letters to the zodiac

dappledforest:

aries; you are so good and kind. don’t lose your fervor. the world is wide and sometimes dark but keep looking for the places where sunlight is warmest. don’t let harshness wear you down.

taurus; i know the melancholy in your chest makes it hard to breathe. i know the hollowness feels so heavy, but someday it will be filled with the most beautiful flowers and you’ll forget what this pain feels like.

gemini; you are so very beautiful. your voice sounds like the chime of churchbells, full and warm and holy. someone will be so unbelievably in love with you someday.

cancer; look for the light pink streaks in sunsets, the ones that look like cotton candy. you’ve got a heart as soft as summer rain, don’t let it shatter; be careful with yourself. surround yourself with gentle people.

leo; you feel everything so deeply, don’t you? take a breath; the air is sweet and warm and so very alive. i know that change is so very hard but the feeling of wind in your lungs always stays the same. it will heal you.

virgo; you aren’t dangerous. it’s easy to feel like barbed wire, like broken glass, like power lines humming with electricity, but you are human. blood and veins and skin. you sharpen all your edges, make yourself dark and harsh and untouchable but maybe it’s time to let someone in.

libra; let go. i know that you cling to every person so hard that your knuckles turn white, but if they’re not good to you let them go.

scorpio; i know how hard it is to keep going. i know how hard it is to shatter like porcelain in the nighttime and put the pieces back together at dawn. let the dreams linger on your skin, wake up and unbury the sun. it’s okay if you’re still broken in the morning.

sagittarius; pushing yourself to the very brink again and again will never solve it. be gentle with your tired body, let your weary feet rest.

capricorn; you don’t need to blaze yourself into the heart of everyone you meet. you don’t need to linger like the blue spots in your eyes after you look at the sun. you can ease up, it’s okay not to be everything at once.

aquarius; when the water swallows you whole and you can’t breathe let it. tomorrow will come and it will be more beautiful than you can imagine. the golden warmth of the sun will make you feel more human; daylight will wash away the hurt.

pisces; keep creating. your mind is so beautiful, so draw until your fingers bleed. write until your palms ache. sing until your throat is raw.

sylvia plath quotes for the signs:

smallestlight:

aries: “i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.” 

taurus: “the floor seemed wonderfully solid. it was comforting to know i had fallen and could fall no farther.”  

gemini: “i want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and i am horribly limited.”

cancer: “perhaps some day i’ll crawl back home, beaten and defeated. but not as long as i can make stories out of my heartbreak; beauty out of sorrow.”

leo: “i want to taste and glory in each day; to never be afraid to experience pain, to never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or to stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.”

virgo: “what horrfies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.” 

libra: “i felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery – air, mountains, trees, people. i thought, ‘this is what it is to be happy.’” 

scorpio: “if the moon smiled, she would resemble you. you leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.”  

sagittarius: “i wanted change and excitement and to shoot off into all directions myself, like the colored arrows of a fourth of july rocket.”

capricorn: “i took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: i am, i am, i am.”

aquarius: “i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. i lift my lids and all is born again.” 

pisces: “here i am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. i remember what this flesh has gone through; i dream of what it may go through.”

i feel like. tonight is the night for some scalding zodiac tea?????

lets start off with the demons:

libras cant make decisions because they are unwilling to deal with the consequences of their actions. they will spend all night ruminating over the nature of a nutrigrain bar but cant tell you what flavour they want from the store lest they piss someone or themselves off.

aquarians think theyre so learned and above the rabble but it takes them like 5 years to finish essays on human understanding. if they even started it to begin with. and theyll prod for everyones opinion just to prove how much yours doesnt measure up to theirs. if they have a real opinion about anything to beging with, and not like a set of vaguely moralistic rules they half embody to seem enlightened.

scorpios will never be happy or satisfied with themselves, which is why they aggressively question and judge others. they harbour a near constant paranoia over their basest vulnerabilities being discovered and worked against them, not realising no one was even looking to begin with. theyre always tryna play chess when everyone else is playing gin rumy.

capricorns love to wallow in fantasies of victimisation. forever self-aggrandising, the cassandra soothesayer genius locked up in their tower of ivory wishing someone would come along and knock the foundations in so they can finally be justified. any excuse to claim being forced to interact with the rest of the world when the truth is they were too afraid to climb down the rope.

