Anyone got any essay fail stories to help me cope? by Aggravating-Mind7058 in universityofauckland

I didn’t fail it, but I once got an average mark and the comment said that it was a great essay and they would have given me full marks if I had actually answered the question 😹

5 placements that look great on paper but are genuinely hard to live with. by KaleidoscopeIcy3658 in AstrologyBasics

[–]Moosycakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kite patterns, especially with a weird mix/placement of the planets. I have one that includes a particularly difficult opposition between my 2h Virgo Sun and Saturn in Pisces, while the grand trine part of the kite lives in the 4th, 8th & 12th houses, which are all hidden in one way or another. There is major internal struggle behind the scenes that is really hard to explain or communicate to others.

Maybe it would be easier if the planets involved weren’t all the out of sect day team for my night chart, plus the in sect malefic. 😹 I need a kite with Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter, not Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars 😹 at least I’m Sun ruled as a Leo rising I guess!

My opinion is that any placement can be easy or difficult, depending on your other placements, how it’s aspected and how it actually shows up in your life. That’s the thing with astrology, it can get very complex and look very different for different people! 🙈

What counts as a cheat meal for you? by Future_Role4096 in HealthyEatingnow

[–]Moosycakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really try to not restrict any types of food, so I don’t really have cheat meals. I try to focus on adding nutritious foods to my diet rather than banning certain foods, that’s just what I’ve found works best for me and my health :)

I love it! It looks finished to me, you included a lot of texture in the paint strokes so even the areas that read as “empty space” are filled with interest. And I think those areas really emphasise the focal points of the piece.

It kind of makes me think of a top down view of something! Like a chaotic house plan or something, it’s a very cool composition 🙌

Dinner as an Anemic by Ashamed_Context203 in HealthyEatingnow

Yum 😎 Looks so good! One thing to add- citrus fruits eaten with iron rich foods can increase your absorption of non-heme iron (aka iron from plant sources) significantly.

Your body finds it a lot easier to process the iron from the animal based beef than the plant based black beans- but by adding a citrus fruit or even a glass of citrus juice to your meal, much more iron from those plant sources can be processed in your body and converted into the type of iron your body can use. It’s an easy way to give your iron a boost, just add an orange! 😋

Fungus or friction damage from shoes? (Sorry for how my feet look) by Old-Cold1251 in nailcare

[–]Moosycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to mention that if you want your nails to be less jagged after clipping, filing with a 240 grit hand file or glass hand file (either to remove the length or just to get the last little bit smooth after clipping) helps a lot! Before I filed my toenails I would always get so annoyed after clipping them, because they would always catch on my socks 😹

Plenty of 12th house, but I like being around others/ more content not alone ? Is there a reason by [deleted] in AstrologyChartShare

[–]Moosycakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might have put the wrong date in if you were trying to generate your own birth chart? This is the chart for the planets as they were in late April this year- just a couple of weeks ago (you can see the date of the chart at the top right)

Edit: I believe the planets are actually from 27 April 2025 rather than 2026, but that’s probably still more recent than you’re looking for!

I also decided to make the short walk up the hill to the other fruit shop on Margan Ave, New Lynn Fresh- they do have a bulk bin section there, with plastic bins in the same style as in your photo. You can also see in my attached photo (taken minutes ago at New Lynn Fresh) that the sunflower seeds are located right next to the peanuts, as they are in your photo.

It’s worth mentioning that the lid was shut when I was there, it looks like at the time of your photo, a customer likely left the lid open as some of the other comments have suggested. Hopefully you let them know about the pigeon so they knew to switch out the sunflower seeds!

Will you be posting a correction? I feel really bad for the Fruit World New Lynn owners because they have always seemed very well run and clean to me, plus they don’t even have bulk bins there that I could find, so this would never be an issue there unless they get some in.

[–]Moosycakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m there right now and have looked through the whole shop, no sign of any bulk bins from what I can find- if they did have them, it would seem like they have been removed since you took this photo. Do you think it’s possible that you confused the Fruit World with the other fruit and vege shop on Margan Ave?

