Electric Love
George Weasley x reader
Tumblr media
George Weasley was someone who could light up a room with his infectious energy and sense of humor. From the moment you met him at Hogwarts, you were captivated by his vibrant personality and carefree spirit. He was always up for a good time, and his natural charisma drew people to him like a magnet.
Despite his outgoing nature, George had a kind heart and a genuine concern for those around him. He was quick to make friends and even quicker to make them laugh. As you got to know him better, you found yourself drawn to his lively personality and the way he made you feel.
At first, your relationship with George was purely platonic. You enjoyed spending time with him, and the two of you had a lot in common. But as you spent more time together, you began to see him in a new light. You noticed the way his eyes crinkled when he laughed, the way his smile lit up his face, and the way he made you feel like the most important person in the room.
As your feelings for him deepened, you began to wonder if he felt the same way. You started to look for signs that he might feel the same way, but nothing was ever clear. It wasn't until a chance encounter one day that George finally revealed his true feelings, and you were overjoyed to find out that he felt the same way.
The moment George confessed his feelings for you, everything changed. The dynamic between the two of you shifted from friendly to romantic, and it was like a spark had been ignited. You began dating, and it felt like a whirlwind romance that you never wanted to end.
Being with George was an experience like no other. His presence filled you with a sense of excitement and energy that you had never felt before. Every time he walked into the room, it was like the air was charged with electricity. You were constantly on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what he would do or say next.
You loved the way George made you feel alive, and he was always pushing you to try new things and take risks. With him by your side, you felt like you could conquer the world. His humor and light-heartedness were infectious, and you found yourself laughing more than ever before.
As your relationship progressed, you began to discover new layers to George's personality. You found out that he was incredibly caring and compassionate, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He had a way of making you feel like the most important person in the world, and you cherished every moment you spent with him.
For you, being with George was like being caught in a whirlwind of passion and excitement. You never knew what each day would bring, but you were eager to find out. Every moment you spent together felt like pure magic, and you knew that you had found something special in each other. Your love for George was electric, and you felt like the luckiest person in the world to have him by your side.
One night, you and George collapsed into bed, exhausted but content. As you lay there, wrapped up in each other's arms, you felt a sense of peace and happiness wash over you.
Just as you were starting to drift off to sleep, George looked deep into your eyes, and the intensity of his gaze made your heart skip a beat. He whispered those three little words that you had been dying to hear: "I love you."
It was like the whole world stopped for a moment as you realized just how much you loved him too. You looked into his eyes, and you could see the depth of his feelings for you reflected back. You knew in that moment that he was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with.
Tears welled up in your eyes as you whispered back, "I love you too, George." You wrapped your arms around him tighter, feeling like you never wanted to let go. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated love, and you knew that it was something you would never forget.
From that moment on, your love only grew stronger. You spent all your time together, exploring the world around you and creating memories that would last a lifetime. And no matter where life took you, you knew that your love would always be there, shining bright like an electric spark.

Nakshatra Appreciation (3/?)
Tumblr media
In this part, let's address उत्तराषाढ़ा, “the later invincible one,” which indicates resilience, power, and good fortune. Symbol is the elephant's ivory tusk, reflecting Lord Ganesha's blessings.
Called the "universal star", Uttara Ashadha represents deep humanitarian concern and their true victory depends upon a righteous cause that is beneficial to all.
Blessed with an affluence in life, they can show a dogged persistence to succeed with any task they encounter. This nakshatra's presiding deity is none other than Vishwadevas, the universal god of ten directions, often addressed as “light-workers”, who open our minds to new perspectives and clarity.
Falling under 26°40'' Sagittarius -10°00'' Capricorn (Dhanu and Maraka rashi respectively), gives it dual rulership under both Jupiter and Saturn. While the vimshottari lord remains thr glorious Sun, bestowing the native with a winning spirit and independant tendencies of living. Speaking of planetary rulership...
The Solar energy is expressed differently in both signs. With the Jovial influence, a native is more likely to be sociable and friendly, gaining more success with inner benefience. A rather virtuous and 'blessed' energy is presented here. Whereas Saturnian influence really does bring about lonewolf tendencies, the actual test of fortitude is brought out with this. Since both planets are at odds, conflict with authority is bound to be seen among the natives.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now the Gana is Manushya, 'Human-like', as in specifically possessing both qualities of good (Godly) and bad (Demonic). The prime traits are discipline and kind-heartedness yet also capable of breaking the rules, or becoming a ruthless tyrant.
The primary nature is Sthira (fixed or permanent) which emphasizes for them towards permance, stability and structure. Also favourable for farming and agriculture, and of course promotions and signing contracts.
Tumblr media
They possess, Apradhṛṣya shakti, the power to attain permanent victory albeit at a later stage and after much effort or struggle. However, the fruits of that hard work are rich and promise prosperity.
I'd like to add here just a (general) observation or prediction you may call it but when either Venus or the 7th Lord are sitting in this nakshatra, the spouse or longterm partner could be of a fairly dominating type or just plain independant. Dignified in society and would want to keep their head held high even under extreme duress. Also noticeably fond of gold. Regardless, any marriage before 33 may cause inconvenience of some sort.
