Throwback to one of my Favorite anime series in the 90′s. Ami MizunoakaSailor Mercury from Sailor Moon. I love characters with short hair. :P How about you guys, which pretty soldier do you love?
hey guys!!! Ik I’ve been inactive but I really wanted to do another survey that combines psychology and astrology. This time I was thinking about flirting and how different placements in the chart all rlly play a part in flirting and I wanted to see what kind of trends with specific elemental placements I would get in these flirting related questions (applying to the ascendant, venus, mercury and mars). Which placements generally are more confident about their abilities in flirting? Which elements feel more comfortable doing some types of flirting rather than others? Which feel that there flirting styles are much different over text or online than their real life approach? This is not an ultra scientific survey with promised perfect accuracy, I’m not a professional in any way I’m simply doing this for entertainment and because I find the topic really interesting and I know you guys have too when I’ve postedthem before!! So please if you could take the time to take this survey it would be so awesome!!! once I get a sufficient number I will post my findings for everyone in case you are interested! Sending loads of love and light ❤️✨ here’s the link again!!!

Happy Mythology Monday! We’ve noted before how astrology, metallurgy (and by extension, alchemy), and classical mythology were often closely connected during the early modern period. These woodcuts, from Johannes ab Indagine’s Introductiones apolesmaticae in physiognomiam, astrologiam naturalem, complexiones hominum, naturas planetarum,are another example of this. From the top, we have personifications of the Moon, the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, and each one is accompanied by their corresponding alchemical symbol. If you look at the chariot wheels, you’ll notice that they contain various Zodiac signs. Which one are you?
“Tiny planets of the Solar System” “Petites planètes du Système Solaire”

All my tiny embroidered planets are now available on my Etsy shop I wanted them to be as cheap as possible so I really hope you will like them and got one or more They are really cute and even more shiny and bright in real! Let me know which one you would like to get?
Everyone loves Bohemian Rapsody because it is total nonsence for the most part and then there are lines that just HIT THE HEART and feel all to real. And is that not just life, nonsence and emotion?
□ Mars in virgo is indeed one of the kinkiest placements out there, and are very straightforward in how, when and where they like it.
■ pisces moon can cry over the thought of them crying.
□ capricorn moon is very sensitive but you’ll never catch them crying.
■ your 7th and 8th houses hold the sign of your best lover or worst enemy.
□ venus in virgo way of showing love is by never asking you to change, instead they’ll let you change at your own pace.
■ mercury and Jupiter both also indicate your type of humour.
□ mercury in the 12th are usually talking to themselves when alone.
■ Mars in cancer love language is physical touch. Specially in love relationship, they will literally cry if you don’t touch them.
□ sagittarius tells lies to be liked while Gemini just lies bc they don’t ever want to stop talking.
■ scorpios hide their feelings so well, they don’t even know them themselves.
□ mars in scorpio & leo love watching other people fight or get mad. It’s attractive.
■ Aries risings females are more straightforward and tomboy-ish than suns.
□ Aries & Leo hate copycats.
■ Cancer, Pisces, Gemini, Libra are most likely to be copycats.
□ your toughest relationship w a family member is usually with someone whose moon conjunct your sun or vice versa (Ex. Their moon in Scorpio - your sun in scorpio) it takes a while for both of you to get along and you will need to learn to understand each other in order to have a healthy relationship.
■ capricorn, sagittarius & gemini placements don’t believe in astrology (or prolly do but will never admit it)
□ Aquarius risings have an unconventional beauty, I’ve notice most of them have their eyes kinda far apart.
At its founding, the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) inherited the Army’s Jupiter and Redstone test stands, but much larger facilities were needed for the giant stages of the Saturn V. From 1960 to 1964, the existing stands were remodeled and a sizable new test area was developed. The new comprehensive test complex for propulsion and structural dynamics was unique within the nation and the free world, and they remain so today because they were constructed with foresight to meet the future as well as on going needs. Construction of the S-IC Static test stand complex began in 1961 in the west test area of MSFC, and was completed in 1964. The S-IC static test stand was designed to develop and test the 138-ft long and 33-ft diameter Saturn V S-IC first stage, or booster stage, weighing in at 280,000 pounds. Required to hold down the brute force of a 7,500,000-pound thrust produced by 5 F-1 engines, the S-IC static test stand was designed and constructed with the strength of hundreds of tons of steel and 12,000,000 pounds of cement, planted down to bedrock 40 feet below ground level. The foundation walls, constructed with concrete and steel, are 4 feet thick. The base structure consists of four towers with 40-foot-thick walls extending upward 144 feet above ground level. The structure was topped by a crane with a 135-foot boom. With the boom in the upright position, the stand was given an overall height of 405 feet, placing it among the highest structures in Alabama at the time. In addition to the stand itself, related facilities were constructed during this time. Built directly east of the test stand was the Block House, which served as the control center for the test stand. The two were connected by a narrow tunnel which housed the cables for the controls. Again to the east, just south of the Block House, was a newly constructed Pump House. Its function was to provide water to the stand to prevent melting damage during testing. The water was sprayed through small holes in the stand’s 1900 ton water deflector at the rate of 320,000 gallons per minute. In this photo, taken March 20, 1962, construction of the Pump House area is well underway.
