One Of The Biggest Things I Can Advocate For (in Academia, But Also Just In Life) Is To Build Credibility

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

Could you tell us what indicates no marriage or yes marriage in a birth chart?

I rarely see charts that are very troubled in regards to long-term relationships/marriage. You have to have multiple aspects that show difficulty and even then people are still able to find love, marry, etc.

The "Challenging" marriage aspects in the Natal Chart:

I would say that Uranus in the 7th House (natal) could be a bit difficult - it could show commitment issues, attracting on and off relationships, right person/wrong time - timing could be a bit problem for people with this aspect. This includes having Transit Uranus in your 7th house as well. The positive is that when the timing is right you can find love very unexpectedly and the relationships could be very freeing. I have observed that people with Uranus in 7th also like unusual relationship dynamics/non-standard dating.

Saturn in 7th house could be interpreted in different ways - marrying later in life, feeling dissatisfied about the thought of marriage, high standards/expectations, prioritizing other areas of life over marriage/relationships.

Pluto in 7th shows that any traumas/insecurities could manifest in relationships and marriage so the person has to heal, really wait for the right person in order to avoid jumping into unhealthy relationships.

Aspects between Juno and Uranus (square, conjunct, opposite), Juno-Saturn and Juno-Pluto could have a similar effect as the descriptions above.

Neptune in 7th, Juno in 12th could show someone that idolizes marriage/has an unrealistic idea about marriage. So that could lead to disappointment in committed relationships or once the honeymoon phase is over in marriage.

I will also add the ruler of the 7th house conjunct Uranus/Pluto/Saturn. For example: Cancer on your 7th house cusp, Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon is conjunct Saturn/Pluto/Uranus.

2. The "Good" marriage aspects in the Natal Chart:

Venus in 7th, Venus trine Juno/Venus conjunct Juno is the one that is usually associated with good, lasting marriage, supportive spouse, equality in marriage. Committed relationships could be easy for these people.

The 7th House ruler conjunct Venus has a similar effect.

Juno conjunct/trine Jupiter or Jupiter in the 7th House is great for a happy marriage. Your partner usually inspired you, teaches you a lot of things, helps you go out of your comfort zone.

Juno in the 7th House is also really favorable for commitment, attracting a spouse who has the characteristics you want in a partner, commitment could happen easily.

Libra or Taurus on the 7th House cusp also tend to have good marriages.

My advice is to wait for the right timing and the right person/not rush into it. There is always someone you are FULLY compatible with so don't waste your energy on bad relationships!

Taurus placements🍃

Taurus Placements🍃

💚Sun in taurus-i believe that they have one thing in common: they have hobbies that fulfill them. you won't catch them overworking themselves to the point that they do not take a break to do something they love. they are good at different things as well and are often fast learners. no matter what other placements they have, i think they have a pretty approachable nature. i have met people with this placement who are quite intelligent. i think they are a bit impatient at times and want to do things their own way, and it's up to you whether that offends you or not lol. loving and sensitive people at their core<3

💚Moon in taurus-some of the warmest people you will ever meet. they value the people in their lives and they are often a voice of reason when you need it the most. they know how to pay attention to you and converse with you respectfully, even when you disagree on things. they have specific worldviews that are difficult to change, but if they think you're sensible and kind, they may try to change their perspective. that being said, in any other scenario, good luck changing their mind. they're pretty chill most of the time, so when you provoke a strong reaction out of them, you probably made a huge mistake (good luck). they're also soft honestly, but do not be mistaken, they are strong people. i have noticed that they are usually closer to their mums than dads, and their dads have a distant character. main love language: acts of service<3

💚Ascendant/rising in taurus- um, stunning and magnetic. this is well-known though, but they deserve to hear it every time. they are charming and the women give off girl-next-door vibes. i feel like they all share similar eyes, just google the celebs and you'll see what i mean, just a warm look overall. some may appear intense, depending on their other placements, but as soon as you talk to them it feels like you're talking to a friend. oh and the elegance some of them have? amazing. intelligent as well🙏

