Astrology observations 🦉🦉🦉

Credit: Tumblr blog @astroismypassion

🦉 Alcoholicsm can be noticed in charts. Most often I’ve seen potential in becoming heavy alcohol users turned addicts with Pisces, Cancer or Scorpio (liquids) over the 6th house (drinking can become a daily habit).

🦉Aries Moons loves biting people. 💋😅

🦉 Mercury retrograde people hate being interrupted. They also dislike if someone interrupts their thought process when they are focusing on a topic, reading something or studying.

🦉 Virgo placements are really good at balancing control. They can be in control or give you control over them. They really know how to be both authoritative and submissive.

🦉 Uranus/Aquarius in the 8th house can point to death by suicide.

🦉 18 degree is a Virgo degree. It brings a lot of sorrows. Example: you have 18 degree 5th house with Mercury, it can indicates you lost a child in a car accident. 18 degree 11th house can point to loss of a friend. It also represent uncurable, rare diseases that don’t have treatment yet. 18 degree is the degree of hardships and loss.

🦉 5 degree is the most positive in astrology though. It’s the degree of living life and enjoying themselves.

🦉 23 and 11 degree is the degree of divorce.

🦉 22 degrees of any personal planet can indicate wish for immortality.

🦉 Saturn in the 4th house might pick up rocks in the nature, from travels and hikes and might store them in their home.

🦉 Mars in the 4th house might have knives/swords hang somewhere or collect them.

🦉 Mars in the 4th house also dreams of having a fireplace in their home.

🦉29 degrees of any personal planets can indicate high chance of being clairvoyant. Or it’s associated with seeing something prosperous in your life.

🦉 Mercury in the 6th house walks, runs or cycles every day. They are nervous people.

🦉 Neptune in the 2nd house like to spend money on intangible things. They would actually benefit to give some money to charty because often times buy something they don’t need. Also they really like souvenirs from travels. (Neptune rules Pisces, coruler Jupiter in connection with 2nd house (material items)=souvenirs)

🦉 Venus Mars aspects people like cactus. But if it’s in the 2nd, 6th house or in the sign of Taurus, you might really like roses (flowers with thorns).

🦉Saturn in the 4th house might rarely quarrel with people they live with. It happens just time from time.

🦉 If you have Moon Saturn aspect in the 6th house/4th house you might take care of sick animals.

🦉 12th house also represents assassinations.

🦉2nd house not only shows how we earn money, but how we need to spend it or do with it.

🦉 8th house people with planets there can borrow money from bank or inherit it, but they will use it to earn more money.

🦉 8th house shows stock market, not 5th house.

🦉 If you have Mercury/Virgo/Gemini in the 2nd house it can indicate you use card card mainly for your purchase or buy a lot of things online/that you saw on social media. Might also mean you give a lot of money to your siblings.

Hi Diana I recently kept getting signs and feelings that pointed me in the direction of witchcraft and paganism and I’ve accepted that something is trying to call me to these beliefs is that sounds right. My question is where do I start? There is so much information going around and I don’t want to anger anything or get something wrong. What you recommend for someone is is just starting their journey into this religion

HOW TO BECOME A WITCH

Witches could already be practicing for decades, and still, every day, they keep learning new things. That is how wide-ranging and wonderful this path is.

But when taking your first steps, there is no need to be overwhelmed. For now, start with these. Forget everything else.

STEP 1: Look within.

Just because Aphrodite is trending on Twitter does not mean you should worship her. And just because crystals look good on Instagram does not mean you should start your own collection. Your practice should be tailored to your soul, not to the posts on your dashboard.

So go to Café Astrology and enter your birthdate. It will calculate your natal chart, which is basically the manual to your life. It lets you know your strengths and weaknesses so you can let the former make up for the latter. This website not only shows you the details, it also explains what they mean.

STEP 2: Look up.

Now that you have a better knowing of yourself, look beyond your existence. Who do you think made you?

Investigate your lineage as much as you can. Was your family always Christian? Jewish? Atheist? Or did your ancestors have a more traditional belief? Having an inherent connection to the old gods means inviting them into your life will be much easier. If you feel a strong affinity with the Greco-Roman gods particularly, use your natal chart to confirm your theory.

But if after much meditation, you find yourself believing that the source is not a divinity, but the cosmos as a whole, then feel free to embrace that energy.

STEP 3: Look closely.

Our eyes can only see what is right in front of us. Divination allows us to see beyond that, and look into the forgotten past… the hidden present… and the future in all its glory.

Tarot is one of the richest divination systems in existence. Here is how you can learn it in one day. But if you feel that it is not for you, there are many alternatives too. Do you enjoy meditating? You might fall in love with scrying.

STEP 4: Look out.

One of the best things about witchcraft and paganism is that they empower you to improve your life with magic.

Is there a danger you need to protect yourself from? A wound that you need to close? A wrong that you need to right? Whatever it is, there is a spell for it.

Start with the simplest ones. All you need are a few ingredients and ton of faith to make them work.

STEP 5: Look around.

Now that you know who you really are… where your faith truly lies… how to see beyond the obvious… and how to tweak reality to make life easier… you are officially a practitioner.

It is time to expand your knowledge even further. Read as many books as you like. Try as many methods of divination as possible. Perform as many spells as you can.

You can start with these lists:

Take as long as you need with each step. No need to hurry. Good luck in your journey.

Neptune - place of your hidden potential

Neptune is a planet of illusion and confusion. It is very mysterious place in our chart. It brings people a lot of disappointment due to Neptune’s very enigmatic nature. I believe the house our Neptune is placed holds a great potential that is hidden there and takes time to fully understand. What makes you confused and vulnerable with a little bit of work can also be a source of your great strength. 

The House Neptune is shows when you are the most vulnerable. This is a place of confusion, place that you have always a problem to tell the reality from illusion. The way to master your Neptune placement is to recognize your weakness and allow yourself to be vulnerable in this area. Be aware of what brings you confusion. Awarness is your greatest weapon. This is what Neptune truly wants to tell you. Be aware.

1st House - be aware that your weakness lays in your perception of the world and yourself. You may feel lost in life, confused about how you see the world. You may not see it for what it is and people may see you not who you really are. Don’t idolize this world. Don’t idolize your views. Don’t let your artistic nature cloud your judgment. Also, don’t be afraid to be emotional. Don’t be afraid to show your sensitivity. Use amazing psychic gifts you have. Finding confidence in life may be hard for you since your perception of self is delluded but it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. You just have many sides to yourself and you can’t be defined with one word and that’s okay. Be a chameleon; don’t limit yourself to one. Also, your natural optimism can make you a little bit naive so you need to watch out for people because some of them will have no problem using your good heart against you so take care of yourself and trust your intuition more.

2nd House - be aware that your weakness lays in your self-worth. It is what brings you the biggest confusion. You may feel vague about your self-worth. You may feel confused about material things. You need to understand potential that lays in your soul and the practical use of your imagination. You also need to understand that material things are not the biggest evil on the world. They are also not your biggest need. It will always bring you confusion. Find balance!  Be aware of your money (abundance or their lack) in your life. Use them constructively on what you really need. If you can, make your art to give you profit.

3rd House - be aware that your weakness lays in the processing of your words. It can often feel like the words you are looking for in your mind are hidden behind a mist, like they are there but you can’t find them and use them. You can also feel at the moments that you are a better story-teller than everyone else in the room and desperately try to prove it. Don’t idolize the power of your mind but also don’t ignore it. Be aware that you can get an access to a beautiful inner encyclopedia but still you need to make an effort to check yourself while using it. Be aware of the voices you will hear, ideas you will get and be open to messages from your head but be selective of how you will use them. You can take people to other dimensions with your you words, you are highly creative but you must be aware that you need to check things twice before saying them because sometimes your words can be really confusing. Focus on making yourself more clear while speaking, avoid using unecessary words. 

4th House - be aware that your weakness lays in your roots. Family always can bring you a lot of confusion. Many times you don’t see your family for who they really are, you probably idolize them a lot just like your chilhood. You may feel truly lost at your core, not knowing who you are and being too dependent on your roots. Truth is, that yes,  you can become emotionally independent person who is also able to help others to see through their own delusions. You just need to make yourself your strong foundation and set clear boundaries with your family. Your imagination make them seem better that they really are. You need to remember that your home and people who make it are part of your life not the center. Family life will never be as perfect as you wish but it doesn’t mean it’s not going to be good. Appreciate what you can have.

5th House - be aware that your weakness lays in your vision.  You idolize everything. Romance, people, children, hobbies… Everywhere where you can express yourself and follow your vision of “something perfect”.  You just try to run from reality this way. Just be aware perfect love  or a child doesn’t exist. Express yourself artistically, yes, but don’t let your imagination cloud your judgment. Life here is not a Hollywood movie but it doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful. Use your imagination in your creations but don’t let it control your love life (and other aspects). You are extremely creative. Use it wisely.

6th House -  be aware that your weakness lays in working. You love to help others. Animals, people… Your service is needed but is also a place of your delusion. You may get lost in your job. You need to take responsibility and do your work in whatever you choose to but remember about taking care of yourself too. Also, you should pay more attention to deadlines. You can get lost so you need to remember about passing time and other details. You are really responsible and devoted, don’t overdo yourself but also try to look at yourself (especially your health) realistically. Getting a flu won’t kill you but don’t ignore it either. Keep yourself in check.

7th House -  be aware your weakness lays in your  relationships. Whether they are of romantic nature or platonic; you may appear as a very confusing person to others and others are like that to you too. You may have problem with recognizing people who have bad influnece on you, you may idolize them and you can be too dependent on others. There is always something very entangled in your partnerships and you need to recognize that and stop idolizing people in your life. You need to directly adress those issuses. There is a chance for you to see relationships with people clear, as they are. You will become more confident and more independent as a person. Just stay aware of your relationships and don’t let them define you.

8th House - your weakness is tied to taboo topics. You may become obsessed with sensitive topics like death and sex.  You may feel you lack understanding of those and  try obsessively to get information in those areas. You may feel confused and feel you are truly not living your life here on Earth because you may focus too much on matters connected to the other world. You need to be aware that  delving into dangerous matters with that kind of passion may not bring you what you want and just make you feel more lost in life. Use knowledge you gain in constructive way. Don’t hoard it, it can cause you more pain. Share it with others. Don’t idolize taboo. Focus on mundane things too. Come back from the dead, your world is here. 

9th House -  your weakness lays in your philosophy. You may feel confused about your beliefs and be easily influenced by others in this area. Whether you are more into spirituality or religion, any area involving higher realms seems to be bringing confusion to you. This also apply to higher education. You may have problem with finding out what you want to study and you can become perpetual student or reject idea of studying at all. You may have problem with describing your life philosophy and often change beliefs. You can become a fantastic teacher for yourself and others. You have great psychic abilities. Don’t let this confusion stop you from spiritual development. 

10th House - be aware that your weakness lays in your social position. You  feel confused about your position in the world you may feel lost on your life path and you may appear to others as this always indecisive person in those matters. Be aware that feeling of being lost in life happens to everyone. You need to remember about what you truly want to achieve and understand that it will take time. Don’t idolize achievement. Follow it but don’t forget about other important things in life. You will be at the top of a social ladder. You will inspire others to work hard for your goals. Just be aware that outer sucess is not the goal end in life.

11th House - your vulnerability lays in your sense of belonging.  Confusion is tied to your need to be a part of a group. You may idolize them a lot. You may idolize society a lot and see no flaws in how it functions.  You may also do that to your friends. You need to stop looking at people through pink glasses. Remember that humanity is flawed. Be aware of that  being a human means making  mistakes. You can be a strong individual who can do a lot of good for people and society but you need to remember about the fact that society is built from individuals who just like you, are only humans. Allow them to be.

