Astro Observation: Commonalities in Billionaires' Charts

Taking a look at the charts of the top 15 richest people in the world as of 2022 (list taken from Forbes)

Subjects:

Elon Musk

Jeff Bezos

Bernard Arnault

Bill Gates

Warren Buffett

Larry Page

Sergey Brin

Larry Ellison

Steve Ballmer

Mukesh Ambani

Gautam Adani

Michael Bloomberg

Carlos Slim Helu

Francoise Bettencourt Meyers

Mark Zuckerberg

What happens when we break down all 15 people's personal planets?

Taurus and Aquarius came out the most frequently among personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) with 10 and 9, respectively.

Taurus is not a surprise. It is ruled by Venus, which has two sides: the lighter, gracious, lovely side and the warring, violent, and self-centered side. Taurus tends to have a taste for finer things, status, and comfort. It is an earth sign, meaning there is a level of stability and resoluteness when they decide they want to pursue something. Once they reach a certain status or goal, they do not let go easily and will keep their place for as long as they can.

Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, is associated with the group and the public. There is a level of detachment that separates the Aquarian from others and helps them get a wider perspective on people's needs and wants. At the same time, it is a sign that wants to be different, and this is what makes them or their company/products stand out. Aquarius is associated with technology and doing things for the world and/or humanity. High possibility of reaching many people.

Aries, Cancer, and Pisces all tied for third with 7 each.

Aries are action-oriented and ambitious people who take steps to realize their goals. Because they are impulsive and confident, they are not afraid to take risks.

Cancers want to be able to take care of themselves and their loved ones and can make very shrewd, practical money moves that keep growing.

Pisces are original and intuitive; they can process a lot of abstract information they use to make decisions; can also be very in tune with the general public, which helps to know what is currently happening and what will happen in the future.

The sign that appeared the least among personal planets was Sagittarius with 3. Gemini and Scorpio both tied for second to last with 4 each.

By modality? Fixed signs were the most common (29). Then, Cardinal (26). And lastly, Mutable (20).

By element? Earth came in first (22). Then, Air (19), Water (18), and Fire (16).

Most common aspect?

Neptune - Pluto (10/15)

This is a generational aspect that lasts from the 1940s to the 2030s. Warren Buffett, Carlos Slim Helu, Michael Bloomberg, Larry Ellison, and Larry Page are the only ones without this aspect. Since this aspect includes such a wide range of people, it does not hugely affect our study. I also do not have their accurate birth times, so I do not know which houses Neptune and Pluto land.

Sun - Moon (9/15)

This aspect shows that the ego is connected to emotions. Ego means our self-esteem and self-importance. So, with a Sun-Moon aspect, our desire to see ourselves as important is directly connected to our emotions. Sun-Moon people can feel that they want to show people who they are and what they can be. There can be a lot of friction in life when it comes to wanting to be "someone," and this often serves as a motivator for success (not just financial success). This can also show someone sure of who they are; they go through life with a good level of confidence. On the other hand, a negative but productive manifestation could be someone who is trying to match their level of self-esteem with their goals in life. Even if they reach goals, they may want to feed their ego more and push harder for an even higher goal.

Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates (Mars-ruled Sun and Moon), Larry Ellison (same sign Sun-Moon in Leo), Steve Ballmer, Gautam Adani, and Michael Bloomberg (same sign Sun-Moon in Aquarius) do not have this aspect.

Sun - Mars (8/15)

Sun-Mars people are assertive and action-oriented. Negatively, they can be too aggressive and selfish. These people are competitive and can be good at directing others. Mars is a planet of action and passion; anyone, not just billionaires, who has achieved any kind of success in life, needs the ability to put things into action and an ongoing passion for working toward their goals. This is a go-getter, taking the opportunity kind of aspect.

Elon Musk (Mars conjunct NN), Bill Gates (Sun-Moon in Mars-ruled signs), Larry Ellison, Steve Ballmer (Sun in Aries), Mukesh Ambani (Sun in Aries), Gautam Adani, and Carlos Slim Helu (Mars in Aries) do not have this aspect.

Sun - Neptune (8/15)

So, we've gone through ego and action. And now, we must talk about dreams. Neptune means many things, one of them being dreams and things that don't seem possible. Many of these billionaires, if not all, dreamt big. They wanted to become successful (at least financially) and become part of the top echelon or wanted to change people's lives with technology and innovation. Even now, as billionaires, they keep dreaming bigger and bigger and work towards realizing their goals. People who dream too small don't usually get big rewards. Sun-Neptune people tend to have good imaginations and can want glamourous things in life. Or, they can be philanthropists and make contributions to society.

Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault (Sun, Venus, Mars in Pisces), Larry Ellison, Steve Ballmer, Michael Bloomberg, Carlos Slim Helu, and Mark Zuckerberg do not have this aspect.

Sun - Chiron (8/15)

Sun-Chiron people tend to understand the realities of life, both the good and the bad. They could be sensitive or have perceived insecurities; they may also feel they are/will be different and accept this responsibility. Think of Chiron the centaur. Chiron was different from the beginning and was raised as a civilized centaur. He developed many skills in his lifetime and was a forever student and mentor. He lived accepting that life has both beautiful and painful moments. Sun-Chiron aspect is a bit of a lonely aspect; this person could be well-liked, but it does not detract from his/her loneliness. These are types who want to find a solution to every problem, personal or societal. They may also feel different from others or excluded by others (socially isolated).

Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Larry Ellison, Mukesh Ambani, Michael Bloomberg, and Carlos Slim Helu do not have this aspect.

Uranus - Chiron (8/15)

When we combine Uranus with Chiron, we get someone who wants to bring a new era to society. These people believe in being different and thinking of different ways to solve problems. They definitely do not follow the beaten path; they are pioneers. Uranus is the planet associated with the group. Uranus-Chiron people are tuned into what the public needs and wants are. These people are advocates for progressive ideas, technology, and thinking outside the box, all in the name of social progress.

Bernard Arnault, Warren Buffett, Steve Ballmer, Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Michael Bloomberg, and Mark Zuckerberg do not have this aspect.

Jupiter - Pluto (8/15)

This is a classic sign of someone with immense wealth, fortune, and resources. Jupiter is an expansive planet associated with fortune, luck, and opportunity. Pluto is associated with power, control, and transformation. Whatever opportunities, risks, ventures, etc. these people take, it has a chance of becoming very successful. These people don't receive wealth and power from others; they want to generate this themselves. In a negative light, this could also mean being too risky, too controlling, and so powerful that they eat everyone around them. This can also show immense greed and having a hard time stopping. This is a very powerful aspect, but it can also bring highly transformative moments in life since with a lot of power and money comes a lot of responsibility, especially social responsibility.

