REMINDER you don't need to do any of these things to worship a deity, these are just suggestions, remember that if you don't want to or can't do any of this that it's totally ok !!

i know this has been talked about a lot but i can’t believe taylor put out nineteen songs where she turns herself inside out, reveals all of her trauma to her listener, and ultimately concludes that she found someone who accepts all of her scheming and even appreciates it, before ending an alternate edition of the album with ‘yeah so I’m a liar. I’ve been an unreliable narrator the entire time. you wouldn’t believe any of my stories if you actually knew who I was. I’m actually too broken to understand. i’m all alone and I can’t be helped.’

Astro Notes III ☆

Libra Ascendant people may be either overweight or underweight

Venus in the 6th, 8th, and 12th can be attracted to sexually ambiguous people, that are generally really private about their sexuality

Pisces and Cancer Moon is somehow able to forgive anything and anyone (the time it takes, depends on the Mars sign too) and Pisces Moon is the most likely to believe that criminals should not be punished, but healed, no matter what they did

Capricorn in 4th will enjoy a work they can do from home

Mercury/Sun/Jupiter in 3rd will prefer online courses and Mercury/Sun/Jupiter in 9th will prefer to travel abroad in order to study (that really depends on your Jupiter sign too)

Placements of Sagittarius or 9th house show that the person will avoid negative people no matter what

Moon in 5th/12th will attract dramatic people and will have a hard time escaping from toxic relationships, especially if the Moon's sign is Leo or Pisces

Basically, Capricorns are attracted to sensitive, kind-hearted people but they also want you to be serious and responsible for your mistakes

10th can show insecurities you have when your are around people

All possible combinations of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo,3rd, 12th and 6th, create an active mind that never stops over-thinking and analyzing things

Pluto in the house of your Ascendant will make it hard for someone to express themselves the way they want to

Sun, Moon, or Mars in 6th or 10th makes the most realistic people

Libra Mercury has a lovely voice and may like flirting, while Taurus Mercury has a calming and trusting voice

When Mars or Saturn touch water signs, they become lazy, unmotivated and apathetic, but Mars in Scorpio can be pretty strategic and aggressive

Moon/Mercury in Scorpio and Sun/Moon/Mercury/Neptune/Pluto in the 8th house children, will hide most of their personal stuff from their family and may face problems with lying on purpose

Aries and Sagittarius Moon or Mercury people, are brutally honest, direct and always have an answer for everything in an argument

It's probable that someone's Moon or Mercury signs/houses may influence them more than their Sun's

Virgo is extremely private when it comes to sexuality, while Pisces and Gemini are mostly confused about it

Mercury in 5th indicates a good singing voice

Negative aspects between Moon and Pluto indicate eating disorders

Pisces in 20° is very lazy and likes giving orders

Venus shows your taste in fashion, but the 2nd house is more important when it comes to how you dress

It's hard to hear the heartbeat of someone with many planets in water signs or houses

Moon and Mars in fire houses, indicate warm hands and generally warm bodies

Aquarius Moon/Mercury can be much more self-centered than Leo in these planets

Libra Moon seeks more harmony in social relationships than Libra Sun

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto affect whole generations of people

Planets in their exaltation sings have more potential for development, than in their natural signs

People with Mars in Aries, Taurus, Leo, Capricorn or in 1st, 2nd and 5th, hide an animalistic side, especially in sex

The house our Pluto is in, shows ways we can transform ourselves

Our 11th house, shows things we are innovative about

Our future job is connected to our MC and Part of Fortune while Saturn and Jupiter show what we need from our job. For example MC in Gemini indicates a career in communication, media, writing etc and a Jupiter in Taurus indicates that what we need from our career is security and stability

The suspense
