#for refernce

1. god i was really transparently trans and in pain, no wonder the community "failed" to encourage me to leave??? why was that so...*not* obvious to me at the time? did i not hear myself?

i tag for organisation mainly, and i also tag for content bc im a supporter of ppl having the right to have control over the content they want to see. however, afaik, most filtering/blocking nowadays works on text, meaning that if pineapple is something you don’t wanna see, and the post contains the word pineapple, there’s no need to tag it pineapple as well.

i will tag stuff that doesn’t include the word, or might not have one easy word to cover it (like unreality for example) and if there’s other stuff you would like me to tag pls say so

i will not, however, be tagging the word queer as a slur or censoring it. there’s no need, if you don’t wanna see the word you can block it directly and im not gonna contribute to the nonsense.

Saturn, planet of daddy archetypes and diligence, has been forcing us to go back and check our work in the sign of Sagittarius for the last two and half years. Sagittarius is the sign of ardent, passionate faith in wherever we’re headed next. It thrives on leaping, bounding, ricocheting, and bursting into sparks. It trusts that the right trajectory will always be the one it happens to take. While Saturn moved through Sagittarius, we collectively felt our faith challenged and our joy more hard-won. Mythologies proliferated, mass movements arose and faltered, and the most encouraging moments of the past few years burned against the sky like a shower of sparks from a fire that kept leaping from tree to tree, trying to jump the gaps where there was nothing to feed it. Saturn keeps us careful, and many have been conserving resources like joy, connection, optimism, and adventure—while still dreaming of a world that offers these in abundance.

With Saturn in Capricorn for the next few years, we are turning a corner. One the one hand, Sagittarius energy will feel less easier again, more buoyant and immersive. But our collective energy for serious, hard work will be focused on the sign of longterm strategy, environmental conservation, and what it means to build anything sustainably. Capricorn is a sign of working with reality: with the exact mess we’re in right now, with the tools at hand, with a blueprint and a repair manual, with the dogged persistence that is the only way shit ever gets done. Saturn in Capricorn brings us all into direct contact with the reality of our lives. Moving into this Saturn cycle, we’re panning back from easy wins and grand ambitions and learning how to buckle down and build something longterm—more vastly ambitious, but more humbly assembled, with patience and rigorous testing.

From these last few years of wild shots in the dark, what are you wanting to hold onto and take more seriously? This a year that rewards focusing on exactly what matters to you most, and learning what you’ll need to make it a reality. This month also ends with a lunar eclipse in Leo, reminding us that we must bring our full hearts, passions, and playfulness into this project of becoming serious.

Capricorn:

In a series of dreams I had about what this month would look like for you, we spent every night pulling some kind of heist. The one that mattered most was when we broke into the office of your philosophy professor to steal both his research and his bonsai trees, which were really an old-growth spruce forest in miniature, arrayed across his desk in pots that resembled decaying nurse logs. The needles of these trees were infinitely fine and seemed to reflect a more condensed crystallized sunlight. The reason this last heist mattered most is that our mission was both to destroy and to rescue—the two could not be unlinked. Bear this in mind as you begin 2018: the next few years will be a balancing act between destruction and conservation. Be bold, be wise, and be patient.
