Block, block, block, block, block, block (Saturn Transit To Natal Mercury)
Astrology in real life
I feel like Marcel Marceau in a box.
I have never had writer’s block for more than a day or two and usually I’m just pissed or my wrist hurts.
I think this Saturn transit is going be worse than Saturn through the 6th (which was cruel and unusual) and Saturn in Virgo (I just had to learn to say less).
I still have as many ideas as ever across a broad range as described by my chart but so many avenues are closed now. These are for weird reasons, not necessarily blog related though some are.
Venus in Scorpio does have me recalling my past and in the past I would handle this by writing about the person. I’d tell a story about them where in some cases the story would be 100 pages long. Some stories were a romp, others were quite dark and most were both simultaneously.
This would give the thing air, like the hydra and dissipate it for me. I saw it that way at the time. People came to mind because they wanted their stories told and I complied. I can no longer do that.
Part of it is due time constraints but also this blog has morphed into something that no longer can accommodate my style of storytelling. This leaves me with a problem I’ve not yet been able to solve.
Same with the topics that interest me. They are pretty much off-color and/or provocative across the board. If I express myself, I am going to have to deal with the fallout and I recognize that I have no energy for it. When you recognize something like that, that’s it.
I am trying to solve this. I made my class for my free expression and people tell me to write the stories down but I don’t really have time. Once I get into a story, forget about it. It takes on it’s own life and I have too many duties now to indulge myself like that.
On the provocative topics, aka the only things I care about in life outside of helping people, I am waiting for some kind of shift. Let’s say the clouds part and it is a day I feel able to deal with the strife they create. Well then, I will have at it. Other than that, I have to come up with something else and I am not having much luck.
I said I’d wind up in the woods and it’s happened. I saw I was headed here but I am still shocked and right now, it’s a period of adjustment.
Just to give you an idea the range of this – off the blog, some people I used to communicate with regularly have become unavailable. They’re just busy for the most part but here again there is a space and separation. An effort has to be made to keep in touch where it used to be easy.
How are you adjusting to Saturn’s transit through Libra?

Call me crazy
I eat grapes for estuding
Saturn in libra its about sugar.
Sorry Elsa 
I think your idea of the giving yourself free rein in the coliseum (walled off area – Saturn) is really really smart. 
I am fairly concerned with what I am going to do about all the corpses as I am up to my neck in them.
I wish my life was less acute and did not strain people quite as much.
I wish I had a better fix on why it strains people but not sure that information will ever come to me.
definitely feeling space and separation but I don’t know if it’s me or them — I guess saturn in libra is also harshness in relationship — it will square my cancer stellium soon enough (in the 11th)
I miss your dark topics but I see the edges of them here and there…
I really don’t know anything fluffy but I can sure solve a problem.
I hate that people think problems can’t be solved when the solution is RIGHT THERE, it’s just unsavory for some reason. Or difficult.
What is unsavory to me is the above.
Well I guess it is that old adage – when life gives you corpses, make fertilizer.
I think it is because you are ahead of people, but they don’t know that yet of course, so it is like a string that is kind of out of tune for them because they don’t realize.
I don’t know if that makes sense or if you even want my opinion. Sorry if you don’t – just delete.
I do think that we are coming to a time and place where you will be in perfect pitch.
Well, it more than the topics. I don’t really want to get on camera and share ideas it took me decades to develop so that people can complain about my teeth or my hair or my speech patterns. I mean think about it. Would you?
People have me mixed up with some TV personality with a staff or… something. They just don’t seem to fathom my humanness probably because I do so much.
Re: workaholism, I thought of Peace Pilgrim today. http://www.elsaelsa.com/astrology/2006/05/01/peace-pilgrim-henry-and-astrology/
She walked tens of thousands of miles for her cause which is no different from what I do and have done on this blog but for some reason people feel I need shot at, complained about, fixed, stopped – you name it.
I don’t know if this is because I am me and she is Peace Pilgrim or if people have simply changed in this space of time.
