Astro Observations part 5!

Hello everybody, I'm back with more astro observations! Take note these are based on my personal observations, so take them with a pinch of salt!

Actors with Cancer Sun can act the bad guy surprisingly well! Especially characters with a lot of depth and have experienced a lot of pain, these actors are able to play them well. E.g Kim Bum as Lee Rang in Tale of the Nine Tailed.

I feel like it's the same for Pisces Sun actors, e.g Ji Sung in Doctor John.

Lilith in the 4H can also indicate other people having problems with your family. My father has 4H Lilith and my mother dislikes his family a lot. (It could be for no reason as well)

10H Lilith are very intimidating, they can especially intimidate others with their words even if if they're actually friendly. People have a tendency to find them authoritative.

Mars in Virgo are so good at roasting LOL

Fire sun or fire in big three with cancer mars can indicate someone with bad anger issues. E.g Aries sun with cancer mars can repress anger until they explode.

Sag rising can be pretty lonely or isolate themselves sometimes.

Scorpio and Aquarius as a couple is very uncommon but it can actually work out I swear- just look at WWX and LWJ (mdzs)

Medusa in the third house can indicate somebody who can hurt others easily with their words. (Intentionally)

Aquarius placements could be fascinated by apocalyptic scenarios, e.g zombie apocalypses.

1H Venus might not have "conventional" beauty, but they still look very beautiful in a way.

People could tend to attract others with the same 1H as them or people with their dominant sign being the sign in their 1H. E.g Moon 1H attract other Moon 1H or Moon dominants.

2H placements might not have had financial stability when young, things could have been withheld from them as well.

Libra MC can sometimes manage multiple businesses!

Gemini and cancer placements in a chart can make somebody very moody, I've noticed that they are especially moody in the mornings.

Undeveloped Gemini with 9h placements can indicate somebody who cannot take anything seriously at all.

Jupiter conj Ascendant can make the native have a very warm and bright smile, even if they usually look intimidating when they smile it's very beautiful.

Libra / 7H moons can really enjoy the company of others. Very supportive of their close ones!

Y'all already know this but 3H mars with fire placements or 6H placements makes somebody very argumentative, they will argue and you can't even have the opportunity to explain yourself.

Undeveloped 4H moons are very overbearing.

Pluto 1H can attract a lot of people who don't have any planets in their 1H.

@hillarysss mentioned this in one of her astro questions and I agree. 11H placements can get into drama with friend groups easily. I have a friend who has 2 planets in 11h and she was randomly added to a gc talking smack about her when she didn't do anything.

A mix of Capricorn and Aquarius in a chart with no Fire can make somebody very cold or be seen as "boring"

Scorpio Venus can be quite fierce people.

That's all I have for today, I hope this was alright! 💐

Hey bestie!!❤️How are you?😊. Would you like to spill all the tea about my natal chart

Have a wonderful day and take care❤️

Love from India❤️🇮🇳

Hey! I’m doing great thank you, I hope you are well also🥰

(Please bear in mind I am no professional astrologer, this is just my hobby) :)

Medusa 1st house - appearance wise you may have noticeable and beautiful hair. It may be thick and/or curly

Pisces Uranus 7h - you may be attracted to people who society sees as unconventional or odd. Also maybe artistic types who are mysterious but stand out from the crowd

Sun conjunct Saturn 11h - you are wise and mature. Being in the 11th house, friends may see you as the ‘mum friend’, and the friend who is hardworking, responsible and mature

Moon conjunct Jupiter 2h - you are funny. You like to make people smile and you do so well. Your emotional well-being may rely on how financially stable you are and you may enjoy spending money on beauty related items (Libra influence

Venus conjunct mercury in Leo 12h - you enjoy art and perhaps theatrics. You may keep this side of yourself hidden from others.

Gemini mc at 4 degrees - you may choose/be interested in a career involving writing, journalism, media. You may also work with children, or mothers. The public may see you as a witty, nervous/anxious and emotional person

This was my first ask! :0

I hope this resonated with you in some way. ❤️

Margot Robbie • Libra Moon ♎ or Scorpio Moon ♏?

