Decans Series: Rising Signs Episode One
Aries Decan One(0-10′ Degrees): Aries & Mars
Men: These Natives are True in their Martian like presence. The men sport often hung or lean physics while even the men who are boasting a more robust size often carry the same aggressive and burly look as if they were some beast stripped from the wild. When young the men can often seem like a rebel without a cause, lost or as if they are “expecting.” The vitality is sky high and even more so is the body’s ability to heal from wounds. These natives heal the quickest out of all the Aries decans and unfortunately sport the worst temper. these natives tend to have an unknowingly abrasive energy and can seem much ruder than they actually are. most men with this early decan of Aries tend to be independent but “searching” whether they admit it or not, for their other half. This decan has the strongest connection to libra on it’s axis so these men as much of a loner as they may seem deep down are on a pursuit to find love and give love. This Aries rising is passionate but a bit overwhelming in it’s energy. They want and Will get and tend to have the most ferocious tenacity outwardly than the rest of their counterparts.
Women: The women with this degree tend to be Bundles of joy, many handle the Arian energy very well in this decan, taking on it’s childish and youthful energies and turning them into something pure and admirable. These natives are happy go lucky and take life by the rope and also don’t mind the occasional free fall. They tend to be the types to do things solo and normally despise being hand held threw anything. they have a bit of a tom boy spirit and many are actively involved in heavy duty work like construction, engineering or even just sports in general to relieve any access energy. Many women with this position are easy to get along with and have an almost infectious laughter to them. Men and women naturally gravitate to them because of their open and charming disposition. They ooze a special kind of sex appeal and it’s one that feels like nostalgia. they regardless of all these fun things LOATHE clingy or cramped spaces and can act out when placed in them.
Men/Women with water influence(all Aries Rising): (cancer) - Sentimental and guarded. will seem like a wounded bird and In a sense withhold. they’ll seem like they’re in conflict with the idea of being tied down or domesticated and may even bring the fight home with them. Extremely caring, tender and loyal but the cardinal overload tends to make them emotionally unpredictable especially the closer to 0-3′ degrees the rising sign of Aries is in. (Scorpio) - Deep & mysterious. you’ll notice the Arian side quick but only during short burst. the eyes tend to be deep and darker features are often seen. They tend to be powerhouses and dress in more dark and hidden attire. These men are very ambitious and have quite a bit of stamina when it comes to tolerating others. they tend to be crafty but also direct. the mind and heart operate unified, but they are remarkably cerebral and can often place ambition above sexual desire(especially in women). (Pisces) - Ghastly, they’ll always wear a face, which makes them very hard top pin down. you’ll likely think they’re a Pisces rising at first. the best way to point them out is their messy and underkept look. they seem natural and a bit lost. they throw the Arian rage at the wrong things and have the tendency to burn out quicker than any others Aries rising. They have so much creative energy and even more so they have the ability to create and do anything they conjure but many of these men fall to easily for the drugs, sex and lack of stability rather than claim their own destiny.(the women normally don’t struggle with this as bad as the men do here.)
Men/women with earth influence(all Aries rising): (Taurus)-steady, but, fluctuating. can seem timid one minute and then bubbly and talkative the next. their can be troubles maintaining the energy as it comes and goes. the sexual appetite in both sexes is high but usually the desire for committed sexual encounters matter more to them. Stubbornness is doubled because of Aries energy and even more so if they are in the second decan as the double fixed energy makes them downright immovable. Sensual and intimate personality. (Virgo) - CUNNING. the body moves quick, faster than most Virgo types. the nature can be overly self invested but they don’t mean to be that way. the nature is reserved and respectful but a beastly personality can be hidden beneath the breathe. grounded but also lacking in foundation. the analytical side of Virgo is watered down and the reckless nature of Aries is more subdued. a tendency to fall in complacency is common ground but these natives tend to attract partners who stay the long haul. Fluctuations with weight can happen but the weight can be lost quickly. IRRITABLE.(Capricorn) - AMBITIOUS. these natives can be cold to the touch and prefer non-emotional sexual encounters(especially the business men & women of this combo) they can have a powerful sexual charisma. they can have overwhelming personalities or be deeply intimidating. the ability to take it easy might be hard here as they often easily pull all nighters or sacrifice family, love and all else for the sake of job, work and so on.(most of them are doing this to be providers though) the heart is SO BIG but it’s layered behind walls and distrust. Passion goes towards getting ahead.
Men/Women With Air influence(all Aries Rising):(Gemini) - Talkative and jivy. These natives can be colorful as hell, often playing their hands in many different activities, people, communities and so on. many have a strong attraction to rap, word of mouth and literature. these natives tend to be slightly air headed and superficial when it comes to being “deep” they can seem dismissive or careless when it comes to other people but it’s mainly because they don’t tale life or anything that happens in it that seriously. they get over things quick and tend to push others to be open to up’s and down’s. they can be mentally ambiguous and love a good mystery. many are very hard to get close to and they have a strong passionate side! many are very giving and loving to those they care about in their own way but they can lack emotional expression.(Libra) - Lovers, grand and schemers. they can be heartthrobs and seduce you just by flipping their hair or licking their lips. they are often passive and slightly people centered but deep down they aren’t nearly as concerned with the masses as they seem. they can be moody and dart from one feeling to the next pretty quickly. a good deal of them are artist and tend to have an 70-90s feel. they don’t hold on to connections and tend to have more situational friends if anything. Sweet but detached. the Martian side is often projected onto others. (Aquarius) - Spontaneous and aloof. the personality is quirky and the Martian energy is expressed in a wonky sort of scientist way. these natives tend to have an interest in being doctors or surgeons. the hands are often very capable and these natives tend to have well expected writing abilities. these natives tend to be loners and keep their distance from people. they can have an electric sort of rebel like nature to them, but they normally express this impulsive side when alone or with friends. they may fall for their friends quite a bit or be off to the side preferring to use their energy towards other things. many prefer self sexual pleasing than having physical sex.
