Piscesconstellation - ☽✪☾

Fire moons (Aries, Leo, Sag): they are heavily driven and spirited. Ambitious, creative and enthusiastic are all qualities that bind the fire moons. They are quite blunt but despite their hash nature, they are vulnerable and simply want to feel “important” to others or society.

Fire moon + Fire Venus: These people are quite direct when it comes to flirting and they are very “loud” that can be very attractive to others. Fire and fire makes this person a joy and a party. Although it’s hard for them to solidify a romance because they work in short cycles. They may let their inner ambitions and their need for competition to get in the way. They will compare themselves to their partners constantly or they will let that faulty ego get in the way and assume their partners don’t appreciate them. These ppl need reassurance and they also need some grounding. Believe it or not, these people lack interpersonal skills and need to understand the purposes of relationships. They can be too demanding and lack the ability to negotiate boundaries of the relationship and accommodate with them.

Fire moon + Air Venus: These people don’t know what they want. Too much free-flowing and high energy can make it hard for them to find partners that keep them interested but they can be promiscuous. They can come off too intimidating bc of how independent and fierce they are. Most importantly, they don’t prefer relationships that require much work, they may be more concern with their projects and building up an image rather than investing in personal relationships; however, they can be romantic. Others may assume this combination is very “fake” or surface level but again, these people don’t know what they want. Air venus typically don’t know how relationships work in general and paired with a fire moon that is always working toward people’s validation, they need a partner that can work with them but not take charge. These people hate being confined.

Fire moon + Water Venus: These people need it all. They can give too much devotion to their partners which usually results into unbalanced power dynamics. These people can easily get pushed aside and manipulated. However, they can also manipulate their partners; either way it’s important these people establish healthy relationships and not be too dependent on their partners. They also got a presence to them, a quirky but also direct personality that makes them very attractive to others especially of how loyal and protective they are. Romance is very essential and they will typically do all the corny romantic gestures you can think of. However, they are very fragile and relationships must be nurturing for them and the other person. Know your boundaries and learn to not invest in people who wouldn’t give you the time of day.

Fire moon + Earth Venus: These people like to be in charge when it comes to relationships. They can be very ambitious and driven but they are not as direct and it takes time for them to really see who is a perfect fit for them. They, too can be very demanding and again, they can practically run the relationship because being in control is almost a necessity. Romance is shown through gifts and being secured with one another. They can be bossy but it’s because they usually are independent and they know exactly what they want. The other person just needs to fit with their standards. I will say it’s hard to work with these people bc they are like molten rock; they always gotta be in the right.

Pagan Wheel of the Year. The Wheel of the Year is celebrated as the Natural Cycle of the Seasons, commemorated by the eight Sabbats. In Paganism all of Nature is Cyclical, the passing of Time is a Cycle, represented by a Circle or Wheel. The course of Birth, Life, Decline, and Death that we see in our human lives is echoed in the Seasons. The Eight Sabbats The Eight Sabbats are holidays that celebrate the passing of the year. Each Sabbat also symbolizes a Time in the Life of the Wiccan God, who is born from the Wiccan Goddess, grows to full manhood, mates with her, and reigns as king during the summer. He then declines and dies, rising anew the next year. The dates of the various Pagan Celebrations in the Wheel of the Year change from year-to-year and even differ in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The dates given here are for reference and example only. They are provided to assist one in approximating the Time of the year in which the particular Celebration is observed. The Sabbats (Seasons of the Witch)   Yule - Winter Solstice (circa  December 21) The date varies from December 20 to December 23 depending on the year in the Gregorian calendar.  Yule is also known as the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere due to the seasonal differences. Imbolc - Imbolc (February 2)  As with all Old Tradition observances, this holiday is usually celebrated beginning at sundown on February 1 and continuing through the day of February 2. Imbolc means in the belly of the Mother because that is where seeds are beginning to stir as it is Spring. Ostara - The Vernal Equinox (circa March 21)  As Spring reaches its midpoint, Night and Day stand in perfect Balance, with Light on the increase. The young Sun God now celebrates a Hierogamy (sacred marriage) with the young Maiden Goddess, who conceives. In nine months, she will again become the Great Mother. It is a time of great fertility, new growth, and newborn animals. Beltane - Beltane (May 1) Many Wiccans and Pagans celebrate Beltane.  It is one of eight Solar Sabbats. This holiday incorporates traditions from the Gaelic Bealtaine, such as the bonfire, but it bears more relation to the Germanic May Day festival, both in its significance (focusing on fertility) and its Rituals (such as May pole dancing). Some traditions celebrate this holiday on May 1 or May day, whiles others begin their celebration the eve before or April 30th. Litha - Summer Solstice (circa June 21) Although the name Litha is not well attested, it may come from Saxon tradition - the opposite of Yule. On this longest day of the year, light and life are abundant. At mid-summer, the Sun God has reached the moment of his greatest strength. Seated on his greenwood throne, he is also lord of the Forests, and his face is seen in church architecture peering from countless foliate masks. Lughnasadh - Lammas (August 1) It’s time to celebrate the first harvest of the year, and recognize that the hot summer days will soon come to an end. The plants of spring wither and drop seeds to ensure future crops. Grains are ready to be harvested and the fruits are ripe for picking.  We can give thanks for the food on our tables. Mabon - Autumn Equinox (circa September 21) The Autumn Equinox divides the day and night equally, and we all take a moment to pay our respects to the impending dark. We also give thanks to the waning sunlight, as we store our harvest of this year’s crops. The Druids call this celebration, Mea'n Fo'mhair, and honor the The Green Man, the God of the Forest, by offering libations to trees. Offerings of ciders, wines, herbs and fertilizer are appropriate at this time. Wiccans celebrate the aging Goddess as she passes from Mother to Crone, and her consort the God as he prepares for death and re-birth. Samhain - Samhain (October 31) Samhain means “End of Summer”, and is the third and final Harvest. At Samhain, the Wicca say farewell to the God even though he readies to be reborn at Yule. This grand Sabbat, also known as Feast of the Dead, Feast of Apples, All Hallows, and of course Halloween, once marked the time of Sacrifice. This was the time when animals were slaughtered to ensure food throughout the winter. The God fell as well to ensure our continuing existence. This is a time of reflection and coming to terms with the one thing in life which we have no control - Death. Wiccans feel that on this night the separation between the Physical and Spiritual realities is it’s least guarded and it’s veil the thinnest.  It is a time for dimensional openings and workings, and also the celebration of the Death of the year king. It is a somber holiday, one of dark clothes and thoughts for the dead, it is said to be the  time when those of Necromantic talents can speak with the Dead.

