its kind of hard to do casually it's complicated. If you want a really lazy thing:
1. go to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/birth-chart-horoscope-online
2. put in date of birth, time, and birth city (don't bother if you don't have the exact time)
3. save the page as a pdf
4. put it in claude or some ai thing
5. ask the most significant parts of your chart

the reason they had particular astrologers do readings is just because it's fairly complex. Things like sun sign being all people talk about is basically useless IMO (historically they would have used the ascendent as the "sign" when someone asked)
if anyone wants to post their chart from this I can give a quick reading (just enter it on astro-seek then click the button that says Hide birth data under the chart)

succubi being the ones into it is largely a product of it being hijacked by new-agers in the 19th century, they are basically just so fucking retarded and wrong they aren't even worth talking about. As I said above anyone saying just their sun sign is just totally out of touch.
Only in the past couple decades have we started translating the classical greek/medieval texts and that more traditional form has gotten much more popular. It's also basically all men doing the translations and that wrote those thousands of years ago.

One thing I always wanted to know, does astrology also influence animal personalities based on when they are born, or only humans? Why or why not?

It's just kinda weird to think that one planet being more to the left or more to the right when I was born influences whether I grow up introverted or extroverted.

I've been studying astrology for a year now, focusing on horary astrology. The problem is that I don't have anywhere to practice. I was thinking about using this thread, but I don't think it would be the right use.

There are people who try to use it with sport events.
I tried it, but it is the most boring thing to with my time.

>Are any wizards interested in astrology?
how can i get into it? I'm interested in it but i do not know where to start.

Playing cards are almost like a video game console. There are thousands of single and multiplayer games you can play with one deck. More if you have two or four. You can invent your own games, throw in dice or coins or whatever complex mechanics you can dream up. I enjoy playing different variants of solitaire. You can turn on music or the TV in the background if needed.

tbf you could probably do running competitions, archery, javelin throws, etc in the hippodrome

I have flatest feet possible, so much it is now ruins my knees. But back when I attempted sports, I bought soft yet bouncy insoles that were tremendously helpful.

I'd count drawing if you go for digital, get a tablet and a stylus, and then you're good to go! Even cheaper ones work well, I use a cheap used tablet and a capacitive stylus.

You can buy a cards and learn how to play

where do you live now?

so between locked dumpsters and people video taping their dumpsters, how do you attempt this? I suppose if you're homeless you no longer care about being arrested.

>>70260
Just a regular flat, it's humble and does the job, close to work as well so it suits my lifestyle well.

>>70261
Just find the ones that are ideal. Never dealt with any police or guards so I'm not sure what would happen, I'd assume they would just move you along. Lots of places have dumpsters just behind the back and aren't locked or secured. I didn't ever break any locks or enter property I wasn't supposed to, I believe that's where the trouble can start

>>70263
good, im glad you have a roof

>>70261
Apartments if you need thrift shop grade stuff. Just take a quick peek and see if anything neat is on top - walk out of the complex on foot so people just assume you live there as you walk away and snagged a wicker chair or PC or whatever.

ok, we're done

They of purple aura? Or is aura more so pink? And black, or transparent?

My life is Dungeons And Dragons; I decided years ago to start playing DAD 24/7, only never stopping.

Red plus pink plus blue is root chakra for brains. They consumed by sexuality for consciousness.
Or red plus blue, alone.
And black and transparent both mean they -1.

As a newcomer to this medium of entertainment, I am enjoying playing Four Against Darkness with dry-erase markers and a white board. I might have to start collecting RPGs.

Hello again anon! It's been a year, how are things going in your game? Still playing with that GM and that other guy?

>I spend most of the week despising it
>Then it's gaming night and all is forgiven. I have a great time, I get to talk with other human beings I don't actively despise
>Then it's the next day and nausea returns
I have started my campaign again and as the GM, I've been having the opposite reaction. I enjoy preparing the game during the week, stocking the dungeons and moving the gears of the world, but on game night I can feel my tank emptying in real-time, and by the end, I tend to be slightly dissatisfied. The players are engaged and definitely seem to enjoy the whole thing, and I think I've found a pretty good risk/reward balance that makes the game meaningful. So I don't know what else I'd want really, yet I usually get more fun preparing the game than actually running it. After the game, I spend the rest of the evening being negative and mulling over minor things that could have gone more smoothly, not feeling the raw satisfaction you'd expect, or being excited about what the players did in the game.
But then, on the following days, I get motivated again and enjoy devising new things for the players.

I like the game but I can't play it.
What I mean is that I suck, and I don't get any better however much I play or try to read go books. I do enjoy it but I also feel tense as I have to keep myself from making impulse moves and think my moves, but reading different variations gets very taxing and I end up making a mess..
I like the fights, though. I like breaking into a seemingly safe territory and living.

so wizzies did you try learning go?

>>69349
Few years ago. Watched a anime about it and got curious. Learned a bit more about the rules and basic strategy then played online a bit. Found it kind of boring and full games tedious so just stopped.

At this point I am pretty sure I forgot all the strategies I learned and most of the rules.
Also never played once in real life or even knew another person in real life who knew how to play it.
With chess it was mainly a way of bonding between my father and me, so it will always have that connection even though I have fallen out with the game. But with Go there is zero connection for me in my personal life. No strong memories.

