Yes! I am literally sitting in the hall at my university after talking to my professor about how to construct better thesises (thesii?). She’s a Virgo (naturally), and she basically told me to cut out all these Jupiterian things I do in my writing– overwriting, pomposity, grandiose thinking and not enough specifics. It was extraordinarily helpful.

Oh definitely. I’d elaborate but…

Yes, I am having to carefully edit myself before speaking or writing (not easy to do as I am a Gemini sun with moon, venus and mercury in Gemini–squaring mars, pluto and uranus in Virgo!). However, this self-editing is paying off, both professionally and personally.
I’m new to this blog though and have not felt “tempted” to post a message before today.
Also wanted to say how much I admire Elsa’s method of using astrology to build self-awareness.

i wasn’t aware of it until you said it, but yes, actually, i am being edited several ways and feeling the drive to expound but being shut down…and better off for it, when i don’t fight the edits, now that i think of it.

[i'm glad hq is helping. you have some fucking awesome frineds.]

not yet, but i’m sure i’ll get a slap upside the head any minute now

I forgot to mention that I am actually enjoying this “slow down” in my personal and professional communications even though in the past, self-editing my responses, especially my emotional responses, would have been near impossible. I’ve gone from being a typical fast-talking, fast-thinking Gemini to being a more careful, perhaps Virgoan, personality. But that could be due to the Pluto transit opposition my Sun this past year. My teenage sweetheart from 28 years ago recently came back into my life, something I just didn’t see coming (although I had never stopped thinking about him). Is anyone else being affected by a tense Pluto transit to their sun (conjunction, opposition or square)?
