If You're Comfortable With It, Can You Possibly Answer All/some Of These For Your Ask Game? (NGL, Some

If you're comfortable with it, can you possibly answer all/some of these for your Ask Game? 🐦‍🔥 🔑 🌟 🦜 ⚡️🦅 (NGL, some of these are things I can relate to, for better and worse! 😂)

Hi, Hope you're doing well 🌼

Thank you for the questions. I would love to hear your take on these too.

🔑 What’s something you’ve learned about yourself in the past year?

That's I'm weak and some wounds might never go away completely, but I'm okay with it. The human heart is a resilient thing 🫀

Another one is that I have the capability to let go of something that previously I thought I would never be able to do so myself, unless some outside events forced me to do it.

🌟 If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be?

I'd say keep on going, the future is always better. One piece of advice I really wanted to tell my younger self is don't seek approval from people, even those close to you. They might not really want to hinder or restrict you, but everyone is different. Some can't see or accept a different point of view. Their rejection doesn't mean you're doing something wrong.

🦜 Do you suffer from imposter syndrome and how do you deal with it?

I do, all the time 🫠. I have had self-confidence issues since I was a child. External validations couldn't elevate it because I'm the one being hard on myself. I figured out that this issue goes hand in hand with a feeling of self-importance, an expectation, that I should be someone doing something important, that I should always be able to keep up the "good position" that I'm in, but the fact is I'm just a normal, average person. It's fine to be an ordinary person.

The way I deal with it is to be confident in knowing that whatever I do, no matter how good I am at it, I would still feel that imposter syndrome, so I just do it anyway, in the best way I can, no matter how I feel about it inside. A part of myself can just sit in the corner and worry while another part just does whatever it wants 😂. The result always turns out better than I thought. And if someday people do find out that I'm disappointing just like I dreaded then I just have to do better then.

🐦‍🔥 What’s a belief you once held that you no longer do?

That's friendships can last forever, once you're friends, you stay friends forever. When I was a teen, I really believed that. But this belief created laziness, I didn't realise how much effort was needed to maintain a connection. And people change, drift apart, and finally fade from each other's lives.

🦅 What does personal growth mean to you, and how do you pursue it?

For me, personal growth means the increase of self-awareness. The assumption that I know myself completely is a false one. The best way to know myself is to observe myself in different situations and environments. And journaling, lots of journaling.

I find the names of The Southern Reach Trilogy's 3 novels by Jeff VanderMeer are really fitting for the journey of self-awareness. (Brilliant novels btw, the writing is phenomenal)

Annihilation, Authority, Acceptance

Those three states, annihilation of the old and false self, authority over the self, acceptance of the self.

⚡️How do you honor your boundaries?

I state them clearly, seriously. If they are violated, I will remove myself from the situation or the people who caused it. Or at least avoid them as much as possible. Having a calm and serious attitude is usually enough for people around me to respect my boundaries. Basically this is my face 😐. The more triggered you act, the more likely they want to advance further into your boundaries.

Adventures in deep-sea parasailing 🪂

This tiny jelly was playing host to an even tinier hyperiid amphipod when our remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts spotted them at 571 meters (over 1,800 feet) deep.

Nearly all hyperiids have some relationship with other gelatinous midwater organisms. These interactions, known as symbiosis, can be friendly and not-so-friendly. In different types of symbiosis, mutualism is when both animals benefit, while commensalism is when one benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. But when a parasite eats its host, it’s definitely not a harmonious alliance. Whether the animal is hitchhiking to move around, hiding from predators, or just finding a better home, these connections help life in the deep thrive.

Use your 3rd house & Mercury for manifestation

Finding your own manifestation method that gives consistent results, at a consistent frequency is peak life magic for me.

My manifestation method is called "Written coloured words on calendar". I have a theory that since Mercury is associated with The Magician in Tarot, it has something to do with manifesting, especially by using verbal or written words. Mercury will help manifesting the themes of the house that it rules. While the energy of the planet that rules your 3rd house will be the tool to communicate and express your messages.

