Astrology And Criticism - Saturn (Stationary) in Virgo - OUCH!
Astrology in real life
I have had to traverse some pretty difficult terrain in my life and I am at it again. I have to say I feel like a very high level human being at the moment but that Saturn in Virgo is something else. Talk about critical!
I am under extreme stress but if there were ever a time I might be required to think and communicate to the best of my ability, this is it. This is the Olympics for Elsa… I swear I don’t think anyone else on this planet could do what I am doing now, in fact it is beyond comprehension; however I am vividly aware that I have trained for this all my life.
I feel like the soldier competing to be the best scout in the world. (How Fast Can A Bull Swim?) I know exactly what it must have felt like for him. You know you can do the thing, you know you are supposed to do the thing but holy crap now you are actually doing it. Now you are called to use every skill you have in a variety of events, except in my case it is the people who keep calling my house.
The people call and it is my job to give them exactly what they need with the least amount of drama or frills so that they might do their job which is also demanding. If one more person tells me they are up against a wall… well I would like to be up against a wall myself but instead I am busy trying to hit all the monkey heads as they pop up, do you know that game at the fair? They give you a mallet and there heads pop up and you have to smash them as fast and as well as you can and get your score.
This feels like that and here is the point:
I am averaging at least 95%. I score 100% again and again and then drop something and when I do, I am all over myself! For example, today I had to talk to the mother of one of my daughter’s friends. I got lost in my mind and told her more than she could bear. She specifically said, “With a story like this, we don’t need details.” (Defend against / Saturn - Details /Virgo) Gah!
But anyway, I felt so bad. Damn it! Damn it to hell why didn’t I think? Because had I the time to think I would have slowed down / said less / took her temperature sooner but I didn’t. And I got off the phone, just distraught. Because I have a lot of compassion for this woman and her family and would not have wanted to hurt her… it’s Christmas for Godsakes!
So anyway, I thought this was a fuck-up sort of like doing the all around gymnastics competition and getting scored, 10, 10, 10, 10, and then 7!! And it’s so hard not to beat yourself up when you know damned well you could have done better except…
Except all this does not even consider the fact you are competing with a broken ankle (heart in my case) and your house has been burned to ground and the person with the matches is eyeing the shed out behind the house. It’s just a little unnerving, you know? So this is my reminder to myself and the little girl whose mother I talked to today? She called in tears while I was writing this. I got a 10 on that phone call, thank God.
Next?

That’s a great way to look at it, Elsa. In the Olympics, you’ve got to be faster, higher, stronger (or however that goes) than you or anyone else has ever been before.
In my own work life, things are beyond stressful for everyone I know. Not quite “Lord of the Flies” sort of ganging up yet, but people are getting pretty defensive. My normally cool-minded boss is talking about knocking off a pharmacy to get at a stash of Valium. I told her I just leave my body and look down on it from a nice distance.
Honestly, I’m finding all this ridiculous stress and turmoil fascinating. When one rotten thing happens, I can stew over it for a week. But now that 5 rotten things are happening each day, for week after week, I’m starting to detach.
It’s like watching from afar and seeing it’s just a silly little drama that doesn’t mean much of anything. I don’t think I’ll take things so seriously after this, and that’s good.

Valkyrie - That’s Jupiter in Cap! Find a benefit in hardship.
Elsa, I love your life approach.
Valkyrie, I totally feel the same way, this weird calming effect from life getting so haywire. It’s bizarr-o but I must say, like it.
(BTW Elsa, that guy I wrote to you about? Turns out he has Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Virgo with a natal Saturn in Cancer. No doubt he got busted!)
It’s amazing that you not only keep on trucking, but manage to help a ton of people, keep telling stories/writing prolifically, and telling as well as appreciating jokes, Elsa.
Saturn in Virgo is discerning. He’s actually kind of happy there, in a fellow Earth sign, putting things in order.
I think I just recently went through a period somewhat like yours. I had my heart completely broken and my life in pieces and on top of being completely screwed over in every way, I was embarassed about it. So, being the good Capricorn rising I am, I tried harder to to pick up all those little pieces and look absolutely fine and marvelous doing it. I ended up completely freaked out for a year and a half, on meds and wiped out with adrenal failure. Genuine nervous breakdown.
Saturn in Virgo gives you the tools to heal. Virgo is a priestess and a healer, this is why she is so precise. But the lesson is; you can’t control everything. In fact, you can’t control anything. Saturn’s lesson in this sign is an exact demonstration of what we can control and what we can’t. Adding drama to a situation is not going to work. Letting go and concentrating on parts of wholes…could work. Less stressful anyway. And without attachment there is no stress.
“And without attachment there is no stress.”
Eva, nicely said. That’s it in a nutshell.
