How did the sages understand their “rulership” over time & other celestial bodies?
Which major lunations define each Jewish holiday?
How is the story of Samson related to the Sun’s detriment in Aquarius?

This Mercury retrograde has afforded me many great opportunities to say I told you so

Despite being a self-proclaimed “yes-and” astrologer, who finds multiple perspectives and nuance informs my approach most commonly, there is one factor I endorse unrelentingly: traditional rulerships
Love the outers as additional context, don’t need them as part of a system that already works!

My Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Moon & MC all ruled by or aspecting Saturn, while Mercury in Sag undermines it all with malefic silliness
Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Apologies if I missed the discourse and we've already been through this, but after Pedro Pascal confirmed his Cancer Asc I immediately thought of Mamdani

This particular book appears to have been commissioned by Benoît Oriol and his wife Anne Marie as a gift for their third child, Antonine.
Given her Libra stellium — Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars — I like to imagine she adored it 💖

Have you ever seen a book made entirely of silk? One item getting a lot of reading room attention recently is this "Livre de Prières." This book was manufactured with the Jacquard process, which relied on perforated punch cards to operate a loom, and is considered a precursor to early programming.

I admit that I do not fully grasp what the knowledge of an ongoing genocide demands of me, but I think if I were not bothered by that question—if I batted it away, like a gnat—it could only be because something essential and irreplaceable had absented itself from my soul.

This is maddening because the unthinking machines don't think, cannot thing. You're not offloading your thinking you're playing madlibs with a see-and-say and you don't know it and *screaming*
What are we losing by offloading our thinking to A.I.?
Why Even Try if You Have A.I.?
As A.I. grows more powerful, we may be more and more tempted to give up in advance and let it figure out things for us. What will we lose as a result?

We’re about to experience the first conjunction of the Moon & Uranus since Uranus entered Gemini!!
The Moon transmits the influence of the other planets to us, so this can be a potent moment for gaining insight into what Uranus is up to in that part of your chart 👀

Haha yes we do ..... but you make me think: what connection do mothers have to the Moon? Is there something cultural to explore here?

It’s a little-known fact that *I* invented bisexuality at the age of 9 during the first season of the X-Files in late Fall 1993 🛸
A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

The Grandchild of Saturn, precocious lover of emotionally heavy narratives, requested a graphic novel be sent to their summer camp — so we sent Fun Home by Alison Bechdel.
My former husband/current roomie just got a letter home that begins,
“Dear Dad, The FUCK is the graphic novel you sent me?!”

Pluto in Aquarius in the past has played a significant role in Jewish history from the 1st Century AD onwards. Occurring every 250 years or so, it is now in place till 2042.
