Thanks Randall. I always appreciate your support.

Happy Birthday, Linda Goodman (Apr 9)

- http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Goodman,_Linda

I'm celebrating my VENUS Taurus return.

Went out into the community this afternoon, and just 'talked' to people. I LOVE starting conversations and getting to know a bit about the person in front of me. Had some meaningful exchanges.

I'll be looking up one woman's chart for her to let her know whether she has a last degree Cancer Sun, or is a Leo-- plus tell her the Moon and Ascendant. She said she'd really appreciate that! She was really a kind person.

I was going to go early tomorrow (Tuesday morning) to spend time around the special lake and fountain we have downtown. Swans.

It's a tradition that for my Venus Return, and the few days before my birthday that I go there, to spend some time contemplating, then, drop a flower into the waters. Bought myself a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store. So pretty.

It is supposed to storm tomorrow. Flooding.
I'll have to skip the lake.

Tomorrow is volunteer day, though. I'll see how bad the flooding gets. I'll wear sneakers instead of shoes. (They won't mind.)

Was a Beautiful and interesting day.

(music) Go Lovely Rose (Eric Whitacre, poem Edmund Waller, BYU Singers, lyrics) [4:28] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7nf1agjkBU

lyrics

Go, lovely Rose-
Tell her that wastes her time and me,
That now she knows,
When I resemble her to thee,
How sweet and fair she seems to be.

Tell her that's young,
And shuns to have her graces spied,
That hadst thou sprung
In deserts where no men abide,
Thou must have uncommended died.

Small is the worth
Of beauty from the light retired:

Bid her come forth,
Suffer herself to be desired,
And not blush so to be admired.
Then died-and gone
The common fate of all things rare
May read in thee;
How small a part of time they share
That are so wondrous sweet and fair!

~*

Have a Great Day

Thanks Randall ...
Yes. I have an adaptable nature. I can be in a thick of things, and my mind constantly wheels and turns, searching intensely for how to gather up all the pieces, and find solutions that fit all.

So wild how things assemble, and you can hold the highest and broadest view of the thing, thinking you are by yourself, and find that others are going through that same energetic struggle. It might not be exactly like your own-- but the energy of it is the same.

We've had some *drama* next door. That 'man' who (musically, sonically) frappes against my ultra-sensitive nerve-system (even preventing me from being in the building), is domestically violent to the woman. The woman's mother came to speak to me around midnight Monday, and requested that I call the police when I hear my neighbor in trouble. He beats her up. She STILL lets him come in the building. She has children. He uses drugs, falls asleep. He was supposed to watch his own 4 year old, and he was passed out. The 4 year old was found wandering in the hood naked. One of the neighbors took her by the hand. Had called the police. They found where she lived (next-wall here)-- and the police 'let him off' as though "that happens" and they didn't 'report' him. {big mistake}

So, I was outside drinking my coffee around 7 am, and here he comes... He knocks at her door. She doesn't answer. He starts throwing around the 4 year olds toy car and bikes. Banging in the window.
.. I said to him, I'm supposed to 'call the police' when I see you? ...
.. She lets him in.

She comes out, with her child (to take her to her mom's), and she gets in her car to go to work on time...
.. She says to me that she doesn't know what to do. His clothes are in there. He can't get a job, he would be homeless.. blah blah blah.

I said he beats you.
He's YOUNG and male.
He'll be okay.

I said we were all here (other neighbors) thinking about telling the manager about what's going on.

She says, don't do that. He'll evict me.
I said no... It will give you back-up 'authority' to DO what you MUST do. You have LOVE and SUPPORT from so many people...


*crickets* ...
Those words had a ring and an echo towards my self.

In the midst of my Venus Return, I have it opposite to Saturn-rx Scorpio.

You know.... THAT is a very cruel aspect to have in one's chart. Really enforces a kind of dark isolative wall that says, Nobody loves you. Nobody cares.

That's not true.....
And! .. I've got more to say on that later.
I've had some very interesting reflective thoughts on convos I've had with strangers.

I like matching up songs to aspects.

