The unspoken astrology greats. If you can hear me I’m sorry if I’m a few centuries off but to think of how much astrology has always been so deeply treasured by many it is a symbol of the inner life so nothing said or done by anything or anyone outside take it or make it go away

We’re not meant to eat meat, or even technically grains/starches. We as a human species are meant to thrive on a raw vegan diet, of fruits, veggies, and rarely nuts/seeds (specifically, on an 801010 ratio with 80% of our calories or more coming from carbohydrates, and 10% or less from fat and protein). Grains and starches cut up our intestinal tract like glass shards. However, it has been proven to still have beneficial properties to our health and can be eaten in a healthy diet. In general, whether it be cooked or raw, a low fat vegan diet is the healthiest and most natural on the planet. Meat however isn’t. Any amount of meat or animal product is too much. 

If we were designed to eat meat like society tells us we are, we would be eating it raw. The whole “it’s what we’d eat in nature” debate goes down the toilet when we buy our pre-cut and cured meat at the supermarket, season it and cook it. Animals in nature who are meant to eat meat eat it raw, catch it themselves, kill it with their own claws/teeth, eat the blood and guts and fat, etc. We as humans don’t have any “claws”, nor can we bite into flesh with our teeny tiny teeth. 

Meat-eaters: don’t have skin pores and perspire through the tongue

Herbivores: perspire through skin pores

Humans: perspire through skin pores

Meat-eaters: have sharp front teeth for tearing, with no flat molar teeth for grinding

Herbivores: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding

Humans: no sharp front teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding

Meat-eaters: have intestinal tract that is only 3 times their body length so that rapidly decaying meat can pass through quickly

Herbivores: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.

Humans: have intestinal tract 10-12 times their body length.

Meat-eaters: have strong hydrochloric acid in stomach to digest meat

Herbivores: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater

Humans: have stomach acid that is 20 times weaker than that of a meat-eater

Meat-eaters: salivary glands in mouth not needed to pre-digest grains and fruits.

Herbivores: well-developed salivary glands which are necessary to pre-digest grains and fruits

Humans: well-developed salivary glands, which are necessary to pre-digest, grains and fruits

Meat-eaters: have acid saliva with no enzyme ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Herbivores: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Humans: have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains

Based on a chart by A.D. Andrews, Fit Food for Men, (Chicago: American Hygiene Society, 1970)

Meat-eaters also synthesize vitamin c, while herbivores and humans do not and need to get it externally from their food.

If We Were Meant to Eat Meat, Why Is It Killing Us?

Carnivorous animals in the wild virtually never suffer from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, strokes, or obesity, ailments that are caused in humans in large part by the consumption of the saturated fat and cholesterol in meat.

Excess Protein

We consume twice as much protein as we need when we eat a meat-based diet, and this contributes to osteoporosis and kidney stones. Animal protein raises the acid level in our blood, causing calcium to be excreted from the bones to restore the blood’s natural pH balance. This calcium depletion leads to osteoporosis, and the excreted calcium ends up in the kidneys, where it can form kidney stones or even trigger kidney disease.

Consuming animal protein has also been linked to cancer of the colon, breast, prostate, and pancreas. According to Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the director of the Cornell-China-Oxford Project on Nutrition, Health, and the Environment, “In the next ten years, one of the things you’re bound to hear is that animal protein … is one of the most toxic nutrients of all that can be considered.”

Eating meat can also have negative consequences for stamina and sexual potency. One Danish study indicated that “Men peddling on a stationary bicycle until muscle failure lasted an average of 114 minutes on a mixed meat and vegetable diet, 57 minutes on a high-meat diet, and a whopping 167 minutes on a strict vegetarian diet.”9Besides having increased physical endurance, vegan men are also less likely to suffer from impotence.

Food Poisoning

Since we don’t have strong stomach acids like carnivores to kill all the bacteria in meat, dining on animal flesh can also give us food poisoning. According to the USDA, meat is the cause of 70 percent of foodborne illnesses in the United States because it’s often contaminated with dangerous bacteria like E. coli, listeria, and campylobacter. Every year in the United States alone, food poisoning sickens over 75 million people and kills more than 5,000.

