I’ve seen a few asks/comments running around about how the witches of Tumblr seem to have all their ducks in a row and do magic spells 24/7 and are generally “perfect” because of it. I can tell you this is probably not the case. At least for me its not. I am not a Perfect Witch. I don’t rigorously follow the phases of the moon, most of the time i forget anyways. I don’t do spells on a regular basis (at least not what i consider to be spells) Heck most of the time the most witchy things i do is reblog stuff to this tumblr. So for newbie witches and hidden witches please understand: It’s completely okay to not be a “perfect” witch. Once you’ve discovered that you’re a witch you don’t have to cast spells 24/7 in order to protect your title. The Title of Witch is yours as soon as you decide you want to Claim It. No one can or should tell you how to run your path. That is something you will have to discover for yourself, and honestly that’s the best part of the journey. So you forgot a sabbat, big whoop. Sabbats come and go and i rarely do anything for them anyways (maybe halloween but thats tradition haha) Another full moon pass you by? That’s okay, some people don’t like working with the moon and that’s also okay. Try casting a spell and you don’t think it worked? Trust me i still do spells and most of the time they don’t work too. So to all the newbies and hidden witches: Do not fret. You have plenty of time to come into your path and please please please do not feel like you HAVE to be perfect in your path. I am proud to follow my path with all its bumps and turns it throws at me
Dear Diana, how can I calculate my dominant element and modality? Thank you🙏
If you do not know how to do this yourself, here are some natal chart generators. Co-Star is the one I use below. Let us talk about it as if it is yours.
Depending on the natal chart generator you use, you could also see the asteroids and the nodes. But the only players that matter are the 10 astrological planets and the Ascendant, highlighted below.
“Your” Zodiac signs are the Zodiac signs where the 11 players are. Out of the 12 Zodiac signs, there are 6 that you can call yours, highlighted below.
How many players do you have in each of your Zodiac signs?
Capricorn – 3 (Ascendant + Uranus + Neptune)
Scorpio – 3 (Mars + Pluto + Sun)
Aquarius – 2 (Saturn + Moon)
Virgo – 1 (Jupiter)
Libra – 1 (Venus)
Sagittarius – 1 (Mercury)
Use these correspondences:
FIRE – Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
EARTH – Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo
AIR – Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
WATER – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Capricorn having 3 players in it means 3 points for Earth.
Scorpio having 3 players in it means 3 points for Water.
Aquarius having 2 players in it means 2 points for Air.
Virgo having 1 player in it means 1 point for Earth.
Libra having 1 player in it means 1 point for Air.
Sagittarius having 1 player in it means 1 point for Fire.
So far, Earth leads with 4 points. Water and Air follow with 3 points each. Fire gets 1.
Now, identify the element of your Sun and Ascendant. They are the most important parts of your natal chart. So add 1 point for each. In our sample chart, the Sun is in Scorpio, and the Ascendant is in Capricorn. That means an additional 1 point for Water (Scorpio’s element) as well as for Earth (Capricorn’s element).
The final count is:
Earth – 5 points
Water – 4 points
Air – 3 points
Fire – 1 point
Your dominant element is Earth. Your secondary element is Water. Air and Fire are considered weak in you.
Use these correspondences:
CARDINAL – Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer
FIXED – Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio
MUTABLE – Sagittarius, Virgo, Gemini, Pisces
Capricorn having 3 players in it means 3 points for Cardinal.
Scorpio having 3 players in it means 3 points for Fixed.
Aquarius having 2 players in it means 2 points for Fixed.
Virgo having 1 player in it means 1 point for Mutable.
Libra having 1 player in it means 1 point for Cardinal.
Sagittarius having 1 player in it means 1 point for Mutable.
So far, Fixed leads with 5 points. Cardinal follows with 4 points. Mutable gets 2.
Now, identify the modality of your Sun and Ascendant. They are the most important parts of your natal chart. So add 1 point for each. In our sample chart, the Sun is in Scorpio, and the Ascendant is in Capricorn. That means an additional 1 point for Fixed (Scorpio’s modality) as well as for Cardinal (Capricorn’s modality).