This is another song... for Venus opp Saturn. (And! LOL, a ptolemiac unaspected sun in the 6th, trine Chiron! *so much love*)

(music) Nature Boy (surreal perf by Aurora) [3:01] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w-bQaysbf0

THIS is one of my strengths.
My own isolation-feeling, WITH a Heart full of Love and Compassion for others, makes of me an strong ally, a strong Care giving human-- sensitivity towards others who suffer inside from sense of bereavements and losses. I 'feel' you. I Care.

Saw a very interesting TV article on a show about synasthetes.

Yes. The World is Blessed with those around.

More later....
Have a Great Day Everyone...
Many virtual *hugs*

Yeah ^ ... My body is just electrified and I feel so very sick when they 'concertize'.

Recently, I get a break towards early morning, as the sun rises... When I get up and run any water in the bathroom, it wakes them up. oh nooo.

My body has feeling sore, raw, and heavy.

So...

Thursday, April 12, once again, the loop repeated. I was dreadfully sonically mercilessly besieged.

Went out to run errands.


Felt so tight, so bound-up--
I stopped by a mainline Christian church on the path back to the bus stop.

Serving at my volunteer job, I'd spoken to people from that church before. They try to connect the indigent population to services, and send clients to us a lot.

Instead of 'just' my saying hello ...
and after some nice solid casual conversation-- I dared to 'ask' for someone to privately talk to. I needed a Listener. I needed to get some of the excess burden I felt, off my chest.

I felt surrounded in an energy that was hard to identify, WHILE being so solid clean CLEAR and soft within.

Their pastor wasn't there, but, the kind much-older African American lady sat with me in the conference room for a while. Afterwards, we held hands, and prayed.

I poured out tears with her, and highlighting some events recently, and, from the past decade, and, relayed a few pieces of my past...

She was able to listen, and to hear and take everything I was 'groping' soooo hard to TRY to say. She was able to bring a perspective-- some nice solid pieces to light that I hadn't considered, and another that I hadn't realized.

Sometimes, I'm 'just so full' ...
that I can't seem to wrap exact-words around things.
(One of my v-job coworkers says she thinks I tend to hold things too close-to-the-vest.)

She said Wisely and simply is that what I need is another place to stay-- to get away from the atmosphere here, so my body heals.

This would allow me to see life differently.

* She pointed out how Rm is 'well' now--
He is retired and is at a point where his health is as good as its ever been--
He does not require my assistance anymore.

* To know that when I leave, I'm not leaving HIM in a lurch or at any point of immediate need. (She looked at it from his perspective first.)

That it's Okay for me to leave him now.


She informed me that the place where I do volunteer work HAS all the papers I'd need to fill out (right there on their premises), that could get in the queue for low-income housing.

Also, because I am a Senior, there would be some funds available to assist with things like utilities.

Next Tuesday,
* I'm supposed to "ASK" my v-job to help me with getting the papers.

* Make an appointment for filling-out the necessary paperwork, that would place me in the waiting line for housing.

She said that if I don't DO a simple step towards getting OUT, then, I will continue to be in agony here-- and that will serve NOTHING ELSE than producing MORE suffering.

Basically she reflected, face to face, person to person, that 'in order to Do Good' I have to take care of ME too.

I can't help others adequately if I don't make my self a Priority, so that I could be in a better way to continue to do Good Works.

She said, then you Count on God's Favor.

Told me to come back to see her next Thursday, to report progress.

... That meant a LOT to me.

I talk to people in the community, in the role as a helper, and resource. I have done my share of adding to people's lives.

~*

The day before my Venus-return journey, I found a "20-dollar bill" on the road. There was no one around.

I used THAT money to 'finance' my Venus-celebration. I had quite a social day...

Bought flowers with the money.
Bought little garnet stud earrings.

Went for coffee at a local hippy-like café, and started a conversation with a table of 4 people there (who happened to be from out-of-town).

The shop where I bought the earrings is the place where I met that girl who was confused about her Sun sign. She said she was 'cusp'. I offered to find out for her.

I called her later with the results.
She has her Sun Cancer 29+,
with Moon Leo 3+

Her Ascendant is Cancer.
She has Jupiter at 24+ Cancer ...
Jupiter, Sun, Moon ...
H1. A leadership position.

