Yes. I have taken a respite from spending on non-essentials. We spent a lot of money last year plus we have been invited to travel to Sicily, so spending on other things will take the back seat for awhile. I think that for me personally spending will resume when Pluto goes direct.

Several years back when my disposable income was a lot lower, I used to play a game with myself. Other than the regular bills and essential items like food, I would see how many days in a row I could go without buying anything. I think the record was about a fortnight.

Whoa Spinner, isn’t that 10 full days? Amazing!

I just now realize that I made flight reservations during mercury retrograde, oh well! Better that than actually flying during merc rx, or so I hope ;-). I am thinking about moving to Arizona, in the Sedona area, or maybe Phoenix, so I am going to check it out in July.

I am also going to the blast in Oct in Sedona, partly because I like the vedic schedule this year (I am obsessed with both fields of astrology).

I was registered for the conference in Denver, UAC, but I changed my mind for some reason. I have never yet been to an astrology conference, so I decided I prefer the blast for my first. MY UAC refund is God knows where!!! Freakin’ merc rx.

Whatever the airlines do, I WILL find a way to keep flying, that’s all I know. I have to move around.

My own habits, yeah, a little, but I think it’s funny that my ex-husband, a Virgo non-believer who used to get SO pissed off at me when I would look at the planets to to plan our events, well.

When Saturn hit Virgo, I started receiving the entire contents of his basement all neatly packed into about 25 microwave sized shipping boxes.

He was always a rather tidy guy, and so I think it’s funny that he let all my stuff just hang in his basement (new domestic partner girlfriend of 5 years and all) from our divorce of 20 years ago. He just let slide…right until Saturn went into Virgo.

He wrote back to me after a while when I told him I was getting a bit overwhelmed, he goes, “Sorry, I got on a roll.” Yeah man, that’s for damn sure! It was kind of him, though, I think most people would toss it. God knows what he spent doing that.

Anyway, ninety eight percent of the stuff he sent ended up in trash or good will, so that is one compartment of my life that is…finished. I never realized I had left anything much there, and it triggered me a bit to see all these things from so long ago, and so much OF it (we were married in 1984, divorced in 2000).

But once I got rid of all that junk and crap (mostly papers and wow, some very strange choices in clothing), I have begun to feel a much more peaceful closure on that whole relationship! How unexpected! (He has cancer rising with Jupiter and the SN in the first house, he’s a pilot).

I’m not sure. Hahahahha. Mos to fmy books are second hand now (I’ve only bought two books new in recent memory - out of the last say 30-40 books) I’m definitely cooking more/eating out less, and drinking less alchol. But did I choose those things? not so sure.

Life is definitely a’changin

I know this might be a bit late in the month to comment on this, but just tonight I was speaking with my mom and told her that I felt like I was living in a world where I didn’t belong. I was the only one who was just cutting back like mad. I mean, none of my friends has to do this. In fact as a Sadge just coming out of Pluto, I feel like I’m the only one who has been through the wringer and everyone else is just business as usual. I am glad to hear I’m not alone. I find that there are a couple of astrology sites that match up with this same type of commentary. This is very interesting.
