From 2008 - Have you ever heard that Saturn was the antidote for and overload of Jupiter? Here’s how that works in real life aka “How the perennially restless can cut a break”.

To update in 2009, I’ve painted part of the house and we have Antony and Cleopatra on the wall.

Dear Elsa,

I liked your happiness posts. I would love to see more astrology on this. What do you look at as a happiness base?  Jupiter? Moon?  Difficult or easy Saturn, Mars, Venus?  Probably everything but do you have a standard procedure for a basic  happy-meter?

Yesterday I wrote about Christopher Reeve, a man so buoyant that even when he’s dead, he’s still - UP. I mean, it’s just impossible to think of the guy and end on a down note.

Lupa came on and said that like me, she could access happiness via focusing on the feeling of the sun on her skin and credited her natal Saturn in Pisces (A Saturn Neptune exchange).

Well my daughter has Saturn in Pisces. She also has Jupiter in Sagittarius trine a 9th house Moon and I am telling you that girl is not going down. Anyway you turn it, she is a streak across the sky and it occurs to me with Pluto retrograde applying in aspect to my Moon that my daughter is one of those people (like Christopher Reeve) who never really die. Oh, maybe in a 100 years but you get the idea. My daughter is UP.

She is up and even when she is down she is actually up, I think she gets it from her Mom.

(Her Mom gets it from Henry.)

Does he look dead in that picture? Of course not.

Up! Up, Up, Up!

Are you hard to kill or do you know someone who is? Give us the astrology…

Dear Homeless,

You are asking the wrong person because I live just like you. And I just knew when I was plugging in your data I was going to see a Jupiter Moon contact and sure enough, there it is! I’ve got the same and I can tell you exactly what is going on.  We only feel at home when we are moving! “Papa was a rolling stone… wherever he laid his hat was his home…”

I can tell you unequivocally I feel more at home at the gym then I do my own house. I feel more at home in a hotel room I plan to stay in for one night, etc. I feel more at home in the car and consequently, I don’t invest in making a home “homey” though I feel similar to you and think I should.

As to how to address this, I have had little luck. I traded astrology with an interior decorator once and while she did wonders with my house, it did not take me long to revert back to form. I have tried and tried and hope to try some more in the (Jupiter-ruled) future while I have simultaneously come to the conclusion, this is just how I am.

As for children growing up this way… well they probably do suffer but they are also paid. At least they get to walk on the carpet, yes? At least their friends can come over and let their hair down.  At least they have a hell of a lot of fun with a Jupiter Moon mom so…

Other people may have ideas. I hope they do but as far as I am concerned this song below is the Jupiter Moon (Sagittarius Moon) anthem…

Today I have to go to a major meeting at my daughter’s school. I will be meeting with eight authority figures, and I am going to have to just sit there regardless of what they say. In other words, I can exert no control over the meeting.

Because I felt I was too close to the situation to access it and because I felt confident they were the professionals I made a decision a couple months ago to put the course of her education in their hands and now I have to follow through. And they have been investigating since and will share their findings with me today in what appears to be a very formal meeting. No matter what they say, I know I will be deeply impacted, of course I have Pluto transiting my Moon so what do you expect?

But this is not about me, it is about my daughter. And one of the reasons I decided I could do this was because of her chart.

My daughter has a 9th house Moon (education) trine Jupiter in Sagittarius (major benefit, more education) and I feel very simply that her education is guaranteed. It is protected. And I admit this is a leap of faith. It is a gamble (Jupiter) but it’s calculated. And I call something like this in a chart, a “natal promise”… or “what you get for free.”

Everyone has something that comes easy to them. You can see it in their chart and you can see it in their life. It’s enormously helpful if you can identify these things because you case stop worrying about them! Use the energy for something worthwhile. So what about you?

What do you get for free?

When Jupiter went into Sagittarius it occurred to me to post pictures that illustrate the theme. And since I mentioned my daughter traveled extensively as a baby, I thought I would start with these.

Now my daughter has a 9th house Moon trine Jupiter in Sagittarius which gives a mother lode of this kind of energy… buoyant, international and expansive and you can see her glowing in her element, with these foreign moms (Moon), which was a great benefit (Jupiter) to me at the time.

Because I was breastfeeding! And I was tired! But while traveling, I could hand my baby to just about anyone anywhere and it would be fine. All parties happy! And this persists today. For example, my daughter has family I don’t even know.

I have a friend, Alexa who grew up in an honest-to-God commune. Consequently she has several mothers, a couple dads and more than a dozen siblings. So one day Alexa was running for the school board. And she used to hang with my daughter all the time. Alexa and I carpooled our kids for six years but besides that she spent time alone with her because she got a kick out of her telling me they had a lot in common as fellow Gemini Pigs, but anyway…

I went to a fund raiser to support her campaign and quite a number of her family members were there, with their spouses or whatever. And Alexa was introducing me to everyone and you can imagine my surprise when came to a table of her parents (four of them, anyway) and said, “And these are Mosta’s grandparents..”

Say what? I smiled. How could my daughter have grandparents I have never met?

But I recovered quickly! My daughter travels and finds family (Moon) everywhere she goes. What can I say? That’s a 9th house moon trine Jupiter.

And one more story…

A couple days ago my daughter got a painting from Italy. Uh huh. There is a gal (she can out herself if she wants, I don’t do that) who was so moved by the fact my daughter is ill, she painted her painting and fed-ex’ed the thing clear from Italy. Can you believe this? I can…

Have any Jupiter Moon, 9th house Moon or Moon in Sagittarius stories or pictures?

“Mosta” is a pseudonym. That’s Alexa, my daughter’s “other mother”, with me in the pic.