Jeff Bezos, Bernard Arnault, Larry Ellison, Mukesh Ambani, Michael Bloomberg, Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, and Mark Zuckerberg do not have this aspect.

The most aspected planets in this order:

Chiron (62)

Venus (61)

Pluto (58)

Neptune (57)

Saturn (57)

Jupiter (56)

Sun (55)

Moon (55) *birth times not accurate

Mercury (49)

Mars (49)

Uranus (48)

North Node (33)

South Node (30)

Closing Thoughts

Whatever your opinions are on the mega-rich, you cannot say these people did not work for their money. It could be driven by greed, or maybe there are good intentions behind their actions. But they worked to build themselves an empire. Seeing Chiron, Pluto, and Saturn among the top 5 most aspected planets shows that building a "modern empire" takes time, hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

At the same time, you also need luck and a tendency to want to expand and grow (Neptune, Jupiter) as well fortune and attraction, shown with Venus (and Jupiter) as the second most aspected planet. Venus is seen as a benefic planet that attracts. It is associated with money and fortune (as well as beauty and love). It is not surprising that this is highly aspected in the charts of billionaires.

I find it interesting that Chiron is the most aspected planet. Chiron is highly skilled, educated, intelligent, and helpful. But he was also wounded and did not know how to heal himself.

I can interpret this in two ways: These billionaires are driven to use their skills to contribute and provide something for others. Or, they have a lot of good things that others want, but there is still something missing.

Edited Jul 22, 2022: Double-checked my data and found that my calculations for Venus were incorrect. This is now corrected. Venus is the second most aspected planet, not the 10th.

Los Angeles Times July 11, 2023 7 AM PT ON THE SHELF The Parrot and the Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial By David Lipsky Norton: 496 pages

A lunchtime interview with David Lipsky bounces around to cover everything from the mistakes in pirated 19th century editions of “Moby-Dick” to the finer details of Mr. Show’s 1998 sketch “The Audition.” This seems to fairly reflect the range of Lipsky’s preoccupations, as well as the span of his writing.

Lipsky, award-winning author of books about West Point and a road trip with David Foster Wallace, brings his wide-angle lens to bear on global warming in “The Parrot and The Igloo: Climate and the Science of Denial.”

The book covers everyone from Benjamin Franklin, who kick-started the Industrial Revolution, to the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, who benefited financially from questioning research on tobacco and global warming. It’s about not just the science of climate change but also the self-interested denier constantly working to undermine it — “more research is needed” is a central strategy — and inflicting long-term damage in the process. Lipsky strives to make the book as readable as possible, referencing the Beatles and “The Simpsons,” yet his deep research and outrage continually shine through.

This interview, at a restaurant near New York University, where he is a professor, has been edited for length and clarity.

You were working on a different book when you read about Roger Revelle’s 1956 research proving climate change and the work confirming it in the 1970s. You write, “Everyone had known. And nothing had been done.” So what will writing more about it accomplish?

A 1979 panel said, “We have no reason to doubt global warming will happen and no reason to think changes will be small.”

Had Reagan not become president, things would have been different. We’re going to have to make a start at some point, and if we had done it then, the economies of scale would have kicked in and we would have become used to things.

...

You write about “signal versus noise” and how the climate deniers successfully distract by creating noise.

There are only 25 professional climate deniers, according to one climate denier, but 25 people can frustrate the will of the world. That’s staggering.

...

In 1979, politicians asked, “When will this all become evident?” And they’re told 40 years, so they say, “Get back to us in 39.” The book is about us as a people, the biggest version of us not going to the doctor.

Did Joe Biden take us to the doctor with his climate legislation? Scientists have estimated that his actions will cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by 30 percent to 40 percent below 2005 levels. Would his re-election have a major impact?

People don’t appreciate that he has been a really effective president. He seems to understand what global warming is about, and he’s a professional politician who knows how to get legislation through. He did what no one else was able to do in 40 years.

On December 14th, at 12:02 PM Eastern (09:02 AM Pacific), the Sun unleashed a massive solar flare. According to the Space Weather Prediction Center, part of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this was the strongest flare of Solar Cycle 25, which began in 2019 and will continue until 2030. What’s more, scientists at the SWPC estimate that this may be one of the most powerful solar flares recorded since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. Solar flares occur in the Sun’s active regions, and activity varies over an 11-year solar cycle. This phenomenon is believed to result from stored magnetic energy in the Sun’s atmosphere accelerating charged particles in the surrounding plasma. These flares release radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum and are often accompanied by Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) and other solar phenomena. According to the SWPC, this recent flare may have triggered an Earth-bound CME, which they are currently analyzing. The SWPC reported the largest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25. Credit: SWPC-NOAA The SWPC also localized the flare to Region 3514, located over the far northwest area of the Sun. The flare caused interference with radio communications on Thursday, December 14th, between 12:00 PM to 02:00 PM EST (09:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST). According to the National Weather Service (NWS), Center Weather Service Units (CWSU) from the Eastern Seaboard to the Midwest reported interference with aircraft communications. The SWPC recommends that people continue to monitor their web page for the latest information and updates on the CME. Further Reading: SWPC-NOAA The post We Just had the Strongest Solar Flare in the Current Solar Cycle appeared first on Universe Today.

Heat Transfer Fluids (HTF) Market Competitive Analysis

Heat Transfer Fluids (HTF) Market, By Product Type (Mineral Oils, Synthetic Fluids, Glycol-Based Fluids), End Use (Chemical & Petrochemical, Oil & Gas, Automotive, Renewable Energy, Pharmaceutical) and region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa and South America).

Market Overview

The global Heat Transfer Fluids (HTF) market size was estimated at USD 3.6 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 7.4 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 9.50% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) refer to either gases or liquids that are specifically designed to facilitate the movement of heat from one system to another. These fluids are typically made from highly refined petroleum, synthetically formulated hydrocarbons, or siloxanes, such as silicone. The use of HTFs can provide several advantages, including the ability to operate at high temperatures while maintaining low system pressures, as well as ensuring safety, low maintenance, and extended operating lifetimes. It is anticipated that these benefits will have a consequential impact on the HTFs market.

