In theory most people want to see people get their comeuppance but they also want control over it. I suppose this is primarily a Saturn function though I could argue some other angles.

The fact is people think they can break the rules be them social or societal and boy are they surprised when someone breaks the rules on them. They think THEY are the force of nature, see. They are the special one who can do whatever they want while the people around them be decent and I have a story to illustrate.

One time the soldier pulled into a video store parking lot, went inside to rent a movie. He came out to find some kid had gone through the parking lot with his knife and slashed tires on four vehicles, including his own truck. He caught him in the act.

Today Annalisa mentioned the very heavy weight I am carrying. I agreed but told her I was capable of carrying and not really struggling at all.

“It takes everything I have but I think I am lucky to be in a position where I can use all my skills.  Why have skills if you are not going to use them?”

alicia had a good question on the Where I Stand post in regards to the pressure I feel towards being polite with Saturn in Libra:

The soldier and I are becoming very emotional as our wedding date draws near. We had about 12 hours together this weekend which passed quickly. We briefly thought we were going to be able to spend the day together but the wind changed and that didn’t come to pass.

The soldier was jolted by this, he was not really ready to leave. The going / not going / then going through him for a loop but the jerk of it didn’t hit me for awhile.

This is pretty hard to consider because like I said we are both getting increasingly emotional.

Posting to thank everyone for their comments on Talking Into A Fan Redux. I am actually making some progress through the mental mud that is Saturn in Virgo and last night the astrology on this popped in.

If you are a Capricorn rising as I am (or Aquarius rising), you can set your clock via Saturn’s transit ’round your chart.  Having established my home base when Saturn transited my 4th house, I started writing when it hit my 5th.  In effect, I defined my creativity at that time and when Saturn hit my 6th, I had edit.

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”.

Long time reader and excellent commenter, goddess is affiliated with GoodKarmaHost.com. I see her link come up in the comment and also think to myself, yeah, she had good karma all right. There are a number of reasons I think that and I am sure most agree, but I would assume this based on her loving and jaw-droppingly helpful and insightful comments and advice on step-parenting questions alone.

“Why would she do that?” I asked a friend in true puzzlement. “Jack me up over and over and then come try to be friends?”

“Well she wants something, I guess.”

“Well jeez. Don’t you cross the bridge before you burn it?” I said with a snort.
