Intro post 👋
My name is Alda, I use they/them pronouns and I'm from and living in Iceland. This account will be mainly focused on astrology and spirituality, but aside from those things I'm a queer and anti-capitalist activist, artist and creator.

So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.

Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose – off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution – fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale – leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger.

Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge don’t accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.

She didn't even throw the can, only the beans? Not sure I would've bothered opening it first 😆

3H here as well, though none of my brothers have strong Scorpio placements. My mum does, but otherwise it's not very apparent (unless it's angles, I don't have times for extended family). But I also think it's in how I personally experience those traits.

A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story.

First panel:
Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“
Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!”

Second panel:
Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!”
Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!”

Third panel:
Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!”
Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!”

Fourth panel:
Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!”
Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

Oh yeah tbc, enbies (non-binary people) were only included recently, obviously we were not included 50 years ago. This year's committee did an excellent job of including us imo, as well as trans women! There were trans folks all over the place this year, both on and off stage 🥰

Happy anniversary you sweeties!! 🥰💖

I've been enjoying Tidal since I changed, and rediscovering artists I used to love whose work wasn't on Spotify! The features are mostly the same as on Spotify so it's easy to navigate, and I know they pay the artists way better 😊

I've been meaning to write about the astrology of the historic women's strike in '75 but it got swamped in all my other to-do things, perhaps I should pick it up again 👀 in the meantime if any of you are interested, here's more info in English: grapevine.is/mag/feature/...

Fifty Years Later, Push For Equality Continues: Remembering The Strike That Stopped The Nation

On October 24, 1975, 90 percent of women all around Iceland went on strike. Twenty-five thousand of them gathered on...

Veröld sem ég vil - World that I want was the slogan for this year and during the meeting, attendees were encouraged to imagine a world of true equality into being. It felt magical without directly connecting it to magic, religion or new age-y nonsense 💖

A group of women dressed in colourful rain ponchos and hoods hold a sign saying "Heimur án ofbeldis er mögulegur" - "A world without violence is possible".

At the 50 year anniversary of the Women and Enby's National Strike yesterday, there was this invocation of Venus 😍

A sign says "pray to Venus* - world that I want"
A sign below it was left empty and various inscriptions in different hands are on it, promoting feminist slogans mostly in icelandic or english. To the side of the photo, a person in a blue coat and hat is writing on a similar sign facing out to the side.

*note: I'm having trouble correctly translating the icelandic "heitum á" but it denotes both a prayer and a promise.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Interesting question! Both for sure, but I think more in family traits and also ancestor work (which is probably that Pluto conjunction) 🤔 like that's what I naturally think of when I think of my IC and its sign, but I can appreciate how it shows up in me privately too.

Show me your angles with memes in your camera roll

Descendant in Pisces I conjunct Mars (Jupiter in Taurus).

I want her so bad (currently not doing anything to get her).

IC in Scorpio II (Mars in Pisces)

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Me: picture of a person on a sofa drinking wine with cats, surrounded by plants.

MC in Taurus II conjunct Jupiter (Venus in Cancer)

Hey #WitchSky, #OccultSky, and #WitchMadness. A lot of folks, including several from our magickal communities, may be losing their SNAP benefits next month. This means they may struggle to afford food/necessities.

I started a new kind of therapy a month ago and since Tuesday I have had four separate cathartic cries... which I'm pretty sure is more than I've cried in the last year altogether 🥹

Highly suggest just writing how you naturally write and not worrying about who will think it looks like AI. AI writing is literally supposed to sound like us. That’s how it was built. It sounds like you, not the other way around.
