What Moon PHASE have you Progressed into? What does it Mean for You?

We go thru phases as we develop who we are (quite literally).

First I shall teach you how to determine which Secondary Progressed phase you are in right now, then I interpret each phase! Find the setting on astro.com or astrotheme.com where you can pull up your Secondary Progressed Chart, OR you can calculate it by adding how old you are as days to your birthday. For example, if you are 25 years old, and you were born on June 1st, 1991, then your Secondary Progressed birthday would be June 26th, 1991. Enter that new birthday and determine what phase you’re in!

If you do not have a handle on the terminology that astrologers use and geometrical angles, this topic will be very hard for you. If you want help learning the angles and terminology, message me for lessons! AcaiPsyche.tumblr.com

In your Secondary Progressed Chart, if the sun and moon are the same sign, you’re in the new moon phase.

If the moon is one or two signs after the sun, that’s a waxing crescent phase.

If the moon is three signs after the sun, that’s a waxing half moon, they are in the same mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable).

If the moon is four or five signs after the sun, that’s a waxing gibbous phase. This would be a trine or quincunx if the orb is tight enough, each which will happen for a few intense months during this phase of about five years.

If the moon is opposite the sun, that’s a full moon. A 180 degree angle.

If the moon is five signs before the sun, that’s a waning gibbous moon. This would be a 150 degree angle between signs. It will be especially intense when the sun and moon make a partile quincunx for a few months during this phase.

If the moon is four signs before the sun, that’s a disseminating moon phase. This would be a 120 degree angle.

If the moon is three signs before the sun sign, that’s a last quarter phase, this would be a 90 degree angle.

If the moon is one or two signs before the sun sign, that’s a balsamic phase.

It is imperative that you grasp the major aspects in order to understand this.

Secondary Progressed New Moon: You are reinventing yourself at this point in life! It is time for you to view life and the world with a fresh perspective! Start a new hobby. Now is a great time to start a business or move to a new place. Leave behind what has kept you stuck in previous years.

Secondary Progressed Waxing Crescent Phase: You are cultivating what you have started, building upon what you already know. You are sowing the seeds that you will reap later on, so be mindful about whether the choices you are making at this point in life will provide for a comfortable situation that you will be dealing with in the future. You are tempted to go for the gusto right now, but years from now when you’re in the waning phases, you won’t feel as full of hope as you do during this phase of your life.

Secondary Progressed First Quarter Phase (Waxing Half Moon): There is tension in you as you are persistently working on what you started and tackling the conflicts that are coming up because you are currently realizing what works and what doesn’t. If in a cardinal sign, you are finding the power within you, leading or guiding other people. If in a fixed sign, you are resisting obstacles that get in the way of what you want, acting determined. If in a mutable sign, you are learning to adapt to what your clients, bosses, and family members need/want from you.

Secondary Progressed Waxing Gibbous Phase: You are at a climax in your life, feeling like you are almost there in obtaining your goals. The stakes are high and it is up to you to prove yourself. This phase lasts about five years as it contains the moon sign that is trine the progressed sun AND also the sign that is quincunx the progressed sun. In layman’s terms, life feels free flowing for the years that the progressed sun and moon are in the same element, before there is even more conflict for the next couple years after that! This entire five year period is an incredibly creative time for you! Even if your pursuits aren’t creative in nature, you are making great progress and learning to excel at what matters to you!

Secondary Progressed Full Moon Phase: You’ve reached that point that you have culminated your abilities, or you at least feel that you have completed something in your life. Your desires will come to fruition at this time, and if they do not, it means that you need to learn a lesson, to be more honest with yourself about what is truly best for you. At this point in life you are realizing that what you thought you wanted isn’t all that it was cracked up to be. You feel an internal uncertainty, as there is a tug of war between your ego and your emotions, for example your desire to socialize (if progressed moon is in Libra) may get in the way of your need to move forward and be self-sufficient (if progressed sun is in Aries). You are probably getting a lot of attention at this point of your life, as the moon shines so bright! If you did not make wise moves while you were in the waxing phases, the carpet is being pulled from under your feet right now.

Secondary Progressed Waning Gibbous Phase: Once again you are realizing what went wrong before, and now is your chance to make adjustments. If you do not take an honest look at your own flaws now, the universe will continue to give you problems that make you feel disheartened. Pluto has this way of giving us life circumstances that reflect our inner world, that’s another post entirely but it is a metaphor to what is happening here. The same problems will keep coming up if you don’t face what is inside you. I can give you a clear insight to what the universe wants you to realize if you get a reading with me!

Secondary Progressed Disseminating Moon Phase: If you have made those adjustments and gained the wisdom the universe attempted to bring to you before, things will be flowing more smoothly for you at this point in life. Your progressed moon and progressed sun are in the same element during this phase, so you are finding harmony within yourself, your life is coming together! If you did not face your flaws during previous phases, then the upcoming phases will lead you to feeling even more discouragement.

Secondary progressed Last Quarter Phase (Waning Half Moon): Now is your last chance to improve upon what you have been avoiding, and you will experience crisis as a reflection of your inner world. You are either reaching maturity or wondering why things aren’t happening as you want. If in a cardinal sign, you are finding the power within you, leading or guiding other people. If in a fixed sign, you are resisting obstacles that get in the way of what you want, acting determined. If in a mutable sign, you are learning to adapt to what your clients, bosses, and family members need/want from you.

Secondary Progressed Balsamic Phase (Waning Crescent): Something in your life is coming to a close. You are finding resolution, reflecting on your mistakes, and reminiscing about the good times. This lasts about five years as it contains the moon sign that is sextile the sun as well as the moon sign that is just before the sun. In other words, there are opportunities for you when the moon sign is sextile the progressed sun, and you will gain a spark of inspiration. When the progressed moon is 30 degrees before your progressed sun, your emotional self is clinging onto something that contradicts the goals of the sun. (For example, progressed moon in Sagittarius is tempted to do what’s fun and wish for more out of life, when you may need to embody your progressed sun in Capricorn that accepts things as they are and realizes that they need to get serious and commit themselves to practicality.)

I can write 15 pages of a reading for you! Contact me!

Writing a novel when you imagine all you stories in film format is hard because there’s really no written equivalent of “lens flare” or “slow motion montage backed by Gregorian choir”

You can get the same effect of a lens flare with close-detail descriptions, combined with breaks to new paragraphs.

Your slow-motion montage backed by a Gregorian choir can be done with a few technques that all involve repetition.

First is epizeuxis, the repeating of a word for emphasis.

Example:

Then there’s anaphora, where you write a number of phrases with the same words at the beginning.

This kind of repetition effectively slows the pace of your writing and puts the focus on that small scene. That’s where you get your slow pan. The same repetition also has a subtle musicality to it depending on the words you use. That’s where you get the same vibe as you might get from a Gregorian choir.

Damn I made relatable reblog- bait post and writer Tumblr went hard with it. This is legitimately very good advice. 

For more neat tricks (aka figures of rhetoric) like epizeuxis and anaphora, read THE ELEMENTS OF ELOQUENCE by Mark Forsyth. It’s both educational and delightful, not to mention overflowing with wry wit. Great book. 

12th House Placements and Backlash

Part of why people can be so hesitant to express their 12th House energy is that, in its most direct or purest form, it often attracts negative energy. On some conscious or subconscious level, we know that and can seriously fear it. These reactions are part of the whole "hidden enemy" thing with the 12th House, in that it's a part of you that people can judge, reject, criticize or project on without you understanding why. It should be stated that you're NOT doing anything wrong by expressing your 12th House. And since 12th House people are so sensitive, this can cause you to overinflate the negativity you do receive. You are still definitely loved and valued. However, if you want to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering (another 12th House concept), it's easier to find other ways to go about expressing it. This grants us that transcendence this part of the birth chart promises; a deliverance from confusion and sorrow to acceptance and peace.