The final count is:
Fixed – 6 points
Cardinal – 5 points
Mutable – 2 points
Your dominant modality is Fixed. Your secondary modality is Cardinal. Mutable is considered weak in you.
In a nutshell:
Fire means a passionate personality and an enthusiastic energy.
Earth means a practical personality and a grounded energy.
Air means a logical personality and an intellectual energy.
Water means an emotional personality and a spiritual energy.
Cardinal means an initiating attitude and an enterprising character.
Fixed means a determined attitude and a consistent character.
Mutable means a harmonious attitude and an adaptable character.
Since your dominant element is Earth, and your dominant modality is Fixed, it means that a sense of practicality and realism influences the choices you make in life. It also means that your determination will be your key to success, and that other people may think very highly of you because of your trustworthiness.
I made myself a flower crown today and I wanted to share it with you all. Flower Crowns are really awesome, and everyone deserves one.
I used the Weaving method, detailed below in the link provided! Here's a visual guide as well, if you're a visual learner like myself.

🔹 I’ve noticed that people with Moon and rising signs as sister signs (example: Aries rising with Libra Moon) tend to be extremely difficult to understand, they’re not naturally good with expressing their feelings and intentions, people tend to misunderstand them. It’s not natural for strangers to trust them, they always seem like they’re hiding something or like they’re not truly authentic.
🔹 I admire Cancer Moon so much, their intuition is so accurate!
🔹 People with Scorpio Moon tend to feel intense negative emotions and to be stuck on them, they should be very careful with their mental health.
🔹 People with Leo Moon have a sensitive ego, I’ve noticed that they tend to hold grudges a lot, especially with Earth placements or other fixed signs in their chart.
🔹 I’ve noticed that Virgo, Leo and Scorpio placements tend to be vindictive.
🔹 People with Venus opposite Uranus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto tend to have an unstable sense of self worth.
🔹 People with Venus in good aspect with Pluto tend to be lucky with money.
🔹 Gemini placements are not double faced, they’re just insecure, they care a lot about other people and want to impress them in a positive way imitating them.
🔹 People with Libra rising tend to be people pleasers and tend to attract many aggressive partners, they need to be careful and work on their boundaries.
🔹 We perceive ourselves as our Mercury sign, Mercury rules the mind (self talk as well) we tend to associate ourself to our self talk and with what’s on our mind.
🔹 Capricorn placements tend to over complicates simple situations.
🔹 Taurus placements tend to search for the simplest and easiest solution with everything in life.
🔹 This is so weird, I’ve never known an Aquarius Sun proud of being different. The Sun is related with the ego (self esteem as well), Aquarius is in detriment here, maybe that’s why Aquarius Suns tend to feel insecure and try to emulate others at all costs.
🔹 In general I’ve noticed that people with an Air Sun have the tendency of being insecure of themselves.
🔹 People with Sun or Venus in the 6th house tend to have a low self esteem, working on gaining confidence is always a priority for them.
🔹 Vegans tends to have planets in their 6th and 11th house.
So my petty ex, who I left for being a rapist and sexually assaulting me in my sleep, is pathetically spreading dumbass little rumors about me on world of Warcraft of all things. I’m a bit annoyed, but it isn’t like it’s hard to change servers so I guess that’s what I’ll be working on tomorrow. I don’t even want to be bothered by it but I guess I can’t even do pet battles in peace on my server now. Sucks that I have too many characters to transfer so I’ll only take one and start from the beginning, but still. I think I have the right to be irritated. It is amazing how people who are abusers act like they are the ones who are hurt when you finally leave after being abused for two years. Oh, and when I did finally leave and did finally get all my things, I found in with my clothes the clothes of the girl he was cheating on me with before covid. Can’t be happier to have cut these ties.
Which are you? I'm some odd combo of all and wouldn't change it
