The Astrology of: John Lennon
Often considered the leader of The Beatles—an insanely talented and influential rock-band coming out of Liverpool—John Lennon was a complicated artist in every sense of the word. His songs were honest and vulnerable, as his personal life (and behavior) was questionable, unpredictable, and even violent. After The Beatles disbanded in 1970, he’d relocate to New York, where his public image would now center around peace and love. Unfortunately, New York is the place where he would unexpectedly be gunned-down in front of his apartment by a deranged fan - which makes his life story and legacy even more intriguing.
Tumblr media
no official birth time for him, so just focus heavily on aspects
Tumblr media
Jupiter-rX conjunct Saturn-rX: Seen as the strongest conjunction ever, Jupiter conjunct Saturn is a success placement; Jupiter gives us abundance, while Saturn gives us boundaries and longevity. This can attribute to his long-standing artistic influence—he was apart of The Beatles. Both in retrograde tells me that his life felt very unlucky and unstable at times - which makes sense.
Sun conjunct North Node: This is another fame placement. North Node is our life “goal” and the Sun is how we express pride and ego. Most people with this aspect may feel like they are supposed to take center-stage and be the “main character”. He’s an ultra-famous musician, who is still talked about 40 years after his death. He also took the center stage in his life when he left The Beatles.
North Node in Libra: Libra energy is all about social gracing, attractiveness, and fairness. Earlier in his life, Lennon struggled with maintaining his anger—he would take his anger out on his family and get in random fights at bars. Later on, he would be a famous advocate for peace. South Node would automatically be in Aries, showing that he was already a fighter and aggressor early on in life.
Mercury square Pluto: Pluto is a controlling planet, while Mercury looks for problems and communicates. Disharmonious aspects between the two planets give someone a very paranoid personality, and no filter in what they say. Lennon would always get himself in trouble with what he said: he claimed The Beatles were more popular than Jesus and later would make fun of Beatles’ songs that were written by other members.
^He also had a song titled “Woman is the N*gger of the World”??? He had no filter.
Venus sextile Mercury: Venus gives an aesthetic touch to how we communicate and work. Lennon was a great songwriter. He even published a few books.
Moon opposing Pluto: The Moon is our emotional comfort, while Pluto is intense and addicting. This aspect points to emotional upheavals and an inability to control your reactions to things. This can add explanation to his behaviors earlier on in his life and the emotional turmoil you hear in his music.
^Pluto can also signify death and being overpowered, while the Moon is the mother figure. Lennon’s Mother unexpectedly passed away when he was just 15 years old.
Moon in Aquarius: Despite how personal the Moon placement is, Aquarius deals with impersonal subjects (i.e., human evolution, new-ways-of-thinking, and inventions). The good side about this placement is, when Humanity feels good, they feel good. This gives insight into his humanitarian approach later on in life.

🕊️ SATURN
OBSERVATIONS
Tumblr media
◽Saturn( if 7th house lord) and North-Node aspects especially conjunction can expect something odd happening during their marriage. Something unusual that makes your wedding day memorable in a good or bad way.
◽Saturn dominants should not go for opening their business. Because , Saturn is definitely not a leader, unlike Sun. They are more good at taking orders and executing them.
◽Smart work doesn't go well for Gemini Saturn.
◽Saturn ruling 6th house and going to 9th house can indicate taking loans for higher studies
◽An Aries Saturn retrograde will always prioritise their work and career over anything.
◽Now this one is very personal observation. I have seen one of my friends have Saturn square moon and also Saturn trine Neptune. The thing I noticed that no matter how many difficult situations she is in, she won't show it. There's this glow or smile on her face that makes other things that everything is going well in her life. This is how her Saturn trine Neptune helps her to cover up her problems whenever she wants to.
◽9th house Saturns were not allowed to go for higher studies in places away from their place of living.
◽Also, I have noticed that harmonious Saturn - Venus aspect people tend to favour female figures a lot.
◽Saturn square Sun are secretly hating on their fathers but can't talk about it loud
◽10th house Saturns always have to work 200% more than others to get something. It's like something that seems easy, so you don't prepare much, and it turns out that the results aren't good.
◽Saturn - mercury ( difficult aspects) often have problems with putting up their own opinions out there. They have this fear that maybe their thoughts or opinions don't contribute much. There's always this need to push them and let them know that they need to speak up if they feel like.
◽Saturn - Venus ( difficult aspects) are always giving explanations to prove themselves right to their partners.
◽Saturn, Sun and Chiron in the 7th house can indicate having a very protective father who didn't like you interacting with others much. Due to which, you try to hide certain things from them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
◽Bro, just run if your boss has virgo Saturn. He will nitpick everything till the work has been done to his satisfaction.
◽Also, virgo Saturns are healers in some way. They love helping out people, giving them advices to maintain their diets. Literally, waking up people at 5 am, to do exercise together.
◽You know why Saturn is debilitated in Aries because Aries indicates making your own decisions, more like being your own boss. But Saturn is not like that. Saturn's personality is of someone who takes work and get them done within the time limit.
◽Something similar is found in Leo because both Aries and Leo are fire signs. Leo also indicates leadership and being confident about your decisions.
◽Saturn- moon conjunction is one of the toughest conjunction, I have ever seen, especially in the 1st house. These people either didn't get much attention or love from their mothers or their mother wasn't present in their life.
Now, heree comes a twist, if in this conjunction, moon is in cancer or Taurus, you can see that the person's mother was always with them but she was very strict and wanted her child to remain in discipline always.
◽Something similar can be seen if Saturn aspects 4th house of your chart(as per vedic astrology)
◽9th house Saturns can actually start believing in religious works or even go to pilgrimages after the age of 30.
◽If Saturn holds the highest degree in your chart( excluding SN,NN, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus), you will see that the person gets instant karma if they do something that's violates the principles of Saturn as per their chart.
For eg. 10th house Saturns slacking off....and getting hit by karma instantly.
◽Capricorn Saturns being secretive about their wealth is a must.
◽7th house lord as Saturn can feel like marriage will tie them down or lessen their control over life.
◽Saturn in 11th house will see that they don't really have a person in their life whom they can call "best friend".
◽Also, I have seen how 11th lord conjunct with Saturn in different houses will show that somehow their friends will always rely on them for the things relating to the house where the conjunction is happening.
For eg, 11th lord conjunct with Saturn in 10th, can indicate that their friends are always clinging to them for climbing up in the social ladder or maybe things related to academics
If it's in 12th house, can indicate that their friends are always seeking that emotional support from them

The Devil's Den
Chapter 26: In Which Soft Turns Sharp
You can read this also on Ao3 at: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46831621/chapters/117962293
Tumblr media
"I have been in IT for years and I've never once actually seen this happen."
"How does this even happen?"
"It blew up, literally."
"Yo! That's uh... that's a mess."
You were currently standing in the middle of a category 5 disaster. The bottom half of your pants and all of your shoes were completely black; powder-coated by your lovely office printer you were just having words with.
Toner was spewed all over the ugly grey carpet like the remanence of a cartoon explosion. The coworkers and IT tech were standing around amused and befuddled by the whole thing.
Jeff nudged your arm with a giant grin on his face, "did you at least say 'bless you'?"
You wanted to groan.
"No, really though..." Jade, the IT guy asked, "what were you doing again before this happened?"
Another exasperated sigh.
"I've been having communication issues all morning with it and my computer, so after I got sick of trying to repair the connection through my server I came back here to see if perhaps the ethernet was disconnected. It wasn't. Then I was going to get into the settings to see if there was something wrong there, but the screen went all blinky and wobbly, then the fucker shit itself. That's it."
Kind of.
You left out the part where you grabbed the sides of the operating screen in a threat to rip it off it's hinges, then it exploded.
Jade mused on your explanation one more time while the other two morons were drawing finger pictures on the side of the printer with toner.
"Ok - as exciting as this is I'm gunna go and see if I can save my shoes from being stained forever. Bye."
With a huff you kicked off as much toner as you could and immediately headed out the door.
In truth technology had been acting really funky the past few days. First your phone started acting up; the screen would randomly black out while you were using it (the thing was barely a year old so you hoped it wasn't frying already), the location changed on you twice (once it threw you to Paris, the second time to Idaho), and getting your keyboard to work properly was an entire fight all on it's own. You finally turned it off for a couple hours and it seemed to help a little. Then, the clock on your desk started sucking batteries to death. Twice this week you had to change them to keep the damn thing correct. Your work computer had had a couple hiccups and now the printer. Was Mercury in fucking retrograde or some shit???
You didn't bother to tell your boss you were leaving and left the building without saying anything to anyone.
8 days had gone by without Alcina and you were missing her so badly. The bouts of unusual aggression were sporadic and it really wasn't like you, but you just weren't used to such strong feelings about someone and it must be making you a little weird. You guess.
A calmer energy seemed to be following you now but it didn't completely phase out the worry or aggravation. You began to feel better overall since the random muscle attack in your back which helped ease a lot of your tension, but still, you couldn't help but... wonder. You didn't know where she was but somehow she felt closer. You hoped she would be back soon. Sooner than later.
Suddenly your phone began to ring and you reached for it out of your bag.
It was Louis.
"Heyyy man, what's up?"
"I got you another cassette my friend; Miss D and the Pallboys in a rare recording done at a live event - interested?"
"What kind of question is that; hell yes I am - I'll be there in half an hour!"
"See you soon."
Ok, today was not a total bust.
-
The mirror was not as kind today as she was hoping.
Alcina looked at her naked body with a twinge of scrutiny.
She'd gone through all of this with no fruits for her labor. 
After Dmitri and her troops arrived 5 days ago the trail of evidence and any leads went dead. It had gone completely silent. No more attacks, no more sightings, not even a hint of action. While everyone was relieved it didn't sit well with anyone, but what were they to do? They'd scoured every inch of the territory through the sector where everything had taken place, and miles around that. 
Nothing. Anywhere.
The 'cave' itself proved pointless; it was caved in not a thousand feet from the entrance. Still, no one was convinced this was over and Alcina agreed. Dmitri and Sylvia kept several outposts active and would continue to do so for as long as they deemed fit.
The deceased mutated vampire lay in the bin hollowing out with nothing more of interest to study it seemed. No bugs, no worms, nothing exited his body to help Joel in his quest to understand him. His tests came up with very little information outside of a strange anomaly in the dead blood he'd collected, however it was nothing he had seen and without a live sample of possibly another mutated specimen he was hitting a dead end as well. How could he research a dead, dying crumb of evidence? Oddly though, when they put his body out to disintegrate in the sun, he didn't crumble to pure ash as he should have. His bones remained slightly in tact, which Joel collected to see if that could lead him anywhere instead.
Mother Miranda had finally been reached; she had indeed been on travel to Romania which is where Donna was finally able to speak with her. Her reaction was... limited at best. Unconcerned and satisfied they had it under control. Donna was unamused by her stance and Alcina couldn't have scoffed harder at her dismissal. She was nothing if not flippant unless it directly concerned her these days. She could rot in hell or Romania for all Alcina cared.
The suspiciousness of the ordeal had everyone who was aware remaining on high alert. This was far from over and neither clan was backing down from their posts to make sure whatever, if ever, something came next, they'd be more than prepared.
Thankfully no word had seeped into the underground and everything was carrying on as normal it seemed.
Alcina had returned home yesterday and was getting ready for a good nights rest in her own bed where it was quiet, and private.
Well, a little.
Donning her nightgown she clicked off the light to her bathroom and exited.
"Ai dormit pe partea asta aseară, e rândul meu," Daniela stated flatly. (You slept on this side last night, it's my turn)
"Conteaza? Încă dormi lângă mama," Cassandra replied, "sunt două laturi, poate s-o lase pe Bela să doarmă lângă ea în seara asta.." (Does it matter? You're still sleeping next to mother, there's two sides, maybe let Bela sleep next to her tonight.)
Bela sighed as she situated at the end of the very large king size bed, "e în regulă, sunt bine aici jos. Atâta timp cât suntem cu toții împreună, nu-mi pasă." (It's fine, I'm fine down here. As long as we're all together I don't care.)
"Dani este doar un nebun, vino să dormi aici." (Dani is just being a brat, you come sleep up here.)
"Nu sunt un nebun!" (I'm not being a brat!)
"Fetelor..." Alcina intervened as she approached softly, "într-adevăr acum, am destul pat și timp și cu mine să merg. Vă rugăm să încetați să vă certați." (Girls... really now, there's plenty of bed and time and me to go around. Please stop bickering.)
They smiled at her as she began crawling under the covers with them, nestling down with a smile of her own.
When Alcina returned home she hadn't had a moments peace since she walked through the door. Her daughters had warm blood waiting for her, not the wine, and tended to her every unspoken need. Which, they apparently seemed to make for her by the dozens. Donna had of course informed them of her attack and they were more fretful than she at the news. It was only expected they would be exceptionally doting to their beloved mother when she arrived home. They had nearly lost her once, many many years ago and the memories were still fresh and vivid in their hearts. The bond the 4 of them shared was deeply rooted and strong; Alcina may not be their biological mother in the human sense, but she was their rock and anchor, their protector and very much the loving, nurturing, caring and doting mother figure. While the girls were quite old as far as human standards go, somehow deep inside of them was still a childlike need and fondness with Alcina.
Cassandra had run her a bath, Bela washed the clothes Dani had packed and sent with Dmitri for her, Dani continued to bring warm blood on the hour and while the house was never truly a mess, it was spotless. Spot. Less. Alcina couldn't help but grin at their attentiveness. She jested perhaps she should get wounded more often... they didn't find it humorous in the least.
"Acum, fiicele mele... noapte bună, vă iubesc, dormiți bine," she cooed, caressing their beautiful faces one by one. (Now, my daughters... goodnight, I love you, sleep well.)
Exchanging kisses to the cheek they settled in, snuggling close to their mother as the silence of the room seeped in.
Cassandra, now on the right side of Alcina, caressed her arm softly, "esti bine mama?" (You're alright, mother?)
Alcina smiled, "da, draga. Dormi. Sunt acasă, în siguranță cu fetele mele. Totul este în regulă în lume," she whispered and kissed her forehead once more. (Yes, darling. Sleep. I'm home, safe and sound with my girls. All is right in the world.)
She felt complete. 
Almost.
She missed you. She needed you.
Tomorrow she would venture out to see you. She couldn't stand the distance from you any longer.
-
"More goodies for the pests, ey?"
You gave Malka a raised eyebrow as she scanned the bag of mixed nuts and dried berries.
"Those pests were here waaay before us, it's not their fault we moved in on their territory."
Malka broke her stern visage and smiled brightly at you, "yes yes, good good, you have a Yiddishe Kop my girl."
Malka was an old Jewish woman who ran and owned the tiny corner store a couple blocks from your apartment. It was your favorite place to get groceries and oddities. The produce was always fresh and she was constantly stocking the shelves with fun, niche little snacks from all over Europe and her home in the Netherlands. She'd adopted you as the neighborhood stray long ago and you happily claimed her as your long lost Bubbeh - her chosen term. She was small but a pure spitfire. Her hair was long and white with fading pepper streaks that she wore in a braided bun high on her head. Malka was a darling.
"I still think you should ween them off the dried fruit and give them fresh - it's good for the soul, you know," she advised knowingly.
You chuckled, "they like what they like, who am I to argue? Getting them off the pastries was hard enough!"
She placed the last of your things in your tweed bag and handed it over to you, "my pastries were the cause of several village wars, I'll have you know."
"Yes, yes, I know Sophia Petrillo. I doubt I'll ever see another twenty dropped on my doorstep until I treat them again."
"Ahaha," she cackled, "off with you now, enjoy your evening and give my best to the birds. Tell them Bubbeh wants a twenty dollar bill too next time."
By the time you made it to your block you caught their shadows overhead as they swarmed and landed in the trees in the courtyard. You smiled and treaded around back to the grass and benches on the other side. They followed with happy caws and grunts and coos.
You sat on the bench and watched them gracefully land at your feet as you opened the bag and began divvying out the goods.
You still couldn't tell them all apart yet but there was a considerably bigger one and a runt that stuck out the most. The smallest was easily the most vocal and it was skittish. The biggest one was very regal but had a playful side, you'd noticed. He, or she, would play with the baby squirrels in the neighboring tree, almost a game of tag, it was quite amusing to watch.
The gathering usually gave you odd looks from the passerby's but you got used to ignoring it. So you had a tiny army of crows, so what? 
Without giving away the whole bag you watched them trek around the grounds for a while enjoying the falling evening. It was getting a little cooler now, autumn was around the corner. Every season in New York was pretty, except winter. Winter could fuck all the way off in your opinion. 
You sighed. As the darkness shifted the hue in the sky your heart silently wished upon the universe that your Alcina was safe and would be back in your arms before too long. 9 days was a really, really long time at this point.
~
There was no way to accurately describe the sensation that coated you like warm molasses; it was slow in enveloping you and you became light headed, a fuzzy heat trickled through your system and your limbs felt numb and tingly. A smile erupted on your face and you instantly knew this feeling.
In a split second you were off your couch and headed for your room.
There creeping through your doorway was that tall black silhouette you longed and craved to see and touch for 9 too long goddamn days.
"Alcina," you whimpered as you ran to her and collected her in your arms.
She sighed long and heavy as her own strong arms enfolded you with haste. Your scent wafted through her sweeter than a summer breeze offering reprieve from the hot sun and she drove her nose deep in your hair.
"Oh... how I've missed you, draga mea," she whispered near your ear, feeling her own relief and satiation of having you back within her grasp, "I have missed you so much."
"I've missed you so much," your muffled reply came as you slowly inched your face around to claim her lips.
The two of you moaned softly and satisfyingly at the connection. Yes. This felt like home, this felt too good to be lost for so long.
Alcina carefully grasped your face in her cool hands, which you noticed were slightly trembling, and you looked deep into her stumbling slate colored eyes. Pools of ethereal eternity. Somewhere you wanted to be for the rest of your days.
"Hi beautiful," you smiled.
"Hello, dragul meu," she smiled right back.
You snaked your arms back around her torso and clung to her like she might slip away again. Not today Satan, not to-fucking-day.
Although, there was something amiss. Something not quite right. You weren't completely sure what it was but somehow your hands began to pull higher up her back where you found, under her leather jacket, an unnatural heat. And raised ridges of... something.
Alcina hitched as your hands splayed over her wounds and grabbed for your arms and pulled you away. The concern and confusion was not hidden on your face and she sighed, forced a smile and hoped there could have been at least an hour pass before this came to light.
Feeling the hesitation peel off her like layers of a wilted rose you stepped in a little closer to her, taking her hands in yours.
You could throw the thoughts of her absence dealing with something dangerous out the window all you'd like; they would return like a handful of sand to the wind and back in your eyes every time. You knew. You knew.
With a short breath you swallowed your worry, "I know you can't tell me everything, or maybe anything at all for that matter, but... what did I just feel?"
Exasperation was now the most common emotion she was friends with these days. Alcina didn't know how to tell you. It wasn't as if she could hide this forever. But she wanted to. Her healing was so slow - they should be gone by now, but they weren't, and she didn't want to be away from you any longer. Somehow this made her feel too vulnerable to you, a desperation to keep it locked away and never let you into this dark corner of her world.
"Draga..." she started, tossing her eyes away from you.
This was not something you would receive well, in fact she feared for how it would affect you period. How was she supposed to just brush this off as a; 'well, you see draga mea, I was attacked by a mutated vampire that nearly killed me and more lycans than I care to count, that may or may not have many other mates running loose that we can't find, and truly that's just where the story ends for the moment,' and expect you to have a normal reaction. And, at the same time, how could she just say; 'I can't tell you what happened and I'm sorry you have to look at these scars that looks like I fought 8 meet hooks, you'll just have to accept that,' and move on.
Alcina's pause made you lean in closer. You understood the barrage of thoughts you couldn't hear her fighting all too well, so, softly and carefully, you began to remove her jacket and moved to her tight black turtleneck.
Her body immediately tensed and an anxiousness wrapped around her, but what was she to do. 
Well, here we go, Alcina thought.
She allowed you to continue and it actually surprised you. You half expected her to grab for your arms again and immobilize your efforts, but she didn't.
As you stood behind her and lifted the soft cloth, the sight that assaulted your eyes sunk your heart to the pits of your stomach like a deflated lead balloon.
Did you gasp? No clue. But you felt ice shoot through your veins at the sight.
"My god..." you whispered, "Alcina... what - who did this to you?"
Your fingers were so gentle as they passed over the raised dark purple scars Alcina almost buckled. The caress didn't hurt but it felt like little sparks of electricity passing through her. Somehow your touch was the most soothing thing she'd felt so far in her healing, or, maybe, she was just starving for your touch more than she had been aware.
As your eyes wandered you could now see in the dim light that there were fully healed scars all over her. All in swipes of 4, like sets of claws. Eventually you just removed the turtleneck all together and rounded her to look back into her eyes. She wasn't completely dodging your glance, but she wasn't seeking it out either.
You tried to choke out more questions as you softly trailed your fingers over her arms, chest, and abdomen. What was there to say, how were you to say it? Suddenly another rushing wave of icy water pelted over you as the memories of that night you had your little 'muscle attack' just about drowned you. 
Did you feel this happen to her? 
Who or what could have done this? Was the war between vampires and lycans returning?
Your visage torqued the twinge in Alcina's heart. You were so concerned, plighted by a tied tongue. But also, something else. Alcina gently reached out to cup your jaw and offer a soft smile. Truth be told she didn't know what to say either. She didn't want to answer your question. 
In your short lived elation to see her you were unable to address the tiredness about her, but now you saw it loud and clear. Her eyes lacked the sparkle of light, her skin looked worn, her lips, thinner, her trembling hands alone should have told you how lacking her energy was.
Taking her beautiful long fingers to your lips you kissed them gently, repeatedly, locking her eyes with yours as you then began to move your hair away from your neck.
Alcina grabbed you up in her arms and held you, "dragul meu, please, I didn't come here to feed off you -"
"I know you didn't but you're depleted, I can tell," you shut down her argument softly, "please, drink," you urged, "I don't like seeing you like this. Please... I want you to."
She didn't budge.
Stubborn ass.
Accepting her refusal you secured your arms even more tightly around her bare torso and held her back. She may have won for now but you would give her your blood before she left, you wouldn't have it any other way. Softly you began pressing your warm lips against her bare collarbone and kissing her cool skin with revered tenderness.
Alcina closed her eyes and leaned into you, feeling you against her seemed to bring down all the pillars of worry and concern around her. But you, your offer, it panged her with guilt and remorse.
Pressing her lips to the shell of your ear she whispered softly, "you are not for my consumption, draga mea, you are more to me than what I think you realize and it pains me to think if I have lead you astray in that... you are not for the taking, for use, for simply delectable taste and pleasure. I love you, I never want you to feel less than my equal, for all sense and purpose of our differences."
You sighed.
"You big dummy," you muttered, pulling back to look into her eyes once more, "I love you too, I love you so much... you're my vampire and I'm your human; I belong to you because I want to. I'm not offering my blood out of - fuck, I don't know - pressure, duty, some form of guilt - no! I love you, I want you to feed because I want to take care of you, because I don't want to see you drained and weak, because your wellbeing is not only my job as your lover but my honor. You're a mighty Matriarch. You fight battles and command armies and rule over a literal underground city of vampires and lycans. I am a chaotic, dysfunctional, boring as fuck but loving human who was just lucky enough to be chosen by you - I can't offer you much, literally, I have like nothing of real value... but you've got my love, my dedication, my heart and blood and whatever else you want or need, ok?"
What have I done to deserve you? Alcina mused in the silence. You were the unintended enigma that was never-ending.
Carefully tracing her fingertips along the outlines of your face, Alcina leaned in gracefully to kiss you. Each caress of your lips together grew a little deeper and a little deeper, everything outside of this room ceasing to exist as she was once again back in the safest place she could ever imagine. Your arms. Your embrace. Your love.
Feeling the inevitable plume of heat deep inside of you, gorging yourself on everything that was this glorious woman, you urged and silently begged for her bite; pressing your body so close into hers, pulling her as near as possible, arching your neck as your lips escaped to graze her jawline. And then you felt the shudder within her; the release of the tiger that was prowling for blood with no need to chase.
Her teeth were sharp and precise and the painful pleasure coursed through you like your blood into her. Bliss, euphoric release; a chaotic intertwining of black and white, up and down, hot and cold.
As the sensation of heat poured down her throat, Alcina groaned out her long-awaited desire to taste you again. Your blood fed fuel to her fire like nothing else in this world, but within the rush this time something else was taking place. Her body began to burn. Her senses thrown into a frenzy. The striking, piercing sensation of an itch so violently unable to scratch tore through her and she ripped her mouth away from your neck with a pained wail.
Alcina's knees buckled and she fell to the floor with a thud.

