Thanks for my fishies, Kiss, I can't seem to get enough of them.And yes, Esk, these are the moments that are impossible to create, they sort of happen or they don't. I'de quite like to write a book about them!! YIN, my living doll, you are a ball of love, so sure I will take some, because I know you will regenerate more in a minute from that endless source in your soul. Zala... Which one of my fishes are you liking? Well, it doesn't matter, they are all wonderful, and I'm thinking of you alot (guess that's why you showed up) and wishing you everything the promise of spring has to offer, for someone as deserving as yourself.

Pire - I don't know whether I missed you again. It's weird, but when I saw you in Unmoved's thread my heart lifted a little. It just seemed inappropriate to comment as I hardly know you, and because of the seriousness of the thread. I have been worrying about you and I don't know why. I hope you are doing OK .IP: Logged |

I've finally been nicknamed by Pire, I thought I might have to wait until next life time, when we will be married. Just kidding, I've missed you, everyone has!! It's not the same, hope you come back soon. Although, I do enjoy all the interesting things and experiences I have you doing in my mind. You know, writing furiously by candle light, as you impatiently brush a lock of hair from your forehead, and stuff like that. Or, listening to some very sad jazz records while drinking a glass of wine, with a faraway look in your eye... I never think of you bored!!!!! IP: Logged |

Jackyl is in big trouble today, there will be no head rubbing!! He knocked over my ashtray, which he does ALL the freaking time, and he went pee-pee in my son's room.BAAAAADDDDD dog. Yes, hmm, intense, you could say so! I'm cleaning out for this charity event. I volunteered to help with it, and donate "junk," because it's all for Breast Cancer research, so quite the worthy cause. Anywho, I didn't realize how much "junk," I actually have. So, I've been sort of lost in memories for a couple days, as I'm pulling out all sorts of stuff that I've carted around forever. Want me to describe it? LOL! How is the weather in Korea??? IP: Logged |

All the knowledge lies within us, but we lack the ways in which to communicate it to ourselves or one another.I see Oceans in his eyes. Some moments in life are so sublime, the feeling overwhelms you, makes you small in its shadow... Makes you forget that you have a dripping fawcett, and plants to water.
things like this...I often look into peoples eyes and feel some sense of them. Or sometimes when I touch them, usually during a massage. I walk away feeling like I touched a part of their soul. Same goes for being intimate with a guy. We won't even have to have sex, just be very close and I can tell what's in his heart. Those are my favorite moments. I want to take them and live in them forever. that shadow bit...I feel that too from time to time. I feel like we all live in this spiderweb. All connected to one another in some way somehow, however close or far away. And if one of us false away we all do. We can repair but it takes time and is never the same again. But sometimes if theres a huge whole, then we really suffer. IP: Logged |

I think your Mars is right on my Mercury, Gypsee. Mine's at 1 degree Libra. Oooooh, your Moon is also conjunct my Mercury by like 3 degrees...wow, and my Moon conjunct your ascendant by 3 degrees too...yay Anyway, I am a huge fan of Mars/Mercury! I've read a lot of iffy borderline negative stuff about the aspect (fighting and lots of lame arguing, etc), but I must say, every person who I've ever had a Mars/Mercury conjunction with (either direction), it's been totally awesome! It's like a huge helping hand in looking at things in a different way...mind-expanding After reading your post in astro about the 7th house ruler stuff, I began thinking of all the times my own ruler of the 7th in the 6th manifested. I think I was at my strongest in a relationship even when it was falling apart when I had a major (outside) project to throw myself into. I wasn't so 'workaholic' like in the relationship. So when it fell apart I was ok. I had ground to stand on and something outside to obsess about. It hit the hardest when I finished up a major project, around the time my grandmother died and I met my ex-husband. Suddenly I lost my major project and (unconsciously) made my relationship at that time the new project...huge mistake Anyway, just interesting to realize. I think we 6th housers need something worthy of our energy which gives energy back to us and replenishes (filling the proverbial well), instead of depleting it. It's hard when you have the Neptune 7th, which is a prime candidate for depleting situations lol... However, I think finding worthy projects might be part of the key because we need to feel appreciated when we contribute Hope that makes sense! Edit: I just realized that my draconic sun in Sagittarius and my draconic Mercury also conjunct your natal sun by like 3 degrees. Damn!! IP: Logged |