12th House - your weakness lays in your isolation. You may feel very helpess and confused, you may feel you are not safe in this world and you may try to delve into another to find your inner security. You isolate yourself from this world and it not only brings you more confusion but it is also a source of your pain. You can’t run from yourself. You are extremely gifted person. You have amazing ability to reach higher dimensions but you shouldn’t do that in order to avoid pain. Be aware of the mundane world and try to stay more connected with it. You won’t regret it. Our world is painful but you are a part of it. And people like you make it more beautiful. In retrograde - you may have a problem with accepting your vulnerability due to the aversion in immersing into the more spiritual side of yourself. You are a very private person and you dislike showing  vulnerability but it runs deep in you and you cannot reject this part of yourself.

They may be not showing their interest in having someone, at least not outwardly, they may despise the idea of marriage. They may need a time to realise that they want from their partner and what kind of partner they want.

Moon in Synastry : The Haves and Have Not’s

(Foals - Electric bloom Artaban Remix)

Moon Opposite sun : The public affair

This synastry aspect between two people can create a colorful affair to say the least. Nothing is really ever just left to be with between the two and quite literally turn what should’ve been a fling or one night stand into a deep relationship, or rather a small crush into walking down the aisle and sharing “I do’s.” In most cases the aspect can seem like polar opposites coming together yet they some how blend so easily. the sun person is likely to be the more dominate force in the relationship no matter how watery or passive their natal sun is. they tend to place the moons feelings above theirs and are readily sacrificial but can still occasionally exhibit brashness, selfishness and stubborn resistance to the moon person. the moon person male or female will often be nurturing, supportive, understanding and patient with the sun person. That being said the moon will still manage to be co-dependent, needy, emotionally overwhelming and slightly moody with the sun person. these two people will be deeply close and highly protective of one another whether it’s platonic, romantic or familial the bond runs deep because the two of you in a way complete each other. this pair can seem very intimate and close in public but ironically this pair is just as close behind closed doors! the difference is that this pairings seems more passive and easy going in public (libra) and in their dealings with others but are far more passionate and aggressive(active) with one another privately(Aries) this placement does not normally relate to the topic of sex as it deals with the ego and emotional state of two people but dare I say this aspect in itself is very warm sexually and is more “I love you” sex then “lets fuck”

(Jamie Isaac - Find The Words)

Moon Square Sun : The Moodiest of slow dances

So here we have a pair who unlike the above mentioned is not as Rosemarie and cherry blossom. These two people normally don’t hit it off and in some cases they hardly notice one another! if they do it’s likely a result of rubbing one another the wrong way. if this is a romantic involvement there is a noticeable on and off quality the initial starting of the relationship. often this relationship is highly feminine in it’s expression and can seem emotionally heavy and tense but also a bit unstable and shaky. the sun person normally enjoys the attention(good or bad) of the moon person and often unconsciously does things to provoke the extremes from the moon person. the moon person unconsciously lashes out and or over nurtures as a means of getting the desired response from the sun person. The mind games and emotional manipulation can be quite vexing. that being said overtime these two are practically inseparable. the sun person albeit more on the rational side learns to cope with the moons more intense emotions and even learns to express a more calmer and toned version of their harsher side in order to create a safe heaven for the sun person.(much of this is done out of love rather than necessity) the moon person learns to control their more explosive reactions with the sun person and often brushes of much of their behavior as time goes on. these two have big fights, big laughs, big miscommunications, and even bigger make up sex. they love each other and no argument or pitfall will ever change that. these two stay on one another’s minds constantly and often this aspect can create a co-dependency as both start feeling a rather empty feeling when they’re not in the presence of the other. the emotions run very strong so albeit things get better with this placement, controlling the emotions and ego is VERY important between these two.

(Alex Burey - Inside world)

Moon Sextile and Trine Sun : I think I like your morning breath

This couple is likely aesthetically pleasing to look at. they fit like PB & J and can waltz around each other like a smooth jazz overlay. most times these two are caught up in one another, barley paying mind to the people or environment around them. They tend to be constantly stuck in a honey moon glaze and one that never seems to end. The sun person tends to idolize the moon person, often barring a strong curiosity and desire for closeness with the moon person. The moon person who often shines quite independently in this union loves to hear the thoughts and feelings of the sun person, to take in the sun persons history and being. The moon person is very close to the sun person and often finds them to be so perfect and homey. these two often are addicted to each other in romantic pairings, while in platonic or familial bonds these two are genuinely always hanging out and enjoying one another’s companies even whilst doing the most mundane things. The sun person can often seek out the moon person just to feel home again and vice versa. this connection is often very easy and flows without little effort. the thing here is that things can sometimes flow a little “too well” but this can be aided by other aspects of course. this is great to have between two lovers as it promotes good energy and vibes and that their is a lovely equilibrium between the ego and the heart so to speak.

( Aseul - Joke)

Moon conjunct Sun : Harmony looks like you

This is a couple that makes you feel the warmth at being at the amusement park late night, with bright yellow Shinto lights. they’re so mirrored and textualized. this couple can read one another just by sharing a glance, and can go rom seemingly doing their own separate projects to suddenly being foreheads length apart deeply entranced by one another. The sun person is often very receptive and careful with the moon persons feeling and can take on an aggressive tone with people who approach the moon in a way any less than how they prefer it to be. the sun person is extra sensitive to the moon persons insecurities and pains and can seem like a security guard. the moon person is very tender and loving with the moon person often cuddling and holding the sun as a means of giving them security and a bit of an ego stroke. these two tend to be very busy and constantly active as they feel a need to relate to others whilst around one another. the passion runs deep but it’s also very warm and relaxed in it’s expression. they need each other but they also know how to survive independently.

(Delilah - Love you so )

Moon Opposite Moon: A lifetime 

This pair run hot, Cold, inferno, snow storm and repeat all over again. They can be sensual but also turbulent and lost without footing. Both parties feel a sense of completion in the other but also feel a subtle repulsion by one another’s emotional habits. there is plenty of intimacy and in-fact these two are practically joined at the hip, but that doesn’t stop the seemingly endless disagreements and bickering that goes on(harmlessly of course). both parties value one another and find themselves fitting neatly into one another’s emotional sphere very easily. closeness is important here and maintain harmony whilst intimate is very big as these two rarely let anything get to far out of hand out of fear of losing their lover. they can be emotionally needy and very protective of one another, but smothering and babying can easily become an issue as both sides refuse to confront any issues head on out of fear of a bad reaction. the sex is often very emotional in it’ s nature and much like mars and moon aspects these two have sex for the sake of emotional comfort. a very good marriage indicator but it’s advised that both have hobbies outside of the partnership otherwise a feeling of being cramped or stifled might occur

(Sinead Harnett - Unconditional)

Moon Square Moon : Trouble in the shape of us

This aspect gets a bad rep in astrology as being the black hole of romance, as it make it emotionally impossible for two people to connect. This aspect is actually deep in it’s ability to create an unconditional love between two people. Their backgrounds are probably as different as hell and heaven and the way they deal with pain and trauma is worlds apart but that’s the beauty of them and why they fall for one another, it’s the act that they bring these drastic perspectives into one another’s lives and change it deeply. both are so deeply connected and overtime they build a form of communication and intimacy that may look like a circus act to outsiders but is actually a sophisticated and complex manner of speaking for the two of them. they are very goofy together and can have fights that come and go. By no means is this a healthy or easy pair but they make it work and the passion and depth that exist in this union is unmatched. They have such a fevering and personal reaction to one another. they see one another as home and often wouldn’t trade one another’s good or bad traits for anything. this is another strong marriage aspect. 

(Lane 8 - No Captain )

Moon Sextile Or Trine Moon : A little Change

This pair is very sweet. this can often make the getting to know “each other stage” seem like it’s taking a year and a half to get on the ground mainly because their is so much attraction and magnetism that these two will likely be shy, just barley stepping out of their comfort zones then running back to safety only to miss the other intensely. they are very intimate when they do get of the ground and the chemistry is so natural. the sex is often very constant here and is a result of the good and harmonious energy generated here. these two feel so at ease and cozy with one another that stay at home dates are common. these two prefer privacy and don’t really like outsiders unless it’s very close friends or family. They can seem standoffish when together or detached but they are just caught up in one another and probably didn’t notice you were even there. they readily sacrifice for one another and the romance never feels forced as the two just seem to want to do things out of emotional desire. they can grow obsessed with one another but this is usually offset by other aspects, also if both people are naturally independent this will just add an air of intimacy. another marriage aspect! and it really helps offset harsh aspects as both parties readily care for the emotions of the other easily.   

(Tangerine Dream - Love on A Real Train)

Moon Conjunct Moon : Many Life time

These two are often so close right of the bat that it can feel like they’ve known one another many lives before they’d met in this one. the connection can be very soulful and the two can easily vibe and resonate feelings and emotions as if they’re both feeling it at the same time. they readily connect without words and seem to project feelings and reflect feelings back and forth like a pendulum. They can be inseparable but also the co-dependent element could drive either party crazy as they will face many of the positives and negatives they’d rather not see or face within themselves. They tend to be so similar that it can be hard to gain a new or deviated perspective on an issue which makes It even harder to see one another’s issues or pains from a necessary state of open-mindedness. the love is deep and this aspect can really lessen the bad aspects in a syanstry as the emotional connection overrides much of the complications, but with that said caution is advised to take moments apart to regain clarity and more of a less biased view. this is a great aspect to have between two people.   

(River Tiber - patience )

Moon opposite Mercury: Sometimes We look away 

They can seem like a very dysfunctional pair. The moon person will often feel like nails and plyers are being thrown at them by mercury and may instinctually guard themselves to ready for the incoming train of hurt. mercury can wear a diving suit often worried about the moon person’s waves drowning them. these two are VERY understanding though and often move past the issues quick and maturely. most times the moon person understands that mercury is just “different” and mercury sees that the moon person just sees things “different” these two often adapt as they go along and gain new perspectives and views from one another that help deepen and enliven their connection. This placement is deeply patient and often both of these natives wait on each other both figuratively and literally. they understand that they do things separate but ultimately do what they can for one another. mercury is very giving and often does what they can to be understanding and nurturing to their moon lover but it does get hard sometimes because they often are so used to being one specific way. the moon person senses mercury trying and often has a very cuddly and responsive nature to the mercury person because of this. being around them can feel like being in a crowded elevator that is completely silent. they tend to develop their own subtle and discreet manner of speaking to one another without the use of words.

This couple can seem like a unstable building, lacking in support beams and proper cabling. they are slightly toxic yet they have this healing and often safe effect on one another. to outsiders their interactions can seem confusing or distressed but in reality these two likely developed their own secret language that is special to them both. the mercury person tends to find the moon person irrational, emotionally unstable and perplexing whilst moon will find the mercury person to be cold, stoic, serious and straight to the point.  that being said these two start rocky and become very emotionally tied to one another. mercury learns to let go of their objective nature and just to go with the flow so to speak when talking to the moon person while the moon person learns to be patient and listen to the mercury person instead of pushing their own desires and wishes. these natives tend to be very flirty and have a very strong chemistry that only becomes that much more warm and nurturing as they age. this couple can be very moody and have fights that start just as suddenly as they dissipate. the stability lies in the fact that these two are always working to understand one another and becoming mini investigators in order to respond properly to one another. this aspect is great in synastry as it promotes a caring and often cautious manner of speaking with one another. 

(Avoure - Aura ) 

Moon Trine or Sextile Mercury : You Keep my mind still

this union is often characterized by it’s seamless transitions. the couple seems as though their emotional states and rational minds link up almost robotically, poetically, and rhythmically. Mercury is often captivated by the emotional complexity and intensity of the moon person whilst the moon adores the mercury natives ability to get them centered and steady. These two can express emotions in tunes, poems, eye contact or even just kissing and touching. the desire for intimacy is often on the brain quite a bit and these two can often balance out space and intimacy pretty well and don’t suffer from the same “over-closeness” as the above aspects. they tend to often be very musical together and can enjoy the sad rom com’s as it cultivates an even deeper sense of belonging with one another. this aspect is often very kissy and lovey dovey as it and the mercury in the 4th house overlay are very close in expression. these two can be obsessed with one another often going out of their way to serve one another. 

