@feralvenefica @rowanandsage@OracularJake For whatever it's worth, matrilineal ancestry is sometimes referred to as the "distaff side," the distaff being the tool that holds the unspun fibers that feed onto the spindle.
If you've ever lived somewhere with an economy that's heavily dependent on tourism, you already know what the locals mean when they talk about "the season."
Any time of year that isn't "the season" is "the off-season." It's a similarly economic demarcation of time.
Lately I wonder whether the contemporary idea of zodiacal "seasons" isn't somehow an extension of consumer capitalist temporality.
We talk about "the holiday season" and "back-to-school season," and sometimes it seems like "Aries season" etc. segments time in a similar manner.
It's wild to have witnessed how, over the course of the last several years, the idea of zodiacal "seasons" (e.g. "Taurus season" etc.) has gained such sway in popular astrological discourse— and especially how they're construed as favorable for sign-specific actions & behaviors.
I've posted this elsewhere before, but it bears repeating:
domicile: prefers to host
exaltation: must host
detriment: can't host
fall: hotel host
peregrine: public only
