sun in leo / sun in cancer (pushya) warning: advanced!

already starting out advanced, my bad. but i do wanna point this out first because i want to show you guys why exactly i love studying sidereal astrology, and why i think it's just so precise and honestly probably even more accurate than typical tropical astrology that you see everywhere. it's because of the constellations or otherwise known as the nakshatras. there are 27 of them, and they are basically like, a deeper layer into the 12 zodiac signs.

keith's chart showing which of the 27 constellations his planets fall into! - ✧

using the different constellations helps us get more specific into his energies than just using the 12 zodiac signs.

ever wondered why keith & nick are both leo's yet act completely different? it's because while their suns are in tropical leo, their suns are in two completely different constellations, meaning the way their energies manifest will be different! also, in the sidereal zodiac, their sun's are in separate signs, with nick's sun being in sidereal leo, and keith's sun being in sidereal cancer. nick's sun is in the constellation of magha, while keith's is in the constellation of pushya, these are very different energies, with their own separate rulerships and unique meanings.

left is nick's chart showing his sun being located in magha, right is keith's sun being located in pushya!

as you can see, the constellations are separated even further into 4 parts, called the padas. but even for me that's a bit too advanced, i haven't fully done research into that, yet. i definitely know somethings but not a ton. but anyways, do you see how specific sidereal astrology can get? this is what i love about it! it allows for precision where western astrology doesn't! that's not to discredit western astrology, as i still use it regularly! but i study the sidereal chart side by side with the western chart, and even borrow some concepts from western and use it when i read in sidereal!

but now with that introduction out of the way...

keith's sun in pushya literally fits him entirely and explains why he is so disciplined! pushya is ruled by saturn, and keith has a pushya stellium, with his sun, mercury and venus all being in that constellation. saturn is the planet of restriction, seriousness, long term gratification, and of course, discipline. saturn represents elders, or older people, wisdom, etc., having multiple inner planets concentrated in this constellation, explains why he is less impulsive, and why he is naturally a more serious person.

i honestly giggle at how much he truly embodies this energy and how much nick embodies his magha energy, it's so interesting seeing their placements play out in real time.

pushya is also ruled by the moon, since, the nakshatra is located in the sign of cancer, so there is a hint of sensitivity, and nurturing energy there within him, which i find cute. the pushya constellation is literally symbolized by the cows utters, or cows milk, so people with this in their chart are usually very giving, and very nurturing people, think of it like a mother caring for her child. also people with this constellation do have a slight fascination with milk i've noticed.

also lol little sidenote, but this is totally why people will say keith looks or reminds them of toby maguire lol as tobey maguire has pushya rising in his birth chart. oh yeah! people with the same nakshatras, often share a resemblance in physical features to each other! this has been studied by loads of people, particularly by claire nakti which i highly recommend watching her youtube videos if you want to learn more about this because she does a shit ton of research that has really helped me learn!

his cluster of planets also being in the 9th house, 9th house represents things like higher levels of learning (university education, PHDs, etc.), traveling, philosophy, publishing, etc., entirely explains why he is extremely interested in these things, he literally owns a publishing company lmfao for his books.

also his 10th house ruler which is the sun, because the 10th house is ruled by leo (sidereal) and leo is ruled by the sun, so we look to where the sun is placed to find out more about that house, and in this case since it's placed in the 9th house, this indicates that his career (10th house) will have something to do with 9th house themes, which are the things i listed earlier, which we can all say that is true. his career is very embedded in 9th house topics.

jupiter in the 1st house

this doesn't require knowing sidereal concepts, as he has jupiter in the 1st house in both of the charts. anyways, this totally explains why jimbo on his last stream talking about us, said that keith is surprisingly more outgoing in real life (x). this could also apply to when nick met keith irl as well, saying he was suprised when keith suddenly asked him if they could go try to pick up some girls, and he said on stream, "people don't know that side to him.", that is most likely due to his jupiter in the 1st house!

i've said this before, but i recognize this energy as my previous male hyperfixation had this placement in his chart as well, and he too, had a persona of being quite private, but when people said they met him, he was very warm and open! this is due to jupiter's influence on the 1st house.

