Right now, I'm gearing up for my Saturn Seven Cycle approaching my 28th year in this incarnation and I appear to be presented with challenges one after the other.Or rather - I'm learning faster perhaps. I'm always learning of course, however I'm at a point where every decision I make is cruicial to my immediate future. This of course is the case with everyone in whatever stage of life you're at. However I feel my challenge right now is to learn to fully take responsibility for my actions. I'm noticing this change in me - whereas before I may have had more of a tendancy to find a solution or cause with another situation - instead of focusing on myself. I guess I'm learning to focus on myself, and listen to myself more and meditate on what I truly want. I'm struggling with the feeling of wanting to have achieved much more at an earlier part of my life - however I truly believe I wouldn't have the same outlook if I hadn't explored the different areas of the maze which is my life ..and I'm still learning - that's why becoming myself all in all is my biggest challenge right now What in particular do you feel is your lesson right now? I learn from you guys all the time Another challenege is typing this at work when I have so much to say! I decided to copy this into Teen Spirit also.

Ah yes Sue - just as you posted that I was going to add unconditional giving - and love - forgiving too Universal synchronicity How is your son? I'm also finding it really tough finding a job I'd enjoy that will also pay the bills - the same thing I was talking to SunChild about in her post in Labors of Love. I'm temping right now and any time I have off for interviews etc. I don't get paid for. Basically kinda stuck in a catch 22. Perservering though! IP: Logged |

Hi SheeaAaah girl I love that synchronisity thing too, warms the heart doesn it? Our son is okay but he does have a very active dream life which is stressful for us all....we try everything to help and will do so of course for as long as he needs it! I was once told by a tarot reader that he and I will be very close friends when he is a man and that there would be much compassion between us......there already is.....he is my LIFE training......very humbling, yet exhausting. Re your hunt for work, if it comforts you girl,I worked in office environs, for over 20 years and hated it. Eventually when I met my man, with much encouragement I trained as an Aromatherapist and healer, but they never did bring much money in.....but Ive never looked back. Just pray for what you need.....and I think only when we have true faith in life, something drops in yer lap.....will remember you in my prayers......you always seem such a lovely soul.....life will not let you down....be at peace, ask and then ye shall find.... Love Sue xxx IP: Logged |

Indeed synchronicity does Glad to hear he's well. I too had a very vivid dreams when I was younger, I still do actually. I was thinking on what you just mentioned the other day - when I eventually have children, I'll look forward to evolving with them and being great friends when they're adults Hey Sue, remember your 'God certainly moves...' thread? http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/001707.html well just after your response to my job situ (above), an employment agency called with an 'ideal' role - or as ideal as you can get in the corporate world - in the exact place I want to work in, with the right money! However the job isn't mine by a long shot. I just had to take an online typing test in the library - where I'm spending my lunch now - and sure my speed wasn't fast enough *sigh* nevermind - at least the oppurtunity presented itself eh? I'm not sure what the results were, but doubt it was 60 words per min. My challenge to aim for right now - get my typing speed up to 60 wpm! Have a good day Sue dear, thank you for your kind words IP: Logged |

OK, just got online typing test results back from the agency and I did 45wpm For this job (which I really want) my wpm have to be 55wpm at least. They want me to go for the interview but before they put me forward I have to practice practice practice when I get back from work tonight - they're sending me 2 x more attempts at the test to achieve it! Please root for me guys and will my fingers to be typing experts for this role! *fingers crossed* IP: Logged |

Oh wow Sheaa!! Good luck with the typing challenge I used to type with only my two index fingers lolol! Then when I got a new computer this free disk came with it, called "The typing game" or something, and it basically consisted of lots of games to do with typing words, within a speed limit, so it would gradually increase your typing speed. It also had a handy thing on which fingers press which letters, to make it easier and quicker! Have you thought of getting one to help you speed up? It works and its fun too!! Lots of luck with it!

For the last few years my 2 biggest challanges were and still are: to really know myself and not to judge people. To achieve the first I've been stripping away layers of believes that I thought were mine but now know better. I pretty much question everything: from household tips that I took as a must,to diets, to women's role in a family, to God and more. And just honestly ask myself what do I know FOR SURE.Good luck with that job opportunity! ------------------ We are the ones we've been waiting for. IP: Logged |

Finding a ( my first ) Job *gasp* you mean I can’t live off my parents no more Ok well mum’s not exactly kicking me out - in fact she’s being very Cancerian and trying to discourage me from “flying out the nest”. Even tho she has no Cancer in her chart. Though she does have Venus, Pluto & Uranus in the 4th - not sure about Uranus tho - might not count as 4th. *edited to add Oh I have a bad habit of posting, then reading what everyone else said guess I should think of something more deep…hmmm. Uranus is aspecting certain things in my chart - and some have already started. So change…that’s my biggest challenge. Ugh…which is annoying - because I always thought I’m good with change. I’m adaptable, I’m mutable…I’m water - I take the shape of my container I’m reluctant to move out - and……….be alooooooooooone I dunno - perhaps it’s a 7th house Moon thing. My biggest challenge is change and being alone. I just don’t want to lose my friends and family. IP: Logged |