( Ari Lennox - Cascade) 

Moon Conjunct Mercury : Synchronized minds, Synchronized times 

These two are soft with one another, often seeking to speak quietly with one another and often very sensitive to change in rift or tone in one another’s voice. the level of intimacy and closeness in the words shared between these two can almost seem like they speak another language separate from the rest of us. the mercury person is very sensitive to the moons feelings and usually handles their emotions in a sympathetic and understanding compacity. the moon person is often talkative and expressive with mercury because they feel understood and listened to. these two have deep conversations and can easily open up about trauma or darker times because of the deep level of mental - emotional understanding. they are very vibrational and pick up on any sudden or subtle change of the other and can even have their moods change depending on the mood of the other. the connection is so strong but it is also highly moody due to the fact that both parties feel their feelings and feel one another so strongly. 

( Archy Marshall - Dull Boys)

Moon Opposite Venus : Stay in motion with me 

This couple can feel warm and like home. they are often cuddling or sleeping on one another. this aspect almost creates a fated like feeling between two people as their romantic and ego natures seem to fit like a key. they give one another what they didn’t know they needed. the feelings of the moon person are often heightened when they’re around the Venus person, often making them feel safe and unguarded at the hands of Venus. the Venus person often feels drawn to taking care of the moon person and nurturing their feelings and emotions. the two often are extremely intimate with one each other. this aspect can often make two people extremely loyal and prone to having children or marrying young with one another because of the sense of “bliss” and safety it creates. they almost want to create a nest out of the feelings and passions they share for one another. The Moon person can often nurture and feed the Venus person whilst the Venus person can often baby or handle moon with kiddy gloves. these two mainly suffer from over passive behavior. 

(Haraket - Taint King krule & Jamie Isaac Remix)

Moon Square Venus: Lets sleep naked 

These two are VERY hot together. it has a very Scorpio x cancer esq quality to it. These two often express their affections(Venus) and their emotions(moon) on two different parallels and often have to learn to love one another in a way that accommodates what they both desire. ironically with this aspect their is the realization that the two of you have been craving the expression of the other for quite sometimes even if neither of you knew it yet. the way both of you express compassion and love is so deeply felt by one another, although in it’s early iterations it feels more like an abrasion than a soft blanket. as the union progresses the feelings and sensations start to run higher and high as the two of you begin to crave intense expressions of intimacy. the Moon person tends to be nurturing and sensitive to the needs of Venus in such a way that they feel safe and secure but also deeply turned on. Venus expresses affection and love to the moon person in such a way that they feel beautiful and desired but also deeply seduced. the two have a emotionally sexual connection and can often turn cuddling into making love. the line between sex and emotional expression is blurred here and often expressed with intensity and volcanic urgency. the two people need to connect, they need to be close and have one another which is why this aspect in particular feels like a whirlwind romance. both partners tend to avoid fighting but due to this being a square their are still plenty of quite sulks and disagreements that happen here and there.

(Archie Marshall - Arise Dear Brother)

Moon Sextile and Trine Venus : What time is it again?

This is often a sweet aspect to have between two people no matter if it’s platonic, romantic, familial or otherwise. it creates a sense of understanding between two people as much of what is spoken between the two is deeply understood on an almost cosmic like level. these two can fly back from cute to brainy at the drop of a hat. they can seem like a nerdy couple or rather a detached and cerebral couple to an outsider but in reality these two have very intricate emotional ties and ques that they use when speaking to gauge one another’s emotional state. The Venus person  be supportive and patient with the moon person often understanding why they’re acting or thinking the way they are and normally adapt to aid moon during any stress that they cannot process. the moon person is very tender and receptive to the Venus person ensuring that the Venus feels safe and free to express themselves and their creativity. these two are very close and often take care of one another as if it were second nature. although it’s not as sexual as the opposite or square their is a very loving and forgiving quality to this partnership and these two are very protective and dare I say inseparable. 

(Eli & Fur - Coming Back)

Moon Conjunct Venus : You’re the heart stopper 

This couple is the classic vintage aesthetic. they are often romancing one another through eye contact, gentle hand touching, passionate kisses and the cuddles that lead to daring sexual velocities. the chivalry is second usually to the depth produced here. the Venus person is so understood by moon that they often are all over the moon, hands and all. the moon person whom adores Venus affection usually seeks to please and nurture their expression of this desire. these two are like yin and yan and because of this they can seem very co-dependent and inseparable. they both value intimacy and tend to be very closely intertwined, often doing daily activities or spending every moment they can with one another. they often never need space from one another because the feelings of warmth and acceptance are like a vile of serotonin and dopamine. these two get off on being sweet and loving with one another and because of this they equate all their cute gestures, emotions and vulnerabilities as the Bees knees. these two for a lack of better words are obsessed with one another. The problem here is that arguments are avoided like the black plague and most times important issues are resolved by being sweet when the actual problem should be met directly and honestly. but these two don’t give a shit, they are caught up in a never ending honeymoon phase and this is all great, but if no other supporting factors augment this it can make the relationship swell and burst as one or both parties will begin to feel trapped or resent the other due to everything seeming so “swept under the rug”

(Craig Mack - Get down) 

Moon opposite Mars : Braking the bed

These two are passionate and overbearing. the relationship can start pretty fast almost like a bullet train. The Moon person is often very seduced and emotionally drawn to the more aggressive and domineering nature of the mars person. the mars person is sexually drawn to the sensitive and rather subdued nature of mars and seeks to swallow them right up. the union can have a volatile taste almost seeming like it lacks restraint or patience as both moon and mars can act as if they will practically explode if they aren’t able to get intimate with one another at least once a day. the energy can feel tense and heavy especially at the beginning as both of these natives can feel a very karmic and intense tug to one another’s energies. Although all mars and moon aspects can be a huge indicator of making babies or extremely emotional driven sex id say this aspect is very romantic in the sense that it centers around both natives lacking the fundamental quality the other has therefore making the union seem that much more gentle and touchy. That being said this can be a very emotionally driven relationship in which everything mars does sends moon into an emotional response and everything that the moon expresses sends mars into a fit of reaction.

(Dream, Ivory - Scorpion)

Moon Square Mars : Sensational feeling

This aspect produces an almost anvil like weight between two people. there is a depth to the connection almost as if the two people were two pieces waiting to meet. there are problems to be had as the mars person is often to aggressive and abrasive with the moon person who lacks the proper defenses against the mars person do to them hitting such a deep place for them. the mars person usually acts out of fear and defends against their own emotional set backs dealing with their IC/4th house. as the connection deepens these two become intensely involved and very much the homebodies! sex Is often very heated and passionate here and often has an explosive and urgent air to it. these two are cuddle monsters but more importantly they are best friends. the square opens a very understanding and forgiving side to the short comings of one another. the moon person tends to learn to react to the mars person in a way that is still soft but also heavily footed on the ground. the mars person learns to react to the moon person in a unguarded way, as they soon realize that the moon person is their healer rather than their wound. the sex is often the likes of baby - making and dare I say this aspect has a high commonality for accidently making a baby so try to wrap up aha! Mars can act like an attack dog whenever anyone gets to close to the moon person and the moon person can turn into a scorned mother if mars is ever in over there head.

(Breathe - Telepopmusik)

Moon Trine or Sextile Mars : Can I say I “I do”?

This aspect is very much so a sweet and tender aspect to have between two people. The emotional and physical energies in the relationship blend in such a marvelous way. the mars person although independent and masculine in their expression manages to be very patient and receptive to the needs of their precious moon person. the moon person whom often is the more emotionally expressive one of the bunch tends to be highly vulnerable and comfortable with mars, they trust mars. These two are very romantic and cannot get enough of one another. mars is often deeply sexually aroused by the moon persons softness and rather emotionally complex nature and often sees the adventure and challenge of discovering their core all the while the moon person is often in awe and almost childlike at mars, like a teenager they gush and wane at mars affections and find themselves emotionally aroused. sex happens quite a bit here, on the bed, couch, floor, kitchen counters, the back seat of the Toyota, the skyline, the stairs, anywhere these two can they will. sex is a HUGE sort of comfort for these two and it isn’t sex out of boredom per say it’s more of “I want to make love to you because I cannot articulate how deep and passionate these feelings I have are.” The relationship is often passionate but it isn’t as volatile or intense as the others it’s more so of a calm and rather sweet gust of wind. VERY common aspect in the chart of married couples and even more so in couples that have decades on their belt. making babies is something that happens naturally with this placement!, normally it’s planned but if either of the natives have a natal mars and moon aspect or a natal Venus and moon aspect or rather libra and cancer natally the child will be unexpected. 

(SG Lewis - Hurting Feat. AlunaGeorge)

Moon Conjunct Mars: I’m Tired of trying to Hurt you

This is a powerful aspect. These two are not only very fertile together but this aspect can alter the hormones in lesbian relationships, or make the female far more “ready” to mate then normal. in male relationships it can Raise testosterone, either leading to increased physical disputes or raising the sexual expression by increasing the libido. this aspect is very intense and often times an unforgettable one as you’ll be having the most sex you’ve ever had with this placement. mars is often obsessed and almost animalistically drawn to the moon person. the moon person almost in a state of heat is just as obsessed and even seduces the moon person via mating dances and slow subtle allure. these two play cat and mouse whether they’re married or not. the moon person enjoys being chased and the mars person enjoys chasing. the two often have a strong connection and one that is often fiery and intense in it’s expression. in many ways the couple can seem to hot for television and may be the one couple you have to tell to calm down with the oversexualized PDA. the thing is they can’t help it, this aspect creates such an intense need to procreate and rather to get busy that these two are likely to be the elderly couple still getting it busy in the nursing home. as both people get older this aspect calms down, and when they have kids it tends to slow down a bit as the aspect has done what it’s needed to do per say. but I should mention the immense chemistry and desire doesn’t fade, merely cuddling and romancing one another becomes more important than fuckin each others brains out. there is a strong propensity to hurting one another through the sheer intensity of feeling produced here but in true aries like fashion the fights blow up and simmer down faster than water can touch the floor.

(Christian Loffler - Haul Feat. Mohna)

Moon Square Jupiter : Were a little to in love aren’t we?

This relationship is FAST, everything moves quickly, and the stages can seem like blurs. one moment you’re nervous and idle, the next moment you are spewing your life’s journal to one another, the next moment the two of you are naked as can be on the tarmac in your sun room, the next moment you’re sporting that innocent silver on your finger after saying your vows. The love connection is swift, and a little intense due to how expansive Jupiter is. often times the Jupiter person is very open, lighthearted and kind to the moon person and in response the moon person is intimate, loving and eager. these two are adorable. the Jupiter person is often scatter brained and forgetful with the moon person and will likely forget the anniversaries and code names from time to time but the moon person will often forgive and let bygones be bygones. the Jupiter person will be genuine and honest with the moon person preferring to leave nothing to chance. Jupiter doesn’t quite get the moon person or their emotions but they are deeply fascinated and in a way open to the ups and downs of dealing with them. the moon person sees this in Jupiter and opens up more and more which is why things move so fast, the good energy and happy vibe is what builds the love between these two. arguments are rare but they do happen and boy can they BE dramatic. if one could categorize this union i’d say it’s passionate and slightly overwhelming in the best way imaginable. 

