Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn lovers: you say you love me? Convince me that I need you. Then, and only then, would I consider depending on someone.
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius lovers: you say you love me? Prove it. Then, and only then will I believe you.
Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces lovers: you say you love me? Come into my world. Then, and only then, will you know the real me.

Which zodiac sign is the oldest and which is the youngest?
Despite what people would think, in astrology, the oldest zodiac sign is Pisces for being the 12th and last sign in the circle with the youngest being Aries, the first sign. Basically, a younger sign is one that is closer to Aries in distance on the zodiac wheel and an older is closer to Pisces.
The “age” difference between our Sun signs and Moon signs can actually be very insightful of the relationship between our ego and our subconscious. Let’s take a look:
Your Moon sign is younger than your Sun sign:
Example: Virgo Sun with Cancer Moon
You may desire to be a mature person, but at heart you are a child. You want to be happy, but your older ego may tell you to stop and get your work done. It can be difficult to live with young and powerful emotions if you do not accept them and nurture them. People with this combination of Sun and Moon signs may be more prone to sudden emotional outbursts when they don’t want it or hiding their emotions away for the longest time as they build up unhealthily. However, once you fully accept your emotions and take care of them, it will be much easier to balance your more responsible and adult side with your childish and fun-loving side.
Your Moon sign is older than your Sun sign:
Example: Scorpio Sun with Sagittarius Moon
Your emotions may be wise, but your ego won’t always listen to them. You will want to play- for a while. Then, the game is no longer fun and you get bored. It is likely that you take more risks because your emotions tell you it’s not a good idea, but your ego wants you to do it out of spite and to impress. As someone with this placement, I find that it is like having your own emotions mother you. When harmonious, there are beautiful things about elder emotions once you accept the signs and warnings they give you. Your subconscious knows what you really need in life and following them is following your heart. They are often very careful with your conscious, which makes emotional outbursts less common. Your emotional self wants nothing from you but to learn, grow, and find yourself in this crazy heck of a reality.
Your Moon sign is the same age as your Sun sign:
Example: Aquarius Sun with Aquarius Sun
Your ego and emotions may have the easiest time working together. They may be best friends with each other since they are so similar. The only downside to this combination is that they may not learn so much from each other and one may be very dependent on the other. But in a world of infinite knowledge, if the two have to learn and grow together then that is what they do.

Inner Demon
Sun in the 8th (or Leo in the 8th house cusp): The will, that brilliant and majestic will. That will that is equally driven toward self destruction, the will that is relentless about fighting for the right to live. The individual bonds with lovers so profusely that they imbibe the purpose of their lover as part of their own
Moon in the 8th (or Cancer on the 8th house cusp): The inner demon waits and expresses through emotional energy, deceiving the individual into believing they are at hostage to these wild emotions. Through the ego-loss of the 8th, the individual can separate the self from the emotion, understanding emotion as transforming, insightful experience and not the captor
Mercury in the 8th (or Gemini/Virgo on the 8th cusp): The demon resting in the mind, crawling into thoughts to contaminate them, easily destroying others with words. The individual may identify these thoughts as part of themselves. Realising the inner monologue is separate from the self deflates these mental experiences opens the door of free flowing intuition from the unconscious
Venus in the 8th (or Taurus/Libra on the 8th house cusp): The demon is projected onto lovers, the demon waits in the heart’s desire, its compulsion its consumption, can harmonise the forces of light and dark. They can sensitively draw lovers into a magic cauldron of sexual experience, revealing everything including soul
Mars in the 8th (or Aries/Scorpio on the 8th house cusp): The rage, the carnal urges, the desire to consume. The swords for invisible battle are raised, but in this the individual accomplishes great feats in the material world, especially in terms of relationships. The intuition is focused toward exhuming connections with other people, settling for nothing less than magnificent
Jupiter in the 8th (or Sagittarius/Pisces on the 8th house cusp): The desire to know, to have the answer, to relentlessly pursuit spiritual desires in the material world. The inner world is a portal to the ravaged and raised guru. Intuition conduits through the higher mind directly from the underworld, ready to cultivate the purest wisdom