SUN IN THE 12TH HOUSE

Those with a 12th House Sun get backlash for, unfortunately, just being themselves. It's like they breathe and people have something critical to say. For some, they may be way "too much" and, for others, they are seen as holding back or not giving enough. It feels as if the approval of others is only earned by jumping through rings of fire and even that may not be satisfactory. 12th House Sun people eventually learn to cope with this by creating some sort of persona to protect themselves, much more than the average person. VERY few people will get a glimpse at the "real them" behind the character they've created. As a result, these people are either super-private and shy or deceptively big personalities who others don't know nearly as well as they believe they do. Though this can be isolating, it can eventually allow them to understand the profound importance of real intimacy and how special it is to let that rare, deeply trusted person truly see you.

MOON IN THE 12TH HOUSE

12th House Moons rarely get the sympathy they truly deserve, especially from family and close friends, who may love them dearly but have a dysfunctional way of using this individual to more so meet their needs or cater to their feelings. Those with this placement can bottle up a lot and when they finally do express their emotions, they get labeled whiny, needy, crazy or any negative stereotype of their Moon sign. What these people have to realize is that they, regardless of gender, are the motherly figures to most around them, not vice versa (including their own mothers, in some cases). A Mom shouldn't expect their child to understand their feelings. But, they also MUST take regular breaks from caring for others for self-care as well as to be supported by their inner circle. It's crucial that they find a nurturing partner and emotionally mature friends who they can consistently lean on. They learn that they can't trust many to truly be there for them. So these bonds are incredibly valuable and often lifelong.

MERCURY IN THE 12TH HOUSE

It's hard for Mercury in the 12th House people to get others to truly listen to them. Many of them are told they're too quiet or made to feel intellectually inferior. Others may get the opposite: that they never shut up, that they're too smart for their own good. Either way, people often respond to their perfectly good ideas and sensible insights with silence or willful ignorance. They eventually have to learn that they are here to merely act as channels for information. They are the messengers (some are gifted channelers or mediums) and that can come with the threat of getting metaphorically shot. But, it's important to not take it personally. They can also serve as voices for those who need encouragement or are too scared to speak up. People are often more receptive to the 12th House Mercury person when they're "speaking out" for a cause or something bigger than themselves. Their ideas can be seen as distracting or out there yet expressing opinions that are socially aware or will help others gets more people on board with what they're saying.

VENUS IN THE 12TH HOUSE

Venus in the 12th House people can deal with a lot of resistance in terms of other people's reactions to their love lives. This varies, though, depending on their gender expression. Those with this placement who are more feminine are routinely put on a pedestal. Few people are seen as being "good enough" for them, especially since they often have many obsessive admirers. So they make many choices in romantic partners that are deemed controversial, even if they're actually not so bad. On the flip side, those who are more masculine often are the controversial choice in love. They can be "unconventionally attractive" yet seem to pull mates who are incredibly desirable, inspiring a lot of jealousy. Either way, much of the criticism has a way of dying down if the person a) realizes what people think of their love life is irrelevant and b) takes measures to protect their relationship with enough privacy. You don't have to prove to anyone how happy of a couple you are. And not everybody is going to be genuinely happy for a thriving couple anyway.

MARS IN THE 12TH HOUSE

It can seem as if it's impossible for a 12th House Mars person to fight back. Not necessarily because they're incapable of it but because they get a lot of pushback whenever they do. Again, this can differ depending on the person's gender expression. If they are more masculine, their well-deserved moments of assertiveness and understandable anger can cause them to be labeled rude, a bully, a mean girl/boy. If they are more feminine, they may be expected to just sit there and take and take endless wrongdoings. And when they finally lash out, instead of being nice and passive, they're shamed for it. Ultimately, 12th House Mars people benefit from accepting that there are more ways to fight back than outright aggression. Depending on their Mars sign, they can kill with kindness, defeat their enemy with a logical debate or just channel their energy into the best revenge: success. In any case, the more they enforce boundaries while keeping their cool, the easier it is for others to see who the real enemy is.

JUPITER IN THE 12TH HOUSE

It can be very hard for some people to truly celebrate the victories and blessings that Jupiter in the 12th House people receive. They seem to already "have it all", whether or not this is actually true, and they have a way of activating the "lack consciousness" of particularly insecure people. They are also quite sensitive to this and can feel horribly guilty for their success and prosperity or try to make themselves smaller to comfort others. That's not the answer! But it does help to realize that not everyone wants you to thrive, unfortunately even certain loved ones. This is foreign to Jupiter in the 12th House people, who truly want others to win, which is why they can flaunt their good fortune with an innocent expectation that others will be happy for them. It's important for them to learn to "move in silence" and focus more on generously supporting others on their path. In doing so, the Universe will continue to bless them.

SATURN IN THE 12TH HOUSE

Saturn in the 12th House individuals encounter a confusing backlash when they express and display ambition. Some people will be very skeptical or critical of their goals and plans while others can pretend to be happy for them while feeling secretly jealous. The thing is that these people, often without doing anything, are already viewed as being "better" than others. They exude a certain class and distinction, always appearing in their own league. So, when they actively pursue positions of power or status, it can be seen by many as very threatening. If they are too strongly in "boss" mode, they come across as harsh, scary, or (the word that haunts them) intimidating. People are much more relaxed and receptive with them when they lead with their feminine energy. So, for Saturn in the 12th, success and influence come much easier when they are especially collaborative and supportive or simply seek to be of service to others through their work. Letting go of specific ambitions prevents them from attracting unnecessarily competitive or dismissive vibes from others. Then, their high level of dedication and efficiency can receive the recognition it deserves.

URANUS IN THE 12TH HOUSE

It can seem as if a person with Uranus in the 12th can't just let loose and have some fun without ruffling someone's feathers. This is often accidental as they are just more irreverent, mischievous or wickedly funny than most, without trying to be. They get an inexplicable thrill out of getting into trouble that can become compulsive. So, when they've offended someone, that only motivates them to be even crazier. This is what can get them labeled "edgelords" or "try-hards", written off as annoying by their detractors. Their outrageous antics can majorly distract from the fact that they have something smart and interesting to say. And cool. 12th House Uranus folks are incredibly cool people, capable of setting trends and breaking new ground. If they stop pulling their little (or big) stunts, their It Factor and creative genius will shine through in a way that's undeniable, even to their critics.

NEPTUNE IN THE 12TH HOUSE

Those with Neptune in the 12th can run but they can't hide. These very sensitive people can seek solitude and private reflection to the point of reclusiveness, even the more extroverted ones. But, others refuse to leave them alone for long, especially in public. Often to their chagrin, they are very magnetic to others and their energy can be addicting to be around. And, like a celebrity of sorts, if they aren't fully receptive to their "fans" (which can include their awestruck loved ones) they can get a range of reactions from disappointment to anger to sudden indifference. It's much harder for these people to thrive when they aren't consistently putting themselves out there. Neptune in the 12th people must learn to limit their necessary recharge time and devote more energy to their adoring public. Hard as they may try, they can't fade into the background. They are meant to be noticed and celebrated, bringing their special magic and glamour to the world at large, instead of hoarding it all to themselves behind closed doors.

PLUTO IN THE 12TH HOUSE

When Pluto in the 12th House people assert their power, they can unfairly receive many harsh and extreme reactions from others. There can also be an infuriating double standard, as others may act in similarly intense, passionate or dominant ways without judgment. But, when they do it, they're seen as evil, destructive or manipulative. The unfortunate truth is that many people project the darkness on to this individual that they cannot handle within themselves. However, out of a sense of righteous rage or wounded pain, the Pluto in the 12th person may double down on their radical ways, only reinforcing people's fears or judgments of them. They thrive best when not reacting to the hate, refusing to feed into the drama. Soon, they come to realize that no response can often be the most powerful response. While redirecting their energy, their haters usually end up self-destructing through their own negativity. Meanwhile, they learn the true meaning of control.