Dr. William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of the authoritative American Journal of Cardiology, sums it up this way: “[A]lthough we think we are one and we act as if we are one, human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores.” Learn more about how meat damages human health.

Human Evolution and the Rise of Meat-Heavy Diets

If it’s so unhealthy and unnatural for humans to eat meat, why did our ancestors sometimes turn to flesh for sustenance?

During most of our evolutionary history, we were largely vegetarian. Plant foods like potatoes made up the bulk of our ancestors’ diet. The more frequent addition of modest amounts of meat to the early human diet came with the discovery of fire, which allowed us to lower the risk of being sickened or killed by parasites in meat. This practice did not turn our ancestors into carnivores but rather allowed early humans to survive in periods when plant foods were unavailable.

All nutrients needed for humans can and should be gotten from a plant-based diet, as it is not only a better source, but is pure. When you get your nutrients through a rotting animal carcus you have put these essential nutrients through a filter of an animals body and digestive tract. 

For the protein argument, our protein needs as humans are very low. We only need 2.5% of our daily calories from protein, and with sufficient plant-based calories, this is easily attainable. There is no such thing as protein deficiency, only calorie deficiency which obviously lacks many things (protein being one of them, but not the only thing that’s lacking). 

As for dairy, since it’s so acidic in the body (and your body is an efficient machine at trying to keep you in an alkaline state) it leeches calcium from your bones to neutralize the acidity, giving you problems like osteoporosis  It’s a terrible source of calcium, and is filled with puss. 

As for eggs, it’s high in cholesterol and leads to many health problems, health isn’t another species period! 

Honey: bee vomit, acidic in the body. 

PS. Eating meat is not a personal choice. You can’t pay for the inhumane exploitation, abuse and slaughter of another sentient being and call it “personal choice”.

This is not personal choice (nor is it the “food chain”):

Eating meat affects more than just you, it affects the planet, which is my home too, and I want it to be around for a long time. 

Veganism and the environment

Dairy plays a major role in creating climate change

40% of global marine catch is by-catch (basically we are throwing back enormous amounts of unusable species into the sea, dead and wasted)

An estimated 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises die in fishing nets every year.

Overgrazing is blamed for 35% of soil degradation, deforestation for 30%, and agriculture for 27%. These main causes are directly or indirectly related to the consumption of animal products.

Studies indicate that a varied vegan diet requires about a third of the land needed for conventional Western diets. We do not have enough land to feed everyone on an animal-based diet.

The livestock sector is a major player, responsible for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions measured in CO2 equivalent. This is a higher share than transport.

Animal product consumption is causing deforestation: there are undiscovered plants and other things in these areas that could help with medicine, not to mention that rain forests and other land contributes to 20% or so of the Earth’s oxygen. 

60% of deforestation is related to animal agriculture

For every 4 lbs of retail fish caught, 1 lb of other fish dies.

It has been predicted that all the world’s fisheries will collapse in 2048 unless something is done to stop it.

It is estimated that over-fishing threatens the food security of about 200 million people.

The Lives of Slaughterhouse Workers: they are usually on shitty contracts, are usually poor and people of color (PoC), how they don’t have basic working rights, and how often times they are undocumented, so they can’t go for help.

Big, rich, Western, white countries go into other countries: usually (again) poor, underprivileged, native areas that are (again) usually inhabited by PoC. This takes land away from the people in that region or country and gives it to a) the livestock and/or b) the crops raised for that livestock.

Even in the west, people who live near slaughter farms have shitty water, shitty soil, shitty air, and they get really really sick. 

They’re also more likely to be poverty stricken.

Animal Agriculture Sickens Everyone

Nestle Milk Chocolate Products Brought To You By Child Slavery

Antibiotic use in meat production has been linked to the rise in ‘super bugs’, which are antibiotic-resistant bacteria, found in a lot of meats available in supermarkets. These maladies can kill people.

In 2004/5 there were 2270 injury claims made in the meat processing industry, most of which were due to falls, injuries with knives and ‘body stressing’.

People working in tanneries to make leather from the skin of animals that have been killed are exposed to numerous dangerous chemicals (chromium being the worst).  The chemicals can cause cancer, skin diseases, respiratory illnesses while the machinery is also dangerous and can result in amputations.  In India, people have died due to the exposure to these chemicals, due to unsafe working conditions.  People have also died in Bangladesh and are affected by the chemicals in a multitude of ways. These chemicals can also leach into the water supply and affect the air and soil quality, which in turn causes illnesses and diseases in nearby populations.