Men/women With fire influence( All Aries rising): (Aries) - OVERWHELMING. they can be powerful, and a great deal tend to be active in sports, politics, or even war in some way through the military or even just open warfare at home or against others. The body is often physically strong and high in bone density. the movements tend to be heavy and these natives often sport heavy hands. their is an intensity to every action and these natives tend to have an intense home life to match, the mother is a juggernaut often holding equal footing to that of a war general in the house. the father is either a tyrant or an adversary. the grandparents are usually the source of sensitivity for the child. passionate and high sex drive and normally these natives are rather open to sexual expression gay or straight. (Leo) - Fast and well spoken. the mind is often creative and the talents are enterprising. the nature of the romantic investments tend to be turbulent and erotic. these natives have their line and fare share of hot sex stories but are pretty modest. the self esteem and confidence is well developed and these natives usually carry themselves with high décor and prestige. the nature is lion like and they tend to impulsively switch moods rather quickly especially if a their attention has been caught. (Sagittarius) - Philosophical yet daring. they want to explore it all but can also be rather impatient with learning what must be learnt to visit. they are daredevils and advocates for something big and better. many of them love the planet and strong on stopping further damage to the planet. many of them are activist and spend much of their time away from home or helping others. Sagittarius influence makes these natives put much of their energy into helping others. Many are caring but a bit lacking in sympathy for the feelings of others.
Aries rising decan Two(10-20′ degrees): Aries & Mars, Leo & Sun.
Men: These men can have a sort of innocent, lost boy energy to them. they “seem” impressionable to many but you’ll be shocked once they drop the façade. they’re quick but tamed and normally hide their rage behind a wall of patience. They do better with this than their female counter part in this decan but make no mistake they can be downright ugly when they get pushed. the men have a HIGH sexual energy but it expresses itself almost in a Virgo like fashion. Many of them do value attention and care but in a weird twist they prefer to be the ones giving it to others rather than basking in it. they’re considerate and deeply compassionate. The thing here is that these men are “secretive” they keep much of what they feel, think or want to themselves which can make them seem a bit aloof or disengaged than the typical Aries rising. in many ways they’ll seem like an Aquarius or Virgo rising upon first meeting. The give away is that these men Have some of the most intense gazes and the most powerful aura without trying. they own a room before they even step foot, and can kick up the sexual notch in little than a second. these men can be unnerving when they drop the lost persona.
Women: The women of this decan can be aloof, cool and HOT tempered. They love a thrill and have a very progressive mind. Many of these women are ambitious and place high value in the fruits of labor like mentality. They work and play hard but can in some ways seem so preoccupied with their own independence that their lovers feel a bit “Left out in the cold.” to that I simply reply with...KEEP UP. these women move quick and can be in and out of your life at a moments notice as they tend to keep their eyes on the big picture and in many ways you’re not that picture. they are extremely devoted to their families and are the Mother bear of either your worst nightmare or your dreams. they adore children and even more so their loved ones and to them romance takes a back seat to them always. They have a very open mind and tend to be strongly tied to their own heritage. many of the women here adore harsher/more earthy tones like marron, greens and silvers. these women CAN get angry and I mean angry and even more so if they get the feeling that you wasted their time. They have a strong ego but are humble as they come.
Aries rising Decan Three(20-29′): Aries & Mars, Sagittarius & Jupiter
Men: These men are like a breathe of the amazon. The harsh salted sea of the Atlantic. They feel like they’re not from here and even more so they feel as if they’re some astral being here for a moment and nothing more. they’re on the quieter side of the Aries rising and tend to observe rather than outright express their will. these men normally show their intensity in their self control. they ware very self aware and often exert small amounts or larger amounts of their energy when necessary. They can be sensitive to the body movements and language of others and much like a ram in the wild they can become skittish if you are acting out of character. they are sexually open but also naturally magnetic without going out of their way to do so. They can be suckers for music and dancing and many even tend to be on the more artistic side of things. These men also tend to be advent in literature or the word of spoken. they adore broadening their perspectives and try to remain open to that of others(even though they’ll go tooth and nail with you on their own beliefs. They are passionate but withholding and act much more like an earth rising than a fire rising. these men tend to dress very well and take great care of themselves. most are sexually intense and have an insatiable appetite but normally this is kept under wraps(all you see is the hot guy, but once you get in bed you see the animal).
Women: These women tend to be polite, intellectual and underhanded. they can see threw people and that is their super power. these women can spend half a second sizing someone up before they know just the right words, body language, or eye contact to make to get what they need. they tend to be natural born activist and vibrate on a speedy mental frequency which often makes it super hard for most people to actively keep up. they tend to be content with being alone and doing their own thing but they can turn into quite the butterfly in the face of a crowd. they are natural born performers but to that end many of them hate the spotlight no matter how grand their charisma may be. these women tend to be very uplifting to be around. their wording of things can be slightly dismissive and blunt but they have good intentions. these natives tend to be high class and prefer the company of people who respect others and themselves so dispute their aggressive side they keep a strong grip on not seeming overly aggressive. these women are strong and INTENSE but the joyous cloud around them hides it.
Physical/personality Decan One:
The eyes tend to be deeply set. fixed eyes. can seem playful but a serious demeanor. calm but Dismissive body movements. can seem emotionally distant. Radiant smiles and a semi- cheerful resting face.
Physical/personality Decan Two:
Heavy set chest in men and women here. The eyes are passive and seem a bit like they’re looking through you or past you. Attention elsewhere always. Can go from smiling to straight-faced in half a second. Natural body figure whether they work out or not LOOKS real good. often natural hair, curls or waves on it’s own. for all races the skin is often soft and the hair tends to seem loose or rather fitting to the persons face.
physical/ personality Decan Three:
Darker features. the eyes are steady but deceitful. low smiles and can seem grand. the aura is heavy. many are sporting very strong familial genetics(might be the one in the family that inherited great grandmas silver hair, or great granddads birthmarks and so on. The body for men and women can look stunning no matter the weight, it has a sort of uniqueness to it.

