I'm very depressed with Saturn stationing square to my Sun, so I'm trying to catch up on podcasts today while I lump around & noticed this. Also, shout out to @kiraryberg.bsky.social and @libramoongal.bsky.social for the Leo-Aqua Threads of Fate ep from a Leo/Aqua nodes/Leo LOF person. Gems on gems.

A portait picture of Chris Brennan, a white bald man in a black shirt, smiling. A bookcase is visible behind him.

I'm amused by the two different headshots used by CB for the Astrology Podcast thumbnails. I think these would make a really funny meme format. "When your new coworker says they love astrology & then send you their Co-Star chart:" type thing.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

hey, bumping this right now. this has been the most poor ive been through all of 2025. i cant force you to do anything, just take this seriously.

Very ornate handwriting in black pen on a white page reads "have a great summer, sincerely, [illegible text], Cameron C Langford"

Also I had such a crush on this guy & his fancy old-timey handwriting, Mercurial/Venus-Saturn things.

Blue printed handwriting on the white page of a yearbook liner reads "Hey, even though sometimes you may have freaked me out you still were a great friend, have a great summer".

Staying at my mom's for a few days which means I found my old yearbooks. I'm pretty sure most of my current friends would concur with this statement.

Every Libra rising is Like That because the little Mercurial devils of their 12th are constantly in their ear about every mistake they've ever made & all of their shortcomings. Saturn can definitely crush you with pressures, but Mercury can make you take yourself apart.

House of self-undoing for real. Just absolute ruminators and spiralers dream. "Nobody likes me, everyone hates me, guess I'll go eat worms" house. Get me out of here.

I was going to post about how much an eclipse in your 12th sucks when you're in a 12H yr to boot but then bsky ate it so this is a memorial for that post. Why can't I be sent on vacation for my nervous condition anymore. Fraudulent society.

Natural unfolding, and yes pls DM!

I have two timed wedding charts (license signature & "I do"/ceremony conclusion) & would love to chat :)

A large filet crochet wall hanging is suspended from a long wooden dowel, with a metallic fabric banner behind it for contrast. The wall hanging has the words made anew on it, with a simplified version of the transgender symbol in the middle.

Proof of life: thing I finished up tonight to submit for an art show about sacred spaces. One of the banners I would hang in my big trans church if I had one. 36 in x 48 in so I really gotta figure out a good way to store it until it finds a new home.

IDK your religious tradition but for my current job I was praying to St Jude as the patron of desperate causes & St Joseph as the patron of workers for about a week after my final interview, asking for them to give me favor in the minds & hearts of the hiring managers.

"Right Time of the Night" is clearly a song about electing when to fuck, but I'm not sure what the magical purpose of either a waxing or waning quarter Moon aligned with the Milky Way (let's say the Galactic Center in late Sag) would be.

SILENT AUCTION: Please repost!

i am holding a silent auction of these two malas for charity or mutual aid benefiting the trans community. they will go to the highest bidder as of dawn on sunday 7/13. please read below for auction details and information about each mala.

The funniest thing is that my partner has Jupiter in Pisces about the same degree, ruling their 7th, & they were the one to actually do the gross work of dumping out the drain trap & fishing out my chain.. which was then cleaned again and NOT dropped.

I'm so tickled by the astrology microcosm today. I was cleaning the chain for my @goodsigil.bsky.social Pisces Jupiter talisman & with the Scorpio Moon applying within a degree to the talisman's moon, the chain slipped down my bathroom drain & required dismantling the trap to retrieve.

Yeah also this, consistent effort at developing/improving competence/skill is a very appealing quality.

I aspire to even 50% of your level of general Particularity/Refinement though. It's very.. soothing? encouraging? to see someone give so much of a damn about the smallest elements of many things & understand that it is possible to have that level of patience & motivation.

Ohhhh that sounds REALLY good!!

I appreciate your tea-posting and dedication to tea science as someone who generally only drinks sweet iced tea when I do have it. It's kind of like watching people play sports, I appreciate the skill set as an onlooker & marvel at the variety of activities humans engage in.

Spouse is a Cap Moon & oldest child, I am a Cap IC/4H with Saturn there & younger of two, but with a 7 year difference between me & older sibling. I was also kind of a parent to my mom & had a lot of exposure to older people growing up, though.
