I will have to come back later and describe the events/feelings that you nailed. Have you thought about doing readings as a side business? You should be paid for these because they are not only accurate but thorough.

And Rie, how are you and your grandmother both? <3<3<3

Oh thanks! Well I looked into selling my hair when it was longer, and it seems that the highest demand is for minimally-processed hair. Women were bragging about only washing their hair once or twice a week,because even shampoo can be rough on the hair structure. So that's when I stopped blow-drying, ironing, gooping it up, and now I only wash it every 4 days or so (and whenever I have a social engagement.)

I wanted to buy a wooden comb per your advice but the only one I found so far had rough surfaces between the teeth of the comb. It wasn't smooth...I was kind of indignant that they promoted it as a "spa comb" when it looked like it would snag a person's hair like crazy. FAKE spa comb is more like it. *thumbs down*

I don't. Well actually they all eat green beans and broccoli and that's the limit. i got my oldest to try a little heap of spinach and he ate that without revolting or running away from home, I counted it a small miracle because he hates greens. But will eat cucumbers. I leave the skin on for extra chlorophyll in his diet. I also buy green kombucha with chlorella/green supplements added in, and they drink that.

Most of my kids will eat raw carrots and they all eat lots of fruit. Some of them love chopped raw apples in plain non-fat yogurt with sunflower seeds a swirl of flax oil. That's my crowning achievement of healthy eating so far.

Right! I guess I am similar, I mean my love of Elvis says alot, you don't get much more flamboyant than those jumpsuits with the capes. LOL Maybe that's my Leo ASC trine Jupiter functioning in a similar way.

When we meet let's get REALLY dressed up for it, K? Rie, too. We'll all dress like movie stars and act like Big Important People as we glide into that cafe for lunch.

So thank yo!

Muddy, glad yours fit as well. Yeah, especially yours just connected. Every single card seemed to bring up something another card had just done. Spooky! Being in your own world has its positives and negatives, you're right about that.

And of course I still want to flesh Faith's reading out, too, and Muddy's, and and--
See the problem here? -__-

@Faith: WOW. That thing is a colour treat! Great pick, I love it and I'm sure Muddy does as well.

Then finally, I'm having surgery tomorrow. Said that in Bella's thread, too, but just so Muddy's up to date about it, too. It's nothing serious, no need to worry, but it's still surgery and like always, I'll need a couple of days at least to recover, sleep off the narcosis, get my strengths back. I'm one of those people who is super sensitive to anaesthetics, even a small dose makes me all upset and extremely sleepy for days. The Neptunian curse? Lol. Nah, being HSP isn't always so bad. Just with hospitals and stuff... *gulps* It's to remove some old scars from the surgery Muddy started this thread about!

So, we'll see. I'm always a tad worried about things going wrong, especially after it DID during that surgery, and just... it's surgery. You know. And bleh, gotta be there so early, worried about that too.

How are things at your new place?
You’re doing a wonderful job with the readings. I love mine. Is Jupiter still on your sun? Or is there any significant transit that you think brought out this talent? Is Neptune making aspects to your virgo mercury?

Hi Faith Good to know that you’re alright. I’m fine over here too, still up and sniffing the air.

Yeah my s.o has left our home country for a long time and he didn’t keep up with the changes in citizenship regulations n whatnot. We have done what we could and now we’re just waiting to see how things will turn out.

Honestly I get in a pensive mood whenever I think about the whole thing. I find that I don’t feel angry or repulsed anymore. Wary mostly. I’m excited about the prospects of getting involved with some animals/human rights movements. But “getting involved” means that I won’t have the quiet lifestyle that I want (the turn-my-back-to-“most”-things lifestyle lol).

You have such good genes. And I think your diet also helps a great deal. Smooth skin, slim figure, thick hair, full lips... I like that you don’t even have to spend much effort in beauty regimes and still look awesome. My mother often talks about how pregnancies and child births messed up her hormones and caused hair-sheds. She looks very young for her age, but I think it mostly is the result of meticulous beauty regimes.

Minimally-processed hair is on high demand??? That was probably why my hairdresser’s eyes shone when I went from waist-length hair to a pixie cut lol. It was a long time ago lol now I henna my hair quite often.

On etsy there’s a lot of nicely made wooden and horn combs, I reckon you should check etsy out. It has become more like ebay though.

I’m happy to say that I’m mostly at peace and don’t grip over past miscarriages anymore. I know that if I go through other miscarriages I’ll still be sad, but the idea of not having children isn’t terrifying anymore. His Majesty was like “I like having children, I like to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, like to feed n guide them and watch them grow. But they don’t have to be my biological kids. I don’t know about you, but to me my genes aren’t that special so the prospect of not being able to pass them on doesn’t depress me”. I laughed.

Thanks Faith <3 I love that little snack. When I have my own place I’d love to paint the walls with such bold and bright colours.
And I also love rich warm tones such as these:

Whenever I think of the word “colourful” the images of silk from India immediately pop up in my mind.

Imagine rolling around in yards n yards of lovely silk. Hmmm Taurus mars likes that very much haha.

Your children are more well-behaved than me. Whenever I have to eat leafy greens I want to throw a fit. Props to your oldest child, spinach is one hell of a bad-tasting vegetable. Yum I love fruits in yogurt. Your children are indeed lucky. You have lots of creative ways to make sure they get enough nutrients.

