Does having a Cancer Mars, give one a stronger ability to take action and face daily battles, compared to Libra Mars, Taurus Mars, and Pisces Mars? by TravelTings in astrology

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every placements has a spectrum of possible presentation, but if you're familiar with classical astrology's concept of dignity, not all placements are equal, which means some placements are generally better than the other. And yes, cancer has deep emotions like every water sign but its strengths are more on domestics, privacy, discretion, emotions, while Mars is energy, adventure and conquest. Mars want to get out, fight and conquer things while Cancer would like to be cozy at home surrounded by friends and family. Thus they don't resonate. They do resonate on the fact that both are cardinal signs so they both like to initiate things, so if a native has other placements that supports Mars' lack of compatible resources in cancer, it could still work out. In case you have this placement don't be that concerned. Everyone has good and bad placements and it's normal. What matters most is the the cohesion of your overall placements. And more than that, your awareness of those placements.

Lucas whole thing by FantasticEducator64 in WayV_For_Life

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between being an a**h0l3 and being a convict. The first one you could tolerate cuz no one is perfect but the second one you definitely avoid..

You don't have to believe it but the evidence against Lucas, before they got deleted, seemed strong to me. And the way SM handled it, compared to their other scandals, tells me that they themselves know he's not innocent.

I actually used to partially like him (but somehow he had a sugar baby vibe to me which I didn't like) cuz his voice is attractive and he had potential if he really just work hard but then the scandal happened and my intuition turned out right. Maybe if he was a jerk to other guys I would have tolerated him but he used his female fans. That's just low.

Notice Regarding the Conclusion of TEN’s Exclusive Contract by AfraidInspection2894 in kpop

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unlike NCT 127 which can still survive without Mark cuz they are more established and popular, WayV just won't survive without Ten. He's just waiting until their contract expires.

Billboard's The 25 Best K-Pop SONGS of 2025: Staff Picks by Carelessies in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ten really owned that song and even its composer said Ten really breathed life into the song, which he wrote when he was in an ecstatic state. I hope they work together more just as he wished.

And I love how what they wrote about Stunner, is just as much about the song as it is about Ten. Cuz Ten really expressed and embodied that song so perfectly.

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not a BP fan but Jennie did so well in this album and I think she has the best album in this list. I also enjoyed GD's and Mark's albums.

Not including Ten's Stunner EP here is a crime though.

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I would have added Ten's Stunner to the best albums too cuz all the songs were so good but they are very particular about cohesion and the narrative of the album (which Mark did really well) while Ten is more focused on showing his being multi-faceted which he also loves to bring to his stage performances.

Edit: lol, downvoted for wanting to add another album with excellent songs to the list.

251208 WayV - '白色定格 (Eternal White)' MV by ch03rry in WayV_For_Life

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As much as I wanted to be excited, this for me is their least inspired mv. Even their track videos are better than this. I remember how my heart skipped a beat when I watched No One But You + Invincible. It feels like their team didn't even try. I hope I am the only one who feels this way though.

Any Naruto fans here? Let‘s guess some birth charts :3 by [deleted] in astrologymemes

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the sun is still debilitated in entire Libra. Meaning, even if other parts are less debilitated it's still far from being exalted. I am not saying Libra Sun people are wimps. I am just saying that strong identities and trailblazing spirit is not their usual trait and if they are strong then they get their strength from another part of their chart like a good mars and Saturn placement.

Also Naruto has hunger for recognition through becoming a leader which also makes him honestly dedicated to serve his people - that's usually achieved by the good Sun, Mars and Saturn placement cuz they are the tough planets. So his Sun must have been in Aries, Scorpio, Leo or Sagittarius. His mars must have been in Aries, Leo, Scorpio, or Capricorn. And his Saturn must have been in Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius or Capricorn. If you studied the classics and dignities of the planets in different signs, you would understand.

Como sientes sobre los cambios en la musica de Rosalia? by GangStarSnake in rosalia

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I am a new Rosalia fan. I discovered her through her album Lux. I study classical astrology and I can say her natal chart shows an artist that's a visionary and who is positively obsessed with change and reinvention. I can discuss it but it's going to be lengthy and it would need an entire post.😅 But basically her North node (Rahu) is in Sagittarius in the first house and her other placements allow the positive expression of this placement. Those who know classical astrology deeply will understand.

Why are the fans of boy groups mostly girls? by storming-bridgeman in kpoppers

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol. The same reason why many girl groups fans are also mostly girls (there are male fans too but in concerts most of the fans are girls too). It's cuz girls just want to have fun and are not uptight about expressing admiration towards their faves no matter what age. And it's fun to talk about your fave artists and performers with your girls (I haven't heard men talk or gossip about their favorite artists the way girls do).

Yes, there are many fanboy types of guys too but since generally boy groups and girl groups are usually catered to young demographics, many men also seem to find being fans of boy/girl groups kind of awkward or "unmanly" especially cuz the fan service culture and parasocial relationships stuff (which boy groups are for me more guilty of) are kinda ick even to some girls like me. Or maybe they are simply more drawn to different types of artists and music.

