That’s Not the Moon. I Photographed the Planet Venus Setting Behind Seattle’s Space Needle Last Night. There Was No Composition Done For This Image.

Following the setting Sun yesterday evening was a distant world — one that has been shrouded with clouds for billions of years. A world reflecting so much sunlight that it can be spotted during broad daylight. Venus. For years I have had the goal of resolving the planet against a foreground or landscape, and just […]

Does anyone else desperately search for someone’s birthday online after you meet them?

It could just be my Pluto aspect on my Mercury, but I obsessively try to find people’s birthdays online so I can see what their basic chart looks like, like my boss, coworkers, acquaintances, etc. It’d be weird to meet someone at work and then ask them their birthday right off the bat, right? So […]

This Sunday, I Captured the International Space Station Transit the First Quarter Moon With my Telescope. The Whole Event Lasted 1/4th of a Second.

Title: When a Transit Becomes a Moment: A 1-Millisecond Window on the ISS Crossing the Moon In the crowded sky above us, events unfold at tempos we rarely pause to measure.

Why do those who don’t believe in astrology feel so strongly about it?

I think it’s a bit of a contradiction to harbour such strong sentiments towards something you don’t believe in. Ive noticed that it seems to evoke a very hostile reaction and I’m wondering why that is? Those who don’t believe with astrology almost always reduce it to pop magazine astrology and present an uncharitable understanding […]

Just learned that sun, moon, & rising signs are a thing, and everything’s suddenly making a *lot* more sense than it did when I was “just a Taurus.”

I’ve always been a pretty intense person who feels things deeply and walks her own path; I’m also neither materialistic nor “traditional,” which seem to pop up in almost every Taurus description ever written.
