Zodiac Bitches

Three years ago, my dog went viral on Imgur and Reddit, thanks to this picture I took right after she’d yanked down a post from the front of our house with her bare strength.

But like the image above says, this is not a good post.

That dog above, the one that made so many people laugh, her name is Eva, and she’s my 7-year-old lab. She was just diagnosed with canine lymphoma.

Without chemo, she only has 3 months left with us. But her oncologist has given her a good prognosis with chemotherapy. She could live to see her 9th, 10th, and even 11th birthday.

Which means more years of this happy, ridiculous puppy.

The price to extend her life? $8500.

I nearly died when I saw the number. I’m paying off 4 student loans right now, and my parents are in insurmountable debt. I thought, this is it, we’re screwed. In between crying spells and anxiety attacks, I realized what my choices were: give up and let Eva go in the next 3 months, or crowdfund my ass off.

Internet: you’ve done it before, now I’m begging you, do it again. Spread Eva like wildfire. She deserves a second chance. She deserves the extra time, and all the fun and happiness she’ll have in that time.

Here is the link to her gofundme.

anyone who reblogs Eva’s post from now until July 8th will get an AUTOMATIC FOLLOW from me! (except porn blogs! i wont make that mistake a 2nd time!!)

Eva is SO CLOSE to her goal \(^o^)/

CHIRON: THE WOUNDED HEALER

Chiron represents our deepest wounds and our abilities to heal the wounds of others. The Wounded Healer integrates one’s experiences of pain and loss into compassion and understanding of the trials of others. In other words, the trials one has faced in their life gives them the empathy necessary to heal those struggling with the same problems. 

CHIRON IN THE SIGNS

Aries:Deepest wounds are in the sense of self. One may go on a journey of self discovery and overcome feelings of worthlessness throughout their life. They feel they are not worth love or respect, yet love others easily and respect everyone.

Taurus: Reflects wounds in self worth. People with this placement may feel neglected or experienced an abundance of negative attention. They feel like they never have “enough” of something, and try to fill this gap with material goods.

Gemini: Wounds regarding communication. May be extremely shy, have a speech impediment or stutter that causes them to feel shame for how they communicate. They may feel they cannot communicate clearly or feel their intelligence is inadequate. 

Cancer: Deepest wounds are in their experience of care. They feel alienated, unloved, uncared for. They find it difficult to let others care for them, yet are extremely nurturing to others. They feel they lack a home, yet are a home to others.

Leo: Deepest wounds regarding expression. They feel they have been overlooked or unappreciated. They may feel awkward and untalented, or like they have never been given the chance to prove their talents. Their creative abilities may have been stifled by parents forcing them to perform or suppressing their abilities.

Virgo: Wounds concerning health. They feel that things that are wrong cannot be fixed. They are obsessed with details and are extremely self critical, or they just give up on perfection and don’t put effort into anything. They heal others, but cannot heal themselves. 

Libra: Wounds concerning relationships. May have had bad experiences with personal relationships, or watched their parents go through a bad relationship. They may be codependent or allow themselves to stay in abusive relationships, because they have a fear of being alone. They need to learn they are a whole person by themselves.

Scorpio: Deepest wounds regarding death. They may have lost loved ones early in life, or feel that a part of them has died. They fear their own power or feel powerless. They know the value of human life, and therefore endlessly worry about their loved ones dying or losing everything they have. They are excellent at helping others with their grief or stress. 

Sagittarius: Wounds regarding tradition and spirituality. They are unable to find solace in spirituality, or cannot settle with one belief. They feel they have no inner wisdom or deep understanding. They feel confined to a basic, mundane existence, yet see the higher powers in everyone and everything.

Capricorn: Deepest wounds lie in work. They feel ignored or unrecognized, and may have been rejected in childhood. They may be workaholics or control freaks, or on the contrary resist any kind of structure or control. They feel like they work harder than others, but reap no fruit for their efforts.