My understanding of the upcoming Mercury retrograde in Taurus (April 21)
Tumblr media
Mercury retrograde kicks in on April 21 at 1:34 AM (PST)
Mercury retro in Taurus it seems like it could be a major time of going inside and restructuring our connection with emotions and mental health - I say this because the moment Mercury goes retro in Taurus it’s in an exact (almost) conjunction with the moon. The moon in Taurus is self assuring and has us feeling some strength and support, but in a conjunction with Mercury retro there’s an allusion to some emotional confusion or confusion regarding what certain situations need (since moon = needs) or how to fulfill those needs. When Mercury goes retrograde in April it’s still in a sextile with Mars. This can affect our sense of direction, but there can be a lot to be explored, since it is a harmonious aspect. This could represent having ideas about moving forward that may be more “scenic” than clear cut or direct. We also have the internalizing energy of Cancer affecting Mars still.
There’s a really interesting conglomerate happening with Mercury, the moon and Uranus, when Mercury goes retrograde. To me this feels like a major revolution of the way things feel, and the way things need to be resolved. Taurus is always going to affect our reality in a very foundational way, and a lot of changes may be coming to our foundations. If Aries is the birth and then the pursuit of what it is in life we’re able to conquer, Taurus is the establishment of its reality and figuring out what can actually stand the pressure of life and time. Gemini -which does come in here - is the assessment of how things connect within what it is we’re trying to build, and Cancer is the finished product: the home base, the roots planted, the family and then another extension out through family. In Taurus we are checking the land - sensing any potential dangers and ensuring that we are where we want to be for the long term. 
With Mercury sextiling Mars in Cancer, and Mercury being in Taurus, there is again: the theme of permanence in our lives. It’s almost like the official forward moving progress to certain fixed destinations - material accomplishments, even if a lot of us have had plenty of false-starts in life. With Mercury retrograde it can be difficult to see all the facts and how all the pieces fit together, but there may still be that feeling that we’re on the right track. Uranus involved makes me think of that deep feeling that something’s changing or has to change, and the moon can help us get in touch more with what that change has to represent.
Taurus’ ruler Venus is in Gemini when Mercury goes retro, which is another Mercury ruled sign. So we have a pure combination of Venus and Mercury energy, which definitely involves relationships and social interconnection. With the ruling sign of Mercury retrograde being Taurus, and the ruling planet of Taurus being Venus, we have something to figure out during the retrograde cycle that involves relationships and relating to other people. With Gemini being the sign Venus is in at this time, there’s the task of being able to relate intellectually and figure out communication. During the retrograde cycle we may find communication somewhat challenging (something that happens anyway during Mercury retro cycles) - especially communication that manifests in Venusian ways, such as affection, appreciation, attraction, and the relating via the material in life such as money and assets. 
Venus Square Saturn:
Venus is squaring Saturn when Mercury goes retro in Taurus, and this is a complication around love, relationships and potentially shared finances, or shared understanding about finances. Gemini is indicative of one-on-one, which to me makes it seem as though we may have it out with certain people in relationships in terms of how, where and why we spend money. Gemini is explanation, so we may feel a need to really explain things or clear up major stuff. Saturn in Pisces is a tight leash, as Saturn and the sign of Pisces do not really mesh. There’s a certain difficulty when it comes to the ways in which we drift. With Mercury retro being the main energy we’re examining for this, we may feel the need to problem solve via some of these themes. Venus square Saturn, with Saturn being in Pisces, represents a need for boundaries and solid establishment between “mine vs yours”. There can be a need to untangle thoughts and opinions from relationships, so that we can see what’s really going on. Saturn is discipline, so we may really feel like it’s time to get our stuff together in relationships, or how we spend money - whether it be giving away too much or not being lenient enough. Either way it’ll be a time to restructure thought processes around give and take, and there may be some detours to take along the way.

Astrology Observations Pt. 6
Hello all you lovely people! I have decide to drop a few astro notes your way and this will probs be my last post for a while as I'm writing exams. Wish me luck and hugs you beauties!🤗
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Tumblr media
Capricorn 3rd House Natives will avoid small talk and lengthy explanations or discussions, as they feel it a waste of time in getting the information they need. When they are asking for answers or seek information, it must be direct and to the point. Anything else added in the mix is useless.
Everyone goes on about how 7th H Saturn Natives are so loyal, mature and longterm minded in relationships, but when that bitch is retrograde in the chart, these natives can be quite unfaithful and, at the mention of marriage, will catch the ick faster than an anti-masker can catch covid. This is because these natives hate any restrictive things that take away their freedom. (this may not apply to all tho)
Moon-Jupiter aspects may potentially find that they have to care or help care for a grandparent in their life. These individuals, depending on other placements and aspects, could also be quite close to one or all of their grandparents.
Leo Moons represent the gaslight bit in the girlboss, gaslight, gatekeep trifecta.
Tumblr media
Just a theory, but maybe Taurus Mars could enjoy some element of food during sex? Like licking honey off of a lovers body? No? Maybe not, but I feel like pissing off a Taurus Mars today so yee...a theory with no evidence just for you lot lol.
Capricorn Stelliums are scary to encounter. Like everything is so well planned out and orderly and they flip their shit when their order of doing things are disturbed. My granddad has this and literally berated me for daring to make him a peanutbutter and jam sandwich for lunch. "You don't mix condiments ever!" Like okay old man, sheesh. Like he'll make you feel like shit for doing the smallest of things improperly.
Virgo Venus natives may prefer to to marry at an older age or just delay the idea of marriage until they are completely sure that they have met the right person. This may infuriate more fast paced signs, but this is a good placement to look out for if you want a partner that is willing to take things slow and find their footing in the relationship before making major decisions.
Tumblr media
Virgo Moons have a very analytical approach to their emotions and the emotions of others. They're able to disect important information without being overly clouded by emotion, which makes them very good candidates for a careers in therapy or psychology. This could have people take advantage of you as they may see you as "therapy for free".
Have you ever talked to someone who you felt was quite overbearing in conversation? Chances are they have an Earth or Aquarius Mercury or 3rd House. Not saying this is true for all, but this is just from my personal experience.
Natives with fire over the second House likely prefer hot beverages to cold ones. (Don't come for me, it's just a theory)
Retrograde Uranus in the natal chart may feel rather disconnected or cut off from other people. Feeling as if you need to hold back from expressing your true self out of fear that others will judge and ridicule you. You therefore distance yourself from people causing this feeling of disconnection. Sometimes this is healthy and sometimes unhealthy. These natives need to learn how to discern situations where they can freely express themselves and where they should hold back. It's a tough life friends, but it's going to be ok. I'm here for you.
Tumblr media
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I hope you all enjoyed the few notes I made here. Take what resonates en let me know what I need to sharpen up on. I hope you all have an absolutely splendid day. Hugs my peoples.🤗

🌸OBSERVATIONS!! (finally lmao)🌱
Credit: Tumblr blog @astrobydalia
It's been a long time coming! So happy for spring being finally here! Here's the long ass observation post you guys asked for. Since it's quite a big amount of observations, I've decided it'd be a good idea to number them so that it's easier to reference them. As always, enjoy them!
🌸 1. Lilith in the 2nd house can indicate something fishy going on with the relationship between the native’s parents.
🌱 2. Malefic placements such as pluto, chiron, Saturn or Lilith in the 12th indicates a lot of skeletons in the closet when it comes to family and family history
🌸 3. Chiron in Aries/1st house or Leo/5th house is kind of bitch placement. The person basically feels like they can’t be themselves and there’s a lot of self-denial and/or not accepting themselves, how they really are, what they really want, etc. Lots of self-esteem issues
🌱 4. People with sexual placements in the 2nd house (Mars, Venus, Lilith, Eros, ruler of the 8th house) base their self-worth on how sexually attractive they are. If they don't feel sexually desirable to everyone, they feel like they're shit
🌸 5. Lilith is what people think Pluto/Scorpio is!!!! All that stuff about magnetic, sexual and intoxicating but dangerous? Lilith.
🌱 6. Scorpio/Pluto in 4th could mean that the person had to work hard to survive something growing up. It could be poverty, their parents’ expectations, an early trauma, etc. Whatever the situation is, the native felt like they grew up in a high-stress environment where they had to endure and survive
🌸 7. When it comes to degrees, the higher the degree, the bigger or stronger the effect. For example Leo degrees (5º, 17º, 29º) are fame degrees. 5th degree would give small fame, 17th degree would be normal and significant fame or recognition inside the person’s field and 29th degree is moreso widespread or permanent fame
🌱 8. Saturn in the 5th house is a huge indicator of turning your hobby into your job. Also these people can be very awkward in their personality
🌸 9. I’ve noticed people with Neptune in the 6th (maybe 2nd) house may have been hospitalized and if Uranus or Pluto are placed here also indicates getting surgery or operations for health reasons
🌱 10. People with Uranus or Pluto in the 1st, 2nd or conjunct the ASC could get surgery due to aesthetic reason
🌸 11. Mercury dominant people (or strong Gemini energy in the chart) like to have or get things quick and easy. For example they prefer a straight forward summary over an in-depth and elaborated explanation with too many details
🌱 12. Your moon sign shows how you see your past. Your 4th house represent how you see your childhood. But your moon represents under which light you always view your past and everything that has happened in your life in general. It also shows the type of stuff from your past you tend to focus on. Since Cancer and Pisces represent past and remenaicence, that's why Cancer and Pisces moons have trouble getting over the past.
🌸 13. Your 10th house on the other hand is how you see your future. Whenever someone asks you “where you see yourself in 5 years?” your 10th house is the one that’ll be answering that question
🌱 14. Gemini moon/mars are the LEAST likely to hold grudges (unless chart says otherwise)
🌸 15. The house where you have your Neptune indicates the themes you tend to lie about, don’t give much info, say stuff about it that are misleading etc. and in consequence people might not have a clear/correct idea of this part of your life
🌱 16. Virgo risings rarely or basically never pose for pictures. They just look straight forward to the camera, sometimes smile and maybe make a small gesture like putting one hand in their pocket or tilt their head but that’s it. (Virgo = minimalism)
🌸 17. Scorpios really don’t give a single fuck they just DON’T 😭💀 Remember this sign is all or nothing, they either care too or don't care AT ALL
🌱 18. I said it once and I’ll say to a hundred times more: Geminis are not two-faced, it’s LIBRA!! Seriously Libras are the FAKEST people I’ve ever met. Why? Because it's ruled by the planet of love (Venus), which means Libra has a knack for being liked by everyone and making everyone feel liked. HOWEVER Libra is an AIR sign and air represents mind, NOT feelings. In conclusion, Libra can make you feel "loved" (venus) and still not give a damn about you bc its air nature makes them prone to emotional detachment. That's why they are able to roast you and make it look like they're complimenting you, specially when they have Scorpio mercury.
🌸 19. Just like you look at where’s the ruler of your rising sign to get more info on your rising, check the ruler of your Sun sign for more info on your personal identity (check sign and house). For ex. I have Virgo Sun in the 9th. Ruler of Virgo=Mercury. I have mercury in Libra in the 10th house which makes me more serious (10th house) and diplomatic/people pleaser (Libra)
🌱 20. If you found that you “couldn’t” do what’s previously described because you’re a Leo sun, check the degree and decan of your Sun
🌸 21. I’ve noticed mercury retrograde people are the type of individuals who always know exactly the right things to say. You’ll always see them take a couple of seconds before answering but they tend to give very good responses
🌱 22. I’ve noticed many women with Virgo Venus/Sun/MC/Lilith have been slut-shamed at some point of their life or they’ve been seen as promiscuous/sexual/etc.
🌸 23. Capricorn moons are not emotionless machines. The thing with these natives is that their mothers treated them like an adult the second they came out of the womb, so basically they skipped the “love and affection” stage and went straight to the “grow up” stage, but they can love really hard and real deep (Capricorn is deep down a very sentimental sign). They are very ride or die people tbh, they are very patient, accepting and understanding
🌱 24. I've noticed that people at first deny their rising sign in Vedic astrology, but eventually they end up accepting it and they actually end up relating to it a lot. I feel like this is because our rising sign in Vedic astrology is usually the sign of our 12th house in Western astrology, which leads me to believe that our 12th house sign is not our shadow side but more like our deep subcontious personality and that's why we have a hard time accepting it when we see it as our rising sign in Vedic astrology. It's like your rising sign (in western) is the director of the play but your 12th house is the energy that previously wrote the script
🌸 25. So many celebrities have moon in the 11th house. Also this placement indicates that you had a mother that put you out there constantly like posting everything about you on social media, bringing you to big events or your mom was “famous” in some capacity
🌱26. Gemini risings tend to believe everything they are told. More specifically, once they find someone that knows a little bit more than them they’ll believe everything they teach them and will most likely rely on them intellectually, for advice, guidance, etc. This is bc they have DSC in Sagittarius which makes them see the people they associate with as masters and mentors while, as a Gemini rising, they identify as an apprentice.
🌸27. Both 8th house and 12th house have been associated with secrets. The different is that the 8th house represents what you CONTIOUSLY and deliberately hide from others and most likely deny to yourself (or not, depends on the person). 12th house on the other hand represents subconscious, things that are hidden even from you and you didn’t even know were hidden. 4th house is not necessarily secrets, it represents privacy, like when people have a sanctuary to just relax, unwind and feel secure, that’s the 4th house.
🌱28. Sun or Moon in the 4th house will make you a sociable but private person.
🌸29. Sun or moon in the 8th house will make you an intriguing and mysterious person.
🌱30. Sun or moon the 12th house makes you a very elusive or wishy-washy person
🌸31. I’ve seen many Scorpio sun/moon/mars/rising individuals obsessed with the idea of being prepared for a catastrophe. They could be the type to, for example, have some saved cash just in case something bad happens with their bank money, have a backup account just in case their main one gets deleted, could have a “leave before you get left” philosophy, etc.
🌱32. Is it just me or the astro community talks a lot about Aries moons???
🌸33. I’ve noticed people with 4th house in Virgo could have been raised in a very judgemental household where there was lots of taboos and prejudice as to what’s right and what’s not and the family was too preoccupied with a perfect and immaculate reputation. For example could have been raised with values such as “only criminals wear tattoos” or “you should stay celibate till marriage or else you’re a whore”, etc. and if the native broke those rules they could have been very criticized and almost loathed by the family. They native could have been highly criticized in general by their family
🌱34. I’ve noticed women that have their moon harshly aspecting Pluto, Uranus and Mars or overall have a very afflicted moon tend to have very painful period cramps
🌸35. Something I have noticed with Venus or Moon conjunct Saturn people is that the concept of unconditional love sounds like alien language to them. That of course doesn’t mean they can’t love but they have this deep belief that they have to achieve something in order to deserve love and stuff like that
🌱36. Also, I just noticed that people with Saturn conjunct sun/moon/Venus/ASC, Capricorn big 3 or Capricorn degrees in personal placements have gone through IT man, specially on an internal level. I've noticed going through depression is a common theme for people with this Capricorn/Saturn influence
🌸37. Virgo Suns could often struggle to find balance between having healthy ego and being humble.
🌱38. Also people with Virgo+Leo energy are the MOOOOST judgmental people out there. Imagine ego mixed with a sense of knowing what’s correct. They tend to believe they’re morally superior and easily liable people as inferior
🌸39. The underdeveloped energy of a sign asimilates negative traits of its sister sign. For example underdeveloped Virgo is overly perfectionist and judgmental to the point where they have unrealistic expectations (Pisces)
🌱40. On the other hand the developed version of a sign is balanced out by understanding its sister sign. For example Leo knows they are unique and special and deserves recognition but understands everyone is also unique in their own way (Aquarius)
🌸41. I’ve noticed a person can very easily manifest the stereotypical characteristics of the sign that naturally rules the house where their chart ruler is. For example if someone’s chart ruler (ruler of the ASC) is in the 7th house the person can easily manifest stereotypical characteristics of Libra like being a people pleaser
🌱42. Sagittarius ASC/Mars people are all fun, amicable and outgoing.... until they don’t get their way. They will get away from people and situations that won’t give them what they want and they can genuinely dislike people solely because those people don’t let them have their way. They tend to go around life like they have a free pass to get away with everything they want.
🌸43. People with ASC-Neptune aspects don’t have a very reliable vision of reality or themselves to be honest. I don’t know how people with this aspect haven’t lost their mind already. They are prone to subconsciously manipulating or easily getting manipulated. With hard aspects this is a lot more obvious but I’ve noticed with easy aspects this energy tends to go almost unnoticed and they easily get away with stuff
🌱44. Have seen many famous people with North node in the 2nd, 5th, 11th and 12th houses specially
🌸45. Air risings or air dominance with Sagittarius placements/degrees are people who love cartoons/animations/videogames regardless of their age.
🌱46. When I got into astrology I didn’t understand why Sun is in detriment in Libra, but oh man... All Libras I’ve met had HUGE issues with trusting themselves. They doubt themselves 24/7 and that’s not even an exaggeration and I’ve noticed they actually may have grown up doubting themselves for some reason or they had a family (their dad) that caused this feeling in them. Also I’ve seen that those Libras with Scorpio placements feel like they have to hide something about themselves otherwise they’ll be rejected. Yes they are endlessly charming, but that's because they have essentially created their personality around the desire of being liked/accepted. They always need to feel they have SOMEONE. Their sense of self, INDIVIDUALITY, independence and assertiveness is lost in the process. Unless they have fire and specially Aries placements to balance this out they can feel like they have no personality and that’s why they are often perceived as fake or shallow.
🌸47. Literally ALL Virgo placements one way or another will always suggest a way to solve your problems when giving emotional support
🌱48. I have a theory that, since 4th house is how you were raised, your home and your parents, your 10th house is how you’d be as a parent yourself and the type of home you’ll create yourself
🌸49. Contrary to my expectations, I’ve seen priests having a much more prominent 4th house (many times combined with 8th house/Scorpio energy) than 12th house. People with 12th house placements or stellium seem to prefer artistic fields rather than classic spirituality
🌱50. The house where you have your Pluto is a house you just can NOT take lightly EVER. This area of your life feels like a heavy topic to you in some way (you are either obsessed with it, find It traumatic, get extremely defensive over it, find it spiteful, you feel everything goes wrong, etc, etc.) Can also apply to the house where you have the sign of scorpio
🌸51. In synastry, Venus falling in the 12th house creates a healing dynamic in the relationship, the connection can feel cathartic specially for the house person. The house person might tend to always be comforted by the venus person’s support, always feel better (or even energetically “cleansed”) after being with them. The venus person never judges the house person and accepts them and is always willing to be there.
🌱52. I’ve noticed this pattern in people with mutable moons where they have absent mothers in some shape or form. Their mother is very inconsistent, she always comes and goes. Very often the native may have felt like their mother always “left them be” (virgo moon moms put restrictions but eventually are rather flexible)
🌸53. People with cardinal moons have bossy mothers. In many cases they can have the type of mother that is constantly making decisions for them, like their mother decides what/where they’re going to study for example (the house tells what type of things the mother tends to make decisions on).
🌱54. People with fixed moons have possesive and protective moms. While mutable moons have absent mothers, natives with fixed moons have mothers that are ALWAYS there in some shape or form. At the very least the influence of the mother is always there and they always have this sense of “loyalty” towards their mom.

