Be Where You Belong
Monday - October 27, 2025
I appreciate the quote on today's graphic by the Dutch philosopher Erasmus. It reminds you that you can choose happiness at any time, but that the goal is that you aren't simply choosing happiness but BEING happiness.
There are days when the astrology says to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get on with the business of being happy.
It means change the things you can such as your spending habits if your finances suck, your eating habits if your health is in question, or your actions if they are keeping you up at night. And while many problems with finances, health or life in general are deep and not as easily solved, you can choose to make them your identity or simply a part of life you are walking thru.
This is the teaching of the skies today as Saturn retrogrades to 25° Pisces, the degree at which it will go direct on November 27th. This invites you to move into a greater degree of faith about what you can accomplish when you align with God Universe. And this is short window, a short period of time to really lock things in. Once Saturn moves off that 25° mark it won't be back for 29 years.
Create a life that is indicative of what you would choose for yourself by choosing for that life for yourself.
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)

LUNAR PHASES
The moon acts as a guiding light within the night sky and humans have used it to orient themselves within time and space since the dawn of our existence. However, our connection to the moon goes beyond practicality. Looking up at the moon evokes a sense of comfort, and its beauty is inspirational. As much as our planet has changed, for better or for worse, the moon remains consistent with its cycles. This sense of stability offers us wisdom, and each period of the lunar cycle represents a different stage of growth. I was inspired to write this post after reading a fascinating article that is titled, “Effects of different phases of the lunar month on humans.” The Author, Ujjwal Chakraborty, explored the ways in which the lunar cycle exerts influence upon human psychology and physiology. Chakraborty states, “The altered autonomic neural activity and cardiovascular activity during different lunar phases is probably one of the fundamental causes of the changes of human physiology.”(2014) The autonomic nervous system regulates heart rate, digestion, respiration, blood pressure, and sexual arousal. Any changes that occurs within the autonomic nervous system is going to affect human behavior. To see a spiritual phenomenon be explained through scientific research is incredibly thought provoking; this leads me to believe that the spiritual meanings attached to each lunar phase must hold a certain amount of truth to them. If anyone is interested, the article can be found here. Chakraborty has a few other articles dedicated to lunar research that are also quite compelling. If this information intrigues you, I’d recommend looking into “The Transylvania Effect.”
I. Lunar Phase Personalities
Click here to calculate the lunar phase you were born under.
✰ New Moon - Individuals born under this phase tend to be psychic and are gifted in their ability to acknowledge the unseen. They represent new beginnings and trust their inner instincts. This can make them rather impulsive at times. New moon babies seek out adventure and are dedicated to the process of learning. They want to experience all that life has to offer them and are not afraid to dream big. This is the only phase of the moon that is absent of light, and because of this new moon babies naturally stand out from the rest. They also make for efficient leaders because their emotions and ego are in alignment. However, they’re not the types to seek attention and would prefer to work behind the scenes. Their introverted qualities and reserved nature spark a lot of intrigue. People born under this phase can find potential within any endeavor and always have a fresh perspective to offer up. Learning how to embrace the unknown is a major life lesson for these types.
✰ Waxing Crescent - These types can appear timid, but once you get to know them they are incredibly lively individuals who are full of curiosity. They prefer to stick to the things that they know and might struggle with accepting change. People born under a waxing crescent moon might get stuck within the past at times. Being courageous is something they struggle with. However, they still feel a desire to go out and explore, but they will approach these adventures with a practical mindset. Waxing crescent babies are attached to their comfort zone and are good at maintaining this even when chasing after new experiences. They are also good at finding the right people to associate with. Security is everything to these types, and they prefer to build deep relationships with people who will be in their life for a very long time. I’ve noticed that these individuals might feel more awkward than they come across. They are perfectionist and struggle with self criticism, they might get stuck within their own head during social exchanges.
✰ First Quarter - There are not many individuals born under a first quarter moon, which makes these types out to be rather unique. These people are the “main characters,” and they know it. They are not afraid to take charge of their own lives and are highly ambitious. Individuals born under this phase are not dependent upon admiration or attention. The only person they’re looking to impress is themselves. First quarter babies embrace challenges. The more challenges a situation throws at them, the more likely they are to succeed. The type of person who never backs down, they love putting their skills and talents to the test. Someone looking for a solution is going to be drawn to an individual born under a first quarter moon. Their strong personalities invoke action within other people and they serve as a source of inspiration. These individuals become unstoppable once they develop patience and learn how to wait.
✰ Waxing Gibbous - A sense of maturity is immediately evident within these individuals. They are natural caretakers and people often seek them out to be nurtured. Waxing gibbous babies have a calm presence that elicits a sense of peace within others. These types maneuver social situations with grace and making friends comes easy to them. They inspire other people to be better, and some might try to emulate them. Other people notice their potential and can see what they’re capable of achieving, but individuals born under this phase struggle to see it within themselves. They might feel life they somehow always fall short or will tell themselves that they are not “enough.” This is the opposite of how people are perceiving them. They must learn how to care for themselves in the same way they care for other people. Developing a deep sense of self love is vital for waxing gibbous babies.
