Remember that Pluto transit I kept asking about a while back, the one coming up in 2004, the one transiting my Natal Sun/Neptune/Saturn T-Square and my Natal Pluto?
Yeah, that one.
I think that I just found out what it pertains to.

I'm pregnant. I just found out.

To start with, I dont beleive its' anything to be scared of.

You know you were always on about having to create something or go a little nuts? Well here you are creating something

And your life will change drastically, your priorities will change totally, and all I can say is that whatever you need - and no matter whatever you decide to do - I, as your friend will endeavour to provide for you.

Not that you'll need much help with such a kickarse Hubby

well, i am holding off on my congratulations. why? simply because that sometimes a pregnancy is not an easy thing, when you arent expecting it or actively pursuing it.
i understand that the thought of babies makes people happy. babies make me happy too. the thing of it is, that sometimes the time is just not right, and the ONLY people who can make that determination is the people directly involved. i think that i can understand this, because i have been in a similar situation. i can only extrapolate how i think corri might be feeling, but i would ask that we all just support her right now, and try to not gush about how babies are blessings. they certainly are, but like i said, sometimes the time is just not right and the thought of a baby is enough to make some people deeply upset and torn inside.

i have no idea what corri is going through, as i havent spoken to her about it, but by reading her first post here, i dont get the impression that this is a celebration, but something that is REALLY scaring her, and something that she and jason will have to think about. they have barely started their lives, and a baby is a VERY big responsibility. it could well be that this is not something that corri and jason wanted right now, and i just think we should hold off on the congratulatory wishes until she is herself assured of her own feelings, and jason with his. just give her some space... i know that we all care about her and jason very much but honestly... she is terrified right now, i got nothing from her post that pointed towards celebrations.

please care about her and support her, but try not to gush about babies because it can make her feel guilty for her very tangible worries. we forget sometimes that the spiritual is not the only realm we must deal with, there is also the physical realm and that has many difficulties in and of itself. its all well and good to wax romantic and ponder the joys of procreation, but honestly? not all of us have the means to support a child, nor the stability that a child would need. it is a CHILD, and no amount of astrology or spiritual belief will take care of all a childs needs.

i hope that i have not offended, i have not talked to corri yet off the board, but i DO care very much about her as a person, and so i have to try to protect her feelings as best i can.

so lets just be there for her (and jason), support and love her, and let her find her own emotions about this news first, and then we can be there for her. focus on her, not the pregnancy.

Thank you, Harpyr - it means a lot to hear that from you, especially since I know that you've been in a similar place.

Proxi, are you okay?
I'm sure it's a blessing no matter what.

Heh - shortly afterwards it'll be trining my conj. NN and Mars.

I'm doing fine.
Still freaking a wee bit, but fine.

Harpyr - No unusual craving yet (unless you count the fact that I was going to throw a fit in the middle of the kitchen if I couldn't find some peanut butter the other night), just the sharp, intense hunger.
Hm. Stuff in general tastes better right now.

proxieme, you'll be an amazing mom. You already are, apparently.

We'll be here for you while he's busy training and missing you madly too.

cheers,
Lunar

There won't be remotely enough free cash to spoil our upcoming kid, but that's not what's really needed anyway, right?
We'll both be there to love the child and one another.
I hope to raise him or her in so much love that we all just go silly with it.
Well, I mean, Jase and I are pert dern silly to begin with, even not counting our silliness in love, so that part shouldn't be all that difficult
