exemplifies the strengths/weaknesses/wants and longings/struggles of a certain natal aspects, a synastry or composite aspect, or a natal sign-position. It could be yours or not! I'll start: venus in virgo opposite saturn in pisces: "The pursuit of excellence is gratifying and healthy. The pursuit of perfection is frustrating, neurotic, and a terrible waste of time" - Edwin Bliss IP: Logged |

One of my favorite quotes by one of my favorite authors:“Anger is not bitterness. Bitterness can go on eating at a man's heart and mind forever. Anger spends itself in its own time.” Madeleine L'Engle Pluto in 3H square Cancer Saturn in 11H. Sun in 8H conjunct BML Capricorn Mars square Scorpio Uranus (yes, it's a square). I have all of the above. IP: Logged |

Virgo Sun/Mercury/Venus trine Neptune:"The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness." ― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables Saturn in 12th house & Pluto in 9th: “The darker the night, the brighter the stars, The deeper the grief, the closer is God." ― Fyodor Dostoyevsky "People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." ― Mother Teresa IP: Logged |

"Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"Not sure. Sun in the 6th? I have more, but I have to go. "[In book inscription] Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends." Moon conjunct Venus in Gemini, sextile Jupiter. Sun in Aries. Sun in the 6th, Aries: " Just a minute... just a minute. Now, hold on, Mr. Potter. You're right when you say my father was no businessman. I know that. Why he ever started this cheap, penny-ante Building and Loan, I'll never know. But neither you nor anyone else can say anything against his character, because his whole life was... why, in the 25 years since he and his brother, Uncle Billy, started this thing, he never once thought of himself. Isn't that right, Uncle Billy? He didn't save enough money to send Harry away to college, let alone me. But he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter, and what's wrong with that? Why... here, you're all businessmen here. Doesn't it make them better citizens? Doesn't it make them better customers? You... you said... what'd you say a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken down that they... Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well in my book, my father died a much richer man than you'll ever be!" Basically, It's a Wonderful Life. But there are other quotes, not from that movie. IP: Logged |

“Understand me. I’m not like an ordinary world. I have my madness, I live in another dimension and I do not have time for things that have no soul.”Charles Bukowski Scorpio Uranus conjunct IC Trine Pisces Sun 8H -------- "My story isn't pleasant, it's not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.” Multiple hard Pluto and Neptune aspects.

^^ Those are fitting for me, too. But It's a Wonderful Life is one of my favourite movies, and it's all I could think of tonight. George Bailey was all angry and bitter about being stuck where he was, and worrying over the lost money, losing his temper, and then Clarence shows up. The quote about someone being gone, I was thinking about my mother. I have Neptune trines natally, and one inconjunct, but the squares and conjunction were brutal, to personal planets. I like your quote about anger not being bitterness. Mercury/Saturn. Moon/Mars. IP: Logged |