I let her know that 29+ Cancer has a special energetic mark-- it's called "The Millionaire's Degree."

She called me back later that evening.
She said how grateful she was to know this about her chart. It lifted her spirits.

In my own fashion... I said how the Universe will reward her, when she works at Building Wealth, and doing it without Greed-- remembering to Do Good to others.

I heard her baby crying in the background.
She's a single mom, not making much money...

I was DELIGHTED to have brought this person some new perspective. (She would not have the money to afford any consultation.)

I pray that I planted a Seed for Prosperity in her mindset-- that she holds space and works towards this (not to benefit self only)-- then she would have God's Added Blessing working with her.

I re-encouraged her, that life is filled with Challenges for the purpose of helping us grow. Never give up the Promise. To hold it to herself.... to look for the times when things DO go right, in the midst of troubles.

Look for the Silver Lining ....

I like being able to Help Others who can't possibly afford any of it themselves... A little bit for them now, will have Dividends for them in their future.

There are a lot of people who can't afford to buy some of the good counsel from products sold behind "Pay Walls".

*~

And for people I meet, to whom it applies, I find myself sooo easily talking about God, and helping them understand things they've read in scripture.

On the God-side of me, I can speak and relate with people who were brought up in my belief system-- that would never darken the door of a church, for reason of injuries they've sustained there.

Locally, over the years, I had been persecuted a bit (by extremist local fundies) for my being involved using the "devil's" tools.

I never ever thought of it in that way.

Symbolically, I've always been able to interpret things Spiritually. (I've done other posts about this).

It INCREASED my Worship and Marvel, my Love for God.
It gave me an Appreciation for just how Complex and Way-Past-Brilliant ..... blows me away.

And for me??, that He so finitely Cares and Loves us... even in our Mother's Womb, when we were being Formed-- DNA of Outstanding Beauty and Craftsmanship.

~*

So-- only choosing ONE???? argghhh

Besides being a GEMINI (*smile*)??--
I'm an older and Experienced person.

I'm also born a Mystic (God) ...
(It was soo cool that a pastor I had recognized that upon first-vibe.)
My Soul is DEEP....
And I've been through soo much.

Also have been known as being a Renaissance-type of person...
I can relate to just about anyone, and find our in-Common place, to converse with beyond-superficial knowledge about so many things.

(humor) Really????? Pin down Just ~one?
(Laughing so hard. *hugs*)
"I Contain multitudes..." `Walt


My email is a little screwed up right now.
I'm glad I got in to read my mail (through a back-door method, until I get clear on 'new contract' they want to me sign).

I have been meaning to 'sign up' for some newsletter accounts, and, Mercury goes direct tomorrow??? LOL

Since some of my peeps are Mercury-influenced-- like myself, with Sun, and a Mercury GEM, with Moon Virgo-- I held my finger over the submitting button, hesitated, then backed out.

It's been refreshing to hear some people (whom I consider VERY knowledgeable) still having problems with using techs and software.

*~

Another thing too -------

Children and Adults,
Starvations.

The Chemical Attacks in Syria ...
And now, US France and Britain, joined forces to retaliate.

I've spent time in Intercession ...
*Blessed are The Peacemakers*

(music) Earth Song (Michael Jackson, perf by Grant Elementary Chorus, 2012) [4:31] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLXhUtmRYQs

I have so much to say...

There are some asteroids pertaining to chemical weapons warfare.
In the USA Chart, t hygeia is conjunct tNeptune. .. near one of those asteroids in her chart in Pisces.

I'll have to delve into those, at another time.

Love to You....

*big breath* .....

Wow! ... I am going to be sooo glad when this heavier vibe is OUT.
Yes, I DO have a Future.

Can't wait for The Time of Refreshing to come.

The New Moon Aries 26.02 tomorrow night will energetically be in the geographic H5!
natal 4th is Aries

When Sun shifts into Taurus later on this week, it will enter my natal H5.

woot woot .....

Going to be soo good to just BREAK off and shuck what is stale and spent and gone. Also, to be done with this sonic health-energy-drainer. It's been like a loose wire dimming me out.

