Most creative people know that feeling when the material seems to come through you, rather than from you. When I get in a storytelling mode I can sit and type all day,  having no idea what I’m doing, I just do it.   I have no outline.  I have no agenda other than it’s occurred to me to tell some story. I don’t have a reason to tell the story and don’t feel I need one.  The impulse is there and I obey it.

Some months ago, satori asked on the board – What movie is like your life? I couldn’t think of anything so I asked my husband what he thought and he said, Helen Keller, which surprised me.

When I’m surprised like that, I’m inclined to retreat and try to figure the thing out, rather than ask a bunch of probing questions. I figure I ought to comprehend something like this and if I can’t I should figure it out on my own, or perhaps I just don’t want another surprise.

With Neptune in aspect to Venus, I have a great sensitivity to photographs. In spite of leaving all kinds of things behind, I have not disposed of a photograph or marred one in anyway (like marking out someone’s face). Nothing against people who purge. I’m just saying if I ever took your picture, I still have it.

Today I was digging through my husband’s pictures to find whatever pictures he had of his friend and thinking of how precious these images are and of the abuses I have seen over the years that are centered around photographs.

It’s been awhile since we talked about “imprints” as far as a person having an organic attraction to a certain physical type but I like the topic and think it’s important.  Here are some prior posts on the topic that cover various angles.  Saturn in Libra topic because we’re defining tastes.

Someone bought the man an email consultation. He doesn’t know any astrology and he asked for info. I figure others are curious, so…

“…As for how these things go, I can discern all kinds of things from your chart so it’s a matter of knowing what would be most helpful for you.  For example, some people want to know time frames. When do things ease? Other people want strategies for coping, tactics and the like.  Others look for meaning in their experience, some perspective that will allow them to transcend their pain. Other want to focus on one area, like love, or they may have some burning question that has dogged them for years. Any or all of these types things can be addressed.

As for form, I ask you what’s on your mind, you tell me and I take it from there. Usually there is time for a dialogue but if you get into something deep and complex, I may use all the time to address it adequately. The goal here is that whatever happens, it works for you…”

Are you on the fence about hiring an astrologer?

While we have a lot in common and know we belong together, my husband and I are profoundly different in certain ways.   I’ve got a strong enough Neptune signature, I often feel blissful.   I feel bliss each day for sure. It’s just not that hard for me to feel spectacularly happy.

My husband questions this and says he never feels bliss. It took me aback at first but you see he is a Rhino and look at the Rhino. Does he look like he wants to feel bliss? He does not.

My husband has no interest whatsoever in chasing or experiencing bliss.  He says “regular” is fine with him.

Do you experience feelings of bliss?

This is a topic most would not bring up but I’m going to do it real quick while the Moon in Aries squares Venus and Pluto…with Saturn in Libra.  The other day, I posted about deathbed photos, warning that some might find it ghoulish. I explained that my sister and I both have a strong Saturn Neptune signature and we know all about sharing a burden.  We can dissipate our burden, or take yours on, as easy as we can breathe. It’s one of the reasons that sensitive people who arei n pain, call me. I can relieve them.

With Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, this is newly relevant. You can break your bad patterns in relationship. Here’s how!

To a client:

“I don’t think you are this guy’s imprint. You’re functioning as his therapist and that’s fine. You’re drawn to his intensity and I understand that but I think when/if he ever wants to actually partner with someone, he is going to go for someone else.  You want a partnership. You’re a Libra!  You see that you’re both ambitious, successful and attractive and think, great!  We’re peers.  But I don’t know that he wants a peer.  I think he wants an imbalance of power. I think that is what he likes so when he is ready to partner, he’s going to go for that. I would be happy to be wrong about this but check it out okay?  I don’t want you to listen to this guy’s angst for all these months and then someone shows up on the periphery who is his imprint and POOF!”

Sound familiar, anyone?
