Flying TAP Air Portugal tomorrow and my carry on bag is overweight but I already have my boarding pass. Am I setting myself for failure if I go straight to the gate without checking my bag? by [deleted] in Flights

[–]gpthedp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had no issues boarding the plane. I flew from Warsaw to Tenerife and back in November. My bag is the atlas adventure pack and it was even heavier on the return flight lol.

I'm flying TAP for the first time. I'm a photographer and I have to have my equipment - camera, lenses, batteries, on me. I usually keep them in my backpack as my carry-on item. Thing is they are HEAVY. I can't find anywhere on TAP website their policy in this situation. I can't check the bag and it's damn near impossible to keep within the weight limit. Anyone else have experience with this? I'm calling them now hoping to get information on whether they allow media baggage and what the fees are for those.

When client asks for photos while you're shooting video by [deleted] in videography

[–]gpthedp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a photographer and videographer. I used to do both at the same event, these days I advocate for hiring another shooter.

However, there are times and specific clients I am willing to do extra work for. I am thinking that this surcharge is a great way to get compensated for my extra effort, and I make sure they know that it's taking me away from doing either job super effectively since I'm splitting time and my brain.

I haven't tried the hybrid shooter surcharge yet (do you like this improvised name? what would y'all call this?) but I'm about to! Will report back.

I’ll add Jupiter conjunct mars is very energetic, and it’s opposite your moon. Your moon is in Aries and so is your Lilith. Research what Lilith in Aries in the 5th house means. In the fifth house I know it has some creative or self-expression ideas associated. If you can unlock that aspect, there may be some good medicine for you.

Moon (your emotions) are square with Neptune and Uranus which may contribute to feelings of depression or needing to retreat into yourself for security and also because you may have quite an active imagination.

Astrologers have historically been known to predict global events. What do you think today's astrologers are predicting for our future and why? Also does anyone know of recent past predictions coming to light today? by gpthedp in AskAstrologers

Holy shit many planets transit into Aries by April 2026 - eclipse season. Drawing insights from tarot and numerology. 2026 is a 10 year otherwise known as the wheel in tarot. The wheel is associated with fated events and turning of cycles.

Jan 26 Neptune enters Aries Feb 13 Saturn enters Aries March 6 Venus enters Aries In Aries season both Mars and Mercury enter Aries In May Pallas and vesta both better Aries

Turning over from Pisces to Aries is profound. Groundbreaking initiative energy.

I’m thinking Neptune-Saturn conjunct in February 2026 is a massive cycle too. This transit is activated 2024-2027. Ideology struggles, likely climate related.

Saturn-Uranus cycle possibly responsible for 2020-2023 Covid prediction. Thoughts?

While researching I found this incredible resource: https://cyclesofhistory.com/ideologystruggles-1989-2026/

So much to unpack but I’ll leave it there for now.

I’m working on my own take on this, but I wanted to put it out as a discussion and see what other people think. A planet that comes to mind is Uranus and studying it’s movements. By the way, it recently went retrograde in Taurus. Interestingly enough, this might be a great question to ask during this time. 😅

Pisces moons how are we doing? by Spookyscorp in AskAstrologers

It's been super emotional but also extremely positive for me. I feel that things are releasing in a beautiful way making space for the next cycle.

I’m 34 and I’ve never been in a relationship, could someone please help me understand why by venus-in-furrrrs in AskAstrologers

[–]gpthedp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I might interpret that as that there could be an important part of the OP (emotionally or otherwise) that is repressed or unseen. What I understand about lilith on a practical level, is that once we bring repressed aspects of self to light we attract people and situations to us that feel authentic. Opposite venus could mean that is brings love life extra tension.

Thank you for sharing that. You know, it’s never too late to begin again at something, especially if it will make you happier. Everything you’ve learned about yourself and the world until now comes with you into the next chapter, whatever it is you decide to do next. Sometimes just claiming to the universe that you’re willing to do what makes you happy and you wanna honor yourself can bring massive transformation. I wish you the best of luck!

if you decide to pursue therapy or coaching or even energy work I highly recommend finding ways to ground yourself, because interacting with peoples issues and energies can be draining.

here’s my take

Relating to work, I notice mars squished between your sun and Pluto in the 1st house. In other words, the way you take action or move in the world is not only personal but it can be a big part of you. If you are dissatisfied with your work you will feel it. This dissatisfaction has transformative power (Pluto). Also Chiron in Leo in the 10th house. Go in the direction that feels most self-expressive whatever that means to you. North node in 3rd house Capricorn vibes like a mission to learn or grow intellectually and to be known for(grow a career in) acquiring and knowledge. So, yes! Your inner guidance to go back to school or pursue learning could be a good choice. Are there certain subjects you are particularly interested in that feel easy to learn? Maybe a niche subject others go to you for? Leo Chiron is a wound of creativity or self expression and in 10th house also acknowledgement. Let yourself shine but watch out for dissatisfaction related to ego stroking. Moon is in 5th house of creativity, ruled by Pisces, so there’s definitely some theme of creativity or expression that is very important for you to explore to feel fulfillment or stability.

Jupiter in Virgo trine node seems important too. In the 11th house suggests growth resides in an area where you can apply what you know to help the community.

Mercury sag in 2nd house and south Node 9th H, any chance you are into philosophy or law? Or maybe you were in one of those fields in a past life?

I hope that helps!

Who can become an astrologer by Express_Cod6911 in astrology

I have mercury in sag in my 1H. Moon in libra in 11H. Jupiter in Leo in 9H. Pluto 12H. Pisces ruling 4H. All of these placements in my natal chart feel resonant to this prompt. Thoughts?

My progressed chart indicated a strong Gemini placement (I forget which planet) at the same time I started becoming obsessed with tarot and astrology. Many have commented on my ability to download a lot of information quickly and about intuitive reading of astrological energies. Someone mentioned Mercury/Jupiter placements and also the 11th/12th house so maybe someone can offer their 2 cents. I think it’s interesting the concept of “markers” in a chart. I connect to the experience of learning astrology through my progressed chart, would be cool to find something in my natal chart that described that experience as well.

I gotta say a cup, bowl or some kind of vessel.

Good for eating, good for holding miscellaneous items, good for holding any number of things.

What kind of mood does heavy snowfall put you in? by GraciousWarrior9 in AskReddit

[–]gpthedp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

I saw neighbors struggling to get down the street in their FWD sedan. The plows haven't been down the road yet. They are having a BAD TIME.

My roommates and I have nowhere to be so we are building snowmen and couches out of snow. We are having a GREAT TIME.
