Mercury is applying to square Pluto and things are hopping around here in some spots. In other spots there have been total black outs. For example over the weekend my blog was down for half a day and there was nothing I could do about it

Today, I some how dropped half my bookmarks and cannot figure out how to find the link that allows me to add things to the Astro News at the moment so again another black out.

Such a dilemma! I imagine it’s Saturn’s transit through Virgo (due to oppose Uranus) but in whatever case I am very aware I best take care what I say.

Now don’t go trying to fix me or tell me I’ve no need to censor myself because how would you know? Further, you won’t be suffering any of the consequences so it’s none of your business but here is the point of this blog, and my frustration.

The other day I had to confront my son. Forever the victim of other people’s undermining I noticed he had taken on a negative attitude towards me and it got to a point I thought I should address it.

Now in theory, no one should be telling my son bad things about me… skewing his reality.  But fact is this happens and when the effects grow too large I feel little choice but to shatter the illusion which I do with a Mack Truck sized-club unfortunately for Vid.

I discussed it with the soldier.

The soldier characterized me as the queen of abstract thinking some days ago and  fair number of people who read here couldn’t see it.

(Do You Believe In Astrology… Beware)

I am afraid I can see it and I am suffering because of it.

Althera writes regarding Mercury And Boundaries And Who Asked You?

“…Secondly, if someone asserts themselves as a public figure of a form, and is taking up public space … yeah, they are then also subject to public opinion. Standing up on a stage, talking loudly, and drawing attention to yourself full well knowing you are standing in front of an audience, and then saying, “who asked the people in the audience to make comments on what I did up on this stage and why I did it?”

I think the person on the stage did. When that person put his/herself up on the stage. It’s kind of the point of getting up on a stage in the first place.”

Althera – I see your point and I do realize I am exposing myself for public comment. But my point was that people with boundaries (control of their minds and communications) are apt to be the ones with better information.

I am talking about Saturn (discipline) mashed with Mercury (the mind). You read in astrology how people with planets in aspect to Saturn have difficulty with that area of of life but often work hard to overcome and master the thing and I think this is true.

Compare to someone with Mercury in aspect to Uranus. They may be genius but if no one can understand what they are saying, what good is it?

Do you feel you have control / command of your mind? Where is Mercury in your chart?

Loonsounds writes on We Fight Because I Am Stupid:

“For one thing, I didn’t realize or remember The Soldier was from a foreign country with a foreign language as a first language, and yet something in your writing drew out that example about India and language glitches. This poor guy, there I am intimating that he is smokin’ you a little bit, maybe not the case at all! It might really be a language thing. that’s wild.”

Alma writes, quoting something I wrote in a comment about my rudeness:

very funny – “I am not a dog that you can carry around in your purse!!”

Now see, that is the kind of thing I would yell at the soldier and he would not know what in the world I was talking about. Seems perfectly obvious to me what I am saying but he would be standing there as he says, “like a hog looking at a wristwatch”. And it would progress like this:

“A dog? What do you mean, a dog?”

“A dog! A dog! I am not a dog you can carry around in a purse! I am not civil. I am NOT!”

I never finished writing about the big fight I had with the soldier and the truck wash and the gay man and the blonde but we were talking about it a couple days ago. Mercury (communication) in aspect to Saturn creates difficulties in this arena.

If you have this in your chart you may feel something is wrong with how you converse. The soldier has these planets in aspect along with Mars (that’s the fight part) but we also have Mars, Mercury and Saturn mashed up between our charts so this is always, always our number one challenge and actually the only one we face…

“Why do we fight like we do?” he asked.

As I mentioned half the team (of women) I have been working with over these last months in regard to the anomaly has dropped off. It was a good half too, however the strongest player outside myself remains.

This gal is formidable. She happens to be an attorney but that has nothing to do with it. I have seen 6 or 7 attorneys do their gig since this thing began and they are all pretty normal except this one gal who is IN YOUR FACE.

She has a posture and while I would not characterize her as intimidating you definitely know that when you’re talking, she’s listening and her ability to listen is uncommon.

Continue reading Saturn In Virgo: Controlling Conversation / Competent Communication

I don’t care how this sounds, I really need some advice and someone out there can help. As many of you know I have been going to these meetings for months. Each time I am surrounded by people who have authority over me. Generally speaking they are all younger than me and in most cases significantly so. 10 years, maybe even 15 years younger. They have authority because I gave them authority and have no regrets on this front.

Things have gone well in this difficult situation to date. Better than could be expected I would say. There have been a couple of confrontations but these gals (I am working with 80% women) on the whole are smart and equipped to do their jobs. Mostly I am relieved the job is theirs not mine and when there has been confrontation it has been productive. No one is holding a grudge. A grudge against me that is because I am the one speaking up in challenge.
