Happy Leo Season! 📸🌻👑❤️‍🩹🔆
Detail of a multicolored zodiac mosaic on the floor of Hammath Tiberias Synagogue in Israel, focused on the sign Leo. A rampant lion facing right is seen below Hebrew text in the upper left corner: אריה Leo (literally "lion"). The lion's mouth is open and its front teeth can be seen. Its four legs are visible, and its tail is curled up to meet the last Hebrew letter. The panel is framed on four sides by a blue and red twisted ribbon forming spaced circles.

when you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to
Detail of two astrological charts in a biwheel, with the poster's natal chart on the inner wheel and current transits on the outer wheel. The natal Descendant is at 12º Libra 08', and natal Moon at 15º Virgo 37' in the 6th house. Transiting Mars at 21º Virgo 08' is separating from a conjunction with the natal Moon, and the transiting South Node at 19º Virgo 20' is applying to a conjunction with the natal Moon by retrograde motion.

Hashem asking my jobless ass the tough questions via a card I took off the table at NORWAC 2023 that suddenly resurfaced as the junk guys cleared my living room 💀

Libra risings, have you been plotting shifts in your professional life? Jupiter is here to open doors for you — but since he also represents your stress, you'll have to be careful to avoid burnout. ⚡️💼⚡️

Cancer risings: Jupiter is here to shake things up! ⚡️🦀⚡️

There is a lot of deliciousness available to all of us during his time in his exaltation, but if Jupiter transits tend to feel like mixed bags, it's not just you: in your chart, he represents (among other things) physical and emotional stress.

I spent so long with my eyes closed waiting before taking the screenshot, and ended up with the card for the decan of the ASC + 1H stellium of the chart I'm asking about 😅

You can’t tell from this angle but it had a train that bustled 🤣🤣🤣

[Moon-Chiron, Moon–Uranus, Moon–Pluto, Moon in 6th house, ruler of the 10th combust in the 8th on the South Node, ruler of the 10th = ruler of the 12th in quadrant]

The mother is wearing an ivory gown with a beaded bodice and a train, which is functionally indistinguishable from a wedding gown.

Bills’ rulership book has been highly recommended to me as a resource for a while, so I finally bought it at NORWAC this year. I just opened it and saw the concept of Sabbath associated with the SUN. Can someone explain this to me? What about the Sun is related to sabbath more than 🪐?
The first page of the S section from Rex Bills’ The Rulership Book. The first line on the first column reads “Sabbath,” with the glyph for the Sun next to it.

One of my favorite things about NORWAC is my ability manifest the exact used book I need to have based on my current research

Last year it was a table of houses for Regiomontanus, and this year it’s the Jewish astrology text I need to expand upon my intro to Jewish astrology talk 🖤
The book “To Rule Both Day and Night: Astrology in the Bible, Midrash, and Talmud” by Rabbi Joel C. Dobin. The cover features a depiction of a man in robes, possible Abraham or Moses, raising his left arm in front of an image of the zodiac with the sign names in Hebrew

It’s Gemini season!
Detail of an Ashkenazi Torah wimple from France, 1796. Image of a pair of nude figures, one with breasts, who resemble the biblical Adam and Eve. Above them, in Hebrew, reads, “Mazal Teumim,” “the sign of the twins”

I had a wonderful time conducting and sharing this research/text study! It was a privilege to be invited.

(Thank you @westardere.bsky.social for giving me the encouragement I needed to spend an hour standing at the front of the room, ask for more, and then accept it when they said yes 🖤)

Shabbat Shalom!
Shabath-Shalom שבת שלום. Sgan-Cohen, Michael (painter, 1944-1999). The figure of a bearded naked man covered by a filmy white transparent cloth and wearing a skullcap, depicted in black outlines, is seated at the center of the picture on brown ground. He faces front and his right leg resting on the ground is bent at the knee. His left leg is folded under him so as to partly conceal his thigh and loins. His left hand rests on his ankle, his palm facing upwards in a cupped gesture. His right hand is held facing the viewer with the elbow on the right thigh. The entire hand except for the thumb is covered by a tuquoise "Hamsa" charm with an eye in profile at the center. A black dot is painted below the Hamsa. A balloon signifying speech is situated just above the Hamsa enclosing a Hebrew word written in it in Setam style in black, block letters: שלום "Peace" (also "Hello"). A musical note depicted directly below his left foot encloses a form resembling an eye, a fish, and the Hebrew letter "Ayin." A Hebrew word is written in large black cursive letters in the foreground, below the man: שבת "Sabbath (Saturday)." A band of black and white vertical bars with a blue zig-zag line superimposed over them is set beneath the word. A white sky with blue clouds on the periphery is in the background and a yellow planet, perhaps Saturn, is set to the right of the man. A yellow geometrical form with unstretching lines is set above the man on the right.