(Christian Loffler - Nil)

Moon Opposite Jupiter : I never need to know “why” with you

These two are a paradox. on one hand they’re the easiest and most loving pair you’ll meet, but on the other hand they’re confusing and eccentric. This couple is one that’ll always find themselves mirroring one another and always having those odd moments of self discovery through one another. this relationship is a mixture of going to your therapist while the other half is playing on the playground with the love of your life. there is so much beauty to be had in this union. Jupiter is often quirky and young when it comes to how they deal with the moon person and their feelings, to them everything falls into place and they believe that the moon person will find their way. the moon person although irritable at first learns to adjust to the Jupiter persons more carefree and unbothered mentality. the feelings are sentimental but free spirited. they’re loyal and committed but also extremely emotionally nomadic. these two tend to play quite a bit and the arguments that could be had by other aspects is greatly watered down by this aspect as it has a large amount of energy to it’s name. This is a couple that is often spiritual and philosophical in their dealings with each other and the world around them. the ability to except one another’s worst self is big here as both parties adore the bare side of one another. pursuing astrology, tantra, reku and so forth are all common expressions of this synastry aspect.

 (A. C Freazy - Alien)

Moon Trine Or Sextile Jupiter : I’m Lovin this head space babeh

This aspect is very healing in synastry, in many ways it’s too perfect for words. it creates this deep sense of happiness and peace in the union almost as if a wave of serotonin is rushing in an overflow just by being intimate with one another. the moon person tends to be soft and sweet with Jupiter, often encouraging their minds, and deep thoughts and Jupiter in  turn is captivated by the moon like a moth to a light. to put it into words these two play a small dance with one another as if they’re in an endless mating game. Jupiter is constantly trying to wow the moon with their ideals, concepts and new ideologies while the moon person is like some enthralled student easily seduced by the Jupiter’s mental depth. These two escape in one another quite a bit and really the only danger here is getting so obsessed in the way you make each other feel that you forget that their is a world outside of each other. this aspect alone negates a lot of harsher aspects in synastry including harsh Venus/mars/Saturn aspects.

(Jadu Heart - Heroin Song) 

Moon Conjunct Jupiter : It feels like I’m on drugs with you

This aspect is often grand in it’s nature as it can make two people highly positive and in some ways the feeling never ever stops. Their is so much faith and belief in the unknown that these two rarely if at all worry about the serious aspect of things. these two always believe that things will fall into place and be some beautiful aurora borealis. the thing is this connection is so expansive that these two can get into some trouble with themselves and with their surroundings. they seem to have a unified belief of chasing their connection to the ends of the earth without ever realizing that their are some things we as people can’t necessarily change or fix. Jupiter has so much love and good will for the moon person and the moon person is so protective and passionate over the Jupiter person. these two are often vibrant and deeply philosophical towards their bond sometimes over intellectualizing their connections other times living to intensely in the colorful world they created. the compassion, forgiveness and spiritually divine nature of this relationship can feel like a never ending high but the very real truth is that the relationship is also bringing out greed, gluttony and sloth in both people, it’s excessive but rewarding and full of growth and these two will not be the same after.

(Death And Vanilla - A Flaw In The Iris)

Moon Opposite Saturn : The vulnerable kiss

These two can seem gloomy and rather stoic. The inside of this relationship is hard work and architecture, nothing easily gained or created as much of what they’ve established and worked through took time and set backs to accomplish. The moon person is often surprisingly open and romantic with Saturn while Saturn is on the receiving end rather than the giving end. the Saturn person does adore the moon and values their compassion and sweetness quite a bit but they often have innate fears and set backs that make it a learning curve with the moon person in learning how to express affection properly. moon often doesn’t read into this much as Saturn shows affection through the security and foundation they bring into the union. this aspect is actually wonderful so long as the moon person can cope with Saturn’s slow affections. Saturn is deeply possessive and often magnetically set on the moon person but often hides this behind an iron clad mask. the moon person often can grow sad or stifled by the Saturn persons continuously serious nature. Ironically though these two both stick around for the long haul and like with all Saturn placements this aspect not only becomes better but it allows both natives to grow tremendously. whether or not this aspect works out these two will never ever be able to forget one another.

(Nic Clay - Life Before Love?)

Moon Square Saturn : Were hopeless romantics aren’t we sweetie pie

These two can be butter and cream. The pull these two have on one another can be otherworldly. Saturn is often cold and emotionally closed yet they find themselves wanting to do and be more for the moon person, often openly making sacrifices and working towards expressing their feelings in a way that isn’t so boxed. the moon person is often in deep love with the Saturn person, often seeking to understand them and be supportive of them. the Saturn person can have mood swings and seem rather up and down with how they express intimacy which in most cases this is a hard pill to swallow continuously. I’ve seen a lot of good interactions though through research and often times the moon person learns how to not only cope but they know just the right thing to do or say to get their love bug oughta a funk. These two are honestly very close and the hard times can be Very hard and merciless. the good times can seem very few and far between but they are felt with such deep sincere feeling. this is a tough as nails pair because not everything went smoothly, the dates were awkward and difficult and the first kiss was far to serious, sex was anxious and the cuddling still feels like an out of body experience but over time these two build a love that is sooooooooooo intimate and so pure. if two people are willing to stand the test of time they have a beautiful relationship to look forward to. This is another common relationship aspect! and I’ve seen a lot of elderly couples in which the other has passed and they’ve refused to re-marry. 

(Chromatics - Time Rider)

Moon Trine Or Sextile Saturn: I choose you

This is a heavy union. these two are strong but emotionally serious and full of depth. Saturn can be serious about the moon persons feelings and often seeks to react and manage them in a mature and genuine way. the moon person often sees Saturn as a safe place and a home. these two tend to be quick to each others call and often read one another’s body language easily. the moon person tends to understand the Saturn persons serious nature and is often in awe of it, seeking to rise to the occasion. the Saturn person enjoys the moon persons vulnerability and more compassionate side. these two often share intimacies and closeness easily bit prefer to do so in private rather than publicly.  that being said Saturn is more okay with showing PDA like hugs and neck kisses to the moon person in public if it means making the moon person feel safe and secure whilst the moon person isn’t necessarily needy or starving if Saturn is feeling more closed, rather the moon person understands and usually waits to go for more intimacy at a later time. the union is very warm and earthy and these two are likely very sensual and touchy with one another. hair stroking, thigh rubbing, prolonged kissing and so on. Loyalty runs deep and these two will likely remain together for quite sometime. 

(Jadu Heart - Purity)

Moon Conjunct Saturn : The sun icy cold for you

This is one of the most karmic and intense placements any two people can share. this couple is one marked by it’s maturity and deep rooted seriousness. the two rarely never marry, but in many cases marriage is the final destination. these two are like milk and honey. the intensity and devotion that so readily characterizes this partnership is often the huge reason why these two often once they open up to one another, never part. their feelings are often patient and reliable, as normal mood swings and ups and downs that ruin most partnerships are not as frequent and in many ways are non-existent here. the moon person is very close and dependent on the Saturn person, usually seeking to nurture and soothe Saturn. Saturn is naturally drawn to building and serving the moon person. in either role(male/female) the Saturn and moon archetype of nurture and providing security runs very deep here. the Saturn person is very loyal and protective of the moon person and often readily expresses their possessive and more aggressor like energies on outsiders as to them the moon is apart of their heart and soul and it can be SO hard for the Saturn person to learn how to share. The moon person is often easy going and sweet but can have quite the intense possessive streak along with a strongly held obsession with Saturn. this aspect is so complex because it introduces so many faces and concepts on these two people. sex is often very serious and earthy here, and it’s very consistent as both sides need the physically express their commitment to one another. Saturn takes on the more aggressive role here sexually, while the moon plays the role of the seducer.

(Gotye - Hearts A Mess)

Moon Opposite Uranus : Pick Apart The Pieces of your heart 

These two are like lava and ice. in some ways their connection is turbulent and rather unsteady, whist in others it’s compassionate and sentimental beyond belief. these two fell in love from first sight and got emotionally involved just as fast. the Uranus person initiated the contact, they were drawn to the moon persons expression, it was so different and unique something they wanted to understand. the moon person let Uranus in, captivated by their electricity, their ambiguity, their quietness. Uranus and moon tend to produce a lot of sexy, passionate moments but things can come and go. the connection is off and on emotionally and the Uranus person especially can pull away when the moon tries to dig and the moon person can get closed of or stoic when Uranus tries to hard to “read into” the moon person. these two are close in their own way but they seem far like to blocks on opposite sides of the Atlantic sea. the feelings can run very hot and then cool down into a friendly rather detached front moments later. the funny thing is these two or hard to separate and always find their way back to one another. it’s not manipulation, game playing or even ego trips that cause this, rather these two see one another as home and can’t help but gravitate back to where it all started. it’s not an unstable aspect to have in synastry as often Uranus doesn’t mind sticking around. 

(Bonobo - Stay the Same feat Andreya) 

Moon Square Uranus : I’m falling for your crazy

This one is a biggie in composites and synastry for marriage as often times contrary to popular belief it invites a more realistic and authentic showing of two people into a relationship. these two are quirky and goofy and have absolutely no concept of one another which is why this aspect is so wonderful. these two see one another in their craziest ways, the parts that don’t make sense and even more so the aspects the don’t fit every piece of the story. the Moon person find the Uranus person unsteady, unreliable and a candidate for dementia with how forgetful they can be yet they adore the often silly, goofy and childlike presence of Uranus and often find themselves forgiving the latter. the Uranus person sees the moon person as emotional, moody and overbearing and a tad to serious yet they can’t help but enjoy riling up the moon person, provoking them or even seeing the loveable and soft nature they have behind it all. These two get emotionally connected very fast and can be very connected on all levels fast as if they’ve known one another for years. they both tend to suffer from lacking in consistency and can be very moody but regardless these two are very very close. Uranus teaches moon to fly without wings and moon teaches Uranus to walk on wet carpet without flinching. these two can seem like they’re on cloud x to outsiders because they are genuinely so into each other. 

(bonobo - the Keeper Feat. Andreya Triana Banks Remix)

Moon Trine Or Sextile Uranus : Everything is so electric with you

These two are very connected. one of my favorite things about this aspect is that it misses the rocky ups and downs of the previous aspects. it is still volatile and unpredictable but most of the spontaneous outburst tend to be pleasant rather than unsettling. these two are drawn to each other like two nuclear fission molecules. Uranus is normally the dominate force and can often be intense, radiant and even perplexed and vexed by moon. Moon is often subtle, unnerved and rather observant of the Uranus person. these two have a freight like connection and usually have intense encounters that leave both speechless and emotionally volte. these two can often have a very hard time being normal around each other and usually have a tense and almost heavy atmosphere. it can feel sexual, whilst other times it can feel platonic, as often the feelings are flying back and forth. these two regardless take one another seriously and have a strong sexual attraction based on how deeply they clique on an emotional level. sex on a first date or after cuddling is common place but it isn’t out of lust it’s more so because you both find a home or rather a place without judgment in one another. this connection is the most mature of the moon and Uranus interactions but it is also the least in it’s ability at being lighthearted as the feelings generated are typically more serious and more deep emotional connecting based on the les superficial aspects of one another personalities (beyond quirks)

(Bonobo - Kerala) 

Moon Conjunct Uranus : We’ve been dancing in Deja Vu 

This aspect can feel continuous and reflective. you both feel the same emotion but almost in a reflexive way. the Uranus person wants intimacy yet they are roundabout, but the moon wants intimacy yet is indirect. the two people see, like they’re constantly moving in counter attack patterns to the other. this aspect is more guarded then it’s brethren as you might wonder. this has to do with the fact that the Uranus person Is projecting and the moon person is unconsciously responding to the projection. Uranus adores the moons sensitivity but is afraid of it, the moon person feels this and instinctively pulls their emotions away and this ends up causing the Uranus person inward distress. these two are deeply linked and tend to react of one another like circuits. they react and react until everything starts to feel like it’s already happened before. these two are passionate but unsteady as much of their feelings are never separately felt, this aspect creates the illusion of independency but really it’s co-dependency in actions that both people are thinking are their own. regardless of all this these two have such a powerful connection that in most cases this only makes them that much closer and inseparable. they both end up stuck on one another and never really let each other go. this is an amazing connection so long as both parties stop reading so deeply into the actions of the other person!