Do we blame the Internet? Seems a cop out to me. I am a person and so are you and if you have forgotten that – how did that happen?
I don’t know but I agree that it has, in a big way.
Jilly, I agree with you. I think most who disagree with me now (80%) will agree with me in 3-5 years. I will be right, but so?
I remember telling HQ about the debt and how I had bought gold back when it was about $350 an oz. He thought I was insane, this was about 6 years ago.
He thought I was an old fool and I felt bad about it but hey. I held my gold.
That girl who came up on the boards, who died? The one I morphed into? She used to make predictions and boast about there accuracy. I think I picked that up from her, LOL.
Anyway, she was someone who was a glory to know and now you all know her because I carry her energy – she’s left her legacy through me.
There you go making fertilizer from corpses again.
I’m sorry about your friend, she must have been something else.
ps
haha I bought gold too but through an IRA rollever so I can’t touch it until my SSDI is approved, or the gov’t will take like 1/2 in penalty. By that time the gov’t might take it anyway LOL.
So people write you just to comment on your appearance?! What strange people! I don’t think I could take that. It’d definitely make me run. People behave so badly on the internet. Honestly, you have great screen presence so what else is there to say? As krugman says on his blog: don’t feed the trolls!
AAAHH!!
You need black humor
“Go and punch the fucking zobies”

ORLANDO! Where are you ??
I need to speak fucking spanis with you !!!
venus, they tell me all kinds of shit. So I get these idea that I know would make a good SHORT thing but when I think about filming them, I just don’t want to do it. It’s like performing for people who spit and for no pay! Tell me that makes sense.
This is Neptunian in part. I am disillusioned with the public (Neptune on the MC). I am sick of being their fallen saint, over and over and over and over for 10 years now.
I am a small earth person, working and you can see me right there on the video but apparently you can’t.
You can see my work on this blog and the one before it, some 16,000 posts by now but apparently you can’t.
Peace Pilgram walked 25,000 + miles for peace. I wrote 16,000 posts for astrology. Now tell me the difference between her and I.
bad luck with that response…
Elsa, if you don’t feel like filming anything- then DON’T!!! Cut yourself some slack… honestly, you do enough for all of us around here. The majority appreciate it & if some people are going to be critical S C R E W T H E M.
You often hear about actors, singers etc etc who never read the press- this is why. Unfortunately, you don’t have the luxury of looking away. You are a mere mortal (although I wonder sometimes =) For those who comment negatively, I’d like to know what THEY are striving for & how much THEY achieve for the good of all??
This is a World you have created. You are the Sun. Don’t let the passing clouds mar your radiance Elsa…
SHINE ON!!!!!!!!!!!
=)
I’m sorry you’ve been attacked, Elsa. Your next class is something I look forward to, especially Scorpio/8th house topics in your voice. Keep your red gun handy the rest of the time.
elsa I swear on my life I was thinking about peace pilgrim just yesterday. i never heard of her before your blog, so thank you! I hope you have a lot of fun doing your class–you totally deserve it.
Personally I think you should do video. Whatever the assholes who ruined the experience for you have to say, I really like your video shorts; they’re just the right length, I always learn something and you look fine to me — in fact you look perfect to me; not trying too hard, not some sexbomb but not hideous either. But also they’re the best short video astrological presentations I’ve seen compared to a couple hundred others. On video I like ML and I like you, and come on, you have much better hair than he does.
And whatever those assholes have to say you’ve got a spark that’s showing up on film. I think you should stick with it. I think you should do more of it. Really.
I’ve always enjoyed your videos Elsa.
I love your videos… your presence and authenticity come through, and you have a great face to look at and you smile a lot even in between and in the midst of rants and that is just so attractive! Love the straightforward communication.
I disturb people a lot, confront people and I know it. Wish I could do it with such a great smile.
Hey Mariana when You want to talk in spanish let me know i am also in Mexico !!!
