Interesting personal astrology discovery: My son’s ( 👼🏾 ) secondary progressions align with transits/aspects in my own chart in a way that’s kind of shocked me.

Have other parents looked at their child’s secondary progressions compared to their natal chart?

I’ve thought of doing something like this more consistently but holy hell the work that went into it was insane.
Making a zodiac column in Hawaiian as one of the last ones of my Bachelors program. I’m fusing Hawaiian moon phases with Hellenistic studies.

Fun fact: Uranus is Herschel (a transliteration: Herekela) in Hawaiian which gives us a really interesting language artifact.

Searching for an astrologer to help me navigate into this post-Saturn Return!

Feel like I should note that I have a mars Saturn conjunction in the 6h and moon in the 8H so it gets deep and heavy pretty fast with me 😅 Not trying to trauma dump on my astrologer but your girls been thru some shit so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hairstylist things: winning a giveaway for “guess how many hairs I collected from my comb in a month” (she’s a hair jewelry artist/anthropologist)

My guess for the month of October was 2347– it was 2364!

Don’t ask me how many jelly beans are in a jar but I got this one

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Horary chart for “Will the record shop buy all of my records and CDs?”

What on earth! This eclipse in my 12h was me ripping a toenail off in the dark. The craziest part is I ripped a toenail off the OTHER foot (same toe) three months ago. Whaaaaattttt is this

Ivy articulated this so well. This is essentially part of what I be so afraid of when people first get into astrology beyond a sun sign ; I’ve seen people online who’ve fallen down the rabbit hole and it isn’t pretty.

Follow Ivy Underwood on TikTok btw they’re dropping gems!

This is (roughly) the chart for the White House TikTok account. Which is interesting considering TikTok is supposed to be banned in the U.S. in a few weeks…

I say roughly because this is based on me just looking at their first TikTok that said “published 9 hours ago”.

Seeing my name on a degree written in Hawaiian Language as a first-gen college student is an amazing feeling.

Missing Astro Twitter hard today but I nuked my account because I refuse to be on a platform owned by a literal NAZl

To my non-English speaking astrologers: what words do you use to define squares or trines? Is it a literal term for the angle or a symbolic one?

“Huina kūpono” is a square ▪️in Hawaiian but I’d love a more poetic description

Not only am I learning this language but the language for astrology things (opposition/conjuction etc) doesn’t really exist so I had to talk about oppositions as planets opposed face to face. Conjunctions the planets are grouped together in a meeting.

One of the fun things I got to do while writing my Zodiaka article is figuring out how to convey the different speeds of the planets.

Moon: running
Sun: walking
Mercury/Mars: Running, walking, sitting
Jupiter/Saturn: walking, sitting
The Outers: drifting, wandering, sitting, floating

Found the official date for the approval of my adoption and the Chiron synastry was pretty crazy to me.