💚Mercury in taurus-i have to say, i did not expect them to be so talkative. they are a bit shy when talking to new people or those they do not feel that comfortable with, but as soon as they relax with someone, they are yappers lol. when they like a topic, it's possible they have given it a lot of thought so they have a lot to say. similarly to aries mercury, they have strong opinions but they can be more open-minded when they want to. they can sound too objective sometimes, and give a bit harsh advice. they also love to gossip, sometimes even too loud when they're into it. to me, they have a specific voice, it kind of stands out among others. some men with this placement are known for having a really nice voice

💚Venus in taurus-they adore the idea of love. you'll catch them watching rom-coms every once in a while so they could satisfy that part of them. if they don't show their romantic side when they're with you, you're wasting your time cause they're clearly not that into you. they want you to share some of their interests, possibly because they want to spend even more time with you and feel like you get each other. i think they can also be guilty of idealising their partners a lot and create an image of their persona that's not real. one of their main love languages is gift giving, heavy emphasis on this.

💚Mars in taurus-intimidating when you cross them. they are pretty good at going after what they want and although they experience a lot of stress until they achieve things, they still excel at it. they may hide their frustrations pretty well, and then when they're alone or with people they can be themselves with, lmao they let out so many emotions. at this point i'm even ashamed to describe them as "stubborn" because that's their middle name, everyone knows it. out of all the placements i feel like they lean the most toward conservative views? do let me know if im on the right track here. they also need to watch out for being insensitive at times

🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄🍀🍄

💚Jupiter in taurus-i'll have to be brief here (sorry) because i don't know anyone with this placement, but only what i've read over the years. they usually have a good eye for aesthetics and appreciate following one themselves, they know how to cook and in general provide a sense of a comfortable home. they are good with all things material, and they are quite sensual. they know how to enjoy life and use their sensibility and charm to succeed, and get far in life. i respect them tbh!

💚Saturn in taurus-it isn't easy for them to focus on the material world and focus on what's right in front of them. they're often in their daydreams and are quite capable people, but they need a push sometimes to actually start doing things (khm procrastinators) that does not mean they are irresponsible, but they experience difficulties with the worldly expectations (hope this makes sense). they are sensible and wise, but the part that requires to act on it can sometimes shut down🫂i've read this many times and can confirm it since i have this placement: scared of losing things-property/money/land, you name it. lastly, they just understand how people function and they are wise!

heyyy how are u ?

so hum…I lost all my motivation. I was really determined to study and not give up, u know?

but now I don't care. My grades aren’t catastrophic but I know I could do better. The problem is that I’m no longer motivated to study. I don't know if u have any advice to get the motivation back or to help me move forward little by little.

thank u 🩶🩶

Hi! Motivation is a tricky thing, but that doesnt mean is hardest thing in the world to get back. Here are some tips to do it:

Set small rewards for yourself after tasks. For example, at the end of an assigment, eat your favourite snack; promise yourself to watch an episode of your fav show after 40minutes of studying, etc. Something short-term, simple and not-study related.

"What will happen if i dont do this?"

Build a rutine. When motivation goes on vacation, discipline will be your saviour

Get an study buddy or someone doing something productive (not nessesaryly the same as you are doing). Seeing another person doing stuff is motivating.

Start with a super simple small task, like making your bed. Get into a "productive streak"

Set an alarm. If you know you'll dismiss it, set two, three, four, ten, a thirty alarms. (Dont do this with waking up though, only for study sessions and stuff, it is proven setting multiple alarms for WAKING UP is harmful)

Romantice it. Study with your favourite drink, go to a cafe or a park, take nice pictures, write pretty notes, anything that makes studying look fun will do.

Turn your phone off. "What does this have to do with motivation?" Turn your phone off for more than an hour. No, you cant watch TV or a movie either, or play games in your computer. Everything off. We, humans, do anything when we are bored just for the sake of doing something.

Progress is progress. Dont beat yourself up if you dont do as much as you wanted to. It'll only desmotivate you.

hope this helps!
