Third.
More characters to get at least 10.
Your Taurean moon is in the Third House. That suggests that your orientation to stability, beauty, and material substance is expressed primarily in relation to communication, teaching, and the exchange of ideas.
You want to deal in beautiful, solid, rich ideas.

Thank you!!
Astrology keeps amazing me. I totally missed that although frater Xavier keeps saying you need to look at the planets in relations.
So yeah this fits perfectly and explains the newfound irrelevance on material things.
Thanks again for your glorious insight.

The Healing Custom arrived today. I was wondering if Q will let it fly because itâs not directly within recommendations for build options but here we are!
Tomorrow or Thursday I will start with that alongside Alchemist.
Yesterday I tried running Alchemist and TEMPERANCE in one day. Was lethargic all day. Like REALLY low on energy. However, this could just be from TEMPERANCE which always keeps me in low energy recon so far.
Regardless of this, Alchemist keeps working relentlessly.
- The inner peace I am experiencing gets better and better. I am unphased by most things I experience.
- Itâs much easier for me to alter my emotional state. When something bad/annoying happens, I can consciously guide my mind to the source of it and let it go.
- I am having very vivid dreams about the spirituality I should follow.
- I am also FULLY fine with that practice. I genuinely donât care what anyone thinks of what I do. This is a very liberating feeling.
I also notice the modules in TEMPERANCE:
- The Wonder is one of the most pronounced in that custom, funnily enough. The joy for beauty and the details of life are very noticeable.
- EGO ADSUM, well, doesnât need explanation, just very noticeable.

Finanical Success Reality Shifter. Now this might play into Virtue Series: Temperance but my understanding of Abundance changed. Mostly because I was subconsciously guided to a video from the Mind and Magick channel that made me realize: Abundance means giving in abundance and thus receiving in abundance. It doesnât mean taking in abundance.
The example he used: Most men look at women to get something from them (sex), especially when they seek PUA channels. They live in scarcity. What they can TAKE. Living in abundance means what you can GIVE to her. Via this abundant mindset of relentless giving, she will give you anything you want. Itâs an exchange.
Also true for money of course. Money is a measurement of service provided. The more value you give to people, the more they are willing to pay.
I am not noticing much from the Secrets of Akasha or Secret Source yet. My money making techniques are still the same, but thatâs not necessarily a bad thing. Plus, to really notice all modules I probably need more time on that custom.

Also interesting dream tonight.
I was in a room which was pretty dark, despite the many artificial lights in there. But they didnât manage to light the room.
Only when I walked in with a bunch of white candles, the room started to be illuminated.
I think this is a metaphor for my life/mind/being.
I need to use REAL things (the candles) to illuminate my life.
As in, I need to focus on spirituality and deeper things than the superficial. At least thatâs what I am reading from it.

I am still working through my Astrology placements to refine the understanding of myself, which explained itself with my Mars in Pisces.
Itâs quite the interesting constellation having Mars in Pisces and in the 2nd House.
Mars in Pisces is fully attuned to the soul. Anything that is higher than the material world.
Yet I read this about Mars in the 2nd House:
Individuals having Mars in the 2nd House invest a lot of their time and energy in making money, gathering as many possessions and beautiful things as possible.
This all plays very well in my many Gemini placements.
Duality.
I am here and there. Yet nowhere at all.
EGO ADSUM.
In the moment.
No past. No future.
I am trying to reconcile what gives me motivation then in clean English. Thatâs what mars is about, right? Drive. Motivation. Will. Force.
The 2nd House is also about business. So it would seem what drives me is building a business around the soul. The higher self. Having this metaphysical topic as an income stream.
Combined with Venus in Gemini and the Fifth House, Iâd say it is something artistic that moves the soul. I get GREAT PLEASURE from moving people emotionally. I.e. with epic soundtracks, movie clips, etc.
Being a movie director has always been a childrenâs dream. I was always drawn to movies in the metaphysical. Religious movies. Star Wars. Space movies, etc. Also movies like Troy where the story serves a higher goal of mankind, changing history. So it seems that this is the direction.
Interesting revelation.
Paging @Malkuth to see what he thinks (sorry for tagging you in all things astrology all the time haha)

