The 5th House and Star Power/Quality ✨
The sign on your 5th House cusp and/or planet(s) in your 5th shows how you shine. Bright like a diamond! It's the key to finding not only your talent but your star power, your It Factor. If you were a celebrity, it would be what people praise you the most for. But, everyone gets the most hype for their 5th House energies. So, be your own talent agent and take advantage of them!
Life hack for creatives and performers out there: your 5th House shows you "your lane" as an artist. Not your 10th House. It's the direction you should go in creatively if you feel like you're struggling to successfully carve out your niche or attract recognition. You will gain the biggest following by emphasizing it.
Tumblr media
SUN IN THE 5TH and/or LEO ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Lucky you! You seemingly just have to be you to gain an adoring following. People love how authentic you are, how you're not trying to be anyone other than you. This is "movie star" type energy. The kind of performer who is constantly "playing themselves" but is so charming and magnetic that nobody minds. You have Stage Presence. You could just stand around, doing nothing, and people want to watch. So, remember that you never have to try hard. You're just naturally entertaining and charismatic. Don't be afraid to play the role of the star, either! Admit it. You enjoy the attention. And others enjoy giving it to you! Your confidence plays a big role in this (whether it's natural or you're faking it til you're making it), creating this golden aura of greatness around you. You could turn the grocery store into a Red Carpet event just by walking in.
MOON IN THE 5TH and/or CANCER ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
No matter your age, you remain the girl or boy next door. Your star quality is cute, comforting, safe. Wholesome vibes. This is the actor who does a dozen rom-coms or tearjerkers that are like a fuzzy blanket on a rainy day. You gain the most applause via your vulnerability. In spite of what you may fear, shedding a few tears or having a cathartic meltdown only earns you admiration, not ridicule. Sensitivity allows you to shine! You might have a very charismatic mother figure that you clearly get your greatness from. Or, if/when you have children, they could look up to you as the brightest light in their life. Your whole immediate family may be very talented or entertaining and you're most in your element when around them.
MERCURY IN THE 5TH and/or GEMINI ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Hello, Jack/Jill of all Trades! People will be enthralled by just how multi-talented you are. Double/triple/quadruple threats! It may even exhaust others a bit and even if you're not exactly mastering all those interests, you still make it fascinating to watch. But, let's be clear: writing is your bread and butter, whether it's screenwriting, prose, poetry, or blogging. You are a top-tier storyteller, even in person, and will probably gain the most attention for your writing. Your star quality stems from that witty, smart, cheeky, clever voice you have. When you have something to say, people listen! And it usually takes them in an unpredictable direction. Your duality is also the key to your charisma, as you are an entertaining bundle of opposites that others can't truly figure out.
VENUS IN THE 5TH and/or TAURUS/LIBRA ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Okay, let's be honest. Your attractiveness keeps people in the palm of your hand. Most of your audience is so entertained by you because they think you're such a babe. Also, that you're just such a sweetheart! This would be the kind of actor whose characters you always root for because they're so damn likable. But, before you see your star power as superficial (as you may sometimes complain about not being taken seriously enough), you have some serious artistic prowess. It's largely visual. You'd make a fabulous director, painter or photographer because your aesthetic and eye for beauty leaves others wanting more. (You might even just be the best at curating your social media) PS: You are either the ultimate muse, constantly inspiring others' art or other notable efforts, or you tap into your light by making a special someone your muse.
MARS IN THE 5TH and/or ARIES ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Do you hear that? It's the sound of your fans salivating over you! Your star power makes you hot as a summer day and it's not necessarily about how you look. You just have this sexual charisma to you. It's giving sexy rock star, with all the panties or boxer-briefs thrown on stage to prove it. So, if you were to be a performer, that would be your lane. Or possibly a rapper (depending on your skills/interests, obviously). Anything that lets you be wild, raw, hard-hitting. Regardless of your talents, you shine brightly when being daring and living on the edge. This also makes for extreme-sports enthusiasts and excellent athletes, the latter of which can lead to a killer bod. Which will definitely gain you much attention. Tbh, there are some himbo/bimbo vibes here but in the most empowered way. Like, "yes, I will wear little to no clothes because I know people love it and it's my power move."