Do give it a try and tell me if it's effective for you too. If you have your own manifestation method, feel free to spread the magic.

1. What you need

Coloured pens (the colour of the ink of the pen or the lead if you are using pencils, not the colour of the case)

A calendar that has space to write on (other things like a piece of paper or notebook don't work)

Basic astrology knowledge & your chart: you should know what planet rules your 3rd house and what house does Mercury rule in your chart

2. How I do it

The colour: Choose the pen with the colour that matches the colour associated with the planet that rules your 3rd house.

The phrase: I write "I want/need change" with that coloured pen around the space of the present day on the calendar. The phrase should be short, with a broad meaning, conveys the matters related to the house that Mercury rules in your chart. Don't be too specific like I want a red dress or I want 100$, start with general terms like asking for changes, surprises, chances, opportunities, helps, guidance.

Timing: the manifestation will happen within the next week, without fail, this is how it worked for me, the speed might depend on the planet that rules your 3rd house.

Example of how it works: I have Mercury rules my 3rd house & 6th house so it can be straightforward, whenever I wrote "I want change" with green (colour of Mercury) pen on the calendar, within the next week, a new business partnership/offer & more works (3rd & 6th house matters) appeared, I met someone new who would have Gemini or Virgo or both placements in their chart, who I would do business with, work with, travel with or became my friend (3rd & 6th house matters).

*Notes:

So you won't be able to manifest other things related to different houses & planets other than 3rd house and Mercury? → Most likely, I've tried with different houses & planets but it usually had short-term effect or no observable effect, while 3rd house and Mercury gave more long-term effects.

Each manifestation works only once, if you want it to happen again, you will need to write again.

3. Colours associated with each planet & their effect

Here is the list of effects I have observed through the years practising this. It can change depending on your chart though, try to experiment with each one yourself.

Yellow - Sun: Joyful events

Grey - Moon: No observable effect

Green - Mercury: Business, friendships, partnerships (strongest manifestation power, at least for me)

Pink - Venus: Interactions, pleasant exchanges

Red - Mars, Black - Pluto: Immediate unpleasant effects like traffic problems, meeting people in bad moods, troubles with machines, things become more hectic

Navy - Saturn, Blue - Uranus, Teal - Neptune : No observable effect

Purple - Neptune/Jupiter : Increase or decrease of interactions with people, can give rise to popularity but can also slow down your progress (I haven't really figured out this one yet)

Orange - Jupiter: Chances to expand your perspective, be more brave, test your resolution and faith. Some events can be negative at first but will turn out alright, after that you will learn some valuable lessons.

About me | Masterpost

I had a dream the previous day, an old lady was reading Tarot for me about my future spouse 😂 . I don't particularly like the idea of marriage, but anyway, the lady took out 2 cards, the Ace of cups and the Knight of cups, she said that my fs will be very good looking, BUT, there will be a problem. I asked her what's the problem, just when she was about to tell me, I looked at my watches and told her it's late so I should be going, without listening to what she had to say, self sabotaging much?🙃

If I ever have a spouse and they have the qualities of Ace of cups and Knight of cups, and are good looking, let's this post be a reminder or a warning 🤞

"The ride into the village was so beautiful. Enormous mossy roofs of houses, stables, covered sheepfolds, barns. The very broad-fronted houses here are set among oak trees of a superb bronze. Tones in the moss of gold-green, in the ground of reddish or bluish or yellowish dark lilac-greys, tones of inexpressible purity in the green of the little cornfields, tones of black in the wet tree trunks, standing out against the golden rain of swirling, teeming autumn leaves, which hang in loose clumps - as if they had been blown there, loose and with the light filtering through them - from the poplars, the birches, the limes and the apple trees.

The sky smooth and bright, shining, not white but a barely detectable lilac, white vibrant with red, blue and yellow, reflecting everything and felt everywhere above one, hazy and merging with the thin mist below, fusing everything in a gamut of delicate greys."
