PLANETS: There are 10 planets, each one has a meaning and is ruled by one or two signs

For example Jupiter, if you were born with Jupiter under Taurus you are a Taurus Jupiter

If you wanna know what this means you look at Taurus’ basic traits and apply that to the meaning of the planet

There are personal planets and Public planets

The personal planets change faster than the public planets and therefore are the base of your personality and will shine more

Here are the planets plus what they mean in your life and how they describe your personality

-

The sun: The sun is ruled by Leo and is a personal planet, it changes every month and reflects your basic personality

The moon: The moon is ruled by Cancer and is a personal planet, it changes every 2-3 days and reflects your emotions, moods and relationship with mother

Mercury: Mercury is ruled by Virgo and Gemini and is a personal planet, it changes every 3-4 weeks and reflects your communication and mind

Venus: Venus is ruled by Taurus and Libra and is a personal planet, it changes every 4-5 weeks and reflects your love & attraction

Mars: Mars is ruled by Aries and (co ruled) by Scorpio and is a personal planet, it changes every 6-7 weeks and reflects your anger, drive and energy

Jupiter: Jupiter is ruled by Sagittarius and is a public planet, it changes every 12-13 months and reflects your luck, growth and wisdom

Saturn: Saturn is ruled by Capricorn and is a public planet, it changes every 2-3 years and reflects your discipline, fears & challenges

Uranus: Uranus is ruled by Aquarius and is a public planet, it changes every 7 years and reflects your change, originality and generation

Neptune: Neptune is ruled by Pisces and is a public planet, it changes every 10-12 years and reflects your healing process and dreams

Pluto: Pluto is ruled by Scorpio and is a public planet, it changes every 12-15 years and reflects your power and transformation

-HOUSES: there are 12 houses, each house is the home of one sign and describes a different aspect in your life, they can change every 15 minutes and are used in two different ways

The first one is that you have the 12 houses and a sign in each one of them, it describes how you will handle these aspects in your life

The second one is that you have a house in each planet, for example if you’re a Taurus Jupiter and you’re born while Jupiter was in the 6th house you are a Jupiter Taurus in the 6th house, the 6th house is the home of Virgo, so that means you’re a Jupiter Taurus Virgo, its like a second sign but less prominent

And now here are the houses and what aspect in life they rule, you can use this in the first way of houses and how they are used

-

1st house/Ascendant&Rising: the home of Aries, this house reflects the personality, the face you show the world and your physical appearance

2nd house: the home of Taurus, this house reflects earned money and material goods

3rd house: the home of Gemini, this house reflects surroundings, siblings and studies

4th house/Imum Coeli: the home of cancer, reflects the family, home, origins and the father

5th house: the home of Leo, reflects love, pleasure, children and creativity

6th house: the home of Virgo, it reflects everyday life, daily work and health

7th house/Descendant: the home of libra, it reflects marriage, associations and contracts

The 8th house: the home of Scorpio, reflects passions, transformation, death, and sexuality

9th house: the house of Sagittarius, it reflects traveling, higher concepts and spirituality

10th house/Midheaven: the home of Capricorn, it reflects social success, careers and the mother

11th house: the home of Aquarius, it reflects friends, support and protections in life

12th house: the home of Pisces, it reflects enemies, difficulties and secrets

COMPATIBILITY: of course some signs get along better than others, that doesn’t say that some signs don’t have a chance together, each combination is possible and unique, some just need a bit more dedication

Also YOU CANT BASE COMPATIBILITY OFF OF ONLY YOUR SUN SIGN, there are more signs and of course no one will match perfect with each sign, so that’s how you can see where you need to work on in the relationship,

An Example would be if you have a aries sun and the other person a Leo sun (planet of your ego and personality) it would match when it comes down to basic personality traits, because these two signs are very compatible

but if you have a Gemini mercury (the planet of the mind and communication) and the same other person has a Pisces mercury there may be some problems with communication and beliefs because Pisces and Gemini are less compatible

But now I’ll explain how I know and calculate which signs are compatible, for this it is important to know the order and groups the signs are in (you can look back at the group part in this article)

-

100% compatible: the best combination for each sign is one of the same element or the next masculine/feminine sign

For example, lets take Sagittarius (Fire and Masculine) best matches for this sign would be Aries and Leo (also fire) or Aquarius (the next sign after Sagittarius that is also masculine)

Another example is Pisces (Water and Feminine) the best matches would be Scorpio and Cancer (also water) or Taurus (the next sign after Pisces that is also feminine)

-

90% compatible: the second best combination for each sign is their sister sign or the feminine/masculine sign before them

So again for example Sagittarius (Masculine) their second best match would be Gemini (their sister sign ) or libra (the first masculine sign before them)

Again another example Pisces (Feminine) their second best match would be Virgo (their sister sign)or Capricorn (the first feminine sign before them)

-

50% compatible: the half/half matches are matches that could work but need some attention and effort.

