On an individual scale and political scale:

At some point you're gonna get tired of telling people your predictions and how certain patterns work and just let them touch the hot burning stove to learn the lesson

"They who have an ear, let them hear"

I don't think heaven and hell [on earth] means what a lot of people think it means.

I keep thinking about the symbolism of the tower of babel

Those who learned the lesson early saved themselves from investing more resources

Those who realize too late will be inside and nearby the tower as it collapses again.

There's way too many beings that symbolize karma and death coming up to me right now that are having me, "observe, don't absorb, just listen, and when I say move.... move!"

Real astrologers understand that we all have our unique beliefs and systems, and none is inherently superior to the other. I practice Western astrology, and one of my online friends practices Vedic astrology. We often share insights, exchange ideas, and enrich each other’s perspectives through mutual respect. Why? Because a true astrologer values the diversity of thought and approaches within our field.

Unfortunately, I’ve noticed some individuals in the community attacking others interpretations. This has happened to me and to other Western astrologers, particularly in discussions about Pluto’s transit. This kind of behavior does not reflect the heart of astrological practice, which thrives on curiosity, open-mindedness, and growth.

Here’s an example of what mutual respect looks like in astrology: my friend Brandy Chrisman shared her Vedic perspective on Pluto’s transit, and it added depth to my own understanding of what’s happening energetically. This is what it means to support one another and learn from different approaches.

A real astrologer uplifts, respects, and learns from others unless the work is truly harmful. Let’s keep astrology a space for insight, not division.

Need to post this early and often:

Rebecca Helm, a biologist and an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina, Asheville US writes:

I see a lot of people are talking about biological s*xes and gender right now. Lots of folks make biological s*x seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about s*x...[a thread]

If you know a bit about biology you will probably say that biological s*x is caused by chromosomes, XX and you’re female, XY and you’re male. This is “chromosomal s*x” but is it “biological s*x”? Well...

Turns out there is only ONE GENE on the Y chromosome that really matters to s*x. It’s called the SRY gene. During human embryonic development the SRY protein turns on male-associated genes. Having an SRY gene makes you “genetically male”. But is this “biological s*x”?

Sometimes that SRY gene pops off the Y chromosome and over to an X chromosome. Surprise! So now you’ve got an X with an SRY and a Y without an SRY. What does this mean?

A Y with no SRY means physically you’re female, chromosomally you’re male (XY) and genetically you’re female (no SRY). An X with an SRY means you’re physically male, chromsomally female (XX) and genetically male (SRY). But biological s*x is simple! There must be another answer...

Sex-related genes ultimately turn on hormones in specifics areas on the body, and reception of those hormones by cells throughout the body. Is this the root of “biological s*x”??

“Hormonal male” means you produce ‘normal’ levels of male-associated hormones. Except some percentage of females will have higher levels of ‘male’ hormones than some percentage of males. Ditto ditto ‘female’ hormones. And...
..if you’re developing, your body may not produce enough hormones for your genetic s*x. Leading you to be genetically male or female, chromosomally male or female, hormonally non-binary, and physically non-binary. Well, except cells have something to say about this...

Maybe cells are the answer to “biological s*x”?? Right?? Cells have receptors that “hear” the signal from s*x hormones. But sometimes those receptors don’t work. Like a mobile phone that’s on “do not disturb’. Call and cell, they will not answer.

What does this all mean?

It means you may be genetically male or female, chromosomally male or female, hormonally male/female/non-binary, with cells that may or may not hear the male/female/non-binary call, and all this leading to a body that can be male/non-binary/female.

Try out some combinations for yourself. Notice how confusing it gets? Can you point to what the absolute cause of biological s*x is? Is it fair to judge people by it?

Of course you could try appealing to the numbers. “Most people are either male or female” you say. Except that as a biologist professor I will tell you...

The reason I don’t have my students look at their own chromosome in class is because people could learn that their chromosomal s*x doesn’t match their physical s*x, and learning that in the middle of a 10-point assignment is JUST NOT THE TIME.

