{I would have filled the page with sparkly array of boxes and trees, but the new site I had found with a myriad of GREAT smilies is no longer available to my computer here. *sad* ~boo hoo?
.. It was surely FUN decorating my posts the variety of these. I had three sites found-- one went EVIL!! LOL-- Last week I had to delete once off my fav list, as it caused computer to seize.
.. Then this morning, my computer won't allow going to the best site I had found (with the sparklies!!).
.. Today, There is only one other smilies space I can use... I'll have to explore it more thoroughly.}
*~

So, having said THAT---
can't find the smilie I saw for the following holiday...

Happy start of Kwanzaa for those Celebrating.

What an amazing coincidence --

Each year January 1 and 2nd, The Sun in Capricorn marks the beginning of the New Calendar Year on the following placements in my chart--

22540 Mark in Capricorn 10.08-rx
P.o.Marriage Capricorn 10.23
P.o.Asurance Capricorn 10.59

then

3241 Yeshuhua-rx Capricorn 11.32 {Jesus}
on
F.S. Nunki 11.46
- http://astrologyking.com/nunki-star/

Today transiting ----
30 Urania {muse of astronomy astrology, and Holy Spirit*}
joined
The SUN Capricorn,
55576 Amycus {Shining Light of Love and Beauty}, and
81 Terpsichore {muse of Dance}

making a triple conjunction ON my Yeshuhua Capricorn 11+
in H1-sag *jawdrop*

Transiting Mars in Scorpio 14+ was on my P.o.Astrology H11.
With Jupiter at 17 Scorpio.
My Saturn-rx Scorpio is 16+(17).

I have had this song in my spirit.

Ancient carol traditionally sung during Christmas Time.

I spent the day in a strange wonder....

The triple conjunction felt like God was smiling.

Snow!!

We went below freezing a few nights now.
Glad my outdoor plants made it through.

I've been bundling up for my walks... forgotten what it takes to brave cold temps. Sure glad I didn't give away some key winter apparel right now.

I know that the flights/jets have slowed their numbers. The ones that ARE flying, the frigid air seems to make resonance worse? They make an awful resonance when they fly over this building... {My head has been thankful for the slow down--- but the *sonics* are STILL really tough to take. Day after day. Limiting my life to daily-hunkering down. Survival. Congratulating self for making it, bearing through small periods at a time.}

Good to be where it's warmer-- omg! Heart goes out to friends involved in the Below Freezing chills, Hurricane-Snows.

I lived in New England States as a child.
Nor'easters are serious.
My parents didn't have a phone.
People saw house packed and doors blocked in huge drift.
They came to dig out our home.
Dug a tunnel-- I remember looking down through it.

I know 'cold' weather.

Recalling one winter in my 1st marriage, where the oil in our tank had turned into jelly. I was glad I chose a home with an open-layout. The fireplace was in the center, and came with an insert/heatilator (convection) that directed heat out towards the open living room space.

I had had our first baby. We had a high-back wing-style colonial sofa---- Took that piece of furniture and placed it right up in front of the fireplace. Yeah, there's a REASON WHY they made that kind of furniture in those colonial days. Warms the space between fireplace and couch.

My daughter stayed comfortable sleeping and playing in that warmed space. .. haha. Good thing she was still breast-feeding in those days! Didn't have to bother with warming-up bottles.

Our water pipes froze in a remote part of the house. Took a plumber to come add a heat-chemical to our fuel-tank, to liquefy the jell. (We added blankets on top of it. Looked like a horse on the side of our house!! LOL) The plumber said we were VERY VERY lucky our water pipe running under the concrete under the threshold of back door near the family room door hadn't split-open from frozen water. He used a 'torch' to melt that place on the slab floor.

Always loved having a home with a fireplace. Cozy, and having an insert there for those times for efficiency was a Blessing.

I've used kerosene heaters too...
running those is its own art!

Recalling too..

The time I spent Christmas/ New Years 1980 taking care of a family's property (with goats, dogs, fish, and kitties) for 6 weeks, up in the Columbia/GrassValley area in Cali.

