Bérénice (Jean Racine, 1670) is an INSANE PLAY because NOTHING HAPPENS, it's a tragedy but no one dies!!! And it's even worse!!! It's the most painful breakup you will ever read, they are doomed by the narrative and they know it and they barely fight it "malgré lui et malgré elle", they are in their forties and they are so reasonable but they wish they weren't and its so much more tragic, they have loved each other for YEARS, they have been so happy, and they love each other so much but they will both die alone, quietly alone, they wish they could die at the end of the play, for their love, "j'espérais mourir à vos yeux" but they can't, they want to be Romeo and Juliet but they can't, they have be mature and they have to part from one another but Titus will never learn how to live without Bérénice and Bérénice will never learn how to live without Titus, i'm going to time travel and kill racine with my bare hands

I bought a new edition of Aşk-ı Memnu (yes, this is the fifth one…) but I have a great justification: This one is the 1925 edition converted into the Latin alphabet (Turks used Arabic letters until 1928) instead of being based on Halit Ziya’s own simplification of its language in 1939 like all the other editions are. So, this is the original text! I am finally going to read it as the author originally wrote it in 1899. I will reread the book cover to cover in this edition, but even flipping through it I could catch a couple of changes. Most of the changes are really just about the language, but there are a couple of cultural details too. Most significant I could catch is in this passage:

“Then the lesson would begin. Nihal was now translating little pieces on morals for her father to check in the evening, transposing easy poems into prose, writing letters on the principles of daily life. While Mlle de Courton was busy with Nihal, Bülent, all of the way on the other side of the desk, would not lift the pen from the inkwell in order to fill his conjugation book, which was always behindhand. Sometimes Mlle de Courton’s gaze would fall on Bülent and she would shout at him in a stern voice: ‘Bülent!…’

Bülent would finally tire of the verb he was only able to write seriously through to the second person imperative, and there, between the imperative and the optative, would be discovered in the act of scribbling a palace composed of eight or ten wonky lines, or a pot with something in the middle of it that did not resemble a flower.”

(Chapter 3) (italics mine)

In the original version, in the italicized part there is the detail that Nihal is converting Racine’s Esther into prose, in the later version (which the above is a translation of) it just says that she is converting “easy poems”. I don’t know why Halit Ziya changed it. Maybe Racine’s Esther stopped being considered culturally relevant in the intervening 40 years? It is intriguing.

And no one in my town got it. Any of it.

They didn’t get my desperate need for escape, why I wanted out, now. Sure, they’d leave town for shows and whatnot, but they always seemed content to return.

At the same time, they didn’t get the things I loved about our town; didn’t seem to love them in the intense way I did. Like the alley, and the whole downtown. Like the ugly lake. Like all the diners and greasy spoons; how for a while we still had a real drive-in restaurant where the waitstaff brought your fries and sandwiches right to your car. Like the roller rink, and the haunted places, and the secret drinking spots in the woods out by the power plant. The vacant lots; the rubble of long-abandoned buildings soon to be torn down. The wild, weedy places near the lake, where sometimes in late summer you’d find bushes sagging with blackberries free for the taking, dark burst in the mouth. Like the post-war subdivision out by the old Horlick Malted Milk factory, where all the streets were named after planets or stars. I’d drive past Polaris Avenue and think of The Adventures of Pete and Pete. Or I’d park my car and walk around, look up at the scummy water tower and think of The Replacements; think of climbing it, screaming I can’t hardly wait.

No one knew what I was all about, like flipping off cops, and reading Kerouac.

Mound Cemetery // November 17, 2023 (Racine, WI)

Mound Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Racine, and is so named because of the effigy and burial mounds that existed in the location long before white settlers were buried there. We took the kids there on a field trip last week, after teaching them about the tribes whose lands we live on, and about Native American burial mounds in general. We of course visited all the still-extant mounds there (one of which is pictured in the fourth photo from the top), but I also took photographs of some of the most interesting graves. I was particularly fond of the one pictured in the third photo; where, over time, the tree has grown so its branches rest on top of the stone. And I had to take a picture of the grave in the bottom-most photograph: Captain William Bones is buried there! Like Bill Bones, aka The Captain, from Treasure Island!

Asteroids Related to the Mind, Body, and Soul - A Different Perspective of Your Self in Your Birth Chart

We all know the placements of our major planets and points and what aspects they make. But there are a few asteroids that may reflect your being in a way you hadn't seen before. Maybe you felt there was a layer missing from your astrological profile. Add these asteroids to see…

13954, 55555, 11051, 3349, 16, 2815, 23437, 390, 37452, 1488

Born 13954

Named after Max Born, a German-Jewish physicist and mathematician

Can be read as born, as in birth

Could give context to where and how you were born, circumstances around your birth

I have mine conjunct North Node in Libra in the 3rd house. I have a feeling this is not so much about my own birth as it is about me having children. I think this only because there are a lot of other markers in my chart related to children and marriage.

