Last week was a tough one for many. It seemed to hit a low point when the moon went into Cancer at the middle of week. This meant the transiting moon was squared transiting Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter, and conjunct transiting Saturn, creating alot of stressful, afflicted and oppressed energy that some of us would have been particularly sensitive to.

I struggled with my own depression last week, and so did some of my friends (one had it particularly bad, and we were very scared for her). A friend of a friend died suddenly from undiagnosed cancer (tragic irony there) and an associate of my best pal underwent a difficult bypass surgery. I noticed many people suffering from sinus allergies that had turn into infections and lingering colds/viral infections. A lot of people were complaining of feeling very fatigued and run down, much more so than usual. It wasn't a great week for many.

Hopefully this week will be better. Today and tomorrow the moon's in Virgo, which isn't as afflicted by the Libra transits as you'd think. It's an excellant "prep" period for the rest of the week, especially Tuesday, Wednesday and early Thurday, when the moon in Libra and more agreeable to the many of the other transits. During those three days there's a New Moon and a Solar Eclipse.

It should be astrologically speaking a very energized and lucky time to start off on a new path or take personal matters to the next level. Chances are, because of all the transits going through Libra (all the personal planets except Venus now in Virgo, well be in Libra), some may feel like they're going through a "compressor" and unable to deal with anything other than want is in front of them. But that's not necessarily a bad thing - justt work on whatever is in front of you, and chances are you'll do very well. It's important to remember that this coming moon in Libra transits sets the tone for the next month. So we may not see it's fortunate effects until sometime later in the month. It's important to stay positive and be hopeful.

Either way, for those of us that had a tough week last week, this is reason to be hopeful for this coming week. And fortunately the current Virgo moon should keep things calm and under wraps until Tuesday, so we will be rested and ready to take advantage of what hopefully for many of us a very lucky week. Ad if not overtly lucky, at least a bit more cheerful and upbeat than last week.

Yes this past week was so ruff for me. It started up on Saturday. I am a very easy going person and things don't reall get me down to the point where I feel really depressed and sad. That is how I felt the first few days of last week, and the funny thing is I could not even pin point it. Had not idea what really had me feeling this bad. I called my boyfriend to tell him that I was having a bad day in hopes that maybe he could lift me a little as he does alot, but I could not explaint to him what the problem was. I just wanted to cry. Very Scarey. kinda like PMS but to may the 10th power. I hope that that does not come back. Atleast I hope that I know when its coming so that I can get prepared..

I was going to bring this up too because everyone, including myself, was so optimistic about all these Libra transits, and then ...

Check it out, I've been hit really bad because I'm a Libra, so's my friend Mr. L. I was envisioning us drinking champagne out of our bellybuttons by now - only to be dealt with Transiting Saturn sitting like a mother hen on my Moon and his Mars, which are Conjunct.

And I've been like WHAT THE #%$@!#!!!!

My only hope has been the upcoming Libra Moon, but I'm also nervous because my Venus & Pluto are Conjunct in Virgo, and when the Transiting Moon is getting ready to go from Virgo to Libra, I fall in love more easily. I can also be rather impatient once I've spent a lot of time (7 months) being patient, and love on the run is not always out of the question. But that's not what I want. I want a frickin boyfriend. You know?

I keep thinking of Liz Phair's song from her Exile in Guyville CD -

"...I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first
Just that I woke up in your arms
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions, and
What ever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who tries to win you over, and
What ever happened to a boyfriend
The kind of guy who makes love cause he's in it, and

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old sh!t
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

You got up out of bed
You said you had a lot of work to do
But I heard the rest in your head
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions, and

I want a boyfriend
I want a boyfriend
I want all that stupid old sh!t
Like letters and sodas
Letters and sodas

I can feel it in my bones
I'm gonna spend another year alone
It's f@ck and run
F@ck and run ...

... You almost felt bad
You said that I should call you up but
I knew much better than that
And almost immediately I felt sorry
'Cause I didn't think this would happen again
No matter what I could do or say
Just that I didn't think this would happen again
With or without my best intentions

And I can feel it in my bones
I'm gonna spend my whole life alone
It's f@ck and run
F@ck and run ..."

My week was definitely not close to being easy! I had a ton of Moon squaring other planets all week and right now I have Chiron squaring Saturn...I ended up being sick all week long with that crappy sinus cold and it ran me right into the ground. Also had to do a HUGE thing I've never done before in my life - stand up to my parents who think they can say no to everything I want to do with my life (I'm 22!). This one was me checking out a new place to live in a new town, and I'm doing it!

