Gypsee, it really is so true! Scorpios LOVE being Scorpios - same with Sag & Leo, exactly. The image of you I have in my mind is SO SAG- all selling your wares from your belt at the fair and then schoolin' the boys at pool. I love it!

Similar to men who hate being The Virgin, I met a guy at All Tomorrow's Parties in NY who was a Cancer, and when I asked his sign he said "terminal illness."

Chiron is prominent in my chart, yes.

ABC, why do you feel sorry? All the solar Scorpios I know are kooky and interesting!

Yin, I'm so glad you like it! Those moon sign necklaces are a big hit- a lot of people tell me they like them because it's astrology jewelry that doesn't shout it out to the world. It's self referential but doesn't necessarily open you up to spiritual judgments/unwanted conversations, etc. I never thought of that when I dreamed them up, but it's a good point. Thank you again!

DTM, I'm going okay. I found out about a week ago that my Libra friend/ex is infatuated with a woman he hooked up with while he was in Chicago. I had to take a few days there to kick myself, haha. How are YOU doing?

Nothing is really new with me, but I do have a job interview tomorrow (fingers crossed). The job thing has completely taken over my life so even when I try to think about dating, men, commitments, it all comes back to that!

ETA: okay, a trio of dancing elephants

And your loot sounds amazing! Jade is one of my favorite gemstones, it's one of the planetary stones of Venus.

I LOVE catholic imagery, as scary as that can sometimes be to people. Sure, it's all dark agey and macabre, but maybe so am I a little, haha.

Do those round turquoise medallions match? I'm imagining wearing them both at the same time with my favorite pair of jeans and this white boatneck flutter sleeve tunic I have!

And oh, the centaur! That sounds AB SO LUT LEY gorgeous!!!! Strange with no Saggies in the family that your friend had that; maybe a mythology buff? Or maybe someone with a horseman fetish? Considering how much I love me some Sag men, I could probably be included in the latter.

He's 34, 7 years older than me, and a dedicated student of Vipassana meditation. He's a really spiritual, disciplined guy with beautiful big brown eyes, creamed coffee colored skin and big, strong hands. *fans self*

Here's his chart, note the Mystic Rectangle between Pluto, Neptune, Venus & Jupiter:

and our synastry (50% orb, I'm the Aries):

Hell girl, I'm so pleased! You have some seriously nice conjunctions in your synastry. Venus/Mars. Venus/AC. Saturn/NN. Your Eros in his 8th conjunct Vertex. Nom nom. His Valentine in your 7th. Your Amor and Chiron in his 5th conjunct Juno. *cue Sexual Healing by Marvin Gaye*

You know, I like you. You seem like a top girl.

How's it going since you wrote this? Loving the high school pic. I'd post one of me in high school but I fear it may explode the screen.

I would LOVE a little sexual healing, but as I mentioned before he's a dedicated Buddhist and is actually celibate at the moment. He says he likes to keep his energy "inside" because without it he loses his balance, and that he won't have sex at all unless he's in a relationship he believes may lead to life long commitment. I'll let you know how long it takes me to change his mind! Just kidding (maybe)!

And I dig you too, WOC! There have been a handful of people here on LL I've felt an instant liking for, including you!

I'm actually cleaning my entire house today in preparation for the Earthy Monk coming to visit and cook me dinner here on Thursday night. On our first date he brought me vegetables from his garden instead of flowers!

Your son is A D O R A B L E!!! Reading about him only enhances that!

Trying to remember your questions. Let's see is it a fire sign thing to roll around in shinies naked? Er, no, it's a fire sign thing to roll around naked period. (wink)

Yeah, I like the Catholic imagery too, but I guess cause that is my childhood religion, although, I am seriously lapsed.

I can't remember at the moment which saint it is, I'm thinking Agnes, but I can totally be wrong, anyway, there is a saint that people pray to who have husbands or lovers who have, shall we say, the wandering eye? Anyway, I made a charm bracelet for a girl with some St. (Agnes) charms on it that I got super cheap at a bead store. I used Rose Quartz in it. she loved it and said it worked for her, so who knows? Maybe just the power of suggestion.

The turquoise you asked about (dang wish i could show you) remember when I said one was larger than the other? Well, they are identical except for the larger one has an extra ring of turqoise stones set around it like spokes in a wheel.

The centaur, I just don't know what I'm gonna do with him. Hopefully soon I can get that camera back and show it to you and maybe you can give me some ideas...

Drat!

Aww, veggies from his garden. How lovely is that? He sounds like a complete doll.

I just read your thread on Astro about that guy that messed you around. Bloody hell. That's horrendous. Can't imagine a worse scenario to be honest. Pity he had to involve a genuinely good person in his scumbaggery. Poor chicita. Does not sound like Buddha Boy would ever do a thing like that. Perhaps this is why you're excited. Sounds like he regards sex quite highly, which is probably what you need, in order to trust again. He sounds healthy and respectful. He's not likely to give it away to a drunken 19 year old huh? Plus anyone that grows veggies is alright by me. Veggies are like children, requiring investment and nurturing and patience. Precious gift, therefore, to be made a present of some.

I am quite a fan of the older man. So much so I can't seem to connect with anyone my own age anymore. They seem so lacking in gravitas (my new fave word).

Thanks for the positive vibes but today I got a rejection letter Oh well, it was not something I really wanted to do anyway (assistant marketing director – so not me). Everything happens for a reason and I decided to take more grad school courses since I can't find a job. I'll be able to get my M.A. in May 2010 (!) so that is the silver lining...

Another interesting thing about D & I is how obvious it is by our charts that Moonie is our son. D & I have identical Ascendants (Gemini, the same by 1 degree) and non-trine fire suns (he's an early Sag and I'm a late Aries) with opposite moons (Cappy & Can-Can)and directly inconjunct Mercurys (Sag & Taurus). Our relationship was a disaster (he's very possessive, jealous, and manipulative- or was with me, anyway) and is an ongoing struggle. The only glaringly positive synastry contact we have is a tight Moon(his)/N. Node(mine) conjunction in Cancer, both of which are conjunct Moonie's Sun- in fact, he fills in the degree between my Node & D's Moon. He was literally BORN OF D and I's Moon/Node, it's mind blowing. I love family synastry!

Here's another pic of Moonie-man, from his first time seeing the ocean!

TRUTH HERE, FOLKS. Were you one of those kids who had to be naked all the time growing up, Gypsee? Because I sure am, I mean, was. Tehee.

I was raised Catholic also, really fire & brimstone Massachusetts Irish Catholic. I disagreed with a lot of the church's ideas from a young age, but still really resonated with the idea of Jesus and the saints. So I went through this period of time in my teens where I considered myself a "rebel catholic" and continued to attend church long after I'd disconnected from a lot of the church's main tenets. I taught Sunday school for a while in high school and even considered going into a convent at one point! After a while I realized my spiritual scope was way, way too vast for Catholicism, although the smell of an inside of a church still reminds me of being a little girl every time.

Your necklaces sound so gorgeous! I'm so jealous! I went camping in VT this weekend with my best friend/soul sister and we drove by so many antique shops and tag sales! I should have stopped and scouted the jewelry! Argggh! At least there's still a bunch more of August left for me to flea market scour. Momma needs some new shinies!!!!!
