There's a sense under the surface of me of feeling more sensitive and exposed. I think it's usually 'always' there, but I'm good at putting it just-under-surface. Gently, I'm even feeling vulnerable that the-vulnerability is there. And it's the human side of me that lays listening under the strongest exterior.

I wonder if it's the Chiron energies. (Of course, it's never just 'one' thing... ). I've tried to identify the various spaghetti strands. Some astrologers identified that with Chiron's energy, there is a 'hurt'-sense. When Chiron is stimulated, a pinch-y kind of delicate pain-smarting-hurt is networked all-over-- A hurt-sense, like streaky very very thin lighted-network of sensory-soul is present. It's almost existential.

So. It's a new awareness of something that's ancient and always been there. {{And the multiple stories of everything that's been in the news recently, is just hurting or highlighting wounds received, as a woman {now elder} who grew up fighting and existing in a culture of male attitudes that were not-fair to the women of the 1900s. The old patriarchy is ugly in its dismissive refusal to be educated about women and their work, their prosperity that was enmasse ripped-off, and sensitivity to their sexual experiences and assault-experiences.}}

I saw the movie The Shape of Water last night. When you see the creature's blue light-streams light-up on his body circuits. Yes, it's like that... It's a pain-sense elevated and transmuted plus Compassion. (The trailer doesn't show the lighting of his circuits.. so Beautiful.)

I think this movie, this trailer, is sooo apropos of Chiron in Retrograde at 0.Aries, on its journey going BACK into the Piscean Seas soon.

This 'creature' has a human-like presentation, including the faculties to feel and communicate (and Heal!, we find out later), in combination WITH an aquatic-animal human body.

Meet Chiron, not as half-horse centaur on the lands and mountains, but as a Creature of the mystery and depths of an aquarian-Pisces Age?

quote
The Global Poverty Project’s vision is a world without extreme poverty, within a generation.
To reach this end the Project utilizes the power of education, communications, advocacy, campaigning and the media to try and advance the movement to end extreme poverty.

They focus on building a global movement for change:
mobilizing people to 'make a difference' now,
and changing the systems and policies that keep people in poverty.

They do this in two ways:
• Campaigning for government, business and consumer action that will create important systemic change for the world’s extreme poor, and
• Building a movement that engages and educates people, and supports them to take simple but effective individual actions for change.

Wow!

Cool Find!!
While I was searching for other information, I came across a rare in-person video interview with Linda Goodman!!

She commented that Gemini's cut their teeth on dictionaries. That was absolutely true about me! I spent hours of my youth in my room devouring words in the dictionary, and reading volumes of the Collier's encyclopedias my parents purchased for the home.

The internet here has been glitchy.
Linda G's anniversary of death is Oct 21, not the 23rd.
Once the computer simmers down, I'll try to edit and correct that error above.

Happy Birthday to Eleanor Roosevelt!
- http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Roosevelt,_Eleanor

One of the ways she stands out to me is a personal one, attached to a strong memory of a Life-Change for me. I recall having to say good-bye to my maternal grandmother (Libra) who was one of my caretakers in the early years. My Libra Grandmother admired Eleanor Roosevelt VERY much!

Mrs. Roosevelt died Nov 7, 1962, while my family had finished the final preparations for an out-of-state relocation, saying goodbyes to the family of all extendeds, to drive 400 miles south during the dark hours of the night of November 11/12.

I was 7 1/2 yrs old. Remember waking up in the car, to a frigid stiffly-crisp morning. My father was waiting on the Mayflower Moving Van to arrive. It was a few hours late!

I marveled at the Full Moon that was still big in the sky after sunrise, fully lit!, in a cloudless clear azure morning sky. It was my first impression, waking to that first day. A phenomenon called Earth-Shine!

Was a Full Moon in Taurus, 19+,
relo November 12, 1962 EST
with Venus retro in Scorpio 20+ {VSP 22+}
(other relevant aspects, I'll skip)

Eleanor Roosevelt ..
"Eleanor was appointed by President Truman to the US delegation in the United Nation General Assembly, a position she held until 1953.
President Truman called her the 'First Lady of the World'.
While at the UN, her most outstanding achievement was chairing the commission that drafted the
1948 Universal Declaration on Human Rights.

This past weekend was hard-- especially sonically in the 'hood. My headache was strong, and I have no escaping once it hits a certain level. It's like a milder pain that keeps ricocheting, as my outer-world shakes the body!! I felt sooo uncomfortable!!! (and still not back to a good level today)

EVENT--
So. I was NOT in best-shape to meet with the younger scorpio coworker I have from my volunteer job, on Saturday morning, during HER free-time.

A few weeks ago, she generously approached and offered to create an updated and electronic computer resume for me.

In the last few weeks, I had to dig into my storage bins, {mess up my room}, to find the work-binder full of every resume {with commendations}, I've ever had.

Talk about a journey!! Nostalgic. I've REALLY had a very full life, and many rich and VARIED experiences.