Tumblr media
The animal yoni is the mongoose, which actually renders this lunar mansion the sole of it's type to be without a yoni consort. While it's short and sleek, the fierce predator within makes them a vicious enemy of the snake/viper family and partially immune to their venom. Due to their bold temperament, mongoose, who live mostly on open fields, are considered a threat to bird life as well. Fascinating to note that the larger types tend to be more lone than the dwarves who huddle together in order to take down their prey when necessary.
1. Shadow Side (Affliction): constantly active or extremely lazy, apathy, meloncholy, stubborn, self-centeredness, loss in early life, impatient, dismissive of romantic commitment or rather incompatibility in early marital life. 2. Auspicious Moon qualities: virtuous, intelligent, charitable, graceful, refined, charming, capable leaders, relentless, pure-hearted, well-liked, honest, resillient. 3. Recommended Career: military, boxing, any form of combat sports, activists, manager, hunters, government employed, social work, writing/novelists.

Sagittarius Sun and Moon Combinations
Planets represent different energetic principals in the life of an individual – the signs show how these energies express themselves.
Having an inner planet (or luminary) in the sign of Sagittarius gives the personality enthusiasm, an expansive quality. No matter what other placements the person has, the energy and spirited nature is going to come through.
To simplify;
The Sun represents individuation, ideal self-expression and conscious self-expression.
The Moon represents instinct, emotional nature and personal needs.
Sagittarius Sun – Gemini Moon
This person has a difficult time keeping the enthusiasm in check. Once the ball is set rolling, it doesn’t move in a straight line, it bounces off the walls until it accidentally hits a target. The overall personality is set on being honest, but in the jungle of information one could get confused about what one’s thoughts actually are. They change so fast and move from this to that – it might feel like there’s no truth except the constant search for truth. The person would crave stimulation and be allergic to boredom. The personality would be unsuited to work that requires stamina and determination – there’s too much scattered energy living inside this individual to mobilize towards a concrete goal. The excitement of living is more important than anything that can be accomplished  – to inspire, charm and have fun is what this person lives for. When potentials aren’t actualized or when the person is forced to follow a strict path it will be difficult to find any joy. But, even in the midst of restriction, there’s a light-heartedness and a willingness to provide a spark of inspiration. The person is full of ideas and pride, anything could be an adventure if one is allowed to exercise one’s creative mind and bring some life to existence. On the down side, this person would feel disinclined to define themselves in any way. To remain in a state of potential is much preferred to concretize a stance, a need or a desire. Everything depends on the moment, what arises and what is called for with this combo. The constant state of flexibility could benefit the person but be detrimental at the same time. The effort and dedication it takes to wait for something to actualize itself through a longer process doesn’t necessarily appeal to a person with these placements. On one level, it’s as if this person isn’t registering the pressures of life, but is sublimating them, dealing with them as mental concepts rather than being squarely in the experience of them. Keeping things moving and avoiding soaking in experiences could lead to feelings of meaninglessness and futility, despite the original proclivity to be optimistic. This is a healthy state, presumably, which gives the mutable personality some depth instead of mere superficial excitement. When the person matures, there’s recognition of value in the journey, and value in information. Not to mention the recognition of power in knowledge.
Sagittarius Sun – Pisces Moon
There’s a lot of optimism and sensitivity to this combo. While the Sagittarius personality might be able to brush things off and put themselves above any petty criticism of their character, the Piscean need is to be loved by everyone. Life is not worth living if there’s not a genuine belief in love, and depending on what circumstances the person find themselves in, the dream of bliss might get crushed or kept intact. Even though the process of individuation for this kind of person is to gain confidence, a spirit of enthusiasm and trust, the person is originally prone to want to retreat into a state of non-separateness. There’s a tendency to idealize people and places, to live with a kind of bitter-sweet outlook on life. While the person would strive to always have things be exciting and to explore things outside of the comfort zone, there would be great emotional sensitivity to stimuli which could hold them back. The person would perhaps more often than not end up exploring their interests and fascinations in private – exploring the inner world of dreams and images could be very satisfying. Since Sagittarius and Pisces are universal signs, there might be an enhanced capacity to intuitively know things, to intuitively grasp complex themes and patterns within and without. Both signs hold broad and inclusive perspectives and seeks to make sense of the totality of reality through meaning and purpose. The limited and the personal is not this person’s primary concern. The essence of life is sought on a general level. There’s an awareness of the unseen, a great love affair with God and an acceptance to be led through existence back to one’s source. Although the person might go through episodes of sadness and world-weariness, the Sagittarian identity that is unfolding throughout life is designed to have faith, to inspire, to convey wisdom and adopt a more or less carefree attitude - never loosing sight of the big picture. The Piscean tendency to be thoughtful and introspective adds a nice touch of depth to the personality, and a remarkable ability to feel what is taking place emotionally on a collective level. The person lives in connection with humanity and the world more than others, always picking up on trends of the times.
