Just a little advice, try to stay at home as much as possible, because you are very very very prone to falling in love immediately.

Expect alot of dreams about your exes, the friends who hurt you, the ones who made you feel so good.

It also gives you a beauty that attracts everyone. You may see people staring at you ALOT.

Expect ALOT of crying and anxiety. The healing is inevitable here, bring chiron in it, again inevitable healing. Your soul will SHOW you all the times you neglected it, all the times you said yes but wanted to say no. Your soul will try to become best friends with your physical body, don't neglect it this time, please.

WHATโ€™S SEDUCTIVE IN GENERAL โŸถ ๐ŸŽด Magic. 8oS. 10oPโ†บ. Faithโ†บ. Page of Pentaclesโ†บ. the Chariot. 8oWโ†บ [bod].

THE TEMPTATION, OTHERWISE A TEMPTRESS TO SUITORS THAT โ€œDAREโ€ TO INDULGE; TO MEET A FATE THATโ€™S FORBID. Attributes include the ability to lure their 'prey' in with just a glance, emanating tenacious sensuality, and exhibiting divinity [energetically]. Poison with legs, seeping into the thoughts of anyone's minds. Heightened emotional intelligence assists them in hypnotizing others. Seduction is an accessory, a mask of sex they can put on [โ€œand offโ€] at anytime.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ An innate power of transformation is what this pile has. Able to demand ("command") a room with just their presence, let alone a word, they're perceived as the Magician; resourceful, magical, and opulent. Something of them is practical, as in they're adept to the metaphysical and what it may offer. LOA, glamour (or "sex") magick, visualization and scripting are familiar concepts. Witchcraft is a part of them, as it could've been passed down or learned ["through lineage"]. Genetic gifts that assist their "urges", or more importantly their fantasies. Non-conforming, unconventional ways and ideal (as they are the same). At most, this pile's aura feels mystical, untouchable and otherworldly. This kind of force can be turned off and on; felt by everyone, seen by none. Will attract "watchers" i.e. stalkers online or in real life. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ "Too hot to touchโ€; very tempting group here, even more so when they're done up to "play the part". Sensing that red, ginger (or โ€œorangeโ€) hair can emphasize their burn (fire). Hot! An edgier aesthetic suits them better than most, as if their mystique abruptly magnified. Deeper colors (maroon, black, and โ€œdark blueโ€), smokey eyes, and smudged glitter are enhancers. Channeling woodsier scents? A scent including this note could melt into Pile Oneโ€™s pheromones; theyโ€™re sensible and protective. Confidence within them is grounded, gives off older and mature. Faces contradict the assertiveness tho, some people of Pile Two have cherubic features (e.g. button nose, fat cheeks) which offers up an illusion of innocence.

แ›ชเผ™ ๐–๐‡๐€๐“โ€™๐’ ๐’๐„๐ƒ๐”๐‚๐“๐ˆ๐•๐„ ๐€๐๐Ž๐”๐“ ๐˜๐Ž๐”.

LONGTERM CONNECTIONS ARE PRONE TO COME ABOUT, DUE TO CAPTURING LOVERS IN THEIR WEB. It's more of being bound than being "in love", and that's because Pile One doesn't leave them alone until Pile One says so; a pulley system only they control. At worst, this is a manipulation tactic in the hands of a former ["serial"] cheater, unless Pile One has evolved and grown out those ways. Trapped in a trance, pulled along a thin string, kept in an unopened box; partners don't conceptualize self-value when Pile One's not there. This as a scenario would be the equivalent of man pleading on his knees and to the world for his girl, like the music videos. Someone thatโ€™ll die for querent, feeling nothing but raging love. How Ari professes while admitting sheโ€™s been an anxious mess, โ€œcompletely disheveledโ€ and still wanting to appease โ€œyouโ€ is how Pile Oneโ€™s partners are.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Samantha Jones in SATC is who they remind me of. Similar to her, Pile One prioritizes self-maintenance [and self-pleasure] before anyone else. Discarding dinner date plans for a night alone instead, opting out of fling appointments to mingle with friends, etc. "I gotta put myself first," "hasta la vista," and "me time" sum them up to a tee. Hesitating between shoe selection versus before asking someone to get out of bed and leave; to them partners are disposable, replaceable. Not #1 [because that's reserved for themselves], but the very bottom of the list instead. Mindset of an Earth sign, Virgo (Moon or 1H) in particularโ€”"mother knows best". It's attractive that someone won't accept less than what they've done for themselves [already], they impress themselves. The shiniest trophy, but nobody possesses them. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Querents of this pile are equipped to handle the world (plus obstacles) with a step in the right direction. I always reference "the phoenix rising from the ashes" when there's strength of a warrior present, which applies now. Pain, challenges, disruptionsโ€”there's nothing that can keep Pile One from achieving. Seduction for them stems from a "broken" place, where they shaped a future out of dust. It's possible no one gets them, but that's due to their truth being concealed. These are people that can't be read (especially at face value), they're meant to be discovered. Learned.

WHATโ€™S SEDUCTIVE IN BED โŸถ ๐ŸŽด 7oW. King of Wands. 8oP. 6oCโ†บ. Knight of Cups. 4oS [bod].

BECOMING THE MINX, โ€œJUST LIKE MAGICโ€ IS A NOD ANOTHER SIDE OF THE SAME COIN; TWO HALVES OF ONE PERSON. The act of illusion is apparent, and it's potent within sexual circumstance. Skills, body, "sexuality" are magic, enough to arouse fascination in others. Ariana Grande's music portrays this visage perfectly, because Ariana is the embodiment of dual personalities. Innocent and unsuspecting until she's slipping a sexual innuendo beside her harmonies; a natural tease, because this is who she already is.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ In terms of sex, this pile is more prone to leading the encounter; the HBIC. How the momentum's pace is on your timing, how nothing ends or begins until Pile One's call. The demand of their instruction is seductive, it keeps "everyone" in line. Control may lessen, although it'll never fully leave. Granted, a limited amount of time to "disobey" is earned; to switch roles and have Pile One as a sub, get a taste of their authority. Seconds of pride that count towards a rush, a high that they'll only get with her, up until time's over and it's Pile One's turn once more. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Not so much BDSM, but punishment is seductive; being spanked, "bit" (otherwise marked), and reprimanded. It's plausible that mama's boys or daddy's girls are prone to being on the other endโ€”"under their hand"โ€”because discipline isn't common. Getting told no, following directions and staying "put" keep their attitude together, something they're not used to. Pile One has bitches [or "pets"] lol. Degradation, using a condescending tone, edging and orgasm denial is a favorite.

PILE ONEโ€™S PHYSIQUE, OR โ€œCURVATUREโ€ IS A HIGHLIGHT FOR THEIR PARTNERS. Their shape can resemble a peach, plump at the top and luscious at the bottom (otherwise supple breast and a soft ass). "Freakum" dresses can be a closet staple, especially when it's for a special night outโ€”whenever they're ready to get (or "have") their way. Dipping in dark, brooding colors will heighten the allure, turn up the effect. Norma Jean's tactic to become Marilyn Monroe comes to mind, how she was able to shift: "I donโ€™t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic." "They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe...even though a second ago nobody noticed her.โ€

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Clothing is a specialty and particularly when it's "coming off " (or "coming down"). Stripping out of them, dropping each piece to expose another stretch of skin; strip teases or showing off the birthday suit. This pile's lingerie should consist of lacy, sheer material such as wearing fishnets or leg garters (any form of tights tbh). The price of what they wear is attractive. It brings about this air of expensiveness, as in their aura is wealthyโ€”abundant, self-assured and reliable. It traces back into the bedroom for sure, people can feel their income rise in just one night. Querents have the universal cheat code of being gifted ("being spoiled") in romantic connections (e.g. shopping trips and cash deposits). It's a favor for one, exchanging "secret" treasures. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Pretty distinct, but tone of voice is being [heavily] highlighted; โ€œvocal cordsโ€ are on the smoother side? Soothing almost, channeling that theyโ€™ve spoken people to sleep. Reminiscent of rum, in both taste and โ€œsingeโ€ (wincing at the burn). Rugged (another Joel Miller reference, some querents are Southern); can hold weighted conversations with a voice full of conviction. Lol at the number of people that pine after this pile from their charm alone. โ€œJust like magic, Iโ€™m attractiveโ€ and getting everything you want cusโ€™ you attract it is about Pile Oneโ€™s social interactions. Grounding a room with just a few sentences then flirting with everyone standing in it, golden gift for duality. Networking is quintessential considering it's one of this pile's skills; cue the stack of business cards they'd have gotten from exchanging contact information (huge).

โ™กโƒ• A kink for teeth and biting, both them and their partners. Into biting, getting bit on the lip and skin ["until it's tender"]. Sun, Mars, or Pluto could be in mutable signs [Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces] or houses [3H, 7H, 9H, 12H]. Scorpio/8H placements included.

โ™กโƒ• Radiant". Beaming from the inside out, immersing the world in a glorious shine. Querents are on the friendlier side or possess the traits of "everyone's best friend". Big ole gummy smiles; a toothy grin. Friend of the world, can communicate with babies (children) and animals. Bunnies as a favorite animal [or "nickname"].

โ™กโƒ• Find joy in mischief or getting a rise out of people; the jester of their friends or family (especially cousins). Pulling stunts to scare others, harmless pranks, and cracking jokes to lighten the mood at all times. Father could have the prankster gene hence why it's recognized. Def some home celebrities, family oriented querents for sure. Thanksgiving or New Years as a favorite holiday, too.

โ™กโƒ• "Taut" RBF's, lips could form into a thin line on many occasions. Furrowing brows whenever they're driving home a point, prone to getting into "spats" or disputes (i.e. argumentative). Could hate banter, but revel in conflict; adrenaline rushes during confrontation(s). Intelligence is golden during debate conversations if tense. Bilingual/trilingual; native language from places of birth. Anais from Gumball in terms of frustration or attitude. Could have Virgo or Aries in personal (or outer) planets.

โ™กโƒ• Really fiery, like it's all in this reading. "Quick", not doing things before or *after* thinking (i.e. regretting impulsive decisions). Cussing; swearing a lot or while chewing someone out. "Off the rails." Although full throttle, anxiety ("anxiousness") or bad nerves get in their way often. Bass boosted, loud volume, headbanging music as it compliments their vigor. 'TYG' from Megan thee Stallion & Spiritbox.

โ™กโƒ• "Cupid bow lips". Bottom lip being plumper than the top; "fuller". Beauty mole(s) on the face or chin, above the mouth too. Using white lip liner or concealer for a signature makeup look ("added touch"). Distinct characteristics pertaining the face; statement piece [earrings, eye makeup, hair accessories].

THE LOVER GIRL IS A HOPELESS ROMANTIC, A PERSON THATโ€™S ENCOMPASSED TO THE BELIEF OF HAVING [THEIR] TRUE LOVE. "Hopelessly devoted to you," comes to mind, a song that expresses the inner monologue this pile has ["everyday"]. Relationships can become a lifeline, a means of preservation in time of need; love is taken quite seriously, even more so if it's reciprocated. It's attractive to feel appreciated, yearned and cared for by Pile Two's energy; willing to share however many pieces of their heart if itโ€™s necessary.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Bubbly personality keeps this pile from being detected, the wide smiles and "softly glazed" eyes adds onto innocence. People can sense there's something more, carnal energy that's held from unleashing. I feel that there's Cancerian-Libran placements because the perception of them reminds me of pink bows and sugarplums. Cute, but only because their deviance is hidden ["in plain sight"]. "Naughty Girl" by Beyonce. There's more to them than meets the eye, as it's tempting others to come taste or try (lots of probing one's sexual identity can occur). โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Alchemy is a curated, learned skill and it's Pile Two's way to the Universe. Tumultuous rebirths are recurring, made to "force" them into shape; changing course throughout their journey is attractive. Learning and applying hard lessons in order to receive whatever they wish for. An enigma is how they're perceived, someone that's checked out when they're not immersed in another world. Going throughโ€”or "experiencing"โ€”transformations will affect their overall appearance. Erasing an identity from the past, embracing change for a clean slate, shedding skin with hair and clothing. Their presence leaves people's blood rushing.

HIGHLY EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT, THEY CAN FIND THEMSELVES LONGING FOR HEIGHTENED SENSE OF AFFECTION IN OTHERS. An emptiness can rest inside them, but it's just because they're familiar with vulnerability; an "open book" if it pertains their feelings, being the only person who gets them. Honesty is a fault, because it allows the truth to be set "free". Human embodiment of the Justice card, their Judgement can sever or repair the lives ("energies") of those around. 222 and 333 are angel numbers that indicate progression in life or to urge use of discernment. "Put themselves first."

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Euphoric essence around their beauty, how it's a gift for their highest form. It's specialโ€”a beautiful blessing in physical features. Plush lips, "rosy" undertone(s), pleasant figure and "fleshy" areas (hips, thighs, love handles). Someone that's mesmerizing, the embodiment of Aphrodite's pearl; the birth of beauty. Shapeshifting is likely, as they've earned it with the help from above ("the ethers"). Staying true to what's on the inside and having it bloom on the outside. Dreams in human form. Being noticed [and "adorned"] for their innocence, in personality or facial features. Big, sparkly, animated eyes and "sooty" lashes; resembling Betty Boop; the fattest chipmunk cheeks (can insinuate someone's ass) and so on. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Intention on Pile Two's end shows up in an authoritative sense, when they insert themselves it's because they're tired of the bullshit. Eerily similar to that of a "headmaster", otherwise strictness is a part of their love language. Coddling will only get someone so far, lol this pile's upfront; blunt, but respectful [simultaneously]. This pile won't allow people to run and duck from their problems, only "showing" the option to face them. Those same people are awakened to their fears, abilities, and unnatural desires; they've been found, truly seen. Making people sit up straight and pay attention; "IDGAF if I was late" ie. no one but Pile Two can check them like this. That spunkiness is a treasure alone, but especially cherished for stemming from "unaltered" independence. Praise and worshipping kinks could be prevalent during encounters.

DISARMING PEOPLE WITH CHARMโ€”ALOOFNESSโ€”REMAINS KEY, A COMPONENT THAT OFFERS THE BEST SURPRISE. Playing coy, twiddling thumbs or tucking hair ("biting it" too), it's a game that this pile wins easily. Nobody expects this from Pile Two, not in the slightest because they're too kind. Gentle and 'maternal', nimble like a baby mouse. On the surface, that is. I'm envisioning the slow drip of a faucet, or the articulation of a cat's paw stepsโ€”steady [and deliberate]. This energy reminds me of honey while it drizzles, erotic and warm. This pile's *so* sensual, and it drives a lottttttttt of people insane ("up the walls"). Feline, otherwise 'tactful', energies are present; acquiring or possessing skills in seduction. Mastery in peep shows, teases, and dances for sure. Mastery in peep shows, teases, and dances for sure. "We can't just keep talking about it, I want you to come inside it...I want to get wild" insinuates romantic partners don't want to wait, that they're in the mood anytime they see querent.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Provocative is the best word for this group, they're able to control a room with little to no motion (unless it's on top <3). Can move mountains, crush stone, with nothing but a toe point; very powerful people. Pheromones alone are even enough, it's the sheer nature of it all, this pile's addictive. They may find that their sexual encounters will include overstimulation or force (i.e. domination) because lovers aren't capable of holding it in. Losing coherency, spiraling in Pile Two's "abyss" ("going the extra mile"). Essentially, lovers that'll believe in the red string theory after just one time together. It shocks anyone that's graced a chance to get in bed, the sexual influence is mind warping. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Orgasms come super easily ("almost naturally") when given from them. Their technique(s) to have someone cumming are "sensational", soul touching and tear producing (I smell Scorpio and 12H placements lol). Definitely bestowed with the "magic touch"; skills that beckon one's climax forth. The Enchantress. People reach different heights with them, a "new peak"โ€”reborn for existence ["again"]. People have revelations and awakenings in bed with Pile Two, in which can come about in a matter of minutes or after one orgasm (in other words, tread this force of a skill lightly). Obsessive behavior is prone to arise, 99.8% that it will, because people won't get enough. Querents knowledge on ecstasy is beyond teaching, so much that I sense it's spiritual; an "antidote" for those who aren't "well" (i.e. in heat and addicted).

BEING COINED AS 'THE BEST' SOMEONE'S EVER HAD IS TIED DIRECTLY TO BEING WORTH THE CHASE. Not that this group's only good or made for sex, more so being an expert in that department adds to their prestige. It's giving public reputation, one that's good or possibly envied; 10H prominence. King of Pentacles is the emblem of high social standing, respect and utmost value; the spread itself clarifies the admiration of Pile Two from different POVs. May mirror the 'WAG effect', but with them as the celebrity and their partner the wife. Double confirmation for emulating a cat, this is their ownership and haughtiness lmao. Wouldn't be surprised if it was obvious that querents wears ["and buys"] the pants in romantic connections, I even sense being worshipped by choiceโ€”love's in a glass case for the public to see. May mirror the "WAG effect", but Pile Two isn't the wife (they're the "breadwinner").

