‘The evils of racism and, much later, sexism, were easier to identify and challenge than the evils of classism.We live in a society where the poor have no public voice. No wonder it has taken so long for many citizens to recognize class—to become class conscious.’

i’m a marxist feminist not a radical feminist, for the most part. radical feminists tend to view men as the common oppressor, whereas marxist feminists focus more on capitalism and the ruling class as the common oppressor. I fit in pretty well with radical feminist politics, but I center my political analysis on how capitalist society creates social caste systems in order to exploit labor.

Like the Italian feminists said, all the so-called productivity of the social world depends on housework and the nurturing, comforting labor of the home. As one of those Italian revolutionaries that I met at that retreat with my ex— that time we blew off grad school for a semester to work on the women’s collective farm in the hills outside Assisi—was fond of saying, in production, the exchange-value of labor-power as capacity for production is produced and its use-value consumed; in reproduction, the use-value of labor-power is produced and its-exchange value is consumed.
What this means, quite simply, is that reproduction (i.e. housework/love/making the space of the home a nurturing environment) and production aren’t exactly equivalent versions of one another. In the workplace, you generate the exchange-value of the commodity (its exchangeability in circulation), and you use up the labor of the worker (his “use-value”). In the home, it’s kind of the opposite: the home produces the use-value of the worker. It feeds, nourishes, clothes, nurtures his body to work another day, and it consumes (uses up) the exchange-value of his labor—the wage which the family uses to buy food, commodities, goods.
As you know, Marx pointed out that the abode of production is “hidden” by the gleam of the commodity. When we see objects on shelves for sale, we don’t see the labor that went into them. You could buy a coffee mug, take it home, smash it with a hammer and inspect its shards under a microscope, but there’s no way to have access to the labor that went into making it. All you’ll have is little bits of mug. You just can’t see the processes of production, no matter how hard you look at a commodity. So, the abode of production is “hidden,” and the work of Capital is to expose the relationship between this abode and the veil of circulation.
But the labor that went into the making of that mug—say, the assembly-line labor that is hidden within its commodified veneer—is, itself, the product of another form of labor: that of the home. Just like you can’t see the factory labor that went into making your mug, when the worker sells his labor power on the market, you don’t see everything that went into producing that particular commodity (his labor)—the one that he exchanges for a wage. That “everything” includes the labor of the home, the gendered labor of housework and love. The home is in this way integral to the process of production, although it is hidden within its folds. Invaginated, you could say. The moral of this story is that there is another “hidden abode,” in addition to Marx’s more well-known hidden abode of production.
So then: the home is a hiddener abode?Jord/ana Rosenberg, “Becoming Hole (The Hiddener Abode),” World Picture 3 (x)

This is how I relate to the aspects in my chart:
Conjunction: These two planets are one in the same, they’re conjoined twins, you can’t feel one without considering the other. They’re wrapped and bound together like a package deal. They color each other, turning one another into something other than what they started out as.
Sextile: These two planets are partners in crime. They live in different places but call each other all the time, constantly influencing each other. Their close friendship impacts their behavior, even if they play out in different areas of life. They’re each other’s cheerleaders and accomplices, they empower each other.
Trine: These two planets are friendly neighbors or relatives. The bond is always there but they don’t always make use of it, they can go over and visit and they’re on the same wavelength. Their long-standing relationship generally enhances their lives, even if it sometimes feels like its in the background.
Square: These two planets are intimate lovers, passionate in their affairs with one another, bound together in some ways, but not always getting along. They can often create havoc and chaos for one another, but ultimately their relationship is a defining feature of their lives, and they’re stronger together than apart. They just have to learn to work through their issues first.
Opposition: These two planets watch each other from afar. They understand each other, but don’t need to communicate with words. They share common goals, but may have different means to achieving them. Sometimes they get a little worried that one’s behavior will thwart the other’s plans, so they must watch each other closely, keeping everything in balance so that they may both be satisfied.
Inconjunction/Quincunx: These two planets are dual sides of a split-personality. They only show one face at a time, and each one denies the existence of the other. They try to push you in different directions, they ask for conflicting things, both showing you how important their demands are. It seems that if you listen to one, the other one will suffer. In this way they impact each other, and peace can only come when they acknowledge the other’s existence and influence.
Lilith exists in our chart in three ways. They are Black Moon Lilith, Asteroid Lilith, and Dark Moon Lilith.
- Black Moon Lilith: Represents sex, seduction, obsession, addiction, psychic ability, and psychedelic drugs.
- Asteroid Lilith: Represents rebellion, confrontation, impulses, banishment, and instincts.
- Dark Moon Lilith: Represents demons, nightmares, revenge, sadism, wrath, and pain.
Natal chart: This is the most common birth chart used in astrology. You put in your birth date, where you were born, and time of birth to create a precise chart of where each planet was in the sky when you were born. These placements give an outlook on your personality and who you are or could be. There is also Vedic (eastern) and tropical (western) versions of a natal chart which are both widely used.
Draconic chart: Unlike the natal chart, the Draconic is about where you are headed. Draconic focuses on the north node which is all about your fate in life. It is also focuses on the soul, whether you believe in it or not. This chart shows your soul that lies deep within your outward personality.
Progressed chart: This chart is about the now. It shows the movements of each planet since you were born and the journey you have taken since you were born. Once a planet has moved into a different sign, it marks a change in your life, whether it be romantically, emotionally, or mentally. Your natal chart influences your general personality, but your progressed chart influences who you are in the now.
Synastry chart: This chart takes two people’s natal and combines them to create a chart that shows a couple’s compatibility. With this chart, you can see where a relationship could go and how the couple would work together in different situations.