pronunciation. technically BAY-zil but my dumb disney-loving brain defaults to BA-zil lmao
nicknames. dumbass, dumb as ass (these are, of course, all lovingly given to him by his brothers)
titles. basil the kicker, ‘our kicking basil’ courtesy of roh
height. 5′11-6″
age. 23ish
zodiac. leo
languages. whatever language they speak on his planet plus a few others
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
hair colour. red, white
eye colour. black with yellow sclera
skin tone.
body type. very athletic and toned, but a little bit wiry tbh
accent. like majora below, he’d technically have one to an earthling’s ear, but they wouldn’t be able to place it
dominant hand. left
posture. confident. has a definite swagger to his gait, and he sometimes tends to lean on one hip when he stands. other times, he simply has a very open, fearless stance
scars. what scars he has are covered by fur
tattoos. none
most noticeable features. the fact he aint got no clothes on >:u possibly his doe eyes, which gives him a markedly more ‘innocent’-looking expression compared with his brothers
CHILDHOOD.
place of birth. currently unnamed planet in U9
hometown. an overpopulated city where it was easy for him and his brothers to ‘disappear’ quite often from under ‘human services’ noses
birth weight / height. he has no idea
manner of birth. just. the usual, i guess :v
first words. it was probably something like ‘bermo’ which was his babyish way of saying ‘bergamo’ lmao
siblings. lavender, older brother, bergamo, oldest brother
parents. his father died at some point before he was born, so he has no memories of him. his mother either died or was separated from the three around the time basil was one to two years old (which means i need to edit A Thing i wrote recently rip), so his memories of her are fuzzy and nondescript
parental involvement. he was loved by his mother and treated overtly affectionately by her from the time he was born-- however, his time with her was short. from her disappearance on, he was raised by his older brothers, who did their best of course, but likely fell short in various ways
ADULT LIFE
occupation. ??? whatever it is, it’s not fully legal
current residence. a small apartment with his brothers. thanks to a certain god’s influence, it’s a little more luxurious on the inside than one might expect based on its outward appearance
close friends. uhhh. his brothers. minca, at one point. and probably again eventually. otherwise, he has various. uh. basically casual drinking buddies, so i’m not sure he’d consider them close
relationship status. single
financial status. it’s okay. paycheck to paycheck, but. again, thanks to a certain god, he and his brothers are able to live rather comfortably
driver’s license. unfortunately, yes
criminal record. Yes
vices. impulsive, short-tempered, has a tendency to be irreverent without entirely meaning to (not that he’s not Trying to be, just that he’s not thinking about it), lacks common sense a lot

sexual orientation. he personally identifies as heterosexual but tbh it’s bc he’s only had one girlfriend and hasn’t really thought about his sexuality in great depth. i could honestly see him being bisexual
romantic orientation. ???
preferred emotional role. submissive | dominant | switch | unsure
preferred sexual role. submissive | dominant | switch | sex repulsed
libido. h-hahaa er. High
turn ons. i don’t. know yet tbh
turn offs. anything too Out There
love language. how do i. explain it. it’s not affectionate exactly, but it would be very obvious to his partner that he likes them, bc there’d be signs like his face lighting up whenever he spotted them in a room, or the fact that he invites them to go with him everywhere, that he’d rather spend time with them than with his drinking buddies, etc. he doesn’t actually do a lot of PDA, i think, bc i tend to see him as being a little more immature than that tbh, but there’d definitely be signs of affection and. adoration there
relationship tendencies. basil, at this point in his life, just wants someone he can have fun with. he doesn’t want commitment, he doesn’t want to think about the future (unless it involves daydreaming about visiting cool places)-- all he cares about is the now, and how he can have fun in the now. as such, he’s drawn toward those with like values and desires, and would be turned off by someone who seemed intent on ‘changing him into a better man’ or something similar
MISCELLANEOUS.
character’s theme song. here we go again, renegades
hobbies to pass the time. sparring/fighting, drinking, parties, tagging along with his brothers, causing mischief

physical illnesses. none
left or right brained. right-brained
fears. failure, disappointing his brothers, losing his brothers, embarrassing himself in a way he can’t Come Back From
self-confidence level. ehh, tbh, it’s mostly high. he probably gets down on himself at times when he thinks he’s done something exceedingly stupid, but for the most part, he thinks pretty highly of himself
vulnerabilities. don’t. don’t pull his tail, that hurts. his loyalty to his brothers, the secret feelings he keeps to himself about his childhood if anyone ever figured them out tbh, his fears that he really is kind of dumb
full name. majora
pronunciation. MAH-zheruh
nicknames. nurse baobei (an old one from shosa that majora absolutely hates to be called in public these days. not that he. loved it to begin with)
titles. has an officer’s rank of some kind? does that count
height. 5′8ish
age. Advanced (TM) no sorry i just haven’t decided how he ages compared to humans yet :v
zodiac. capricorn n/a
languages. whatever language his planet/region uses, as well as a few neighboring ones
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
hair colour. olive green, white
eye colour. ????
skin tone.
body type. slender, slim, but toned. certain joints like his wrists and ankles are very thin and frail-looking, however
accent. he’d have one to an earthling’s ear, but it’d be hard to place
dominant hand. right
posture. generally straight, tho sometimes a little slouchy just bc he’s tired. while he was a military nurse, he wasn’t required to complete any kind of military training, so he doesn’t have the perhaps expected ‘soldier posture’
scars. what scars he does have are easily hidden by fur. has a scar on his upper abdomen leftover from a splenectomy
tattoos. none
most noticeable features. his ears are huuuuge
CHILDHOOD.
place of birth. some planet in U4 lmao
hometown. a currently unnamed city on the coast. presently lives in a mountainous region in the northern part of the country/planet he lives on
birth weight / height. ~6 pounds, ~19 inches
manner of birth. something akin to twilight sleep
first words. it was ‘pig’ bc he witnessed one of his older sisters calling another child the term as an insult
siblings. four other siblings (two older sisters, one younger sister, one younger brother is the baby. he is the third oldest of five, right smack dab in the middle). his eldest sister is deceased. he is mostly estranged from the others and only sees them occasionally throughout the year
parents. Mother: jima Father: rougu, i haven’t quite decided what it was that they did just yet but whatever it was left them rather well-off financially, enough so that they were able to allow their children to pursue whatever interests and hobbies they desired (assuming they were proper, of course). their beliefs were steeped in traditions and conventional wisdom, and these are what majora grew up with and probably still to some degree practices to this day
parental involvement. somewhat negligent once he hit a certain age and was capable of helping with younger siblings and household chores, etc. his parents never were particularly affectionate with him, tho they encouraged certain interests of his (...martial arts, mostly) while discouraging others they felt tarnished his (read: their) reputation. this was especially true as he grew into his preteen and teen years and began showing behaviors they didn’t like
ADULT LIFE
occupation. retired; former nurse
current residence. lives in a communal apartment setup. he lives at the end of the hall, is able to claim he has the largest room of the floor, and also has a nice little balcony attached to his room as well that he shares with the newly-married couple who live in the room next to him (who i’ve named chuan and cori). he’s quite fond of his living arrangement, despite what he may occasionally say otherwise
close friends. ..........shosa. that’s it. that’s literally it
relationship status. single
financial status. he survives on retiree and disability benefits........ but altogether, it’s not bad
driver’s license. doesn’t need one. both. bc the city he lives in is compact enough to be able to walk everywhere and bc. Blind lmao
criminal record. lots of curfew and truancy violations as a teen fjfiea;g
vices. proud, aloof, withdrawn, set in his ways, stubborn, self-sabotaging
SEX & ROMANCE.