NORTH NODE IN THE 12TH HOUSE

Change is an incredibly difficult concept for those with the North Node in the 12th. A lot of these people, for instance, may spend their entire lives in the same city or turn their hometown into their personality trait. It also often seems as if they are never truly allowed to "move forward" or "move on". Family or old friends could feel betrayed if they start changing in some major way. But, the essential dynamic here is karma. There is a huge unresolved issue from a past life (or two) that is absolutely demanding to be resolved this time. It's very likely that it involves a soulmate of some kind who has followed this person from the last life into this one. 12th House North Node people can feel particularly "haunted", especially by this soulmate or anyone else from a previous life who is now in their present; either through direct criticism that they can't get out of their head or crazy signs and synchronicities (or both). And the more they try to just ignore the issue, the worse it gets. These people are here to majorly grow but not by seeking the future. They can only evolve by dealing with their past. There is something about their South Node placement they are repressing or in denial about. It's only when they embrace that truth that they will come into balance and access the strengths of their North Node.

The tittle sound promising, right. I want to HELP YOU, I will not dictate what career you should take. Astrology is a tool that we use for our path. It's not endgame. Me or any other astrologer shouldn't tell you how to live.

✅Please don't plagiarize my work, this is my theory and observations. You can disagree too, but please be nice.

I don't own any of these images.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

First layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

MC + aspects

This is the first "layer"; people call the MC as our career or professions. However, it can also give clubes of how people see us in our job or our public image in general, not only our career.

keeping the superficial nature of this placement, it may resonated with some people and with others not so much. Then, It makes sense if you don't feel reflected in some astrology posts. For example, People with MC in aries want to feel alive and work with their body. The most mentioned career/ jobs are athletes or adventurers. However, not everyone will be an athlete,or have the money to be one. A general idea for the native is to maintain physical stimulation and to keeptheir passion; this can be applied to their any work they realise.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

Second layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

This is how you hope the public perceive you. Usually, people see you in this career or say that you just fit for (insert) career. The MC ruler would give you more information.

For example, MC (10th house) in Taurus, Taurus which us ruled by Venus. This person's Venus is located in the 2nd house Virgo . It's necesssary to see its ruler too; Mercury, they have it in 3rd house Libra. With this info, we can say that this person would prefer a place where they can be organize and expressive. They also aspire to build a balanced and beautiful environment. Earth signs search pleasure and a comfortable place. They want to be useful and have a nice life.

Moreover, MC in Taurus is mentioned to be aesthetic or aesthetically pleasing. People say they will fit into fashion industry or as designers. However, Virgo in Venus (mercury). It's more mental and still looking for stability not only earth pleasures. Mercury related jobs/careers also interested the native.

Possible jobs: writer, screenwriter, songwriter, secretary, teacher, or fashion designer, artist.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

Third layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

MC+ MC ruler+ North node + Asc

The third layer provides howevery aspect change the game. But I will explain it the big picture not the details (aspects), so you guys have an easier idea.

First as before, you go to your natal chart and see your MC. Let's say you have Taurus MC, so see the ruler of that sign. For Taurus is Venus, this placement is in the 2nd house is in Virgo. Virgo is rules by Mercury; let's see the mercury, which rules the 3th house is in Libra. This process is the same as previously mentioned. Which result in Venusian with mercurian energy mix.

Then, after seeing our MC and MC ruler, we need to see our North node. It doesn't matter if your MC aspected or not the Nodes. The native should follow this new challenge (north node) for this lifetime. If they don't challenge themselves, they will feel empty. Check the south node to see your natural gifts.

Finally, we go to our beautiful rising sign. Our rising is not only our physical appearance, but also shows what person we want to become, our the ideal or higher self.

The person above in the example with Venus in the 2nd house, they have a North node in Libra in the 2nd house, South node in Aries 8th house. So, what we can say about them?

They need a job where they feel good and build a higher concept of themselves, but also help others with their emotions somehow. They should have their own system of values and build their own boundaries. The following themes come easy to them investigations, rebirth, occult, death, a job where they can work close to home and have time for themselves. However, they may try to go with Libra and the 2nd house themes more, where they can have comfort and partnerships. Let's add a Scorpio rising to the mix, they will go under many transformations that can be guide for helping others.

Possible jobs: therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, nurse, healer, banker, teacher, professor, counselor, social worker or marriage counselor.

Note 1: As I say, the third point shows the whole picture. However, I don't talk about aspects and modalities. All of that have an effect to our career.

Note 2: The aspects to the nodes depict how is the journey to your profession. It's easier or hard? It's traditional or new?

Note 3: if you have different elements in your MC, Nodes, and the ruler, you have more choices and sometimes you feel confuse.

Note 4: degrees counts too, are you more confident or timid, how you achieve your goals? Are you young or old? Mature or immature?

Note 5: Read beyond and trust yourself. When you feel lost, you should ask yourself, what are my values? Usually, you may feel the most content when you follow your North node. it doesn't mean easy choice, though.

Take care, love 💚🐥

@imahappylovedbeautifulgirl

Hi!

First of all, your Scorpio Venus is retrograde, so I think that perhaps provocative, edgy and dark styles don't go that well with you.

This is why I think you should lean more towards your ascendant and it's ruler for improving your appearance.

Your Virgo ascendant will make you look best with clean and simple looks. No big logos, patterns or images on your clothes. You should also refrain from combining very different aesthetics. Business casual style will be perfect for your Virgo ascendant.

Since both your Sun and ascendant ruler (Mercury) are in Libra, you should dress feminine and wear whatever you consider "pretty". You should wear light colors and always have some nice jewelry or bags incorporated in your outfits. Strive for cleaner and symmetrical silouethes.

You should go for lighter and more simple makeup (if you do wear makeup). Nothing bold or too "in your face", only something light to make your skin appear cleaner/smoother or to enhance your features.

mercurial waves

Answering in short, mildly cold texts, or exciting fast replies. Saving their mental energy for later anxious explosions of thoughts and other unexplainable excitatory brain chemicals. The moment the topic interests them and stimulates their mind they write paragraphs of analysis, zooming in and out of the subject’s matter, exploring every corner and point of view, contradicting their findings, revisiting the topics of their interests, fixating on what interests them for a relatively short period of time that partially feeds their curiosity, before they move on to the next exciting thing. Having to explain something that is utterly plain, obvious and perplexing simultaneously. Having to be alert at all times since their brain is asking for more info the more they exist. Making too much sense that nothing makes sense at all. Anxious coffee breaks. Funny remarks, blunt jokes and self critical irony. Being chatty, a mood booster, the chaotic life of a party. Giving compliments in a straightforward manner, wanting to shock people, interest them and grab their attention. Wanting to be seen as intelligent but playing a fool. Being restlessly on the go, searching for, examining, impersonating, and scanning the world. ADHDing their way through life. Having incomplete essays backed up in their brains. Being able to detach from their thoughts yet moved by them. Not allowing their ever-changing thoughts and views to box them in or define their whole identity, and perceiving people the same way. Being fast to change, grow, talk, move and disappear from sight. 

What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are they not both saying: Hello?

I don’t have to worry about "chemicals you can’t pronounce" in my food and my shampoo because I can pronounce every chemical flawlessly and without effort. Butylated hydroxytoluene.

I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.

u r absolutely right I have SO many complaints about Windows omg.

For anyone who'd like to follow along, I'm gonna share how to get around those things with group policies bc they're more user friendly and descriptive than registry editor imo :3 I'll also show how to get around needing a Microsoft account to get setup.

For the Device Setup

"OOBE" stands for Out Of Box Experience which is what that setup workflow is. But it also happens to be a folder with a little program in it that'll let you skip connecting to the internet; this makes it so you don't have to sign up with a Microsoft account and can just use a normal local one instead. And it already comes preinstalled! Here's how you get to it:

Now when you're brought back to the setup workflow, the page where you connect to the internet will have a new button on it that lets you say you don't have internet. Clicking that and proceeding through the rest of the setup lets you get around the Microsoft account thing.

