Mercury in Capricorn in mutual reception to Saturn in Virgo continues to encourage people to take a hard look at how the communicate… what they think about, what they are interested in and so forth.

Today I had to critique someone’s letter applying to business school. I also did several consultations, taking care to offer something valuable in the time allowed. A few days ago we had the Sagittarian who has to learn to let her partner talk or else and I continue to defend / support my status (or lack of it) behind the scenes.

I am really grateful for the prompt to do this. It’s such a fortune for someone like me to have something new to think about. Like why the soldier routinely avoids “emotional damage” while I have no luck on that front at all for example. Or to ponder how I really feel about being a lowly astrologer and I’ll tell you what’s emerged.

The fact is I am not interested in “common knowledge”. I am not interested in TV, I am not interested in ‘what everybody knows”.

I am interested uncommon knowledge though and I am interesting in free, independent thinking. Matter of fact, I will do anything to garner just a nugget. Dress up like a gay man and go undercover for example.

I am also pretty sure how I got this way… this would be the foundation (Saturn / Capricorn) of my mind (Mercury/Virgo) and as difficult as this process as been, it’s nice to find yourself standing on solid ground, even if the ground is unconventional.

How much mind do you pay your mind?
