In a desperate attempt to leave the US, I'm applying to grad school in Canada and New Zealand. But, I've been out of academics nearly two decades.

Would someone with some literary/cinema expertise review some of my work before I submit my portfolio?

♎️: every person with libra placements i’ve had a thing with lacked solid follow-through. hard sell atp but they’re gorgeous.

♍️: would highly consider it tbh but afraid i would cry from judgment.

♊️: yes provided they can talk about anything but themselves and focus on something sustainable.

solar return got 🌙 exactly conjunct mc (in ♌️, so maybe happy, but maybe still dramatic). it’s also a venus profection year with her in the 11th and ruling my 7th (also a 12h natal year for me so don’t get too excited).

mc overlays my natal 3rd so I MIGHT FINALLY BE ABLE TO WRITE AGAIN, PLEASE.

i’m also still coping with looking at my family with a new, more distant lens and am really disappointed with what i’m finding. i wish we could pick them, or wish some people wanted to be different.
