go to astro.com to calculate groom persona chart
I am not sure whose chart you would like to see, but well why not? So for mine is given below:
Starting from the first part!
Sun in Aries at 5° in 5th house
This person would be very youthful, they would carry the energy of a child, like someone who is ready to take charge and not afraid to step into the limelight. Could be known for their natural confidence. They carry a certain sense of dominance with them, it's magnetizing and thrilling.
People might also have idealized them at a very young age, could be that since they like to really explore different types of passionate projects and hobbies that this person could be known as a the one who has done it all.
For them, destiny and luck play an important role in their life. They never been lead astray even when life or maybe parents could've left them alone, life hasn't.
Could be well known with acting or working with different types people. Even if they are older, they would look very young as if their age is in reverse in their personality
For them, it's important to always have some sort of hobby which they can always come back to as a coping mechanism and also what connects them to their inner purpose.
I am sure they will be in the career field of their choice, making one of their many hobbies as their career and will be very well known as well for it. They don't hold back giving their all, but they might constantly be on the verge of burning out because they always push themselves to the edge.
Moon in Aquarius at 26° in 4th house
If i have to describe them any way. Then i would call them as "born to be a rebel". Even though they are not afraid to stand out, they still at some point have this detachment from everything around them.
They have felt as the lone wolf in their journey, always above of everyone else but never truly having anyone to share this. At some point they beat themselves for using their youth mainly to prove that they are worth something to everyone.
They have understood though how much hard work goes to reach your goals and understand that this value they had to prove to others is somewhat shallow - they have always been enough.
Connections with life and work were made through family, their family could be known as a bit weird but they keep themselves as authetentic as they can.
Unlike the usual way of dealing with one's emotions, could be that they might use art or writing as a way of expressing themselves. They have this innate fear of truly being vulnerable with someone because of always ending up falling in love with an idealized version of that person.
Speaking of which, they have a hard time truly being humble because all they have been told their life that they are "special".
This person has been used to people exploiting in many ways in their life, mostly though due to their status and their position in their life, often both idealizing AND being idealized as a type who could never be in anyone's league.
They dissociate might have tendencies to use different sorts of pleasures like sex money, etc. as a way to avoid their feelings but i am sure the universe calls them out on it very frequently.
Adding in point, this person does come from a family who might not believe any type of spiritual OR they could be extremely into it to the point this person has gotten the ick from how it was used to justify ones actions and not being true to yourself about your mistakes.
They want an homebody, someone who doesn't mind where they come from. They want be known for more than where they come from.
Ascendant in Scorpio at 6°
(Conjunct Jupiter)
Could come off as extremely powerful, someone who doesn't bow down to others but others bow down to them
Have a very intense gaze, making people squirm under their looks.
They would look like that even though they have an intense exterior, they have a good heart within which melts under sweet things.
May have tattoos, piercings, etc. Which screams different. They carry this meaning behind every move they make, people can't help either loving them or hating them.
Always the eye of jealousy, or the beloved pf all. They have this chill personality truly but people could say oh this person is an ass and they treat everyone as their servant.
They are never one to go with the crowd, they would rather do their own thing then live for others.
They are very wise though, often from immense transformations from their life. And their approach being "change is the only permanent thing in life" has lead to many types of success.
They have a soft spot for routines, often involving trying to deal with their trauma in ways which make sure they don't mess up often
They truly have always been the one to take care of everyone. Maybe not in the softest manner but they have tried their best and no one has truly appreciated them enough to say that they did well.
Final notes -
I like how totally different yet same we are as people, this person has gone through a lot in their life and has an intense personality, like full of life type of persona that has been hidden beneath, they know that they have been seeking for peace from these crowds - a person who can know them better than they themseleves. I am damn sure our tropes would be - "Friends to lovers × angst bickering", "i don't understand why you but thank goodness it's you", grumpy × sunshine, soulmates/spiritually connected partners, "they know me better than i ever could myself", giver × giver, words of affirmations while motivating the other, biggest fan × lover, ride or die, one would have kids × other would embrace and love the kids, show stopper × show runner, excitable × calm, silly prankster × dark humor, etc.
