As Saturn Moves Off My Natal Mercury, I Would Like Boast In An Offensive Manner
Astrology in real life.
I started writing spontaneously in the fall of 2000. I’ve written every day since, minus about 25 days. That means I have taken 1 month off out of 132 months. 1 month off in 11 years.
It often very easy for me write. Sometimes it’s a pure joy but not when Saturn is messin’ with Mercury. Over the last 11 years, I had to suffer Saturn’s transit through my Mercury-ruled 6th house, Saturn through Mercury-ruled, Virgo and I have just wrapped up Saturn transiting conjunct my natal Mercury. I’m tired, I’ll tell you that but I am starting to see that I am free now.
A year ago, I had a writing regimen. I had to write the daily forecasts, which allowed me to write the weekly newsletter. I had to write creatively, write for consultations, write to maintain personal relationships, write to keep the boards moving and write zillions of people around the world about various things, large and small. I’ve had to think too and I mean think HARD. How do I communicate x, y or z to a client? How might I present an idea to the readers of my blog? How can I be authentic but not so damned offensive?
I realized today, I am done with this process. I am letting it go. I am working differently now and I’ve been feeling like I am failing but then it hit me. I’m free!
I thought I was failing because I don’t have the forecasts written 7-10 days ahead. I thought I was just getting by but now I see, I’m just doing what I want, when I want without feeling I have to meet a standard.
In other words, if I get busy and miss a forecast, so what? Same with the newsletter. You got a gal here who takes 1 month off in a 11 years. If I make that 2 months, so what?
I’d like to get back to liking what I am doing. The downward (Saturn) pressure on my mind (Mercury) is gone. The other day someone left a comment instructing me to hire an editor to fix my horrible grammar. I (politely, because I have Libra) told them to fuck off.
I am one of the most effective astrologers on this entire planet. I feel like boasting about this today.
If you think this is funny and want to see what I say next, then stay. If you’re uninterested, then as my husband would say, “Carry ass .”  Because, Saturn is gone. And Pluto is comin’. And Uranus is comin’.
Nobody is going to stop this. Who are you to stop my transit?
Has anyone else seen their burden lifted?

I’ve seen one of my burdens lifted but not all. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
I agree that you are one of the most effective astrologers. You have every right to brag.
My point was that I never claimed to write well. I say I can tell a story and read a chart and that’s it.
I am a 2 trick pony with shiny hair and an obnoxious husband. People who hang around me get smarter for some reason. Take it or leave it.
Ugh. I hate it when someone tries to correct me! Unless you’re a teacher who has the right to edit my paper or a judge doing his job, why the hell do you care what I write?
Anyways, I can’t wait until Pluto moves out my 10th! I think I’ll have a party on that day! LOL.
Love your writing Elsa a brilliant work ethic – now some time for you huh
Reading your posts definitely makes me smarter!
Lol Elsa, I love this. I have to say this entry gave me a chuckle. Correcting the grammer, talk about anal. If its readable and able to be understood there shouldn’t be a problem.
I don’t know the transit, maybe neptune in the 4th, but the burden of looking after people and actually looking after me finally. Sheesh its been a long time coming.
HOOOOOOOOORAH! I’m so glad this lifted for you!
Mine is partially up. Saturn is off my Mars. I’m thankful for it but really glad it is over. Three passes? Really? Was that necessary? Yes, I know I would have disregarded a simple note. Now, lets push big daddy off my sun 
I’ve got 5 planets placed between 18 Virgo and 14 Libra. So the last 3 years have been one big Saturn transit for me. Saturn finally moved away from my Mercury in October. And I do feel like I have graduated from something and I can start building my life on a firm foundation.
My guess is that I have seven more years to write. In seven years, Saturn in Capricorn will square my Mercury and I’ll have blown out my wrist or have arthritis or something.
On the rest, if you don’t like my husband and I, don’t invite us over. Neither of us ever go anywhere we’re not invited so you’re completely safe.
xoxo.