JUPITER IN THE 5TH and/or SAGITTARIUS ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Listen, you're not just talented. You have serious Chosen One energy. Whatever you are good at, it's blatantly obvious that you were put on Earth to do it. You live out your path like a God-given mission and it leaves people kind of in awe. If you're an artist (and there's a good 83.5 percent chance you are, with this placement), you are capable of either becoming a larger-than-life force in your creative field or gain a passionate cult following that is convinced you're terribly underrated (even though you're quite popular) and no one gets your work like they do. In the midst of it all, your sense of fun and humor remain, never taking yourself too seriously. You shine bright by being funny, colorful, a little bit extra and uncensored. Blunt, on-the-edge statements that others would be crucified for are mostly seen as entertaining and refreshing coming from you.
SATURN IN THE 5TH and/or CAPRICORN ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
This is definitely the girlboss position, even for the boys with this placement, lol, because you know how to be in-charge in a way that others find exciting and engaging. Like, "Yes, I want to get that bread, too!" But, few people can actually match your work ethic or authority, which could stem from a father figure who you worship and adore and make you a very commanding figure. It's funny but the more intimidating you are, the more you shine. Or should I say the brighter you shine, the more that light intimidates others? Most of you with this placement embrace it, seeing the perks of being feared. Popular people often are! You might not get the credit for your actual talent that you deserve, especially if you're an artist. People may think your greatness is a matter of image or focus more on how you hustled to the top. It may not be until you're a bit older that people start seeing your actual substance.
URANUS IN THE 5TH and/or AQUARIUS ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
You are most charismatic or entertaining when you're not trying to be. The nerdy, weird, or chaotic parts of yourself that you may cringe at or think nothing of are actually what gain you the most praise. You might be like that celebrity who acts like they're not famous or doesn't understand why they are. But, as time goes on, you learn to just go with it! Similar to Jupiter/Sagittarius in the 5th, your creative talents can be truly iconic. But, there's like an "artistic genius" or "young prodigy" vibe here. You might completely stumble into a skill and shock everyone, especially yourself, with what a natural you are. You also shine by defying certain gender roles, impressing others as a sensitive or beauty-loving guy or a tomboyish or aggressive lady.
NEPTUNE IN THE 5TH and/or PISCES ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Your star power stems from the entire worlds and dimensions you can create. Obviously, this is a particularly artsy, imaginative placement. But, a role as a fantasy/sci-fi writer, especially, could lead to lots of praise. Few would excel at intricate world-building or provide glorious escapism like you. Whatever you do creatively, your special magic shines through. A chameleon type presence is also evident, like the type of actor who can easily "disappear" into roles. Even in regular life, people are most entertained by your disappearing acts. You might be very quiet and internal, even in a room full of people, intriguingly fading into the background. Or you could just be evasive, like a spirit that quickly vanishes and whose absence haunts you. Regardless, it's your softness, your mystery, your fantasy life that enthralls people. Bonus points if you have a particular alter ego you constantly assume.
PLUTO IN THE 5TH and/or SCORPIO ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
You entertain folks best when your highs and lows are on full display. People want to see the drama with you, the "sturm und drang", the tears and the ecstasy. A creative outlet is actually quite recommended for most of you with this influence. Those emotional extremes you're capable of draw your audience in the most, whether it's through introspective poetry or soul-baring music or the kind of raw character work that is worthy of Best Actor or Actress. The deeper you go, the more you shine. And while that may be scary, you embrace that fear and enjoy conquering it. But, there are limits to this intimacy, as you can be equally guarded in a way that ironically gains you more fans. It's that "leave them wanting more" star quality, a kind of Greta Garbo mystique. Even when you tell people you want to be alone, it doesn't stop them from trying harder to get into your business. The dilemma of such a private star!
