The new moon misses my Pluto/Uranus conjunction at 15º Virgo, but it does square my natal Mars in the 7th at 7 degrees Gemini. I’m more pissed off with everybody (and one person in particular) than anything else..

Is Obama in some kind of despair, is that what you are saying? Why, did I miss some seriously important news? See, I gotta go, I’ll see y’all next year.

I’ve been angry, sad, determined to use my voice, my heart — anything not to sink. Sooooo—today I am being a soldier, using Virgo and Saturn energy, I think, just trying to be disciplined, run those errands and mow the lawn and clean the cobwebs and, and… squeeze in one or two good conversations with some simpaticos.

Thanks Kashmiri, I appreciate that.

A Piscean move? I am not sure about that…the energy feels more overt than Pisces to me. I think it has more to do with my Rahu/MC/Pallas 27-28 Sag (with Jupiter ruling the 9th also). Jupiter is also rising, and in the 5th, double conjunct to Uranus both at 24 degrees Cancer spells fanatic.

Simply put, I am Fanatically political and I am as far to the left as just about any American can get (which isn’t far enough, in my own fanatic opinion). I know this about myself, and its a miracle I could participate here this close into the season, but I do so enjoy Elsa and the rest, and the social and existential topics. In a way I hate that I care about politics so passionately, but it will never change.

I can discuss astrology forever, but I have to pull back from politics when I feel myself getting triggered. Don’t want to be one of those planes that crashes in flames from the blog.

When its all over I usually calm down some. What else to do, you know? Like I said, hope to see y’all next year

Loonsounds, did I write something political? If so, I have no awareness of it.

oh gosh… i’m sorry this is how it’s been.

Oh, beloved Mosta.

Lots of love to her and to you and Vid and the Soldier. I’m so glad she has you as her mother!

Elsa, you didn’t need to say anything, I am not “fishing” around for anyting. It’s my problem and I own it. To answer your question, though, it looks political to me, to mention Obama in that context… I just re-read it and you mentioned angst, worry, criticism, despair and depression for your generation today, giving the name Obama. Far as I can see he is a presidential contender who has just received some beautifully articulated support from one of the most brilliant speakers our country has ever known, so why should he be upset?

See, I don’t want to get into it with anybody, that is why I am backing out. But there is the curtesy of an answer to your question, and I’ll see you guys a little bit later on. Anyway, I’ll be moving and AWK for quite a while. Peace ~ Loons

Yeah, cake or something to commemorate the rite of passage for Mosta. Wow. Thinking about ya, Elsa.