That's it for now, next observation post is just as long but much better, stay tuned and safe loves 💕

TOKYO, JAPAN, 2020
It’s another August 13th and Ushijima Wakatoshi might die today.
Glumly, you push away the plate of breakfast in front of you, cross your arms over the new space, and rest your forehead down as if in front of a grave.
“Please,” you beg with eyes shut. “Let Ushijima Wakatoshi live today.”
(You’ve whispered this phrase infinite times–– so often that it has a home in your mouth like a cavity.)
Tumblr media
SOMEWHERE IN WASHINGTON, 2012
When you first meet Ushijima–– the first first time–– it’s evening and you’re lost in a meadow somewhere in Washington. Where exactly doesn’t quite matter and, even if it did, you wouldn’t be able to remember. At least, not at this moment. Because you see something most peculiar.
Under the half-lit sky, in the glade of overgrown sweet vernal grass and marigolds and daisies, a figure stands paler than the moon overhead.
The body belongs to a young man dressed in a sweater and slacks. His dark hair parts on the side, stopping right above a pair of firm dark eyes. Thin lips press in a perfunctory line, sharp nose radiates an aura of authority.
And yet, he looks lost.
“Hello?” you call out. The boy doesn’t respond, only continues to hover in the middle of the clearing with the same confounded expression on his face. So you ignore the pounding of your heart in your chest and inch closer until you’re just feet away, shivering. It’s a strangely cold day for July, you think.
“Can you tell me your name?” you ask. Seconds pass in silence as he stares past–– no, through–– you. With your thudding heartbeat and shallow breaths still the only sounds in the meadow, you realise that you may have to try something else.
Gently, you touch the pads of your fingers to his shoulder. A fresh wave of ice floods through your veins, raising goosebumps all over your skin. More curiously, though, your fingers fall through said shoulders. It feels like plunging your hand into a bucket of ice.
Eyes wide, you lunge backwards. A ghost?
No, ghosts aren’t real.
(If that’s the case, then what is he?)
At your touch, the boy’s head jerks up. Life floods his gaze. Blinking, he says, “Ushijima.” His voice is low and smooth, but quiet. Firm. He looks around the meadow as if seeing it for the first time.
“Is that all?”
Ushijima’s focus returns to you, this time with the addition of furrowed brows. His eyes are fixed on you in a way that makes you feel as if he’s reading your soul.
“That’s all there is.”
A million questions race through your mind and before you can decide which to ask first, his incorporeal figure vanishes from the meadow.
And you’re alone again.
Oddly enough, the way back to your aunt’s house comes naturally to you. Once inside the ancient wooden manor, you realise that the feeling that guided you back was the same that had led you to the meadow in the first place.
Then, you wonder, had you truly been lost?
Aunt Risa’s an eccentric woman in her thirties, always yabbering on about Mercury in retrograde and events that are yet to happen. Grandma had been the same. Clairvoyance, or what everyone claims is “clairvoyance”, supposedly runs in your family. You wouldn’t know, though, because apparently it skipped your mother. Coincidentally (or not), she’s extremely proud of her normality. And she’s also extremely proud that you, supposedly, are normal, too.
It’s safe to say that you don’t see your mother’s family often.
Still, she sent you here from New York to “connect with your roots”. And even though you know that’s a cover for “raise hell somewhere else for one summer”, you let yourself consider that it means getting acquainted with the mystic mumbo-jumbo you’ve ignored all these years. After all, nothing normal can explain what just happened in the field… right?
Good thing Aunt Risa isn’t normal.
“That’s Glendower’s Meadow you were just in,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes. “Lies atop a very powerful ley line.”
Ley lines, you learn, connect places around the world through electromagnetic forces. They are also able to transcend time, gravity, space… all forces that cannot be seen.
Aunt Risa adds that they do more than just connect places. “Soulmates countries apart can step on any point in the same line to see each other. It’s been said that the power ley lines emit is so strong that even soulmates worlds and years apart can meet in these little pockets of energy. Guess it tides you over til you’re destined to meet.”
Somehow, everything she says makes sense and doesn’t at the same time. Soulmates? Magic? None of this is real, is it?
“Now,” she continues, “it’s odd that you can use ley lines, though. Remember how you couldn’t tell a black jackal from a swan the last time you read tea leaves?”
You frown. At seven years old, you hadn’t exactly been trying.
“I guess there is something supernatural about you! You can’t deny how magical it is to have a love that transcends lifetimes…”
You don’t hear the rest of what she has to say. “Lifetimes?”
“Yup. Soulmates are the only people in this universe who go through reincarnation. The Universe is a hopeless romantic, letting her children fall in love again and again and again.”
And this explanation satisfies you because you’re sixteen, a little naive, and the Universe has never failed you before.
(She will.)
July passes in a honeyed haze: you spend every day with a content curve to your lips, thinking about a boy with eyes and hair dark as night.
Aunt Risa doesn’t have the heart to tell you that she’s seen his future in this life. And when you step out the creaky wooden door for the last time, ready to go back to the bustling jungle that is New York, she calls out to you with an expression you don’t yet recognise. “Don’t you worry, hun. You’ll see that Ushijima boy again.”
But not like this.
You’re about to get out of bed and dress for the first day of school when an out-of-control eighteen-wheeler runs his driver’s black SUV off the road. Ushijima Wakatoshi dies on August 13th in his timezone.
As it happens, you feel a strange sense of loss settle in. It’s like you’d been driving on the highway and just missed the last turn home.
(You’ll learn in the next life that you, in fact, do not have the gift of foresight. But you do have the curse of memory.)
Tumblr media
PARIS, FRANCE, 1749
The year is 1749 and sunlight pours through the windows of Ushijima Wakatoshi’s second-floor bedroom.
In this life–– your second life–– you are a brilliant composer. The Universe, as you’ve guessed, follows no rules, no directions. Doesn’t even spare a glance at a linear timeline. Or perhaps, it’s time that isn’t linear. Either way, you try not to think about things out of your control. Life is good now.
At the sound of your fingers waltzing across ivory and ebony, Ushijima slowly sits up in the king-sized, soft linen sheets falling to reveal his chiselled torso.
“Good morning,” he rasps, a content smile tugging at his lips. “You look enchanting as always.”
The melody stops. Between the lid and music rack, your eyes meet–– his gentle, yours mirthful. “You flatter me,” you deny with a cheeky grin. Still, you rise (wearing his robes, Ushijima notes) from your seat and stroll over to your lover, pressing a gentle kiss to his mouth. “Happy birthday, darling.”
“Thank you,” he murmurs against your lips. “I live another year just for you.” Ushijima really means that–– in fact, he believes with his whole heart that he was made for you and you him. There’s no other way to explain how your bodies mould so perfectly together, how you understand each other without even speaking, how time feels like it doesn’t exist whenever you’re around. Your meeting at Duke La Trémoille’s ball could only have been the work of Fate’s nimble fingers.
(It was. A ley line runs underneath the Duke’s family château.)
You hum, thankful that this time you have the privilege to love him as he lives. Your last life was spent agonising over the only memory you had of him. “And what does this day have in store for the man of the hour?” The words that leave your lips morph into bubbling laughter as he moves aside on the bed and pulls you into his embrace. Still giggling, you kiss his bare chest, relishing in how secure his arms feel around your waist.
“Mother is hosting a ball tonight in my honour,” he says. That you are not invited to, he doesn’t add. He doesn’t have to, though, because you know that she doesn’t approve of you. Not being French is the main reason why, but there’s also the fact that you’re a musician. A talented, accomplished, royally recognised musician, sure, but that doesn’t change how at the end of the day, all you have to your name is inked paper.
And Ushijima Wakatoshi is first in line for the throne of France.
“Ah.”
It’s hardly fair for you to feel slighted–– you knew what you were getting into the second the Crown Prince, notorious for his aloof nature, invited you to Versailles to perform for him and his friends.
(In his defense, Duke Tendou had forced his hand by threatening to throw a fit in front of the Queen, but only after he’d seen the painfully restrained wonder in the prince’s eyes.)
Still, you yearn for something more.
Ushijima feels your body stiffen in his arms and knows the moment has soured. “You can never be Queen of France,” he murmurs into your neck. Shivers crawl down your spine the same time tears prick at your eyes. “And I can never give you a throne.” It’s not the throne you yearn for.
“I know.” You curse whoever the lucky girl will be. And you curse Ushijima for reminding you that she will definitely not be you.
“I can only promise you my heart.” He presses his lips to the side of your neck. “My undying devotion.” A kiss to your exposed shoulder. “And my soul in every life we meet.” His hand slides under your chin and turns your head towards his. Soft lips move against yours while the pads of his fingers wipe away the tears that had spilled over your cheeks.
“Toshi, I must say that the literature tutor your mother hired is doing a marvellous job,” you murmur once you pull apart.
A short breath of amusement leaves his nose. “He’s only polishing a gem that already exists,” Ushijima counters.
You smile slyly, another witty remark ready to launch from your mouth, when three sharp knocks at the door cause both of you to freeze.
“My friends, the Devil approaches.” Tendou’s faint voice travels through the opulent front door.
Sighing, you slide off the bed and tug your day dress on. Without being asked, Ushijima ties the laces in the back together. “Tell your mother I said hello, won’t you?” you tease, kissing him deeply on the balcony.
“I’d prefer not to think about my mother with your lips pressed to mine, darling,” he replies.
You giggle softly, and with one leg dangling off the balustrade, say, “And careful not to wear yourself out dancing, Toshi. Expect a visit from me later.”
His sonorous laughter rings through the air as you jump and land deftly on the freshly cut grass below, running the whole way back to your humble apartment in the eleventh arrondissement.
Regrets of not sneaking into the ball will burn into your brain after Tendou arrives at your door later that evening with a faraway stare on his face.
Towards the end of the ball, Ushijima Wakatoshi is led away from the dance floor and into the gardens by his scheming younger brother Goshiki.
He doesn’t return. The beloved Crown Prince of France dies on his twenty-first birthday with a dagger in his chest and poison in his veins.
With two lives under your belt, you reach the cruel understanding that in every life you live, August 13th is the day that Ushijima Wakatoshi dies again and again and again.
In a sense, memory is foresight.
Tumblr media
NEO SEOUL, 2144
Tomorrow, the Union Revolutionary Group exposes the government for their crimes against your people.
But tonight, your head rests against his chest–– a habit you picked up sometime after Germany, 1943, even though you are presently in Neo Seoul, 2144. To be honest, you’re not sure if it’s even 2144. Neo Seoul’s calendar isn’t like the one you went through your first few lives with and you’re certain one year here is equivalent to two back on the Earth you knew… or something like that. Either way, every August 13th passes under your nose without detection. Every day passes uneasily, because although you never truly know when anyone dies in any life, you really don’t know when he will in this one.
But hearing Ushijima’s heart beat firmly manages to take the edge off yours. Every pulse is a murmured confirmation that everything is still okay.
You jerk back when he stirs from sleep. Disorientated, Ushijima blinks at your dimly lit figure before registering that it’s you. A confused expression crosses his features. What had you just been doing?
“Is everything alright?” His voice is raspy with drowsiness but he sits upright against the headboard anyway.
“Yeah.”
“No, it’s not. Tell me what’s wrong.” Nothing ever slips past him–– at least, not when it comes to you. Still, you bite your lip and contemplate if it’s worth mentioning. Three years of working alongside the renegade Commander (and hundreds more from other lifetimes) have taught you that words of comfort do not belong in Ushijima’s vocabulary. But it’s the night before you, the only known freed Fabricant working with the Union, are going to expose the Unanimity’s enslavement of Fabricants to all inhabitants of Neo Seoul. And…
“I’m scared, Wakatoshi.”
He thinks you’re talking about tomorrow. His eyes dart to the holographic digits floating throughout his room. 12:02 AM. You’re talking about today, then. He’s not wrong–– you are afraid of today. But you’re also afraid every day.
Ushijima pauses, wondering what to say. He’s never felt fear the same way others do. Others might only see a myriad of ways they can fail or die but he simply sees a chance to prove himself. A chance to emerge victorious. “If you let yourself be scared,” he says, “then you lose without fighting. Fear is a wasted emotion. Even at your last breath, you should never be afraid.”
As you mull his words over in your head, a section of your hair falls in front of your face. Ushijima’s fingers twitch. Would it be too much to––
“Then what should I feel instead?” He stills.
The question hangs in the air, thickening until the spacious room feels suffocating. Normal people–– people you knew a couple of lifetimes ago–– would probably say something like “love” or “hope” or even “don’t”. You think Ushijima might, too.
But when Ushijima speaks, he says, “Feel right now.”
A shift in the moonbeam pouring through your surrounding glass walls casts a muted glow over your features, breaking through the darkness of the room. Ushijima’s olive eyes flash and fall to your shining lips.
His Adam’s apple bobs. Anticipation bubbles in your stomach.
You think that you might die tomorrow. He might die any day. What are you waiting for?
Feeling a fiery rush of blood surge through your veins, you close the distance between your bodies until the tips of your noses touch. Gently, your hand comes up to the back of his neck, feeling his pulse speed up under your fingers. He instantly reaches out, grips your waist firmly. Hot, uneven breaths fan across your face.
“What––”
“I know it’s forbidden between Fabricants and pure-bloods,” you breathe out, “but––”
Ushijima nudges his lips against yours. They move stiffly, unsurely, but it’s sincere. It’s his first kiss and it’s your… you’ve lost count by now. It doesn’t really matter, though. Past, future, or present, every one of his touches feels new.
Both of you might die tomorrow. But tonight, you both are so very alive.
And when his heart pounds, unmuffled, bare against yours, you are reminded to live now.
Twenty-one hours later, a laser beam whizzes past your ear.
“Go faster!” you shout over the wind, tightening your arms around Ushijima’s waist. “We have to get to the broadcast station now.”
“I’m trying,” he grits out, pressing his foot harder against the hoverbike’s pedal. You speed up, but only a little. “Fuck. Remember what I taught you about the laser pistols?”
“Always aim a little higher than you want to.” From the mirrors on the side, you see the corners of his lips quirk up. You reach for the gun in his belt.
Not a single police officer remains on your tail when you step foot into the broadcast station.
“We don’t have much time, miracle girl,” Tendou, a fellow Union soldier, says once you arrive. He punches the elevator button. Instantly, the chute opens. “Cameras have picked up on at least five Unanimity squads headed our way from the city.”
The sinking feeling that today out of all days might be August 13th suddenly weighs on your stomach. A shaky breath leaves your mouth.
Ushijima stops you before you can step in. Cupping your face with his large hands, the brunet gazes deeply into your eyes. “I believe in you,” he murmurs. “I believe in you.” His fingers brush against your cheekbones. You let your eyelids close, relishing in this stolen moment between two new lovers.
Ushijima presses his lips against yours, kissing you as if he’s trying to carve a message into your bones. He whispers his conviction one last time before stepping back and allowing Tendou to push you lightly into the elevator. The thought that Ushijima’s words allude to more than just faith nudges your brain as the two men grow smaller in your sight.
Halfway through your revelations, the Unanimity cuts through the metal doors of the station. Behind the glass panels encasing the radio room, you watch the shootout begin. Every bone in your body screams for you to join your comrades, but you remember what your orders are. No matter what happens, do not stop the broadcast. If the truth doesn’t come out now, the Union will have sacrificed everything in vain.
You will your voice to steady when Unanimity soldiers take out the Union soldiers hiding behind Tendou’s barricade.
You will your hands to unclench when Ushijima deftly slides over his squad’s barricade and tosses a plasma grenade towards a cluster of enemy soldiers, then picks off the survivors with his Union rifle.
You will your breath to endure when the brunet is blown back by a grenade tossed by another squadron. Ushijima’s cranium collides with the floor. His body stills; blood red as cherry wine pools around his head like a cruel halo. Swallowing, you push forth. You’re a soldier.
But you can’t help the way your throat dries or hands shake or lungs tighten when you see his head turn ever-so-slightly in your direction.
He smiles in his last breath.
(The Archivist asks if you loved Ushijima before you are taken away. You tell him you always have, do, will.
The Unanimity guillotine doesn’t scare you like you think it should. Knowing what and who waits ahead, it feels more like a kiss to your neck.)
Tumblr media
QAASUURI, 3003
As you step out of the metal carriage, the ground beneath you begins to vibrate. This, as you’ve learned, can only mean that you are standing atop another ley line.
Olive eyes stare at you impassively when you look up. A dazzling array of awards and medals is pinned to his chest over a white military uniform. Compared to all the other soldiers around him, you gather that the deep purple cape over his shoulders means he’s someone important. Possibly your betrothed? You briefly recall another lifetime in which he’d been the crown prince of somewhere, and you, by a spectacular stroke of misfortune, had only been a composer then. Fighting back a smug grin, you muse that this time, you are a princess.
“Ushijima Wakatoshi, Captain of the Qaasuuri Royal Guard, at your service,” he says with a low bow. “King Washijou appointed me to ensure your safety during your courtship with the prince, your highness. These are trying times, especially with the war against Ibis.” Your heart falls. So it’s one of those lives.
Mustering the warmest smile you can, you curtsy and say, “Thank you, Ushijima. I hope we can get to know each other better.”
You do.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the Qaasuuri are a race more android than human. But nothing about him feels artificial. He is as real as he was in Berlin. Atlantis. Cairo. Camelot. Hanoi. Olympus. Tallahassee. He feels as human, too.
You get to relearn the way his cheeks flare up when you call him Toshi and not Ushijima for his first time (force of habit)... and every subsequent time (at your pleasure).
You get to relearn his wry humour, how every-so-often his stony demeanour breaks after one of your quick jabs, usually in response to his agonisingly blunt remarks. (“You should have brought a coat, princess,” he notes with disapproval when you shiver in the chilly spring air. You promise him that you look better with hypothermia than in any Qaasuuri coat. An amused breath blows out from his nose. And though he doesn’t say a word more on the subject, his white jacket over your shoulders speaks more than enough.)
You get to relearn how his hands feel on your skin. The first lesson is your mistake: missing a step down the spiralling staircase on your way to dinner. Automatically, his hand grips your arm to pull you back. He uses a little more force than necessary, though, and tugs you into his firm chest. Neither of you can look at each other for the rest of the evening. The second is his mistake: reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind your ear as you read in the palace library, somehow knowing it’s one of your pet peeves. Both of you freeze when his fingers accidentally brush against your cheek. Ushijima thinks he’s never felt skin softer than yours–– you think it’s been too long since he last touched you.
The third is neither a mistake nor just one of your doings. It happens on a cool autumn evening as the two of you walk through the palace gardens with your hands dangling haphazardly at your sides, knocking against each other again and again as if begging for an opening. Finally, you acquiesce. You slip your hand into Ushijima’s cold palms. And though nothing shows on his stony face, his heart whirrs like an overheating engine for the rest of your walk. He doesn’t let go until the iron palace comes back into view.
“We should stop,” he pants between fervent kisses, “before this gets out of hand.” You nip at his neck. “You’re betrothed to the prince––” you suck on the skin between his collarbones and throat, drawing a low groan from his lips “––and I can never give you a throne.”
You pull back, knees on either side of his waist, and stare down into his eyes. “I don’t want a throne.” Ushijima watches you with rapt attention. Sometimes you wonder if maybe, just maybe, he remembers. Slowly, you repeat his words from lifetimes ago. “I only want your heart.” An unreadable expression crosses his face. “Your devotion.” It’s not recognition. “And your soul.”
It’s conviction.
By now you’ve seen many breathtaking things: entire cities built from ice, the end of the ocean, a Venusian sunrise. None compare to Ushijima Wakatoshi with his pupils blown wide, hair tousled, lips flushed. Red with love.
None compare when he promises, “You have that and more.”
A pause.
“Show me.”
With an effortless flip, Ushijima’s muscled body hovers over yours, olive eyes flashing wildly in your dim chambers.
Amid fast breaths and guttural moans, amid steely olive eyes and parted lips, amid the subatomic space between your bodies, you feel it cloak your skin like armour.
Love.
(The Ibis storm the Qaasuuri castle one month before the wedding. Ushijima fights the invaders valiantly, superhuman modifications undoubtedly being of help. But there’s just too many of them. The last thing he tells you is to run. The world burns when you look over your shoulder, only to see a Ibisian sword drive through his heart.
The Qaasuuri are a race more android than human. But they still bleed the same.)
Tumblr media
TOKYO, JAPAN, 2018
The oldest you ever witness him live to is thirty-two years old.
It’s the morning of August 13th and you walk into the kitchen to the sight of Ushijima Wakatoshi lifting your daughter up into the sky, spinning her little body around in circles, the pancakes on the stove slowly bronzing to a mouthwatering shade of gold.
“Mommy!” she giggles when she sees you. Leaning against the doorframe with your arms crossed, you watch your husband set your daughter back down on the ground with a soft smile on his face.
“Sleep well?” you ask, ruffling her hair. She nods happily and bounces back to the stove. Her latest obsession has been cooking in the kitchen, though you’re not sure when exactly she moved on from “potion-making” in the backyard.
“Morning,” Ushijima murmurs, wrapping an arm around your waist and pressing a kiss to your lips.
“Happy birthday, handsome,” you tease, leaning into his chest. As the words leave your mouth, the sunny morning haze cools into desaturated blue. But it’s been thirty-two years, you reason with a hard swallow. Maybe the cycle has broken. Your eyes dart to your daughter’s little figure on the stepping stool, her small hands gripping the spatula flipping a bronzed pancake over to its pale side. How would she…
You steel yourself, though a small fissure can’t help but open in your heart from the force.
She isn’t your first child and she won’t be your last. Time, you’ve learned, likes to play games, likes to set you on the same storyline again and again just to see if another ending will show itself. There will be more tomorrows and more yesterdays. There always is.
But that doesn’t make todays hurt any less.
Ushijima tilts his head to the side, olive eyes peering into yours. “Is everything okay?” He never misses (or missed) anything–– not when the two of you were heisting in Switzerland or revelling in Alexandria like Dionysians, not when you were crammed in the same codebreaking room during World War I or sailed across the Atlantic to your doom in 1912. Not now.
But you’re tired of carrying each bygone lifetime into the next. Willing yourself to forget the fact that you’ve seen him die again and again on August 13th, you put everything into the lie that slips your teeth: “More than okay.”
You choose to cherish the present.
“Order up!” your daughter exclaims, proudly presenting the plate of pancakes to you and Ushijima. “I even made one shaped like a heart for Dad for his birthday!”
With a grin, you come closer to inspect the heart-shaped pancake. “Excellent work, sous chef!” you compliment, tapping her nose lightly. It’s sharp like her father’s. She, however, inherited your eyes. You turn around to face your husband. “What does Head Chef Ushijima think?”
Smiling softly, he takes the plate from her hands and, without a second look, says, “It’s perfect. Thank you, sweetheart.”
Breakfast passes in a blur of laughter and honey.
(You think you have gone through another August 13th unscathed when night falls and all of your friends exit through the cherry wood doors of one of Tokyo’s finest restaurants. On the car ride home, however, your white SUV swerves to avoid a deer in the road and flips once, twice, three times.
You wake up neither a mother nor a wife.)
Tumblr media
TOKYO, JAPAN, 2020
A subtle sigh of relief exits your lungs when Ushijima Wakatoshi enters through the front door at 12:01 AM, red Team Japan suitcase in hand. He’s back from the airport. More importantly, he’s alive.
“Did I make it?” he asks with an upturned corner of his mouth. His olive eyes are half-closed from the exhausting transatlantic flight and his muscles are still a bit sore from how vigorously he played the game against Argentina (Oikawa’s team, for god’s sake)... but he’s here.
And he can’t be any happier.
You know that he’s talking about the time, probably hoping to joke that coming home to you is the best birthday present he can imagine. In that regard, he technically hasn’t made it.
And yet, you leap into his arms and press kisses all over his face as you repeat “yes” again
and again
and again.