“Vegan is the future, out of necessity,“ and the UN agrees.

Eating Vegan Is Efficient, Both Costly & Environmentally (Alternatively: Why Meat ISN’T Efficient)

Here is a prison that went vegetarian solely because of it being cheaper.

Here is a prison in California where half the inmates were served vegan food. That half had remarkably lower incidences of violence and much better fellowship (which goes to show you that there is more to this issue than just dollars and cents).

An acre of land can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, but only 250 pounds of beef.

Meat subsidies strip other food industries to the bone

4 million people on this planet live on an almost exclusively vegan diet due to poverty.

If Britain went vegetarian, less than half the farm land would be needed; vegan, less than a quarter.

The less people eating meat, the cheaper produce gets for everyone.

Junk Food Costs More Than Healthy Foods

We currently produce enough food to feed the world, but feed it to animals we later kill instead.

Studies confirm increasing population must abandon meat by 2050.

Why is raising animals for food so inefficient?

70% of grain and cereals grown in U.S. are fed to farmed animals

it requires 16 pounds of grain to produce 1 pound of meat

What does eating meat have to do with people starving in other countries?

every ounce of water, grain and resources that goes towards an animal who will ultimately be slaughtered is an ounce of water or grain that could have gone to those who so desperately need it. a study published earlier this year in the journal Environmental Research Letters analyzed the world’s agriculture resource data and found that humans cutting meat from their diets could play a significant role in combating world hunger. According to the researchers, 36 percent of the total calories that come from crops are allocated to farm animal feed, but only 12 percent of those calories actually make it to people’s dinner plates. The researchers concluded that if all of the world’s crops were directly consumed by humans, there would be approximately 70 percent more food available, providing sustenance for an additional 4 billion additional people.

Check out this article, in which the UN is urging a global shift towards a vegan diet -

“A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change, a UN report said today.

As the global population surges towards a predicted 9.1 billion people by 2050, western tastes for diets rich in meat and dairy products are unsustainable, says the report fromUnited Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP)international panel of sustainable resource management.”

So, in short, if the planet begins to move towards a vegan diet, our planet would last much longer, there would be better food opportunities for people who don’t get enough, there would be less damage done to the environment, there would be less disease, and maybe the other sentient beings on this planet will finally be treated with the respect they deserve.

Being vegan is also very cheap and affordable:

A retrograde is defined as when a planet is rotating in the opposite direction that it is normally rotating in. And sometimes, at the time of our birth, there are one or more planets that are in retrograde, therefore influencing our natal chart. Anything planet that is in retrograde in our natal chart internalizes the influence of that planet, and makes the qualities of that planet something that can be felt clearly on the inside but something that isn’t able to be expressed on the outside.

✨THE SUN AND THE MOON DO NOT GO INTO RETROGRADE✨

NATAL MERCURY IN RETROGRADE

The mind becomes an extension of the subconscious instead of a form of outer expression. Words are internalized and will bloom inside, they will take root within your brain and will rarely be shown the light of day. (And I don’t mean shallow conversation, I mean the deeper, more private side of you and of your words). Words will flow freely in your mind but mean all the wrong things when they come out of your mouth. What you speak is not always what you think, and what you think is not always what you speak. Traditional public education may be difficult, as you are not always best equipped to express your mind in a strictly academic environment. Try expressing your mind through alternative means like art, music, and dance, something that allows for your mind to speak without words.

NATAL VENUS IN RETROGRADE

Your love and what you find beautiful is internalized. Your personal aesthetic or your personal style may be hard to come up with or hard to find,you may never be truly comfortable in the clothing that you wear. Your expression of love and affection is something that has to be forcibly pulled out from deep inside, and you may feel like love is something that you lack, or rather something that you do not show enough. Love and relationships will be a tender and deep part of your life for you, and something that you will constantly have to work through. You may feel like you could have always been more in a relationship. More loving. More tender. More comforting. More kind. More, more, and more, you will give all of yourself away and never realize that your love on its own is enough. You do not have to prove that you love someone/something. We all love in different and naturally complex ways. Take your time.

