The Full Moon, December 12th 2008 That Is Scaring The Hell Out Of Everyone: Ass Check
Astrology in real life
Lilith writes regarding the full moon:
“I’m so relieved to have come across your blog! I must admit that I’ve been winding myself up unnecessarily about this full moon in Gemini, as all of the astro pages I’ve come across have painted a dismal picture that has left me quaking in my boots!”
Lilith - you’re welcome and welcome to the blog! I plan to do an ass check tomorrow and I bet not only will mine still be here, but so will yours and everyone else’s!
I mean people are fighting cancer and they are still here! We’re dealing with a FULL MOON for Godsakes. They’re pretty!!
Someone just tipped me $50 on a consultation. It was jarring!! Damn that Full Moon!
Everybody who still has an ass tomorrow.. please check in.
If you lose your ass, come here and tell us about it and maybe we can help you find it. If nothing else maybe you can get a laugh??
Many of the people who read here have been through hell and high water. We are not going to be done in my a moooooooooon. We are rebels, by God!!!!

Hey Elsa,
This pisces here has been working her ass off today. I’m fond of my ass and don’t want it to go away. Using that energy to get a lot done here at the job.
Personally I’d like a bit more ass please…been slacking off at the gym.
ROFL LMAO Elsa, an ass check … Shit, they can have a large portion of my ass matter of fact, my friend and I were reading thru one of my new vedic programs, he was reading what they said about me and it goes, “tends to have a large buttocks” and I went WAIT….stop reading right there. Enough about me, let’s go to yours.
Seriously, this full moon stuff is wild, I just read a vedic prediction,likewise bad, alarmist, he was predicting a natural disaster like an earthquake, and his worry time is ‘as Friday turns into Saturday’ (he lives in Cali).
OK then, anyway, where were all ominious (to the exact day ominous) predictions before poor Mumbai got all blasted to hell with terrorist murders and mayhem…
“OK then, anyway, where were all ominious (to the exact day ominous) predictions before poor Mumbai got all blasted to hell with terrorist murders and mayhem…”
True, and historically if you look at charts of disasters THEY DO NOT HAVE GRAND CROSSES IN THEM! This is why I keep saying careful (Saturn) what you read (Virgo) / put in your mind. And remember people are trying to CREATE content.
I’ve been reading through your posts and the thing is, my moon is at 21′ 09 sag in the eight house and natally squares my venus at 23′ 11 virgo in the fifth. I ran out of gas in front of this random woman’s house this afternoon and in the pouring rain, she gave me the rest of the gas in her gas can so I could drive down the road and then gave me twenty dollars to get a full tank of gas. Needless to say, it was the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time, and I had felt like I had no hope left for the kindness of strangers (transit saturn square moon) but there was someone willing to lend a helping had when I really needed it. in addition to that, I’m a painter and I’ve never been more inspired in all of my life and my art has never meant more and reflected who I was as a person than it has recently, because I just throw myself into my work as a way to deal with the stress and uncomfortable emotions I feel. So, I really think that it’s all about how you deal with the energy, and I really give all my best wishes to everyone out there who’s having a hard time. Sometimes the only way to go is straight on through.
over the last month lost my job and the cat died. now my youngest is signing a lease and moving out & i’m officially on my own — an empty nester. lease signing is tomorrow or saturday, in sync with the full moon, and of course, we’re all strong gemininiacs. on the bright side, i have loads more time to study astrology and comment here… 
I am new to this site…just joined in a few days ago. Born 19.07.56 3 pm.Eastern Canada. Well this full moon has already kicked my ass and it hasnt even happenned yet. Last time Uranus and Saturn joined up(comjunct) was in 1988…opoossite my venus(square mars). With PLuto on my ascendant. Help!!!
I had a divorce (my choice) and then a car accident that eventually left me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Here I am 20 years later and those two are at it again only this time I am seeing it as the blast to send me back into orbit after many years of being sort of off the planet.(well slowly re entering)
I have been involved…loosely… with someone who I care deeply for …who has the same grand cross…his PLuto Uranus Mars in Virgo opp saturn and chiron. Its never been a long term thing but as my first sexual relationship in many many years…its had a huge impact on me and brought up a lot of stuff. It seems the planets are pushing me to move on so…things are ending…and its stirring up all the divorce stuff.Guess I never really cried…(enough) .