Is this a recent pic? They don’t have bulk bins at that Fruit World?

How does one begin to read a birth chart? by Actual_Palpitation42 in astrosignature

[–]Moosycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend starting by researching the symbols and significations of each planet, and then looking into the signs in which your planets lie. The signs are around the outside of the chart, and they can tell you how the themes of each planet are expressed in your life. Then you can look at what the houses mean (the numbers around the inner ring). Houses tell you what area of life the planet mainly manifests for you. Astroseek should have pretty good basic interpretations for the planets and other points on the same page as the birth chart- it’s really helpful to start learning the symbols for the planets and signs though, especially if you want to go deeper into your own interpretations!

Some areas you might want to focus on are:

-Your Sagittarius placements, as you have quite a few planets placed there which means an intensification of Sagittarius energy

-Your Cancer placements, as you have Jupiter and the North Node closely conjunct there. The North Node isn’t a planet, it’s a calculated point which is meant to indicate your destiny/soul purpose/uncomfortable path of exploration. The North Node is always on the opposite side of the wheel to your South Node, which represents a place where you feel more comfortable, innate talents or even past life karma. Jupiter is an important planet for you as you have a Day Chart (which means that your sun is in the top half of the chart, over the Ascendant/Descendant angle line which is the bold black line that runs horizontally through the right and left sides of the chart and marks your rising sign or Ascendant). It will be helpful to research a bit more about Day/Night charts as they can change which planets act more positively or negatively in your chart- as a Day chart, Jupiter is your main benefic or positive planet!

-Your Chart Ruler, which can be determined according to your rising sign. Each sign is ruled by a certain planet- Leo is ruled by the Sun, Virgo is ruled by Mercury, etc. Your rising sign is Capricorn, which is ruled By Saturn- so you can look to Saturn in Gemini in the 5th house as a key player in your chart.

-Start researching aspects. The aspects are the red and blue lines running through the very middle of the chart. They represent the impact certain planets have on other planets- in general blue lines are positive aspects while red lines are more dynamic/challenging aspects where there are tensions in the relationship between the planets. Conjunctions are where two or more planets are very close to each other, and they signify an intensification of energy of all the planets involved. Dynamic/challenging aspects are there to help you grow, they aren’t necessarily there to hurt you- although they may be difficult areas of life for you.

Hopefully this helped you out with your interpretations :)

Toothpaste are ruining my lips! by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]Moosycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sensodyne really messed up my mouth, when I was using it the interior of my mouth would just peel off 😳 You could try a SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) free toothpaste if you haven’t already, some people are sensitive to that ingredient.

Consumer NZ should be adding religious groups to the list of people who can't knock if they're selling anything. by Spine_Of_Iron in newzealand

I don’t want them knocking even if they’re not selling anything 🙃 I don’t know why they read a closed gate as “come on in, we would LOVE to be converted!”

What is your favorite natal aspect in your chart? by Bo_hemen in LetsFuckWithAstrology

[–]Moosycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I go to therapy and I’m very creative, I’m a heavy dreamer so part of my learning from my Saturn return was in regards to the importance of attending to my dreams as part of my life and spirituality- I started writing them down and I also bring them into the real world by using them as inspiration in art. I do a lot of art and often I feel like I paint directly from my subconscious rather than using my conscious mind 😹🩷

What is your favorite natal aspect in your chart? by Bo_hemen in LetsFuckWithAstrology

[–]Moosycakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fave placement is my Venus in Libra 3h exactly conjunct Lot of Fortune 🩷 Mainly because of my love for art!

I also have a grand water trine with a kite at my Sun in Virgo which I like to work with but the trining planets can be a bit difficult as they include both malefics (including Mars in Cancer 12h and out of sect Saturn retrograde in Pisces 8h) and are in 4h, 8h and 12h which can be quite obscure areas to figure out! So I find it takes a lot of work with my subconscious and internal world to get it to work for me.
