Bella, we're so gonna be BFFs. And Faith, that observation you made about Bella's Sun, my Mars, and you Sun/Moon midpoint is enough to warrant why we all MUST be polyamorously involved. It was decreed by the charts

Faith, I love how fluid, energetic, and eloquent your writing is. I can feel so much your Gemini Mars, actually. The way you play with words, it's almost as if they are dancing to marimbas and drums. As Bella suggested, share your drawing if you feel they evoke more about you than your words, though I certainly feel that your words are ravenously attuned to your thoughts.

Loving the mutable t-square if I'm honest. It's such a romantic tension, for some reason. Much better than a cardinal/fixed t-square, I feel. It's the most wonderous of kerfuffles.

Felt like bumping this for many reasons. I have a really great story I want to share with everyone, but it is too personal even with a ninja edit. I break, but I never crumble.

I really like this quote I found today, it came with the capitalizations so I kept it this way:

posted December 20, 2014 06:18 PM            

I love that quote. You are right. There have been so many times where I have stepped down from climbing the "I'm right" ladder to be able to see eye to eye with someone. To empathize. To resolve a tension far greater than petty argumentation. Many times to no avail, it was like screaming my lungs out into deaf ears. Some people just don't have it in their heart. They have become so caught up with the blows to their ego that they fail to see the greater picture.

It's okay though, I hope you realize that such a "painful" process, seeing people spit you out when you opened up yours arms to them, is one that truly strengthens and heals your soul in the long run.

I look back at people who have mistreated me that I've extended a hand to, just for the sake of empathy and kindness. I swear on everything the love that fills my heart, even if it is unreturned, is immense. I cry writing this. To people who have put their hand in mine, people who have come back years later for forgiveness, and even people who have never looked twice. It's all worth it. Never give up on your compassion. Always give it a shot and if it doesn't work then you can move on in peace. It is no longer to do with you but with people who are too tormented by their own demons to see the sincerity.

I live for people like you. I swear on everything. I am happy to know there are people whose hearts are so golden. People who would do for others what I'd do and have done for others.

I feel your pain and your little cracks, but my God we do not crumble. I cannot say that I have, with my heart--a punching bag... It beats harder.

You can always email me your story if you don't feel comfortable sharing it.

I like the edit button because sometimes you need to a place to share something that maybe is too private to keep up permanently, say something out of a visceral reaction, or simply getting to fix a post comment. IDK, some things aren't the best to archive.

EDIT: things not time argh.

Woot! I always like Aquas whose Suns are conjunct my Mercury. They're usually as idiosyncratic as I am, and our quirks seem to match really well. Great humor, pretty much always.

I have a big family fest going on in my house right now, but I wanted to stop in and wave (and hopefully not intrude).

Sorry I haven't been around and able to get back to anything yet. My mind has been elsewhere and spending time researching, reading up, watching vids etc. on things is taking up my mental energy and time. The winds of change are starting to blow again and my spirit is feeling restless and a triple earth sign can never be too prepared or ready for potential transitions.

2015 might turn out to be the beginning of some major shifts for me. If I can make it all happen....we shall see.

Just wanted to stop by and say I'm not ignoring, just caught up with some other things atm.

Glad this continues to be the funnest thread on the site. lol
And that's all because of you incredibly brilliant and funny women.

Will try to respond to some things tonight. It annoys me when I don't get back to people here properly.

posted December 21, 2014 01:11 PM            

Glad to hear you are seeing 2015 as a time of change. I feel that way too. I think great things are headed your way, I can just feel it.

I am simply here to entertain, so stop by whenever if you need to get into a better mood. Heh.

posted December 22, 2014 12:12 AM            

Meh, I wish I could enjoy some of the old stuff, you know. Ice cream has always been my favorite dessert, cookies and cream to be exact, but no more. firstworldproblem/10

PD, I saw your new thread- absolutely great! I completely agree with you and often see extreme contempt in the people who claim to be the most holy and saved. I think that is why I don't like confession (In the Catholic church) either- you can pretty much do whatever you want because God will "forgive" you. I really, really detest that kind of behavior. Will have to comment on it later.

What holiday plans do you guys have? Any cool traditions? Faith told me some pretty cool stuff, I'm tempted to hop on a flight tomorrow and invite myself to her house.

posted December 22, 2014 01:42 AM            

I was just talking to my husband's step-mom about the different types of religious people we can encounter--the hypocritical sorts, who preach at other people for behaving exactly the way that they themselves are behaving--and the sincere sorts, who are some of the kindest, most truly helpful people I've ever met, regardless of their religion of choice.

I'm sure that I'm somewhere in the middle, despite my aversion to organized religion for my own personal life (although I don't judge other people for participating in organized religions, it's just not for me).

I am positive that I don't always uphold my own spiritual beliefs, mostly by accident or thoughtlessness, but when I do I can be a reasonably decent human being (or so I like to think, anyway).

Sorry guys, my Gemini Moon is flaring!!!!

& i have a feeling you are right. Yeah, it would be a blast to get together with you all here, i'm sure.

read this earlier and thought of people here:

oh and you asked if i like to cook. Only since a few years ago have i taken an interest in it. I was surprised to learn that I actually do like to cook after learning some basics. It's the clean up that I don't like (i don't have a dishwasher).

Catching up....

@PD, I loved your whole description of your Mars. You sound like an absolute blast to hang out with. My Mars trine yours would be ecstatic just to witness you in action, though I will not be getting into stranger's cars with you nor jumping off cliffs.

