Annalisa’s observations are excellent.

Living with mine has taught me to listen to my own guidance, and to closely screen advice, well-meaning or other. What works for the mass generally does not work for me. As Annalisa says, “Walk straight, follow the arrows, follow your soul, there is no other way, and there never will be. Period.”

It is lonely at times, and you win no popularity contests, yet none of that matters if you are still getting up the next day and actually are able to not only smile, but be truly joyful.

Sounds like excellent advice to me for everyone.

Sometimes the simplest advice is the best – and definitely the most elegant. I appreciate the reminder.

thanks!

a T square that’s loosely a grand cross. depends on the orb you use.

but. yes. i have to completely concur.
it’s like i have a geas to answer questions directly and accurately.

and, more recently i’ve discovered that extends to acting authentically for myself.

otherwise i get burned, and bad.

thus the appeal of buddhism- right thought, right speech, right action, and let go of attachment to the consequences as you can anchor yourself on the fact that you’ve done your best.
tricky thing to master, though….. more like a process, in my mind.

i’m curious about grand crosses in synastry- wen one person’s opposition is square the other’s. this keep happening to me…

Welcome, Oona.

Wow, your words hit home, Annalisa. My fixed grand cross in tight orb features Venus, Mars, Pluto and Jupiter. The moon could be thrown in too in 10 degree orb conjunction with Jupiter, but why mess with a good thing *tongue in cheek*. i would say that this configuration is what lead me to astrology in the last few years for the purpose of trying to figure out more about myself. I try to visualize the energy as traveling in a circle around me in the center. And, like a calliope,blending together as it spins in my view.