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Physique is coming in similar to Pile One (check it out if called), more pronunciation on the upper half tho. The breasts (chest) are "opulent", so possibly on the fuller cup side or give off an illusion (i.e. being big). "Full moon" is what I'm channeling which gives off that their breasts hold the emphasis on moon; Cancer placements (Sun, Moon, Mars), weightier feel, stretch marks or birthmarks across (or around) them. "Pushup bra", meaning that area is noticeable. Anatomy aside, breasts equate to maternal characteristics. Being domestic, caring for those around them, owning an apartment and a dogโ€”signs that potential partners associate to good parenting. "With child". Breeding and having babies/getting this pile pregnant are major fantasies because they carry the imagery of how a "mother" should be. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ The softest people are in this pile and not just referring to vibes; skin, hair, lips, and legs are reminiscent of warm butter (which can point to glowing). I see the definition of radiance within their regime. Wearing whipped scents and perfumes of dreams, they kiss every room with succulence. A mango of a person, each part of them quenching people's thirst. Softness also indicates being a safe haven, or "stress relief", [a peace of mind] for close connections in their lives. Lol I'm even imagining a stress ball ("magenta"), like querent is a few people's security blanket. Giving out the best hugs and sweetest smile. Nothing overtly sexual, seduction is their aura. Comforting, dependable [with reason], and trustworthy; characteristics that whisper "this is a good person".

โ™กโƒ• Humorous people, like will make an entire room fold under pressure and BOL. "Practical jokester" and "professional yapper". Dragging people along; "jittery" or full of enthusiasm. Big kid as an adult, could even giggle a "ton". Dimples, smile lines, โ€œeye crinklesโ€ are present. Sun could be in cardinal houses [1H, 4H, 7H, 10H].

โ™กโƒ• Oral, both giving and receiving, is a favorite. Mouths are "heated", almost like steamy hot tub water. Head that's slow and deliberate; "toe curling", "sheet gripping". Keeping a lover in place, holding their legs apart or keeping them pinned [for max pleasure]. Learning new techniques, tricks and "treats" for a five star experience. Pluto could be in cardinal houses [1H, 4H, 7H, 10H].

โ™กโƒ• Feeling the same as โ€œbubblegumโ€ pink, having an aura thatโ€™s saturated in sugariness. Pinkalicious (brat); getting their way in love and not having to do much in return. Pink skin after getting spanked, undertones that show "flush". "Sweetest Pie" by Megan thee Stallion & Dua Lipa (similar vibes). Skill in baking or treats ("top notch"), confectionary sugar. Using their goods as [or "for"] a temporary love spell.

โ™กโƒ• Goodhearted with a 'girl/boy next door' quality, would be a TV show's comfort character [otherwise most popular]. Happiness evokes the distinction of the โœจ emoji; "higher frequencies." Eloquence of Disney princesses or princes; "ain't no sunshine when she's gone." Transmuting pain, turning it into better days [or "Good Days" by SZA]. Positive influence, specifically on elders. Singing can be therapeutic and a skill.

โ™กโƒ• Masturbation and alternative self-pleasure tactics can be chronic. Satisfying their needs, practicing affirmative moaning (e.g. moaning out loud and looking in a mirror). Instills confidence with sexualityโ€”revealing clothing, "fiercely" looking makeup (winged liner, "blood" red lips), sexual discipline [on their time]. Can't be tied down, like ever. Has options for different days of the week ("separate occasions"); a playa. Could be Martian (Mars dom).

โ™กโƒ• Maternal instincts and having a knack for domesticity, "family oriented". Dreams of birthing [or raising] children; adopting pets (i.e. owning multiple). Children "flock" to them, feel seen and understood from an adult POV ("trustful"). Dependable to friends. Proficient in babysitting or caretaking the youth; babies and toddlers "favorite person."

BRIGHT DIAMONDS FEEL REVELANT IN COMPARISON TO PILE THREE'S RARITY. On the surface it seems they're forlorn and stoic or repressed and grim. Misunderstood and judged until an opportunity to see all of them arrives; "guarded" but authentic ("100%"). Querents may emulate the solemness in renaissance oil paintings. Given the chance to drop their guard, they'll ease into vulnerability. Not entirely, just enough to witness them relax. It's public knowledge that they're forced to be on [the] edge, and that it's near impossible to get off alone. This pulls people in, as if they're rushing to get closer; want to be querents knight in shining armor. "If I'm worthy enough?" People dream to sought out after this pile's approval, and coming to the realization is sexy.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Querents of this pile are made of stone. Their energy is immovable, it's not made to crack ["shatter, or break"]. Willow trees make up their intelligence, these are teachers of power (strength and discipline). I see them as "silent, but deadly", as silence ("Hermit mode") is the shield. Saying nothing and knowing it all. Intelligence comes to mind, alluding to mental influence on others. Potential partners could find themselves having an urge to do better; heighten their knowledge, sharpen their skills, complete a craft. Lmao however, Pile Three wouldn't have even told them to go do it, those partners would've done it all by themselves for Pile Three ("just because"). Power is definitely a thriving source here. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Determinative and empowered, querents are forthcoming regarding goals, ambitions, and accomplishments; success seems to "follow" them, but that's due to it being a source of comfort. Channeling the drive to "succeed" is found in creative or musical pursuits [if not about career]. It's not unheard of that this pile fights to the end of Earth to conquer a triumph (spirit of a warrior). This is perceived seductively as it displays to the world how perseverant they will be; "nothing that can be taken away" because it's what they know how to easily obtain.

THE LYNX WITH A SOLUTION IS HOW THIS PILE IS REPRESENTED TO OTHERS, PLUS ROMANTIC PARTNERS. Unpredictable, braggadocious, reactive, and relentless; characteristics in common as they're shaped from a similar mold. Intuition is a prevalent factor as well, because like a lynx, Pile Three can interpret anyone's energy (i.e. "read the room") and quickly adjust. Watchful gaze and all. Analyzing sceneries has led them into assessment, coined the role of lieutenant. It's prominent for sure, I'm hearing "dictator" as in this is how querents come off. It's "unsettling", but in the way that rolls tingles up your spine. Commanding and directing is attached to them as a personality trait, it's born from their urge to take initiative. Doing things, learning things, attempting things at the drop of a dime and asserting their authority by getting it finished.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Querents are able to play hot and cold (like the song), inevitably putting people in a box labeled "undetermined"; people don't know where they stand, might not even know how to, just because Pile Three never tells. Like a magician pulling a trick and walking offstage even with the audience unbeknownst to how it worked. "Let me in" is what people scream internally, while jumping through hoops and hell to prove that they're worth the risk. Maximum effort to impress querents, or at the very least get them to "reconsider" dropping their defense. "Lower their expectations", so partners can dream of a real chance. Safe to say that querents are more likely to give "tests" with no thought about reviewing them. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ It's highly plausible that assertion on Pile Three's end is a coverup over their ["raging"] insecurities. Internal, external, mental or physical doubts hide under their reign ("rule"), it's easier for querents to take charge in all areas because they can't control their mind. Before spiraling, before "shutdown" (mass destruction); breathing techniques ("practice") helps level them out when in the midst of breakdowns. Personal lives can be on the brink of crumbling to querents, this is a result of 'unhealthy' home environment(s) as they grew olderโ€”interpersonal relationships were likely affected most. Codependency is a result from this unhealed wound ("wounds"), as it feels like something physical will heal the void rather than actual treatment (e.g. therapy). Addiction to sex, substance, work, or gambling is rather prevalent, so seductiveness comes in the form of sinful vices. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Pile Three was the only group to receive an extra card, which happens to be about making decisions and stepping outside comfort zones [2 of Wands]. I found this interesting considering this pile has trouble taking [and making] leaps of faith, they live by the rule of a schedule (anything outside of that doesn't see light of day fr); someone [according to the number two] could change that. Show them a whole new world outside of expectations, routine, and boredom lmao. What gets querents to open up and breathe for once, that this someone gives them space to register, download, and process; they feel like being alone with the lights off, something Pile Three wouldn't mind sharing with them in real life; "let them in".

WHAT'S SEDUCTIVE IN BED โŸถ ๐ŸŽด4oC. the Hanged Woman. 10oP. the Devil. 8oW. Deathโ†บ [bod].

CHAMELEONS MARK QUERENTS ALTERNATE IDENTITY ("SPLIT PERSONALITY"), A SIDE OF THEMSELVES THAT ISN'T COMPOSED AND HIDDEN. It feels like the confines of a private party; hair messy, lips smudged, phone lost but the music keeps jumping. They're spinning round and round, pulling whoever's nearby into their circle. This shows in moments of comfort; setting a mood outside of their walls and head. Enjoying themselves to the max and inviting others to unwind also. It is sexy to loosen up and let your hair down, it's a "birthright" to bask in the moment. An outlook on free will that serene is destined for greatness, others can see it. In the bedroom, Pile Three turns the encounter into hotel service; five star rating from all the guests.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Dominatrix/Dominant is the intensity I'm feeling, querent has the presence of a god. Everything's gone cold, lights are low and silence is near. "Secretary", E. Edward Gray vibes times ten (I even picture them cracking back an extra long whip). Definitely, definitely, definitelyyyy making people become their little slutsโ€”overworking their existence with their own pleasure (woah :P). Indicates incessant teasing ("edging"), praise or punishment, and submission (mentally, physically). "Silence?" coming in could represent the use of rules, or it can be the calm after their partner's orgasm. Shutting down and regenerating all from Pile Three's conditions [e.g. sensory deprivation and multiple rounds]. Itโ€™s sexual Fear Factor, and many would love to play. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Vanilla lovers are common and likely easily influenced; Pile Three gains the upper hand over others, but it's used to explore their fantasies. "How many licks to turn you out?" hence the overall dynamic of bedroom activity. Degradation when inflicted could dance on the harsher end (e.g. face smacking), but this also says meanness is a raging turn on (both querent and partner).

IT'S PLAUSIBLE THAT PEOPLE ARE SEDUCED DURING SEX, BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE ENCOUNTER THEY'RE LOSING THEMSELVES JUST TO BE FOUND. Pile Three inhibits the role of a teacher, borderline disciplinarian, but all in the language of tough "love". Essentially, the dominance from them helps their partners with self discovery; helps them develop a newfound confidence in their identity. "Secretary" is coming in again, which isn't surprising since this pile resonates with the movie's theme. The main character, Lee, is a representation of querents spouse throughout their transformation; "on the path to redemption" with their own bodies. Butterflies floating from their cocoons to venture somewhere that's not homeโ€”these partners are butterflies once Pile Three travels along their bliss and ecstasy [as in life changing sex ;)].

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Oh, this the pile into wrapping their bedroom partners in rope or fluffy black cuffs; into withholding sweet relief when they have to cum. I'm hearing "soft", which alludes to a gentler side emerging whenever it's time to tie someone up [or implement use of bondage]. Fondness develops once Pile Three leans into this dynamic of rewards for submission; partners light up at the dualism because it reminds them that they're "loved" (i.e. cared for). โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Pile One had significant messages revolving around querents voice, and it's the same for Pile Three. Going off the downloads about demand and control, what's specifically seductive is hearing them speak; giving "instructions", whispering little nothings, essentially melting people's eardrums with word salad. Lol, it reminds me of how certain celebrities are urged to read audiobooks. It's erotic, but it's even better when it's meant for one person ("partner") to hear. I'm also channeling the use of querents voice, in the sense that they're vocalists in bed: "do it like that", "stay there", "i'm so close", "you feel that", etc. They're in [no way] afraid to praise or chide how their experience feels, dissatisfaction isn't an answer.

โ™กโƒ• Victimization, "prone to experiencing projection." People pushing ideas onto their persona, not accepting querents for who they actually are. Black sheep ["of friends"]. Edgelord (traits). Pluto in 1H, 2H, or 3H. Sun could be in a water sign [Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces] and in 6H.

โ™กโƒ• High profile, appearance is that of a model. "Diamond face"; head shape is acute, sharpened and definitive (e.g. strong jawline). Cheekbones accentuated with contour and highlighter "blush". Straight or "queen" shaped brows. Scorpio in Moon, Venus, or Mars.

โ™กโƒ• Talking and letting it "all out" during sexual encounters. Directing people how they wantโ€”need* to be pleased. Definitely talks someone through it; softly whispering the filthiest shit ever lol. Stern and direct. Influence is in their "reasonings", natural convos imitate public speeches ("PSAs"). Presence that'd do wonders in a governmental field (the Pentagon, CIA, secret service). Mercury in 8H, 12H, conjunct IC (4H).

โ™กโƒ• Rolling Stone' by the Weeknd reflects their inner thoughts ("monologue"). Missing people [or a person] that doesn't exist; lonely by ["a"] fault. Stoners, "being stoned" from troubles, using escapism as defense. Caged bird, but an escape isn't near (false). Father Time [Saturn] gifts them wisdom with maturity; development is their "greatest" friend. Meditative yoga, journaling, or music ground them tremendously.

"Lumpsums" and it's a new car. Good karma surrounding finances, regime, and knowledge [seemingly 6H]. Could know friends who know "friends" [business opportunities, success]. "Hustlers."

Incorporates "spectacles" in everyday fashion (sunglasses, reading glasses, fun patterned glasses). Accessories that stand out like their music; multi-genre playlists that's all their taste. Into fruit smoothies or Greek yogurt. "Unconventional" (lifestyle).

THE CONNECTION TO THIS PILE WAS INSTANTANEOUS, MEANING QUERENTS ARE "TRANQUIL" IN SPIRIT, FLUID IN ENERGY. Pile Four's essence reminds me of coconut trees in Hawaii, leaves fluttering from the warmest of breezes; "tropical island" but in the form of their inner self. Child of the seas. Water nymph in her prime, having a beautiful voice is within this comparison; lessons will develop the clarity of their singing, "choir like" vocals. Aromatherapies could soothe disruptions querents face, scent itself is a huge part of their presence period. "Musk", "gourmand"; smelling delectable, but with an added hint of spice (e.g. cinnamon base). I'm downloading wafts of vanilla, caramel, cotton candy, and chocolate. A guilty pleasure, otherwise delightful to those that can't get a taste ["even tho they want to so bad"].

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Eyes are the most seductive feature of this pile, like the amount of pressure ("pleasure") people get after locking eyes is immense as hell. Naturally intense, resembling that of a tiger'sโ€”narrowed and penetrating. "Big ego". Sexiness can be found within their pupils, a tenacious gleam once it's turned on. Transformations are recurring here and partly because Pile Four chooses who they want to "be", slipping on a mask as if they're dressing for the part. "Which era am I stepping into today?" I'm channeling the planet Pluto, so there could dominant or prominent influence in the chart; querents have much passion hidden behind those irises and it hooks people. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Charitable, generous beings reside within; attention is focused on Pile Four's desires to donate or give back. Not only partners, but people will generally find that level of empathy to be attractive. Humble and rich, whether that's in material assets or spiritual abundance, querents aren't hesitant to share. Pentacles are associated to wealth, so income is especially prominent; "big bank", accumulating revenue through their purposefulness. Humanitarianism is beloved from Pile Four because it's seen as genuine ("from the heart"). Forewarning to repress any sign of bragging, boasting, or full out greed since these are funds tied to karma; Saturn is the driving force because it's all hard earned and deserved, but he won't allow them to forget where they came from. Good behavior equals no testing trials or lessons, we want to keep it that way lol.

ENDEARMENT FROM THE COLLECTIVE WILL BE APPARENT; PEOPLE FIND IT QUITE DIFFICULT TO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH PILE FOUR. I believe it's their truth and honesty, because they're undoubtedly the peacemaker for a *lot* of people's situations ("shortcomings"). "You've got a friend in me", meaning querents don't bash, they just expect better. Respect blooms once bathed in that light, it's "justified" (i.e. deserved). Honoring an opinion or perspective from this pile, because it's "essential for growth". Sun conjunct [or "trine"] Mercury or MC only emphasizes this air of importance. Utilizing communication and publicly speaking will be a part of this pile's rite of passage lol, definitely meant to be heard out loud (e.g. fighting for rights as a career). Also, raising awareness for a specific subject ("sensitive", controversial) will be a focal point regarding their presence in societyโ€”trailblazers.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Personally, I'd be wary of the people this pile's around because some people are attracted to their sadness. With ill intention this is obviously weird, but harmless attraction would just be someone wanting to "save" Pile Four. Since they're one with inner power, it seems that nothing can shake their stability until it does. It's arousing when querents are in need because they usually never are; never asking for help, won't accept it neither [at least to anyone around that knows firsthand]. It's giving "the damsel's *finally* in distress", like people would leap in front of traffic if it meant they'd get to Pile Four first. Ngl, the other end of this spectrum is very loudโ€”witch hunt vibes, as in "enemies" are literally praying to see querents suffer. Could be prominent later in life, but regardless I felt called to insert a message. Oddly, it's higher ups (bosses, managers) harboring this level of resentment; threatened by Pile Four's strength and potential [to succeed]. Be extremely cautious when at work (or in a workspace), I sense sabotage and framing ("accidents") when we know the real. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ While listening to music, I found myself coming across two separate versions of the same song; one was better than the other, which led me to believe that Pile Four experiences (or "will experience") copycatting and comparison from others. Specifically, partners or suitors who're in committed relationships and fail to keep querents out their fantasies. "Do it better" is being channeled, which also reminds me of being validated for something special ["that no one else has"]. Not to promote infidelity or being someone's sidepiece, but the favoritism isn't really being hidden lmao. This pile must be invested in spirituality or at the very least into the law of "what goes around comes around", because they're not tempted by any bait. They remember who karma is and how she operates, I don't picture them dipping into people's relationships for harmful doing at all. Using someone to their advantage, yes, but allowing themselves to come second place when someone's already first, hard pass.

