Is it true that people from East/ North Yorkshire call people from West Yorkshire "bloody Wessies" when they visit the coast in summer, and sometimes put "no Wessie" signs up?
Why do they not like people bringing tourism in?
How would you describe the differences between the six towns (and Newcastle) to an outsider? What is signature to each town?
Imagining what a "Greater Stoke-on-Trent" county could look like (or some other name like Oatcakeshire).
There are various myths of spectral black dogs in the Peak District and also supposed sightings of a black panther (like in a lot of moorland across the country). There's even a Headless Horseman legend around Butterton. Has anyone here ever seen anything paranormal/ sighted a cryptid in the Peaks?
Also not to forget the Longdendale Lights which are thought to be either aliens or fairies, described as either dancing glowing orbs or extremely bright flashes that flood the whole sky, which have been reported by a lot of people over the years. And of course ghosts. Any sightings or experiences you've had in the area?
Two Anglo Saxon crosses in the market square of Sandbach, Cheshire. Roughly 1,200 years old, from the kingdom of Mercia.
Any other geeks/ nerds on here who love Afflecks?
Did a quick edit on Google Maps to see what the Peak District would look like if the Derwent Valley Reservoirs were never created and the villages of Ashopton and Derwent still stood.
Does Cheshire have its own accent?
Just asking because I don't know. I've never heard someone say they have a Cheshire accent so I was curious.
What's your favourite building in the Peak District (including Buxton)?
Could be a stately home, a shop, a cottage, a mill, whatever. Which is your favourite and why? And I'm including Buxton because it's part of the Peak District region even if it's not in the National Park, and it has many nice Georgian buildings.
TIL we make up 23% of Britain's population. The South is almost 50%.
The North's industrial legacy is something to be proud of 🏭💪
Can working with Jupiter help boost the Cancer house in a chart (because it's exalted in Cancer) or will only the Moon do that?
I want to work with a planet to help clarify and boost career matters for me. Cancer is my 10th house and I have three planets there, including the Moon. So Moon is the obvious planet to work with, but there's a problem, she's out-of-sect and fully waned (Balsamic phase). So I'm not sure if working with the Moon with give me the best results, unless I want to do secretive things which the Balsmaic Moon is good for. So I was thinking I could work with Jupiter because it's the other planet with dignity over Cancer and I have it conjunct my Ascendant. It's my sect benefic and it has triplicity in an Air sign. I wasn't sure though if Jupiter would actually impact my Cancer house at all because it doesn't technically rule Cancer, so that's why I'm asking this question. Any clarity on this topic is appreciated 🙏
Some questions about Angularity/ Accidental Dignity.
I'm learning more about accidental dignity and specifically angularity but I have a few questions. I'm confused about how essential dignity and accidental dignity interact. If anyone can explain how the following work in a chart:
Planet in domicile on an angle. This is the most straightforward to me, it's strong and prominent so it's loud and obvious to all.
Planet in domicile in a cadent house. This is where I get tripped up. It's strong by sign but it's muted by house. So how does that play out?
Planet in domicile in a cadent house, but conjunct an angle (in whole sign houses). So a planet in the 9th conjunct the MC or a planet in the 3rd conjunct the IC. How does that change things?
Planet with poor essential dignity but on an angle. Does that mean someone's trial and error with the themes of that planet are obvious to all?
