Guardian angel? I like that! No, I don't mean you're quiet. And if you were then certainly not in a bad way! It's just I react strongly and quickly to things, that's all. It's what also allows me to forget quickly. It comes in a wave and then it passes. Maybe you're just better at observing? I think I rely on intuition allot. As much as I like to think I'm a logical person I think it's often a case of "feel with the heart, explain with the brain", in that order.

Thank you Ami, that's nice of you to say I do appreciate when people are honest with me. It tells me I can trust them, even what they have to say is difficult. I think that it is better than finding out by yourself later. I'm not insecure about my own appearance or person so I can accept having flaws and people pointing them out to me. Whether it's a bad haircut or an unfortunate trait. In a way, it signifies a higher sense of belief in the other person when you point out their flaws to them, doesn't it? Because if you didn't believe they had the ability to overcome it, why would you bother pointing it out? IP: Logged |

Ha. Transiting Moon is just past my MC and forming a Grand Trine with my Moon and Vertex today. That explains some of the sap (although that also just tends to come with the Pisces territory).  IP: Logged |

Sibyl, you're new here (not up-to-date). So, if you really want know what - "this (bad blood thing)" is/was all about - i could brake the silence. Though, i should warn you - it's quite nasty. It's not a secret either - if you stick around long enough - you could find out by yourself what i meant by that. There's a lot i could say - things that don't involve me directly, so it's not about grudges - just some of the things i noticed in past 2 years (putting them together piece by piece) - while having a somehow decent long term memory (i could go into details even about stuff that happened 26 years ago - visual stuff for most part - though, I'm not a genius, it's not like - i remember every lottery ticket from past 20 years). I used to be an active user back then and - the bad blood thing - is one of the things that made me keep the distance and... repress my urge to say something - in relation to what was happening around here. It's just that - the things we repress can lead to resentment (kinda short term for an Aries Moon - but still) - so whenever i felt like speaking my mind - i wrote a post (like this one), but i didn't send it. I used to leave those posts opened till the second day or longer - and eventually, i closed most of them (as the urge was gone). Yet, there's a downside to this way of coping with it... I end-up doing the same with every kind of post - and maybe some of them could have been useful/helpful to someone. There are a lot of ways - some spiritual - others less, which can help one indulge - and ignore even things or people that - would feel really bothersome otherwise. Yet, there was a time - when i couldn't do this (keep the silence - exactly like you, which is a bit strange - cause i haven't noticed any common grounds in your chart - maybe just Chiron in 11'th house - but even that is in a different sign), as i was to self righteous for my own good. The Bible thing - it's a different story, to private to get into that. Though, i had to read it - to prove a point and some the things you can find in there... are sickening - to say the least. Beyond hate in its purest form, there's also stuff like this: quote: "Exodus 21:7-117 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. 8 If she does not satisfy her owner, he must allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. 9 But if the slave’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave but as a daughter. 10 “If a man who has married a slave wife takes another wife for himself, he must not neglect the rights of the first wife to food, clothing, and sexual intimacy. 11 If he fails in any of these three obligations, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment."
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+21%3A7-11&version=NLT It's a clean source for reading the bible online (for those who think otherwise): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibleGateway.com The thing is most Bible followers - take it as the word of God and seem to believe that we should live our lives (even in current times) - by the way the bible preaches. It's not that i couldn't ignore this - but i chose not to - since it goes against my believes and gives a bad connotations to words - such as love. IP: Logged |

7thGuardian, I must admit your post perplexes me. I guess I missed something pretty big.  I didn't really mean to pry open old wounds... Didn't realize there were much of ones to speak of. I just thought it was all petty stuff, but by your post it sounds like maybe it goes a little deeper than that. As neither of us are involved, I think perhaps you better let it rest for now. If there are big issues I certainly don't think anyone needs me barging in with my battle axe to "defend the weak". If any involved wish to "break the silence", then I think it should be their prerogative but I don't want to hash open old wounds. I simply wouldn't know what to do with them. A bruised ego I can handle, I'll tell you to get over it. I'm not sure it works that way with emotional scars. I'm not really Christian by the way, so I won't dispute the things you can find in the bible. It was a different time back then, and as a text I think it must be read with an open and critical mind.