DISCOVERING THAT THERE'S ANOTHER SIDE TO SOMEONE SECLUDED IS SUCH A HOT LITTLE SECRET, AND PILE FIVE'S IN ON IT ("DEVIANCY"). Seduction is their strip tease, a dance where each turn and grind is another piece of clothing on the floor. It's as if the quiet island essence drowned beneath heavy passion and eroticism. "Drenched." For some, private encounters ["at night"] could be a habitual pastime, a "hobby". Stress reliever it is, and partners will find joy in being the outlet. Enamor is found at the base of sexual encounters, as in partners find themselves "sinking" into querents love [let alone fall].

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ The card spread is a telltale significator of being a freak, definitely needing someone who can "match it" all the same. Like the signs are signing, from the Fool (openness in sexual ideas) at the bottom of the deck to the eroticism that surrounds (encloses) me. I feel that loyalty and trust are the keys to Pile Five's sexual shop. Think those 18+ Instagram posts that're like, "I look innocent, but for that one person I'm the opposite." Querents are a personification of that energy, they're hard to read [sexually] unless someone's intentions say differently. Roleplaying could be a kink that's enjoyable, especially in a maid's outfit or "teacher student" attire; the effects of role reversal instill stability and confidence in their romantic relationships. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ King of Swords came through and despite not having an actual place in the spread, the card came with a download about Pile Four's ability to "take it". Be it longer length of a dick/dildo, nonstop orgasms, or multiple roundsโ€”they're handling everything like a pro ;). "Extremely commendable." People's mouths are going to drop and hang open just from witnessing the durability in person, "making it disappear" isn't common. I'll even insert anal, just because it fits the bill in this context (taboo doesn't exist).

SCENTS HAVE WAFTED TO THE SEXUAL SIDE, PUTTING EMPHASIS ON THE "SMELL" OF DESIRE. Smelling lovely, carrying an ambience of rose petals and candlelight. I've compared another pile to being an aphrodisiac and it also applies to querents; pheromones cloud and permeate the senses of partners, keeps them strung ["on what they're going to have"]. It's telling how drawn in they are, I see them hanging around Pile Four like flies to fresh fruit. Nobody likes to let go, in turn encouraging themselves to stay; "know I gotta leave, but I want to stay." Hearts growing fonder no matter the distance. Selena Quintanilla's presence and aura to the collective, and how that light is missed everydayโ€”Pile Four.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Naturalness is liberation to querents, their body hair isn't shunned or shamed. "Carefree". Bushes are attractive to not only them, but their lovers as well. It's the normalcy of two people bonding in bed, I think it's a ["stress"] relief to turn off being perfect just to be human. Feels bohemian in the sense of living by the choice; inspiring body positivity. Innocent, but it's attractive enough that partners want to "go down" more frequently ;P. It just adds more uumph to an encounter. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ There's a specific person that came in, someone who devotes ("dotes") their happiness on Pile Four's satisfaction (*for some*). Regardless, I'm channeling messages about foot massages and bathtubs ["together"]; "extreme" TLC after passionate sessions; chocolates fed to them, etc. Romcom acts of service, sweet nothings and dates as long as they're treating querents (i.e. together). Whoever this energy belongs to, they're practically marriage material [and a munch].

โ™กโƒ• Tons of fame indicators, querents could find themselves in the public eye once this lifetime. Skepticism around their authenticity, and if they're "cut out" for the scrutiny (otherwise backlash). Nitpicking about appearance being "too hot" and "sexy". Wild and famous. Sun (โ€œconjunct Mercuryโ€) or Lilith could be in 10H. Could have personal planets or placements in Capricorn or Libra [i.e. Saturn ruled].

โ™กโƒ• "Eye catching" type of beauty. Attractivity resembles that of a model, influencer, or "guru"; gorgeous ass people. Androgynous features (well balanced between masc and fem energies). Exhibits the cut and value ("grace") of pink white diamonds. Could be Venusian [Rising, Moon, and Venus in Libra].

โ™กโƒ• Virgin, practicing celibacy, or abstinence; haven't had penetrative sex "yet". Staying to themselves, rejecting new partners (flings), respect around the body. "Not letting anyone touch." Body isn't a joking matter, taken very seriously. Potential health scares [or "hospital visits"]. Prone to sending, posting, or saving nude pics.

โ™กโƒ• Expensive jewels in their favorite pieces of jewelry; never seen without it [necklace, bracelet, โ€œpendantโ€]. Red rubies or emeralds could have significance (e.g. birth stone, parentโ€™s name etc.). People see them as โ€œluxuriousโ€. Debbie Jellinksy in โ€˜Addams Family Valuesโ€™. Spoiled babies, but not without reason. Bargainers [โ€œand dealsโ€]. Jealous themes regarding fashion, beauty, and influence (themselves included).

โ™กโƒ• Going into hiding, "Hermit mode" for a soul cleanse (refresher). Transformative as hell. Disappearing for months at a time just to reappear a "new" person; even more beautiful, "collected", and better than before. Unrecognizable (in a good way). "Money Longer" by Lil Uzi Vert. Pluto dominant, their ability to shed skin and birth anew is apparent ("respected"). Noticed in *every* room they've ever stepped in ("blessing and a curse").

โ™กโƒ• Free the oppressed (โ€œPalestineโ€ and more); boycotting message, either to start or continue. Stop drinking coffee from Starbucks, itโ€™s being frowned upon [โ€œspiritual guidanceโ€], people's lives are at stake. Theyโ€™re importantโ€”they matter.

PILE FIVE'S PRESENCE IS ILLUMINATED BY THEIR OUTER PROMINENCE, THEIR "STAR" SHINE (HENCE THE STAR CARD). I've noticed that all five piles have this certain glow to their energies, their personalities can revive a dark room. In this instance, Pile Five's personality is what's alluringly magnetic, it's "seduction" at its truest form. Envision if a person wanted to build their lover, they'd pick characteristics from querents admirabilities. "Sensuous" and amicable, somehow much more than expected (alongside individual uniqueness). Adept with an artistic approach, querents bestow fine talentsโ€”performing onstage (i.e. singing, dancing), creative writing, interior or fashion design, etc. Makes them exceptionally special, more so in the public eye; "starstruck". "Nice & Slow" can allude to querents steadiness in attaining their goals, taking the long route for lasting (rewarding) results.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Embodying traits of people's ideal person (i.e. "perfection") is one of the main factors of being seduced; reminding them that humans aren't one dimensional, that we're made up of universal qualities. Humor would be the best example, because it's not a requirement to be with someone funny, until you realize that you love to laugh. Pile Five has this natural likeliness, they're able to be relatable without coming off as a flake ("try hard"); they're a breath of fresh air, a "relief". Youthfulness is a key factor as well, subtle mannerisms and expressions that thump through people's hearts; "twinkling eyes" and sweet smiles. The wonder in querents eyes is especially prominent, everyone notices at first glance. Literally the Star card, lighting up the nighttime. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ I envision this pile having many friends, being the favorite person in a lot of people's lives. A bestfriend, even to passing strangers. I'm hearing "polly pocket", which says people don't ["ever"] want to outgrow playing with Pile Five. (i.e. spend time with them). Spilling secrets, getting/giving advice, and trusting forever comes with this pile's care package lol; they're the sun for someone else's rainy day ("a confidant"). All above is the answer to "what's so beautiful about them?" Inner beauty is perceived to be felt "by all". Beautiful generosity is what I'm hearing, so querents hospitality is noteworthy. Getting-people-awestruck energy.

QUERENTS DEMEANOR DANCES ALONG THE LINES OF BEING RESERVED AND STRICT. BEING DEFINITIVE IS THE BETTER WORD, THEY'RE APT TO EARNESTY. If Virgo placements are present then this level of poise comes effortlessly, it's a part of them. Primitive and prestigious, people find these attributes to be "fascinating". Miranda Priestly from "the Devil Wears Prada" is who I visualize Pile Five to be; attentiveness to detail, pristine image from successes, a name upheld by its holder. Her character struts with diligence and strives for the greatest opportunities (it's in querents presence). Not letting up on a goal and seeing it to the end draws everyone in; "making shit happen" with devotion catches everyone's attention (enamoring).

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Getting feisty and excessive cussing is a part of querents likability; "randomness" in their words or expressionism. Lol "loudmouthing" is coming in, so they're bound to going off in the heat of moment ["or any time of day"]. The wheel generator (unexpectedness) of their speech is their bat signal, but especially when they're feeling mean. People may project weakness onto this pileโ€”not taking them seriouslyโ€”until it's their turn to get told off ("caught in the crossfire"). Harmless until they detonate :P, people are reminded that Pile Five has two separate sides. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Their facial features are accentuated for luring (attracting) attention "wherever they are"; recognition for how irresistible they look to other people. Characteristics of an "angel", plump (cherubic) cheeks or apple like cheekbones. Highlighter serves them well, makes their appearance "radiant", can resemble the Sun. Broad shoulders, toned calves, or a built figure; seduction in their flex, or in moments where they're on display (e.g. in a swimsuit). I see them invoking the spirit of a Taurus [bull] and arousing tenaciousness in lovers. If it was possible to do, someone would paint Pile Five's face to hang in the Louvre.

HAVING AN EFFECTS OF HEAVY DRUGS WOULD BE AN IDEAL REFERENCE TO PILE FIVEโ€™S SEDUCTIVENESS. All it takes is just one dose, because right after that is when the addiction begins (i.e. obsessive lovers). It's not uncommon for this group to attract internet watchers or stalkers, otherwise past partners that don't want to leave them alone; "can't get enough" of their love, aimlessly wondering if Pile Five's wondering too. "Made for everyone", as in "one taste and you're whipped". Don't be afraid to indulge, especially if it's the best you'll ever get. The pile that got away for a lot of past lovers [111, 1111 is significant].

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Wetness and fluids are big with querents, the first thing I channeled was "water fountain" (cream). It's making me giggle, because private areas can be seen as a "problem" from producing so much liquid. This can indicate "magic" genitals, private parts sprinkled in glitter. Orgasms from this pile are the "gift that keeps on giving", like people's self-worth (value) end up skyrocketing lol. "Heaven sent" plus the gift of pleasure leaves the impression of God's angel on others. Breeding or ["multiple"] creampies as a kink, because lovers find themselves absorbing the excess ("wanting it all", if you catch my drift..). Water is heavy [throughout the spread] which confirms many messy situations ;). โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ Lips, lips, lips: kissing and feeling them is an experience, a solidified moment in anyone's lives if they're granted the chance. Pile Five's kisses (mouth in general) is an escape, a getaway the promised land ["of ecstasy"]. Kisses are delectable, tasting dessert-esque (sugary, savory). Flavors of peppermint or "candy" is prominent, otherwise satiating the desire. Also, the red lips on Sabrina's cover art gives me the idea of being kissed all over; the body, face, and "soul". A level of expertise this high means Pile Five is [or will be] a lot of people's "first"; love, orgasm, or fulfilling relationship. I don't believe there's anything about them that won't get someone turned on and yearning.

AS IT'S BEEN SO POTENT, PILE FIVE'S ACCESS TO A HIGHER SOURCE OF POWER IS GRATIFYING; DIVINITY LIES WITHIN BED, IT'S AN AWAKENING OUTSIDE OF THE BODY. Sex is inherently spiritual, because to partners the encounter isn't "of this Earth". To me, I envision it as beams of light poking (pouring) through the mind and spirit of whoever's with this pile, essentially aligning physical pleasure to mental (i.e. their psyche) bliss. That's to say, any form of sex is tantric and transcendental. People will be taken aback (at first), but that's due to the encounter being as sacred as it is; the intention (or "practice") is too important to interrupt before it begins.

โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ It's hard to not claim this pile as being perfect, but omg the downloads just validate the sentiment. There's not one hair on querents body that isn't adorned and appreciated, this reigns even more true if they're in a committed connection (i.e. special person). No matter how they envision themselves, to the collective their existence is "exalted" and favored. Skin could even glow during and after sex, because they're so cherished; "everything they think they aren't" is debunked at their most vulnerable (nakedness). Laving on their sensitive spots (legs, thighs, feet) is a token of gratitude from lovers, it'll happen frequently considering how devoted to Pile Five they'll be. โ™ฐโ™ฐโ™ฐ This is coming in so intensely, querents have the mouth of an oral [sex] god. Nothing short of a munch, they leave marks with their tongue or throat; pulling people into their utopia (i.e. ecstasy). Ecstasy is recurring word for this pile, hence being compared to a drug, an indicator for sex that's "numbing". During head, partners are bound to throw their heads ["and hands"] upwards. The pressure of being sucked into the void is "stilling", the calm before a ravage storm. Lmao, they get people stuck with their mouths on 'o'. Minds on cloud nine, limbs so light from relaxation they "could float"โ€”blown. This pile is made up of lovers that give and give, until they can't give anymore. It's as if oral is a "souvenir", an experience meant to be collected forever more.

Lightning strike(s) of a person, turns heads and charges surroundings with their intensity; energy is incomparable. Uranus could be a part of big three [Sun, Moon, Rising], Uranus dominant or in 1H/2H. Authors (writing can "revitalize" people, give them a wakeup call).

โ™กโƒ• Connected to their highest form ("truest self"), receives messages through [or "from"] the Universe. Alienlike; "not of this Earth." What's on the inside (soul) reflects what's on their "face" (e.g. feeling good internally so they're extra smiley in person). Balanced. "Sacral chakra" alignment is a godsend for sex [can top or ride well]. Stomach is people's favorite part; birthmark, belly piercing, tattoo(s) above the waist.

โ™กโƒ•Insecurities are a part of them; "stories" about overcoming disappointment. Secretive to a fault ("can hold water" forever). Believes in trust and exposing what's on the insideโ€”"bareface" (might also be more present at their "rawest"). Holds the key to the world (i.e. everyone's secrets). Consciousness. Lmao, fucking with them is a spiritual ass whooping full of drawbacks [and lessons]. Powerful ancestors (spirit team).

โ™กโƒ• "Thank you" is their passage to life. Grateful for the smallest and largest things; "tearing up" over sentiments. Type to thank their lover for giving them orgasms ["submissive"]. "Soothing" voices; can converse or "rock" anyone to sleep (comforting). Cancer placements could be prominent [Sun, Moon, Venus][Lunarian].

โ™กโƒ• "Bed Chem" by Sabrina Carpenter, might be "short and sweet". Emulates the energy of a little person ("smol"). Hair can be long, full and thick too [great for tugging, wrapping, or "pulling" in bed]. Cocoon, people don't want [them] to leave. Rich and "domestic" (motherly) singing voice. People like (love) to hear them whisper [Mercurial].

โ™กโƒ• Artistic (artists at heart); creativity is all they know, all they breathe. Life path number 3/4, 5m [artistry]. Would do well onstage, might've experienced Broadway, could dream of visiting ("talent"). Pleasers (they're really submissive); lovers give them "everything" (i.e. drowning in ecstasy). Devotion is a personality trait. Pisces could be a part of their big six [Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, Mars][Neptunian].

"I Want A Love That'll Last Forever" - Saturn In Synastry

"I Want A Love That'll Last Forever" - Saturn in Synastry

When Saturn aspects personal planets in synastry, it creates a bond that's forged in fire in iron. This means that come hell or high water, y'all will always feel a deep unrelenting devotion to one another. It's always feeling a sense of reliability between each other or towards the person it affects more. Of course it takes more than the 'promise' of forever - There's commitment and diligence.

But Saturn aspects make it easier to stay the course for the long haul. Even harsh major aspects or confusing minor ones have a 'sticking' effect. Like, even if this person seems difficult, you still keep coming back to them or vice versa. Imo, this may result in feeling a comfort in the familiarity and security of a relationship opposed to who it's with. Squares and oppositions also suggest there's a fear or anxiety around commitment because of the looming 'what happens next?' that can contribute to someone projecting fears of being trapped or controlled and require their autonomy to be respected somewhere. But they're workable.

However, in my professional and personal experience, issues with Saturn directly point to deeply rooted hangups around how secure you felt around your parents and early childhood environment growing up. It can create a mistrust of those in a place of authority in our lives bc so&so wasn't there, was inconsistent, or we were neglected or in a way that makes us crave yet fear stability and security. It's wanting a stable and loving figure but we don't think we're worthy or ready for that because we either never had it or didn't receive it without it disappointing us. Children are meant to be held and consistently supported but not all of us had that. Sometimes our experiences with our caregivers were traumatizing or influenced us to think 'true stability' means we have to over-extend, over compromise, or hurt ourselves further to receive even a crumb of it. That fear can persist in relationships where nothing's seemingly wrong.

