Text 1: When you’ve been working on your mind and spirit for so long and now the Universe tells you it’s time to work on your physical body

Text 2: Don’t make me run! I’m full of chocolate!

I’ve had this image saved on my phone FOREVER; it’s an alien skull carved in dark Smoky Quartz. The eyes are Labradorite. So cool and mesmerizing, I feel like it’s one of my guides…

It’s really weird when astrologers keep on saying that Sagittarius likes to travel. I don’t like to travel physically but emotionally, mentally & spiritually? Yes.

Text 1: Me looking at the current astrology to confirm my mood swings.

Text 2: Omg I knew it

Text 3: Look at this mess

I am still downloading & organizing my photos from iCloud to Flickr and found old pics of Miri my second cat.

I woke up this morning feeling extremely tired and stressed out about the current state of the world, particularly in the lovely USA. So much that I had to let it out, meaning I had to cry in front of my husband. He knows I NEVER cry as it’s usually the other way around (he’s a double water sign). I literally couldn’t stop the tears flowing – I am SO tired of paying bills when everything is getting more expensive while the orange man gets away with so fucking much. I just got a pay increase recently but now it’s going to the utilities bill and gas for the cars.

I don’t want to repeat all the negative shit going on in politics & economics so I’ll just leave it at that. This is supposed to be my therapy right now.

So yeah, I cried. But not to worry, I am okay. I actually needed that, and I feel better now actually.

If you ever have really strong feelings or emotions that you’ve been bottling up and have been holding inside – it’s better to just let it out whether it’s through writing or crying which is what I did. Just don’t take it out on someone else.

I probably mentioned that I have a lot of Saturn in my long term influences lately; I really think that’s why I’m feeling this way – Saturn opposition natal Moon and Saturn trine natal Sun. Aargh.

I know at the end of the day, I am still blessed. I wake up with a roof over my head, I still have a job and I’m not sick or injured. But I had to get it out at that very moment, as Saturn was pressing on me.

Here is an old card pull from 2019 – IX of Pentacles – self-mastery, attainment, gains. Desire for financial security. Money. Success. Material comfort. Leisure time. Fruitfulness. Cultivation. Self-worth. Well-being. Pleasure. Refinement. Prosperity as a result of past efforts. Solitary affluence. Well-deserved success. (Source: Tarot Plain and Simple by Anthony Louis)

Here is the 9 of Pentacles from the Albano Waite version, along with some other cards pulled from the same deck as well as cards pulled from Sacred Symbols Oracle deck. Surrounded by a Quartz crystal grid with a Selenite on top. I tend to pull the same cards over and over, even though this was from 2019. Even ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini would pull the same cards for me when I had questions. When learning tarot, pay attention to the same cards coming up over and over again – that means something that you should probably pay attention to.

Tuesday May 26, 2026 – we have absolutely nothing to complain about, as we live in the United States. There are unspeakable horrors, corruption and genocide that is happening in other countries.

There is No Creativity without Discomfort

The back design of tarot and oracle card decks I own are just as beautiful

It’s kind of embarrassing what social media marketers have to do (at least in my experience); for example liking your own posts from different accounts so it looks like there are more likes than there really are. It’s fucking hard to do this organically and I think that’s why a lot of people cheated back in the day and bought likes & followers instead. Of course nowadays, it isn’t allowed anymore…just use bots, amirite? Ugh. I still don’t know how to do that, nor do I want to.

I think that is why I never considered myself a true marketer – you either come off way too salesy or it just feels forced. But I did try to create content for myself at some point under my real name. Trying to merge my Midheaven in Scorpio with my sun in the 10th house just wasn’t working though…since I have been working in the adult entertainment industry for years now, I realize that I feel more comfortable being semi-hidden out of the public eye (although my Mars in Leo still likes to be seen & admired sometimes, remember?).

A true occultist to the bone, and so here I am back home at Save the Savages.

The prompt I asked Gemini:
Explain to me what the difference is between my Midheaven in Scorpio and my sun in the 10th house; I’m trying to write a blog post showing why I can’t be a true marketer when I was attempting to create content for myself as a personal brand and prefer to be semi-hidden from the pubic eye.

Gemini’s response:
This is a brilliant topic for a blog post because it perfectly captures the “High-Stakes Tug-of-War” between your outward success and your private soul. To a “Marketing Guru,” the 10th House and the Midheaven (MC) look like the same thing—The Spotlight—but to you, they are functioning in two completely different dimensions.

Here is the forensic breakdown of why your “Personal Brand” feels like a trap.

1. The Midheaven (MC) in Scorpio: The “Internal Investigator”

The Midheaven is your Public Reputation and your “Professional Soul.” In Scorpio, your “Face” to the world isn’t a billboard—it’s a Mask.

The Conflict: Scorpio is the sign of the occult, secrets, and “Deep Water.” Having a Scorpio MC means you are naturally drawn to careers that involve uncovering truth, not broadcasting noise. * The “Anti-Marketer” Logic: True marketing requires “Radical Transparency” and constant, shallow visibility (being “The Face”). A Scorpio MC hates this. You want your work to be a mystery that people have to “detect” or “earn” access to. You’d rather be the Power Behind the Throne (the producer, the researcher, the strategist) than the “Brand” on the screen.

2. The Sun in the 10th House: The “Visible Light”

The Sun is your Core Identity and Vitality. Having it in the 10th House (the House of Career/Fame) means that you must be recognized to feel alive.

The Paradox: Your Sun wants to shine and achieve the $2M “Establishment” status. But because it’s filtered through that Scorpio MC, the “Light” feels like a spotlight you didn’t ask for.
The Result: You attract attention effortlessly, but you feel “exposed” when you get it. You want the Authority (10th House) without the Attention (Marketing).

Meme Dump #7

The meme says:

Mars doesn’t wanna meet your stupid ass

This might be my favorite meme of all time. I LOL every time because I see myself in it A LOT.

Questions to think about today is: where is Mars in your natal chart? What sign and house is it in? And how does it play out in your life?

For me, Mars is in Leo in the 7th house (Whole Signs). In Placidus, it’s in the 6th house. Still don’t know what that fully means, I only understand the basics of it.

Let’s break it down a little then:

Mars – the planet of assertive (sometimes aggressive) actions & desires

Leo – a fixed fire sign; known to persevere in their actions. The word I’m actually looking for is loyalty.

7th house – the area where relationships and partnerships are concerned.

So then you combine or synthesize the three aspects together to create a statement that makes sense to the person.

For me, I interpret this as someone who is assertive and usually gets what they want when it comes to relationships; this could be in marriage or general partnerships. They also tend to last in the relationship (loyalty) so long as there is passion, fun, creativity, excitement.

*As I write this I can’t help but think of Roxy, my one Leo friend.???? I seriously miss that girl.