Yes, just today my brother, who has lived with me for the past year, had something to say about “someone” eating all the apple cobbler. Hey, it’s MY house, MY kitchen, MY apples, and I cooked it. Who the hell does he think he IS!! He pays me $50/month and he gets home cooked meals – Not any more. I have solved the problem – I am no longer cooking for him, buying food for him to eat or cleaning up after his cooking. I’ll forego the money for the peace – or war if he chooses. It’s still my house and I deserve to be treated with respect. He had a good thing going, I gave fair warning that I don’t like the snide comments. Now I’m done. It does feel good.
And He’d better watch out before he ends up out of the house completely.
Oh Elsa your energy in that post made my spirits SOAR!! 
“I’ve been feeling like I am failing but then it hit me. I’m free!”
YAY!!!!
Yeah, my burden has lifted. My mantra these days is “F you, I’m happy!1″
We’ve got your back, Elsa! Love you!
Elsa, thank goodness for you & your wonderful writing! I couldn’t have passed through the darkest hours of the past decade without your writing to keep me laughing and smiling. You really are the most effective astrologer out there. Much Love to you.
Thank goodness that’s over! I love how you write, and the grammar police can just F*OFF! I’m especially glad to hear that you’re feeling better.
PS- You and your husband are always welcome at my table!
LOL GO YOU ELSA! Bring on the PLUTO! I live for bawdy writing! hahahah I cant believe the grammer comment but then again some people live for grammer. I, myself make mistakes all the time! Sometimes I type so fast I forget my words. So it doesnt phase me. People are just people. Be who you are! I like it
Heehee – I must admit when I first came across Elsa Elsa through an online search, my Victorian sensibilities were shocked. “My goodness, this Astrologer is talking about sex in a frank manner, and swearing on the internet!” LOL!
But, since I am also a very blunt person, who has been known to swear when excited, I could not help but be drawn to this blog.
Saturn trans my 9th is trining my ASC and Venus Saturn Aquarius 12th.
I did feel a burden lift, oddly enough, when I had to quit that job after four days. I pushed myself to take a job that had nothing to do with my qualifications because I was putting pressure on myself and felt I had to do it. Wrong. All it did was make me realize that God has a plan for me, and all I need is my faith in God (Saturn Aquarius 12th) that everything is going to work out to my liking (Venus) and that it’s okay for my butt to still be home with my kids right now (which is where I want to be anyway).
Whatevs, I have Saturn-Mercury conjunct in 6th and it is amazing. It just looks like you handled that energy very poorly and didn’t learn any lessons from it. That person should have doled out that criticism when you had that transit. You would have listened, and your grammar would have probably improved. Enjoy your over-inflated ego though. There are other astrologers who have already written books who are much better than you. I wouldn’t pay you a cent but I certainly would happily pay them what they already charge.
Your attitude prevents you from making more than you already do. You might not see it. It’s obviously your blind spot. But I can’t be the only one. In fact, I know I’m not, considering you spend half your posts bitching and being overly reactionary against people who have the balls to tell you that you suck and that your attitude is horrible.
As an aside, I like astrodispatch.com. I see that you’re the one who put it together. I just wanted you to know that I look at the blog name before I read the articles, and if I see that it’s from you, I usually just scroll right on by. A lot of the other bloggers are much more talented and professional than you.
eccentrivirgo – The point of having your own blog is so that you can be yourself. You can say what you want, how you want. Why should anyone change who they are to suit a certain Poster?
If Elsa’s attitude annoys you so much, you already know what to do – don’t look at her blog or her articles. Find a place where you feel comfortable.
Elsa’s blog has helped me immensely this past year. Since it does not have the same effect for you, please make yourself happy by reading and commenting on all the other blogger’s boards that you deem more talented and professional.
WoW eccentricvirgo… Do you often go into other people’s living rooms and shit on their sofa? Must make you really popular. 
Such bad form. Shame on you.
LOL, CArRiE, I didn’t even see virgo’s comment until I read yours. Nice venom. Very happy person, I’m sure.
I know you write about people that email you this kind of crap all the time, but rarely have I seen such a spectacular example as the one above. I honestly don’t know how you can stand it.
I had to come back just to see if I had imagined it. It just amazes me that someone could be so hurtful- ‘amazes’ isn’t the correct word… ‘sad’ is more like it.
For the record, I disagree that an attitude change would help my business. I HAVE a business because of my attitude! You may as well be telling Richard Pryor to tone it the fuck down if he wants to sell tickets.
In reality, this is a big world and there is room enough in world for a person like me. With time so limited, I am entitled to decide I how I spend mine and right now I want to study crowds, not grammar. Right now I want to deal with my mother’s death, support my son and my sister and pull my family together with my husband’s.
I think it’s really rude to tell people what they should do with their time or money, especially when you don’t even know them.
what the??? eccentricvirgo, is this how you treat people with dying mothers? during the holidays? apparently so. ::pfffffft::
three cheers to that, elsa! haters gonna hate!
i really got a kick out of this post because the proof is in the pudding. you write astrology for LIFE, not for hugs and cuddles.
i love what you do and i respect you and admire for providing such a keen service despite all the damn BS you have to put up with.
and this is coming from me, an eccentric virgo who gives a damn.
Eccentric Virgo. If Elsa is so lousy, why are you here? If everyone else is so great, please go there. Bah-bye.
Eccentric Virgo, I remember you.
Remember this?

You hate it here, remember? Guess you can only go so long before you come back to spew your venom. Well, I have a suggestion for you: leave.
Perhaps you could use your Mars in Scorpio, Sun in Virgo to pour that same energy into doing some kindnesses for others, EV, because that level of anger and venom must be so toxic for you to sustain, and it’s not helping you in any way to keep pouring it out in this way.I hope you’ll find peace.
Elsa has a massive following, from every walk of life. I’m a published writer and astrologer, of which there are many on here, who hugely respects and admires her.
Perhaps we would also admire you if you could instead come back and tell us how you’ve turned your chart potential into something we can all applaud, because you knew there wouldn’t be a warm response, didn’t you. Still, you did get a response. Go in Peace.
Ps Elsa.. thanks for this post, re burden lifting, it is spot on regarding something I am dealing with right now, I identify!
Thank you, lindiloo.
This is for eccentricvirgo…

Also, I should thank virgo because this last go-round gave me a breakthrough. I realized the *most* common denominator among people who feel this way about me and this knowledge is going to help me big time, going forward.
I see nothing wrong with Elsa’s grammar. She has a fine style. She could use a second read through for missing words but that’s about it.
You want to talk bad grammar? There is some fool writing for National Public Radio, and I’ve almost got it pinned down who it is and what show.

This person evidently writes for the first morning broadcast, possibly from the East Coast.
“The East Coast possibly from.”
Like the sentence above.
He keeps ending sentences prepositions with!
This person is being paid to write sentences, for the love of Mike.
<3 to hear it!
i’ve had some deep ugly burdens from a long time ago evaporate recently. mostly because i suddenly realized i was carrying them and asked myself why the heck i was dragging all this poison around.