Saturn in the 8th (or Capricorn/Aquarius on the 8th house cusp): The ego, it’s grip on the self and its refusal to let go. The fears of relenting and giving into insanity. Vulnerability, letting go, and trusting the universe with its astral body is the place where the individual can master both worlds. Intuitive capacities can be mindfully developed and primed
Uranus in the 8th (or Aquarius on the 8th house cusp): The tendency to hold onto lost life, lost circumstances, lost loves, and lost lifestyles. The overturn of change is tremendous, when the person submits they can experience multiple lives and conscious experiences that become purely elevating, facilitating bursts of ingenious psychic activity
Neptune in the 8th (or Pisces on the 8th house cusp): The desire to seduce the feeling of death, of seeing how far they can go teasing the ledges of consciousness. It’s about extracting wisdom, healing, and peace through the quality of these experiences rather than destructing through quantity escapism. This sense of elevation they experience must be transmuted into everyday life
Pluto in the 8th (or Scorpio in the 8th house cusp): The allure and reticence associated with union. The individual must be mindful about sharing spiritual resources with other people, they can introduce something sinister. They can live from chaos to chaos, or they can charter their sensitivity toward conscious transformation of the whole spirit, as new energy flows, perspective must become renewed

Gemini: *Finds out new information* releases it to the first person in proximity *finds out new information* releases it again. But words are Gemini ingredients and they have loose lips, they can jumble or exaggerate ‘facts’ because words are so entertaining. the information can now be read in the opposite way. Information is energy
Virgo: Learns skills thoroughly in multiple formats - audio, kinesthetic, visual and broken down into detail. The information is only stored away if it has or will have practical/applicable usefulness. Virgos are de-clutterers. As soon as something becomes useless it is discarded and Virgo is the same with knowledge. Information is substance for Virgo
Sagittarius: Is a 360 degree learner requiring the complete experience to really benefit from the opportunity to expand the mind. Information is pieced together detail by detail and crafted into a giant jigsaw with a bird’s eye view. Information is an itinerary for Sagittarius. And honesty is important.
Aquarius: Tests the personal, intuitive, and rational legitimacy of information. New knowledge helps inspire fresh and original ideas. The Aquarius is most deaf when assuming their intellectual superiority and mocking people’s beliefs. Information is a resource for Aquarius that helps them change the world. It’s taken seriously. Honesty is important

::: The moon is a powerful part of me and I resonate deeply with her. She rules my ascendant, has rulership over my sun sign, and aspects all of my planets from her own residence in the 4th house. She pulsates through me, I understand her burden. And so, I also understand how to reason with her :::
Moon-Sun contacts 🌟 Finding healing, passageway and assurance of emotions through creative self-expression. Consciously remind yourself it is your birthright to present your identity through what you feel. Follow your intuition as to genuinely experience the vibrancies around you.
Moon-Mercury contacts 💬 Stimulate your cerebral centers with all forms of literature, media, amusing entertainment, and communicative exchange that cultivate the mind. Vent verbally to yourself or a journal. You are so concerned with getting other people to listen to you, but maybe for once you should listen to yourself.

Access your aesthetic awareness and pleasure yourself through artistic expression, listening to your favorite music, and appreciating the comforts and sentiments in life. Satisfy your social urges by interacting with people you’re affectionate about, or if not socially inclined, regenerate yourself and indulge in sweet solitude.
Moon-Mars Contacts 🔥 Access your fighting spirit & express your emotional storms; it is therapeutic to release anger, yell and cry tears of frustration. Physical activity revitalizes soul wounds, take a walk or stretch every now and then. Interact with your passions. Consciously confront your inner war and strife.

Start small, and work your way up; specks of wisdom, dignity and growth are found through even the smallest of personal achievements.
⚠ Emotional mastery does not come from suppression of emotion from which you disguise as “control of emotions.” Contrarily, suppression of emotion originates from fear of facing them, therefore it is fear that controls you. emotional proficiency comes from conscious addressment and evaluation–emotions shouldn’t have authority over you, it’s supposed to be the other way around; have sovereignty over what you feel. “This is how I am feeling, and this is how I will handle it.” tell it to yourself straight, cowardice is not the way of Saturn ⚠
Moon-Uranus Contacts ⚡️ Color emotional upsets with humor and face them with healthy, collected objectivity. Embrace change and access your individualistic spirit, birthing bright, original concepts and unusual inspiration for yourself. Access cosmic consciousness and keen intuition by involving yourself with the world, such as communities and friends you affiliate with, whether it be online (Uranus rules technology) or off (Uranus rules any group, society&community-all facets of the collective).