(Nick Murphey - Stop me) 

Moon Opposite Neptune : The coldest cloud of two

These two can seem detached, and much of their public interacting can seem like they’re two separate entities who happen to be sharing the same space. these two are so in love with one another and normally the romance and sacrifice run heavy but they also come with a rational head saddled on. Neptune is a sucker for the moon person but to an extent. the moon person is sensitive and caring to their Neptune lover but they’re apt to the emotional mind games. these two have a easy time reading past one another’s more lower qualities but they also enjoy one another’s company and connection. it can be hard to understand one another at times as the Neptune person can lack discretion and clarity in their actions and what they say so often times the moon person is left to fill in the blanks. the moon person is often irrational and severely moody which at times makes Neptune want to go into full on escape artist mode. their connection regardless is very sweet and nurturing  as both parties have a deep affinity for taking care of the other no matter what the cost the responsibility and depth in their interactions and their quiet harmony and love of one another far outweighs the small short comings. Neptune is very forgiving and understanding of the moon persons habits and feelings/reactions to the world. the moon person is soft and tender with how vulnerable and often times delusional Neptune can be about things. the hall mark of the opposition is it’s patient and rather comfortable nature as both people no matter how bad the argument or how hard the circumstance always work it out through tenderness and compassion.

(Chet Faker - Solo Sunrise )

Moon Square Neptune : Is It okay If we don’t see today?

This is one of the hardest aspects in synastry to have and even more so in the composite which we will cover another day. this aspect isn’t a deal breaker rather it’s an omen of change. this aspect in synastry can feel like a sad song, or a miserable night that’s omitted because the one you love more than anything is there to take all the sorrow away. these two are scapegoats for one another and this can be bad, but it’s also beautiful because these two are each others safe place. this aspect creates an inward escapist tendency where the two people naturally escape from life’s issues and go deeper into one another. this doesn’t sound awful I’m sure but the real issue lies in the fact that both parties are so emotionally intertwined that they can become so co-dependent and emotionally reliant on one another that they wont realize their unresolved issues are bogging them down like a weight without them realizing. we could talk about how lying is generalized in this placement by most people but this aspect doesn’t always show up as lying or un-satisfaction. the thing is these two are satisfied, almost to much because they don’t know how to handle issues alone when they’re together. everything in a sense becomes a joint project with these two, limiting them rather then aiding them. the Neptune person is focused on the moon person, observant and fixed often turning into a helicopter. the moon person is analytical, critical and emotionally unavailable from time to time based on their imagined hurts of the Neptune person possibly not being honest. the gag is Neptune is normally being truthful if the Neptune persons natal Neptune is in good form nataly. the moon person if having a naturally afflicted moon will be Extremely toxic if they don’t get a grip on their insecurities. that being said in two grown and mature people the worst this aspect denotes is co-dependency and unhealthy coping mechanisms with one another being the foundation. 

(Meg Myers - Sorry )

Moon Trine Or Sextile Neptune : Everything’s Perfect right?

This aspect is kind, nurturing and VERY healing to have in a relationship but it can also create a “life is perfect” mentality between two people that builds internal deceit. these two enjoy one another, deeply but something deep down is off or slightly unclear. this aspect can throw a veil over other harsh aspects in the chart rather than aid them and this exuberates the problem. Neptune is happy and content with the physical and emotional connection they have with the moon person, often feeling a telepathic bond. the moon person soaks the vibrations of the Neptune person often feeling heavily understood and deeply looked after. they are complex and even more so the longer the relationship continues. that being said these two move mountains for one another, readily sacrificing and giving everything they can just to be the best for one another. the desire to show up for one another and cross the bridges and the many pillars for one another is a hugely apparent quality here. The trine is more sexually oriented as the two feel a need to express their intimacy but the sextile is more emotional based but both rely heavily on the connection the two share. 

(Meg Myers - The Death Of Me)

Moon Conjunct Neptune : Nothing makes sense 

This aspect in synastry is far more intense and more possessive than it’s counterparts. the two natives live in a fantasy and can easily blur all the lines around them. the relationship can seem great and then suddenly knocked over b an emotional frequency. these two are almost fated and the connection can easily feel like a twin flame bond or even soul mates. the Neptune person is intense, deep and provocative. the moon person is drawn to Neptune’s darkness and often opens like a black treasure chest in the bottom of the sea just for Neptune. this connection is erotic and tense and can feel almost like a divine union. these two are dangerous together and have that dark tinge to the relationship that makes Pluto look like a toddler. they tend to be understanding and forgiving of one another like with all Neptune/moon aspects but they lack objectivity and are horrid on building solid healthy behavior in dealing with one another. Neptune can over indulge the moon person whilst the moon person can be to overwhelming for the Neptune person. the passion and depth is actually scary and a bit dramatic in this partnership because both parties want every aspect of one another, nothing off limits. these two will feel like death is dancing in their partnership and even more so they’ll feel overwhelmed by the irritable and insatiable level of their feelings for one another. they never know when enough is enough and that’s the scariest aspect of this partnership. 

( Meg Myers - Motel ) 

Moon Opposite Pluto : The inescapable feeling of needing

This aspect can be a living hell for non plutonian types and even harder for fixed types. This aspect produces an almost feverish attraction between two people that primal and animalistic in it’s nature. it’s a deep love yet it’s also the inability to pace themselves, the inability to rationalize the desire they feel for one another, to pull away from it. jealousy, possession, excitement, sadness, compassion, happiness and all fly like electricity and fire. these two don’t play mind games but they do have this underlining wave of tension and emotional heaviness. Pluto often is drawn to the moon person but they withhold much of their own intensity as to not scare off the moon, ironically the roles are reversed here. the moon person holds the more intense and obsessive candle but much like Pluto it’s masked behind a seemingly unbothered expression. In reality the desire, the passion and the lust has the moon person mentally a wreck, running threw billions of scenarios on how to get that word in, that touch, that intimacy from Pluto. Pluto out of respect for mon tries to be modest and unassuming  but deep down their darkest and most irrational actions and desires acted out subconsciously are a reflection of their deep desire for true intense  intimacy with the moon person. These two are likely playing the hot and cold game as to not allude to one another their real feelings but the funny thing about this particular aspect in synastry is that once these two have sex. all the hiding, and guarded behavior fly’s out the window. these two start mirroring one another’s darker behavior and the liaison itself gets far more menacing and heavy as both recognize how deep and serious their feelings for one another really are and find safety in the crazy expressions of this. in lesbian relationships this can seem like a Lilith and eve combo, in homosexual relationships involving men this can ironically play out like Persephone and Hades, in straight relations this can play out like god and the devil. the oscillation between sweet and innocent to sultry and dammed is what makes this such a psychological interaction as both people are not only fucking each other emotionally but they’re fucking the deepest and most unprotected side of one another. A very intimidating couple.

(Purity Ring - Dust Hymn) 

Moon Square Pluto : All these mangled bones

This can be a dangerous aspect to have in synastry especially if these two happen to have a high concentration of Pluto on their own. This aspect can often appear in cases where two powerful people both emotionally and spiritually come together. The moon person is often tense, but erotically drawn to Pluto. they want Pluto but also find Pluto to be overbearing and slightly unpredictable in terms of their emotions. Pluto is often driven to have the moon person, but in many ways this can be done through manipulation or violence depending on the nature of the Pluto person. Pluto often experiences a see-saw effect with their feelings making it very hard for them to tame the intensity of their feelings when dealing with the moon person. the moon person is often the more rational POV in the pairing and manages to counter the Pluto persons attempts at control. That being said these two are close, intense and deeply sown together by needle and thread. albeit this pairing can be hard earned, it is often something that flourishes into a lovely and passionate relationship. the main issue to be had here with this aspect is the fact that the two people need to learn to temper their feelings otherwise they run the risk of a violent storm. Moon is often good at playing the victim or the distraught to lure in Pluto, while Pluto is constantly feeding their demons. The connection is REAL and very spiritual In it’ s backing, feeling almost like karma, and fate tied in one. everything that happens here was destined and every pit fall was necessary. These aspect will transform both people in a very drastic way and in many cases these two might never ever be able to part. 

(Massive Attack - Live With Me)

Moon Sextile Or Trine Pluto : A state of unsettlement

This aspect is characterized by the same dark buzz as it’s predecessors, though in a lighter context. The intimacy can be instantaneous with this aspect and is part of the reason for the plethora of fast bonding that takes place in relationships in this generation with the Pluto in Sagittarius generation. the more untucked and hidden away sides of oneself feels more comfortable being visible in the eyes of the other. The Moon person is VERY nurturing to the Pluto person often preferring to ensure that Pluto is in high spirits or even going as far as soaking up Pluto’s sadness. The Pluto person is deeply protective of the moon person often going out of their way to create safe spaces for the moon person or taking on the Moons persons more wounded self in stride and maturely. the two naturally compliment one another and in a romantic relationship the depth of the bonding and connections can make these two fast to learn one another on a personal and almost familial level. There is a powerful emotional resilience as a couple that this aspect brings that softens quite a bit of the more harsher aspects that may rear their head in syanstry. These two are understanding and deeply compassionate towards one another very easily placing themselves in one another’s shoes which further deepens their intimacy. these two usually spend much time at home with one another or preferring the company of a comfortable and quiet space as opposed to loud outside gatherings. A very strong marriage indicator.

(Alexandra Savior - Shades)

Moon Conjunct Pluto : To Be seen In color 

This aspect is deceptively steady. It isn’t as rocky as the harsher aspects and it also isn’t as light and warm as the easier aspects, it’s more of a neutral grey area full of earthy passion. This aspect is slow building and often involves two very serious people, with two very deep desires of intimacy. The Pluto person is very tolerant of the moon person, they see threw the moon and can often gauge the emotional state of their lover easily without words. the Pluto person is often the more grounded and protective lot and prefers to have the moon to themselves but also is comfortable enough to mind their own business when the moon person is out and about doing their own thing. The moon person is Very close to the Pluto person, usually very affectionate and even more responsive with Pluto then they are with most people. this will be one of those relationships where these two seem mean or disinterested when they are around everyone else but then seem to light up the moment they see one another. Pluto can be very productive in the relationship usually pushing the moon person to be there best while giving them the backbone/support system necessary to follow through. the Moon person usually gives emotional compassion and support to Pluto when ever things get rocky. these two are one another’s rock. The sex is often primal, and unlike the harsher aspects which usually include sex of a more raw and lustful nature or the lighter aspects which is sex of a more lovey and passionate nature the conjunction is “lovemaking” and in many ways these two tend to be deeply affected by the sex they do have with each other in a way that serves to deepen the bond rather than create more problems. Obsession can be a problem here as the two get so used to one another that they can become addicts of “feeling” wanting to constantly be around one another, though this is a danger with all moon and Pluto aspects it is especially so here.

(Ex : Re New York )

Moon Opposite or Conjunct Lilith : A painful Memoir 

This aspect can often create a darker expression of intimacy between two people, that can seem like a shadow chasing a light. The Moon person is often the moth to the flame, drawn to the Lilith person like some drunkard. They desire the Lilith person but also fear them in a almost panicked and instinctual way. The Lilith person is powerful and emotionally intense, at times to much for the more sensitive moon person. The moon is often caring and deep with the Lilith person, developing an almost dark obsession and raw lust for Lilith. The moon person sees Lilith as some dark force, some emotional well of passion and fury and one they want to dive into. The Lilith feels this desire and reflects it in the way they exude their presence, they play a game of seducing the moon person. They want the moon but are often to prideful to let this show. they can be extremely loyal to the moon person though and they do really adore the intimacy and sensitivity of the moon person but they also have this dark desire to taint the moon person, to make the moon disregard their more cautious nature and dive into the dark with them. This can be a painful, erotic and dangerous liaison as the sex is often addicting, it’s the highest feminine vibrations of two people on two sides of a spectrum colliding.