The Venusian Siren 🌹💘🌺

Taurus Rising • Venus in 2nd • Libra Moon ✨

Margot Robbie is a 1st Decan Taurus Rising, IMO. [01:33 - 01:43 A.M.]. She’s sensuous, wholesome & down to earth, a vision of strength & satisfaction. To amplify her seductive aura even more; her ASC ruler is in the 2nd; extremely sensually alluring. Mars is aspecting her ASC, this makes her very sexy, strait-forward & enterprising. Margot is very similar in appearance to Gigi Hadid! (Taurus Rising). 💖💋💅

Sun conj. Jupiter; her personality is generous, expansive & optimistic. In the 3H; it makes her extroverted, bubbly & very talkative. Libra Moon gives her elegance & sophistication. In the 7H; she’s relationship oriented & values partnerships a lot. [Margot is very high in demand, she could’ve dated a bunch of men, on/off]. Margot has 2 T-Squares! (triangles). She is very driven & ambitious. Aquarius MC; most well known for eccentric & outrageous roles (Harley Quinn). Margot has 2 interesting asteroids prominent. Amor conj. her Sun; {radiating warmth & love}. + Medusa conj. MC ruler; [PUBLIC IMAGE] - {captivating attractiveness, magnetic siren, raw sexuality}. ✨🌹💘

Where is Amor [1221] & Medusa [149] in your chart? 💘🌺✨

02.09.2018 - This is a personal opinion. 💖

Gemini History

Gemini is one of the 12 zodiac constellations, and it is located in the northern celestial hemisphere. The constellation of Gemini is among the 88 modern constellations, and it is associated with the twins, Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology.

for more info...

https://theastrologyzodiacsigns.com/history/gemini

Key Facts & Summary

Gemini was among the 48 ancient constellations first listed by astronomer Ptolemy, in his 2nd century Almagest.

The zodiacal constellation of Gemini remains one of the 88 modern constellations, being the 30th largest in the sky, occupying an area of 514 square degrees.

The name Gemini comes from Latin, and it translates to twins. The constellation is associated with the mythological twin's Castor and Pollux in Greek mythology.

The brightest star’s in Gemini bear the twin’s name, with Pollux being the brightest star in the constellation with an apparent magnitude of 1.14, while Castor is the second-brightest at 1.93.

Pollux is the closest giant star to us, situated at only 34 light-years away, and it also has an exoplanet orbiting around it. Pollux is also the 18th brightest star in the night sky.

Castor is the 23rd brightest star in the night sky, and it is actually a star system comprised out of two A-class main-sequence stars, an Am star, and three other stars.

Currently, around 8 stars have been confirmed to host planets in Gemini.

There is only one Messier object in the constellation of Gemini, the open cluster Messier 35.

Two meteor showers are associated with Gemini, the Geminids, and the Rho Geminids.

Other noteworthy stars in Gemini are Alhena, Wasat, Mebsuta, Mekbuda, Propus, Kappa Geminorum, Nu Geminorum, 38 Geminorum, U Geminorum, or Tejat.

Several interesting deep-sky objects are present in Gemini, such as the Eskimo Nebula, the Medusa Nebula, the Jellyfish Nebula, or the open cluster NGC 2158, and neutron star Geminga.

The zodiacal constellation of Gemini is among the first constellations listed by the Greco-Roman astronomer, Ptolemy. In Greek mythology, the constellation of Gemini was associated with the twin's Castor and Pollux.

Even the name, Gemini, translates to twins, from Latin. The mythological twins were the children of Leda, a Spartan queen, and they are also associated with the Argonauts.

Pollux was the son of Zeus, who seduced Leda, while Castor was the son of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta and Leda’s husband. When Castor, the mortal brother, died, Pollux begged his father Zeus to give his brother immortality, and Zeus did so, uniting them in the heavens.

The two brightest stars in Gemini, Pollux, and Castor are often associated with many tales of brothers. Gemini is the northernmost of the zodiacal constellations and among the brightest.