From a sociopolitical point of view, this can be an analogy for how because we exist in a constant state of scarcity, we approach relationships from a scarcity-mindset. They feel transactional, fleeting, and in lieu of Saturn--No one feels as if they quite have enough or are getting what they truly deserve.

Saturn in its exaltation in Libra tells us that true security is rich and abundant with plenty to go around but we have to remember it's not 'too perfect' (Libra) for us to receive consistently and at all. We must believe, like children, that we'll be endlessly provided for by the people we love. And that's a general Saturn lesson. If it's not around us, then we must believe it can be found elsewhere.

Couples still together from Love Island: Will & Lyra - Sun-Saturn, (potentially) a Moon-Saturn, Mercury-Saturn, Venus-Saturn, Saturn-Pluto (mostly hard aspects) Hannah & Marco - Sun-Saturn, Moon-Saturn, Mercury-Saturn, and (potentially) another Moon-Saturn if Hannah's Moon's in late Cap (mostly hard aspects)

Taylor & Bergie - Venus-Saturn, Sun-Saturn, Moon-Saturn, and another Venus-Saturn (honestly? expect babies)

Carmen & Kenzo - Saturn-Saturn, Moon-Saturn, Venus-Saturn (babies w/ these too oh my god)\

From doing plenty of research and indulging into my own knowledge, from what Iโ€™ve learned and have experienced, and what others have experienced, Iโ€™ve unraveled a list of aspects, overlays, and connections that show the birth of sizzling attraction between two people. Some of these can be based off feminine (the womenโ€™s) energy and masculine (the manโ€™s energy), but it can still apply for same sexย couplings. You alsoย have to keep in point some of these are based off aspects, so youย donโ€™t need to know their rising sign (but in some you may), but the degree.ย You also have to remember that some of these aspects donโ€™t all mean a promise to a long-lasting relationship or that theyโ€™ll alwaysย manifestย healthily, itโ€™s all about attraction in some form.ย It showsย what makes the heart fonder, the mind cloudier, the air denser, the tension steamer, and the love tethered. Mind over matter? No. Body, heart, and/or soul wins in this case:

Eros/Psyche & other sexually basedย asteroidsย 

As you know, or can find from my directory, Eros and Psyche are my favorite asteroids. These aspects or connections have a โ€œmeanโ€™t to beโ€ feel to them, itโ€™s a potent place to look at in synastry. In mythology they were married and soul mates but went through a lot to be togetherโ€ฆ

-ย His Eros conjuncts her Psycheย 

-Eros and Eros are the same; due to my reasoning, I think this would be highly favorable and steamy. If you think about it, you guys would have the same sexuality that speaks for a deeper side of you than Mars does, and then your mars sign adds more flavor.ย 

-Eros conjunct their personal planets ( Sun,Moon,Venus, Mars etc.). You find them sexually attractive.ย 

-From research Iโ€™ve found other asteroids such as ( Lust, Sappho, Galatea, Adonis, Apollo, Aphrodite, or Vesta) conjunct Marsย that show strong sexual attraction and a romantic admiration. Iโ€™ve noticed this is really potent with Lust.ย 

- Sappho conjunct Venus, Mars, and/or Sun shows a deep bond but how the person of the asteroid messes with the mind of the person with the personal planet. Yet, the Sappho person will want you and will pursue you.ย 

-Apollo conjunct Personal planets. You canโ€™tย help but to love the Apollo person and almostย โ€œworship them,โ€ basically your admiration for them is perhaps strong. They favor you in return.ย 

I will be doing a post about asteroid compatibility soon**************

The Planets

-His sun and her moon conjunct/opposition/trine. For the conjunction, they seem to balance the masculine and feminine energies of these inner planets. These usually have aย โ€œlong-lastingโ€ feel to them and is very common amongst aย โ€œsoulmate feel.โ€ Itโ€™s not blazing hot with sexual energy but itโ€™s for a long-lasting relationship and a romantic feel, it gives satisfying sex along with love.ย 

-Venus conjunct/oppositeย Mars. Mostly works as the girlโ€™s Venus and the guyโ€™s Mars. Itโ€™s pretty famous in astrology and a pretty famous indication of attraction, but some find it a little overrated which shows just how strong it can be at times. I feel like this can happen even if they truly donโ€™t conjunct by degree but it wonโ€™t be as strong, Iโ€™ve seen how this aspect can be so addictive towards the two of them. It can be so strong that no matter how much you try, you canโ€™t resist.ย 

- Venus/Moon aspects. Completely underrated in my opinion. The harmonious aspects such as conjunction and trine are way better. It shows a strong emotional and romantic link. It shows romantic affection and adoration in synastry, itโ€™s a extremely strong thing to look at in both charts. Itโ€™s one of the most romantic aspects.ย 

-Venus/Saturn aspects. Extremely beautiful, strong, but hard to build up to. Therefore it builds endurance but becomes the glue that can hold two together. More so in a square or opposition, If thereโ€™s an attraction sizzling at first, the Saturn person will pursue the Venus person but theyโ€™ll also try to change and perhaps control them. Tension can grow a lot over time and can be overwhelming and too much for the Venus person, which is strong if you have lots of air or water in your chart. Itโ€™s more easier with a Trine or conjunction.ย Regardless, if these two planets make an aspect, itโ€™s a karmic lesson that can aid you, or test you and break you.ย 

- Venus/Uranus aspects. Quick, exciting, zestful, and exhilarating, but only long-lasting if other aspects help. You guys are fascinated with each other, as it creates lots of excitement, adventure, and fascination. If you know the nature of Uranus, itโ€™s about no restrictions and freedom. and if you apply that to love then I think it shows why you also need other aspects to balance that. It can be over-stimulating so look at other aspects.ย 

- Venus/Pluto aspects!ย Much, much, much stronger and steamier than the Venus/Mars aspects. The harmonious aspects make it easier, but this aspect isnโ€™t for the faint-hearted. Itโ€™s something you have to also work through. This almost works like the Taurus (Proserpina) and Scorpio (Hades) relationship, so indulge in it but get ready for the roller coaster. It will be deep, intense, erotic, sexually charged, but deeply emotional nonetheless. It makes the relationship stronger. Much stronger if itโ€™sย looking at his Pluto and her Venus.ย 

-Venus/Neptune aspects. Indicator of finding your soulmate once again, and if you donโ€™t believe in that (which is fine), itโ€™ll give you that feeling. It feels like a fairytale and is extremely romantic, along with spiritual.It feels very ethereal and dreamy, but remember Mr/Miss Venus, donโ€™t put the Neptune person on a pedestal.ย 

-Mars conjunct (or even trine) Uranus. Two words: Kinky Sex. Thereโ€™s a instant attraction and a promise forโ€ฆinteresting but explorative sex. I think this kind of speaks for itself when you combine the nature of both of these planets.ย 

- Moon/ Pluto aspects. Extremely powerful when they Conjunct, second strongest aspect is Trine. The Pluto person will really want every part of the Moon, and will want to know every soulful thing about them. Itโ€™s a strong aspect but not easy to deal with that, it gives a Scorpio taste to your relationship, and itโ€™s not always easy when it comes to the extremes.ย 

-Mars/Pluto aspects. Makes for strong sexual chemistry but not emotional like the above aspect. This is all about the physical arena in the relationship. It can be dangerous and competitive, so you have to be careful of this aspect when it comes to anger and fights.ย 

- Her Moon conjunct his Mars. I feel like this is more emotional then the Venus/Mars aspect, but it may cause so much attraction that you can have lots of sex. Itโ€™s very passionate but his Mars needs to be wary of her emotions, because Mars is assertive and wonโ€™t think twice. So as passionate it is, you have to be wary.ย 

The Aspects (Midheaven, Ic, Ascendant, Descendant)ย 

**look for a Double Whammy, meaning it occurs to both of your charts and is a really evident theme in your relationship ย 

-Cross aspects between one personโ€™s personal planets and/or angles (angles are what Iโ€™veย parenthesized in the title) and the second personโ€™s lunar node. Theย conjunction is seen as the most intense, as someย astrologers only count this aspect (do what you feel is evident). It has a Karmic feel to it.ย ย 

- Similar sense as to above, but your personal planetsย conjunct one of their angles. This is stronger for the Ascendant/rising and/or Descendant.ย 

- Neptune conjunct their luminaries (Sun and/or Moon), other personal planets, and Ascendant or Descendant. This gives a sense of giving into a partner or surrendering your heart to them

-Your/their Mars conjuncts their/yours Midheaven or Ic angle, surprisingly it pulls out strong desires but of course this isnโ€™t always the case. I was surprised when doing research and found this one, but after indulging in to the topic and what Iโ€™ve experienced along with others, it does hold very true.ย 

Juno

-Aspects made, by degree, to the other personโ€™s personal planets are really good and in fact common amongst married couples. This can even be evident for the angles of the MC/IC

Lilithย 

First of all Lilith is for females and not the male, itโ€™s not strongly evident in a males chart unless of course they connect to it.ย 

-Lilith aspects to their/your personal planets (including ascendant/rising). Magnetization is strong and thereโ€™s bountiful amounts ofย obsessive qualities to theย relationship and strong sexual attraction. Lilith is dangerous though, so be careful. It can leave men obsessive or heartbroken as it can break relationships too, it has no logic to it. It acts just like Pluto, so handle with caution. ย 

Vertexย 

Vertex is like the second descendant

-Your/their Vertex conjuncts or is at opposition of any personal planets, angles, or their/your Vertex. It shows a fated relationship that can affect you greatly.ย 

North Nodes

- I talked a little about this for the angles but any connections to the North Nodes do have a karmic andย โ€œmeant to beโ€ feel for them. Not all areย positive and easy but youย should really look there because itโ€™s very soulful.ย 

Overlays

-Any of their Planetsย falling in your 5th,8th, and even 12th house can feel very strong,ย spiritual, romantic, or intense. It depends on the house. My overlay series should help with that.ย

โ™ก 12th house synastry โ™ก

a mutual infatuation between two people who either know right away or figure it out when it is too late. the intensity and the constant speculations that happen here are very bittersweet. love only grows stronger when they're apart, and when they're together they feel like they're on a whole different wavelength than everyone else. there's a sense of familiarity here; not knowing why there's so much comfort yet discomfort that plays out in this connection. the prolonged eye contact to apprehend what the other is thinking, and the art of noticing when nobody else does. something so beautiful ignites here. this is a bond that doesn't require much communication, but rather each other's ideas of one another. just the thought of each other is overpowering. daydreaming, or dreams at night. you will never know truly how both parties feel about each other, sometimes this is because they are both too shy to "ruin" this small fantasy, or they both will act as a "push and pull" dynamic. because 12th house is a water sign house, piscean energy can alter reality by distorting your perception on the individual. they can feel too good to be true, and at times given the "halo treatment." this can feel obsessive without even realizing it. at some point this is a connection that you fear you might need to hide from the rest of the world or keep as a secret. both want to appear perfect for each other especially in the beginning of this bond. this can be a long-lasting connection or "the one that got away." this is also the house of inspiration, both partners can learn a lot from one another and emulate qualities they admire in one another. mimicking gestures, phrases, only things you both know will understand. others may look at you both and see the obvious, but amongst yourselves you will never have that discussion. both people are predictable to one another. there is an innate knowing about each other's feelings, but no efforts being made past observations. it is light-hearted yet deep. this bond feels like a wave that you ride just because it feels okay to secretly admire from afar or up close.

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

What is the Dark Zodiac?

The Dark Zodiac is an eldritch take on the western zodiac with dark archetypes of each sign, which are shown in "Thirteen Ghosts" (2003).

In the film, a twisted millionaire has found and trapped 12 Earth-bound spirits (ghosts stuck on Earth) in a lavish mansion basement. An unsuspecting family inherits and moves into the mansion, thinking they have struck gold. But, the ultimate goal is to acquire God-level power.

Each spirit captured by the millionaire has their own creepy backstory to match the archetype. Today we will explore those spooky stories & learn some shadow traits! ๐ŸŽƒ TW: Death, Self-Harm, SA

Let the spooky stories begin...

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

aries

โ€œThe First Born Sonโ€

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Life was all about gunpowder clouds and sunlit horse rides for young Billy Michaels. The shadow traits of Aries are depicted in a literal child for the โ€œchildโ€ of the zodiac. Billy was a very proud Texan, enamored with the bullet-riddled tales of Cowboys and Indigenous peoples. He would play pretend all day long with his toy gun, truly believing he was a real cowboy with a real gun. An only child, his family allowed the delusion. One day, Billy was challenged by a neighborhood boy to an Old Western style duel. Unbeknownst to Billy, the boy had recently discovered a real bow-and-arrow in his fatherโ€™s closet and perhaps saw a rival in Billyโ€™s cowboy persona. In a bid of childish innocence, Billy steps up to shoot.

Tragically, Billy was shot in the head. The boy was sent to juvenile detention center. This archetype can be compared to the sacrifice or loss of the first born son in scriptural texts or Icarus who flew to close to the sun. We can see the comparison to shadow Aries traits of being a daredevil, bully, reckless, and one-track minded. Youthful arrogance and immaturity. Probably the least frightening of the ghosts, but pretty sad ):

taurus

โ€œThe Torsoโ€

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

The shadow traits of Taurus are cleverly depicted in the form of an actual torso. This particular torso belonged to a New Orleans man named Jimmy "The Gambler" Gambino. A money man through and through, he was about his bucks. With a keen business mind, he opened his own booking operation, which flourished amid the abundance of the Roaring Twenties. Unfortunately, Jimmy was also a compulsive gambler, addicted to the thrill of fast money.

These traits highlight the shadow aspects of Taurus, such as greed, laziness, materialism, and a reactionary natureโ€”much like a bull seeing red. One day, scheming mobster Larry "Finger" Vatelo approached Jimmy with a hefty bet on a boxing match, having heard of his reputation. Greedily, Jimmy accepted the bet, but his fighter lost, and he found himself unable to pay up, as expected. It had all been a setup, just like a bull charging in anger. Vatelo had his men take care of Jimmy, chopping him up and disposing of him in the ocean. This serves as a cautionary tale about the cost of succumbing to carnal desires.

gemini

"The Bound Woman"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

The shadow traits of Gemini show up in a popular teen with the gift of gab. Susan LeGrow was the beautiful daughter of the wealthiest family in town, a cheerleader, and the most popular girl in her schoolโ€”an '80s It-Girl. Having met little adversity in life, she garnered tons of friends and admirers, earning a reputation as a "heartbreaker." It seemed almost destined for her to pair up with the captain of the football team, Chet Walters, during her senior year. However, Susan's yearning for attention prevailed, and Chet was not her "one and only."

This portrayal obviously pulls from the shadow traits of Gemini being deceptive, a trickster, opportunistic, and an eternal adolescent, etc. Tragically, Chet would discover Susan with another guy on their prom night. In a fit of rage, he bludgeoned the young man, bound Susan's hands, and strangled her with his prom tieโ€ฆ breaking her neck. Chet would bury Susan underneath the 50-yard line on the high school's football field. A cautionary tale of entertaining just one too many guests...

cancer

"The Withered Lover"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Cancer is depicted as maternal spirit, of course. Jean Kriticos is a wife and mother of a family that does not fully appreciate her until sheโ€™s gone. Her husband is overworked, and her children are disconnected. But she is the glue. On a fateful December night, a log rolls out of the fireplace and starts a blaze that claims her life. Her husband saves the children, assuming his wife made it outside. Her archetype embodies maternal energy, sensitivity, and protectiveness. Jean is probably the least malicious spirit, with her death being an actual accident.

She also guides her family to safety throughout the film, protecting them while they are stuck in the "home," similar to how the moon guides one through a dark night. However, the shadow side of Cancer here is the smothering mother and the invisible man. She spoiled those she loved, gave all of herself, and was unappreciated until she was gone. The weight of her loss can be felt in the script, as the protagonist must almost instantly hire a live-in nanny. Upon her loss, the family is broken in a way that can only inspire transformation. Perhaps her love was hindering this.

leo

"The Torn Prince"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

We have probably all seen the tragic fall of a "Golden Boy." The shadow side of the prideful Leo is depicted in a harrowing tale of arrogance and pride set in the '50sโ€”James Dean vibes all the way. Royce Clayton was an exceptional high school baseball player, gifted in every way. He was born into a well-off family and had a prized hot rod that only added to his social status: the big fish in a small town. His baseball skills attracted college prospects from all over the country, guaranteeing him a ticket out of his humble hometown. He felt like a god amongst men and could taste the glory. Unfortunately, his gifts also fueled his unchecked and developing narcissistic complex. This plays into the shadow traits of arrogance, pride, and megalomania.

An envious and shady greaser named Johnny challenged Royce to a race, baiting him through Royce's obvious inflated pride. Royce knew he would win, but he did not know that Johnny had cut his brake line. Upon a sharp turn, Royce's car went airborne off a cliff, flipping three times before bursting into flames. His face is torn (part of his pride), and he can also be seen with his favorite baseball bat in the film. The prince who never was.