I just wanted to do a brief review of it because I am still learning and I want to learn more about this in due time 🫂 thanks for checking this post out!
Astrology insights on health & more Pt 1.
*Personal observations & research, not from a professional opinion yet*
-> The body part ruled by Aries is the head. I would related this to the root chakra, Leading to how safe we feel in our environment and how we manage our energy levels. Depending on where you have your Aries placements, would show you which type of environment suits you to be more passionate and require you to be more assertive in order to help you take care of your energy. That's why it's important for people with Aries placements to calm down and don't end up being impulsive, embracing the energy of the root chakra (be authentic, safe and secure in your own presence and self).
--> Learning to assert your power, not overdoing it and making sure to engage in exercise to release/gain energy. Also make sure to keep your head in a place where you can connect with when things end up being imbalanced, and always come back to the basics when you feel lost. Your identity is always ever changing and dynamically growing. You might prefer to change your hairstyle according to your mood and like tattoos.
--> Aries placements are very ambitious with a competitive streak, but they need to remember that at the end of the day it's them who has to compete with themselves. People are not trying to put you down when they are in the same things as you. Do not let your ego and pride get the best of you, and do not take things out of anger in a way which ends up exploding, don't add injury to insult.
--> The tendency to be extreme is also present in these placements, so make sure to take this out in healthy ways.
--> Blood & Iron correspond well with Aries. Make sure to take care of your head in order for your energy to remain calm and stable, let your authenticity shine as you become your independent self. But remember to not let your head take the charge all the time. You are powerful when you let your power be shown in your stance.
--> The best way to take care of yourself is through exercising, exploring, being honest and open, taking charge of a project, and finding out your passions as you go after them.
--> Aries placements might have a big forehead if in sun position, big/defined chest if in moon, Their presence might be very powerful in a room if in ascendant position, etc.
Ex: Reese Witherspoon Is an Aries Sun in 9th house, so tendency of having a big forehead as mentioned, also she remains to be very wise, likes to speak from experience and has a philosophical approach to her work. Her movies like Legally Blond also always carry some humor but deep lessons about society as well. She might also have thick thighs as well, since works out and keeps her health maintained. There is also a glow about her, when she enters the "stage" (enters stardom with her own being), People feel a magnetic pull towards her. Like she is the one taking charge. Also why early in her career she came to the spotlight. Other examples are Simone Ashley, Robert Downey Jr. & Lady Gaga. For Aries moon, examples are off Tom Hiddleston, Daniel Radcliffe, Angelina Joule - tendency of being unafraid of how they appear and lead more with their heart & head.

i- this needs to be shared, no matter if you need it or not.
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!
FR GURLLL
Music
I think one of the most underrated topics when it comes to self-improvement is music. I mean it. No one really talks about it. And not in the “listen to classical/jazz music, go to the opera, become a cultured individual” way. In the “stop listening to music all the time” way.
And before jumping at conclusions, hear me out.
I am and I’ve always been a fan of music. I don’t have a type - I listen to everything that I like. I had so many phases - Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, kpop, depressive music (let’s keep it a secret ok). You name it, I’ve been there.
For about two years, I listened to music nonstop. Not in the “music is my life” way, but in the “let’s open spotify while I’m getting dressed up” kind of way. I was listening to music in the morning, after I woke up. I was listening while I was doing homework, while I was getting ready, while I was eating. All the time. And I liked it - it’s not like I was scrolling, right?
I only noticed everything two weeks ago, when I was in an awful mental state. I was feeling like the pressure was too much, like the world was too much. I couldn’t hear my thoughts. Why? Partly because of the music that I was listening to.
Music blocks the outside noise. It is an escaping mechanism, much like social media or watching series. It makes you numb, or happy, or sad, according to the lyrics and the beat. In the end, music is content.