Owner was a 'professional man' who gave up a lucrative career in a city, to move to a cabin in the mountains there with his wife and daughter...
When his father died, he was the executer of the of the Will. Needed about a month to 6 weeks time to do probate matters.
These were friends of my roommate at the time, who 'volunteered' me to go live in their place and take care of the animals.
(Of course, I agreed-- with a humorous stipulation?? Said I'd do it for free if he'd get me a Christmas tree...

He CLIMBED a 400 foot tree, lopped off the small Christmas tree on top, and had it there-- ready, and decorated with lights-- for my enjoyment.
I was non-plussed that he would actually go to that much trouble-- even the risk of a climb like that! wow.)

Made me aware for the rest of my life, that at the TOP of EVERY pine tree, there's a Beautiful Christmas tree. *Heaven, Star, Heart*

Was a very sacred Christmas/NewYear 1980 for me, spent in meditation, prayer. (Also working on an editing project for someone. That's why my roommate knew I'd jump at the chance to have the quiet place to myself)

An incidental experience,
I heard a Voice speak the name of one of the Characters of God, called, Adonai
{The Lord, Your Master... i.e./GURU}.

Never knew the meaning of that Name until 11 or 12 years had passed-- I was in a class in Bible school, and when I heard there was such-a-name, and 'what' it meant?? it extremely FLOORED me-- layed-flat, humbled-out, 3D.
You see?....
In that time in the mountains, I had been begging God to 'show me my guru'-- inspired by the book and way I read that Yogananda himself had cried out for his.

I heard a Voice speak a Name to me in the spirit.

Breathed to me the word 'Adonai'...
repeated again, then it vanished.

Came out of that meditation, stopped-cold by the word. Mused with perplexity how I had 'no idea' what that word meant. ...
Then simply, resumed my practice.

The name Adonai had actually been a supernatural answer for a crave and longing-cry I had.

So... back to the place I stayed.

In the little cabin, there was wood burning stove that had to be stoked in order to keep myself and the indoor animals warm.

The owner was proud that he had himself installed some indoor plumbing (a toilet, and shower stall) in time for my visit and stay.

(The teepee villager individuals and children in that area would go out into the woods, with a shovel, to 'do' their business! .. No plumbing.)


Also experienced what the term 'deafening silence' meant--

It was sooo quiet there in the mountains that my ears were filled with a roar of the sound of blood rushing and pulsing through those organs, for a few days... The hearing adjusted itself to its new norm, and calmed down. Everything clear. Just the loudness of the mountain creek running through that property, just past the small barn that housed the goats.

That was an interesting time....
Cash didn't have any Value up there--
They used a barter system.

The goats ran out of bales of alfalfa pretty soon after the owners left.
I had to find a place that sold it. Was told by some locals that the people (who lived in teepee village) had alfalfa available.
They wouldn't take my cash.
Had to muck-out a stable to 'buy' those ornery goats their favorite food.

While I mucked away, (which I really didn't mind), I was able to converse with the locals who stood spectating. Good sharing.

I had read Paramahansa Yogananda's book called Autobiography of a Yogi. The Bhakti {Devotion} approach to worshipping God matched and appealed to me. Yogananda (and his community) also Loved and Kept Christ in their devotions and Hearts.

So-- I found out through those standing there, that there was an ashram of the Devotees of Yogananda only a few miles from the road from the place I was 'tending'.

Further, they were going to be celebrating the Birthday of Jesus Christ in their next services. Upon receiving the invitation to be a part of the ceremonies, I went to it. Spent the day in meditation, chanting, and songs with them.

TODAY... is

The Birthday of Sri Paramahansa Yogananda (Jan 5).

I Celebrate the Anniversary of his Incarnation today, and thank God and him for the contribution he made to my own spiritual enhancement in my 20s-- through his book, his songs, his spirit.

This is a messy post....
I haven't proofed it, to organize paragraphs.
I know myself--- I would probably want to just delete the whole post.

But it's better to take the chance to 'say'.. than to assume y'all are perfect mind-readers. LOL

Starting with an illustrative story---
Went to my volunteer job yesterday...