sexual orientation. generally identifies as homosexual
romantic orientation. homoromantic probably
preferred emotional role. submissive | dominant | switch | unsure
preferred sexual role. submissive | dominant | switch | sex repulsed
libido. middles toward low, even when coupled, but he’s not repulsed by any means
turn ons. ....like basil i’m. not entirely sure yet
turn offs. treating him like a doll?? does that make sense, listen he might like to dress up but don’t treat him like a mannequin. and don’t take advantage of the fact that he can’t see what he’s putting on, that should be obvious. Anything without his permission, ignoring his discomfort if it comes up, not letting him know what you’re doing before you do it gdi
love language. kinda stiff and awkward in the beginning, but he softens up soon enough. he never does get to be the type who is outwardly affectionate and forthcoming about his feelings, and particularly in public, will seem very distant and cool to his partner, but he is definitely the sort to enjoy being around a partner and seek their company quite often, whether it’s to accompany them about the town or simply to relax at home
relationship tendencies. truthfully, romance just isn’t on his mind much these days, but he’s always gravitated toward those that he could spend time with and not necessarily worry all the time. he’s not like basil and wants only to live in the present, but he does need something or someone to ground him in the present, or he thinks himself into a nervous frenzy about the future, particularly nowadays at his age and at his level of dependence on others. he worries occasionally that he’s too much of a burden, and that his efforts to decrease his status as a burden only exacerbate it
MISCELLANEOUS.
character’s theme song. cleopatra
hobbies to pass the time. fishing, listening to music/the radio, playing music occasionally (usually when he’s been left in charge of kids and they’re being little hellions rip), going to see plays and operas (even if he can’t appreciate the sets or costumes anymore, he can still enjoy the stories and acting, he supposes)
mental illnesses. none tbh
physical illnesses. some kind of anemia (think pernicious anemia), which results in fatigue and body aches, compromised immune system
left or right brained. left-brained mostly
fears. death, losing another sense, various small fears related to his blindness and his resulting vulnerability, being helpless/a burden, convalescent homes
self-confidence level. relatively high to moderate while he keeps his independence. when he makes mistakes or otherwise flubs up bc of his blindness, it tends to crash a little
vulnerabilities. his fear of both dying and debility/helplessness, frequent refusal to accept help, obviously he. uh. can’t see, tho his other senses help him out to some degree there,

Pandora chapter 1 (Re-write)
A/N: As I have said earlier, there will be a bit of plot change and some scenes will be erased. I will be replacing the chapters online tomorrow or so.
Pandora (Not yet replaced with re-written chapters): FF l Wattpad l Quotev
Volterra, Italy.
Population: 11,042.
She always wanted to take some break off school and travel but it wasn't after her rather dramatic break-up with Mark that set her off to the right rail. She couldn't bear to be in Forks – the gloomy, unfamiliar town. She wanted something different for once or she would've gone crazy.
Jessica didn't know what made her choose this beautiful town out of all places she could have chosen; she'd been dreaming about being in Paris, wondering around with all the latest fashions and enjoying the bright night view– not here. Maybe it was because Italy was similar to Paris: both are known as 'City of Love' and both were beautiful in their own ways too.
Now, she was enjoying the quiet night sky as the stars above her head had come out to play and twinkle like small diamonds studded in the dark blanket. Ever since she was young, she found night to be quite calming, beautiful – not scary or fearful like many other children seemed to believe; she wasn't afraid of the dark because she knew there was nothing in the dark that could harm her.
Jessica closed her eyes in bliss as the calm wind blew through her hair; unlike Forks the night was so peaceful. Quiet. Something that was rare in Forks and other places she visited. The beautiful town held that comfortable country side atmosphere unlike the noisy Forks bustling with lousy teenagers wasting themselves away with alcohol and drugs. Not that she had the right to say anything about their chosen lifestyle.
The whole town was asleep, apart from darkly lit street lights, only silent seemed to inhibit here. So silent that she could hear rustling of trees from the outer walls of the town faintly in her ears.
There was a slightly rustling from her left side she normally wouldn't be able hear if it wasn't for the silence. Jessica slowly turned her head, while she wasn't those reckless types and had good survival skills to know a girl shouldn't be sitting on a fountain at this kind of time alone and open, she couldn't say no to this tranquil experience.
She was sure there was someone there hidden in the darkness and the figure stepped into the silvery moon light. From the tall, lean yet lithe stature, she knew it was a male. He wore all black and hood over his face; too dark to make out any certain looks.
For a moment, her and his eyes seemed to meet before he sharply cut and headed toward the tall, clock tower. Good, as long as he kept his distance she wouldn't have to try her feeble kung-fu version from the movie, 'Rush Hour'.
He glanced over his shoulder, as if checking if whether she was giving more interest and attention than normal. Satisfied she shrugged off and went back to watching the evening sky, he opened the doors before stepping inside and closing it behind him.
The next day, she started off her morning with touring around the beautiful town. Pinacoteca (Art Gallery) was the first place she stepped in, admiring the beautiful religious paintings left behind as legacy by famous painters that graced through our history.
The gallery was spacious, huge and maze-like that she could only explore less than half of the whole collections of arts within the time she gave herself. The brief disappointment vanished when Jessica found a family café 'L'Incontro' that was designed in a way that gave off homely atmosphere giving the ease Jessica sought ever since she came here.
She brought one of articulately made pastry and cappuccino printed with heart shape made from milk drops, almost too hesitant to drink such art form. Jessica of course snapped the picture and uploaded on her Instagram for her friends to see and instantly her phone lighted with notifications.
Jessica was greeted by the owner of the place who also acted as manager/employee, Leo – a middle aged man who is married and had a daughter of her age who often helped out his place. Jessica soon found herself laughing at the man's jokes, he was almost like her father – obviously loves his family very much, humorous, very protective of their only daughter and loved to humiliate their daughter very openly.
