oh holy moly– I’m not getting out of bed till it’s passed. thanks for the warning!

Oh, I’ll be sitting on the bed where I am every waking hour that I’m not at work or the gym.

Elsa, it’s the third comment your blog induces me to make today (as the French say: ” jamais deux sans trois”…)

At the moment I am writing Luna is at 22 degr. Sag. and just passed squaring Saturn/Uranus. She apparently survived the transit and did not “brake apart”.

Now, in a few hours time, when Luna will conjunct Pluto, that’s another story. She probably will amplify, but Luna also is a sort of a mother. Can even think of her as a “jewish mother”. So no need to worry about her meeting Pluto, even if in Capricorn.

But its a nice question you raised. We should not only wish FROM the planets, but also (sometimes at least) “wish FOR them”.

PS. Already thought of the Eskimos, even in the bitter cold of their Igloos they can have cosiness and procreate!

I know exactly what I will be doing and I already see how this is shaping up. Already prepared for tomorrow to be tense, now I know for sure and will be prepared. This is going to happen in my 6th house of service to others (but my son will not see it as service). To boot, it will be conjunct/opposition to my Ascendant/Descendant confirming a relationship will be involved.

Gee Elsa, the last time you got me to look at a specific transit was the Saturn/Uranus opposition right on top of my Midheaven.

If I buy into Gian’s “Jamais deux sans trois” (which I have too much French culture in me to ignore), then I need to be on the lookout for a 3rd transit to my angles.

I’ll be at work. We have a kennel full of dogs for the holiday weekend and a full schedule booked for grooming. I hope it’s a smooth day. It has been a really good holiday for the shop so far.

I’ll be thankful Pluto is off my Sun, and turning the page in this crazy book of life.

‘At the moment I am writing Luna is at 22 degr. Sag. and just passed squaring Saturn/Uranus. She apparently survived the transit and did not “brake apart”.’

At the moment you wrote that, GP, I had been stuck for two hours (Saturn) at a freeway closure due to a freak eight-car fatal accident (Uranus) that took forever to clean up. I wasn’t the only one trying to get back home (Moon). There were thousands of us.

I don’t know what you’re smoking, but Moon-Pluto is no joke, and especially the first conjunction of the cycle. I intend to take serious note of what’s going on. And you can go on trolling or pooh-poohing or whatever it is you do so well. I fully intend to take the Saturn role and ride your ass from here on out. Consider me your very own personal fan club.

i’ll be at home, usually working about that time. (yeah, even on the sat. after thanksgiving.) i was thinking of going out in the eveing, though.

Loonsounds - sorry for continuing the foreign language talk. French is such a part of my daily life I easily forget that it’s not second nature for others.

Jamais 2 sans 3 = Never 2 without 3

Or, as we are more likely to talk in English about how things come in 3’s.

Thanks Stacey, that clarification is much appreciated.

If I understood the implications of Moon conjunct Pluto, maybe I could respond with a semi-intelligent response.

However, maybe the way I have been feeling this past week may be leading up to this astrological event. I just want to be left alone…completely, and for a very long time. I am so sick of going through the motions every day, of taking care of everyone and everythng. Of having dinner on the table at 6 o’clock on the dot. I want to tell everyone to take a hike (and that is the PG version…I’d really like to say something else.) Make a sandwich, or don’t eat at all, I don’t care. Just leave me the hell alone, I’m exhausted. But I have this ridiculous inability to shirk my responsibility, so I just keep on keepin’ on. Damn you, Saturn LOL.

My family and I were in a huge traffic tie up on Thursday as well and there was an ambulance in my neighborhood (little and quiet) yesterday and a friend’s father died and my stepmom is having major heart surgery. Sirens indeed.

I’ve been retreating from the outside world for most of this weel. Haven’t really gone out like I usually do.

I woke up this morning feeling depressed, and I can’t pinpoint why. Just this heavy, anxious feeling.

I’m actively trying to make it go away LOL.

What I really wish I knew is how my son is handling it today. All that Cap, and this? His emotions are so damned volatile on a regular day, I can’t fathom what’s going on with him. And I have no way to find out right now. At the moment, he is all but lost to me.

I was about to head out for Black Friday shopping with my sister and nephew, feeling very skeptical over whether my ex- who was supposed to visit me after a long disappearance- would ever show (he didn’t), and feeling quite like picking on my exes by harrassing them via text message.

I gave in to those urges and purposely bugged ex boyfriends via text message- sort of my version of drunk dialing. I’m sure not one of them appreciated my needling.