Was in the chair, in front of computer screen wrestling with the number of calls coming in, subconsciously aware of heightened-level of sonics (turns out the rooftop HVAC was troubled, and there was added 'debris' in the air from big trucks outside the window, plus the terrible resonance formed from cars in the intersection waiting on the light to turn...).

Now all of that was 'in addition to' having had to stand the jet-traffic, parties, firecracker celebrations, gnarly fridge, a minibus van that had idled for hours, the teen and his friends doing 'sonic-games' under the same roof as us on the end-row apartment-----

The phones had stopped ringing... I was waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, ... then ... I realized 'how sick' my body felt in that instant. The headache and nerveSystem just having 'had it' ... And I felt so helpless...

Then.... my face watered. Yeh, there's a name for it--- it's called spontaneous tears (otherwise known ~maybe as crying?). Yeh... my face was crying... without me having connected-thoughts and emotions about it-- so I can 'stand' things I MUST tolerate?

I saw my Gemmy buddy supervisor (who's desk is in the cove-entrance) appear at our door-frame-- I perceived that it was just-simply to refresh and change what she was working on in that moment.

Coming over to 'just be present', basically. Nothing else. Maybe just wanting to gab a bit.

No one's phones were ringing. The air was pregnant for someone to break silence.

Now, I'm a bit of a comedian, and I know my Gemmy-bud LOVES dry humor. That is something she and I toggle back and forth with-- covering ALL kinds of subjects-- nothing barred.

I looked at her across the room there from me, and I said, 'I need a hug'.

Well, omg, if there's someone that will give hugs, it is SHE.

My face had ceased its tears. No evidence.

She said, what's going on? ...

At which point I broke down in these light tender tears watering down my face.

(And I know that she DOES know what's going on-- she is sensitive and considerate and aware of everything with me. I had started confiding things, about my living-situation, with her in little bits at a time, since last October when I had had the misunderstanding that rm was throwing me out?)

I said to her (and the two others in the room who were 'there' for me), it's the nerve-headache thing.... You KNOW the doctors said there is NOTHING that can be medically done to help me. I'm in almost constant pain (or extreme botherations) from my environment. ... I said, I'm so sorry about the fact I'm crying right now?, but things feel extra bad for me today.

She is such a sensitive strong encourager.
She said, NEVER give up hope.
Medical science is making NEW innovations, every single day.

At which point I quipped,
I know. 'Chiron' will be heading into Aries later this year!
At which point, everybody started to laugh with me. The new volunteer-recruiter person in the office said, YOU WOULD be on top of that, wouldn't you?... *light laughter*


Then my Gemmy said, oh yeah... I know the 'hood where you live is the Spanish section? She said, they LOVE their fiestas and celebrations... hinting at her empathy for 'what' I must have just gone through this past weekend, AND, for all the holiday parties we've just had.

I felt so cared-for in that moment.

The other new volunteer phone woman (an elderly retired re-firing-type Sun Virgo conjunct my Moon), made more comments about the 'hood. She said the name of a street? I said yes. She says, ah, she knows the main streets here VERY well.
(Street had just been in the news about home-invasion crime-- group of male youths with bats?)

Phones started having incoming calls again...
*back to work*


Yes. In that time period when I had the first tears start to fall, my phone hadn't received a caller for several minutes...

I NEEDED those calls to KEEP coming in--- focusing on the callers lets me compartmentalize and set the pain/discomforts into the background, while I concentrate with all my mind and heart on 'how' I can help this person seeking Right-resource advice (or, an appointment if they meet criteria), on the phone.

Been doing that for over a year now. *star*

Just before I slipped out of the building, my Gemmy-bud suggested lightly-gently to me...
Maybe it's time to think about making an appointment to sit down together, and begin the application-process for a Section 8 Housing for you? She added-- it takes 3 (even 4?) years-- there's a LONG waiting list. But at least, it will get me into the 'queue'?
.. I reminded her of the voucher-experience I had had, and the blackballing that my record was subjected to-- (for completely unintended 'situational' thing that wound up whistle-blowing, that got some folk 'revealed' for frauds-- let-go, fired, and eventually had some put into jail in its broader wake).