So…I figure I need this kick in the ass real good…even if it hurts like hell. Its wake up time. Good luck and see you on the other side.
Ass check — my ass is going to be firmly planted at home relaxing on a day off after a very, very hectic couple of weeks, in preparation for the final week of classes this semester (which, for me, starts with finals on Saturday). I’ll also be studying, but I happen to like what I’m studying, so that’s relaxing to me, if that makes sense. LOL
My ass is also going to be starting a diet, since it’s become a bit fuller since starting school (lack of time, lack of sleep, lack of desire to control stress eating = lack of clothes that fit properly!)
Other than work this week being crazy (I have spent months sitting around bored and NOW after I get back from vacation they want me doing stuff all day), so far nothing bad happening. Just annoying.
Wow, moon in gemini, saturn in virgo, uranus in pisces: Playboy Honors Virgin Mary by Putting Her on Cover
My ass is gonna be planted in my brand new comfy office chair (my hands and shoulders are already rejoicing) working hard on some weirdness that showed up in my current project while I listen to podcasts (new music to be discovered!) and enjoy the sun that comes in my balcony door.
And I think I will go to the observatory tomorrow night to look at the pretty full moon 
I was putting something in the fridge at work and my daughters coworker and friend said, ‘Looking at you from this angle, it looks like you have lost some weight. Have you lost some weight? And I said, Hey, you are not supposed to be looking at me from that angle, but thanks, yes a little. Saturn in Virgo has me slimming down a little. Anyone else slimming down?
i dunno, it seems like i’ll be coming out of the marathon ready for nice relaxing weekend tomorrow. looks good.
The surgeon should call with my daughter’s MRI results tomorrow. I’m not as nervous about it as I thought I would be. This full moon is hitting her dad’s 20 Gemini Sun tomorrow and he’s flying to Florida, so I’m watching that situation.
the fire alarm went off at my daughter’s xmas concert tonight but her solo was GRAND!
Saturday was baaaaaad. Sunday was weepy. Then I started focusing on what Elsa has been saying all along - use the energy out there to accomplish something good.
The whole week turned on a dime. Like fairy dust got sprinkled on it.
Tomorrow will be the big day - I wait tables, remember, which is not a job you want on any full moon most of the time - and I’m ready for it. I’m ready because I’m taking action in areas of my life that coincide with the planets and stations presented to me and fueled by the most beautiful moon I’ve ever seen.
I soaked up some rays of that tonight after work. Even scored a very nice kiss beneath the glow. Works for me.
My ass will still be here tomorrow.
Tomorrow…I’ll be making deliveries and then dancing my ass off…at a fund raiser for a law firm that represents the truly down and out.
If you’re in the Vancouver area tomorrow and need to dance: (or at least would like to hear of some good in the world)
I have faced so many fears and shed so many tears these past two years alone— what difference are more tears and more fears (should that be what’s triggered during this **scary** full moon)? Again and again, I marvel at my ability to pick myself up, chalk up my losses, find laughter and meaning, and keep going. Whichever way the wind blows on Friday, I’m gonna ride the wave and remember who I am.
I can’t sleep. Thinking in bed about my Gemini Father.
My parents were seperated when I turned 10. I started to attend a different catholic school for the N side of town and my father would pick me up for the weekends. We had a nice time.
My father and his girlfriend. My dad was still married to my mother and they were still seeing each other. My dad’s girlfriend was still married to her husband but he worked on the railroad so when he was gone she would stay with my father and its during these times my father would pick me up for visits..I like my fathers girlfriend, and I really did not understand the gravity of any of what they were doing.
After all, I was only 10..
Then one day the mother superior called me to the office and she asked me with the priest questions about these relationships and they explained to me my fathers behavior was called adultry and it was against the bible and a sin. I don’t remember what I said I just knew I was very ashamed and I know from that point on, I was no longer invited to any classmates houses and it made school a little lonely because nobody else had parents doing this.
(before that, I thought it was normal)
The Mother Superior decided to have a teacher parent conference with my father and my father came to my school and refused to talk to the nun.
So they had my teacher talk to him
(unfortunately, my teacher was not a nun she was a single young woman and my father at the time looked like John Travolta) She was smitten with him and my father asked her out on a date right in front of me. She told him no. They never talked about my grades or religion and Mother Superior did not bring the subject up again. from that point, I was required to take an extra class on catholic teachings. I think it was good that mother superior explained to me this behavior was wrong.
