Saturn’s shift from Virgo to Libra has been very noticeable for me. I am still working a lot but it is much easier.

While I do feel deeply, my job involves thinking and communicating and this is far less challenging than it was even 2 weeks ago. I feel like I have a sense of mastery over my Mercurial functions and it’s a true relief. My time is better managed, my carpel tunnel is managed, I have a pretty good idea where the lines go and feel truly ready to advance.

StephB writes on Saturn Leaves Libra… 7 years:

You mentioned reflecting on what’s happened in the 4th, 5th, and 6th houses (from the natural chart, right?). But would it be more important to reflect on the last three houses that Saturn has transited in our own chart? In other words, are we still climbing the (natural chart) mountain even if Saturn is actually descending on our natal chart?

StephB - no, it doesn’t translate. The quadrants are defined as shown in the diagram. In other words, houses 5, 6 and 7 so not represent a quadrant.

With Mercury conjunct Saturn in Virgo, time seems very limited.  While I like them both, it’s occurring to me I don’t have time for twitter and/or facebook.

It’s very difficult to maintain a blog these days due Saturn’s influence on Mercury-ruled writing. It is further complicated by the Uranus opposition because whatever you do manage to write is going to protested by roughly half the people out there and here is the surprising thing:

From 2007 - How to have no friends at all…

With Saturn heading into  Libra I was mulling the changes I have made and things I’ve learned during Saturn’s transit through Virgo.  In my case most of the stuff is centered around communication. For example I no longer write, “The thing is broken” to technical people and expect them to go from there.

I’ve also learned to avoid long dialogues with trolls who show up on this blog which represents something larger, my accepting that there are limits (Saturn) to what I can fix (Virgo).

I have written about Saturn in Virgo and guarding your mind.  It is an individual’s responsibility to discriminate information and maintain the integrity of their thinking. Have your own ideas.

This is separate but related:

When I met the soldier this weekend I brought with me a box of mystery. It was something he’d ordered to help with his stupidity, this is what he said.

The soldier, being a Taurus is susceptible to all sales pitches on Home Shopping Network, so I just stay out it. Sitting in the bathtub he told me he’d noticed he was getting stupider all the time so he was going to try to rectify the situation. “You’ve got to use your brain or you’re going to lose it,” he said. “It’s just like a muscle.”

From May, 2008 - Er… this is current again because the police just visited my sister’s house about this case…. today, I mean under this grand cross.

Re-posting this with an update because 81 banks have failed this year and analysts say 150-200 more will probably fail.
About the failing banks, mine (Netbank) failed in 2007. I was with Netbank for about 9 years and one day I signed on and was gone. As soon as I saw the (government) notice, I knew two things:

I know more than my share of very intelligent people and if you want them to talk to you, you’ve got to pretend they (and the things they say) are normal. You have got to contain your shock, your offense, your outrage or whatever else it is you feel at the fact they operate outside your realm and beyond your control because innovators with big ideas rarely have bedside manner or the ability to coddle you.

If you think about it, your expectation they do is way off base. What? They are supposed to come up with all the ideas, things you would not think of if you had a million years and then share them with you and what are you supposed to do, hmm? Tell them how they should act? On top of all that, you are going to dictate to them? I don’t think so.

This message brought to you by Mercury conjunct Saturn in Virgo. The mind (and the mouth) you get to control is your own.

“It’s never too late to do the right thing.”

The soldier said that this morning and I felt it very relieving.

Do you agree?