She soon said goodbye, finishing her meal but with a promise she'll come back to have their famous home-made Spaghetti Bolognese.
Soon enough, Jessica found herself at a strange place when she wondered out the town's wall. Maybe she was being too adventurous on her first day. Now she didn't know how to get out the lovely garden of sorts she found by accident. She doubts the long-time inhabitants even knew this place; she was completely lost.
But those worrying thoughts were repressed as Jessica began to take in the surroundings. It was tranquil and isolated; a perfect place. A haven away from the world.
She took a seat on Gothic designed metal bench, opened her bag and took out her novel she needed to read: 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' a rather depressing book she heard, not to mention she saw the drama too. Let's say, she prefered happy endings.
Jessica was too engrossed to notice the time flowing as sun start to set, there were groups of murmurs heading toward her directions but it wasn't until the melodic voice tore her away from the world of literature.
"Now, stay together, everyone." The high pitched voice struck through Jessica, definitely making a deep impression on her even before she saw its owner which she was sure was as beautiful as the voice was.
And she was. So so much more.
The woman wore dark crimson dress that flattered and hugged her die-for hourglass figure, long, lustrous mahogany hair and long legs any models would sell their souls to the devils for. The gorgeous woman was beautiful enough to be compared to Rosalie Hale – another girl Jessica knew that was more stunning than any celebrities she saw in the magazines.
Jessica almost flinched nervously when the woman turned to look at Jessica sitting at the side with idiotic gaping looks; mouth wide open and eyes bulged like a fish. The woman looked surprised but quickly replaced it with a smile as she graced – not walk – the floor effortlessly toward her.
"Hello." Her voice rang in Jessica's ears like clarion church bells.
"..Hi.." Jessica's voice was weak and squeaky against the mysterious woman.
"I am Heidi." She had an exotic name too to suit her exotic beauty, "Yours'?"
"Jessica. Jessica Stanley." Jessica wasted no time to shake her head nervously; her name sounded so ordinary and common against Heidi's.
Heidi beamed at her, "Pleasure. You are not from here are you not?"
Jessica nodded, for some whatever reason, she was compelled to tell the truths. Hell, if she asked for Jessica's credit card PIN, she'd gladly give her if it made her happy.
"You don't happen to know the Cullens' right?" Jessica suddenly blurted out.
If there was one thing that constantly reminded her of the Cullens' was their unnatural beauty that outshined all the famous people out there. Many often, Jessica wondered how the hell they weren't famous; just by their looks alone they could make it to the cover page of Vogue with a flick of a finger but instead they settled in a small, boring, rural town for an ordinary life instead.
And the fact she even asked such questions, she chided herself for being stupid. Like, Cullens' have a family in Italy – well to be fair, they never revealed much about themselves to others except Bella and mostly kept to themselves but she came all the way here and certainly did not take 11 hour flight just so her self-esteem could take a punch in the gut.
Heidi's kind face melted away and replaced by something Jessica identified as recognition. So she knew the Cullens'? And from the fleeting emotion she observed, Heidi seemed to have a somewhat strained relationship with them and surprised Jessica knew them.
"You know the Cullens'?"
Jessica nodded.
Heidi once again smiled pleasantly, "What a surprise? If they told us their acquaintance was coming over here, I'd have shown you around the Volterra's most beautiful sides."
"I don't really know them," Jessica told, shrugging her shoulder, "I mean they are not the most sociable people I know. Dr and Mrs. Cullens' kids goes to my school but I don't really talk to them, they are quite weird. Especially Alice."
Jessica saw Heidi relax, "I see. Well, I must get going you see, my groups are getting quite restless but it was a privilege to talk to you. Hope we can meet once again in the future."
Jessica finally noticed who she was talking about. There was probably about twenty or thirty groups of tourists in their very obvious and stereotypical tourist fashion: waist purse, hats, cameras but no souvenir of sorts. Wasn't that what many tourists would actually take with them of their visitation?
She saw Heidi floating toward the group once again and they all look at her with the same star-struck gaze, even the children. She guided them to the front and to the door.
Heidi once more turned her head toward Jessica, "Oh, this is a private property, Jessica, no outsiders allowed. I am sorry for the inconvenience."
Jessica furiously shook her head with red hues spreading across her cheeks, "Um, no! It was my fault for intruding – I-I didn't know. I'll go."
She hastily collected her belongings and speed walked to the way the tourists came but not before giving a last glance over the shoulder as she saw Heidi closing the door after everyone had entered and gave her a final dazzling smile.
Somehow, it unnerved her.
Jessica checked her watch and was surprised to see it was already seven in the afternoon. She should get back to her hotel room now as it was already quite dark. She used her phone light as a flash light to guide her feet to not stumble down the stairs.
She turned and twists through almost maze like ambiguous constructions, she didn't know where she was going but following her pure instinct. Jessica's eyes were down onto her shoes she forgot to look up as she felt herself bump into a hard wall.
But the hard wall didn't felt like wool either.
Jessica gasped when she realised it was someone – not something – and jumped a few feet back, "I'm so sorry! It was dark and I wasn't looking where I was going."
She was hoping it was just a normal person and not some psycho or even a mafia or something like that. Jessica looked back to see the person's reaction. The person had dark coat and a hood over him–
"You look like the person I saw yesterday night…" She blurted out before quickly apologising, "Sorry, random thoughts. I apologise for the bumping into you by the way."
Jessica side stepped and found herself torn with two roads. Which one would lead her to the right road and which one would lead her to the wrong end? Right or Left?
Jessica turned to her right, about to step around the corner until a voice stopped her.
"Left."
She stopped, glancing over her shoulder with puzzled expression.
"You are going the wrong way; left." His voice was suave and smooth with hint of English accent. It was like hearing sirens sing.
"Oh.." Jessica muttered as realisation hit her like cold bucket of water, feeling embarrassed, she turned to the left.
"Thank you." She thanked before disappearing off the corner.
The next few days, she kept her eyes out for Heidi for reason unknown to her. She hoped she could even see few of the tourists that were with Heidi but sadly, she couldn't spot those people in the crowds. Not even Heidi.
Where were all the tourists? Did they all go back?
Ominous feeling tugged the back of her mind and she began to worry. Something wasn't right. She didn't know the reason but somehow, doubtful feelings were rousing inside her.
Jessica stood up from the bench in the town square and trotted into the familiar maze.
