a beginner’s guide to being a flower:
sit in the sunlight. try to go outside and let the sun wash over your skin at least once a day. open the curtains to let the light in. let the sun whisper secrets to you.
drink water. flowers need water to thrive, and so do you. keep water by your side and sip periodically throughout the day. we are born from water, we are filled with it- water is an important part of you.
stay rooted. regard the present moment for what it is: your own.
use fertilizer. fertilizer comes in all different forms. some of us need help being fertilized, so do what helps you grow and seek the help you need.
love the earth. the earth gives life to all of us. walk barefoot in the grass. plant flowers. recycle. reduce your footprint.
remember that rot is a part of life. without rot and decay, the soil would not be fertile and things could not grow. if you are struggling, keep growing.
love your petals. they are yours. dress yourself in what makes you happy- look the way you like to look. if you can’t garb your physical self the way you want to, decorate your inner space with things that bring you joy: music, mantras, poems, books, films, anything that you can hold in your heart.
remember you are always growing. sometimes the person you are at present isn’t the person you want to be: you may be growing crookedly, you may have lost a leaf or a petal, you may be transplanted to a place that is inhospitable. remember that all of life is a process. you are never the same tomorrow as you were yesterday. you are constantly regenerating and growing. change is a gift.
nurture yourself. you are a flower! treat yourself as you would treat a tiny blossom. flowers need special care. they need to be loved and looked after- be your own gardener.
Omg I love Donnie Darko! But I could never quite understand the ending. You know I reckon he’s either an aqua sun with a Scorpio moon or maybe a Scorpio with a Capricorn moon
Oooou!!! I love these placements you guys are giving him! And it was such a sublime film! I adore the symbolism! I feel like what he really wanted in the end was to die so that’s why out of any moment he could’ve chosen he chose to be in his room when the engine fell into his room! I think that’s a big reason behind the smile at the end!
And an aqua sun with a Scorpio moon makes so much sense! I think he was a cancer rising with Aquarius stellium in his 8th house which to me explains his obsession with death and concepts of intimacy
u may not like ur arms but they can carry babies and puppies and kittens
and u may not like ur hands but they can hold flowers and other hands and help braid hair
and u may not like ur nose but it helps u smell nice candles and the earth after it rains and the nice lotion u put on
u may not like ur eyes but they help u see pretty people and cute dogs and cats and all the bright colors around you.
you may not like ur legs but they can help u walk through fields of flowers and through cities full of beautiful buildings
and you may not like ur tummy but it’s a good pillow and it helps u digest good food and u may not like ur body but it loves u so much!!! ur body is beautiful and some days may be hard but u have to take care of urself!! i’m rooting for you!!!

Moon in the 8th House - My Mother was a Witch
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I ‘wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take
Moon in the 8th is the heirloom of a feminine ancestry beholding great magic, sorcery, and psychic activity. Her ghosts are insomniacs and the dreams are rich with profound symbolism eclipsed and concealed by the daylight. The Moon is exiled and dead in the 8th house, and such intrusive volatility can be at conflict with raw sensitivity. The unconscious performs ceremonial rituals through rising and demonstrating the emotional experience. These tears build acid rain, she sends hexes and charms in the direction of her emotion. These experiences may begin as an icy cold feeling or mood that emulsifies with heat until she is emotionally burning inside. She is contaminated by the dead past she carries imbedded within her, anything that makes close enough contact to leak isn’t doesn’t dissolve without being acknowledged and evaporated in the bleached conscious light. The weapons sourced from her wounds intended for her betrayer are double-edged swords, and instead they turn inward and enmesh through internal conditioning that she is inherently bad, void, invisible, depraved, or even that she harbours a darker force inside. Her emotions grow alongside her with life, ageing centuries in the span of years through immense transformations. She is plunged into the thick black of the chrysalis and left for dead to overcome dark nights trapped beside the screaming imprisoned soul, until she is born again with new wings. Socially, she may appear to be impartial or non invasive, but her instinct constantly claws at the surface and provokes for signs of danger or repeated deceit. Interpersonal emotions are read with a divine rod that exposes skeletons and secrets before her, she dissects the hidden seams of her company with the precision of a spiritual psychiatrist. But she padlocks her own secret diary with a much more complex code, she will rarely reveal a single layer of vulnerability without the undying trust that she will not burn again in the same way. There is a lure to the occult with Moon in the 8th, rather focused toward healing and light work. The individual may also recite old wives tales and superstitions and keep these sacred riddles alive.