Not much later, I myself wanted to get snippy with that same person with the "good intentions." Those of us who don't forget who's who...those of us who keep long memories...are of course going to operate differently than those of you who don't pay closer attention to the social dynamics. I am about 90% polite, 10% b*tch. Not a terrible batting average.
When I first learned about astrology I was learning from an occultist on how time both occult and mundane workings. In the case of the mundane, like say starting a business, it was best to have it "born" (open, preferably with a private ritual) on a day that has good synastry with both yourself and the city it opens it to maximize it's success, and that the the business would naturally develop an atmosphere related to its aspects.

We both have water moons and Aquarius Mercuries. Intuition meets invention!  I can put up with people being annoying in all kinds of ways. Many things that drive other people up a wall (like sloppy eating, using slang, boasting, being boring, sharing TMI, having a generally b*tchy attitude, and so on) are just curiosities to me. I don't take them personally or react negatively at all. But when there are matters such as bigotry or something I regard as a serious problem, then I will usually say something. Saying something does not equal hating a person, though it can be difficult to cover certain topics with tact, especially during those rare times when my patience is finally gone. I actually prefer that people tell me up front what their issue is with me, so we can air things out. Very often, there is a chance of peace when people are straight with each other. Even mutually agreeing to stay out of each other's hair is a form of peace, I think.  IP: Logged |

Anaretic Mars at the MidHeaven as well.
Pluto on the Ascendant with Conjunct Venus out of bounds; Great Attractor poised betwixt... Think Randall's Sun is on the Anti-Vertex too.

Have you seen it? Yeah, lucky me, it just happened this way. If anyone is reading this and is curious, I have a t-square in each modality, which is unusual, and a singleton sun for a chart ruler. And some other oddball stuff. Weird thing is, everyone acts like I'm just some normal woman when I go out in public. Almost like they can't even tell how special I am? It's a little creepy.

Hugs are definitely permitted!  Whoa, your chart does sound interesting! At least you work really well with it, from what I can tell. Mine has taken some work for me, over many years.  No, I haven't seen it, heh. I was just referring to our placements.  Go team Wood Rabbit (and Leo Asc)! IP: Logged |

@Violets: Whew, got away with the hug!  Yeah, my chart is booby-trapped but also...at the same time...gives me strength to deal with it. For example, parts of those t-squares combine with my ASC-DSC axis to form a Grand Sextile. But the bottom line is like you said: it's great to be a Wood Rabbit. For one thing, there's not much strain when you are wood and can't move your arms or anything. It's difficult when no one comes along to move me, however. LOL ETA: I just got time to check your video...ROTFL....I'm like that when I'm drunk on Tequila, which is why I haven't drank Tequila since I was 21. @Pixie: Great observation, and I love these hard-core anime videos you post.

 I guess I get like this when the Moon makes happy aspects to my Sun or Moon, and where that energy goes sort of depends on which house the Moon is transiting.  (Wait...who am I kidding? I'm like this all the time. Unless I'm p*ssed off about something, so about 50/50 I guess. ) I have a sextile (talent?) triangle in my chart as well, but that stupid T-square between Sun/Moon/Neptune/NN in my chart is a real...erm..."gem".  It's been difficult for me to put some of those energies to productive use, I have to confess. IP: Logged |

Yep, this is why my tone w/u YTA is not a soft sell, we both know better. However, yeah, u r kinda harsh, for a reason though, i've never seen you being harsh if it was not for the purpose of inspiring whom u are talking to in order to be better.

David Eddings' "Sadi" I'm not running for political office here" that is "you", and i agree, not pleasant, has to be said, and not with kind words..to a point, which i suspect you are learning As for Savvy, to a point, one can not be both Inspirational and Uplifting and crude at the same time That is Vulgar, and you are better than that imo I say that YTA b/c what your experience has taught you, you wanna cash a 350k (or more) check, it is not butterflies and roses, it is mean and nasty, that is your battlefield. However, also think that is not you per se, one is bigger than that, you take lessons from it all. YTA is not some damn money making zombie, no not you. I've met them, know them, that is not is you.