Sagittarius Sun – Virgo Moon
There’s a concentration and an attention to detail in the quest for knowledge. The zest for life is paired with practical reason – there’s an awareness that extraordinary life experiences won’t just fall in one’s lap, they are put together piece be piece. The tendency is to plan, to organize and process everything, which could put a damp cloth over the desire to be care-free. Anxiety over whether everything is going to work out is conflicting with the trust that the person strives to develop. Sagittarius Suns are supposed to take on a broad vision, a perspective that allows for mishaps and bumps in the road because one knows that it’s all part of divine plan. The Virgo Moon effectively counteracts this by being aware of things that could go wrong from a more earth-based perspective. To ride a bike without a helmet could end up in a disaster or eating too many sweets could make the person hyper-active. The Virgo temperament is not designed to overlook these little things, which could make the person frustrated because the Sagittarian spirit doesn’t want to be limited by petty things. The advantage, however, is that the clumsiness and boldness of the person is toned down by a careful and hyper-aware disposition that could serve to keep them out of trouble. The friction that is created between a rational and physically anchored perspective and a adventurous and freedom-loving one can produce an interesting dynamic. There’s a push and pull between self-actualization and basic personal attributes. The need to have established routines that guarantee optimal health and efficiency has to exist alongside the process of finding oneself, the process of actualizing as an individual. As long as there’s mere focus on ritual and everyday normality, there’s nothing that sparks the self-expression. Once there’s room for excitement and pursuing an intuitive path, the Virgo attributes can come in handy putting all the knowledge into practice and not loosing sight of the importance of specifics. Both signs are mutable, so adaptability is a great strength, although stubbornness and skepticism might kick in every so often. One should take care as to not let the belief in one’s intellectual capacity cause ego-inflation. Knowledge should be used for good of all, not to enhance one’s own sense of superiority.
Sagittarius Sun – Sagittarius Moon
With the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius nothing stands in the way of pure enjoyment of life. Independence, freedom, travel, exploration, adventure – life is calling them to set out on a quest for truth, a journey of the spirit. This person would not want to settle and would prefer to keep up the speed, even in old age. There’s a tendency to live as if one has already reserved a place in heaven, free of sin, free of guilt. There’s nothing to impede or hinder this person because life itself is what is treasured, not the particular form or circumstance. On the down side, this attitude could exclude the awareness of denser emotional states, making the person prone to gloss over negativity by viewing it as a betrayal of the eternal spirit. There’s validity to the experience of limitation and lack – the denial of these is to avoid going deeper and cope by flying up into the realm of belief in eternal life. Although this person would generally be open to a multitude of perspectives, there would be a strong sense of the correctness of personal opinion. The need to preach one’s stance with force could upset a few people. There’s a censoring that could happen which would seem selfish and narrow-minded. Not to mention that there can be a scatteredness to the person’s thinking that could make their message seem insubstantial and backed by confidence rather that convincing arguments. The task is to adjust and evolve into the more refined traits of Sagittarius, to cultivate compassion and understanding for people, to uplift and inspire through genuine love of life rather than going down a path of reckless and irresponsibility. It’s good to have confidence but it should not be acquired through rubbing one’s competence in other people’s faces and bragging unnecessarily about one’s broad knowledge and insight. One should watch out for the risk of viewing oneself as superior, bossiness can hardly be labeled a virtue – it’s childish and immature. The person might not be suited to lead because of their strong ambivalent and independent streak, but I could see this combo being a great side-kick, a resource of great value that would have to be kept on ”long leash” in order to be willing to work under someone else. The person would definitely need variety and freedom to act on impulses.
Sagittarius Sun – Libra Moon
The bold and fearless self-expression is slightly modified by the need to enhance the self through entering relationships. The person naturally gravitates toward self-flattery disguised as humility. The effort to be charming, sociable and well-liked is on autopilot while the more bold and uninhibited individuality needs to be developed and expressed consciously. The person cares about how other people perceive them, for better and for worse. To develop the Sagittarian traits one might need to live from an outlook of a more general and universal standpoint, viewing social interaction as an experience on the road to truth rather than an end in and of itself. The person might benefit from taking risks by speaking their mind when it isn’t socially advantageous, to push the limits of what is socially appropriate. It might not be comfortable, but it could be worth it in order to live more from a place of freedom than restriction. The Libra Moon needs to navigate carefully as to ensure optimal social and relational esteem. Personal safety and satisfaction depends on having other people to bounce their ideas off of. There’s difficulty in merely setting out on one’s own and trusting one’s gut – everything is done within the framework of a social context. Libra is very aware of the fact that one doesn’t exist as an island unto oneself, there’s other people that contribute to form one’s own life. Being with the right people at the right place and the right time makes all the difference to who one is. There’s some validity to this perspective but it’s also very limited and superficial. By developing one’s Sagittarian expression it’s possible to transcend the personal and the social and see others as fellow travelers of the world – equally independent and valuable despite all the differences. The Libra Moon is covertly competitive, giving off the impression that they’re merely out to make everyone else feel respected and seen. In fact, to be pleasant is their agenda, to ”win” at the social game. The Sagittarius Sun however, makes the person prone to be a little arrogant and blunt which could taint the perfect impression one is trying to preserve. Speaking first and thinking later could put this person in a tight spot of quickly trying to patch things up by doing the socially appropriate thing of apologizing or compensating for the slip-ups.