Wait–why was she here again? Jessica wondered as she stared at the closed door.
Jessica carefully stepped toward the door, first stepping up the small stairs and she soon stood in front of the door.
"I believe Heidi had told you not to come here again." The familiar voice drawled lazily.
She jerked to the source and found the man standing down the stair, still wearing the dark cloak and hood over his face.
"I was–what's behind this door?" Jessica demanded feebly.
"A matter that is none of your concern." He coldly replied, stepping up to face her.
Jessica narrowed her eyes, darting between the mystery man and the door, "So I can go in? What will happen when I go in?"
She was only replied with a smirk, "If that is your wish," He gestured his arm to the door, "Go ahead."
If this human did step in, it only suited his need rather than hers'.
Jessica's head wearily approached the door, her hand grasped on the door knob. Her mind was screaming there was something much more sinister behind this door that only separated her from whatever dark secrets there was. But at the corner of her mind, the curiosity probed against her better judgement.
Curiosity killed the cat, her conscious said.
But the satisfaction brought it back, her mind retorted.
Ring
Ring
The dull, metallic sound of her phone ringtone rang loudly, making Jessica startle. She checked the screen name: Bella.
Swiping the accept call button, she brought the cell to her ear, "Hello?"
"Jessica, are you ok?!"
There was desperation in Bella's voice, deepening Jessica's frown, "Um..duh? Why has someone called you saying that I was kidnapped?" Jessica jokingly laughed. Slight shuffling could be heard before the masculine voice replaced Bella's.
"Jessica, get out of there."
"Edward? What–"
"Get out. Go somewhere that is crowded – anywhere but there!"
Did someone actually called them saying she was kidnapped?
"I don't understand–" The phone was abruptly taken from Jessica's hand as Alec held the cell to his ears and with the smooth but demanding tone overridden with threat,
"Edward, please compose yourself. I am at my most controlled self; you are making her more suspicious."
Jessica could still his shouts of protests over the phone but it was swiftly cut as Alec pressed the end call button and handed it back to her.
"You know Edward?"
"Of course. He had visited us once with..Bella." He smirked, teasingly, "Come. I will accompany you back – if you still wish to."
Jessica realised he was gesturing to the doors and with defeated pride, she backed away.
"Good choice." The unsuspecting human followed behind him as he guided her back to the town square to make sure she didn't linger by.
"I'm Jessica." She introduced, finding the silent too awkward.
"Alec." His reply after a brief pause was short as if contemplating to give her his name or not.
Jessica concluded he had a rather quiet nature but he seemed lively and teasing at times, "So, what's the deal with you and Edward? He sounded like he was talking to his public enemy no.1"
"Feelings are mutual I suppose."
She nodded but there was something that had been bugging her as of recent, "How old are you?" A rude question but hopefully he doesn't mind.
"Fourteen." There was a pause before he answered her.
Jessica halted, shocked, her reply coming out in stutter, "W-wait– fourteen? As in one and four together?"
His lip twitched in emotion she couldn't identify, "Of course. I cannot be old as the number you seemed to have mistakenly heard."
So forty is out then, Jessica thought.
"Well you don't sound very fourteen-ish. You sound older."
"And may I ask yours' since it is a courtesy to answer one's own question as well?"
"Seventeen."
"You don't look like seventeen." He retorted.
Jessica laughed along but quickly placed serious expression, realising his word can be interpreted in both ways, "Wait, like good way or bad? Young or older? If old how old?"
She saw only a calm expression in his half hidden face, leaving her to decide, "Aren't you going to ask why I'm here?"
"It's none of my concern."
Jessica smiled, finding the kid's too-old-for-him-vocabulary cute, "I bet you're home-schooled; you definitely are. You're lucky I'm like really open, but I'm here because I want to make mistakes. You know take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere or just see what life has for me."
"Mistake? I believe you made your first."
Jessica frowned, "No, this will probably be my…hundredth one or more."
She saw she was soon back to where she started, blurry faces passing by, silently ignoring the two teenagers in the alley, "Wanna be friends whilst I’m here?" She turned but he wordlessly faced her to the front. Jessica liked to believe she was initiating friendship purely out of altruistic intention but really she was lonely and also needed a native friend who could show her around so she didn’t make tourist mistakes like spending unnecessary amount of money on something cheap.
"You should not so easily say those words." He whispered with a hint of mocking in his voice.
"Why?" She frowned once again at his outward gestures.
"Because the very thing you are asking for is impossible."
There was a slight breeze of wind passing through her hair and when she turned her head behind, he had disappeared.
Bella sighed as she pocketed her phone, turning around to face the worrying stares of the Cullens', "She seems fine..for now."
Edward stepped forward, holding her hands with his cold ones, "Bella, if she's alright, then she is fine. Stop troubling yourself and relax."
"But Alice saw it. She saw–" Bella couldn't even finish her sentence and Edward understood. He saw Alice's vision as clear as she had.
"Bella, remember my visions are not accurate and change according to people's choice." Alice added with the intention to soothe Bella's worry.
Bella had been with Alice and Edward when she received her vision; the image flashed passed through her eyes in fast speed but it was crystal clear what was happening.
Jessica standing in the centre of the familiar large throne room, Alec grasping Jessica's arm tightly in hold before Aro stepped down with cruel smile..he bites her neck before Alec ravages her in animalistic fashion until the last drop of her blood dropped from his lip and coats the floor with crimson – the colour of his eyes and stared into the lifeless eye of Jessica Stanley.
It was Edward who alerted Bella who immediately acted on her worry and called Jessica to confirm her safety.
Alice saw Bella's fear held gaze relax a little as she heard she was fine until another sort of fear held her and rambled out in almost incoherent words. Edward took the phone, knowing he was more calm and in control at these types of situation. He commanded her to get out of wherever she was to the place with crowds but then her whole form went cold when she heard a familiar drawling voice that wasn't Jessica's. It was Alec's.
Edward shouted out his protest against Alec's more swift and calculating response until the call was disconnected with the dial-tones.
Jessica spent most of her days dreaded with boredom, mostly rolling in her bed and staring up in her ceiling. Empty tube of ice cream sat next to her tattered book, Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Overwhelmed with frustration, she put the empty tube on the bed side table before pulling the sheet up to her face, burying herself deeply into the comfortable abyss she was in.
The peace was short lived.
