Retrograde - Blog Posts
bruh fuck the retrograde, a fucking lizard ran into my room and my pussy ass is too scared to hit it with a broom š
iām looking at his natal chart. even though we arenāt together anymore, i canāt help myself. iām still struggling to make sense of everything that has happened, but iām slowly accepting distance as the reality. thereās just something about him.
we both have five planets in retrograde. his are the outers. i have venus, no saturn, plus chiron or something. iāve always liked the fact i have a lot of retrograde planets, and most people donāt have more than one or two. our charts really are like a mirror.
i found the source for his violence and emotional power games. itās his mars conjunct saturn, both in twelfth house. i admire him for that. since my sun is there, iām no judge of the chaos the 12th house brings. i seem to live in it and enjoy it. our relationship was quite twelfth house after all.
but supposedly mars & saturn connections can bring a penchant for harshness and cruelty. quite frankly, that kinda turns me on. i do have a bunch of squares to my moon & pluto after all. i thought the arguments we had were fun. i have a gemini stellium and he has a gemini moon. it wasnāt fun and games for him though unfortunately.
i remember when i saw his qi energy one day in his back yard. qi energy is something i see on people sometimes, like their spirit energy. for him, it was a quick glimpse like the right side of his face was rotting. his eyeball was missing and it was like creepy. it was quite scary come to think of it, but somehow it transferred a light to me. and i donāt recall feeling too scared by it.
but after that, i began seeing a light in other peoples eyes occasionally. it was like a āhey, iām here for you. iām not judging youā kind of light. i think me seeing his qi energy gave me that light, to help me move forward when i get so depressed. and as i would come to find out, the 8th house is the house of ārotā. and he was my eighth house sun.
One more reblog! Seriously, hit me up by Friday, April 14th if you have strong opinions about what I delve into next, research-wise. Iām ready to get back to it. You can tweet me (@HDandtheVoid) or comment here on tumblr maybe? I have anonymous on, no worries. :)
The first episode is here! I have never done this before and right now, Iām planning to put up a podcast every two weeks.
Below the cut is some elaboration on the episode itself, including my sources, music credits, a glossary, and a transcript (not an exact record of this episode, but itās the script I was working with and itās both conversational and also a little less rambling than what I actually said). Iām on Twitter now, too: @HDandtheVoid. I donāt know what Iāll put there yet except maybe fun little facts and, of course, notifications on when an episode goes up.
Let me know what you think of this episode, let me know what you think I should research next*, tell me a fun space factā¦ anythingās helpful at this point!
*(Move fast if you feel strongly about what I research next, though, cuz I have to get it done by April 24thāI donāt mention it in the podcast but this is me telling you now so I am held accountable; April 24th is the next podcast.)

Glossary:
cosmic microwave background radiationāthe electromagnetic radiation left over from the time of recombination in Big Bang cosmology.
cosmologyāthe study of the properties of our universe as a whole.
heliacal risingāwhen a star or constellation rises at the same time or just before the sun.
parapegmaāa list of star rising times.
retrogradeāthe apparent motion of a planet in a direction opposite to that of other bodies within its system, as observed from a particular vantage point.
sidereal yearāthe time required for the earth to complete an orbit of the sun relative to the stars.
star catalogāan astronomical catalog that lists stars.
star chart/mapāA star chart or star map is a map of the night sky. Astronomers divide these into grids to use them more easily. They are used to identify and locate astronomical objects such as stars, constellations, and galaxies.
tropical yearāthe interval at which seasons repeat and the basis for the calendar year.
Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probeāa spacecraft operating from 2001 to 2010 which measured temperature differences in the cosmic microwave background radiation leftover from the Big Bang. (I saidĀ āanistropyā in the podcast, whoops)

...and class notes from a class on Ancient Astronomy I took with Prof. James Evans.
My argument for using Wikipedia is that it is shockingly accurate when it comes to ancient material. Iām going to try to stick to academic and government sources though.