When I was a child, I use to dream about the kind of life I wanted to live. I use to imagine about the feelings that would go with the dream.Then somewhere along the line, I stopped giving them life. Now, I am seriously thinking that my dreams were not too off, even though they were dreamed by a child. IP: Logged |

Hey Aphrodite! Good seeing you again after so long. Say, are you in the UK at the moment? I was listening to LBC 97.3 as I do in the mornings, and a listener called Aphrodite called in.On the subject of dreams. I firmly believe in the power of visualisation - manifesting destiny as a sociological term would have it, .."if you don't mind, it won't matter.." as Linda says it. It's just focusing on that which is a challenge for me. I hope life in general is treating you well hon CancerianMoon hi, thanks for the good vibes! Another agency called today so maybe those good vibes are reaching my world - you too SunScorp & Svetlana! Good luck with the situation with your step daughter CM - it must be a toughy for you to handle. Wishing you ~* Strength *~ SunScorp! Not emailed you for some time - apologies, I need to sift through my mail soon. You're spot on - I do need typing practice software, and should have sorted it out a while back. Well this has got my butt into gear in that respect anyhow. Hope you and you loved ones are well in your part of the UK Mystic Gemini - sounds mysterious! Who?? How's it coming along?.. IP: Logged |

(had to split that post into two)Hey WaterNymph - I don't think you should have added anything more deep you know I like the way that you can interject astrological information into your phrases like that. That's something for me to learn - become more apt at astrology and knowing how certain placements will approximately affect me without looking it up. There's no need for you to be alone just because you're moving ahead - best of luck with it all! Svetlana *waves* - yeah I can relate to your challenges at the moment. I'm listening to myself alot more nowadays, and breaking down a few beliefs which were added as padding somehow as I've gradually got older. I like it. I was born in the chinese year of the snake and I kinda feel like I'm slowly shedding old skin Hola AG! How are those swinging emotions today? *big smile* IP: Logged |

Sooooo.. I sat at the PC for 2 hours this morning, and did the darn tests! Excel - Word - PowerPoint - Typing Test 2 -(again) Aggghhh - how may times I must have done these programs when signing up to agencies this year! Well I know it's worth it, if that agency has the right role for me. The typing test I was stressing about was last. Knowing I had to get up to 55wpm when my practice runs showed about 45. I took it though, and didn't get to 55 overnight no, but 47 .. oh well! Some improvement at least. I can only get better if I persevere IP: Logged |

I have a small challenge, that is I have offered to sing a song in the pub tomorrow night at someone's leaving party.....and now I am a bit scared hahahahah..Its a very moving Irish song called May Morning Dew and I sing it every day at home, but its something else with an audience isnt it......oooooeeerrrr.....I have butterflies already guys....could you send me some confidence please......runs to the bathroom quickly.....hahahahaha "How pleasant in winter to sit by the hob listening to the barks and the howls of the dog and in summer to wander the wild valleys too and to pluck the wild flowers in the May morning dew.... Summer is coming, oh summer is here with the leaves on the trees and the sky blue and clear, and the birds they are singing their fond notes so true and the flowers they are sprining in the May morning dew.... The house I was reared in is but a stone on a stone, and all round the garden the weeds they have grown and all the kind neighbours that ever I knew like the red rose theyve withered in the May morning dew..... God be with the old folk who are now dead and gone, and likewise my brothers young Dennis and John, as they trip through the heather, the wild hare to pursue, as their joys they are mingled in the May morning dew....... Wish me luck........ xxx IP: Logged |

My swinging emotions are alright today. Like Aphrodite I've been thinking A LOT about my own dreams, and reassessing my path. I've been having a strong pull to just sell all my stuff, uproot myself, and go pursue what I want to do. I'm really in love with this particular urge right now. Oddly, my best friend called me last night, and said that he and his wife may be moving to a place, which would be a 2+ hour drive for me. Because of how I've been feeling, I didn't feel all that upset by it. I still went through the motions of what he'd expect from me, but the truth is that their moving would make it easier for me to move myself. I want to pursue a dream that no one knows about, and I don't really want to say what it is. I don't want anyone who knows me to be able to give me any doubts about it. I want to take that Herculian step of doing something on my own terms without worrying about what anyone else may think about it. It's a really cool thought and emotion for me, and it's inspired me to take up studying the field after work every day. So I think I'll be pressing on. IP: Logged |

Sheaa, if you want it enough, you can do it. You go, girl!!! Here are a few practical thoughts re: typing speed. I just got my typing speed up through typing LOTS of stuff on the computer - ANYTHING - articles, teaching material, you name it. I reckon that to get up to speed you will need to type in random stuff like that - it's the doing that counts. But it should be stuff you enjoy. This will make the more non-enjoyable stuff more palatable (she says). My lesson/s right now? To trust my gut, and that I can be self-reliant and complete in myself as a single person (in fact, now, I feel more complete than ever - some sort of weird balance has shifted inside me). To be myself, not someone I think other people will like, and to ask for exactly what I want out of life and love. IP: Logged |

I'm finding it interesting that I'm sychronizing with the Aries here. I wonder if there's an astrological reason for that.IP: Logged |
