is this a real date on this pendant? or have any significance?

i stole this from my dads stuff when i was really little. im a july cancer and hes a june cancer, so i figured thats why he had it and thats why i was drawn to it. hes not in my life anymore so i cant ask him abt it, and my mom wouldnt kno anything abt it.

i just wanna know if this is a real date, or why it would be on this thing. if u look closely the sun is in gemini, only the mars is in cancer. i wonder if this is just the kind of thing they make for suckers who dont know astrology, and they just threw a random scattering of planets on 🤔

heres the planets in case its hard to see: sun in gemini moon in virgo mars in cancer (honestly looks like cusp w leo) mercury in capricorn venus in libra jupiter in sagittarius saturn in aries

since theres no generational planets, i wonder if it might be really old? i probably nabbed this around 2007. my dad was born in 1970.

why is the chariot associated with cancer in the zodiac?

i havent really learned about decans yet. and im not sure if this should go in a tarot sub or an astrology sub 😅 but i dont see how the chariot applies to cancer at all? i have a lot of cancer placements and ive known some other cancers and i cant say we're particularly good at directing our drive...

how do you view 6 of wands?

ive been asking a lot of future/ career/ project related questions lately, and ive seen 6 of wands a handful of times now. im just a bit confused, bc ive asked questions with completely different frames of mind and he seems to represent opposite things. i cant tell if my personal bias is getting in the way.

for instance i recently asked what would help with my procrastination to do the projects i have planned. in context for my life, ive been getting busier with some commitments to my house and family, and in my free time i want to work on my projects, but instead i keep finding excuses not to do it, and do other things instead. when i saw 6 of wands, i assumed it was telling me that i wasnt acknowledging how many good things ive made already, and that my urgency to make something good was conflicting with some inner pessimism. i havent actually finished a whole lot of my projects, but i really want to, and i know that when ive seen my works through to the end ill be really proud of them. before this question i had asked whats causing my procrastination, and i received 3 of swords reversed and 4 of wands reversed, but i hadnt thought that i was wounded or pessimistic at all about my work, just constantly delayed and distracted.

in an earlier reading, (i cant remember what i asked unfortunately) i was excited about my career plans, and the 6 of wands seemed to be telling me that i was clouded with overconfidence. i was asking about how the general public would feel about my work, and pulled some cards that werent what i wanted to hear, but i may have taken it a little too personally bc i couldnt tell if i was given the answer to my question or cards that reflected my state of mind. i wonder now if it was just telling me that first i must accomplish what i want to begin with.

as for the other times ive seen him, they were also related to career, or meeting people who might connect with me in the future. but im still having doubts about whether hes trying to say i will be appreciated for my work, or if hes just telling me to focus on my work, or if hes saying im too confident in my talents and its stopping me from committing and practicing. i feel very fired up about my future lately, and i want to practice and work hard and do things right. but some part of my brain is telling me i have to get everything else in order first 🤔

snacks that arent cold/wet?

this may be a strange request lol. im not a very imaginative eater, and when i try to find like lists of snacks that are low carb theyre always just vegetables and berries. i have sensitive teeth and i have a little sensory aversion to foods that are wet, or make my hands wet (like if i have to rinse them). so i find myself struggling to stick to keto, bc even tho im pretty satisfied with cooking keto meals, if im hungry or snackish in between meals i still gravitate to pretzels or crave chips or crackers. id like some ideas for salty/ crunchy keto snacks that arent just nuts. like if there are any vegetable based chips that arent just potato chips with veggie powder 😑 or recipes for batches of keto snacks i can make and store easily. thanks in advance, im sure theres lots of obvious answers im missing...

favorite foods and dominant signs

im really curious if theres any correlation to the foods we are compelled to eat and the prominent signs in our charts. stelliums, chart rulers in 1st, and planets conjunct the asc are the kinds of charts id like input from ! but i feel rising sign would be most important, right? maybe theres some school of astrology already relating to this 😅 but i thought this would be a fun discussion.

i have a cancer stellium in my 1st house (asc and moon included). i really love vinegary foods, cheesy and carby, and salty. i like sweets like cakes and cookies, but i dont always crave sweets (ive got super sensitive teeth!). i cant resist salt and vinegar chips... but on the healthy side i could eat a hearty stew for every meal tbh.

i know that the chart ruler is supposed to be the ruler of the sign that the ascendant is in, but does a planet on the ascendant factor in at all? or does it become the dominant planet maybe? or is it completely a plain normal aspect like any other conjuction?

ive looked over my chart a LOT at this point. i thought id post it here in case anybody knows indicators n stuff that i dont. basically i just want another perspective. why do u think i was born with all this cancer energy in my 1st house? am i meant to do something with it? or am i meant to become something more than a nurturer, as i feel compelled to become an artist and focus more on myself 🤔

it seems like ive got really low chances of establishing myself in the world tho, which is really discouraging. i want to live aligned with my purpose, but i also want to be more than just a shoulder to cry on. i want to make a large scale difference for the better, and the more i analyze it the less sure i am about what my 1st house wants from me.

id like to read something thrilling with an agonizing werewolf transformation, like the movie Ginger Snaps

im usually a vampire girlie so i want to expose myself to the hard edge of werewolves, especially if they represent something specific (moreso than just a puberty metaphor). ive never found werewolves scary so if theres something close to scary out there id love to read it!! or classic level, like dracula.

i dont want a combination or anything, but i really love A Fever You Cant Sweat Out by panic at the disco, and Hybrid Theory by linkin park. ive always considered these 2 albums to pretty much be their own genres, cause ive never found anything that sounds like they do. the subjects, instruments, techniques, are so cool for both. and in both cases the bands have other albums but they just dont scratch the same itch. anything out there that does?

my friend really likes androgynous male characters (like in jojos bizarre adventure, and some from metal gear solid) and i want to recommend her some stuff that has tough androgynous female characters, or just very bad ass / buff looking women. i dont have any examples myself. most of the badass women i know in media are still really feminine or have like no muscles.

any media, i just want some ideas.