Pros and Cons of Loving a Pisces
Did you fall in love with an etheric Pisces? If yes, then this article is for you.
Pisces is the 12th and the last zodiac sign, it’s ruling planet is Neptune, it’s element water and patron god Poseidon.
Pisces corresponds with the phlegmatic temperament and its gemstone is amethyst.
Good sides of loving a Pisces
#1. Pisces are dreamy and ethereal
As the last zodiac sign, they contain attributes of all the previous signs within themselves. They are the last frontier between the mundane and astral world.
Pisces have this mysterious aura about them, they can tell you the past, the present and the future, through their dreams they have already seen your coming and they know where you want to go.
Pisces can look into your soul and there’s not much you can hide from them.
#2. Pisces are forgiving
Many signs struggle with forgiveness, whereas Pisces are born with it. Forgiveness comes natural to them, and they are able to forgive even the worst transgressions. This is, ultimately bad. For them.
Pisces have different values and different things are important to them than to the rest of the zodiac, they see things differently, thus they give off this feeling that they are not of this world.
#3 Pisces are psychic
Pisces come into this plane with special gifts, they come here to elevate the humanity to a higher frequency, to heal and to help others. As such, Pisces are very gentle souls who have a lot of compassion and kindness in them.
Pisces can be a nexus between you and the other world, ask them a question and let them go to sleep, their dreams will most likely give you an answer that you seek.
#4. Pisces are very sensual
Their touch relays the depths of their emotions and imagination. They can paint images from other realms on your skin and you don’t even have to be able to see it with your eyes, as you will surely feel it with your heart.
Pisceans are passionate in an etheric way, they know their way around the human skin like no other, and their touch is one of the most magical things you can experience, ever.
#5. Pisces love long talks and walks on the beach
Pisces are very romantic people. They have a certain taste for long talks that stretch deep into the night under the stars. Through those talks they show their true face and love for you.
Taking your Pisces out for a long walk along the shoreline can be a special experience. Pisces are in their element and next to the water, so don’t be surprised if you witness something extraordinary as you walk down that path.
#6. Pisces are amazing artists
Whether their medium is music, painting, writing or photography, Pisces have an uncanny way of connecting the separated worlds through their art. Showing their love for you through their art is also one of their special gifts.
Bad sides of loving a Pisces
#1. Pisces are depression-prone
Being a gentle soul stuck between the worlds, forgiving and loving is not an easy task in this world and this society.
Which is why Pisces need all the love and support they can get. Although it may seem like they have played with your emotions, you are not to play with theirs, they might not survive it.
#2. Pisces are excellent liars
With Neptune – the lord of illusions, fog and dreams as their patron deity, it’s only natural that they are so natural at lying.
If need be, Pisces would be able to lead you thirsty across the water and you wouldn’t even flinch. They are dangerous players if they decide to use their powers for personal gain.
#3. Pisces have addictive nature
Whether it is alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, gambling or overeating – Pisces know all about it. For them it’s very easy to fall prey to the addictions that plague this society.
If they don’t respect their gifts, their bodies and their mission that they came to do while here, they often fall into some kind of addiction, and loving a person who’s addicted to something scarcely leads to happiness.
#4 Pisces are prone to ghosting
Often Pisces find it all too much. As they would say “it’s a hassle”, so without any explanation or even a hint, they can be gone from your life and you are left wondering where did you go wrong and what happened.
#5 The ghost of Christmas past
When there’s Mercury Retrograde, Pisces exes are prone to rising from their ghosting graves and pestering you.
They will allure you with illusions of true love and romantic happiness. It’s best to stay away as their interest in you will last as long as the retrograde lasts.
#6. Too forgiving
Since Pisces can forgive everything to everyone, you might be stuck next to someone who is always being used and led by others blindly. You might experience losses due to their overly forgiving nature.
If you are very proud and tend to be inflexible when it comes to your reputation, Pisces might not be the best option for dating for you.

not me drawing and interpreting proper astrological birth charts for the jjk main trio now that the official fan book finally gave us their birthplace in addition to their birthday 👀
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Explanation under the cut! (edited to be more beginner friendly)
Quick disclaimer ig: this is just my personal interpretation of these placements. If you read the way I describe something and you think to yourself “hang on, I have this placement and this doesn’t sound like me at all” that would be because a) I am an amateur astrologer and I do this for fun, I don’t know everything about every sign/planet, and b) no placement exists in isolation - it’s influenced by the house it’s in as well as any other planets aspecting it - so it’s possible that the placement manifests in a less conventional/standard way due you because of such factors.
EDIT: my first draft of this post was not super beginner friendly so here’s a quick astrology 101 to help people understand wtf I’m talking about. Skip to the next photo if you don’t need a primer.
Everyone has ten main planets in their birth chart, each of those planets will fall under a different sign depending on when and where you were born. The planet governs an area of your personality, the sign shows what that area of your personality is like. Some quick definitions of the relevant planets for this post:
Sun: the one everyone thinks of when asked ‘what’s your star sign’. Your basic personality, your core, your ego.
Moon: symbolises emotion, intuition, your private internal world, and how feelings are expressed.
Mercury: symbolises communication, intellectual reasoning, and how you learn.
Venus: symbolises romance, aesthetics, how you socialize, and pleasure-seeking behaviours like shopping or sightseeing.
Mars: the source of your passion/drive/motivation. Symbolises where and how you expend your energy.
Retrograde: not a planet, just something the planets do sometimes. At some points in the year the planets look like they’re moving ‘backwards’ through the sky, and this alters their influence on the birth chart.
I think that’s probably enough but shoot me an ask if you’re curious/confused! I’m always happy to talk astrology (clearly lol)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Megumi... I always suspected he had scorpio influence somewhere in his chart and turns out I was right!! Not only scorpio venus but scorpio mars too?? I’m obsessed with this. Scorpio is a water sign (read: big on emotions), the embodiment of the phrase ‘still waters run deep’, and though scorpio placements are not always loud about their affection they tend to bond in a pretty intense way with their chosen people. Those venus and mars placements together really do speak of ride or die devotion - no wonder he’s Like That when it comes to Yuuji people he cares about.
His jupiter and saturn are both in retrograde; I would not have predicted it because I don’t think about natal retrograde all that much, but it actually makes a lot of sense imo. Retrograde jupiter usually indicates someone who is internally very philosophical in the sense that the person will define their own firm moral/ethical code instead of following a familial or societal belief system, which is pretty much megumi ‘I save people according to my own conscience’ fushiguro in a nutshell. While retrograde saturn is basically like. On the outside you’re stoic but on the inside you’re a worrywart, and you take responsibility Super Seriously but you also don’t like people with authority pushing you around needlessly. Which is also megumi in a nutshell lol.
His leo moon was a surprise but I honestly think it works for him because this is definitely where Unhinged Feral Megumi comes from: when he decides to go all out he gets such a flair for the dramatic. capricorn sun and capricorn mercury are pretty intuitive tbh, he really gives off capricorn vibes - practical, reserved, loyal, ambitious and tenacious, possessing a dry wit, capable of putting in steady hard work to get to where he wants to be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was already aware of Nobara’s leo sun because we’ve had their birth dates for a while now (birthplace is the new info which lets me draw the whole chart). But her cancer moon is such a lovely placement under that hard outer shell of hers. Nobara seems like she does not have a nurturing bone in her body, but it’s wrong to stereotype cancers as exclusively homebody motherly types - they have deep loyalty for their chosen family/home and they’ll go to the ends of the earth for those people in their own way whatever that may be... she really is a softie deep down 🥰 she really does care 🥰 thinkin about the end of her ch 125 flashback in this context
Nobara’s virgo mercury is actually kind of funny to me because while it indicates a natural gift for intellect and a talent for sorting out the fine details, it also has the potential to make someone a harsh critic who can nitpick and be quite blunt in stating their opinions... this is very Nobara, she does Not spare the feelings of anyone she is talking to lol.
Libra venus!! She has libra venus that’s so perfect!!! this placement is sophisticated and charming and always classy, these people adore that classic chocolates-and-roses romance but they turn love of all kinds into an art form. Traditionally the placement is also associated with people who care about beauty and harmony, who will go out of their way to look good for their companions. Also her leo mars... I love that. It’s really amplifying her bold outspoken flashy self-loving take-charge nature. Queen energy right here.
She has a bunch of natal retrogrades but the one I want to talk about is retrograde uranus... this one is Very fitting and again almost funny in the context of her character. You know how she’s always convinced she’s the only sane person in the room when actually she’s the unhinged one 24/7 and not self aware about that in the slightest? Yeah. That’s big retrograde uranus vibes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh Yuuji... I could talk about your pisces sun all day 🥺 I could get Very technical and meta about the pisces association with the twelfth house and the fact that it’s ruled by neptune and what that says about his character, but I don’t have the room or the time so I’ll save that for another post. For now I’ll just say that the fact that he cares so deeply for others regardless of how well he knows them, the way he feels his feelings so intensely and is very intuituve/sensitive to others needs, him being interested in the occult before he ever found Sukuna’s fist finger, it all just seems more pisces to me than any other sign. And him having pisces mercury + pisces uranus in addition to his sun is also very sweet... our boy really thinks with his heart at all hours of the day doesn’t he?
His libra moon is such a fitting placement, too, because this moon is all about relationships - not just romance but bonds of all kinds, friends and family and companions of any sort. Yuuji as a character is so motivated by the bonds he shares with others and his desire to not be alone, especially on his deathbed. Libra moons are charming and personable and find it very easy to connect with others, they are deeply concerned with justice and will be accepting of everyone except for people who are cruel (exhibit a: just look how he responded to mahito). I think it’s a very apt moon for him to have.
Tbh if I were picking and choosing I might have loaded him up with yet more pisces energy and given him my favourite placement in the whole world, venus in pisces. But he actually has an aquarius venus and I think that’s so interesting! The part of this placement that speaks to his character for me is the way that aquarius venus love is defined by radical acceptance - there is never any judgement (I won’t judge you, Junpei!), because this venus seeks not only to see and understand but to be seen and understood in turn. Some say aquarius venus is an emotionally detached placement. I think that’s a mischaracterisation, but it is true that aquarius placements can be low key scared of intimacy and vulnerability even when they crave it lmao. An aquarius venus will sort through turmoil in their heart by retreating to think it over in isolation, rather than by submitting to the mortifying ordeal of being known and reaching out. Manga readers if u know u know
All I can say about his capricorn mars is that it definitely embodies that determined protagonist vibe. Thoughts like ‘I want to get stronger, I want to be the best, I’ll put in the work to come out on top’ are very capricorn thoughts to have, and the drive and forward momentum associated with mars really push them to the front of his character. But also, again; an underdeveloped capricorn mars under stress will shut out possibilities for connection with loved ones by dedicating themselves to their job or cause. Yuuji learn healthy coping mechanisms challenge 2k21.

Lunae Plenae Aries
Full moon in Aries, tomorrow, October 1st stargazers. Perhaps you’ve been feeling the effects already. The moon will be conjunct Chiron meaning, on top of all the feels all that Martian energy brings, you’ll be feeling even more with the contact it’s making to the minor planet. Aries is fire and fire is life. It’s pure cardinal energy. In its purest form, said energy shoots from the hip, charges full steam ahead first and asks questions later. In addition, Mars retrograde in Aries is still going on forming a square to Saturn in Capricorn. It’s important to be gentle with yourself and others right now. The Sun is in Libra so do not forget to give yourself grace. Again, Chiron is in the mix but Chiron is a healer, teacher and mentor. Chiron is literally the coach of countless mythic heroes. Let his energy coach you and show you where old triggers are stemming from. This is very intense energy but this too shall pass.
What to expect during this lunation
Old wounds resurfacing
Fears
Pain
Compulsive tendencies
Resentment
Aggression
Spike in libido [horniness]
Jealousy
Feelings of restriction
Disagreements with Authority
Wanting to break free from old structures
Look specifically where Aries lands in your chart for indicators on where this energy will manifest the most. For further illustration:
How to Handle This Energy Through the Signs
Aries
The full moon is happening in your sign, Rams. Emotions will be more amplified for you. Try not to lose control, even though personal tension and disagreements in love, work, or family relationships can leave you feeling wiped out and even drained. Honor your needs, first so as to avoid feeling guilt and frustration over others. Share love of course but you can’t take care of others if you don’t look out for yourself, first. If you have to take a mental day, do so. Some solitude could be good for you. incorporate some quiet meditation, reading, catching up on projects you may have neglected. Hikes in nature. All this can help you combat the intensity you’ll be feeling.
Taurus
Let go and live, Taurus.  Things from the past may be bothering you but they’re in the past for a reason. As a fixed sign, it may be hard for you to let go but what has happened has shaped and molded you for a reason. Private emotional tension is rising like bile for you- all stemming from the subconscious. This can cause you to feel like you’re butting heads with others- particularly those in positions of authority. Feel it but don’t let it over-take you. Work on your creative passions. Try and compose a new song, cook a new dish, bake something- get your hands dirty. Create a vision board to compartmentalize things.
Gemini
Using your voice is something that comes naturally to you- jus take care to chose your words wisely. Some things are better left unsaid. Sometimes silence is better than having the last word. Though it may be hard and something that causes you discomfort, you’ll come out of this feeling reshaped and better moving forward. Take a little break from social media if you must- you may be more prone to feisty disagreements with people in circle: colleagues, friends, or even followers. Write your thoughts down in a journal or simply save them in a draft so you can review them later.
Cancer
Full moon wants you to focus on completion, Cancer. Are there details you’ve been avoiding? Time to chop them up and hash them out [for yourself]. You have to complete things so you can fully move forward into the new. Aries is a fellow cardinal sign so it will be nudging you to embrace your natural vibe/modality. You’ll want to break free and start something without the restrictions of authority whom you may be combating now. Just remember you’re still a sensitive soul and confrontations can be draining. Take time to not give too much of your energy to others. Remember though you’re cardinal, you are water. Spend some time near [the element] if you can. Take a bath once you’re done completing things you’ve put off. Don’t engage in things that don’t concern you.
Leo
You need to trust your heart. You may be triggered in love or love may be in the air. Just remember, love isn’t always about another person but can completely be about YOU. Self love is a thing, you know. You need to embrace that. Don’t allow yourself to try to appease others too much during this lunation. People feel that because of your regal energy, you’re already full of it but you know where you struggle. Though you might find yourself the center of attention, the full moon is affecting your ego, personal beliefs or point of view- it could may rub others the wrong way. Don’t allow yourself to feel too insecure, and if you do, take some time to relax, do some throat chakra work which may be getting affected now. You’ll be thankful later.
Virgo
Virgo, your attention to detail is finding a lot of balance now. Don’t lose momentum. You’re capable of everything, just keep your eye on the prize. Though right now, a few issues in the financial sector or even contract negotiations may be causing some unwelcome stress, don’t let these aggravations cause you to become ruthless with your words. Don’t let it effect your self-worth. You are pros at organizing and handling things with finesse, let your mercurial energy keep you on top of things and gathered so you don’t snap, lose focus, make simple mistakes and regret it later
Libra
Happy birthday, Libra! You may be feeling quite indecisive lately. Don’t let yourself live in that energy. You can be your own worst enemy at times with this. It can cause your personal relationships to suffer. Wanting to appease others and shutting yourself away can leave you feeling exhausted. That’s not what you need during your solar-return season. Take time to learn how to say NO with no explanations. Take time make your demands of others diplomatically but with firmness and emphasis. You’ll gain that respect you’re so longing for.
Scorpio
Fellow arachnids, the full moon is happening in our co-rulers domain. You’ll be drained, exhausted but finding others asking and making more demands of you and your time. Don’t pull out that stinger and lash out. Relax. Be fair. Don’t let others’ current behavior cause you to unfairly judge them/compare them to people who’ve hurt you in the past. Old Trauma’s may feel as fresh as when they first occurred. But not everyone is the same. If you don’t honor and release stressful or negative emotions, they’ll manifest in worse and more unsavory ways. Do some sacral chakra work. Mediate. Take a long bath- it’ll feel good with this cooler weather. If you have to, do some boxing or watch a good action film and live vicariously through the characters. This can help ground you and channel your energy through a healthier outlet. 
Sagittarius
This lunation can cause you to be feistier than usual. You’re a fire sign just like Aries. Though you’re known for your blunt and unapologetic speech nature, it may be more powerful to keep your opinions to yourself. It will be for your highest good. You are in control of your thoughts and emotions, with that being said, don’t let others influence your inner voice. Jupiter is your ruler and he rules philosophy. Remember philosophy states, all is opinion, not fact. Embracing that sentiment can allow you to graduate to more maturity and wisdom. Perhaps schedule a local adventure. If you’ve felt cloistered during quarantine,  experiencing new places can give you a new and healthier take on things and life in general. You’ll have a healthy outlet to exert your energy and your explorative nature. 
Capricorn
You’re a hard working sign, Cap. Though your tenacity will be paying off, your home and emotional center could be draining or preoccupying you.  Some professional or career choices could be causing you stress or your family or relationships some conflict.heated exchanges or opinions you didn’t ask for could be coming from all sides. Honoring yourself, is imperative. Love yourself, first. As a work-oriented sign, you seagoats have a tendency to try and cope with your emotional state by burying yourself in it. We all have our ways of dealing but perhaps taking time off, having fun, or simply enjoying a quiet walk, glass of wine or a good night of [physical] pleasure might be useful to you. Connect with earth and don’t allow yourself to succumb to cherophobia.
Aquarius
The full moon wants you to build a solid foundation. You have a tendency towards scattered energy and eccentricity, which is fine sometimes but Aries energy could cause you to feel like things are haywire right now.  Your opinionated nature could cause you to come to blows unnecessarily. Hidden aggression may be brought to the surface. Old insecurities about your individuality can arise as well. This is never a fun feeling. Take some time to share what’s on your mind but articulate your thoughts in a private way. Journaling, talking to a close friend, a counselor or therapist. Chanting meditation or even reading can help you subconsciously compartmentalize your thoughts. 
Pisces
Harsh realities may be hitting now But you are stronger than you [and others] typically give yourself credit for. Conversations surrounding your money, or thoughts of a new living could be dominating your thoughts. This lunation is making you realize your worth but also adding a tint of anger and saltiness to it as well. It’s okay to realize what you deserve without going overboard. Most of it stems from frustrations from the past [and people] not honoring you and your strengths or attempting to run rough-shod over you. If you haven’t learned to do this yet, just remember not setting boundaries allows others free reign to violate them. Take time to set hard lines if you haven’t. Take time to look at your budgets. Bills you need to pay. Projects to finish. Organization is key now so it may be time to get those heads out of the clouds and set some structure. When all is said and done, no one can ever say you didn’t have your shit together.

Hi! I’ve read your ask rules! Can u please tell me about
Scorpio Jupiter in 1st and Libra rising,
Sagittarius mercury rx in 2nd house,
Taurus mars rx in 7th house,
Capricorn Venus and Sagittarius Pluto in 3rd house?
Hi Acmishere, thank you for being very patient and polite🤍
Libra Rising🧴
I have explained libra rising several times but I am going to give you a general view and then you can check other libra rising explanations. Libra rising people is very charming ik is stereotypical but I swear these people are. Libra risings tend to have fear of rejection as well, very calm and funny nothing like very loud in fact very likable people. The thing with libra risings is that they tend to be very likable that people think that they are fake or things like that.
Scorpio Jupiter in the 1st house🏵
Scorpio Jupiter natives have a great way of understanding people and helping through difficulties. I think in the 1st house you can be very observant of people, analyzing what they are doing or things like that. You can be more private I would say. You can be kind of intense while meeting people because you are noticing every single detail. I think you can be a very generous person and very funny to be around. Very jovial and open minded. Very confident as well or you appear confident in from of the world.
Sag Mercury rx in the 2nd house🍯
so sag mercury people are very intelligent in my opinion and always wanting to learn, foreign things can be appealing to you. Rx maybe is difficult for your to express yourself and you can get misunderstood very easily and the way you process and think things are different. In the 2nd house that is what you value, you can get income from your words and way of explaining yourself. You value a lot skills like writing, maybe like songwriting, or journaling. Self esteem can fluctuate a lot because mercury is not stable at all, is very fast, so fluctuations are easy to see. Voice is very changeable because the mutable energy is very obvious.
Taurus Mars rx in the 7th house🎀
i have taurus mars rx in my 3rd house jsjsjs! But getting started with the description, first of all mars doesn’t feel comfortable in taurus of course due the venusian energy, this makes the taurus mars individual very laid back and patient, very very patient. Tend to have self control of your emotions specially because venusian energy don’t like conflicts so taurus tries to avoid it. When it’s retrograde doesn’t matter the sign these natives have issues when they are angry, they can be so self destructive. They don’t know how to express anger in a great way to be honest, they tend to bottle up their emotions and when they are full don’t know how really express it so most of the times this leads to self destructive actions. When it comes to passion and taking action they are pretty slow. In the 7th house you may attract people that is fiery with taurus placements? Stubborn and intense lovers I would say. Tend to have a lot of conflicts in relationships. Dramatic and intense relationships. Enemies can be very passive aggressive.
Capricorn Venus in the 3rd house🪁
capricorn venus people tend to be very serious when dating, these people would rather be alone than having a relationship that you don’t like. Being a cardinal sign they are very relationship oriented and hate losing their time. In the 3rd house the seriousness is not that evident, having a lot of crushes and being attracted to people that gives you a log of mental stimulation, and love very jovial people as well. You love learning and tend to be very loved by your neighborhood.
Sag Pluto in the 3rd house🍧
pluto is the transformational one, so your community, your city, those things are very important in your transformational journey specially communication, discovery, learning. Pluto transforms your idea of communication and learning. I really see with this placement being very detective oriented, like psychology even sexology. Doing research in taboo things, the community where you used to live like the neighborhood you had while little could be very secretive and even dark people. Life long learners. Never satisfied with the learning you have like you tend to be obsessive with learning more and more.