Group Policies

You don't have to know much about them, these are just a bunch of specific settings for what your computer can or can't do that lets you decide how it works in different ways.

I'm gonna show you how to turn off the recommendations and internet stuff basically. For now bring up search and type gpedit, pick this

It'll open up to Local Group Policy Editor and we can get started :3c

Start Recommendations

In the side menu, go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar. Click on Settings to sort them with all the "Turn off" ones bumped to the top.

Here's what you should set:

Windows Spotlight

Back in the side menu, go down to Windows Components > Cloud Content

Cortana

In the side menu, this one's back at the top under Computer Configuration. You're gonna want to go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search

News and Interests

In the side menu go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > News and interests.

Microsoft Account Login Nudges

When you don't use a Microsoft account they'll nudge you repeatedly to sign in so you can "get the most out of your experience" *gag*. The group policy for turning that off has a note that suggests it might not work with Windows 11 though (implicitly), so you can close the group policy editor window now and for this last one let's just open up the regular settings.

Go to System > Notifications > Additional settings, then uncheck all the boxes. And there ya go! (✿◠‿◠)ﾉ u are done.

Group policies are kind of a rabbit hole so while there is a lot more you could change or read into, for your own sanity's sake I would advise against it and say call it a day lol

This is all extremely good information, thank you very much for the addition!

Mature: Self-loving, passionate, proud. Releases, instead of stores, their anger. Never possessive because they do not care for anyone who would not die for them anyway.

Mature: Creative, intuitive, childlike (vs. childish). Sees the world as a golden meadow, but knows that there are snakes hiding in the grass. A fountain of joy and cheerfulness.

Note that for all of us… ego, pride and confidence are leading signs of maturity. They are symptoms of someone’s self-esteem being healthy. The opposites of which are arrogance, superiority and conceitedness — symptoms of baseness, and tumors of insecurity. Try not to confuse the two categories.

How to Have a Great Self-Esteem

Do not be fooled by the inspirational quotes you see on Instagram or Pinterest. It is not just about rainbows, butterflies and positive thinking. Self-esteem is a very real, tangible thing. You cannot achieve it simply by going within. Having confidence is a big part of it. But it’s not everything.

Step 1: Find your passion.

Because you need a reason to live. If you do not have one, you get depressed. You become lonely. You develop suicidal thoughts. You feel worthless.

And no, going to college, having a job or getting married is not enough. These are goals that society taught us to adopt. What you need is your own personal aim. And you will only discover that once you start living your true passion. Which could be anything, from painting and dancing to spellcasting and tarot reading.

When you have a true goal, you have the will to live. Neither mental illness nor poverty can stop you from chasing it.

Step 2: Look your best.

Body positivity is all well and good in theory. But in reality, body positivity has become a sorry excuse for some people to accept their average self instead of striving for their best self.

In truth, many body positivity champions are simply too lazy to work out, diet and take care of themselves.

You need to ask yourself if you are one of them. Because if you are, there is insecurity inside of you masquerading as self acceptance. And one way or another, that truth will come up to the surface. It will always prevent you from truly loving yourself.

Step 3: Seek material stability.

Hating on rich people and bashing capitalism may be cool and all, but it will not help you pay your bills and buy the things you want.

Success is like a game. Complaining about the rules will not help you win. It will only make you look bitter and stupid, even. Instead, play it. And play as well as you can. Study hard, find a job, start a small online business, sell your art. Or even find a rich romantic partner, if you want — to support you before you can support yourself.

Remember that spirituality is amazing. After all, that is what this blog is all about. But if the gods wanted us to just be spiritual, they would not have made us corporeal.

Step 4: Do not tolerate disrespect.

Respecting yourself means eliminating everyone who does not respect you. 

That means cutting off your toxic friends and breaking up with your abusive lover. If that is easier said than done, ask for help from those who can give it. No one with a healthy self-esteem stays in any abusive relationship. If your parents refuse to give you love, you may not be able to leave them yet, but stop craving their affection and work on yourself while you wait to get out of there.

Same with social media. Block everyone who sends you malicious energy. If that energy is particularly malevolent, avenge yourself by putting a curse on them. Even arguing is not worth your time. Let them drown alone in pathetic jealousy.

Step 5: Never need anyone.

Humans are social creatures with complex emotions. So I do not mean, be a hermit and stay a virgin forever.

What this is, is a culmination of all the previous points. 1) If you know what you want out of this life… 2) If you genuinely feel happy each time you look at your own reflection… 3) If you can financially support yourself in this material world of ours… 4) If you never let anyone walk all over you in any way at all… then and only then are you actually complete.

And when you are complete, it does not matter if a friend betrays you, a lover leaves you, or the world turns its back on you. You will always feel whole at the end of the day. And that is what it truly means to have a great self-esteem.

How to Be Truly Confident

When I was a new initiate myself, my first lesson wasn’t on divination, spellcraft or the old gods. Rather, it was about confidence.

Because without it, magic never lasts. The occult is a powerful thing. To be able to wield it, one needs amazing self-esteem.

Whether your lack of confidence stems from physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or behavioral insecurity, there is only one solution to all of it:

Stop comparing yourself to others.

Do not envy the girl who posts the most selfies. She does that because she feels unpretty and is craving validation.

Do not envy the man who drives a 2020 Ferrari. He is beating himself up for not being able to afford the 2021 model.

Do not envy the overachiever in your class. Among her siblings, her parents love her least. She needs to get noticed.

Do not envy that spiritual guru on YouTube. He has no freedom. Constantly, he has to embody who people expect him to be.

Do not envy that prim and proper lady. She never learned to express her emotions in a healthy way. In truth, she is about to implode.

Do not envy the guy with two girlfriends. He does not know what real love feels like. He is probably dead on the inside.

Do not envy your perfectionist friend. She has OCD and suffers from anxiety. She wishes she were as chaotic and carefree as you.

The millionaire is in agony because he is not a billionaire. The Oscar winner is in torment because she does not have a Tony. The supermodel is in pain because she has never been featured in Vogue magazine.

Everyone has their own misery. No matter how perfect you think their life might be.

So instead of defining your worth based on their looks, talents, personality or achievements, focus all your energy on becoming aware of your strengths.

This is one of my favorite quotes, which Einstein supposedly wrote:

“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid.”

So learn your strengths. And polish them. Forget everyone else. Soon enough, you will be swimming in confidence.

Numerology Life Path 5 - Your Birth Card and its Ruling Planet

Numerology Life Path Numbers and their assigned Tarot Card Meaning Series

This is a post in my new astrology/numerology/tarot series, that only concerns you, if you are a Life Path 5. Posts on consecutive Life Path Numbers will follow. Originally, I wanted to do them all in one post, but my writing turned out to be so long, I decided to split the post and seperate the Life Path Numbers. The introduction part of the post will be the same for all Life Path Numbers, in case you only read a post about your own Life Path Number, and nothing else.

Introduction  

The concept of a Birth Card links Tarot and Numerology together, in order to deepen our understanding of a vibration of a Life Path Number we are born with. The Birth Card, or rather Birth Cards, are Major Arcana Tarot Cards with assigned numbers, which correlate with Life Path Numbers. Understanding the meaning of tarot cards, mixed with the knowledge of Numerology Vibrations, helps create a more unique vision of your life experience.

A person with any given Life Path Number, having several Major Arcana energies present in their lives, usually struggles with one of the energies more than the other. As a result, life will probably force them to focus on mastering one of these energies. In general, however, any Life Path describes both your biggest downfall and ultimate triumph - just like with an Astrology Chart, the highlighted numbers/astrology houses point to your biggest strengths and weaknesses. For a better understanding of this concept, visit my article “Natal Chart - A map of your issues?”

Remember, that everyone, besides their Life Path Number and Birth Card also has a unique astrology chart. Thus, for some people embracing the higher expression of their energy is easier, for others it’s harder and it takes more time to master, and some energies become easier to deal with than others. Most human beings are somewhere in between, working on their path and having some achievements while struggling with difficulties at the same time.