Hi MVM;Whew that is alot of astro for my tiny, uninformed brain, but, I can say I liked you right from the start when I came here. Then again, I always like Virgo Suns first, and it takes them longer to like me back. There have been many things you have posted to; as in replied, and I didn't post, because you said virtually the same thing I was going to say! On the other side of the coin, there have been many things you have said, just in general, that have stuck with me long after the thread is gone, because YOU make me see things differently, and not in an annoying pushy way.. Gotta love that. Ahh, the relationship/work/6th house thing. I feel like I should open shop, "People Fixing Here." My sign would read that. Although I am no more "fixed" than the next person, it always seems my "job" to do so. A friend from here asked me if had a second hand shop to sell my discarded Scorpios. Does one ever discard a Scorpio, I wonder? Anyway, I think, I choose them very specifically for the reason of them being very difficult, and somewhat of a job, in and of themselves. Am I not whole unless I am pleading, "what is wrong, what are you thinking, how can I hellllpppppp??" Sometimes this trait sickens me. But, other than charts, we are surely products of environment, and like you said about talking your mother of an emotional ledge since you were 8? Same here, only more than mother, just about everyone around me. Work does not distract me from these things. These relentless relationship roller coasters. But, then again, my work has never been something very rewarding. It has its moments, and I've met some very special people, but I won't be getting a Nobel Peace Prize for bartending. This is turning into a novel. So, I'll just say, I GET YOU! I really do. God blessed you with a sensible sun, although you may not see it that way. At least you don't have Jupiter blowing smoke up your aSS about everyone and everything, making huge issues when there aren't any, and sticking your head in the sand when there are. *sigh* IP: Logged |

Oh, I have Jupiter blowing smoke up my ass lol. It squares my Venus by 1 degree and also my Mars. It's at the top of my chart, conjunct my MC and thumbing its nose at the rest of my chart (which is below it LOL). But I love my Jupiter...without it, I'd be constantly anxious and cranky. IP: Logged |

Jupiter square Venus. Hmm. I have Uranus squaring Venus, I'm up for a trade, if you are.I just re-read where you wrote, "something to obsess about." YES, MA'AM, there must be obsessing going on, or I am lost. I don't think I would know peace if it whacked me upside the head. I only know it AFTER it has gone. But, my obsessions have always been people. Relationships...not necessarily male/female ones, but mostly. However, if I have a friend in crisis, I will live, eat and breathe her/his problem, until it's solved. Same with family. But, mostly it's relationships. I have NEVER been alone, I mean EVER. I have had someone since the very first boyfriend in high school (whom I ended up marrying). That is probably the Libra influences in me though, I just can't stand being alone. It's not a positive trait, but it's so engrained I doubt I will ever change. *Ole' Jupiter has his moments. I like to think of him as, 'Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind'. Jupiter people are so resilent, very upbeat, and totally forgiving. At least, the ones I know. Those are some pretty happy traits!! IP: Logged |

Gypsee, I don't think it's a bad trait at all to lean toward relationships. I think some people are just more comfortable in relationships. Not like they dislike being alone, but they seem to spiritually feel more nourished in relationships.For me it's weird because I've had a ton of relationships (long and short term, but a fair amount of longer term, 1-2 years) though it's off-set by periods of extreme solitude (I think my moon in the 12th forces me to take a breather). When I was 19 thru when I was 23 I had like zero interest in love. I was all about the chase. But I think I am never happy without that 'in love' feeling. My 5th house is so ridiculously into that initial buzz of falling in love that once relationships settle into day-to-day, I become very restless and wonder where the romance and grand gestures are. My Venus/Mars midpoint is in Leo, I found out recently, so maybe that's also part of it? Venus/Jupiter square? I don't know. I do know though that even to this day, 36 years old, divorced, and even with someone I really enjoy now, I have to be reminded by my mother from time to time that relationships aren't always going to be exciting and all about romance and huge declarations of love 24/7. Aries moon loves that. I'm learning to deal with the more stable, practical pace of things and it's weird, but fulfilling. Plus, there's always travel and exploring new things together, which I love I think the Virgo sun helps ground me a little tho. IP: Logged |

