°˖✧❖── preface ──❖✧˖°
Let me begin with this.
I do not believe astrology is entirely accurate, infallible, or inherently telling of someone's character.
I do not think someone is manipulative if they're a Gemini, arrogant because they're a Leo, or toxic because they're a Scorpio.
I am not as stupid as to think where the planets and shit were when somebody was born actually dictate their life and being in whole.
. . .
Now with that out of the way, we can actually begin talking about astrology.
In my practice, I do believe astrology is relevant, however, only as relevant as one is willing to embrace.
If your natal chart holds no weight to you, then it means nothing.
As a chaos magic practitioner, it is imperative to prioritize intent, value, and effort over tradition and guidelines (sans cultural appropriation, there is a line to be drawn and that line is for the respect of others and their culture).
So for astrology, like all things in chaos magic, is optional.
That being said . . .
I think it's cool! :)
I've read a couple interpretations of my natal chart, and they are relatively accurate for me, and I heavily identify with my signs as well.
So in other words, it's relevant to me in that way. Another facet of my identity that I've found for myself.
Do I think it'll be accurate for my whole life, and it predicts my fate to a T? Hell no. I'm an occultist, not an idiot.
. . .
So going forward, content will be under little dropdowns, so you're not scrolling for ten years to get to the part you're looking for.
It looks like this:

B) If you see this you're cool. B)
Hopefully this clears things up. You're gonna need it.

°˖✧❖── about me ──❖✧˖°
⋅⋆⋄✧── Sun in Gemini ──✧⋄⋆⋅
I was born just before the summer solstice.
Which sucks, because I absolutely hate the summer. I think it's the worst season.
Fortunately I was born at night, so at least I get some kind of style points, in my mind.
But now, I'm kind of thankful. I love being a Gemini. It's cool!
Don't get me wrong, sometimes I sit there and go, oh I wish I was an Aquarius or Libra so I could be an air sign in a cold month. Other times, I want to be a Leo, for Homestuck reasons.
But I think I've settled into Gemini.
I'm rational, communicative, and definitely frazzled and nervous.
And, there's a duality to be had. That's my whole thing, at this point, so it fits me quite well. The sign is the Roman numeral for two.
Even in my simplest form, I am still two, not one.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Moon in Aquarius ──✧⋄⋆⋅
As a Aquarius moon, I also find it to be quite fitting.
Away from the view of the world, I very much am an eccentric.
On top of that, I do care about doing the right thing by others, and supporting efforts towards that end.
And I am detached from my emotions, thinking I can invent my way out of them, or thinking I'm "above" them. What can I say, I hate dealing with them.
I'm the last one to serve myself, thinking it's the only way to keep me humble.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Ascendant in Pisces ──✧⋄⋆⋅
Ah, Pisces ascendant. How I both love, and hate thee.
I might appear as dreamy to some. This much is true, especially now that I'm an adult.
What I mean by that, is that I've noticed I have some sort of allure to others.
People think I'm cool. People think I'm attractive.
I appreciate it! I do. Though it's a bit awkward when I am confessed to, and I'm not interested in that kind of relationship with them.
I have somewhat of a dislike for this...attraction, to me.
Maintaining an air of mystery, keeping myself private, is oddly affirming to me as divinekin.
Like I'm something that cannot be fully comprehended. I like that. I do not wish to be fully perceived. This is why I love being online, I am able have more control on how I present myself.
That may seem lonely, and yes, sometimes it is. But I would rather be lonely than to be fully known.
Anyways, that attraction to me, this way I am seen. It draws people in, which make them curious about me.
I tell them about myself, yes. I entertain them, yes. But it's hard for me to keep friends.
Pisces ascendant how I look upon thee.
You draw in man, to something they should not be able to see.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Mercury in Gemini ──✧⋄⋆⋅
Mercury in Gemini is it's domicile, Mercury rules Gemini.
Naturally, this is just compounding myself a Gemini.
Being in Mercury, I talk like one too.
I love collecting information on all sorts of topics "just in case", but mostly about things that interest me.
I can be verbose, and I priortize clear communication. I say exactly what I intend to, and oftentimes have an answer in some fashion when asked for one.
Hell, I have a PDF library because I love collecting information, and books and manuals are a wonderful source of that.
It certainly does not help that I enjoy writing and storytelling, either.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Venus in Gemini ──✧⋄⋆⋅
More Gemini! Different planet, though.
As a Gemini Venus, I am attracted to minds rather than bodies.
This is true, however I can respect a nice body, sure. But if they're dull or ignorant, I want nothing to do with them.
At the time of writing I'm arospec, so romance isn't really my thing, I struggle with it a lot. Therefore, placements regarding romance don't have a lot of sway, but I reinterpret this for platonic purposes. It's just as valid a form of love as romance.
So for all intents and purposes, if someone doesn't hook my curiosity somehow intellectually, they don't stick to me.
And going back to information collection, what do you know, Venus refers to money as well.
Actually that reminds me, I once specifically bought a book to scan and add to my PDF collection. It was one that I wanted to complete a collection of mine, so I jumped at the chance.
Peak Gemini Venus behavior right there.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Mars in Pisces ──✧⋄⋆⋅
As a Mars Pisces, I try to avoid conflict the best I can.
Though if someone is out of line and hurting someone's feelings, it enrages me, so naturally I have to act.
I also act if someone refuses to communicate, to really send the Gemini influence there.
I find no pleasure in sports or competition, and I do favor creative outlets, as you can tell. However, ArtFight happens to exist, which I get competitive over. And it's a creative event, so it's only natural!
I do tend to have loose goals, and am prone to letting things happen. I act defensively rather than offensively. Things need to happen before I am able to figure out how it's dealt with.
⋅⋆⋄✧── Gemini Stellium ──✧⋄⋆⋅
I'm a Gemini Stellium.
Stelliums are when three or more planets or houses cluster in a zodiac sign.
So for me, it's my Sun, Mercury, and Venus. That's the arrangement that people are like "oh that's not an actual stellium", which is stupid.
Because I relate to all three placements, and my disregard for "traditional" astrology or whatever the fuck, I'm a Gemini Stellium.
I embrace being mutable air. I'm a Gemini through and through!
⋅⋆⋄✧── 3rd House Stellium ──✧⋄⋆⋅
I'm a 3rd House (in Taurus) Stellium.
Stelliums are when three or more planets or houses cluster in a zodiac sign.
The 3rd House relates to thinking, communication, and language. Gemini things.
And wouldn't you know it, Mercury is there. Venus and North Node are there too.
So when it comes to thinking and communications, I think and talk a lot about (shocker) collecting and distributing information, love, wealth, and beauty, as well as destiny and purpose.
Yeah, that checks. Though being in Taurus gives it the undertone of honesty and common sense--however I can be stubborn and abrasive about it.
⋅⋆⋄✧── 12th House Stellium ──✧⋄⋆⋅
I'm a 12th House (in Aquarius) Stellium.
Stelliums are when three or more planets or houses cluster in a zodiac sign.
This one surprised me.
12th house applies to a lot of things: the unconscious, spirituality, escapism, sorrow/suffering, the unseen, transcendance, secrets, and detachment.
"12th house is hard to understand!" No it isn't.
That's horrors within my comprehension. I'm built different.
I know the 12th house like the back of my hand. Because I live there.
The Moon, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune are there.
Beyond the surface lies the 12th house, overlaid upon major parts of my life.
All in Aquarius as well.
See, I could tell you all about it, but. . .
Why don't you try making guesses about it yourself. . . ? ::)
