ceto, the sea goddess (asteroid 65489)
Tumblr media
Keto is the daughter of the titans Pontus and Gaea. As a primordial being, Keto was meant to represent the dangers of the sea. Infamously, she is known for having marriage Phorcys with whom she had the Phorcydes, also known as the monsters of the sea - Gorgons (Medusa included), Echidna, Ladon, Graeae, etc. IN MY OPINION Ceto in your chart can represent a) how you are seen as evil, b) what you produce that others find evil, c) your fertility, and/or d) your relationship with the ocean and its darkest depths.
Tumblr media
i encourage you to look into the aspects of ceto along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of ceto AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede ceto!
OTHER RELATED ASTEROIDS: gaea (1184) and medusa (149)!

Being in Ed recovery is honestly so frustrating when I’m constantly bombarded by my illness being normalized
The very same behaviors I did and was called crazy for are praised when others do it. The same exact behaviors

Not to be all hot take about it but being anti diet is great as long as you're willing to recognize that the anti diet community is full of just as much misinformation as the pro diet community.
And to be clear: this is not in support of the pro diet community. Just an observation that both extremes have got their shit messed up.

South Node and how we detached from our partners: Synastry Edition (part 1)
Tumblr media
Ok, I have to say that even though SN is a really karmic point in our chart, I recently found out that all that theory of reincarnation and past life is something really recent (apparently) and in old vendic astrology they consider North Node and South Node shadow planets, I don't necessarily dismiss the reincarnation and past karma theory, but in my little research I found interesting how they see this shadow planets like a challenging energy (malefics), for North Node is mainly known for its obsessive, tricky and materialistic characteristics (due to its lack of a physical body) and the South Node is known for it's detachment, elusive and introspective characteristics (due to the lack of a head).
Accordingly to what I already explained, I notice that it makes a lot of sense to see their effect in that area of our chart, and in the area of others chart (synastry), I notice something that change a lot in old vendic astrology is that they don't try to make people erase their SN, instead they encourage people to learn both lesson (Rahu and Ketu) and also Ketu, even with it's malefic energy, is really prominent in charts of great astrologers.
With that in mind, we can say Ketu make us detached from all the material word and the tangible, so it's effects force an introspection (the kind of introspection is going to be dictated by the sign Ketu is in) that is going to take away our physical sense in the area of our life, example: if you have Ketu in cancer in the 5th house, your going to have an emotional introspection that make you detached to your children, your creative project, your childhood or your inner child, this is to gain a sense of reflection and individualism (a head) in that area of our life.
Tumblr media
Now we will see how ketu detachment can manifest in synastry depending of the axis it touch:
Their/your Ketu in the 1st house: With this position there's an obsession with the relationship (Rahu in the 7th house) and a lack of interest in the other person journey and vital energy, the Ketu person may feel an strong disconnection with the house person (this doesn't mean the connection is not stronger, it's more like apathy), the energy of the house person could remembered the ketu person hard lesson and experience they go through in their natal ketu's house, this relationship could feel strong and even absorbent (Rahu in the 7th house) to the house person, while at the same time could feel disregarded by the Ketu person. As close as ketu is to the rising of the house person, as hard is going to be for ketu person to acknowledge house person challenges mastering their rising energy. Ketu person may feel annoyed by the house person needs to assert their rising energy, and at some point Keto person could project their past experiences in the house person.
Tumblr media
Their/your Ketu in the 2nd house: We'll see how hard is to overcome Ketu malefic energy in every area of our life, but I personally think it gets harder in personal houses, this can create dynamics where Ketu person feels house person's likes shallow, while aiming for a more intimate connection where the "we" overshadowed the "I", Rahu malefic nature could use inconsiderately the joint patrimony (Rahu in the 8th), using and abusing house person needs and wants. Ketu person feels totally disconnected from the other person needs, while trying to build a intimated relationships with the other person, there's a confused feeling about the other person, both could feel misunderstood even when there's a strong attachment and security around the other person. I have this synastry with my mother I can tell I hardly understand what she needs, she's well more aware about my need even though I had overstep her boundaries.
Tumblr media
Their/your Ketu in the 3rd house: This is hard to almost every type of relationship, ketu person doesn't feel call to listen to house person daily experiences, and with this lack of communication is hard to settled a good relationship, even when you resonate with their phylosophy (Rahu in 9th house), I mostly seen this in friendships where ketu person talk to everyone but the house person, conversations turn dry after a little time, there's a strong frustration from the house person cause ketu person makes them feel not interesting enough, and this crashed everyone perception of themselves. Rahu in the 9th house do little for this, because while you may sense that this connection could go deeper, or even feeling curious enough to try to get information about house person, when there's a chance to connect, Keto effects make the interaction boring and shallow.
