My best friend did say I'm like a mix between a cat and a hamster (because I only love her when I'm fed, and sharing my food is almost impossible), but I feel like I'm more of a red panda! Loves books: Red pandas are curious and intelligent Cuddly: Their fluffy fur and round shape make them look extra huggable (Sadly I don't have a lot of fur) Sleeps a lot: Red pandas are known for their long naps, often lounging in trees (trees hardly seem comfy, but blankies are) Loses interest quickly Loves food

I’m really sorry you're feeling this way, but I’m so proud of you for being there for your friend even while you're going through all of this. It's a lot to carry on your own. It sounds like you’re juggling a lot of emotions—your own struggles with your period, the unresolved feelings from the past, and trying to support someone you care about who is hurting too. It’s okay to not have all the answers or be able to fix everything, especially when you're emotionally drained yourself. You don’t have to have it all figured out. The fact that you're so aware of your friend and trying to take care of them shows how much you care. But remember, you also need to take care of yourself. You deserve comfort and peace, too, just like anyone else. The past you’re holding onto hurts—it’s understandable that they’re hard to let go of. Healing isn’t linear, and sometimes the anger lingers longer than we expect, especially when we feel betrayed. You’re not weak for not forgiving yet. It takes time, and it's okay to be angry. But don't be too hard on yourself, because you’re already doing the work to move forward. As for the thought of self-isolating, I totally get it. But just know that you don’t have to carry everything alone. If it feels like too much right now, it's okay to reach out to someone or just give yourself permission to take a break and just breathe. About the fear of people leaving you—it’s such a tough feeling. But the truth is, the right people, the ones who truly care about you, won’t leave you when you need them most. You deserve support and care, too, and I hope you can allow yourself to ask for it when you need it. You're worthy of being cared for, just as much as anyone else. Please keep in mind, we're here when you need to talk about something.💖 Best wishes! -
I would imagine Australia is neither harder or easier than anywhere else.

Birthday blues....
MasterPhotog replied to Baby Girl Miss Amanda's topic in The Lighthouse Circle - TLC's Topics
Baby Girl Miss Amanda, First, happy belated birthday! I wish you many more years of good health. It can be tough getting older when it feels like no one remembers or cares about your special day. I don’t really celebrate my birthday either, and most people forget it, but I believe we all deserve to be wished a happy birthday by by at least those who are close to us. It’s really hurtful that your mom and brothers didn’t remember your birthday. Your feelings are completely valid, and definitely not silly or selfish. I can see how much it hurts to feel forgotten, and I totally understand that. You deserve to be celebrated. I’m glad you got to enjoy some joyful moments with the kids and your daughter, as they brought some light to your day with their excitement and thoughtful gifts. It’s disappointing when the people who should notice don’t. But it’s also clear that you’re surrounded by love in unexpected ways—like your daughter’s sweet gift and the celebration with the people who truly care about you. You’re not alone in feeling overlooked, especially when it feels like everyone expects so much from you. I hope, over time, you can find a way to focus on yourself a bit more, whether by connecting with others who lift you up or allowing yourself to be celebrated. You truly deserve that. 💜 Taking care of yourself, eating well, and sleeping enough are always important. Please try your best to keep doing these things as much as you can. -

What? In the land of Drop-Bears, Sheilas and Hoop- Snakes there are no littles?? I can't believe that. I would suggest be patient and continue to search, but be open to LDR with littles you connect with online. Test the waters, talk and get to know what you like/dislike. I discovered for myself, that although the idea of a 24/7 little lifestyle sounded like something I would enjoy, when I actually tried it with a little online, I surprisingly found it was a little annoying for me. I never got to know the little as a person and we started talking less and less. To each his own. What I'm saying is that you can discover a lot about yourself online, way before it becomes in person. And then, imagine the great experience you'll both have! Also, you never know. You might find a special little online you really connect with and who wouldn't mind relocating? Australia's a great place! It happens. I know a "little" friend that moved to England from the US to relocate to her new Daddy. Keep up the hope, try new things and don't give up.

Hi Crimson, I am not from Aus, but I would say it can be challenging to be in this space, but the good thing about it is we are in a community that is recognized globally meaning that you don't have to be restricted geographically. Maybe you can start with a little one online long distance and then as time goes by discuss about meeting each other and eventually one of you move. I mean this can be an option. It can be hard but communication is very very important.