Let’s get back to the story. After that, I decided to search about the effect music (with lyrics, especially) has on people, and here, loves, is what I discovered:
Dopamine Desensitization: Excessive listening to highly stimulating music can lead to dopamine over-release, causing temporary pleasure desensitization, where one needs more intense stimuli to feel pleasure. Eventually, you may find it harder to feel good without intense music. Over time, this can feel almost addictive.
Dependency on Music: As many people do (and I am no exception), you might be tempted to use music as a coping mechanism, a way to escape the reality or regulate your stress levels. Over the time, though, this dependency may hinder emotional self-regulation and negatively impact your mental resilience.
False Cure for Loneliness: Listening to music is often perceived as a “cure” for loneliness. You’ve probably experienced it. Songs are relatable - they talk about love, family, trauma and all that - and this the reason for the overconsumption. And loneliness, as we know, is the no. 1 cause of depression and mental illnesses. The thing is, which I hope you are aware of, the only cure for loneliness is meeting other people, socializing. Music makes you think everything is getting better. Well, no. Everything is getting worse.
Mood Manipulation: As well as music boosts your mood…it can always take it down. Let’s say you got a bad grade. You listen to depressive music. It feels good for a moment, right? Your feelings are validated. But then the trauma and the mommy issues come to light and that bad grade leads a feeling tsunami. Music won’t let you live in the present. Wake up, love.
Internalizing Negative Messages: As a note to no. 4, humans tend to mimic everything they see and understand. So when a song is telling you that no one will miss you when you’re gone or some other bs, you believe it, huh? Because you are human. You’ve heard of the subconscious mind - find some other posts about it and read (I don’t have any, but there are plenty on tumblr - you can even find articles so dive in).
Overstimulation. Your brain is fried. Why, love, why? You need music 24/7? No, what you need is a walk in the nature and a therapy session, not living in a world inside of your head. When you can’t hear your thoughts and all you can hear are the lyrics…it’s time to stop. Please.
Note: by any means, I am not telling you to quit listening to music. What I want you to understand is that you have to live the present and be aware of your own feelings, without being influences by the break-up song of whatever singer. What I did after I noticed all this: I switched to classical music. It rebuilt my focus, it helps me stay calm and relieve stress and I don’t have to deal with the drama. Now, feel free to choose your own path. Or even keep listening to music if you think you can manage it - but stay present. I’m telling you once again.
I hope this helps! Rya

Marriage and Aging - Planning for retirement as a couple
Marriage is a lifelong commitment, a partnership that evolves with time. As couples age, the prospect of retirement looms large, bringing with it a mix of excitement and apprehension. Planning for retirement is not just a financial endeavor but also an emotional and relational journey. In this article, we explore the essential aspects of planning for retirement as a couple, emphasizing the…

I went for a cozy walk today. It’s hot outside and I wanted to light a candle and walk in front of my tv so that’s what I did. I also downloaded this app that tracks your steps and you travel to fake Mordor, but I’m just using the free trial bc I haven’t decided if I want to buy the full version. With the trial you can only track one mile per day.
We tried to go for an outside walk after dinner but the halflings were being difficult and then we wound up getting in a conversation with our neighbors
Who doesn't love herbs? Nature has blessed us with our own healing fuel.
I kinda want to let some crazy crunchy granola health guru try to "fix" me, just to see if it'll work. Just be their project for like, a year or two. It would be a fun experiment, I think.
Never too late to perfect or start (gulity) those new year resolutions!! You've got it girls ☁️💙
Another successful walk today. The weather was gorgeous and there were so many people out! I didn't talk to any of them (I complimented one's dress), but it was nice to just be around them. I also saw a naked squirrel (might be a rat, but it was running with a bunch of other squirrels) and how nature can't be stopped from going where it wants to go.