The growth of the global Heat Transfer Fluids (HTF) market is mainly driven by the the swift acceptance of concentrated solar power on a worldwide scale is among the principal stimulants of demand. Heat transfer fluids, which avoid overheating and accumulate thermal energy, are industrial commodities that stem from petroleum origins. The main components of the manufacturing process comprise crude oil, silica, and base oils. The fundamental traits that delineate a heat transfer fluid encompass low viscosity, a non-corrosive constitution, elevated thermal conductivity and diffusivity, as well as extreme phase transition temperatures. Heat transfer fluids are gaining significant importance in their applications, such as extracting heat from the sun in concentrated solar panels to processing gas & oil in cold climatic conditions.

On the other hand, volatile raw material prices may hamper the market growth to some extent.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on businesses and supply chains, causing significant disruption. Moreover, the oil and gas industry has also been adversely affected by the pandemic, impeding the growth of the heat transfer fluid industry. The decline in both the supply and demand of oil and gas, particularly in North America and Europe, has resulted in the suspension of onshore and offshore production processes, thereby hindering the expansion of the heat transfer fluids market. Additionally, the suspension of new solar power projects and the disruption of activities in operational plants have further obstructed the market.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

The pandemic had a considerable impact on businesses globally, with nations like India and China bearing the brunt of the virus's outbreak. Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) are extensively employed in the chemical, oil and gas, and renewable energy sectors. Within the chemical processing industry, heat transfer is essential for the indirect heating of process liquids and polymers, single fluid batch processing, pipeline tracing, energy recovery, low-pressure cogeneration, the drying and heating of bulk materials, and gas processing. The escalating demand for chemicals from the automotive, energy and resources, construction, consumer goods, electronics, and health and nutrition industries has led to an increase in chemical production, which has in turn increased the demand for HTFs from chemical manufacturers. Additionally, HTFs are utilized in concentrated solar power (CSP) or solar energy generation and solar thermal storage, using concentrators such as parabolic trough-based systems. These fluids are employed to collect heat energy and transport it to a power station for thermal storage as a renewable energy technology. The increase in demand for clean energy worldwide has led to the establishment of various concentrated solar power plants across the globe. These factors have led to the expansion of the market and increased demand for Heat Transfer Fluids (HTF) solutions.

Key Findings

The Product Type segment is further fragmented into Mineral Oils, Synthetic Fluids and Glycol-Based Fluids. The Synthetic fluids segment is expected to account for a larger market size during the forecast period. Synthetic fluids surpass mineral oils in numerous aspects owing to their exceptional properties. They remain immune to oxidation, thermal breakdown, and oil sludge issues, thereby contributing towards minimizing evaporation losses.

The Renewable energy industry is the largest market during the forecast period. Heat transfer fluids (HTFs) find their application in an array of renewable energy technologies such as concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, biodiesel production systems, wind turbines, and geothermal systems. Furthermore, HTFs can serve as an energy storage medium for the solar energy, which facilitates a consistent power supply in spite of the intermittent availability of sunlight. The demand for solar energy, in conjunction with the government's stringent regulations on clean energy, is anticipated to drive the growth of HTFs in the renewable energy industry.

The market is also divided into various regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East and Africa. Europe is estimated to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to rising population coupled with increasing energy demand has propelled the power and energy sector growth.

On this page you'll find a rundown of good sun powered installers overhauling Sydney, in New South solar systems Sydney Grains. Likewise included are connections to client surveys and evaluations of establishments they've performed and further insights regarding the organizations - including a general valuing guide for frameworks of different sizes. Other valuable data about introducing sunlight powered chargers in Sydney is beneath the rundown.

Benefiting from Your Sunlight powered chargers In Sydney:For families with higher power interest in the mornings and evenings than the mid-afternoon, an east-west parted of roof sunlight based chargers can be a viable method for expanding self utilization of sun oriented power.

From around the fifteenth of December to the 30th of January, on account of light reserve funds time, the sun doesn't set until after 8:00 pm in Sydney. This is valuable for driving climate control systems in the late evening with sun powered power, particularly while utilizing west or north-west-bound boards.

Sydney's leafiest rural areas, Pittwater, Warringah and Ku-ring-gai have more than half tree cover and are the most probable places where trees will conceal rooftops for a piece of the day, particularly in winter when shadows are longer. The utilization of microinverters or DC optimisers can assist with restricting the deficiency of sun powered charger yield brought about by concealing, yet current string inverters are getting better at taking care of fractional concealing also.

Benefiting from What Is Many times Called The Sun oriented Discount

Numerous Sydney families and business can profit from sun based establishments where the sun powered chargers have an all out limit more noteworthy than that of their inverter. This will bring about some deficiency of result from the sun powered chargers when the sky is clear and the sun is high overhead, yet will cause more noteworthy result when the sun is low or skies are cloudy. This outcomes in a smoother creation of sun based power during that time which can assist with expanding a family's self utilization, which is exceptionally helpful for working on the financial recompense of roof sun oriented power.

A roof planetary group's all out board limit can really depend on 33% bigger than the size of its inverter nevertheless get everything of STCs which bring down the expense of introducing sun oriented power. This decrease is frequently alluded to as the sunlight based refund. In any case, in fact it's anything but a refund, yet many individuals couldn't care less and call it that. The sun based refund will be decreased on the first of January every year until it closes in 2030, so the previous a framework is introduced, the more prominent the discount that will be gotten.

In the Ausgrid network region in Sydney, the most extreme framework size not entirely set in stone by size of the inverter which should be under 10 kilowatts for a home with single stage power. Nonetheless, the absolute limit of the sunlight based chargers can surpass this and be 5 kilowatts or more noteworthy. So a 5 kilowatt inverter could be introduced with 6.6 kilowatts of sunlight powered chargers.

Pet Insurance Market to Witness Excellent Revenue Growth, Emerging Trends and Forecast by 2027

Allied Market Research recently published a report, titled, "Pet Insurance Market by Policy Coverage (Accident Only, Accident and Illness, and Others), by Animal Type (Dogs, Cats, Others), by Sales Channel (Agency, Broker, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030". As per the report, the global pet insurance industry was accounting for $4.52 billion in 2020, and is expected to reach $16.81 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2021 to 2030.

Major determinants of the market growth

Rise in demand for pet insurance policies, increase in the number of veterinary centers, and surge in demand for financial safety in case of increasing uncertainties have boosted the growth of the global pet insurance market. However, high premium costs and lack of awareness about pet insurance policies hinder the market growth. On the contrary, government initiatives about pet insurance policies and the implementation of technologies in products and service lines are expected to open new opportunities for the market players in the coming years.

Download Sample Report (Get Full Insights in PDF – 233+ Pages) @ https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/4353

Covid-19 scenario:

The Covid-19 pandemic negatively affected the pet insurance market due to the closure of diagnosis and veterinary centers due to lockdown regulations implemented by governments.