Ring
Just ignore it.. She hoped the caller would get the idea she was unavailable and cut the call short, praying the other side with the prolonged dial tones will come to realise she had absolutely no will to pick up the mobile. The caller would probably be either her family or friends, and if they knew Jessica Stanley; they'd know she had her phone 24/7, regardless night, day, time or situations; she'd never ignore the phone ringing more than once.
Ring
She could feel her eyebrow twitch with annoyance as the phone kept on ringing, each sound of the ringtone seemed to magnify hundred times in her ears.
Ring
Jessica took in a deep breath, squeezed her eyes shut and concentrated back into her slumber, reminding herself the comfortable world she was in.
Ring–
Her hand clawed the mechanic, swiped the screen angrily and pulled it to her ear, "Hello?!" Her greeting was half shout and half growl.
"Jessica? It's Bella. Are you OK? She sounds OK."
Jessica knew Bella was probably confirming her well-being to those around her; listening to the conversations.
"Yes, Bella. I'm OK, I don't know why you are having a panic attack; I'm gonna have a panic attack 'cuz of you. Whoever called you saying I was dead or drowned or hung or burnt alive or something is probably not true because I sure as hell am not talking to you from my grave."
She could hear sigh of relief over the phone.
"I'm glad...you're safe. Jessica, just..just stay away from people there."
Jessica rolled her eyes, "Yes, mother, I'll say no when someone ask me to follow them to their van for a candy(!)"
"I'm not kidding! Jessica..just promise me you'll-no, come back! Come back to Forks."
"Come back? Bella, the whole reason why I'm travelling is to get out of the Forks, not get back in. Is this the incident about Alec yesterday?"
"Alec? He told you his name?" There was unbelieving tone in Bella's voice as if she didn't believe her ears or the person she was speaking to right now.
"Yes, Bella. Most people do. It's no.1 rule in something called introduction-slash-ice breaker." Jessica bit out the sarcasm, wanting to sleep.
"..So he didn't hurt you?"
Jessica frowned, gawking at the phone as if she was seeing Bella face to face, "Is he suppose to? Did you call me expecting me to be in a hospital or a morgue? Wait, is hurting people some kind of custom in Italy because I heard you can't make V shape with your fingers in front of Italian people because that means their boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating on them or whatever."
Bella laughed over the phone, seems her little nervous tick was passing, "No..well I don't think so anyway. Jessica when are you coming back to Forks?"
"Well..." She bit her lip in thoughtful thinking, "Soon..I guess. Although I have a year to spare and get some experience for my credits but being in Italy is so not helping so I might cut my 'vacation' early."
"Oh that's cool. Well, I'll speak to you soon, OK?"
Small smile appeared on Jessica at Bella's worry for her, "Yea, thanks for worrying though. Better than my parent." She can imagine Bella smiling over the phone. With quick but fond goodbyes, she hung up and closed her eyes.
Bella grew agitated when she wouldn't pick up at the first ring like she always did. To her relief, Jessica sounded fine and normal. She registered no pain or fear in her voice. She knew from Edward, Carlisle's century long happy friendship with the Volturi leader, Aro, and Alice had explained that they never kill the inhabitants of Volterra; tourists or not, they don't like risking even the tiniest chance and brought their 'food' from places that was quite far away. Even so, Bella bit her lip, the nagging anxiety in the back of her mind didn't reside one bit.
Jessica was soon standing in the alley way she and Alec parted, why did she have to be so curious? Just who were they?
"I hope you will not make same mistake."
Those striking voice seemed struck fear in her like a child caught stealing a candy. Jessica twirled to see Alec, hood over his face and leaning against the wall elegantly.
"You scared me to death." Jessica gestured her hands on her heart, pounding violently against her ribs.
"You’re still alive."
“Are you sure you’re not related to the Cullens’ in anyway? Because you remind me of them, like in a weird, creepy way. Not saying you’re creepy or anything, but you’re getting there.”
He didn't reply and stayed silent. Weird human, he thought, just like the other one.
The next time she met the mystery boy again was through pure coincidence. She didn't expect to see him again but when she did, felt an odd sense of happiness at the somewhat familiar face.
"Hey!" She called out from a distance, "Alec!"
The boy stilled at the sound of his name. With the fall of darkness and overshadowing hood, she couldn't see his face but she was sure it was him. Then resumed his gait toward the hill. Jessica raised a brow at the blatant act of snub. Rude she thought as her legs carried toward him.
By the time she reached where he once stood, he had disappeared.
"So rude." She muttered with a disapproving shake and turned back around when a figure emerged from the corner. Her phone clattered to the floor and she prayed her screen hadn't cracked from the collision.
"Who is rude?" He asked, "Is it not considered rude to trail someone?"
"I wasn't trailing!" She denied, "And isn't it rude to ignore someone when they call out your name?!"
"I didn't hear you." He lied.
"Yeah, looks like you didn't hear me(!)"
"What do you want?" He asked audibly impatient. The tone surprised her. He usually sounded friendly.
"I don't know." She honestly said, "Is it weird for me to say you just reminds me of the Cullens'? You're...weird."
"Ah..you said that several times." He tilted his head, "Is that all?"
"You don't really get along with people do you?" Jessica suddenly asked.
"I'm not interested." He shrugged off.
"I don't know...you just got that..lonely vibe, you know."
"You're wrong." His voice changed from a friendly tone to harsher intonation.
It seemed she made him angry and for a moment, she preferred him angry. He seemed..like a person.
"So you can get angry.." The word slipped out of her mouth before she could register it.
The corner of his lip twitched, "What did you say?"
"Huh, oh, shit, no, I wasn't meant to say that." Jessica backed away as he stepped forward, "Sorry, goodnight, bye!"
As she twisted around, one of her leg tangled around her other ankle and knocked her off balance as she felt herself falling. Clenching her eyes and bracing for painful impact, her hands desperately searched for something to grab on. Then something firm hooked around her wrist and pulled her back on her feet.
With incredible speed, his arm shot out to wrap its fingers around her wrist and one thing she noticed foremost was how icy to the touch his skin was against hers'. It was frighteningly cold. Almost like a corpse.
“Are you always this cold?” She asked, noting to his skin temperature rather than his character.
Alec took back his arm just as fast as he reached out and Jessica blinked at the speed which he did. She almost missed it and thought, what a fast reflex.
“I think it’s good if you go.” He said with the absence of his usual friendly tone.
