isthmus nekoi of obivinorum.com asks:

“Is what you’re suggesting keeping the energy and discarding the form?”

No. What I am suggesting is energy is received…in this case, negative energy. Someone attacks you. Someone betrays you. Someone stabs you.

At that point you have their energy. Energy is neutral until directed. So I am not suggesting you keep anything. I mean, you can do whatever you want. But I am suggesting that it is possible to the negative energy and use it (direct it) in a way that is productive for yourself and others.

And how do you think it feels to be the gal who cheated on him, hmm?

How well that gal fares depends on how well she knows how to use energy! Hank Williams is up there on the stage singing about her cheating heart! And people are clapping! And he’s getting paid! And where is she? She’s up a creek! But what she does at this juncture is up to her.

At first there is anger, I’m sure. That bastard!  It’s not like we hear her side of the story! So she can spiral down in a sea of resentment and victim-hood or she might do something completely different. She might think about her cheating heart! And she might decide to feel her feelings. To dig it out, so to speak. She might go the grueling path and if she does that…

Annalisa told me some 25 years ago that she felt making a child was the ultimate creative act. 

The Sun / 5th rules children and creativity so you see the astrological correlation.

What do you think is the ultimate creative act?

Alison writes on the Pluto Uranus conjunction blog

In the sixties we did see new ways of being; the pill gave sexual liberation, revolutionary art, poetry, music and fashion. However, having observed my fellow peers with Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo there is a deep conservatism in this bunch. Like the Virgo is private and this group can keep their radicalness private and not on display. Some friends (of this group) have very mainstream, suburban, straight lives on the surface – but dig a little deeper and there will be an (one ?) aspect of their lives that is very naughty, risque and/or potentially criminal, experimental, creative. Many choose safe lives on the surface whilst being underground mavericks. Would love to hear more from Elsa with her knowledge an experiences with this curious lot.

A common dilemma facing all artists is how much effort do you put in regarding the details at the expense of the underlying communication of the work? Or, in other words, one can get so caught up in perfecting every detail that one loses sight of the original intention and energy of the
work.

“I have no creativity,” I told the soldier today. “Just none at all.”

“No?”

“No, it’s gone. It up and left, I don’t know why. I have been ultra-creative for about a month I think (Neptune confusion). I am pretty sure I have put out a lot of stuff and the whole class and stuff… er, I have been doing all kinds of things for awhile but at the moment I have no creativity at all. I guess people may be surprised I’ve no more anything.”

“Well I am sure you’ll be creative again in about… a minute,” he said.

“Oh. Oh well yeah, that could happen.”

Who can relate?

My son has begun to cartoon his life. He draws what he sees the way he sees it and I am freakishly happy because I know firsthand how telling stories invokes Jupiter which acts as anecdote to the Saturn blues.

My son really has had a terrifically difficult life starting from the time he was 4 days old and seeing him with this outlet… well I just know he will blossom and be okay.

A few weeks ago he was threatening to draw his Mom burping and I think he has caught on to the power of all this. Got a problem with your mother? Draw her burping and watch her Libra flip out! There. All better.

This started when he was 4 years old. My daughter had been picking on him not stop as she was prone to do and apparently he had just had enough. Never in his life had he retaliated but he was PISSED and he grabbed a piece of paper and drew a picture of a tic.

Venus (vanity) is conjunct Mercury (writing) in Aquarius (shocking / proactive / progressive). This conjunction opposed my natal Venus in Leo… which really likes it’s own hair.

“Well the whole blog is provocative,” I said. “There are 3 or 4000 posts I have written on this blog alone and every single one of them is going to provoke or shock someone. Oh my God, how can she say that?!? The astrology alone is enough to make most flip their lid and what am I supposed to do?”