The insurance companies have been trying to innovate and modify the policy coverage and policies based on incidences of health conditions.

The accident only segment dominated the market growth

By policy coverage, the accident-only segment held the largest share in 2020, accounting for around four-fifths of the global pet insurance market, as pets such as dogs and cats have been infected with the Covid-19 virus. However, the accident & illness segment is expected to manifest the highest CAGR of 15.9% during the forecast period.

Interested to Procure the Data? Inquire here @ https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/purchase-enquiry/4353

The cats segment to manifest the highest CAGR through 2030

By animal type, the cats segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period. However, the dogs segment held the largest share in 2020, contributing to more than four-fifths of the global pet insurance market, as dogs help people to stay well and spend less time getting over sickness and bugs.

Europe, followed by North America, held the largest share

By region, the global pet insurance market across Europe, followed by North America, held the largest share in 2020, accounting for nearly two-fifths of the market, due to shift in trend from pet owners to pet parents and rise in social acceptance of pets across the region. However, the market across Asia-Pacific is anticipated to showcase the highest CAGR of 18.4% during the forecast period, owing to rise in pet adoption and surge in awareness about pet insurance in the region.

One of Ten in U.S. May Have to Switch Occupations Post Pandemic (Bloomberg) One out of every ten U.S. workers—about 17 million, all told—will likely be forced to leave their jobs and take up new occupations by 2030 as Covid-19’s after-effects destroy huge swathes of low-paying positions in a labor market that was primed for disruption before the pandemic. “Covid is a big disruptor,” Susan Lund, a Washington-based partner at McKinsey Global Institute, the consultant’s research arm, said in an interview. The 17 million Americans are part of the more than 100 million people worldwide that the institute forecast will need to leave their jobs and enter new lines of work by the end of the decade. That will amount to about one in 16 workers in the eight leading economies covered by the study, which includes China, Japan, Germany and the U.K., as well as the U.S. In a more-than-130-page paper, the institute sees the pandemic accelerating three trends that will continue to upend the labor market in the years ahead: more remote work and working from home; increased e-commerce and a bigger “delivery economy;” and stepped-up business use of artificial intelligence and robots. The forces Covid-19 unleashed mean there could be a lot less demand for front line workers in food service, retail, hospitality, and entertainment.

Politics Is Seeping Into Our Daily Life and Ruining Everything (Reason) Is there anything that politics can’t ruin? The answer, it appears, is a resounding “no” as partisan conflict creeps into all areas of American life. Our political affiliations, researchers say, obstruct friendships, influence our purchases, affect the positions we take on seemingly apolitical matters, and limit our job choices. As a result, many people are poorer, lonelier, and less healthy than they would otherwise be. “Political polarization is having far-reaching impacts on American life, harming consumer welfare and creating challenges for people ranging from elected officials and policymakers to corporate executives and marketers,” according to a new paper in the Journal of Public Policy & Marketing by researchers from Arizona State University, the University of Wyoming, and four other U.S. universities. People’s partisan identities influence the range of people with whom they are willing to have relationships, the brands they purchase, and the jobs they take. The finding that everything is becoming politicized builds on a growing mountain of data. Even before political tensions hit their current fever pitch, a 2018 survey found that “Nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of consumers around the world will buy or boycott a brand solely because of its position on a social or political issue” (the number for the U.S. was 59 percent). In 2020, a separate survey reported that “83% of Millennials find it important for the companies they buy from to align with their values.”

Cracked Pipes, Frozen Wells, Offline Treatment Plants: A Texan Water Crisis (NYT) Power began to flicker back on across much of Texas on Thursday, but millions across the state confronted another dire crisis: a shortage of drinkable water as pipes cracked, wells froze and water treatment plants were knocked offline. The problems were especially acute at hospitals. One, in Austin, was forced to move some of its most critically ill patients to another building when its faucets ran nearly dry. Another in Houston had to haul in water on trucks to flush toilets. But for many of the state’s residents stuck at home, the emergency meant boiling the tap water that trickled through their faucets, scouring stores for bottled water or boiling icicles and dirty snow on their stoves. Major disruptions to the Texas power grid left more than four million households without power this week, but by Thursday evening, only about 347,000 lacked electricity. Much of the statewide concern had turned to water woes. More than 800 public water systems serving 162 of the state’s 254 counties had been disrupted as of Thursday, affecting 13.1 million people, according to a spokeswoman for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Texas Good Samaritans Are Helping Out Those in Need Amid Deep Freeze (Newsweek) From owners turning their stores into warming centers, to a mystery man handing out $20 bills to shoppers in Houston, when faced with a crisis that has left 24 in the state dead, and millions without water and electricity, Texans have instinctively turned to helping others. One such figure is Raymond Garcia of Houston, Texas, who, upon realizing he had no power at home, decided to use his time helping others. He has been visiting people in his local community, helping with tasks such as fixing burst water pipes. "I'm just trying to help the Houston community," he told ABC13. "If I can help anyone else in my close range I will.” Garcia said he was inspired by the teaching of his mother, who died recently from COVID-19. "My mom always taught me, if you help and you give to people, God will always bless you," he said. "And you know what, I've been blessed." On Thursday, Jason Spenser, the Public Affairs Director for the Harris County Sheriff's Office tweeted about another remarkable character, a man dubbed a food 'angel'. When electricity outages meant the Foodarama near 18th Street and Ella Boulevard could no longer accept credit and debit card payments, the unidentified man began handing out $20 bills to people waiting in the line. Spenser estimated the man, who did not want to be photographed, handed out a total of $500. In Elgin, Texas, Monica Nava, owner of the Chemn Cafe, put in a big order just before the storm hit. Rather than see perishable items go to waste, she boxed them up with shelf-stable good into care packages estimated to have a value of $25 each. She gave the packages out to in-need members of the community and asked for those who could afford it to pay a donation.

Biden repudiates Trump on Iran, ready for talks on nuke deal (AP) The Biden administration said Thursday it’s ready to join talks with Iran and world powers to discuss a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, in a sharp repudiation of former President Donald Trump’s “maximum pressure campaign” that sought to isolate the Islamic Republic. The administration also took two steps at the United Nations aimed at restoring policy to what it was before Trump withdrew from the deal in 2018. The combined actions were immediately criticized by Iran hawks and are likely to draw concern from Israel and Gulf Arab states. The State Department announced the moves following discussions between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his British, French and German counterparts, and as Biden prepares to participate, albeit virtually, in his first major international events with world leaders.