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

virgo

"The Angry Princess"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

The shadow traits of Virgo are depicted in a sordid tale of perfectionism and sorrow. Dana Newman was a stunning beauty, even considered one of the most gorgeous women in the worldโ€”a model in the business capital of the world. She was surrounded by fast living and even faster trends. Tragically, she lost sight of her own beauty. A slew of abusive partners fueled her secret addiction to "finding" her flaws. I think of Eve, the maiden who was content before the serpent insinuated that she was missing something. Dana sought the friendship of a plastic surgeon, undergoing several facial and body operations to "fix" her perceived flaws.

She even went as far as working for the surgeon as a form of payment for her unnecessary operations, trying to obtain perfection. On one tragic night, Dana flew into an anxious frenzy and attempted to perform an operation on herself. This left her blinded in one eye and permanently disfigured, which was unbearable for poor Dana. Her self-loathing consumed her and she sliced her entire body wildly with a blade while in the bathtub. These shadow traits clearly reflect the Virgo qualities of perfectionism, martyrdom, hyper-fixation, and an insecurity that stems from the mind (Mercury) but does not actually exist.

libra

"The Pilgrimess"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

I cannot help but think of the Ancient Egyptian goddess Ma'at (of Libra) when analyzing the story of "The Pilgrimess." Not to mention, Libra is a cardinal sign and the exalted placement of Saturn (Osiris). This archetype is incredibly threatening to a patriarchal society. Enter Isabella Smith, a woman just arriving in New England in 1686. The locals did not welcome her and did not take kindly to her presence. After the livestock of the colony falls ill, they use this as an ignorant excuse to accuse Isabella of witchcraft. The preacher also fell ill while she tried to plead her case. This makes the townspeople form an anrgy mob. She flees into a barn for safety, but they set it aflame.

Unbelievably, she emerges unscathed, and they are convinced she's a witch. Isabella is imprisoned in the stocks, stoned, and left to die of starvation. It is not confirmed whether she was a witch, but my analysis of the story would say yes. This underhanded power move of vengeance, fearlessness in coming to a new land as a single woman, and surprising knowledge of magic screams shadow Libra. Libra placements are also often victims of the negative side of pretty privilege, with rumors spreading like wildfire concerning their romantic nature.

scorpio

"The Great Child"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Scorpio and Sagittarius are depicted as a duo: child and mother. The raw energies of these archetypes are embodied here. The Great Child is Harold Shelburne. A product of sexual assault, he is born to a little person within a traveling carnival. There, he does not receive the proper social conditioning of a developing child. He never learned how to take care of himself properly, still wearing diapers into his young adulthood. This creates an unnatural attachment to his mother. Harold also does not develop a proper understanding of consequences, making him a very spoiled and clingy soul (think: Dandy from AHS: Freakshow, isolated and clinically insane, meets Twisty the Clown).

One fateful day, some of the carnival workers cruelly kidnap his mother. Harold panics, searching for her until he finds her lifeless bodyโ€”having accidentally suffocated in the bag they held her in. He goes into an unbridled rage, slaughtering the workers and others who laughed at him in the past. As a final note, he places the bodies on display for paying customers, prompting his seizure and execution. Harold embodies the Scorpio shadow traits of emotional immaturity, complacent stagnation (fixed sign energy), possessiveness (of his mother), and primal rage (Mars). One must know when to separate from emotional connections when they are hindering the soul's expansion.

sagittarius

"The Dire Mother"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Harold's mother, Margaret, is chosen to depict the shadow side of Sagittarius. Margaret was a little person who worked as a sideshow attraction for the carnival. She was sexually assaulted by the carnival's Tall Man and left to raise her child, Harold. She is a very active mother, but almost too active. She coddles her son, spoiling him in every way, while also neglecting to teach him to be independent.

I think of the Jupiterian energy of abundance, hyper-optimism, idealization, and overbearingness. It would appear she did not have a clear grip on reality. I also see a shadow trait of control. I think of Zeus, king of his pantheon. What kingdom would you have without subjects? She hindered his growth, intentionally or subconsciouslyโ€ฆ We may never know. But, she also chose a life on the road instead of settling down to build stability. A cost of seizing the day and living in the moment.

capricorn

"The Hammer"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Hands down, the most visually frightening spirit (in my opinion) is that of "The Hammer." It is also the saddest story (also, in my opinion), which isn't surprising, given that this is the shadow of Saturn-ruled Capricorn. George Markley is a melanated man living in the racist South of 1887's United States. (Slavery was out in 1865 on paper.) Already, the limitations of race and systemic delays give off Saturn vibes.

George is an exceptional blacksmith, making an honest living while supporting his wife and children. George's success angered the bigots in the town. A white man named Nathan accused George of theft, threatened him, and demanded that he leave town. George fought the accusations, maintaining his innocence. In return, Nathan gathered a gang of imbeciles, ambushed George's home, and hanged George's wife and children. GASP. This is an accurate reflection of the disgusting underbelly of American history & culture that prevails quietly todayโ€”horrifying and repulsive.

George flips out, hunts them down, and murders them with a sledgehammer. Equalizer style. In a haunting turn, the townspeople formed a mob, seized George, and brought him to his store. Tied to a tree, they pounded railroad spikes into his body with the sledgehammer, sliced off his hand, and replaced it with the literal hammer (thus the name). This dark archetype plays into the darkness of an underworld god like Osiris while also hinting at the "power-tripping" tendencies of Capricorn that led him to his demise.

aquarius

"The Jackal"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

As an Aquarius, this one is just like, WTF, lol. Enter Ryan Kuhn, born to a single mother and sex worker in 1887. No known father, no stability, and surrounded with sketchy characters. Exposure to this lifestyle definitely had an effect on Ryan's ability to fit into society later in life. He grew to be a TOTAL psychopath, attacking, sexually assaulting, and murdering unsuspecting women on the streets of London. Most often, he targeted sex workers like his mother figure. Jack the Ripper vibes. Ryan's animalistic nature scared him the most, and he committed himself to an institution for help.

Unfortunately, mental institutions often fall short of actually helping the human condition. What he needed was love, but he got machine. I think of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Isolation, heavy medications, and "cutting-edge" treatments only made things worse. Within the cruelty of the asylum, he lost every ounce of humanity and morphed into a literal monster. He soon became a high-risk inmate after attacking a nurse. He was placed in an ever-tightening straitjacket that contorted his limbs, and as punishment for biting, he was forced to wear a dehumanizing head cage.

In the end, the asylum caught fire, and Ryan was believed to have burned within it, forgotten in the bowels of the mental healthcare system. This is definitely a part of the Aquarian shadow: rebellion, extremes, and rejection of popular culture or society at large because one sees its faults. At what point does the rejection of humanity lead to its complete diminishment? Beware of cynicism. The god complex evident here teeters on the serial killer spectrum, whether you see it or not...

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

pisces

"The Juggernaut"

 The Sordid Tales Of The Dark Zodiac.

Speaking of serial killersโ€ฆ I save the most dangerous for last! The combination of the isolating primordial waters of Neptune and the ever-expanding nature of Jupiter clash to create a very dark archetype: The Lost One. The Addict. THE JUGGERNAUT. Dun Dun Dunnnnn! Abandoned by his mother and raised as a single child by his father, Horace "The Breaker" Mahoney never had much in his early years. He was teased for his abnormal facial features and lanky limbs, spending most of his time alone. His father gave him a job in his junkyard, chopping and crushing old cars, and that was all he knew. When his father passed, Horace was left with no one and went criminally insane. Standing 7 feet tall, Horace felt like an alien on Earth; he felt like he did not belong. Anger and rejection consumed him.

Horace fell into the habit of killing unsuspecting hitchhikers and stragglers. He would lure them in under the guise of a ride or kind gesture. He'd take them to his junkyard, tear them apart with his bare hands (like the car crusher), and feed the parts to his dogs. This method earned him the name "The Breaker" among law enforcement. His killing spree continued until he picked up an undercover police officer.

SWAT ambushed Horace's junkyard, and he was able to kill three officers before five were finally able to gun him down. He is probably the most violent and vengeful. The shadow traits of Pisces are evident in his addictions, delusions stemming from extended isolation, and feelings of helplessness or disconnection from humanity entirely.

Thank you for reading.

๐Ÿ‘ป I hope you guys enjoyed. One of my favorite campy horror films. Halloween is also my favorite time of year. ๐Ÿ‘ป The thirteenth ghost is a surprise. You must watch to find out.

My Lilith Masterlist

Please keep in mind that the content I post is based off my own studies at that point in time. What I post in 2022 may not be the same as what I post in 2023 or the years forward. Some information may be outdated/changed as I learn and research more.

Have a request for a specific Lilith post?

Last Updated: February 9, 2024.

Beginner Information

You can find my Lilith "Beginner's Notes" here.

โŽฏ Which Lilith do I study?

I study h13 Lilith. Also known as: "True" Lilith / Black Moon. This is the point in the moon's orbit that is farthest from the Earth. True Lilith is not a physical object, but rather a mathematical point that astrologers use in their calculations.

In my very early research into Lilith, this particular one came up time and again in charts of personal friends, relatives, actors, musciains, etc. as having it making aspects to their personal planets.

There are other Liliths in astrology, including 11811 asteroid Lilith. Sometimes in natal charts, all of the Liliths are in the same sign. In other charts, they are in different ones. I recommend everyone look into the other Liliths in astrology and in their own natal chart and take what resonates with them.

Please remember I am not a "professional" astrologer. This is just something I do for fun. Take everything you read here with a grain of salt.

โŽฏ Lilith in a man's chart vs woman's chart

Lilith in a man's chart is associated with his deepest fears and desires. This is because Lilith represents the suppressed and rebellious aspects of femininity, which the man may find both alluring and intimidating. It reflects a yearning for the untamed, independent, and mysterious qualities that Lilith embodies, yet at the same time, it can evoke fear or uncertainty due to societal norms and expectations.

Lilith in a woman's chart is seen as a more rebellious and assertive element. It symbolizes her refusal to conform to traditional gender roles and societal expectations. This rebellious nature in a woman's chart suggests a strong drive for independence, a rejection of limitations, and a desire to express her femininity on her own terms. Lilith in a woman's chart encourages her to embrace her wild, instinctual side and resist any attempts to restrain her authenticity.

COMMON 8TH HOUSE STRUGGLES

For anyone who got natal Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars in the 8th house.

COMMON 8TH HOUSE STRUGGLES

โ€ขDisliking that person that everyone else likes bc you see them for who they really are.

โ€ขFeeling like you have lived 10 different lives.

โ€ขPeople not recognizing you after not seeing you for a year because your appearance, demeanor, body language and even energy changes.

โ€ขHaving that specific year that you barely remember bc you dissasociated from reality.

โ€ขHaving songs you have to avoid because they were popular during one of your โ€ego deathโ€ periods.

โ€ขNot seeing the fun in certain activities because you overthink everything and dont see the fun in it because you are constantly aware of every second.

โ€ขPeople seeing you as more sexual than you actually are.

โ€ขPeople sharing disturbing stuff with you because you look like you can take anything.

โ€ขPeople trying to put you down bc they think you look down on them or bc your powerful aura make them feel uncomfortable.

โ€ขThinking to yourself โ€œomg I would die if that happened to meโ€ and then it happens to you because life is constantly testing you.

โ€ขPeople wanting beef w you bc of your bitchy stare but thats just the way you look.

โ€ขHaving that one person whos been obsessed with you for over 10 years.

โ€ขSeeing other people do stuff and its forgotten but when you do something nobody forgets it because everything you do is felt 100 times stronger because of how sensitive people are when it comes to you.

โ€ขPeople wondering why you disappeared from the party for an hour and now you have to explain you had to recharge after all that small talk.

โ€ขTrying to explain to people why you love going to the bathroom.

โ€ขThat one person everywhere you go who are convinced that you are evil for no reason.

โ€ขGoing through a โ€they will think im bad anyways so why not be bad?โ€ phase.

โ€ขPeople reminding you of something you did/said 2 years ago and you are shocked bc the latest version of you would never say/do something like that.

โ€ขGetting a weird feeling out of nowhere and later learning that something horrible happened that exact time.

โ€ขTrying to downplay your sex appeal for a job interview or a serious event but still having people get โ€œthatโ€ vibe from you.

โ€ขPeople oversharing with you because they can sense that you will understand.

โ€ขAdults hating on you when you were just a kid.

โ€ขFeeling like there is this wall between you and others because most people are not as deep as you.

โ€ขHaving the weirdest things happen to you but you cant tell anyone because they will think you are lying.

โ€ขPeople coming forward telling you they had a crush on you 10 years ago but were afraid to approach you(especially with venus 8th house)

โ€ขPeople who dont even like you want to be close to you because of your addictive energy

โ€ขConstantly having someone standing in a corner 10 meters away staring at you everywhere you go.

โ€ขBeing accused of stuff you didnโ€™t do bc of your dark energy and people projecting onto you.

โ€ขPeople coming into your life when they are going through something and later leaving you when they donโ€™t need you anymore.

โ€ขPeople thinking you are weird for enjoying rainy days and dark nights instead of sunny days.

HOW PLANETS AFFECT THE APPEARANCEโœจ

so we all know that our ascendant has to do with our appearance. But having planets aspecting the ascendant also does a lot, so lets have a look how each planet affects us physically!

Each house represents a certain body part, so having a planet in a house affects specifically that one thing, but I will get into that in another post. Now we are looking at overall appearance bcs of the aspects.

(look at all aspects to the asc)

โญ๏ธSun: Makes things radiant, noticable and more masculine. Usually tall, athletic people with bright eyes and smiles. Beautiful thick hair. Gives off very bright and positive energy and people often gravitate towards them.

โญ๏ธMoon: Makes things softer, rounder and cute. These people can have full cheeks, big dreamy eyes and youthful expressions. Also makes the body curvier and rounder. They are usually the mom friend.

โญ๏ธMercury: Makes things longer and leaner. Fox-like face. A person with these aspects might have a longer face, nose and overall be tall and skinny with long limbs. They appear smart but also mischevious.

โญ๏ธVenus: Makes things more feminine, soft and โ€˜beautifulโ€™. Gives a symmetrical face with bright eyes. This people appear very sensual and have beautiful feminine features (doesnt matter if a man or woman). People see them as traditionaly beautiful.

โญ๏ธMars: Makes things more masculine and rough. These people have this fire in their eyes that you cant really describe. Gives a strong jaw, nose and eyebrows. They have masculine features (again doesnt matter if its a man or a woman). Also makes someone very athletic.

โญ๏ธJupiter: Makes things bigger. These people might have bigger facial features (forehead, eyes, lips..) and they usually look much younger than they are. Comes off as friendly and approachable.

โญ๏ธSaturn: Makes things smaller. Can make someone appear older than they are. Usually smaller eyes, lips etc. Gives also some โ€˜bonyโ€™ body parts.These people come off as serious and mature.

โญ๏ธUranus: Makes things unique. Unusual features, this can manifest in any way. Usually bigger forheads, may have some unique freckles or marks.

โญ๏ธNeptune: Makes things dreamy and fluid. There is always something unique about their appearance. Big dreamy eyes and full lips. Soft skin. They are probably daydreaming 24/7, so they look distracted a lot.

โญ๏ธPluto: Makes things darker, sexy and โ€˜intenseโ€™. Darker eyes, skinny noses and darker hair. People with these aspects come off as intimidating and kinda unapproachable but also super alluring. Very intense gaze. Resting bitch face.