NATAL MARS IN RETROGRADE

There is an anger inside but something will prevent it from leaving your body and your mind. Those that are cruel to you will mistake your silence for weakness or indifference. Your anger is not a flame but it is an ocean, and many people will not recognize water as anger. Your passion is something that is sedated. And sometimes you will drown in the ocean that you have created, with the outer expression of anger and passion being just above the surface but being unable to escape. Because of the silencing of the warrior inside you have learned to avoid confrontation, arguments, competition, anything that requires you to express something that you often fear that you do not possess. And sometimes will you direct all of the anger that is not able to be expressed back onto yourself. You do not have to prove your anger. Your energy. Your drive. And during the course of your life, learn to not destroy yourself.

NATAL JUPITER IN RETROGRADE

Your philosophies and expansion will be on the inside. Your life will be one of constant and unyielding self expansion internally, with thoughts and ideas about life being yours and yours only. Your view on the world may be seen as different, as modern day religions and spiritual concepts are never are able to completely define the way that you feel about this earth on the inside. Society cannot “taint” your personal philosophies and preconceived ideas about life itself. With all of this self growth you may look at the rest of the world and wonder why others cannot simply grow too, why they seemingly cannot expand from who they used to be and involve into who they actually are. However, with all of this internalized growth your external growth may be stagnant. You may plan, start something new, throw away all of your progress, plan again, and the cycle continues. It may seem as if you have so many great ideas but they never come into fruition, that your ideas stay ideas and never become visible. Growth on the inside will not be as easy. Take time to projects and care for your ideas, it may take you longer to execute them but it does not mean that they are not worth it.

NATAL SATURN IN RETROGRADE

Saturn has barricaded you from yourself. Who you are and who you can be is often not felt, there will be a deep rooted fear that you will never live up to other’s expectations and that you will never be enough. You truly knows what it feels like to have restrictions harbored within yourself, to know what it feels like to go through life lesson after life lesson until you are unable to recognize yourself. You are uncertain in your abilities and who you will become later on. You may feel as if you are blocked off from doing things or achieving things that you want to achieve because of something holding you back deep within yourself. This is not a curse, it is only something that if accepted instead of rejected will allow you to grow. Saturn is the teacher and what you will have to learn is yourself. How to grow when everything that you are has been taken away. Who you are when no one else, not even yourself, is able to define you. What life lessons truly mean and how they help you grow.

NATAL URANUS IN RETROGRADE

I promise that you inner individuality is there. That your uniqueness is there. No human on this earth is like any other and you are no exception. You may not be able to see it on the outside but is definitely within, your ideas and personal revolutions challenge society itself. And sometimes, many times, society will fail to reflect how you feel the world should be inside. And sometimes, many times, you’ll feel helpless and as if you’re unable to change that. Your ideas may just be your own but it does not mean that they are small. It does not mean that they are unable to be shown. Expressing your view on the world may be difficult, yes, explaining how you think society should change may be difficult, yes, but as long as you are promoting a positive change what is the harm in trying? Promoting something positive is not harmful to anyone, not even yourself. Pursue the personal growth and change that you desire. Inspire others to do the same. Remember to be kind. With time you and your ideals will thrive.

NATAL NEPTUNE IN RETROGRADE

Neptune has made who you are and what life is an illusion to even yourself, inside there is a dense fog that does not allow you to see who you really are. Your feelings may muffle what is actually happening, like personal sadness overcasting beautiful moments. And your mind will always be a mind that wanders. Daydreams, fantasies, things that you find beautiful, they swirl around inside and become apart of who you are. And at this point you will have to distinguish between yourself and a dream. Your heart and a mirage. Your mind and enchantment. Life is not always as kind as you may make it out to be. People are not always as soft as you see them as. Some experiences cannot be romanticized. And you have to accept that there is a both a real version of the world and a real version of yourself. Something raw, something unmistakably unkind. The world is not as it seems, people are not as they seem, and you are not as you seem to yourself. Be careful to not let everything that is genuine and true be masked by something that is not reality.

NATAL PLUTO IN RETROGRADE

Moon in Cancer

Lost to the past!