DNA 55555

Named after DNA, our genetic instructions

Astrologically, could refer to your family, genetic traits, or anything that is passed down from one generation to the next

I have mine conjunct the Arabic lot for grandparents [ASC+Jupiter-House 2nd] in Sagittarius in 4th House. My grandmother’s Sun sign is in Sagittarius, and even though we don't know my grandfather's exact birthdate, it is either in Sagittarius or Capricorn. The 4th house has to do with the home, family, mother, etc., which matches since they are my maternal grandparents.

Racine 11051

Named after Jean Racine, a French author from the 1600s

Racine means root or origin in French

Could refer to genealogical roots, your home, ethnic origins, or anything that gives you feel a sense of familiarity

Mine is trine Patria 1347 (and Jupiter) and semi-sextile Saturn. Patria means native country or homeland. Saturn typically refers to male authority figures and fathers. I have always been interested in my family history and I ask my dad about it ALL THE TIME.

[Your First and/or Last Name asteroid]

My last name asteroid is conjunct Nobel 6032. I wish! haha

Manas 3349

Named after Epic of Manas, a Kyrgyz epic poem

Can be read as manas meaning the mind that makes us different from animals in Sanskrit

Mine is quintile Soma 2815 (further down). An interesting connection between mind and body…It is also trine my Mercury and Uranus, planets associated with the mind, thought, and intellect.

Psyche 16

Named after Psyche, the Greek goddess of the soul

Psyche refers to the human soul, mind, or spirit

Mine is trine Moon (Aquarius), sextile Venus (Aries), sextile POF (Leo), sextile Aura (Aries). These are mostly feminine planets, but all my feminine planets are in masculine signs. A mix between feminine and masculine ways of being? I'm overall a very feminine person, but emotionally, I process things in a more traditionally masculine way.

Soma 2815

Named after Soma cube, a puzzle invented by Piet Hein, which in turn was named after the drug called soma featured in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Soma is also a word meaning the body of an organism

Mine is conjunct Alma 390 in Pisces in the 8th House. Although I am very Aquarian, I do have my Aquarius Sun very close to Pisces and my Mars is also in Pisces. These two planets are prominent and strong in my natal chart. Even if I am very Aquarian, I can see an underlying Pisces nature in me, supported by this Soma-Alma conjunction.

Sima 23437

Unknown name origin; discovered by Czech astronomer, Antonín Mrkos

Could have been named after Josef Šíma, a Czech modernist painter, but this is just my own guess. Please don’t quote me on this.

Sima means face and implies a beautiful face in Iranian and Turkish languages.

The only one out of the lot to aspect my ascendant but it’s a minor aspect (semi-square). 😕 Hopefully, this means something good about my face lol 😏

Alma 390

Named after the Alma River in the Crimean Mountains

Alma is a popular name meaning apple in Crimean Tatar and in many other languages

But can also be read as alma meaning spirit and soul in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, and kindness in Latin

As mentioned earlier, conjunct Soma.

Spirit 37452

Named after Spirit, the Mars Exploration Rover

Can be read as spirit meaning our soul and the intangible parts of ourselves

My Spirit is in Scorpio in the 3rd house trine Sun and Mars, both of which are prominent in my chart. Also, square Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune, another prominent configuration in my chart.

Aura 1488

Named after Aura River in Finland

Can be read as aura meaning the energy we give off and that surrounds us

Conjunct Venus in Aries 8th house, square Jupiter, quintile Neptune, and trine POF. Glad these planets are seen as fortunate and/or expansive. 😮‍💨 Do I give off a more happy-go-lucky vibe in person? 🤔

NOTE: These asteroids can be interpreted in many different ways just like planets. If it doesn’t “make sense” to you, maybe the asteroid is supposed to be interpreted in a different way in your chart.

If one or more of these asteroids are prominent in your natal chart, it can affect synastry with another person too. For example, I have Alma conjunct Soma conjunct my Saturn in Pisces in the 8th House. Someone else with their personal planets in Pisces (especially in the same degree) might leave a greater impression on me or affect me deeply. Anything touching my Saturn will most likely also touch my Alma-Soma conjunction.

Real-life example: I just discovered an artist that I REALLY like. Been listening to their music on repeat every day, no breaks. It's getting insane 🥲😂 He has so many personal planets in Pisces and conjunct my Alma-Soma conjunction too. Not to mention there's also an Eros trine Psyche synastric aspect.

Let me know what aspects and placements you guys find with these asteroids ☄️
