Wish Upon a Star

It's time to do a little mini event for the lovely people on Tumblr. I'll be making paper stars with written wishes on them, and then offering them up to the celestials on the upcoming Flower Moon (May 1st) and the New Moon (May 16th). There's no limit to how many wishes you can submit - just be mindful to keep it to a sentence so it can fit on the paper. You can submit your wishes through this Google Form! It'll be open until 5PM EST, May 16th.

Spin the wheel to find out in which way your Magic begins to gradually transform your body?

However, I would imagine there are others out there like me who may be Saturn ruled but have other traits that aren't Saturnian in nature. For me, it involves being a bit too much of a ruminating dreamer for my own good, and Saturn having to reel me in from time to time.

I truly feel like that constitutes as protection in terms of safety, both physically and mentally.

Super curious to hear what other folks have to say though. 🪐

Honestly I don't know enough about astrology to declare if I am ruled by Saturn or not (Capricorn ASC), but I definitely feel that He has a big influence on my life and I feel a big pull towards Him, so much so that my first big planetary magic act was invoking Him (completely ignored that I'm a Cancer Moon and that it might have been a way better introduction lmao)

At first (even now, sometimes), I did feel what you're talking about, that my life has way more restrictions than that of the average person, and that I do not exactly have perks to compensate it.

Like, on top of having a standard of quality and conduct that I impose on myself that at times seems greater than of those around me, there's also a standard of conduct that's expected of me from the forces that be. My actions always had stronger consequences, and when I steer my life into a direction that is not for me a tower moment comes quickly and I'm forced to reevaluate and get back on a path that feels true to myself. And if I keep insisting (I'm stubborn as hell) it gets worse and worse until it all crumbles and I have no other choice.

My life also has a lot of restrictions that are not present in most people's lives. I'm chronically ill with a myriad of things, have been for my whole adult life, so if I want to live somewhat comfortably I have to restrict my diet and be pretty selective with what I spend my energy on or I will not be able to get out of bed and fulfill my obligations over the next days. I've lost whole semesters of uni because of this.

Magically, my path is not completely under my control. There are times when magic will stop working for anything other than medical necessities (it's not rare that I need a spell to find a good doctor quickly because the waiting list is literal months and I have something urgent, those never fail). I just got permission from my guides to do magic again after months where they pulled the brakes on me because they thought I'd resort to entities that could be detrimental to me (I was deep in the depths of my depression in the later months of the last year, so I understand their worries).

I'm not saying all of this is because of Saturn!!! As I said, my own guides are also like this. I just think these are all big coincidences and that makes me relate and feel closer to the planet of restrictions, rather than thinking He caused my illnesses or anything like it.

About the hardships, I see it as more of a "if you're choosing a path that will lead to your unhappiness (or worse) we are not gonna help you bury yourself further" thing, you know? Those moments most of the time come when I insist on something I know is not for me, so I see them more of consequences of my actions and stubborness than anything.

I'm also a Scorpio Sun, so the Pluto-Saturn combo is an experience lol

Putting your own name in a jar of protective water and herbs is essentially gonna cook you in there. You put something in a jar to prevent breathability or energy flow. Glass isn't porous, it's a solid that nothing gets through. You're building your own coffin.

There's a reason why glass jars are used to stop someone's influence and why fabric is used for charms when you want that influence to flow. Cloth in breathable, glass is not.

Does anybody here have a highly potent sweetening spell that can be shared?

A string of back to back health problems has put me in risk of being expelled from my university due to the amount of absences I had this semester. The only thing I can to about it is to ask my professors to discount some of them so I will not be classified as "infrequent", but unfortunately I had classes with prideful ignorant assholes that are highly likely to just say that if my health is that big of a problem then I should not be there anyways. (not an exaggeration, I've heard professors saying this about other students before, and it's a quite common sentiment in academia.)

Insoluble Problems Solved Spell

Untie the knots that bind you!

Write an explicit description of your situation on brown paper

Wrap the paper around some knotgrass

Charge the packet with your desires, and then burn it.

Pay attention to your dreams and random words overheard; solutions will appear and you don't want to miss them.

(p. 759, The Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells, Judika Illes)

Why a success spell instead of a sweetening spell? So you know what is best to say or what information to these folks to convince them that you need an extension.
