*+-I get ideas for blog posts in the middle of the night and when I’m waking up. And then I promptly forget them. When I had a Blackberry, I would type at the speed of light and get down my ideas that way, whenever they came. The Android phone touch […]
Saturn in Libra
*+-That astrology becomes this awesome set of metaphors and images we can use. May not have all the answers, but can help. One of many tools? Sure. Why not. Thinking about an email I received this morning and wanting to write to that person: Dear So-and-So DUH! Love, Saturn Now, […]
*+-Isn’t that what Saturn says anyway? That you’re doing it wrong? Filling you with self doubt, fear. I was on the train today and thinking that when Saturn is retrograde the phrase also applies but has a slighting different meaning. Saturn wants us to “man up” in the areas of […]
*+-I was reading an awesome astrology book on the subway and it was interesting because my experience of transiting Saturn through my 2nd House is not what the “textbooks” describe. Or it’s that I took the Saturn challenge. Learned from my mistakes. Especially learned from Saturn in Cancer some years […]
*+-Sometimes I write about personal stuff on here. Sometimes I don’t. One thing is for sure though: my love life has been pretty interesting the last month or so. Recently a client wrote me an email to tell me of some good news in her life and expressed concern because […]
*+-One of my beloved commenters asked if I was doing Mini-Readings for Saturn Retrograde and the answer is yes! I will do a Mini-Reading (15 minutes, by email) for almost any focused topic — just one chart though, not synastry. I also do Mini-Tarot. Click on the Astrology Readings thingie […]
*+-I’ve got Libra on the brain and yes Libra Season is over but Saturn is still in Libra, for another year yet, so we’re Not Done. Libra is known for her (or his) ability to cooperate, harmonize, appease. Merge. But until Libra can push out her own identity, she’s an […]
*+-My writer’s block is back and I’m considering re-posting stuff from the summer to keep the blog moving! What’s the astrology? Saturn squaring my Mercury and Mars in Cancer. I feel like I’m squeezing my brain to get words out and I think: if I just keep going, it will […]
*+-This topic is on my mind this morning because I slept well but woke up anxious: bad dreams. I am being forced these days to deal with things that I don’t want to deal with and my Saturn transit is asking me (pushing me) to deal. Now I am a […]
*+-Beth cracked me up in the comments just now. Earlier today I was writing a gloomy Saturn transit post and mentioned that I’d post some cheery rainbow hug-the-crystals- blogpost later. And she was wondering where it was. Thanks for that, Beth 🙂 My hug-the-crystals post was indeed another Saturn transit […]
*+-When our lives change in big ways, we tend to lose people. At least I do. Not everyone can come along for the rest-of-our-lives ride. I remember when my mother died, I lost a close friend. She stopped coming around and that made me angry. I wrote her a note. […]
*+-I promised I was going to give you my Hug the Crystals blog post 😉 A message to help me, and others, dealing with irritating gnawing transits that make you want to gouge out your eyeballs or walk in front of a speeding #7 train. So to speak. So here’s […]
*+-Saturn through my 2nd House is kicking my ass. Saturn is fear. Saturn oppresses. Saturn blocks. I have no nice words for Saturn today. I am not very New Agey, I know. Not in the mood for that. But I’ll hug the crystals for you tomorrow, when I feel better […]
*+-On my “Letter to Readers” post, a loyal reader suggested I write about my Saturn transit since I’m in the middle of one and having trouble writing! So thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate it. I appreciate the other folks who chimed in too. The thing is… I want […]
*+-I’ve never had surgery, but recently had two “procedures” involving local anesthesia and the cutting of skin. Or “snipping” as my dermatologist said the other day. Thanks, Doc! But seriously, my doctor is expert and gentle, and I trust him, but I felt totally worn out on those cutting days. […]
*+-You know what I mean, right? You hear about these couples or maybe you know them and someone says “Oh yeah she was the life of the party and then she met Jack and he TAMED her.” And they talk about this like it is a good thing and maybe […]
*+-Saturn transits feel like someone’s turned out the light. From inside. Or maybe it’s just a another kind of light that you’re becoming. Maybe you’re a candle now or a pilot light that has to be continually re-lit because the flame keeps going. Saturn transits force you to slow down […]
*+-I think that you don’t know, can’t know, what a transit means until you live through it and then reflect. What’s your option otherwise? Books? Other people’s experience? All valid, okay. But it’s not your own. I have some earth in my chart. I like evidence. Proof. I mean, I’ll take […]
*+-Yesterday I wrote my pregnancy post which wasn’t about a REAL pregnancy but a metaphorical one. I have Saturn transiting my 2nd House and that part of the chart, for transits, is considered to be an area of darkness in a sense: a time for planning, preparing, not yet the […]
*+-I have an announcement to make. I’m pregnant. No no no, not THAT kind of pregnant. It’s a metaphor. When the transiting slow-moving planets are hanging out in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Houses of our charts, we have to be patient. It’s not the time for expansion. It’s not the time for […]
*+-So I keep threatening to leave Facebook and I see this as a manifestation of transiting Saturn applying to my Sun, Mercury and Mars in Cancer, especially my Mercury. 2nd House to 11th house. My friendships are being affected, but more the not-in-person-Facebook-reconnection-type friendship, which is pretty 11th House if you think […]
*+-I can feel it. Call me crazy (ha!) but I swear I can feel it. Saturn. Slowly. Approaching. My. SUN. In Cancer. Here we go…. Where? Where are we going? To Saturnland! Fun? Not really… I remember when Saturn was approaching my Sun before he went Retrograde. I started feeling […]
*+-There is no way to separate the Full Moon in Capricorn from our buddy Saturn, in Libra. See, Saturn rules Capricorn, and the Moon in Capricorn squared Saturn in Libra. It was a brief transit, the Moon moves quickly, but a painful one, harsh. If all of this criss-crossing confuses you, don’t worry. The […]
*+-Ever have a conversation with a Libra? If you are getting emotional, upset, they may try to reason you out of it, offer you a another side. If you are getting too intense, they won’t join in, won’t escalate it. They are trying to bring you back into balance, what […]