I am Having Saturn cojoin Moon 10° Libra but i think the worst thing is Pluto who is going to square my Moon and i have read some of Your Posts about that Elsa so it will be interesting !!!
but i am going to have a trine from Saturn to my mercury but i remember when saturn join my mercury and many comm problems but now i think for You Elsa it is worst because Mercury is Retrograde and Pluto is going to make an Square to Your Mercury i think !!!
Blessings !!!
Is just about in my 12th house now – starting to have alot of very vivid, strange dreams.
Also, throughout my day, old, old memories, alot of them painful (buried?) are popping into my head.
I love your videos! I am guessing those who criticize your appearance don’t send you pictures of themselves, lol! I am picturing some really scaring looking people, quite frankly!
Hi Elsa,
In your videos you come across as a lovely, vulnerable and happy person, regardless of what you’re going through. Some people just can’t stand that. They’ll do anything to make you stop smiling.
Both Sat. and Pluto will soon be aspecting my Mer/Nep/Moon around 10′Libra. Very curious about the effect. Maybe they’ll bring some nasty old stuff to the surface, that I’ve been trying to uncover for a long time.
I have been reading this blog side more and more and I am just speechless. Who cares what you look like? Why would someone take the time to bother to email you about that? I just keep shaking my head.
Thanks for this place. I know it is a gift to me from Jupiter. My solar return chart for this year said I would get this opportunity.
Saturn in Libra is one degree away from my 12th. In virgo it squared and opposed just about every thing in my chart so I think this 12th house transit will be about dealing with the fallout. I am actually very afraid of what is to come but I am trying to act like I am not.
I have that natal Saturn/venus/pluto T square which I guess will be activated by the conjunction to Pluto & square to venus.
Right now I am experiencing the inertia and the feeling like my power is stymied. No job, no car, (small death), no man (intractable…lol)
I was thinking about the Mars Mercury Whore Report I used to write on this blog. Who is going to do such a thing on an astrology blog? Ha ha, it’s hideous.
And then my husband. Remember when he was sitting in the gym sauna with a bunch of black men? They asked him if he was going to vote for Obama.
“I don’t know. I’m not sure I want to vote for a rich white guy,” he said.
Roooooooooars! This stuff used to be on this blog. But it requires you think. It requires you understand that you don’t run another person’s mind or their mouth.
Unfortunately I can’t get paid to amuse you guys because really, I am damned good at it. ::swings hair::
But now we are the Gunfighter, both together and separately.
Haha…well I thought is was McCains wife that had the money?
Most of what I would comment has already been well said…
The only thing I might add is that, negative reaction is still ‘reaction’. The unfortunate thing is that you (Elsa) have no way of knowing the eventual outcome of this reaction. People are quick to respond, but rarely follow up.
For example, someone once told me some honest (yet harsh) truth, that stung me horribly- I lashed out very negatively. But, the result eventually taught me one of my greatest life lessons. In my case, I returned to the person and thanked them… but, in your case, I doubt you rarely get that.
Just think about the legacy you have provided for your friend. She unfortunately isn’t here to experience it herself, but it doesn’t make it less real. Same with Henry. Write. Film. Be your wonderful authentic self. Please.
venusflytrap, I used to have people e-mailing me in the 90′s about how fat and ugly I was. Random jackhole men do this constantly. This is why I do have my e-mail posted…but you have to seriously search around for it. I would never put “e-mail Jen at blahblah at hotmail.com” on the front page of any website of mine because there come the assholes who love to do nothing but put women down for existing on the Internet. I think somehow the Internet dehumanizes people enough for the sickos to think they can get away with this behavior.
“I hate that people think problems can’t be solved when the solution is RIGHT THERE, it’s just unsavory for some reason. Or difficult.”
Well, in that case, it boils down to “the solution is worse than the problem.” You know how to cope with the problem, if not solve it. But the price you have to pay to solve it may just be too much to handle, and you may consider it to be worse. That’s my logic behind it, anyway.