It was hard enough of an experience to look back at my LONG past--- reviewing and 'seeing' everything I had done that went wrong, and, was right.

It was a trip back through All the windows of various periods of my life!! Each almost-insignificant line on that resume is a RICH Portal that leads to stores of experiences.

Pre-apologizing right now for the quality of this post. I was researching some of my chart transits the other day, and, I was 'relieved' to find that I'm having a "negative-thinking" kind of transit???
.. Yep. The usual bouncy-me, has felt a bit more flattened right now. And, I feel more wearied recently {LOL .. aww *tiny violins*}.

I'm soooo glad I have enough astrology-knowledge in me to understand what's going on. *This too shall pass* .. after a longer while.

I am also having some more-exhilarating types of transits, till the 20th.

Thanks to tJupiter in Scorpio {in my 12th now}, which is in trine aspects to my 8th House Cancer placements and sextile the Moon Virgo H(9).
tJupiter is coming into trine with natal Jupiter Cancer.
{tChiron Pisces trining those too? oh gosh}

I've got other significant transits too.. but I'm not going to spend time delineating.

*~~~

An Offer came in---
The reason this young Scorpio coworker {who works under contract, ending in December} offered to help with creating a resume, {besides her being a Beautiful soul}, is that my volunteer-place has found a way to finagle my getting 'paid' {extremely low token-wage} for what I have been "already" doing for them {for the past almost-two years} for free.

It will give me {the illusion of} receiving money---

I say 'illusion' only because 'at the same time', I'll be incurring higher costs to myself, with another kind of potential deep deficit involved?

I must be prepared to spend 18 more hours of my time with them, on a weekly-basis, doing the same thing I've been doing.

{It will cut my availability to LL presence on the internet drastically, as well as astrology time.}

I'm STILL "just thinking" about it----

I HAVE to weigh my own costs--

It would possibly mean 'losing' the present excellent healthcare I have, because I would "come under" the hiring-temp-agency's medical plan. This {bare-bones plan?} would usurp what I have as the "primary" insurance, essentially making my current excellent plan a 'secondary' insurance {that only handles the left-over that the bare-bone policy would cover?}.

This would constitute a LOSS.

This would COST ME EXTRA MONEY, at doctor visits. I wouldn't be able to choose my doctors. I wouldn't be pulling in enough money for those visits, required quarterly for pharmaceuticals by law now {my Synthroid hormone, and acid-reducer}.

Would my "hiring" essentially WIPE-OUT the benefit-amount I would receive as wage and benefits compensation for my labors??? That's a downhill proposal???
Would I be shooting myself in the foot??

I have SUCH QUALMS about signing up for that agency, BECAUSE of that!!! It will COST me MORE to be hired to that agency to work, and give me enough to actually PAY those costs and live on? *red flag???*

It would block me from certainly moving-out of my situation here, which exacerbates current health problems. I feel like it's just going to create a kind of energetic-deficit too??


The POSITIVE side in this..

The positive was that my volunteer-job found me valuable enough to be WILLING to 'create' a grant-money position for me to get hired, IF I go through this temp-agency they use.

I'd have to put an application in very very soon. That's what creating of the resume was about.

My bosses approached me last month, saying that they would be WILLING to make a space for me to BE there, paying the agency to obtain my services.

I would be hired by the agency, THEN, my volunteer job bosses would be 'bidding' on me, as a temporary.

They said it's always really good when you are hired by the temp-agency WITH people willing to bid on you.

I was told that I am a 'good fit' for their office-- (after being there for the past two years).

I have a POSTIVE effect on the staff.
People leave the office to go home in a "lighter" state, after I've worked my hours.
I am an inspiration and a joy to have around.
(This is the valuable feedback I got!!)

I was also called a 'driven' person...
That perplexed me. After I thought about it, that answer is YES.

I 'am' driven to succeed. I am driven to DO whatever I 'can' do. There is NO mistaking that. When I set a discipline or goal to do something, I apply FULL force to doing it. I have a spirit of Excellence in everything I do.

People in my office recognize that about me.

Anyways.

I get to work my v-job tomorrow.
She will print out my resume on bond-paper.

I STILL have qualms about my insurances.
PLUS the added costs to me.
Would it really be worth my while?
Seems like a step backwards?

I like the tasks I do there.
And, I like to help people.

I like the office-people I have been with.

The office is due to change in the next months, with new people {including new supervisor who will need training}.

Also, the organization if funded by grants and donations, and, there is insecurity.

Available housing {if low-income and on assistance} is not enough in this region. Rents here are atrociously high.

*~~

I know some people are sensitive to energies.

I hope this explains some of what has been going on with me?

I talk about this development, and, would choose rather to labor within astrological fields. I like research, and study. I'd be good with people with that.

I'll come back to post more later if I get good time. I need to do errands right now.

Sorry for the communication slow down...
I've needed more self-care. *sonics, UGH*
BodyBattery wearing down??? oh no.


Surprising too?
Instead of getting "more" religious at this time,

I've been sensing myself back away from institutional religion more than I've felt in years-- It really surprised me. I'm needing to adjust to that, more now.