The Cuba bet (Foreign Policy) Cuba may still become Latin America’s first country to design a successful COVID-19 vaccine, with Phase 3 trials on one of its four vaccine candidates set to begin next month. If the shot performs well, it is expected to be exported to other Latin American nations. Cuba and Iran are partnering on Phase 3 trials of the Soberana 02 vaccine, and Mexico is exploring carrying out a Phase 3 trial as well.

It’s mud, mud everywhere in UK’s 3rd lockdown (AP) It’s apparently not enough for Britons to endure almost 120,000 COVID-19 deaths and face a new variant of the virus that scientists say is more contagious and more deadly. Not enough to struggle through a third lockdown in less than a year, a shutdown now in its ninth week in London with no end in sight. No, all of this has to come smack in the middle of Britain’s mud season, the time formally known as winter. While everyone in the U.K. is already lacking Vitamin D, the sun chooses to take a months-long work stoppage and named winter storms kept sweeping eastward across the Atlantic. Storm Bella marched in right after Christmas, bringing gusts up to 106 mph (92 kph) and rains that dumped 3.2 inches (80.2 mm) on a village in Scotland. A sodden, freezing version of a hurricane. Storm Darcy roared in last week from the opposite side, bringing an icy Arctic blast and the U.K.’s coldest temperature in 25 years. Unlike the southeastern U.S., which floods during the summer-fall hurricane season, Britain floods in the dead of winter, bringing hypothermia alongside germ-laden waters. Rivers across England and Scotland are bursting: 73 flood alerts were in effect on Friday alone. And this year, few gyms or schools are available for emergency housing for fear they will turn into COVID-19 factories. It’s a Dickensian time.

Spain arrests 80 in 3 nights of riots over rapper’s jailing (AP) Protests over the imprisonment of a rapper convicted of insulting the Spanish monarchy and praising terrorist violence were marred by rioting for the third night in a row Thursday. The plight of Pablo Hasél, who began this week to serve a 9-month sentence in a northeastern prison, has triggered a heated debate over the limits of free speech in Spain and a political storm over the use of violence by both the rapper’s supporters and the police. The rapper and his supporters say Hasél’s nine-month sentence for writing a critical song about former King Juan Carlos I, and for dozens of tweets that judges said glorified some of Spain’s defunct terrorist groups, violates free speech rights. Besides that case, the rapper has previously faced other charges or has pending trials for assault, praising armed extremist groups, breaking into private premises and insulting the monarchy.

Heating Up Culture Wars, France to Scour Universities for Ideas That ‘Corrupt Society’ (NYT) Stepping up its attacks on social science theories that it says threaten France, the French government announced this week that it would launch an investigation into academic research that it says feeds “Islamo-leftist” tendencies that “corrupt society.” While President Emmanuel Macron and some of his top ministers have spoken out forcefully against what they see as a destabilizing influence from American campuses in recent months, the announcement marked the first time that the government has moved to take action. It came as France’s lower house of Parliament passed a draft law against Islamism, an ideology it views as encouraging terrorist attacks, and as Mr. Macron tilts further to the right, anticipating nationalist challenges ahead of elections next year. Frédérique Vidal, the minister of higher education, said in Parliament on Tuesday that the state-run National Center for Scientific Research would oversee an investigation into the “totality of research underway in our country,” singling out post-colonialism. In an earlier television interview, Ms. Vidal said the investigation would focus on “Islamo-leftism”—a controversial term embraced by some of Mr. Macron’s leading ministers to accuse left-leaning intellectuals of justifying Islamism and even terrorism.

Myanmar protests stall fuel imports, drive up costs (Reuters) Myanmar’s refined fuel imports have stalled as protests over the Feb. 1 coup have shut the banks and government offices necessary for trade, while depreciation in the nation’s currency has driven up costs, four industry sources said. The economy of the Southeast Asian nation has been pulled up short by the biggest demonstrations since the “Saffron Revolution” of 2007, with protesters taking to the streets to denounce the military takeover and the unseating of a democratically elected government. Myanmar relies heavily on gasoline and diesel imports as its refineries are too small and old to meet its fuel needs. One of the sources said imports may make up as much as 98% of Myanmar’s fuel consumption. The “economy is almost at a standstill. Almost all government ministries are closed,” the source said. “Fuel supply is running low. (The country) might run out of oil in two months.”

Jakarta’s poor fear landslides from overflowing waste mountains (Nikkei Asia) The stench is overpowering, and it only gets worse as you approach the biggest landfill site in Southeast Asia. The green grass on the embankments of the road leading into the Bantar Gebang landfill on the outskirts of Jakarta quickly gives way to trash—stacked in piles as far as the eye can see, reaching the height of a 15-story building in places. Plastic bags, food packages, rubber wheels, cardboard, drink cans, and everything else that Jakartans consume and throw away can be found here—much of which turn to sludge when it rains. The site that constantly threatens landslides is also home to thousands of impoverished families. Around 20,000 people, according to an estimate by locals, make a living from collecting trash in Southeast Asia’s largest dump. More than 100,000 live in the landfill and its surroundings. Authorities are struggling to dispose of the massive amount of waste created by the 35 million people estimated by Statistics Indonesia to live the Jakarta metropolitan area. Landslides often occur at such sites. In February 2005, heavy rains triggered a slide at the Leuwigajah landfill, which serves the cities of Cimahi and Bandung in West Java, killing 157 people and swallowing two villages, Greenpeace Indonesia said. The Bantar Gebang landfill has also taken lives.

Israel expands its nuclear facility (The Guardian) Israel is carrying out a major expansion of its Dimona nuclear facility in the Negev desert, where it has historically made the fissile material for its nuclear arsenal. Construction work is evident in new satellite images published on Thursday by the International Panel on Fissile Material (IPFM), an independent expert group. The area being worked on is a few hundred meters across to the south and west of the domed reactor and reprocessing point at the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, near the desert town of Dimona. Pavel Podvig, a researcher with the program on science and global security at Princeton University, said: “It appears that the construction started quite early in 2019, or late 2018, so it’s been under way for about two years, but that’s all we can say at this point.”

Will blinked awake to the early morning sun streaming through their window. Sonny’s arm was draped over his waist, his body a warm weight against Will’s back. Will turned carefully so as not to wake Sonny and smiled softly at his sleeping husband.

“Morning,” Sonny mumbled, half-asleep.

“I didn’t mean to wake you,” Will whispered.

Sonny smiled slowly and opened his eyes to look at Will. “I’m certain a little monster is going to wake us any second.”

Will huffed out a laugh and brushed his lips against Sonny’s before snuggling closer so they were nose-to-nose.