CHIRON IN THE 5TH and/or VIRGO ON THE 5TH HOUSE CUSP
Feeling particularly neurotic? Like you're not good enough and like you have no clue how to do what you're supposedly talented at? This is the struggle of many creatives. But, for you, this insecurity is actually the essence of your star quality. You are the underdog that everyone roots for. Your fans might find it especially endearing or rather heartbreaking that you don't see your greatness. But, it creates this narrative around you where others want to invest in your endless journey to prove yourself. One secret you may keep, even from yourself, is that a part of you knows you're good. But, you're afraid to admit it because you think it'll jinx you. Or you think you have to squash any potential ego and remain impeccably humble. Allow yourself the occasional private "I'm feeling myself" moment. No one else will know!
Thank you for attending my Hype Session. Keep shining, babes.

Made an 1987 Venus, and a 2012 Venus, so I’ve been long overdue to make a 2003 Venus! Tada~
Tumblr media
In this interpretation, Venus wasn’t initially separated from her brothers. Instead, she was raised alongside them-up until the family went on the trip to Japan to return Hamato Yoshi’s ashes. The whole ordeal with the ninja tribunal happened around about the same, however at the end, while erasing the turtles memories, the tribunal saw Venus’s mystic potential and took her away to be trained by them, wiping her families memories of her as well.
Skip ahead a few years, and when Leo his sent away from is family-instead of the Ancient One, he meets her. Another turtle willing to help who feels so so familiar…

Scorpio Energy
Tumblr media
Scorpio energy is intense, passionate, and transformative.
Scorpios are known for having deep emotions, a mysterious nature, and a powerful presence. If a scorpio comes into your life they will change you in some way or form. They have an innate ability to tap into the human psyche.
Scorpios are naturally curious and have a strong desire to uncover hidden truths and secrets. Scorpios are often associated with investigative, research based, and therapeutic careers. They see beyond the surface and understand the motivations and desires of others.
Scorpios are deeply connected to transformation and rebirth. When faced with challenges and despondencies they are given the ability to reinvent themselves and emerge stronger than before. They are not afraid to confront darkness (ignorance) as they usually hold the light (wisdom). They are drawn to the shadow sides of human nature.
Scorpio has an intense passion and magnetic attraction about them. They either allure or intimidate others upon meeting them. For those they love and care for they are fiercely loyal and protective about. Sometimes this can come off as jealousy and possessiveness. Their passionate nature extends to all aspects of life whether it’s career, relationships, or personal interests.
Scorpio energy is often associated with mystery and secrecy. Scorpios can keep their true thoughts and feelings hidden. They are highly set on protecting themselves which often leads to them wanting control around what people know about their personal lives. They also have the ability of keep others secrets.

Triage: Initial Thoughts
Hello! Venus back at it again with the 4-5 AM theory time! This time we’re looking at Shidou’s second MV, Triage! 
I’m going to be going through my various thoughts on everything as usual, going point by point to analyze each thing. I’ll be referencing Triage, his first MV Throwdown, and the always-fast audio drama translation by @onigiriico​! 
Alright, let’s do this!
Shidou’s kids died immediately, but his wife had a chance to live.
I’m basically just going to give a quick play by play of what I think happened in the video.
Surprise, Shidou has kids! And a wife, but we figured that already. They’re all very cute and all until they fade out like ghosts pretty early on. Before that happens, though, I think that, chronologically, the opening sequence of Shidou walking with some groceries happens first.
Tumblr media
He’s just going about his day, walking around, having a great time. He’s intending to take stuff back to his family and cook dinner or whatever he usually does that we see in the cute scenes.
Then, though, he gets a phone call. He answers it (this is the untranslated “Kirisaki desu” part; please let us know if you find a full translation of what he says on the call there!) and we move on to the next scene. However, later, at 1:57, we hear the line die. I think that this is probably Shidou getting a phone call from the hospital. He sounds casual in his initial response because he probably assumes it’s work related, but once he hears what happened, he drops the line and immediately heads over.
I think Shidou’s kids must have died immediately because of Throwdown. Throwdown has absolutely no references to his kids (though he does mention liking children and stuff like that in his first audio drama, which now kinda stings) and, were he also trying to save them, I’m sure there would’ve been at least some references. 
I think it’s far more likely that, whatever happened, both his kids died immediately, but his wife was in a condition where he could still try to save her. That’s when Throwdown occurs. Shidou probably focused intensely on trying to save his wife as a way to cope with the death of his children. Then, after his wife officially died, it really hit him that he had nothing left, and he was forced to process it. That’s when he started feeling all the guilt and wishing for death. 
