tcj started an interesting thread on the boards: Favorite religious story.
Becca commented “The miraculous staircase of the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I’m not even Christian, but I love the thought that Saint Joseph maybe came himself to build it.”
I read that story and have been thinking of it since. What if Saint Joseph came to build it himself? And what if there are others, not necessarily saints, but what if there are people who show up on the scene when a super-specialist is needed. I think the odds of this are very high.
I can think of many examples of intractable circumstance that arise and seem unsolvable. Then someone who can solve the things comes in and does so. I’ve done this myself in astrology. I’m sitting here in Aurora, CO. I routinely untie knots that have dogged people around the world, for a number of years, if not their entire life. They don’t know me, I don’t know them. Sometimes people call me being on the site for 10 minutes. They have a feeling. Who would think an astrologer on the other side of the country, if not the world, is going to be able to hand you the key that slips right into the frozen lock that’s blocking you, in a matter of minutes?
My husband is also a specialist. He specializes in doing the impossible. He’s quite aware of this…prefers not to get out of bed, unless absolutely necessary. Like the staircase story. That carpenter isn’t showing up as a matter of routine.
It seems to me, there are many heavy-hitters. The kid that comes in and solves the bully problem in the neighborhood that no one has been able to address effectively. Or how about the the attorney I spoke with once. He had to be a psychopath, but that didn’t matter. I had a horrendous problem and could not find an effective solution to save my life, nor anything even remotely helpful. Five minutes on the phone with this guy and he laid it out for me, bloody gash that it was.
It’s interesting to wonder where people like this got their specialized knowledge or extraordinary skills. I really don’t know. Maybe they’ve been at something awhile (multiple lives), or maybe they had (or suffered) an event in their life that educated them in a way that was extraordinary.
Have you ever met a heavy-hitter or heard a story like this? A person you know, who maybe meets someone in the mall for a few minutes and that’s it. Goods (energy, info) are exchanged that change the course of everything?

In my job, I connect clients to their St. Michael warrior of Justice- pro bono lawyers. This year I found a lawyer for a divorced, battered woman who suffered so much financial injustice and cruelty. It was the a total miscarriage of justice I’ve ever seen. She had lost custody of her children and was paying support to her abusive ex. Several lawyers turned me down. The hand of God operated through me. Right as the last lawyer started to say No -I begged her to reconsider. She promised she would. Next thing I knew- they were in court, the judge wiped out all past and future support owed. It was a miracle!!! That was a bucket wish come true.
I find and match legal heavy hitters for clients. The healing and relief is immense for them. It’s the best job in the world.
My ASC is Scorpio and I have Pluto in Virgo on my Leo MC and Uranus in Leo in the 9th. Mars retro in Gem square Pluto. I found this job during my Chiron return- Aqua in the 3rd. I had to overcome shyness and reluctance to ask for help to do this job. I have Moon/Jupiter/Neptune in Scorpio conjunct in 12th. Lots of hope and determination!Now lawyers come to me and offer to help!!
My lesson- keep the faith-things get better and they can be amazing!!!
I am a heavy hitter and as I get older, I find that I have to conserve my energy more and be careful of whom I go to bat for.
I was just reading about the supernova hunter, Robert Evans… Spotting a supernova is like spotting a new grain of salt on miles and miles of black tabletop with salt scattered all over it. What a cool thing to recognize and be able to use, a true gift! I believe we all have unique gifts!
Elsa, thank you for acknowledging this! I relate to this soooo much on both ends. I’ve been fortunate to have had what seems to be heavy hitters swoop in to help me at opportune moments. (Jupiter in 12th? 
) My chart denotes immense problem-solving abilities (Mercury 12th trine Uranus & square Pluto 3rd, Vesta conjunct MC) However, I have realized that I, too, am a heavy hitter. Over the years, I have tirelessly volunteered my services/mentoring to other. But like firewaterearth so succinctly stated:– you have to conserve your energy because people DO take advantage and drain the life out of you. So, I’m learning to keep my distance unless it is an absolutely necessary, life-saving measure. I venture to guess because heavy hitters are such strong batteries and need extra time refuel for the next big “event”. 
And…it’s getting easier over time to just say NO! Thanks for sharing!
@CocoPeaches –that is soooo neat! I will have to check that out! And on a secondary note…I wonder what his vision strength is? As well the forensics experts who hone in on the tiniest scrap of evidence? (And what placements would denote such excellent vision and the ability to find most precisely what is invisible to the majority?? Uranus? Pluto? Mercury? an asteroid? Curious on this topic) 
Yes. I had a run-in with some corrupt folks, and the only way I could get help in the end was to call up the offices of a well-connected politician. The guy took less than 2 hours to return my call, was super polite and to the point, said he’d call me back. Called me back in less than an hour, and gave me a name and channel. So I did what he suggested, and I got a meeting, and then a settlement in less than 30 minutes.
I’d been dealing with this for months, every single legal person I asked said no, not possible, and it took him less than 10 minutes.
I’d love to see his chart!
I’m no lawyer, but I know a lot about the legal process and I’m very skilled at arguing.
My ex’s mom has had problems with her ex-husband – my ex’s dad – for years. After he left the family, he wouldn’t help her financially anymore (despite her raising four amazing and beautiful children with him) and quickly knocked up and married a woman only a few years older than his daughter.
Anyway, their youngest son really suffered when the father left. The dad basically abandoned him and started a new family. The damage this caused the son was tremendous and he still suffers today because of it. He is severely depressed. As a result, he is still not emancipated from the dad. The kid is 23 now. (Without going into too many specifics, I realize this seems inappropriate, but it’s not. These are unique circumstances).
