Saturn Direct In Virgo: May 16th, 2009 - VeryModern, Elsa P and Spy Magazine
Astrology in real life
Most everyone is thinking seriously about reality as Saturn prepares to turn direct on May 16th. Minds are on business, thoughts are grounded and ultra practical.
I know two people planning to shut down parts of their business that are not profitable and I am thinking along the same lines myself. It’s as if I’ve got to figure out what is and is not feasible and I am searching my real experience (Saturn) for ideas (Virgo) and insights.
The other day a gal mailed me and mentioned Spy magazine which you have probably never heard of. It was only published for a short time (2 years). I was a subscriber and as far as I am concerned it was the best magazine ever.
When they stopped publishing it was a shock. I was just absolutely stunned and the gal who mailed me offered her opinion, “Something that good can only be sustained for so long…” Sobering thought.
I have thought of my blog in terms of Spy Magazine over the last couple days and think one is akin to the other. This blog and it’s predecessor, VeryModern evolved over time but both blogs have always been unique. I would hate my blog to wind up like Spy Magazine and I am brainstorming behind the scenes how to avoid it.
What is on your mind right now?

i loved spy magazine! the reciprocal book blurbs were so funny.
that’s pretty much where my head is, too. figuring out what will work and won’t for my biz, quitting the stuff that just isn’t making me money (or happy), planning, learning, research, working…i’m working my ass off here, really. but most of it’s the kind that can’t be seen easily.
i also have had the purge urge and know several others who have, so it’s got to be a widespread phenomena. specifically, i’m feeling driven to get rid of anything broken or not useful in my life on all levels right now.
think i have an autoimmune disorder. runs in the family. stress triggered, so go figure it would flare up when i least need it to.
that’s how these things work.
seeing the doctor in a couple hours…
(((wyrdling))) - let us know how it goes 
I just want to move the hell away out of my job and Evolve/Advance to something better.
Chucking out a mountain of clothes which I really, really can’t wear any more. Squaring up the finances for a heavy hit in the next few months. Forcing myself to sign up at the gym - must do it today, otherwise I will be the size of TWO houses!!
Hope all goes well Wyrdling..
Here in my corner of the world, I’m trying to adjust my routine to infuse a little more passion and joy in my day to day. Letting go of some long-held routines at work, (and life-long attitudes about everything) is a necessary part of this, and it’s proving to be much harder to do than I thought. It requires a whole new attitude. Wow. “Who am I without this and this and this and that?” “Will I still be valued if I don’t do these things?” Those are the questions I’m addressing a lot lately.
I am trying to figure out some way to make myself valuable in the world. Odds are I won’t get laid off this year (next year I will be fair game and a good target though) and thus I am trying to figure out some kind of plan to be set up in advance for if/when I get screwed over. I don’t have much to recommend me because my skills are artistic and writing (first things to go anywhere) and odds are high I will just have to move to my mom’s house and I can’t get a job there.
Problem is, my heart has started *screaming* that it’s had quite enough of settling and not getting to be creative on a regular basis any more (I have not had an interesting day job since 2001, my current job has had the more interesting bits whittled out over the last few years) and it refuses to compromise or get involved in say, going to plumbing school or learning how to be a court reporter or something more practical.
And I don’t want to start my own business. My heart’s not in that one either and it hasn’t enjoyed it when I tried to. But otherwise how can you work creatively? No big corporation is going to hire you for that.
So basically all I do all the time is angst about this. I cannot figure out a solution to the problem worth a damn.
Wyrdling, I hope everything is okay:( sending you some good health vibes!
A bit stressed about my partner (as I always am when he seems sad and introverted).
Waiting for the decision of two people who have offered to buy work…I’ve told them how much now wait wait wait.
thanks you all
i’ll let you know how it goes.
best to you on your roads… we all have our weight to carry…
..and more good vibes to you wyrdling…i seem to remember we share the venus in aries?…as problematic as that can be, i have also felt that youthful/engergetic placement to give some ’spring’ and bounce back ability…hope same for you!
Hi all,
I am still unemployed, and I hope Saturn direct in May means I will finally get a job. This has been a very long six months. May 16 is my birthday - so I hope that this is a good omen.

Sleep. It was a really long day at work today.
how did it go, W.?
“‘Something that good can only be sustained for so long…’ Sobering thought.”
Robert Frost - Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
*update
one framed piece of artwork sold, less than asking price but a fair price and so I accepted the offer.
I’m still waiting for the other person who asked for a commissioned painting.
I’m a bit anxious because I don’t have rent or bill money, but I’m well used to being poor so… who cares. I’m going to my parents to be put to work for a week, so that’s positive.
{{wyrdling}} aren’t autoimmune disorders fun?
Let us know what you find out, OK? And I promise if yours is anything like mine … it’s liveable. Maybe not our first choice, but it is liveable.
xo
