Filtering Content (And Deluding Yourself) Is Dangerous

March 10th, 2011 @ 10:01 am by Elsa

My eye on the sky

This is from the boards on the Political Majority thread.  The idea there is it seems to me that most consider themselves to be part of the majority at point.  They feel they are part of the “sleeping giant” or the “silent majority”.

I wrote:

It’s really easy to filter and delude yourself. For example, I LOVE twitter.  But I can easily filter content so all the streams I read are from people who agree with me.  I think this is a dangerous thing to do, at this point.  Dangerous due all the Aries on the way…

Aries Schools Libra

February 25th, 2011 @ 7:25 am by Elsa

Astrology in real life.

This post will seem harsh to many but I offer it because we’ve got the stellium in Aries set to oppose Saturn in Libra and I think this has value. It’s worth mentioning that Mars and Mercury will be part of the Aries stellium, opposing my natal Mars Mercury conjunction Libra. It’s a safe bet, my lessons will be pointed.

Vicious Attack: Who Can Forget?

February 2nd, 2011 @ 2:42 pm by Elsa

Astrology in real life

Once upon a time, another astrologer came on the blog and launched a vicious attack on one of the regulars. It was the astrologer’s first post here and a total blood-letting.

I was online at the time, as was the attacker and the attacked so this all happened in real time. I tried to mediate for about 3 minutes before it became obvious these women were both out to kill, at which point, I deleted comments that made up the exchange and blocked the astrologer.

I started talking about this conversation I had with my Yoga teacher and someone else over noodles the other day. You can catch up here.

So, anyway… The other girl starts telling us about her therapy session.

“I’m going to see a counselor about my issues with my horn.”

Mars And The Moon: Physical Or Emotional Pain by Satori

December 29th, 2010 @ 1:31 pm by Satori

“Oh you can set yourself into a bonfire and we’ll break out the marshmallows and the weenies but you ain’t gonna be on News at Eleven.”
–Harry Callahan, The Dead Pool

Fight ClubYesterday I got the flu shot. My cousin has the flu and wound up in the hospital ICU with nearly total paralysis. My mother was freaking out and applied extreme pressure on me to get the vaccine. I don’t usually get the shot. I rely on my normally strong immune system and prophylaxis, hand-washing, cleaning and avoidance. I allow my mother to schedule flu shots for the kids as they’ve never had bad reactions to vaccines and I figure the risks weigh out on the plus side for their overall health.

Venting Anger – MARS!

December 27th, 2010 @ 11:08 am by Elsa

Astrology in real life

mars fire destructionThis post is a PS to the Bridezillas post where I acknowledged I have various skittish behaviors.

My husband and I were talking over Christmas and one thing that came up was my tendency to get pissed off, (irrationally so) in certain circumstances.   The main scenario that sets me off is when his schedule gets out of whack which throws my schedule out of whack.

Astrology, Mars And Training To Win!

December 18th, 2010 @ 3:09 pm by Elsa

Astrology in real life

I talk sometimes about how effort trumps aptitude.  There is many a gifted kid out there who is outperformed by a child with less talent who tries hard.

I also talk about how your skills degrade if you don’t use them. All skills are like this.  If you’re a weightlifter and you quit lifting weights for a year, those weights are going to be very heavy when you try to pick them back up.  I read charts every day, 7 days a week.  I am on top this stuff.

Dixie’s Daily Tarot, November 3, 2010: Game Over

November 3rd, 2010 @ 5:03 am by Dixie

Astrology Meets Tarot

tower-tarotThere’s that point of no return in every situation, where circumstances have progressed beyond repair. Maybe it’s an affair in a marriage, a crumbling business, a disintegrating friendship or a loved one’s illness progressed beyond expectation of recovery. Whatever the specifics, it’s clear there’s no coming back. Whether this is a bad thing or a good thing to you matters very little, because spinning potential outcomes is no longer an option. Adjustment and acceptance is all you’ve got, so best make the most of it.

Dixie’s Daily Tarot, October 26, 2010: Inescapable Doom?

October 26th, 2010 @ 5:03 am by Dixie

Astrology Meets Tarot

tarot-tower-reversed“Don’t create problems you don’t have,” is one of my favorite stock pieces of advice. It’s easy enough to say, much harder to apply. (It’s often ignored; maybe that’s why.) Most have done the whole catastrophic visualization thing at some point, including me. But some get sucked into the mindset as a way of life. I get the fear that drives it, but it seems a tremendous waste of energy to me—frequently at a time when that energy is needed elsewhere.

Ask The Collective: Mars in the Zodiac: Are You a Bear?

September 20th, 2010 @ 1:28 pm by Elsa

Ask the Collective…

bear My husband told me this story (circa 2007).  I thought it so disturbing I had no plans to repeat it until it just keep coming up over and over again and I decided to start sharing it with a couple of people.

The first gal I told seemed to react akin to the way I did but the next pal, also a woman had a completely different read so now I want a larger sample. But besides that, I jut think this is a freakishly interesting topic so here goes… this is a true story.

Two boys go to a fair. This would be in the 60′s before “animal rights” existed which is probably one of the reasons this story disturbed me. And I’m sorry if it upsets you in a similar way but if I don’t write about the animal here, then there will be no story, so…