Become re-Sparked, re-Inspired.

I LOVE it!
A new me-- New Starts.


One of the things I've appreciated the MOST, is how many of you 'let me be me' here...

I've worn out the path between hell and back, through my life.

I have SUCH RESPECT that a good number of you 'allow' me to Express the way that is core and central to me.

Yesterday/today--- April 13/14 is the 31st Anniversary of the Religious Conversion Experience I had during the Total FM Eclipse 23+ Libra 1987 (conjunct my Neptune).

I had fallen asleep, and while the Eclipse peaked in the last hour of the 13th, I had a Dream turned Lucid Experience that impacted the state of my Soul's spirit..
It 'Woke' me! LOL.

I've had a Love for God that just has never ever quit.

It IS the Essential Living Core that is a Spring within me.

I just want to thank everyone for your LOVE and Encouragements, and for helping to be Life Builders.

It's been a LONG road.

1987 .. I had my Conversion Experience during the months that my ex1 had been dissipating our marital (and business) assets behind my back.

It was a Survival Gift to me,
in order to Preserve and Keep me on those roads ahead.

Saturn turning retro {1st house}
would NOT be an auspicious time for me personally to start (filling out papers) the Lady urged me to do. (mentioned last week)

Will be awkward to see her again, as I try to keep my word...

The sonics were horrendous and sustained for days... hitting the tops of my tolerances (health).

Going 'back' to return as a client of the system (that is already exhausted from too many needs, and not enough funding) is an already-traversed dead-end story back to what brought me to have to barely barely survive it alive. I recall all the little and big things that went wrong~right to lead me here, with rm.

In this moment and instant, I (personally) feel frozen-up.

Every day...
Thanking God for Preservation of my Health, and my INNER Peace.

Continuing with Intercessions ...
for Resolve in the World energies.

For Good and Powerful Leadership Teams to evolve, and bless the People.

Unify what is Right, and Expose, Crumble, and utterly Dissolve ALL works of darkness.

For Right-Influence.
For Easy Solutions.
That Suffering be Eased.


And, I saw a news item,
-- that new medical innovations are announced in the fight to cure lung cancers.

Soon-- Soon Lord, Soon.

Protect us from our Toxic Environments--
the physical kind (outer), and the hater kinds (inner) which agitate and push world governments right now.

For a Revival ...
For Heaven to descend and blanket
For The Love of One-Another to Guide and Rule
and Take pre-eminence.

That we have a time of Reprieve on the Earth.

Still the agitations of strife.

Bring down what is 'coarse' --
and exchange, Lift, and FILL atmospheres with That Which Is Refined,
Peaceable, and of Kind and Good Report.

Shut the mouths of the devourers and the violent.

Protect our strengths,
Safeguard the vulnerable,
Bless those who Work towards Peace.

Let all enemies be found-out, and prevent and stop schemes that would cause harms.
Let them be scattered .....

Allow Recovery.

Protect and Enhance and Make Efficient and Effective All those who Work for Good.

Empower us ..
to See with targeted assuredness what must be done.

Fill us with the Ability to 'Make A Difference'.

See...

This dark, stormy hour.
The wind, it stirs.
The scorched earth cries out in vain.
In vain...

Oh, war and power.
You blind and blur.
The torn heart cries out in pain.
In pain...

But music and singing,
Have been my refuge.
And music and singing,
Shall be my light.

A light of song, shining strong.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah...

Through darkness and pain and strife.
I'll sing...
I'll be...
I'll live...
See...

Peace....peace...

To report on my "own-arm" self-help endeavors---

I asked about housing-papers applications the other day at my volunteer job, as I promised to the church-lady I'd 'do'.

It was ALL only "fake-news."

*sad* I thought so. But, it was good to test it out. These "past"-things have NOT changed over the decade. That is NOT an open option for me, and is still not.
(I thought it would save money?)

Among the community agencies, there are 'rivers of information' {like energetic comfort-layers} filled with much 'unknowingly-false' information (to the public) about WHAT is REALLY out there, and concretely tangibly 'available' to assist its own people in the local community.