Sagittarius Sun – Cancer Moon
The optimistic and casual attributes of the ideal self becomes difficult to accommodate for in the midst of mood-swings, strong emotional attachments and apprehensiveness about the ”world out there”. The natural way of coping with life is through putting up strong defenses against threat. There’s great sensitivity and need of mothering, which the person seeks to provide for themselves – either through partnership, a family or perhaps a close circle of friends. The ability to care and support others through their ups and downs in life could earn them a positive reputation of being considerate and trust-worthy. However, the Sagittarian potential calls the person to develop qualities of openness, curiosity, fearlessness and trust. A spirit of adventure is worth cultivating while having a safe base to return to when the world starts to seem too harsh and inconsiderate. Sagittarius Suns are not very keen on admitting to vulnerability and weakness, but this combo requires these states to be factored in. To live as if there’s no tomorrow and as if one is immortal and exempt from frailty is not possible to get away with. Feelings should not be viewed as an inconvenience, they should be valued for the experience they provide. There’s no use glossing-over personal and primal needs - they exist in their own right. I can picture this person as a parent, capable of being soft and gentle with the children yet ready to play and take them out on little adventures when the mood hits. It’s after all not only important to provide shelter and protection but to instill an confidence that allows one to test limits and attempting to fulfill innate potential. There’s an element of trust that needs to be cultivated in order to venture outside of the safe zone, a trust in life to be helpful rather than destructive. These signs complement each other because they respresent different dynamics, on the Cancer end there’s awareness of threats to survival and a feelings of vulnerability, on the Sagittarius end there’s the pursuit of knowledge and freedom of the spirit. Cancer is primordial while Sagittarius is universal. Literary and philosophical knowledge might not make the person feel safe, but it will be how the person expresses their individuality.
Sagittarius Sun – Capricorn Moon
If this isn’t the embodiment of the dutiful pursuer of truth I don’t know what it is. There’s a need to achieve something of substance, of greatness. The feeling of abundance is not there from the get go, so the person has to summon their resources and use them wisely as to get ahead. The person is very controlled and conscious of how they present themselves, strategically trying to get everything right as to reach their long term goal. On the downside, there’s a lot of internal pressure and inhibitions of spontaneity which would take a toll on them eventually. The path ahead is to develop the Sagittarian worldview of expansion and freedom rather than discipline and scarcity. Being spontaneous and enthusiastic about things is how the person will self-actualize. However, since the need is to stay within convention, there’s a bit of a conflict present. Ideally, the person would combine the need to achieve worldly success and the pull to live a life free of responsibilities and commitments in honor of the eternal spirit. If the person decides to follow the beaten path of prestige and societal approval, there might be an inner urge to break free from all restrictions and limitations. It might be wise to try and combine the desire to move and explore with a sense of responsibility – to seek to accomplish something ”worthwhile” according to convention while being bold and passionate about it. The inner compulsion to always aim high could pay off, or it could make the person stressed and unproductive. The Sagittarian Sun indicates that there should be an attempt of freeing energy, of overcoming the burden of judgement, of rooting for life rather than mechanical and dead materia. The Sagittarian philosophy is that life is supposed to be lived, not boxed in and deemed as unworthy because of superficial lack. All life is worthy, and there need not be any punishment that is implied by the apparent boundaries of structure. The person could have a hard time accepting a more liberal world-view for themselves that doesn’t define right and wrong so clearly. The Cap Moon is more or less tied to playing within the confines of structure, but with the Sagittarius Sun there’s the potential for introducing variety, a broader perspective and a more optimistic attitude. The structures aren’t set in place to enslave the human spirit, they should work for the expansion of all.

Sagittarius Sun – Aries Moon
The warrior that strives to gain wisdom. The inborn personal attributes are that of force, competition and impulsiveness. The task is to mobilize these in order to actualize an identity of curiosity, independence and trust in a benevolent universe. The person might be quite aggressive in the pursuit of answers to the big questions in life, seeking challenge and confrontation with life as to test one’s capacity to prevail and conquer. There’s a lot of energy to this combo – and a lot of emphasis on independence. The person would first and foremost stand up for themselves and leave others to do the same. There’s little tolerance for dependence as quality in others and in oneself. Strength is always emphasized – this person has nothing to gain from acting meek and vulnerable. Anger and frustration is the most common response to things that stand in the way – whether it’s an opinion another person holds or of it’s a literal lack of support – confrontation is the immediate reaction. Even if the person is quick to aggression, it’s usually easily diffused and forgotten. These fire signs live in the moment and are not prone to hold grudges. That being said – they won’t back down and is set on furthering themselves in all that their doing – especially if they’re continually opposed. The Sagittarius Sun indicates that the person is supposed to seek knowledge and broaden their perspective through exposing themselves to variety of culture and thought-systems. Identity is found through sharing and consuming knowledge, through breathing life back into a world of stagnation. The Aries Moon jumps on every opportunity to excel and to be the best, providing a fighting spirit to the more casually bold Sagittarian Sun. The person would be prone to provoke people unnecessarily, always wanting to compete and lead the way. However, the expression of the fire signs is usually so direct and uncalculated that it comes off as pure, even though it’s fundamentally self-centered, At least, it is honest and relatively uncomplicated. The Aries directness further enhances the Sagittarian tendency to speak the truth no matter the cost. Not to mention, the Sagittarian proclivity to be scattered and all over the place is counteracted a bit by the simple and straight-forward Arien nature.
