Paulus (4th century CE) says the Lot of Necessity “makes subordinates and anxieties and conflicts and battles, also enmities and hatred and condemnations and all other violent things befalling men in the course of life.”[1] Rhetorius (6th century CE) similarly writes that Necessity “signifies anguish and wars and hatred and judicial sentences and all other violent actions happening to men.”[2] Sahl bin Bishr (9th century CE) calls this the Lot of Enemies and offers delineations as to the nature and effectiveness of one’s enemies based on where the Lot is placed.[3] The common theme here is enemies and the things they do to you or the trouble they cause you, be that mental (as in the case of anxieties and anguish), legal (as in lawsuits and judicial sentences), or physical (as in war or conflict). I would also argue the condemnations mentioned by Paulus can also include things like slander and gossip...

Preview of my article on the Lot of Necessity, coming Tuesday to the Ibis Nest

It includes case studies from real people who graciously agreed to share their stories to help illuminate how activations of this Lot can look for everyday people (not celebrities!)

Omg the perpetual woe of all Greek learners hehe. Rooting for you 🔥🔥🤙😈

Extra prevalent if it’s backed by an authoritarian religious structure.

If you teach children that might = right, you’re going to get adults who behave that way.

I will always blame the normalization of authoritarian parenting in our culture as a root cause for so many issues in this world.

There’s literal evidence of the people who were most susceptible to becoming N*zis were the ones who grew up in an authoritarian household.

Okay so it’s very clear Trump wants to give Zohran the glock glock 9000 the way he gave Bubba… right?

NOT THIS LMAO

Right?! So weird. Why do this when so many h*rny people willing to do it for free online are right there.

Increasingly dystopian lol.

Gross Venus Libra, Pluto, Uranus grand trine bullshit.

I saw the title and said “immediately, yes.” for the workout podcast listen lol. It’s Mars day praxis!

My chest day listen at the gym! Already so into the tarot deepdive 🔥 also @8ofpentacles.bsky.social coming in with the historical overview 🤌

I’m so glad you found use for them 🖤🙏 fills my heart with joy

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Thank you so much 🖤🖤 and yes hehe guilty as charged lol. 3 placements in Libra 😜

Thank you so much! So ready for the 5H year 🔥🔥🔥

Today’s my birthday. Very grateful for this life and the people I’ve met along the way. 28 feels good. If I or my work has impacted you I’d love to know about it. 🖤🙏

Let’s not let leftist infighting cloud our judgement and attention on the real fight at hand. It’s in fact, a terrible coalition-building strategy given the current context.

Leftists need to not get distracted with the anti-Hasan train. It’s not strategic and dilberately distracting to more important POLITICAL ISSUES happening and very* self-defeating to waste energy on fighting a prominent progressive voice.

Accessing pleasure with Venus in Virgo can often mean being honest about what gives you the ick lol.

Like if one’s stomach is upset, or restless/nervous about engaging socially, you’re less likely to have a good time.
A fallen Venus’ love language is when sensitivities are… respected.

Pope Leo rebukes climate skeptics after Trump calls warming a ‘con job’ The Illinois native’s comments come a week after the U.S. president derided the fight against climate change.

Pope Leo XIV denounced people who deny climate change today, arguing that they are contributing to the destruction of God's creation.

Pisces really will just hand you a potion or substance and ask you to partake of it at random.

“Socially liberal, fiscally conservative”
And it’s the worst person you’ve met in your life lmaoo.

I agree. I think they are greedy and bad, and deeply imbalanced in their expressions, which was the point of the post.

Perhaps it’s not productive to argue minutia with people who are on your side. My chosen mode of communicating makes room for the figurative + you’re free to use other language 👍

I think that is true if you look at recent history. Indigenous ways of living and more ancient societies deeply stressed the importance to live in natural balance with the land as to avoid the consequent destruction that comes when any* species gets too greedy.

You’re free to think that. Please enlighten us with a better one! I think it’s a pretty good analogy, but open to feedback (if in good faith and not annoyingly pedantic).

Omg you’re getting into 3D? Ive always wanted to learn Blender

Thank you so much, Andrew! These look great! 🙏🔥

Dodekatemoria: Libra of Libra

A title and poem describing the Dodek of Libra of Libra, the first 2° 30' of the sign of Libra.

When a group of cells in a body decides that their survival supersedes the needs of the rest of the system, draining all resources until eventual death, we call that a cancer*… and it’s a tragedy.

But somehow so many do not see that this is exactly what b*llion*ires do.

I don’t disagree! My point stands.
