✨ your venus placement is not just how you are in romantic relationships but also in friendships and groups.

✨ mercury is underrated in levels of importance- it is how you think, it shapes your thoughts and memories, and is how you communicate with the world and relate to your immediate community. for this reason it is one of the most important planets in synastry.

✨ whichever house you have leo on the cusp of is an area of your life you take pride in and may channel your ego into. for example, leo in the 9th house will take pride in their education, in travel and the journeys they take. leo in the 2nd house takes pride in their possessions, etc.

✨ north node cancer/ south node capricorn people may secretly long for a family and want to have children but feel uncertain about beginning one, not only because they feel that it will be at the sacrifice of personal achievement and career, but because they are afraid that their finances and the state of the world may not be conducive to it. capricorn is a sign that senses a feeling of scarcity, and it can feel difficult for these natives to get over that.

Bonus Recipe: Lentil Soup

I made a copycat lentil soup recipe based off a dish I had while in Turkey, and lemme tell ya. This soup is really goddamn good. Vincent looks distressed but this ain’t a soup to be distressed about. Difficulty: Easy, 45 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

-2 tablespoons olive oil -½ medium onion, finely chopped -1 clove garlic, minced -1 medium tomato, chopped -5 cups chicken stock** -½ cup dried red split lentils -½ cup rice -1 small can tomato paste (about 150mL or so) -1 teaspoon paprika -1 teaspoon cayenne -1 teaspoon dried mint -salt and pepper, to taste

**substitute the chicken stock for vegetable and this recipe will be completely vegan. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high and add in the onion. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes and then add the chopped tomato and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes. 

Add in the stock and then throw in all the other ingredients except the salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and then put on a lid and turn the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes. 

Once the rice and lentils are soft, remove from heat and blend. If you’re using a blender, let the soup cool before you add it in, and then afterwards return it to the stove and cook over medium heat until hot. I recently got an immersion blender and I wanna use it on everything.

Finally, season with salt and pepper. I save this step for last because I don’t want crunchy rice or lentils in my mouth when trying to judge the seasoning. Serve while hot with some toast (or plain rye if you’re impatient like me). 

This soup is fairly thick, and if that doesn’t suit your fancy you can always add more stock to it. But regardless of consistency, it’s a really good soup that I highly recommend, and it’s simple to make.