Sure enough, a minute later, the door opened and the bed bounced with the weight of a seven year-old.

“Daddies, wake up! It’s Christmas!”

Will and Sonny laughed together and let Ari drag them out of bed and downstairs to see what Santa brought her.

* * * * * *

2021

Sonny woke to the first rays of sunlight peeking through the slats in their bedroom shades. Will was sleeping peacefully next to him, their faces a breath away. Their legs were twined under the sheets and the hands in between them were brushing. Sonny lifted his other hand to trace lightly over Will’s face.

This past year had been nothing short of a roller-coaster of emotions: the divorce; finding out Maggie had been the one responsible for Adrienne’s death and that Victor had framed Will for it; Will being released from prison; Will insisting that Sonny be happy with Evan (”What happened will never go away, Sonny! It doesn’t matter that I didn’t do it!”); Sonny insisting that Will not being responsible did make a difference (”Of course it matters, Will! All the reasons you gave me for not being together don’t exist anymore!”); them getting back together on their anniversary (”Husbands for life, remember?” Sonny asked before kissing Will senseless); their third - and final! (or so Sonny hoped) - wedding in August on the anniversary of Will getting his memories back.

And now they were here, in their own apartment, settled again, and happy.

“I can hear you thinking,” Will said, popping open an eye to look at Sonny.

“Sorry,” Sonny said with a cheeky grin. “I didn’t mean to wake you. You looked so peaceful.”

“What were you thinking about?”

“Everything that happened this year.”

Will blinked fully awake and his hand found Sonny’s under the sheets. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

They kissed lazily for a long time.

“It’s so quiet,” Will whispered.

“That’s what happens when there’s no almost nine-year old monster in the house on Christmas.”

Will grinned. They had dropped Ari (and all the presents for her) off with Gabi and Stefan after the Horton tree trimming the night before. She had spent Christmas with them for the past few years (just Sonny, last year); she had asked to be with her mom this year and they readily obliged.

“What do you want to do today?” Sonny asked.

“Can we stay in? Or do we have go to your family?”

“Staying in sounds like the best Christmas ever,” Sonny answered, kissing Will again.

After sleeping another couple of hours, Sonny made them pancakes and they exchanged their gifts for each other (a new watch [Will’s was lost in the accident] and journal for Will, and new gloves [Sonny’s were hopelessly worn out] and new pages for their photo album for Sonny).

Together they opened their families’ presents: from Eric and Nicole they received a framed photo of a quiet moment between them from their wedding that they hadn’t known he’d captured; Sami, Lucas, and EJ had jointly sent them Italian chocolates and two expensive bottles of wine; Justin had bought them season tickets to the Cubs home games; John and Marlena had bought them the stereo system they were missing; Kate gifted them a weekend at the Green Mountain Lodge; and Arianna had drawn them a picture of the three of them and a puppy (her way of telling them she wanted a dog) and bought each of them matching pens with her allowance money.

When they finished with all their presents, they settled on the couch under a fuzzy, warm blanket, with cups of hot chocolate in their hands, and spent the rest of the day watching silly Christmas movies and snacking on the Italian chocolate and popcorn.

* * * * * * *

2023

Will, Sonny, and Ari strolled through the Christmas market in Switzerland, Ari carefully cradling a cup of hot chocolate as she perused the stalls. They’d already purchased three bags full of jewelry, tchotchkies, and various gifts for Gabi, her grandparents, and great-grandparents.

This Christmas they had decided to take Ari to visit Sami, Lucas, EJ, the twins, and Sydney, and follow through on visiting the European markets they had talked about so long ago. They were also going to stop by Carrie and Austin (who had reunited) and Noah while they were in Switzerland. It was to be their last trip out of Salem for a while, with the babies due to be born in February.

“Daddy! Can I go on the carousel?!” Ari asked, looking up at Will. At almost eleven, she was in ways both very much a teenager and still a kid.

“Sure, Little Lady,” Will said. He still used the old endearment whenever possible, certain she wouldn’t tolerate it much longer.

She grinned, handed Sonny her empty cup, and ran to the carousel.

Sonny laughed, linked his fingers with Will’s, and together they followed Ari to the carousel to pay for her ride.

* * * * * * *

2024

Their first Christmas with the twins was chaotic. It started when Ari grumbled to get out of bed early, even though she was excited to open presents (although she would never let on that she was, she was too old now). Then it took them an extra hour to get out of the house with two ten-month olds and a pre-teen than it normally would have and they had four different places to hit before they could collapse back home.

Their first stop was the Kiriakis mansion to visit Justin, Maggie, Victor, and Sonny’s brothers who had surprised them all for coming to Salem for Christmas this year. They had planned on only staying an hour but Maggie had insisted they stay for tea.

So an hour behind schedule, they headed to the Brady Pub to visit Roman, Kayla and Steve, Stephanie, who had also come to Salem for the holidays, Hope, and Shawn, Belle, and Claire, who had been released from Bayview the previous year. At the Pub, they ate lunch, and the twins fell asleep in their carriage.

With the twins still asleep, and bellies full, they made a pit stop at Kate’s apartment, where they made up some time, managing to stay only a half an hour with the excuse that they had dinner plans and still needed to see John and Marlena. It wasn’t a complete lie as their dinner plans were with John and Marlena, but Kate didn’t need to know that.

The babies woke up crying somewhere between Kate’s apartment and John and Marlena’s townhouse, so they lost time again as they had to stop to soothe them. Eventually, with one baby in Ari’s arms and one in Sonny’s, and Will pushing the now empty carriage, they rang the doorbell to the townhouse.

Brady greeted them with his four-year old daughter on his hip.

As they were pulling off their coats and scarves, Paul appeared from the kitchen with his new husband, followed by Claire, Belle, and Shawn, who had beaten them to the townhouse from the Pub. John and Marlena appeared shortly after, hugging Will and Sonny and Ari and cooing at the babies.

An hour later, they sat down to dinner, Ari chattering away about the presents she received and loudly and pointedly about the ones she hadn’t.

* * * * * * * *

2030

The Christmas before Ari’s nineteenth birthday she didn’t spend in Salem. Johnny, Allie, and Sydney had decided to spend the two weeks covering Christmas and New Year’s in Aruba and Ari had cajoled Will, Sonny, and Gabi into letting her go with them. Allie had promised Will that they wouldn’t let Ari drink (”Will, Dad is an alcoholic and I’ve had more than my share of days clinging to a toilet bowl.”), but he knew in his bones that Ari would have a drink at some point during the trip.

