All who have virgin ears should leave the building, the rest of you, hang around.

I wrote this in 2001 for a Pisces with breast cancer.  Remember her?  She had to go have a double mastectomy and she asked me for a story to read while she was in the hospital.  She wanted a diversion so I sat down and wrote her this one, aptly titled, “1-800-getmeoutofhere”.

I wrote this is story in 3 days as I recall. It is 102 pages long which I now know is 300 or so “book pages” so wrote my little heart out. Matter of fact I almost wrote myself to death, but hey. She had breast cancer!

This happened circa 1992, I wrote this in 2002…

It was two years later. Saks. Denver, Colorado. My sister was visiting so we were buying me makeup again. This time I was aware that I suck so I was intimidated to a degree.

The makeup artist asked me questions and of course, I had no idea what she was talking about. I shrugged and my sister answered them. Pretty soon the counter person just spokes directly to my sister and they decorated me like a mannequin.

I rarely have to deal with these types that I know of. Who knows who says what when I’m not listening but as I’ve mentioned here and there, when I have come across them, my hit is that they are DEPENDENT.

I do not feel they operate from a position of authentic strength regardless of outward appearances and you can back them down with virtually anything.

“Jeez you are a horrible bitch,” will send them scampering in the other direction and if you ask me that is a pretty cheap fix.

I wrote this in 2002. My sister is well known to have taste. I am well known to have brains.

She actually has brains (and I taste) but we have this Saturn / Neptune problem.

If it is not obvious, she is the BIG sister here and I am going to leave this unedited for the most part.

In this first bit, I am Saturn Return age (about 27).

Enjoy!

The Moon in Virgo forms a grand cross involving ruler, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto. Needless to say, the late mutables are hopped up on this.  It’s a lot of stress so you’ve got 2 choices.

Treat these people with kindness or otherwise, in which case you take your chances. Because if Mars in Taurus does blow, you’re going to be trampled, gored or both.

Mara writes on Anti-Bitch

“If someone has a twisted Pluto, the predatory instinct will surface. But if someone had learned Pluto lessons, this person can help other people trough hell and back, without hurting the other even more… Is that what you are saying?”

People got extremely involved in the Dark Heart piece, thank you! That was enormously inspiring and satisfying and I am back with my next angle.

Your comments prompted me to better define the personality I was trying to type and get insight into. One example I landed on over and over was the type of woman who finds another women to feel superior to. I used the example of a gal who might peruse the gossip pages and look at celebrity cellulite so she could feel superior.

Who is your (celebrity) kindred spirit?

The Moon conjunct Saturn in Virgo while both square ruler Mercury in Gemini so Virgo are inordinately pressured, especially those with planets at the mid-late degrees (15-20 Virgo).

People with planets in other mutable signs around those degrees also feel the crunch but this time Virgo stars.

Venus and Mars, conjunct in Taurus, catch a sextile from Uranus and trine from Saturn which is pretty darned sweet.

All in all most fare well today, with Virgo shouldering the burden.
