New Moon in Virgo, conjunct Saturn and trine Jupiter in Capricorn.

That you will work today is a given, worrying about it is optional.

Big focus on relationships too… stellium in Libra

Came across this the other day…

SaDiablo asked on the Single Mother blog:

“Elsa, you said in your response, “…I assure you that your daughter has the right mother, not the wrong one.” Does this mean that you believe sometimes a child *does have the wrong mother? Just curious, as I’ve kicked this question around myself a few times. I’d like to hear a mother’s perspective.”

“Are you going to get some pajamas for winter? Last winter you said you wanted to get some, so do you.”

“Yep.”

“Well what kind of pajamas do you want?”

“Union suit from LL Bean.”

“What?”

“One of those one piece things,” he said.

“Excuse me?” I said with a snort. “Er… okay. So what color do you want?”

“Red. That’s the only color they make for a union suit I think.”

“You’re kidding.”

“No.”

“You mean you’re gonna sit on the couch all winter in a red union suit like some civil war dude?”

“Well yeah, what’s wrong with that?”

“Nothin’. Give my son something to write about when he grows up.”

One of my favorite Taurus’s of all time, singin’ ’bout his Queen Bee. This is what I call earthy goodness.

“Ranger school?  It’s tough, I’ll tell you that. One day I was standing there waiting to do something and some guy was backing up he had a line he was (I forgot).  And all the sudden I heard this yell, OWWWWWWW OOOOOOOH, splat! He’d walked backwards right off a cliff.”

“Oh my God.”

“Yeah, he fell 55-65 feet, landed on a rock and was lying there with his leg mangled, it was actually up under his head it was so messed up.”

“Oh my God.” (swearing after the break)

Now I have Venus in Leo which clashes with Taurus and I live with two of them. My son and the soldier are always heavily Saturnian (me too) so they struggle with my youthfulness as in, for Godsakes make it stop! They both have Scorpio as well (Soldier the Moon, and Vidroid, his Mars) that clashes with Leo as well and my view on this is: So what.

They also like to sit on the couch… Taureans and last night I walked in the living room and started asking them if they’d done this and that they are supposed to do.

“Oh hell yes, you’ll get a new girlfriend and when you do you’ll not remember, P, at all,” I told the soldier in the tub last night. “Yeah, you’ll act like I didn’t exist. P, who?”

He laughed. “I’m not getting another woman!”

“Liar! (Venus in Gemini) You only go about 4 minutes between women and you know it.  But you’re going to have a hell of a time with your new gal, Tammy.” (swearing below the break)

Mercury drops into Libra today and forms a conjunction with Mars. Gee.  Do I know someone with that combination in their chart?

The Moon is in Leo, opposing Neptune which is sure to inflate my ego  and along with my routine natal boasting being hotted up like that I am not sure I can think of anyone but myself today, sorry!

However, this is a best case scenario for P, because Neptune could just as easy erase my ego in which case I am going to be beyond merely confused…

That last shot did the trick. I was at the pediatrician’s office almost 10 years ago, Vidroid was about 4 weeks old. It was a routine visit when the building caught on fire and I had to run out of the building carrying both kids.

I’d just had a baby and my muscles were slack. Actually, I was profoundly out of shape as well and I as I ran down the stairs blind, hoping not to trip in my sandals with unbalanced load. I had a terrified 4 year old on one hip, the sirens were screaming, the baby was in a car seat, I was exhausted from breastfeeding and by the time I got down those stairs I had torn the hell out of my back.