I bought a scale, as well. I am now below 260 lbs and I am so excited! I am slowly getting to a healthy weight and getting away from diabetes. I know it's only been two walks, but I have to stay motivated, so sharing these moments feels good.
Remember, only you can make changes for yourself.
This is so average for most people, but for me... it's quite the difference (as you can see). I am a housewife, and I have a hard time motivating myself to do any kind of exercise, but today I walked. I walked and I enjoyed every moment listening to music in one ear and the frogs singing in the other.
The weather was perfect, and I felt so good about myself. Being outside in nature really cleared my head and I could breathe so easily with the fresh air. I feel so at peace, so calm and content. Fulfilled.
I am proud of myself for taking the first step. My hope is to do this at least 3 times a week, if not more. I would love to do it 5 times a week, but I know I need to start slow. My desire to get to a better weight and further from the diabetes that runs in my family is strong.
I want to be healthy, and I want to love my body.

miscellaneous study tips
do all readings, even the ones that are 'suggested' but not required. they were suggested for a reason.
get to class early. getting to class early gives you time to be prepared and ready to study. review your notes from the day before, lay out all your supplies, ask the teacher any lingering questions about the material.
your feet feel cold? put on socks. you feel thirsty? fill up your waterbottle and leave it beside you. make yourself comfortable whilst you are studying, or you will hate it.
if you can't find the motivation to get to work on something, force yourself to pick it up for just two minutes. you're very likely to continue.

What do I do when no one believes I’m tired
I’ve been tired my whole life but recently it’s amped up as I am taking summer school and have been in boarding school for the past year.I don’t know what to do, my parents are disappointed that I don’t want to go out but I am so tired that I just cant.I’ve also been having migraines caused by this tiredness. I’ve tried sleeping more, eating less/more, taking Tylenol, etc and I still can’t seem to stop them. The summer course I’m taking is very stress full, but is similar to the pressure I had at boarding school. At boarding school I’d go to sleep at 12:00 and wake up at 7:30, and now I’m going to sleep at 11:00 and waking up at 8:00 and I’m still so tired. My body is so sore, it feels like it’s caving in on itself and I can’t do anything to stop it. What do I do to make it stop?

Slow progress is still progress, dammit
It's been a hot second (i.e. an ungodly amount of time) since I posted anything to do with my third and final AoD-sequel novel. Suffice to say I'm genuinely uncomfortable talking about the progress – or lack thereof – of WIPs, especially when they've been WIPs for so long they've started sprouting little purple tendrils and have knotted together into a Lovecraftian horror under the sink.
This is in no small part because of my ongoing health issues. Privacy is very important to me, but it's also no secret that I'm disabled with multiple chronic conditions. I'd hoped, back at the launch of Path of the Black Alchemist in the summer of 2023, to have wrapped up this project and published the final book by Christmas. Or at least spring 2024. Or the next Christmas for certain.
Life, of course, has had other ideas...
The important thing is that the third book IS coming and I AM making progress – even though at times it feels so unbearably slow that it's in danger of being overtaken by hibernating snails. It's no coincidence that part of Lara Croft's arc in this story is about coming to terms with her limitations and accepting/offering help; a huge part of my own life's journey has involved deconstructing my internalised ableism and learning that it's okay – even necessary – to embrace support from others. We're so conditioned to be perfect little self-sufficient, independent individuals that reaching out during hard times can automatically make us feel like a failure.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth... as Lara finds out the hard way.
Another factor of this challenge is trying to reach out more online. To connect and grow with other creative minds. Hence, this post. Fatigue/energy limitations are a HUGE part of my daily life, so setting spoons aside purely for this is a Big Deal (TM) for me. Tumblr feels like a safer, more welcoming place to write more of these long-form musings than other SM platforms, so we'll see. It's counterproductive for me to make grandious promises about posting every day, or even every week, but it'd be cool to reach out more and try to open up a little after so long retreating into myself these past few years.
