*+-In the room (the message board I run) we are talking about LOVE — no surprise there. Someone has a primary relationship but feelings/attraction for someone else. There is an agreement with the primary partner that dalliances are okay as long as they don’t threaten the main thing. But is […]
12th House
*+-Promised myself I’d blog about Kevin the firefighter, Las Vegas native (well, almost), who was sitting to my left on the flight down. He was helpful – putting up his armrest when I needed more room (I was in the middle seat), talking to me when I started feeling loony […]
*+-It is a cliche and possibly even a patronizing one to think of those “less fortunate” than you (however you define that) when you are feeling self-pity. The Sun IS still in Pisces and feeling sorry for oneself is “lower vibration” Neptunian activity. The martyr, the victim. And yet, such […]
*+-Do you follow the Sun? An awesome chica in MoonPlutoLand (and wow tomorrow is the LAST day of our 30-day class whew!) started a thread about how she feels right before Virgo Season. She has Virgo Rising so during the summer, her Sun is in the hidden, secretive, isolated, sometimes […]
*+-I don’t know what’s come over me. I am seriously searching for “answers” to the mysteries of life (or at least some more clues) and it could be a transit that is causing this but does it matter? It’s what IS for me now. I haven’t looked at my chart […]
Some weeks ago I introduced my Mars in Virgo (Direct!) Challenge: how’s it going? Did you start something new? Or leave something behind/quit? I quit smoking. Click here for the link! to the original post *** I’ve been writing about the 6th House/12th House axis lately, and I realize it matters […]
*+-I finally got enough sleep last night and I finally realized part of the problem — the weather changed dramatically this week and I needed to turn the air conditioning on. And it wasn’t the heat — it was the humidity 🙂 I’m that sensitive to temperature change. Also, the […]
*+-Afflictions, anxiety, asylums. Large animals… Ah the 12th House! 12th House people will hurt themselves until they know/learn better. I’ve got my Venus here. Suicide, suffering, sorrow… And Black Moon Lillith. Solitude, sleep, slavery… And South Node. Self-injury, self-undoing, self-examination… And Vesta conjunct my ascendent so go ahead count her in […]
*+-Sometimes the Tarot shows us not where we’re at, but what we want. It’s tricky like that. I can pull a card and think “Oh, it’s coming! On the way!” But no — sometimes it’s just the dream. The Sun is still in Pisces. It’s still dream time. We’re reaching […]
*+-Our bodies get tired. Our spirits don’t. This was an interesting point mentioned by my meditation teacher last night. Interesting, on one level, because I sometimes feel spirit-tired but I trust my teacher and the text he was reading from so am giving this idea some thought. The body ages, […]
*+- I’m a 12th House girl. Not an 8th House girl so I speak from experience and observation. And I’m starting to feel like George Carlin and his football vs baseball routine: Said in macho voice: In football you wear a helmet. Said in sweet voice: In baseball you wear a […]
*+-I have a Taurus friend with Venus in Aries and yes I would say her love nature is ardent to say the least and she likes what she likes, but isn’t that true for us all? Or, if not all, then many? Venus in Aries is not a bad Venus. […]
*+-So I was on the subway today… reading an Astrology book and thinking about the 12th House and Venus who is currently swimming through the sign of Pisces, the fish! Now the 12th House rules confinement (prisons, for example, physical or psychological) AND the 12th House rules escape. THUS, you […]
*+-Sensitive people get a bad rap. Or, at least, they used to. I know I did. All my life, growing up: “You’re too sensitive!” And I was, I was. But that’s what Saturn is for, right? To give the Cancer some Capricorn balancing, some ground, some inner Authority instead of […]
*+-I do not remember all the Laws and Rituals of Mourning according to Jewish Law. Not surprising. I’m no longer religious and more of a D.I.Y. type but *I think* for a grandparent one mourns a shorter amount of time than for a parent or a spouse, for example. I […]
*+-And one more thought on the Full Moon in Pisces, although there may be more. Silence. Talking about silence because the 12th House is Pisces natural house and 12th House people tend to need… to disappear. I have Venus in the 12th House and I need a lot of silence. […]
*+-Mercury opposition Neptune calls up the Virgo/Pisces axis (and themes) in general. “Calls up” is a fine figure of speech in this case since we are talking about Mercury the messenger! And think of it like a phone call, okay? Mercury and Neptune are, will be, calling each other. Call […]
*+-I’m currently obsessed with this movie. It’s a minor obsession. It’ll pass. But I’ll likely watch it one more time before I send it back to Netflix, making a grand total of three viewings. I guess for some of you that wouldn’t equal obsession, but more than once, for a […]
*+-I hate being in a body. I hate it. And I don’t think I’ll ever make peace with it. That’s today’s mood anyway 😉 And I know it’s not PC to say so. We’re suppose to luuuuuuuv our bodies, love ourselves, especially as women, find self acceptance and bash that […]
*+-This is a continuation of the previous post and inspired by some of the reader comments. Astrologers pretty much say that the 12th House is debilitated, the dustbin of the zodiac, and I respect history, I respect the astrologers. My Cancer Sun sextiles my Saturn in Taurus: respect, protect, the […]
*+-I wasn’t going to blog this morning (no time), but I then I tweeted something and realized I wanted to say more. About the elusive 12th House Venus which isn’t really elusive at all because when you meet these folks you can feel it. At least, I can feel it. […]
*+-I think I will always love the Velvet Underground more than any other band. Although I will say that about other bands, depending on my mood 🙂 But when I hear VU, I remember surviving THE BUS. Meaning, the bus ride home, in high school. We had Walkmans then. Cassette […]
*+-Did you know that Larry David has his Sun in Cancer? Last night I couldn’t blog (computer problems), and I missed it, but the truth is that it was good to have a day off. No blogging, no tweeting, no hypocondriacal googling, no Curb Your Enthusiasm. So now I’m back and ready […]
*+-I lose myself in love. Completely. I’m also aware that I have other Neptune problems and my Venus in Pisces in the 12th House only makes it worse. Help! I’m drowning! Dear Drowning: did you ever try floating instead? I feel your pain, I really do. I have Pisces on […]
