#the promised prize for moving gemini onward

[tangledinink]

So. Leo and Donnie grew up under Big Mama's care to eventually become the infamous Gemini in the Battle Nexus... And Mikey has been raised by Baron Draxum to fulfill the prophecy... Well, where's Raph?

(treasure of the shrine) (tireless devotee) (pledged martyr)

enter -> raphael, child of the foot clan

raph grew up under the protective eye of the foot, raised on endless tales of the clan's grand mission and the essential role he would play in it. his value was very clear from the moment he came into the clan's possession as an infant, given the inherent, powerful mystical energy already laying dormant inside him. though he cannot wield any magick himself, he often spends long hours meditating in the clan's shrine, bathing in mystic energy, awaiting the day he can don the dark armor and awaken their master shredder with his life force. as per clan tradition, he was never given a name and is instead officially referred to by his title-- oblation.

though he is just as devoted to his ninja training as any other clan recruit, his future role makes him far too valuable to be sent on missions or risk combat. in fact, he very rarely leaves the safety of shredder's shrine. this doesn't bother oblation, however. he is perfectly content in his role, and proud of what his anticipated sacrifice will achieve. his faith and trust in the clan are absolute and unwavering. however...

though small children are rarely recruited by the clan, there was one other. recruit calls oblation "obby." and obby calls her "cru." they met when obby was nine and cru was ten and have been inseparable ever since, training side by side. though obby is technically considered a higher rank than her, neither of them have achieved full clan membership yet. obby will not earn his place until he completes his one and only mission, and one that he will do entirely on his own-- bring forth the shredder.

(and recruit is loyal. recruit believes fully in the clan's divine mission. recruit will give whatever the foot asks of her. but as obby's promised sacrifice looms ever closer, she finds herself harboring more and more doubt.)

Jupiter Direct: Lessons Learned

Jupiter goes direct on September 12, 2020. This is the beginning of the change with the major planets in Capricorn. Since Jupiter entered the sign of Capricorn late last year, we have witnessed the immense difference between its run in Sagittarius. This is because Jupiter went from its domicile to its fall. The planet is not running at full speed so we are not seeing the gifts and blessings we might have experienced when it was in Sagittarius. Nevertheless, Jupiter direct will still provide us with the blessings we need, but not in such an expansive way. With Saturn in its rulership, Jupiter also seems have adapted the qualities of Saturn and has also provided us with restrictions and blockages. With the planet no longer in retrograde, we can benefit more from it from a practical standpoint. Our experiences earlier in the year as well as those from the beginnings of the Saturn transit, will allow us to put what we learn to practice.

Aries – You can now feel more confident in your goals and potential. What once felt like a blockage will now be removed. The road ahead feels easier and you can see where you are headed clearly. It will be a time to fight for what you want in the professional world or to make your mark. You will not be afraid of the spotlight.

Taurus – During retrograde you might have felt a little more connected with the world around you. It was a spiritual moment for you. Jupiter direct, you can feel more compassionate, more spiritual and will have you take on the role of teacher for others. Use what you have learned to make great changes since others will seek your guidance.

Gemini – A change in the way you view yourself will ignite positive changes around you. Whatever felt restricted by Jupiter and Saturn will now flow easier for you. Set your eyes on the prize, you’ve got this. Jupiter direct is a more promising and luckier moment in time for you. Material things are not as important. This transit will allow you to see the blessings surrounding you as you become more appreciative of the people in your life.

Cancer – With Jupiter direct in Capricorn, you will understand the setbacks in relationships have empowered you. Saturn has reshaped you and taught you that people are hard to understand. This Jupiter transit gives you the knowledge you have acquired through experience. Prioritize your needs and wants but also be communicative with friends and partners in order achieve balanced relationships.

Leo – Many changes would have been made by you when Jupiter was retrograde. There may have been moments where you might have felt opportunities slipping away. Jupiter direct has you ready because you have understood what was holding you back. Your work environment becomes easier, your focus on yourself becomes healthier and more practical.

Virgo – Jupiter in Capricorn has taught you how to push yourself a little out of your comfort zone. There is a focus on your ability and potential with this transit. When it was retrograde you might have been more contemplative about yourself and those relationships you might have attracted, now with this planet direct, you will be ready to experience excitement, joy and even the love you might have denied yourself.

Libra – You would have had to tackle many issues surrounding work and home during these transits. Finding a common ground with your past and future might have also been a pressure. With Jupiter direct, you can move forward and achieve that balance you have desired. Expect that confidence to build up and you will see that fighting spirit come through.

Scorpio – This can be the dreamer’s transit with Jupiter here allowing you to feel connected to so much more. You will want to learn more and seek new ways to grow your personal craft and perfect talent. Jupiter direct will give you the confidence to share with others, seek guidance through a mentor or just continue to elevate your game.

Sagittarius – There might have been a lot of setbacks during this transit. You will now feel so me of the benefic energy since Jupiter is your ruler. This has been another lesson you needed to learn, carrying over from your Saturn transit. The focus now will be on who you are and how your stability is tied to your ideology. Income flows better. It will be an easier time for building or planning for the road ahead.

Capricorn – It is one of the major chapters before these major planets in your sign move later this year. You have learned so much and grown. Now, Jupiter direct has you contemplating your place in the world as well as your next steps. The version of yourself from 2017 is much different to the one now. This experience has reshaped your ideology and purpose as you strive for more future successes to come.

Aquarius – The changes will now begin for your sign as we prepare for the end of the year. With Jupiter Retrograde you might have had to dive deep to discover who you are and encountered your spiritual side. Jupiter direct will help you fight off your self-doubts and feel more empowered and connected to the world. You have a heart of gold, willing to make those changes for the betterment of others. The past cannot hold you back as you prepare and look onward to the next chapter.

Pisces – With so much happening in the world during Jupiter Retrograde, you have probably become more engaged to social causes and have a new appreciation for the people in your life right now. Jupiter direct will give you the confidence and energy to make changes for the better. You no longer will feel restrained your own thoughts, instead you feel stronger because of the support system and people that are there for you.