(Ex Re : Crushing )

Moon Sextile Or Trine Lilith : Spans In a lesson

Their is a sense of urgency with this aspect, as if the two people need to have one another. The Moon person is often the one captivated by the Lilith person and Lilith is more readily obsessed by the moon person. These two can have some volatile feelings and to those that know them they may feel as though the other person brings out something uncharacterized in their personality. the thing is any darker traits brought out between these two was already there. the Moon is often sultry, waning and allured to the Lilith Person and the Lilith person is insatiable, hungry and captive by the moon. these two are powerful together but also deeply complex in their inner workings with one another. Nothing is ever as it seems with this aspect and these two are constantly investigating the deeper emotional layers of one another further deepening the chaotic game they play with one another. passion is HOT to the touch with this aspect but it can also boil to hot for some.

(Ex Re : I can’t Keep you ) 

Moon Square Lilith : And sometimes I find you Mesmerizing 

This is a couple that can have an Off and On quality to their attraction. The moon Person is deeply in ether for the Lilith person but also feels like the Lilith person is dangerous in some way to their emotional well being, in some cases this is an imagined threat while in others it’s real as the Lilith person does strike at a very deep lace in the Moon person emotional trauma and roots. The Lilith person is passionate for the Moon person but places defenses due to the rather wishy washy nature of the moon person. the two play a game of watching the other which often times creates an imaginary barrier on the two. This aspect is VERY intense and often times these two are both fearful of the energy that’s produced by their intimacy. The moon person is far more vulnerable of being left in shambles and the Lilith person is very likely to be deeply wounded on a profound level if the connection fails. these two are capable of forming a deep and long lasting bond but overtime through couples therapy and even just taking the time to communicate these two can overcome this heavy aspect. A very taboo aspect to this. 

(Sza - Julia )

Moon opposite Or Conjunct Juno : I’m In Love with you.

This aspect between two people can be a very significant one for both  people involved. The Juno in ones chart represents what someone’s ideal mate for life should and will be like and the moon is our core, our heart and emotional state so having ones moon in such tight aspects can usually be a strong marriage indicator. Juno person feels deeply content with the Moon person as their means of expressing their feelings and emotions is done in such a way that they’ve always wanted or desired. They can often feel naturally close to the Moon person and see them as a future prospect often adoring the means of which the juno person shows their more softer and intimate nature. The Moon person is fascinated by Juno and often finds themselves wanting to care for and protect Juno. they both deeply cherish one another and spend a great deal of time together, but it never feels stifled or overbearing. the two readily form a tight knit relationship and find it very easy to conveniently add one another to both of their lives. this aspect is very warm natured and cozy and full of endless understanding! although it’s not as strong as a full planet conjunction or opposition it still holds significant weight between two people and have a very sweet and loving energy.

( Sza - Ur)

Moon Sextile Or Trine Juno : You feel like The “one”

This is a very intimate! the Moon person is very tender with the Juno person, often reading their feelings and taking careful caution with how and when they choose to react in regards to Juno. The moon person rarely thinks of themselves here and tends to put Juno first mainly because they care so deeply and in such a sensitive way. The Juno person is very open, bubbly and affectionate with the moon person, often flying about like a small butterfly. The moon person makes the Juno person so secure and safe that they often feel as though they can express their beauty and body in a way that feels natural and free of judgment. These two are very physically friendly with one another and quite a bit of sensuality and touching are normally involved. They seem to lack the ability to keep their hands off one another, though this is not the case when they first meet as upon their first encounters it can seem like they both shy away from any outright intimacy. These two can never just be friends, and normally fall for one another. Another marriage aspect. 

(Sza - Warm Winds feat Isaiah Rashad )

Moon Square Juno : A complicated honeymoon 

These two are like magma and snow. They can want different things and be drastically different in terms of what and how they expect their attraction plays out but at the exact time they enjoy the differences. The Moon person finds Juno’s expression of intimacy, and romance slightly weird and a bit odd as it’s different to them and Juno finds the moons expression slightly overdone or a bit far out to them mentally. that being said this is how their honeymoon period goes, everything that follows after is passionate and intense. These two are so caught up in this whirlwind attraction that they end up throwing away any old concepts and themes of romance and desire they once previously had. This can deepen a connection between two people to such a level that many harsher aspects are glossed over. the reason being is that this one aspect creates an attraction based on differences on a fundamental level and it allows both parties to fall in love with those drastic differences. the connection is often very private and lucrative in it’s expression but the dependency and highly attuned emotional expression remains. these two will want to build together and the immensity of feeling gets more powerful as the time goes by, so often this aspect is one of the most prolific of the bunch.

How to Read a Synastry Chart

Upon first looking at a synastry chart, there may be an initial sense of confusion as to how to best interpret the intertwining planetary alignments from one person to another.

Essentially aspects between another persons planet shows the dynamics as to how one aspect of your personality interacts with another’s.

Reading a synastry chart applies the same method as reading a natal chart, however you must remember you are looking at one persons planet interacting with another, therefore each person playing a role in the expression of their planet in aspect.

Example: If Person A’s Moon was Trine Person B’s Venus, one person would be expressing their caring, vulnerable and hurting side, while the other person would be expressing their loving, appreciative and giving side.

The type of aspect will dictate how your personal expression of a part of your personality (ie. sign on a planet) interacts and is revived by another.

Conjunctions

Here two planetary energies express themselves in the same way (unless its an out of sign conjunction). Here there is a natural and mutual understanding of how each person expresses a part of their personality, though the planets involved and how each persons own planet is aspects in their own chart will dictate how well the nature of the conjunction plays out.

Trines

Here two planetary energies flow effortlessly together, and expressions of one another’s personality is received well due to the easy and mutual understanding. Each person will understand the other persons way of expressing and doing things, as well as provide a compatible variation on how they give to another, in a way they appreciate.

Sextiles

Sextiles provide much more excitement than Trines, as the modality and element is different, however, the elemental compatibility provides a contrast in which stimulates the other. In affect, they almost act like easy squares by where the friction builds on the other, however the energy is much more friendly and playful. Sextiles in synastry can challenge the partner to expand on a part of their own personality and find a way to engage that part of them more in themselves and in the relationship.

Squares

Squares are INCREDIBLY common in synastry.

Why?

The nature of squares provide a challenge, a chance to improve and work hard to find a solution. The entire universal PURPOSE of relationships is to experience oneself through interaction with another, and square provide and opportunity to bring out parts of the personality that may lay dormant. This is how we learn what we want and what we don’t want in relationships.

Squares upon first interaction are highly magnetic, as the natural energetic friction causes a sense of challenge, creating a desire to experience a certain part of the self.

However it is true to say that square are not always the most pleasant aspect in synastry, as they draw on a sense of desire NOT compatibility - any relationship that contains squares will ultimately create a sense of growth, and its ones ability to resolve conflict or walk away with a sense of knowing who they are and what they want is what makes square an integral part to relationships.

Oppostions

Oppositions in synastry act quite differently than within the natal chart, as the sense of ‘internal spinning form one part of the personality to the other’ is manifested within two people in the relationship. Like the conjunction, oppositions can either be beneficial or detrimental depending on the planets involved, the condition of the individuals planet, and the maturity and ability to make a compromise between two people.

The opposition in synastry can provide an excellent contrast as to looking at ones ‘shadow side’, and often these two can compliment each other by having a similar perspective, though taking a different approach.

If not handled well, the contrast can be TOO different from one another, causing a sense of separation due to the sense of ‘foreign’ expression of another. If both people are mature, a compromise can be made, if not, there may be a natural need for separation as each others needs can not be met by the other.

Inconjunction/Quincunx

This is perhaps the most difficult aspect in synastry. The Inconjucntion acts much like an opposition, though with the opposition, the element and modality compatibly makes it possible to find a compromise by understand the others mutual perspective on things. With the inconjucntion, signs are aspected with incompatible elements and modalities, therefore having no common ground on the way they act. This often results in the inability to understand one another from there perspective. They may have to ‘take turns’ at expressing parts of their personality to one another, or when one acts, the other person fails to react. The inability to understand one another can cause a sense of disappointment as each persons efforts and expressions are not being recognised by the other.

The final part to reading a synastry chart will be understood by looking at the house area each persons planet falls into, making the birth time crucial to interpretation.

When a planet falls into another persons house, an aspect and energy of one person is being expressed in the life area of another. This creates a sense in the house person whereby they energetically sense a persons certain energy being expressed in a certain house, and the aspects will determine whether it will be positively or negatively received.

A planet falling into another’s house stimulates that area of life for them.

Example: A planet falling into someones 11th house will stimulate the feeling that this person will fulfil their need for friendship.

The planet person will also feel their personal energies being projected into that life area of the house person, but will ultimately be more focused on the way the other person makes THEM feel rather than where they are investing their personal energies into another.

This is why aspects are highly important in synastry, as there needs to be a mutable reception by both people in order for exchange of feelings.

Example: Person A’s Venus may fall into Person B’s 7th house. Person B may feel the Venus person can fulfil their relationship desires, however, Person A’s Venus is afflicted by other planets in synastry, and they in fact aren’t attracted to Person B at all - perhaps far from that.

It is incredibly important to NEVER single out one ‘positive’ aspect in synastry, especially as a need for personal validation. If the relationship is meant to be challenging or not to form at all, it will be so, therefore a high level of objectiveness is needed when reading your own synastry chart with your own love interest.

Problems can be resolved, and other times they can not, the aim of relationships is personal growth, and it’s always best to act for your own highest good and seek a relationship thats challenging AND fulfilling.

CALCULATING DOMINANT SIGNS

Ever wondered why everyone says they’re Aquarius dominant? That’s because most people use the calculator on astro.com to determine their dominants. Unfortunately, this isn’t the most accurate system because it weighs generational dominance (meaning outer planets) over personal dominance. So, pretty much everyone who has Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius thinks they’re Aquarius dominant.

But are they really most like the sign of Aquarius? Chances are, no. They won’t really relate to Aquarius if they do not have any personal Aquarius or 11th house planets. Their entire generation will. But “Aqua dom” is practically in everyone’s tumblr bio as if it is a personal thing.

I think personal planets should be taken into account a lot more when determining dominants. That’s why I created this system here - in hopes of calculating dominants realistically so everyone can relate to them more - and so dominants can more accurately depict your personality!

DIRECTIONS: For each sign, read through each statement and determine whether or not you have that placement in your chart. If you do, add the number of points listed for that placement. Consider each sign a “category”. Add up the number of points for each placement in Aries, each placement in Taurus, etc. until you have a total for each category. Compare your totals in each category and determine the 3-4 highest numbers. These are your dominants, in order from highest to lowest. 

SIGN CUSPS DO NOT COUNT. See my post about cusps in astrology here. However, if a planet is about 1-2 degrees away from or “on the cusp” of a house, it is considered to be in that next house over (i.e. Saturn in the 6th house less than 2 degrees away from the 7th house would be interpreted in the 7th house).

*DISCLAIMER* This is my personal idea of how dominants should be calculated so to better represent personal planets, and I realize that it is not the traditional way to calculate them.

Venus overlays in synastry

Venus in partner’s 1st House

Very fast attraction. The House person has the qualities the Venus person likes, whether it’s the apperance, manners or style(how they generally present themselves). It’s the placement for “love at first sight”.

Venus in partner’s 2nd House

A need to be physical, a lot of touching between these two. The Venus person brings out the House person’s possessive side. The Venus person is something the House person wants to have(could be  avery superficial placement, the house person might treat Venus like an object). They buy eachother a lot of gifts.

Venus in partner’s 3rd House:

The house person will be very verbally sweet to the Venus person. The Venus will inspire them to be kinder in their words, more lovely and could even help them start writing/express their creative side through talking. Love letters, messages that make the other smile throughout the day.