“I have to give Ari credit though,” Sonny said after getting off the phone with her on Christmas morning. “In all the times we’ve spoken to her, she’s never sounded even tipsy.”

“Should that worry us?” Will asked on a laugh.

“No. I don’t think so. Ari’s a good girl. She’s not a partier,” Sonny said seriously. “I think I’m more concerned about her switching a paternity test or something.”

Will howled with laughter and the twins appeared from their bedroom to see what the commotion was.

2040

After Julie passed away earlier in the year, Doug already passed two years before, Jennifer had offered the Horton house to Will and Sonny. With Chad, Abby, Thomas, and Charlotte permanently living in Paris, and JJ in London, Jack and Jennifer had decided to relocate to Paris to be closer to their family. Because the apartment was feeling crowded with two teenage boys, and because Arianna was now married with a baby on the way, Will and Sonny thanked Jennifer profusely and accepted the deed to the Horton house.

And so it was their first year hosting the annual Horton tree trimming.

“Adam! Make sure the boxes of ornaments are down from the attic!” Will called from the kitchen where he was checking on Sonny’s cookies.

Adam huffed and begrudgingly put down his book to trudge up the stairs to the attic.

“Chris, can you help me with the tree?” Sonny asked, struggling. Chris jumped off the couch to help position the tree in front of the window.

“How does it look?” Sonny asked Will who appeared from the kitchen.

“Looks great,” Will said with a smile.

Chris and Sonny high-fived as Adam came back downstairs, the two boxes of ornaments in his arms.

“Thank you,” Will said, as the doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it!” Chris announced. A minute later he came back into the room with Ari and her husband, Jake.

“Dads!”

“Ari!” “Sweetpea!” Will and Sonny exclaimed at the same time.

“Merry Christmas, Dads,” Ari said, enveloping them both in a hug. “Merry Christmas, squirt,” she said to Adam, ruffling his hair as she passed behind the couch where he was sitting, reading again.

“Ugh!”

Ari giggled as he fixed his hair.

“Who else is coming?” Ari asked Sonny as the doorbell announced another group of Hortons.

“Where are my favorite grandchildren?” Lucas called from the foyer. He, Sami, EJ, Johnny, Allie, and Sydney had all come in for Christmas. They were seeing Sami, EJ, Johnny, Sydney and their respective wives (Sydney had come out to the family as bisexual three years ago) at the Brady Pub tomorrow for Christmas.

“Hi, Grandpa,” Ari said softly, who was the first to reach Lucas. “Merry Christmas, Aunt Allie.”

“Merry Christmas,” Adam mumbled into Lucas’ hug. Allie laughed under her breath as she received the quickest hug in existence from Adam.

“Merry Christmas, Grandpa, Aunt Allie,” Chris said cheerily.

Jennifer, Jack, Abby, Chad, and the kids were the next to arrive, followed closely by Hope and Ciara. Eli and Lani came next, toting their baby daughter, Violet, who was named for Eli’s mother who had passed away last year. Maggie and Sarah were the last to arrive just as Will was passing around Sonny’s cookies fresh out of the oven, and eggnog.

“Before we hang the ornaments, I just want to thank everyone for coming,” Will said. “I know this year has been rough for some of us, but it’s also brought us some joy, I hope. I, um, I know living here, and hosting this party has a long tradition and is a lot to live up to. But I hope that we can do justice to Gran and to Doug and Julie, and Aunt Jennifer, of course. So Merry Christmas and let’s decorate this tree!”

They all cheered and clinked glasses, and Will started the tree trimming by hanging Tom and Alice’s ornaments right at the top of the tree under the star.

moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars

pairing: yoonjin genre: fluff, witches au, fantasy au, rated t warnings: trans character, one use of a deadname, swearing words: 2030

summary: The moon led her here because Seokjin is looking to expand his coven and Yoonji just happens to be the perfect fit.

⇢ day four of yoonjin week 2019

Yoonji is a witch of the moon. When the sun goes to sleep, Yoonji can feel the pull of the moon over her skin like its gravity.

The moon is very loving. At least to Yoonji, She is. She has always loved Yoonji, even when Yoonji didn't love herself very much, the moon always has.

Usually, the moon lets her be. She rarely wills Yoonji to do anything and when she does, Yoonji does without thinking. After all, who is she to say no to the one who grants her such beautiful power?

That is why when the sun sets in the west, Yoonji starts moving as quickly as she can. A sliver of coolness rolls down her spine and makes her skin tingle. As she moves closer to her destination, it grows colder and begins to vibrate, her insides all rushing to accommodate the new sensation.

She uses her bike to travel, still unsure of where she is headed until she is almost on the outskirts of town and a diner stands before her in the relative darkness. It's called Moon Diner and Yoonji can't help but snicker as she approaches, shivering as the coldness spreads from her spine and down her arms. Yoonji is quick to lock her bike up at the rack and stares up at the diner's sign once last time before stepping inside.

A bell jingles over the door as she opens it, the sound barely loud enough to carry over the tinny music playing from hidden speakers. Yoonji approaches the counter and sits, idly playing with her fingers as she waits for someone to take notice of her. The cold feeling along her spine is just barely noticeable and she is doing her best to figure out why She led her here, but so far she has come up with nothing that could explain it.

At least not until the waiter sets a menu down in front of her and asks her what she would like to drink.

She looks up and finds herself face-to-face with Kim Seokjin, one of the most prestigious witches in the region and also, but less importantly, her old childhood friend. An air witch who punched people in high school when Yoonji dared to wear a skirt. He was Yoonji's first kiss during a game of spin the bottle when they were thirteen and he was the only boy on the block that ever wanted to play with Yoonji when they were seven. Yoonji had the biggest crush on him during high school, but it wilted after Seokjin graduated and left town for college. After that, they just lost touch and Yoonji did her best to forget everything about him.

"Hello and welcome to Moon Diner. Do you know what you would like to drink or do you need some time?" Seokjin asks as he takes a notepad out of one the wide pockets on his apron and opens it to a blank page, pencil in hand.

Yoonji blinks, her tongue heavy in her own mouth as she tries not to panic. She honestly cannot believe that the moon would do this to her. Everyone knows that Seokjin is looking for a final member to make his coven complete and Yoonji has been seriously considering joining a coven herself since she's twenty-seven now and isn't getting any younger, but she never entertained the idea of joining Seokjin's. Even if they grew up together, he would probably laugh in her face at just the thought of it. No way is this real life.

(She groans internally when she pinches herself and still has not woken up from this dream.)