the 1st house in anyone's chart represents our literal personality. it's the most 'us' part in our charts. it's how we approach the world, what type of view we see the world in! etc., so when jupiter, the planet of optimism, luck, philosophy, is in the 1st house, this can make someone jovial, open and or just warm with how they interact with others. this also makes someone very philosophical in the way they see the world, which obviously fits keith to a t!

there's a difference in the way someone acts in public (10th house) verses how someone is when you actually meet them (1st house) and this 1st house jupiter shows that perfectly in my opinion! also just the fact that his tropical rising sign is in sagittarius already shows for a more philosophical personality, but then you add jupiter there, which literally rules the sign sagittarius, this just doubles that energy even more.

also sidenote: jimbo telling that story on stream completely confirmed to me that i do indeed have keith's correct birth chart, that he is indeed a tropical sag rising. thanks for that jimmy! ✧

sidereal scorpio asc (jyestha) warning: advanced!

while we're already talking about his 1st house, and thus his rising sign, i thought i'd dabble a bit into his ascendant and how i managed to correctly guess his rising sign.

i have a really good track record at guessing people's rising signs in the past, and i think me managing to guess keith's was all due to the help of how specific the constellations can get and how they've helped me narrow down what his potential rising sign could be, down to even the possible minute!

i was stuck on whether his rising sign constellation was either in jyestha or mula (which is the constellation right after jyestha) for the longest time, but what made me go with jyestha was using that method i said earlier. the one about how people with the same naks can look and share similar characteristics? well, another person keith is very often compared to, even he has said that people in real life tell him he looks like this person, is nicholas hoult, and what does nicholas hoult have in his chart? jyesthta sun.

“ok dolly, but that’s just one person.” ok, well, i looked at a few different famous people who also shared major jyestha placements (sun, moon or rising) and they all did share a resemblance to at least one or more of keith’s physical features. even i was shocked! phil lester for example, also has jyestha rising, and i have compared keith to him before without even knowing that phil had a (tropical sag) jyestha rising! this is what i meant when i said that keith looks like SAGS!

also him having jyestha asc with pluto in the 1st house is exactly why he has that very intense gaze / stare. what is it that nick calls it? the infj stare. scorpio and especially jyestha is an extremely intense energy. i have noticed that people with jyestha prominent in their chart tend to have the same piercing eyes or gaze that keith has. then you add his pluto being there in his 1st house and you'll most definitely have a person that comes across as intense to others for sure. this is balanced a bit by his jupiter being there, but the scorpio energy can still overpower this at times.

also this asc is partially why he is an activist, because jyestha's have a theme for fighting for what they believe in very strongly and feel it very passionately. scorpio and pluto is associated with transformation, so jyestha natives could want to transform society in some way, and this is why you can see some of them, like keith, become activists. also explains why he's quite analytical and logical, as the constellation of jyestha is ruled by mercury, the planet of the intellect.

lastly him being jyestha rising explains why he looks slightly emo and looks great in black also why he is a more secretive person, scorpios are notorious for being secretive little shits /affectionate. also why he is extremely pale, scorpio placements i've noticed can make someone pale almost like a vampire, they have that vibe to them. remember guys the asc is our literal physical appearance, how we show up in the world so these more scorpionic traits will show up in his demeanor, appearance, etc.

libra mars

one of my favourite placements of his to talk about tbh just because of how prominent it is and how much i see him act out this placement, it’s crazy lol. so mars represents our passions, our drive, the style in which we go about getting and doing things. of course, it can show how we are when we’re angry, and more. it’s usually more prominent in a male’s chart since men tend to act out their mars sign more. it’ll also show how men act like when they are in a relationship with someone, how they pursue, things like that.

so mars actually doesn't like to be in the sign of libra, it's in its detriment here. mars rules the signs of aries and scorpio, so the opposite signs of those two, which are libra and taurus, are where mars doesn't feel too comfortable in as it makes mars act more passive and mars wants to be direct!