Hey Henry, what are your thoughts on north nodes? It seems like such an important part of ones chart, but I never see anyone post about it on tumblr 🤔 Did I get this right-ish?; south node = past life, comfort-zone (mine is in pisces and 1st, so ego, escapism and self sacrificing behaviour) and north node = current life, destiny (?), new and uncomfortable situations that one has to experience (virgo in 7th, being organized and focusing on relationships, having a stable relationship). Thanks!

I think that the nodes are blown a little out of proportion in modern astrology. If we take things back to basics, however, I think that they can bear a lot of rich fruit. Consider the fact that the nodes are the places where the path of the Moon intersects the Solar ecliptic. At a very basic level we have the uniting of the Solar and Lunar selves here (similar to the Sun/Moon midpoint). Your active and passive natures are at one here. Your needs and wants align, and that’s why it can feel so powerful to prioritize the nodes when it comes to examining “life purpose”. 

That being said, however, I personally take the Vedic (Jyotish) route when it comes to the nodes. I think that the North Node implies material increase, but a special kind of obsessiveness and spiritual drain, whereas the South Node implies material decrease, a special kind of apathy, and spiritual gain. It’s unhealthy to spend too much time at either end of the axis (this is true for every axis in astrology so it’s a bizarre thing to me that modern astrologers always tout the North Node as some sort of ultimate chart feature), and the ultimate manifestation would be one that is balanced. On one end you see the archetypal billionaire, who constantly craves more and more and yet is never satisfied, whereas on the other end you have a starving monk, who by releasing everything and giving to others attains the ultimate fulfillment and yet may not be able to (actually) feed himself. Both energies are necessary for a practical life, but taken to extremes they can become dangerous.

From a technical standpoint I use the adage that the North Node amplifies what it touches (and thus is a good match for the benefics) and the South Node dissipates what it touches (and thus is a good match for the malefics).

Functionally I think that we can see increase where the North Node is transiting and meaning where the South Node is.

“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know. Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

— Carl Jung, “Memories, Dreams, Reflections”

by Benz Catbagan

Moon in a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) feels best when they turn emotions into determination, when they become leaders. They feel at an emotional best when leading or achieving their goals or when they have something to dedicate themselves to

Moon in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) feels best when they are being listened to or doing their own thing. They don’t like being told what to do or how to feel. They feel their best when they are going their own way

Moon in a mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) feels best when going with the flow and being able to have room to fix or accommodate plans or themselves. They feel at an emotional best when they have room to grow and change

Jupiter and the Law of Attraction

Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that Jupiter being in someone’s 1st house or having Jupiter rule their rising is sometimes described to be a placement that can “bring luck wherever the individual goes”.

Let’s look at Sagittarius and Pisces (Jupiterian beings) separately to evaluate this.

Sagittarius is often pinpointed as an optimist. The Law of Attraction states that you attract what you think. Therefore, an optimistic Sagittarius will only attract good things to their life, appearing “lucky” to the outside world. In addition, many great philosophers (Philosophy is a Jupiterian subject) followed this law and believed in it.

Pisces, on the other hand, attracts fortune through fantasy. A Sagittarius will simply expect or hope for the best while a Pisces will fantasize about what they wish would happen/be happening. This channel of thought enforces the Law of Attraction and gives a Piscean what they desire. This ease of manifestation is also why Pisces may easily bring their own self-undoing. Pisceans are known to soak up emotions that are around them. Once this gets into their head and messes up their thoughts, then undesirable events happen; this chain of events falls within the Law of Attraction.

Of course, at the end of the day, Pisceans are still under the care of Neptune: a guide who will release Pisces to the clouds without a tie to bring them back to reality. This could be the difference in how Pisces and Sagittarius experience luck. Sagittarius is very grounded and eager to learn as well as initiate action while Pisces is busy dancing in the clouds.