This isn’t really relevant, but my best bet is a car crash. It seems like a likely and viable way that his kids could’ve died instantly while the wife could’ve kept living. As a minor note on that, he’s also walking back with groceries, which could indicate that someone else (the rest of his family) might’ve had a car. I don’t remember if Shidou mentions anything about driving or anything like that at any time, but if I had to call a method of death right now, that’s what I’d go for.
NOTE: I do want to disclaim this by saying it’s also possible that one of his kids was the flower person in Throwdown. He gives a receipt to one of his kids, so that could make some sense. I need to go back and compare the flower person in Throwdown with the people in Shidou’s family now that they have appearances. I also need to reread his first audio drama; he says something about it being fitting that Es is judging him, which could check out if his crime relates to trying to save his kid instead. If I am wrong and it was one of his kids that he was trying to save, then everything about what I’m saying still checks out; just swap everything I say about his wife with one of the kids.
Shidou purposefully showed us the least forgivable parts of his crime in Throwdown.
Looking back on it, Shidou painted himself in an awful light in Throwdown, and I’m sure it was intentional. After all, he was trying to get us to give him a guilty verdict. If you say that a prisoner like Muu might have been altering what part of her story we received in order to get her desired verdict in the first round (innocent), Shidou could absolutely do the same thing with a guilty verdict.
He doesn’t show us any of the context of his loved ones and how much he loved them; that was all stuff we had to read between the lines of. We see him butchering plant after plant only to end in horrific failure without ever seeing him succeed at anything surgical. (He still should’ve hypothetically been saving lives while doing all of this; it’s not like he was ONLY killing people.) 
He even shows us the horrified reactions of the loved ones of patients he killed. I can only imagine that he would do that if he was trying to spark a negative reaction in us.
In contrast, this MV is very straightforwardly showing how the day he lost his family went for Shidou and directly examines what verdict Shidou wants (more on this later). I think, therefore, that this is probably a much more honest view of the situation than Throwdown, at least in terms of how Shidou perceives the truth. 
Shidou is constantly plagued by the guilt of what happened.
The simplest way to explain this is with this image: 
Tumblr media
When showing Shidou’s family turning to ghosts, he views the man that he used to be as dying with them. Shidou, as he was, is dead. Still, what happened clearly still impacts him. That’s pretty obvious, but I’m talking down to the details. He mentions kids and liking them in both of his audio dramas. Further, take this lovely image: 
Tumblr media
Pancakes. Shidou made pancakes for his kids. In BOTH Minigrams 3 (Pancake) and 24 (Pancake: a Second Trial) Shidou is directly shown talking about pancakes and their relation to children. He really wants Amane, the young child, to try some. It seems like he used to make pancakes for his kids before they died. He’s very clearly not recovered in any sense. That’s not surprising, but it’s still something to point out.
Triage takes place almost entirely before and after Throwdown.
That sounds a little confusing, but all I mean is that Throwdown is completely isolated from this MV. Some parts of this MV happen before the events of Throwdown; those are the ones featuring Shidou’s wife and kids, as well as the ones where he simply looks younger. The other parts are clearly looking back at the same time frame, but are from Shidou’s present perspective, here in Milgram. Those are the ones where he reflects on his verdict or directly addresses what verdict he wants.
Most directly, I think the part at 2:14 indicates this. Shidou, looking back on the death he caused (knives in the pomegranates and other food, dead flowers, receipts from the surgeries that we also saw in Throwdown), says “I want to be INNOCENT / I want to live.” That’s him, in the Milgram prison, right now, coming to terms with the fact that he actually, genuinely wants to live right now.
In the audio drama, he’s clearly conflicted. He still says that he wants to die, that he wants to atone for his sins and that dying is the only way he can make it up to the people he killed. He also, though, says that, at least for right now, he wants to live. Futa and especially Mahiru are on death’s door, and there’s no telling what other injury might occur. He believes he’s essential to saving lives within the Milgram prison (and I think he’s 100% right).