Moon-Neptune Contacts 💦 Daydreaming and sleeping to settle sorrows and unexplained psychic pains. Losing yourself to meditation and other spiritual, artistic and musical journeys. Avoid feeling the harmful vibrations of others for awhile and to get in tuned with your own vibes & emotions through healthy isolation.
Moon-Pluto Contacts 🔮Find comfort in loneliness and give yourself plenty of private time as to evaluate and expel emotional disturbances and self-destructive tendencies. Listen to your psychic sense and consciously access your fears, utilize your inner psychologist. Interest yourself in mystical and esoteric studies.
For anyone with emotional aches

The 8th House, ruled by Scorpio, deals with trauma, ‘death’, healing, transformation, secrets, and inheritances. My main focus for this post is to pinpoint how each sign experiences death and rebirth (not literally), or in other words, how they heal and experience growth and change.
*check only your 8th house*
Aries: Aries will experience ‘death’ from blows to self-esteem and confidence, possibly from being bullied or abused. This can cause them to develop defensiveness and a short-temper, becoming easily enraged and intimidating, mostly out of fear and because it is all they have been taught. Rebirth occurs when the individual learns to manage their anger and bundled energy through healthy coping mechanisms and realizing that it takes more than appearing strong. They must see that they are truly warriors as they have endured so much in life.
Taurus: Taurus will experience ‘death’ from feeling they are not safe or secure and from having their valuables and belongings taken from them (people or things). This can cause them to become selfish, overbearing, and controlling over everything they own and possibly over people they care about. They can become greedy, possessive, and obsessive to an extreme level. Rebirth occurs when they come to the realization that they will not truly feel complete by owning valuables and hoarding their belongings, they must find value in themselves. For so long, they’ve focused on materialistic values and completely lack inner security. As they overcome their issues, they will gain abilities in resourcefulness and stability that will aid them in times of crisis or struggle.
Gemini: Gemini will experience ‘death’ from being deceived, betrayed, or emotionally / mentally abused. Someone or several people in their lives have used words against them to make them feel lesser for their own personal gain. This can cause Gemini to act in the same way, manipulating others, hurting others with your words, and having an inner sense of irritability and anxiety. Rebirth occurs when you come to understand psychology and why people act and say what they do. You will see that those who have hurt you were insecure and envious, possibly having major issues of their own. You will soon learn to accept and understand your past and see that you have gained intelligence and wit from your observations. Your newfound abilities will help you instead of hurt you.
Cancer: Cancer will experience ‘death’ from being neglected, abandoned, or feeling as though they have no support or nurturing in their life. Most times this stems from the relationship with the mother. This can cause Cancer to be clingy, needy, extremely overbearing and overprotective, and insecure. They will do whatever it takes to receive love and attention because they do not feel they are loved. No matter how much love and nurturing they receive, it will never be enough for them. They will end up taking friends and partners for granted. Rebirth occurs when they learn to love themselves. This can start from engaging in self-care and self-nurturing, finding things about themselves they like, going to therapy, etc.
Leo: Leo will experience ‘death’ from heartbreak, trauma, or abuse that will affect their self-expression and them as an individual. They can feel as though they do not know who they are and remain in the state they were in when they were being hurt or abused, making them insecure, dramatic, and attention-seeking. They can appear selfish, arrogant, and conceited because of their tendency to always bring up their own problems into conversation, but really, they’re seeking guidance and assurance from others, though it goes in one ear and right out the other for them. They will experience rebirth when they learn to cope with their pain and overcome their insecurities and emotional issues. When they have healed, their true compassion, generosity, and self-expression will shine through.
Virgo: Virgo will experience ‘death’ from being brutally judged and criticized, from being forced to be someone they are not, and from feeling worthless and useless due to the harsh remarks and actions of others. This can cause them to be extremely obsessed with being perfect, possibly checking every single flaw in themselves and in others, criticizing themselves and others, and feeling constantly tense and overwhelmed. Rebirth will occur when they realize that no one is perfect and not everyone can be held to specific standards. There is no need to try so hard to reach perfection when in reality, it cannot be achieved. As they heal, they will feel much more grounded and calm.
Libra: Libra will experience ‘death’ from not feeling loved, accepted, or valued in the correct way. Also, by being in a situation that lacked harmony and security. They may have been neglected or possibly sexually / physically abused. Because of this, Libra is so obsessed with feeling loved and accepted, they may throw themselves at others, act like someone they are not to fit in, show off the more intimate side to them too quickly, and likely getting into friendships and relationships on and off because they do not feel worthy or good enough for them. Rebirth occurs when they learn to love and accept themselves for who they are and realize that they are valued and respected. As they heal, they learn to incorporate harmony, love, and peace into their lives.