Venus in partner’s 4th House:

Venus reminds them of home. A very family-oriented placement. The Venus partner has the kind of love the house person needs in order to feel nurtured, comforted. Venus too finds the House person very caring and protective. The type of relationship to prefer at home dates.

Venus in partner’s 5th House

A very exciting and full of pleasure kind of love. The house person views the Venus as someone they would need in order to satisfy their need for play/fun. Venus will be attracted to the 5th House’s creativity and artistry. This relationship either doesn’t last long or never loses its “spark”. 

Venus in partner’s 6th House

Venus brings beauty and pleasure into the House person’s daily life. They could make little gestures that would “make their day”, their presence adds harmony. A very “giving” type of love, they will always be by the other’s side and support eachother.

Venus in partner’s 7th House

Dependency, a strong need to please the other, adjust their love in the way the other person wants them to. The couple that’s always together, always calls the other to tell them what they’re up to. A real “marriage” placement, because of how willing both parties are to always work things out. 

Venus in partner’s 8th House

Very secretive and sexual. In this relationship sex and intimacy is a big factor.There could be possessiveness, jealousy and obsession with the partner(especially coming from the House person’s side). The Venus person is attracted to the house person’s dark side and mystery.  

Venus in partner’s 9th House

Their love could’ve started spontaneously or they might’ve met while on vacation. The House person’s adventurous and curious side is brought out in this relationship by the venus person.This love could be a lesson/growth experience. 

Venus in partner’s 10th House

The House person sees Venus as someone they’re proud to have and show off. This could also be a very superficial placement, because the House person could use Venus’s love in order to benefit in some way. Nonetheless it’s great for having a future together.

Venus in partner’s 11th House

Could’ve met through friends or in some type of group. It might’ve started as a friendship. Not the most showy relationship, they could be mistaken for friends.Their dates could be very casual, even with other people around them. Very easygoing for both parties.

Venus in partner’s 12th House

Possibly a very private relationship, closed off from other people, secretive. There is a “healing” between them, Venus loves the House person’s sensitivity, hidden side and that’s what connects them the most. The House person opens up fast and this relationship could be beneficial to them, because they feel that someone finally loves the side which they themselves don’t fully understand or love.

Anonymous asked:

how can someone protect themselves against curses?

Not all witches are created equal.

Hierarchy is dictated by three things: bloodline, moment of birth, and will.

Bloodline matters because we can inherit the powers of our ancestors. And the sky when we were born reveals whether we are endowed with our own gods-given powers. But the advantage that lineage and birth give can go to waste, without the focus with which to wield it. Hence, will.

Why am I saying any of this?

Because it does not matter what potion you imbibe, or what spell you chant. If the witch who cursed you is more powerful than you, the curse will take effect.

But if you think you have not made any such powerful enemies, and you only wish to deflect witches who are of weaker caliber than you or whose powers are on the same level as yours, then procure:

1) An evil eye ring made of metal, not plastic. It must be white and dark blue, not turquoise or mint green.

2) A piece of handmade natural paper, that is, anything made from plant, such as papyrus and banana, and uncoated by chemicals like polymers.

3) A pen owned by your birth mother or father. Whether the owner is dead or alive, ask for permission.

On the first night of the next full moon…

1) Open the windows to gaze upon the moon while taking four deep breaths.

2) Stay by the window, and write on your paper with your marker:

PORTO HAMASIAS F EMANUEL F DORENUS

3) Wrap the evil eye ring with the piece of paper.

4) Close the windows, but leave the wrapped ring by the window sill where the moonlight can reach it.

By sunrise, you will have created a talisman that will protect you from curses.

5) Wear the ring, and keep the paper in a safe place. Return the pen to its owner.

As long as the ring is on your finger or touching any part your skin, you are shielded from bewitchment.

Never let it get wet. Do not bathe or swim with it. Water drains its power.

For a talisman to keep working, it needs to be fed. Every full moon, wrap the ring in the same paper you used when you forged it. Leave it overnight by the window sill where the moon can shine on it, as you did when you created it.

Your ring can protect any soul to whom you willingly lend or give it. But if anyone uses it for protection without your permission, it will release onto them any curses it had previously absorbed and deactivated.

Hi Diana, I hope you are well. Tomorrow it’s my 18th birthday and I was wondering if there is something special I can tomorrow (since it’s a special date) a ritual, spell, anything. I’m hoping you can help me out, appreciate it ❤️

BIRTHDAY WISHES RITUAL

Which of your wishes will come true?

Perform this any time in the 24 hours of your birthday. If you were born on February 14th at 2:00 AM, ensure you finish it by February 15th at 1:59 AM.

STEP 1: Acquire five candles.

  • Red for love and romance
  • Pink for beauty and elegance
  • White for joy and gladness
  • Green for money and prosperity
  • Yellow for health and vitality

STEP 2: Prepare your bed.

Place the candles on your headboard shelf. If you do not have one, put your nightstand behind your bed. The candles have to hover over your head.

STEP 3: Light the candles.

If what the pink candle represents is what matters most to you, light it first. If the white candle comes second, light that afterwards. Always use the wick of the previous candle to light the next. Do all this as you sit on your bed.

STEP 4: Speak your desires.

Voice out your wishes one by one, in the same order that you lit the candles. 

  • Pink: “May I bloom this year into the prettiest I can be.”
  • White: “May sadness finally leave my soul in my 18th year.”
  • Red: “May love at last find me in these 12 months ahead.”

Let every wish be short enough that you can say it in one breath.

STEP 5: Sleep for three hours.

To close your eyes is to open your soul. Let the powers that be which are around you now, look into the depths of your being and gaze upon your fate. So that they may decide which of your wishes can be granted and which are simply not meant to be.

STEP 6: Watch the lights.

Once three hours have passed, sit up on your bed and look at the candles above your head.

  • The one whose light burns the highest is that which is pledged to come true.
  • The one whose light is dancing the merriest is already on its way to you.
  • Any candles whose light is remarkably still, are wishes that are not up to the divine but up to you.
  • The shortest candle, the one that burned the fastest, is the wish that cannot this year be granted.
  • Any candles whose lights burned out cannot be granted not just this year but for the foreseeable future ahead.

STEP 7: Blow out the candles.

After you commit to mind the given information, thank the powers that be for the revelation.

Never use the candles again for another ritual. But you may use them for purposes that are mundane or banal.

NATAL PLANETS IN RETROGRADE ✨✨💫

A retrograde is defined as when a planet is rotating in the opposite direction that it is normally rotating in. And sometimes, at the time of our birth, there are one or more planets that are in retrograde, therefore influencing our natal chart. Anything planet that is in retrograde in our natal chart internalizes the influence of that planet, and makes the qualities of that planet something that can be felt clearly on the inside but something that isn’t able to be expressed on the outside.

✨THE SUN AND THE MOON DO NOT GO INTO RETROGRADE✨

NATAL MERCURY IN RETROGRADE

The mind becomes an extension of the subconscious instead of a form of outer expression. Words are internalized and will bloom inside, they will take root within your brain and will rarely be shown the light of day. (And I don’t mean shallow conversation, I mean the deeper, more private side of you and of your words). Words will flow freely in your mind but mean all the wrong things when they come out of your mouth. What you speak is not always what you think, and what you think is not always what you speak. Traditional public education may be difficult, as you are not always best equipped to express your mind in a strictly academic environment. Try expressing your mind through alternative means like art, music, and dance, something that allows for your mind to speak without words.

NATAL VENUS IN RETROGRADE

Your love and what you find beautiful is internalized. Your personal aesthetic or your personal style may be hard to come up with or hard to find,you may never be truly comfortable in the clothing that you wear. Your expression of love and affection is something that has to be forcibly pulled out from deep inside, and you may feel like love is something that you lack, or rather something that you do not show enough. Love and relationships will be a tender and deep part of your life for you, and something that you will constantly have to work through. You may feel like you could have always been more in a relationship. More loving. More tender. More comforting. More kind. More, more, and more, you will give all of yourself away and never realize that your love on its own is enough. You do not have to prove that you love someone/something. We all love in different and naturally complex ways. Take your time.

NATAL MARS IN RETROGRADE

There is an anger inside but something will prevent it from leaving your body and your mind. Those that are cruel to you will mistake your silence for weakness or indifference. Your anger is not a flame but it is an ocean, and many people will not recognize water as anger. Your passion is something that is sedated. And sometimes you will drown in the ocean that you have created, with the outer expression of anger and passion being just above the surface but being unable to escape. Because of the silencing of the warrior inside you have learned to avoid confrontation, arguments, competition, anything that requires you to express something that you often fear that you do not possess. And sometimes will you direct all of the anger that is not able to be expressed back onto yourself. You do not have to prove your anger. Your energy. Your drive. And during the course of your life, learn to not destroy yourself.

NATAL JUPITER IN RETROGRADE

Your philosophies and expansion will be on the inside. Your life will be one of constant and unyielding self expansion internally, with thoughts and ideas about life being yours and yours only. Your view on the world may be seen as different, as modern day religions and spiritual concepts are never are able to completely define the way that you feel about this earth on the inside. Society cannot “taint” your personal philosophies and preconceived ideas about life itself. With all of this self growth you may look at the rest of the world and wonder why others cannot simply grow too, why they seemingly cannot expand from who they used to be and involve into who they actually are. However, with all of this internalized growth your external growth may be stagnant. You may plan, start something new, throw away all of your progress, plan again, and the cycle continues. It may seem as if you have so many great ideas but they never come into fruition, that your ideas stay ideas and never become visible. Growth on the inside will not be as easy. Take time to projects and care for your ideas, it may take you longer to execute them but it does not mean that they are not worth it.

NATAL SATURN IN RETROGRADE

Saturn has barricaded you from yourself. Who you are and who you can be is often not felt, there will be a deep rooted fear that you will never live up to other’s expectations and that you will never be enough. You truly knows what it feels like to have restrictions harbored within yourself, to know what it feels like to go through life lesson after life lesson until you are unable to recognize yourself. You are uncertain in your abilities and who you will become later on. You may feel as if you are blocked off from doing things or achieving things that you want to achieve because of something holding you back deep within yourself. This is not a curse, it is only something that if accepted instead of rejected will allow you to grow. Saturn is the teacher and what you will have to learn is yourself. How to grow when everything that you are has been taken away. Who you are when no one else, not even yourself, is able to define you. What life lessons truly mean and how they help you grow.

NATAL URANUS IN RETROGRADE

I promise that you inner individuality is there. That your uniqueness is there. No human on this earth is like any other and you are no exception. You may not be able to see it on the outside but is definitely within, your ideas and personal revolutions challenge society itself. And sometimes, many times, society will fail to reflect how you feel the world should be inside. And sometimes, many times, you’ll feel helpless and as if you’re unable to change that. Your ideas may just be your own but it does not mean that they are small. It does not mean that they are unable to be shown. Expressing your view on the world may be difficult, yes, explaining how you think society should change may be difficult, yes, but as long as you are promoting a positive change what is the harm in trying? Promoting something positive is not harmful to anyone, not even yourself. Pursue the personal growth and change that you desire. Inspire others to do the same. Remember to be kind. With time you and your ideals will thrive.

NATAL NEPTUNE IN RETROGRADE

Neptune has made who you are and what life is an illusion to even yourself, inside there is a dense fog that does not allow you to see who you really are. Your feelings may muffle what is actually happening, like personal sadness overcasting beautiful moments. And your mind will always be a mind that wanders. Daydreams, fantasies, things that you find beautiful, they swirl around inside and become apart of who you are. And at this point you will have to distinguish between yourself and a dream. Your heart and a mirage. Your mind and enchantment. Life is not always as kind as you may make it out to be. People are not always as soft as you see them as. Some experiences cannot be romanticized. And you have to accept that there is a both a real version of the world and a real version of yourself. Something raw, something unmistakably unkind. The world is not as it seems, people are not as they seem, and you are not as you seem to yourself. Be careful to not let everything that is genuine and true be masked by something that is not reality.

