ASTRO QUIZ #72 Fanatic vs Cynic Two charts, each in whole sign and placidus One of these people is a zealot, devoting their entire life and reputation to a singular cause. The other is nihilistic and cynical, with no explicit creed, morally flexible. Who is who? Poll 👇

I was going back over my notes for my reading with @VEDANJANAM and noticed he marked out the same age that I had as a critical juncture in my life… very cool to see differing systems converge. If you want a traditional Vedic reading check him out.

@Astrobitch13 We’re going to have to plan this well in advance

@balefulrays I feel like im down to help write questions tbh, sounds fun! If im not like.... too busy at the time it starts, but even then knowing me I'll find time 😭😗

In 2024 I did a series of shows called “Astrology Deathmatch” where two astrologers competed to answer blind chart reading questions like in the Astro Quizzes Might bring the show back for a battle royale “last astrologer standing” - wrong answers mean elimination. Interested?

@HoratioLibra For sure !!

@balefulrays Please do this!! (and let me be a contestant 🙏🙏)

NO OCCULT CHAT THIS WEEK the show is cancelled for March 20 - all of us have other commitments and cannot make it but we will return March 27 Hope you have a happy astrological new year! @dear_mortal @witchkingcoop @cooperhenckel

@PSLWitch The questions are being written by Alberto and maybe @Astrobitch13 if he wants to I want to see if any astrologers will throw their hat in the ring before I go around and start asking people to be in the contest lol

@balefulrays What type of Birth Charts would you be looking for and would we send them to Hope or Cooper ? Also I would be psyched if you looked at buisness astrology

To be clear I’m asking for astrologers that want to be in the show / competition

The twist: I am not writing the questions and will be in the competition. So I’ll finally put my money where my mouth is as quizmaster and we will see how good I really am. Looking for a wide pool of contestants for this stream event. If you are interested comment.

@ascendant32 How do you feel

@balefulrays this is stationing 2 degrees from my moon, and today is my exact saturn return. the new moon was exactly conjunct my solar return saturn.

Mercury stationing on the node is making this direct station’s energy feel particularly malefic. Instead of the usual clarity it is as though the fog only grows thicker.

@PSLWitch 😆😆😆

@balefulrays if there ever is a draft borrow one of Hope's dresses & put on a wig

I was going to legally change my gender back to M but now that ww3 is happening I think I might leave it as F lol.

You can determine it by looking at the chart. Morning star means it rises before the sun. Diurnal motion means that each sign in the zodiac rises in order throughout a 24 hour period. So let’s say the sun is in Aries. Planets in Pisces, Aquarius, etc, would be considered morning stars because they rise before the sun does. Planets in Taurus, Gemini, etc would be evening stars because they rise and set after the sun Being opposite the sun is special consideration

@balefulrays @ElderZimriah how can we check what phase certain planets are in a chart? like whether it's about to station direct or is it at a slow or high speed or distance from sun/moon etc. is there a name for that kind of table or chart... ?