keith having mars in libra explains everything about why he couldn't confront nick with the issues he had with him lmfao it's a very typical thing of mars in libra people to avoid confrontation #hardcore because they want everything to be peaceful. they want harmony, they don't like to legitimately be angry. this actually reminds me of that superchat someone sent on woodstown where they said, "what would keith woods look like while angry?", which is just so lol (x)

libra mars people are also known to talk about their issues with people to others, not even because they like to gossip, most often they don't, but because they are that afraid of confrontation and are curious about other people's opinions on what they should do, which is literally exactly what happened with keith and why he ranted about nick to someone else like goodbye, it being to a woman as well is so libra mars coded too, since the sign libra is ruled by is venus, and venus rules women.

him having this placement though makes him really diplomatic and nice to people. it reminds me of why he doesn't shit on steve sailer because he said he met him and was nice to him and that he also signed one of keith's books, so he doesn't want to be too mean to him lmfao. and like i've said in the past, him having mars in libra is also why this man loves to collaborate with other people, bro can never just do things by himself he always has to have at least one person with him. libra is an air sign, and air signs are social signs. you always see keith apart of like a group or a duo show, or always interviewing some random person who you probably don't even know, like ijbol it's honestly so funny seeing how much he does this.

i have a love-hate relationship with it since like i said in a post earlier, there are times where i wish he'd do more solo content but i also understand that this is the dynamic that he probably prefers and when it's great, it's great! woodstown and his collaboration with paul town is a perfect example of him shining when he's with another person, but there are also other times where it's honestly really lacking, and where it'd probably be better if he was just alone.

the main thing that pisses off mars in libra and where you will see them push back and fight is injustice and unfairness in the world, the true social justice warrior lmfao but in his case for nationalist politics, whether that’d be in their relationships with people or in the world. this probably explains more so his activism as well. his mars being in the house that represents politics, social reform and political groups (11th house) definitely solidifies that this is where he’ll get the most passionate and riled up at. it shows that he’ll actually go out and do stuff to try and make change, like that protest he attended in back in june. him being apart of the irish national party and regularly participates in their activities, etc., a lot of political people/activist types i've notice often have 11th house placements, e.g. nick having his mars and moon in the 11th house. but yeah you mix keith's 11th house libra mars in with his jyeshta asc and you have a true political activist on your hands.

in a relationship, it’s said people with this placement will be very romantic, like i said earlier, libra is ruled by the planet venus, venus rules things like love, socializing and romance! he’ll show very stereotypical displays of love, think like: a man buying a girl flowers, or a box of chocolates, being chivalrous, etc. venus also rules beauty, so he’d probably be the type to appreciate and acknowledge when you when you get all prettied up. and not only that but he’ll put effort into how HE looks as well, my sweetie pie, he practically admitted this when he said on woodstown that he only works out for beauty and to look good. libras are also massive people pleasers, so most likely he’ll genuinely want and even go out of his way to please his partners. he’s lowkey a #pussy eater with this placement ngl. i know that man eats box...

tropical moon in virgo / sidereal moon in leo (purva phalguni) warning: advanced!

while we're on the topic of romance, and venus, i really wanted to talk about this placement because it's so insane? yet i love it so much? ok so, his moon is in virgo but i don't ever really read for moon in virgo, or even leo, i always read it in his moon constellation which in sidereal astrology is considered the most important constellation in someone's chart. and anyways his moon in virgo is very simple to read, like it just makes him analytical and a perfectionist.

but now his moon in the constellation of purva phalguni really changes it all the way up, because purva phalguni is also ruled by venus, and this nakshatra is known for being extremely, and i mean extremely sensual. these people know how to have sex and how to do it very well, etc., it simply comes naturally to them. it’s said in ancient text that people with their moon in this nakshatra are experts in the art of romance. whenever i look into this placement, i always think like wow ok this is why he got the title of the rizzler lmfao

him having this moon constellation does show that he’ll most likely have a high sexual appetite. these are the men with high body counts ngl, like when nick said that he slays pussy, i do believe him, and when paul town said, “wow you’re ran through” in the pilot episode, it’s like yeah, no kidding. the men with this placement do tend to get in sexual scandals as well which i giggled when i read that cus obviously what happened to keith but also i thought of the different famous examples of other men with moon in purva phalguni, and thought of how true that was, like they all get into specifically scandals related to their love or sexual life lol