and what of the ones whom fight???

aries dont know when to shut up about themselves, whether its a conversation that involves you, someone, or nobody. they are unable to live in the present, constantly reaching for a future that will never come to pass because they refuse to look up the directions to get there, doomed to a lifetime of instead, comparing their achievements to others, cuz they cant seem to shoot without someone else taking aim.

geminis dont know how to talk about their feelings without making it your fault. they could have been punch in the mouth and theyll displace all their anger and blame you for asking whether or not theyre okay. and then they blame you for deciding to leave them alone instead, and for not walking away quietly enough. only to later find out they got punch cuz they said some slick shit. “i cant tak about this right now!” is universally employed in almost any situation.

leos need for validation is only outweighed by their ability to hold a grudge. wrong them once and in tens years time you.l find yourself asking why so and so hasnt called you in a decade. call them up and theyll pretend like nothings even the matter. but under the delusions of grandeur and the oft retold story of how they successfully made a right out of a left, theyll always remember when you stol the last dorito out of the bag without asking anyone else if they wanted it. because guess what else they are???? petty.

cancers will never leave you alone because theyre afraid of being alone. theyd rather be fighting with you than being quiet by themselves. the taste of dissatisfactin will linger in the air like stale flatulence, but they will never let go. happy to make everyone just as miserable as they are. dont worry, theyll be sad while they squeeze the life out of you, if only because they see their own pain reflected in your listless eyes.

and of the last? the ones who only learned to dig one grave? they will always think one is all you need:

for virgos, there is nothing so swift as obsession. and nothing so longlasting. for why deal with the reality of life when you can ride the deluge of addiction. addiction to art, to drugs, to work, to self. constantly reinventing the wheel to distract themselves from the inevitability of disappointment. they cannot run fast enough, so they build a motorcycle with wings, to fly away into the sun. to BECOME the sun. but when the stars spit them back to earth, shackling them to this coil, everyone else becomes the target. no one survives their failures.

sagittarians are ghosts of fire and illusion, rarely glimpsed but forever felt. the burns on your palms left from an attempt to hold them down. fooled by their own effervescence, they will always remain corpreal, unable to truly connect for fear of being trapped. so they run. and they hide. and the pretend that nothing ever matters. and they dream of what it feels like to be loved, but are too scared to open up their chest, scared of being put out. you will never know them.

taurus will meander through life in search of meaning, and not realise til they literally trip over the answer. sometimes you actually HAVE to do things for yourself. its a lesson that must be learned over and over because they have a hard-ass head, through which sound cannot vibrate. all lessons are hard learned, because they cannot hear anything else aside from their own voice, and the voice of the person holding their spoon.

piscians leave chaos in their wake, forever in search of a self, a reflection of all the signs that came before, constantly fooling itself into being real. will you ever know someone who doesnt know themselves??? and if theyre not in the midst of an existential crisis, all the more warning, as theyre prone to bouts of pettiness and evil at the slightest of slights, pushing your face into the water so you know what it feels like to drown even when its impossible to die; a hurricane of emotions all boiled down to a teacup, and poured over your face.

DAMN GIRL, YOU GOOD???

negative traits the sister signs share

sexandtheastrology:

Aries & Libra : Both fall out of love just as quick as they fell into it. Both are reckless with people’s hearts and won’t hesitate to drop them if things aren’t going their way. Aries wont be happy in a relationship unless they’re the boss and Libra won’t be happy in a relationship unless their partner lives up to their ideals. Y’all some selfish motherfuckers. 

Taurus & Scorpio: Both are defensive af and have trust issues. They think everyone’s out to get them and hurt them. People could take a bullet for these guys and they’ll still not trust you. This can causes them to be possessive and suspicious in relationships. Y’all some paranoid motherfuckers. 

Gemini & Sagittarius: Both hate responsibilities and any sort of stability. They hate the mundane life and live reckless lifestyles. Commitment to anything terrifies them. They just suck when it comes to being reliable and having to think about someone other than themselves. Y’all some careless motherfuckers. 

