that’s wild…i have saturn in virgo in my natal chart and quit smoking in july. i also started eating living foods (raw food) only, and have cut down considerably on alcohol. 2 glasses of organic wine, max! my body can’t take more than that, and beer and hard liquor are definitely out.

i’m also simplifying my life…went thru my kitchen and bathroom last night and got rid of all nonessentials. the bedroom closet and living room are next! i’m planning on investing in a few pieces of nice furniture and a zen tea set for entertaining friends. my life has become rather spartan–no more partying, etc. but i like it. i’d rather be at home with some close peeps than out at the discotheques, and i’m usually a super-social sag!

saturn going through my 8th house like you Elsa. I ‘m discovering my hidden motivations and figuring out what I really want and desire in life. All things 8th house related and such.

Actually I’ve started smoking…oops.

Charlotte - LMAO! HA HA HA!

I think Saturn in Virgo is a good time to stop feeling like you ought (Saturn) to be thin, fit, teetotal, organic vegan fundamentalist etc.

DR- Thanks for the laugh and a half! Saturn is transiting my 9th House–no more fundamentalism, organic, free-range, fair-trade or otherwise…Saturn in Virgo is all about embracing simplicity

The only thing I ‘ought to be’ is learning!

I’m doing nothing of the sort.
I tried weed for the first time, and I’ve developed an addiction to condensed milk (you can read all about it in my blog, now in english ) but i think this is jupiter transiting my moon now, allowing me to not feel sick and maybe gain weight.
I had an awful experience with my surgeon on my last visit a couple weeks ago. He was out of his mind and treated me like crap. Made me think alot though. I cried after being able to process it all and couldn’t forget it for at least a week. He said absurd things trying to scare me. I felt very insulted and don’t think I can trust him anymore. This was a saturn in virgo experience. Doctors are problably going through hell with this transit.

Yeah, poor doctors, JEEZ! I’ve had TWO friends tell me about their rude, mean doctors recently. One was a naturopath who was such a jerk, my friend actually left mid-consultation (much to his shock). The other told my friend ‘I don’t have time to sit here all day to explain things to you’ –and she was undressed AND in tears. This comment was his answer to her asking why he was being hostile…

Yeah, the doctors better get used to having to help people, for real. I actually love my own doctor; dreading seeing the specialist about my skull at the end of the month.

Valkyrie, I’m glad that I can buy in in the store and not on the street!

Because y’know, it wouldn’t be refrigerated, and all..

I’m not walking daily like I was due to daylight savings, but have scheduled a basic physical to check out my cholesterol, hormone levels, etc.. I have been thinking about it for a long time, and just figure I’ll get it done. Oh and have to go to the dentist, but am waiting for mercury to go direct and might get a free dermascan this afternoon via work’s health fair day. They have been pushing the health fairs this year. It’s super!

Also eating more than usual the last few days, but I’m pms’ing….ugghhh.

Kashmiri, that sounds about right what happened to me.
I didn’t leave the consultation but spent a week wishing I had and thinking of all the things I should have said. my health is perfect, all lab work is great, unlike most of his other bypassed patients, but because I don’t go to the nutricionist every three months, because it’s totally useless to me, though I think she is a great professional, and it’s also really expensive. He said really absurd things that I won’t repeat because you wouldn’t understand the level of absurd it was, not knowing alot of other things too. He is a very jupiterian person normally, so I was just shocked. I was really depressed at the time too, I really didn’t need that. But yeah, made me think saturn is not being nice to him. I think he has sagitarius rising, so problably having some pluto transit too. who knows.
This happened with my ex therapist once, and I left after a week of agonizing over it. And this brought all that up. I was thinking there is a pattern here, it must be my fault, what am I doing wrong… then I realized it’s not me. It’s saturn it’s their problem, not mine.
