@NovaLunaReads well that certainly tracks with the cycle...

Such an honor to chat with Kira and Chloe about the royal star Antares! It will always feel like there's so much more to say, but do check it out if you have the time :)

[kira 🕊 @kirastrology]

if you have placements around 10° of Sagittarius then your story is connected to Antares, a royal fixed star who brings success through overcoming adversity, a never-ending well of passion, and a motivation to understand the underbelly of the world we live in

[ione @iynxwheel]

finally here 🙏🏻

@moonsentinelxv I know nodal dignity is included in Ptolemy's table of signs and their essential dignity, unsure if that came in a later manuscript or is original in its form. Personally I find the nodes such a different spirit, these concepts need not but probably can somewhat apply.

[ione @iynxwheel]

if this deep foray into lots has solidified anything for me it's that seemingly random or even "incorrect" results so often bear the same essential message

[ione @iynxwheel]

@LiamSofias ahhh so glad you’re okay! hope things are settling back down and you’re able to take extra care 💗

Knew Chapell Roan was a night chart when she said "everything good happens after midnight"

@_debaucheeofdew “the concept of delayed gratification is hitting him and he’s getting mad” took me out

[shuly 🌙 שולי @itztagninut]

i’ve been thinking a lot

we spend a LOT of time in our scene talking about sources and ancient texts but i want to spend more time discussing translation theory bc i think it would help us a lot

a translation is not a 1:1 correspondence between two texts

[Chloe Margherita @psychic_nonna]

if this mars-jupiter conjunction is feeling extra bad:

This is how the Orphic Hymns to Mars read

The massive issue with people’s perception of astrology is that they prioritise it as a prediction-based divinatory tool over a language embedded with philosophy, structure and nature.

[Polaris @polaris_astro]

«First, it is important to recall that the origin of astrological symbolism comes from an essentially agricultural context, not from a judgment about individual morality. thus, the terms malefic and benefic are essentially functional.»

the second essay introducing my take on the lunar stations dropped this morning 😎

today we’re talking about some of the sources that most inform my study

(i promise i wrote and scheduled this a month ago before citations were the theme du jour on here!)

[michel @libramoongal]

all you can really do is approach astrology earnestly, with integrity, and with curiosity. if so, your people will find you. if you are honest about your love for this art, it will show.
