How Hard Is It To Become An Austronaut? I Want To Start To Studie Astrophysics And I Don't Know If I'll

How hard is it to become an austronaut? I want to start to studie astrophysics and I don't know if I'll ever get any kind of job. Do you have any tips for people like me?

Astrophysics is a perfect field for pursuing any work at NASA!  A degree in a STEM field is a requirement of becoming an astronaut, but other than that there are many possibilities.  One of the best things about the astronaut office is its diversity.  We are scientists, engineers, military pilots, flight test engineers, medical doctors, etc. etc. My biggest tip is to ensure you are pursuing what it is you are passionate about as that’s the only way to truly become exceptional at what you are doing, and most importantly, to be happy doing it.  Passion, hard work, and dedication will get you there.  Good luck!

Who Do I Attract?

So, I have a lot of these asks in my inbox right now, and it’s not really an ask meme, it’s an entire area of astrology! I figured it’d be easiest to just make a post on what areas and ways you may attract certain signs or placements.

The placements here are likely to draw in people of certain signs or planetary dominants. Usually, it will attract the Suns, Risings and dominants of these signs. 

Below, in no particular order, are areas of your chart that may attract certain people or placements.

Your Moon Element will attract the same element and it’s pairing one. For example, a fire moon will attract fire and air moons. This is because your inner workings and feelings are understood by each other more so than typically incompatible elements, like water and air.

Your Rising Element will also attract the same element and it’s pairing one, but it may attract the Rising or Sun sign. For example, an earth rising will attract earth suns and/or risings. This is because your flow and ego is attractive to those who think and appear like you too, rather than those who are more reserved or wild than yourself.

Your Rising Sign is likely to attract, and in turn be drawn to, it’s sister sign. This can be in Sun, Rising or Dominance. This is because your ascendant is the opposite of your descendant, and this is the type of person we look for and admire. For example, Virgo Risings have Pisces Descendants, so are attracted/attractive to Pisces Suns, Risings and/or Dominance as the two act as a whole.

Stelliums which you may have will attract people of a certain sign. If you have a Stellium in a sign, such as Aries, you will attract Aries. This could be Aries Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mars, Fire or 1st house dominance. If you have a Stellium in a house, such as the 3rd house, you will attract Gemini. This could be Gemini Sun, Rising or Dominant. It may also attract Mercury, Air or 3rd house dominance. A list of possible sign and house stelliums and the placements they may attract is below. The people you attract may not be mathematically dominant in these ways, but they may be prominent in their chart, like in their Moon or Mars placements.

Aries/1st House Stellium: Aries, Mars, Sun, 1st House, Fire dominance

Taurus/2nd House Stellium: Taurus, Venus, Moon, 2nd House, Earth dominance

Gemini/3rd House Stellium: Gemini, Mercury, 3rd House, Air dominance

Cancer/4th House Stellium: Cancer, Moon, Jupiter, 4th House, Water dominance

Leo/5th House Stellium: Leo, Sun, 5th House, Fire dominance

Virgo/6th House Stellium: Virgo, Mercury, 6th House, Earth dominance

Libra/7th House Stellium: Libra, Venus, 7th House, Air dominance

Scorpio/8th House Stellium: Scorpio, Mars, Pluto, 8th House, Water dominance

Sagittarius/9th House Stellium: Sagittarius, Jupiter, 9th House, Fire dominance

Capricorn/10th House Stellium: Capricorn, Saturn, Mars, 10th House, Earth dominance

Aquarius/11th House Stellium: Aquarius, Uranus, Saturn, 11th House, Air dominance

Pisces/12th House Stellium: Neptune, Jupiter, Venus, Pisces, 12th House, Water dominance

Your Dominant Sign will also attract certain signs. For example, if you are Aquarius dominant, it is likely you attract air or fire Sun and Risings, as well as fellow air/fire dominants.

Your Dominant Planet will also attract certain signs as it is the energy dominant within you. A list is given below. The sign in capitals is the sign ruled by this planet, so it is the most likely to be drawn to you. The one in normal case is where this planet exalts, so whilst they are drawn to you, it is not as much as the first.

Sun dominant: LEO, Aries

Moon dominant: CANCER, Taurus

Mercury dominant: GEMINI, VIRGO

Venus dominant: TAURUS, LIBRA, Pisces

Mars dominant: ARIES, SCORPIO, Capricorn

Jupiter dominant: SAGITTARIUS, PISCES, Cancer

Saturn dominant: CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS, Libra

Uranus dominant: AQUARIUS, Scorpio

Neptune dominant: PISCES, Leo, Cancer (People debate whether Neptune exalts in Leo or Cancer - to keep peace I have written both)

Pluto dominant: SCORPIO, Pisces, Aries (People debate whether Pluto exalts in Pisces or Aries - to keep peace I have written both)

For example, someone with Jupiter dominant is likely to attract Sagittarius dominants. Or, equally, someone with Sagittarius dominant is likely to attract Jupiter dominants.

There are even more areas you could personally look, but referring to this list can give you a good idea. For example, if you have Scorpio Venus and Mars, you can tell from this you’re likely to attract Pluto dominants, Taurus Risings, and/or people with 8th house stelliums.

Your Midheaven can also work here for the first attraction! For example, I was instantly attracted to my boyfriend when I first saw him as he was a mystery to me, and as it turns out his Midheaven is the sister of mine. The basic rule for this first sight attraction would be like this:

Opposite signs: Mysterious, wanting to know more, seemingly the same yet different to you

Element match: Similar, you feel they are like you in some way

Compatible elements: You seem to appreciate them for who they appear to be, but know you are not one in the same

Midheaven ruled by same planet: You seem so different, but there is a similar energy within you

You can obviously attract and be attracted to any Midheaven, but these matches would stand out for the purposes of this post

Old Mother Redcap's "Faithful Friends" Spell

This spell is designed for people wanting to make new long-lasting friendships. This spell works in the same way as a love spell, by attracting people (in this instance, friends) toward you. Items needed: - A large jar or bottle - Red or pink taper candle - Honey - Sugar - Juniper berries - Pen and paper - Magnets - Photo of yourself Method: Place the honey, sugar and juniper berries into your large jar or bottle. Take your pen and paper and write down all the qualities you wish your new friends to have. For instance, “loyalty”, “honesty” etc. Cut out these words and wrap them up in the magnets. Whilst you put them in the jar, visualise yourself surrounded by a new group of friends. Lastly, fold up the photo of yourself and add it into the jar.  As the last step, inscribe your candle with words or sigils pertaining to friendship. Place the candle in the jar or bottle, with the bottom sitting directly into the honey and sugar. You may want to add more honey until it fills the top so the candle stays steady. Place the jar or bottle on a heat-proof dish and burn the candle every night for 3 nights.