mercury being in taurus right now is contemplation. once it enters gemini we can begin putting our plans into action. testing ground. then cancer where perfection and standards form and leo is where our initial idea will see it’s success. work with transits.
Astrology functions as an assessment of temporal quality, but is the archetype of time ruled by any particular sign?
Preface The wheel of the zodiac is often depicted with Aries on the left, thus keeping it in line with the houses: that is, Aries corresponds to the ascendant and first house, Taurus occupies the second house, and so on.
However, there are some interesting patterns that emerge under other rotations. Rotating the wheel one sign counter clockwise, so that the first house is held by Taurus, we find Cancer and Leo on either side of the nadir, the lowest point of the wheel. This emphasizes the wonderful symmetry between each pair of signs that share rulers:
The exception being, of course, the Sun and Moon which rule one sign each. This might point to a secret identification between these forces, which are typically conceptualized as the most fundamental opposites: consciousness and the unconscious, light and dark, etc. The arcane marriage of these principles is a motif which humanity has been pondering since antiquity. Positioning this syzygy at the bottom of the wheel gives the impression that the other signs spring forth from this coupling as a series of portraits from one luminary to the other; as call and response music, or dance steps. One can say that the entire zodiac functions as a mythological alphabet that elaborates of the riddle of the Sun and Moon.
Time Under this cosmic lens, let’s examine a feature essential to our experience of the universe: time. Where does time show up in the zodiac? Can any particular sign be said to govern this concept? At the very least, we can draw the strongest general associations between time and these signs:
If you ask astrologers which sign most corresponds to the concept of time, Gemini would be a common and reasonable answer. It is the traditional ruler of clocks and measurements of time, and is said to rule the time-dependent concepts of transit and commuting.
Capricorn is another traditional response, since it rules the schedule, the time table, the restriction of time, the inexorable march of time. Father Time, the bearded old man with the scythe and the hourglass, is one of the most well known personifications of Saturn.
Aquarius is a bit more esoteric in this regard, but perfectly valid. Aquarius is most associated with the concepts of the instant, the moment … suddenness! Moreover, it is the traditional ruler of kairos, the ancient Greek idea of “pregnant time.” From Wikipedia:
The ancient Greeks had two words for time: chronos (χρόνος) and kairos. The former refers to chronological or sequential time, while the latter signifies a proper or opportune time for action. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative, permanent nature.
Chronos is a clear attribute of Capricorn, therefore these two notions of time are represented by the two Saturn-ruled signs. These two signs are farthest from our supposed origin-nadir, the Cancer/Leo threshold. Capricorn is opposite Cancer, and Aquarius is opposite Leo. This suits the mythological conception of Saturn as the demiurge, the architect of mundane incarnation, the mechanic of the machinery of the cosmos.
To complete this symmetry, we would hope that Virgo is also associated with time. That way, Saturn-ruled signs can roost up at the dome of time, representing its furthest limits, while Mercury ruled signs can reflect each other as attendants to the atemporal solar/lunar archetypes, initiating those forces into the game of time. Gemini does this job perfectly for the Moon, showing how time is “reflected” in the mind through the image of the clock.
So, is Virgo then one of our rulers of time? Ever humble and self-diminishing, Virgo does not jump out as readily as the others, but it does indeed complete a very crucial and unglamorous role. Any astrologer will tell you that Virgo rules punctuality. That is, the adherence to time. If Gemini is the clock at the train station, and Capricorn is the schedule, and Aquarius is the fortune of sliding through the closing door, then Virgo is the plain fact of showing up on time.