In the spiritual community, there are differences in opinion on linking Astrological Planets and positions to specific numerology numbers energies. My take is a result of my own personal experience, conversations with other people in my field and research, in order to give you the widest possible spectrum of ideas and increase the understanding of every Life Path Number.

If you are a Master Number 11, 22 or 33, there will be a seperate post on how the Birth Cards apply to you as well.

Even If you have only a basic understanding of Astrology, Tarot or Numerology, this post will still be helpful to you, because it describes the unique vibrational mix that comes from the expression of both these spiritual sciences mixed together.

Astro Observations for

Leo Rising...

🌤️ Heart-shaped faces/heads. Hair! Wide smiles. Fair skinned or come from a lineage of fair skinned people. Confident persona with big gestures. Leads with heart...wears heart on sleeves.

🌤️ They aren't self-centered or the attention seekers they may get painted. With a (Libra 3H) they're mindset and mode of communication is centered around building relationships. They desire fairness and harmony when connecting with others and often go out of their way to please people when making those connections.

🌤️ This often appears contradictory to the way they behave when actually in a relationship. With an (Aquarius 7H), they may behave aloof and distant. But that isn't necessarily the case. Aquarius here may cause the native to desire freedom from the constraints of a traditional relationship. These individuals may prefer relationships and partnerships that are unconventional and go against the norm...requiring changes that bring excitement.

🌤️ In their (Cancer 12H) there is a strong desire to nurture their spirituality and their connection to the collective. While it may not be evident based on their house of relationships (Aquarius 7H), this really does go hand-in-hand because Aquarians are humanitarians. (Cancer 12H) also indicates psychic abilities.

🌤️ Although it may come across cold, these folks work hard and give a lot. They are no strangers to hunkering down and getting sh¡t done (Capricorn 6H). There may also be knee, ankle, or general bone issues that arise from this placement.

🌤️ On the same note...having a (Virgo 2H) lends to a very meticulous way of acquiring their needs. These folks tend to be pretty business savvy and have a very admirable work ethic and way of obtaining money. These are the people at work who just seem to know how to organize and categorize things for efficiency.

🌤️ There may have been some sort of trauma experienced in the early home life (Scorpio 4H). Secrets and things hidden or swept under the rug is very likely in the family. May come from a lineage of women with psychic abilities or occult practices. Lots of intense and transformational experiences derive from this placement.

🌤️ Depending on placements in the natal chart, we typically see this show up in their (Leo 1H) as a fierce loyalty toward becoming their best selves. There is a natural expression of confidence, courage, and creativity that they exude. Just like the Sun, people can't help but to see them.

🌤️ We also see this come thru in their (Taurus 10H), where here there is a natural ability and expression of beauty and making things aesthetically pleasing. This is usually specific to their career and public image. Here we may find them work methodically in fields such as interior design, jewelry making/design, or a form of physical labor related to beauty or creating beautiful things, such as wood working, pottery, or glass making.

🌤️ Unless there are planets in the natal that restrict it, these beautiful people are incredibly social (Gemini 11H), and often find themselves with lots of friends and associates. They tend to be leaders among groups they are involved. These are also people who create groups or organizations that are geared toward sharing information...think Facebook and other social media platforms.

🌤️ And they enjoy it! Running those groups or being an admin or moderator is something they do as a hobby. This is rooted in that (Gemini 11H) where they really enjoy sharing all the knowledge they gather through their social connections, personal research and travels (Sagittarius 5H). And people love them because they are able to convey messages with their wit and charm. These folks are funny and flirty by nature.

🌤️ Having a (Pisces 8H) grants these individuals with great intuitive gifts. It is also makes these natives quite empathetic towards the dark, shadow aspects of others. They often possess a natural tendency towards healing themselves and others with spiritual practices that aren't widely accepted or recognized.

🌤️ But what society thinks is the least of these individuals' concern. Their overview of the world is filtered through the eyes of Self for these people (Aries 9H). Their philosophies are geared toward independent thinking, carving one's own path, fighting for what is fair and just, and championing for the underdogs (Aries 9H + Libra 3H).

Medical Astrology: Your SunSign Reveals Your Body’s Weakest Spot?

Watching the Stars move may help us understand better ourselves, our motives, our advantages and disadvantages and much more parts of our psyche. The roots of Medical astrology can be traced back to the Chaldeans, Sumerians and Assyrians. In ancient Egypt astrology was used widely in treating and diagnosing diseases while in ancient Greece, Hippocrates paid much attention to the movement of the Stars as he considered that Astrology to be a very powerful , eapon in the hands of a Medical Doctor. 

However if you face – or your think you may face – a health issue you should always consult with your Medical Doctor first!

Aries

The first sign of the Zodiac governs the Head, Face, and Hair. If you are Aries or you got significant planets in Aries then you probably got a lot of headaches or even migraines. You should also visit very often a dentist because teeth are also under Aries’ dominion (along with Capricorn). Pride plays a very essential role in this sign thus fear of failure stresses them so much that they always want to give their best in anything they do.

This pushes them to hurry in almost everything they try to cope with. The drive fast, the move fast, they work fast. This can cause many accidents especially when they use sharp or mechanical objects or even vehicles. Mars fiery power, however, can make their recovery miraculous and as you keep sexually active and enthusiast then your life-force will replenish your body periodically with vibrant health.

Taurus

The second sign of the Zodiac governs the Throat – Neck and also co-governs the Lungs and the Sinus area. If you are Taurus or you got significant planets in Taurus then are you probably blessed with Good health as Venus blesses you with a harmonious relationship with your body. However, problems, accidents, and infections in the areas described above are very common to Taurus.

Their vocal cords and tonsils are highly likely to be stricken first whenever they neglect themselves or they lose their imbalance. Vulnerable to colds and coughs when they lose balance, you have to take extra care of yourself in the Winter. Taurus is also traditionally linked with multiple eating disorders or metabolism issues as the thyroid glands are under Taurus dominion. Aerobic exercise should be a daily concern.

Gemini

The third sign of the Zodiac governs the Arms, the Shoulders, and the Hands as well as partly the Lungs (along with Taurus). If you are Gemini or you got significant planets in Gemini then you are probably always on the run, ever-moving, ever-thinking, over-doing stuff while others always wonder how you manage this multi-tasking so easily.

The thing is that the speed that you always try to do stuff makes you anxious all the time. Moreover, you are definitely the worst patients because you just hate staying in bed. This constant anxiety makes you guys very prone to depression and psychosomatic diseases like allergies, asthma and chronic bronchitis as well as habits which will temporarily make you feel better like alcohol and smoking. Please try to relax and meditate!

Cancer

The fourth sign of the Zodiac governs the Stomach and the near stomach-area. If you are Cancer or you got major planets in Cancer you are very emotional no matter if you perceive it or not. You constantly feel the need to be secure with much love and material bliss. If you can’t feel that then you probably stress your stomach so much that you probably suffer from stomach ulcers or gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Moreover, your constant change of emotions in addition to your sensitive stomach, make you prone to eating disorders which will only make you feel worse. Try to start a balanced diet full of vitamins, probiotics, and chamomile amongst other things! Do things that help you relax and make you feel better.

Leo

The fifth sign of the Zodiac governs the Heart and Chest area as well as the Back. If you are Leo or you got major planets in Leo then you are probably blessed with Good health and wellness. This comes from the effect of the Sun, the “planet” traditionally linked with the Vital energy or Chi if you are fond of the Chinese culture.

The thing is that this born-with wellness should not be taken for granted and Leo have to be extra careful because being a bon-viveur is something your body can not always endure. Large quantities of Good Wine and gourmet Food may be mouth-watering but not safe for your health. Exercise a lot!

