Great point Elsa. Also a great little idea to carry around on a Monday morning in January

Dammit, I wanna *new* heyday.

Another great post. Thank you! I am dealing with someone who thinks that the past is what’s here now. It’s not.

There’s nothing wrong with reliving moments you have control over, like maybe a trip or a food you ate or something. But to expect others to feel the same after all these years, after you’ve disappointed and lied to ‘em, and so forth… What more can I say than you can’t control people and where they are now…

I don’t think I’ve ever had a heyday!
It’s either going to be in the future, or not at all, so what you are saying @Elsa is bang on & kinda comes naturally to me.
There’s nowhere & nothing I wish to go back to.
That’s good =)

Thanks for the tip… going forward, of course

For all the cancer in my chart, you’d think I was more nostalgic than I am. With all my cardinal and moon/jupiter (also in early cardinal) I’m always planning & moving forward. Then again, I’ve not felt like my ‘heyday’ has been reached either. It’s all circular and when one ‘heyday’ is over, I circle down and eventually back up for an new ‘heyday’. With lots of jupiter aspects and uranus in positive planentary aspects, I enjoy the change, though you may not see me that way (uranus is sq my asc/dsc).

I had a heyday a few years ago and parts I miss a lot ($$ esp) The blind spot you have too is to forget the bad parts you no longer have either- I often forget this.

A good idea for people thinking about this topic is: what parts can I recreate and solve permanently? In regards to money, that little taste I had of having almost all the disposable income I could want- my own money, managed how I want, to get what makes me happy and to share as I wish- makes me want to settle this issue in my life once and for all.

I have transiting Saturn conj my 2nd H Libra Venus and my Scorp Sun and I have come to see some unpleasant truths about my circumstances. So contrary to my ideas of partnership, well-being, obligation- truths very distaseful to my Leo Jupiter.

Getting to “rock solid” is my #1 goal for 2012 and forseeable future.

still moving forward, trying to reach my heyday

“Are you trying to get something back or get something going forward?”

Um… both? Which is probably why I’m making no headway.

Clue-by-four rcv’d. *baseball being hit sound, looks out of park*

Always forward. Part of my conflicted nature: I’m Fixed but I like to move forward ::laughs::

Thank you for this post, Elsa. I have a big decision coming up and this is making me look at things completely differently.

I’ve had more than one heyday, and there were times when I thought I’d never have another – but recur they did
In truth I probably won’t now (I’m in my mid sixties after all) but there are a few things about this I can tell you all:

- if you had one in your youth, that’s no reason that high will never come again;
- for some their heyday comes late in life;
- every season has its gifts and and its painfulness, peculiar to that age: try to enjoy the gifts of each and you will be rewarded

Forward! Onward to Victory! Or Whatever!

I agree with Blessed Place. One of the things I love about Elsa is that she is always encouraging us to turn crap into gold. This post really reminds me of that message. I think that I am learning to use my “heyday” (the past is perception not reality!) to see what it is I like and don’t like about myself and my actions vis-a-vis my memory of the past. I have found it useful to apply the core beliefs / feelings etc of the times I felt the best to the present and future scenarios. Literally going back is a total waste of time so far as I am concerned.