Good-people and Benefically-engaged On-lookers TRUST and 'think' that there IS help available for people?, when it is grievously NOT TRUE for "all" -- .. except-for extremely-targeted individuals within very-limitedly defined-demographics and labels.

I do not fit any of those.

In general too, broad strokes--
personal help is available for what Society calls 'sin' -- while Good and invisible deserving people are NOT served and allotted same privileges.


So..
Ironically,

I'll be special-volunteering a block of hours of my day this weekend {IF I have a good sonic Friday evening here in the 'hood where my nerve-system is not super-blast ignited over and over}.

I'll receive training,
then be allowed to assist former-criminals (Offenders, re-entry) needing to have their records expunged for a 2nd-Chance at life--

This will enable them to have a Brighter Promising Future, that qualifies for better paying jobs, good housing, etc?

Oh yes.... Values.
What a topsy-turvy World?! *Heart*

ALL should be EQUALLY Valued, with Equal Access.

... Climbing

Purposefully,
putting on a GOOD Attitude! ~~
*thumbsup* *heart*

*end of Report for the day*

Thanking everyone that contributes in whatever way they can... in order to Perform Good in our Society and World.

(music) One of Us (the 'purple-ized' version by Prince, 1996) [5:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu7ymV19kDM

I'm more-than a little drained right now.. ugh.
Wishing Everyone a Great Day.

Today is the birthday of someone I dated long ago.
For the posters of Dali artwork all over his walls;

Yesterday until 4:30 a.m. (a few hours ago) was physically horrible here.

I am in fear that my body won't handle it.
I feel really bombarded. And 'just' sick.

It's times like this where any thoughts of a future hardly counts.

The sonics ended 4:30 am, and I found myself awake instead of being able to take advantage and sleep. Now I hear the start-up of another day, extra-early for them today at 6:32 am.
(They had their drug dealers visit last night around 11pm ..)

Yesterday was super bad. I was glad that I had outside errands I could accomplish.

~*

One of the things I did was stop at a garden shop to pick up a small starter-plant ~~ some Thyme (kitchen herb).

Then I bought a glass measuring cup big enough to place the small plant inside it (to hold run-off water).

The bus was going by that church where I had spoken to church-lady in my crisis overflow moments last Thursday. (She had said to come report back to her. I did.)

I presented her with the plant in measuring cup. ... Thanking her for her 'time' (thyme). I reminded her that the 'measure' (cup) we pour out to others, shall be measured back to us pressed down, shaken together, running over. {scripture}

Thanked her for her measure of time.

She asked how it went with the papers.
Told her it was JUST 'fake news'. There weren't any.

She's an 82 year old early Leo! When I asked when her birthday was, she didn't reply with a date, but said 'I'm a Leo!' (7-26)

To myself, I shook my head and laughed.
The place suddenly got busy with people, so I waved goodbye.

She invited me to a Wednesday morning biblestudy group. She looked through me and said I need some people in my life. They are an established group, and believe in having fun too (not just study).
(I might have to rearrange some things, but I think I'll do that.)

On a more serious note--
On television yesterday they were showing Hurricane Maria victims (100+ of them) about to be displaced to live on the streets homeless because there is no housing money, nor shelter capacity.

Ah! ... What light through yonder window breaks??

It's the Morning Sun about to RISE ... Yay.
Yay Sun.

Gonna MAKE it a Good Day!

Happy Taurus Birthdays!

Sharing Vanilla Cream Sodas! *grin*

On the TODAY show (NBC News) this morning, they are running a feature this week called

The Power of Friendship: inside America's loneliness epidemic

#togetherTODAY

<If/When they post the youtube, I may insert topic here.>

A social researcher had taken a poll in the mid 1980s and asked how many confidants people had in their life. The answer was around three. When they repeated this poll around 2012, the average answer was 'zero'.

People are missing the face-to-face communication with someone they can trust cares about them.

{Saves money on mental health and medical stress costs to promote Friendships.}

(Astrologically, I want to remind the Gemini's that Capricorn is in a stressful quincunx (150) angle from our energies. That can also emphasize strain and have an impact on health.)