venusian men will make you feel loved like no one else, they’re excellent lovers, and that is why we #All need to experience keith woods love (U_U) ♥️ these people can be very generous as a sign of love as well. they want to give back the love that they receive which i feel like explains so much why he’s always so thankful for his supporters, my pookums…

these are also the type that need to be appreciated and complimented in a relationship. so honestly just gassing him tf up, hardcore glazing that type of stuff lmfao. if you do that, you’ll get that same energy in return. they want to feel seen, since this is in the sign of sideral leo after all.

this placement also explains why keith’s always described as a chiller! this constellation’s symbolized by the hammock or the bed. these natives like to go with the flow, are very laid back, aren’t bothered by a lot and like to take life easy. they usually have a reputation for being lazy, but because his moon is in the pada or part 2 of this nakshatra, it makes him more hardworking than if his moon was in the other pada of this constellation, which i do think is true, remember when he said he sometimes will sit down and just work on writing for 12 hours straight? lololol

last thing i'll say here is that his moon is in the 10th house, the 10th house is a more serious house, it represents our career, and public image, and is often regarded as the capricorn house, since capricorn is the 10th sign in the zodiac, so people often say whatever planet is in it will possess a bit of capricornian traits, so when the moon is here, it can make someone want to be very disciplined when it comes to their emotions in the public eye, since the moon rules the emotions. which i think is why he presents himself as so unemotional outwardly. these are the people that don't want to show others their weaknesses and do usually think about how they are viewed by others.

saturn in the 5th house

this will be the last thing i talk about here, maybe i could make a part two if people are genuinely interested, but i fear i've bombarded you guys with a shit ton of information already, so it's probably overwhelming, especially if you don't know much about astrology as it is lol, which i'm assuming that is most if not all of you.

so in his western chart, his saturn is in his 4th house, but i do believe that his sidereal saturn, which is located in the 5th house instead is more accurate here, and i'll tell you why.

5th house is the house that shows our creativity, but it's also the house of having fun, and just letting loose! now with saturn being there, which if you read the first section you'll know that saturn is the opposite of having fun, it's about taking things seriously. so the planet of seriousness placed in the house of fun, that usually means these people don't really know how to properly "have fun" so to speak lol which i think is relevant since i think about all the times nick has said on his shows how keith is too stiff and takes things too seriously, and how he'd wish he'd loosen up and that even when keith was in their private group chat he'd always talk about politics, while nick and his friends would talk about stupid dumb stuff lmfao and i think this placement explains exactly why he is like that! lmao

this placement also explains why he is a man of few words because saturn when placed in the 5th house, aspects the 3rd house by its 10th aspect. the 3rd house is the house of our speech and communication, when saturn is aspecting this house it can mean that we don’t speak unless we’re spoken to, or that when we speak, we like to speak about more serious things, or that we speak little or few words, etc. that’s why nick always says when keith answers his questions he usually says it in short one off words. that’s because of this aspect, it makes him less of a talker.

now keith does have some balancing energies here, i think his jupiter in the 1st house can be one of them which will make him warm to others, his moon in purva phalguni is another because purva phalguni (i forgot to mention) can also be the called the party animal nakshatra, which would explain when dalton said he was a party animal at the afpac house parties, lol but, ultimately this placement of his will make him a tad bit more restricted in this area of life somehow. it could mean that he wants and likes to have fun but he will often times self-restrict himself in having it, or discipline himself often times instead of fully letting go, or it could manifest as his version of fun is simply just different from a lot of people’s versions. it doesn’t help that he’s extremely saturn ruled (his cluster b of planets, sun, merc, venus & even his jupiter all being in a saturn-ruled constellation, pushya)

i would say in total these are the planets he's ruled by: mercury-ruled (asc), venus-ruled (moon & mars) & very saturn ruled (the planets i listened above this) based on the constellations alone.
