it's trueee

no LITERALLY

like we cannot even BEGIN to talk about astrology we first need to talk about why you think you personally are MaNiFeStInG this rn, becky

but also why that's actually true to an extent and valid but not in the way you think and you're doing it wrong? idk, it's complicated, becky

this is why I mostly don't talk about astrology to the uninitiated, it's just .......... that's too much for a conversation man lmao

it strikes at the heart of the nature of reality and free will and purpose and existence which is EVERYTHING which is why people are so god damn weird about it lol

my big thing w/ astrology is it's never actually about astrology, it's about people's hopes and dreams and fears and beliefs about what god thinks of them and what they can/cannot control

ficino’s de vita, or, “how to be thoughtful without wanting to kys”

you miss 100% of the shots you don't see

thoughtfulness is a saturnian quality

sometimes all you need is one single good moment to really stretch out your soul, real deep

this is the little slice we occupy in the life, which is already so much for our minds and selves. and there is so much out there outside of ourselves, infinitely and absolutely constellated by the interlocking and rotating mechanism that is the chart, depositing lives day by day by day, forever

I used to take this as a tragic fate, evidence you could never truly connect or find the right person, but you of course can. the harmony and the confluence is enough, and finding the right tangle is worth all the time and effort in this gods-forgetting world. but it's also the infinite beauty of it

you and I will have experiences that never overlap in this lifetime. the things you experience by the infinitely fractal yet impossibly subdivided 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯--which is, to 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘸 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦--exist so deeply within the structure of your experience I will never be able to access it. not 100%.

I've been working on this essay, "Everything Exists". WIP, but the embodied sense I can't put into the essay (or maybe I will) is this emphasis of how, HOW big the world is, and how the rich and infinite slice we occupy is the expression of that individual moment of divinity inspiring itself

the chart is the foundation of the life, the spirit, the moment. it's how you think and feel, what you *don't* think and feel. you know that moment where you're like "wow, I can't even remotely relate to that experience?" that's YOUR chart speaking to the diversity of the world.

sometimes I try to sense-visualize how fast modern computers can do calculations and it gives me anxiety trying to imagine how it would feel to do anything that fast

what even is a thought? a nasty little thing, coming from nowhere, trying to start trouble

we must rotate the prism

I just wanted to share this nugget of wisdom I found

a singular floating chicken nugget in a transparent png

the sun is nouns and the moon is verbs

in terms of hijacking I think it depends what house(s)/signs the event occupies? like individual aversions to the thing, as well as overcoming aspects for the natural significators perhaps (like one partner's Mars pins/dominates the other one for ex)

I've definitely heard it's A Thing that if you couple with someone closely you inevitably become their L7/L5/whatever significator and that their chart impacts you in a way it wouldn't otherwise because you are literally in their fate sphere (so to speak)

software engineers don't believe in Mercury retrograde, but vibe coders do

omg yes!! that's so cool and I'm glad we could help 🥲

It was SO fun to come on @kiraryberg.bsky.social iconic podcast and talk about our FAVORITE topic!! I think we did a great job boiling down a very nuanced and complex technique, so if you're into zodiacal releasing or curious to learn about it do give this ep a listen 💜