Yeah, cutting possessed foods helps. My cousin has stopped eating white rice, white bread and opted for veggies and lean meat. It helps greatly and keeping her weight in check isn’t a struggle anymore (cap asc, but Jupiter conjunct venus and Saturn, square asc)

My s.o’s nieces and nephews hate eating greens AND fruits. The struggle their parents go through!!! Lol family meals are almost always a mess. Children crying, parents begging. On top of all that noises is the voice of my parents-in-laws criticising “modern” parenting style, saying that the kids are spoiled and that “back in the old days”, they would have been beaten and left hungry.

My mars is detriment, plus being cancer house doesn’t help haha. In trine with Saturn and my stellium, Idk if Saturn gives it a little more push, or it makes Saturn lazy.

Ah I’m quite bad at sticking with/finishing things that I started. Unless it’s something that is very very important, or something I love. My interest fluctuates too much.

Haha world dominion doesn’t sound too bad. I’ve never been put off by that idea. It’s just that it sounds tedious, so even dreaming about it takes too much effort hahaha.

Neptune, hmm a bit like my heart beating, I know neppy’s there but I don’t often stop to think about how it really influences me. Neptune allows me to accept a lot of things as they are. All roads lead to Rome.

I think my Capricorn neptune doesn’t just like to “dream” the dream. It wants to “live” the dream.

Lol I bet Rie loves dressing up too. So do I. Or in fact I love the idea of dressing up and speaking with a terrible fake French accent. I laughed when I read about your Starbucks story. I sometimes have those moments where I wonder if I’m actually dressed appropriately lol.

Yeah I’m grateful. Feel like lady luck is on my side all the time.

What you said about your moon makes a lot of sense. It also sheds lights on what you said a couple of pages ago about how you communicate through vibes and connection.

Since it doesn’t occur to you to speak about a lot of things in your mind, someone who isn’t on the same wavelength would miss out a big chunk of you.

I read that the 12th house is Saturn house of joy. It’s hard to see why papa would like to take a swim in the 12th house. Traditional astrology has quite negative views of Saturn and the 12th house, so I guess that's why they go well together?

Rofl yes photosynthesis is indeed the way to go. We are a part of the food chain, so I guess as long as we take what we really need and don’t destruct to please our taste buds then it should be ok.

And here, I keep waiting for something amazing to happen in my life or in my mind, to give me the raw material with which to create a brilliant, brilliant post in reply to muddy...

But nothing's really happening. I might have to lie if it keeps on like this. But don't worry I will tell you at the end if the whole thing was just made up.

I've figured you might be busy with everything...I WILL get back to you.
And I'd be interested to hear more about your speech at your grandmother's funeral-- what kinds of things did you mention?

Hope you are both doing okay. Muddy, are you leaving soon?
Is packing and moving really difficult from one country to another?

As for adoption ~ none of my business but you are so young, and things change...
I know several people who thought they couldn't have children and then they did.
But if you are both okay with adoption that's great-- to have that option available.

I just like being around kids.

I have the trine and I'm so thankful for it. With Uranus all over the place and Mars conjunct, I need something to hold me back so I can actually think of what's coming out of my mouth. But it does make me panic a lot about how others will take it.

Miss you, girl.

It's all good. I've been attending baby showers and what not. Births and children, among many other things, are signs of life continuing.

Rie I was refering to a pic that Faith posted in the Asc-physicall appearance thread. Lol it's somwhat a consolation since I missed the one she posted in this thread. At least now I know I don't *always* miss out on the pics.

And yeah, I cap/libra combo.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother :blueheart:

It's good to hear that you're enjoying your new place.

Faith nah it's not hard to move, especially since we don't have many ties here. 4 bags of check-in luggage and we're ready to go lol.

Yeah it's just that my s.o's nature and mine are slightly different. Say, if we live on a river bank, I'd look to the other side and wonder what it's like to live over there. And what about those mountains in the distance...

That's pretty much the way my parents raised me. My s.o brings up a good point about while some children thrive in such circumstances, most are more likely to feel weary (like the little girl in Chocolat). He likes to "settle and prosper", and give them a sense of stability and security and make them feel safe.

Can't argue with that lol.

Haha dodging the camera huh. You should totally pose for more pictures. I think it'll be nice to look at those pics many years from now.

posted October 21, 2014 12:06 AM            

Check this out, we are all here on the same day! Like old times ....sigh....my Pisces moon is getting all sappy about this.

muddy, you're sweet to call us sweet. We all just want to be cool and not step on each other's toes. Glad we can do that. *thumbsup*

I'm jealous of your tiny bit of luggage. Wish I had my belongings whittled down to almost nothing like that.

I am like you, always wondering what's over the river, or over the next hill. I have permanent wanderlust. Maybe it's better that my Cancer ASC hubby is more settled...so the kids aren't being dragged around by their hair-brained mother in search of adventure. Though...we have considered buying an RV or trailer and traveling around the country for months on end. I will let you both know of course.

The picture confusion is annoying me, so here are the two pics of my different sons, both photographed while kinda sweaty, sorry (just how boys get!) I'll leave them up for as long as it takes this time

*edit ~ Sorry, didn't think it would take that long for you to see them, Rie!

He looks kinda crazy there, LOL. Maybe that's his best "Pisces ASC conjunct Jupiter and Uranus" expression.

Li'l Taurus looks very similar to my Sag son, when he was that age, though Saggie is more serious (Taurus ASC conjunct Saturn; Cap moon, Scorpio planets.)

I don't mean to just be fishing for compliments the way grandparents do when they flash their pictures of their grandchildren at you (or me...this happens to me)...I just thought you might be interested in some pics. I know I like to see 'em.
