bathed in starlight

Lots of water in these charts which can indicate strong emotional bonds even if they are, ahem, tumultuous at times. Life’s no fun through clear waters as the poet Addison Rae once said.

So I do want to start off talking about Barou just kind of in a general sense. I don’t mean to offend anyone or be out of touch so forgive me but when it comes to Cancer energy we sort of see it as intrinsically maternal regardless of the gender of the person with the placements. It is homey and warm at its best, reminding you of a hug you need on your worst days effortlessly. It is nitpicky and finicky at its most difficult, giving little and expecting a lot regardless of its own contributions because don’t you see all it does for you? Don’t you appreciate it? We see this energy a lot in him canonically which is why it made me chuckle so hard to go down the list and see Cancer, Cancer, Cancer, Cancer in placements where this mothering energy is going to be particularly strong anyway.

I will say as far as rising signs for him go, he’s a true Leo to me. King of the jungle not just in his own mind but in those of others as well. The luminaries (Leo and Cancer, sun and moon) shine even brighter when paired together and I love seeing them in a chart. Makes for someone who is more or less destined to be well known for something. Not necessarily famous although he is but even without soccer, he would’ve made a name for himself.

I think there is a touch of defiance in you. Aries moon is a bit insubordinate in nature and I don’t mean this negatively whatsoever, it just simply isn’t in the mood to be ruled over at times. Bold and brash, you feel things strongly and you can be stubborn but also extremely forthcoming about why you’re being stubborn. Aries ascendant functions like this as well, in fact it’s probably the very thing he’d pick up about you. A challenge, someone he can really work hard to figure out. I also think his stubborn Taurus moon deeply appreciates this about you. You show up for yourself, you doggedly defend the people you love, you can be a bit hard on yourself emotionally at times but it all comes out in the wash in the end. You don’t punish yourself.

I’ve said many times that I’m a huge fan of a water Venus pairing and this is no exception. Scorpio feels very intensely, it can sometimes loyalty test or set up little challenges it expects a partner to figure out or complete. Cancer does this as well. If you really loved me, you’d know x about me is a very Cancerian thing to say and way to feel. Scorpio is all knowing. It’s extremely detail oriented and sees even the little things a person tries to hide, what someone else may perceive as flaws and imperfections in themselves are simply buried treasure to Scorpio.

Also a huge fan of a water 4 water mars because water automatically feels at home with those in the same element. You get each other. You’re magnetic and sometimes mysterious and come off as incredibly astute and capable. He comes off as emotionally intelligent, refreshingly honest in certain situations, and oddly approachable. The pair of you together are dynamic. He illuminates your dark spots with Cancer, you protect him when he wants to hide with Scorpio. Love it.
