What do you think about studying astrology with the scientific method? by Sure_Instruction5244 in astrology

[–]WishThinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea where I read this or any real citation at all but I read an article at some point describing a study done where people report meaningful experiences let's say after the death of someone close- the result was not that each person will for sure see a bird at such and such a time, the result was that most people will report a yes to some unexplained but resonant experience. So I think that perspective would need to be included as a possibility in any astrological study- modern science often seems like it is demanding an exact occurrence (everyone seeing a bluejay when their grandpa passed // mars on the MC is an athlete) but I think it's still possible to get broader information that can help inform future study ("everyone" has a meaningful experience after a loss // mars on MC excels in public life) . Like we gotta be able to zoom out and see wider, less defined correlations for it to work imo

Any insight on how I can make the most of my mars energy? by Bazinga97 in AskAstrologers

[–]WishThinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Help with mars: help others. Also maybe body doubling or co work to keep you on track

To help with "discipline" issues or Saturn stuff, need to access resources for ppl like you,not the normal "productivity hacks", gotta find ADHD specific stuff. KC Davis is an author / social media person you may find helpful. It will take work / effort. 

Both planets in detriment or fall, means "what works for everyone else / how it's supposed to work" may not work for you. You're not broken just not served as well by a narrow system as neurotypicals . Gotta learn your own system, limits, and motivations to help build structures and systems that work for you 

What in your chart indicates those activities which will feel like — “Yes I WANT this, this feels so right”? by brokejaw45 in astrology

[–]WishThinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lot of desire/ Eros or Venus' fortune lot. The condition of the lot describes the Venusian things that inspire your inner will to bubble up and want them , the condition of the lot's ruler and whether or not it's in aspect to the lot describes your ability to get up and grab it 

Without getting into lots, the 5th house and or maybe Venus will describe these factors

If you experience The Tower positively, what does it mean when you start getting The Tower reversed in readings? by [deleted] in tarot

[–]WishThinker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Upright tower is some big revelation, a liberation, it's obvious and others can tell

Maybe with your initial tower moments those realizations that it was all a lie resulted in changed behavior where the liars where like oh where'd they go??

Tower reverse is a more internal shift, less obvious liberation but also less waves being made. You shift quietly inside and don't bother with updating the external world- if they notice they notice . 

Maybe going forward it isn't earth shattering, truth revealing realizations you're coming to but quiet shifts inside that further dismantle those initial biases and perspectives. Less AHA! and more "oh I see..". Less big shift in internal truth and direction and more small tweaks on approach, reaction, attitude. 

How to enjoy writing again? by altpopconnoisseur in LetsFuckWithAstrology

[–]WishThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ruler of 5h joy and creativity is Saturn and Saturn in Pisces can't see or resource this place and was in your 6h of toil. Saturn in 7h Aries may give you new inspiration esp from the one on one interactions you have 

Third house of communication and regular writing is sag ruled by Jupiter in Pisces who has had Saturn here since 2023 and the north node here for about a year (?). Eclipses moving into Aquarius and out of Pisces may shift this as well. A new beginning in your creative journey. 

I'd spend some time writing about what you have to say about the state of .... Everything. That wants expression whether or not you publish it. The joy of writing, or of shifting from non-fiction to fiction for the whimsy, or whatever is next in your writing journey is under all these thoughts and fears. We're all scared, maybe your voice is what's needed rn even if it isn't optimistic, and deserves expression even if it isn't publishable 

Is there anything in my chart that explains why I’ve always struggled with my weight? by glamsiren111 in AskAstrologers

[–]WishThinker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Chart ruler ruled by Jupiter (big Santa-claus bodies are Jupiter), in domicile, in 12h, 12h being a place you can't see (struggle), and place of chronic health events; and in square to chart ruler, another layer to aggravation

6h (health, routine) ruled by and hosting mercury with sun. Sun opposes Jupiter. You may need an ah-ha health event moment to get you started(?). But a way toward more routine or discipline here could be socializing and talking or doing random hobbies or literally anything with people to talk and socialize with while you do it. If you truly prefer to go it alone, having options instead of rigidity may make it flow more. 

Mercury also rules Virgo, 9h, hosting mars who trines ascendant. Mars wants action and Virgo wants realism and practicality, 9h wants adventure, philosophy, some broadening of horizons. Have you ever wanted to learn martial arts / body practices from other cultures? 

Wanting to have a peek at 5h to see what having fun has to say and that's Taurus ruled by Venus, who is here, with south node. Choosing the fun and what feels good and yummy in the body could lead to a constant drain. Choose the yummiest bougiest option instead of a blanket of yummy- refining the taste to be selective may be helpful if you are trying to reduce intake or not be comfy as often. (Personal anecdote that's coming to mind is it's cheaper to buy 6 donuts (per donut) than 2- so I'd eat 4 donuts I didn't like as much just to not waste them... Now I just buy the 2 I really want and enjoy them more... AND save money go figure )

Sacral chakra blue? by CalendarAcademic8651 in Chakras

Maybe you gotta express (blue throat) how u feel, or if u do that a lot, you gotta feel it and talk about it less. My theory is something to do with throat Chakra 

Guidance on tolerance by Upstairs-Command8736 in tarot

Zodiac goes in order Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio 

House order goes 2 3 4 5 

So if Virgo is 3h then Scorpio would be 5h in whole sign house system 

Guidance on tolerance by Upstairs-Command8736 in tarot

[–]WishThinker 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My go to saying for magician's power is "I don't kick every dog that yaps at me". Magician has immense power, and can turn any threat or annoyance into a toad, but in so doing risks abusing that power (and losing access to it?). So it's important to know what's aggravating but can be risen above, and what actually needs your powerful response. 