I have come to realize too, astrologically, that is an effect that my SN-Mercury opp Galactic Center does? .. Plus, I know several asteroids that relate to this too.. that it has been a really strong presence in my chart?

This woman is awesome...
She's been in that line of work for a Jupiter-Cycle.

I remember a call that came in and had stumped me. I asked. She thinks, grabs an out-of-the-box idea out of thin-air, and calmly said to ask the caller. The answer was YES.

*jawdrop-- firecrackers* *~spooky ~spooky ~spooky!!* LOL

She has known battered-women, and abused persons. Her answer is that Victims have 'a signature imprint' and tend to repeat errors...

Actually, we all think she's missed her calling as a psychic!! LOL

When I leave that relationship with her, I would love to give her a knick-knack small-crystal ball, in remembrance.

She made me cry (almost) the day I was trying to delicately 'explain' some things (in that crisis last fall) between rm and me... I was being very very careful and kind in my speech, and being 'equal' and fair about what I was saying -- and she pulls no punches and says dryly calmly (caringly), oh. you mean he's a narcissist?

Shock shock shock... stunned, and laughed.
I choked, took a breath, and said--
Okay. yeah. (omg. ... )

So.... I just thank God every day, for the insights this woman has given me, into people and hidden agendas, and into my own self. More places to realize where I need to grow.

~*~*~

So, I've kind of felt 'imploded' and crunched-in a bit here...
like a gasoline-container that has had its sides sucked-in by environmental physics phenomenon.

Being in this place, long long long term...

It is JUST time to say goodbye to it now. It's not just painful, every single every single every single day--- it has begun to wear INTO a place of feeling like giving up on a future for my life.

How can I do ANYTHING, without being somewhere that SUPPORTS my health, my resting, recuperating. Learning how to 'live' again?

I am NOT a depressed-person--- I am mostly very vibrant (with quietness too).

THIS is a red-flag to me, that if it's getting down to the place of me feeling like I've given up that there's a future for me??? ... well, it's time to turn... towards MOVING on.

....

I've been trying to go back into my inner-imprints memory files. I have traveled and lived in various places throughout the US.

I am also vividly recalling how it "felt" to be on the west coast...
* The Pacific has a way 'different vibe' and personality than the Atlantic.
* There was not a 'sense of home' on the west-ocean.

I recall that the 'history-vibe' was different there for me too? The East coast is (for me) has a much 'richer' warmer, older, even aristocratic vibe-- like a European flavor?

I would desire that my relocation KEEPS a Sag-Ascendant.
That is just SOOO me. Haha, 'The Quest'!

I have a Saturn Scorpio in the 11th House. I remember reading in Barbara Hand Clow's book that the 11th is actually the best spot for a Saturn.
I would WANT to be able to 'keep' Saturn IN the 11th-- if I had to, maybe just a tad-'touch' of the H12 cusp?
And-- I want my Saturn to be useful.

I know that a Saturn in H12 could accentuate or highlight an isolative, even depressive feeling for me? I need to keep myself LIFTed OUT of H12? and to be MORE involved with peers, collaborations.

I need to be among a group of souls, 'good-people' souls.. who are bright, and who Care.

I will always keep an interest in astrology.

I am intrigued by politics.. a bit. LOL

general ..
Publishing fields,
Imaginative arts.

Exploring various ideas...
(I am open to tweaking whatever?)

When I heard someone say a new side-project he was heading towards the other day, while I listened, I noticed how 'on flow' I had been when I thought about graphic-projects I had had ideas for --
tUranus is coming back to revisit that spot soon.

(My initial idea had a tie to using astrology with it...
but, willing to just do just 'plain vanilla'-- no astro, not as fun?
had that other loose-end dangling of the other idea-- not as glamorous.)


tUranus will be heading into Taurus to enter my 5th house. If I stay on the East coast, my relo will STILL have that in the 5th-- Creative, Arts flair to it.
After a while, it will surge my Venus Taurus.
I have Venus H5 quintile Uranus H8.
I know that this is one of the indicators of an art-kind of related talent. (As is my 10th Neptune conjunct P.o.Arts, and Urania on Spica.)

