Based on my OWN experience, this might not apply to everyone.
★ Capricorn moms with a mix of fire placements can be VERY furious if someone attacks their child, for example the teacher has said to their daughter/son they can’t do something. They WILL do everything, they will even go this far that the teacher might get kicked out of school. But in the end they will let the teacher stay since they do care about the teachers job.
★ Water and Fire placements truly make a parent quite emotional for the emotional needs for their child. They want everything to be okay.
★ Underdeveloped Pisceans parents may have some mental health issues with themselves and yell it out on their children. Can apply to Scorpio, Capricorn, Aries, & Aquarius in my opinion too. Since these are the signs who try to ignore their feelings but in the end they have a lot to deal with.
★ Parents with underdeveloped water influence can make them rebel against EVERYTHING of their child needs *with a mix of air/fire
★ Parents with Libra & Pisces placements can make them choose this and the other day this. They have some conflict with being ‘two-faced’ but this doesn’t make them directly a worse parent.
★ Capricorn / leo moon truly are the most loyal to their partner. Since they both are hopeless romantic and would do everything in the name of love. Don’t forget: these signs will always do put themselves as first since they try to be realitsic. *maybe pisces moon too but I’m not sure
★ Parents with air moons may have had one of the most complicated childhoods ever and the child may repeat this.
★ Parents with earth or air influence make them (over)think a lot about the future. They might even have some burn-outs at times.
★ Fire & Water placements can make them throw with money easily, while earth placements are very possesive about their money. I found air placements have the best way with dealing money.
! Don’t forget: this really all depends on the overall chart of someone.
About a week or so ago, give or take a few days, I made a post about alchemy and how to integrate it into your life. Now, we’re going to get into the nitty gritty! This post is dedicated to explaining what kind of alchemy we’re really going to be practicing here, and how to get started on it!
First of all, I feel I should repeat myself: you don’t need a fancy lab or transmutation circles to be an alchemist. All you need to use is your body, your mind, and your soul. Alchemy will help you to understand and categorize your existence and the existence of things around you in order to better effect change in your life.
Let me also be clear: just because alchemy doesn’t requireexperiments, books, candles, or any kinds of spells doesn’t mean you’re prohibited from using them. The beauty of it is that, once you’ve wrapped your head around the metaphysical processes of alchemy I’m going to lay out in this series of posts, you’ll find your spellcraft, your research, and all other aspects of your life — mystical, mundane, and everything in-between — to be given a boost!
That’s the plan, anyways! ☆
So, to begin, let’s lay out what alchemists are really talking about when they use all their various symbols: earth, water, air, fire, aether, salt, mercury, and sulfur. I’ve discussed salt, mercury, and sulfur before, but to review a bit, they’re codewords for body, mind, and soul. The alchemist endeavors to align the mind to the purposes of the soul so that the body can change things or be changed. If you really apply it well, you could rewrite reality! Or something like that.
As for the other elements, they’re the real bread and butter of this series. Let’s give it a brief overview:
Earth ~ Sometimes associated with salt, Earth is represented by the color black. Earth represents physical reality, the body, and the illusion that all things are solid and unchangeable.
Water ~ Sometimes associated with mercury or quicksilver, Water is represented by the color white. Water represents emotions, the subconscious, and the realization that reality is an ever-evolving fluid interplay of energies.
Air ~ Sometimes associated with gold, Air is represented by the color yellow. Air represents thought, the conscious mind, and coming to an understanding of how one is able to comprehend the world’s true state.
Fire ~ Sometimes associated with sulfur, Fire is represented by the color red. Fire represents the soul to some extent, but is more accurately called the “agent of transformation” and the epiphany that you, too, can effect change.
“What, then, is Aether?” you ask, trying not to think about a certain CGI action-adventure series with four color-coded heroines. Aether is the fifth element, and the resultant you get by mastering and combining the other four elements. This is the pinnacle of magick, and one you’ll reach in time, if you’re patient.
As this series goes on, I’ll go through the elements step-by-step so that you can, within your own practice, integrate them into your life. For now, there’s some homework you can do to prepare yourself!
While continuing your research, begin to observe animals around you. Whether it be a deer in the park, the koi in your neighbor’s pond, or even just your cat, watch them closely and with a mind open to new lessons. How is this animal different from you? How is it the same? In what way does this animal go about its life differently from yours, and is this a way that might improve your life?
There are lessons to be learned from everything around us, from the sun in the sky to the ants in the grass, and even the device you’re reading this on right now. I’ll go into my own beliefs on animism and things another time, though.
Be diligent in your studies, and may the Tree of Life always shelter you!
Spring is easily my favorite time of year. Fall is a very close second and no one can deny the enchantment of the newly crisp autumn air and the turning and falling of the leaves. But for me it is the bursting color and rebirth of spring that enchants and excites me the most. Being born in April, perhaps I have something of a natural bias.