Tumblr media
Their/your Ketu in the 4th house: this is fan-artist synastry most of the time, Ketu person knows little about the house person, but what the see is enough to feel caught up in these glamorous image house person projects (Rahu in the 10th), this could work well if the house person has planets in public houses, but if they have personal planets in the personal houses (from 1st to 6th), house person is not going to resonate with the complements Ketu person can give to them. For most long-term relationships, this can create a burble between the natives, they are there to be seen but not to relate deeply, house person could spend years with Ketu person, but feeling like they know nothing about their life, it's like a tree without roots (exceptions if house person has planets conjunct Ketu, this could bring strong attachment). Ketu may lack warm in their approach to house person, but sometimes when house person lack motivation to grow their careers and fulfill their dreams, Rahu influence in the 10th house is a great influence and can make power couples.
Tumblr media
Their/your Ketu in the 5th house: Another hard placements, 5th house is actually really misunderstood, we'll talk about that later, but, something harder than not being appreciate or listened, it's not being acknowledge for things you consider special about yourself, in 5th we develop a sense of self that define and different us from others, ketu person could not care less about this, usually I see this in friends where house person is interested in a relationship but ketu person just see house person as a friend, a helpful one, someone who's there to help them through challenge, more than a close friendship, this is way more like the house person being ketu person's guard angel. I'd seen this in mother/kids relationships and it's hard cause neither the mother nor kid can have a fulfilling relationship, usually the ketu person try to keep a more impersonal treatment in the relationship.
Tumblr media
Their/your Ketu in the 6th house: ketu here is similar that in 2nd house, but I found this more like a hyper idealized relationship (Rahu in the 12th house), these could be found in dynamics where Ketu person wants a deeply idealistic connection with the house person (obsession is strong with Rahu in the 12th house), but then find out how hard is to function day to day with the house person, ketu creates apathy in every house it is, but in 6th house, ketu tend to be quite distant from the routine of the house person, I've seen this in friends with benefits, where they tend to meet once in a while, so it's hard to be part of someone's life when you don't grow with this person process (adaptation process= 6th house), ketu person doesn't identify with house person daily challenges trying to find a place in this word, they could feel that the house person is way too immerse in their day to day, and can't find more valuable meaning in their life, house person just don't adjust to universe flow, according to ketu expectations (Rahu in 12th house), this placements makes harder to acknowledge one's fault because of 12th house effect.
...
Disclaimer: This interpretation can change according to other synastry aspects, example: if you have sn in someone 3rd house, if can change if mercury is trine Jupiter, cause Jupiter is going to expand communication in a harmonious way (trine).

Funny how things fall together. My friend who also lives on site at the kennel, in a house with some gorgeous land around, has a pretty good sized family and they've decided they want to start raising their own meat and eggs ❤️ their garden is great, and we've got blackberries, apple, and pear trees
I've been missing a big part of myself not being able to have a relationship with farming here.
They're kind, friendly, normal people, which is a strange experience after the mountain keto cult. I'm still unraveling a lot of gaslighting from that experience.
My friend, the mushroom guy, told me he realized through our friendship that he wanted to get serious about putting down roots, learning skills, and teaching his kid different values. That's a really strange honor to be given. He was dead serious and asked me on a hike to tell me
I am so excited about doing whatever work needs done and helping with my experience. Thankfully his wife grew up on a family farm so she's got a grounded perspective. The rabbits are doing great and we're thinking chickens first, then mobile electric fence netting and dwarf goats to rotationally move around and clear off the property
This isn't something I saw coming whatsoever before moving here; I'd resigned myself that this stage of my life was to get my footing and prepare for the next farm community. Or even for renting land myself, if I could find likeminded people. What an absolute blessing

My mom has been battling stage 3 pancreatic cancer and 2 days ago, she completed her 4th chemotherapy session. She has 2 more to go before they assess it to remove the tumor.
She was diagnosed on November 28, 2023. She began chemotherapy December 26, 2023 and was admitted to the emergency room later that day from complications. She was discharged December 29, 2023 and my family came down to Florida on December 30, 2023.
On her birthday, January 2, 2024, after her follow-up meeting with her oncologist. She was feeling defeated about how things had been happening since her diagnosis. She vocalized no desire to live in front of us (including my 12 year old daughter (her only grandchild)).
My family (my spouse, daughter & myself), at the suggestion of my spouse made the commitment to be her ongoing support system. This is so she could make whatever decision she wanted regarding how she chooses to proceed with her diagnosis.
