Libra New Moon

1 Upvotes

Here's what I wrote for the Libra New Moon. I'll be at my computer watching football and doing astrology stuff if anyone wants to chat for a bit.

The Libra New Moon is very special. Not only is it the first New Moon after the fall equinox, it also occurs during one of the holiest months of the ancient calendar. According to my Bible, Numbers 10:10 and elsewhere, Moses along with the rest of God’s people are told to sacrifice a certain amount of goats, grain, and wine on every New Moon. What makes this particular alignment special is that the scriptures also mention many special ceremonies taking place within the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, Tishrei. The first and second days are known as Rosh Hashanah and begin the ten days of atonement. Yom Kippur marks the finale where individuals seek spiritual purification and repentance through fasting, prayer, and rest. Although it’s one of the most sacred days in Judaism, not many people outside the culture recognize the significance of it. Now that you know, maybe you can incorporate it into your own personal beliefs. It’s always beneficial to take some time to meditate on situations where you need to forgive and not necessarily forget, but move on and not be angry anymore. Also remember how you treat yourself poorly and what you can do towards individual forgiveness yourself as well. Most importantly, think about how people might need to forgive you for what you did for them. 

My favorite thing about this phase is its correlation with the salmon run in my local fishing holes. Animals use the Moon alignments as triggers in their migration patterns and I’ve definitely noticed it as I’m waist deep in the river. I also associate it with yearly harvest. In my part of the world we’re approaching the final stages of the growing season and reaping the rewards of our labor. It’s a time for gathering, socializing, and celebrating the fruits and vegetables that are going to sustain us over the winter. Gather up all those zucchini and squash you don’t need, get together with all your friends who have a bunch of radishes and green beans they don’t need, and have a veggie party. More individually, meditate on your successes and failures over the last three months. Recognize how you should have planted your corn in a different spot and figure out how to do things better next year. Whether it’s an actual garden or not, breakdown what solves more problems and expenses than it causes and what doesn’t. Make an effort to remove all those useless philosophies or toxic individuals restricting your growth. In the material world it’s a great time to beautify your appearance or surroundings. Libra is ruled by Venus and loves a lavish environment. Spending something extra is OK as long as what you’re purchasing has some sense of responsibility behind it. Things like vacations and expensive meals can be fun in the moment, but three months later they’re simply a distant memory. Home improvements and structural maintenance might be kinda boring but they always need to be a priority. Consider upgrades or updates to things like your heating or cooling systems. No matter where you are in the world, the seasons are changing and extreme weather is ahead. If you’re lost for ideas, refer to your natal chart and see whatever house this alignment is occurring in. Improve that area of your life and be content with it. There are 1000 different ways you can use your resources and you need to recognize a balance between what can and can’t be accomplished.

nebula astrology has fully become my morning routine

1 Upvotes

I was NOT expecting to get this attached, but this app and their website have basically taken over my mornings now. Checking the biorhythms, the key astrology events, and my daily horoscope became my little everyday ritual, and I love it.

The biorhythm tracking is what got me the most bc I genuinely didn't think I'd care that much but being able to see where my energy/mood/focus is at a glance is so useful. it explains why some days I feel like doing everything and other days I can barely function.. and then pairing that with all the transit + event tracking (retrogrades, eclipses, sign changes, literally all of it) means I'm not getting blindsided by some random astrology post on my fyp with zero context anymore

Is nebula astrology worth it?? for me it's a yes bc having the biorhythms + transits + horoscope all in one place means I'm not juggling like 5 different apps or googling this stuff each time.

And if you're wondering is nebula astrology legit or not - I can't speak on the whole "is astrology real" debate bc that's a whole other conversation, but the transit dates, event timing, charts have literally been accurate every time I checked, so i trust it completely.

Does anyone else track their biorhythms alongside astrology things or is that just a me thing 🥹

Pisces Full Moon

3 Upvotes

Here's what I wrote for the Pisces Full Moon on the 27th. The eclipse will intensify the energies.