Sagittarius Sun – Aquarius Moon
This combo represents the peak of objective perspective. The person is emotionally separated from the irrational, moody and earthy human condition. One lives for potential and that which can be found beyond the horizon. There’s likely to be a restlessness and annoyance with the current society and other people’s limited perspective. Ordinary and mundane is so ”yesterday”, it’s a pity that one can’t be rid of the current unevolved existence and jump to the future without having to go through a long and process of unnecessary in-between states. The person is likely to be the type to hang out in the thought-scape rather than on the earth-plane. There’s a tendency to get bored very quickly and be a bit uninterested in idle conversation and interaction with other people who are light years behind in the progression of thought. The path for this person is to cultivate passion and inspired involvement in worldly knowledge – to read and educate oneself in order to get a more well-rounded picture of what it means to be alive. Sagittarius is all about spreading truth and connection to essence, while Aquarius is more about the fixed thought-based blueprint that dictates form. There’s a coolness to this person that is their fundamental nature – it’s not rooted in being but rather in becoming. Sagittarius is not cool but vibrant and alive, ready to interact with the variety of expressions of the universal spirit. The person’s task is to become through being, to find the face of self in all fleeting experiences and appreciate them as they come and go. There’s value in the brokenness, there’s beauty in the imperfect. The Aquarius Moon might have a hard time viewing life in this way, having to label and categorize and put things into context. It’s worth to consciously develop the capacity to perceive meaning in experiences, to connect to the intelligent source of life that is not found through perfection but underlying everything. There’s more to life than hacking the blueprint and getting things to work better, look better or feel better. There’s mysterious inner wisdom that is untamed and unbound, intelligently guiding one’s steps on the path of higher truth. To put in a word of caution, it might be tempting to view oneself as more important or superior than people with more primordial natures and simple minds. It’s true that people are different, but everyone plays a part in life however big or small.
Sagittarius Sun – Scorpio Moon
This is a freedom-lover, an explorer and an emotionally volatile individual. There’s a need to test, to push, to provoke while keeping all the vulnerable parts of oneself tucked away where they can’t be reached. The fundamental nature of this person is extremely sensitive to violation and feels things strongly. There’s an inner fear of being controlled or deceived to the point of paranoia. This is not to suggest that the Scorpio Moon radar is faulty and sees threat where there is none, it’s just that they can’t allow themselves to put their guard down. Ever. Through developing a Sagittarian individuality, there’s likely to be an increase in playfulness and chill, but at the core there’s always going to be suspicion. The person would want to promote the truth as a part of their individuality, to inspire and lift people’s spirits. However, the personal need for secrecy and privacy would present a contradiction. There’s an impulse to live out a destructive nature, to revel in powerful emotions and let people know that they shouldn’t be messed with. While the Sagittarian tendency is to view experiences from a ”higher perspective” of belief and philosophy, the Scorpio seeks to penetrate or be penetrated energetically. There are three choices in the book of Scorpio; being attacked, attack or hide. Although Sagittarius is bold and willing to take risks because there’s an attitude of optimism in everything they do, a proclivity to say things as they are and be honest, the person will not share things that can be used against them (if they can help it). The strength of these signs are very different, but they could potentially work together relatively successfully. The emphasis could be to make people aware of the power-holds and dishonesty that takes place underneath the surface layers of society and reality, to uncover and reveal things about others or oneself that grabs people’s attention and makes a statement. Transformation and truth is what this person is ultimately after and it could be pursued in all kinds of ways. It would be important to remember to keep the Scorpio paranoia in check and to be a little careful of boasting and inflating one’s ego unnecessarily. One has to show respect in order for other people to be willing to be respectful in turn. That being said, it is appropriate to call people out on their bullshit from time to time.