Virgo

The sixth sign of the Zodiac governs the Intestines, partly the stomach area, the female reproductive system, and the Nervous system. If you are Virgo or you got major planets in Virgo then you are very likely to be healthy and always maintain a really healthy condition as Virgo rules health and the functions of the body. However, Virgo tends to overanalyze almost everything, leaving them lost in endless work hours and their tries to make things better.

Your sensitive emotions make easily cause your health troubles even if your thoughts are the only source of them. Your will for perfection, whether you still try for it or abandoned it, stress you so much that you are prone to digestive disorders, ulcers, gas pains and colitis. When something slips your plans you feel like you lost the ground under your feet and that’s when eating disorders or alcohol addiction may begin. Exercising is essential for you and may I propose you walking or jogging outdoors and by looking at the Sky and a gentle breeze can easily blow your troubles away.

Libra

The seventh sign of the Zodiac governs the Kidneys and the Water balance in your body. It also governs the Skin and all Glands of the body. If you are Libra or you got major planets in Libra, your constant need to feel and achieve balance can cause headaches and anxiety disorder. All these symptoms might also be caused from your tendency to make peace with diverse tensions in your psyche.

Allergies and skin disorders are also very common in Libra as they are results of your emotional turbulence. Music may be the key to unblocking yourself and your repressed soul which longs for beauty and harmony. Yoga and energy-powering activities can benefit your body functions as well as your emotions helping you avoid depression too.

Scorpio

The eighth sign of the Zodiac governs the Genitals, the Bladder (along with Libra) as well as the Prostate gland. If you are Scorpio or your got major planets in Scorpio then you are probably prone for longevity as your strong Plutonian structure help your endure nearly every difficulty life may give you. On the other hand, Scorpio has such a sensitive side that only few can understand – sometimes not even themselves. Throat issues may also occur due to their inability to express their emotions in a right way.

Stressful situations that require rebirth from their ashes and deep emotional scars – almost always from your childhood – may affect your reproductive system as well as your ultimate power – your libido. Scorpio’s rough life-force should always be directed in a more productive way and not be repressed because if that happens self-destructive situations may begin. Your competitive nature will find it’s bliss in Sports while your body will enjoy a good cardio.

Sagittarius

The ninth sign of the Zodiac governs the Liver, the Hips, and the Thighs. If you are Sagittarius or you got significant planets in Sagittarius then your positive attitude towards live help you maintain a satisfying health status. Jupiter’s positive touch of enthusiasm and optimism rarely gets you into trouble and the problems almost always begin when you lose faith in your Heavenly Father (Jupiter) or you exaggerate with enthusiasm. Accidents (when you drive a vehicle or in sports) are very common in the lives of each Sagittarius.

Try always to keep your positive side but always take into consideration the safety instructions of everything you do. Although you are very capable of coping with nearly everything, you should pay much attention when you mess with things or situations that can hurt you – physically or not. The liver is very essential to metabolism and you are almost always gain weight near your thighs, something you have to take care of as your liver may acquire fatty infiltration. Exercise and keep your optimism.

Capricorn

The tenth sign of the Zodiac governs the Bones, the Joints (especially the area near the Knees) and the whole Skeletal system (including the Teeth as well). If you are Capricorn or your got significant planets in Capricorn then you are probably blessed with a very tough body which can endure nearly everything. The Achilles’ heel of you guys is depression which can cause many upside-down in your life AND of course your body due to the serotonin disorder – try to relax regularly.

Exercising is so essential to you! You should right now consider how to put regular work-out plans in your daily schedule – if your face health issues ask your medical doctor to guide you through a personalized workout. Your competitive nature calms during sports and your hormones balance better. A diet high in Calcium (unless you are advised otherwise by your M.D.) is often a very important factor of your wellbeing as orthopedic issues are very common to you guys. Saturnian effect on you helps you more as you grow up improving the way you perceive your body functions.

Aquarius

The eleventh sign of the Zodiac governs the Calves, the Shins, and the Ankles as well as co-governs the Circulatory system & heart (along with Leo). If you are Aquarius or you got significant planets in Aquarius then are probably someone who gives into sports even in a more “personalized” way, thus granting you with a balanced body.

The problem with this sign is routine. Your hard work is indeed very important but you should never neglect your body’s needs. Aquarius possesses a vast pool of Chi which can be activated whenever they want to. This makes illnesses behave rather odd to them making many people wonder. It is very important to keep exercising and keep a healthy diet, as Aquarius tends to depress over the years. Keeping a youthful body reassures their power. If they don’t then possible circulatory problems may occur – especially in their legs.

Pisces

The twelfth sign of the Zodiac governs the Feet and Toes. If you are Pisces or you got significant planets in Pisces then your imagination is your most powerful and most precious weapon. Dreams and nightmares play a very important role in your lives. Insomnia is a very common problem Pisces suffer from. Unfortunately, when they feel they are not surrounded by love and affection they very often try to find happiness and calmness in alcohol, drugs or other addictions.

Pisces are very prone to mental and psychic problems as well probably because of their very sensitive aura. If Pisces manage to clear their Chakras daily then they may avoid all these because their psychic powers can be directed and manipulated in a more productive way. Meditation and Yoga are very very suitable for Pisces.

Chiron in the houses

Chiron in the 1st House

This shows your deepest wound residing in your sense of self. You may neglect your own personality or self-interests in order to appease others. You are a fighter for those who are less fortunate and give wonderful advice to others who seek your counsel. Helping others help themselves and find their true potential is your strong point. Your weak point is doing the same for yourself. You may have trouble defining yourself and finding meaning in your life. You often neglect yourself or feel unworthy. The lesson you need to learn is self-love and self-respect. Let yourself do what you love and take your own advice as if you were giving this same advice to someone you love. Build up your personality, don’t limit yourself or feel selfish about it, you must learn to accept yourself as a unique individual with personal power in order to transcend.

Chiron in the 2nd House

This shows your deepest wound residing in your sense of self-worth. You may have trouble seeing the worth in your own being without having something to offer. This placement usually shows disappointment in one’s self when having financial difficulties. It can give an exaggerated need for material assets. When you are well equipped materially, you will likely still not be happy until you find worth in your spirit and own being rather than what you own. You are not your possessions, your worth is not what you have to physically offer others. You can see the worth in others who aren’t well off and can be very helpful in helping them see the positive sides to themselves that exclude the material, but when it comes to yourself, you are not as kind. This placement shows a need for finding things of value inside yourself rather than outside. When you truly find your personal worth you will be able to transcend your deepest wound.

Chiron in the 3rd House

This shows your deepest wound residing in communication. This could mean constant feelings of being misunderstood or not being listened to. It can also show unintentional or intentional insults in childhood that have left you with low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy. Some with this placement feel that they cannot express what they truly feel, either because they don’t know how to put it into words or they feel they won’t be taken seriously. Some say that difficulties with siblings can occur with this placement. You are an advocate for those who are not heard. You can easily speak up for others who are being bullied or put down, but you have trouble doing the same for yourself. The goal of Chiron here is to show you that your words are important and you are worthy of attention. You can admit your mistakes and praise your accomplishments without feeling guilty. Realizing your divine being can help you gain confidence in yourself. When you learn to speak without the need to be heard, and you learn to know that simple expression is valid and important, you will have healed your deepest wound.

Chiron in the 4th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in your family life. It can predict a difficult childhood, confinement to home, being cast out, or even having a disabled parent that was in need of your constant attention. This can manifest in many ways but the important factor is that you must learn to separate yourself from your past and not let the chains hold you down. This is a hard placement to dig into because the 4th house shows the deepest part of your soul. Chiron nestles far down and is almost invisible. Being objective in approaching the past is necessary to get anywhere with this placement. Forgiving the past is needed. Forgiving yourself and those who made you feel the way you felt is needed. You have a strong sense of empathy for others and a desire inside you to nurture those who feel displaced. You must learn how to nurture yourself the same way. Once you forgive the past, learn to allow self-nurturing, and open yourself up to world without fear of getting hurt, you can transcend the pain.