My ex’s mom called me up one day and said she couldn’t afford an attorney and had to file the rebuttal – that day – for a lawsuit that the dad had filed against her, in an effort to stop having to pay to take care of the son – including his medical care.
She asked for my help. I went over. Wrote the entire rebuttal myself – on her behalf, as she was pro se – and …won. That was 2-3 years ago.
I got the amount of support he was required to pay increased by several thousand a month, and he had to pay his attorney like, $8,000. The kid – who is totally a man now – is still not emancipated.
It was a great feeling. To know that, as scared as she was with the lawsuit he had filed, she came to me randomly for help. I took over the entire situation (at one point, I even had to say, “You have to back off now. I’m sorry but I have two hours to write this thing and I have to focus”), I handled it in one afternoon, and finally – for once – she was able to come out on top in court.
I was a heavy hitter for my children when they were younger. Then I had no power at all. When I say power I don’t mean the kind that allows an adult parent to run their childrens households…good grief I couldn’t stand the thought of that…But, something changed for certain when Saturn entered Scorpio. While in Libra it was hideous….just beyond hideous but this shift has given me some strength back in the way I communicate and….some mojo that I have needed to help my family when they ‘ask’ for it.
My youngest son and I have had a hell of a ride together. He came after several miscarriages, and at a time when I was told I would never carry another child. I was almost resigned to the fact that I would have one child and being a Mother to more than one was just something my little body wasn’t strong enough to do. But by some miracle I got him here seven years after the first one and its been like I said, a hell of a ride.
Of course I was over protective after so many miscarrages and so many ‘almost lost hims’… that pregnancy alone would scare the devil but I got him here. And I hovered over him…. had to keep him safe he being a living miracle and all HA!
Yes we were close and then in a blink ….well we were not. I spent 15 years being his best friend to become his number one enemy almost overnight. I will never really know why…he became a teenager, then there was just no way to reach him on any level.
It has taken years for us to repair it. He is in his first Saturn return and I am here with Saturn all over me and my soul…. Something changed in both of us I guess. He is going though some real maturity issues and his return is spotlighting his responsibility and making his way to earn for his family… and he has broken away from the past, his father, and a lot of pain and asks the heavy hitter questions of me as routine these days.
Suprisingly I have been able to answer every question with clairity like I have lived a thousand years and he has taken the information and moved forward in such a short period of time.
I would never have imagined I would be able to lead someone so quickly that is such a significant person in my life. It’s important to me that he gets it…its important to me that he misses nothing.
In his Gemini-ness (Leo asc/Aqua moon) where I saw such ablility to detach and flutter all over the place he has found a profound way to ground himself and focus on what the real deal is.
We help each other. He is a heavy hitter too. When I dive off into the deep end he pulls me to the surface and reminds me that the way I see things are not always as they are. And, I have helped him go deep so he can reach his wife and daughters….
No one can ever tell me that this relationship isn’t karmic. It was going to happen. We had way too much to learn from each other and If we weren’t Mother and son ….well we wouldn’t have listened as closely to one another….neither of us love a large amount of people as it turns out, but the few we do love, we love deeply so these days we pay close attention for a message when we speak to each other. It’s very strange, and I am not sure he understands it as well as I do…but he will. This may be 20 years from now but he will remember this time, the messages and how we will have changed each other lives in short of 2 years.
By the way he has become an incredible husband and father. Those three girls (wife and daughters) just adore him. They look at him like he is this bright light and they all three just run to him for love and protection.
I may never move a mountain. I wont find a cure for a disease nor will I ever make a million dollars but I will be able to say that I left a man here that knows how to be a husband and father to 3 incredible women. And he will love and protect them and send the right messages. I know he will. But, I never would have believed this 2 years ago.
In fact I made a call to Elsa and initially had no idea what we were going to talk about. Then I blurted … I was shocked at what was spewing from my mouth. I never intended to speak of this situation that had taken me to my knees during Saturn in Libra and I was certain (and very sad) that this would be the relationship that wouldn’t make it through that transit. To my surprise its the relationship that has built the most steam. I had almost given any hope that what I was willing to say or do would have any effect on what was going on. Then after being given specific instructions…. I followed them to the T… oh old gal was not going to miss this one… I listened to that recording at least 100 times …I offered a different kind of help. I offered a different kind of support without enabling and I stepped back and took a chance….I may never hear from them again… and, the phone rang.
That son, that was never supposed to be born has become one of my best friends. His wife has too. They actually remember what I offered and what they took. Reciprocation now takes the place of selfishness and not just with them, with me as well. He still winds up and his energy flys at me like darts…I bob and weave, and bring it down and we recover beautifully. Sometimes you have to be the heavy hitter for your kid only find out…they were born into this life to get you through the rest of yours….
What you’ve said right there is everything anyone needs to know about this incarnation.
Go ahead and believe it. I have what you might call an Angel story, when one who seemed to be a human got me ‘the hell out of Dodge’, so to speak. Long story short, I was directed by two men who immediately disappeared, as did the ticket agent who sent me home. It only happened after I gave it up and told mySelf that “if God wants you back in St. Louis, then He will do as much”, and so it happened. Got on the plane, a business man said to me “you must be a frequent flier if you were privelaged to get on this flight”. I told him I was not, and no, I don’t care for a drink. Then he said the computer knows frequent fliers, but when it pulled up my name, it was written “this woman asked for God’s help, and she got it.” Oh my God, I felt so sick and was so happy to get home, and it is true, friends, sometimes you just gotta give it up and the Universe comes in for you. By the way, it was New Year’s Eve, some years ago.

I remember reading a thread on one of the boards a while back, there were couple people weighing in on the issue, the perspectives were broad and unconventional for our times. I felt a shift within, gaining wisdom I now hold with gratitude.