I think that is awesome!! I have encountered learning-focused decks before and they do make the interpretations easier. I have also found that the best Tarot Decks will rely on images and pictures to show you the meaning. In fact, the very first Tarot Deck used for divination (Tarot de Marseilles 1700's) had simple pictures an illiterate public could use. It became complicated as self-appointed gurus tried to create more mystery from them with complicated explanations. The basics are the best! For interpretations, go with what you see and feel. Tarot is an Art, and everyone interprets them differently, like a story. Just tell it like you see it and let the cards guide the next part of it. Have fun and enjoy it. I have also heard about the 'gift-giving' tarot rumor. It sounds nice, like waiting for the Universe to speak to you, but there's no truth in it. If a Tarot Deck calls to you - That is the Universe speaking! Just pick up the phone and answer the call.

Feb 28, 2025 The Grand Parade of Planets and what it means astrologically
WizardofOSS posted a topic in Witches's Astrology
This Friday evening, look to the South of due West just at sunset (No more than 1 hour after sunset!!), and you'll see the grand planetary alignment of planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune (Use a Telescope for the last 2). I was wondering what this means astrologically? So here's some good information from https://astrostyle.com/2025-planetary-alignment-planet-parade-astrology/. Here goes.... MERCURY Planet No. 1 in the planetary alignment Mercury is the the messenger planet, directing the ways we think, communicate and share information. Mercury enters Pisces on Valentine’s Day 2025 (where it stays until March 3). In this sign, Mercury cranks the volume on your intuition, and you could download all sorts of divine inspiration. Your subconscious will be buzzing, especially after dark, during this transit. Make time for candlelight meditations, sound baths and any activities that relax your mind so you can receive messages and insight. Mercury is of course well known for Mercury retrograde. But don’t worry, the first Mercury retrograde of 2025 doesn’t begin until March 15! Don’t rush to share them all though! Mercury in Pisces can drive up ambiguity. VENUS Planet No. 2 in the planetary alignment Venus is the planet of love, beauty and harmony. This planet sets the stage for romance and indulges in Cupid’s offerings liberally. Vixen Venus vaulted into Aries on February 4, igniting a passionate pre-spring awakening. During the free-flowing Venus in Aries transit, it might feel more like “uncuffing season,” which could make relationships feel too close for comfort. Impulse control may be scarce, but as a rule, zip and unzip judiciously. Rash behaviors and decisions can come back to haunt you. A little impulse control will go a long way because love is lit during this longer-than-usual cycle…because it comes with a loophole: Venus retrograde. This six-week backspin begins (in Aries) on March 1, and could tamp down some of the bold, impulsive energy that’s signature for this sign’s hosting of the love planet. MARS Planet No. 3 in the planetary alignment Mars governs passion and sex drive. With its blood red color and raging dust storms, it is little wonder that Mars is also the planet associated with anger and combat. Mars began 2025 retrograde in Leo, where it started chilling out on December 6. It moved (still retrograde) into Cancer on January 6. The Mars retrograde in Cancer will make life frustrating until February 23. On that day the small-but-mighty planet moves forward (direct, as we astrologers say) and the frenetic energy should subside. For the final stretch of winter, set up the craft table and mix up some craft cocktails, as you get into the spirit of cold-weather communing. Vanquish the tension under your roof by decluttering, redecorating and making sure everyone has enough space to do their thing. The red planet’s motivational influence may inspire a home-based business or a pre-spring fitness challenge with roommates and relatives. If cabin fever has fanned the flames of conflict, here’s your cue to escape to the slopes for a weekend, or maybe the beach! JUPITER Planet No. 4 in the planetary alignment Jupiter is the big daddy of the solar system. In astrology, Jupiter inspires us to grow, expand and take risks. Jupiter ended a five-month retrograde in Gemini on February 4! The Jupiter Gemini transit began in May 2024 and lasts until June 9, 2025. While Jupiter is in fast-talking Gemini, ideas and intellect become reigning cosmic currency. Now that the Jupiter retrograde is over, don’t be shy about striking up conversations! Tag-team efforts are blessed with the mighty planet’s powers. This is your cosmic cue to think big and