Chiron in the 5th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in your creative expression. Creative expression does not just mean art or music related endeavors but also experiencing joy from everyday things that make you happy. Quick relationships and children are ruled by this house, as well as recreational sex. You may have been held back from being able to do what you wanted to do and therefore feel restricted. You must learn that doing purely for pleasure is absolutely okay and crucial to your happiness. You do not have to be so serious all the time and can afford to relax every once in awhile. This is a placement that needs to abide by the advice ‘take time to smell the flowers.’ You can easily help others branch out and express themselves and know what they need in order to feel joy, but when it comes to you personally, you feel you can’t let yourself do that. Free yourself, express yourself, laugh and smile, and enjoy your life for the simple fact of being alive! This will bring you healing.

Chiron in the 6th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in daily needs and health. You may be preoccupied with your own health and possibly even be a hypochondriac. You worry incessantly yet don’t do much to remedy it. Routine is difficult for you and you prefer to do things of your own accord, but you can easily tell others how to organize their own lives and keep up with healthy habits. On the flip side, you may be too obsessed with keeping up with your own routine and become quite inflexible in the ways you work. You may wish you could relieve yourself of all the strict rules you place on yourself but feel you cannot risk it. This placement can show health problems early on in life, or even throughout life; this can stem from or lead to your worried state of mind. It can also lead to possible eating disorders and obsession with weight and health. The goal here is to allow yourself some freedom. It is to accept the way you are and make only necessary boundaries for yourself and leave the rest up to your whims. If you deny routine, try adding a little structure to your life here and there, and you might find yourself benefiting from it. Relaxation, essentially, is the key word. Physical wounding doesn’t need to add to emotional wounding. Free yourself from worry and RELAX.

Chiron in the 7th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in close relationships. It can physically manifest through parental divorces or the parents having a rough relationship. It can also show lack of closeness with the parents while growing up. In turn, this can lead the native toward uneasy feelings regarding relationships. You may feel unwanted or rejected by those you wish to form close partnerships with and therefore avoid them all together. With this being so, you have great insight into relationships and can easily detect problems in others’ relationships and show them how to remedy them. For yourself though, you may feel blinded or cursed. You fear being abandoned. You might often attract those who have wounds you desire to heal. It’s likely you attract or have attracted those who use you for your empathy. You need loyalty and commitment in a relationship, and confidence in those, in order to be happy. But the key to truly being happy, despite the outside factors, is to get over the fear of rejection and seek out healthy relationships rather than ones you think you can change. You can do this by learning how to be alone. You must cure this Chiron placement by kneeling to it, and in this case, that is kneeling to yourself and coming to an understanding that you are all you need.

Chiron in the 8th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in resources, deep connection, death, and sex. There are many different ways this placement can express itself. Materially, it can manifest through dependence on others or others depending on you too much. Physically, it can manifest through difficulties in feeling fulfilled sexually, yet being able to fulfill partners easily. Emotionally, it can manifest in great sorrow regarding death;  possibly having deaths in your early childhood or having those close to you die. You may be able to console those who are feeling sorrow, but are unable to console yourself. The important thing to remember is to respect yourself, accept the cycles of life, and let go. You can heal each of these wounds by being honest and upfront. You must learn to share your emotions in order to transcend them. You know transformation lurks behind disaster better than anyone. Clear the soot. Embrace the change.

Chiron in the 9th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in expansion. This can be physically, meaning travel, or mentally, meaning philosophically. You may go through a transformation of beliefs at least once in your life and it can be very prominent and life-changing. You are a life-long learner and strong advocate of constant learning, yet you may stress yourself out in trying to do just that. You are a great teacher, but if you don’t allow your mind to expand and see other sides to things, you can be arrogant and unwavering. You put a lot of stress on yourself to follow what you currently believe, yet allow others to be flexible in their approaches and offer up multiple ways of doing things. You enjoy helping others expand, yet you are afraid to yourself. It’s important to continue to expand your mind, and you can do that through travel, study, and listening to others. To heal this wound, you must let the truth shine through rather than holding convictions that you’ve grown out of as well as DO what you feel your soul is pulling you toward. Everything is a learning experience after all.

Chiron in the 10th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in reputation. This is an easy explanation, but not so easy in practice. You desire to be recognized and admired. You want to be seen as accomplished and respected. It may be difficult for you to find worth in yourself unless others see worth in you. You want a tangible reason behind worth. On another side, you may feel that what you do always caters to others rather than yourself. You may be scared to succeed because of the fear of failure. In any of these cases, fear is the backdrop. You want to succeed because you fear rejection. You are scared to try and succeed because you fear ridicule. You fear your current career because you’re always neglecting your own needs and the further you go the more you neglect yourself. This can all be remedied by acceptance and coming to terms with who you truly are what you want. Ask yourself who you are and what will make you happy and go after that. Don’t do things to appease other people, do them to make yourself happy, whether that is being super successful or sitting in the middle of a daisy field writing music. Heal yourself by accepting yourself. Happiness and bliss is true success.

Chiron in the 11th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in friendship and hopes. You may often feel rejected by others and this can lead you to be quite lonely. You are unique and you know that you don’t fit in with the normal crowd, so instead, you seek out those that have similar points of view in order to not be rejected anymore. You can easily help others fit in somewhere, but you find it difficult to fit yourself in with others. It’s important to recognize that we are all divine beings, interconnected, and that we belong everywhere — not just with those who are of like mind. You may feel lonely and a little bitter because of this and reject anyone that doesn’t fit into your description of ‘friend’ because you fear the connection not working out. Learn to make connections without preconceived notions of how it’s going to go and remember that ‘everyone you meet is your guru.’ You have something to gain from everyone just as everyone has something to gain by coming into contact with you.

Chiron in the 12th House

This shows your deepest wound residing in your unconscious. Any placement in the 12th house is a very spiritual one, and those not on a spiritual path will feel 12th house energy in a ‘negative’ way because it is relentless in sending lessons until we learn them. This placement shows that you have difficulty opening yourself up to others, yet are extremely empathetic and desire to help those in need. You might encourage others to share their problems so you can help. You may be fiercely private and have psychic abilities. You may reject these abilities and deny them to much frustration. Chiron in the 12th will keep throwing circumstances your way in order to teach you lessons in acceptance and seeing the bigger picture. One may feel plagued, but the plague shall end when one simply accepts and trusts the process. Accept yourself, accept others, explore your own spirituality, find a path that suits you and walk it. Compassion is the necessity behind this house, and that means for yourself as well as for others.

You’re just now getting out of what you call a “6-months-flop-era”. Your “hiatus” as you call it or maybe- you’re just now getting out of your “depression sleeping-bag”. You’re getting back on your feet and piecing back the blocks that fell, together again. Which leads you to this very moment, standing in front of your closet, enrobed in a plush floor length marabou, soap opera playing in the background with an espresso in hand. You don’t recognize this closet. Clothes you haven’t worn in forever, clothes too big, too small, clothes that are really just old shirts and gym shorts that got you through so many break downs and break throughs… As you glance at the wall, you point a manicured finger and click the “Press for Champagne” button. A bell rings, glitter rains down and… POOF! I appear, your fairy fashion gawdmuva, with a massive tote, tracksuit and a bottle of Champagne. You say you need some advice? Style support? Fashion Forum? Clothing Council? Well then, let’s not stall a moment longer…

In this series I will be styling each zodiac sign according to my own personal fashion aesthetics and tastes. I will combine the different zodiac elements with my own designs. I will be breaking down the allure, what, why, fit, coat and fragrances, yep, the whole shabang! So, as you read this you’ll see how I come up with looks and maybe you will learn how to apply that to your OWN wardrobe- or dare I say runway.