All Yours (Grayson Dolan Fanfic)
A/N: I’m so sorry I can’t really tell what this is anymore I just. Needed to finish it. This is absolutely way too long and prolly bad but here you go :)
Basically it’s just Grayson getting super duper jealous and paranoid of how close his girlfriend and Ethan are 
Hope everyone’s doing well. Love you guys <3
Word Count: 4.6K
“E you’re literally kidding me right now.”
“Bro it’s literally true you’ve been here the entire time you have EVIDENCE!”
“OH MY GOD ETHAN your life was not going to shit because of mercury being in retrograde! That makes no fucking sense!”
“HOW can you say that-“
“Do you know what retrograde even IS?”
“Y/N y-“
“Shut the fuck up im trying to educate you. ‘Mercury being in rEtRoGrAdE’ is just us seeing mercury’s orbit from EARTH-“
“Dude-“
“LISTEN YOU DUMBASS it’s SCIENCE we’re just OBSERVING another orbit while we are ALSO orbiting around the SAME THING-“
“BRO I-“
“Grayson tell him he’s a fucking idiot!”
“HOE he’s literally the one who found the store to buy us those stones!”
She whipped her head around in shock with a slight undertone of disgust. “GRAYSON!”
Grayson looked up from his phone. “Do not drag me into this.”
“Grayson you fucking dUMBASS-“
“Baby-“
“PLEASE tell me it was a joke. You were just committing to the joke.”
He went back to his phone.
“GRAYSON PLEASE-“
“Y/N THERE’S NO OTHER EXPLANATION FOR HOW SHITTY THIS WEEK HAS BEEN-“ Ethan exclaimed.
“Oh I’m gonna-“ she jumped off the couch and lunged towards him, ready to pounce, but Grayson grabbed her waist to hold her back. 
“Honey you have got to chill.”
“It is not my fault that Ethan can’t understand BASIC TENTH GRADE SCIENCE-“
“JOKE’S ON YOU I NEVER WENT TO TENTH GRADE-“
“You FUCKER-“
“BABE CALM THE FUCK DOWN!” He yanked her back, and she fell back on top of his chest.
“Can’t you open your mind for one second Y/N-“ 
“E stop instigating her!” He said, trying to keep a growling Y/N locked in his arms.
“It’s a COINCIDENCE! It’s a  scientific phenomenon that happens with lots of satellites in space but has no relation to Earth or us whatsoever and has NOTHING TO DO with your SHITTY WEEK ETHAN! You are just incredibly unlucky!”
“Okay babe you’re actually scaring me maybe turn the rage down a bit?” Gray asked, trying for a soothing tone.
“And you on the other hand! Are you stupid? Are you literally stupid Grayson-“
“BABY-“
She bent down and bit on his arm and he yelped , letting go more out of surprise than in pain.
“Y/N WHAT THE FUCK?” He rubbed his arm and pouted at her.
“Everyone who lives here is a FUCKING IDIOT!” She yelled, storming out of living room and into the kitchen.
A few seconds pass.
...
“You’re not really mad though, right?” Ethan said quietly after clearing his throat.
Y/N walked back into the living room, now holding a bag of potato chips. “Nah, I’m just bored and wanted to argue.”
She plopped herself onto the couch next to Ethan and smiled at him, and he rolled his eyes, but it got a laugh out of Grayson.
“So we cool?” Ethan eyed her warily. 
“Of course,” she laughed, then pecked him on the cheek. “I just thrive on dysfunction.” She popped a chip into her mouth.
“Yea she’s right about that..” Gray mumbled from his seat, still staring at his phone.
“Shut up, asshole.”
“Bitchass.”
She laughed. “I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“So you do think our shitty week was because of mercury being in retrograde.”
Her laughter stopped when she turned around to look at Ethan. She blinked. “You’re kidding, right?”
“What? You just said-“
“Yea because I thought you were joking-“
“What? I wasn’t-“
“Oh my god don’t get me started-“
“LETS JUST WATCH THE MOVIE!” Grayson shouted, throwing his phone onto the counter.
Y/N snorted. “Jeez, Gray, it’s like you want us to stop fighting.”
“Yea, no doubt this is definitely turning you on right now.” Ethan wiggled his eyebrows, and Y/N spat from laughing so hard as she doubled over.
“EW what the F-” Gray screamed.
“It’s okay, you can be honest with us. It’s not your fault you’re into weird shit.” Y/N howled from laughter.
Grayson rolled his eyes. “Of course you two only stop fighting if it’s to make fun of me. I see how it is-“
“Bubba stop wallowing and start the movie!” Y/N threw a pillow at him, and it landed smack in his face.
“Nice shot.” Ethan remarked.
“Thank you, good sir.” She gave him a high five.
“God, this is one of those times I wish you guys weren’t friends first.” Grayson groaned, grabbing the remote and turning the TV on.
“Hey man, the one time I make a friend on my own and she ends up being your girlfriend. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, dude-“
“Don’t start with this shit again, E-“
“I mean I basically got you your girlfriend, you technically owe me bro-“
“Shut the fuck up E!”
“Excuse me,” Y/N interjected, shoving Ethan’s shoulder. “You didn’t do shit, okay? I honestly probably just got unlucky and ended up meeting you first instead of Grayson.” She smirked.
“Wow, okay, first of all, fuck you-“
“I'M PUTTING THE MOVIE ON!” Grayson shouted.
“Damn, baby, what’s got you in a bad mood today?” Y/N giggled, and Ethan snickered along with her. They constantly got into tiny fights about nothing just for fun, and it was what made their friendship so interesting. But they knew when to stop fooling around, and it seemed like now was one of those times.
Gray sighed. “Nothinggg, I’m just tired.” It wasn’t nothing, but he was tired. He kicked his feet up into the sofa and leaned back against the pillow. Ethan has already draped the big fuzzy blanket over him and Y/N.
“Baby..” Grayson whined. “Come over here. I wanna cuddle.” 
“But it’s so faaar..” Y/N groaned. “And I’m already so cozy.” She smiled at him sweetly.
Grayson couldn’t help but feel warm and fuzzy from the look she gave him, but he was still disappointed. He slumped his shoulders and turned back towards the screen.  “Whatever..”
“Aww, Baby, don’t be like that, then you’ll make me feel bad.”
“Jesus you guys are adorably disgusting.” Ethan cringed at you both, and Grayson groaned.
“Why, thank you, kind sir.” Y/N said, grabbing the blanket away from Ethan then scurrying over to Graysons sofa, making his eyes light up.
“Hey! I was using that.” Ethan grumbled.
“Sorry, it’s needed for cuddles which is more important than your lonely ass.”
“Why are you so mean to me?”
“Because you always forgive me right afterwards.” She gave him a cheeky grin, and he scoffed at her.
She turned to Grayson. “Okay, scooch over, you attention whore.” 
“Hey-“
“I looove you.” 
Grayson rolled his eyes. “You’re lucky I love you too.” He shimmied over, letting Y/N crawl over him so she could nestle up close into his chest. Grayson then threw the blanket over both of them. She laid her head in the crook of his neck, and pressed a kiss there.
“You’re not mad, right?”
He looked down at her, wary. A little, he thought. “No.. why?”
“Dunno..” she shrugged. “Just feels like you are.”
“Well, I’m not.” He said, not with much enthusiasm. He pressed a kiss to her forehead.
“Would you two stop whispering and start the movie already?” Ethan said, putting his feet up onto the counter. 
“Yeah, yeah, okay.” Gray reaches for the remote, and started the movie.
...
“There’s no way!”
Grayson groaned, finally waking up to the sound of chattering voices and giggling.
“He’d never do that.” He heard Y/N’s voice say. 
He grumbled, rubbing his eyes, but then noticed that he couldn’t feel the weight of Y/N on top of him. He cracked his eyes open and found her missing from his arms. He then turned to find her sitting back over on the couch, next to Ethan.
“You don’t give him enough credit.” Ethan said, grinning. 
“I’m not saying I blame him! It makes sense that he wouldn’t.”
He couldn’t explain it, but Grayson felt some sort of anger bubbling in his chest. Why did it seem like every moment he got with Y/N was being stolen? Was he no longer able to just fall asleep with his girlfriend in his arms? Did Ethan always have to be the one he saw instead?
“What’re you two girls giggling about?” He growled, throwing the blanket off of him as he sat up.
“Look who finally decided to wake up.” Y/N said, turning away from E to face him.
Grayson sighed. He couldn’t beat around the bush anymore, so he asked the obvious question. “Whatre you doing over there, baby?”
“Well, you fell asleep halfway through the movie. And you just looked so cute... I didn’t wanna wake you up.” She smiled at him, that familiar twinkle in her eye.
Gray tilted his head at her, unsure what to make of it. How did she always end up doing something sweet so he couldn’t stay mad at her?
“What are you guys talking about?” He asked again.
“Y/N was just telling me about this sex position you won’t try.” He snorted.
Grayson closed his eyes. “Please, dear god, tell me he’s joking.” He opened them again and looked at her.
She laughed, getting up and seating herself down next to him. “He’s joking, bub.” She gave him a side glance. “We were actually just talking about whether or not you’d give up your work for me.”
Grayson blinked, then turned to Ethan. “Are you trying to make me lose my girlfriend?” 
He laughed. “No, we were just talking about the podcast and stuff, and she said how she’s never seen you as happy as you are doing that kind of stuff with anything else. To which I said, you’d give it all up in a second for her.”
“Okay I’m not confirming or denying anything-“ Grayson pressed a hand to Y/N’s cheek, “-I love you,-“ he added, getting a smile from her, “but I don’t feel like you’re in a position where you can make that kind of comment while I am unconscious and unable to defend myself.” He directed back at Ethan.
“Baby, relax.” Y/N took his hand from her cheek and pressed a kiss against his palm. “We were just talking. I just said that there’s no way you’d just give up on all of this. On everything. And that makes SENSE.” She said to Ethan. “No relationship should demand that you give up anything that important to you.”
“Right but I’m just saying-“
“Ethan maybe just shut up.” Gray interjected. “Just a little. Just shut up.”
Y/N laughed again. She cupped Grayson’s cheeks, turning his face towards hers, and pressed a quick kiss against his lips. “Sorry, Baby. Didn’t mean to make you all flustered right after you woke up.” She giggled.
Grayson sighed, but smiled. “Sometimes I wonder if you’re worth all this embarrassment.”
“No, you don’t.” 
“Yea, you’re right. I don’t.” He grinned.
“Okay, it’s getting too cute again. I’m going to bed before I puke.” Ethan got up, making a gagging gesture with his finger. “Gnight.”
“Night, E.” Y/N said, laughing as he walked out of the room.
“God, I thought he’d never leave.” Grayson pulled Y/N into his arms and kissed her face all over.
She giggled, pushing his face away. “What are you talking about? You literally just woke up.”
“And I was expecting to wake up to my girlfriends pretty face, not his nasty one.” He snuggled his nose into her cheek as she rolled her eyes.
“What’re you talking about.” 
“I’m just saying that I don’t mind it when he’s not here to steal you away.”
“Steal me?” She finally got his face off of her and she looked at him, crossing her arms. “the hell is that supposed to mean?”
He gave her a mixture of a sigh and a laugh. “Nothing, babe.”
“Grayson.”
“Yes, Baby.” He pushed her hair back behind her shoulders.
She swatted his hands away. “What is that supposed to mean?”
He shrugged. “I’m just saying that when I fall asleep with my girlfriend in my arms, it isn’t the best feeling waking up to see her giggling with my brother.”
She sat up abruptly, almost knocking him in the face in the process. “What?”
“Nothingggg, never mind.”
“Grayson-“
“I love you,” he said. 
“Ok we can’t keep saying that to avoid stuff!” She jabbed at him.
“I’m not avoiding anything, baby girl.” He wrapped his arms around her and pressed a kiss to her forehead. 
Y/N hesitated. “Bub...”
“Mmm.” He bent down and pressed a kiss to her lips. She held him there, as if she was testing him for something. But she couldn’t seem to figure out what. 
They broke apart, and Grayson sighed against her lips.
“I hate that E had to meet you first.”
“Why?” She pulled away just enough to see his eyes.
“Because-“ he stopped, and breathed out. “Because I didn’t get to have you for as long as I could have.” He decided to say that instead, while pressing his forehead against hers.
“You have me now.” She said.
He smiled. “Yea...” he pulled back from her, a wistful sort of look in his eye.
Do I, though? He thought.
Grayson shook his head, then laid back on the couch, putting his arms back behind his head as he breathed out. He felt Y/N weigh down on his chest, propping herself up on her elbows as she looked down at him. She stayed like that for a while, watching him breathe and stare at the ceiling. He wanted to know what was running through her head, but he kept his eyes closed, knowing that if he did look at her he’d feel jealous all over again.
He hated the very idea of him being jealous in the first place. It was icky and weird, and quite frankly disgusting. What was he supposed to be jealous of?
Ethan.
He pushed that thought way, just thinking about it making him queasy. What the fuck was he thinking? How could he be jealous of Ethan when Y/N was his girlfriend? Sure, they were friends first, and yes that pissed him off to no end, but that’s all it was. They were just friends.
Right?
No.
Grayson brought his hands up to his eyes, somehow trying to rub the thoughts out of his head. He let out a loud sigh. 
Why did she have to be like this? It’s not like he had a problem with her being close with Ethan. He loved that, and he always wanted his partner to have a good relationship with his brother. Ethan was super important to him, and he wanted both his love and his brother to be in his life. And that’s what he got, so he should be lucky right? He should be happy at the thought that the three of them could just hang out and things wouldn’t be weird.
Yes it would.
No it wouldn’t.
They spend too much time together.
No they don’t.
She probably wants to be with him instea-
“Woah- okay.” Grayson mumbled, opening his eyes fast to pull himself out of his spiral. That went too far way too fast. He peered up at the ceiling, trying to concentrate on the blank white colour and clear his thoughts.
He felt Y/N shift on his chest, probably in response to his small outburst, and he prayed that she wouldn’t say anything. He waited a second.
Two.
Three.
She didn’t make a sound, aside from her soft breath. He relaxed.
This is Y/N. his girlfriend. The girl he loved, and the girl he was quite sure loved him the same way. Nobody else. Just him.
You sure?
“Fuck!”
“Baby, are you okay?” She finally said now, pushing herself up off of his chest gently to look at him with furrowed eyebrows.
“Yea, princess. I’m fine. Just.. a headache.”
She titled her head at him, a worried look in her eye. “You sure?”
You sure?
“YES!” He said a little too loudly, making her jump a little. “Yes, I’m sure.”
She peered at him with a look of unease, but she dropped it. He seemed tired, and she didn’t want to push him. However, she could tell there was something running through his mind, and it was bothering him.
His face looked pale for the first time, and it freaked her out. His eyebrows were all furrowed, and he just felt dark and unsettling.
“What’re you thinking about, bub?” She finally said, unable to keep wondering.
Grayson coughed. What was he to say? 
“...You.” He finally decided with, trying for a playful smile, but his eyes still seemed tired. Uneasy.
“Is that so?” She laid down, bringing her arms down flat on his chest and resting her chin above them. “What about me?”
“Just you.” He brought a hand up to brush a hair out of her face, and this time she let him. “Your pretty face.”
Just for me.
“Right.”
“And your sparkling eyes.”
For no one else.
“Mhm.”
“And your stupid little smile that literally makes me want to squeal like a little school girl.” He said now, a little frustrated, but making him realize once more that this was still Y/N. the girl he had fallen for, and loved with everything he had.
“Aw, I make you squeal like a little girl?”
“Constantly.”
“That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.”
“Shut up.”
They both breathed out, their anxious sighs mingling with one another. 
Grayson felt Y/N drag her finger across his chest, stopping abruptly right before touching his hand.
She knows.
Knows what?
Knows that you don’t trust her.
He took her hand in his, grabbing it tightly and pressing it against his chest.  
I do trust you.
I do.
It was like he could feel her smiling against his chest, and suddenly he relaxed once more. He rubbed her palm with his thumb, glad he could find something to focus on. It was as if she felt the same way, because he felt her place her head down against his chest. He closed his eyes once more, lining his breath up with her soft breath. His other hand found its way to her lower back, now gently rubbing up and down, the way he did whenever she couldn’t fall asleep.
Just fall asleep.
...
“Shit.”
Grayson stirred from his sleep, awoken by the sound of Y/N’s quiet voice. 
“Mmmbaby, s’that y-?” He went to sleepily grab Y/N’s waist, but sort of shook himself awake when his arms landed flat against his waist. 
He wanted to yell. “God, again with this shit?” He grumbled, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
“Sorry. Didn’t mean to wake you.” Her voice made him pull his arms away, letting his eyes adjust to the darkness. He finally recognized his girlfriend’s shape standing next to the sofa. He then saw the spilled water at her feet.
“What are you...” he glanced back up at her, and she ran a hand through her hair.
“I got thirsty. Didn’t wanna wake you...” She sighed. “But I couldn’t see in the dark, and I knocked into the stupid coffee table and spilled it all.” She rubbed her eye with the back of her palm and pouted.
Grayson reached for his phone, picking it up and squinting as the bright light shone in his face. 
It was 2am. 
He turned the flashlight on his phone on so he could see where the water had spilled. Thankfully, none had gotten on the carpet. He placed the phone down and sighed. “My clumsy baby.” He got up off the couch and carefully walked over to her, stepping over the puddle of water. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead. “Okay, I’ll get the mop. Go to bed.”
She smiled. “Love you.”
...
About fifteen minutes later, Grayson quietly shut the door to his bedroom, and saw his girlfriend sitting up in his bed, her head laying against the backboard, and a pretty light shining over her face from the table lamp. Her eyes seemed a little glazed, as if she was about to drift off, but smiled and sat up when she saw him enter the room.
“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Grayson asked, getting into bed next to her.
She shrugged. “Didn’t wanna fall asleep without you.”
She laid her head on his shoulder, and sighed. “I know we kinda say it all the time, so it’s kinda almost lost meaning at this point, but…” she tilted her head to look up at him. “I really do love you.”
Her hand rustled under the blanket to find his, and their fingers intertwined. “A lot.” 
Grayson’s eyebrows furrowed. “What’s gotten into you?”
“Nothin’.” She said, reaching up to kiss his cheek. 
“Well, whatever it is, I like it.”
Grayson pushed her back down onto her pillow and kissed her while she giggled against his lips. 
She pushed him back by his shoulders, giving him a funny look. “I’m just trying to show my appreciation for you.”
“So am I.” He pressed a kiss to her lips again, and this time she didn’t stop him, her hands finding their usual place at his jaw and neck. 
When they pulled apart, she kept his head in place, pressing their noses together. “You’re amazing.”
“You’re weird when you’re tired.”
She pecked his lips. “It’s strange that you use the word ‘weird’ instead of ‘affectionate’.”
She let go of him, letting her arms fall on top of the blanket. She stretched, and let out a yawn. She pushed him down onto the mattress, and laid her head in the crook of his neck, her arm against his chest.
Grayson leaned back, just watching the view in front of him. His wonderful girlfriend, falling asleep next to him, in his bed. Hearing her breathing as she drifted off to sleep, her chest slowly rising and falling as she began to dream. It was everything he wanted. 
Then why was there that nagging voice still in the back of his head?
This isn’t real.
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
She’s faking it. 
What?
All of it.
What is wrong with you?
She’s pretending.
No she’s not.
She is.
She’s not.
She is.
She loves me!
You sure?
I have to be sure.
“Y/N…”
“Mmm?”
“Tell me the story of how you met Ethan.”
She looked up at him with a weird look. “Why?”
“Just ‘cause.”
“..babe?”
“I just wanna hear it.”
“But you already know that story.”
“I know..” He stroked her hair. “I just wanna hear it again.”
“Baby what is going on with you?” She pushed herself up off of his chest to look at him, sitting up now.
“Okay, fine. Just tell me what you really thought when you saw him for the first time.”
“What?”
“Were you really just trying to be friends with him?”
“Bub-” 
“Or did you want something else?”
“Grayson!” she shoved at his chest. “What is wrong with you?”
“Baby please.” He grabbed her arm. “Did you want him, ever?”
She flung his arm off of her. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”
“Just tell me!” He yelled, impatient and worried.
She blinked at him in astonishment. “Okay, so what if I did, huh?”
His heart sank. “Don’t play games with me, Y/N.”
“So WHAT if I DID, GRAYSON?” she was shouting now too, no longer caring about keeping her voice down so not to wake Ethan. 
“Don’t fucking say that.”
“Why would that even matter? I’m not with him, am I? I’m with YOU!”
“Y/N-”
“Grayson, please....” She put her face in her hands. Rubbing her eyes with her palms. “What is wrong? Do you have a problem with me?”
“What? No! I-”
“Then why are you doing this? Why are you acting like a jealous freak? Do you not trust me? Do you not believe me when I pour my heart out to you? When I say that I love you?”
“I’m not jealous-”
“Yes you are!” She threw her hands up in the air. “I’ve never said anything about it, because I didn’t want to. It’s weird, Gray. And especially today! What do you have to be jealous of? Do you not want me to be friends with Ethan? Is that it?”
“No…” His fingers raked through his hair. “No.”
“Then what, Gray? What is it that you want from me?”
She paused. 
“Do you not want me?”
His eyes widened. “What the fuck are you talking about?” He wrapped his arms around her aggressively, burying his nose into her shoulder. “You are all I’ve ever wanted.”
She sighed. “Bub…” she gently pushed herself away from his so she could look him in the eye. “No. I’ve never had feelings for Ethan. He’s my friend. My really, good friend that I care a lot about. But I don’t feel anything towards him like what I feel towards you.”
He gave her an exasperated sigh. “Then what did you really think of Ethan the first time you met him?”
“Nothing out of the ordinary! I just thought he was a nice person that I’d like to hang out with.”
Grayson gave her a weary look. 
“Babe, I don’t understand. You say that you trust me, but if you did why would you act like this?”
“I don’t know, Y/N! It’s not like I want to! It’s just- you guys are so close. And I’ve just never seen Ethan be that close to someone other than me, and, I don’t know, okay? It just. It just freaks me out.”
Y/N cupped his jaw. “Grayson.”
“Yea?”
“You know what I thought the first time I met you?”
“...what?”
“Wow. I didn’t know it was possible for someone to have a twin significantly more attractive than they are.”
Grayson blinked, but then almost spit all over her, doubling over in laughter, completely forgetting about the seriousness of the situation. Y/N couldn’t help but giggle as well, glad to see him smile.
“Shut up.” He said after controlling his laughing. “Don’t lie.”
“I’m dead serious.” She chuckled. “My hands were all sweaty the entire time, and you know how I kept completely falling off the track while we were playing mario kart?
“Mhm?”
“That’s cuz I was staring at your reflection in the tv screen.”
“Shut UP!”
“I swear to god I’m serious!” she laughed. “And after I gave up to let you guys play and I was just on my phone, I was actually imagining us making out.”
He grabbed her face and kissed her, surprising her, but she relaxed in his arms. When he pulled away, he said: “You are so good at lying to make me feel better.” 
“I’m not lying!”
“Mhm.” He kissed her again, wrapping one arm around her waist while the other held her neck firmly. She moaned against his lips, holding his face in both hands. When they pulled away, they were out of breath.
“Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little bit.” She smiled. “But the point is, I love you. Nobody else.”
Grayson sighed. “I love you.” He pressed his forehead against hers. “I’m sorry.”
“You should be.”
“Hey.”
“What? You should.”
He rolled his eyes. “Fine. You’re right.”
He kissed her forehead. “I’m really sorry. I’ve been a huge dick.”
“You sure have.”
Then her nose. “I was an idiot to be jealous.”
“Mhm.”
And then a peck on her lips. “I love you. So much.”
She grinned. “I love you too.”
“Promise me one thing?”
“What?”
“You’ll always be mine?” he asked, his lips grazing against hers.
She smiled at him. “I’m all yours.” she said, then connected their lips once more.