Scorpio: Scorpio will experience ‘death’ from being abused in any form, experiencing death of a loved one, or from being abandoned. This surely is the most intense and personal placement for the 8th house, as Scorpio is its native sign. Because of their experiences, Scorpio will become a very destructive and ruthless individual, engaging in self-harm, lashing out on others, isolating themselves, ending jobs and relationships only to start over again, etc. A constant cycle of death and rebirth with every aspect of their life will be a constant. Rebirth will occur when they recover and overcome their issues both mentally and emotionally. These individuals are capable of turning their pain into something worthwhile and will become powerful and passionate people when they heal, capable of helping others recover from their pain, as well.
Sagittarius: Sagittarius will experience ‘death’ due to a lack of freedom, expression, and confidence in themselves due to traumatic or painful events caused by others. This can cause Sagittarius to become overly rebellious, engaging in impulsive and sometimes dangerous activities as a means to lash out at those who have restricted them. They can also have zero faith in themselves and their talents and abilities, never truly knowing which direction in life they wish to go. Rebirth occurs when they realize they are taking things too far with their rebellion, especially if rebirth occurs in adulthood when true freedom is experienced. They must also realize that they can do anything they can set their mind to, so they should definitely pursue their talents and abilities. When they have healed, they will become open-minded, encouraging others to be themselves, and will be an inspiration to all.
Capricorn: Capricorn will experience ‘death’ from feeling worthless, feeling like a failure, and from not being able to achieve what they wanted in life. They have experienced something in life that they had no control over and therefore feel powerless and vulnerable. Because of this, they experience anxiety, self-doubt, and stress on a daily basis. They can be very obsessed with controlling their environment and this may make them appear bossy and demanding. Rebirth occurs when they begin to work towards understanding and overcoming their inner insecurities and realize that as long as they remained determined and ambitious, they can achieve what they want. Some things happen in life that are beyond anyone’s control, but they should not let this stop them from continuing to try.
Aquarius: Aquarius will experience ‘death’ from feeling isolated, alone, and weird. They may have been treated as an outsider and did not receive the proper attention and social development they should have. This can cause them to be distant, emotionally detached, and robotic. Rebirth occurs when they learn that their differences are what make them special and unique and when they allow themselves to open up to others. Close friends and loved ones can help them overcome their fears of accepting themselves and emotionally connecting with others. As they heal, they will become much more friendly and cooperative, embracing their individuality and encouraging others to accept theirs as well.
Pisces: Pisces will experience ‘death’ from a traumatic and distressing event which likely involved those around them being lost, deluded, or absent. This can sometimes be linked to being around drug addicts in early life, experiencing or witnessing abuse, or being manipulated and taken advantage of. This can cause them to feel like a victim in life, feeling vulnerable, weak, and experiencing nightmares, ptsd, chronic anxieties, and deep worry. They may retreat from reality by isolating themselves and possibly by gaining addictions of their own. Rebirth occurs when they find ways to cope with their reality, accept their past, and think more rationally and logically. As they heal, they will grow to become compassionate, loving, and extremely creative. They can turn their experiences into guidance and inspiration for others and use art to express their pain.

Hey yall, it’s Briana.
Jaketa is currently physically making the 29 hour (i think) drive from Little Rock, AR to Los Angeles, CA! And not only could I not be happier, I also figured I needed to stop bullshitting and write this blog post! I’ve made two cross country moves in the past 3 years and I’m always trying to inspire my friends to make some type of move from the south because my move was so life changing! My main reason for wanting to move from Texas when I did was because I really wanted to make money creatively. The thought of having a 9-5 or honestly any type of situation that required me to go and “prove myself” to some form of authority was not a dream of mine. I hate authority and when I lost my job as a waitress (months before I made the move to nyc) I knew I could never put myself or my life in the hands of anyone else again. I started visiting New York a lot and meeting new people and it just all seemed like a whole new world to me. I heard stories of people making crazy amounts of money in all kinds of ways which was completely unheard of where I come from. In Texas, success is a having good job. I just wanted more. My move from Texas to New York was one of the hardest things I’d ever done in my life but also the best.. I came up with the idea for me and Jaketa to blog about her move mainly because I feel like I get so many questions on this subject and there are different aspects of the reality of moving cross country that I feel people should be aware of if they’re considering the move. I wanted people to be able to see and understand the struggle as well as the reward that comes from it.