(When I say Art--
I'm talking about compiling visual graphics, and using music, writings, person's creative writings and lyrics, stories, films? -- I'll throw in Highly Inspirational Leanings ~perhaps???? *grin*.)

I know I'm pretty good at critiquing other people's work, and offer suggestions.

I'd love to work at some projects that involve any kind of Arts like that.

As I'd said before--- I KNOW I have sooo much (too much) still to 'learn'...
(sort of overwhelming to think, but not 'not-do-able').

I'm 'behind' on some basic technology (don't have equipment)-- and, with the right teacher or mentor, I'm a gobbling 'quantuum leaper' when it comes to learning.

First, I have to 'grok' it (go deep), but ONCE I understand some things on 'that' level-- the rest just naturally cascades and un-ravels. haha,
Going slow, going deep, in order to go fast.
I chunk-learn. I monster-eat? LOL. ...
*looks*.. a ketu-Mercury Gem'er?

I stop and rested a moment...
yep. ugh. My body still feeling like crap, still throbbing a bit. (Haven't taken tieylenol since yesterday... maybe I should go get some. Give my body some soothing.)

But I'm feeling MUCH better right in this moment, than what I had over the past 24 to 48 hours.

On one hand, I am behind on (more modern) living skills? ... I've been here over 10 years. The 'little' details of things will need to be refreshed-- and plans drawn out for what would be best for me.

Certainly too--- I have a life-long terrible time with understanding applications (of any kind) for the first time, forms, figuring taxes, etc.
{Thank God my Gemmy-bud offered assistance with understanding and filling-in some. -- And!, I had gone to a training for specific forms, last Harvest season. haha, she knows I'm a stickler for coding things as exactly-close as I can, for the work I do for them.}

I'm in a 'precarious' set of years too-- right now I still receive disability monies... which right now I AM physically disabled as far as horrible-*sonics* problems are... And sometimes I'm scared of me NOT being able to take 'just any' kind of place.
{{And! I know that my health re sonics IMPROVES when I'm in a place that is Right. I would really really really hope that I can re-gain some of my health that I gave up here, as *jets roar taking off over building*? hahaha)

The Section 8 places would be maybe even worse than here, with rm? Those places are dank, and in super-bad 'hoods.

Oh. Rm made good on his promise to give me my own computer for my backroom/bedroom. A monitor and desktop, Dell Inspiron, basic. I haven't taken it out of the box, because I KNOW I can't 'live' here anymore... An I have no idea 'where' I could end up. I thought I'd be nice and leave it 'in the box' so it could be returned, if needed.

I'd have to 'get rid of' my astrology bins, and journal-bins, in order to have 'fit' the computer into my room. A bit of an O'Henry short story there? about the pocketwatch and the hair-comb?

Before I would 'throw away my life'?? (Noooo), I wanted to give it a few more weeks, to see if anything 'shows up' for me, in terms of a prospect for a future?
{Believe me, this is sooooo twilight-zone--- I have NO tangible proofings that ANY thing exists in the real-world realm-- this is like taking it on faith, right now.)

I don't have a vehicle.
I was 'waiting' for a relo to renew my driver's license I had let go of. (They 'raised' the price from 25 to 80 dollars to renew your license... ).
Cost of vehicles are expensive.
Costs here are RISING-- apartment prices are going OUT of this world-- which is one of the reasons rm has decided to 'stay here' ... I can't 'do' here.

I realize how precarious my life is right now. It's like being a trapeze artist-- I have no idea if the plunge I take is to my detriment and actual real death, or if I'm going to be 'caught' and flung UP to new level, new pole. New life.

Rm drives, and I've been going with him on errands... After riding city bus for decades now, it makes me scared to see things from a car-windshield's perspective!! It's like, ~yikes! ~yikes! .. as my foot tries to stomp on an invisible brake on the passenger side.

