Alright, so today I wanted to figure out this whole Tumblr queue thing for talking about planet movements hitting the 12th house. Got tired of typing the same explanations over and over, ya know? Wanted something smoother.

Why Even Bother?

People kept asking about transits through the 12th house on my ask box – Neptune creeping in, Saturn doing its thing, Jupiter breezing through. Felt like I was repeating myself constantly. Needed a system. Some folks just get tangled up trying to interpret this stuff, it feels murky.

The Dumb Way I Started

First idea? Dumb. Real dumb. I thought, “Hey, maybe I’ll just pre-write a whole bunch of posts for each planet crossing my 12th house.” Opened up a blank draft, stared at it.

• Started listing planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury… okay.
• Tried to write a generic meaning for Mars in the 12th. It sucked. Felt stiff, robotic.
• Realized every transit hits differently depending on where it lands exactly. My generic Mars snippet? Useless.
• Deleted the whole thing. Waste of time.

Actually Hitting “Queue” Wrong

I knew Tumblr had a queue, right? Figured I could queue up daily mini-interpretations somehow. Played around in my dash settings.

• Set a schedule: “Post 1 thing about transits every day at 5 PM.” Easy peasy.
• Wrote my first little note for Venus entering the 12th: “Could feel kinda floaty, maybe dreamy crushes? Maybe just wanna be alone? Hard to tell.”
• Hit “Queue” instead of “Post”. Cool.
• Problem: Next day? My scheduled post pops up… about Venus. But what if Mars was actually transiting then? My queued Venus post made zero sense for that day. Felt stupid.

The Lightbulb Moment (Kinda Obvious)

Sat back, annoyed. Why wasn’t this working? Then it clicked: I wasn’t queuing templates. I was queuing finished posts about specific transits that might not even be happening! What I really needed were quick, flexible little phrases I could grab instantly when a transit was active. Needed building blocks, not whole houses.

Building My Little Phrase Box

Changed tack. Opened a new draft, just for myself this time. Didn’t plan to publish it. Started making a list of super short interpretations, key phrases. Focused purely on the 12th house vibe.

• For any planet: “Hidden stuff bubbling up? Pay attention to dreams maybe.”
• Energy planets (Mars/Sun): “Feeling drained? Might be fighting yourself.”
• Emotion planets (Moon/Venus): “Feeling sensitive? Need quiet time?”
• Social planets (Jupiter/Venus): “Strong pull to just disappear for a bit.”
• Heavy planets (Saturn/Pluto): “Old fears resurfacing? Sit with it.”

Kept it loose, simple words. No jargon. Important: Made these phrases neutral, not final interpretations. Just starting points.

How I Actually Use It Now

Okay, so say someone asks, or I see Neptune is wading through the 12th. Here’s the work flow:

1. Check what planet is moving (Neptune).
2. Quick look at my draft with my list of little phrases.
3. Grab something relevant: “Neptune here? Probably messing with your sense of reality a bit. Foggy feelings. Good for creative stuff, bad for big decisions?”
4. That is what I write as a new post. Maybe add one line specific to the asker if needed.
5. Then I can hit “Queue” if I want it to pop later, or post it right away.

The magic is that draft with the little phrases. My personal cheat sheet. Lets me respond super fast without freezing up trying to think of something “deep” on the spot.

Dumb But Useful Bonus

Found myself re-reading my own little phrase list later. Weirdly helpful for me too! Like reminding myself what the 12th house does when planets visit. Sticky notes for my brain, almost.

It’s not perfect, obviously. Still gotta think a little about the planet involved. But man, having those little go-to phrases ready? Huge time saver. Makes talking about this confusing house way less of a headache.
