his Sun-Mars conjunction in Taurus, a Venus-ruled sign, is so ridiculously on the nose for a hot (alleged) assassin

makes me think about how Saturn exalts in Libra, a Venus-ruled sign. discipline as devotion, not self-punishment
took me like 7-9 months of refusing to shame or coerce myself into doing things (ie exercise when I didn’t feel like it) before I truly grokked this in my bones — discipline can be one of the highest forms of self love

also: if you want to a practice/habit to endure (another Saturnian principle), shame and self-punishment are maybe the worst, most damaging motivators. you can't hate yourself into making lasting lifestyle changes

"Remaining empathetic and not apathetic, prioritizing community care, daring to dream bigger than our amoral, ineffectual political system—this is how we move forward." wrote about astrology for trying times on this cursed day venusgays.substack.com/p/ast…

soft-launching Venus Gays' grand return with an essay that's very near and dear to my heart about Brat summer, Jupiter in Gemini, and becoming a better astrologer through living life 💚 please read and share! venusgays.substack.com/p/bra…

I think about this Ani DiFranco lyric a lot: "it took me too long to realize / that I don't look good in pictures / 'cause I have a beauty that moves." wisdom from a Cancer Moon native 🩵
Lunar women need to stop worrying about not looking good on camera or not being photogenic, as they will always appear more radiant in real life. You just can’t fully capture the Moon’s true essence through a lens.

spinning the brat remix album for the first time the correct way (running at the gym, lip synching in a daze, periodically stopping to sip an iced coffee)

the way Venus' pattern looks like a gorgeous flower, Saturn's looks like a collar, and Mercury's looks like some kid doodled it on a napkin in a Chilis...compliments to the cosmos, 10/10, no notes
These diagrams show the paths traced by Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn as seen from Earth.

sooo eclipse-coded
Today I learned about a term called a "lifequake," a significant and unexpected shift in the trajectory of your life that initially feels devastating but has the beneficial outcome of catalyzing personal growth, transformation and rebirth.

turn off the music, put away your phone, and get comfortable with the sound of your own thoughts. if self-destruct feels like your default setting, replace those harsh habits with softer ones. you don't have to live life on hard mode, I promise. also: watch your substance use.

I dreamed of fire last night, the biblical kind that engulfs everything in its path. today’s eclipse in Libra is near the South Node, a point of release and decrease. of endings and skin-sheddings. since it's a Solar Eclipse, it's also a New Moon.

let go, even if it means burning a bridge. even if it means watching your old life and your old self go up in flames. every ending is a new beginning ❤️‍🔥
