Are you a primary teacher or pre-school? You mentioned reports - so I'd assume/guess kindy or infants, maybe?

I haven't seen any Isaacs in school for the whole of 15 years I've been in ed. I do know that names can have difficulties as my ex named her dog Isaac - It was erratic and jumpy.

I'm in special ed in primary school age. Keeps me busy and gives me valuable insight into the lives of people with diverse learning.

OMG! That is absolutely amazing. I was kind of thinking before I'd resonate with bits and pieces - but all of it! Wow! And thank you so much for taking the time and energy to post that. I greatly appreciate it. I'm not very good at conveying gratitude to the depth I feel it - but I hope it reaches you somehow.

I'm quite amazed. I was also amazed when I did the personality types some time ago. Everything seems to reinforce the natal chart - or synchroniously - they all fit/work together - astrology, numerology, the personality types and this fits perfectly as well. It just makes you think how grand the universe is and how is it possible that everything fits the way it does. The world seems so chaotic to me - and yet there are these moments when you do realise that everything, somehow, is in some kind of actual order. It's amazing.

That's really special - really beautiful. You must have a really beautiful, gentle, kind, patient nature. I always think that teachers are so amazing - and every one I speak to dismisses what they do as just being their job. But, it's so much more than that - you're teaching children more than the abc's - you're giving them vital life skills - and it's more than a job. It's an absolute brilliant service. Parenting is the greatest service/role - but teaching is so close - right with it. I had this conversation with one of my children's teachers this week. I just value the role that their teachers play in may children's lives. It's tremendous.

Those are the moments of peace - in the existence of the awareness that everything is as it needs to be. It's questioning that and fighting that that brings disharmony. But it's so easy to slip out of balance and into that thinking. It takes just one small thing. But then, we're constantly being challenged. And nothing is static - change is all around and everything and we have to grow with it.

The key word is 'children'. Unless you are deeply involved, how does one know the impact that a young one has on our lives! Parenthood is the most important job in the world - and yes, teaching does come close! We are expected to perform the impossible- and teachers just seem to do just that!

I have worked with people with disabilities now for 11 years - what an amazing position to be in. I feel for parents with children with disabilites. It would be the hardest job in the world. I can at least say good-bye at 3 o'clock. For parents - well, what a tough job ahead of them. Many buckle, but persevere, using Love as their only vehicle to cope. My job is only very simple really.

Your name description is cool...!!! I would want to name my child a "J" name!!

People talk about how special the children are - but, yes, the parents with special children - wow! Either they have personal amazing qualities that draws the children to them in the first place - amazing patience and vast amounts of love - or they are in need of learning/cultivating these qualities. I believe as humans that everyone is our teacher. I believe as a parent that there is no greater teacher than your children. I have learnt the most about myelf - my best and worst qualities - from my chlidren - because they reflect you. Whether it be through divine order or conditioning or just copying what they see - they are your mirror. It's amazing. And they make you want to be the best you can be. Not just your own - but all children. I love going to school and helping in the classroom. I love the joy and beauty of them. It's not just the innocence through which they see everything - but the wisdom - and also the honesty - children are so blunt. It's the enchantment. They let you play and just be who you are. I love going to school and making them smile or laugh. And there is nothing more magical than hearing your own children laughing - and even more - that you made them laugh. That's the greatest joy in the whole world.

I really love this site, but also this thread, well, threads, technically. Because we talk about everything - and anything - and we are just who we are - no judgement - and we can laugh at ourselves and also support each other, and learn about ourselves. The perfect friendship.

Sometimes if I catch an episode of Sex And The City it makes me think of us and how it would be if we got together in person and what we'd be like. But it's more than that. We're so diverse - to the most finite detail. And that just adds to the colour/flavour/essence and what we bring. I just love it.

Just for you.

And because we all want his man love.

btw - meta will love you for that! Rafe gets such a sledging from us. Although I'm noticing a change. There are those amongst us who are empathising with the Rafe cause. ***eyes looking sideways suspiciously*** You know who you are!

Okay - all influences aside - I'm gay, I've been feminist, I'm deep, I'm yadda, yadda....

But, when I saw the "English Patient" I'm like...oh , wow what a love story...... what passion, what intenstity, what obsession - I can relate to that! Who can't??

