Hi I'm Gwenny !

Rulers: Sun, Fire, Fixed

Affects: self-awareness, reflection on ego and expression, creativity, increased need for attention and validation, inspiration, drama and conflict as others project the face of their egos, courage, pride, splurging on material items, dramatic outbursts, events/actions taking place that seem like scenes from movies or performances, fertility, burst of confidence and self-worth, value/love for yourself and for others being tested

What It’s Good For: checking your ego, spending time with children, getting a haircut or a style makeover, express yourself honestly, self-care related activities, going to parties, artistic events, or concerts, creating something, realizing your worth and defending who you are, taking risks, putting yourself first, spending time playing and participating in leisure activities, express your romantic/passionate feelings, reflecting on your childhood / doing things that remind you of your childhood

rain: good conversations, acoustic guitar, living for themselves, twirling their umbrella, fairy lights, a little clumsy, unapologetic laughter

downpour: sharp eyes and a strong prescence, neon lights, inside jokes, hands in jacket pockets, friendly competition, sneakers hitting the pavement

hail: being alone in the movies, artistic, comfortable but fashionable, polaroids, unorganized, kind hearts, doesn’t want your pity

snow: still mornings, humble, always sleepy, piano keys, curly hair, a favourite sweater, soft hands to hold, indecisive

sleet: ink on paper, tired but bright eyes, tattered jeans, always changing, midnight coffee on the balcony, knit scarves
