“I became a mother without ever having sex.  I was sixteen.  My sister was older than me, and she was living a reckless life.  By the time we found out she was pregnant, she was already three months along.  And the baby was born premature, so there was no time to prepare.  My sister went back to the street life, and everything fell on me.  I became the mother.  I was feeding him, changing his diapers, waking up in the middle of the night.  My mother helped at first, but soon she had a stroke and lost all movement on her right side.  The doctor told us she wouldn’t be able to care for a child.  So she signed Aidan over to me, right there in the hospital.  I was only eighteen years old.  I was taking care of my mom.  I was taking care of my son.  I kept it all very private.  I didn’t tell my tennis coach why I had to quit the team.  I didn’t tell my friends why I couldn’t take vacations, or go to parties, or go to college.  I didn’t want the stigma.  I started working four jobs.  I pushed all my own feelings to the back of my mind just to make sure my son was OK.   I couldn’t even grieve when my mom passed away.  I had to think about him.  I had to make sure he was fine.  Since then it’s been the two of us.  Aidan and I grew up together.  He’s a great kid.  He’s so respectful.  I get stopped all the time in our building.  Complete strangers tell me how much they love him.  He holds the door for people.  He helps people carry their groceries.  He’s focused.  He’s a go-getter. He gives one hundred percent, just like his mom.  When there’s something that has to be done, he gets it done.”   #quarantinestories

So it’s the late ‘60s and you’re just frequenting a little gay coffee shop trying to watch some little gay theatre pieces and then you’re seeing the debut of a woman who will capture the attention of New York theatre goers for the better part of the next half century

Personal planets in Scorpio — what will die and be reborn?

Sun in Scorpio

You are meant to go through a massive transformation of your personality. Often Scorpios go through all-or-nothing periods. Your level of energy is going to be tested all the time. That is why some astrologers say that Scorpio Suns are prone to depression. Sun is our general energy so being in a transformative sign Scorpio it goes through periods of highs and lows. You are meant to know deeply about your own personality and self-expression. All your talents will be the tools to investigate your dark sides. You have to accept your authentic self. Yes, sometimes Scorpio Sun may not be easy but transformative experiences will help you to gain wisdom and insight.

Moon in Scorpio

This placement is the hardest among all personal planets in Scorpio. You are meant to go through emotional transformations all the time. Your emotions and feelings are deep but most of the time you don’t show it. All the tension is inside you and nobody can fully understand what you feel. Transformative experiences of Scorpio Moon are going to help you to become wise, insightful, spiritual, and perceptive. You feel people and see who they truly are. You can’t explain it with words because Moon is our subconscious but you just feel and know. You see what people hide behind their masks. Scorpio Moon often gives anxiety disorders and problems with sleeping because the Scorpio sign is controlling and intense but the essence of Moon is too soft and sensitive for that.

Mercury in Scorpio

First of all, it may be the case that you had problems with communication in your childhood. Other children could not understand you and your ideas. Scorpio Mercury not only transforms our way of communication throughout life but also our ability to dig deep into our souls and find the right words to explain the truth. It is necessary because something needs to be brought to the surface to live it through. You are going to go through transformations of ideas and creativity. You are meant to know how deep and insightful they can be. People with Mercury in Scorpio are incredibly intelligent. They can dig deep into the topic and learn new things in detail. These folks are great detectives. They see little details and notice them to use in the future.

Venus in Scorpio

Of course, love life, material possessions, values, and self-esteem are going to be transformed. Scorpio Venus people often have low self-esteem and they need to go through a lot of changes to understand their worth. Your values will be transforming and becoming deeper and more meaningful throughout life. Scorpio Venus people often attract problematic or toxic partners because they want to transform and heal them but they need to understand that the first person to save are themselves. You may have a difficult relationship with money. The most important thing to do for Scorpio Venus folks is to accept and love themselves. Healthy self-esteem is the key to success and true love.

Mars in Scorpio

Here we go — all-or-nothing attitude. When you love something, you are extremely passionate about it and nothing can stop you. However, Scorpio energy is transformative and your ability to act and make decisions in life is going to be transformed. You are going to have highs and lows throughout life, and your level of energy and motivation is going to change a lot. This is meant to make you invest your energy into exploring your soul and every part of it — good and bad. You are meant to dig deep into your traumas and unhealed wounds to find ways to heal them. You will help a lot of people with their healing journey even with your example. Your wisdom and insight can help others a lot.