Cancer & Capricorn: Both have a hard time letting the negative shit go. They’re very petty and can get fixated on revenge. Both tend to wallow in their nostalgia and melancholic thoughts. Hate being lonely and alone yet don’t do anything about it but throw a pity party. Y’all some pessimistic motherfuckers. 

Leo & Aquarius: Both are prideful and stubborn. They are my way or the highway type of people. Both think they’re better than everyone else but yet tend to have a deep fear of rejection. This fear causes them to not associate with people who disagree with them because they can’t stand being called out on their bullshit because it would kill their delusions of being the best. Y’all some egotistical motherfuckers. 

 Virgo & Pisces: Both have a Martyr complex. Both try to always be of service to others and can be extremely sacrificial. This can cause them to feel entitled to people having to be appreciative of them and thus can cause them to develop a victim complex when they’re not rewarded for their selflessness. They end up screwing themselves over when they put everyone’s needs before their own and they have no one to blame but themselves. Y’all some Mother-Theresa-wannabe motherfuckers.

Taurus

Rising: Slower to open up emotionally and vulnerably but is approachable. Can view people as resources or have a practical approach to others, is patient and calm in more shallow relationships, can have a possessive view about the world, which can manifest in many different ways. Taurus

Rising appreciates beauty and the physical, this carries over to when they are getting to know someone.

Gemini

Rising: Usually very social but is ultimately more detached when first getting to know others. This person is talkative, funny, and interesting but takes a bit to get close to.They do well with networking, navigating groups, is flexible in “fitting in”, and is observant. 

Duality can be seen in a Gemini Rising, usually via becoming distant and elusive vs. being highly attentive and involved with those they are still getting to know or are not close with.

Cancer

Rising: Usually on the shyer side or is reserved. They take a while to open up and get close to. They can be sensitive and reclusive with acquaintances or more shallow connections. They may attract others with a bit of mystery or emotional appeal. A Cancer Rising can swing from being softly approachable to being closed off and prickly. Emotional biases could seep through their adaptable and pulled back exterior.

Leo Rising: Is usually a very warm and extroverted person on the surface. In more shallow relationships doesn’t want to ever be looked down upon and tries to impress. They can be generous to those they aren’t close to. Leo

Rising might keep anyone threatening to their individuality or strength at arms length.

Virgo Rising: Can be shy or quiet, cares a lot about first impressions, critical or bluntness can come out in how they see the world, easygoing with associates or casual friends, remembers details about people they meet, and knows what they expect out of others. Virgo

Rising gives practical advise to really anyone in their life. They are picky about who they truly get close to but is helpful to acquaintances, coworkers, and maybe strangers.

Libra Rising: Can seem like everyone’s friend and approaches more shallow relationships with charm, persuasion, and mellowness. Relating to others is shown clearly but emotions and desires are not shown unless someone truly knows them/is very close. Libra

Rising is personable but when people try to get close they tend to turn elusive and maybe distant. Those who compliment them, romance them, or confront their deep or emotional side can get in.

Scorpio Rising: Can be hard to read or figure out for some. In more shallow relationships they are reserved and private. When they do get closer to people they want to discover them and can be driven by mystery or fascination. Feels uncomfortable with surface level. Despite their reserved nature can be influential and magnetic in more superficial bonds/networking. Their intensity is usually felt rather than seen by peers.

Sagittarius Rising: Tends to be open towards meeting new people and making new friends. They accept all types of people, their attention can be grabbed by someone interesting, and some can be easily impressed. They have a heart-on-their-sleeve approach to more shallow relationships.

Capricorn Rising: Is dependable and responsible with casual pals, associates, and especially coworkers. They can be practical towards getting to know others, only getting close if there is a gain by doing so (this isn’t always a materialistic or status gain). They

can be cold and hard when you try to peer in closer at  them. They open their doors when others are patient and trustworthy.

Aquarius Rising:

Tends to approach almost everyone in the same way, maybe this is viewing everyone as a friend or in a professional way. They try to get to the core of the individual when getting to know someone.
Aquarius Rising are distant and can get indifferent when people try to pressure or pursue, usually emotionally.

Pisces Rising: Can lack boundaries when it comes to casual relationships and getting to know others. They tend to attract people who need healing/are wounded.
