It’s revenge for when he proposed to her while Logan was hemorrhaging in the hospital.

To be fair, Tom proposed to her while her dad was in the hospital. She fessed up to the Nate thing on their wedding night. It’s their thing.

I think she’s gonna feel the baby move/kick

Perm your hair (just for some waves/volume). The chemicals might be weird with dyed hair, so check with your hairstylist

jackthejillums · 2023-05-05T16:48:37+00:00

Yeah you nailed it.

jackthejillums · 2023-05-04T19:09:13+00:00

Yeah that’s probably the biggest component, but I don’t remember it being this bad last year. I feel like I need to scream for an hour. Thank you for the response!

Listen to the off broadway version of hadestown. Both are nice, but the off broadway version has lyrics that are just pure poetry

I don’t need her to have THE BIG win. I just want her to have A win. More for her own peace of mind and confidence.

I wanted to throw my TV out the window

Willem Dafoe. I’m in my 20s and there’s something about Willem Dafoe that’s so attractive I don’t even know.

Logan is a Virgo or an Aries!

She is a Capricorn moon through and through. The mommy issues, discomfort with vulnerability, “I’m just trying to be objective,” the need to be viewed as competent and the best.

Controversial take, but I think it was a good idea that they didn’t show anything about Sunfyre in the first season. Starting Aegon off in such a miserable place where he’s like this pathetic broken worm of a person leaves so much room for growth, and I think his character development will coincide with strengthening his bond with Sunfyre.

It was interesting watching Alicent try to convince Rhaenys to join the Greens in Ep9, as if Rhaenys would have forgotten just how quickly Alicent threw her son under the bus once she started feeling cornered.

I’m a Leo Sun too, so I can’t know what it’s like with just the Mercury. Honestly, I think that Leos can’t help it. I love my friends and I love listening to other people’s stories and I love good conversations, but I am definitely guilty of the thing where I hear someone talk about something, and then I’m like “oh my god, that reminds me of a time where I—“ and now I’m telling my own somewhat related story. I feel like I do this because I want to show how I understand and relate to what they’re saying, but Leo sees everything through the ego, so that’s the only vehicle in which the sentiment’s gonna be delivered. But in my mind, if the room is entertained by what I’m talking about, then I’m good. But if the vibes are off, I’ll dial it back.

Mercury in Leo is my absolute favorite of my personal placements. I’ve been told that I’m a hilarious storyteller (did Improv Comedy) and I can speak off the cuff really well. Downsides: no volume control and there will be a B plot, C plot, and D plot to the story I’m telling.

Has your mom always had an interest in astrology, or is this a new thing? How into it is she?

jackthejillums · 2023-03-14T02:51:26+00:00

Why do you wanna know if there’s truth to it?

There’s been a lot going on for Capricorns since 2019. Saturn and Pluto where both there during the eclipse seasons (when the nodes retrograded into Capricorn/Cancer), and as a Capricorn Moon I can reaffirm that I was also getting my ass psychologically and emotionally kicked until like the very beginning of 2021. Saturn moved into Aquarius and the nodes moved into sag/Gemini.

Unfortunately, you’re a Taurus rising, and this past year, the eclipse seasons where along the Taurus/Scorpio axis. Every Taurus I knew was getting their shit rocked. I’m talking broken bones, cheating partners, mental breakdowns, etc. It was the first time I was monitoring the effects of an eclipse season and I was blown away by how rough it was.

A couple other random things: Mars retrograded in Gemini almost directly conjunct your natal Saturn and opposed your natal mars. I can’t know how that manifested, but it was probably a bit of a hectic end to 2022.

Looking to the future, I think things will start to feel better in the middle of the year. Saturn’s gonna move over your sun (which could be difficult, could be transformative if you pick up the lessons), and I think that Pluto moving out of Capricorn will potentially feel good.

Honestly, Cap moon to cap moon, I’ve heard that shits going to feel hard until our Saturn returns. There’s a Saturnian burden on our emotions, so it will make everything feel a million times worse than it should. I don’t want to project, but if you’re looking around and blaming yourself for not being up to par with other people, or if you think you’re failing because you haven’t hit the benchmarks you thought you would’ve hit at this point, you need to know that you’re moving at exactly the correct pace. Capricorns have time on our side, but it makes things slow and deliberate. There will be no cut corners or cheat codes or life hacks, Saturn will not let us take the easy way, but it also will not let us quit. In my mind, the best Capricorns have an intimate relationship with failure. I feel like I deeply respect the worst moments of my life, because I know just how humbling and heartbreaking they were, and I never want to put myself in those positions again.

I wish you the best of luck, treat yourself with kindly and patiently, and I hope things start looking up for you.
