My heart is SO full after experiencing it, there indeed is nothing else like it. We got to spend some time celebrating w partner’s extended family as well so not only was it like a special reconnection with our Southern roots, it truly did feel like just everyone from everywhere coming together! 💗

Loved seeing Sedna, Osiris, Persephone, Oya, Ēostre, Quetzalcoatl, Taliesin and a bunch of others too (and getting some of their beads)!!

+ Thoth at his titular parade ofc

What a time!

My first time ever celebrating Mardi Gras too, we had been hoping/planning to go together for ages

So many specific little things had to align for this

Could genuinely not have conceived a better start to my official Saturn return and this eclipse in my 12H (!). Feeling so loved by Goddess 🥹

Picture I captured of the large Inanna bust at the front of the float. She’s in her full regalia colored in bright yellow/gold and blue, wearing her steppe headdress and holding her reed bundles/symbols aloft, wings behind her.

Another picture of the Inanna float of the front from a short distance—a crescent moon can be seen above her head, with palm-like plumes all around (there’s lions on the side of the float that unfortunately cannot be seen as clearly).

The Inanna gold bead pendant the Krewe threw out from her float held out to the camera. The pendant has an image of Inanna in her traditional reed-holding pose and reads “Rex 2026” and is held next to an additional pendant of the moon I caught from a float for the “Moon Phases”…. another WILD eclipse synchronicity

They had an INANNA float.
Y’all.

I LOST my MIND!!!

Glowing real hard thinking abt our NOLA (the beloved’s hometown) trip the past week for Mardi Gras. On Mardi Gras proper—the DAY of the Aqua solar eclipse, mind you—they had a rebirth & renewal theme at Rex

So a focus on gods/myths/symbols/legends w rebirth & transformation themes

And……

When you have….

Detriment Saturn
Detriment Mars
Detriment Mercury
Fallen Venus

…“your way” can look different from others and learning how to trust that difference and work with it as opposed to against it can have wonderful results. Her skating is incredible and she stands out above the rest!

Solar Eclipse in Aquarius

Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

It’s eclipse season…again 🐍

The reason why you’re seeing so many Saturn in Aries natives say to bring on their Saturn return and how they dgaf/are ready for the challenge anyway IS bc… we’re Saturn in Aries natives lmao

Neptune settles into Aries for the next 13 years! An era of the spiritualization of being. To exist is spiritual. Identity is spiritual. Our resistance and innovation and revolution is spiritual. 1/

Just a heads up:

Neptune enters Aries for good today.
The last time Neptune entered Aries in this way was on April 13th, 1861, the day after the American Civil War began.

Today is the new moon in Capricorn, happening at the very end of the sign before we begin Aquarius season. This new moon culminates in an area of the zodiac that has been tremendously active these last few weeks, as Venus+Mars met the Sun here, with Mercury hot on their heels and Jupiter opposing 1/

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME KIR ❤️

astrologers are in the unenviable position of studying a real system that was produced thousands of years ago, cannot actually be demonstrated in satisfying numerical way, requires deep familiarity with history and spirituality *and* sound thinking, and absolutely cannot be explained easily to most

one of my favorite topics: exploring the messy, intricate reasons why it's not worth treating astrology as a replicable phenomenon to be proven or disproven

though this thread is more expansive than that

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

A picture of David Lynch lighting up a cigarette in the front seat of a car while in the background a house burns down This is a meme, and over David Lynch I have written “ Libre season 2025 and every Taurus dominant, Libra dominant, and Venusian you know” Over the burning house I have written “ Virgo Venus, in it’s fall, Virgo Venus conjunct the south node, Virgo Venus opposite Saturn, and libra Venus opposite Neptune”

Happy Libra season! May the Jupiter-ruled third decan of Libra AND Libra Venus treat us better!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day, and a big fuck you to all colonizers both in practice and in spirit.

"make art for urself!" completely neglects the fact that beauty, the desiring direction of art, isn't an institutionally quantifiable object.

Beauty gains and brings joy the more it's shared, the more people join in to say, "oh I love this, this is how it makes me feel". bc life is relational.

In art the flaws are what give pieces soul....
Why should people be any different?

I think Thoth looks the best in blue

i think astrologers who were able to easily recognize the beauty and function of astrology remember the eternal beauty their souls witnessed before they incarnated. this is mentioned in Plato's Phaedrus. your soul remembers, it recognizes it, and it yearns to return to such beauty.

The two weeks between eclipses always got some spice in it.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

Friendly reminder from your local Saturn-as-functional-benefic astrologer: Saturn is associated with the marginalized, including disabled people, and MANY people who are in the divinatory arts (astrology, tarot, etc.) are disabled. Saturn is deeply misunderstood but a very valuable ally.

Mystics must always be ready to abandon their high contemplation, their mystical silence, in order to give bread to the hungry.
