(Mbappé is the central striker for the French national team)

you're all familiar with Kylian Mbappé of course. for those unaware, he's a formidable footballer who's reclaiming the title of Top Goalscorer for himself again.

a look into his natal chart and you're instantly blown away. Mbappé has Mars conjunct Ascendant in hasta nakshatra, sidereal virgo. his short stature doesn't hinder his excellent locomotive skills as he manages to dominate the field in every match. he's even given the moniker of "Dictator" for his ferocity in leading the team, and his quip conversation style counts too.

it helps for him that Mars is in mutual reception with Mercury in 3rd house scorpio, serving additionally as Lagnesh too. this is a man who's martian values are best expressed through his limbs and his speech. it's no wonder his communication skills are also a tactic of self-defense and assertion. the current meltdown of insults from a racist paraguayan politician just so happens to be occuring while transit mars is over Mbappé's 9H of foreign relations.

his chart says it all; skirmishes and squabbles don't faze him one bit. a prime example of why Mars exalts in capricorn, because it is a planet capable of keeping one focused and disciplined towards their goals without unnecessary distractions thwarting them.

Despite everything, Ace still decides to save Blackbeard. Yeah I’m missing context because One Piece academy isn’t translated in English anymore but STILL.

the context here is Blackbeard defecting from WB's class and attacking Sabo which drives Ace insanely mad. in spite of that Luffy advises BB he can apologize and come back as Ace+WB "still like him". the author does his best to convey Ace as the Tsundere™ who can't fully hate someone whom he once had a bond with. he's angry at the betrayal but still shows kindness to his former friend!