I personally committed to split time between our 2 bedroom home in Durham, North Carolina & her 1 bedroom apartment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to make sure we could commit to her health treatment planned as it began taking effect on December 26, 2023.
We did not request anything from anybody and agreed to take on the additional financial burdens it would place on us to fulfill this commitment, (despite knowing we weren't in the financial situation to do so).
We arranged things so my spouse and daughter could return to school in NC on January 8th. I stayed back with my mom for that chemo week. Since I'm a business owner with time flexibility, I would make the trips and stay with my mom throughout the treatment windows in Florida.
This agreement means renting a car for an one-way trip to North Carolina or Florida weekly (a $200-275 expense & 11-14 hours of travel time per trip). The first time we brought her up to NC ever, my spouse drove our car down to get us and then shared in the responsibility of driving back to NC. It cost us $250 in fuel and food for the trip. We realized it gave my mom & I more flexibility in travel days, saved on time spent on the road, and cost the same to just rent a car (Chevrolet Malibu) for each trip.
This agreement meant now sourcing food with all my mom's health dietary restrictions (from having a gastric sleeve) & her diagnosis dietary restrictions for 2 households. As well as me preparing most meals for both homes while I'm in and away from NC. In addition, replacing gluten with gluten-free alternatives in the diet. (A lot more coconut and almond based supplies). Cooking meals for a family of four that works and can be considered Keto-friendly and cancer friendly and while trying to stay under a budget of $300-$350 monthly.
Since we've implemented this plan to be her support system, all hell has broken loose in our lives. (My mom calls it just life lifing though).
On Martin Luther King weekend, began a school district wide issue in my Daughter's school system. Different staff began protesting and calling out of work (which we personally support their stances) due to significant pay discrepancies being communicated.
This immediately meant unreliable transportation for my daughter getting to & from school 25+ minutes away. My spouse teaches in a different school system 20 minutes in the opposite direction of my daughter's school, and we only have one car. Since she started middle school this year, their school school arrival times are the same. But her bus pick-up time solved the problem there. So there is now an ongoing possibility of him being late to work at his school daily.
On our first trip back down for treatment, it went perfect with the rental, until I realized after returning the rental car that I had lost my business cellphone inside of the rental car. (It hasn't been found by Budget's staff during cleaning and the car had already been rented out again less than 2 hours after being dropped off.) So I still have to pay to get that phone replaced.
This is compiled on top of this being my businesses' slow season and having no reserves to catch the $950 overhead in monthly expenses that comes from inventory space, business insurance, & hosting email domains, office assistant services & website. We only one future booking on the calendar and it's for a new build. January there was only $900 made. $300 had to go towards having to subrent out the job because it over lapped with chemo treatment and would cost twice as much to keep in-house with temp staff. $150 went towards repaying our transaction based capital funding loan from Shopify. $120 went towards getting 2 items of inventory for the second booking.
So I borrowed funds from something I couldn't afford to take from just to keep all of our inventory spaces secured.
My Chase credit card is over the limit by $140 and a payment is due today. My secure loan payment with Navy Federal is also due today and I don't have any of it. My business insurance payment of $200 is due tomorrow, and I don't have that either.
And the difference in the cost for our last car rental to come down for chemo week is still due back to the card I used for it. And I have to pay 200 for the car rental to go back up to NC Monday.
Then back in NC, this week on Tuesday, our only car's engine light came on. It was taken into our dealership on Wednesday morning to find out why. That diagnostic end up costing $250. We finally got answers Friday afternoon. Our car has 139k miles on it, and we're being told the engine needs to be replaced. It has been quoted $8k to have a used engine put into it or over $12k to have a new engine with a lifetime warranty put into our 2016 Chevrolet Cruze premier.
This car gets everyone to school and has been how my spouse has been supplementing his income working for the school system and parks & rec by doing Shipt. So now income has been reduced even more and expenses have drastically increased more.
MY business first official rental booking for this year took place yesterday, and that was supposed to be able to be delivered using our car. Since it's still in the shop, we had to book a last-minute $200 car rental for my spouse and daughter to fulfill the booking delivery yesterday and to be able to go back to do the rental booking pick-up today.
Emergency fund is pretty much exhausted after this week and the savings, too. Then today, with a little downtime, I learn that all my email payments were due on MLK weekend. This resulted in 5 email domains (3 important ones needed for tax filings) to be canceled by godaddy after 2 weeks of missing the payment notifications. I've had the email plan for almost 10 years, and it initially only cost me $14/month for all 5 emails. But because it was canceled and the package no longer exists, it cost me $29/month to have them reactivate and restore the 3 important emails or over $70/month to get them all reactivated. I only activated the 3 and paid it up until April for $59, so I don't miss its before filing taxes.