jatp fanworks appreciation - day 3 (wips)
wip wednesday - I didn’t think I wanted to join in on this day for my own stuff considering I’ve never posted anything original for this fandom, but I think this might just be the little boost I need from myself to actually finish the wips that I have sitting around. I am peer pressuring myself and holding myself accountable by posting this - or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Most of the past 6 mths has just been me screaming to no one in a Google Doc, so here are some things I’ve been ruminating about over the last 6 months (and if my secret agenda is to get other people to write about it so I don’t have to? Then that’s between you and me).
Everything’s under a read more because I like giving context and that usually spirals out of control!?!?
If you would like to see more from any of the below, feel free to shoot me an ask/message and I can definitely share some more! (Or you can just come yell at me about JATP in general.)
Strangers Fake Dating AU // Julie x Luke
I’m a simple person. I see a prompt, I latch onto it, and then I completely miss the entire point of the prompt as my imagination goes wild for no real reason. This really was supposed to be a super short drabble, but it manifested into a 3k+ thing that isn’t even finished.
Julie’s not really sure what she’s supposed to do now. Nothing has ever prepared her for a situation in which she’s supposed to pretend to be a stranger’s girlfriend, especially if that situation involves parents. Does she continue this ruse? Can she come up with a quick enough excuse to tell this Luke character that she actually can’t stay? What if this is just all an elaborate plan to kidnap her? Has she been listening to too many true crime podcasts? Why does Luke smell so good? Does he know how to cook? Why does his shirt not have sleeves? What-
“I can hear you thinking from here.” Her head whips up at the sound of Luke’s voice, which is now at a whisper and kind of frantic. “I just- I just really needed to get my mom off my back, so I kinda need you to pretend to be my girlfriend. Just for the night. I swear I’ll make it up to you somehow.”
Julie studies Luke’s face and it’s nearly impossible to not cave under his gaze, which can only be simply described as ‘puppy dog eyes’. She finds herself smiling back, letting out a huff, “I hope you like lasagna.” And the grin that spreads across the boy’s face is enough for her to know that he’s incredibly relieved that she agreed.
“I’m Luke by the way. Luke Patterson.”
(Okay, he’s kinda cute. And no one this cute is a serial killer. Right?)
She gives a small smile back, “I’m Julie.”

5+1 alive!Juke AU // Julie x Luke
Inspired by paper - LANY
This is one of the first things I ever felt the urge to write down back in September because I love exploring the idea of how two people can appear to be the perfect relationship on the outside, but are actually fighting their own demons. Especially when it comes to celebrities and people who are in the spotlight. It’s basically a 5+1 fic about the moments from other people’s perspectives who happen to orbit around Julie/Luke that all revolve around paper. My outline for this is so long because I can’t manage to narrow it down, and there’s zero cohesiveness but I do have little things jotted down.
“Hey little man,” Luke’s knelt down to match his 5 year-old height, and a hand extends out to him for a high five, “What are you doing here?”
His eyes flicker to the left, towards his own apartment door, where his mom is giving him an encouraging nod. “ I- I just wanted to-” he stutters and finds himself looking at his feet as he shuffles back and forth on the spot. “I- I drew you guys something!”
He shoves the paper out towards the older boy in front of him, but doesn’t look up.

Reincarnation AU // Julie x Luke
I had a random thought in December about how magical it is that Julie and Luke are so tied to one another that their love transcends time and space, which will always lead them back to one another. I remember reading a book a long time ago about how the main character is fated to die at a certain age, and that kind of sparked this little idea. I can’t bring myself to actually plot out every single timeline right now, but I did manage to write a little bit.
It will never be as complex as Rosie’s idea and all the wonderful additions in the link here, and I don’t really plan on it being anything more than a small idea. But I really do still think someone should write some sort of reincarnation AU cause I’d hop on that so fast!!
“Okay- that’s not- Luke. You seriously just ran away?”
“What was I supposed to do Alex? We all know how this ends.”
His friend looks at him, face painted in understanding and he sighs, “Yeah. Yeah, we do.”
Because it’s true, Alex does know, so does Reggie and Bobby. Most importantly, so does Luke. It’s the exact same tragic love story every time.
Call it a curse or fate or destiny. Maybe it’s because Mercury is in retrograde. Whatever. It always ends the same way - with a heartbreaking goodbye, a whisper of the promise that they’ll find each other again, and the possibility of a happy ending. He’s said the same goodbye at least 734 times, but it’s not like he’s counting or anything. Fuck the universe and its mystical ways.
//
Competitive Alex // Alex x Willie
No real thoughts or reasons for this other than I just think I self-projected my need to play board games with people in real life into a fic. And maybe a little bit of my competitiveness onto Alex and then threw in Willie because I think he would be able to handle it while also finding it endearing. I also have written nothing about the actual competitiveness, it’s just 2k words of Alex crushing on Willie.
“Wait,” his eyes dart between the three boys, “You both know Willie? How come I’ve never met him?”
His roommates look at each other, and there’s a smirk on Luke’s face when he says, “Actually Alex, I think you have. Remember that time you got really drunk after one of our shows?”
Oh no. He really hopes that it’s not the time he’s thinking of, so he tries to sound nonchalant. “You’re going to have to be more specific, Luke.”
“The night we played at that tiny bar at the edge of the campus! We got paid in those tiny colourful shots?” He doesn’t really know where Luke is going with this, so he’s slowly nodding along. “And you were super upset that the hot dog vendor at the end of the street was closed?”

Dear Julie, Love Mom series
I made myself sad with this thought when I first watched the show and was talking to my friend about how I think that Rose would’ve left messages for the Molina family, especially when we found out that Wake Up was actually from her mom. I wrote a bigger explanation for it here.
Anyways, I started with the one for Julie’s wedding and it kind of became an 8k monster with three different POVs?!? As much as I love how I wrote this, I feel too unsure about my writing to share it in full, so you will get carefully selected looks alkfe. (I’m also kind of stuck on some of the more emotional scenes and I may or may not have procrastinated by photoshopping a moodboard for it.)
Excerpt 1 (Julie POV): A look into where I’m going with this whole letters from Rose thing.
The key clicks into place, and with a turn, the latch falls open. She’s not sure what she wants to find in the box, and she’s too scared to think about it really. All she knows is that this was the sign from her mom that she was waiting for all week, and in true Rose fashion, her mom had managed to give it to her, even if at the last second. Her dad turns the box to face Julie, and gestures to her to open up the lid.
Tucked inside is a VHS tape, the words ‘For Julie, on your wedding day’ written in her mom’s cursive on the cover. Some loose glitter and confetti fall back into the box as she reaches in to pick up the tape and turn it over in her hands. There’s a little purple butterfly etched on the back, the same one that’s been drawn on all the other messages that her mom had left her. Her finger automatically finds its way, tracing the shape of the small doodle.
“Do you want me to leave you alone, mija?”
Excerpt 2 (Julie POV): This part has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot of the story, but it self-inserted itself into this fic after @tangledstarlight and I talked about You’re Still the One by Shania Twain being their first dance. This whole scene came to me at 4am one night and might be the most self-indulgent thing I’ve ever written.
They knew that when they had asked Reggie to be in charge of the first dance performance, that they (and Alex) weren’t allowed to veto any of his ideas. Luke had warned Julie that that would be a mistake, but the giddiness that radiated off of Reggie when she had told him he could have free reign was worth it. She just hadn’t thought that he would actually take it to heart and run with it.
Sure, they had chosen You’re Still the One by Shania Twain as their first dance song, and sure it was more or less a country song, but she didn’t really imagine that she’d be staring at her adoptive brother, Carlos and her Dad wearing cowboy hats and boots at her wedding. They had somehow managed to ditch their Flynn-approved suit jackets and were sporting a taupe-coloured suede-textured vest over their dress shirts. If she looked closely, she could see that they had somehow also found some gaudy looking bolo ties with a matching set of ornamental clasps to wear. When she envisioned her wedding, she really didn’t expect that her first (public) dance as a married couple would be a full-on Western themed occasion. The only exception was Alex, who had settled on his cajon in the back, still in his pink suit, eyes rolling when she met his gaze. But even she knew how there was no real annoyance in the blonde’s reaction or else he wouldn’t also be wearing one of the tacky ties around his neck as well.
“I’m gonna seriously kill him.” She hears Luke grumble under his breath, only low enough for her to hear. But she’s still too busy giggling to actually be mad, and she knows that Luke isn’t really going to kill Reggie. At least she doesn’t think so.
Excerpt 3 (Luke POV): Idk man. My mind went “What about Luke?” and I said “You’re right!! What about him?!?”
He doesn’t realize that he’s just been silently staring at the woman in front of him, until a gentle voice breaks him out of his thoughts. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Julie’s peering at him from under her eyelashes, a curious look on her face.
“You just-” he gives a little shake of his head, trying to come up with the right words. He wants to tell her she’s beautiful. Stunning. A wicked beauty. But she’s more than that - she’s almost angelic. “I can’t believe you’re my wife.”
“Luke, we’ve been legally married for like, a whole year.” Her lips are quirked up in a grin, amusement in her voice. “You’ve only just realized that now?”
“That’s different.”
“Yeah? Different how?”
This feels a little strange to post and a little like my inner self seeking validation but let’s not talk about that.
Kskssj anyways present me @ future me: finish one of these because writing has been really cathartic for you and you didn’t think it would bring you so much joy!!!

YOUNGJAE’S NATAL CHART
-Timetohajima
↳ trigger warning: abusive relationships, mental disorders
↳ word count: 9.3k
_
Our sunshine’s turn~ It’s the first chart that I’ll read in this blog that I have the birth time for, so there’s no speculation here: only the truth. That being said, although I am quite aware Astrology might seem like pure fun (and it indeed can be that way sometimes), when reading a natal chart with the birth time I can read everything that has happened / will happen to the person. I will not go into too personal topics or even his death or other severe stuff out of respect (and please do not ask) - but even then, if you’re a fan that is comfortable with just stanning his public persona without knowing much about his real ways that is absolutely fine. Kpop is entertainment, after all, and you should feel free to consume it the way you want to. But I’d advise you not to read this, then. Also, like I’ve said many times before on this blog, everything that I’m saying in this post is about Youngjae and Youngjae alone - DO NOT take one specific explanation of a placement I mention here as something you could relate to your own chart. Whatever I say here is taking everything that is in his chart into account, and there’s no way you have the same chart (that would mean we’d have more than one Youngjae and then the planet wouldn’t be able to handle such brightness).
This is not his entire chart but even then it turned out huge. Sorry? Anyway, here we go:
Tumblr media
Ascendant, Sun and Mercury Retrograde in Virgo
The most important part of a zodiac chart is the Ascendant. It is so because it’s defining how the whole chart will work, it’s the point that determines how every house will play out since it’s placing each sign at each house. Not only that, but the 1st house is also the one that defines what are the most important things in one’s life, and the things that will strongly define the person and how their life will play out according to those subjects. As you can see, Youngjae’s is in Virgo and there’s two planets there. So not only is Youngjae’s whole life defined by the nature of this sign but also by these two planets and their subjects. Basically, Youngjae’s life will involve many situations regarding his strong personality in general and mercurial matters. So most of his life is gonna be directed by his intelligence since it’s a Mercury in a good sign for it, but also his communication problems in general since it’s Retrograde.
Virgo is an earth sign and it’s making Youngjae responsible but also very demanding. This will not only apply to what he thinks is right or not but also to how he expresses himself and how he approaches basically everything in his life - even if he’s not fully aware of it. I think that by now he knows that he can be annoying with how much he expects from others, but is too young to already feel strongly compelled to change (as in, he might be trying to but it won’t be effective for now - he eventually will, though, his Moon in Scorpio in a house that talks about travels changing him will make him). You see, Virgo is a sign that demands quality and perfection of what it likes or wants - and when it’s ruling one person’s entire life with Mercury combined it’s impossible for that person not to exaggerate their approach to it. In his case, Youngjae will have both good and bad things coming from this same trait - he’s such a perfeccionist that it’ll attract success but at the same time it’ll bring misunderstandings and inner turmoils. If you expect everyone and yourself to be perfect at all times, your standards are so high that they’ll cause you pain. It’s very hard for this boy to simply relax and enjoy things, he’s constantly alert and like I said, it can bring good results such as catching on things that are subtle (he can be very observant), but it also means that just chilling and simply enjoying what life entails is not comfortable for him. This level of exaggeration of worrying constantly not only brings some level of anxiety (he has three other things talking about this so it’s definitely his case, and definitely why he fidgets a lot) but also prevents him from fully enjoying even the happier times. He does know how to have fun, thanks to those Leo placements and that Jupiter in the 5th, but even then - it’s hard. It just doesn’t come easy as it does for others. I’ll talk more about it on the next topics but it’s just for you to get that although this guy has great joy within him and can bring happiness to everyone he interacts with because he’s a sweetheart, he has quite a hard time letting himself be truly happy. Overthinking is an understatement in his case. And since this is a trait that defines his whole life, every subject that his houses talk about will have something to do with this - every aspect of his life is gonna be influenced by him not knowing how to let go or how to relax. It’s bad but he can choose to grow from it and his Moon in Scorpio might indicate he will.
Although his Mercury is Retrograde, it’s still at one of the best houses for it and in a great sign for it - his learning skills are amazing and if anything I think he just might have trouble focusing when he’s not feeling determined. If he does focus, however, he’s very quick to understand anything that he wants to learn and it’s obviously related to how Youngjae was a trainee only for 7 months. He had already been studying singing before joining JYPE, but to be chosen to join GOT7 he had a limited time to learn dance and some martial arts - which he did. He’s an amazing dancer, and to this day the guys say he’s some kind of music genius. He literally is, they’re not exaggerating - he was already born with skills that led him to this path. Since he has many other placements talking about artistic skills and his mind is working nicely like this the level of talent that he has is very clear - and it’s high af. Youngjae was born to work with music, I don’t see him working with anything else. If anything, he might be a good teacher in the future - but probably a music one, and will always have to practice and work with his own music on the side or else he won’t be very happy (this is an understatement, not to be dramatic but Youngjae is the kind of guy that has no chance of surviving this world without practicing art in any way - can definitely lead to depression in his case).
The Ascendant also defines one’s appearance. The Sun defines the personality while Mercury defines the mind - so Youngjae literally carries his worries, logic and strong will on his face. If you’ve known him for a while it’s hard to think about this but pay attention to how serious he can look when he’s not talking, or how deeply focused. He might not even look approachable for those who don’t know him, and even seem like he’s arrogant (he does act like that sometimes but I’ll go more into it later - it’s just his Moon in the 3rd bringing him trouble). It definitely is not a coincidence that people say he’s so shiny and bright and love the way he laughs. The 1st house talks about one’s appearance and the way people see them, how they’ll be defined by society from a first glance or even from their usual habits, quirks. Because the 1st is our head, our face, defining our body as a whole - whatever it is that the Ascendant is defining there, it’s shown to everyone. Since Youngjae has his Sun in his first, this strong trait of his is shown to everyone - his personality is literally on his face. And since his Sun is being influenced by the 12th, a house in Leo, with a strong conjuction working there - all of that is shown in his face as well. Venus conjunct Mars implies in great inner energy and a deep need to show your talent (many artists have this conjunction), so that kind of determination also shows in his daily attitudes. Leo like this can also bring great joy and the will of showing it to the world with a characteristic laughter or humor. So although Virgo is there making him look responsible and everything, Leo can influence one’s apperance by making the person look innocent and with bright, shiny, even childish eyes. It’s literally making him show how gullible he can be even with Virgo trying to analyze everything - he’s deeply naive and that shows on his face specially when he’s having fun, because he lets his guard down when he allows himself to enjoy things.
His Ascendant is hard to define at first if you don’t know much about him, not only because Virgo is a reserved sign but because his personality is so intricate that by looking at him for the first time people won’t really know how to define him. And if they try, they’ll do it wrongly. That is all caused by the fact that Youngjae has so many different things defining his face. He’s a very intense person, but people won’t realize it at first. If they do stop to pay attention, though, they’ll be nicely surprised.

The biggest trouble here is that his Mercury is Retrograde and although in a good sign for it, his mind can be all over the place when trying to properly express himself. For an artist, this can be both a good and a bad thing: although in his personal life he might have trouble fully and properly expressing his feelings, the agony of not being able to do so is translated to his art. So it’s a benefic part of this Mercury, no doubt, it’s giving him great talent when talking about composing and writing down the right words. However, when actually talking he will have some trouble. I’ll go more into it when reading his 3rd.
The 2nd House
This house talks about the money one is going to achieve with their work, it talks about money and possessions in general. I don’t think this is a very interesting part of him for you guys so I’ll be brief. Libra defining it and being ruled by a Venus in Leo conjunct Mars in the 12th. Combined, it means: his money would come from his artistic skills (Libra), he can spend it with things he doesn’t really need (vain things, Libra), is likely to have luck in certain ways because of his personality (his way of talking to people and not only his skills bring him money - Venus in Leo), can be very bad at dealing with money (12th) or spending it wisely (can even spend too much money on people he loves that don’t really deserve it, because Venus). Although it’s all bringing him money but still loads of trouble since it’s being influenced by the house of mind prisons, Mars is also influencing it and the planet of determination like this means Youngjae might lose track of his spendings but is good at achieving financial results in general. So he will have money, but has to be careful with what (or who) he spends it with.
The 2nd is considered malefic because Astrology talks about life and what one has to do to evolve and be an awesome person in general, right? But it’s spiritually speaking. It talks about how one has to work their inner troubles and become a better being… And money doesn’t do that. That’s the main reason why this house is malefic and little did the old ancient greek people know how capitalism would affect us. lol So I’d say it can be considered even more malefic nowadays. For Youngjae it mostly means he can try to fix his love troubles with money (not that he’ll pay for people to love him, not at all - but people will fool him and get money from him) and that he’s likely to lose focus in life because of the way he spends it. Could even be one that bets or invests badly. However, boy still is going to be rich. :) Read more about this on his 8th.
Moon in Scorpio in the 3rd House
I’ve mentioned this many times but let me remind you guys how bad a Moon in Scorpio can be. The Moon stands for feelings, how one’s emotions will evolve or not and how the person will deal with them. Scorpio is a very intense sign and it tends to go to extremes when related to one’s feelings. Everything that is said about Scorpio’s bad sides show up when it’s placed in the Moon. So Youngjae has a lot of trouble dealing with grudges and balancing how he feels. He either goes big or goes home when talking about relationships and friendships, and this is certainly not a good thing. Since I can tell from his chart that he’s a good person (in the sense that he has a good heart, as lame as this sounds), I’m willing to bet that the worst things that will happen to him when talking about romantic relationships and friendships will be partly caused by his naivety and intense devotion to people that won’t deserve it. It’s sextile a Jupiter in the 5th, proving how bad this can get. And then he’ll hold a huge grudge and blame himself because Virgo is making him not forgive his own mistakes (remember how him being demanding affects his whole life?). It’s a cycle of judgement that he puts himself through, literally because he can be too soft. With time he’ll be harsher, and not in a bad way - he’ll learn how to protect himself. However, his romantic relationships will always tend to be problematic.
An interesting thing is that he can be petty af specially because this Moon is in the 3rd. It literally means that what he feels is what he says. Youngjae might try to control it, but he won’t properly be able to. He’s pretty straightforward most of the time. The way he doesn’t really know how to forgive is directly linked to the way he expresses himself as well. So he is totally the kind to not only be abrupt (Mercury Retrograde) but also to bring up things that were done ages ago. Since he has all that Leo charm making him childish and endearing for those that like him, people will rarely expose him about this - but I’m pretty sure it’s a frequent thing. Also, I cannot stress enough how jealous this guy can get. He has no sign of being easygoing in his chart related to this topic, Youngjae can be very possessive regarding those he loves. Not in the sense that he’ll be abusive, just very… Jealous. He’ll be overprotective without letting the person know (ego and childish attitudes caused by Leo), and will want that person to recognize him for it and also appreciate him in a way that he’ll feel like they’re truly close (they have to tell him everything) and equally appreciated. So he’ll be petty when provoking others about hanging out too much with other people instead of hanging out with him, will be dramatic af if not feeling properly spoiled, etc. And since his pride is huge (Venus conjunct Mars in Leo), don’t ever expect him to own up to this. lol Can be a cute thing, no doubt, but will not always be so. Because his Moon is all over the place, he’ll exaggerate this now and then and some people will be annoyed. If they already love and know him, though, it’s likely they’ll forgive him quite quickly since they know that he’s a sweet guy that just has trouble communicating and balancing his feelings. But if the people involved don’t know him or just aren’t the patient kind… This can bring problems in his career, even more so because his 10th (profession, work) is in Gemini - so clearly his communication directly defines his work and if this Moon combined with his Mercury Retrograde are not nicely dealt with… This certainly brings him trouble. A huge thing here is also that this Moon is being influenced by the 8th since it’s in Aries, and said house has the biggest malefic there - so combined with a badly ruled communication house like this he’ll have many troubles regarding signing contracts that might end up being abusive or unfair (we’re watching you, JYPE). This can also involve marriage, since it is a contract. Youngjae can get so intensely in love that he’ll be blinded by his feelings, so. Certainly this guy will have to learn how to deal with his feelings better or else there’ll be consequences.

