I'm so sorry I completely forgot to reply to this! this week has been a rollercoaster, and not a fun one 🙃 this was what I'd found, and boy oh boy did this manifest! even right now, I realise I'm working through stuff with the combined energy of these three. I had to really sit with the Two of Air —

oh buddy 🫂 I'm on a much-needed first vacation of my life ever and have been largely off-internet, but I saw this a couple of months ago and had saved it.

I'd been a bit confused with this part on Dabarān (⭐ Aldebaran) but rereading it tonight, I thought, the city is in the country but the country isn't the city? the planet is in their orb but the orb isn't the planet? @shulyrose.com am I on the right track?

I approach gardening as works of art (i.e., magick), as much as painting/writing, etc.

Companion planting = crafting wild shrines, nurturing + engaging with the flora spiritually & socially as much as physically.

Rewilding = ecological amendment & earthwork.

"Quality control: ♍ II" 🕸️

Hmm! Sounds right. My guides have repeated to me the same Eight + Nine of Pentacles message. I might have a fair few skills, but I'd better get to the Work.

The last ♋ Jupiter era had been one of silent and intensive psycho-spiritual study for me, too.

today's Lunar epiphany: being a nonbinary femme trained as a cis woman in late '90s-early '00s, with my rejoicing Moon and affinity for Arkady Leokum's Tell Me Why books and glossy-papered English picture dictionaries, and how scrapbooking and journaling can be vehicles of cultural imperialism —

current mood: Venus and Saturn, the underrated power duo of the sky, and the gravitative metamorphic brilliance of the Earth

Vega was conj. the IC when I began this. Fucked up the scaled placement of the stars here; but the great thing about learning under the stars, I've found, is that you're allowed to fumble and be imprecise. Learning to fail and resurge with grace is such a challenge, and a mercy.

I found Sirius glimmering in the west-southwest tonight, alone in a rather overcast sky ramping up the humidity. Felt like they'd like to be included here.

Checked the chart for when I began drawing this, and what do you know? Sirius was two degrees off from the ASC.

I get that the US is supposed to be vested with great responsibility as a global superpower, etc., but these posts seem so... laughable to me?

Don't get me wrong: I understand the sentiment here. But the subtext is insidiously racist, and the people who post and repost really oblivious to it.

I was too sick, too tired the last two days to do this, but I decided to really get down to it this morning. And I'm glad I did.

I could use some words re: The Hermit?

I was referring to this one!

folks, I've wondered I'm somewhere on the spectrum a while ago, should I get a, y'know... an actual diagnosis??

I don't love having my nose to the grindstone. (Who does?!) But I do love building a world together with and for my loves.

Sustenance for myself so I live to see another spring as beautiful as this one, if not more so. Shared resources with and gifts for my friends: the humans I laugh and cry and love with, the other-than-human kin that tell me stories and give us strength.

I get dispirited when I remember that my professional writing has become mostly an effort to make money these days. It's hard to truly enjoy anything with so much pressure on.

But then I think about why I need that dough.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender ~

(I'd written a 5k-word essay three years ago about gender in this film + Wong Kar-Wai's filmography; but these two continue to live rent-free in my head.)

I am, in the words of the extraordinary @ddamascenaa.bsky.social , literally a Devotion Bitchᵀᴹ

One useful way of not letting perfectionism impede my creativity, I've found, is reminding myself that I'm only scrambling for perfection because I don't yet know what I personally want to see. And until I've figured it out, I'm allowed to wreck things a bit.

Right the next morning after this Antares-led epiphany, I found the chili pepper that I'd left on the plant to ripen, and been awaiting for weeks on end, has taken on a streak of bright vermilion within the rich toothsome green. This morning, I found it's ripened all the way.

Let's get to know each other! Quote with a selfie and the lord of your Ascendant.

The Sun in Libra 3H, hours until a total eclipse, separating from Spica 🙃

I think this might be the only selfie I have that I actually like? (Not great at selfies, lol. And no makeup here, just eyeliner & lipstick.)
