“My mom said: ‘Val has something to say to you.’ I was sitting on the stairwell, crying. And he knew right away that I was pregnant. He didn’t yell. He didn’t say anything. He just started pacing. But I knew what he was thinking: I was eighteen years old, I was his only daughter, and he thought that having a child would ruin my life. When he finally stopped pacing, he told me: you can either get an abortion or leave the house. I knew then that I’d be entirely on my own. I started saving money from each paycheck to spend on clothing and supplies. But I had no idea what I was going to do when the baby came. My father wasn’t speaking to me. There was no eye contact. No nothing. Not that he’d ever been good at expressing his emotions. His mother had died when he was a baby. He’d had a tough life. From the outside like he didn’t care, but my mother told me that he was crying himself to sleep every night. After a few weeks he began to soften. He asked to see the sonogram. It wasn’t exactly a celebration, but at least he asked to see it. On the day of my C-section, dad spent that day drinking alone, which he rarely did. He was pretty drunk by the time I left for the hospital. He didn’t say a thing. My mom just looked at him and shook her head. But I was in the hospital for five days after my son was born, and every day my dad would visit. He’d bring us food. He’d hold my son for hours at a time. And when I came back home, there was a letter waiting for me on my bed. I’ve only read it twice in my life. Because it makes me cry too much. But he apologized for his behavior. And he said that we were going to be fine. My son is eight years old now. And whenever it’s Father’s Day at school, he brings home art for Papa. The two of them are inseparable. They’re always playing something. My son is always giving him hugs, and kisses, and saying ‘I love you.’ And Papa says it back. It’s the only time he ever says it to anyone. With my son he has no choice. It’s not in Papa’s nature to be affectionate. But it’s my son’s nature. He’s so open and natural with his emotions. He’ll give love for no reason at all, and his Papa has no choice but to accept it.”

Astrology Observations: Cancer placements
✿ ⋆。 ゚ ☁︎。⋆。 ゚ ☾ ゚ 。⋆
🌙Cancer suns are typically the most noticeable ones in the room, they are ruled by the moon after all!
🌙Cancer mercury placements have a very soothing way of speaking. Smooth talkers if you will
~BUT it can take a minute to get them out of their shell & when you do it’s so worth it 😩
🌙Those with cancer venus have such warm ideals & visions that you can really get lost in them if you allow them to show you everything they love & adore
🌙Cancer suns can also be the loudest ones in the room from my experiences with them. They really know how to catch everyone’s attention with their voices!
🌙Cancer rising are typically curvy & have round features in general that are very flattering✨
Pretty doe eyes being one of them!! 🥺💗
🌙Cancer moons have the power to make you feel their emotions as they are home in their planets sign :,)
This also gives them the ability to potentially be emotionally manipulative so watch out for that kind of behavior if you catch yourself doing that. Your emotions are sacred & should be honored, not used for evil 😭
🌙Cancer mars people also have powerful emotions but theirs can tip over to the more diabolical side of things. Do not make them feel bad for being emotional whenever they are, it only makes things worse lol. Angry criers~
🌙Cancer rising people also have very beautiful homes that are veryyyy clean and welcoming. With the Capricorn descendant they might take a while to feel comfortable with inviting you there or staying the night though, but when they do you can make yourself at home 😌🥹
These are not fact or fiction, just observations I’ve made along the way~
✨I love you Cancers!✨

“Summertime and Christmas. That’s when I have her. Been that way for seven years. When she’s not in school, she’s with me. Then at the end of the summer I bring her back to her Mom’s house in Florida. Those drop-offs are the worst; I almost miss my flight every time. I wait until the last possible second to call my uber for the airport. I hug her, say goodbye, put my stuff in the car. Then I always gotta come back again and get my last kiss. Always, always. That uber ride sucks. That plane ride sucks. Cause I know I’m not going to see her for a few months. On the wall in my closet we keep track of her height. And every time she comes back, she’s grown like two inches. That’s a lot. That’s a lot I don’t see. But she knows she can call me for whatever, which she does. And whenever she’s here she gets to be the CEO of our lives. She’s not a dictator or anything. But she’s the president. I’m the people. When she says we go, we go. She wants to go to the pool, we go to the pool. She wants to go to the beach, we go to the beach. We came here today for the Juneteenth celebration. Been planning it for two weeks. I’m supposed to be at work today, but I took off early. There’s a bouncy house and face painting and all kinds of good stuff. But she didn’t want to do any of it. We stayed for two minutes. And now we’re back to feeding the animals; same thing we do every day.”

Guilty.
637. Slytherins that are thought to be great in all the work that they do but are actually really lazy so they just try to find the easiest/fastest/most efficient way to achieve their goals without having to put extra effort. This makes them seem very smart and at the same time they don’t need to work that hard, thus killing two birds with one stone