✰ Full Moon - Individuals born under this phase are filled to the brim with energy. They might come across as more aggressive than they intend to be. Learning how to gain control over their emotions is a major life lesson for these types. Full moon babies might feel as though they are being pulled in two opposite directions. Their ego and emotions are not in alignment, they feel stuck between passion and logic. Sometimes they will chase after their desires even if that's not what's actually best for them. They can see themselves going in many different directions and it can be hard for them to choose just one. This indecisive behavior frustrates other people, especially those who depend on them. These individuals will find more success once they develop a sense of consistency within their lives. Their sense of creativity is deserving of focus and should not be overlooked. As much as their spontaneous nature might frustrate people, they also bring with them a sense of excitement and this is greatly appreciated.
✰ Waning Gibbous - People born under this phase are often sought after for their wisdom and ability to teach. These old souls are great at communicating their thoughts and learning comes easy to them. It is unlikely that they will have to be taught the same lesson twice, they are not the types to make the same mistakes over and over again. However, being judgmental of others may be a struggle. These individuals need to understand that not everyone is going to learn as quickly as they do. They might become frustrated watching their friends running into the same issues over and over again and will offer up unsolicited advice. It would be best to let people come to them, people will ask for help if they need it. These types tend to place themselves within positions of authority and might struggle with their listening skills. They’re often caught lecturing people when really they should be listening.
✰ Third Quarter - These types are sentimental individuals who are capable of finding deep meaning within everyday life. They hold an appreciation for the little things and show gratitude for what they have. Third quarter babies become easily attached, it can be hard for them to move on from the past. They take things slowly and aren’t likely to be caught up within a rush. Their loyalty is often taken for granted, as well as their kindness. They are commonly found within their own little world. Nostalgia maintains a strong hold upon these types. However, this connection to the past can create unpleasantries within their present life. They may be quick to forgive, but that doesn't mean they’re over it. Sometimes this can be unfair, third quarter babies need to learn how to let go of the past when it's for the best.
✰ Waning Crescent - The ultimate day dreamers. Waning crescent babies have an extremely active imagination and are highly creative. They often have visions of what's to come and very little takes them by surprise. People are drawn to their deep insight and are attracted to their unconventional personalities. These types have a mystical presence, it seems as if they are from another world. Their opinions are uniquely theirs, which can sometimes lead to them being outcasted. However, they thrive when alone and oftentimes complete their best creative work during these moments. Throughout life, they remain true to themselves and are not afraid to embrace their eccentric qualities. They have lots of unconventional wisdom to offer. Many of these types are psychic and are in touch with the spiritual realm, but don’t quite realize this. Learning to embrace and trust their intuition is a big lesson for these types.
II. Living in Alignment with the Lunar Cycle
✰ New Moon - Plant your seeds. This is a time to set new intentions and begin new projects. Take it easy by planning a relaxing night in so you can get in touch with yourself. Forget about the past so you can focus on what's best for the present moment. Journal about your hopes and dreams and think about the steps you can take within the next week to get closer to your desires. Burn a white candle, and incorporate the smell of tangerine, lemon, and jasmine into your routine.
✰ Waxing Crescent Moon - This is the time to be productive. Make sure to partake in healthy habits, give yourself an extra hour of sleep by going to bed early. Continue to build upon the goals you set for yourself during the new moon. Practice meditation to remain focused within daily life. Eat a meal that would be beneficial for your health. Burn a green candle and incorporate the smell of bergamot, cedarwood, and ginger into your routine.
✰ First Quarter Moon - Take time to focus on what's working for you and what isn’t. What tweeks need to be made within your daily routines and habits? Try to complete any tasks you’ve been putting off under this lunar phase. Go for a walk and listen to music that energizes you. Burn a red candle and incorporate the smell of patchouli, lemon and ylang ylang into your routine.
✰ Waxing Gibbous Moon - Practice patience and journal about the times in your life in which you persevered. Focus on the progress you’ve made thus far and show gratitude for what you have. Try to complete whatever preparations are needed for the next few days so they will run more smoothly. Burn a yellow candle and incorporate the smell of rose or juniper into your routine.
✰ Full Moon - Celebrate all the work you’ve completed by doing activities that bring you happiness. Have a fun night out with friends, take yourself out to your favorite restaurant. This would be a good time to focus on socialization. Make an effort to show your friends and family some love. Burn a pink candle and incorporate the smell of sandalwood, cardamom and cinnamon into your routine.