A nice thing here is that his humor is strongly defined by this house. And it’s being nicely backed up by his Leo in the 12th traits. Scorpio is petty and dramatic and loves shock value - it’s such an observant sign that has such great memory that when ruling the 3rd with the Moon like his, the person will love to randomly expose people just for fun. Can be very sarcastic without ever really owning up to it, which can be very funny if not directed at you. lol The Moon here is a huge part of why he can be so endearingly cute when he talks, because unkowingly he’s using his manipulation talents that this Moon in Scorpio gives him to express himself dramatically, combined with that Venus in the 12th that lets him play around with his sensitivity (as in he gets people so deeply that it’s directly related to how he chooses his words, his humor can adapt according to the person). Scorpio is naturally sarcastic and when in this house, oh boy. Things can get intense. haha And combined with his Mercury he can do some very funny, witty jokes. Which is ironic because he’s also very gentle and naive - but very quick witted when answering back. So there’ll be times where it’ll take him some time to fully get what’s going on and then others where he’ll be so quick to react that the people involved won’t even know what hit them. Although this Moon is acting badly, it’s still in the best house for it - so it’s bringing good things anyway. In his case, specifically, it’s bringing luck with transformating himself, evolving when he’s away, travelling. So he’ll not only be lucky regarding always having opportunities to travel if he wants to but also most of his travels will mainly involve good things for him. We have to note, though, that since this house is ruled by Scorpio it’s also being influenced by his Mars and that Saturn in the 8th - so most of the time the travels will be benefic, but often he’ll have to pay attention to his health or else he get sick while away.
Randomly I’d like to add that what makes him so brave about speaking english even if people make fun of his accent is certainly this Moon. He has fun with it because he lives for communication, so it doesn’t really matter what people think - as long as he’s enjoying it and putting himself to work with it. Youngjae also probably loves languages more than we might ever know, he’s deeply connected to them. This Moon also explains why in relationships he’ll truly appreciate the intellectual exchange and being able to discuss everything. Without communication nothing will work, this guy will hate lovers that don’t talk and solve stuff - but sadly will be attracted to them lol He doesn’t really know his own type. Learn more about this by reading his 12th.
The 4th House
The house of the beginning and the end of things. Since it’s in Sagittarius and ruled by the biggest benefic, Jupiter, it implies in a nice and comfortable upbringing and also that it’s likely that the family is big (Jupiter talks about exaggeration, so it’s likely that Youngjae has many, many relatives). Overall, it’s a nice sign to have here and if anything from what I can tell from the rest of the chart it just means he can be somewhat of a rebel regarding what his family wants of him. Could be a matter of religions or traditional ways, and since said Jupiter is taking family matters to the 5th house, the house of fun and romance, could even mean that although he might want to get married someday he doesn’t mind having some fun now and then and his family is not ok with it. Nothing major, I’d say, the kind of rebel Youngjae is against his family. But he still is, and the way he is so will bring bad things. Mostly because he’s too stubborn.
It’s important to note, though, that Jupiter is in Capricorn. So while it’s still working as a benefic in his life it’s also weaker than normal, and when combining Sagittarius and Capricorn like it’s being so in his life it means that while he does want to please his family and feels responsible about its values, deep down he also doesn’t wanna do it at all so it’s a constant conflict in his life. Since he has such a big family, it’s likely that Youngjae has had many people giving opinions on what he should or should not do in his life and that’s why he can be troubled about which path to follow sometimes. I found it kinda weird when he moved in with his brother and left the members behind but seeing his chart it makes quite some sense. Although it had to do with other things as well, I bet, it’s very logical to him that he has to be together with his family at all times and owes them explanations and all.  Looking from afar it might not seem serious but you’d be surprised of how much one’s family values can make one feel trapped.

Also, the ruler of the 4th represents the father in one’s life. Since it’s influencing his 5th, which is also the house of children, Youngjae wants to have children and to be a father like his was to him growing up. He’s strongly influenced by his dad and it shows, it’s likely that the people he sees on a daily basis are quite aware of how much his dad influences his ways and opinions. Specially because Capricorn is a demanding sign, that expects not only respect but also constant and good results - his father is nice, yes, but also expects a lot from him. And this implies in many things, how childish he can be sometimes because he was so spoiled (surrounded by people that while he did not really agree with were very loving to him, in an overprotective way) but also how confident he can be since his childhood had such an impressive and present father. He was very protected when he was younger and probably is to this day as well and that’s why he can be such a scaredy cat. lol It’s all related! Seems to me that his father is quite an intense guy but not very good at expressing feelings, and that’s why Youngjae ended up being more of a softie in constant emotional denial and intensity - the person he looks up to the most is a strong figure that doesn’t deal with feelings so he wasn’t properly taught to do so. Since his mother is represented by Mercury in his chart, it’s clear that her influence is similar - he respects and loves her a lot and she might be caring but above all she’s very logical and clever, so probably quite disconnected with properly dealing with feelings as well (even if unknowingly so). Also, her being represented by Mercury in the 1st implies in minds that work very similarly (hers and Youngjae’s, I mean) and that’s definitely connected with how they have the same laughter. lol So you see, Youngjae has very loving parents that truly did their best to offer him everything they could but emotionally they could be lacking at times - and obviously not because they wanted to, but it had consequences in Youngjae’s life anyway. They spoiled him a lot, though, and it shows not only in his ways (loves to joke around lightly and laughs freely, often a sign that someone was loved as a child and knows it - he can be sarcastic but overall his humor is more of a healthy, truly joyful nature) but also with the way he acts around his hyungs (he loves to be spoiled by them and Jaebum became a father figure of sorts for him for this reason - his real one was away so Youngjae needed a substitute). Overall, Youngjae’s parents gave him opportunities and the assurance that he was truly loved, which makes a huge difference in how someone grows up to be who they are - but at the same time they can be very demanding and kinda complicated when talking about feelings, so that’s on his way to this day and definitely plays a huge part of how that Moon in the 3rd is bringing him communication problems, as well as that Mercury Retrograde.
Although he has some other placements talking about health problems, Jupiter ruling the 4th normally indicates a good, longlasting life - but he has to be aware that with what he exaggerates with (since it’s Jupiter ruling it) it’s likely that if he does it too much it’ll shorten his life. If he learns to take care of himself, it should all be fine.
Jupiter in Capricorn in the 5th House
The house of fun, romances and friendships (the fun part, per say, while the 11th is deeper regarding this) when ruled by Capricorn is normally a very hard thing to deal with. With Jupiter here, while it’s a benefic that normally brings good things, in his case I believe he has more trouble caused by it. You see, the 5th talks about how one chooses to have fun and love and overall enjoy life - if Capricorn, a sign that does not know how to do those at all, is there… Youngjae has a real hard time just relaxing and letting things go with the flow. He’s constantly tense and looking for deeper meanings and everything, he’s literally too smart to have proper fun. He doesn’t know how to relax. When it’s related to relationships, since it talks about romance… He probably overthinks everything involved. I’ll go more into this when talking about his 12th, but this adds to the paranoia that is being talked about there. He’ll look for serious commitments in the beginning of the relationships, will be too eager to control everything so it all works perfectly in an exaggerated way, you get the gist.

Jupiter is bringing his family matters into this house so again, although he had some privileges and a loving family it’s clear that the kind of demanding his father is is so strong in his mind that he cannot help but force himself to be worried at all times. It’s like: are we going to a party? But what for? For how long? Is it really worth going? Instead of just letting things happen naturally. Not only is this bad for him since he doesn’t really express himself or allows himself to enjoy the little things… With Jupiter, the planet of exaggeration, also influencing it all it’s obvious that when he does have fun and he does allow himself to feel it is way too intense for his own good (and it’s square a very malefic Saturn in his 8th, the house of death - the way he doesn’t balance things regarding fun literally attacks his body). He’s missing balance in this part of his life and it affects him more than he knows. First because if you never allow yourself to fully enjoy stuff you’re not actually living it and it brings a deep dissatisfaction and constant discomfort that of course implies in anxiety in the long run. Youngjae has other placements talking about anxiety so it’s definitely his case. And secondly, if you don’t allow yourself to fully feel and love all the time - when it happens it involves in loads of overthinking and paranoia and giving more than receiving and all kinds of messed up relationships - they get way too intense in a bad way. So this benefic is not being all… Benefic to him, I’d say. It does bring luck with other things, like with attracting great and loyal (Capricorn) friends much like a great sense of humor (the planet that talks about joy and love in a witty sign - great humor indeed). Also, the house of children with the planet of children there is likely to bring a good family… But the sign it’s in can be on its way. I won’t read much into it ‘cause it involves predictions, just for you to get that even if it’s just sounding bitchy this Jupiter is doing good as well.
However, since the house of fun literally talks about parties and addictions… With the planet of exaggeration there… You get what I mean. It’s likely that Youngjae exaggerates in something in his life, and there’s two other things talking about this in his chart so it’s definitely a thing. I’m not sure to what extent this will be in his way in the long run, but for now it’s at a manageable level. I won’t go much into it, though, since it’s very personal. Don’t ask me to talk about this.
The 6th House
The house of health ruled by Saturn like it’s in his chart means that Youngjae has some trouble with his immune system. Mostly out of his stubborn ways since said Saturn is in Aries, but also something he can’t control. This explain his allergy to cats, for example. This Saturn is opposite Mercury, so his mind literally doesn’t see the bad it’s doing to him (although it makes him independent as well, even if badly acting when making him feel inadequate). To put it simply, he was born with a body likely to have trouble healing itself properly but he also doesn’t take care of himself like he should, which makes him get sick even more frequently. If you pay attention to all of GOT7′s interviews and ~reality~ shows, you’ll see that he’s always sniffing or sneezing, etc. It won’t always show in a big and concerning way, but it’ll always be there - he’s prone to getting sick easily and quicker than others. Which must be very hard with the kind of life that he leads, with demanding schedules and all, but at the same time it brings him some structure to follow - his managers help him with this, even if he feels controlled. JYPE might be wrong in many things, but GOT7 does not starve themselves to death like other companies normally make their artists do. If anything, some of them get paranoid because of the media and knetizens’ opinions (mostly Jackson), but you know what I mean, right? Youngjae’s schedule is busy but in part this is being benefic to him since this responsibility of taking care of his diet and all is being put onto him - which is to show that although Saturn is a jerk it can also bring good things. This because Saturn is in the 8th, a house that talks about contracts and financial exchanges - so since these subjects are being taken to the 6th, his health is also being nicely influenced by his contract with the company. Weird, I know, but that’s literally what it says. Which is amazing, btw, since most idols actually have only bad things comming from their contracts and 8th houses. So yay, Youngjae! lol
Aquarius in the 6th like it’s in his chart also indicates a deep worry regarding society and wanting to fix it somehow. By itself it wouldn’t mean much, just something he thinks about now and then, but since he has others things talking about it it’s definitely something that is constantly in his mind. Read the 11th to understand this better.
The 7th House
The house of relationships and partnerships (mostly professional). When Pisces is here like it is in his chart the person loves the concept of being in love and loves who they are when they’re in love - which brings constant crushes but not necessarilly full on relationships. As in, it’s likely that Youngjae is always interested in someone but doesn’t really mean he always acts on it. But he does sometimes - and like I’ve already explained will overthink, be intense, etc. Although Pisces is bringing luck it can also mean exaggeration and since he also has that intense Moon in Scorpio and a Venus conjunct a malefic in the 12th - it’s totally his case. Youngjae is the kind that devotes himself entirely to whom he loves, will do absolutely everything for them and will have a hard time recognizing / respecting his boundaries. Will have a lot of trouble moving on too, and his memory is amazing at playing tricks with his mind and heart… So he’ll literally make himself suffer without having to. Youngjae is truly the kind of friend that comes to you asking for advice, will listen attentively and then proceed to do what he already wanted to. Mercury in Virgo is making him stubborn, his Moon in Scorpio doesn’t let go, his 5th house is defined by exaggeration… His posture towards relationships is certainly bringing him trouble, he has a lot of feelings and doesn’t know how to deal with them. And the worst part is that he’s so nice and naive and altruistic that… People will certainly take advantage of him. And he’ll have a hard time forgiving himself, since he can be very stern because of Jupiter being in Capricorn ruling this house. I’ll go more into this in his 12th.

However, when talking about professional partnerships he’ll be lucky - he’ll attract people interested in investing in him (hi, JYP) or even literally creating with him. Youngjae could also have luck when opening up his own business, but only if related to his music… Other kinds are likely to fail in the long run. Oh well.
Saturn in Aries Retrograde in the 8th House
Saturn is the biggest malefic and wherever it is in a chart it will talk about suffering and hardships. It’s a teacher that inflicts pain until you learn, and if you don’t… The pain is constant. In Youngjae’s case, it’s even harder for him to deal with since said Saturn is Retrograde and in a bad sign for it - Aries makes Saturn be all over the place, messing not only with the houses it’s ruling but the whole chart - that’s how malefic and impeditive it can get. And it’s also in a malefic house, making it clear that this Saturn does inflict a lot of pain in Youngjae’s life.
I won’t go much into it because it also talks about deep, personal stuff. But overall this placement (combined with others in his chart) implies in such intense, uncontrolled anxiety that his body directly suffers because of it - which is related to what I said in his 6th. Since the 8th talks about money coming from others and relating to others and his Venus conjunct Mars in the 12th are pointing to this as well, it’s safe to bet that Youngjae in the future might find himself in situations of having to spend a lot because of his family, unfairly so. And this might be related to his own family but also to the person he marries. The person will either truly take advantage of him or he’ll just be paranoid about it. To be honest, I think it’s gonna be a little bit of both: he’s gonna be disappointed about one marriage where he’ll be naive while the other he’s gonna be very paranoid with. Yes, might go through a divorce caused by this kind of trouble. Money.
If his emotional placements were healthy I’d say he’ll only have  money related troubles regarding documents (mortgages, bank loans, etc) - but since his 12th and Moon in Scorpio are definitely on his way this guy is likely to have much trouble regarding serious relationships. Even if his 7th is being ruled by a benefic, it’s not working strongly enough to prevent difficult situations. If anything, that Jupiter in the 5th and ruling the 7th is actually proof that he’ll be exaggerated about how he shows love and support - definitely involving money issues in relationships because he’ll feel like it’s a good way to demonstrate his love… But that’s not true at all. This is stronger than him, though. Even if he ever gets to read this, it’s very likely that he’ll have a hard time controlling himself regarding this. Too much passion caused by his Moon in Scorpio and Venus conjunct Mars in Leo in the 12th for this kind of trouble not to happen. Also, remember Saturn is the king of giving life lessons because it wants you to learn: he can’t escape these situations, he just has to learn how to deal with them wisely. The fact that said Saturn is in Aries, though, indicates that he’ll be very stubborn and prideful about it so. Well.
Randomly, this house also talks about nightmares and in Youngjae’s case it gives him restless sleep. Jaebum has mentioned more than once how Youngjae could sing while he was sleeping, and even talk to him sometimes - this is all caused by this Saturn in the 8th (and backed up by the Moon in the 3rd [intense, constant feelings] and Venus conjunct Mars in the 12th [inner turmoil]). Also has to do with how he has trouble waking up early, and since it’s being caused by a malefic there’s not much he can do about this - and this is likely to never change in his life. Another thing is that since Sagittarius is being influenced by the ruler of Capricorn, since Jupiter is working with it, the house where Sagittarius is is also being influenced by Saturn - so the 4th will be influenced, like I said in that topic. However, in this case I’m mentioning it to explain that since said sign talks about one’s  back it’s gonna be a constant thing in his life to worry about - remember how he has to be careful with exaggerating and that the 4th talks about the beginning and end of things? So Youngjae definitely has to learn to respect the limits of his body soon or else he’ll get permanently injured.
Medium Coeli in Taurus in the 9th House
I thought of not properly explaining this one at first since it can get pretty deep but I’ve warned you in the beginning. So it’s up to you, and has nothing to do with me! lol
Medium Coeli defines one’s goals in life, what they should look to achieve - their mission in life. When it’s in Taurus it’ll talk a lot about family, financial stability and looking for the good things in life (depending on what the person likes, of course). So in Youngjae’s case, what he loves he loves a lot and will do his best to keep on feeding that love. He also feels strongly the need of being responsible and hardworking at all times, even when he doesn’t feel like it - Youngjae probably forces himself a lot. This is caused by what I’m about to explain next. Be warned it’s serious, dark shit. This is the last time I’m warning you. You’re free to go read his 10th and ignore this.
[i told you]
This Medium Coeli is conjunct the biggest and most malefic star in the sky. Although it also implies in financial success and being recognized by big crowds (randomly let me add that many famous people have it, even Donald Trump does lol), it’ll mostly talk about suffering one cannot run away from. In Youngjae’s life (combined with absolutely everything in his chart, so let me remind you that I’m talking about him and only him) this is bringing great paranoia and the constant feeling of not being enough, and also attracting people that will make him suffer a lot. Specifically when talking about romantic relationships. It’s likely that he’ll suffer because of abusive relationships and will take a very long time to realize it. Youngjae has a deep, deep feeling of inadequacy and it prevents him from being as happy as he should - he’s constantly feeling the effects of this star, making him want to cry because of a kind of inner turmoil that he cannot control or properly understand. I’m afraid South Korea is very bad at recognizing one’s need to see a psychologist because they see it as a weakness (and Youngjae does too because of his huge pride and the need of never showing to others things he’s not good at), which is a huge mistake but sadly I can’t do anything about it. But Youngjae is definitely the kind of guy that should see one. These things that he deeply feels… He has to talk about it. I hope he does. I won’t do predictions about this or elaborate on it, but it’s something that I have to mention or else we’d be ignoring a huge part of what makes him be the way he is. This star also talks about injustice depending on the person, and it’s his case - if Youngjae is ever involved in a scandal, I’ll tell you right now: it’s a 99% chance of it being a misunderstanding or a plan of trying to ruin him. He might lose a lot because of it. Another thing is that it brings injustice in his case because he has such a huge heart and deep need of helping others that while he does it Youngjae will attract the attention of bad people. If you do good and change people for the better, the people that have other interests will definitely be against it since they’ll be losing because of it. So Youngjae has to be careful with people he doesn’t know now but will eventually turn into enemies, betraying him. This might only happen in the far, far future though - if it ever truly does. The only thing that I can say for sure will happen since I’m not doing any proper prediction technique is that he’ll have real trouble with romantic relationships caused by this star.
[/i told you]
It’s likely that he will follow one career only but also that he may teach in the future, since the 9th also talks about teaching. Or, even, that he might move and live somewhere else - another country or a city different from the one he was born at (so it’s safe to say that he could move to Seoul for good even when his career as an idol is done).
The 10th House
The house of career and what people will recognize him for, dignity, how he’ll deal with authority. Since it’s being ruled by a very strong but kinda troubling Mercury and Gemini talks about communication, Youngjae might be good at talking to elders but at the same time is prone to causing misunderstandings. It’s not easily defined in his case, in some situations he’ll be lucky and in others people won’t forgive him about the way he talks at all. This can bring trouble with authority figures not only in his professional life but like with police officers or even the government itself. So this guy better be careful when handling getting fined and stuff like that - depending on how he deals with it he’ll have to pay even more.
However, this is also bringing him luck in the sense that his intelligence is ruling his career and that’s a good thing since he’s very clever. He’ll know what to do to achieve what he wants and is determined enough to actually do it instead of just planning on it. Gemini here also will mean that Youngjae has to use his communication a lot to get results in general - he has to convince people to give him a chance of recording a certain song, for example, or even talking for so long and so much that people will just give him what he wants. lol He’s very convincing because of this, and it’ll certainly help him when talking about getting rich. His mom is defining this house as well so it’s safe to say that her posture towards life taught him a lot of how to be a good professional, so he knows his ways around people because of how he grew up seeing his mom do the same. Yet another point talking about how his family is good for him. :)
Pars Fortunae in Cancer in the 11th House
The 11th house talks about altruism, caring about society and friendships. Having it in Cancer literally means that Youngjae is emotionally affected by how society works - if it’s not up to his standards, to what he thinks is right it gives him great sorrow. Specially if he sees any of these in person, like seeing someone begging for money or even suffering any kind of injustice. He’ll feel their pain as if it’s his own, and since said house is ruled by the Moon in the 3rd - he’ll talk about it a lot, he’ll feel the need of sharing and protesting these things. He’ll stand up for those he think are in need and will fight for causes involving helping those in need in general. He’ll also show this to others, he’ll do his best to influence people to do good as well. It’s something he takes very seriously, Youngjae cannot stand to live his life without helping others. And sometimes he’ll be aware that he can’t do anything about certain things out of his control and it will crush him. :( He’s a really, really kind guy that worries deeply about humanity. It’s not just talk, it’s not marketing. It’s truly how he feels.
Having Pars Fortunae here clearly states that most of his luck and blessings in this life are gonna come from his good heart - he’ll be good to others in such frequent and honest ways that the people he helps will give him things back or life will just indirectly give him good things back. Like a positive-karma-kind-of-thing. lol Since Cancer talks about family, in his case this will also mean that a lot of the good things in his life will be caused or involve his family in many ways. I told you his joy is caused by him growing up a loved and spoiled child, right? It’s one example, but his family brings other amazing things to him.
Since Pars Fortunae talks about one’s career, what’s gonna bring the person money - in Youngjae’s case he has other elements pointing to having artistic skills and since his Pars Fortunae is in a sign that talks about it it’s obviously his case. I guess it’s easy to say it now since it’s already happening but trust me when I say it’d be possible to guess it even before he debuted. lol He was destined to have many gains because of his artistic skills and feelings (since this house is ruled by the Moon). Another thing is that this placement is also giving him great inner strength and energy (also positive vibes), combined with his Leo placements it’s the cause of why he’s such a cute ball of sunshine.