Jessica wanted to see his eyes that was always hidden by his hood and slightly bent down without being too noticeable. He smoothly turned slightly and lowered his chin, barring her catching a potential glance.
She frowned, confused by his actions. What was he hiding? Was he..deformed somehow? Did he have lazy eyes? Could he be blind?
“Look, I know we are basically strangers, but..I’m not going to judge whatever. I knew people who did morally questionable things when they got drunk so..yeah I did low key judged them but it was low key…”
“Go.” He patiently said.
“Okay, goodbye. Just remember that.” She turned and carefully stepped down the stone stairs. When she arrived on the ground, Jessica glanced back and saw that the mystery boy had been standing in the same spot and if his eyes were not covered, they’d have met.
What a weird boy. She thought. There was something unnerving about him like the Cullens’. They looked normal..well in sense that they had two arms, two legs, a nose, a lip and two eyes just like her but there was something that set her apart from them that she just couldn’t identify. It was like they were different -- a world different.
Alec broke the contact, turning on his heels and stalking away.

Jupiter in Capricorn 2/12/2019-31/10/2020
Aries and Libra
Aries/Libra Sun
Sun square Jupiter natal gives great opportunities for success but also some tests of character along the way. You are very fortunate but also have to make your own luck. Lucky breaks and popularity can lead to an inflated ego and other excesses in life. For example, you may have a tendency to overestimate your own abilities or resources. This could lead to a scattering of energy or wasting money on unnecessary luxuries.
Aries/Libra moon
Moon square Jupiter transit gives a general feeling of well-being and ease but rarely results in any dramatic events. Socializing is favored but you may have to watch a tendency toward excess when it comes to food, alcohol, and drugs. You may experience changeable moods, and changing tastes can present difficulties if you have wandering eyes.
Aries Rising
This is a time to gain in status, particularly on the professional front, but could also indicate marriage in some cases. Jupiter in your tenth house is a very fortunate place for this expansive planet. Increased public recognition and professional success characterizes this position.

This is a time of spiritual contentment–of coming to terms with power and sharing issues in your life. During this cycle, you are less sensitive to power struggles and issues of sharing resources. You are less likely to resort to manipulative tactics, and less concerned about leaving yourself emotionally vulnerable to others. You may see benefits in the areas of joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters during this cycle. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis–you can be leaned upon. Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. An insurance settlement, tax rebate, or an inheritance could come your way, and this is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. A new home or new car is possible now.

Work tends to be very available to you. Menial tasks tend to take priority, but you are likely to enjoy doing them. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness–this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result. As well, the more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper this year, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth. Some people get a new pet during this cycle.
Cancer
Cancer Sun
Sun opposite Jupiter transit brings opportunities for success, good fortune and increased happiness. Everything will seem to fall in place without too much effort, leading you to believe you are on a lucky streak or gifted in some way. If you let any good fortune go to your head then this transit can result in loss, embarrassment and a lowering of self-esteem.
Cancer Moon
Moon opposite Jupiter transit brings good feelings and generosity but also the potential for lack self-control and unwanted attention. If you are a shy person this is a good transit for sharing your feelings and opening up to your loved ones. You should feel more relaxed and sociable. However, your good cheer can turn to unhappiness if your kindness is seen as a weakness by others. Take care that your overly generous mood is not taken advantage of.
Cancer Rising
This is a period in your life that is very conducive to partnering and/or winning public approval. You find much joy in sharing your life with a special someone during this cycle. Learning a lot about yourself through a partner is likely now. You may enjoy benefits through marriage, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and contractual agreements. This is a year when you are more likely to establish or solidify a significant partnership. A partner from a different cultural background could expand your life view now. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief or it is a “blessing in disguise”. Meeting someone better for you may be a reason for this. You can negotiate more successfully than ever, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work takes you before the public, you can safely expect popularity. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or successful new ones are entered into this year.
Scorpio and Pisces
Scorpio/Pisces Sun
Sun sextile Jupiter transit brings optimism, good luck and happiness. Depending on whether you believe in fate or free will, you either get lucky or your positive thinking attracts good fortune. Either way, this is one of the most fortunate of all transits in astrology.
Scorpio/Pisces Moon
Moon sextile Jupiter transit makes you want to be with other people and have fun. This is a great time to catch up with old friends or spend time with family. All existing relationships, especially those with women, will be warm and enjoy emotional growth.

During this long-term trend, neighbors or relatives could be especially beneficial. Your knowledge grows and your ability to disseminate this knowledge sharpens. You express your ideas with more enthusiasm, and they are received well. You are able to understand complex subjects and explain them in such a way that others can readily understand; thus, teaching or authoring may be prosperous now. Opportunities for travel or advanced study may present themselves. This might be a good time to take a course due to the fact that you are more receptive to learning and expanding your knowledge and skills. You may decide to buy a new car, or transportation opportunities present themselves, making it much easier for you to get from point A to point B.

You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your own goals.

Capricorn
Capricorn Sun
Sun conjunct Jupiter transit gives a general feeling of well-being, happiness, and optimism. Good luck at this time can be seen as an opportunity for growth, personal, professional and spiritual. You should feel this as an urge or a strong desire to do all you can, experience everything to the fullest. Just as you may be the beneficiary of compliments, gifts or money, you will also be more generous and bubbly.
Capricorn Moon
Moon conjunct Jupiter transit makes you feel happy and content. You will want to share your good mood, making this a good time for socializing and partying. This is a time of optimism, generosity and good fortune.
Capricorn Rising
At the beginning of its transit through the first house, Jupiter is conjunct your Ascendant, marking a time of much optimism and cheerfulness. Throughout its journey through the first house, Jupiter’s transit brings noticeable improvements to your environment as well as self-confidence to your personality. You are more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic. This transit heightens your optimism and increases your generosity. This cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now–it’s the future that you’re eyeing now. You are filled with faith in the universe–faith that everything will work out. This is an excellent period for self-improvement. Dealings with the public are favored, and others tend to look at you as a leader. Events occur that help you overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable–you have an altogether different perspective on life now, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You want to create a distinct first impression on others, and you tend to do just that. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You feel considerably more free to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily. You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of extreme behavior. Weight gain is often associated with this transit. Be careful that a carefree attitude doesn’t end up a careless one. Particularly if Jupiter’s transit trines planets in the fifth and/or ninth, this is a favorable time for creative matters, romance, travel, and higher education.
