One very interesting thing about this lake is that it sits between two different geologic zones. The other side has softer rock and is a lot greener.

Officially started my “workation” with a hike to Tappenkarsee!

The European Central Bank is working on a new design for the Euro notes. They have 10 proposals shortlisted, split into 2 sets of motives, showing either some famous people, or BIRDS AND RIVERS!!!!! 🤩😍 www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknot...

For the next couple hours the Moon will align with Barbault's Basket, creating a yod and a t-square. I wonder how this is going to manifest.

I’m spending this week in a very remote part of Austria for a university excursion. This is where we go for meals.

I saw lots “Blaue Enzian” (Gentiana acaulis) on the mountain today. They are under very strict protection because people plucked them heavily. I suppose smart phones helped them to recover.

It was very old, at least 400 years. I’m sad about it, but it’s also beautiful that some trees are still able to live a full life. Farewell my friend. I miss you.

My oak friend has died. 😔 I already kind of felt it when I was going there today, emptiness, like I’m going nowhere. It must have happened around two months ago.

Venus and Mars are also perfecting a square the same day, with Sun Jupiter almost exactly at their midpoint, creating a "Thor's Hammer Kite" with the Moon. (What's the actual name for this?)

My Saturn transits for the coming weeks. The Asc Opposition didn't reveal anything about this series of transits yet. All I have is a gut feeling.

I adjusted my growing lamp to only shine on this pot two months ago, with great success! I still have no clue what to do with them. My best plan is to plant them somewhere in Vienna as guerilla gardening project.

I spent the last 3 days on forestry field trips, and no one was hurt! But we spent a lot of time talking about chopping, sawing and cutting trees, and when to do what in a 100 year time frame.

And my other sister brought a tiny little box of colored quail eggs. Chicken egg for scale. Happy easter!

Was visiting a friend in Innsbruck. Haven’t been there in years, very colorful city!

Today’s Moon Venus Pluto T-Square is going to be exact, like down to the arc-minute exact! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before:

The local mint released their second zodiac silver coin, it’s Taurus! And I have my answer from the first coin now: They all depict a Capricorn rising chart on the back. Which is odd, but at least makes some sense, since Capricorn was the first coin, so it’s the rising sign of the collection.

Since I couldn't find any pre-existing symbols to represent Antiscia and Contra-Antiscia in @aspectarian.com , I came up with eight different options. Which ones do you like the best? Horizontal lines represent the Aries-Libra day/night axis.

Alright, who can figure out why they put 1583 on my birthday cake?

My new Solar Return chart. It's going to be a Venus 1H profection year, Venus in the last minutes of detriment. And well, Uranus is going to hit my early Gemini Moon this summer, so unsurprisingly Moon also has a special place in this Solar Return.

Yet I still finish this year with a feeling of stability, that I haven't felt in a long time. This was my Solar Return chart:

I see what you mean. It makes sense to use two lines of equal lengths. Maybe it makes sense to use the equals = and plus + signs.

Did my first non-family apple tree pruning job today! (A university friend asked me. I was paid in pizza and beer 🍕🍺😛)

The orchid family is really large. What I mean is the genus Phalaenopsis, which is the one commonly used as house plants. In nature they live on trees. To me this picture neatly summarizes Aquarian nature, using a novel idea to reuse and repurpose Capricornian structures. ...

I wanted to ask for more opinions on different house cusps designs please. Which one helps you best at reading the chart and why?

But, there was also one positive outcome today. I discovered a new local arts and crafts store and found this gold shimmering plate, that should be a great present for a friend of mine who likes shiny stuff!

Best I can do is a pot of honey locust seedlings.

Here's the new return chart. Last one had Venus 6H tightly square Uranus 9H. Chart ruler Mercury 4H. I think that was my whole social media adventure. The new one has Venus 3H, again square Uranus, ruled by Saturn conjunct IC opposite Moon. Chart ruler averse to Venus and retrograde. Hm... 🤔

I just had to do something with this chart today, so I decided to start a personal Instagram/Threads account, similar to this one. I'm not particularly fond of Meta platforms, but I feel like I need to start using them if I ever want my Astrology app to go somewhere. I don't know how I will use...

I'm watching this old show 'Everwood' right now, and it has such intense family & relationship drama, intertwined with interesting moral dilemmas. I had to have a look at the chart! Chart ruler Jupiter in Leo, in a fixed T-square with Venus and Moon/Neptune. I think that fixed T-square really...

Ah nice! So turns out every square to stationary Eris is preceded by a square to Chiron. So we will have a whole week of being confronted with painful inconvenient truths, followed by an over the top petty escalation as a reaction. Seems like the perfect time for this! 😬