She must have been silent for too long because Seokjin soon looks up with a furrowed brow and a question on the tip of his tongue, but pauses and stares at her for an even longer moment. Recognition flickers in his dark brown eyes because it isn't like her face actually looks any different than it did when they were kids. Yoonji fights the urge to flinch as she prepares herself for what is sure to come next.

"Holy shit. Yoongi? Is that you?"

Yoonji swallows, feeling determined to correct him and everyone else ever since she promised herself she wouldn't allow her anxiety and fear to hold her back anymore. "It's Yoonji now actually. Um."

"Yeah, I thought it would be different. Sorry, won't happen again." Seokjin's smile doesn't falter, doesn't even twitch as he blinks at her. "Can I ask what your preferred pronouns are? Or is that rude? Sorry, I'm not really sure how this goes."

"She/her is fine. Anything's fine really as long it isn't he/him please, and don't worry. Some people like it when you ask because it means you care, so thank you," Yoonji mumbles, her face warming with each word. "Uh, can I get some orange juice while I decide what to get?"

Seokjin's smile grows as he nods fervently. "Yeah, of course. I'll be right back with your drink."

Yoonji opens the menu he set out in front of her and pretends to browse through it as she focuses on her breathing. Holy crap was that hard to do. She isn't even sure how she got through that conversation, much less how she kept her voice and tone so stable. Someone, please give her an award. She deserves it.

But as Seokjin returns with her drink, she decides that orange juice is just as good too.

"So, have you decided what you want or do you need more time?" Seokjin asks as he places her drink down on the counter.

Yoonji smiles, folding the menu up as she hands it back to him. "The number one western breakfast combo sounds nice. Can I have that, please?"

Seokjin takes the menu back and grins, jotting something down in his notepad. "Of course. I'll bring your food once it's ready."

"Thank you," Yoonji calls after as he steps away towards the kitchen.

Taking a sip from the orange juice, however, makes her falter. There's been sugar added to it and just the right amount too. She never thought Seokjin would remember how she likes her orange juice though, not after it's been almost ten years since they last saw each other. Especially when she remembers that she only had orange juice around him a handful of times anyway. Yoonji takes another sip anyway and stirs the straw around, not wanting the fine crystals to settle.

The tingle in her spine returns when Seokjin does. By now, Yoonji understands what She wants her to do, but she has no idea of how to go about it properly without making a fool of herself. The orange juice is obviously a good sign, as is the bright grin plastered across Seokjin's face. She thanks him, wondering if he will try to make conversation again, but he only nods his head and goes down the counter where another customer is asking for their bill.

Yoonji eats quickly, picking at her eggs and saving her pancakes for last. She hadn't really focused on what the combo actually had in it, but she's thankful for the pancakes. Seokjin comes around a few times and asks her if she will need anything else, but it isn't until she has finished the (quite delicious) pancakes that she asks for the bill.

"Oh, it's fine. It's on the house," Seokjin replies, his smile only tapering off at the corners as she continues to stare at him.

Yoonji furrows her brows, unsure of what this all means. "Won't they dock your pay?"

Seokjin laughs, the high and squeaky laugh that always had Yoonji rushing to laugh with him lest he grew self-conscious due to all the teasing he endured for it. "Moon Diner is mine, Yoonji-yah. It's what pays for most of the stuff my coven needs."

"Oh, right. Your coven," Yoonji murmurs, a weak smile on her lips. "I thought you just worked here. Sorry."

"It's fine. I and everyone in my coven take shifts here to help keep the business going, but they're also pretty annoying. Especially now that they're bugging me about completing the coven too," Seokjin says, one brow raised as he looks Yoonji over from head to toe. "But I'm sure you've heard all of that already. Plenty of other witches have come seeking a place with us. They just never fit right."

Yoonji shakes her head, her cheeks pinkening with the lie. "Not really, no, but I hope you find that someone who will make your coven feel complete."

The cold feeling in spine vibrates tremendously, enough so to have her standing up from her seat and turning swiftly away to make her escape. But Seokjin calls out her name and she cannot help but look back at him, shivering only slightly as She tries to direct Her will on Yoonji.

Seokjin has his hand held out to her, palm down and fist closed. Yoonji can feel her knees start to shake and her breath catches in her throat, but she manages to tear her gaze away from his hand and towards his face instead. She can feel the gazes of others on her, Seokjin's coven watching them, but the gentle smile on Seokjin's face keeps her from looking away.

"You've always been an awful liar, Yoonjichi. I always hoped we would meet again and you would join my coven. I even named my diner after your affinity. I never really could forget you, you know," Seokjin murmurs, his smile growing larger with each moment. "You can say no, but I know She led you here. You've been shivering this entire time and it's pretty hot outside, so I knew it couldn't be from the weather."

Yoonji swallows, not understanding how she's able to breathe without air when she rasps, "Are you sure?"

A smile brighter than any other graces Seokjin's face. "Of course, I am."

"But what about your coven? What if I'm not a good fit?"

"You will be. They already know everything about you. It wasn't like I could keep my mouth shut about my first love anyway."

Yoonji blinks. What the fuck. Nope. This is too much for Yoonji to process all at once. She needs to focus on one thing, the most important thing.

Seokjin wants her.

And wasn't that what she always wanted? Wasn't that why she kept up with all the news about him? Wasn't that why the very moon Herself willed Yoonji here? None of this is a coincidence. Yoonji has dabbled in magic and supernatural creatures for far too long to believe in coincidences anymore.

Whatever it is, Yoonji already has her answer.

She reaches out her open palm and slides her hand under Seokjin's, her fingers willing his own to open. Yoonji presses her palm to his now open one and turns them slowly over until hers is on top. Her fingers tap against his wrist, finding his pulse point easily and pressing down only once before her palm slides up his arm. His mirrors her and soon enough they are grasping forearms.

"Welcome," Seokjin says over their intertwined arms. "I've missed you."

Magic tingles up her arm from her fingertips, the tattoo on her chest sizzling hot for one short moment until the ceremony is complete and Yoonji is able to feel six other bodies of magic in the pit of her stomach. Seokjin's is the strongest as he is the leader, but after him is an earth witch named Namjoon, a fire witch by the name of Jimin, a water witch named Jeongguk, a sun witch named Hoseok, and a nature wizard who goes by Taehyung. Yoonji feels the way each of their magic brightens to welcome her into their circle, but when her own joins the mix, a calm settles over them all.

The coven is now truly complete.

"Thank you for having me." Yoonji manages a smile of her own as she continues to grip Seokjin's forearm, the cold feeling in her spine all but gone and has found it's way to her stomach to greet her new coven. "I've missed you too."