The Moon Can Tell About Our Mothers But, Also How They Felt Before Giving Birth To Us/when Pregnant And

the moon can tell about our mothers but, also how they felt before giving birth to us/when pregnant and how they felt during the birthing process

ARIES MOON โ™ˆ๏ธŽ

most likely worried about the pain of birth or the pain was actually really bad for her during birth. it could also just mean it was a quicker birth than average

TAURUS MOON โ™‰๏ธŽ

a slow birth process typically. this usually indicates it wasnโ€™t a bad birth though and everything went smoothly but it could also mean you were a bit stubborn coming out and your movements made it difficult for your mother

GEMINI MOON โ™Š๏ธŽ

your mother probably wanted to be best friends with you and feared not having that bond. the birth may have been anxiety filling for your mom (more than normal)

CANCER MOON โ™‹๏ธŽ

this can indicate your mom had lots of mood swings during her pregnancy. she may have been super emotional during the birth/after

LEO MOON โ™Œ๏ธŽ

this can indicate your mother being very excited to have you because of her love for children

VIRGO MOON โ™๏ธŽ

the pregnancy might have been planned. the birthing process may have made your mom very anxious in some way (maybe from an issue with the nurse or something)

LIBRA MOON โ™Ž๏ธŽ

your mom wanted to give you all the love that she may not have gotten as a child and the birth may have been a more peaceful birth than normal or it may have had a lot of ups and downs

SCORPIO MOON โ™๏ธŽ

your mother may have feared how much transformation having you would bring to her life. it can also indicate she got angry easily while pregnant

SAGITTARIUS MOON โ™๏ธŽ

your mother may have had a lot more hospital visits than normal thinking you would come out over and over. the birth process may have required a lot more effort than usual

CAPRICORN MOON โ™‘๏ธŽ

your mother may have given birth later than she was supposed to. she may have feared the whole process in general. the father may have not been present either

AQUARIUS MOON โ™’๏ธŽ

the birth may have been at an unexpected time earlier than the due date. your mother may have feared you having something wrong with you like a birth deformity for example

PISCES MOON โ™“๏ธŽ

during the birth your mother most likely was out of it due to meds (maybe more than usual) but this can indicate she dreamed of having children since she was a child

BONUS โ˜†

having your moon in the 8th house could indicate coming from a c-section since the 8th house represents surgery

(check your sidereal moon as well if the tropical moon isnโ€™t right bc for me it was more accurate)

good things to pay attention to more often

the color of trees

clouds and how they look different throughout the day

the different colors the mornings can have. sometimes itโ€™s an orange hue and sometimes pink and sometimes itโ€™s too misty to tell

pretty color schemes in random places (the trees and your neighbors wooden patio and the color of their car)

the states of the vehicles passing you by, dents and scratches and the different trinkets suspended from their rearview mirrors

the sound of silence

the shadows the lights cast in your home, like how sunset looks different than sunrise, and the shadows the sun casts look different than those of your lamps and candles

pretty details in buildings and houses like certain types of windows or doorknobs or archways

the movement of things in the wind. flags, leaves, flowers, peopleโ€™s hair and coats

what matters most about your interests is that they make you happy. whether other people find them productive is irrelevant. you donโ€™t have to produce anything. you are not a machine. your interests arenโ€™t for others. your interests are for you. do what makes you happy.

somewhere in the world

a mother is singing her baby a lullaby for the first time, a shelter cat is going home with an excited family, a kid is starting the first pages of what will be their favorite book series, a couple in a long engagement is finally having their wedding, a gardener is stepping outside to see their produce flourishing and almost ready to be picked, a father is becoming a grandfather eager to hold his new little love, a teenager is putting the keys into their first car, someone is moving on from a break up and walking past a place they used to go with their ex without feeling an ache, a patient is taking their first steps forward after a long surgery, a child is getting all giddy with anticipation for their birthday party

because life all around us is beautiful even though there is chaos and sorrow that can often overshadow it.

Okay something that bothers me is the fact physics is seen as the more prestigious of the three main sciences, with biology at the bottom and chemistry in the middle. Like. I doubt most people could name a famous biologist, but they could name 5 famous physicists. Why are Albert Einstein and Stephen hawking household names but Norman Borlaug and Jonas Salk aren't?

Not to dismiss the accomplishments of Einstein or Hawking, or their genius, but their actual tangible contributions to society have been miniscule compared to that of Borlaug or Salk who have each saved LITERALLY hundreds of millions, if not billions, of lives each. Half the food on your plate was probably grown thanks to Borlaug and Salk is the reason half your siblings didn't die of polio as a kid.

Sure Einsteins theory of relatively is important for modern satellite communications but really though how can it compare?

This is coming from someone who studied physics. I love physics, and years ago when i was at uni I looked down at biology and so did everyone else studying physics. And I know others did too. Retroactively of course I know this was so very wrong.

If society as a whole started treating biology with more respect then maybe more students would go into that field. If we had rockstars of medicine and agricultural science that were household names rather than just physicists? think of how many more lives could be saved, how many more lives could be improved.

I'm not saying physics isn't important, and more scientists of any kind is always good, but proportionally I think societies priorities are a little skewd.

โšœ๏ธ๐ŸŒทFinding lost things with astrology help๐ŸŒทโšœ๏ธ

Did you know that astrology can help to find lost things? If your ring, keys, or even phone are missing, you better keep reading because I will tell you how to find them๐Ÿค

The moment when you realize that you have lost something is the most important because the question is โ€œbornโ€. Check your time and place when you acknowledge that you lost something. Then go to Astro.com or your other preferred website, and create a new chart with the information about your lost item.

When the chart is created, you can now start the investigation haha.

1. You need to find a planet that represents your lost item.

Sun - gold items, things in yellow, orange color. Something that belongs to the father or husband. Batteries. Sunglasses.

Moon - silver items. Something that belongs to the wife or mother. Feminine products. Food, cooking utensils (except sharp things).

Mercury - documents, paper, journals, pens/pencils, notes, books, letters, homework, library card. Things that are related to education/studies. Bicycle, car. Keys.

Venus - cosmetics, jewelry, clothes (except shoes and belts). Money. Fluffy and soft things. Sweets.

Mars - sharp items (knife, scissors, knitting needles, etc). Things in red color. Warming and metal items. Sport inventory. Things related to the military.

Jupiter - big items. Something very expensive and valuable. Items in purple color. Encyclopedia, thick books. Notes from lectures. Souveniers, things that have been brought from a foreign land. Glasses/lenses.

Saturn - solid, heavy, or cold items. Things in black color. Leather items. Something old. Shoes, belts. Measuring devices, crystals. Watch.

Uranus - Technology, phone, camera, chargers. Parachute. High/long items. Things related to science, electricity.

Neptune - music, photography, headphones. Liquids (perfumes, alcohol, chemicals). Medicine. Harmful substances like cigarettes and drugs.

Pluto (used rarely) - very specific things, video-making technology.

If you have no idea which planet can represent your lost item, use 2nd house. It's universal because it rules over our belongings.

Now that you know which planet represents your item, check the house placement.

If you are sure that the item is lost in your house then use this interpretation:

1st house -> near the entrance door, in outwear pockets, corridor.

2nd house -> near personal belongings (ex. Jewelry box, etc.), kitchen.

3rd house -> on the table, in drawers, near documents. In a place where the most communication happens.

4th house -> on the floor, in the basement, under the bed or carpet, in the dining room, in parents/grandparents room.

5th house -> childrenโ€™s room, living room, entertainment area, near childrenโ€™s toys.

6th house -> working area, utility room.

7th house -> bedroom, near partners belongings.

8th house -> in a trash can, in a dirty place, in sewerage.

9th house -> studying area, on a bookshelf, balcony, terrace, next to souvenirs.

10th house -> in a high place, attic, on closet.

11th house -> guests room, next to the window, on the windowsill.

12th house -> in a dark place, behind something, furthest room, bathroom, pool.

If you are sure that the lost item isn't at your house, then use this interpretation:

1st house -> somewhere near your home, near the entrance door.

2nd house -> place where was the payment made, atm.

3rd house -> car, in public transport, kindergarten, street, at your neighbor or siblings' place.

4th house -> in your parents/grandparents' place, your other property.

5th house -> in the entertainment place, restaurant, nightclub, at the exhibition.

6th house -> in the workplace, hospital, salon.

7th house -> the item is with another person. Possibly stolen.

8th house -> garbage that isn't in your house, in the cemetery, in the toilets, in the forest/woods.

9th house -> in an educational institution, in another country, airport, airplane, hotel.

10th house -> at the workplace with authorities/bosses, in state authority.

11th house -> in a friend's house, in a place where collective events occur.

12th house (saddest placement lol) -> the item is hopelessly lost, fallen into the crowd of people, and probably will not be found.

Stelliums with the itemโ€™s rulership planet are important!! It tells what else is next to the lost thing.

If the rulership planet is next to:

Sun - item is covered, hard to see. Hidden.

Moon - next to the item is something โ€œaliveโ€, a petโ€™s sleeping spot, flowers/plants, toddlers playing area.

Mercury - next to the item is something related to communication, letters, documents, papers, small electric devices.

Venus - next to the item is something beautiful, clothes, jewelry, painting. Next to something fluffy and soft.

something the ddlg community seems to fail to acknowledge is that sexual arousal and orgasms are powerful conditioning tools. if you and your daddy sexualize childlike behavior, childrenโ€™s innocence and helplessness, childlike speech/baby talk, childrenโ€™s objects and toys, childrenโ€™s clothing, etc etc these things will become sexual to you, anyone whoโ€™s taken the most basic psychology course can tell you this. your brains will literally begin to associate them on their own with sexual arousal and your โ€œdaddyโ€™sโ€ brain and dick will respond accordingly. he might absolutely get turned on seeing a child behaving and dressing and talking the very same way his โ€œlittleโ€ does simply because heโ€™s used to all of these things being involved when he gets off.

he might not have started out as a pedophile and the two of you may be โ€œconsenting adultsโ€, but use your critical thinking for a moment and realize that normalizing this pedophilic dynamic will make you both desensitized to it. the same way continuous exposure to violent porn creates a link between violence and sexual arousal for those consuming it, being turned on and getting orgasms while roleplaying pedophilia will cause a link to form between sexual arousal and childlike. your kink harms children, bye

Anti Porn Masterpost (feel free to reblog and add)

HEAVY TRIGGER WARNING: mentions of rape, violence, abuse, sadism, masochism, torture and more. Reader discretion is advised.

Porn Culture and The Industry

There are over 68 million daily searches for pornography in the United States. Thats 25% of all daily searches (IFR, 2006).

The sex industry is largest and most profitable industry in the world. โ€œIt includes street prostitution, brothels, โ€˜massage parlorsโ€™, strip clubs, human trafficking for sexual purposes, phone sex, child and adult pornography, mail order brides and sex tourism โ€“ just to mention a few of the most common examples.โ€ (Andersson et al, 2013)

Pornhub receives over 1.68 million visits per hour. (Pornhub, 2013)

Globally, teen is the most searched term. A Google Trends analysis indicates that searches for โ€œTeen Pornโ€ have more than tripled between 2005-2013, and teen porn was the fastest-growing genre over this period. Total searches for teen-related porn reached an estimated 500,000 daily in March 2013, far larger than other genres, representing approximately one-third of total daily searches for pornographic web sites. (Dines, 2013)

Internet porn in the UK receives more traffic than social networks, shopping, news and media, email, finance, gaming and travel. (Arthur, 2013)

Several recent studies have found that teenagers around the world report using porn to gain information about real life sex (Lauzus et al, 2007) (Wade et al, 2005) (Flood, 2009) ( Giordano & Ross, 2012)

Across the board it has been found women watch less porn than men.

17% of women admit to struggling with pornography addiction (Internet Filter Review, 2006)

Condoms are only utilized in 10.9% of top rated scenes (Bridges and Wosnitzer, 2007)

Every 39 minutes a new porn film is created in the United States.

20% of American men admit they access pornography at work.

13% of women admit to accessing pornography at work (Internet Filter Review, 2006)

70% of all Internet porn traffic occurs during workdays (9am โ€“ 5pm) (Sex Tracker, 2012)

The porn industry makes more money than Hollywood. (US Statistics)

The porn industry makes more money than The National Football League, The National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball combined and more than NBC, CBS, and ABC combined. (IFR, 2006).

The porn industry has larger revenues than the top technology companies (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple and Netflix) combined (IFR, 2006).

13,000 adult videos are produced annually, amassing over $13 billion dollars in profit. By comparison, Hollywood released 507 movies and made only 8.8 billion (Bridges and Wosnitzer, 2007).

Free websites comprise between 70-80% of the adult material online, typically used as โ€œbaitโ€ for pay websites, guiding viewers to premium pay services.

90% of free porn websites and nearly 100% of pay porn websites buy their material rather than create it themselves.

Porn, Youth and Child Abuse

Children as young as 11 years old are regularly accessing hardcore gonzo pornography (IFR, 2006). Following first exposure, the largest consumer group of internet pornography is boys between the ages of 12-17.Approximately 20% of all internet pornography is child sexual abuse. (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2013).

A recent study found that seven out of ten youth have been unwillingly exposed to pornography in the United States (Carroll et al, 2008).

The fastest growing demand in commercial websites for child abuse is for images depicting the worst type of abuse, including penetrative sexual activity involving children and adults and sadism or penetration by an animal (Internet Watch Foundation. Annual Report, 2008).

In a study of arrested child pornography possessors, 40 percent had both sexually victimized children and were in possession of child pornography.

Child pornography has become a $3 billion annual industry (Top Ten Reviews, 2005).

69% of all victims in child abuse images are between the ages of 0 and 10 years old. (IWF, 2008)

A New Zealand Internal Affairs study suggests that there is an association between viewing child pornography and committing child sexual abuse (New Zealandโ€™s Department of Internal Affairs. Internet Traders of Child Pornography: Profiling Research. By Caroline Sullivan. October 2005. January 10, 2006).

Approximately 55% of street girls engage in formal prostitution (Department of Justice, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. Accessed October 31, 2007).

Child prostitutes serve between two and thirty clients per week, leading to a shocking estimated base of anywhere between 100 to 1500 clients per year, per child. Younger children, many below the age of 10, have been increasingly drawn into serving tourists (Department of Justice, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. Accessed October 31, 2007).

Youth who look at violent x-rated material are six times more likely to report forcing someone to do something sexual online or in-person versus youth not exposed to x-rated material.

Internet pornography was blamed for a 20 percent increase in sexual attacks by children over three years.

Nearly 80 percent of unwanted exposure to pornography is taking place in the home (79 percent occurs in the home; 9 percent occurs at school; 7 percent other/unknown; 5 percent at a friendโ€™s home).

Kids experience unwanted exposure to sexual material via: - A link came up as a result of an innocent word search (40 %) - Clicking on a link in another site (17 %) - A pop-up (14 %) - Other (13 %) - Misspelled web address (12 %) - Donโ€™t know (4 %) - Pictures involving animals or other strange things (10 %)

American children begin consuming hardcore pronography at an average age of 11

Four out of five 16 year-olds regularly access pornography online

In 2008, more than 560 college student responded to an online survey: - 93% of boys and 62% of girls were exposed to pornography before 18 - 14% of boys and 9% of girls were exposed to pornography before 13 - 69% of boys and 23% of girls have spent at least 30 consecutive minutes viewing Internet pornography on at least one occasion - 63% of boys have done so more than once, and 35% of boys have done so on more than 10 occasions. - 83% of boys and 57% of girls have seen group sex online - 69% of boys and 55% of girls have seen same-sex intercourse online - 39% of boys and 23% of girls have seen sexual bondage online - 32% of boys and 18% of girls have seen bestiality online - 18% of boys and 10% of girls have seen rape or sexual violence online - 15% of boys and 9% of girls have seen child pornography

When a child or adolescent is directly exposed to pornography the following effects have been documented: - Lasting negative or traumatic emotional responses. - The belief that superior sexual satisfaction is attainable without having affection for oneโ€™s partner, thereby reinforcing the commoditization of sex and the objectification of humans. - The belief that being married or having a family are unattractive prospects. - Increased risk for developing sexual compulsions and addictive behavior. - Increased risk of exposure to incorrect information about human sexuality long before a minor is able to contextualize this information in ways an adult brain could. - Overestimating the prevalence of less common practices (e.g., group sex, bestiality, or sadomasochistic activity)

Porn and its Psychological Effects

In 1982 and 1984, Dr. Dolf Zillmann and Dr. Jennings Bryant conducted an experiment with 80 male and 80 female college-age participants.101 These were divided into three subgroups, and each group was shown 4 hours and 48 minutes of media over a six-week period: (1) the โ€œMassive Exposure Groupโ€ was shown 36 non-violent pornographic film clips; (2) the โ€œIntermediate Exposure Groupโ€ was exposed to 18 pornographic film clips and 18 regular films; and (3) the โ€œNo Exposureโ€ control group was shown 36 non-pornographic film clips. - A direct correlation was noticed between the amount of pornography one viewed and oneโ€™s overall sexual satisfaction. Participants from the Massive Exposure Group reported less satisfaction with their intimate partner, such as their partnerโ€™s physical appearance, affection, and sexual performance. Researchers concluded, โ€œconsumers eventually compare appearance and performance of pornographic models with that of their intimate partners, and this comparison rarely favors their intimate partners.โ€ - Those exposed to more pornography attached more value to casual sex (i.e. sex without emotional involvement). - When asked if minors should be protecting from seeing pornography, 84% of the No Exposure Group, 54% of the Intermediate Exposure Group, and 37% of the Massive Exposure Group said yes. - Porn seemed to condition participants to trivialize rape. Participants were asked to read about a legal case where a man raped a female hitchhiker and then recommend a length for the rapistโ€™s prison sentence. Males in the No Exposure Group said 94 months; the Massive Exposure Group said 50 months (nearly half that of the No Exposure Group). - Participants were asked to rate their overall support for womenโ€™s rights. Both men and women who were in the Massive Exposure Group showed significant drops in support compared to the No Exposure Group. There was 71% male support in the No Exposure Group compared to 25% in the Massive Exposure Group and 82% female support in the No Exposure Group compared to 52% in the Massive Exposure Group. - When asked how common or popular certain sexual activities were in the general population โ€” activities like anal sex, group sex, sadomasochism, and bestiality โ€” the percentages given by the Massive Exposure Group were two to three times higher than the No Exposure Group. - The Massive Exposure Group was far more likely to believe women fit the stereotype of the women they see in pornographic films โ€” that is, โ€œsocially non-discriminating, as hysterically euphoric in response to just about any sexual or pseudosexual stimulation,and as eager to accommodate seemingly any and every sexual request.โ€ - Additionally, two weeks after they stopped seeing videos, all participants were given an assortment of pornographic and non-pornographic films to watch in private. Those who were exposed to more pornography were significantly more likely to want to watch hardcore porn.

