The AstroBlogosphere is talking about the current transit of Venus through Leo, tied up with Neptune, here – raging universe, and here – neith.net

I have Venus in Leo in aspect to Neptune natally here’s my contribution:

Briiinnnng! Brinnnnnnng!

“Hello?”

“Morning, P. How are you this morning?”

“Oh, well I just got up and I am feeling so good and happy I think I’m illegal,” I said. “This is not fair to others,” added my Libra.

“How’s that? What’s not fair?”

“Well I got up and I saw myself in the mirror and I thought, Jesus Christ. Does your hair look good or what!” I laughed. “I’m going to the gym today and I don’t have to do anything but walk out the door. And I feel really good about this, you can imagine.”

“Are you shiny, P?”

“Yes! And I do think I’m lawless to feel this good when I am this old. Because lets face it! I’m am old as dirt and society does everything they can to make you feel like crap when you get this age. I’m supposed to feel lousy about myself and I am so happy I don’t feel like that at all. I feel wonderful.”

“You do? You like how you look, P?”

“Yes I do. I love the way I look and I realize I may be deluding myself but I can’t see how it matters. If if am old and ugly, it is unbeknownst to me. So I guess all those the surgeons can just go begging. I’m not going to be showing up at their office to get all sliced and diced.”

“Guess not. No way, P.”

“Right. And it strikes me that feeling confident about the way you look (Leo) is a gift from God (Neptune). And it doesn’t seem to matter if it’s real or not. If you believe (Neptune) you look good (Leo), then that’s it. You go out the door, beaming and nothing can stop you.”

It was heartening to see 30 people show up to brag on their hair. Now if we can just get people to feel the same about their bodies, their faces, their feet, hands and butts! How about it?

Any other mavericks out there? Anyone else think they look good enough the way they are?
