People tend to look for horror in their chart. Fine with me but don’t forget to note the little things less you’ll drop the plot.

For example, I have Venus (love and money) sextile Mars in my chart. No biggie, right? Wrong. What that shows or what it provides is satisfaction in relationships. In other words, I am not a hungry dog, I am a fed dog.

I am satisfied with money (Venus) too, even when I don’t have any! If I have a lot of money? Satisfied. If I have a little money? Satisfied. If I have no money at all, guess what? I am still satisfied.

So what’s stopping you?

Are you holding a grudge? Astrology?

This is a bar. Children are not allowed in bars! This will always be a bar as long as I work here. It is a place where adults gather and talk about adult things. There are tens of thousands of pages on this blog. Try to find one where we are not doing exactly that.

Outside of this, I make no guarantees. I do not guarantee that you won’t be offended. Matter of fact, I do guarantee you will be offended because guess what? This is life. Life includes MARS and Mars is offensive!

This is another post on parenting. It may be provocative, I don’t know. It may be asinine for all I know but to me it’s a mind-bender so I thought I would throw it out here.

You may or may not know that satori is an expert on narcissism. I am not. But I listen carefully when she talks about this and some years ago she mentioned a game that people play, “How little will you take?”

I am tumbling pretty badly right now and told my husband I have not had a bad run like this since 1983.

“My daughter…that was long, slow and deeply painful. It was prolonged; deep; pain. It was slow Agony that went on and on but this is different. This comes out of nowhere and I haven’t had a run like this since 1983. I just hit a skid back the and one thing after another after another kept happening, all of it jarring and cascading and there was nothing I could do until I landed. It went on like that for six months and then I landed at the Plaza Hotel and met, Ben. Yeah, I’d lost everything by then and when I landed at the Plaza, Ben was there. We met and that was when I started to be able to feel the ground under me again. I just ended the streak.”

My husband is doing some writing and his great grandfather came up in his story.  My husband was fortunate that he got to spend time with his great grandfather who was born in 1882.  He cherished the time he got to spend with him and in fact would be up overnight with excitement when he was going to see him because he loved his stories.

This got me thinking about my grandfather, Henry who was born in 1900. I was even more fortunate than my husband in that I got to see my grandfather, daily for at least a period of at least 10 years.

This got me wondering if he was the oldest person I ever knew but he was not.  Most of Henry’s (large) family was dead but he had an older sister who lived in town. We’d go see her when she’d call, Henry to fix something around her house. She was born in 1892.

Last night I was zoned out watching a movie, even though the film was compelling. I was thinking about the recent conversations on this blog and elsewhere. I realized in a flash, that I have wound up exactly where I belong in this life.  I can make sense of all of it.
