Update From Behind The Scenes: Heading Into The Full Moon. Who I Think Will Thrive 2008, 2009… Etc And How I Think They’ll Do It
My eye on the sky
I’ve got this astrology / relationship class worked out in my head. Venus has moved into Capricorn now so it’s safe to say I’m serious about it. ::snickers:: But really, aren’t we all?
The Moon in Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio. Both of these signs are very geared towards relationship. Scorpio is sometimes portrayed as a loner but in fact needs energy from others to function.
Its so dynamic out there I think it defies describing but I’ll tell you want I make of it when I put it all together: People don’t want to be alone. Not now. Not with all this coming. It’s terrifying (Saturn) and exciting (Uranus) all at once isn’t it? People who claim to be excited wake up the next day scared and vice versa.
Everyone wants to have an advantage or some kind of edge and I’ll tell you who I think is going to fare best. It’s the people who can maintain solid (Saturn) friendships (Uranus).
People with boundaries and integrity (Capricorn) will have power (Pluto) and I mean there has got to be commitment and integrity in all areas covered by the angles in a natural chart.
Committment and integrity of the self (1st house), commitment to your family (4th house), your relationship (7th) and your career (10th). If you are light on any of this stuff, now is the time buck up. The faster you can define these areas of your life and fortify them, the better off you’ll be.
Who agrees? Anyone disagree?

This sounds like a dream come true to this Capricorn moon 
I don’t know enough about astrology to agree or disagree, but I think I excel at my commitment and integrity to my family, my marriage, and friendships. So this is music to my ears. Yaaay.
Relationships? People don’t want to be alone?? :: Libra rejoices ::
Me too shell.
Awesome post. Looking forward to the class Elsa
This Scorpio Sun is definitely working on shoring up my house, cuz you are right, we really don’t want to be alone. I grieve the loss of my Taurus friendships, and head toward 09 with an opennness to be the best friend I’m always looking for.
My family, Libra son, Cancer husband both going through plenty of Saturnizing. We need to sing that song I love in The BirdCage fashion, “We are family.”
Thanks Elsa, my head’s looking up.
OK, so in my world this means: Stop thinking about him and just grab him and pull him home by the ears.
Hee Hee.
That maintaining solid friendships thing is going to be a challenge with Pluto going into my 11th. New people are coming in but they’re going out just as fast. They’re eliminating themselves; I’m not lifting a finger.
The only “good” friends I have left are long-distance. Saturn’s in the 7th eliminating every guy as soon as he walks in the door because of addiction, neuroses, whatever, so I guess I’m screwed there, too. But at least I have a secure job and an awesome kid, so yay?
Well, it’s pretty much all I’ve been doing for the last year … figuring this out at a rapid clip. I went from wandering the earth and making films and having big dreams to learning to bake a damn cookie and trying to understand my new man, living with my family and finding a perfume that works. (I’m a cappy, so I’ve always been ultra committed to my work.)
I came home. … in many ways. And I didn’t have a home for a long time. None was “good enough,” and the ones that were were impractical and ultimately unstable.
Stability, grounding, long term, commitment. Ha ha. I’m all over it.
Toast to you, Elsa!
I’ve got so many Pluto transits going on…it feels like I will need a miracle to survive the next few yrs…
“People who claim to be excited wake up the next day scared and vice versa.”
LOL that’s the way I feel. Woot! I can do this! I can kick ass! (rolling up sleevees) Then the next day, whimper. hahaha.
I have Saturn and Uranus conj. in my natal chart. Am I right in thinking this is similar to opposing?
Does anyone remember James Stockdale…the guy who was Ross Perot’s VP choice sometime back?
He wrote something once that I found during a really rough spot this past year. I think it encapsulates a lot of what elsa mentioned as tools for making life ok…
“You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.”
That thought has got me through many a bad night…
I have Pluto and Uranus in the 11th..sun 8th..and scorpio moon..and although I would characterize myself as an extroverted introvert (or vice versa) I must say I feel a keen lack of friendship right now. Which is not to say I feel shunned, or that I am shunning. I just feel - disconnected somehow, in need of intimate bonds, and it goes so deep I don’t know how to articulate it. So yeah, I have a lot of shoring up to do.
Interesting…just yesterday I called my husband. We’ve been having a multitude of problems in many areas, but I told him that though I didn’t know what would happen in the long run, I did know in the short run, if we did not find a way to make this a win-win situation and work together to solve a few of the major issues going on in our life…our family would not make it. You help me even when I don’t have a chance to read.
My friends have sort of fallen off in the recent tragedies, but I’m thinking it might be safe to call a few of them and open my listening ear back up.
Pyschiatric help 5 cents
And dharmahobo…love the quote!
I am very insular and don’t do friendships much, never have. I did build one this past year, but it’s under strain now.
I do marriage well, though. 
Er, I think . . .
Wow. That is spot on. You’ve cleared so much up for me! I was interested to see how this full moon would pan out since I had some interesting experiences on the past new moon.
The full moon in Taurus hit my 11th house (Friendships), and right now Pluto is right on my descendant. Saturn and Uranus are battling it out in my 4th and 10th houses. It has not been pretty.