Actually, though, San Fran is a crazy place. When I was there, I quickly made friends with a millionaire who let me drive his super deluxe, brand new Mercedes around town without him. I'm not a great driver, especially not in places where the hills are over 45 degrees, but my love of adventure compelled me to take this risk and enjoy the freedom.

One thing I will join you in is arguing. ROTFL

I love this, thank you. If I were to describe my own writing style it would be more like...someone walking in high heels, who cannot walk in heels. I stumble, get the heel stuck between cracks in the sidewalk, fall over and go splat on the ground, get back up and keep walking. I'm clumsy (Saturn opposing Mercury) weird (Uranus square Mercury) and relentless (Pluto trine Mercury.) LOL Oh and why am I wearing heels? They look pretty don't they? Venus sextile Mercury.

I have a cardinal t-square and fixed t-square, too. Definitely the mutable is most romantic as it includes Mars, Neptune (which is conjunct my Venus), and the moon.

1. Leo

2. 7th

3. Positive - a big heart
Negative - a big heart

4. Putting other people first (major) and always being happy around them or the one they can lean on, vent to or have fun or laugh with. I never let people know when I am down or need help and instead hide it and always keep a smiling face on.

This is not always good. I'm learning how to nurture ME more now, but still have issues reaching out to others when i need to. I'm learning how putting others first all the time has actually hurt myself many times. I'm finding a balance now.

A friend (slightly irritated with me) told me I have too much pride (because she was trying to offer me help and I was like, "No, no. Really it's okay, I'm fine." I typically try to deal with things on my own and avoid help from others (especially if i feel there might possibly be strings attached). That could be because of other things going on in my chart too though (intercepted Aqua first house for one).

My Mars squares Uranus so I can get heated about certain things, but I usually don't blow up and realize that I really am extremely patient in general. That could be the Taurus Sun and maybe Saturn in Leo too. I have a temper, but it only comes out maybe a couple times per year and it's not pretty when it does.

Also, I forgot to ask you for a good site to find my Draconic chart. After you mentioned it here I looked, but then got caught up with something else. Is it something we can look up on astro.com?

A friend of mine here (hasn't posted in years sent me a professional astrology program a long time ago too) Maybe I can find it in there.....

I wish i felt more comfortable letting all my details known here. I'd love to see the synastry between a few of you ladies here. Just for fun. Oh well.

The puddle says:

Wow, your Mars forms an almost perfect yod with my 16 Gem Mars and 15 Cap sun.

The puddle sighs and quivers. Little ripples shows its rapid heartbeat. They eddy out to the edge and die. It rains.

You said you have a high tolerance for awkward so...

Anyway, New England is better than my area, much prettier, but to be honest, I am longing after the sunshine. Would rather live in a mud hut on the equator than a palace in Connecticut at this point. I am so sick of the cold.

Yes, it's an option at astro.com. You know how you scroll down to select synastry, composite, progressed charts and all that? It's one of those options.

About 10 degrees separation; some liberal astrologers allow that big of an orb for luminaries. And whether they do or not, I can feel your Cap Mars.

Attn Readers:

Many moons ago, I was arguing with Ami as usual, and thought about how funny it would be if I dedicated the Elvis song "Run On" to her on her song dedication thread at Sweet Peas.

The lyrics go:

Well you may run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on a for a long time
But let me tell you God Almighty's
Gonna cut you down.

Yup, all in good fun...the thought of how inappropriate it would be to post that song made me laugh out loud to myself while I was grocery shopping.

I got home, eventually got back on LL and...

VIOLETS POSTED THAT SONG TO AMI ON THE DEDICATION THREAD!

Only, coming from Violets, it was non-insulting and more like a tribute to Ami's religious bent.

STILL. That is a very out-of-date, uncommon, never-thought-about song, and she posted it exactly while I was thinking about it!!!!

Yes, I know how you are feeling about the cold. That's why I moved. I couldn't take it anymore. Although sometimes I wish I didn't.

About what you said about the song and freaky psychic coincidences - I have them all the time too!!!! Here and in regular life. They sometimes stop me dead in my tracks and remind me of how connected everything is.

Here's a weird one:

Yesterday morning I was walking my dog....I live downtown (near a busy homeless shelter) and in an area where a lot of homeless, drug addicts, schizophrenics and the like walk around. A man rode by on his bike yelling at the top of his lungs that he was a "cowboy , the biggest baddest cowboy in town and how he would kill that mofo, nobody knows who they're messing with etc on and on (i heard him coming from quite a distance) and this that and the other thing (i will leave out all the profanities). Ranting and raving angrily, yelling like a cracked out lunatic. I'm thinking "Oh **** . There he is" when I saw him and just tried to play it cool. He noticed me and snapped out of it for a second and said "Oh, hello ma'am." I said "Hi." smiled and he continued on his horse -- I mean bike . Thank god he did too.

It got me thinking about how I should probably carry mace or a knife and my mind was going on about that. Next thing, a different guy rounds the corner across the street from me carrying a beat up cardboard box. He yells towards me in a spanish accent something about a knife. I'm like.....oh god....what? Instead of ignoring him and potentially ******* him off by doing so, I calmly smiled and said: "What?" He asked me if I wanted to buy a knife and pointed to his box. Saying he'd sell it too me really cheap for $8. I played it cool and politely said, "No, thanks man. I don't even have ten cents to my name. Good luck though.." and smiled and continued walking. He just laughed and said "Okay." and went about his way.

I found it so strange that I was thinking about how I should maybe carry a weapon - a knife to be exact and then almost instantly some guy appears to see if I want to buy one off of him. Talk about freaky.

I'm just glad these people don't mess with me for whatever reason.