He even directly references this in the song lyrics, talking about “extracting the fang.” The fang is clearly Kotoko, given that Milgram has referred to the damage Kotoko does with fang imagery before and given that that’s what he’s currently healing. He has to be the one to save them because he’s the only one who can; as a result, to save lives, he has to care about his life right now. While he’s still unsure of what final verdict he wants, he knows that he needs to stay alive, at least going into trial 3.
VOTE: INNOCENT
Personally, this one’s a no-brainer. Es theorizes in the audio drama that Shidou only harvested organs from braindead patients, and though he never outright confirms it, based on his responses, it seems to me like that’s true. That means his crime isn’t as severe as we initially thought it was.
Additionally, he’s right; he is indispensable to us right now. He outright says in the audio drama that if he stops giving Mahiru care, she’ll die, whether or not anything else happens to her. That basically tells us that voting Shidou guilty means Mahiru dies. That’s not good, and I’d rather avoid prisoner death when we think it’s possible.
I also just don’t think it’s smart to change verdicts on him here. If we decide that, after all is said and done, we can’t forgive Shidou, we should do that with the third verdict. Here, we want to leave both options open. Right now, Shidou is torn between wanting to live and wanting to die. If we switch to guilty, we’ll ruin any chance he has at recovering a will to live and a will to atone through any means other than death. If we want to preserve the option of forgiving him in the end, I think we have to forgive him here. We can debate whether his actions were forgivable or not in the last round.

How to spot a potential power couple by looking at their synastry/harmonious aspects for romantic relationships
💜 in heterosexual relationships, attraction most often occurs if the woman has her Mars in the same sign as the man has his Venus 💜
💜 the relationship has great potential if one of the partners has his/hers moon in the same sign in which the other partner has their sun 💜
💜 mutual attraction occurs when partners have their first house in the other partner's seventh house 💜
💜 in heterosexual relationships, if the man's venus is in the woman's first house he sees her as the perfect woman, the woman appears to have everything he ever wanted in a partner (this is especially true regarding the woman's physical appearance) 💜
💜 one partner's moon/venus in the other partner's seventh house in synastry indicates romantic interests 💜
💜 if there are positive aspects (like sextile or trine) that connect the moon or venus with saturn in synastry, or if one partner's saturn is in the seventh house of the other partner, there is a high probability that the individuals will be interested in a longterm romance 💜
💜 likewise, if one partner's moon falls in the 10th house of the other partner and vice versa (so both partner's moon fall into the 10th house of the other partner), strong emotions are present in that dynamic. It's most definitely one of the strongest combos to have in a synastry 💜

The Allure of Lori Harvey
A Social Analysis of the Modern Black Feminine
For the summer of 2022, Ms. Harvey’s social life is trending, due to her sudden and abrupt ‘amicable’. break up with Michael B. Jordan, who’s also known as baby Denzel and one of the most eligible black men in the world.
We can speculate that the relationship was fake, real, MBJ was played or trying to rehab his image or Lori just didn't want to settle down and we’ll likely never know the real reason they broke up, but we can unpack the mysteries of Lori’s femininity an allure and figure out why she is so polarizing, equally admired & despised.  But first? We need a little background for a clear picture!
Lori Harvey is the quintessential Black American princess + socialite of the mainstream urban & hood collective. The adoptive stepdaughter of Steve Harvey and progeny of Majorie ‘Lady Heroin’ Harvey, she was born into one generation of black wealth and the genetic lottery. Her biological father was a famed drug kingpin from Memphis who managed to snag her mother. Majorie was also a legend in her own right on the streets, known for her beauty, ruthless demeanor, a peculiar sense of lascivious and lavish tastes, while she courted and eventually married famed drug kings, gangsters and pimps, in the black underworld. Majorie was described as beautiful, intense, ruthless and hypergamous. There was no doubt in Majorie’s mind that she would make it to the top and she didn’t care how she got there. Majorie narrowly avoided going to prison, after being investigated by the FBI and moved on to higher pastures by cleaning up her image, setting her sights on seducing and marrying comedic legend Steve Harvey.
Tumblr media
Steve & Majorie Harvey
 
The glamour of a famous stepfather and the dangerous mystique of her mother's past has rubbed off on Lori, as it appears she intends to follow in her mother’s footsteps by doing the same, and marrying well.