The full moon was in my 7th house (and I am a Sun-Saturn Taurean). I wish something remarkable, romantic, sensual and wonderful happened last night but truth is, my BF went to bed early because he always does and I stayed up till 3am working on the computer… by myself. I can keep myself happy and amused when I am doing something I enjoy, but do I have to keep myself constantly BUSY like a workaholic to not feel “lonely”?
I have good solid friends but they’re hard to get a hold off. We’re so far apart, physically.
This is a story linked to a relationship and is about the Uranus Saturn opp, and I am looking for a place to stick it. I’ll just stick it in here cuz This seems as good a place as any these two are still not alone and how Saturn-Uranus is showing up.
It is my aung and uncle on election day and warning, it’s a very sad story, and it is not pretty. It can pain you a lot if you have a very sensitive nature.
My mothers brother is about 85 years old (she’s the baby of 4 kids at 79) and he married a woman a couple of years older than himself and they have been together what feels like eons.
well, they both now have severe dementia , Alzheimers or whatever, but here’s also a story to demonstrate the fact that MONEY is NOT enough to take care of oneself in older age or ill health, better to have also made written instructions…cuz ny uncle was always loaded, mega wealthy, I mean loaded with money, but this is where this has gotten them at this point in their lives.
they wanted to vote on Tuesday, thats all they just wanted to vote, they do everything together, they got in the car, which no one can take, because just because you have money doesn’t mean the right thing is going to happen if you get dementia, their kid didn’t take the car away (well…. NOW he did) but listen…
they got in the car. presumably to go vote. They got lost for FIFTEEN hours in Atlanta, GA. The police had been called and everything else, because everyone is all socially proper, and these people are severely disabled now, but no one can seem to do anything to help much.
They never found their way home, ever and would still be out there voting had some in a gas station eventually got my Uncles phone number off of a piece of paper out of his pocket, goodness knows how all that came about, and some kind person finally called someone to get them home.
FIFTEEN hours. They had no idea what they did all day. They cannot remember to wonder. They have no clue whether they voted or not. Of course they forgot what they went out for. They were not even able to get it together to find bathroom facilities and BOTH had had accidents (I told you …, tragic) The car was …… a gigantic mess on the inside.
Here’s the astrology. They both have strong grand trines in their charts, he is earth and I think maybe she is too. You see the accumulation of wealth, like these people used to travel and go shake hands with Princess Di and Charles and all that, but now…
they both have grand trines and I think if you superimpose the two charts it makes like a star of David or a double grand trine I don’t know.
you see it though. never apart. Yell at each other plenty but never apart.
This saturn opp uranus pattern does not look good for this situation as it is my understanding that the pattern will hit back and forth several times over the coming months.
I will examine their charts…without the birthtimes, I don’t have the birthtimes. But I have their chart and their marriage chart. I guess they’ve been married, oh, about 60 years.
sorry to have to tell such a sad story about an election day in 2008, but I doubt they are the only ones that went out to vote and forgot what they were doing and almost never made it home.
I am working on the 10th house - 10th house Taurus Capricorn flavored Sun. Saturn in Capricorn in the 6th house is trine that Sun. I lost my job a while back - about three weeks ago - and putting most of my energy into getting a new one. The solid friendships I get and I work on constantly. I have this Aquarian thing going (Gemini Moon 11th house and Gemini Mercury 11th house, Uranus in first house trine that Gemini Moon, Jupiter in Aquarius trine that Mercury) - and I thrive on good friendships.
I am hoping to start feeling a lot better with Pluto going into Capricorn.
My lacking area - the 7th house of relationship. Not sure how to buck up - till I get the job. Not sure how to buck up period. I did have a dream last night of someone I have liked for a long time at my former job - him I would consider in a big way. really like him - a Capricorn guy - but his Venus, Mars and Jupiter all in Scorpio (in my 4th house). Here is the area where I am weak.
I am devoted to my family. I have Scorpio in the 4th - we are all bonded to one another.
Loonsounds - what a story. All I can say is I hope that whoever “helps” these two people in the future doesn’t separate them in any way. I feel like bonds don’t break just because of dementia, but maybe I’m just romanticizing? Anyway, this couple gets to me but that may be because I can see myself in this story somehow, tho’ I’m a good bit younger than them. Bless ‘em.
Loonsounds, not to be insensitive, but after reflecting on your story it occurs to me we all went out to vote (SATURN)and never came back (URANUS). You know, everything is changing, and we’re not going back to whatever life was like before election day.
Anyway.. what amazes me about your aunt and uncle is that even in their current state, and despite the sad outcome, at the outset of their journey, they seemed to be ABSOLUTELY clear about what they wanted to do.. which was to make a choice.
Hm.
I lost what I thought was the only stable relationship in my life in the past two weeks, my “marriage” of eight years. It’s brought me closer to friends, though, and now I’m going to have to get a job because now he’s not there to support me through school. Moved back in with my mother until (if) I can get my own place.
Yup, I think that takes care of all the angles.
Thanks, maureen. *smiles*
(((SaD))) I’m so sorry. I was thinking a lot about you these past few days. I’m glad your friends are there for you. We are, too.
Thanks, kash. I know you’ve got my back, babe.