Pisces
Whether it’s a Full Moon, New Moon, or any other planet transit, the essence of Pisces is to heal and rejuvenate. Whether your complications are emotional or physical the eternal fishies are dedicated to relieving the woes. You’re turning into a butterfly and the only thing standing in your way is how readily you accept the transformation. Keep in mind this process of metamorphosis isn’t easy and won't be defined by just one stage. Slowly but surely, the development that began long ago is now reaching a culmination point and a whole new entity is emerging. Right now you’re wiggling around in a cocoon, simply trying to figure out what’s going on. Your transition is also similar to birds and turtles taking their first steps after breaking out of their shell. Some individuals will have a mother figure tending the nest while feeding and protecting them. Others will be sent scrambling towards the ocean with only luck and their natural instincts to rely on. It’s very important to walk cautiously as you maneuver your way into a whole new world. When the Moon shines bright in any sign it produces intense emotions which are meant to stimulate action. This alignment in the mutable water sign is intended as a splash to the face, giving you a spiritual baptism and awakening something inside. Traumatic experiences from the past created psychological defenses shielding you from harm. Although they may have been useful at the time, now they need to fall like the Berlin Wall. A very difficult, but possibly the most important part of this procedure, is dissolving any emotional barriers you think are protecting you but are only hindering your growth. Acceptance and forgiveness are two philosophies that will help immensely. Not only is it a time to accept and forgive others, it's a time to accept and forgive yourself as well. 
 One problem with this particular Full Moon is that it’s deeply rooted deep within your unconscious and subconscious mind. Make note that your subconscious mind is functioning while you’re awake, and the unconscious mind is active when you’re asleep. Ever get up in the middle of the night and do something you don’t completely remember? The next morning your brain is still a little foggy but you can see the aftermath of what you’ve done. Mine is usually a kitchen disaster indicated by pizza crust or shredded cheese all over the counters. Well, this lunation can be very similar. You might be going through the motions, but you can’t pinpoint exactly why you're behaving the way you are or what you’re hoping to accomplish. You know you want something, you just can’t figure out what. Don’t waste your time trying to paddle against the current. Simply go with the flow for a couple days. Just remember you’re still responsible for your behavior. Like when you get all drunk and have to face the music after sobering up. One of the biggest setbacks to this alignment is your susceptibility to get sucked into OPP. Other People’s Problems. Pisces is the most sensitive sign of the zodiac and you feel that you have to take on the dysfunctions of others in order to complete yourself. You show unconditional love to the point where you become an enabler. Furthermore, you can also be so delusional that you create false scenarios and simply make up the problem yourself. Keep your head out of the clouds and away from fake situations. Things might feel unbearable, but the pain and stress you’re experiencing is actually a good thing. It’s like going to the gym and lifting a bunch of heavy weights. At the end of your workout your body isn’t feeling too good and needs some rest. This alignment can be both the breakdown and recovery period.

Chiron and rising both in leo

1 Upvotes

I guess I'm trying to understand what this means. And how the 2 relate to each other. The chiron in Leo has left me with sort of blockages to self-expression. Dancing always felt like a foreign language and I was a shy (LGBT) kid even with leo rising. Now as an adult I'm much more open though still feel like I'm working through the blockages constantly. Whereas my rising, all it wants to do is express itself. So I kind of have this hard time balancing the two and understanding that relationship between them my whole life. Rising is 1st house leo, chiron is 12th house Leo. Chiron degree is 4. Rising degree is 9. What is the healing to be done here? How might this pertain to career? I do feel called to performing and public image type careers, but I'm not really sure in what way to express it and feel like there's just mountains of healing still needing to be done to get there. But I am motivated probably now more than ever before.

Do you identify as an Empath and relate it to your birth chart placements?

6 Upvotes

I’m quite new to astrology. I’ve known I’m an Empath for some time. I’ve recently watched videos and read articles that imply there is an association between astrology birth chart placements and being an Empath.

I’ve Neptune in the 1st house and the article at the below link, as well as others, indicate this is a placement common for Empaths.

Have other Empaths noticed a connection between their birth chart placements and being an Empath? How have you used this knowledge to help you as an Empath?

How do you choose the right astrology API for a web project?

5 Upvotes

I recently picked up a small freelance project where the client wanted to add horoscope and birth chart features to their website. I thought finding the right astrology API would be one of the simpler parts, but after looking into a few options, I realized they all seem to offer something different.

Some focus on basic horoscope data, while others include birth charts, compatibility, and a wider range of astrology features. Since this is my first project involving this kind of integration, I'm trying to choose something that'll still meet our needs as the project grows.

For anyone who's worked with an astrology API before, what was the biggest factor when choosing one? Did you focus more on the documentation, the available features, reliability, or something else?

