I accidentally opened my friend's Christmas present today since I thought it was a jade turtle.

I see that they are symbolic for longevity, protection, and wisdom.

I think my cancer friend has good intuition choosing this for me, I didn't ask for that...but I love the pick.

I accidentally opened it because I won prizes at a party with him yesterday and I thought it was part of the prize.

Does seem like a nice gift. Jade has a nice calming and balancing energy, and turtles are kool as shiit (and very revered by some Native American tribes), but then again, I'm a bit biased since my partner had a dream about some of our symbolic animal associations and mine was a turtle.

I sometimes jokingly tell her she has created a monster, do some impressions from the below, and/or I show her this clip.

LOL I've never watched that whole movie. That's awesome about the turtle dreams.

It is both painful and simultaneously amusing--exactly how I imagine that some people perceive my sense of humor... (or at least my partner, whom I bite my thumb at, tells me!)

Tanks Stawr. In the dream her's was a snake. But I think she has had other dreams with some other/different associations as well, but I don't remember clearly. Oh the jokes I make about the snake part, so many to choose from, biblical, sexual/phallic, etc.

What do you think your totem(s) are?

Btw, I apologize for my overly saucy comments the other day. Not sure what got into me with all of that. My partner has been rather red and amorous of late with T. Pluto and Venus conjunct her Asc. plus full Moon cycle, and I guess it was, rubbing off on me (no pun intended!).

LOL snake jokes are funny!

My mom went through an Evangelical phase, and does not like snake symbols. She saw me reading a blog with a picture of a snake when I was borrowing her laptop, and she was like "I do not want to see that on my laptop" LOL

Gosh....well in real life dragonflies seem to be near me. On a trip one kept landing on me. I've always been fine with them. My Chinese month sign is dragon. They look cool. I even have face masks I wear to work with dragon flies. Plus I am a mosquito/deerfly magnet if I don't slap on my EO's.

I really like cats, and preferably male cats I notice. If I was sad, my cat as a teen would come over and look at me.
I had a special bond with one of my sister's cats too. One time I was dumped and I was at my sisters house crying. And then this cat acts like a spaz, and jumps on the table and runs off. I did a 180 and started cracking up. I'm pretty sure I've communicated with him telepathically before too.

I really like foxes, they are viscously adorable! I only saw one in real life once. I use to watch fox videos and it would make me happy.

I love chipmunks as well. I love seeing them in the area and up north. I had one come up and sniff my toe when I was a kid.

But back in October I had a female house sparrow come close to me and I felt like it was a sign. I am usually not that type of person to feel that way.

My mom with whatever phase she is going through has felt like hawks give her signs.

No worries. Wow that sounds like an amazing transit for a lady to go through! Lucky you!

Garsh, I think when I have stuff in the 8th house I am more likely to overshare about that stuff. My 8th house has been empty for a while until recently.
I have more demands and expectations of my partner...and I don't know what's got into me with this guy at my work. IDGAF if I stare at his facial hair. And last week IDGAF that I was staring at his muscles. I even made a comment about him having nice hair one day...and was kind of like oh **** . But I loved the look on his face after I said it.
I don't think I've been very sneaky about being attracted and emotionally attached to him.

Oh and last night I had a dream that I was running somewhere hot, with a camping style backpack on. I was paranoid that I was going to get attacked by loins and alligators while going on this jog.

You know what is pretty funny and synchronistic? I was at a client's house earlier today, and she told me that she recently had a hawk experience that she thinks was a message (and I think she thought I was the fulfillment of that, because we ended up having some deep spiritual discussion)--she also mentioned she had some Native American ancestry and so sometimes she pays attention to such things.

You should get your mom one of those pop out of the can snakes for Christmas..hehehe. Lol, but then again, you don't want to give her a heart attack. so maybe not.

Dragonflies are pretty cool and another creature than some Native American tribes hold in high regard.

