- Sun Opposite Moon or Sun Square Moon can indicate that your parents are exact opposites and have issues getting along. This could potentially lead to their separation in your early life. Similarly, your Sun aspects can represent the father relationship, and your Moon aspects can represent the mother relationship. - Compatibility cannot be based on sun signs alone. Comparing other placements is needed to see how two individuals work together and where they need improvement in the relationship. - There is no moon sign that isn’t capable of emotions, despite the popular stereotype. Water moons express emotions with ease, Air moons try to intellectualize their emotions, Fire moons feel too intensely, and Earth moons withdraw when their emotions are too much to handle. - Gemini risings tend to have asymmetrical faces. This could manifest as having one dimple, a lazy or smaller eye, moles on one side, different eye colors, etc. - Too much energy in one house can cause issues surrounding the house’s theme if the aspects are negative. ex. 4th House Stellium - issues with family and your upbringing, 7th House - issues with relationships and cooperation - Your sun sign is the person you are meant to become. It represents your ego from birth. It is normal not to feel like your sun sign because you are meant to grow into it overtime. Look to your sun’s house and its aspects for more clues. Always look at your aspects and planet houses if you don’t “feel” like a placement. - Mercury Retrograde is usually the only retrograde that causes issues because of its influence on communication, thinking, and traveling. Retrogrades are meant for self-reflection and introspection. It’s your personal transits you should worry about the most. - Fire Moons have intense and powerful eyes, Earth Moons have large and distant eyes, Air Moons have playful and curious eyes, and Water Moons have compassionate and dreamy eyes. (Based on the theory that eyes are the window to the soul and the Moon sign is a person’s true self) - Cardinal signs Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Capricorn are trend-setters. They set the style, energy, and presence for each individual season.  - Scorpio Mars appears innocent and nonchalant, but if provoked, they will attack you quietly by blackmailing and exposing you. Especially if you told them something personal. - Horoscopes are not for your sun sign, they’re for your rising sign. - A common stereotype in astrology is mistaking the “unpredictable” and “impulsive” signs as uncommitted and afraid of being tied down. There are various ways that unpredictability and impulsiveness can manifest.

Audre Lorde, from The Black Unicorn: Poems; “Solstice” (via conceptvals)

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph. Haile Selassie