>>69350
I see, I want to learn chess and go too

>>65914
I hated Chess so much
>>69349
I'm going to try purchasing a set if it's cheap

I was reading Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor.

What's the wizzies consensus on Revered Insanity? Kino or thrash?

It really is quite slow. On one hand it's good since it feels more grounded and we get a bigger sense of community compared to bigger imageboards, on the other hand sometimes it's a bit… too slow, like things never pick up a proper pace with the exception of a few boards and/or threads. I personally love it here, but not as my main imageboard, I prefer the pace of something like the slower 4chan boards, slow enough for it to not be overwhelming, fast enough for things to actually get somewhere more often too.

lol

It's one of my only vices. The complexity and the "lawyer game"isms are addicting.
I think newcomers are so frequently repulsed by their expectations rather than the (modern) game itself. I'd describe it thusly:
There are two roles, the unmovable object (1st turn player), and the unstoppable force (2nd turn player). Your deck will be optimized to fulfill one of these roles, to an extent unlike any other card available, like a well oiled machine.
I like to visualize duels as two great kingdoms at total war readying their forces for a single decisive battle, rather than the gradual, drawn out conflicts seen in games like magic

I finished playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories on GBC. I love the simplicity in its structure and rules, and the artwork is stunning! I recommend it to any fan of the IP, especially those that prefer the classic stuff, shorter turns, and Duelist Kingdom styled rules, it's fantastic.

Yesterday, I was reading an article that forwards this answer:
>The philosophy is thus established as an art of existence to learn, precisely, how to live.
This makes me think that everybody can do philosophy because it is a way to face our everyday issues.
>if you're a brainlet you need everything be told by others
See above, I said "do philosophy", not "learn philosophy". I did this because I think the value of philosophy is not in what we are thaught, but in how we reflect.
The value is in the processing we do that then creates a change in how we face life. Note, that, if you take it this way, it doesn't really matter if you agree with the big shots like Plato or some Harvard PHd.
The same article then continues:
>It is, again following Hadot, a way of existence characterized by three fundamental aspects: spiritual peace (ataraxia), inner freedom (autarkeia), and cosmic consciousness (megalopsuchia) or the awareness of belonging to the entire human community.

Updated version. I'd happily answer your questions about it.

The purpose of life is to enjoy it as much as you can. Most people have children because it's what everyone else does.

Who are the most recent popular philosophers and what are they saying?

In common speech volition is seen as the same as Will. Yet it is inside the Representation circle, which is itself inside the Will circle.

And frankly, the 1960s Mini Cooper outmaneuvring French police was cool to watch

>>65514
these look interesting
many websites

watched matasaburo the wind (1940), it's from a short story, Its comfy

The general opinion that I have read is that 2049 is a better movie with a better story. That the first one just looks good but it is slow and the story isn't that good.

Did you watch Avatar Fire and Ash already? Did you like it?

I need the coin with the Jersey flag to complete my gibraltar Charlemagne collection, don't know which coins I'd like to collect next

Sorry, I was taking a break from Wizchan for the past couple of months to focus on other priorities.

I used to enjoy penny hunting too. I would always run a magnet over the rolls first and then open any that were magnetic and take out the 1943 cents, then go through the rest. I mostly got mine through coin dealers instead of banks, so it was mostly wheat pennies with some Indian heads mixed in.

Washington has not changed as far as I can tell, but I believe that they are using a new die. Probably changed out the die for the "Crossing the Delaware" quarter. They should have stuck with Washington themed quarters, kind of like the Life of Lincoln pennies from 2009. Unfortunately, I do not see these sort of special series in common denominations returning aside from the succubi of color quarters, which, as far as I can tell, nobody really likes.

Personally, I would change the dime, though. I prefer Mercury to FDR (I have the gold Mercury dime from a while ago), so I would like to see a return to that, but if it had to be a president, then Theodore Roosevelt or Ulysses S. Grant would be my choices and would give some good opportunities for different reverses (early life, military careers, etc.).

I wish you the best of luck in finding a job. I won big on scratch-offs, so I am pretty okay, despite also not having a job at the moment. My last job I quit after 11 months because it was off the book and paid comically low. I usually do well with off the book jobs (usually $20-30k/year with no taxes), this job was $1200/year because the boss kept charging "expenses" (it would have been $30k, but the boss took 97% of it away and gave me a list of bullshit reasons). What you get when you work off the book, so I cannot be upset (though I did work over 4000 hours for the money, which works out to be a little under $0.30/hour).

I guess I could sell all my bullion and coins and be able to live for a few years on it, but I would rather wait a little bit longer before then.

Got a job across the country years ago and was interesting to see the different mint marks. never seen many S marks east of the rockies. ended up finding
>4 war nickles
>1 steel penny
>handful of silver dimes
>$2 in silver quarters
>3 40% half dollars
at the time, 2019, i figured the odds of finding silver quarters in rolls was at least 1:10,000. the steel penny was the coolest though. always heard of them but never seen one in the wild

Krugerrands are very nice, they're cheaper than U.S or Canadian and they're very recognized, also they're an alloy so they're scratch resistant

silver is escaping orbit presently