In a 2002 study, 71 male undergraduate students were divided into 3 groups. Each group watched 10-11-minute video segments: a sexually-explicit and degrading film, a sexually-explicit educational film, and a non-sexual film. Later the men were placed side-by-side with a woman in a seemingly unrelated social experiment. - Viewers of the sexually-explicit film displayed more dominance and anxiety, ignored contributions of their partner more often, touched their partner for longer periods of time, and averted their partnerโ€™s gaze more compared to viewers of the non-sexual film. - Viewers of the sexually-explicit and degrading film spent longer periods of time averting their partnerโ€™s touch and gazing at their partnerโ€™s face, interrupted their partner more, advanced to touch their partner more, and made more sexual references compared to viewers of the sexually-explicit film.

In 2005, a study of youth between the ages of 10 and 17 concluded that there is a significant relationship between frequent porn use and feelings of loneliness and major depression.

Gary R. Brooks, Ph.D., describes what he observes as a โ€œpervasive disorderโ€ linked to the consumption of soft- core pornography like Playboy. He mentions five main symptoms of this: Voyeurism: An obsession with looking at women rather than interacting with them. This can apply to far more than pornography, including any consumption of the โ€œsexuality-on-tapโ€ culture in which we live; media glorifies and objectifies womenโ€™s bodies, thus promoting unreal images of women, feeding male obsession with visual stimulation and trivializing other mature features of a healthy sexual relationship. Objectification: An attitude in which women are objects rated by size, shape and harmony of body parts. Sexual fantasy leads to emotional unavailability and dissatisfaction. Validation: The need to validate masculinity through beautiful women. Women who meet centerfold standards only retain their power as long as they maintain โ€œperfectโ€ bodies and the lure of unavailability; it is very common for a manโ€™s fantasy sexual encounter to include a feeling of manly validation; it is also common for men to feel invalidated by their wives if they have trained their minds and bodies to respond only to the fantasy advances of their dream girl. Trophyism: The idea that beautiful women are collectibles who show the world who a man is. Pornography reinforces the womenโ€™s-bodies-as-trophies mentality. Fear of True Intimacy: Inability to relate to women in an honest and intimate way despite deep loneliness. Pornography exalts a manโ€™s sexual needs over his need for sensuality and intimacy; some men develop a preoccupation with sexuality, which powerfully handicaps their capacity for emotionally intimate relationships.

โ€œProlonged exposure to pornography, it must be remembered, results in both a loss of respect for female sexual autonomy and the disinhibition of men in the expression of aggression against women.โ€ - Dr. James B. Weaver.

Porn and Addiction

10% of adults admit to having an addiction to online pornography (IFR, 2006).

In a survey of 63 wives of self-identified sex addicts: - 70% met most criteria for a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. - 75% discovered evidence of compulsive or addictive sexual behaviors themselves (as opposed to a planned disclosure on the part of a husband). - 71% demonstrated a severe level of functional impairment in major areas of their lives. - Length of marriage at disclosure and number of prior traumatic event exposures were the best predictors increased trauma symptoms.

โ€œ[M]odern science allows us to understand that the underlying nature of an addiction to pornography is chemically nearly identical to a heroin addiction.โ€ - Dr. Jeffrey Satinovet

โ€œPornography triggers a myriad of endogenous, internal, natural drugs that mimic the โ€˜highโ€™ from a street drug. Addiction to pornography is addiction to what I dub erototoxinsโ€”mind altering drugs produced by the viewerโ€™s own brain.โ€ - Dr. Judith Reisman

Porn, Violence and Rape

88.2% of top rated porn scenes contain aggressive acts principally spanking, gagging, and slapping, while 48.7% of scenes contained verbal aggression, primarily name-calling. - In 70% of occurrences, a man is perpetrator of the aggression; 94% of the time the act is directed towards a woman. - Only 9.9% of the top selling scenes analyzed contained behaviors such as kissing, laughing, caressing, or verbal compliments. - Open-hand slapping occurs in 41.1% of scenes. - Sex depicted in porn movies generally focuses on menโ€™s sexual pleasure and orgasm, rather than equally that of womenโ€™s (Bridges and Wosnitzer, 2007)

Porn scenes have sexist and racist themes through out. Websites often contain menus where users can select genres of womenโ€™s ethnicities, body types, and ages. There are also choices such as โ€œamateur,โ€ โ€œinterracialโ€, and the ever popular โ€œteenโ€ category. Men and women who are anything other than white are represented in stereotypical and demeaning ways.

Studies show that after viewing pornography men are more likely to: - report decreased empathy for rape victims - have increasingly aggressive behavioral tendencies - report believing that a woman who dresses provocatively deserves to be raped - report anger at women who flirt but then refuse to have sex - report decreased sexual interest in their girlfriends or wives - report increased interest in coercing partners into unwanted sex acts (Bridges, 2006) (Yang, Gahyun, 2012).

In a meta-analysis of 46 studies published from 1962 to 1995, comprising a total sample of 12,323 people, researchers concluded pornographic material puts one at increased risk of: - developing sexually deviant tendencies (31% increase in risk) - committing sexual offenses (22% increase in risk) - accepting rape myths (31% increase in risk)

Among perpetrators of sex crimes, adolescent exposure to pornography is a significant predictor of elevated violence and victim humiliation.

In a study of 30 college fraternity members on a small liberal arts campus, the displayed images of women (in posters, screensavers, calendars, pin-ups, and advertisements) were analyzed for their frequency and degrading nature. There was a significant association between the average degradation ratings of the images and the studentโ€™s rape-supportive attitude scale (RSA)

In a study of 187 female university students, researchers concluded early exposure to pornography was related to subsequent โ€œrape fantasiesโ€ and attitudes supportive of sexual violence against women. Researchers believe pornography consumed at a young age contributes to women being socialized to accept sexual aggression as a sexual/romantic event.

In 2004 data was collected from interviews with 271 women participating in a battered womenโ€™s program. Pornography use by their partner significantly increased the odds of women being sexually abused by their abusers. When their abuser used both alcohol and pornography, the odds of sexual abuse increase by a factor of 3.2.

Arrested prostitution clients are twice as likely to report having watched pornographic movies over the past year than a national sample.

Japanese males were divided into three groups and each exposed to different types of home video pornography: a positive rape film (where the female expressed pleasure), a negative rape film (where the female expressed pain), or a consenting sex film. Those who viewed the positive rape film were significantly more likely to state that women could enjoy rape and higher percentages of rape cases are invented by victims.

In a study of 804 Italian adolescents, ages 14 to 19 years old, viewing pornography was correlated to both active and passive sexual violence and unwanted sex.

โ€œWomen are represented as passive and as slavishly dependent upon men. The role of female characters is limited to the provision of sexual services to men. To the extent that womenโ€™s sexual pleasure is represented at all, it is subordinated to that of men and is never an end in itself as is the sexual pleasure of men. What pleases women is the use of their bodies to satisfy male desires. While the sexual objectification of women is common to all pornography, women are the recipients of even worse treatment in violent pornography, in which women characters are killed, tortured, gang-raped, mutilated, bound, and otherwise abused, as a means of providing sexual stimulation or pleasure to the male characters.โ€ - Helen Longino

Research indicates that 25% to 30% of male college students in the United States and Canada admit that there is some likelihood they would rape a woman if they could get away with it. (Briere and Malamuth, 1983)

In a study of high school males, 50% of those interviewed believed it acceptable โ€œfor a guy to hold a girl down and force her to have sexual intercourse in instances such as when โ€˜she gets him sexually excitedโ€™ or โ€˜she says sheโ€™s going to have sex with him and then changes her mindโ€™โ€ (Goodchilds and Zellman, 1984)

โ€œI went to a porno bookstore, put a quarter in a slot, and saw this porn movie. It was just a guy coming up from behind a girl and attacking her and raping her. Thatโ€™s when I started having rape fantasies. When I saw that movie, it was like somebody lit a fuse from my childhood on upโ€ฆ I just went for it, went out and raped.โ€ Rapist interviewed by Beneke, 1982

The following statements were made by women testifying at the Hearings on Pornography in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1993 (Russell, 1993a). - Ms. M testified that, โ€œI agree to act out in private a lot of the scenarios that my husband read to me. These depicted bondage and different sexual acts that I found humiliating to doโ€ฆHe read the pornography like a textbook, like a journal. When he finally convinced me to be bound, he read in the magazine how to tie the knots and bind me in a way that I couldnโ€™t escape. Most of the scenes where I had to dress up or go through different fantasies were the exact same scenes that he has read in the magazines.โ€ - Ms. O described a case in which a man โ€˜brought pornographic magazines, books, and paraphernalia into the bedroom with him and told her that if she did not perform the sexual acts in the โ€œdirtyโ€ books and magazines, he would beat her and kill herโ€™ - Ms. S testified about the experience of a group of women prostitutes who, she said, โ€˜were forced constantly to enact specific scenes that men had witnessed in pornographyโ€ฆThese menโ€ฆ would set up scenarios, usually with more than one woman, to copy scenes that they had seen portrayed in magazines and books. [For example, Ms. S quoted a woman in her group as saying:] โ€œHe held up a porn magazine with a picture of a beaten woman and said, โ€˜I want you to look like that. I want you to hurt.โ€™ He then began beating me. When I did not cry fast enough, he lit a cigarette and held it right above my breast for a long time before he burned me.โ€ - Ms. S. also described what three men did to a nude woman prostitute whom they had tied up while she was seated on a chair: โ€œThey burned her with cigarettes and attached nipple clips to her breasts. They had many S and M magazines with them and showed her many pictures of women appearing to consent, enjoy, and encourage this abuse. She was held for twelve hours while she was continuously raped and beaten.โ€ - Another example cited by Ms. S: โ€œThey (several Johns) forced the women to act simultaneously with the movie. In the movie at this point, a group of men were urinating on a naked woman. All the men in the room were able to perform this task, so they all started urinating on the woman who was now naked.โ€

Non-violent heterosexual porn often becomes โ€˜too boringโ€™ and leads (commonly) men to seek out more โ€˜interestingโ€™ and โ€˜excitingโ€™ types of pornography: often including abuse and rape. (Zillman and Bryant) (Briere and Malamuth)

Porn and Relationships

[At] a gathering of the nationโ€™s divorce lawyers, attendees revealed that 58% of their divorces were a result of a spouse looking at excessive amounts of pornography online.

According to the Journal of Adolescent Health, prolonged exposure to pornography leads to: - An exaggerated perception of sexual activity in society - Diminished trust between intimate couples - The abandonment of the hope of sexual monogamy - Belief that promiscuity is the natural state - Belief that abstinence and sexual inactivity are unhealthy - Cynicism about love or the need for affection between sexual partners - Belief that marriage is sexually confining - Lack of attraction to family and child-raising

According to sociologist Jill Manning, the research indicates pornography consumption is associated with the following six trends, among others: 1. Increased marital distress, and risk of separation and divorce 2. Decreased marital intimacy and sexual satisfaction 3. Infidelity 4. Increased appetite for more graphic types of pornography and sexual activity associated with abusive, illegal or unsafe practices 5. Devaluation of monogamy, marriage and child rearing 6. An increasing number of people struggling with compulsive and addictive sexual behavior

In a survey of women (and some men) who experienced serious adverse consequences from their partnerโ€™s cybersex involvement: - In 68% of the couples, one or both lost interest in relational sex: 52% of showed a decreased interest, as did 34% of partners. - Partners commonly reported feeling hurt, betrayed, rejected, abandoned, lonely, isolated, humiliated, jealous, and angry. - Partners often compared themselves unfavorably to online images. - Partners overwhelmingly felt that cyber affairs were as emotionally painful as offline affairs.

Porn and Sexual Dysfunction

โ€œI have also seen in my clinical experience that pornography damages the sexual performance of the viewers. Pornography viewers tend to have problems with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Having spent so much time in unnatural sexual experiences with paper, celluloid and cyberspace, they seem to find it difficult to have sex with a real human being. Pornography is raising their expectation and demand for types and amounts of sexual experiences; at the same time it is reducing their ability to experience sex.โ€ โ€“ Dr. MaryAnne Layden

Porn and Sex Trafficking / Sexual Slavery

There are [an estimated] 12.3 million people in forced labor, bonded labor, forced child labor, and sexual servitude at any given time; other estimates range from 4 million to 27 million (Trafficking in Persons Report. Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, 2006).

Each year sexual traffickers lure, coerce, trick, drug, kidnap, and sell millions of vulnerable women and children into the multi-billion dollar sex trade. In their daily lives victims of sexual trafficking endure unspeakable acts of physical brutality, violence and degradation including rape by so-called customers and pimps; undergo forced abortions; acquire drug and alcohol dependencies; live in fear of their lives and in fear for the lives of their family and friends; suffer acute psychological reactions as a result of their extreme physical and emotional trauma; and contract sexually transmitted diseases which all too often bring life-long illness or hasten death. If they survive, the physical, psychological and spiritual impacts of these experiences on victims are devastating and enduring (Initiative Against Sexual Trafficking, Accessed October 31, 2007).

UNICEF reports that across the world, there are over one million children entering the sex trade every year and that approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood through sexual exploitation over the past 30 years (Commercial sexual exploitation position statement. UNICEF UK. 2004, January 28)

From fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2005, the Civil Rights Division and United States Attorneyโ€™s Offices filed 91 trafficking cases, a 405% increase over the number of trafficking cases filed from fiscal years 1996 through 2000. (U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division. 2006, February).

$19 Billion generated annually on the street from human trafficking (Christine Dolan, The Global Coalition to End Human Trafficking NOW).

Porn, Prostitution and Health Risks

Foremost among the health risks of prostitution is premature deathโ€ฆ by far the most common causes of death were homicide, suicide, drug and alcohol related problems, HIV infection and accidents - in that order. (Canadian Medical Association Journal. 2004, July 24).

The Average Life Expectancy of a Porn Star is 36.2 years

Chlamydia and Gonorrhea among performers is 10x greater than that of LA County 20-24 year olds.

66% - 99% porn stars have Herpes, a non-curable diseases

Porn performers experience higher rates of infection (20%) than general public (2.4%)

Only 17% of performers use condoms in heterosexual adult films.

In 2004, only two of 200 adult film companies required the use of condoms.

Porn Performers and Abuse

โ€œ[Porn actresses] have high rates of substance abuse, typically alcohol and cocaineโ€ฆ [many] have to be drunk, high or dissociated in order to go to work.โ€ โ€“ Dr. MaryAnne Layden

โ€œ [Porn actresses] have high rates ofโ€ฆ depression and borderline personality disorder.โ€ โ€“ Dr. MaryAnne Layden

โ€œThe drugs we binged on were Ecstasy, Cocaine, Marijuana, Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and alcohol.โ€ - Porn actress Erin Moore

โ€œGuys are punching you in the face. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. Itโ€™s never ending. Youโ€™re viewed as an object โ€” not as a human with a spirit. People do drugs because they canโ€™t deal with the way theyโ€™re being treated.โ€ย  - Tanya Burleson, formerly known as Jersey Jaxin,

โ€œ( In pornography) our bodies are being stripped, exposed, and contorted for the purpose of ridicule to bolster that โ€œmasculine esteemโ€ which gets its kick and sense of power from viewing females as anonymous, panting playthings, adult toys, dehumanized objects to be used, abused, broken and discarded.โ€ย  - Susan Brownmiller, 1975

โ€œIn one case, a man who said he had participated in over a hundred pornographic movies testified at the Commission hearings in Los Angeles as follows: โ€œI, myself, have been on a couple of sets where the young ladies have been forced to do even anal sex scenes with a guy which [sic] is rather large and I have seen them crying in painโ€ (Diana Russel, โ€˜Pornography as a Cause of Rapeโ€™)

โ€œWomen and young girls were tortured and suffered permanent physical injuries to answer publisher demands for photographs depicting sadomasochistic abuse. When the torturer/photographer inquired of the publisher as to the types of depictions that would sell, the torturer/photographer was instructed to get similar existing publications and use the depictions therein for instruction. The torturer/photographer followed the publisherโ€™s instructions, tortured women and girls accordingly, and then sold the photographs to the publisher. The photographs were included in magazines sold nationally in pornographic outletsโ€ ย (Diana Russel, โ€˜Pornography as a Cause of Rapeโ€™)

โ€œThis industry is full of people that hate - literally HATE women.โ€ - Julie Meadows, former porn star

โ€œI got the shit kicked out of me. I was told before the video - and they said this very proudly, mind you - that in this line most of the girls start crying because theyโ€™re hurting so bad โ€ฆ I couldnโ€™t breathe. I was being hit and choked. I was really upset, and they didnโ€™t stop. They kept filming. You can hear me say, โ€˜Turn the fucking camera off,โ€™ and they kept going.โ€ โ€”Regan Starr, on the filming of โ€œRough Sex 2.โ€ ย Quoted in Martin Amisโ€™ โ€œA Rough Tradeโ€