{This has been developing over the past weeks.}
I am needing to adjust to find a way to help inspire my own self's core-spirituality, without the help of religion involved. ~Feels naked!! LOL

The internet place I've been attending for a handful of years, has become grossly more-openly extremist-right politically. I was NEVER expecting that.

It's playing a part in my inner-support system. I am a person who reaches across the aisle?. I like that! I don't mind people having not-been my political belief system. I can think like BOTH! lol

However, they recently went more "hard-core political" with their message. A few Sundays ago, they crossed a VERY sensitive boundary-line with me. And it helped me to 'recognize' the other *red flags* I'd been sensing and 'just putting up with' inside me.

I vote independently, and tend to be MORE democratic in my choices {as I have a humanitarian bent and flair}. I need to feel comfortable being in my own political skin, while amongst others, trusting and letting my guard down?

I want to share an excellent vid I found, later. S.Gee!!! *thumsup*

There is such an awkward-feeling in me right now, with my posting this. ?????

Like someone has said... it might be better to risk an overshare, than to under-communicate?

And gently, I surrender to you a portion of the burden of interpretation.

I tend to OVER edit, to the point of giving up posting, many times. I block my own self???

So. This post is probably a mess.
I apologize!!!!!!

Yay imperfectness!
And Sending Much Love to All!!! {{ }}

*may re-organize this post, later. maybe*

This is the video I really liked the other day.
It's an introduction to a course this Vedic astrology teacher is giving on Oct 20-21.
{costs too much money for me, oh well! LOL anyways}

The music he uses in the background is perfect!! for the topic.

He describes his (Vedic) scorpio asc sister. I have that Vedic position, WITH lots of H8 Vedic gemini.

I was able to learn, just from listening to this intro to the course.

Sharing it here.
(topic) Your true nature, childhood, astrology and psychological patterning (Sam Geppi, posted Oct 14, 2018) [24:10] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRAFtZ9_7KY

While working on my resume the other day, I got to peek into a part of my life where I had education in psychology, including master's level continuing-education courses, in the post-traumatic fields.
(I never graduated-- so they didn't count!)
I had worked towards two separate Bachelors degrees-- one in psychology, one in music, and had to leave college with only one semester left to finish.
.. Any higher-level courses I've taken never counted, because I didn't have my undergrad degrees.
Later in life when I looked into finishing, I discovered (because of changes in the institution) that I had lost around 2-years worth of credits, in order to work towards at least one of these.
I was busy birthing and raising babies at that time. It felt futile to pursue it as I really didn't have quality time to devote-- so, I gave up on school.)

I have a lot of experience around ptsd.
I have some of it myself. I have been able to minister to people with this before. When I come across victims, I have sooo much empathy. I don't think I've gone into that field in full BECAUSE it is too close to me? It's just been soo excellent that I 'have' been able to relate to injured people, and that I've been able to bring them insight, or just help them have some peace for a while...

*smile, and tears* .. Sometimes, I just wish I could hug-away ALL their hurts. Be Present. Connect. Strengthen-- even without a word spoken.

As I've said before, there are sooo many hurt people in this world. They walk around with this inside them, invisibly-- hidden deep inside.

It's made me a richer person?, although I would NEVER wish some of my (or their) experiences on others.

Wow... The amount of pain, the amount of surviving others have done, even in secret?

It's a very cruel world.
And, the Blossoms that are Crushed,
can give out the sweetest scent?

For every Beautiful Soul...
Thank you for BEING who you are.

Anyways.. In the world right now, there has been so MUCH "real" loss to so many souls. People in sooo much grief. Overwhelmed.

I want to make a piece of it better?? {bheart}

Wishing all those, a Better Day, and for a moment where you can be Still, and that you would find the Beauty somewhere in your life, and be renewed in some small way-- on another Wonderful Day and opportunity on this planet.

You are Beautiful!, AND Needed on this earth.

Good Performed...
{re-posting material I gave in another thread.}
Example of someone with Chiron in the 10th House--

He was and is a rule-breaking innovative maverick {chiron} healer in his career and philosophies. Openly challenged the status-quo with his ideas, and his humanity!

(topic) Patch Adams Compares the Gesundheit Institute to Current Hospitals (posted July 6, 2018) [3:40] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwyw5IIoMD0

yt notes quote--
When I entered medical school, I saw a problem.
Doctors were rude, arrogant people who belittled everyone around them.
When I entered medical school, I wanted to work in a caring profession.
While in medical school, I vowed that I would never be a rude, arrogant doctor.
In the Gesundheit Institute, everyone will be treated with dignity and love.
. . .
The Gesundheit Institute is a 501(c)3 non-profit healthcare organization whose mission is to reframe and reclaim the concept of ‘hospital’.
We are a model of holistic medical care based on the belief that the health of the individual cannot be separated from the health of the family, the community, the society and the world.

Patch Adams is now 73 years old, and still going strong.

We Love You, Patch!
Thank you, and Many Blessings...