These are the signs that are ruled by the same planet or are from the same category out of the fixed, mutable and cardinal signs

For example for Taurus libra would be a challenge but still has change of working because they are both ruled by Venus

Second example is Pisces and Sagittarius they are both cardinal signs so it could be possible

Another and last example is Virgo and Gemini, I’d give these a 60% because they are both ruled by the same planet AND they are both mutable signs

-

30% compatible: the signs that are around the other sign,

So for example for Sagittarius Capricorn or Scorpio would be a hard match because Sagittarius stands between Scorpio and Capricorn on the list

And lastly I’d give 30% to the signs that have nothing in common,

So no same element, no fixed/mutable/cardinal/feminine/masculine similarity, and no same planet

For example Capricorn (Earth/Feminine/Cardinal/Saturn) and Gemini (Air/Masculine/Mutable/Mercury)

DON’T FORGET TO REBLOG IF HELPFUL BECAUSE I DEDICATED A WHOLE DAY TO THIS

Why artists and writers reblog their work multiple times:

They posted it late at night and want people to see it in the daytime

They want others to reblog it

They want more attention for it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

They have followers in different timezones and want everyone to get a chance to see it

THEY WANT OTHERS TO REBLOG IT

IF THEY REBLOG IT MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY’RE DOING IT BECAUSE THEY WANT ATTENTION FOR IT AND THEY’RE LIKELY NOT GETTING ENOUGH, SO THEY KEEP REBLOGGING IT IN THE HOPES THEY’LL GET SOME

BE A COOL BRO AND REBLOG

THEY’LL LOVE YOU FOREVER

this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!

Reblog if you are a safe person to talk to

You can message me or send me an anon anytime, ill listen! Even if you just want to come and talk about your life or your worries, ill be there.

The Tumblr writing community is dying.

It’s something I’ve noticed over the past two years of using this site. It was gradual, imperceptible at first, something that most would brush off as a silly concern, or fault Tumblr algorithm for. While it’s true that Tumblr’s engine leaves a lot to be desired, I’ve noticed that even popular blogs have started to dwindle in terms of interaction or motivation. There could be a lot of reasons for this, but the biggest two I’ve noticed, experienced myself, and asked fellow writers about is this: (1) content being stolen, and (2) lack of feedback or interaction. I’ve never seen any logical person defend content being stolen, so I want to address point 2 instead.

Lack of feedback and interaction. I’m not saying this on my behalf so much as I’m saying this for friends and smaller blogs who have lost motivation to write. I was looking at my yandere writing blogs list the other day and noticed that a good majority of them no longer write. I usually update the list every few months, and by that point, more and more writers have stopped writing entirely. This isn’t a problem confined solely to the yandere fandom; in fact, there’s less writing blogs in general these days, especially ones that are active. I used to run a very popular BNHA blog with some friends, but that dissolved after our content was stolen and our followers stopped interacting as much. Out of our 8,500 followers, we hardly got 0.015% notes (~128 notes) on an average post. Tumblr is to blame for the lack of eyes seeing our posts, for sure, but that also means that at least 128 people saw one post and didn’t leave a comment or ask. We were considered a big blog; imagine what it’s like on a small blog.

My friend recently made a post that summed this up perfectly: 

“I’ve seen people say “Be grateful that people even lurk on your page.” and, while I get the message they’re trying to say, it’s more dismissive and hurtful in my opinion. Like you’re saying, “Oh your writing is mediocre, you should be grateful people even LOOK at it.”

Me personally? I’ve heard the argument that AO3 is a better place to post fanfics, and while that might be true, I’ve had friends experience firsthand the lack of interaction there too. I’ve heard the argument that interacting with some writers is intimidating (me included). I’ve heard that argument that followers might be too shy to interact. I’ve heard the argument that writers should write for themselves and not for views / likes / reblogs / etc, and while that’s ideal, it’s not sustainable for everyone. What works for one writer won’t work for another, but you know what will? Interaction.

That comment or ask that took you 2 seconds to write? We remember it. That reblog with the compliments in the tags? We remember it. Every single ‘named’ anon we get (heart anon, sunflower anon, etc)? We remember them. And the best part is? It’s actually easier to do these things on Tumblr since you have the option to send anonymous asks or make a sideblog specifically for reblogs! Trust me, whether the lack of interaction is the cause of a lack of motivation or what have you, every writer appreciates feedback (don’t be shy to offer some critique or compliments) or even a simple keyboard smash with some emojis. Even sitting down for 5 min a day per week to comment on your favorite writers’ new pieces makes a huge difference. Personally, since Tumblr’s activity feed is beyond terrible and I have over 1,500 posts, I don’t always see new reblogs or comments on my content; asks though? Always see those, can never go wrong with those. If you don’t want to reblog or leave a comment, then you can never go wrong with an anonymous ask. 

As my wise friend says: writing is an art, and in order to improve that art, we need other people’s eyes to see what we don’t.

For the sake of every writer (past, present, and future) on this platform, please share this post.

Please reblog this if you believe that people under the age of 18 still need to have privacy and being a minor does not invalidate their feelings/need to have a safe space.

words to remember

You are a human before a kpop stan.

Be respectful of situations you dont know fully about and if you're going to question whether someone is being credible with their trauma, either leave them alone or keep in your mind that they could still be telling the truth, no matter how much you dont want it to be true.

We live in a huge world full of uncertian things. I may get shit for it, but personally I've seen enough where I fully understand not just trusting what people say all the time, but at the same time, the coin has two sides. Someone could genuinely be asking for help and support.

Keep that in mind when looking at someone talking about their trauma.
