Fixed Signs & Loyalty

I just want to talk a bit further about the fixed signs and how they feel about loyalty as well as being betrayed. As we head through the fixed signs, it’s as though the more stubborn traits become weaker almost? For example within archetypes, Taurus is the bull, the most openly stubborn fixed sign you can find. Then as we hit Aquarius, it becomes internal and their stubbornness will not be as exaggerated. (Sun & Mars mostly but others should be considered)

Taurus: People with personal planets in Taurus see loyalty as a given. They automatically trust everyone & will stay that way unless something drastic changes their mind. They’re the most loyal people you can find and will literally stick by your side through thick and thin, even if you wouldn’t necessarily do the same. They’re fiercely protective of their loved ones and things they care about. If you betray or shame them or people they love, they will turn, and become the bull they’re ever so famous for being. They’ll keep a cool head while ripping you apart. Don’t cross them. 

Leo: People with personal planets in Leo see trust and loyalty as something that needs to be earned, and won’t give it out to just anyone. They, like Taurus, are fiercely protective of loved ones and will waste no time in crushing anyone that crosses them. They will attack when their ego is bruised, or if you try to test the fact that they’re above everyone else. Leo will knock you down several sizes if you try to square up, providing you can even reach their level. Watch yourself. 

Scorpio: People with personal planets in Scorpio are literally ride or die for their loved ones, but you won’t ever hear about it. You’ll see it when someone crosses you and Scorpio is there to take the hits and sting them right back. You’ll feel it when you find out that one person that was talking behind your back, no longer talks. You have a constant protector, and a fierce one at that. They’ll stare into someone’s soul and set it on fire right in front of your eyes. Be careful. 

Aquarius: People with personal planets in Aquarius are the silent defenders. Their loyalty is shown through being there if you need them rather than being there all the time. They’re the people you can call if you’re stuck and they’re by your side within 5 minutes. They’re the people who will say yes to anything you suggest, just because they want you to be happy. They won’t attack for you, but god help you if you cross them or ones they care about. They’ll destroy anyone in their path, but only ever on the defense. Tread lightly.

i really like to imagine ancient natural historians hanging out on tumblr because they would fucking love it here. you can post all the dumb unverified bullshit you want and people will not only believe you without factchecking, but they’ll spread your bullshit around? pliny the elder would have a heyday. aelian would go absolutely apeshit. aristotle would be crying. they would run a ‘today i learned’ blog together and post stuff like ‘TIL that men have more teeth than women!’ and get 50,000 notes

Ocean Vuong, On Earth we’re briefly gorgeous

part of becoming confident with yourself is just… posting it anyway. writing it anyway. even if you feel like it won’t be recognized, the process is just as important as the results. if you like what you do and who you are that validation will come naturally. shit won’t feel forced either.

The Difference Between Oppositions and Squares

You can find the difference between aspects in how the signs work with each other. It can be really hard to solidly tell a difference between an opposition and a square, since they can bring similar, disharmonious effects. However, this does not mean their effects are exactly the same.

An opposition is composed of two sister signs… but what is the actual composition of an opposition? In order to have an opposition, you need two signs that share the same polarity and mode, but are different in their elements. For a square, you need to have two signs that differ in polarity and element, but share the same mode.

The effects of oppositions and squares are quite different. For an opposition, there is often an emphasis of two sides. Instead of functioning like a single, powerful unit, like a conjunction, the two planets involved in an opposition will often go into opposite directions to achieve the same motive. You can see that the signs involved in an opposition have the same motive because they have the same polarity and mode. With the same polarity, opposing signs will have their motive take place in the same environment, which can either be external (masculine) or internal (feminine.) With the same mode, the two opposing planets will go at the motive with the same energetic method. This does not mean the actual method will be the same, but the framework of the method will be. The actual method will differ through the elements and the rulerships of the signs involved. Many of the signs that are opposing each other are also ruled by planets that have massive archetypal differences, which drives the disharmonious differences in an opposition. For example, Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of conflict while Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of harmony.

It’s also important to note that the two opposing planets will also take place in opposing Houses in the natal chart since the planets must be 180 degrees away. The reason why there is such a polarizing pull from an opposition is because the planets involved in an opposition are involved in two Houses that are focused on seemingly “opposite” subjects. A good example is the 1st and the 7th House. The 1st House is focused on the self, while the 7th House is focused on the other - both are tied to relations and identity.

For a square, there is the feeling of a “block” between two planets in two different signs. One planet will try to express itself, only to be blocked by the other planet and vice versa. There can be a lot of tension with a square aspect, for the native can often feel restricted from doing what they seek to do. Often, for planets involved in a square, there is often a feeling of knowing how to channel your energy (due to the same mode) into a certain task, only to find that the actual energy required to get to the task are in two completely different environments, which is why a square feels very tense. For example, Scorpio is square to Aquarius. Both signs would like to remain stable, yet persistent in a certain subject (since they’re both fixed,) but Aquarius would like to gain this stability through rationality (air) in the outside environment (masculine,) but Scorpio would rather gain this stability through emotions (water) in an inside environment (feminine.) Due to the different polarities and environments involved, there’s a conflict. It’s hard to accomplish a task involving two different environments and methods. It’s important to note that the squares take place in Houses that are 90 degrees away from each other, since a square is 90 degrees between two planets.

Often, you’ll find that the Houses involved are often subjects that strive for the same goal, but through different ways. A good example is the 1st and 4th House. The 1st House represents your identity, while your 4th House represents your family. Both you and your family strive to invest in your success, but you can find that your family will want something different from you, even though the end goal is success. This is why people can sometimes feel that the family is a threat to their identity.
