i'd feel better about a desk thats made from a base element and not a slaughtered plant.

although to me honest my little MDF desk is made from shredded wood too (i think) so it still counts

(Don't worry SR; we just have short attention spans here...dam that MTV! )

Hm. Well, I's be a Fish w/ an Aqua Moon, and while I can be moody and broody, my Virgo Sun/Scorp Moon sis can be more so (and my Cancer Sun/Cappie Moon bro...oy, don't get me started...but he's 15 so I think that that may be required).
Re: My Scorp Moon Sis, though - she can be depressed, although she has masterful means of concealing it (amphetamines, anyone?), but - and this is a fact that she recognizes and is a little proud of, so I'm not exaggerating - she nearly always takes her reactions a notch above where they really need to be (ie - My step-bro pushes her, she stabs him in the leg).
Re: My Cancer/Cappie bro - I can't give anything approaching an objective opinion on him, because people say that he comes out of his shell around me (ba dum dum..."his shell"...he's a Cancer...har har).
Now my father...he's a Libra with a Cancer Moon, and he definitely has major depressive and pessimistic tendencies.
And my Grandma (my Mom's Mom) - she's an Aqua Sun/Taurus Moon and about as stalwart and steady a person as you could hope to meet (esp. w/ her Cappie Asc). She is, however, exhibiting a little depression now that she's older (but then my Grandpa's passed...).

LL - You said that it depends on your birth year; I'm a Metal Monkey, how 'bout me?

Just a thought re your natal Mars. It's at 29 degree - which is considered to be a critical degree.
Sue

Here's a bit of info re that for you.....

The Anaretic Degree, sometimes also called the Karmic Degree, is most often referred to as the 29th degree. To better understand its significance, let's break it down mathematically: The full wheel of the Zodiac contains 360 degrees and is composed of 12 houses (representing the 12 Signs). Thus, each house contains 30 degrees. Each degree within a house is labelled 0-29; therefore, the 29th degree is the last degree that a planet travels through in any house. If you have a planet positioned at the 29th degree in any of the houses of the Zodiac in your chart, you could say that planet is stationed at the Anaretic Degree.
Your personal astrological chart is a snapshot of the planets in the heavens. It captures the location of the planets within the houses at the exact time of your birth. Astrologers look to the characteristics of the planet at a Karmic Degree and respect its teachings. In Astrology, it is very significant if you have a planet at the Anaretic Degree. If a planet is in this position at the time of your birth, it means that you are very close to mastering an important lesson of the universe, but you have not quite achieved success. It is only when the lesson of that planet is mastered that you may move on and progress spiritually and universally. People with an Anaretic Degree have a lesson to learn.
Astrologers take the meaning of planets at an Anaretic Degree and encourage people to push themselves in the directions of the planet's characteristics. This planetary position signifies an urgent need to correctly utilise the energy of that planet. The lessons it indicates cannot be ignored if the individual wants to grow and transcend or achieve reincarnation and spiritual reinvention of the physical form.
Below is a list of the meanings of each of the planets when they are positioned at the Anaretic Degree. For a more precise reading, the attributes of a planet at the Karmic Degree must be taken into consideration along with the Houses and the Signs that the planets occupy.

Mars at 29 degree
Problems with asserting yourself have always been an issue; you're on the cusp of either learning how to be more aggressive or learning to keep your aggressions in check. Learn to put your needs out on the table rather than surrounding yourself with people who fight your battles for you. You have suppressed passions that you need to bring to the surface. Get closer to your own sexual energy and expertise and bring the lessons of assertiveness into the bedroom as well. Once you have courage and willpower, you can have whatever you want. Pay close attention to your health concerning blood, cuts, burns and headaches.

A question or two pops-up, though (I searched on-line for info, but I kept getting glossaries w/ a cursory definition of "The Anaretic Degree", or more or less the above info):

For a more precise reading, the attributes of a planet at the Karmic Degree must be taken into consideration along with the Houses and the Signs that the planets occupy.
Do you know where I can find that info? As I said, I searched "google", but diddly appeared.
Something I saw on my own, though (see, I am making progress ... ):
Astrologers take the meaning of planets at an Anaretic Degree and encourage people to push themselves in the directions of the planet's characteristics. This planetary position signifies an urgent need to correctly utilise the energy of that planet.
Looks like I'm pushing myself that way, too, since my NN is only a few degrees away from that Anaretic Mars.
Hm.
Would you say that my Mars is there to push my NN, my NN is there to push my Mars, or both?

You might be onto something there with looking at Mars. I have Mars in Saggitarius which is trine with several other planets. Maybe that's it...or the fact I have one outer planet in a water sign. :smile:
