Signs In a Shady Fight And How To Face Them

(A shady fight is a tense conversation full of shady remarks, personal attacks and it usually goes off the top pretty fast)

Fire Signs: Go full on fight mode, sick of it. To stop them, expose all their bad traits and be sure you have people to rely on (possibly not Pisceans, they wouldn’t win over a Leo easily for example) so that they feel like they better stop. Also facts can help a lot.

Water Signs: Damn good at throwing the best temper tantrums, they can make you look guilty even when you’re not. Do not answer back because it’s something they’re really good at doing, just show them facts and tell them to grow up and stop being pathetic.

Air Signs: Will avoid conflict and just tell you to get lost, just let them know you’re getting pretty done with their shit and that if they want to win this argument they better come up with stuff and stop saying nonsense. If they do, act like an Earth sign and be the adult.

Earth Signs: They tend to act snarky, mean and superior to intimidate you and feel bigger than they are. Just hit a weak spot and act like you’re having the best fun ever. They’ll slowly stop trying to hit you with facts and internally will feel confused.

Turan, Goddess of Love

Alluring, pure, fascinating and bold, Turan is the love, fertility and femininity goddess of the Etruscan pantheon and also the protector of the ancient city of Velch. The Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren, Belgium states that her name in Etruscan means “dove”, while other linguists came to the conclusion that it shares the same indoeuropean of the Ancient Greek word “τύραννος”, standing for “lord”. Nonetheless, two other theories exist: the first one recalls the dominant nuance of Turan’s persona, as the Ancient Greek word for “matron” is the similar sounding noun “δρούνα”; the latter instead focuses more on the Etruscan word “Tan” meaning “moon”, and its nexus with the goddess’ name, as female deities in numerous religions are believed to be bearers of the lunar energy, opposed to the male solar energy. The goddess shares a vast number of similarities with her Roman equivalent, Venus, such as the romantic relationship with the charming Adonis (in Etruscan “Atunis”), and a presumable bonding with the god of war Acun (where the “c” implies an aspiration). Her maidens were called “Lasas” and her spirit animals are pigeons and black swans. The importance given to such goddess is a clear hint to the matriarchal society on which archaic Etruria planted its roots, as even later women will have freedom and privileges (such as the right of landowning and having personal accessories of any type). She is also known as “Turan ati”, meaning “Mother Turan”, similarly to Cybele in Anatolia and Ashtoreth in abrahamic cults.

The song which I think incarnates at best the fascinating, tense, seductive and virginal nature of Turan is “Lovesick” by BANKS, as the rhythm carries a nostalgic and frustrating, yet mystifying and almost monumental verve. It reminds me of a heavenly garden with sakura trees dotted all over, under a menacing crimson sky.

I hope with all my heart you experience the music’s aura.

Its use dates back to the Vedic era, therefore it is considered a magical, divine plant since millennia. Represents purity, protection, mystical bliss and sensibility.

Libra: Circaea, named after the Greek sorceress Circe, said to have a vast knowledge of magic and also known for transforming into feral creatures her enemies.

Same thing happened to me, I am not a witch but I am still studying to become one and last week this guy just said some stuff he should have kept secret, not bad stuff but still a series of embarrassing things. I silently targeted him with thoughts in my mind but I expected nothing. The same day he had a huge nosebleed and shut his hand in a metal door, resulting in two cuts and two broken bones.

Is it possible that I cursed someone just by intent? I was planning on cursing this one girl but I haven't done anything yet and it turned out she went to hospital today because she felt ill in the morning

I would say that it’s technically possible but very very very unlikely. I want to give you a better more specific explanation but I’m having trouble putting my thoughts into words. It’s sort of more like getting a wish than casting a spell, if that makes sense?

SHARE AND REBLOG. I have friends and relatives in Northern Italy and it is as catastrophic as it looks like, please intervene.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

The Zodiac’s Deepest, Darkest Confessions.