I like cats as well, A LOT. I don't know if it is my Leo Rising or what, but we just vibe really well--I'm like a cat whisperer. Then of course, my Egyptian past, but honestly, I think that whole Egyptian cat pedestal thing came way after when I was around. Funny experience about the cat going crazy right when you needed it.

Foxes strike me as very intelligent. This is one of those songs that makes me tear up almost every time I listen to it, and it's about a fox; a nice fox :
http://youtu.be/a_f9fDluN54

Yeah, I read about your sparrow experience--that was pretty intense. I remember thinking about commenting on that thread, but for whatever reason didn't.

Ah... the T. Pluto and Venus transit has been some fun just recently..but in general the T. Pluto transit hasn't been all that enjoyable. A lot of shadow stirring up, unconscious compulsion/over attachments, etc, and she has dated like 5 Scorpio Suns under it, and with like 3 of them having the same b-day. It's like she just isn't getting the message. She's a rather Fixed type personality.

Hmmm, I only have Neptune in my 8th right now, and it is closely squaring N. Neptune in the 5th. Neptune co-rules my 8th. Jupiter will be joining her in awhile.

It's ok to be attracted to other people, as long as you don't do anything to hurt your partner and/or the person you're attracted to. Have you and your spouse ever thought and/or talked about experimenting with an open relationship? It's definitely not for everyone, but it can be worth trying out to see if it fits or not. The key is total honesty, as well as vulnerability. It sounds like partly because of his long periods of time away and (kind of non) emotional attunement, you crave/need more emotional connection and more intimacy, and another partner could provide that for you.

Hahahaahahah, if that is not a Freudian slip, I don't know what is.

(I know you meant to write lions, but I just thought it was kind of funny considering the continuing theme of some of your recent posts.)

About the open relationship idea...

I mentioned an open relationship with my husband. And he is not okay with it.

I basically let him know "then stop effing me like I should be effing other people on the side then!" when he was struggling with his drive. Also if he is not interested in trying something new to spice things up, I say "well then what if there are other guys, who are willing to do these things with me that you are not willing to do?" and then he said "Well it better be me then!" and I say "my point exactly"

My husband does have a bit of a possessive side. I think I sort of need that with my Juno being in Scorpio.

Like if my husband was into something that I am not into. As a wife I would attempt to compromise or something, because if a partner has a need and you are unwilling to fulfill it, like it would bug me to know that I am starving my partner of something and being starved of it.

And my husband did not really think of that. Until I make a point in that way.

I hope y'all can find some compromise and balance with all this. If he has low drive naturally, he may benefit from testosterone injections (legally via like a men's wellness center*). Nothing ups one's amorous drive, whether in male or female bodies, like testosterone.

* I'm not sure, but they may only do it for folks that show chronically low T?

He stopped beating off to porn. That has helped his drive a lot. Now when we see each
other it's like 3-5 times a week. That's fine with me, now that I have more responsibilities.

But in the past...I believe Saturn was transiting my 8th house. He went like almost a month with out initiating sex. So I just asked him if he has just been beating off to porn, and he told me "yes."

I appreciated his honesty, but I was still like WTF? I was kind of like "why!?" I was then like "whatever the reason is you wont tell me" So then he told me something that he has never told anyone...that he was molested at day care, and it's one of his earliest childhood memories. (still not an excuse, while I do have compassion)
Also around this time I was out of the house more than he was. He was working and doing college part time.

I am not a lady who would ever have an issue with a partner beating off to porn...but when they don't have anything left for me, and they starve and deprive me, then it's a problem. And I consider it cheating.

I never told him to stop, but once it dawned on him, that I felt ripped off in our partnership. He stopped cold turkey.

Hmmm, yeah, that all makes sense.

Pretty cool of him to stop like that for you (but don't you really mean, he stopped cold "chicken" or "monkey"...)

Oh he didn't. I confronted him and he told me the truth. But I got him out of his box with what's app sessions. He ended up liking it, and was able to (um. But only his needs where being met through it.

Byeeee!