🌙 People with Cancer mood tend to act all strong and macho to hide their vulnerable and sensitive side.

🌙 Moody AF!

🌙 May get angry because they can understand their emotions but their emotions doesn’t make sense to other people.

Moon in Scorpio

Cloak of invisibility!

🌙 Having a Scorpio moon almost always makes your sun sign or rising, whatever on the outside much stronger, like a cover made of shield to hide behind them, but Scorpio is still intense and powerful. I talked about it more in depth here.

🌙 Scorpio moons need comfort and security, but wants emotional intensity.

🌙 Tries to not feel anything because if Scorpio moon does, it will be to the exteme. 

Moon in Pisces

Blinded by it all!

🌙 Might gain weight from emotional eating. Food somehow is used to full the empty void inside.

🌙 Pisces Moons tend to feel a lot, but it’s hard to put their feelings into words.They hate people who are unsympathetic and indifferent.

🌙 They are the kind to love everyone, but don’t like just anyone.

Moon in Gemini

I see the world sideways!

🌙 May not look like it, but Gemini moons want everything to be comfortable around them to feel safe.

🌙 Multitasking, is their middle name 

🌙 Hard to know where they stand emotionally. Gemini moons are very complex, where nobody really realize how comxplex their feelings and minds are.

Moon in Libra

Swallow your fears!

🌙 It’s hard to for Libra moon people to understand themselves emotionally.

🌙 Libra moons tend to allow themselves to express their emotion when they think they should. When Libra moons are feeling down, they sit alone with a blank face and an empty head for a long period of time.

🌙 “I don’t really like to express my pain… Better keep it inside”

Moon in Aquarius

I stumbled lost and wild!

🌙 Usually they are detached, until they experience strong feelings out of nowhere they bottle up and buried deep down come in full force like a gate been open for the first time and in full speed.

🌙 Haunting feeling that there is always something missing.

🌙 Sociable, but a loner all the way.

Moon in Taurus

Midnight sun!

🌙 A homebody that wish to be more sociable.

🌙  Food binge to fill bottomless pit-that is their stomach-just like Taurus sun and maybe sometimes rising. Somehow Taurus moons are able to keep a good weight.

🌙 When they are emotionally drained, their mental and physical energy becomes much more slow than usual.

Moon in Virgo

Autumn air!

🌙 Tend to hide their emotions in some sort of façade; poker face, fun weirdo, ect.

🌙 Hate over display of emotions. Because they are so conscious of their feelings, they work so much to not let it show, so when they see someone who doesn’t have the same discipline over their emotions is usually unappealing.

🌙 Must feel appreciated.

Moon in Caparicorn

Like a thorny rose!

🌙 Hidden emotions under cool exterior. Capricorn moon people have sometimes unrealistic expectations of themselves.

🌙 It may take centuries to make this moon sign warm up to you.

🌙 “the more someone opens up to me, the more I will open up to them, but they have to be consistent”

Moon in Aries

Life is like a fire!

🌙 Much more sensitive than Aries sun or rising and they are very aware of how sensitive they can be.

🌙 Will react in anger to distract you from seeing their sensitive and vulnerable side like Cancer moons.

🌙 Their actions definitely speak louder than words. Aries moon people reactions are very dependent on their surroundings.

Moon in Leo

Golden daffodils!

🌙 Leo moons (especially women) tend to show their nurturing side more than Cancer, Cancers are more wary and conscious of this trait.

🌙 Their feelings, either shown or experienced inside, are very dramatic.

🌙 These people love and appreciate display of affection, even though they maybe shy to show it themselves.

Moon in Sagittarius

I am beating all my wings!

🌙 If in a good or bad mood, everyone in the room will know and feel the shift in the Sagittarius moons.

🌙 May appear outgoing and fun but you don’t see that they are actually private people. If Sagittarius moons hate something, it would be people that get in their business and act all superior.

🌙 They may not always share their feelings, but they most likely talk about it as a way to let it out and move on.

note: check the ruler of the house your moon falls in. So, If you have moon falls in your 7th house, the Venus rules the 7th house and Libra, then Libra moon apply to you. Also check the ruler of the planets aspecting your moon, for example; neptune aspecting your moon, neptune rules Pisces, Pisces moon apply to you and so on.