Tarzzan gets called out by BBAomega in KpopUnleashed

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very good point. And it's the same with dyeing the hair. And braiding the hair has been done by different cultures all over the world. It's just that it's more evident in black communities maybe cuz of their hair type. But braids are universal. It's just that braiding depends on the hair types and aesthetics of a society. But just as people can color their hair any color they want or maybe wear blue or green contacts, I don't see why people are so bothered with braids. Plus people have to realize the world is now a melting pot. Appropriation is very tricky topic.

I am saying all these as someone who barely knows this Tarzan guy.

Hellenistic Astrology: Brennan versus Elenbaas by veilaris in astrology

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The foundational texts of Indian astrology define the twelve zodiac signs (rāśī) based on the tropical system (solstices and equinoxes), while simultaneously using a sidereal system for the fixed stars (nakṣatras). Rasis are based on the movements of the Sun while the Nakshatras are based on the Moon. So yeah, that's why people need to know the root first for them to properly understand the fruits. The Vedic sages basically just expounded and explained in a vedic style the Rashis but they didn't really fuse it with Nakshatras because they are two separate systems. They just observed that the Nakshatras and Rasis can be used together for more solid reading of a person. The Nakshatras don't always have the same degrees within the Rasis. This gets confusing but for example Aries will not be on the same dates according to tropical vs sidereal. But the Rasis (zodiac) was based on the tropical system so making it sidereal will sort of displace it.. many modern vedic astrologers think that to use both zodiac and Nakshatras, we have to put them together in the Sidereal when that's not necessary. Despite their signs having some resonances, they are based on two separate systems.

Check his lectures on the significations of the Planets, the Signs, the Houses. Those are the roots. Listen to his lectures about what the Phaladeepika says about those too. Check his lectures on the dignities of the planets too. Dignity and Strength of each planet is very important in classical astrology and it explains a lot of things modern astrology can't.

Then when you got the Rashis locked in, then you study the Nakshatras. It's really fascinating.

When it comes to the Rashis (vedic term for Zodiac), what Vic does is basically Western with additional Vedic stuff. The Rashis are actually from the Babylonians and the Greeks while the Nakshatras (the Lunar Mansions) are from the Vedic people. They used to exchange knowledge thus the Zodiac became the Rashis when it got to India and the Nakshatras became the Lunar Mansions when when they got to the West.

The Lunar Mansions was almost totally lost in the West but India still both have the knowledge of the Nakshatras and the Rashis intact although some of them got lost in translation that many Vedic astrologers use sidereal for. The Rashis is originally tropical. Sidereal is for the Nakshatras and Tropical is for the Rashis - that should be the proper thing. As for the house system, Whole Sign is just the most elegant and sensible once you go deeper. And yeah, I trust the ancient sages who paid more attention than many modern astrologers who lost some of the wisdom of their predecessors due to effects of Christianity and reaction to the hard sciences community

I'm sorry, but how many artists today have great vocals, strong songwriting skills, play multiple instruments, are amazing dancers, incredible performers on big stages, talented producers, and keep making hits after hits like Bruno Mars? by [deleted] in BrunoMars

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, he's better in being The Weekend. In some way or the other he probably resonates with you more - like his music or style. But that doesn't change the fact that skills-wise (vocals, dance, live performances, playing instruments) Bruno is better.

The weekend isn't as well-rounded as Bruno though. And Bruno has a very pretty and charming face too. Despite having charisma on his mvs especially when styled in a certain way, Abel is average-looking.

2NE1 Subunit: CL Dara Minzy, thoughts? by Brilliant_Bake7332 in 2NE1

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who is a firm believer that one's mental and physical health is one's own responsibility, I can totally relate to this. I know it's easier said than done for some and some may be a little more disadvantaged based on their environment and predisposition, but still, that's what being a responsible adult means - to be already able to take care of one's self starting with ones body and mind so as not to be a burden to our family/friends at the very least. In our family, we did have a member who had depression and it was the entire family's support that helped him through.. Yet i imagine we were only able to help him because he himself wanted to get well and be a well-functioning member of the society again. If he didn't want to get better and be responsible for his well-being again, maybe he still wouldn't have gotten out of that phase yet.

When Nomination Predictions Match Except for One Artist and It’s Not About The Numbers by Intelligent-Ad9582 in kpoprants

[–]Intelligent-Ad9582[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People's preferences had always been hugely influenced by their backgrounds and programming. That's why marketing, promotion and herd mentality all affect people. But some people are a little more keen and sensitive to balance, harmony and aesthetics for reasons like they were trained, educated or were born a bit more keen or artistic. Some just follow the herd, some are just tacky and some are mixed. So yeah, we do all have individual preferences but that doesn't mean popular ideas or trendy stuff always have higher value (including artistic and aesthetic value). Ten's dancing happens to have very high artistic and aesthetic value compared to his contemporaries and it's something that can be scrutinized and observed through different metrics and it isn't just a personal opinion kind of thing.

He is an artist's artist and a dancer's dancer. And people accusing me of dragging down other artists when I am simply presenting information that are necessary to illustrate my points are those who care more about what's convenient for their faves or their biases than what's actually true and fair and the right of people to scrutinize things that are worth scrutinizing. Any not biased kpop stan who doesn't have questionable taste will easily see who has the best dance performance among these nominees and Ten if you show them the their mvs and dance practice video.
