I feel like I have such bad luck. I’m hyper emotional, always go through waves of feeling defeated vs. feeling motivated. The grief can get so low. I feel confused & sometimes feel like I have my shit together. It’s such emotional whiplash.
Here's what I wrote for the Libra New Moon. I'll be at my computer watching football and doing astrology stuff if anyone wants to chat for a bit.
The Libra New Moon is very special. Not only is it the first New Moon after the fall equinox, it also occurs during one of the holiest months of the ancient calendar. According to my Bible, Numbers 10:10 and elsewhere, Moses along with the rest of God’s people are told to sacrifice a certain amount of goats, grain, and wine on every New Moon. What makes this particular alignment special is that the scriptures also mention many special ceremonies taking place within the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, Tishrei. The first and second days are known as Rosh Hashanah and begin the ten days of atonement. Yom Kippur marks the finale where individuals seek spiritual purification and repentance through fasting, prayer, and rest. Although it’s one of the most sacred days in Judaism, not many people outside the culture recognize the significance of it. Now that you know, maybe you can incorporate it into your own personal beliefs. It’s always beneficial to take some time to meditate on situations where you need to forgive and not necessarily forget, but move on and not be angry anymore. Also remember how you treat yourself poorly and what you can do towards individual forgiveness yourself as well. Most importantly, think about how people might need to forgive you for what you did for them.
My favorite thing about this phase is its correlation with the salmon run in my local fishing holes. Animals use the Moon alignments as triggers in their migration patterns and I’ve definitely noticed it as I’m waist deep in the river. I also associate it with yearly harvest. In my part of the world we’re approaching the final stages of the growing season and reaping the rewards of our labor. It’s a time for gathering, socializing, and celebrating the fruits and vegetables that are going to sustain us over the winter. Gather up all those zucchini and squash you don’t need, get together with all your friends who have a bunch of radishes and green beans they don’t need, and have a veggie party. More individually, meditate on your successes and failures over the last three months. Recognize how you should have planted your corn in a different spot and figure out how to do things better next year. Whether it’s an actual garden or not, breakdown what solves more problems and expenses than it causes and what doesn’t. Make an effort to remove all those useless philosophies or toxic individuals restricting your growth. In the material world it’s a great time to beautify your appearance or surroundings. Libra is ruled by Venus and loves a lavish environment. Spending something extra is OK as long as what you’re purchasing has some sense of responsibility behind it. Things like vacations and expensive meals can be fun in the moment, but three months later they’re simply a distant memory. Home improvements and structural maintenance might be kinda boring but they always need to be a priority. Consider upgrades or updates to things like your heating or cooling systems. No matter where you are in the world, the seasons are changing and extreme weather is ahead. If you’re lost for ideas, refer to your natal chart and see whatever house this alignment is occurring in. Improve that area of your life and be content with it. There are 1000 different ways you can use your resources and you need to recognize a balance between what can and can’t be accomplished.
Hey guys, what natal placements or aspects indicate schizophrenia in a chart? I'm looking at my sister's chart, she got diagnosed when she was 19 (she's now 41). Kinda want to see if her chart has these placements and what sort of transits activated it
I'm unemployed and want to know what to avoid. so far all jobs have been kind of miserable so idk. finding a job is so hard I just need some money
The longer i look the worse it gets, and obviously it was way worse for Ken because he's ☠️, but this chart is nuts.
Venus stopped and turned retrograde this morning at 8° Scorpio and she will stay that way until November 13. If you\ve felt a little off, quieter, or strangely emotional the last few days, that's the slowdown before the station and it's completely normal.
Scorpio is not Venus's favorite place to be. She is in her detriment here which means she wants closeness and honesty and doesn't always know how to ask for it. Expect old feelings, old texts and old versions of people to resurface along with some uncomfortable questions about what you're actually getting in your relationships and what you're willing to keep giving. On October 25 she backs into Libra and the second half of the retrograde gets softer and more about rebalancing.
One more thing to know is that Mercury joins her in retrograde on October 24, so late October is a double review of love, money and communication. Try not to make big decisions about a relationship, a major purchase or a new look before this is over. It's a much better time to ask where you've been undervaluing yourself so you can adjust before Venus goes direct.
Taurus and Libra, you'll feel this the most because Venus is your ruler. Anyone with planets or angles around 22° Libra to 8° Scorpio will feel it personally, so check your chart for that stretch.
Venus retrograde is a good time to book a reading with your astrologer if you want clarity on love, money or where your life is heading
I'm still learning the houses and the 11th always stumps me. i have so much in there but i just don't understand it. Initially i thought it was because Aquarius is in there and i always think of Aquarius as being apart from the crowd and fiercely independent, but I've read also that Aquarius is at home in the 11th.
Anything else fun you can tell me, especially about love, would also be wonderful
(P.S. I did try the whole house system to see if anything changed but all it did was change my north node to my 2nd house which felt less right to me than 1st)
