bookmark_borderWhen You’re a Scorpio AND a Sagittarius

Posted on by savethesavages

So in Western astrology, I am a Sagittarius. In Vedic, I am a Scorpio. Both make a whole lot of sense to me, but lately I’m starting to see more of my Scorpio side come out. For example, my career – sun in the 10th house with a Midheaven in Scorpio. Scorpio is naturally at home in the 8th house – the house of sex, death and transformation. I’ve been working in the adult entertainment industry for more than 16 years now, and I’ve become more secretive and mysterious about my life (a Scorpio trait) even though I’m still in public spaces (social media).

What is western astrology?

Western astrology is a system of divination and psychological analysis based on the tropical zodiac, the 12 signs, and planetary positions. It traces its roots back to ancient Babylon and Hellenistic Egypt, focusing heavily on individual personality traits, inner psychology, and life experiences. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Core Concepts
  • Tropical Zodiac: Anchored to Earth’s seasons rather than fixed star constellations, starting with Aries at the spring equinox.
  • The Natal Chart: A map of the sky at the exact time and location of a person’s birth, used to analyze character and life tendencies.
  • Sun Signs: Popularly used to describe a person’s core identity based on the position of the Sun during their birth month.
  • Planets, Houses, and Aspects: Planets represent distinct drives, houses represent specific life arenas, and aspects show how planets interact with each other. [1, 2, 3, 7, 9]

What is vedic astrology?

Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish (the “science of light”) or Hindu astrology, is an ancient Indian system that maps the positions of stars and planets to understand a person’s karma, life path, and destiny. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Core Concepts
  • Sidereal Zodiac: Unlike Western astrology (which uses fixed seasons), Vedic astrology uses the actual, observable constellations in the sky, creating a shift of about 23 to 24 degrees in the zodiac signs.
  • The Birth Chart (Kundli): A map of the sky at your exact time and place of birth, divided into 12 houses representing wealth, health, career, and relationships.
  • Nakshatras: A specialized system of 27 lunar mansions that track the moon’s path to offer deeper, more personal insights into your mind and emotions.
  • The Dasha System: A unique timeline used to predict when specific planetary periods will happen and shape events throughout your life. [11, 12]

What is sidereal astrology?

Sidereal astrology is a star-based system that maps the zodiac using the actual physical locations of constellations in the sky. It differs from Western tropical astrology by accounting for the Earth’s slow wobble, known as the precession of the equinoxes. Because of this shift, a person’s sidereal zodiac sign is usually about 24 to 25 degrees—or roughly one full sign—behind their tropical sign. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

 

How It Works
  • Star Alignment: Uses visible constellations along the path of the sun (the ecliptic) as a permanent background map rather than anchoring to the changing seasons.
  • Ayanamsa: Relies on mathematical correction systems—such as the popular Lahiri ayanamsa—to sync the starting point of the zodiac with specific reference stars like Spica.
  • Real-Time Astronomy: Matches what you would see if you pointed a telescope at the sky and checked which constellation a planet is physically sitting in. [4]
Major Traditions and Differences
  • Vedic Connection: Forms the core foundation of Vedic astrology (Jyotish) from India, as well as several ancient Babylonian and Egyptian systems.
  • Tropical Contrast: Tropical astrology fixes 0 degrees Aries to the spring (vernal) equinox and tracks Earth’s seasons, meaning it grows out of alignment with the actual physical stars over long spans of time.
  • Sign Shifts: If you are a late-degree sign in Western tropical astrology (like a late Aries), your sidereal chart will typically place you in the previous sign (such as Pisces). [3, 4]

Posted on by savethesavages

This is from 2016 when I was attempting to put myself out there as a graphic designer / social media marketer on Twitter and Instagram. Below is the pitch that I wrote to go along with it. Feel free to steal my idea and see if it will work for you in 2026.

Why am I even sharing this? I noticed people are reading my old posts on marketing. So I figured I’d share more of my marketing fails and share the PSD.

Good luck.

Need Help with Your Promotions?

I had designed this initially to post on Instagram, but I know there were some other things I had to flesh out before I actually posted it. So here are some details about my offerings:

+ Please leave a note when checking out on Paypal as to what it is you’d like for me to promote – you, your website, your band, your services, etc? You can also send me an email at: shermgrafik at gmail dot com

+ I have a fulltime job so please allow for some time for me to promote you, as I won’t be able to do it right away. If you have suggestions or specific needs as to what time I should post or tweet, please let me know.

+ If you are paying for more than 1 Insta Post & Tweet, rest assured that I will space out the posts so they won’t be consecutive. I will also do my best to hashtag the posts & tweets properly in order for more people to find it.

+ I’m sure there are more things to be added here. But for now, I am keeping it simple.

Thank you!

Part of my marketing strategy for Metaphysical Vibes was to do giveaways by giving crystals & stones on occasion; it was a way to gain new followers and potential buyers to become more aware of your business, maybe motivating them to buy something later on. Most of the time though, the people who wanted something for free never really had any money and didn’t have any intention to buy later on.

Just another learning experience.

My work comes out the best when I’m doing it for something or someone…in this case one of my best friends gifted me a sketchbook to fill up and mail out by a certain time. Of course whenever I have deadlines, it motivates me to create.

A post shared by Elle Stanger, CSE (@stripperwriter)


Elle Stanger has been educating people while actively in the sex work industry for years. If you want to learn how to act around sex workers (online and irl), you should follow her. Because damn, a lot of you act like this EVEN around non sex workers…like idk, when a woman is just simply existing online, speaking up for herself or has an opinion you disagree with? It gets so exhausting which is why I disappear for weeks just to get people’s shitty energy off of me…

Posted on by savethesavages

Not that I have any time to do this (unless I get let go from my job like she did) but this sums up perfectly why I don’t want to be a content creator. Besides, my Midheaven in Scorpio prefers not to be seen too much while my Sagittarius sun keeps me creative but inconsistent and my Libra moon makes me indecisive about what kind of content to make and post. Sigh…seriously, it’s a neverending cycle.

I really admire Cities By Diana‘s (I’m sorry babygirl – I wish I could describe your style better) dark humor, satire and commentary on trying to survive in California and her cute-brainrot style of video graphics & editing skills very much and so I had to post this.
