Please excuse the tears in this. I left them in because they are Venus / Neptune of course. Stephen Arroyo’s book is linked below. So is Leonard Cohen’s Energy of Slaves. I think my 8th house is also vividly displayed here. I get pregnant… easy.

Here’s a new study that claims, Money Buys Happiness — If You Spend On Someone Else

“Money can buy happiness, but only if you spend it on someone else, researchers reported on Thursday.

Spending as little as $5 a day on someone else could significantly boost happiness, the team at the University of British Columbia and Harvard Business School found…”

I don’t doubt this. How can a miser be happy? It’s the difference between Jupiter and Saturn. Saturnine people would be well advised to cultivate Jupiter qualities and with Jupiter transiting Capricorn now is the time.

Are you a generous person? Do you think there is a correlation between generosity and happiness?

Shaina writes on the Scorpio Strikes, Itty Bitty blog:

“Oh, do I know someone like this? OUI. My boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend is president of the fencing club. It is unbelievable how she can be cutting, rude, spiteful, and not understand how her actions affect the people around her. She is a Cancer sun with a Pisces moon, a Venus in Gemini and a Merc in Leo, a combination of energies which I have noticed can lead to bullying…”

Shaina, I get it. There are people who are supposed to be compassionate but are anything but and this reminds me of a story.

She was kind and helpful to all kinds of people, however she treated her boyfriend terribly.

Now her boyfriend was an extremely nice man who treated her like a queen. They were both kind, they’d been together awhile but when he wasn’t around she’d tell me stories. Continue reading A Triple Pisces I Don’t Know Anymore: Pluto Conjunct Uranus In Virgo

What I’ve noticed is that people who habitually give always seems to have something to give while people who do not give seem bereft.

This is seen astrologically in the fact that Jupiter and Saturn balance each other. There is an old adage out there, that says if you want to feel better (Saturn / depression), do something for someone else (Jupiter / generosity). Since we’re talking Jupiter, the bigger the better.

Do you see a connection between giving and good cheer?

I was on the phone with the soldier. He has Jupiter in Sagittarius… so does my daughter.

“I’ve told a couple people this now and I thought I’d tell you now that we have a little time. Time which we never have so I can’t always tell you what all is going on. But the other weekend I had some kind of realization and I have been focused on it ever since so I thought I’d tell you about it.”

“Okay, shoot.”

“Well we walked to that little store next to the hotel. Remember? We went there twice. Once with Mosta (my daughter’s screen name) but I’m talking about when we went by ourselves and you got some stuff. You go this and that, I don’t remember what and you got yourself some life savers. Remember?” Continue reading Jupiter In Sagittarius - Think Big Thoughts And Share Them
