Christine Jorgensen was an icon brought to my attention in @steven.forrest 's book Yesterday's Sky. She rose to prominence in the 50s as one of the world's first celebrity transgender women, and I can only imagine what guts it took to be her, during a time when LGBTQ+ rights were even more controversial and taboo than now. Anyway, I have a new historical heroine.Because the book was focused on reading her chart and I had no prior knowledge of her, I HAD to look her up. Besides the fact that we've got a nodal similarity: Pluto conjunct North Node, and Venus squaring the moon's nodes (and moving towards the North Node). Another examined profile in the book (also with Venus squaring the nodes) was Carl Jung's. I've read many astrological profiles on Jung, but Forrest's was an enthralling new perspective. It was deeply intriguing to become more familiar with how Venus as unfinished business can manifest, and how Venus energy can be better integrated for those who struggle, in some way, in embracing the things associated with the goddess.It's a struggle for me; femininity and sensitivity (two things I think are well-obvious in my artwork) were things I learned to hide and disown. I hid the art too, BTW. (It was relatively easy to put online. Online was not where my bully/shamer was.) At home, it was safer to disparage femininity and all who embodied it, or else to be seen as lesser and foolish. During this Venus retrograde, it's been a quiet and welcome time of looking back and realising my chosen family and social environment has CHANGED SO MUCH from where I started, that for once, I feel safe enough to approach femininity in ways I might not have before.With north node now in Taurus, I think Venusian stuff is going to become more pressing and prominent. Also, good book.(All this said, my 5th house Mars calls too loudly for me to abandon my "masculine" side entirely. I mean, Steven Forrest kept calling the fifth the house of debauchery. Who am I to resist?)#astrologyismyexcuse #blameitonthebirthchart #misogyny #lgbtq #books #history #astrology #astrologersofinstagram #pastlives #venusretrograde #venus #pluto #evolutionaryastrology

Venus will be out of retrograde motion in 4 days.
Venus will be out of retrograde motion in 4 days. It's been in retrograde since December 19th, and probably been highlighting issues around self-worth, self-care, relationships, and other things that are worth our time and energy investment (mostly depending on which houses in your birth chart are ruled by Venus). It might have felt like an especially heavy retrograde, overlapping Mercury's, and with Pluto in Capricorn "initiating" the retrograde motion.Perhaps because Venus is now on its last Rx degree in Capricorn (the 11th degree), I had the urge to draw cards from 3 decks--first from the Self-Love Oracle; second, Steven D. Farmer's Earth Magic deck (because Venus rules Taurus) featuring cover art by Helena Nelson-Reed; and the Surely Serenity Intuitive Counsel cards (@surelyserenity). (Prior to creating the Self-Love Oracle, I learned to read and combine oracle decks and often did this for people to yield richer and more accurate multi-layered messages. Above all, it's fun!)This is one of those "self-readings", but one specifically with a message for you from this Venus retrograde. I drew cards to create three sets, each set with one card from each deck. Pick one set and scroll through to read.If you enjoyed this and like my style, I'm available for both Tarot/Oracle card readings and astrological readings. Hope the retrogrades are going well for you, and that the Venus lessons are enjoyable ones.#oraclecards #oracledecks #indieoracledeck #indieartist #indiedeck #oraclereading #oraclereadersofinstagram #selflove #selfgrowth #tarotreadersofinstagram #selfloveoracle #selfdevelopment #bodymindspirit #newage #spirituality #venusretrograde #cardoftheday #cardoftheweek #cardofthemonth #singaporetarot #astrology

The sun is in Aquarius! And in this author's rising sign. And I gotta pick on bogeyman astrology. This time of year, Chinese zodiac outlooks are everywhere and, and...Did you know your animal sign is OFFENDING a planet this year? I mean, the nerve of you, you bad bad animal.I've linked this latest blog post in my profile. Swipe through for some excerpts. Warning: some snarkiness. Just a little.#rant #writing #astrology #taisui #astrologersofinstagram #jupiter #humor #spirituality #newage #selfdevelopment #selfgrowth #healing #healingfromhealing #blogging