I think there's still promise for these Libra tranists, but with them all squaring fuddy-duddy Saturn in moody Cancer, we are all going to have to be extra patient to reap our well-due Libran blessings. Just remember that at the moment Mars and Jupiter are in very good placement to influence us positively (although it may incline some of us to be a tad lazier than norm), even if Saturn slows things down a bit and it takes longer for those blessings to manifest.

This week should be interesting. Right after the New Moon and Solar Eclipse, the moon moves into Scorpio, carrying all the super-blessed energy it's gathered while in Libra with it. After Wednesday, we should consciously open ourselves to being creative, imaginative and looking beyond our routines, because there's likely little blessings and enchantment to be found in unlikely places, sort of like a Easter eggs hunt. The thing with Scorpio moon is that it tends to do its best work undercover, so we may have to do a little digging around to find the goodies. very good news is that Scorpio moon won't be at odds with that Cancerous Saturn, so the later half of the week might feel like a weight has been lifted for some of us, and Scorpios in particular might begin feeling exceptionally frisky.

The week will end with the moon is Sag, so it'll be a good time to be adventrous, hang out with friends or throw a party (what time of the week could Sag like more than Saturday night? LOL). Sag has a way of working around both Cancer and Saturn, and is very convivial with those Libra transits, so most of us should look forward to the week ending on a high note. Hopefully.

I thought the month of October would be better for me than it has so far. I am feeling kinda down myself. The solar eclipse will be on my birthday and I feel afraid of it for some reason. I just hope there are good things coming for me in the next year, I really need it. I am at somewhat of a crossroads in my love life < oh the drama> lol. It's like I want change, but am afaid of change at the same time.

Well, so far this week has been very, very mixed. For some, things are slowly turning around. Others are still having it bad, and very bad at that.

For me things are better in that I'm not feeling depressed, and would otherwise be having a good time, if it weren't for everyone else on the planet grating at my last nerve. Yet, aside from food indulgences (d*mn that Libra Jupiter), I'm weathering more or less OK. So are some my friends, who had it rough last week, but more or less have reason to feel hopeful and that the strife may yet end.

Then there's everyone else, which I'm unkindly and unsympathetically (because many of them are grating my last nerve) dividing into two groups: people with very real problems, and people who are running around in histronics, thinking that they do and that everyone else must, MUST care.

Now I thought this over and here's a rudimentary take on this situation: for those with the real problems, be they the Japanese who committed group suicide yesterday, or people dying suddenly from everything from strange illnesses to medical/surgical complications, or a 15 year old, very confused and abused girl (whom I know through friends) being suddenly and coldly abandoned by her mother and only legal guardian, I strongly suspect that the current Mars square Saturn, with that stress reinforced by other libran transits (plus additional affliction in their individual charts) is at the root of this. Fortunately, Mars will be moving on by the second week of Nov, so we only have (*grind teeth*) a few more weeks of this.

As for the people I so unkindly assume are just thinking they have real problem, I suspect that the current Aqua Neptune and/or Pisces Uranus (a very strange mutual reception, by the way) are playing a hand amid all the other stress, making people believe in the most preposterous things, like, for example, that I can help them with their nonsense or that I even care. Unfortunately these transits will be with us a few months longer - I may have to start slapping people very hard before this is all over with.

But good news, sort of, for those who are just not liking these Libran transits: Mercury's moving on to Scorpio at the end of this week, so except a subtle shift in the quality and tone of your communications and thinking, and Jupiter moving on too about a week and half after that.

Anyhow, I hope all of you are at least having a better week than last week, even if not by much. We should take what we can get, yes? LOL.

Um, I believe Jupiter's not going to change signs until October 2005.

Oops, lol. Well, the Sun will be. Shows you how stressed I was last night!

Well, strangely enough, just as I was trying to look on the bright side of things, I've been striken with a few bits of very unexpected good luck here and there today. Seeing Jupiter's conjunct by my natal Uranus near the 2nd house cusp, not surprisingly, most are involving money and in very odd ways. Hopefully others are experiencing the same.

Yes this is a much better week for me for sure. Only thing is my boys both are acting a little edgy in school. One in Kindergarten and one in 8th grade, that has me a little rattled,but other then that I am handling things pretty well as I do...

Me and my Libra friend will be dealing with Saturn sitting on our respective Moon & Mars for a while, not to mention other Transits which will test us both as a couple and individually into the new year.