I woke up at 5 a.m. on FIRE to completely gut my kid’s bedroom - the closet, drawers, under the bed, everything. I found the tiny clothes I had been saving for years and in the closet, the ultrasound from when I was in the 7th month. I thought about how much has happened to us in the past nine years, how it’s all over and completely transformed, and I had a nice, short cry about twenty minutes ago. The room is now much more functional and streamlined and rid of superfluous past crap. Now I’m going to tackle the bathroom, and I’m sure there’s nothing in there that will jostle me. But who knows?

Hah, Lexie, you never know.

The conjunction is about 30 minutes away and I’m about to move things around in my home office..I’m in the middle of discussions by text with my clever Aries son who engineers my website when he gets time, and he’s probably feeling maternal pressure,(Moon/Pluto!) bless him as I’ve asked him how to fix a problem I’m having..he’s got precious little free time, but he chooses to look after my site’s nuts and bolts..all very Capricorn isn’t it.. I was a lousy, terrified teenage mum to him..he’s grown into a fine young man despite that (probably much aided by a warm and steady stepdad - my woodcarver man) and I’m so glad he’s my son. I always feel maternal guilt on the very rare occasions when I have no choice but to ask him to help me out, but he’s the one who has ensured this happens.. serves me darned well right…we love each other lots.. poor lad has Sun/Chiron in Aries in 4th too.. what kind of start in life is that! So Capricorn stuff happening here.. also sorted out a few shelves in the wardrobe..not all.. hey I have Neptune transiting the Asc ..can’t be THAT Capricornian..

10:42 AM in Arizona, which is (I think) the same as mountain time (Arizona does not practice daylight savings time)… I can’t remember what time the conjunction was exact but I do have news to report to the astro-family who reads Elsa

Something has happened, and it’s not terribly upsetting to me but it could have been, on another day, in a different kind of mood, and it will cause a certain invonvenience.

so what happened is that my partner calls me down stairs, (I had asked him to open some boxes that had been down there for about a month, 4 boxes containing a cedar bed frame) I am not strong enough to open them as they are huge with very thick cardboard & all kinds of metal tapes and stuff keeping the boxes closed).

This is one of the last of a big session of e-bay purchases on my part…an not a cost free item, rather expensive. …what was (supposed) to be a gorgeous wooden free form cedar bed frame, kind of like log cabin style, well, there are huge and I mean gigantic ’splits’ or ‘gashes’ all over the wood of the pieces, some of these gashes are big enough to put your whole hand in them. The piece overall, this bedframe is a nightmare.

the thing is a almost a complete disaster, the posts being much more ruined than the actual head and foot board which will be salvageable, but the main thing is that the thing is just so HEAVY to ship back. I will have to work with the seller and see what she wants to do. She knew that I had to hold off on opening it due to the shear heaviness of the thing, so today I will be telling her what happened.

OK so here is Venus (what should have been virtually a beautiful piece of art in the form of a bed frame made of cedar) the cost and the cost of shipping is also Venus [venus is money](we are talking over 500 dollars on this cedar bedframe) (this conjunction of Pluto moon is within orb to sqare my Venus at 5 degrees Aries)….basically demolation (Pluto)

(capricorn, saturn) DRYNESS, wood was shipped to Arizona, if the wood was not treated, it is going to get dried out and crack/split (here in Az we have to keep little humidifiers in the guitars)

(capricorn, saturn) COLD (that shouldn’t matter, it was shipped fron RI, if it was built to last a winter there, this should not happen due to cold, still…)

Moon….a bed? does anyone know if a bed and bedding is ruled by the Moon? I wouldn’t be surprised, anyway, it is a home item, a home decorative item, that will be the moon.

Pluto…demolition, damage in ‘transit’ LOL, this thing traveled a long way, duel word on transit there…

OK, now, so I am not feeling a chill to the bone on this, but it is a similar phenomenon…damage to the core structure of something. It’s a little disappointing but in no way some huge upset because it will get resolved favorably whether it is a return of my money or a replacement but it will probably take plenty of TIME (Saturn).

If I transit is going to hit, I’d rather have it hit at the structure of my ’stuff’ then say, at the structure of human life, person, loved ones, beloveds…but these splits in this wood are immense and make me think of … well, earthquakes, if on a larger scale

Am I bothered that I was not worried about this upcoming transit & did not let it ruin my evening, HELL NO! Am I happy to get the warning from Elsa and to have had that in the back of my mind, Hell Yes, I think it helps, I am like, Mz Mellow on this matter, thanks for the heads up!

Reeesponsible! Going down the “to do” list and checking to see what needs doing next. Very boring but very necessary.

I feel empty, but that’s how I’ve been feeling for almost a week so no shockers there.

After the conjunction, my ex called to talk about the conversation we had last night where I yelled at him and we were both pretty cordial about it. Still don’t know what to think about the future, though.