Astrology Observations: Scorpio Edition ☠️

🦂In doing these observations, I like breaking down the differences between the Sun, Moon and Rising in a sign. With Scorpio, I look at each as the different elements of a crime scene.

(These are analogies/metaphors, btw. Please don't take this literally)

Scorpio Rising is like the detective. They are investigators, obsessive thinkers, and will dig and dig until they find the info they need. It is very hard to hide around them because they will ask questions, get in your head, and figure out your motives. Most people don't know what they're doing and the extent of their manipulation. But, like the detective, this skill can be used for good.

Scorpio Sun is the murder victim. And, hold on, I am not saying they are weak or powerless. It's more so that the metaphorical "deaths" they have to endure end up shaping who they are. And, like a murder victim, they become very well-known for how they "died", whether it was through heartbreak, betrayal, career/financial loss, mental health struggles/breakdowns, etc. But, the good thing is that they learn that any kind of death is only a transformation.

Scorpio Moon is the killer. As nice and charming as this person may appear (and genuinely be), there is a fierce, sometimes even ruthless instinct within. It's just about learning how to destroy what needs to be killed off, in a positive/constructive sense. But, heaven help those who fuck around and find out. Like a killer, they can be both vaguely intimidating but also the last person you'd expect. Their dark or ferocious side can catch people off guard and that intensity is not only unmatched but can rage out of control if not managed.

(All three placements have a little of each archetype in them but each displays these respective energies the most)

🦂 People with Scorpio placements = love of horror movies. Most of the time, anyway. Especially Scorpio Sun, Moon or Rising. This obsession may begin young and even extend to a fascination with true crime. This is my Moon sign and I loved horror and serial killer documentaries so much growing up that I got side-eyed a few times lol. (But, now, of course, that's become trendy)

🦂 Scorpio Venus people are not necessarily the die-hard, super-serious, "I love you so I must breathe your oxygen" relationship types that they're made out to be. Some of them channel a lot of that intensity into the sexual part of relationships while remaining casual or emotionally unavailable otherwise. So, this placement can be as much of a player or serial dater as anyone. That just may not exactly be how they want to act deep down.

🦂 Those with Mercury in Scorpio usually have some skill with divination, whether or not they are tapped into it. They could make excellent astrologers or Tarot readers. Some of them are naturally good at spell work, as well, or could be skilled mediums or channelers.

🦂 There are two types of Scorpio Risings: 1) the ones who give you witchy or sexy vampire vibes (and who may identify with either archetype) 2) the ones who seem like adorable, harmless elfin/fae beings who are much more powerful than they initially appear.

🦂 Scorpio people look great in all black and this isn't limited to the Venus or Rising sign. It is a power move of sorts and a way to honor one's shadow self (which every self-respecting Scorpio person will thrive on). Also, try black boots, ultra-high heels for those who wear them, and anything sheer like mesh or lace.

🦂 Scorpio Moon people are either very naturally seductive/erotic/alluring (even if they don't try or aren't aware of it) or has the sex appeal of a bowl of mashed potatoes, even though they may try very hard to be sexy. Sexiness can vary with Scorpio people and does tend to exist in extremes. But, since the Moon is what comes instinctively, this is truest for them. They either have it or they don't.

🦂 Scorpio Mars people can be very, VERY petty. This is the lower expression of it. The evolved ones will have a past of vindictive behavior or holding ridiculous grudges but learn to rise above that. And I mean ridiculous grudges. Like, "you ate the last slice of pizza that I wanted two years ago and I haven't forgotten it".

🦂 Scorpio Suns and daddy issues go together like peanut butter and jelly. In most cases, either the father figure walks out on them or dies during their upbringing or they just have a super-complicated relationship.

🦂 It's hard to find a sign that is more proud of their sign than Scorpio. Virgo's may outdo them (because so many Virgos LOVE telling you they're a Virgo lol) but they're up there. This extends to the Moons and Risings, as well. They are quite likely to get a tattoo of the Scorpio symbol or a scorpion or phoenix or eagle.

Someone on here said Bernadette would not be at the Tony’s this year and I’m curious as to why.

Charlotte Brontë: Here’s my novel about a young governess who falls in love with a charming asshole edgelord who keeps his wife in the attic

Emily Brontë: Here’s my novel about a tragic orphan and a young lady who torture each other and call it love

Anne Brontë: Here’s my novel about a woman who leaves an abusive marriage and nabs herself a hot young Yorkshire sheepfarmer who Treats Her Right

Me: Oh thank God, at least one of you is sensible.
