The moon in a natal chart represents how we nurture, how we want to be nurtured, our habits and our receptivity.
If you’re feeling tense, anxious or in need of self care and nurturing, look to your moon sign for some help as to how you can take better care of your emotional well being.

Commission - Based off descriptions from a fanfic. In the anime, the original amazon quartet have leggings, in the manga they don’t. Here are two versions of each, and if I commissioned for the rest of the sailors, they too will have both versions. Chibi-usa was the first commission, and I did my own version as well - it’s an interesting character design challenge! I’ll be doing my own version of Amazoness ami as well ;)
From Greek mythology, Circe is a goddess of magic. Her lineage is disputed, but she is typically seen as the daughter of Helios, the Titan of the sun, and Perse, an Oceanid nymph. She is associated with sorcery, witchcraft, and is one of the most recognizable enchantresses of Greek mythology. Circe was known for her advanced knowledge of tinctures, poisons, and herbs, but was most popularized by her unrelenting transformation of her enemies into wild beasts through the use of her wand/staff.
Most of us encounter her first through Homer’s Odyssey. Circe lives on the island Aeaea in a grand mansion surrounded by various beasts. Odysseus’ crew goes ashore, eats her food and drinks her wine, and are all transformed into the swine they probably are (the original #menarepigs). Odysseus manages to rescue his men with divine help, but remains on her island for another year or so. Some accounts say that Circe bore Odysseus three children, but that is all in addendum to the Odyssey.
The story of Circe and her role in the transformation of Odysseus’ crew has been debated since its inception. Some claim her story was to warn people against the dangers of drunkenness. Others see her archetype as a strong and capable sorceress as a danger to men, as she is a sexually free and independent woman. Either way, it has been noted that her own metamorphosis from a character in the Odyssey to a powerful literary figure in her own right is perhaps the most bewitching of transformations.
Her captivating quality and timeless enchantment is best illustrated by the first three images, which are a series by Pre-Raphaelite fanboy and personal favorite John William Waterhouse. I’m only making note of this because her hypnotic nature drove Waterhouse to return to her again and again.
