De-Gendering Capricorn and Stellium Hot-Takes
I think it's maybe worth like, as part of that is we sort of have to recognize how inconsistent our models for gender have been, historically, we have sort of a basis, maybe that's consistent dish, which actually, and this is sort of my argument for why, why maybe it doesn't feel like it applies as well, anymore. The Earth maybe as a feminine sign or a feminine element, is because coldness has, you know, many layers of meaning coldness versus heat have layers outside of this, but one of the components of it is like social status, cold, draws things down, it keeps things still, it brings them down lower, well, heat makes things go up, they rise, they go higher, in terms of like status, and who did you see out in the world 100 years ago, 200 years ago, men, they're out doing things they're out, accomplishing in all the positions of power and achieving everything, while women are supposed to stay home. Stay cold, stay still. And, you know, keep things secure and be afraid all the time. That's like another coldness. Actually, I mean, the positive end of it is promotes thought before action. It's like birth is better at thinking before they act, right. Think of any earth sign.
The Signs of the Zodiac III - Astrology 101
With the Sun in Aquarius, you really get almost the archetypal challenger of authority. Whoever is in power right now, Aquarius is there to hold them accountable, think of an investigative journalist, to some degree not so much the investigative, but what journalism is supposed to be is a check on power. And that's was kind of the whole idea of democracy in a sense, or at least American democracy, to have checks and balances and to have, you know, power spread out as opposed to consolidated in one person. And I think that is a strong theme with Aquarius and what Aquarius planets tend to be shooting for. Not that Leo is you know, just trying to be the king and rule the roost. You know, Leo can be fair.
The Signs of the Zodiac II - Astrology 101
I've heard the joke that Gemini is interested in so many things and wants to follow so many pursuits that it has to split itself into two people to be able to do them all. And you know, when I think of the very Gemini people in my own life, they're constantly surprising me with the number of jobs they've done in fields that have absolutely no connection to one another whatsoever. The number of hobbies they have the number of projects they have on the go, just constantly working on multiple things at a time. Many of which have no common thread connecting them. I don't know how they get the time or how they do not completely burn themselves out. But you know, when you think of the the classical image of mercury with the wings on his feet constantly going, you know, from here to there delivering messages from place to place. So just stopping briefly in every single place, and you know, picking up a bit of information here and there, that tells you a lot about the spirit of the sign of Gemini.