Location

The zodiacal constellation of Gemini is the 30th largest constellation in the sky. Gemini spreads out for over 514 square degrees. The constellation of Gemini is located in the northern hemisphere, lying in the second quadrant of the northern hemisphere (NQ2), being visible at latitudes between +90o and -60o.

Right Ascension: 7h

Declination: +20o

Visible: between +90o and -60o

Best viewed: at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during February

The constellation of Gemini is bordered by Auriga, Cancer, Canis Minor, Lynx, Monoceros, Orion, and Taurus. Gemini is part of the zodiac family of constellations together with Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Messier Objects

Only one Messier object is present in the constellation of Gemini, the famous open cluster, Messier 35.

Messier 35

Messier 35, also designated as NGC 2168, is an elongated open cluster that has a radius of around 11 light-years. Messier 35 is located at 3,870 light-years away from Earth, and it was discovered in 1745 by astronomer Phillippe Loys de Chesaux.

Messier 35 has an apparent magnitude of 5.1, and it can easily be resolved in small telescopes. The apparent dimensions of this open cluster have been estimated at around 28 arcminutes.

The compact cluster NGC 2158 lies directly southwest of Messier 35. M35 is believed to be around 175 million years old, containing around 1,600 solar masses.

Notable Stars

The constellation of Gemini hosts many interesting stars, however, the stars Pollux and Castor dominate the constellation, with Pollux being the brightest member in Gemini.

Pollux b has an estimated mass of around 2.3 times that of Jupiter. It orbits the giant star once every 590 days. Many cultures around the world associated Pollux and Castor as two of something, such as Yin and Yang, two gazelles, two-kid goats, the brothers that founded Rome, Romulus, and Regulus, and so on.

Among the 58 stars selected for celestial navigation, Pollux is the only one listed from Gemini. Pollux along with Capella, Aldebaran, Sirius, and Procyon are part of the winter asterism known as the Winter Circle or Winter Hexagon.

The Jellyfish Nebula

The Jellyfish Nebula, also known as IC 443 or Sharpless 248, is a galactic supernova remnant in Gemini located near the star Propus/Eta Geminorum, at around 5,000 light-years away from Earth.

The Jellyfish Nebula is thought to be the remnant of a supernova that occurred between 3,000 to 30,000 years ago, and it most likely created the neutron star CXOU J061705.3+222127, which is the collapsed remnant of the stellar core.

The Jellyfish Nebula has an angular diameter of around 50 arcminutes / 70 light-years, and one of its notable features is its interaction with the molecular clouds.

IC 444

IC 444 is a small reflection nebula in Gemini. It stretches out for around 32 square arcminutes. IC 444 has an apparent magnitude of 7.03.

Geminga

Geminga is a neutron star in Gemini located at around 815 light-years away from us. Geminga is possibly the collapsed remnant of a stellar core, resulted from a supernova explosion that occurred around 300,000 years ago.

Geminga has an apparent magnitude of 22.5. It was the first unidentified gamma-ray source to be discovered, as well as the first example of a radio-quiet pulsar.

NGC 2158

NGC 2158 is an open cluster in Gemini which is situated southwest of the open cluster Messier 35. This open cluster is believed to be 2 billion years old.

NGC 2158 is located at more than 11,000 light-years away from us, stretching for around 5 arcminutes. It has an apparent magnitude of 8.6 and a radius of around 8 light-years.

NGC 2129

NGC 2129 is an open cluster located at around 7,200 light-years away from us, located inside the Local Spiral arm, of the Milky Way. This cluster is quite young, having an estimated age of around 10 million years.

NGC 2129 has an estimated radius of around 5.2 light-years and an apparent magnitude of 6.7. The group is dominated by two close B-type stars.

NGC 2355

Meteor Showers

The constellation of Gemini is associated with two prominent meteor showers, the Geminids, and the Rho Geminids. The Geminids are very bright, peaking on December 13-14.

Around 100 meteors per hour have been recorded during their peak, making the Geminids one of the richest meteor showers. The Rho Geminids peak between October 18 and October 29, they overlap with the Orionids, and this makes them difficult to detect, however, they have a higher velocity than the Orionids.