So it is clear that there are affinities between rulerships. The two mercury-ruled signs rule basic, mundane relationships to time: time measurement and time observance. The two Saturn-ruled signs rule the extremes of time: time’s bondage and time’s potentiation. There are also affinities between elements, which we explore later. But there are also delightful parallels between the pairs of signs which share no essential qualities. Consider that Gemini and Capricorn both rule structural, objective attributes of time, summarized by the clock and the schedule respectively. The other pair rules more subjective qualities of time: Virgo corresponds to the season, and Aquarius to the zeitgeist.
Elemental Purports What does it mean that all four of these time-governing signs are earth or air? At the most obvious level, we should note that in the cultural imagination water and fire are characterized by motion, while earth and air are not. Air is about potentiation; it is the closest element to pure yang. It is the breath, which corresponds esoterically to the pneuma, the coherence of spirit which vivifies matter. It is atmosphere: that which surrounds every atom, and every germ of life, from the smallest bud to the egg of the cosmos. In a sense, pure potentiation means being eternally unborn. It is actually full activity—boundless perpetual motion—or “unlimited wind” in the Vedas—the inexhaustible first word of creation which has no duration, and obviously no equivalent upon the time-dependent material plane.
That plane is brought to us in part by earth, the closest element to pure yin. It is easy to understand how “pure passivity” is not comprehensible within time—easier than the concept of “pure activity” which we looked at previously. There is only ever the appearance of stillness in our perception; never an object which is actually fully static. The signature “movements” of matter may be entropy and decay.
We should also understand the conventional elemental associations with the astrological attitudes: cardinality is “like” fire; fixidity like earth; mutability like air. Therefore these time signs are:
The airy part of air (Gemini)
The airy part of earth (Virgo)
The fiery part of earth (Capricorn)
The earthy part of air (Aquarius)
So earth is implicated in three of these, and air is implicated in three of these. The only exception to air is the fiery part of earth; earth in its cardinal aspect. This means it is the apparent, self-projecting aspect of earth; earth with its essence on display. Capricorn governs, if you’ll remember, the bondage aspect of time, and the sign that is the most common answer to the naive question of time rulership.
The only exception to earth is the airy part of air: Gemini. This is notably the second-most common response to the question of time rulership. And, as we have seen, together Gemini and Capricorn account for the objective qualities of time. Here’s a weird one: if Gemini and Capricorn are the most obvious rulers of time, perhaps that is partially due to the subjective quality of our time, which is so concerned with, and aware of, objective qualities!
Or maybe it is the fact that the subjective qualities of time are defined by contradiction, and thus more difficult to understand in any age. After all, what is the “earthy part of air” and “the airy part of earth”? There does seem to be an especially elusive mystery about Aquarius: the concept of kairos, but also of the wish, and of heaven. What are we to make of the fact that Aquarius is “familiar to the alien”? Or the fact that it is associated both with the moment and with “timelessness”? We have seen air as pure potentiation, necessitating boundless movement; how could there be a “fixed” expression of such a principle?
In contradiction to the most “alien” sign, Virgo is typically tagged as the most mundane sign. The relative anonymity of Virgo is also contrasted with the radical idiosyncrasy of Aquarius. And its tradition-mindedness would appear also to chafe against Aquarian novelty. Yet let us remember what these signs share: they given definition to the subjective attributes of time. We mentioned that Aquarius holds both the uniqueness of the moment, and the unchanging eternal, but Virgo holds this mystery too. Virgo’s anonymity comes from a deep, intuitive understand that we are all the same. That is why the goddess and the virgin go by so many names. In fact, they necessitate that many names, because the multiplicity of the expression is part of the expression. Virgo is the scattering of the atoms; matter in full possible diffusion. The secondary ruler of Virgo, besides mercury, is not one planet but an abundance of asteroids. Virgo knows both “I am a link in a chain” and also “I am this link.” What is punctuality but specificity? What is a unit of matter but a detail? Virgo knows both, “This season has come before,” and also, “This summer is this summer.”
Summary The wind of Gemini is the wind that blows in the quality of time, existing in some unknowable potentiation beyond this world. Capricorn is the slow-burn of matter upon which quality plays, and is thereby bound. Virgo rotates the wheel, perpetuating the cycle through its incremental movement. The rotations are then recognized by their quality of motion. Aquarius imagines the wheel stopped, glimpsed in gestalt, and the wheel is recognized by the quality of its stillness. Cumulatively, these four archetypes collaborate to describe the terms of the dance through which psyche extends itself into its many other guises.
