...for a Heavy transit.

He has me in his steely grasp,
this malefic of the ages.
"Relax! Just learn your lesson."
That's the advice of all the sages.

I'm so darn weary of the study!
Blast the discipline and stricture!
"Don't struggle, you'll only make it worse."
Yeah, yeah, I get the picture.

Yet, I sit alone and wonder...
What if the sages are wrong?
"OH! You're talking crazy!"
"What doesn't kill us, makes us strong."

BUT...

What IF the ultimate gift,
from ancient Saturn, stern and cold,
is the Strength to say, "Enough!"
The Courage to be bold?

If I should scream, "I've had it with YOU!"
Full of Fire! Bold as brass!
Would his rings turn up in a smile?
Or would he smack me flat on my a$$?

What can I say? The Full Moon has me a little spacey! HMMMMM...wouldn't mind a little Kevin Spacey.

Kevin Spacey?! No, Keanu Reeves, but I guess that doesn't really vibe. You know what, I have always wondered if, in certain situations, we are meant to say "Nooooooo!" I really, really have always wondered. Maybe he would smack you down but only to see if you really meant it and wouldn't just back down. Nice Poem!

THANKS Silverbells!
Keanu? Well, OK, since you forced me, I could live with that.
But Spacey has such INTENSITY! Tabloids say he's a LEO, but with those eyes and that sick little twist he has, I say there has gotta be some big Scorpio/Pluto aspect there.

I received an email with some of those LIFE RULES in it. The one that stuck in my head was...

You only get as much sh*t as you are willing to put up with.

So, wouldn't that apply to EVERYTHING?

The transits get mightly frusterating, LF....that I totally agree with. BTW, great poem. I love the way you wove it together as a conversation.

I don't know, because on the other hand LoonyF, what if you have no patience or temperance or whatever and Saturn is trying to teach you. So will keep on knocking you down even though he wants you to, eventually, say "No",but just not in that situation because you have not learned about patience or something like that. Tell me what you think.

You know what, never mind because I have the faith that if we were to go on and on with no temperance or patience or whatever, we maybe wouldn't have the patience to sit down and really think about whether or not we are really meant to "obey" or "disobey". We would probably be too busy jumping into whatever action. Still tell me what you think.