Aquarius: Deepest wounds in friendships and conformity. They feel alone, “different”. They don’t fit in. They may have trouble making friends or keeping friends. They may also have problems accepting those who are not like them, or withdraw from society. 

Pisces Deepest wounds in the mind. They are always in a midst of a crisis; they feel like they never catch a break, that the universe is against them. They always feel like they are the victim, or may feel perpetually guilty for no reason. They are confused, and lost. They may be at risk for depression or drug use.

CHIRON IN THE HOUSES

1st House: Deepest wounds lie in one’s identity and self expression. They often feel unworthy of self respect and self love, and struggle to find meaning in their existence. They feel like they lack an identity, or that who they are is not good enough, and may try to change themselves to become someone they feel is worthy of love and respect. They are excellent at helping others “find themselves” and will set aside their own interests and own happiness to please others, but have a hard time doing the same for themselves. 

2nd House: Deepest wounds lie in one’s self worth. People with this placement feel as though everything they have ever had has been taken away from them, and therefore fail to see the worth in themselves as they are, feeling like they are worth nothing if they don’t have “enough” to offer. They may try to fill this lack with material goods. They see the true value of others at a glance, although they can’t see their own worth.

3rd House: Deepest wounds lie in communication, or lack thereof. They feel misunderstood or not listened to. In earlier life they may have experienced verbal abuse that caused a feeling of inadequacy and low self esteem that lasted through adulthood. Although people with this placement are the voice for those who can’t speak for themselves, can easily stand up for those being bullied or hurt, they don’t feel like their words are worth as much as others.

4th House: Deepest wounds lie in family life. People with this placement can come from a broken home or an otherwise home environment that was unhealthy and damaging. They feel rejected or alienated by those closest to them, and may spend their life trying to escape from their past. They are forgiving and nurturing to others, trying to give to others the love and acceptance they never experienced.

5th House: Deepest wounds reside in creative expression. Those with this placement have been held from doing the things they love, and can be afraid to do what they truly enjoy. While they are excellent in encouraging others to be themselves and do what they love, they lack the bravery to do the same themselves. They must learn that it is okay to do things just because they like to. 

6th House: Deepest wounds lie in health. They are preoccupied with their health and may have been sickly as a child. They feel a constant need to improve themselves, yet feel like they never actually improve. Those with this placement have a difficult time following a routine, yet are able to organize and help others; on the flip side, they may be extremely strict with themselves but encourage others to relax and love themselves.

7th House: Deepest wounds lie in close relationships. Those with this placement often witnessed their parents divorce or having a bad relationship. This results in fear and uneasiness concerning their own relationships. They feel rejected and unloved by their partners. They may avoid getting too close to people, and ironically fear abandonment. 

8th House: Deepest wounds lie in death, sex, and resources. This placement can manifest in many different ways; physically, a person might be too dependent on others or have had others be overly dependent on them. They might feel unsatisfied with their sex life, or had painful experiences with sex. They may have painful memories associate with death, possibly the death of parents or close friends. They are able to please others sexually, but not themselves. They can console those emotionally wrought but are unable to make themselves feel better. 

9th House: Deepest wounds lie in growth. They may experience painful questionings of faith throughout their life, may go through different “phases” of belief trying to find the right system to make them happy. They can be close-minded and unwilling to open their mind, yet make good teachers. They cling desperately to their beliefs, yet encourage others to broaden their horizons.

10th House: Deepest wounds lie in reputation. They want to be recognized and admired, because they can’t see worth in themselves unless others do. On the flip side, they may find that they only do things to please others. They are afraid of success because of their fear of failure, and how far they will go to achieve what they want. 

11th House: Deepest wounds reside in friendships. They feel rejected by others and feel perpetually lonely, because they feel alienated by others around them. These individuals feel too different to fit in with the rest of the crowd, yet easily take in those who feel the same under their wing. They have trouble getting along with those who are not like them, and need to learn to recognize that we are all human with different experiences; that everyone is unique.