The essence of the 2nd House is Value. More externally or traditionally oriented astrologers will describe it in terms of money and possessions. More contemporary, evolutionarily or psychologically oriented astrologers will talk about the internal sense of worth and esteem that underlie comfort with value. But itâs the same thing.
Currently, the metaphor Iâve developed to think of astrological placements is this:
The Planet is a vehicle. The Sign is the driver (who imparts a particular style and agenda to the vehicle). The House is the route (or area within which the vehicle travels).
As youâve said, the planet Mars is the vehicle of Will, Assertiveness, Force. In your case, the driver of that Will-Ship is Pisces. How does Pisces drive? With Imagination, Dreams, Empathy, Fantasy, Merging across boundaries, With Spirituality and Compassion.
So what gives you motivation (and what expresses your motivation) is to Imagine, Dream, Fantasize, Empathize, with meaning. And you are most at home in doing this in relation to objects, subjects, and contexts of VALUE.
This can be money and possessions. It can also be the sense of self-worth, self-esteem, and even status.
Weâd expect your will and passion to get fired up when youâre using your imagination to explore issues of value, or to imagine the beautiful life that you or someone else wants. Itâs a very good placement for Manifesting your dream lifestyle.

Iâm currently mainly influenced by Steven Forrest, an evolutionary astrologer. But the practical concrete astrology interpretations work too.
For example, I also have Mars in Pisces but mine is in the Ninth House.
As the planet of passion, Mars also suggests where someone may pursue work. We can predict or prescribe potentially rewarding career directions based on Mars.
The 9th house is related to traveling across seas for learning, teaching, and expansion of frontiers.
My career has definitely gone in that direction. And it did so without my ever thinking about astrology. The opportunities just opened up most easily in that direction.
I do use my imagination to teach and learn across boundaries and cultural differences.
You would be expected to use your imagination to help others and yourself to recognize and establish value. This would seem to be related to the work you do in coaching and helping men.

First of all, thank you as always for your time on these matters!
Yeah this has definitely been the case. Ever since I focused my work around these things - before when I thought Astrology is just âesoteric bullshitâ - things seem to fall into place much easier.
You know when you can easily fire out a 4,000 word blog post in an hour on a masculinity topic, whereas I am having a tough time writing even half that on any other topicâŚ
To be honest, the more I dive into this and get different opinions (which all lead to the same) I am reaffirmed in what I am already doing with my brand. Coaching and helping men discovering their self, integrating their shadow, building personal strength and confidence to achieve in life.
I just love doing uplifting things.
My Venus and Sun placement maximizes this with that I like to express myself quite a lot. Which is why, going down the line, Renaissance Man is a must have. And why I like the epic, uplifting, mindset shifting movies about deep topics.
So thanks again Sir Malkuth

So FFS gave me a huge surge in energy as mentioned. Probably Sanguine and Fusion Optimized.
But seriously, anytime I run Alchemist I am just in love with my life. I cannot describe the energy itâs giving me. But it is a complete peace of mind. Itâs also very silent at times. Where I do not have any thoughts. This is completely new to me and also a big frightening, but also great. Silence is beautiful.
I am also being COMPLETELY fine with whatever anyone thinks of my spiritual practices or what I âfollowâ there.
So in Summary, Alchemist (ST1) makes life fucking easy. Relaxed. Joyful. Youâre in tune with nature and yourself.
Could there be anything better?
It also keeps manifesting scenarios that are âtoughâ through which I work and then come out with a mindset that will prevent them from happening in the future.
There is no other way to describe this, but itâs lovely!

Interesting things I forgot to mention:
- Appetite is reduced by 50%
- I absolutely hate being âfullâ at this point
- Huge urges to fast every now and then for 24hours or more
- I am not vegetarian like many on Alchemist, but I am much more careful of what I put in my body (even more than before)
- Libido is reduced, I want more quality instead of quantity
- I need less sleep to still be charged in the morning
It seems like Alchemist is doing some heavy lifting on energy levels and balancing.