Biological s*x is complicated. Before you discriminate against someone on the basis of “biological s*x” & identity, ask yourself: have you seen YOUR chromosomes? Do you know the genes of the people you love? The hormones of the people you work with? The state of their cells?

Since the answer will obviously be no, please be kind, respect people’s right to tell you who they are, and remember that you don’t have all the answers. Again: biology is complicated. Kindness and respect don’t have to be.

Note: Biological classifications exist. XX, XY, XXY XXYY and all manner of variation which is why s*x isn't classified as binary. You can't have a binary classification system with more than two configurations even if two of those configurations are more common than others.

Biology is a sh*tshow. Be kind to people.

Performative happiness is delusional

But if you prefer to believe in delusions, you won't care. Willing blindness to truth feels better than reality for many.

That act higher/more delusional than people on actual hallucinogins.

There's no talking or reasoning with that.

Full moon in Ta**us Forecast for tomorrow. Moon conjunct Uranus. Uranus opposite sun in scorpio. Ruler of ta**us (Venus) in Capricorn. Ruler of Cap (Saturn) in Pisces. Rulers of pisces in gemini (Jupiter) and pisces (Neptune). Ruler of gemini (mercury) in Sag. Jupiter is Opposite Mercury in Sag (jupiter rules sag).

This is a good day to stay at home or indoors. Enjoy soft things, cuddling, baking, cooking favorite foods, and doing creative stuff. May want to open the windows for fresh air (if it's warm enough to do so). Lighting a fireplace or doing a bonfire is also comforting.

You may want to hang out at home with loved ones. Everyone as a group relaxes indoors.

If you enjoy getting 🍃 💨, now is the time to do so. It's time to relax and get away from anxiety.

It's a good day to catch up on house chores. Put on some music and if you aren't allergic, use scented goods like candles, incense, or diffusers.

If you have a bathtub, it is time to use it to sit in it. Some of you may need a spiritual cleanse and may want to make your bath more fancy.

Long showers can help still if you don't have a bathtub. Some may want to bathe twice today.

You may need a nap or to sleep longer than you normally do.

Now is the time to recycle and conserve your energy and resources. Use what you have, find places that donate food or other needs, watch out for garage/yard sales, pay attention to the sides of the road for needed items, and ask for help as needed.

Now is the time to review your budget and think of long term goals. Do you have savings for an emergency? Do you need a job or career change or upgrade? Do you need extra classes or to go back to school? If in school, how are you progressing and are you tapping into all sources of financial aid and school resources?

Some of you may need to move to find a better career, a better place to live, or to save money. Some may need to move in with someone.

Talks of settling down with someone. Talks of joint investments. Talks of joint long term goals.

Conversate on creating healthy spending habits together and to eliminate any bad habits.

Hoarders may be finding what they have hoarded is about to come in handy. Start using resources to save on spending.

You may be interested in giving away or selling items you have to give back to others.

Now is not the time to rush relationships to go faster. Take your time with them. If single, take your time with dating and getting to know people. Reflect on past relationship errors so you don't make the same errors. Break old relationship cycles.

Some need to leave their relationship and focus on healing to make room for self love and healthier relationships.

Check your traveling budget. Please save where you can. Can someone help you pay for your tickets, can you stay with people you know, is it cheaper to rent or use your own car? Can you borrow someone else's car? Can you buy groceries over eating out?

Check on budget for local traveling. Budget for gas, car repairs or maintenance, buying a new car if need be, budget for taking local transit systems.

Some of you may be seeing more celestials related to death and transitioning. Talks and thoughts of the topic of death are higher right now. Topics of grief are being discussed.

Pay attention to weather patterns and symbolism. You may get messages from them.

Unusual growing season for food. Time to reflect on gardening to adapt to upcoming years and weather patterns.

Is anything you experience actually attractive to you or are you believing someone else's logic over your own?

Take it easy. We are playing the long game. Slow and steady wins the race.
