“This is a such a tricky time…”
Agreed. I don’t look ahead at the sky that much but I have been writing the astrology today posts this morning and not only is it tricky it is bound to get even trickier. And with Saturn where it is, it’s not like the usual tricks to escape are going to work so we are all having to show up.
I think the key to staying un-tricked is also found via Saturn… And Uranus which as the planets in opposition causing a lot of the stress.
In real language on the Saturn side, I am talking about boundaries! It seems relief can be had if you can figure out where you stop and other people begin.
In real language on the Uranus side - Detach! Don’t take it so freakin’ personally and I will give you a for instance.
Most of you know I am working (hard) on the Astro News site. I am also doing my regular life… consultations, coping with loss, taking care of a man and a child plus now I have to go get scoped… and while I doubt I have cancer, the possibility does cross my mind.
So there is new astrology blog and I have been communicating with the gal (not sure she is a gal?) who writes it. I have been so busy the mails from this person sit in my in box for days and guess what? There is no bad effect! 400 assumptions weren’t made because I took 3 days to respond and this is so rare I’m just stunned and grateful. And this is a perfect example of how to cope well with the sky out there right now.
Respect other people’s time and burdens (Saturn). Grant individuals be space to be themselves. (Uranus)
So easy to say, so hard to do…

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today!!!!! 
Thank you!
My sister-in-law called me yesterday to tell me that I was mean because she is NEEEEDY and I’m not meeting her needs. “Everyone knows I’m needy and you are the only one who doesn’t pick up the phone when I call.” Uhmmm, I wonder why. And more so I wonder why I picked up the phone yesterday. Won’t be making that mistake again. Off to detach!
This is great. And timely. I’m also finding that focussing on where I am at helps. I was walking home from the grocery store and my little brain’s wheels started spinning.
I just walked the rest of the way home thinking about how one foot was going in front of the other…how beautiful the sun is…how I’m glad I’m still wearing flipflops…
And when I reached home I was a million more shades of calm.
this sort of thing always reminds me of a scene from Rosanne. Rosanne is being controlling and her sister Jackie tells her– this is where you end and I begin: YOU….. ME. YOOOOOOU… MEEEEE.
and there are big hand gestures. I love it. I think of it often.
I’ve learned that the busier I am tending my own backyard (metaphorically speaking), the less I tend to park my ass on my neighbor’s — in other words, when I’m working within my own boundaries, I don’t invade theirs. This gives us both the time and space we need — me, to tend to my stuff, and theirs to tend to theirs…and then, when we do meet in the middle, we can relax and enjoy the moment.
Great tip, Elsa. One thing I’m trying to be aware of is mind-racing. If it races…all boundaries get blurred. Yech.
“Everyone knows I’m needy”
I can’t fathom someone saying that. Like, as a general statement about themselves. And then sit and look at you like this is an acceptable state of affairs.
I’m, like, stunned laughing at that…
llama - me too. “I’m needy, so you have do my bidding.” Can you imagine being married to such a thing?
She’s strong enough to dictate where a person’s charity ought to go… sounds pretty capable to me!
Definitely Elsa and llama…and the thing is she wears it like a fucking badge of honor?! And I quote,”at work they all know I am needy and it is just easier to give me what I need . . . it’s really not that hard.” YECCHH is right. She came back from the streets after mooching off people for about a year and a half and everyone (her family)got mad at me because I made her wait for an hour to go get her when she was kicked out of the last house she lived in. What if she ran off again? Then we wouldn’t have to listen to her whine? I’m thinking maybe I should have let her sit a little longer 
Serving is helping right now. My mind is churny and full of dark chambers these past few days/weeks, and cooking dinner for my parents last night, washing up, babysitting for my cousin’s infant who screamed for 45 minutes straight and the only purpose of my being became comforting him. . . getting errands done, … it’s all helping to distract and, yeah, maybe detach from myself!