Venus and Mars in Leo in the 12th House
This house will have a lot of things that I’ve already mentioned since I took it in consideration to explain the others, but bear with me.
The 12th house is malefic and in his life talks about self destruction, hidden enemies, feeling trapped. Youngjae has part of his feelings (Venus) and his determination (Mars) in a house that talks about things we do to ourselves that we don’t realize at first but brings us great suffering - it literally is telling us that Youngjae can be very bad to himself and quite often. He’s very determined and goal oriented and can fight hard for what he wants - which can be good, of course, but it also means that Youngjae doesn’t respect his limits and often puts himself in situations that are just too much, and torturing even. It makes you wanna slap him, doesn’t it? Because he’s constantly worried about others and wants to help them - but never stops to fully take care of himself.
This is enhanced by the fact that said Mars is in Leo, a sign that stands for fighting for others and protecting the ones one loves. So combining everything, Youngjae can put himself in front of others to protect them without thinking - and people just won’t do the same for him. So this brings two kinds of pain: the pain of suffering because of others and the pain of being left behind and uncared for. And let’s consider, also, that this guy has his Venus conjunct said Mars. His feelings are involved as well, which makes this even more intense - he won’t stop to think about it, he’ll just act. And this is where lies the hidden enemy thing - Youngjae is literally his own enemy regarding his emotional health. He gives too much, expects too much (because Leo is known for wanting specific things in a relationship).
This Venus is also talking about wanting to take care of people that are just as troubled or even more so than he is. He’ll want to take care of them, protect (Leo) them - and this can be so tiring… But Youngjae won’t give up on them because when he loves, it’s all or nothing. So he’ll never stop loving the person even if they hurt him. Obviously a bad thing. Since the 12th house talks about mind prisons as well, this is definitely something that might make him feel trapped in the future. This Venus is square his Moon, which brings constant feelings of discontent - so he does love intensely but will look for specific people to love. He has a defined type of what he wants and won’t accept less. Which is not a good thing in his case since said Venus is in the 12th and like I said he’ll look for people that can be some kind of burden for him… Youngjae is the kind of guy that is very aware of what he wants and will do his best to achieve it but when achieving it (as in, the person lol) he’ll be blinded by love and won’t understand how bad said situation is being for him. And let’s not forget the huge pride Leo brings, specially in his case with Venus conjunct Mars, Mercury in the 1st, etc. He’ll spend a really long time in situations that should’ve ended as soon as they began. He’s stubborn about everything, to be honest, but regarding relationships… It’s even worse. Leo in the 12th often makes one scared of things without any reason, and Saturn in the 8th is backing it up in Youngjae’s case - so it explains a lot of how easy it is to scare him and how afraid of the silliest things he can get.
The good thing is that this Leo is bringing great energy and inner strength, and also explains his youthful vibe and contagious laugh. What makes him suffer also makes him greatly adorable, as dramatic as this sounds. Oh, this is yet another Leo characteristic - drama. Loads of it. Since it’s in a malefic house like this, Youngjae’s Leo traits are gonna make him so, so dramatic it can get unnerving to others and bring him trouble. Will also make him believe that some problems are bigger than they actually are, and Youngjae will feel trapped regarding them. This will be about many things but it’s good to mention what I’ve said all the way up in the beginning - that he’s so demanding with himself that it’ll cause him trouble in different ways. So it also attacks his emotional health represented by this house, bringing great paranoia and the feeling of not being enough when he definitely is. However, this kind of drama when being shown to people will be more endearing than anything else. So what deep inside brings him trouble, outside will just make him look… Adorably exaggerated? Cute. lol
Although this house is definitely bringing him many hardships, Youngjae has learned through his pain and extreme sensitivy and, like I said, this guy is very worried about other people’s well-being. So what he says about wanting to live abroad after his military service to be able to heal people with his music is not just talk. If he’s ever going to be able to, though, I don’t know since no prediction techniques are being used. But this is directly related to his Pars Fortunae in his 11th, so trust me when I say Youngjae just has a huge fucking heart.

I’ll believe you. I’ll be honest, though: in a group like GOT7 it’s hard to find a bias specially since everyone can be so loud and everyone has such charming traits - so I had already liked him, for sure, but reading his chart made me love him so, so much. He’s genuinely a nice guy, so adorable and smart and kind at the same time! Definitely worth the trouble of dealing with how stubborn he can get. lol I learned a lot about him reading his chart and I hope you guys did too. :)

The Planets
After the explanation of the 12 Houses, I have decided to do a little writing about the planets that appear in our natal chart. Here you can find out what these planets talk about and the influence they can have on our lives. In another post, if anyone is interested, I talked about retrograde planets: here. I hope it helps you!
When an individual is born, the zodiacal points in which the planets are located at that moment acquire an outstanding sensitivity and, for the rest of their life, that sensitivity will give the individual a certain attitude that will be exalted when those zodiacal points are touched by a transit.
Seven planets have space in our solar system: Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury. For esoteric astrologers, Neptune and Pluto are part of a border solar system. However, both planets exert an influence on us.
Everything that exists in our universe has been built with the forces contributed by the twelve signs of the Zodiac. The planets, therefore, will follow this rule, although each planet will have a deeper affinity with a certain sign. This is why a planet is said to govern a sign, since that planet is the one that most actively manages the characteristics of that sign:
Saturn is ruler of Aquarius and Capricorn.
Jupiter is ruler of Sagittarius and Pisces.
Mars is ruler of Aries and Scorpio.
Venus is ruler of Free and Taurus. Mercury is ruler of Virgo and Gemini.
The Sun is ruler of Leo.
The Moon is ruler of Cancer.
Modern astrologers, however, associate some zodiac signs with other planets:
Neptune is ruler of Pisces.
Uranus is ruler of Aquarius.
Pluto is ruler of Scorpio.
The position of the planets will indicate the main works that are being carried out in the life of the individual. In the sectors (or houses) where the planets meet, the individual will understand the meaning of everything he or she is doing with these jobs. Planets passing through empty houses will indicate the complementary works that will help the individual to develop the main works.
The Sun
The Sun represents the internalized will, the powers of the Ego. Our Sun stores the experiences of our ancestral past and in it end the messages of the other planets that we must execute in this life. The Sun is really who moves our "human machine", the impulses of other planets aren’t as decisive as our Sun (planets can be defined as the "ministers" of the Sun). The aspects that the planets share with each other will only manifest if the Sun (the consciousness of the individual) is predisposed to the abilities that this aspect grants. For example, a trigon of Mercury with Neptune, which gives high inspiration, but it will only have effects if the individual already has a talent as a writer or artist (either a natural gift or a worked gift).
The Sun is the consciousness achieved by the Ego (primeval solar personality) during their human experiences and, in the end, those experiences will end up modifying our personality: the individual will end his life being a different being than he or she was when he or she incarnated.
In a horoscope, the position of our Sun indicates the cycle in which the individual is working in this life: fire, water, air or earth. The aspects that the planets form with the Sun are very important, since these will indicate if there is a connection with the individual's will and the abilities that they can obtain from other planets.
The Sun manages the energy coming from Leo positively. Its other sign of regency should be Cancer, but the Sun yields such regency to the Moon, its negative polarity, so in the sexual field: the Sun represents the masculine and the Moon the feminine. In some way, the Sun will manifest itself differently in men and women.
In man, the Sun represents his apparent personality, and his Moon represents his non-apparent personality, which will manifest through the women he chooses as life partners (loving partners). For the woman, therefore, it will be the opposite, and her Sun will manifest through her life partners.
The negative aspects with the Sun: they reduce the power of the will and impose an arbitrary action on the individual. However, it is better to have negative aspects than not to have them, since if the individual doesn’t have aspects with the Sun, their life will be insipid and poor in experiences and tehir will will not manifest itself.
Therefore, our Sun tells us about:
our basic identity,
our conscious purpose,
our psychological and spiritual center,
our individuality and sense of identity
and what we want in our life.
The Moon
For atrolologists, the Sun and the Moon represent two companions. In this case, the Moon symbolizes your instincts, habits, unconsciousness, and emotional reactions. If your Sun and Moon are in compatible signs, your will and your emotions are in tune. If your Sun and Moon are in incompatible signs, you will experience a storm of conflicting wants and needs.
The sign your Moon occupies describes your emotional reactions and represents women in general and your mother in particular.
In our Moon the images of what our life is will be reflected. Depending on the type of images that we have in our inner world, we will move towards that type of life. Therefore, most of the negative events that occur in our lives are created or prompted by ourselves and, in the end, we cannot blame anyone but ourselves. Understanding that we create our reality ourselves and, furthermore, we can distort it consciously or unconsciously, will help us understand how the Universe works.
The Moon doesn’t give us any particular property, but it is responsible for transmitting the pulsations from the planets.
The position of the Moon in a sign will tell us what the individual's mental images are like. If the Moon is poorly aspected, these images will be blurry, dim, too full of color or dark. The bad planetary aspects on the Moon tell us whether planetary impulses are clearly picked up by the individual. In some cases, the bad-looking Moon, for a woman, is the announcement of a difficult character. For a man, it announces the recruitment of a difficult woman, and for both, a troubled mother.
Therefore, our Moon tells us about:
our emotions and feelings,
our daily habits patterns,
what we need and what we cannot do without what we need,
the mother figure,
domestic life
and how we feel safe during childhood.
Mercury
Mercury allows us to discern what is lawful and what is not. This planet opens the doors of our minds to higher realities. Mercury is the initiator and its position in our natal chart indicates the individual's ability to understand the relationship of things, a characteristic of intelligence. What is above is related to what is below, so Mercury will help identify what below corresponds to what is above (science of analogies). A well-regarded position of Mercury in our natal chart will indicate that the individual possesses a wonderful capacity for analysis, criticism, synthesis and discernment in order to understand the truth hidden in everything around him. The intelligence of the Universe begins within us together with feminine energy, which is the first that is born within us in order to understand the world in which we are going to incarnate.
Mercury works with the forces of Gemini and Virgo. In Gemini, Mercury is positive (masculine) and helps us to externalize our ideas in the material world. On the contrary, through Virgo it is negative (femenine) and will announce the end of a cycle and the understanding of a lesson for the beginning of a new cycle.
Mercury's bad aspects will worsen the individual's intellectual functions. First, it will hinder the ability to distinguish what is appropriate and what is not: the person will not know how to see the opportunities that they can take advantage of or, simply, their intelligent function will be reduced. On the other hand, the individual will not know how to learn from the lived experiences and that will lead them to twice encounter the same obstacles, since the individual is not capable of learning the lesson and closing cycles. Nor will the person have the necessary faculties to be able to communicate with their superior being.
Therefore, our Mercury tells us about:
our ability to think, speak, learn and reason,
our intelligence
and how we communicate with others.
Venus
In Venus, love ascends to a more intimate human plane and the projection of this love is concentrated on a face, a person, a detail, a thing, etc. Love passes from the general (Uranus) to the particular and beauty on the higher plane becomes the same beauty on Earth. In this way, the law of "what is above is the same as what is below" is fulfilled.
Reconstruction is a basic feature of Venus. The position of this planet in our natal chart indicates what the individual must rebuild, harmonize, beautify during this incarnation; that which will express with harmony, with art; that which will make them stand out for their beauty and harmony (be it their physical beauty or one of their creations). That where all the looks around them will go. If Venus never goes unnoticed by its environment, it will not go unnoticed by the individual either: he or she will have a taste, an attraction, about what Venus represents in their birth chart.
Having Venus as the dominant planet makes us a born harmonizer: someone who knows how to bring peace and harmony in big or small things; the right person to solve crises. However, they can also be the perfect artist who projects their inner harmonies into their works.
Venus is ruler of Libra and Taurus. In Libra (masculine), Venus positivizes love and peace, and helps the individual to harmonize their relationships, their homes, their environment in general. In Taurus (femenine), Venus expresses herself negatively and, instead of harmonizing and delivering that harmony, the individual enjoys and enjoys beauty and harmony (beauty becomes an object of consumption): she uses beauty through fashion, for example. The individual must be careful to focus on that stage of enjoyment, since he could forget his spiritual evolution and stagnate in material enjoyment, in the mundane.
The bad aspects of Venus can reduce the manifestation of beauty in the life of the individual: the Universe deprives the person of beauty and its enjoyment (it is important to consider which house our Venus is in). Conversely, a bad appearance with Venus could exaggerate the individual's thirst for luxury, harmony or pleasures. When the performance (force) of Venus is amplified, it beautifully covers that which is perverse, illicit, and dark. At that moment, the individual sees the vices and any negative feelings as something beautiful, poetic, spiritual... Therefore, the individual beautifies everything regardless of his true nature.
Therefore, our Venus talks about:
our ability to attract people,
the things we like and value,
what we appreciate and our social needs,
how and what excites us,
how we excite others
and how we express our feelings and affection.
Mars
Mars supposes the return of the law when it has been broken, although Jupiter can overshadow its effects in our birth chart. Mars comes into action in our life when Jupiter has finished its actions. The individual needs to exercise power, since at some point in their life, he or she is prepared to become a creator, so at some point in his life, Jupiter will allow the individual to organize life around them according to their feelings, their thoughts, their way of being. When this occurs, Mars will be the executor of this order and will take care of restoring the law of Saturn (the laws of the cosmos, the Universe) previously broken. In the same way, Mars will destroy everything built thanks to the influence of Jupiter.
If in your birth chart Jupiter and Mars are facing each other (aspects), the individual will be in a constant struggle between tolerance and rigor, permissiveness and respect for the law, between being carried away by the vices of life and spiritual discipline. The planet that is best aspected will be the planet that wins this internal struggle. When these two plans form good aspects, Mars will submit to the effects of Jupiter.
Mars is ruler of Aries and Scorpio. In Aries, Mars is positive (masculine) in projecting its zodiacal essence to the individual's head so that they can obtain their divine design. Through Aries, Mars exercises "inseminating" functions from a spiritual perspective, since it places in our brain, our mind, the "seed" that will allow us to understand the cosmic law, the law of the Universe. Unlike the first, Mars is negative (femenine) in Scorpio and that "insemination" will not be in our brain, but through our sexual organs. In Scorpio, Mars creates the physical forms that support the spiritual bodies to manifest in the human world, so it also refers to all the creations the individual obtains thanks to their work. The latter is one of the reasons why Mars is considered the planet of work and, in addition, in a natal chart it will tell us what skills the individual has for a specific job.
Mars acts as a carrier of life. Through Aries it introduces in us the seed of divinity, while through Scorpio it can be considered the bearer of death, since it provides us with a physical body for a certain time. This body (or physical form) will hold our spiritual energy for a specific time, as these physical forms must evolve and renew.
If Mars is located above the horizon, the planet works with the forces of life. On the contrary, if it is below the horizon, we will be working on creation and material forces. The position of Mars (sign and house) will tell us the work that the individual has to do, what is corrupt in us that we must renew and in which way we must renew it.
Bad aspects of Mars can indicate impotence (infertility) problems or mental problems. They can also indicate problems obsessed with sex or an unusual spiritual person (negatively speaking). At work, the bad aspects with Mars can speak about vague and little participative people, although it can also represent people with excessive and violent dedication on some occasions.
Therefore, our Mars talks about:
our ability to act and affirm ourselves based on our personal desire,
how we pursue our goals,
how we defend our rights,
how we express our anger when necessary,
our physical passion and desire for sexual gratification.
Saturn
The idea of ​​sacrifice is basic on Saturn. No matter what sign this planet is in, there will be some kind of restriction or decrease that can be solved with the corresponding sacrifice. The position of our Saturn announces which part of our Ego must be darkened: a part of our inner strength will refuse to collaborate with the plan established for us in this incarnation and, in the end, we must darken, fall into the void, to manifest everything that we have come to manifest in this incarnation.
Saturn is related to two signs: Aquarius and Capricorn. In Aquarius, Saturn is positive (masculine) and provides active intelligence, structures the thought of the individual and helps the thoughts end up manifesting in the reality of the individual. Those who have the materials and the correct mindset will be able to manifest ideas from the higher world in the physical world. Here we will have the inventors, the discoverers or those who work in the future.
On the other hand, Saturn acts in the present-future in Capricorn, and therefore acts from its negative polarity (feminine). With the strength of Capricorn, Saturn institutes our destiny. Saturn will give the individual the scenario, the environment or the reality in which he must live. This scenario will be delivered depending on the type of needs formed during our past (that karma we must pay in this life) and the needs to fulfill our life mission in this incarnation. Once this scenario is established, our life will unfold within it, but we will be free (free will) to decide the details that will complete this scenario: people, experiences, etc. Saturn does not put the details of our life, but only the "walls" of it. Saturn is the one who will put the thieves or the protectors in our path at a certain moment, and it will depend on us if that situation (positive or negative) continues over time with positive or negative consequences for us.
The bad planetary aspects of Saturn herald a life that is rugged, difficult, or full of danger. Saturn's relationship with the other planets in our natal chart define our ability to manipulate our destiny and our ability to interpret the lessons or messages of our superiors, from the Universe.
Therefore, our Saturn talks about:
our ability to create,
our discipline,
how justice works on us
and karma.
Jupiter
We have said that Saturn offers us the stage where our life will unfold, because Jupiter will be the planet that will fill that stage. Saturn gives us the stage and the law (the way of living in that stage) where our life will unfold. Jupiter represents the application of this law and how we use it throughout our lives and the situations we face. If Saturn and Jupiter form favorable aspects, the individual will be objective and will not go out of lawfulness nor will they have problems with authorities (those of the human or cosmic world). If both planets are poorly aspected, the individual will constantly face authority. Depending on which planet has the most influence on the individual, he or she will have one role or another (rebellious follower or powerful authoritarian).
Jupiter's position in our birth chart (sign and house) indicates what the individual will have in abundance and where they will exercise their power. The sign can tell you what you will have plenty of and the house where you will exercise that power. Jupiter's position will speak about authority, prestige, facilities in matters related to the sign Jupiter is in and the house it occupies. Whatever the role of the individual in their life, there is an area in which they must exercise the power to obtain the fruits that this life (experience) can provide them to evolve.
Jupiter is ruler of Sagittarius and Pisces. In Sagittarius, Jupiter is positive (masculine) and divine action is abundant allowing the voice of our superior beings to reach all the recesses of our being. Through Sagittarius, Jupiter contributes moral strength, generosity, and manages to destroy grudges, offenses or any obstacle that may occur in the "world of feelings". In Pisces, Jupiter expresses itselfs in its negative polarity (feminine), managing to moderate and purify the externalization of these feelings. In this way, in Pisces the planet lowers the emotional explosion of the individual, whether positive or negative, that may lead to future karma.
Jupiter is the planet of power. This well-regarded planet is an indicator of success and obtaining social or political powers. The bad aspects of Jupiter reduce its power and the individual is deprived of power in the house where Jupiter is. On the contrary, they can turn that power into an insolent power, unjust and corrupted by excesses or vices.
Therefore, our Jupiter talks about:
our search for meaning, truth and ethical values,
how we express our high mentality
and how optimistic we are.
Uranus
Uranus is considered the most externalized planet in our solar system. Uranus vibrates one octave higher than the other planets, so Uranus force is a destructive force when vibrating at a higher intensity that cannot be integrated anywhere without destroying it. It is not, however, that Uranus manifests itself indiscriminately, but destroys what appears to us as an obstacle in our spiritual development.
Uranus will bring a disintegrating force and its position in the natal chart talks about what it will not be able to consolidate as it disintegrates as time passes. Uranus invites us to integrate into a higher world, obscuring what already appeared dark to you, so we can recognize the darkness and we can turn it into light. Its destructive force turns the individual into a form of liberation, although we love and remain attached to our shadows, which does not allow us to clearly understand the message of this planet. Uranus represents everything beyond the real, inventions, innovations (technical or scientific). It also brings us divine wisdom in our actions in human reality.
Modern astrologers relate Uranus to Aquarius, although other astrologers are contrary to this correlation and argue that Uranus has no rulership.
Uranus is the bearer of light, the one who shows us the way to all that is high, the well of universal love that helps us open our eyes to the divine. The good aspects with Uranus in our birth chart indicate whether the person has a disposition for the higher life and in what sphere (in which house Uranus is located). On the other hand, bad aspects drown out its radiation and can make it a planet with no effect on us or, conversely, cause its disintegrating force to become destructive.
Therefore, our Uranus talks about:
our ability to free ourselves from the past,
how we adapt to new things
and how we go against the established order.
Neptune
Many astrologers say that Neptune is not part of our solar system, as it is the last planet in a border solar system. Although it is not considered a planet in our solar system, Uranus does have an effect on us and should be considered.
Like Uranus, Neptune vibrates at a higher frequency than the rest of our planets, so that Neptune's "pulsations" are as disintegrating as Uranus. Neptune gives us intellectual knowledge, and its position in our natal chart and the aspects of other planets indicates whether the person is prepared to receive that knowledge.
Through Mercury, we will be able to know the nature of Neptune. The latter will be the one to reveal the law of "above": Neptune reveals spiritual knowledge to us, drawing us closer to the superior being, whom some call Father. The light of Neptune, along with that of Uranus, sets in motion the functions of our third eye in order to contemplate the higher realities.
Astrologers have attributed to Neptune the cogency of Pisces, along with Jupiter. The subtle relationship between Neptune and Pisces is given by the following circumstances. Pisces is considered the sign of man ("the last will be the first") and, being a sign that welcomes virginal spirits (at the time, during the creation of the universe, we were virginal spirits), Neptune fits within this sign.
The bad aspects of Neptune will make the individual a strange person, from another planet, and can give them an eccentric and out of the ordinary appearance.
Therefore, our Neptune talks about:
our ability to transcend the future self,
how dreams, illusions and spirituality affect.
Pluto
Pluto is the last planet discovered and the farthest from our Sun. Some astrologers don’t agree on the functions that Pluto performs, and some don’t agree with the sign it represents (some don’t relate Pluto to Scorpio), so still there is some confusion about the nature of this planet.
Pluto links the past with the future and brings out what was buried, like a volcano. In us, Pluto empties our interior and from there the idea of ​​Pluto as regenerator is born.
Astrologers defend that Pluto vibrates to a higher octave of Mars, therefore its manifestation is violent in our lives. On the other hand, some astrologers define Pluto as the Saturn of another solar system, since it doesn’t contemplate Pluto as the planet of our solar system (nor Neptune either).
However, some say that we aren’t very sensitive to the vibrations of Pluto, since this planet exerts its vibration much better on the collectives, causing the expired to explode and the corrupt to regenerate. The bad aspects with Pluto can be described as obstacles placed in the middle of our path and ready to explode at any time, seeking for us to transform the destroyed into something new.
Therefore, our Pluto talks about:
our capacity for self transformation,
our capacity for self-renewal,
our subconscious forces, transformation, renewal and rebirth.