✰ Waning Gibbous Moon - Take time to reflect on the lessons you’ve learned within the past couple weeks. This would be a great time to declutter your space. Make an effort to let go of any disappointment or minor inconveniences that have been bothering you. Be kind to yourself and journal about the opportunities certain failures have brought you. Burn a light blue candle and incorporate the smell of lavender and tea tree into your routine.
✰ Last Quarter Moon - Remove yourself from your burdens by engaging your mind with relaxing activities. This would be a good time to sit within nature. Read a book, watch one of your favorite tv shows or movies. Journal about recent frustrations so you can get them off your chest. Practice forgiveness for yourself and for others. Burn an indigo candle and incorporate the smell of peppermint and eucalyptus into your routine.
✰ Waning Crescent Moon - Prepare yourself a comfort meal and draw a hot bath. Stretch your body and practice breathing exercises. Give yourself a massage or ask someone else to give you one. Focus on what you are drawn to as well as the desires that are developed while in a state of relaxation, try to write them down. Burn a purple candle and incorporate the smell of frankincense, sage, and lavender.

Psyche Asteroid (16)
Psyche’s meaning in birth charts:
Where you have to put up with envy
Where you attract rivalry and challenges linked with that
Where you feel a need to put on a persona
Where you feel a permanent sense of inadequacy and are unable to find true fulfillment in the real
Where you give into curiosity and superficiality
Where you have to acknowledge that things will not be perfect
Where you fail to see your true beauty
You will be able to overcome suicidal thoughts if they present themselves, finding strength to overcome obstacles
If Psyche (16) is prominent in your natal birth chart (IE making aspects to your personal planets, even to your Pluto and Chiron), you will experience this archetype at some point in your life.
Justification for my interpretation:
Envy is a prominent feature of Psyche’s story. Envy is wanting what someone else has, to the point where they may go to great length’s to sabotage the person that they envy. Aphrodite envies Psyche’s beauty and Psyche’s sisters envy her opulence. Aphrodite tries to take Psyche as her slave when she finds out that Eros fell in love with her, and her sisters try to instill doubt in Psyche about her husband. So wherever Psyche is in in your birth chart is where you will attract your rivals.
Psyche’s story also represents personas (the mask that we present to our external world, which typically does not represent who we are internally; we may even be empty inside). All the opulence that she lives in contrasts with the emptiness and loneliness that she feels, that without Eros, she’d likely have no one to be herself with. This story shows that we need to learn to trust ourselves and to find our inner strength. We need to integrate with our animus.
Psyche believes that to win back Eros love, she needs to become more beautiful, so she opens a box of Persephone’s beauty but this kills her. This shows that though we may be very beautiful on the outside, true beauty is believing it ourselves. Self-love is unconditional, however, and that’s why when she dies she is reunited with Eros (the God of love). No matter how dismal your self-belief, no other type of love triumphs that of the love that accepts and redeems imperfection and temptation.
If Psyche aspects your ascendant or is in your first house, you may feel ugly on the inside, not being able to acknowledge your outer beauty, thinking that outer beauty will attract love, etc. You need to build self-confidence in your inner beauty. You are probably quite beautiful with this Psyche placement.
If Psyche aspects Pluto in your birth chart, the archetype of Psyche may be dramatically activated at some point in your life and it will offer the opportunity for great internal growth, a death/rebirth process, and a chance to become stronger, to transform yourself for the better. This could be traumatic if Psyche also aspects your Chiron.
If Psyche is in your 11th house in an intuitive sign like Pisces (an example for how you would interpret Psyche in a house and sign), then people envy you for having an abundance of friends, for your social media following, and for having an intuitive grasp of the group you’re a part of. In Pisces, their presumptions may not be your reality. While others see you have an intuitive grasp of the groups you’re part of, the reality may be you feel foggy-headed in these contexts and perhaps shy and sensitive (Pisces) Yet this is what you cave into (where you would give into temptation as you believe it would lead to love). Still, others may take you on as a rival as they try to pursue the same. You may not feel your true self in a group of people, always having to repress who you are beneath your mask. Psyche in Pisces means you are more vulnerable to external deception, to being made scared by those who envy you, and to losing confidence in love.
If Psyche is in your 6th house in Scorpio, people envy you for being on top of your routine, for your knack of taking care of your fitness and health, or for your relationship with colleagues and for being dedicated and determined in this regard. This may lead you to attract competition and rivalry and people wanting to damage this for you. You don’t feel like yourself in the 6th H– even though others are intimidated by your discipline, you hide your obsessiveness for routine under a veneer of passion so that you can win others’ love. So routine and work feel superficial for you and you may feel empty here. In Scorpio this increases the frightening power of your Unconscious and you feel a compulsion to continuously sweep it under the rug.
