i think i have reached the peak of my goodness and am now headed towards a decline. never fear, though, my new favourite old saying has something to do with a pendulum.

off to take it out on myself so i do not harm others.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

owie, saturn. owie.

ok. i can see that venus rx in aries in my 8th. saturn rx in my 3rd and mars rx in my 2nd -- with all the aspects -- is going to be a trip.

and it just hit me now. swear, no reading in the world could have prepared me for this.

i MUST find time to go to the gym. i don't think there's a choice here, on this.

I'm sorry you are feeling this way, Michele. If it helps, I just looked down to see where the planets are exactly; per your mention of them, and Venus in currently directly opposite my Mars @ 1 degree of Libra, with the Virgo Moon almost exactly squaring my own Gem Moon. Umm....that can't be good.....

If I could help is some way, I would. Had I won the lottery, I'd ask permission first (I don't crash myself in on people without their consent first per my 7th house Scorp). And if it was okay, I'd come up to see you for a day or so, and bring something delicious with me from PDX. Taurus tends to feed people really well, then ask them to talk it out, while I listen actively, and compassionately. Why am I still single again? lol.

@ mina... I was thinking about you today, actually. A friend of mine could probably use some of that amazing groundedness. Specifically re: a subject of some note that people love to use to throw others down with.

I think I'm on my way to becoming an activist with a big freaking mouth. So not my style. I will have to hone my speaking skills because I am still in the babbling phase. Get to the point, Michele.

*sigh*

@Michele--Aww, now I feel really special for having occupied your thoughts, even for a moment irl, and concerning a friend.

I'm grounded, but up to a point. As my taurus rising sign is ruled by my 12th house. I'm grounded, and practical, but when alone, I float off to my own inner world rather quickly. Regarding the subject of note, I'm highly curious to hear more, and would like to help in any way I can if I have some knowledge that would prove useful if I expanded it, and tailored it to fit your friend's needs.

P.S. I got up to check on a roasted chicken in the oven, and burned my hand thinking about something else. 12th house Venus in Aries trine Neptune in Sag strikes again. Daydreaming can get someone like me burned--literally sometimes. Le sigh.....

WOW! What's happening up there, Michele?