Sagittarius Sun - Taurus Moon
The path of self-actualization is to expose oneself to a variety of experiences while the personal need is to provide oneself with things of material value. The need to possess and have things be tangibly present in order to feel good doesn’t really go together with the realm of spirit. The Sagittarius Sun perceives the world in terms of higher truth – and it’s not an ultimate truth that a house provides stability. Yet, the person would need the material representation of safety and could not deny the importance of the physical realm. The development of the Sagittarian identity would take the person into the realm of abstraction rather than tangible perception. Life opens up and is more than  what needs to be done on a routine basis. The earthy and stubborn temperament would be balanced out by the desire to introduce new impressions and new experiences. The need for a solid ”living and working” situation would prevail, but the person would ultimately aim higher than that in terms of individuation. Some Sagittarius Suns would be content with exploring their interests in private, to explore fascinating topics that adds to their own life while other would have to venture out into the physical world – to smell, see and touch different countries, to be in the sensory experience of it all. Taurus is a very physical sign and would likely appreciate the concreteness of experiencing something in the flesh rather than as an abstraction. The ability to picture things vividly in the thought scape sometimes doesn’t come as easily to more earthy temperaments. This could make it difficult to get excited about something without actually being in the actual excitement. However, the Sagittarian Sun has the potential to provide a great intuitive and creative capacity. This combo could be indicative of a person that is keen on securing a predictable future and predictable present while not taking it all too seriously. Whatever happens, it’s fine. Life goes on and one can trust that things are going to work out – not that it’s going to fix itself but that one has the stubbornness and stamina to see things through. It also gives the person a willingness to not only be concerned with the material aspect of life, but to see meaning in experiences as they unfold and present themselves.
Sagittarius Sun – Leo Moon
Honoring oneself through living out inherent greatness is of utmost importance. The person needs to know that they are whole and magnificent without having to explore and expand through the experience of variety and diversity – however, they could use their knowledge and insight to enhance their authority. The person would feel as if they were blessed from birth with a specialness and a right to be admired and loved. The need to occupy space and claim a place of importance is pressing for this individual. Speaking their opinion, retelling stories and dwelling on the subject of one’s involvement in significant events would be typical. I make it sound as if it’s done in order to compensate for a sense of inferiority, and it could be, but often Leo Moons have a genuine air about them that is magical and captivating. The person would be inclined to dramatize their life, to demonstrate their radiance through everything they do. With a Sagittarius Sun, it would optimally be done through travel and the experience of culture, religion and ancient wisdom. Everything has to be profound and glorious with this person – grace and charm is what they embody without trying. What the person needs to develop throughout life is more of a casual nature, a broader perspective and a recognition of people’s sameness. Leo’s tendency is to enhance personhood and not be overly concerned with the universal spirit – the universal self. Sagittarius knows that the same life that is oneself is also found in the rest of the existence. By developing the Sagittarian identity, the person doesn’t have to tone themselves down and live as if their separate self wasn’t worth promoting. The person could sustain a sense of specialness and still acknowledge other people’s beauty and rightful participation in life. It would be wise to keep in mind that there’s a big risk to always assume that one is right. Although Sagittarius provide a sense of openness and willingness to adapt and blend in with the spirit of the location, Leo needs to claim and dominate the environment they’re in, the conversation they’re in. This doesn’t necessarily go over well if it’s done with arrogance– other’s would easily feel diminished and disrespected. However, if the person is more mature, this need to shine could be felt as a genuine, benevolent presence that makes other people comfortable.

This took an hour to do...

Unfortunately my other more in-depth cards use a different arcana, so the only characters I can give extra context to is Papyrus and Crooks because they’re the only characters whose cards show up in both decks. However I like them enough to include them.
Papyrus - the fool The Fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, he trusts you; and you decieve him again, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.Be a fool in the Taoist sense. In the Zen sense. Don't create a wall of knowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so you remain in the present, here-now, as if just born, just a babe. In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking advantage of you... let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated and deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is yours cannot be robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you. And each time you don't allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will become an integration inside.
Crooks - Strength The seed cannot know what is going to happen, the seed has never known the flower. And the seed cannot even believe that he has the potentiality to become a beautiful flower. Long is the journey, and it is always safer not to go on that journey because unknown is the path, nothing is guaranteed. Nothing can be guaranteed. Thousand and one are the hazards of the journey, many are the pitfalls – and the seed is secure, hidden inside a hard core. But the seed tries, it makes an effort; it drops the hard shell which is its security, it starts moving. Immediately the fight starts; the struggle with the soil, with the stones, with the rocks. And the seed was very hard and the sprout will be very, very soft and the dangers will be many.There was no danger for the seed, the seed could have survived for millennia, but for the sprout mane are the dangers. But the sprout starts towards the sun, towards the source of light, not knowing where, not knowing why. Great is the cross to be carried, but the dream possesses the seed and the seed moves.

Dear Mom
Do you remember that one winter afternoon when I was about 8 and we were decorating the living room for Christmas? You probably don’t remember anymore. There is a lot that you can’t remember about your past life before the stroke. And there is a lot that I have forgotten too. But I don’t think I could ever forget this one day. You had the surround sound speakers on blasting out Christmas music and we were taking the decorations out of their boxes. The song Les Cloches du Hameau came on the speaker and I remember you reached out for my hand and we started dancing in the middle of the living room floor to the song. I didn’t know any of the lyrics or what Celine Dion was saying, but the tone was one of light-heartedness and we were able to create a moment of pure carefree as you twirled me around the room. I remember Kent came and joined in too and we became a union of people letting go and dancing to the feelings of love and liveliness. I truly felt as if nothing could go wrong in that moment. We were a family creating happy memories and I was naïve and innocent to the reality of life that day. When I think about you, that is the memory that my brain goes to first. It is one of my most cherished memories and I would do anything to be able to go back to that winter afternoon where everything felt alright and safe with my hand in yours. I wish I could see you being you again. To witness you be that happy, and so full of life. I wish I could have one more dance around the living room with you.