In my own life, I caught my exhusband cheating and I left him immediately against both of my parents wishes. I am very glad that this nun took the time in my life. Today on this full moon for no apparent reason at all, I thought this. And I was thinking how fortunate I was
that she took the time to take a stand.
I appreciate these posts because I’m feeling this energy hard enough. Who needs panic atop it? My plan: if in doubt, take a nap.
I still have an ass.
OTOH, Betty Page died. {sniff}

Woke up with ass in tact. Feel pretty good all in all. Took a peek at the chart and it looks like beautiful math.
Hmm, the past week has been hell, but I feel empowered today. The sun is shining too :-). I still have an ass (and a big lovely shapely one at that :-))
Ass = here. Quaking in my boots at what is set to happen today but sure my ass will remain in place.
“beautiful math” - that’s going to be my mantra today! thanks!
I am going to bed!
I developed a bit of an irrational fear last night and I couldn’t sleep.
Then I started writing and my computer lost everything as Vista decided to shut my computer down without saving anything of what I was doing.
I was going to give up but then… the flow started and I wrote quite a bit.
I feel very satisfied.
I’m a strong girl. No matter what happens today, well, I am sure I can handle it!
it’s weird because after a crescendo of freaking out, i feel like i finally grounded this morning. i wasn’t expecting it because tension was on the rise all week, and i had an interview this morning, so i thought it’d continue. but i actually felt very in-control this morning. strange.
should’ve mentioned i’m a virgo/sag so i was in the cross!
I don’t feel anything around this full moon. In fact there’s been no build-up of tension, weirdness. Nuthin.
Like many others, this year has pretty thoroughly seared me spiritually, psychologically, etc.
By now I’m not sure as hell not afraid of this full moon–not for myself anyway…sorry for anyone who is freaked out by it…
Today I’m heading up to the mountains again. Camp tonight. Climb high tomorrow and stay until dark…
My lawyer just called to say we have a deal.
: stunned :
Hey Kashmiri! I live in Smithers. Hola!
Woke up this morning. Got my ass on the train and to work. Feeling good feeling great.
I was told via the scary horoscope that you mentioned in another post, not to have ‘a conversation’ with my 7th house person, because it would likely backfire, probably with some actual fire and maybe a tank or two. So I waited and waited…and am still waiting. But last night very late at night, I got a text from my exboyfriend/idunnowhatheis saying that he’s getting laid off.
Bless his little heart.
Got turned down for the house we wanted. Saw another one that might be better and might be more willing to work with less than ideal credit.
I wanted to go to the courthouse and elope this morning but we couldn’t afford the $50 for a license. I might be crazy but I thought it would be the perfect time to make our commitment official.
Life is good. Just a little frustrating.
My baby’s ass is just fine! The surgeon called and it’s a simple cyst, easily taken out. So thank you all for the good thoughts and wishes, thank you so much.
Sorry about the house, Lupa. I hope you find its equal asap. And if you had a tip jar, I would send you a little something for your nuptials.
Yay Del!
Today, at lunch, my fortune cookie said, “A surprise announcement will free you.” And how! XD
My ass is A-OK. Many things — along with some big, important people — fell down around me, but I am fine, like that one house that’s still standing untouched while all the others were decimated in the tornado. It’s a very, very peculiar feeling. A “there but for the grace of God go I” kind of thing.
Speaking of asses, I read the column (for many of the signs) that everyone is referencing and it chaps mine something awful. Some of the language used is extraordinarily draconian for a freakin’ general sun sign prediction. Sheez.
Elsa, thanks for taking the time to talk to me the other day. You soothed my mood considerably, and the circumstances that followed have brightened my outlook, pretty much as you said they would.
All this stuff was right on my angles, full moon on top like a cherry. I was freaked, Elsa talked me off the ledge. Ain’t no freakout like a Pluto rising/Leo moon’s freakout, I say
Woo hoo Del!
Right on Dell!!!!! What a relief!! 
i am SO glad Del. it kinda puts the stuff i’m stressing about in better perspective, too. lupa, i hope your new house is better than the one you didn’t get.
sending good vibes to all out there who could use ‘em. send me some back, willya?
Right back atcha, baby!
