Hope you're doing okay, too!

As for me, I'm trying to cut back on my busy life, giving myself some more peace & quiet. But the problems with my grandma are still going on, sadly. ;_;

posted August 19, 2014 04:48 PM            

Sorry to hear about your grandma, sending best wishes your way. I've been in that same position, so I understand exactly what you are going through.

Yeah, I kind of do feel like an Aries in a way, especially with a 1st house stellium. Both the good and the bad traits lol.

Rie, I'm gonna email you in the next few days-- promise! I'm tired of slacking.

Bella, life is....um, manageable My husband is home again and the ghost or whatever is gone. We figure, it may have just been the sound of crickets going into a chorus, reverberating off the corner of the room. Crickets do sound kinda like breathing...

However, I've been up around the same time of night and haven't heard anything like what scared me that one night. So...the jury is still out.

We're getting ready for our annual move to our other house, so I'm just flitting around LL commenting here and there, not taking the time to format long responses...will catch up eventually.

Hope life is good for everyone reading this.

Though, speaking of obnoxious questions...I'm laughing to think of how intense a game of "Truth or dare" could get amongst Capricorn types. No BS + the willingness to shock people.

That'd be my kind of fun, I think!

Will catch up soon, this move to our country house has set me back with my regular correspondence...

Hope life is good where you are...are you teaching school again yet?

posted August 29, 2014 11:04 PM            

I believe the 'obnoxious' questions are my response, so you owe me your obnoxious comments.

You know a Capricorn made up Truth or Dare so that they could get people to finally confess their truths!

posted September 03, 2014 11:37 PM            

Anyway HI! =) How is school going? Have you been busy polishing your vast, heirloom ring collection lately? LOL

I agree about Truth or Dare. It's so obviously like step number one to being able to blackmail someone for money, and Caps are the ones hoarding the money. No-brainer: a Cap invented the game for extortion purposes. Gee, hate to think of all the victims....

I love that you go along with my crazy humor, Bella, it's fun for me to just voice whatever comes to mind.

And here we go back to our convo!

I would elaborate on this, but I do not trust that it won't be taken advantage of in the future (not you, just things I've seen on this site).

Totally understandable, and the full moon hit me the same way, right in the gut. Gee, can't wait for the upcoming full moon within two degrees of my natal moon...especially when the transiting moon in Pisces usually is heart-wrenching for me anyway.

Maybe I'll just play sick and hide under the covers the whole time. Then the moon won't find me. =)

Ooo that sucks like SO bad. I'm trying to think...when was the last time Saturn squared my sun? *checking*

OMG yeah...2011, I went through some awful stuff back then that is still affecting me. And holy crud, I was having my Jupiter return at the same time, so it was like, trying to enjoy the blessings of Jupiter (there were obvious and outstanding things going on) while...suffering.

{{hug}} If my last experience is any indication, sun square tr Saturn is a serious b*tch.

Good thing though...I DID come out of it with my lessons learned. I'm just determined to make the best of my experiences, so long as I have the ability.

Thank you, we are okay. Yeah, the Mack truck annihilation of my car was no fun, except that it amazed everyone who saw my car, that I had survived it without injury (makes me feel kinda lucky) and I was oddly calm. I was just lucidly thinking, "Wow, I can't believe I'm going to die now. Right before my wedding. Why? That is so weird."

Those would have been my last thoughts...just wondering. I'm usually wondering. Strange to see just how engrained the habit is.

Did you move around a lot as a child? What is 4th Uranus like?

We travelled a lot, moved once, but then I was off to college, then married, then getting new houses after marriage so yeah. Not much continuity. This is why I love the song "Green, green grass of home." It begins: "The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry..." 'Just about someone going back to their childhood. Very nostalgic. I have nothing to go back to, really, which is why I feel rather sorry for myself and listen to that song. It was invented for mopers like me.

Other than that, I think it feels like just being broken away from my family. Like I dropped Catholicism with absolute defiance as a teen, despite being raised in a strictly religious home. That's 4H Uranus to me. My poor parents.

Signed up with AstroWin out of curiousity. I really don't know much about midpoints, but apparently it is CAP 1 degree. I'll have to look at previous synastry and see if it was activated. That is very interesting with your daughter!

---

Okay, if you thought of it or think of it, I'm still interested. Here's a resource I've gotten a lot of use out of. At astro.com, on the chart selection page, you can go to the Methods section, and for chart drawing style chose Ebertin (w.midpoints). Then when the chart comes up, click on "Additional tables (PDF)" and you get so much data, all organized neatly. This is how I saw that, oddly enough, my moon/Mars MP = Mercury/Saturn MP @ 2 Taurus, possibly conjunct my MC.

I have moon square Mars and Mercury opposing Saturn, so it's like, four planets in a knot, when I'm tongue-tied.

Also I realized after the fact that not only is my daughter's sun on my sun-Pluto MP, so is my youngest son's sun. (Their birthdays are exactly 6 months apart.) Isn't that so karmic??

But I form deep attachments, always have, so I'm still in touch with my friends from grade school, despite the fact that I was never on Facebook.

I've been trying for so long to get back to all of these messages (in Meissieri as well), but it's like I can't concentrate, wanting to do it all at once and such.

