@JoshuaDKaye_ I imagine we might also think about the fall as metaphorical too? As in a solar figure, a beloved teacher (my colleague) falls from grace after being caught grooming a student; the collective transmission of the fall; the grief and pressure points. It’s been a hell of a week 😢

@JoshuaDKaye_ Moons that is! We have Aquarian moons 😊.

@JoshuaDKaye_ My mother had it in the first and definitely fought addiction. I have it in the third and it is my fav placement, though I struggle with allowing my emotions to express (Aqua wants them to make sense).

@wetneptune My daughter has sun and Neptune conjunct in Aquarius and she is the funniest (and wittiest) person I know!

Sun ☉ in Houses

1st House Sun

Dominant presence, prideful, self-assured, attention-seeking, warm but self-centered, dramatic personality, constant need to be “right,” visible wherever they go, strong ego defenses, quick to take offense, natural performer, identity tied to competence, hates being ignored, competitive confidence.

The shape of your pollinator garden matters more than its size.

Most native bees have small foraging ranges. Peer-reviewed research on solitary bees found female flight distances of just 73 to 121 meters from the nest. A small bee born in your neighbor's yard might not reliably reach a flower patch in the middle of your yard if there's a length of mowed grass between them.

What works is linear pollinator habitat. A strip along a fence line, a corridor along the driveway, or a narrow band of natives running the full length of the property is best.

A 2018 study in the journal Ecography found that the length of linear semi-natural habitat was the single strongest predictor of wild bee species richness and connectivity in agricultural landscapes. Bees track edges.

A 2-foot-wide strip running 50 feet does more ecological work than a 10x10 island in the middle of the lawn. The strip gives pollinators a route to follow, something that guides their movement across the landscape.

The effect multiplies when your neighbors do the same. A strip along your fence meets a strip along theirs, and so on.

@PaulMarcoe All you need is a chimney made of soft stucco and they will drill on it to claim territory 😅. I ended up with a flicker in my upstairs bedroom. While they are a nuisance I agree that they are lovely!

@wetneptune Spot on, sarah! This has been the most pressurized week I have felt in a long time. The people, the deadlines, the project that gave me a panic attack—I lost my shite on Thursday and luckily had the house to myself so that I could scream and slam doors. So STUCK!!

Pluto square Mars and we see two tanks of corrosive material either implode (with fatalities in Longview, WA) or expand to the point of explosion and evacuation of residents (near Long Beach, CA).

@luvvkgx @ObservAstrology And husband’s is Cancer —that is the key component.

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@Genthe10 @ObservAstrology Love that! My husband has a Cancer moon, so I have a feeling when the other person has that synastry with you, it changes up the scenario.

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@luvvkgx @ObservAstrology Aquarius!

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

@wetneptune 😂

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@wetneptune Oh no!! Sag rising gang we need to put in some protections. So sorry this happened to you, sarah!

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@chrisbrennan7 Wow! 🤯

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@empressatlantis Husband and I have been married for 27 yrs, together over 30. We have stelliums in each others’ 12Hs. So his sun, mercury and Neptune conj my Neptune are in my 12h. My sun, mercury, mars are in his. We light up each others’ 12H! Hasn’t been easy, but it has been totally worth it.

[christine traxler @t_fiddler]

@wetneptune Haha it was the best thing I ever did 22 yrs ago to the date 🥰