Back to the original question… most of my local friends have been totally or mostly AWOL this summer, and I don’t know if people will ever come back. Some folks have had to move over the last year and I expected them to go AWOL, but not the entire crowd the way that they have. It makes me very sad. Hell, my mentor now literally lives on the next block from me and I have talked to her once all summer because now she works two jobs and is too busy for ANYTHING whatsoever. I think about contacting her and then think, “Why bother? I won’t hear back because she is too busy.”
I haven’t been on this site for too long, but I feel like I’ve found a rare thing. I feel drawn here, probably because of your energy, Elsa (and I love it!). You write about how your (typical) writing is provocative (and I imagine deep and very insightful as well), and I can’t wait to see it unleashed in the coloseum. There will always be opposition to wonderful things that are already happening or just beginning to blossom, but you seem strong, and I hope that you can take the words of any haters in stride.
Saturn is conjunct my moon in the eighth house right now (and it’s providing some action on quite a few other fronts, too – opposing my natal venus & mercury), so with the addition of transiting Venus and currently the moon in Scorpio, I feel like I’m going crazy on the sexual front. And I’m seeing an old potential corpse everywhere right now. Not fun.
Get this: I just called denamaria for a chat and she can’t because she LARYNGITIS. Ha ha ha, she has no voice at all.
See what I mean?
That is hilarious!
I know. She picked up the phone, gasping. I thought she might be dying in the hospital again but she (barely) squeaked out “laryngitis” and it sounded so painful, I got off the phone right away.
Oh poor Denamaria, she’s had so much to deal with this year
Yeah, you don’t know the half of it. She’s really been kicked into a tornado and I can’t see her landing anytime soon. Sometimes you just know a person is going to be in it for at least a year, two, three…
It was like that for me with my daughter. Ben was the first person to sense it. He told me 8 years ago in plain language.
No one who knows me is surprised I lost these years. When you are the mother the bad thing happens to, then you’re the mother the bad thing happens to.
denamaria is cheery though. I was too, best I could. I mean the other doesn’t help.
satori bit her tongue and can’t talk. I also can’t talk to my husband because he didn’t get out of the ex sergeant’s town today so he is going back over there tonight which means he will also be out of pocket.
::smiles and shakes head::
I’ve always thought it interesting that the goat’s default expression is a smile. Keeps me going sometimes.
Cross-posted.
Satori bit her tongue??? What is going on? LOL
What is going on is I can’t talk! Vid is on his way home here pretty soon. Watch him walk in with his jaw wired shut. 
ROFL! Oh man this is so funny, I’m sorry!
Yeah, I know. satori is bleeding and crying and getting ready for work. I just called my husband and he’s already has his friend pick him up – they were in the car so er…
Well I did a big Venus in Leo whine but can’t say I am surprised as he rolls off into the void.
So how long is the current transit to your Merc?
Oops. Bit of a personal question, sorry.
I haven’t even investigated that. I will now go depress myself. I know it is going to be a year because it’s got to clear the conjunction.
I really do feel far more constrained than with Saturn in Virgo but it is nowhere near as bad as Saturn through the 6th. I almost cracked my brain in two during that.
It was back when HQ asked me if I was an idiot savant. I wrote all those convos and they are funny as shit but of course inappropriate for today’s world.
I sure hope people go back to normal at some point. I live in hope.
And get this:
Obama is buying us a new road in front of the house so it is unclear if I am going to be able to come and go over the next two days as they will be paving?
We don’t need a new road, there is nothing at all wrong with the road we have but you know. Stimulus!
But you see I am thwarted some more. However I do have that scooter so if necessary, I will take Vid to school on it. Hopefully he won’t need his violin because that gets tricky.
OMG Elsa I am laughing so hard at the sauna comment. hahahaha
Saturn just opposed my Sun for the third time yesterday. It’s been brutal. Very low energy, self expression thwarted at every turn.. I get a bit of a break before Saturn comes up and humps the leg of my Moon next month. Joy.
That’s crazy about everyone being unavailable, Elsa.
satori called but too painful (her tongue) to talk. My husband texted – to say he can’t talk, they’re watching a movie. HQ called but discovered in 30 seconds it was actually the Mechanic who would have what he needed.