This week in Florida, my mom's cancer treatment visits started charging her a copay. Due to an error that recently took place on the backend by her health insurance. It's taking longer to resolve it with then despite them already seeing that it'san error in their coordination of benefits process. This week alone, we had to pay $325 in co-pays just to avoid the chemotherapy and white blood cell visits at the oncologist from being canceled by their office. The error is still causing a previous $200 outstanding balance to reflect on her account.
TODAY, it all became too much to hold in any longer. I have never had to face this many trials all at once while still having ongoing ones coming my way. My heart, mind & spirit is heavy right now. I need GOD to do something supernatural for my family in this season. In a way, only God can show up. I'm not broken. My faith isn't shaken. We're not going back on our commitment. Cancer won't defeat my family! We're breaking so many generational cycles right now. Cancer was just the catalyst to expedite the process.

I need to have another serious conversation with you guys, this time about unwilling vore and fatal vore
WARNING: DISCUSSIONS OF R@PE, MURDER
I am leaving this marked for everyone because I believe that we can be mature enough to have a civil, serious conversation on this topic together, which ultimately, everyone in this community should consider, because this is VERY important.
****
These past couple weeks have just been one thing after the other after the other
First, transitioning into a Keto diet to lose some weight left me with horrible carb-flu for a week (withdrawal of carbs producing flu-like symptoms such as body aches and cramps),
Then I had to wake up at 7:30 and 6 respectively on summer days for high school graduation rehersal and graduation,
I was struggling to hold myself together at graduation because of my school-related trauma,
My brother and dad got into a fight on the way home,
Today I had to go through four and a half hours straight of online college orientation,
And now, finally, once I reached that online orientation's interactive module about sexual misconduct and what exactly rape is, I utterly broke. Because there it was right in my face, a statement that I had already known since I was old enough to understand the concept, yet something which I had never seemed to fully process the implications of when applying it to this community.
"If the sexual activity is done without the active, informed consent of both partners, its rape."
It's no secret that I have indeed written some NSFW stories which have since, thanks to a previous discussion, been properly marked as mature and will be reblogged onto my NSFW blog on a once every Monday schedule, but, it is also no secret that some of those NSFW stories, sexually charged fics, feature unwilling vore.
Or, to state it more bluntly, per the definition above, they feature rape. I have willingly written rape, read over the rape multiple times, thoroughly enjoying it, and have put it out for the world to see. Especially considering that these stories were available to everyone including minors for quite some time, I cannot see how this is anything other than abhorrent. I was taking enjoyment from the sexual abuse I was writing into existence, and I feel utterly sick.
It seems to me now that "unwilling vore", particularly in the NSFW vore community, is simply a way of saying "rape" that makes it less taboo and more acceptable to talk about and create content for. It's become so normalized now, that I could not find a single post in the "unwilling vore" tag that was having this discussion when I searched for it. Instead it was all posts glorifying the concept, which ultimately, in an NSFW context, is rape. Period.
This can also extend to fatal vore and how I so enjoyed writing and reading about acidic murders. It's murder. Full stop. Especially in an NSFW context, I should not be enjoying such a concept.
But I do.
And honestly, I'm not entirely sure that removing the NSFW context makes it okay either. It may not be sexual, and thus won't constitute as rape, but just think about how paralyzingly traumatic the experience would be to an unwilling prey...and for fatal vore, it is most certainly still murder! Why am I normalizing and glorifying this kind of stuff? Why?
What the hell have I been doing for these past few years? Why have I loved and enjoyed so deeply this concept and this community which encompasses such abhorrent actions and not only normalizes them but turns them into hot fun time fics?
I have no idea anymore, and I have tipple the no idea of how I was able to last like this for so long without any sort of justification to speak of. Was I just suppressing what I already knew because I was scared to face reality? Honestly, I think that might be it.
I'm sorry, I'm just rambling at this point but I honestly have no idea anymore. I just feel awful, that's the bottom line. Rape and murder, in stories that are sexual. That is what I have created. I am nothing more than an insensitive, uncaring, unsympathetic, immoral, horrific piece of shit who thought for years that this was okay. These things have hurt real people in real life. I feel like I am shitting on their stories and their experiences for each and every single NSFW unwilling vore and fatal vore story I have created. Glorifying, normalizing, and sexualizing the pain, agony, and trauma these real people went through, for nothing more than my own pleasure. How am I not behind bars? (/gen)