Scorpio rising’s tend to hate their past. They look at it from a disgusted point of view and can be highly uncomfortable whenever it’s brought up. I think this is because they always evolve and change, they always enrich themselves and transform into different versions. Like a snake that goes through it’s skin shedding cycle. Whenever they take a peek at their past they’ll be embarrassed because they matured more and changed. Kind of like the "I’m not the same person I was 1 month ago" meme.
Following the story of someone with negative mercury-neptune aspects in their chart is close to impossible. They’ll stutter and then mention something that has nothing to do with the story then talk about one random person for way too long and it’ll take them 34 hours to get to the point lmfaooo. I say this as a mercury opposite neptune native, I swear I’m trying my best😪.
To me, Chiron in the 1st is an indicator of someone being a victim of bullying. For some reason, they’ve grown up feeling like who they are as people is not good enough. This placement is actually quite sad in my opinion.
Scorpio moons stare at people so fucking intensely and for WHAT. I’ll be here talking about how I burned my eggs this morning and they’ll be like "👁 👁 mmh okay"
If many planets negatively aspect your ascendant, it could mean you hide your real self a lot. Projecting things and expressing yourself is difficult. There’s a blockage somehow, who you are as a person is hard to show to other people.
Sun-Saturn conjunction: Feeling like you have no idea who you are, one of your biggest lessons being about your identity. People constantly telling you you’re a certain way so you internalize it and start acting that way. Feeling uncomfortable when your father is around, disliking him, not knowing who he is. Acting in ways that don’t even fit your actual persona.
A mix of 10th and 11th house placement can point to someone being an extrovert and very good with people. They know how to keep their public image squeaky clean, they’ll act a certain way in public just to appear good.
Synastry: I know someone who has lilith, pluto and chiron in their 3rd house in scorpio. All three end up in my 1st house conjunct my ascendant and this person has been a pain in the ass. They’d project so muchhh on me and whenever I tried to defend myself they’d start gaslighting me. Most of the time it was always about my appearance (1st house/asc). I think it’s an interesting observation because the way they insulted me was sneaky, below the surface (Scorpio) and with words (3rd house). They were always sneaky and lowkey comments that seemed harmless but in reality they were much much more.
Leo placements are talented!!! Everyone’s talking about how Leo’s want the spotlight, the fame and blah blah but the real deal is them being talented especially in arts.
Whatever planet or sign is located in your second house, it’ll show how you treat yourself. How you speak to yourself, how you view yourself. Malefic planets in this house is hard because it shows how someone will have no mercy or empathy for themselves. They are so harsh on themselves.
I cannot stress this enough but chart rulers are literally so important. They describe such a big part of us and i’d recommend looking at it the first time you get someone’s birth chart. If your chart ruler is in the 10th house, you could care a lot about your reputation. What people think of you and how they view you is super important. This can become toxic if you always try to appear a way you aren’t. Perhaps you feel at times that people around you have no idea who’s the real you? If it’s in the 1st you could be someone who’s highly focused on themselves and might even be very self sufficient? You’re very independent and don’t need others in life. Which is good but know that relaying on others can help too :).
Mars conjunct ascendant in synastry will have you throw alllll your morals away💀 you find the person just so fine, nothing else matters. You just wanna get physical.
uranus conjunct/opposite mc: Feeling different from everyone your whole life. No one ever understanding the way you are. People calling you weird, cringe, annoying. Getting told to be like everyone else, not knowing what’s wrong with you.
It’s been said before but people really do misinterpret what people with mercury-neptune aspects say. I experience it on a daily and it’s so annoying. My words constantly get misinterpreted and im always like "that’s not what I mean???"
People with high scorpio/pluto/8th house energy might get gaslighting a lot. I’ve mentioned it before but these energy all live below the surface and always see whats hidden under. The subtexts and undertones to them are so obvious and that’s when there can be problems. It can lead to people telling them they’re crazy for thinking a certain way though they are right. Because they’re the only ones who see the real thing, what’s actually going on. When they try to reveal what’s actually happening (smth most people can’t catch) they’ll get called crazy and shit. I hope I’m making sense but yeah anyways it really sucks!
If you have neptune+uranus in your 3rd house 💀💀💀 good luck passing that driving test (I’m talking to myself)
Plutonians rarely get sympathy from anyone. Everyone romanticizing pluto energy have no idea how mentally challenging it really is. People never showing you empathy, constantly being left alone, people reacting to you in not so normal ways, getting ignored and hated when you’ve done nothing wrong, people laughing at your misery and I could go on and on.
The truth is the house’s energy cannot be associated with the signs because they’re literally so different. I might make many posts explaining the differences between the sign, house and planets because I can’t stand the simplification of astrology.
Never force a cancer stellium into being less shy and more outgoing because they will hate you for it and will not even try doing anything you say. Cancer’s love their home, their shell and forcing them out of it will only cause problems. If you want to be part of a cancer’s inner circle just be patient and. understanding.They’ll let you in eventually.
Virgo mars are SCARY when they’re angry. They will literally attack your ass so well with such sophisticated words. They rarely get angry but when they do run for the hills💀. Also don’t tell them to calm down cause it’ll annoy them.
The sign that is over your 11th house is probably the sun sign of many of your friends. I have virgo over my 11th house and am surrounded by virgo placements. I also realized virgo energy is something I lack a lot so that could explain it.
I had a moon-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius in my 2022 solar return chart and I found myself constantly rationalizing and thinking my emotions rather than feel them. And I’m a whole ass cancer moon. It was so weird, every time I felt like crying I would just start thinking instead of just letting it out.
Aquarius moon will not stick to the rules. No.matter.what.
Taurus moon can be very selfish when it comes to pleasure. They’ll only think about themselves and their own satisfaction.
Saturn in 4th: Trouble with vulnerability and opening up. Feeling like crying in front of others is weak. Being unable to express emotions normally. Having a childhood that you do not want to talk about. People calling you heartless or emotionless because you have trouble expressing your emotions.
Saturn in 12th: Overthinking, insomnia, heavy trauma, nightmares that are connected to some sad memories. Restlessness, feeling like your mind is your worst enemy. You can be very wise tho, what you’ve been through has shaped you into someone with plenty of knowledge.
I have a friend who has pluto in her 12th house and she told me that when she was younger she used to make nightmares every night about this kind of creature. She told me it scared her so much she didn’t want to go to sleep. She’s better now but this placement really is scary.
