Saturn In Virgo: Work Stoppage… Slow Down: Update On The Free Email Consultation

Behind the scenes @ ElsaElsa

virgoSeems things have slowed down around here and I wish it wasn’t the case. Writing has just become really difficult for a myriad of reasons.

I finished up the consultation by email that I am going to post here today and I could not possibly have picked a more difficult chart. It’s a fairly brave thing to do - make your work available to the public to be scrutinized and whatever. I didn’t think about it much because I do this on other levels every day, but that was before I saw the towering challenge I faced when the gal’s chart popped up on screen.

I had a pretty smooth time with the charts in the astrology classes so I guess I expected this to be the same but it wasn’t. I groked the situation and thought it was a given I was going to die on stage. Whether via doing lousy work publicaly, by pissing off the client, by pissing off the audience, by pissing off potential future clients… one way or the other I was going to wind up hosed and you just ask yourself, why did I think to do this anyway? ‘Cause I’m stupid?

But I did think of it, I’d made a commitment so there was no option but to follow through and do the best I could and there are really a number of masters here.

First I have to help the client. That I give the woman something she can use is primary. Second, I have to maintain my integrity. If there is something difficult to say, I have to say it. Third, I have a responsibility to the audience here not to bore them. Fourth there is a time frame and it’s short. Does this sound like a tall order to you? Well it is.

Having no way out, I went to work. Sometimes I ask the universe to help me write to someone. I know what I have to say but ask for words the person will be able to receive and be able to internalize and apply. I sure did that this time because I was just boggled at the the job ahead of me, I wonder if you’ll be able to tell.

I think everything came out okay, much credit goes to the gal herself because as you’ll see she’s got extraordinary energy but I wonder if I went about this all wrong and that’s Saturn in Virgo part. I have to scrutinize my thinking.

I wonder if it was an error to call this an “consultation by email” as consultations should be private by their nature.
I wonder if I should have approached this like I did the charts in the classes - if that would have made a difference.

I definitely want to do this again so I want to figure this stuff out but it slows a person down. This is not lightweight thinking, at least not to me.

I will say it was hard but I am happy with how it turned out. Careful readers between the lines and intuitive people will get a lot out of the thing and I did wind up enjoying myself because the gal is just so bright. It was sort of a collateral benefit getting to interact with her… co-create you could say. This was new for me.

I wrote her this, “If the people on the blog flip out, just let them. You will have everything that will be posted in advance”.

We’re conspiring, see? We are conspiring to entertain you, help her and also show what I do and how I do it. But make no mistake this was work on the knife’s edge, especially considering the subject matter over the last few days which is the other thing I wanted to share with you.

All the drama on this blog synched up with the problems this woman is trying to resolve and I guess in conclusion, I’d just say that life is fantastically inspired and intricate but it sure is grueling to go through at times.

If anyone has thoughts about how I ought to frame this kind of work, I’d be happy to hear them. Might make more sense to get a load of the work though which is another thing.

Now I have to figure out how to best serve it because I have not posted anything like this before. Er… do I come up with a format? Make the format variable..?

I got news for people: This is not an easy job. I am glad for that but you know. I am also not getting much done and the reason is because I keep picking hard things to do. I am hoping next week is full of easy things to do but I am not holding my breath.

All the best to you, Elsa. I’m inspired by your commitment to your work and by how you manage to retain healthy perspective in the face of so much on multiple fronts. And as someone who has trouble with creative expression, this goes twofold! :)

I really think that your work is excellent! You have a unique style, which is the Elsa Elsa trademark. There is so much that I admire about you, but your integrity tops the list. I could not possibly offer you advice on how to do things differently, I don’t think that you should do things differently. You change and evolve as it is and I think that you know when you need to make changes or try different things instinctively. Maybe it is something about being from the desert.

Well thanks you guys - you were in the class(es). I thought that work was good and I hoped to meet that standard. This really different and while all the chart present some kind of puzzle this one was brutal and part of the reason was the fact I knew it would be made available at large, forever and ever.

I mean, I am going to stand by work, everyone knows that but I might have been tossed a softer ball right out of the gate.

Remember this will be the first impression most people have of what I do behind the scenes and what will not be apparent (early on) is how varied this job is. You saw that in the class. All the charts were different and I did my best on each so this is like that except for this was (is) an exceptionally hard nut to crack. It’s just took everything I had to not be limp on the thing, like keeping your composure as you walk ‘cross the field to put you neck on the block to be chopped.

I took this on before I had the news about Dora and before I knew I was going to have family surface after 10 years and lemme tell you my family has some energy.

I joined facebook too.. the soldier was due home A WEEK ago but has had various things occur and I am trying to support him as well.

Then there is the cheating fiasco on this blog… I really don’t mean to upset people other then the fact I know I will but I feel compelled to communicate the things I TRY to communicate and sometimes they just come crashing down or so many fires come up in so many places I am just at a loss to manage them all.

And them there is the spreadsheet thing! I really don’t want any more skills to tell you the truth but Saturn insists.

In whatever case, I’m tryin’ what else can I?

I’m excited to read it…I don’t think I’ve ever read something here that I didn’t glean something new or have something old reinforced & “click.”

Unrelated but I wanted to thank you, HQ, the mechanic and whoever else was involved in getting the boards up…it’s amazing!

All kinds of people are needed in the world, including those brave enough to speak the uneasy things to say, like you. I understand the terror of putting your words out there very publicly to be criticized, but you’ve done really well so far and you will continue to do so. You could even mess up very clearly, very publicly, and you know what? I believe you’d salvage it either by clarifying or trying again.

Doing the hard stuff is how we learn. :)
