Do you suffer from SAD? People with Seasonal Affective Disorder get the winter blues and I recently have become aware of how prevalent and serious this problem can be. Deprived of sunlight, people see their mood drop and it stays that way until May or so when the days get longer.

I wrote these blogs about depression today, I am trying to pull my house together. I am depressed about this because if you’ve been reading me awhile then you know I already went through a living hell fixing this house some years ago (and court in regards to that ::rolls eyes) and now I have to do it again.

I also thought the soldier would be here to help me… er, I mean do it for me but as you can see that is not meant to be. He is helping me in the way he can help me (he working hard and sending money) but as far as doing what has to be done, I am on my own… again.

Regarding, Astrology, Society, Mars, Anger and Depression, I just want to make it clear, I am not Tom Cruise. In fact, I loathe the man for telling pregnant women how they do and do not feel when their hormones fall off a cliff as if he’d know.

I don’t know what major depression is. I do know what “depression” is though, when it is situational and I have a lot of clients who contact me when Saturn contacts their Moon and they find themselves depressed.

Saturn in Virgo and it is throwing many who have Sagittarius Moons for a loop. If your Moon is in Sadge, you are naturally buoyant and when you find yourself sluggish… well it’s so foriegn, many don’t even know they are depressed.

Togi writes regarding the repression of Mars energy in our culture:

“We were just not meant to live this way. Look how many people are on anti-depressants and other mood stabilizers?!”

That’s right - people are drugged you and passive. Those anti-depressants do what? they kill the sex drive!

Don’t get me wrong, I know there is such a thing as clinical depression but for many, they’d be better off to treat the problem with endorphins.

Now I don’t know about the rest of you but the Moon is in Aquarius and Uranus is aspecting both Venus and Saturn and personally I am getting shocked left and right.

I got some really bad news this morning - devastating but had a flash of intuition and wrote this:

“and now bad news… which may turn out to be good ::rolls eyes:::”

Within 2 hours, I wrote this:

“possible intervention from the angel on my shoulder”

Now I have been having reversals like this all day. It’s like pure chaos, never mind I woke up at 2 AM with that Uranus buzz going.

Here is a question for y’all, especially those of you who have been through situational depression. What helps the most? Just as importantly, what should be avoided?

Astrologically, I am talking about a Virgo Moon suffering a Saturn transit and feeling that now is forever.

Thank you…

A Touch Of Crash - Depression-Era Chic

“The duds say it all - and it’s depressing.

One of the most popular styles appears to hark back to the impish, newsboy getup of the 1930s: baggy trousers, caps, pinstriped vests, oxford lace-up shoes and utilitarian handbags…”

This might sound like a weird question, but I’m being serious. How does one know if they are one of those “unhappies” or if they are buoyant?

It’s a great question and I am sure some people have no idea. Other do though. I recall on one of the cock-blocking bits I mentioned (girl)friends who when you start dating a man (and spending less time with them / abandoning them to a degree), they methodically take the man out to restore the status quo and several people copped to doing exactly this.

When your friend is happy, are you able to be happy for them even when you are not happy yourself? I suppose that’s the litmus test.

Lynn Hayes of the Astrodynamics blog writes on People Who Hate Me, Guessing Reality:

“I’m just impressed that you find time to go to the gym.”

Thank you, Lynn but for a person like me the gym is non-negotiable. As many know, my sister is also an astrologer,we have both studied since we were pre-teen and she caught on to this Mars of mine, 25 years ago. Her exact words were, “Don’t let that shit back up on you.”
