With my mother’s situation, I have learned something new about death.  I think people imagine their passing will somehow be painless.  They think they will die suddenly or that doctors will be able to control their pain and ease them on out.

My mother is not in physical pain but she is feeling anguish. She is feeling extreme anguish, I’d say, from which she can find no relief.

I don’t think she ever imagined she could end up like this. Who sits around and thinks that their death will be excruciating? Anyone? Yet clearly some people suffer in agony waiting to die.

This may seem gross to write but you know what? If you think about this for even just a few minutes, you may see how senseless it is to complain about your life.

The fact is your death may be much worse.

Do you expect to die peacefully?

It’s an emotionally choppy day out there as the Moon leaves Capricorn for Aquarius in tense aspect to Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

With Uranus trining Venus and Mercury in Scorpio, brilliant ideas may spring from the deep. Be ready to note them because with Uranus, while the lights come on, they don’t tend to stay on so you want to be quick about nailing something down.

My mother is expected to die within six months. This is a formal estimate. The woman who would know has intimated to both, Annalisa and I that she expects her to die much sooner. We still don’t know specifically what she is to die from so we are left to guess.

I quit calling myself because I just can’t deal with indirect communication. This woman says things like, “You know what that means,” instead of, “Your mother is dying,” which irritates me to say the least. “What is she going to die from?” I ask. “Are you a hospice?” These are questions that apparently don’t have answers.

It’s dreary out as the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn.

Mars squares Venus and Mercury in Scorpio adding angst to the equation.

There are some bright spots, though. People who can transform garbage into fuel can thrive in this climate.

Dear Hat,

I have no idea what your signature means but I left it intact for others to puzzle over while I try to crack your problem, which I feel is far more common than the people  care to admit. The cause, and the specifics from person to person are endlessly varied but what you have in common is this: You have cracked 40 years old and you are alone.  I’ll tell you exactly why I think this is.

How do you judge a woman?

The Moon leaves Sagittarius for Capricorn today as it conjuncts Pluto and squares Uranus. We’ve been dealing with this combination every 30 days for months now so the shocking reality is not that shocking.

Also, the Moon is supported by the Sun in Scorpio and while some may crash, most are going to be able to channel this intense energy in ways that are productive.

Last, Venus and Mars in Scorpio are now trining Uranus in Aries. This should alleviate tension by allowing people to detach from at least some of their obsessions.

How are you feeling about the state of your life at this point?
