absolutely loved the credit scene of the attack on titan finale. such a profound perspective shift to show yes, you can spend your entire life in pursuit of a singular goal, you can destroy yourself and others for it, shed blood and tears for it, kill and die for it, and time marches forward. Your story, which was everything at the time, is sanded down by the winds of time. and history moves on. you become a blip on the timeline. and what was all that bloodshed for?

Pluto has crossed into Aquarius until June 11th, then moves back in to Capricorn until January 20 then fully steps into Aquarius until March 8th 2043 Pluto is the planet of Life - Death - Rebirth. Destruction to that which no longer serves us. Aquarius rules the higher mind and is the planet of revolution!

Ouroboros
, emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greece represented with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. A gnostic and alchemical symbol, Ouroboros expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation.

Zodiac Signs of Life, Death, Rebirth
Aries- Marks the beginning of spring, is known as the beginning, the spirit, newness, youth, being first. A sign associated with life, the start of life.
Taurus- Metaphorically the body that contains the spirit. Is connected to earth, nature, and creativity. A springtime sign that has connections to the growth and stability of life.
Leo- Associated with creation itself, royalty, the sun, sustaining fire or heat, creativity, is a summer sign when the world is buzzing with life.
Virgo- A sign that is lesser known with their association to life. Virgo is about life in use, metaphorically think of a garden or farm. Also, many astrologers connect Virgo back to goddesses of farming, life, and fertility such as Persephone, Demeter, Ceres, and Artemis.
Capricorn - The only sign I can think of that is associated with just death without the same connection to birth or rebirth. Scorpio may be dark, connected to destruction, and associated with death but also transformation and rebirth. Aquarius is associated with change and destruction but doesn’t have the same connections to life/death as other signs and doesn’t mark complete ends, grief, or melancholy like Capricorn does.
🌊 Signs are connected to both death and birth or rebirth through the element itself and many individual associations. Some quick examples:
Scorpio - An autumn sign marking the veil between life and death, Halloween themes, transformations, willpower.
Cancer- Marks the beginning of summer, nurturing, associated with children, motherhood, fertility, is connected to the ocean and the life and death of it, along with the 🌕
Pisces- Has strong spiritual ties to life and death, marks the flowing and fluidity of the self and life, is a winter sign but shows the flexibility and movement of water and how it can shape life.

The Rot In The Land…
Is it corrupting the people who live there as well?
I was talking to @wingedblooms about her and @offtorivendell and others’ theory that Elain will heal the barren parts of Prythian through her lifesinging powers, or healing powers, or raw magic, or maybe even the magic of the Mother (too many questions about and options for Elain’s magic 😅), including in particular Ramiel.
And it got me thinking about the barren lands we’ve seen in Prythian and Midgard that seem to be leeched of life, almost infected somehow: Illyria, the Court of Nightmares, the Prison, Avallen, the Middle.
In all of those lands that have people living there currently—Illyria, the Court of Nightmares, and Avallen—we see that those societies appear almost corrupted. They’re backwards. The people seem bad. They treat their women poorly and oppress them. There is almost a rot within the culture, within the people themselves. And in those lands that don’t have people living there, monsters live instead, perhaps feeding on the rot and darkness in the land, or at least thriving from it?
Why are all these “backwards” corrupt cultures located around these barren lands? Is the magic or essence that is draining the life from the land and corrupting it also infecting and corrupting the people who live there? Is it draining their goodness from them? Darkening their souls?
Will healing the Land heal the People?
When Bryce revived Avallen, did that remove what was corrupting the people who lived there? Will it cause a change in the Avallen people and culture over time because the infection essentially is gone?
And if Elain heals Ramiel and the Court of Nightmares, will it not only bring spring back to the land as @wingedblooms so brilliantly has predicted and heal the land, but will it also allow free the people and societies who live there of the rot (dark essence) that has the infected and corrupted them for millennia, and allow them to move forward free of this darkness and evil towards goodness and the light?
Will the Illyrians and the Court of Nightmares be able to finally reform themselves and move towards an equal and just and good society once they are freed of this rot that has corrupted them?

Also I actually find Delicious in Dungeon's treatment of resurrection interesting. Reviving a person requires meat and blood, so it's as if following the principle that life derives from life, or rather death, except that it actually requires lots of meat so lots of life.
Something I actually keep thinking about lately is the notion of mystically "dying to yourself" as a way of approaching the very principle of life derives from life, in the sense that the "dying" produces a new existence. Thus is the mystery of descent, and of death and rebirth.
