I go through phases.
We all go through phases (do we? There’s got to be a better word) and right now I’m in some kind of beauty phase or Venus transit or maybe it’s a health transit, more 6th House related but hmm it’s both. It’s definitely both. It started out as health. Wanting to reverse a pre-diabetic state. And then it turned to beauty (buying make-up, something I rarely do and also getting my eyebrows some professional help).
If you know me then you know that I am THE least Venus person around in terms of surface Venus i.e. like I give a fuck about eyeshadow. But the other day I actually bought eyeshadow 🙂 And mascara and a little brush to comb my eyebrows. I know Mars is still in Taurus but really MoonPluto? Really?
Is it a phase? Is it a permanent?
Hmm, I think I am… changing. (I also quit smoking. Or, at least, am on a break. I reserve the right to take it up again at any time.)
The most interesting thing to me is folks from my on-line life as well as my “real” life commenting about a change in me and they are thinking (and I am thinking) that it’s not only (not exactly) a physical change. It’s been eerie.
When I was a young teenager, I put on a lot of weight. I think by age… 16 or so I started exercising A LOT (so much that I stopped getting my period and apparently was very thin although my Scorpio mother never let on that she was worried) and I learned a very important lesson.
The common wisdom is that we change from the inside out. For me, it works differently. I change the outside and it works its way in.
I would not be doing yoga poses or clearing my chakras if it weren’t for the 20 to 40 minutes of intense exercise that I do BEFORE I cool down and open up. I’ve written (on Facebook) about pushing myself to the limit and how sometimes it makes me cry. I’m dripping sweat onto the carpet and I don’t stop, which is also why I prefer to work out at HOME and not at the gym. So I can be free to go THERE. Also I’ve noticed lately that I haven’t cried much. I’ve gotten stronger. I’m healing old pain. I can do more push-ups, more jumping jacks. Exercise is real and true but also a metaphor. Push yourself and you get stronger.
Rather than talk about my own chart though, I am wondering what “phase” you are in and if you are making the astro connections.
Love, MP
PS I’m looking for ideas, suggestions. I have been thinking about doing videos for a while but doing astrology forecasts doesn’t interest me at all. Is there anything in particular that you’d like to hear me talk about? I feel like if I can hit on just the right thing, I’ll begin. But I haven’t found it yet….

Thank you for this post! It was good wake up reading. My lesson of the moment is ‘Push yourself and you get stronger.’ x
Thank you too, Verity
Hi! I’d love to download some mp3 or videos about natal aspects between planets and planets placements in houses and signs … to listen to at the gym. 🙂
is there some other passion that you have that could be linked with astrology, and turned into something?
eclipse hit hard here, having to relocate, find a new job, and move on from a lover. having a hard time deciding what to do next! juicy trine from jupiter, venus and mercury to my sun, though, so hopefully over the next six months i’ll see that as well 🙂
Ah Jaimie I think that’s the key. That’s what I’m trying to figure it out. Kashmiri may be on to something but I’m not sure (with her suggestion of random card and random poem). I too hope you see the benefit from that trine. Your energy feels strong and hopeful though…
I’m an outside first kind of person too. Only with me it’s not my body, it’s my home. Every internal metamorphosis starts with me clearing out drawers and closets, purging, cleaning and organizing from top to bottom until all that remains is essential, beautiful and/or well-loved. After that I work on *my* externals and then I’m good to go. I may be great in emergencies, but I don’t function nearly as well when my immediate environment feels chaotic. I need order to thrive – natal Saturn in the 4th forming a grand trine with 8th house SN and 12th house Uranus? Natal Uranus widely opposite my Moon? Or maybe it’s my 12th house Pluto in Virgo conjunct my Virgo Ascendant. Whatever it’s due to, that’s how I roll.
I’m going through a wait-and-see phase right now, where nothing feels certain and I’m relatively unmotivated to take on any significant *new* commitments. The patience card you pulled the other day spoke to me.:)
Ah yes I always forget that LB. And those things are always on my list – the home stuff, yes! Our homes are extensions of our bodies. Part of our bodies. ARE OUR BODIES! (Eek)
I love this. I think about this inside/outside too…as the saying goes ‘as above so below’, so too ‘as inner, so outer’…or linear/nonlinear views of time. Outer change definitely can have an impact on inner. Ultimately we’re animals…all animals groom and we groom because it has a positive impact on our overall wellbeing. It’s up to us to define for ourselves where the line needs to be drawn. I think that line is constantly shifting, for all people. I haven’t painted my nails in years. There was a time I wouldn’t want to leave the house without painted nails. Rambling on…sorry
I’d love to see a random poem for a randomly pulled tarot card:)
That’s an interesting idea, Kash. Random card, random poem hmm
Oh! I’m through the same phase too!
I’m recovering from an eating disorder and actually treating myself better by eating healthy food and not killing myself exercing to death. I also lost my period but its back again jaaj:). And i feel like now i’m actually leaving the obssession with food and taking care of me with beauty products today i went to a make up class and i’ve been using natural masks and stuff. I call it my selflove journey:) i’m starting to love myself 🙂
Keep on recovering, Alicia 🙂 It’s the best thing you can do
As for doing Videos – it seems like you are moving towards ” camera ready “.