About an hour after the exact conjunction - I was on the phone with my best friend in Denver at that point - I had to go to the house and find my swimsuit for the getaway my man and I are going on in about an hour.

I unlocked the door, opened it…and I was gutpunched. They are in the process of moving out themselves, and holy shit, the debris of a life, scattered hither and yon in haphazard piles.

Thank God I have escape from this tonight, or I’d be in a puddle of fear and panic. Did I do the right thing? I know I did, but, man. It may have been my idea, but seeing that just…I have no words for the visual impact of it.

I’m going to the shower to wash it away from my surface, and then I’m running away from it to lose myself in someone who is so good to me I wonder why the hell I waited so long to leave the debris of the broken marriage behind me.

O, also, I threw him out of the house again today…about an hour after my last post about the bed. He’s on a sulk and I am just not in the mood. He has a place to go and to live, but this has been coming since my four am wake up call this am when he decides to do laundry in the basement at 4 am which caused my dog to alert to noise in the basement and my dog scrambling fast out of the bed, jumping on my stomach.

Of course I let him know, I am just not into that staying up all night long lifestyle anymore. Too bad to be so in tune with someone that they cannot hide (and I cannot help but feel, see and hear) how testy they are feeling. Even though he ‘did all the right things’ (helped with some things, etc) doesn’t matter, attitude trumps behavior. That ‘pour me’ vibe just comes straight through..in his tone of voice and his demeanor, neither of us can pretend, although he is denying, which makes it worse. I am hoping a break will help.

I am confused about the Moon/Pluto conj. at 1 degree cap being a three pronged thing. I would expect it every month until Pluto leaves 1 degree cap, since moon will pass that exact spot every month. I am assuming there is an emphasis on the critical degree thing and Pluto being new in Cap, but why only three times, can someone help clarify me on that, many thanks.

If you will, please post the babies first name. I like to pray for someone who is ill by using their first name. thanks.

Loon, I think it has to do with it being the first pass. the first touch having the most power as it is new. every other touch will carry the memory of the first touch and a certain familiarity.

Thanks Satori. I am still a little confused about why we are talking about 3 passes, specifically the number 3. I am sure there is a reason, I just don’t know what it is. Anyone? Tx

(((((((PixieDust))))))) remember, tomorrow is another day and you will may come to another conclusion then.

as El Gallo says in The Fantasticks:

“There is a curious paradox

That no one can explain.

Who understands the secret

Of the reaping of the grain?

Who understands why Spring is born

Out of winter’s laboring pain?

Or why we all must die a bit

Before we grow again.

I do not know the answer.

I merely know it’s true.

I hurt them for that reason

And myself a little bit too.

satori, thank you

I needed that. The jury is still out on my condition, but the discussion it prompted brought up all kinds of uncomfortable stuff (i.e. honesty) I never would have talked about otherwise. I wish I didn’t censor myself the way I often do, but many people don’t like intensity. I didn’t like all the information I got out of it, but I truly wanted to define and deal with reality and not illusion.

I have to believe it’s all to the good, ultimately, and your comment reminded me of that. Thanks again.
PD

uhm, i meant exact, the second time around…

(with constant child interruptions ;P )

(((kash)))

My day was good overall. My only disappointment was in my coworkers who were surly and refusing to do their jobs properly. I am in a position of some authority but have to tread carefully as a dog groomer instructing the bathers/preppers. They have to do their job right or the finished results are poor. I feel very frustrated because I would never do a job poorly. My boss is a very non-confrontational Libra so it falls on me and the other groomer (boss is a groomer) to try and gently instruct the bathers. Monday I’m going to have to attempt to give constructive feedback in the hopes of gaining better finished results without losing an employee.

I also observed my Saturn ruled man become nearly overwhelmed by fear around his job. He is in electronics sales and had very low sales on Friday. Going back in on Saturday he was worrying about being laid off if his numbers didn’t improve, and about his income. The day improved for him once he was at work but since he went in to work mid-afternoon the moon/Pluto thing hit him just before he left.

To update on an above situation that I reported, I am working with the seller/manufacturer and I feel confident that money will be back in my account and this bed either returned to them or used as firewood, their choice. But the person is not unpleasant to deal with (you can tell early). Overall yesterday was excellent and I actually got all my holiday gifts wrapped, so I have been in a very happy mood with the giftgiving season. People still yell at me for “too much” but it’s not as bad as usual during Decembers.

satori- that was awesome!

kashmiri- that really sucks! I’m sorry!

PixieDust- I believe that everything will work out for you! Of course, I am pathologically optimistic, but I do believe that!