โ€œOver the course of my porn career I have been belittled and treated like a piece of trash more than I could have ever imagined in a lifetime I would. I wasnโ€™t a woman in any of these directors eyes, I was nothing to them. The male talent at times were nice, but sometimes, they were horrible. Iโ€™ve had men choke me, slap me, thrust me so hard until I couldnโ€™t walk and this would happen even after I would tell them to stop. They have no respect for women.โ€ - Erin Moore

โ€œMy first scene was one of the worst experiences of my life. It was very scary. It was a very rough scene. My agent didnโ€™t let me know ahead of timeโ€ฆ I did it and I was crying and they didnโ€™t stop. It was really violent. He was hitting me.โ€ - Sierra Sinn

โ€œMy pussy was so swollen, it was unbelievable. And the next day, I was obligated to work for Cherry Boxxx. And that fโ€”ed me up even more. Working three scenes after having been so injured fโ€”โ€“ me up. For a good six months, I wasnโ€™t normal. My pussy wasnโ€™t normal until a couple of months ago. It just sucks.โ€œ - Eva Angelina

โ€œI love the money, the glamor. I like being recognized. I like the attention. What I donโ€™t like is not being able to shit right. You are constantly doing enemas and youโ€™re fasting and youโ€™re taking all these different pills, ex lax, and it screws up your internal system.โ€ - Kami Andrews

โ€œIt was torture for seven years. I was miserable, I was lonely. I eventually turned to drugs and alcohol, and attempted suicide. I knew I wanted out, but I didnโ€™t know how to get out.โ€ - Jenna Presley

โ€œ I experienced rough sex scenes and have been hit by male talent and told them to stop but they wouldnโ€™t stop until I started to cry and ruined the scene. During one specific scene called โ€œBukkakeโ€ I was really high and the producers knew it and they told me to use a Douche to pretend I was urinating on another performer but I had an accident and instead I defecated on the performer. I was so humiliated and wanted to die. They told me it was okay and not to worry that they werenโ€™t going to make a big deal about it and the next thing I know they blasted the scene all over the web. I felt totally degraded.โ€œ - Michelle Avanti

โ€œWell, I grew up in a small town in Ohio , and when I was 10 years old, I was raped by a high school boy that was about 16. And from there, my mother had an older boyfriend that molested me, so my entire childhood was really shaped by these really traumatic sexual experiences, which ultimately led me to the streets of Hollywood and to porn.โ€ - Traci Lords

โ€œAfter a year or so of that so-called โ€œglamorousโ€ life, I sadly discovered that drugs and drinking were a part of the lifestyle. I began to drink and party out of control! Cocaine, alcohol and ecstasy were my favorites. Before long, I turned into a person I did not want to be. After doing so many hardcore scenes I couldnโ€™t do it anymore. I just remember being in horrible situations and experiencing extreme depression and being alone and sad.โ€ - Andi Anderson

โ€œI shot scenes where I had to pretend to be dead and let someone rape my dead body. I came home bruised and sometimes a little bloody from the rough scenes. I shot deep throat scenes where they slapped me and spit on me and called me horrible things. I threw up, and had to keep shooting.. I couldnโ€™t breathe because of the vomit in my nose and the genitals in my mouth.โ€ - Emily Eve

โ€œMost girls get their first experience in gonzo films โ€“ in which theyโ€™re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch. And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.โ€ - Jenna Jameson

โ€So what porn gave me was debt, diseases and people who think Iโ€™m a used up whore.โ€œ - Anita Remby

โ€œI like to hide โ€” hide everything, you know?โ€ฆ And Iโ€™m not happyโ€ฆ I donโ€™t like myself at allโ€ฆ My whole entire body feels it when Iโ€™m doing it andโ€ฆ I feel so โ€” so gross.โ€ - Belladonna

"When I arrived to the set I expected to do a vaginal girl boy scene. But during the scene with a male porn star, he forced himself anally into me and would not stop. I yelled at him to stop and screamed โ€˜Noโ€™ over and over but he would not stop. The pain became too much and I was in shock and my body went limp.โ€ - Corina Taylor

โ€œMy initiation into prostitution was a gang rape by five men, arranged by Mr. Traynor. It was the turning point in my life. He threatened to shoot me with the pistol if I didnโ€™t go through with it. I had never experienced anal sex before and it ripped me apart. They treated me like an inflatable plastic doll, picking me up and moving me here and there. They spread my legs this way and that, shoving their things at me and into me, they were playing musical chairs with parts of my body. I have never been so frightened and disgraced and humiliated in my life. I felt like garbage. I engaged in sex acts for pornography against my will to avoid being killed. The lives of my family were threatened.โ€ - Linda Lovelace

โ€œI honestly felt that if I had to have another strange man in my face, his hands (God knows where theyโ€™ve been all over me) him calling me his baby and having to exude some sort of forged passion for the world to see, I probably would have exploded. And what would have been stuck to the walls would have probably been nothing, just pieces of skin, bone, the brain of a robot, and what would have been left of what would have existed once as a huge and warm heart.โ€œ - Ashlyn Brooke

โ€œA female porn star thatโ€™d been in the industry for a while had excessive anal intercourse and a piece of her muscle from her anus fell out on set while she was filming. Some females damaged their reproductive systems which left them unable to have children. A male porn star broke the muscle in his penis because he was having abnormal and outrageous rough sexโ€ฆ Both male and female porn stars were committing suicide. A lot of the porn stars were known to go overseas and do bestiality in porn. (Sleeping with animals.) Shortly after that, a numerous amount of people starting turning up with diseases, Herpes to be exact. - Danielle Williams

โ€œDonkey Punch was the most brutal, depressing, scary scene that I have ever done. I have tried to block it out from my memory due to the severe abuse I recieved during the filming. The guy, Steve French has a natural hatred towards women in the sense that he has always been known to be more brutal than EVER needed. I agreed to do the scene thinking it was less beating, except the โ€˜punchโ€™ in the head. If you noticed, steve had worn his solid gold ring the entire time, and continued to punch me with it. I actually stopped the scene while it was being filmed because I was in too much pain."ย  - Alex Devine

"I went through more heartbreaks and became suicidal. I was taken to the hospital for panic attacks. I tried to overdose on xanax, strangle myself, and cut my wrists but not nearly deep enough. I was too scared of the pain. I prayed God would just take me away! I felt helpless.โ€œ - Crissy Moran

"I tried porn a year-and-a-half ago for three weeks. They [my agent DK] booked me for everything I didnโ€™t want to do. I was in the hospital three times. Allergic to lube. Being pounded too hard. My cervix closed up. My ass got torn up.โ€œ - Tiana Lynn

"Being in the world of adult modeling I see A LOT of painโ€ฆ A LOT of heart break. SO many lost girls get into this business just for some extra moneyโ€ฆ to help pay for schoolโ€ฆ to help support themselves or even their children as single moms. "Itโ€™s just temporaryโ€. They are only going to do this for a whileโ€ฆjust a few shoots. I too started out to make some extra money to help me finish school. Almost ALL of the time It doesnโ€™t end where you think it willโ€ฆ..the path goes onโ€ฆ the hole gets deeperโ€ฆ and the road gets darker. MOST of the time the girls donโ€™t even realize it. One day you see this bright beautiful girl shooting tame nudesโ€ฆ the next they are signing on the dotted line of a hard-core porn company. Lost. Broken. Alone.โ€œ - Erica Campbell

โ€As I continued to make harder and grosser porn, I transformed from victim into abuser. In my professional life, I began to act out like a man and abuse women on camera. With a strapped on dildo, I did to women exactly what men had done to me. I even knew how to selfishly stroke myself like a man. All those years in prostitution watching male pigs paid off. The men in porn were even worse pigs, ejaculating themselves on any weak woman on any sacred place on her body. I acted out in revenge the very thing I hated: a male pig.โ€œ - Foxy Roxy

"Like most porn performers I perpetuated this lie. One of my favorite things to say when asked if I liked doing a particular scene was, "I only do what I like! I wouldnโ€™t do it if I didnโ€™t like it!โ€ (I would say this with a big fake smile and giggle.) What a total lie! I did what I had to do to get โ€œworkโ€ in porn. I did what I knew would help me gain โ€œfameโ€ in the industry.โ€œ - Alexa Cruz

"I did gonzo porn to start out and it was the most degrading, embarrassing, horrible thing ever! I had to shoot an interactive DVD which takes hours and hours of shooting time with a 104 degree fever! I was crying and wanted to leave but my agent wouldnโ€™t let me he said he couldnโ€™t let me flake on it. I also did a scene where I was put with male talent that was on my no list. I wanted to please them so I did it. He put his foot on my head and stepped on it while he was doing me from behind. I freaked out and started balling; they stopped filming and sent me home with reduced pay since they got some shot but not the whole scene.โ€ - Jessi Summers

โ€œMy worst day was when I was forced to use a sponge to do a scene because it was already booked and my monthly came early I had never did anything like this. The sponge was pushed so far and got stuck that I had to be taken into the hospital because I had caught a infection and they had to open me up to remove the sponge. I wasnโ€™t able to work for a few weeks and the agent stole two of my checks to replace the money he didnโ€™t get from me leaving me broke and without food.โ€ - Mahlia Milian

โ€œI didnโ€™t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay. Sometimes you would get to a gig and the producer would change what the scene was supposed to be to something more intense and again if you didnโ€™t like it, too bad, you did it or no pay.โ€ - Elizabeth Rollings

โ€œI had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didnโ€™t really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video.โ€ - Genevieve

โ€œMy first movie I was treated very rough by 3 guys. They pounded on me, gagged me with their penises, and tossed me around like I was a ball! I was sore, hurting and could barely walk. My insides burned and hurt so badly. I could barely pee and to try to have a bowel movement was out of the question. I was hurting so bad from the physical abuse from these 3 male porn stars!โ€ - Alexa Milano

โ€œI was sexually abused the first time by my step grandfather on my dadโ€™s side and the second time by my actual stepdad so my sexuality was messed up from the beginning. I created another personality that was in complete control and didnโ€™t have those things happen and didnโ€™t have to deal with the pain. The industry is not a real accomplishment. ย Itโ€™s just a false sense of accomplishment. ย It covers everything up for what it is.โ€ - Stephanie Swift

โ€œPeople in the porn industry are numb to real life and are like zombies walking around. The abuse that goes on in this industry is completely ridiculous. The way these young ladies are treated is totally sick and brainwashing. I left due to the trauma I experienced even though I was there only a short time.โ€ - Jessie Jewels

โ€œI hung out with a lot of people in the Adult industry, everybody from contract girls to gonzo actresses. Everybody has the same problems. Everybody is on drugs. Itโ€™s an empty lifestyle trying to fill up a voidโ€ฆ I became horribly addicted to heroin and crack. I overdosed at least 3 times, had tricks pull knives on me, have been beaten half to death- the only reason I am still here is God.โ€ - Becca Brat

Disturbing Quotes by Pornographers

โ€œAmateurs come across better on screen. Our customers feel that. Especially by women you can see it. They still feel strong pain.โ€ย ย  โ€“ Carlo Scalisi, owner of 21 Sexury Video

"Where else but in porn can you see a guy who just met a girl that day crack her around, choke her out.โ€ - Brandon Iron

โ€œEven the mildest pornography is shocking to the average person. Iโ€™m surprised itโ€™s legal.โ€ - Paul Thomas

โ€œThe girls get torn up like usual.โ€ - Vince Vouyer

โ€œI find myself not that much unlike the slaves and slave traders of some 400 years ago. I participate in the most heinous of ALL trades- THE BUYING AND SELLING OF HUMAN FLESH. I trade my own flesh for monetary compensation and I sell the flesh of others for the same.โ€ - Lexington Steele

โ€œI was the first to shoot Rocco. Together we evolved toward rougher stuff. He started to spit on girls. A strong male-dominant thing, with women being pushed to their limit. It looks like violence but itโ€™s not. I mean, pleasure and pain are the same thing, right?โ€ - John Stagliano

โ€œI can like a rape scene if I really like the girl and itโ€™s done wellโ€ฆIโ€™m all about the sex and pretty girls and appreciating them.โ€ โ€”Pornographer John Stagliano, quoted in Robert Jensenโ€™s Getting Off

โ€œItโ€™s like a dog marking its territory. You know, why do dogs pee on fire hydrants and trees? I donโ€™t know. Itโ€™s just like a man will leave his mark on a woman. You see something beautiful, youโ€™ve got to let them know you were there.โ€ โ€“Pornographer Brandon Iron, explaining why men like to ejaculate onto womenโ€™s faces

โ€œEssentially, it comes from every man whoโ€™s unhappily married, and he looks at his wife who just nagged at him about this or that or whatnot, and he says, โ€œIโ€™d like to fuck you in the ass.โ€ Heโ€™s angry at her, right? And he canโ€™t, so he would rather watch some girl taking it up the ass and fantasize at that point heโ€™s doing whatever girl happened to be mean to him that particular day, and that is the attraction, because when people watch anal, nobody wants to watch a girl enjoying analโ€ โ€”Paul Hesky of Multimedia Pictures, as quoted by Robert Jensen in Getting Off.

โ€œIโ€™d like to really show what I believe the men want to see: violence against women. I firmly believe that we serve a purpose by showing that. The most violent we can get is the cum shot in the face. Men get off behind that, because they get even with the women they canโ€™t have. We try to inundate the world with orgasms in the face.โ€ โ€“ Ex-porn actor and Free Speech Coalition board member Bill Margold, quoted by Stoller and Levine.ย 

โ€œMy whole reason for being in this Industry is to satisfy the desire of the men in the world who basically donโ€™t much care for women and want to see the men in my Industry getting even with the women they couldnโ€™t have when they were growing up. I strongly believe thisโ€ฆ so we come on a womanโ€™s face or somewhat brutalize her sexually: weโ€™re getting even for their lost dreams. I believe this. Iโ€™ve heard audiences cheer me when I do something foul on screen. When Iโ€™ve strangled a person or sodomized a person, or brutalized a person, the audience is cheering my action, and then when Iโ€™ve fulfilled my warped desire, the audience applauds.โ€ - Bill Margold, porn industry veteran and Free Speech Coalition board member.

โ€œWhen I shot that trailer for Thanksgiving, I really thought there was no problem with anything - it just shows you how genuinely out of touch I am! I was likeโ€ฆa full frontal labial shot, to camera, of a girl landing on a knife seemed like no problem to me. Itโ€™s an exploitation movie. Itโ€™s my job to exploit.

โ€œWomen are here to serve men. Look at them, they got to squat to piss. Hell, that proves it.โ€ โ€” Larry Flynt, Hustlerโ€™s publisher, quoted on The Anti-porn Resource Center

โ€œT.T. reflects exactly what that sort of porno is about where you screw the hell out of the woman and come all over her face. He throws girls around.

"We do a series called โ€˜Cocktailsโ€™ โ€” itโ€™s pretty repugnant. Girls have sex by a couple guys, and the guys and the girl, they have sex with her, and sheโ€™s giving fellatio and sheโ€™s hacking up boogies in a bowl. And theyโ€™re spitting in the bowl. And then sheโ€™ll think sheโ€™s vomiting in the bowl, and at the end they come in the bowl. And then she drinks it all down. Thatโ€™s pretty repugnant. (Laughs) Sometimes we do a fellatio line, where the girlโ€™s giving fellatio, and sheโ€™s gagging so much she vomits. โ€ฆ Itโ€™s repugnant. It is, Yes. Weโ€™ve got tons of stuff they technically could arrest us for. And when this happened, I put on our website โ€” I made a big speech: โ€˜I welcome the LAPD to come on down.โ€™ I said, โ€˜Come and get me,โ€™ I said, โ€œBecause we wonโ€™t go down without a fight. We will fight this. Regardless of the cost, we will fight it. We will take it to the airwaves.โ€ โ€”Rob Black, Extreme Associates (Source: pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/porn/interviews/black.html).

โ€œWomen were born with three holes for one purpose: To cram a cock deep inside every cuddly cavity! Like true cock sockets, our whores subject their beautiful bodies to the nastiest 4-way debauchery ever lensed. We capture five starry-eyed sluts getting wild and testing the limits of carnal cock-consumption. They redefine raunchy and stretch the limits of ass, mouth, and pussy penetration.โ€ โ€” Promotional copy for Zero Tolerance - No Holes Barred.

"Max fucks chicks he finds the way you like to โ€” getting cute cunts on his couch. Using their tight holes to pleasure his stiff cock. Max turns ordinary teens and motherโ€™s [sic] alike into piss and cum-splattered sluts before your eyesโ€ฆ Max wastes no time, gagging girls on his cock and pissing down their throats before he even learns their email addresses! Max is the originator of rectal-boring action โ€” gaping assholes, and fisting cuntsโ€ฆ Max also uses speculums to pry-open their fuck-holes so you can look deep inside. Heโ€™ll spray his cum and piss into the gaping tunnels, even making them drink it out of their ass! Whether its [sic] naรฏve teen or classy broad, Max delivers the same ruthless treatment.โ€ โ€” Excerpt of โ€œMax Hardcore Biographyโ€, Max Hardcore official website (Source: maxhardcore.com/whoismax/index.htm).