======================== STOP ================

Okay----------
The Nightly News is on.
Speakerphones off my head.

I'm watching and hearing that there have been mudslides in California..
Oprah's house affected.
That 14-year old girl was freed!!! {{Thank GOD!!}}

So many tragedies right now.

Including politically ...

I'd be glad to receive offers ----
to add my energies to whatever could be 'most-needed' -- to 'help'?

What could I physically do-- for an organization, individual, or group-- that could do an end-run around my current limitations?

My God My God My God !!!!!

So many NEEDS in this world right now.

Caught this story on the internet news.
http://www.yahoo.com/news/man-aided-hospital-patient-discharged-gown-shocked-035910 477.html

I want to applaud the good-souled man who cared-enough to come to the side of this woman and SAVED her LIFE.

quote----

BALTIMORE (AP) — The man who said he came to the aid of a woman discharged from a Baltimore hospital wearing only a gown and socks on a cold winter's night, says he was left outraged and stunned at how she was treated.

Imamu Baraka, identified in local reports as the person who sought to help the woman, told The Associated Press he was so angry he decided to record Tuesday night's events on cellphone video, fearing no one would believe him if he reported a woman being left at a bus stop like that.

"I saw the unthinkable: another human in a wheelchair being wheeled out in the dead of cold," he said in the phone interview Thursday evening.

He described frigid temperatures in the 30s and a cold wind blowing at the woman's hospital gown, exposing her to the elements.

Baraka, who said he has a psychotherapy practice in a building across the street from the Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus, said he rushed back to his office, retrieved his cellphone, returned and hit "record" while growing increasingly angry.

end/Quote

In the article, the Baltimore Hospital said it was an 'isolated' incident. I HIGHLY completely doubt it. They just happened to 'get caught'.

When I was homeless in early 2000s, THIS happened to 'ME TOO'. I have both Witnessed it, and experienced the 'terror' of that. I had NO ONE in my life-- and no where to go for help. I survived, all by my self-- in both cold-weather and high temps hiding out, maintaining as much invisibility as I could in the metal-sheds I tried day after day to be strong and push-through doing.

I have SUFFERED egregious abuses in 'the system'.... that really doesn't help people. At least, not unless you're the right 'demographic' being served-- which I didn't quality for. Falling in-between the cracks.

It is ONLY by the Grace of GOD that I STILL live and breathe, right now.

I have LITTLE doubt that this happens EVERYWHERE--
and the public has LONG been kept blind.

Or it is 'softened', or forgotten so easily after it is witnessed as a news-story.

There is so much bias, hatred, and prejudices held against people who get thrown to the curb, in a state of abject poverty.

There have been videos made of abuses, for YEARS, that have been seen in brief news and by internet youtubes.

The problem of abuse is TOO BIG, too widespread, so ~heinous that it shocks the good-sense of the public into blunt splitting numbness-- and unreality.

I too-- love that they show WELCOMED lighter-sides of news. Of humor. Of stories of small cute animals, children, of people who have 'made it' in life. It helps mask the terror and reality of what happens to people.

The coworkers in these places who WITNESS these kinds of abuses, to save their own jobs, keep complicit silence. These have given subconsciously their ascent... to MUCH wrong-doing and suffering.

Unfortunately too, many sadists gravitate towards (and are hired-into) these fields.

Their sensitive talented coworkers (with a true heart to help) are too 'frightened' to say anything..

It's a very very very subtle form of control or 'repressing' others from 'doing the RIGHT thing.'

I openly factually calmly directly asked one before-- 'why' she never reports abuse.
She said that IF she had 'reported' these (true) wrong-doings, she knows she (and a few others) would be fired. The amount of 'control' is that strong.

Her rationale???, was that BY her NOT-reporting ABUSE, it allowed her to 'be there' and to be able (during her/their too-brief hours) to protect and provide perhaps a break, and oasis of care?