Okay, I know there is a Knowflake that can't stand The English Patient - I don't care - It's one of my favs!!!!

Okay - okay - so it's not necessarily Rafe but the film and his character and his/their love.

I understand people falling in love with characters and performances and sometimes they transfer that love or the qualities of the character to the actor. Tom Hanks is a big example for me. He's a good leading man - but I always picture him as being a total jerk in real life.

The characters that resonates most with me - Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor version), Christian Bale's Batman, as well as Michael Keaton's Batman, and also Aidan from Sex & The City.

I don't hate The English Patient - I didn't watch enough of it to form that strong an opinion. I watched enough and it didn't keep me interested. It just didn't reach or touch me. I found it boring and didn't watch it all. Same with all of Rafe's movies, actually. I've NEVER watched an entire Rafe movie. The End Of The Affair, which I adored, is the closest - but there were parts where my thoughts wandered and I drifted into my own headspace and so lost parts of the movie.

A sledging?? Okay, I've hd 3 glasses of wine, but I will explain....

Passion....Raw Passion.... and that's really hard to type after 3 glasses of wine. What actor can convey that amount of passion for a woman they want to "Roger" in a scene? Only a talented director would pluck an accomplished actor to exude such erotic passion onto the screen!!!

Did you also have three glasses of wine before you watched the movie?

Three glasses eh? You're an easy drunk then.

I'm getting myself into an argument that I can't possibly win. I haven't seen enough of the movie to make an honest judgement. As for Rafe's passion - well, everyone talks about it - but I keep missing it. I can see it in his eyes - but I don't hear it in the delivery of the words. Not like - Jeremy Irons, for instance, who is in agony - without watching the movie - just listening - you can hear his desperation in his voice - but not with Rafe - it's that cold exterior - with those eyes - that look at you that way. I do get the eyes. But not the rest of the package.

Oh my! How meta is going to love you. God! I can see the thread over the next four pages - all about Rafe and The Boring Patient. Actually, you know, I like you too much to want to argue with you. Damn! I'll have to take it that if I had been drawn in enough I "possibly" (have to maintain some level of stubbornness), well, highly likely that I would have enjoyed, maybe even liked it! Okay! There! You have it! But not Rafe. If the character was that erotic - I understand. But I don't see anything erotic about/in Rafe.

Oh Oh Oh... how do I explain - maybe it's synastry!!!

I saw Ralph in another movie - same intensity... But the English Patient - just imagine.... attraction in a Pluto/Venus conjunction type of way.... HOT HOT hOT, Just Wanna f**K Ya, This is our little secret, Oh Mama, ...and then........

Her plane putts off and crashes in a remote distant location, where-the-heck-is-it, in-the-middle-of-no-where, is-dying, get-me-first-aid-like-real-fast, sh*t-this-is-bad-luck....

OMG, what a tragic-love-story!!! How can you not LOVE this movie!!!???

Thanks, Koi. That book seems to be pretty awesome.

PA,

somehow Jude looks really silly with that moustache, don´t you think? And kinda ****** , as if he was rather somewhere else.

Koi and PA,

funny enough I was looking into my Draco`s with Rafe.
Meta will hate me for this.
But she was the one who mentioned I might have been a servant of him in a past life. Well, maybe he was MY servant.

Draco - Draco (his - mine)

Mars conjunct Venus
- I am so awfully sorry, but it is all int he DRaco`s. It is past, past, past

Pluto opposite Eros and Vertex

But there are also these:

Chiron conjunct Saturn
Nessus opposite Pluto
Saturn opposite Karma
Karma opposite Nessus

Restriction, wounds, possible abuse

Draco - natal

Venus conjunct Eros and Vertex
- I am still sorry

Venus, Neptune and Eros conjunct Saturn
Saturn conjunct Pluto

- more restrictions

Natal - draco

Juno conjunc DC
Amor conjunc ASC
Psyche conjunct ERos and Vertex
*sighs* oh no, not another one with his Psyche in Scorpio

Psyche conjunct sSaturn
SN conjunct Pluto and Aphrodite
Saturn opöosite Chiron

Doesn`t look like a happy connection to me!
No soulmates, that is for sure.

Also, the tropical is pretty uneventful, and I think no matter what is in the Dracos, it has to be backed up by strong tropical aspects, or it will only rumble in the depth.