I also remember the day when we were driving home together after a day spent shopping. You put in your Abba cd and started singing along to it. I remember thinking that I was too old to be jamming out to songs with my mom in the car but Abba and your energy were too contagious and we spent 20 minutes pretending to be as good as Abba. I remember just how fun it was to belt out Dancing Queen and wishing that our house was further away so that the moment would last forever. I don’t remember the last time I heard you sing.
I remember the day when we were in the car together while on vacation at our cabin. We were just sitting there and then out of nowhere the largest monarch butterfly hit the windshield and splattered everywhere. I remember how that took us both by so much surprise and we jumped in unison. The tragic death of that butterfly bonded us that day as we started talking about life and death and having a real conversation. I’ve always been the kind of person to truly value deep conversations and I remember being so into whatever was said that day between the two of us. The death of that butterfly also became like an inside joke between us during that vacation and we would bring it up always with a laugh. I miss those deep conversations with you. I feel like the deepest we can get now is talk about the weather. Or about the latest celebrity news that you have become interested in. It’s as if you think that you can reach the level of bonding that we had that vacation day by telling me that Beyoncé is pregnant. I miss having you as a companion. I used to go to you, about almost anything. We had the type of relationship that resembled one of mother- daughter. But what are we now mom? I don’t even know. I don’t even know how to feel about you as my mom. Because you don’t have that mom role anymore. I don’t know how to talk to you. I always dread going back home because a large part of me doesn’t want to see you, confront you, or talk to you. My favorite way of communication with you now is over the phone. Because then at least I can pretend that the long pauses that you take between our sentences is because something is distracting you, rather than the real reason. There are moments when I am talking to you and it almost feels as if you’re back to how you used to be. I feel like I have my mom back and I get to lose myself in that fantasy for a few perfect seconds. I hate being home, feeling inclined to spend time with you. It shouldn’t be this way mom. I see the way my friends interact with their mom’s and how they still have that close mother-daughter bond, and I always get this sick feeling inside of me. I feel so much guilt for my feelings that I have about you mom. Why do I struggle so much with accepting you as you are now? Why can’t I just look passed the disabilities and see the person in front of me rather than the losses in front of me?
But the thing is, I have lost you as a mom, mom. I have lost you as the person that will grab my hand and will dance with me. I have lost you as a signing partner. I have lost you as a person to talk to. I have simply lost you. And that loss of you has left me feeling so lost and empty. I am in so much pain for the amount of loss I have endured but how can I grieve you when the shell of you is still right in front of me? How can I fully feel my loss when I can still look and talk to you?
I can’t remember what your voice sounded like before your stroke. I can’t recall what your voice was like. But I still am able to hear you speak, even though it isn’t the same. I can barely remember what your face looked like before your stroke. But I still have a face that I can look at that is yours. But do you know how complicated and confusing all of this is for me? To lose your voice but have a different one? To lose your face but to have a contorted one in front of me now? You are still here and alive but there is a large part of you that is no longer alive in this world. The mother that I grew up with is only alive in my memories. And the thing is, I don’t even think the mom I grew up with, and the person that you were is still in your memories. I think you’ve fully lost who you were and you don’t even realize it. And that breaks my heart. What has happened to you has broken my heart. I try to not think about the memories I have of you before the stroke because then at least I don’t have to feel your loss entirely, but when I do feel it, it is an emotion that I don’t even know how to describe in this letter. My vocabulary can not reach to the depths of my emotions towards you.
You don’t remember what it was like while you were in the hospital and rehab center. So I will tell you what it was at least like for me during those 5 months. I remember that when I first heard that you were in the hospital, my mind thought that everything would be okay. I wasn’t all that nervous while sitting in the backseat of Molly’s car on my way to you, because bad things don’t really happen to you. They always happen to others, but never to you. How was I supposed to even comprehend what I was about to see? But I did see it, mom. I saw you, as you truly were in that moment. I’ll never forget the memory of walking into the ICU and seeing you in your bed from across the room. There were just so many machines, mom. So many machines simply trying to keep you alive while the real you was disappearing so fast and was already mostly gone. You didn’t look like you, I remember that. I remember looking into your eyes as you stared blankly at me and thinking, where has my mom gone? Who is this in front of me? You couldn’t talk, your brain couldn’t form sentences, so you couldn’t reassure me in that moment that it was you that I was looking at. All either of us could do was look at one another. One of us unsure that her family was standing at her bedside and the other unsure of if I still had a mom. I remember what it was like to go and visit you at the hospital. I remember wishing that you were actually dead. Because then you could have some peace and I would be able to grieve. In that moment I rather would have lost you completely rather than have just a part of you. I remember thinking, what kind of a life is this where you can’t think, talk, or move? I felt so much guilt for those thoughts though. Who wishes that their mom was dead? Everyone was telling me how lucky I was to have my mom still alive, but to me in the beginning, all I could see were the parts of you that were gone. And I think a part of me still struggles to find the parts of you that are still alive within you.
