Thank you, Obe.
Wow, you have a beautiful chart!
It's not technically a bowl,
but it is darn close.
I wouldnt be surprised if you experience
some of the themes assciated with bowl charts.

Is there any other info on this? It's quite interesting, but a lot of these influences seem to be explained by being a double three, sag rising, gem sun, virgo moon, etc. It all adds up, but I guess it's more about the lack of some major thing that should make life make sense, but of course, it never does. I think I understand you a little bit more HSC

yeah, that is definitely a bowl.
There's gotta be more info out there.
I would just google "bowl chart"
or "chart configurations".
Good luck!

Mannu,

No, I dont think so.
A bundle chart might, tho.
Or any chart with an overwhelming
emphasis on the Yin signs and houses,
especially in the lower or left half of the chart.
The upper and right half of the chart tend toward extraversion,
or, at least, greater involvement with others and the world.

'Cause everybody wants some love
Shooting from the stars above
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never get enough

If you need it, you should show it
'Cause you might play so monastic that you blow it

'Cause everybody wants some, ooh
Something they can barely know
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never let it go

It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

'Cause everybody wants a dream
Something they can barely see
And though my heart will break
There's more that I could take
I could never let it be

It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph
It's in the photograph of love

If you blew it, don't reject it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it
Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it

one of the things I keep thinking about that Linda said is something like that we need to work on "untangling happiness from sadness"

I think they are cathartic.

A way to bring emotions up from the depths.

And to transform the dark into light.

Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Yes HSC....I feel sad songs do that.
And thanks for the support.

Principle 1:
People who successfully navigate change have positive beliefs.
Your biggest need right now is to develop new beliefs: about yourself, about this change, and about life in general. Nothing will have a bigger impact on the way you move through change.

Principle 2:
People who successfully navigate change know that change always brings something positive into their lives.
Every change has a gift associated with it. While it’s natural to find change hard it’s important to remember that there are two sides to every coin and that something positive will always come. This is by far the most important belief to have during the first thirty days of change.

Principle 3:
People who successfully navigate change know they are resilient, strong, and capable of getting through anything.
You are much stronger, much smarter, and much more intuitive than you have ever been told. You are more resilient and more powerful. Once you truly know and believe this, you will be able to get through any change- even the hardest one you can imagine.

Principle 4:
People who successfully navigate change know that every challenging emotion they feel is not going to stop them and will guide them to positive emotions that help them feel better.
Negative emotions can stall us, making change harder, while the positive ones can help us move through a change in a simpler, quicker, and more conscious way.

Principle 5:
People who successfully navigate change know that the quicker they accept the change, the less pain and hardship they will feel.
Let go of the idea of how life should be.

Principle 6:
People who successfully navigate change use empowering questions and words, think better thoughts, and express their feelings.
At your most stuck point, if you can speak with different words, think a slightly better thought, and get in touch with how you are feeling, you can become unstuck in a matter of minutes.

Principle 7:
People who successfully navigate change know they are connected to something bigger than themselves.
When everything around you is changing, look for the part of you that doesn’t change. The part that is calm, centered and always there.

Principle 8:
People who successfully navigate change are not alone; they surround themselves with people who can help, who have the right beliefs and skills. And they create an environment that supports their change. One of our biggest flaws as human beings is that we keep thinking we are alone. Whatever the situation, there is always, always someone who can help.

Principle 9:
People who successfully navigate change take action. They have a plan and know how to take care of themselves.
Actions come in many forms. Some are big and obvious; some are so small you may think they are irrelevant. But any good action you take is a choice to move forward.

LTT do you also think about that specific thing I mentioned that Linda spoke of?

---

To find the way...to make sadness

rhyme with gladness?

Yes, I have often dreamed and pondered such things.

I don't know though.

Sometimes this world feels like the devil's playground, and I feel that something sinister may presently be its ruler. But I also feel, that it doesn't have to be this way.

I am going through a phase in which I feel mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted.

But yes, I will try to stay focussed and positive.

I always find them strangely uplifting.

Hopefully I'll have broadband at home by next week.

Have you been blinded in the darkest depths?
You will be blinded in the light, as well.
Look around you now.

Confusion is a genius.
Fear is a prophet,
crying in the wilderness,
"Do not devalue your darkness!"
It is a call from your soul,
as lovely as your light.

I am Void; -
severe spectre of occult industry.
Solemn am I, sombre long before the world,
shrouded in myth and song.

I am Ocean; -
Deep in splendor,
storyteller with salted breath.

I do not decry the sober dark;
I give birth to agitative visions!

I am Awe; -
inscrutable light,
whom the fibrous eye of the poet covets.

Source of Orphic bliss,
that beats and quivers in mists unfathomed,
'neath soft, encaging, elliptical boughs.