I'm also considering (but haven't yet committed to) sharing my works over on AoE. On the one hand, it's more work in the short term. But on the other, I'm seeing a lot of engagement and encouragement in the AoE community even here on Tumblr. Those of you who use it regularly: what would you recommend?

10 Simple Tips for Caring for Your Heart.
The heart, a tireless worker at the core of our well-being, demands our attention and care. As we navigate through Heart Health Month this February, let’s explore ten simple yet impactful tips to ensure our hearts thrive. These practices, ranging from physical activity to laughter and dental hygiene, collectively contribute to a holistic approach to cardiovascular wellness.
1.Cardiovascular Exercise: A Heart’s Best Friend
Engaging in regular cardiovascular or aerobic activities is fundamental for heart health. Following the American Heart Association’s recommendations of 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise weekly can significantly boost cardiorespiratory fitness. Activities such as running, cycling, or brisk walking not only elevate heart rate but also enhance overall cardiovascular function. The rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles during exercise contribute to improved blood flow and reduced strain on the heart.
2.Embrace a Smoke-Free Lifestyle
Quitting smoking is a paramount step in safeguarding your heart. Smoking damages both the heart and blood vessels, escalating the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, avoiding second-hand smoke is crucial, as it has been linked to heart attacks and strokes. The harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke lead to the narrowing of blood vessels, increasing the workload on the heart and elevating the risk of high blood pressure.

How Does The Drug Got Excreted / Eliminated From The Body?
Drug excretion is an important process in pharmacology, encompassing the elimination of pharmaceutical substances from the body. While the ultimate elimination of all drugs is inevitable, the specific pathways involved can vary significantly. Some drugs undergo extensive metabolic transformations before being excreted, while others are expelled from the body in their original form.
The kidneys play a central role in excreting water-soluble substances, effectively filtering them from the bloodstream. Meanwhile, the biliary system handles drugs that remain unabsorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, providing an alternative route for elimination. Although excretion through auxiliary channels such as the intestines, saliva, sweat, breast milk, and lungs is typically minimal, certain volatile anesthetics and residual drug traces in breast milk can have notable impacts, particularly on vulnerable populations such as infants.
Renal excretion constitutes a significant portion of drug elimination, accounting for approximately 20% of the plasma that is filtered through the glomeruli. While most water and electrolytes are reabsorbed back into circulation, polar compounds like drug metabolites are excreted predominantly in urine. However, it’s important to note that renal excretion tends to decrease with age, necessitating careful dosage adjustments for elderly patients to mitigate potential adverse effects.
Numerous factors influence the process of renal excretion, including the extent of protein binding, the degree of drug ionization affecting reabsorption rates, fluctuations in urine pH that can alter excretion dynamics, and the impact of metabolic inhibitors on tubular secretion mechanisms.
Biliary elimination, on the other hand, occurs when drugs traverse the biliary epithelium via active transport mechanisms. However, this process is not without limitations, as transporter saturation can impose constraints on drug excretion rates. Typically, larger molecules containing polar and lipophilic groups are excreted through bile, while smaller molecules tend to favor renal elimination pathways.
In addition to renal and biliary routes, drugs may also be eliminated to varying extents through auxiliary pathways such as saliva, tears, feces, sweat, and exhalation. While the quantities eliminated through these routes are generally minimal, drug excretion in breast milk can pose significant concerns for lactating mothers, potentially exposing nursing infants to pharmacological agents.
Understanding the pharmacokinetic parameters governing drug excretion is paramount for optimizing therapeutic regimens and minimizing the risk of adverse effects. Key parameters include the rate of elimination, clearance, elimination rate constant, and biologic half-life for drugs undergoing first-order elimination kinetics.
In conclusion, drug excretion represents a broad process influenced by a myriad of factors, necessitating comprehensive consideration to ensure the safe and efficacious use of pharmacotherapy.

