    How does everyone feel about Zodiac-inspired music? I've been quite enjoying Xan Griffin's Zodiac series lately, though I've just started listening. :D

    aether replied · Sep 10, 2021

    oOOooh I didn't know about that album! I checked it out and it sounds sick :D

    This collection wasn't inspired by astrology, but Sleeping At Last's 'Atlas: Space' album is inspired by the planets of the solar system, and it's been wild to notice that a lot of the general themes of each song match up with the astrological meanings of the planets without intending to (probs because of the names and physical characteristics/behaviour of the planets alone)
    (SAL also released an astronomy themed album last year which i haven't checked out yet >_>)

    I think Zodiac-inspired music is way fun bc it's always interesting to see what artists do with the ideas of each sign ✨ (a recent mainstream one im thinking of is 'You Right' by Doja Cat + The Weeknd)


    Liminality replied · Sep 11, 2021

    Oh yeah, I def agree. I'll check those out as well! It's so interesting to hear that 'Atlas:Space' matched up the astrological meanings of the planets -- I'll definitely pay close attention to the lyrics on that one.

    me: So what do you do?
    my sister: I work in genetic research, and I'm currently trying to eliminate all Cancers.
    me: Wow, impressive.
    My sister: then I'll move on to Leos
    Me: Ok cool......Wait what did you say???

    Hi astrology appreciators! I kind of wanted to revive this club a little by asking if anyone has questions about astrology that they want answered?

    I planned to breakdown the areas of astrology a while ago in a forum topic I'd made, and I'd love to be able to have time to do that someday, but for now I figured it might be nice to do some bite sized things with astrology if anyone's down for that c:
    (i'm also back on yws in a very lowkey way, and it would be super nice to have an excuse to interact with u all again.. lowkey, lowkey)

    I def wouldn't classify myself as a professional astrologer, but I've done quite a bit of research on it overtime and grew up learning about astrology, so it's a fun subject I like talking about and sharing with others who are interested if i can. I'll try to answer any question I can, but there also might be others in this club who can answer questions who are welcome to!! So yeah, astrology things, fam ~

    Liminality replied · Aug 17, 2021

    Hmm . . . What about the role of the planets (the ones listed in star charts I think? like Neptune, Saturn, etc.)? Might be a very large vague question haha but that's all I got at the moment ^^'


    aether replied · Aug 17, 2021

    Haha hey Lim!! c: That's a great question you got yoself there, and definitely not too vague~! And you're right that the planets are found in birth charts (as one of the main parts of astrology).

    Just to give an overview of birth charts for anyone in this club ~ everyone has a birth chart (there are lots of free sites online that calculate your birth chart, like this one), and this chart is essentially a 'snapshot' of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. The western astrological idea behind a birth chart is that the positions of the planets at this time and place act as a 'map' or reflection of the person who was born. I wouldn't say that the planets 'influence' a person, because that implies physics being involved. I prefer to see the physical planets at this time as more of a celestial clock face that is 'telling' you about the person, but isn't the cause of their qualities, per se, which is a view that many astrologers hold ~ (as for what is actually the cause remains a mystery~~ owo)

    The planets of a birth chart take on the symbolic meanings often attributed to them, including the Roman gods/goddesses many of them were named after. The planet Mars, for example, is named after the Roman god of war, courage, fighting spirit, desire etc. - so these qualities are reflected in the role of Mars in a birth chart by symbolising our willpower and how we go after what we desire. So pretty much the role of the planets in a birth chart is to symbolise the different parts of a person's identity, while the zodiac signs (Aries, Taurus etc.) describe the qualities of the individual person in that part of their identity.

    Here's a lil list of the astrology planets and their general meanings from the top of my head c: c:

    Spoiler
    [Note: the Sun and Moon are called planets in astrology (likely for the sake of convenience), even though they technically are not that]

    Ascendant/Rising - not actually a physical planet; symbolises personal appearance and first impressions
    Sun - your self-expression and individual identity
    Moon - your inner world and emotions; what gives you a sense of security; how you react to outside influences
    Mercury - your intellect, interests, and way of communicating!
    Venus - how you give and receive love, affection, beauty, happiness, appreciation, principles
    Mars - how you get what you want and overcome obstacles; how you assert yourself; your willpower, sex drive, desires, energy
    Jupiter - your area of expansion; your faith, beliefs, ethics, ideology
    Saturn - your area of limitation; where you are restricted and challenged; what you take seriously
    Uranus - your area of change and disruption; where you are unpredictable, original, and experience changes
    Neptune - your area of intangible perception; your imagination, spirituality, subconscious, psychic intuition
    Pluto - your area of intensity and transformation, obsession, depth, truth, power

