When I was born and growing up, BOTH houses I got to live in, were next to a cemetery.

The first cemetery was very old, historic. VERY nice to walk through {with my libra grandmother} almost every day. When it wasn't winter, nature was abundant. There were very large ponds, with plants and flowers. Very old trees with beautiful branches. Various wealthy families had mausoleums with interesting mosaic-glass windows and wrot-iron decor. Beautiful statues, large decorative bushes. Very nicely mowed and cared for. Benches to sit on. Very Peaceful, and Beautiful. I learned how to 'read' from engraved gravestones. {{creepy, huh?}}

The second cemetery.. my two boy cousins {both Leos} lived on divided property with us on Scorpio grandmother's (Taurus GF} land. Their dad owned a gas station and car dealership. The boys were taught mechanics.
.. We had moved out-of-state, but came back for month-long stays with grandparents, as children.
. .
One day, my cousin got in the old Volkswagen bug. Took it for a ride around the backyard, then into the woods, then over an embankment into the side-back of the cemetery grounds.
This was a usual for him. The cemetery maintenance man would complain to his dad, that he drove the VW around the roads of the cemetery {as a child-driver}.
We SPIED the maintenance guy.
My cousin threw the shift into reverse.
We bumped a young sapling tree by the woods that thickly surrounded, and, belonged to our property.
Saw the hole where we entered and left by.
We were "in pursuit"!!!!!
The maintenance guy in his vehicle...
There we were... speeding through the cemetery with a sapling attached like a flag to the back bumper...
Saw the portal!!!!
Car over the embankment again,
to FREEDOM!!! Back in the backyard.

We weren't as free to walk around that particular cemetery. The guy didn't like kids there? .. Can you really blame him? .. We never did any damage, but there were others who were bad, who came and would topple things.

So.
I do NOT love cemeteries, NOR funeral homes.
I think they are quite sad, much sorrow.
And yet, as someone said--
very beautiful, and calm.

I have an 8th house Venus, in Taurus, and yes I do love cemeteries. When I travel I always visit any old cemeteries, ossuaries, catacombs etc. that I come across. I love taking a walk at the local cemetery too. Aesthetically I'm fond of all things haunting, macabre or dark. I own several pieces of vintage memento mori jewelry, and all my outfits tend to have a hint of darkness or death to them. Same with the art I create. I love the contrast between life and death, fecundity and decay...

I have Venus in the 11th and I absolutely love airports.

11th/Aquarius can be associated with air travel.

I recall how horrified I was during the 9-11 Towers Attack in the USA. Bodies were incinerated. People were 'coated' with the dust of bodies. Breathing and swallowing the particles of people dispersed into the air!

Same with the Atomic Bombs in Japan in WWII. Dust-particles of people were dissolved into the air.

Recently in my region, there had been a desert cloud from continent of Africa that floated across the Atlantic Ocean, and its particles dissolved and settled over the geographic land here.

Dust particles from WWII still remain in our earth's atmosphere!!!

We are stardust..
and need to get back to the garden

We are breathing the dust of people..
and really, who regards them?,
unless they be "contained" in the
dirt and gardens of cemeteries.

In USA.. we have had Covid Deaths.
One American dying every 80 seconds.
One-Thousand-- 1 , 0 0 0 -- DEATHS a DAY.
Bodies being stored in Freezer Trucks outside of hospitals because the morgue is too full!

Do you realize HOW MANY 1,000 is?? a DAY??

Most can relate that when one loved one dies, how terrible the pain of loss can feel. We have NEEDLESS deaths occurring here, each day. The atmosphere is SATURATED with GRIEF!!

So. Like Carole King said in song,
looking at year 2020
it was a VERY good year for the Undertaker!!

Not only COVID deaths,
ADD TO THAT the senseless shootings and GUN violence.

COVID will be active among people for years. And in USA, we've got civil unrest, with a faction of folks who for years now have been being "psychologically programmed" -- 'primed and readied'-- to violently ACT OUT on cue -- via a politically-triggered ACTUAL bloody WAR, Death of Americans, on our land, at time of election/inauguration? Senseless!!

If you go into the mortuary business, there might be available employment in that industry now, and in years to come.

*morbid look at Saturn-Pluto reality??*
sheesh!!!!

I'm a librarian. With Gemini 9th Sun, Virgo Moon and Mercury on the MC in Cancer, it feels like it was meant to be. More of a calling than just a job.

My Cancer parents (Mom and Dad) were very superstitious and they taught me to never go directly home after visiting a funeral home or cemetery.

Instead make a pit stop, stop by Starbucks or a restaurant first then go home.

That way any evil spirts that traveled with you from the cemetery or funeral home are left at Starbucks and won't come home with you.

I also take care not to walk on a buried grave and try to walk around the outlines, just not to **** of the living dead.

As for cemeteries, I saw nearly every single one, if not every single one in the DMV area. (Venus 11th).