So, be a dear and call room service; two lattes, two croissants and some pastries hun, this will be fun…

Taurus Taurus Taurus….. let’s start by clearing out the elephant in the room: Taurus isn’t lazy, isn’t plain and isn’t boring. Instead, Taurus is clever, is classic and is exclusive. You would think I’m a Taurus with this introduction, alas no, I don’t even know many Tauruses. However, like the rest of the signs, lazy stereotypes come from elements worthy of flattery. Taureans, have piqued my interest in many a ways, and these very cheap stereotypes are the bases of my inspiration for the curation I’m about to share. So get cozy- this will be sweet.

My Taurus friends have taught me that taking an Uber instead of walking 30 minutes isn’t lazy; it’s efficient. Why walk and sweat under the heatwave for 30 minutes with sore feet, when you can sit in a Lexus with the AC on for 10 minutes and 10 dollars that you can afford? Lazy or Convenient? Exactly. Or another example- when shopping, I know of one friend who’s particular about the fit and fabric of the clothes he buys. We will tour 5 stores ‘till thee shirt is found. Is that picky or making a wise investment? Why buy a shirt that fits too awkwardly and tight that you will dump in 2 months, when you can just take an extra 30 minutes to find that one shirt you will have for the next two years? Exactly. So Taurus, forgive me for a second for playing into stereotypes, but that exact stereotype people hold against you for being lazy and fussy is the exact flavour I’m using to custom curate (you know you want me to pamper you) your style.

Let’s get into key pointers for starters so you can have the visuals, then we’ll dive deeper:

Let’s get straight to it Taurus, starting with what you’re already clad in: your robe. I first came across the image of our superstar Lizzo (at the end to the right) adorned with the navy and black marabou, in the Vogue article titled “Does this robe make you think of death” (august 2022). Many fascinating historical and cultural connotations were linked together in that article (take a read online, link at the end) but what stood out to me was the following quote:

I would expand on that point and add that this is the key to building your wardrobe, or even any artistic project under your name. Like Beyoncé said: “When you’re lying in your bed, are you happy with yourself?” You can change 100 things about you, but if they are done for others, because of others or under the approval of others, eventually you will feel unsatisfied. It will lose your essence. When it’s just you, the mirror and your bathrobe (and maybe a few tears) what is it that you envision for yourself? No magazine, not even I can fix you, we can only inspire you. The artist needs to pick up the brush, not the art critic.

With that leading into my next point love, I say this from firsthand experience: invest in a robe. Be patient and particular with it. Floor length, mid thigh, feathery, cotton, plush, thin, long sleeves, kimono, fur, floral, leopard, I don’t care; your robe is gonna be a garment that embodies your personality. When you are alone, nude, vulnerable, hidden like fine china kept in the oak cabinet- what do you wear? To give you a peak into the wardrobe of yours truly, I have one simple fluffy cotton robe with silver pattern that’s lasted me years. If I only do hair and makeup and leave the wardrobe to the robe only; it’s giving Hollywood actress getting ready in the dressing rooms. And yes, she also has a leopard printed fluffy robe on the way, because we also want to give the Y2K spoiled heiress look. When we think of Taurus, we think comfort- so what does the beauty of your comfort look like? You don’t look glamorous and put together after you get your hair and outfit ready- you are put together the moment you wrap yourself in a robe, face washed with rollers in your hair.

Please for the sake of my mental health and world peace, get lavish with some fur slippers, floor length robe and a satin head wrap. Amen!

Moving on, (and pass me a chocolatine) I will divide the looks below, in two parts: On the go princess and On the job prep. Let’s start wth the former. As a young teen, I always admired the girls who (maybe in their own eyes looked bummy) had their hair in a giant clip, huge shades crowning their head, wearing a tracksuit and chunky shoes, massive tote bag full of snacks, cigs, gloss, 3 perfumes, hella mascara wands and never without a jumbled ring of keys jingling everywhere they walked. In my little girl eyes, these women were their own created fantasy.

And that my dears, is the power of matching tracksuits, sweatsuit and lounge sets. As I’ve cleared out my wardrobe through the years, I have taken time to make sure my hoodies match my sweat pants, vests that match workout leggings and so on. Biggest fashion payout. When I’m chilling at home and my friends wanna hit the mall, or I need to run errands or even have an unexpected visit- all I need is a spritz of perfume, lip liner, shades and jewlery. Et voila. Coincidentally, the look Rihanna has (below) in the black sweatsuit from top to bottom, is a look I actually wear. And I’m COZY AF. With my hair curly and loose with a bold red lip, its giving “who is she?”. She’s going somewhere and she’s something- but what? It’s a very versatile concept, wether you prefer a sporty, tomboy, sweetheart or feminine look, there are hundreds of different sets, plain and graphics that you can chose from. And if you really wanna be a doll? Satin/silk sets. As a thin and lighter fabric, it’s great for summer weather too.

Silk is definitely a great choice especially in lounge sets (or lingeries like babydolls or teddy’s), but for the sake of affordability, satin is just as perfect. I feel that the look of a woman, in lounge clothes and no makeup (or with) is sultry. To support this, I’d say look into the past fashion eras like the 20’s and 50’s, it would be “inappropriate” to wear house, lounge or bed clothes publicly and in front of guests. It could be seen as scandalous, raunchy or suggestive. So, go risqué. When it comes to matching sets as a whole, it’s a bonus, especially if you feel overwhelmed by needing to put together outfits- boom, here’s a red graphic hoodie and matching sweatpants. Slide into your light blue air Jordan’s and now you’re dressed as a statement. You might already have a few plain coloured tracksuits and you side eye me saying, “Girl I have a tracksuit and it’s not giving socialite or street fashion.” Okay, well think socialite babes. Chunky, anti-paparazzi glasses, the bigger the better. Adore, adorne Dior; earrings, charm bracelets, anklets, waist chains, bandanas ect. Gloss, large tote and statement shoes- et voilà. The tracksuit isn’t the problem- it’s how you’re working it.

Lastly, suits and formal sets. Tracksuit glamour is a look, but not always one you’ll wanna wear everywhere. That’s why suits and skirt/pant sets are pretty and convenient for the same reason a tracksuit is. I tend to find they give off slightly more an air of formality. When it’s in a colour (like a pink, red or beige suit) it stands out- especially brighter colours. As I have had my fair share of the role little miss corporate America, suits have been the key reason why I was always told I looked so formal yet stylish, when in reality, I was simply too tired to be bothered playing ANTM at 5am. You can dress it up or tone it down with the cuts and shapes of the material (ie: plain turtleneck vs a blouse with ruffles on the neck and sleeves) and formality is timeless. Don’t know where to start? Depending on your skin tone I’d recommend black (always sexy, elegant and timeless), navy (I say navy is black with colour, pairs very well with browns), beige (classic but stands out) or any deep/taupe colours (ie: forest green or sage green). These colors all can mix well with others, so they don’t restrict your wardrobe, they add to it. Pale pink and beige. Baby blue and chocolate brown. Army green and rusty orange. Red and black. If you’re someone who doesn’t like wearing a lot of layers but you don’t wanna look simple, try clothes with bright colors or patterns. A simple black suit is traditional, but a houndstooth suit is very attention getting while still remaining chic and classic.

What I want you to conclude from this article is: if you buy or already have a lot of sets (skirt, pant, tracksuits, shorts, loungewear), you can easily elevate and customize them with accessories, jewlery, scarves, shoes, bags and glasses. Put a touch of your magic on every piece and item. Wanna revamp your 9 to 5 look? White turtleneck, powder blue suit, red heels, beige bag and a black trench coat with a lengthy sandy brown scarf. Large shades and a deep maroon red on your pout. Want more to the look? Tortoise shell glasses. Then, once you get home after a hectic day, unwind in a sage green silk set with a bustier and lounge pants. Adorne yourself in a long caramel or baby blue robe and matching fur slides, waist chain and wrap your locs in a pink satin head scarf. And then call me over to watch clueless with some wine.

Now dearie, you’ll have to excuse me as I lounge around and take a nap on your bed. And order some more room service; all this lounging around has me famished.

Bisous,

Your Fairy Fashion Gawdmuva.