What Your Venus Sign Really Shows About What Pulls You In
Venus is usually thought of as the planet of love, but if you look at it another way, it actually reveals what you naturally reach for in life to feel satisfied. This is not about romance or feelings. It is about the environments, people, and objects that grab your attention and give life a little sweetness. Each Venus sign has its own kind of magnetism and knowing it can explain why you notice some things immediately while ignoring others. Here is a breakdown of what each Venus sign tends to seek out.
Venus in Aries: You get pulled toward things that move fast or hit hard. Bright colors, noisy streets, or tools that get work done right away grab you. People who act first and think later catch your eye. You like being in places that feel alive, not slow or quiet. If it is boring or overly safe, you just tense up. You notice action more than detail. You want quick results and little waiting around. You like things that wake you up and keep you alert.
Venus in Taurus: You are drawn to things that feel solid or comfortable. Soft blankets, steady routines, warm food. People who are calm and predictable make you feel good. You notice textures, smells, and small signs of stability. You go after spaces that feel safe and homey. Mess or sudden changes stress you. You look for things that last and can be relied on. Earthy or natural places appeal to you. You like slow, steady pleasures more than excitement.
Venus in Gemini: You can not resist variety and curiosity. Quick talkers, interesting facts, or new ideas grab you fast. People who change often or keep you guessing are appealing. Busy streets, open markets, or noisy rooms feel alive. You get restless if things are quiet or predictable. You want things that make you think or notice small differences. Switching from one thing to another feels natural. You like having options and moving fast. Learning while doing grabs your attention.
Venus in Cancer: You go for comfort and safety naturally. Soft light, familiar smells, cozy corners feel good. People who seem nurturing without asking for it attract you. You notice when places feel protective or private. You avoid cold, hard, or harsh spaces. Warmth in objects or people feels like home. You go for quiet security over excitement. Things that feel familiar and soft pull you in. You like gentle, safe spaces more than bright chaos.
Venus in Leo: You notice bold, bright, and loud things automatically. People who are confident or stand out get your attention. Colors, patterns, or objects that feel dramatic pull you in. You enjoy places where people or things can shine. Simple, dull, or quiet spaces drain your energy. You like gestures that show effort. You look for strength and visibility in people. Life feels sweeter where performance or presence matters. You notice when something or someone stands out fast.
Venus in Virgo: You are drawn to neatness, order, and usefulness. Organized shelves, clear paths, clean rooms catch your eye. People who are careful or competent feel attractive. You notice small details others miss. Mess, clutter, or chaos irritate you. Functional, practical things pull you in. You like things that work without fuss. You instinctively check if something will last or fit properly. Efficiency feels satisfying without needing to explain it.
Venus in Libra: You are drawn to balance, calm, and pleasant shapes. People who look or act graceful attract you. Symmetry in rooms, clothes, or objects catches your eye. Spaces where people get along naturally feel good. Discord or rough combinations make you uncomfortable. You like things that feel even and smooth. Beauty in coordination or relationships stands out for you. You notice when things fit together easily. Harmony feels easier than struggle.
Venus in Scorpio: You go for intensity, depth, and mystery. People who are serious or secretive pull you in. Dark corners, quiet spaces, or hidden things feel magnetic. You notice what has strength beneath the surface. Safe or shallow places feel boring. Things with sharp edges or strong feelings attract your focus. You want experiences that challenge you. You instinctively notice what others hide. Secrets and intensity feel alive and satisfying.
Venus in Sagittarius: You are pulled toward open space, freedom, and change. Wide views, travel, or new directions excite you. People who are adventurous or unpredictable attract your attention. Small, closed, or static spaces bore you. You want ideas, sights, or experiences that stretch you. Movement and variety feel satisfying. You like things that show perspective. Exploring and learning while moving feels natural. You notice energy that is restless or seeking more.
Venus in Capricorn: You are drawn to structure, strength, and usefulness. Solid buildings, organized schedules, and durable items catch your eye. People who carry responsibility naturally feel strong. You notice order and skill in both people and objects. Chaos or weak setups push you away. You like things that last and do their job well. Predictable routines feel satisfying. You naturally look for signs of competence. You prefer things that can be counted on to perform.
Venus in Aquarius: You go for originality, strangeness, and freedom. Odd or unexpected things attract you. People who act differently or think outside the usual grab attention. Places that allow freedom, ideas, or creativity pull you in. Predictable or common setups feel dull. You notice people who are clever or unique. Innovation or odd patterns feel exciting. You like spaces that encourage self-expression. Difference and independence feel satisfying naturally.
Venus in Pisces: You are drawn to soft, fluid, and dreamy things. Water, music, gentle lights, and textures feel good. People who are sensitive, kind, or a bit mysterious pull you in. You notice things that melt together or blur edges. Harsh, angular, or rigid spaces push you away. You like calm, quiet, and absorbing environments. Gentle movement or smooth transitions attract attention. You naturally go for comfort and escape. You feel pulled toward places and people that soothe or inspire imagination.