This lends Lori an incredible amount of curiosity and admiration from the black feminine collective. Her personal style, diet and dating choices are all up for social inspection and which she seems to enjoy and utilize to her benefit.
Socially in the black collective, it’s not looked upon favorably for black women to openly date hypergamously. Some could say this fact is easily said for all other women, except for the black woman is drastically socially different. The black woman is expected to be completely self sacrificing to the detriment of herself, other women, black men and the mental and social health of the black community and world, at large.
Historically the black body has been seen as hypersexual cultural commodity and unfortunately still black women aren’t free from these archaic assumptions. This hypersexuality when paired with two hundred plus years of systemic racism & psychological terrorism has created a confusing and hostile climate for the social and mental health of the feminine in the black community. Anything feminine is inherently seen as detriment or looked upon with disgust or shame, in both black men and women. It's culturally ingrained and internalized, for Black women to be consistently expected to have lower standards in terms of partners whether it be mentally, spiritually, physically or financially and the collective actively participates in defeminizing an robbing black women of their individual self respect and womanhood. These toxic ideologies, have seeped into the black social structure and in the global& mainstream social collective, an have done irreputable damage, terrorizing and harming the social and mental health of both black men and women, whom have been passing down this vicious cycle of toxicity from generation to generation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 
In comes Lorie Harvey, who represents a new breed of Black American women in this modern social landscape who have grown tired of a horrible status quo, are hoping for better & who see fractions of themselves in her. She may not even know it but Lori actively carries a new hope of shattering the toxic glass ceiling prepared for black woman by creating a better example of the social options for the black female collective and maybe even the mainstream globally.
Lori is bold and actively hypergamous, dating some of the wealthiest black men in the community and making a clean break when things don’t work out. For the modern black woman this is considered to be highly unusual and makes her intensely polarizing and hated by certain groups of black men, women and the community who aren’t used to change and are comfortably brainwashed by status quo.
For many Lori represents a break from convention and social change of the modern evolution within the mainstream black feminine collective. Change is not easy and this new development is going to be extremely scary to many, for a variety of reasons. For some groups of men, this means having to put in more effort when finding a sexual partner or mate and losing certain benefits they felt previously entitled too, for outsiders this can also mean possibly losing access or the interest wealthy or high status black men financially or sexually that they also feel entitled to, it could even threaten centuries old racist structures which are were intentionally created to keep the black community currently unstable and foster hostility via gender wars. The current dating scene within the community is obviously toxic. The Modern Black women hasn't really built the healthy structure dating structure, that pushes her and the community to the highest good. Most black women are ignorant on how to go about dating properly or seeking out quality mates, which in turn creates a horrible cycle of toxicity. For many black women this has led to hyper paralyzed state of toxic independence, which has been severely harmful to both black men and women, something that can be further researched by taking the time to read the Willie Lynch letters. It’s important for black women to break this cycle which has been enforced since the beginning the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade, because it will actively promote better social and mental health for both black men and women, and in turn the entire community.
Tumblr media
Lori fits a certain beauty standard, which can be argued to fit within some Urban or Eurocentric ideals. She’s moderately brown skin, gently relaxes her hair making it wavy/straight, an has a slim nose and full lips. She’s relatively in shape partaking in Pilates, a bit of precarious dieting and her shape varies between lightly petite and curvy. Her resources give her access to a variety high quality skin care, plastic surgery and beauty treatments. Despite this, her beauty looks natural and feels more easily accessible. She takes a considerable amount of care in her looks and it’s certainly strategic on her part because she’s hyper aware of beauty privilege and the visual nature of men, which she works to her benefit. All of these things somewhat work in her favor, but also can lend way to her being ripped apart socially, because beautiful brown skinned black women aren’t often taken seriously within black collective, without an extremely well credentialed educational background or status, and this may still never be enough. She walks a precarious tightrope of gender and colorism. There is no way of knowing for certain if her behavior would be considered less controversial and tolerated slightly better if she was of lighter of complexion, like the semi-controversial musician and queen of hip-pop Doja Cat, for example.