I remember what it was like to go and visit you each week. I remember that each drive to the hospital would feel as if it was an experience that wasn’t actually happening to me. The parking in the parking lot. Pushing the elevator button to the 6th floor. Walking into your hospital room and seeing you there in your bed. Do you remember how the right half of your head was completely shaved off and you had the large incision scar going all the way around your scalp with staples in it? I remember how one day I walked in and you showed me a cup full of all the staples that the doctor took from your head. You were so damn proud of that cup of staples. You showed it off as if it was an Olympic Gold medal.
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be all that proud of a cup of the metal that had held your scalp together. For me, it was just a reminder of how much things had changed between us. With your proudness, all I felt was emptiness. To be honest mom, that was all that I felt during that entire time and after it. I couldn’t even cry about my loss of you. The only time I remember crying was the day that the doctor told me that your voice was not going to be the same voice as it once was. I held my emotions together until I was home in my room. But then I just stared out the window at the street letting the tears silently roll down my face as I thought about how your voice sounded and how there would be one day when I would no longer be able to remember it. That day came and I sit here unable to recall it. I allowed myself to fully feel the loss of you that day. But I quickly shut it away again and continued to numb myself to you. Losing you mom, had me lose a part of myself too, I think. I lost my innocence and childhood. I lost my spirit. I lost my motivation to live. All I can remember feeling is the pure numbing sensation of the emptiness in my life without you. The house was so quiet when you weren’t there. The day you had your stroke, Kent and I were longing to have the house to ourselves while you were at the office. But when you were in the hospital all I wanted was to not be alone. I wanted us all to be back and filling the house up with our individual lives and fullness. Now the house was just as empty as we all felt.
It’s hard for me to think of you as anyone other than the person that I see now and who I saw then in the hospital. I struggle to think of what our relationship was like before your stroke, because a large part of me wants to protect myself from the negative way you impacted me. All I want to do is remember you as the mother that held my hand, sang with me, loved me. But that wasn’t the reality and there were times when you really did hurt me, mom. I remember the night before you had your stroke we had a fight. You were upset with me that I was still working on homework at 11pm. I wanted to do well on the assignment because all my life I had heard from you that that was what you expected from me. I was trying to do my best for you, and yet that wasn’t good enough for you. That’s how I always felt when I was around you. I just never felt like I was the daughter that you wanted me to be. I wasn’t smart enough, trying hard enough; I just wasn’t enough. Why did you put so much pressure on me to perform, mom? All I ever wanted to do was to please you. And now here I am, with a degree, working on my mental health, but I still do not feel as if I have done enough for you. In my mind, I have always been the daughter that has not met your expectations. And I don’t know if I will ever get rid of that feeling, because the person I am trying to please was lost to both of us when I was 17.
But even though I feel as if I wasn’t the daughter you wanted, there were times when you weren’t the mom that I needed. Where were you when Kent was beating me mom? Why did you make me feel as if it was my fault for having those bruises on my skin? I felt so abandoned when you did that. I was being hurt and you weren’t there to protect me. You were protecting him, instead. Why did you do that mom? I have held so much resentment towards you about all of your comments of “it was your fault, you knew you would trigger him.” I grew up my whole life with that message in my head that whenever I upset him or someone else that it was always my fault. I became so passive at home and in my life because I didn’t want to do anything wrong that would upset people because if I did, then whatever happened, it would be my fault. I’ve never told you this mom, but I got raped when I was in college. I was in a room full of people and yet I didn’t make a sound to awaken them. Because I was afraid that would upset him. And then after all of it I blamed myself, because as you always said mom, it’s my fault when a guy hurts me, right? You were wrong to have me believe that. I am still in the process of trying to get your words out of my brain and shake the self-blame away. I wish more than anything that I could have a conversation with you about that. I long to be able to just ask you why you protected him all of those times instead of me. Why did you do it mom? But I’ll never know now.
I lost my ability to ask you those questions, but I haven’t lost my right to be upset with you about it. Even though a terrible thing has happened to you, and you have lost you, I still can remember the good as well as the bad about what you were like before the stroke. I’m allowed to feel betrayed by you. I’m allowed to feel hurt by you. And I am allowed to grieve you.
We have lost you as the person that will spontaneously dance to a lively song or sing along to Dancing Queen. We have lost your spirit. We have lost your intelligence. And we have lost our mother-daughter bond. And I am so sorry mom for struggling with the loss of you while you are trying your best to keep on living. I hope that I can move on in my grief and learn how to truly love you again. But for now, just know that I am struggling. I don’t know how to stop the flashbacks each time I look at you. I don’t know how to talk to you without my heart breaking. And I don’t know how to deal with my feelings of resentment towards you.
In this letter I’ve continued saying that I don’t know how to talk to you. But I’ve got 3,000 words that show a different story. I just wish I could actually say all of this to you.
