A Little Reminder To Start Your Week

insane how sexism damaged how we research (and what we know about) animals. did you grow up being taught that only male birds sing? you may be entitled to financial compensation

SIR I FEEL EXPOSED AF THESE ARE SO REAL WHAT???

astrology observations 2 ☆。*。☆。

-saturn in the 4th house can mean an early loss of the father:(

-in my solar return chart 2023, moon square pluto was reallyyyy difficult. literally within 2 months of my new solar year i had been through a run of trauma and got a new mental health diagnosis

-ppl w aquarius & gemini venus live for the friends to lovers romances!!

-i feel when one has a jupiter-saturn conjunction, they will experience the energy of jupiter (the sign and house) more in their early years, and saturn later on (once they reach adulthood)

-super random buttt i’m watching love island usa szn 6, & leah is a triple leo!! i find this so fitting bc even the fact she goes on love island is accurate asf. and her hairrrr i’m telling u those w a lot of leo in their chart have the best hair.

-anyways

-i associate moon square neptune & venus square neptune in the natal chart with limerence. not that everyone with this placement has this issue, but it’s easy for them to attach themselves to the fantasy version of someone. the classic “i loved the idea of you”.

-there are so many talented actors/comedians with a gemini ascendant!! they are so expressive and natural at acting. ex. drew barrymore, sandra bullock, mindy kaling, will smith, matthew mcconauhgey etc.

day 1 at the communal puzzle club: i see a puzzle with a sign next to it that says "please help with our communal puzzle" and i say to myself "don't mind if I do" and did the whole thing