ORGANS OF EXCRETION
Excretion, a fundamental process in living organisms, plays a critical role in maintaining internal equilibrium and ensuring the efficient removal of waste products. This detailed discussion will involve deeper into the importance of excretion, the organs involved, their functions, and their contributions to overall health and homeostasis.
Importance of Excretion
Excretion is essential for the survival of all living organisms, from single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms like humans. It involves the elimination of metabolic waste products, toxins, and excess substances that accumulate within the body. By removing these waste materials, excretion helps regulate the internal environment, ensuring optimal conditions for cellular function and metabolic processes. Without effective excretory mechanisms, the buildup of waste products would lead to toxicity, impaired physiological function, and ultimately, organismal death.
Organs of Excretion
The human body employs a variety of organs for excretion, each with its own specialized functions and mechanisms for waste elimination. These organs include the skin, liver, large intestine, lungs, and kidneys. While some organs primarily eliminate specific types of waste products, others have multifunctional roles in metabolism, digestion, and detoxification, in addition to excretion.
1. Skin
The skin, the body’s largest organ, serves as a multifunctional barrier between the internal and external environments. In addition to its protective role, the skin participates in excretion through the production of sweat by sweat glands located in the dermis. Sweat, composed of water, salts, and urea, is released through sweat pores onto the skin’s surface, where it evaporates and helps regulate body temperature. Sweating also facilitates the elimination of metabolic wastes, toxins, and excess salts from the body, contributing to overall homeostasis.
2. Liver
The liver, a vital organ located in the upper right abdomen, is involved in numerous metabolic processes, including digestion, detoxification, and the synthesis of essential molecules. As part of its excretory function, the liver processes and eliminates various waste products and toxins from the bloodstream. It metabolizes ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism, into urea, a less toxic compound that is excreted by the kidneys in urine. Additionally, the liver excretes bilirubin, a waste product of heme metabolism, into bile, which is then eliminated from the body through the feces.
3. Large Intestine
The large intestine, the final segment of the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in the absorption of water and electrolytes from undigested food residues. In addition to its role in digestion and water reabsorption, the large intestine serves as a site for the accumulation and elimination of solid waste materials. Bile pigments, such as bilirubin, are excreted into the gastrointestinal tract via bile and eventually eliminated in feces, contributing to the characteristic color of stool.
4. Lungs
The lungs, the primary organs of respiration, also play a role in excretion by removing gaseous waste products, such as carbon dioxide, from the bloodstream. During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct and transported via the bloodstream to the lungs for elimination. Through the process of gas exchange in the alveoli, carbon dioxide is expelled from the body during exhalation, helping to regulate blood pH and maintain acid-base balance.
5. Kidneys
The kidneys are often regarded as the primary organs of excretion in the human body, responsible for filtering waste products and excess substances from the bloodstream and producing urine for elimination. Each kidney contains millions of functional units called nephrons, which play a crucial role in the filtration, reabsorption, and secretion of various substances. Nephrons filter blood to remove waste products, such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid, while reabsorbing essential nutrients and maintaining electrolyte balance. The resulting urine is then transported from the kidneys to the urinary bladder via the ureters and excreted from the body through the urethra during urination.
6. Urinary System
The kidneys, along with the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra, collectively form the urinary system, which functions to transport, store, and eliminate urine from the body. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, where it is stored until it is expelled from the body through the urethra. The urinary system plays a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, electrolyte concentration, and pH regulation within the body, thereby supporting overall homeostasis and physiological function.
Conclusion
In conclusion, excretion is a vital process that enables living organisms to eliminate waste products and maintain internal balance. Through the coordinated efforts of various organs, including the skin, liver, large intestine, lungs, and kidneys, the body effectively removes metabolic wastes, toxins, and excess substances, thereby supporting overall health and homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms of excretion and the roles of excretory organs is essential for appreciating the complexity of physiological regulation and the interconnection of bodily systems. By studying excretory processes, researchers and healthcare professionals can gain insights into disease mechanisms, develop therapeutic interventions, and promote optimal health and well-being.