Then with having surgery tomorrow, it'll take a little longer. It's nothing major, don't worry, but it's still surgery. To get more personal, they're removing some scars from past surgeries. Gotta take some time off to recover, I'll probably be sleeping forever getting that narcosis out of my body.

It's just so funny - I checked the transits for that day and the aspects especially show and back up my surgery. Bizarre!!

Any surgery stories from you two?

Thanks for the e-hug! It really hasn't been too bad, just a few career setbacks and unexpected responsibilities. But I think having a Cap stellium makes me used to this kind of energy so I can handle it better.

And of course Saturn sq. Sun will hit me direct in a few days..ugh.

A lot of acquaintances and a few really good friends. I have always been the one to give, give, and give in friendships and got nothing in return.

Sounds harsh, but I only want true friends in my life.

Thank you for this post, will get back to you soon!

Just wanted to report from the trenches that the full moon is actually treating me gently, sort of widening my scope and giving me patience with myself and others. A real gift (so far.) Hope you are enjoying it likewise...'only happens once a year!

I'm fine, thanks ~ my family is doing well, the weather here in rural PA is unseasonably warm, thank God, and no one's even gotten a cold yet! We went to a "Maker Faire" this morning and I got deodorant based on essential oils...it relies on the oils for antibacterial effect...my armpits smell like peppermint gum now, though, so I'm wondering how I feel about this, exactly.

How are you?

I've been running out of steam with correspondence. Or...more like, I have limited time to just be lazy on the computer these days, and cutting and pasting seems to take up too much time for lazy, very lazy me. That's why I'm so late replying here, there, and everywhere.

Still I enjoyed your last post and wanted to reply to a few things especially:

I think it's just common sense. Has astrology helped you focus on what's working and not working in your friendships? I know, for myself, astrology is always part of my thought processes, and if I'm not really clicking with someone, I chalk it up to synastry and...unlike how I used to be..I don't expect it to just get better by itself over time. It might, but I'm more realistic now.

I won't go into too much specifics since some are really religious on here and don't want to offend, but I'm with you. You know 9 long, devoted years of Catholic school got me in the end? Buddhism. lolololol.

For me, the concept of good vs bad, sin vs not sin sends the wrong message. And to go to 'reconciliation' to get rid of your sins never made any sense to me. Instead of living by a fear based theology, make peace with yourself and the environment and strive to be a better person.

Yes, yes, and yes! When I was younger I always was the good friend: giving, giving, and giving but never getting anything in return. I have learned the hard way that being accepting of everyone isn't always a good thing, and that I have to be very selective on who I let into my 'inner circle.' Have been stabbed in the back quite a bit, so not many people get to this circle. Quite a lot of casual friends and acquaintances if you get what I mean.

Actually this is more like Exhibit F or G, since I've hung around other people on threads until they got sick of it and left. (Though I'm positive they regret it and their heart aches, thinking of what we had together. <3) ROTFL

-Anyway-

Thanks for complimenting my children...as I said on the Rie thread, I think all kids are beautiful. But I've enjoyed the way mine look, partly because it's such an odd thing how little some of them resemble me. My daughter has blond hair and blue eyes; I'm brown/brown. Etc.

for the first time in my life!

They're starfish. Astrological (star) and Piscean (fish.) Though I have to say I look weird like this. ROTFL. The point is to get past that and have a sense of humor and ease about it, right? And then maybe I will grow into my dangly earrings.

Yes. I dunno, when I was younger I was closer to my close friends...not sure if aging has made me colder inside or if I'm not doing something right, like shut myself off. I'm so candid, it's hard to imagine how I could put myself out there more...yet...my teenage friendships remain like my gold standard. Maybe I was just more exuberant and hopeful back then...so it's a "me" problem, not a social issue at all.

...Fortunately I still have some of those friends but we aren't together as often, and there's no substitute for spending real, live time together.

Anyway- cheers! Hope this post finds you happy.

2nd, I never said anything about religion, did I? Go read it.
I said she was fishing for a confrontation. Seriously, go read it. She's never mentioned this satanic religion before, so Hmmmmmm.....
I never even mentioned it other than to say that I don't care what she is. Which I don't care what people are.
She accused me of being a fanatical Christian. I never even mentioned that either! You all need to get your $hit straight. She was fishing for a religious fight with Ami or Barbie and I stepped in. You all were SO prepared for one that YOU made it that. I never said it, PERIOD. SHE did, YOU did. I called her out for what she was doing and that's all. GO F******G READ!
I challenge you to find anywhere on this forum EVER where I push my beliefs into the forum or onto others. I barely ever even mention it, EVER. Seriously...
You all assumed these things but show me... SHOW ME where I said it. I'm actually FRIENDS with LL members who share similar viewpoints as you all, and we talk, and we like each other. You know why? Because they are not so stupid to make assumptions and so full of hatred. They then have different religions entirely. We can leave that alone but YOU make it out to be things that it's not because you're already loaded and ready to fight if you even get a WHIFF of Christianity. So full of hatred, you all are.
Just like the last time you all had a fit. You put words in OUR mouth and accused us off things that we NEVER said.
