What a great laugh, Eva. And here is my early Jupt and other Gemini idea: It's brilliant! Listen: You'll make a million dollars if you compile a book of Create Your Own Adventure. Each chapter or section can be a conspiracy theory set up for readers to fill-in-the-blank and get a great laugh. Or, you can rake it in with making a series base on compiling conspiracy theories related to same topics into each book/booklet. Hurry, Eva, hurry!

Good idea -- or I could make paywalled Substack posts of that nature. I have not quite found the right incentive for paid subscribers on Substack yet, but something like this could be it.

I wasn't expecting to open an astrology full moon article and be hit with Tartarian Conspiracy theories and cabbage patch kids. Brilliant 😂 seriously though have you watched some of those cabbage patch videos 👀

I hadn't seen any of the cabbage patch videos until one came up when I was looking for an image to include in the article last night. Oh, no, not another rabbit hole!

I enjoyed this so much! I love a good rabbit hole now and then (well, frequently), but what you wrote is spot on. Jupiter making his truthiness soup in Gemini... I'll call it the Tartaria recipe from now on!

Good call on truthiness. I looked up when Stephen Colbert popularized the term -- 2005, according to Merriam-Webster, and Jupiter was in fellow air sign Libra for most of that year.

Wikipedia gives an exact date for Colbert airing the term truthiness: Oct. 17, 2005, Sun conjunct Jupiter late Libra.
