Just a reminder: Your birth time and degree determine your Sun sign—not "cusps” or personal opinions.

I didn’t realize this wasn’t common knowledge, but it’s understandable if people are new to astrology. There is no such thing as a cusp in astrology. You can be born on the date that one sign switches to another, but that does not make you a cusp, and you do not inherit traits from the other sign just because of your birthday. However, depending on the degree of your Sun sign, you may express different traits than someone else with the same Sun sign.

Depending on whether you believe in sidereal astrology (I personally don’t), Cancer runs from July 16th to August 16th, which would mean that most tropical Leos (unless they were born after August 17th) would actually be Cancers in the sidereal zodiac.

Now, here’s why degrees matter. Let’s say someone is born on July 22, 2022, at 4:04 p.m. They would be a Cancer. But if someone else is born on the same date and year, just three minutes later at 4:07 p.m., they would be a Leo. See how it’s only a three-minute difference, yet it changes the Sun sign? Exactly.

Please don’t make anyone feel less like their sign just because you’ve made up your own personal rules about what a Leo (or any other sign) is. That’s annoying as hell. 💀💀

What hair dye is best for a honey brown/caramel color?

For reference I’ve already dyed my hair using hi-color, I’m okay with stripping it with bleach because it has already grown out a lot

Hi color dye becoming dull, I want to refresh my hair but unsure how

Basically what the caption says.. hi color dye is becoming dull, it was a soft brown color (mixed with honey blonde(?) and copper/ginger) and now is turning light in some areas with dullness to the color.. my roots are obvious (not more than half an inch to an inch of being grown out tho)

Should I use bleach or color remover to get the rest of the dye out to start with a newer canvas?

My hair is coily & thick.. I don’t know if that’s important though

Wanting to attend STOVS but have volunteering at a hospital with a competitive program.. is STOVS worth it?

Basically what I said in the header😭the program for the hospital was competitive—i already asked if i could do the work in advance for those days and i was told no.. i feel like the volunteering would help more with my future career more than STOVS will.. but I don’t want to regret not going

I’m already doing the connections weekend and wildcat welcome

The odd feeling of people being upset with you for asking them to read the myths

Once in a while I talk to people who are into Greek mythology media.. like hades the game, god of war or Percy Jackson and the Olympians. And when they begin to ask questions or say certain things—I always tell them to read the myths because it’s better explained that way. And then the irritation from their side comes in 😭

recently in the hades game community (which I love) people want to romance the gods.. especially Artemis. I said “I would advise you to kindly read the myths just because it explains the reason why the gods wouldn’t be romance-able” and in comes downvotes 💀

I love that people are interested in Greek Myths but it feels like some people only have a one track mind when they learn stuff.. (like Medusa and Poseidon and people only believing Ovid’s story.. or the myth of hades and Persephone..) but to me—it’s insanely funny whenever people get upset from me suggesting for them to read the myths.. how can you love something and then refuse to learn about it?. (Or only learn about it from games or tv shows that put their own spin towards it)

Anyways.. that’s the end of my rant 💔
