@QiaochuYuan Saw a study that found that the popular kids were the ones who liked the most people

@libramoongal Pisces Sun, Sagittarius Jupiter (conjunct Neptune) lol quite the ride

[Belle @belleadonia]

@HoratioLibra One of my favorite moods tbf

[Belle @belleadonia]

@Heliotrophy @HoratioLibra I agree with the conclusion - makes for a more complex person

[Belle @belleadonia]

@HoratioLibra @Heliotrophy I do not have the astro expertise to word it better lol - only Sun, Saturn, and Pluto stay in the same houses regardless of WSH or Placidus - while the others change houses in WSH which I found disconcerting after years of using Placidus. Writeup was reaffirming tho: use both!

[Belle @belleadonia]

@Heliotrophy @HoratioLibra I'd like to understand this better! All but three planets in my chart change houses in WSH, from Placidus, where the cusps range from 16 to 19 degrees of a sign. If the cusp's sign is so important, what does that say about the agency of 7 of the bodies? Are they weakened?

Pixun says they preserve the visible spectrum and near infrared portion of sunlight in the display, rather than generating narrow RGB peaks from LEDs

Real sunlight collected outdoors, piped through fiber optic cables and fed directly into the display

I have to say, this looks super cool.

[Belle @belleadonia]

@HoratioLibra Thank you. Lol getting a handle on the wallowing in the emotions!

[Belle @belleadonia]

@balefulrays Happy birthday!

If you want a deeper understanding of your unconscious habits and how to break free from them, try this exercise daily.

Backwards Review Exercise

Rudolf Steiner, widely considered one of the greatest minds of the 20th century, recommended mentally reviewing the events of your day in reverse order, starting from the present moment and moving back to the beginning of the day.

At the end of the day, sit quietly and mentally go back through everything that happened. Try to remember conversations, reactions, emotions, movements, and small details as clearly as possible. Some people do it before sleep, others in the morning so they stay more awake during the exercise.

A useful way to do it is backwards. Start from the present moment and move step by step toward the beginning of the day. This requires more attention because the mind cannot rely on automatic memory flow.

One of the most interesting parts of the exercise is seeing how the mind reacts to certain experiences. Small events often stay in our thoughts for hours without us understanding why. Someone says something irritating, looks at us a certain way, or reacts unexpectedly, and the moment keeps replaying in the mind long afterward.

Later, while reviewing the day calmly, it becomes easier to see what actually caused the reaction. Usually it is not only the event itself, but identification with some image, expectation, insecurity, or habit.

For example, imagine making a joke you personally find harmless, but the other person becomes offended. Even after apologizing, the interaction keeps replaying in your head. During the review you may suddenly realize the discomfort came from wanting approval or from disliking being misunderstood. Without reflection, these patterns usually remain unconscious.

This exercise slowly reveals how mechanical many reactions are. You begin noticing recurring emotional patterns, roles you play, and thoughts that repeat automatically. Some people discover they are constantly trying to appear intelligent, helpful, spiritual, funny, or important without realizing it. The moment that image is threatened, emotion appears immediately.

Neville Goddard later expanded on a similar idea through what he called revision. While mentally replaying the day, if you come across an unpleasant event, you consciously reimagine it the way you would have preferred it to happen. Instead of reliving the event exactly as it occurred, you replace it in imagination with the desired version and fully experience it that way.

At first many people think revision means making reality only slightly better. But the idea is to imagine the experience exactly as you wanted it to happen, not just a small improvement of the original event.

The most difficult part of all these exercises is keeping attention from wandering. The mind naturally moves from one association to another automatically. You begin reviewing your day and suddenly find yourself thinking about something completely unrelated. The practice makes it very clear how little control most people actually have over their own thinking.

With consistency, however, memory improves, concentration becomes stronger, and awareness of yourself deepens naturally.

@balefulrays Yes, you were right. I look forward to more!

@dear_mortal couldn't resist - I lived in the OC for 15 years so it was extra funny to me to type it out like so (disclaimer: only watched a few episodes)