assert yourself boldly (well, once you have all the facts). Jupiter in Gemini can amplify your voice and help you reach a global crowd. Jupiter moves into Cancer on June 9, 2025. It will be big-hearted, philosophical Jupiter’s first sail on nurturing Cancer’s emotion ocean since 2014! As the red-spotted planet sounds a global call for empathy, expect kindness and compassion to be en vogue again. SATURN Planet No. 5 in the planetary alignment Saturn is the karma police, the whistle-blowing taskmaster of the skies. In astrology, Saturn governs time and the wisdom and expertise that comes from slow, steady and structured growth. Saturn spends three years in a zodiac sign and has been melting reality in Pisces since 2023. Saturn in Pisces. Stoic Saturn won’t fall back into a ditch (retrograde) until July 13, 2025. While Saturn is direct and the mature planet is humming along in sensitive Pisces, it’s opened a powerful window for you to explore your faith and heal from past triggers and traumas. It’s heavy stuff, but think of it this way: when your world is in order, it’s a whole lot easier to navigate the external world. That’s the beauty of the Saturn in Pisces transit (which lasts until February 2026). URANUS Planet No. 6 in the planetary alignment Uranus is the eureka! planet. It governs the zodiac sign Aquarius, under which Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, was born. In astrology, radical and metaphysical Uranus is the planet that rules our higher minds. Uranus retrograde ended on January 30, in sensible Taurus. Uranus is in direct motion until September 6, 2025, giving us full access to its innovative, electrifying, future-forward energy. Uranus takes 84 years to cycle through the entire zodiac, hanging out in each sign’s “airspace” for approximately seven years. Whichever sign Uranus is orbiting through gives the planet its focus. Here is where we see innovation, chaos and massive societal changes. The Uranus in Taurus cycle began in 2018 and officially wraps on April 25, 2025. This year, we get a sneak peek of the 2026–2033 Uranus in Gemini transit, when the side-spinning planet slips into the air sign from July 7 to November 7! NEPTUNE Planet No. 7 in the planetary alignment Neptune is brrrrrr! Icy Neptune is the last of the gas giants in our solar system. In astrology, Neptune rules all that lies below the surface—and the watery flow of creativity. Neptune brings each sign periods of heightened imagination, creativity and intuition. Its lengthy 14-year stays in each sign allow you to plan for spiritual and creative growth and to draw from the deep well of your psyche. The current Neptune transit, Neptune in Pisces, began in 2011 and wraps up in 2026! Neptune crawled out of a lengthy retrograde at the end of 2024 and is direct in Pisces until its next retrograde, from July 4 to October 22, 2025. But here’s where things get interesting! Neptune will split its time between two signs—Aries and Pisces this year! For the first time since 1862 to 1875, the celestial soothsayer swings into the Ram’s realm. While this only lasts from March 30 to October 22, 2025, a longer, 13-year cycle of Neptune in Aries picks up again in January 2026 until March 2039! -

I don't believe there are hard and fast rules about what a given label or classification means in terms of what one likes or feels. There are a lot of things I like and enjoy that are probably more typically associated with being little, but I am in no way a little. I think (and I'm fully prepared that I could be 100% wrong) that there is more associated with pet names like "baby girl" than a DDLG dynamic. There's also a kind of deep-seated declaration of affection and devotion that it communicates. All that being said, it's also possible that maybe you do want to experiment with submission. Trying to put myself in your place, I don't think that this is the sort of thing that I'd go charging into just to answer the question, but rather something to be aware of; I'd pay close attention to the effect words and actions have one me and form a holistic opinion from there. I hope that was, in some way, helpful to you.

@beanbean thank you for your kind words and thoughtfulness as well as input. It's so important to me to hear from other Dom's who can help me understand what I am experiencing Thank you again

@SoulEater thank you for being so kind. When I first wrote on this topic I felt alone, as if something was wrong with me. I have never had these thoughts before and it kind of made me feel indifferent about myself. Wondering am I being true to myself? It brought a lot of self doubt of actually being a Dom. I can't say I'm a classic Dom, because I'm not strict by any means, so it still leaves questions to ponder on. Thank you again for writing and being so kind to me