-Aries: some Aries natives tend to hide under an extroverted and greater-than-life personality a huge need for competition and prevailing onto others, meaning they are really good at wearing masks and playing nicey-nicey, especially when it comes to climbing up social circles. However, when it doesn’t work like they want to they become delusional, repressed and usually really menacing towards anyone who is gentle to them, especially if any of the benefits above aren’t required.

-Taurus: Damn if they are some blunt bitches. Tauruses really like making harsh comments on people in front of them and not giving a fuck, usually because it makes them feel reassured and superior. In reality, they are really fragile and in constant need of support by a group of people. In fact, the most obnoxious Tauruses have the bad habit of being part of really bad social circles.

- Gemini: Gemini’s are really caring people at the core but they really struggle with their emotions, because they want to look controlled and calm all the time and frequent lots of different environments; they aren’t fake but curious, and that’s great, but this lack of solid bases which they can count on is a problem indeed.

-Cancer: Cancers are probably the most complicated, emotional and unstable signs of all the zodiac: their friends many times ask themselves if it’s friendship or a constant fight (it’s actually hard sometimes to decide which one is more correct) and this is because right now they’re all giggles and smiles and five minutes later they will shout at you or push you away giving you a mean stare. Also they sometimes project their feelings g onto others, even to manipulate.

-Leo: Leos can be good and caring friends, but the bad ones (which, news flash, are way more common) are tremendously arrogant, defensive and always trying to act snobbish and cold with people they don’t like. They stick onto things they hate and are ready to stand for their friends really fiercely even when they’ve committed something really wrong and unexcusable. Will also try to point out your flaws just like Taurus to feel powerful and stronger.

-Virgo: Developed Virgos are people deserving of love, respect and true admiration, except for they’re rare: most of them (especially girls because women with Earth Signs are the meanest, deal with it) will be judgemental, critical of others and a clean freak, but most of all they will try to analyze people as if all the intel they collected could be used against those same people.

- Libra: Ahh, Libra, actually there are quite few bad Libras out there. But they are pretty annoying. First of all, it may seem granted but I kid you not it’s superficiality;

nobody likes that, and most of all their childish approach to some things.

-Scorpio: That’s a tough one, because even Developed Scorpios albeit wise are still pretty hard, but mostly the problem is their serious anger problems which makes them throw temper tantrums for the lightest things, and also they are really good at ruining relationship (especially romantic ones) with others because of their tormented feelings. Also they seem to hold grudges for a lifetime and can be pretty insensible when they want to.

-Sagittarius: Sagittarians are actually really good at dealing with their flaws, just like Libra and Cancer, but they usually forget that dealing with emotions and empathising isn’t a cakewalk for them. Also, their jokes and constant humor (this also happen with some Capricorns) make some of their important discussions pretty difficult to take seriously.

-Capricorn: Capricorns can be officially the meanest sign, and that’s because they can be pretty bossy, authoritarian and especially they will easily bully and humiliate other people for fun and see it as a game. Bad Capricorns love to brag about the evil things they did, and in fact they are capable of doing and saying lots and lots of very, very shameful stuff. They can be sly, selfish and really untrustworthy.

-Aquarius: Aquarians are weirdos for sure, like what is wrong with those dumbos?

Initially it looks like their only flaw is that they get obsessed with an argument even if they’re proved wrong for no reason whatsoever, and secondly they isolate themselves many times, often for the desire to be unique. In the end, they just look like the rich-but-fake-poor hippie who makes random videos about stuff and writes nonsense. And well, confident Aquarians act really, really superior to others and not in a nice way.

- Pisces: So I might seem biased on this one (and it’s because I am a Virgo) but believe me truly when I say that they are really messed up, toxic, lying and emotionally disturbed people. People often say that they have a strong sense of sacrifice: that’s bullshit, honey, it’s a Virgo thing. Pisceans help people only when it inspires them to do something better, like in social events etc. but in reality they have no problems in revealing all your deepest secrets to everyone, just to start a conversation. Anyways they will make it up and act like the loving helper who is always there, but they aren’t. Also tends to end up with bad people and likely uses substances+ gets easily irritated, nervous and sad for a whole week for one thing.