{{What kind of corrupt people-in-systems do we have that allows people to USE that excuse? It perpetuates the problems.}}

So much Hatred-- devaluing and mistreatment of 'HUMAN BEINGS' who are considered and treated as "less-valuable" than their own self?

Anti-Love.

This story (of this woman in Baltimore) is just the tiniest-tip of an UGLY-MOUNTAIN.

THIS is what happens to people who have NO family, nor 'interested-persons' in them.

This is what happens to you, when you suffer a state of being 'handicapped-infirmed', old, or homeless-- or all-of-the-above.

This lack-of-humanity is ubiquitous.

I APPLAUD again, when Observant, Sensitive, GOOD SAMARITANS come along--- such as the man who confronted the security guards, and asked for the supervisors in this woman's case.

Thank you sooo much for Caring, dear Kind Sir.

THANK GOD for The People who dare to act on the behalf of someone else, and PERFORM GOOD --- in order to save a Life.

There had been someone last week whose angel-messages had said to look at bars of grief (my paraphrase).

Just ~creepy happens that I had been having thoughts about my grandmothers (both of them). I really didn't pay a lot of attention to it, except for this outside-thing that kept saying to just 'note' the scenes.

You all know... I feel terrible in my body. I see transits in the future months that light upon my "Chiron" Aquarius 5+.

I also know that many in my age-circle are going through their tUranus square Uranus opp Neptune; with tChiron trining our Uranus.

For me, tChiron has been OPP my Moon too...

So anyway....

I came upon (by chance) a video of Allison DuBois being interviewed...

Started to watch it, with all the trepidations around hits to my Chiron Aqua H2capricorn.

Still holding space with that angel-message about 'grief'?, and the passive thoughts I've been having about my grandmothers, some of the things in the vid just brought some things home to me, for a passage of time.

BOTH my grandmothers-- I TREASURE their memories sooo much in my Heart.

My Scorpio Grandma, and my Libra one.

Also been having those kinds of thoughts about my Father -- Scorpio G'ma's son.

I'm going to leave the vid from Allison DuBois.
And her chart.

I looked up some of her placements.

Her Sun-NN Aqua is ON my Chiron.
Her Moon-Saturn Taurus is on position of my Fixed Star Alcyone 29.22--

In my notebook is scribbled --
Brightest star of the Pleiades.
Wanting to gain insight...
Link to Death, 'mourning and sorrow.'


I had 'felt' to look up her Mars Aries degree first, and my asteroids there are...

4451 Grieve (grieve) Aries 19.07
2540 Blok (block) Aries 19.14

This is IN my 4th House Aries... deepest psychological wounds?

Makes other really cool connections all over my chart, that I don't have time right now to delineate.

My Scorpio Grandmother's name asteroid is conjunct my Sun Natally, and today she is on 3+ Scorpio (my Father's Sun-Jupiter degree) and my Juno-Scorpio 4+. H11 -- friends

My Libra Grandmother's Sun is on my Hygeia Libra H10 .. trine my Sun. Trine Chiron Aquarius....

tJuno in Aqua is conjunct tHygeia today ON my
22 Kalliope Aquarius 11.06 {muse of epic poetry, and learning; eloquence; frequently represented with a tablet of scroll and a stylus (writing implement); journalism, tech-writing, researcher, documentary; she was the mother of Orpheus, bestowed her gifts on kings and princes),
96 Aegle Aquarius 11.11 {splendor from good health}
**P.o.Friends Aquarius 11.24**
An Asteroid related to 'Vision'
An asteroid belonging to a doctor's name who does forensic examinations and 'autopsies'.

In one of the final letters of correspondence between my Scorpio Grandmother and I, she closed saying that she Prays that I will have Good and Faithful Friends in Life.
{{Thank you for your having been MY friend, Memere!!}}

Anyways again ....

We're going out tonight......

There's a TECHNOLOGY Science exhibit in town, having to do with Possible Future innovations, interactivity...

This will allow me to 'steep' in it in a 'physical' way-- as you know, I had some 'ideas' for projects using astrology.

I'll get more of a 'feel' on it tonight.

I'll stop delineating--- rm giving me 'the cues' to go.