For me, this TV article that the TODAY show is doing touched me in just the right way, at the right moment.

I've been feeling horrible in my health, and have been genuinely very worried. {My home environment is driving my health into the ground-- (humor) hoping it won't be literal! LOL nervously.}

I listened to the dialogue in my head today (before seeing the TV show), and at my base-level self, I don't feel cared for and I'm frightened what would happen to me if something medically went organically more-wrong than expected initially.

Locally, I don't have a living soul in my life that has the ability to nurture and console me, protect 'my' interests, and be the interpreter and go-between.

Some health care professionals can be VERY callous-- dismissive, mean and uncaring.... which is a terrifying sign (trigger) to me --when I am there 'alone' and in a 'vulnerable' way.

There ARE definitely abusive-individuals who hold "jobs" with vulnerable clientele (easily victimized and bullied, if they don't 'belong' to someone or family that stands-up for them).

{An example was given in LL's Astral Realms forum recently, when someone's mother was treated abusively by medical people. -- NO excuse! for abuse-- physical AND verbal emotional.}

I live with someone who is very detached (wired/born that way).

This has really reinforced the sense of isolation within me. He doesn't like to hold conversations at all (he'd be a good hermit! LOL). Almost 11 years now (June 1).

When I get out 'socially' and a conversation starts, I tend to OVER talk? Making up for lost time?! *grin*

Seems generally as though some people in society look askance at 'nice people' who are willing to offer helpful information to others.

I've observed socially that when I clue some people 'in' to something in the environment or system they are having to navigate, I get overwhelming responses of Thanks!

(And, I've noticed recently that I have done that too--)

I am just so grateful to be able to help others simply, and get a personal response. And, I realize that I reciprocate the same way.

Sometimes over-gratefulness might be construed as 'evidence' in today's world, of social conditions -- where the climate seems to have gradually grown more coldly-detached. People adapted to it, but, for some, it is not normal and some subconsciously/unconsciously 'sense' the consequence as depression, sadness, and individual-isolation.

Some people thrive in detached social atmospheres. Others are not, and are being made to feel as though something was 'wrong' with them? ...

No. We are emotionally wired differently too.

The social climate gets extra strong waves of coldness, from time to time-- and folks who ARE in touch with their emotional selves could feel extra-stranded?

There is NOTHING wrong with emotions.
Emotions are our soul's in motion.
Having a Sensitive Soul .. is a GOOD thing.
You deserve people who understand you, and want to be near you or be LIKE-you.

It is sooo good that programs like NBC TODAY show have these kinds of stories.

Helps ME remind my own self...

WE are Not Alone. I Am Not Alone.
Nor are groups of others who are Other-oriented and feeling isolated today.

I Pray that you will be navigated towards Great Friends.

I send a Virtual Hug to the Other-oriented folks reading this right now-- who MISS having comradery that 'matches' their Beautiful vibe and interests. *hug*

Simply being Nice-- being warm and helpful to people-- is a Welcomed and nicely-surprising bit of Nurturance in some people's lives.

I Love It when that happens.

You Are Loved...

(music) Thank You (No Limitz, lyrics) [3:40] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTDoRLdJ1kg

lyrics
It’s the way you smile at me
It’s the way you make me laugh
It’s the way you always find the words to say

Everything that you give
Everything that you take
It’s the way you choose to meet me half way

I’m so glad we share this world, your loves a gift, I treasure it.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for being you

Your open arms know how to hold
Your open door welcomes me
Your honesty is something I take comfort in

Showing me the perfect day
You show me love my eyes can’t see
Because of you my life is simply beautiful.

So thank you, thank you, thank you for being you
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you

Your love's a gift
I treasure it.
Simply beautiful

Thank you thank you thank you for being you
Thank you thank you thank you for being you

Checking in ...

I missed a birthday!

I've used songs performed by this inwardly and outwardly Beautiful artist multiple times.

Happy Birthday, Barbra Streisand (April 24)!

Continuing on the Friendship theme, we prepare for the Full Moon in Scorpio on April 29. (It's in my natal house 11.)