My advice to Jaketa when she planned on making the move:
SET A DATE. Pick a hard date and don’t give up on it. Jaketa told me around the time that I moved to LA (March 2015) that she wanted to move here in October of 2015. And I was like okkkkkk, you better do it. And time went on without us really taking it seriously. Then the day that she called me and was upset about being fired from her job as a teacher (August 2015) I was honestly like WHY do you even HAVE this job when you said you were planning to move in October.
**I learned in the Secret how important it is to make room for the things that you want to attract in yourlife.. Otherwise you aren’t using the law of attraction correctly because you really don’t believe that what you’re attracting is coming. How was Jaketa planning to move to LA but having a job that required her to be in Arkansas until next may? No.**
FIND SOMEWHERE TO LIVE. Finding a place to live will probably be stressful. All I can say is don’t give up. Be open minded. Decide how much you really want this move. I’ve been through so much when it comes to finding a place to stay in New York and LA. I’ve moved SEVEN times in less than two years. I now live in a dope ass loft that over looks the hills/hollywood sign and is in my name, but when I first left Texas I shared a room/bed with my friend Brittany in a 3 bedroom apartment with 4 other people an hour and forty five minutes (by train) outside of New York City (January 2014 - 20 degree weather). I only lived there for like a month or two, but it’s definitely a memorable part of my story lol.
Finding Jaketa a place to live was/is still a struggle. I don’t know what your situation would be like making a move, maybe you would have help. But me and Jaketa both made the move with minimum amounts of money saved, no proof of income (necessary to rent an apartment), and no cosigner (necessary to rent an apartment when you don’t have proof of income). So you can 1. Try to find an apartment that will lease to you anyway 2. Find a room for rent.
Theres a lot that goes into renting an apartment in Los Angeles and a million more things that go into renting an apartment in New York City. Both cities are so competitive that for you to lease an apartment you need to have all your ducks in a row. Most people might see this as a time to turn around and go home. I think there’s an answer for everything, so I’d get on craigslist and look for a room.
I understand sharing a room or even an apartment with a stranger is weird af but I strongly believe in PAYING FOR WHEREVER YOU LIVE. If you’re an adult you should pay for where you stay, even if its $300 a month. I believe starting somewhere small is cool and motivational. You can always move up from where you are. Also renting a room is bomb because most of them don’t require you to sign a lease. Stay there a few months, you’d be surprised what could happen in a few months.
OPEN YOUR MIND. There is absolutely no way that you should feel like you can’t come up with $300-500 in 31 days. There are traditional ways to make money like being a waitress or something, Or you can also consider a small investment. How can you make your money flip? You can’t be afraid of spending money, going through shit, making mistakes, trying new things. What do you feel you should be doing? What can you handle? What are you interested in? What would you like to learn about? How can you make money? What’s the most ideal way for you to make money? What do you absolutely need to be happy? Be open to change. Open to struggle. Open to risks.
LAW OF ATTRACTION. Once my friend was talking to me about what she wanted to do with her life and telling me about her current struggles and she said that she was looking for a job. Looking for a job is cool, I guess. But I don’t think people realize that you’re going to get what you want, what you look for. If you’re looking for a job that’s what you’re going to get. You’re going to go to a retail store, ask to speak to a manager, get the application, schedule an interview, go through training, start working or something like that. See how that’s just a series of events that lead you to experiencing an idea that you had in your head. What if instead of chasing a job you chased a business idea. Look up how you can begin the chain of events that will lead you to experiencing that idea. I strongly believe you’d start to meet people and forming ideas that would lead you to that dream just as you do with a job. There are lots of books on this.
Ok its like 12:30 AM way past my bedtime (im a grandma). Ima just post this and leave you with this question loveeeeeee, Briana
You want to move cross country, what are you so afraid of?
(via brianashanee)
aries: i know that you are special because you have been saved, protected, or made to move in the final fatal second, something benevolent and protective is watching over you, you’ve had too many close calls to write yourself off as lucky or indestructible. a child born with a war inside would also be supplied with an extra set of eyes in heaven and protection from combat. it doesn’t matter how old an aries grows, you can always see that mischievous child looking back at you, and that kind of youthful energy is what allows angelic and spiritual forces to be. you are the person that everyone is secretly cheering for, revelling in your infectious triumphs