    There are also other symbols that act like planets in a chart but aren't real planetary bodies (such as your Nodes and Chiron among others)


    I hope this answered your question on planet roles~


    Liminality replied · Aug 17, 2021

    Ooh thanks so much @AvantCoffee! <3 That's really helpful! I hadn't known that the meanings correspond with the Roman gods and goddesses :O


    aether replied · Aug 17, 2021

    I know right!? :O <3 My love for Greek/Roman mythology paid off by overlapping with my love for both introspection and astronomy :’’))) (an unlikely yet fantastic combination, 11/10)

    And you’re super welcome @Liminality! <3 Glad I could help explain the astrology planets :)

    Fun fact~ each zodiac sign is ‘ruled’ by one (or two) of the planets, which basically means that the planet essence is filtered through the sign and gives the sign its traits. So, in your case of being a Capricorn, your sun sign’s ruling planet is Saturn ✨ (general vibe being limitations & challenges xD), which gives Capricorn and those with the sign traits of being responsible, hard-working, realistic, ambitious, self-controlled, capable - and overall indicates that these people are soberly aware of limitations, be it their own or in their surroundings, and that they have both the ability and want to overcome life challenges and achieve goals and success in their life c:

    dang this reply is getting just as long as the last one lmao
    I could ramble about astrology related things forever but i will stop and spare u :') thanks for your curiosity, Lim!~


    Liminality replied · Aug 18, 2021

    Ahh no worries about long replies! I think it's so cool that you know astrology so well you can just rattle it off the top of your head <3 It's a really neat skill! I enjoyed reading your fun fact about the 'ruling' planets as well! :D


  • aether replied · Jul 30, 2021

    Yay! This is such a late reply lol, but way to go for finding out your rising sign! :)

    aether replied · Jun 6, 2019

    I saw that when it came out! It do be a fun vid lol


  • aether replied · Jun 6, 2019

    Spoiler
    AAA I had to restrain myself from just typing 'SO THATS WHY I LIKE YOU' when you posted this haha (even though I don't ultimately judge others on their star sign d:) But I usually have an affinity with water signs, and my sister also has a Pisces Moon and we're really close. She has really hectic dreams, which is supposedly a Pisces Moon thing owo


    Raindeer replied · Jun 6, 2019

    Spoiler
    Aww!!! I’m not a total believer but also, like, some traits weirdly line up with me and I definitely resonate the most with both Cancer and Pisces (I need to figure out my rising sign lol). I’ve never heard about that hectic dreams thing but I would say I have some weird dreams o.O


    aether replied · Jun 6, 2019

    Spoiler
    Yeah, it's totally valid to not be fully into astrology - tho I get you with traits aligning really well like that!! And I wish you luck in finding your rising ~ that can be super fun to discover c:

    And that's wild about your dreams o.O Pisces Moons are said to be really imaginative and good at fantasising, so vivid and weird dreams are a thing like that lol

    Welcome to the most mystical and majestical club you've ever seen. After reading LakeOfCancer's comment in this thread I decided to make a club for astrology, mostly so YWSers can meet others who are open to the subject! c:

    Spoiler
    Tagging those who liked the thread linked above: @LakeOfCancer @TinkerTwaggy @neptune @fraey @EternalRain @manilla (sorry for the tag if you're not that interested asdf)

    Does anyone know of anyone else who might be interested in this club? >:3

    neptune replied · Feb 16, 2019

    For some reason I didn’t get a notif for this tag! :O This club looks like a neat idea. Also @TheBlueCat might like it? I know she’s into space, so maybe astrology? :)


    aether replied · Feb 16, 2019

    Oh really? Hmmm... that's odd. Maybe @niteowl or @PrincessInk might be curious about this as well idk


    TheBlueCat replied · Feb 16, 2019

    Astrology is not really my jam, but thanks for thinking of me! <3 Best of luck with this :)


    aether replied · Feb 17, 2019

    All good ;3


    aether replied · Feb 19, 2019

    So I'm pretty certain none of my previous tags worked, therefore I'm going to be annoying and tag people again. @LakeOfCancer @TinkerTwaggy @fraey @EternalRain @manilla
    plus @AstralHunter and @paperforest


    Raindeer replied · Feb 19, 2019

    I know @Charm (at least used to be) interested in astrology. :D


    Charm replied · Feb 20, 2019

    I'm super into astrology! I know a lot about the signs and quite a bit about natal charts. I'm a taurus sun, leo moon, aries venus, and cancer ascendant! I think I'm an aries in mercury as well but I'm not too sure.
