☉ Solar Specialness •  Where one “shines” or feels unique even excessively so e.g Sun in the 4th; the family revolved around the indvidual, so one expects it be the same in relationships outside of a familial context, Virgo sun; The helping hand is often praised, so one’s philosophy is to extend this gifted hand to others, even when not needed, useful in the given circumstance, or wanted
☽ Lunar Soul Stressors • What disrupts the emotional condition, telling of detrimental habits or coping mechanisms e.g Libra moon; Feels pressured to mediate when faced with conflict even if having nothing to do with them, in order to rid the feeling of unsettledness; moon in the 8th; one’s focus on controlling their emotions and self punishment when not followed can be the very cause of destructive cycles 
☿ Mercurial Mischief •  What makes one’s logical mind turn to irrational concepts, telling of what makes one’s tongue loose e.g Aries mercury; innocent or neutral tones are interpreted as aggressive and one engages in arguments on this assumption, Mercury in the 9th; One’s experiences are regarded as universal so can often occupy conversations discussing personal anecdotes 
♀ Venusian Vanity • Indulgence impulse or desiring persons no good for them despite consequences e.g Venus in the 12th; falls for those who are unavailable or expect healing, Gemini Venus; splurges based on interests, which come and go as quickly as a blink

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.

Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.

I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.

When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.

So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

poor people deserve things they want, too. it is unfair to expect poor people to only buy things they “need”.

My grandfather used to tell me: if you only have 20 kr left, you buy grocery for 10 kr and flowers for the other 10 kr because you need a reason to live as well.

We are not machines and an unmet need is an unmet need.

Advertisers must convince young women that they are in need of constant improvement without threatening young women’s views of themselves as intelligent, self-directed, and equal. Buzz words like “empowerment,” “self-determination,” and “independence” are sprinkled liberally across their pages. But this seemingly progressive rhetoric is used to sell products and ideas that keep girls doing gender in appropriately feminine ways, leading them to reproduce, rather than challenge, gender hierarchies. An ad for a depilatory cream, for instance, tells girls that they are “unique, determined, and unstoppable,” so they should not “settle… for sandpaper skin.” Feminist demands for political and economic equality—and the refusal to settle for low-wages, violence, and second-class citizenship—morph into a refusal to settle for less than silky skin. Pseudo-feminist language allows young women to believe that they can “empower” themselves at the checkout counter by buying the accoutrements of traditional femininity.
