Which saints are the most venerated among Italian Americans?

Ciao ciao ciao! Italian here! Which saints you would say are the most venerated in the US? Which are the most closely tied to a kind of "domestic" catholicism? And who has the most stories and folktales surrounding them?

Thank you for your time :)

Will I receive news about the book (I am supposed to write)? Horary [astro.com]

Hi! I run a fanclub about an artist and I was offered to collaborate on a book about the artist by a very famous publishing house of my country. As I had already imagined, during the call we had, the editor told me it wasn't sure whether I'd be the one writing it or if I'd just collaborate on it. I've sent them a pitch of how I would write a chapter potentially and I got an email back saying that they're considering every option and she'll let me know when they've come to a decision. It's been three weeks and I still haven't heard from them though their interest and compliments seemed serious. I think during the call I was able to show them I'm not just a "fanatic", but a person who has a grasp on cultural references in the music of the artist...the conversation we had was really nice.

The other night I casted a chart with the question "Will I get news about the book?". I'm a complete beginner in horary, but I'm feeling kinda anxious to know the answer. I'm sorry for the mistakes in advance. Here's my interpretation:

I'm represented by Venus in Virgo, which rules Taurus ascendant. The publishing house is the 10H (or 9H?). The book and the news are 3H and Mercury. I'd also look at 7H for contracts.

Venus in Virgo in 5H makes me think I'll be somewhat central in the project, since the 5H is the house of creativity, they'll probably need me to collect all the details (Virgo) about the artist. However... since the 7H is ruled by Mars and Mars squares Venus from the 2H it makes me think I won't be paid as much as I am wishing, or that I'll need to fight to be well credited?

Mercury is conjunct IC, it is also retrograde and square Saturn (governor of the 9H-10H, so the publishing house), which is probably why the news is being delayed. I feel as if they haven't made any decision yet and they're still talking about it?
And maybe I'll probably know more once Mercury goes back to the same degrees but direct? Also, Saturn (governor of 9 and 10H) and Mars (governor of 7H) are in good aspect, so this agreement is actually happening though the delay?

I'm sorry if this is a messy reading. Thank you in advance for your help!

I don’t know what I like nor my talents anymore [astro.com]

I’ve always loved languages but I’m finding it hard to study them. I love astrology and tarot, but I’m far from being excellent in these arts. I’m good at social media, but I also don’t have a good understanding of marketing. I feel good at different things and at the same time at nothing.

Is there some talents that you see in my birth chart that you think I should invest in? 🥲

[astro.com] my boyfriend lost his wallet. Where is it?

He’s alone abroad and he has lost his wallet and documents. Can you help me find it with horary astrology? 😭😭😭

I’m feeling really stuck and I don’t know what to do with my life

I’m 26 and I still don’t have a direction. After a big university disappointment, I’m still trying to finish my master degree in American Literature at Uni but I’m not sure of what I want to do after this. I’ve changed my mind a thousand times. Right now I’m working as a social media manager but it doesn’t pay really well. I’m feeling really lost and I was wondering if you see any talent in particular in my birth chart. I always thought it was languages, but I’m not so sure anymore. I really don’t enjoy doing things anymore and I spend most days in bed cause I work from home. I’ve started therapy recently and I’m feeling a bit worse actually because a lot of things I was ignoring are coming up again. I don’t know what I like anymore.
Will this get better? What do you think could be my talent that I should invest in? 😭

English is not my first language, so im sorry for any mistake

Is it possible to use astrology and transits to give the best birthday gift?

https://preview.redd.it/mdjk1oh5fmah1.png?width=661&format=png&auto=webp&s=6338f7e793114436d018da9ca0764e09b3e5c5e5

Hii! My friend's birthday is in 3 days and I was wondering something maybe silly lol considering her birth chart and her transits specifically, what would you give her as a birthday present? What is it that she's needing? I'm asking this cause she's been through a tough time (broke up with boyfriend of 5 years) and I'd like to do something to cheer her up

What do you think of Rosalia recent change of look?

It feels like she's slowly abandoning lux/ballecore aesthetics and getting more into sort of post-motomami looks. Do you think she's trying to communicate something with her looks?
Also, I think I saw a pic of her stylist painting the ballet shoes black. I wonder if she's hinting at something?

Da quando sono piccola ho un tic un po' strano all'orecchio

F26.

Ciao! Ho una domanda forse un po' sciocca. Da quando sono piccola ho un tic (o forse faccio stimming?) molto strano che riguarda l'orecchio e che non ho mai visto nessun altro fare. Essenzialmente piego l'orecchio destro su se stesso con il pugno della mano in questo modo: partendo dall'estremità superiore lo ripiego internamente finché non fa un rumore definito come squittìo da chi mi circonda (lol). Ciò che mi piace di questo gesto è sia il rumore che fa, sia la sensazione di "fresco" che sento all'interno dell'orecchio. Ormai lo faccio anche quando sono tranquilla, ma quando sono agitata lo faccio tre-quattro volte di fila.

Mi chiedevo: dal punto di vista psicologico, ha qualche significato?

Io ho iniziato terapia sistemico-relazionale da pochissimo (5-6 sedute) e l'argomento non è ancora uscito.

Chiedo scusa se la domanda è sciocca, ma non riesco a spiegarmi l'origine di questo gesto insolito e mai visto prima.

I need an opinion on this “job synastry”

Hi everyone! I know this is mainly a love synastry subreddit, but I’m very much in need of a work advice. My birth chart is the blue one.

In my free time I run an online community that has a lot of following. The person in red contacted me a few months ago asking me to collaborate on a very interesting creative project that deals with my community in a way.

Based on our career synastry, do you think our collaboration will go well? Should I be aware of anything?
This person can give me a LOT of networking opportunities (and I have proofs of that!) but it all sounds too good to be true.

Thank you so much!

MA Thesis on New York Italian culture

Ciao everyone!!

I’m an Italian student in American Studies, and I posted here some months ago asking whether anyone might be willing to share family keepsakes/memories for my MA thesis project:
https://www.reddit.com/r/italianamerican/comments/1p8dexw/comment/oha2ypd/

Life happened and I had to put the project on hold for a while :( but now I’m finally working on it again, and the topic has evolved a bit.

I’m currently developing a thesis on Italian American identity in New York between the late 19th century and the present, with a particular focus on how ethnic identity has been expressed through:

  • urban space and neighborhood life
  • religious rituals and processions
  • food culture
  • storefronts/signs and everyday visual culture
  • ethnic newspapers
  • and, later on, media/digital spaces (which would of course cover the digital era and are easier to find)

I’m approaching the topic historically, but also through anthropology and cultural/media studies

At the moment I’m searching for primary sources related to Italian American communities in NYC, especially things like:

  • family archives
  • photographs
  • oral histories
  • old newspapers
  • parish documents
  • feast/procession photos
  • menus or store signs
  • neighborhood maps
  • letters/diaries

I would especially appreciate anything authentic and personal, even small memories or objects connected to family/community life. Of course, I would properly credit anything used in the research.

Thank you so much in advance, and thank you again to everyone who helped me the first time I posted here :)