I can relate to the chase thing. I did that after the first divorce. But, I always had somebody, or two somebodies. (maybe three? lol)I am paying now, for some of this stuff. As it has been a parade of ex's for about 4 years now. I guess better to pay them now than next time around. I know what you mean, about your Aries Moon. My daughter has one. Of course, she is very young, but she's the same way, with an extra side helping of drama. sheesh. I think the major realization that I've come to, sometime in my late 30's, early 40's, is that not only am I addicted to the "love rush," but I am addicted to the angst. I was watching the movie, 'Sylvia' yesterday, the one about Sylvia Plath. Yes, well, we know how that story ends. Anyway, I didn't find her all that interesting while studying poetry in college. I mean with the females, it was always, Slyvia Plath or Anne Sexton. I like Anne Sexton, but, I don't know... anyway, after I watched it, I could write. I can't write if I am happy. When there is nothing to despair over, I feel so strange... alien, almost. I guess that would be the square between Uranus and Venus? IDK, I don't cause the drama but I always have it. Logic would say, I must be the common denominator here. But, I'm not. I just draw to myself people that are going to give me drama, then I go, "Whoa! WTF! Why are you giving me drama? Ahhhh!" When clearly, a peaceful, stable relationship, would not appeal to me either. It's an ideal. Something to hold up to the light and scruntize it for its wonders, but, I just don't see me actually living that. I suppose there is something to be said for knowing your demons at least.

Gypsee babe, there is always drama lurking behind a happy life. There's always something even if you don't consciously invite it in. Knowing that the balance can be offset at any time is how I live. I know, maybe it doesn't sound dangerous enough but I know turmoil and hurt are just around the corner, always waiting and watching me. It's like living with the knowledge of death. Carlos Castaneda talks about living with Death sitting on your left shoulder. It's always there. There is no escaping it. ------------------ Know Yourself IP: Logged |

Yes, Yin, that is very true. Sylvia's husband, Ted Hughes cheated on her, which, in turn led her to her eventual suicide, not that she was ever stable to begin with. But, at one point, when she finds out he cheated with this glamorous, attractive woman, she says, "I created her, I feared this so much, I actually conjured it."wow. Anyway, this right here, explains alot. I have been so fascinated with nodes lately. North Node in Taurus and the 2nd house Attributes to develop – work in these areas can help incover hidden gifts and talents: Loyalty Awareness of boundaries Taking things one step at a time A sense of self-worth Awareness of personal values Patience Honoring expressed needs of self and others Enjoying the five physical senses Gratitude Awareness of nurturing from Mother Earth Forgiveness Persistence Tendencies to leave behind – working to reduce the influence of these tendencies can help make life easier and more enjoyable: Attraction to crisis situations Overconcern with other people’s business Impatience Inappropropriate intensity Judgmental tendencies Preoccupation with the psychological motivations of others Resistance to cooperating with what others want Overreacting Destroying something in order to eliminate one part Obsessive-compulsive tendencies The Achilles’ heel Taurus North Node people need to be aware of is seeking self-worth through others (“I can only feel okay about myself through the validation of others”), which can lead them into the trap of an unending search for a soul mate (“If I have this one special person’s energy, I’ll feel complete”). In truth, Taurus North Node people can only achieve a sense of completeness within themselves – it will never come as the by-product of a relationship, even with a soul mate. No matter how much support and validation they get from others, they always think they need more. In fact, for them, others’ validation is a false barometer of whether they are on the right track. Living according to standards they know are right for them, regardless of what others think, will help them develop a sense of self-worth. The bottom line is that at some point they must stop being enmeshed with others and involved in others’ business, and simply walk their own path instead. The irony is that when they begin to do this, others will support them, both financially and on an energy level. *ATTRACTION TO CRISIS SITUATIONS*