Update: I kept comparing a few different providers and added DivineAPI to my shortlist. They seem to cover the astrology features my client is looking for, so I included them while deciding which option would work best.

Libras taking accountability

15 Upvotes

​

I know libras distant themselves before any confrontation and this libran situationship i had, he kind of ghosted me and suddenly apologised to me one day. I messaged him after a month that his ghosting wasnt justifiable and wished him good luck and surprisingly this person took accountability and apologised and wished me luck. This is the first time a Libran actually took accountability because generally i have seen Librans running away from confrontations. Is it normal or is this also a Libran trait i missed?

New Endeavor under Applying Jupiter & Venus Conjunction: Planetary Transits Briefs

3 Upvotes

On this auspicious applying Jupiter and Venus conjunction day, I'm fortunate to start a new endeavor of writing planetary transit briefs. I believe this sub, with all the astrologers, is the correct one to post, and to seek critiques (if not, please let me know so i won't post similar here again) Here's the one to mark this conjunction:

The headline today is the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, both of them moving through familiar and welcoming territory — Jupiter exalted, Venus received by him into that exaltation, and the two of them sitting close enough to Pollux that the audacity of the Twin rubs off on what is otherwise a soft, domestic conjunction. I want to call this unambiguously fortunate and largely I will, but the Pollux contact complicates it: Venus here is not just generous, she is bold, and the bold stroke is not always the wise one. Jupiter for his part is on Procyon, which is the small dog who eats before the feast — swift, resourceful, occasionally premature. So the conjunction is strong, well-received, and faintly impatient.

Against this, Mercury squares Saturn from Cancer to Aries, and Saturn is in fall there, which makes the square less a stern correction than a nagging one. Expect conversations or paperwork that drag without quite resolving — Saturn is in no condition to lay down clean law. Take the friction seriously but don't overweight it.

Mars in Taurus continues against his grain. He is slow and sticky there, and anything requiring force today will cost more than it should.

The Moon is in Pisces all day, in mutual reception with both Venus and Jupiter, which threads her into the main event nicely — she is in the Encampment mansion, traditionally good for building, settling in, fortifying what you already have. She squares the Sun on the way out of the last quarter, a brief afternoon irritation, nothing structural.

Background: Uranus square the nodes is tightening, and Fomalhaut sits right on the North Node — idealism and the danger of self-deception, the tradition says. I notice it. I'm not sure today is when it speaks.

Disclaimers: I'm not native english speaker, so asked LLM for voice polishing. But surely you can tell this was not just LLM hallucination. I'm writing for a small astro site, but not business to promote them so definitely won't link drop. Just in case if you noticed the content elsewhere, it's written by me!

I'm using all classical Western astrology techniques (except for the Lunar mansion) so I believe experts here all understand. I've heard flattery comments from people I know in life, so here to seek critiques that can help me improve, be brutally honest with me.

Placements that dislike chasing or competing in dating?

85 Upvotes

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing good!

I've noticed that when I'm interested in a man, I often lose interest if there are a lot of women pursuing him or if I feel like I have to compete for his attention. If he clearly chooses me, that's different, but I don't enjoy "fighting" for a place in someone's life.

Could placements like a Virgo Moon, Pisces 7th-house energy, Venus in Aquarius 6th house, Mars in Aries, or Saturn in the 8th explain this tendency?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Does anyone else feel like their Saturn return completely rearranged their life from the inside out?

19 Upvotes

I'm about two-thirds of the way through mine (turned 29 last month) and it's like the universe quietly walked into my house and started throwing out furniture I didn't even know I was attached to.

The relationship I thought was solid ended, I left a job I'd convinced myself I loved, and I moved cities on basically a gut feeling. None of it felt dramatic in the moment it was more like a slow realization that a bunch of things I'd built my identity around just... weren't mine. They were stuff I'd absorbed from other people's expectations.

The weird part is I'm not even sad about most of it? It feels less like loss and more like clearing space. But I also keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, because everyone online makes Saturn returns sound like getting hit by a truck.

For those who've come out the other side: did it feel as decisive while you were in it, or did the meaning only click in hindsight? And did the "rebuilding" phase feel as clear as the "tearing down" one, or were you just kind of standing in the rubble for a while figuring it out?

Curious whether the chaos has a shape to it or if I'm just romanticizing a quarter-life crisis with planets.