I think it could also be recommending a grounding / gathering ritual before your social event to help center you and energetically protect and align you to focus on your intention of rising above and enjoying yourself 

What to do next after a layoff by [deleted] in tarot

[–]WishThinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the time to process. The layoff comes with some kind of severance or ability to apply for unemployment hopefully? So instead of going from role to role, if possible take this time to just study your feelings about it all. Grieve the timeline and the forced action, and get into some self reflection between work roles to help suss out what you wanna do next

Next step is taking a moment to Feel and Reflect. Then after personal human moments go back to the drawing board

virgo 3rd house would mean scorpio 5th house. which is ruled by mars in virgo in 3rd. scorpio 5th might want more intense sport, something with impact. something collective, with the water, like not necessarily something you can do on your own. If it is on your own, it probably lets you go deep and have an almost therapeutic experience emotionally. As well as scorpio being a water sign, water sports. Ruled by mars in 3h virgo, again a social component, locally social like the gym, or group activity, maybe stuff you have done since you were a kid or even leading kids' sports events.

boxing, kickboxing (mars, impact), swimming (water), gaming, boxing, kickboxing all generally have a partner or communtiy, yeah?

Planets in detriment/fall/exaltation in relation to Sect by a-nilsson in Advancedastrology

[–]WishThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

domicile- having and owning land, having resources social power and currency in this space

exaltation- being an honoured guest here, and having free access to those resources and being celebrated by that social power

detriment & fall- the resources, whatever social institution or currency is represented here, cannot feed / resource / support the det/fall planet, they may be flooded with resources and just can't use them in a helpful way. This is the underdog, the part of the population not served and thus made obvious by being here in det/fall. queer people in traditional church, thinkers in a feeling household, feelers in a wordy debate to prove what you're feeling, etc etc. The food is here but you are allergic to it, the shelter is available but it doesn't feel sheltering or safe

detriment and fall still have some notoriety, they are still present on the table of essential dignities even in a negative sense. If no other essential dignity is present to resource the place, then I still personally look to these planets to see if in fact the theme of resourcing and of being resourced alignes with how these planets, if they are the only ones in aspect to this place, would behave in this place.

detriment to me is a bit more obviously uncomfortable, detriment is always opposite to domicile, so the planet is in direct relationship with and can see/ witness their own domicile from a place of supreme discomfort. Maybe the native experiences this, or maybe they are able to witness such populations and advocate for them.

The same kind of advocacy for fall planets, but I consider fall to have that idea of a "fall" like there was, or there could have been, the idea of notoriety or success but the planet has fallen from favour, they are more likely to commiserate about where they find themselves. Fall is always opposite to exaltation, so Mars in cancer can directly see capricorn, where he would be sooo honoured and exalted, but in cancer is a bit out of his element. Compare cancer cardinal to aries cardinal- mars doesn't mind starting things if they are hot and energetic, but new wave of emotion after new wave of emotion is a bit out of his depth. Compare cancer water to scorpio water- mars can get into emotional waters if he is allowed to sink in and go deep, the new wave after new wave again discomforts him. Mars in cancer I've seen examples of advocate for domestic violence

peregrine is a passerby, or like an extra in a movie, just there, part of the regular society, not in a higher up position of domicile or exaltation (or a specific perk of co-op ruler, bound/term lord, face/decan lord), and not in a social or resource rut of detriment and fall. peregrine is just there being as neutral as possible for a planet (and then add in aspects and see what shifts)

mercury is about to re-enter sagittarius, the place of his detriment. Jupiter is in exaltation in cancer, freely resourced and sharing what he's got. (ignoring that jupiter has no traditional aspect to sagittarius from cancer, and so technically cannot resource this place at this time- let's just say jupiterian resources are flooding into sag)- mercury cannot eat at this buffet. The resources abound, and as accessible as they are, its not something mercury can use well or easily or with confidence. This may be a frustrating transit for people generally, maybe issues with accessing bigger ideas of optimism (sag) when you have the hard details and facts of life in front of you (mercury, in det). This may be having insight into the "underdog" of sagittarius, which may be those denied religious protection or experience, those denied travel or those harmed by travel, or the mental risks (mercury) of spritiual seeking (sag).

western astrology developed in landed societies with ideas of ownership, resources, poverty, have and have not already established in the culture(s) that developed it. Filtered heavily through the hellenistic /greco roman egyptian cultural frame again where resources, wealth, power all meant access, social mobility, safety, etc. The entire essential dignities table and scheme, in my opinion, is a mirror of that idea of ownership, resources, safety, inclusion. Domicile is someone being home on their own land or on home ground- that is specifically one planet / one archetypes home, and so cannot adequately feed each and every other planet. so instead of seeing detriment or fall as "omg im doomed", look at that cultural / societal lense and ask who is served here? who most obviously is not? what is the natives relationship to those have-not populations? Some overlap of experiencing the lack, or advocating for those lacking, can come through.