Why I Move the Way I Do (According to my Birth Chart) Most people misunderstand me because they do not perceive the structure that governs me. My life has been formed under pressure, ordered inwardly, and expressed with intention. All ordained in the stars. My nature is directed toward depth. Scorpio rising at ~11°, with Moon at ~25° and Pluto at ~20° in Scorpio in the first house, draws the soul into confrontation, interior examination, and continual transformation. This is the condition of my life. My Sun at ~22° Gemini, joined with Venus at ~21°, and Mercury at ~6° Cancer, stand in the eighth house. I approach truth as something concealed, requiring discovery, examination, and articulation. My speech is therefore concerned with what lies beneath appearance. Most will see this as I always highlight a hidden element within the meaning of something and argue it non-stop. Moon joined with Pluto in close conjunction intensifies perception and emotional force. This conjunction in the first house establishes a constant proximity between identity and transformation. When left without order, this depth descends into instability. Unruled intensity collapses inward. This depth arrived somewhat disordered. There were seasons when intensity led me into withdrawal. Under pressure, I removed my presence, deleted accounts, and entered isolation. This still causes emotional balance problems, but I am controlling it better as I gain more experience with it. Saturn at ~18° Aquarius in the fourth house, forming a square to Pluto in Scorpio, imposed the necessity for structure. This aspect binds pressure to foundation, requiring stability to be built rather than assumed. Through pressure and restraint, I was formed into stability. Endurance became the means of order. This highlights where a lot of my trauma comes from. Familial "home" and childhood was the training ground of me. That taught me every foundation of pursuit should be solidified first. Mars at ~28° Aries in the sixth house supplies continual motion and force. This placement directs energy into work, discipline, and daily exertion. When unmeasured, this produces exhaustion through excess. Discipline became the condition for preservation. So I meditate A LOT. Sun in Gemini forms a trine to Saturn in Aquarius, establishing continuity between intellect and structure. This alignment permits endurance in thought, consistency in expression, and the ability to build over time without collapse. Over time, fragmentation gave way to coherence. The same intensity now sustains clarity and continuity. Transformation has been enacted through lived experience. Jupiter at ~7° Virgo in the tenth house, under a Leo Midheaven (~17°), directs knowledge into public responsibility. This placement forms growth through competence, teaching, and visible contribution. What is understood must be taught, expressed, and made visible. My chart isn’t rare in any extreme sense, but it does have a noticeable concentration of planets in their own signs, which makes it a bit uncommon overall. It basically means a lot of my core traits come from within rather than being shaped by outside influence, so I tend to operate with a strong sense of internal direction and self-driven energy.

Or, in other words: 1) God is everywhere; 2) You are way more than your body limits.

@wetneptune Yeah I’ll probably be wrong tomorrow but rn it feels a bit ominous

@balefulrays made me think of the “you’ll eat your words” quote

Hope ( @dear_mortal ) was trying to get her Bluetooth keyboard to connect to her pc. It wasn’t working and she was getting frustrated bc she was doing the same thing she normally did - but no connection. I told her to thank the keyboard for all its hard work, compliment it and say that it’s a wonderful keyboard, it’s helped you type so many things, and then ask it nicely if it would start working again. She did so and the keyboard started working, connected to her pc instantly.

If acknowledge your car with even a nod at the start of each drive and thank it for helping you reach your destination each time, you will save thousands on repairs

@juneinseptembr @ElderZimriah Astro.com

@balefulrays @ElderZimriah What website is this?

@HoratioLibra @ElderZimriah Isn’t there the milder version of it if the 4L is a malefic and only placement in 4h is malefic?

@balefulrays @ElderZimriah I'm not seeing the Kapata yoga. Unless its via rashi aspect from Mars. In either case mars and Saturn are well dignified, so I'd focus less on Kapata and more on the Sasa yoga formed by saturn. That one is a beast. Also the Dama yoga formed gives venus some serious punch also

The moon is square the apsidal axis (Lilith). What this axis represents is the elliptical path of the moon. Conjunct Lilith = moon at apogee. Opposite Lilith = perigee. You have what some on Twitter call a “moon wobble” these happen twice per month. They are often days where lots of news stories go viral at once and there’s lots of collective activity. Dreams are more pronounced / active. Lost objects are found. Hidden things are revealed. What this does in a natal chart is give a natural intuitive sense into the inner states of others, keen at picking up on social cues, psychic abilities, just being very tuned in. It makes dreams vivid and prophetic dreams or astral dreams occur spontaneously. It can also be an affliction to the way the moon processes emotions and there can be a lagging or dissociative effect. You may thought you had gotten over something just to realize you had only thought about it, not remembered it. Your moon is also conjunct Pluto so I imagine there’s also this sense of “eruptions” with your emotions. More of the moons surface is visible compared to normal instances of that given lunar phase when moon is square Lilith. What this means is that you have “extra” mind / psychic abilities but at the cost of normal emotional regulation.

@ElderZimriah One other thing. Mercury is at Phasis. This is an “emergent” quality. It generally increases intelligence and people with Phasis Mercury feel like they are “discovering” when they conceive of new ideas, understanding their full form at once rather than constructing it bit by bit.
