ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS

(not professional, just what I’ve seen:)

• many Earth Venus’s (especially in men) may find it difficult to commit to solely one person or are very picky in who they choose to have a relationship with.

• a LOT of cancer risings I know and have seen always have prominent beauty marks or moles on their face, or have some sort of fixation with beauty marks.

• it’s so easy to spot a Leo rising because they always have such beautiful hair

• All Earth Rising signs have beautiful hair and prominent facial structure

• People with aquarius and Capricorn mercury have a beautiful way of speaking

• All 3 water rising signs have beautiful eyes

• Whenever I see Mars - Ascendant aspect, these people always have either a magnetic or aggressive demeanor to them (or both).

• Venus- Neptune aspects tend to always be in their heads, and they usually prefer that!

• Many water signs in someone’s chart usually indicates to me that this person is very good at convincing others.

• Though only one singular placement, Scorpio Lilith is such a strong placement, and because it’s such a strong placement many people with this aspect tend to show it more than some major placements depending on other placements in the chart.

• Those with Chiron in cancer may have been especially sensitive as a child and the mother influences this individual through life (could be in a positive way or negative way).

• I have also noticed that people with cancer rising and Leo rising share a lot of qualities (appearances and personality) because they are right next to each other. For instance those with Leo rising have few but quite noticeable cancer rising qualities and same goes for the other way around. I haven’t really noticed this with any other two signs close together besides these 2.

•Fire rising signs have contagious smiles

Holy shit.

Don’t I Get a Dream for Myself ? – Bernadette Peters and the 'Gypsy' Saga

Gypsy. It’s perhaps the most daunting of all of the projects related to Bernadette Peters to try to grapple with and discuss. It’s also perhaps the most significant.

For someone notoriously guarded of her privacy and personal life, careful with her words, and selective of the questions she answers, the narrative around this show provides some of the most meaningful insights it is possible to derive in relation to Bernadette herself. The show’s ability to do this is unique, through the way it eerily parallels her own life and spans a large range in time from both Bernadette Peters the Broadway Legend, right back to where it all began with Bernadette Lazzara, the young Italian girl put into showbusiness by her mother.

The most logical place to start is at the very beginning – it is a very good place to start, after all.

(Though no one tell Gypsy this, if the fierce two-way battle with The Sound of Music at the 1960 Tony Awards is anything to be remembered. Anyway, I digress…)

Gypsy: A Musical Fable with music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, and book by Arthur Laurents, burst into the world and onto the New York stage in May of 1959. After closing on Broadway in March 1961, Ethel Merman as the world’s original Mama Rose herself led the first national tour off almost immediately around the country. Just a few months later, a second national touring company was formed, starring Mitzi Green and then Mary McCarty as Rose, to cover more cities than the original. It is here that Bernadette comes in.

A 13-year-old Bernadette Peters found herself part of this show in her “first professional” on-the-road production, travelling across the country with her older sister, “Donna (who was also in the show), and their mother (who wasn’t)”.

The tour played through cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, New Haven, Baltimore and Las Vegas before closing in Ohio in 1962. Somewhat uncannily, its September 1961 opening night in Detroit’s Schubert Theatre even returns matters full circle to the 2003 revival and New York’s own Schubert Theatre.

Indeed this bus-and-truck tour was somewhat of a turning point for Bernadette. She’d later remember, “I mostly thought of performing as a hobby until I went on the road with Gypsy”.

But while this production seminally marked a notable moment for the young actress as well as the point where her long and consequential involvement with Gypsy begins, it’s important to recognise she was very much not yet the star of the show and then only a small part of a larger whole.

Bernadette was with the troupe as a member of the ensemble. She took on different positions in the company through the period of nearly a year that the show ran for, including billing as ‘Thelma’ (one of the Hollywood Blondes), ‘Hawaiian Girl’, and additional understudy credits for Agnes and Dainty June.

The above photo shows Bernadette (left) with another member of the ensemble (Sharon McCartin) backstage at the Chicago Opera House as one of the stops along the tour. Her comment on the stage of the Chicago theatre – “I’d never seen anything so big in my life!” – undeniably conveys how her experiences were new and appreciably daunting.

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: Mars Dominants and Burning Out

Trigger warning: Mention of self-harm. You are worthy.

Physical illness can be a wake-up call to change, evolve, or stop what's hurting you

But specifically for Mars dominants - Scorpio and Aries.

The physical illness will act like a piercing call that cuts through the mind and emotion. The soul uses this method as a last resort because Mars dominants are prone to burning themselves to exhaustion, ignoring their mind and emotions that tell them to rest.

This is effectively a form or self harm, and many Mars dominants can experience more direct periods of self-harm, too. Either as a way to punish oneself or due to the feeling of the subconscious yearning to be released.

Through burn-out the physical health will decline. The physical responses Mars dominants experience can feel like the body attacking itself (or literally attacking itself in terms of autoimmune diseases). It is the inner self calling itself back to it.

Earth and water dominants tend to be a bit more intune with how they are feeling physically. Their reluctance to be rushed or to even rush themselves also helps.

For air dominants, it is typically the deterioration of the mind that causes the wake-up call. This will be in the form of excessive anxiety, paranoia, overthinking, forgetfulness, and psychosis.
