Expect your luck to increase babes
Jupiter entered its exaltation, Cancer, yesterday.
To understand this yearlong transit, let's first understand the sign of the Crab π§΅
Here is a list of noteworthy books that are directed towards the #LGBTQ+ community. I tried to not go overboard so I kept it down to the ones I have actually read or been introduced to. I did not intentionally leave anyone off of this list. Feel free to add more to the comments section!
If you're a NERD, you may be interested in the script for the most recent video at the link below.
There, you'll find a detailed bibliography and in-line citations.

A white person's light pink fingers gold a fine silver pendant with a triangular bail on a sterling steel chain. The pendant is round and a little larger than a quarter with a bright silver border and sigil of Lucifer both rising up from the recesses of the pendant. The recesses have a dark gray patina from liver of sulfur.
A white person's light pink fingers hold a copper pendant with a triangular bail on a black sterling steel chain. The pendant is round and a little larger than a quarter with a bright copper border and seal of Babalon both rising up from the recesses of the pendant. The recesses have a dark brown-black patina from liver of sulfur.

A dimly-lit modern shrine of HermΔs, with a statue of the god surrounded by four tealights lit and sticks of incense burning in front with various offerings and other shrine paraphernalia about.
Hail, Lord HermΔs, as your heavenly body of StilbΕn in its chariot rides into the light-shining heart of HΔlios!
Looking for something to recite for the Mercury cazimi (exact in just a few hours, 00:13 US-EDT)? Give my "Hymn to HermΔs SΕtΔr" (the Savior) a whirl!

Queer babes. Iβve got a special offering for pride to hold our grief and honor our pleasure this Pride. There will also be a collective erotic ritual for queer resistance during our time together.
Come & Cry starts Sunday! Iβd love to have you there.

Have y'all registered for this free workshop on May 31st? Grab a spot now and share with your friends! Lets talk about how to root fascism out of our communities.
My Patreon is up! The link is in my Linktree.
Let's face it, though "Three Books" has been a great success, metaphysical books don't usually earn a living wage unless you crank them out. I hope this Patreon can free me up more from my dayjob life & free me up for writing. More time = better books.
Like Inanna, wear your worth unapologetically. Your scars, your fire, your softness are all sacred. The world may call you "too much," but remember that systems of oppression fear those who embrace their wholeness.
My thought for affect as a noun (thanks psychology degrees, I guess): An affect has 2As because emotions rarely occur one at a time.
I find myself in Seattle with the afternoon free after finishing with a client. I could try to head back South before traffic gets worse, but I'm also hungry and don't completely feel like just going home. Hmmmm...
Cover for Venus Retrograde and Queer History episode. Includes pride flag and headshots of Elly and Chris. Episode 485 of the Astrology Podcast
Still in total disbelief but earlier this week I recorded an episode of @astrologypodcast.bsky.social
I am beyond honored to say that I got to join the incredible Chris Brennan and share some of the research that Iβve been doing over the last year on this Venus Retrograde and queer history!
A white candle burning in a wooden bowl filled with dried pomanders surrounding a small bowl of wine. Incense burns in front in a wooden holder. Two small wooden hands make sacred gestures on either side.
Happy Sun exaltation day!
Not complaining, just baffled.
Got an email on Friday that my business license was renewed, but I didn't renew it! (I should have a while ago, apparently... thanks, adhd.)
My online account hadn't been logged in to since July of last year (until I just did now), so did someone go in and renew it for me? Fluke of the system? Wtf?

Also if you desire to aid in my recovery the fond comments of readers convert directly into the Most Powerful Medicine
what people think astrology is: "your career is heating up this week!"
what astrology actually is: "on a moon-mars conjunction in cancer, sign of the boob, I found an actual splinter in my nipple and it was mildly upsetting"
Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!
Hey there, cis friends.
Please, please read this thread.
The current regime is coming for trans healthcare. All of it.
If you want to support us, that starts with knowing that they're lying to you, and HOW they're lying to you. This will help.
Thank you.
Skull Scrying, even, but... close enough.
The piles on the windowsill next to my bed. A combo of my most recent acquisitions and current research/study, as I do most of my reading and research from my bed. Top book on the left is Skull Skrying by Lupa.
I'm really wanting a bookshelf headboard to get these off the windowsill.

We of the Temple of Inanna wish you all a wonderful Pilipili Day! On this day we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility, along with Inanna's steadfast endorsement and love of us transgender people. Pilipili is the name of an ancient transgender man who Inanna transformed and protected. Inanna Zami!
Also also me: waiting until tomorrow when the moon is out of Aries before feeling done with eclipse time. And knowing Neptune and Saturn are about to come through.
Though the nodes being out of Aries/Libra for a while (since January) already turned the volume down on the nodal return experience.
Me: Glad to be done with eclipses on my Moon and natal nodal axis!
Also me: Now to get through through these eclipses on my Ascendant and L4/L7... yay?
There are many folks who are! A few published works that come to mind immediately are the three anthologies from revelore.press that focus on magical resistance: The New Aradia, The Gorgon's Guide, and Serpents of Circe. The first was published in 2018 and a response the politics of that moment.
still plugging away at this, my wife is 60% of the way to her goal but has hit a bit of a plateau, sharing really helps even if you canβt donate. thanks yβall π€
