If I can explain further, I'm a Libra with Libra Mercury conjunct Pluto, with a Gemini Moon, with Venus in 3rd squaring Neptune, which aspects everything, and I was born to escape into books.  My grandmother said I had the family curse.  I read at age 3, and could be found in thrall to the written word at all times of the day and night from then until age 31.  In the summer as a child, I'd build a tent outside and take a stack of books and read all day until the sun went down.  I read everything in the Rockford Public Library. My mom bought crates of books for .25 each from library sales and I read them all, good or bad.  I used to read with a flashlight under the covers until 4 in the morning throughout my life, even as an adult, pregnant in bed with my husband. Addiction or obsession would be minimal descriptions for my relationship to reading.  Since the dissolution of my marriage, I have been physically unable to read a book.  That's coming up on just about three years now.  I accept loss as part of this Pluto transit, but I'm wondering if this loss is something I have to live with for life.  Will I never read again?   Has anyone else been through such a shocking transformation of personality?  Do you ever go back to "normal"?      Elsa on "[poll] various random entertainment 40? <img align='absmiddle' border='0' src='http://boards.elsaelsa.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png' />" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/various-random-entertainment-40#post-50929 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:37:53 +0000 Elsa 50929@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ "I've never had bigger hair in my life.

Jupiter ran over my jupiter.. and planets in late pisces are now trining my saturn in cancer and are in my 5th.. and venus is in aries making work enjoyable.. actually work is awesome overall.. being creative.. and there is plenty of it. Don't want to jinx a good thing but I'm a bit awed by it all. Makes my pining libra planets in the 12th pale in comparison. I spent years being discontented while pluto was in sag.. made easy money but I pined to be creative.. and in a transit woosh i'm working my buns off and happier than a pig in shit. :) I've had a few pints.. don't wake me from this dream just yet. :P  Oh but living with family bites.. is very fulfilling and i've missed them.. but i'll stay single forever here.. seems that living elsewhere and looking for people to fulfill the familial role.. lovers and the like.. was the right way to go! part of moving home was from wondering if that was right to do.. maybe i should move back and see if i can meet someone and thereby have it all?? No lol. I spend st. patty's day with my dad and bro. Love em to death! but 2 years ago I met John on st.patty's instead and had a lovely year.  Oh and my family has a saturn/jupiter signature.. Dad has jupiter in capricorn and saturn in aries and NN in sag.. bro is a sag with saturn in leo and venus in capricorn.. sis has jupiter in late sag opposite saturn in gemini.. mom has saturn in leo conjunct pluto in leo and squaring jupiter in scorpio... and I have jupiter in pisces trining saturn in cancer. We are good people. :) Oh and the man in TO has it as well. I'm cool with just friends.. but I find it interesting.. he may be my family away from family.. he is cap with jupiter in cap.. and mars/venus/merc/neptune in sag and saturn in gemini. My bro is sag with moon in gemini and my sis has saturn in gemini opposite her jupiter in sag .. so there's a theme.. Maybe there always is a theme with people you jive with :P w-sag on "[poll] NN/SN crisis? <img align='absmiddle' border='0' src='http://boards.elsaelsa.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png' />" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/nnsn-crisis#post-50890 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 05:07:03 +0000 w-sag 50890@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ NN in 6th house Aries .. makes me energetic, spontaneous, and essential to serving others? Health related? Athletics? Should I pursue something with parmedics or, rather use something our of my SN 12th house with Venus in Libra (and Chiron in 5th/Pisces) to work with people pertaining to relationships? Plus, I will soon have Saturn transiting my SN. Is this a concern? If so, how? And... I thought it odd that my kids, myself and my H all have Saturn in Aries (my NN)...soon to be a Saturn transit opposition. What is that about?! lastly, my (soon to be) exH,... has NN in 12th house, Taurus, alongside his Sun and Merc... south Node in 6th Scorpio with Neptune (my Asc combo). Can anyone explain that one to me? What would be his NN life path? I always have a tough time with the 12th house,... especially when other planets play into it. Trying to wrap my head around all kinds of crazy stuff at the moment... between H's Pluto transit thru 8th house in opposition with natal Venus  (does that really last till 2023?! And Pluto transit-squaring natal Venus... ugh! Too much. But these NN/SN things I gotta figure out. Feel like it's the secret to everything.

We both got home from work around the same time and were lying in bed trying to decide what to do for dinner.  We went back and forth describing our perfect fantasy meal.  We decided to go to the grocery store to be frugal rather than going out to eat.  When we got there, we stood in the parking lot staring at the little Italian restaurant that is in the same shopping center.  "Mmmn, do you smell that?" "Yeah, that smells good."  We started just drifting in that direction all the while rationalizing that its a pretty cheap place and we couldn't possibly make anything as good as we could get there for the price and bla blah blah... Five minutes later we were stuffing our faces with dinner rolls and butter. I had eggplant parmigiana, he had tortellini with alfredo sauce.  After dinner as we were walking back to our car the moon was freakin' huge and smiling down on us.  I pointed up and said "Oh yeah, I forgot, Taurus moon, thats why we did that." venusgirl on "[poll] Confused about my Ascendant...Cancer or Leo? <img align='absmiddle' border='0' src='http://boards.elsaelsa.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png' />" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/confused-about-my-ascendantcancer-or-leo#post-50939 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:37:33 +0000 venusgirl 50939@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ Hello, I have had my chart done several times.  I was born on October 21, 1972 in Selma, AL at 12:07 AM CDT.  Some say that my ascendent is Cancer and others say that is in Leo...  0 degrees Leo to be exact.  So, would that be considered to be an ascendant cusp?  Whichever ascendant I am determines where my houses are...right?  I do feel more Cancer like than Leo like...I tend to have A LOT of Cancerian friends.  I know that I already exhibit both Libra and Scorpio traits.  Any insight will be greatly appreciated?  hq on "[poll] Question from a new father <img align='absmiddle' border='0' src='http://boards.elsaelsa.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png' />" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/question-from-a-new-father#post-50895 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:17:39 +0000 hq 50895@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ My wife and I just had a baby three months ago... here he is in a ballcap while looking out over my shoulder. <img src="http://x53.xanga.com/6aff73f765433264915627/z211242524.jpg" /> And here he is being tortured by my wife... the key to this joke is that his name is Charlie and he's wearing Brown pants (although they're cropped off here).   Oh yah, also - his shirt. :-) <img src="http://xef.xanga.com/96af5a7a68330265027291/z211334485.jpg" />  Anyway, it's been three months and Charlie's personality is really starting to emerge.  He's such a wonderful boy.  He smiles a LOT, is very curious, and is generally really good natured.  He just seems so nice and kind that I am floored.  I feel very lucky to have him in my life. But I have to admit: I wonder how much of his "nice personality" is just universal to all babies. Do all babies start off really nice, and then they get corrupted by life and poor parenting and become mean?  Or do some babies show mean-ish tendencies from the get go? Does the fact that Charlie seems to be so nice and kind have any bearing on whether or not he will turn out that way? This new father would love to hear about your experiences with kids and their personalities as babies!!!  Shannon on "[poll] Ghost Thread! <img align='absmiddle' border='0' src='http://boards.elsaelsa.com/my-plugins/bbpress-polls/icon.png' />" http://boards.elsaelsa.com/topic/ghost-thread#post-50825 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:00:33 +0000 Shannon 50825@http://boards.elsaelsa.com/ For Nutsy, Dawn, the insomniac SaDiablo, and anyone else who wants to jump in.   And now I've got code to tweak.  You kids have fuN!