Good lord… More for the “There but for the grace of God go I” files, a coworker’s son who’s been treated for Ewing’s sarcoma for a while had an MRI done today and they found spinal metastases - he found out about it this afternoon and canceled everything he has scheduled for the next few weeks.
I’m just floored at all of the kids going through terrible times this week. When I pick up my baby today, she’s going to get inundated with kisses and hugs and ice cream and whatever the heck else she wants. Within reason, of course, this being Cap season and all.
I was inclined to blow off everybody’s panic. Then I thought about how my week’s gone: stressful week at work, and then I got sick yesterday. Oh, wait…
Though I am about better now after calling in sick today. Yay full moons, I do well under them.
I am still trying to figure out what everyone was freaking out about with the full moon thing - in the scheme of scary, exciting transits, the last three months surely have outgunned a full moon.
At any rate, I checked again and my ass is still fine.

['I guess I should be nervous huh?']
Togi! Smithers?? ::faints::: I went to Smithers when I was 12. First and last time I ever downhill skied, I don’t like coming down fast from up high!
And I also went to the music festival before I moved south…such a great, great festival!
BTW Max, I’m not scared at all…probably because I went AWOL for 4 days. I came back all perky! Even my ass is perky!
So this supposed “scary full moon” had some weird effect on me (I’m not sure if this was all in my head). I know this particular astrologer warned that this is not a particularly friendly moon, but I found that I was socializing a lot more today - with a lot of relating with women. The caveat? I had no filter! At work today, we were talking about how people needed alcohol in order to dance and have fun in parties. I happen NOT to be one of those people, and judgmentally (in a very brash Aries manner), I said something like, “People should just get their sticks out of their asses and learn to have fun for once!” I think that offended a lot of other people because they are much more… “controlled” than I would be.
*shrugs* Oh well….
Partytime for me. Later
BTW Max, I’m not scared at all…probably because I went AWOL for 4 days. I came back all perky!
I snozzed Sunday and Monday. I don’t think I was sick, exactly, or not really sick, but it was cold as hell outside and nothing important was going on so I figured I’d go with it. 36 hours of sleep later, much better, if slightly woozy to begin with. I dunno, Gemini seems like a pretty harmless sign for a full moon. (’Would you SHUT UP? Jeez!’)
Even my ass is perky!
Does it bring coffee Dr. Pepper and ice cream?
“People should just get their sticks out of their asses and learn to have fun for once!”

['Amen.']
Awww Del, thanks for the thought. I just assume it wasn’t meant to be today. Just fell at the wrong moment between paychecks, ya know? So glad your kid is ok!
I picked up my big kids a little earlier this evening and brought them home for the weekend. We’ve laughed and laughed and watched tv together and played with the dogs. My oldest son is back to his sunny Leo moon self I remember from a few years ago. He is talking about his plans for college and just generally being engaged and part of the family.
A little more than seven years ago they went to live with their dad, who was pressing for custody. 11 years ago we divorced. I have said since the day I left him that eventually they would understand some of the decisions I made and they would see through their dad’s emotional manipulations and know that I took the high road every chance I could. Most of the time I believed that and I sure am glad that they are starting to prove me right. They love their dad and have an ok relationship with him. And he never succeeded in poisening their relationship with me with his anger. Two goals accomplished.
I made it through the day with my ass intact. That grand cross didn’t stop me from running my mouth (typing fingers) here though. *laugh*
My ass is OK, but god my pants were grumpy.
The day is almost over, the full moon is absolutely gorgeous, and my ass is just fine, thanks for asking.
ok made it through. I’m glad for those who had an easy day. This thing was on my natal moon and fired off half my chart. Tears today. But overall managable. Ass intact. Thanks for vibes sent.
I spoke too soon. I got to my party and before I even made it in the door my friend (who was hosting) was on the phone getting the news that her father had died. Needless to say I went home.

My 15 year old Virgo daughter who has lived with her dad for the last seven years has decided to move in with me again full time. She called me just now to tell me that she’s telling people at school that she’s going to be leaving even though she hasn’t announced her wishes to her dad yet. He is going to be angry but won’t be able to prevent it.
We are waiting to hear back on the house we applied to rent. My daughter’s final decision hinges somewhat on that factor as she loves the school district the house is in.
Consider me thoroughly jarred. I’ll be back for the ass check.
p.s. My oldest son is now 17 and is starting to be human again.