NATAL PLUTO IN RETROGRADE

Your subconscious is one that is promised to go through constant and ruthless transformations. This may produce, an internal inspiration, a glow, that you will be unable to express to the world for many years. You are the ones that will stand out in your generation, that ones that will become famous or infamous, the ones that in time will radiate from deep inside. But before this all comes to light there will be a repeated process of destruction and rebuilding, of death and rebirth. The cycle will continue until Pluto is certain that you have created a version of yourself that is able to grow, that you are enough and strong enough to stand on your own. Do not destroy versions of yourself that are radiant. In the end you will only be harming yourself. If you feel provoked to heal and transform another, act on that feeling because it is something that you possess. Heal others with the constant deaths that you have given yourself, help them rise again with the experience of all of your rebirths. There will be an inner depth that is deeper than any ocean and you will come to learn how you can permanently exist within yourself.

i don’t even know what language i should use to express this properly

when we started chatting there was something in you that attracted me, i didn’t even know what that was, i just knew it kind of commanded me to stay with you. a voice in my head told me “yeah, it’s him, stick to him, he’s good, he’ll be good for us”, and so i did.

what we two had is undeniably the best thing i’ve felt to this point in my life.

i had no idea love was so powerful, capable of making you fly and making you feel like you need nothing but those seconds when you kiss the one you love, when everything goes dark and the only things you can feel are you heart beating so fast, the lips of that person and safety, like you two are the last people on earth and all the shit you two are going through doesn’t matter at all. but love also has the power to put you on your knees with tears running down your face and your broken voice begging to make that awful feeling stop. you feel how your heart is being torn apart and your soul is being ripped ruthlessly while you wonder what the fuck you did wrong to deserve it. you find yourself wondering what goes through the mind of that person you trusted, loved and took care of, how can someone who swore love to you become such a dick in a matter of weeks? you feel forgotten, hurt, used, and then another girl comes by and you see how your place and more of what was once yours becomes hers, and you can’t do anything but hope that that girl won’t suffer as much as you did.

everywhere you go reminds you of that lovely time you had together, when things were flooded by the smoke of love and therefore you couldn’t see anything clearly, but now it has rained so much all the smoke is gone and for the first time in a while, you can see clearly.

🌙🔮 witchy music 🎶🌿

I’m always searching for music that ignites and feeds my magickal energy, so here are a few of my very favorite artists that influence my practice. I hope one inspires you 

SEVDALIZA (a Virgo)

Like a divine author equipped with the forces of nature, she writes new laws of physics, crafting a universe in her music that exists purely to express her mind. Listen to her and your body will feel a little heavy, mind a little slower, and there will be a bloom of unity between physical sight and the inner eye. (Grounding & personal power, cursing, protection, cleansing) 

Listen to: Human, That Other Girl, Sirens of the Caspian, Clear Air

BANKS (a Gemini)

I listen to Banks at night. She captures that gloomy, dark, almost erotic feeling of camping alone or skinny dipping under a full moon. Her smokey voice makes me think of dark forests and nocturnal animals, rum and lighting cigarettes from embers. She makes me creative, like illustrating my grimoire or arranging my altar. (Moon magick, love & sex work, past life regression, potions)

Listen to: Mother Earth, Goddess, Gemini Feed, Weaker Girl, Poltergeist, Fuck With Myself

Liraz (a Gemini)

Liraz has an energy that flies into your heart and creates wings. Her voice is the voice of a river goddess who travels to villages during summer festivals and nourishes them. I hear her and I feel like I can conquer the treacherous deserts of life or simply wish them into an oasis. When I’m trying to manifest my goals, I can borrow her confidence and sharpness to get my work done. (Manifesting, self-love, full moons, kabbalah)

Listen to: Age Ya Rooz, Love Me Like You Do, Nozi Nozi, Zendegi, Ameneh

Bon Iver  (a Taurus)

I think everyone who listens to Bon Iver would agree that the best word to describe Justin Vernon’s style is “ethereal.” He has had a lot of influence on artists like Kanye, too. When I listen to Bon Iver, I feel my mind being exercised into finding patterns and meaning where I would otherwise look passed them. (Divination, healing, numbers, sacred geometry & sigils, crystals)

Listen to: 715 CR∑∑KS, Moon Water, Holocene, 666, Heavenly Father, Blood Bank

FKA twigs (a Capricorn)

Her moon is in Sagittarius and her music makes that so obvious. It’s a journey with her, an adventure of twists and surprising pitches and beats that are difficult to identify. She is a master creator of a painted almost royal world. Like a candle or sand falling through my hands, she’s as familiar as she entrancing; a reality slightly altered. (Astral projection, dream work, tarot cards, astrology)

Listen to: Water Me, Pendulum, Video Girl

Advanced Circle Casting

Many of us are familiar with the magic circle, which goes by many names; witch-ring, compass round, witch’s circle, and so on. If I asked a hundred people what the purpose of the magic circle is, I’d bet most people would say either “protection” or “so your energy doesn’t escape during a spell.” I would like to talk about another vital function that the circle serves; that of gathering power, and acting as a gateway or portal to the spirit world.

Let’s start at the beginning; how to actually cast a good circle. On my laziest days I point my wand around me in a circle and say words that surmount to “let the circle be cast.” But most of the traditional resources I have found use elaborate circle-casting (or circle conjuring), and almost all elaborate circle casting I see calls on spirits. I think this points to a greater purpose of the circle; it’s not a simple wall of protection, but rather a spirit-space created so that a witch can commune with otherworldly powers.

Anyway, from the sources I have seen there are (blank) general steps to casting a circle, which I agree with.

  • Blessing the circle-marker be this water, salt, flour, or cord, or any other implement.
  • Cleansing the space within the circle, most often using blessed water, salt, and fire and/or incense.
  • Marking out the circle using the blessed objects from step one.
  • Walking clockwise or counter-clockwise around the circle with holy items, such as the ritual knife, wand, or stang; holy water, incense, flame, or any other objects specially chosen for the job. The circle is often circumambulated multiple times with different objects, while chants are repeated a certain number of times. For example, first you would tread the circle with your holy water and asperge the borders, repeating a chant about cleansing water. Then you would do the same with incense, and your chat about cleansing incense. Then you would walk with the stand or wand, and repeat your chant about the circle being raised.
  • Calling powers to the circle; most often the cardinal directions, but also including familiar spirits, gods, powers that be, and the powers you wish to work with during the spell. Protectors to the circle can also be called, to stand outside and keep guard.
  • Finally, the spell work or communion can begin.

This does seem like an awful lot of work for a simple protective circle, especially when many of us raise shields we rely on with just a little meditation and visualization. Looking back on the steps, there is also a very high importance placed on all ingredients and tools being cleansed, the circle being totally freed of all unwanted influence, and connections made with spirits. If you work with deities, all this work can be done in the name of your chief god; otherwise the work can be done under the cleansing influence of the elements or another power.

Such a circle “gathers” power because powers are called to it. I have not seen yet a “traditional” circle that did not involve calling powers, spirits, or virtues (or more likely, all of them) to the table before the magic is cast. Which leads to another topic of discussion – if traditional witches have their own power, why the need for all these spirits? But that is a topic for another time.

My argument that the circle is a gateway to the spirit world is based on UPG; I have found it to be a portal to the spirit world, and so have many others before me. What you speak in a circle is highly magical. Powers you have called will listen, and if they like you, they will help you (perhaps in exchange for a few gifts).

If you are used to casting a more simple circle, I encourage you to try a more complex one. The power, to me, is tangible and the difference is plain to see.

If there is any interest I can post the steps to casting a full “traditional” circle.

Beginner Witch Tips

Read. Before you even think about practicing magick, you need to study. It sounds tedious, I know, but witchcraft is not a trivial undertaking. 

Start a grimoire/Book of Shadows/Journal. You’ll need a safe place to keep all of the information you’ve gathered safe, and a grimoire (as I call mine), is essentially a notebook for that exact purpose. It doesn’t have to be fancy (though you’re welcome to make it as ostentatious as you like), – it can be a bullet journal if that’s easy for you. Within your grimoire, you should keep all gathered information, spells, failures, successes, records of work you’ve done, etc,. Anything that pertains to your craft.

Don’t put pressure on yourself to pick a path. You might see a lot of witches who class themselves as one thing or another, e.g., storm witches, kitchen witches, elemental witches, spirit/divination witches; green witches; cosmic witches, and so on.That is cool and their prerogative, but you will also see witches known as eclectic. Eclectic Witches, are simply witches who choose to practise many different types of magick and forge their own path, instead of following only one, or following a pre-established path. Basically, there is no need at all, whatsoever, to label yourself. With many of us, our paths found us in time. 

Research paths, secular witchcraft and religious witchcraft.Witchcraft alone, is a practice. However, some paths are indeed religious, such as Wicca. Make sure you know the difference before you begin actively practicing and before you decide on your path, if you do choose to do so.

Carry a little notebook on your person.You can’t always carry your grimoire with you, so I personally like to carry a tiny little notebook with me, for those moments when inspiration takes me, or if something captures my imagination or attention. You can add it to your grimoire/BoS later.

Oh, and one more thing: don’t ever stop learning and reading and recording. Witchcraft is a path of continuous learning.

Things to Research:

  • Crystals/gemstones/minerals
  • Herb and crystal correspondences, e.g., such as color and planetary.
  • Sabbats (also known as “Witches Sabbaths”) and esbats.
  • The basic tools of witchcraft.
  • Altars (if you’re so inclined).
  • Lunar phases.
  • Divination, e.g., tarot, runes, pendulums. 
  • Witchcraft and deities (if you’re so inclined).
  • Traditional witchcraft practises, such as circle casting.
  • SAFETY! What is safe to use/burn/touch/ingest. There are lots of poisonous and potentially fatal plants and ingredients out there.
  • Easy/budget magick/witchcraft.
  • The history of witchcraft, including lore, myths and tales.
  • The importance and use of the elements in magick
  • Research cultural witchcraft. Make sure that your practice does not steal from closed cultures. 

Easy Practices for New Witches:

  • Groundinggrounding is the act of centering your energy and focusing it within yourself. You can ground yourself by being out in nature and using visualising techniques that tie your energies firmly into the ground (very traditional method), or by finding a quiet place that you are content in and meditating.
  • Meditation.
  • Visualisation/visualising.
  • Sigil crafting/creation.
  • Dream interpretation.
  • Charging jewellery/crystals/objects/sigils.
  • Using glamours in makeup/cosmetics/everyday wear.

Planet Retrogrades 101

What is retrograde in Astrology?  A retrograde (or an rx) occurs when a planet appears to be moving in a different direction than its normal course. The planet itself does not actually change its pattern or direction, though. It only looks this way; it’s an optical illusion.  How does this affect us? When a planet appears to be moving backwards, we interpret this as the planet going inward or moving back through its experiences. For us, this can mean when a planet is in retrograde, it is time for us to slow down, back up, and spend time reflecting on our choices and our circumstances relating to what the retrograde planet represents. This can often lead to things from the past being brought into the present, causing us to face our estranged friends and ex lovers, as well as our mistakes, achievements, memories, and life choices. In Mercury’s case, we can experience issues in communication, technology, and travel because we are being called to stand still and relax, in Venus, relationship issues can occur if you have been involving yourself with the wrong people and have been denying this, and so on. Though we are called to reflect, we must refrain from actually living in the past. This is where problems can arise when a retrograde is happening, especially if it is in Mercury because we will feel the need to communicate with people from our past. What if I have planets in retrograde in my natal chart? How will a transit retrograde affect me? The same interpretation applies. The retrograde planet’s energies are turned inward. Your particular retrograde planets will be intensely felt but you will have difficulty expressing your planet’s natural energies and the traits of the sign it occupies. This can manifest as introversion, shyness, awkwardness, delays, or denial in the individual with the planet retrograde.
