Commitment Phobic In Her 40′s: Now What? Astrology-Based Advice
Elsa,
I feel like I’m in the midst of yet another transition or maybe still transitioning, having not yet found my place in the world, not yet found my love/life partner in this world, not yet found my livelihood in this world and desperate for all (and secretly wishing they are all intertwined with each other). It’s not for lack of opportunity or interested companions -I’ve had & have numerous wonderful men profess their love & desire to be married or build a life together. Ok, so maybe I’m a commitment-phobe aka having to have everything right & perfect before I can completely trust and commit.
Where is this ridiculous fear coming from? I know… it’s coming from me. I suppose the real question is, how do I bust it?…will I bust it?…so I might fully engage in life like I know is possible!!
Many thanks Elsa for your insight!!
Looking For My Captain’s Hat
Dear Hat,
I have no idea what your signature means but I left it intact for others to puzzle over while I try to crack your problem, which I feel is far more common than the people care to admit. The cause, and the specifics from person to person are endlessly varied but what you have in common is this: You have cracked 40 years old and you are alone. I’ll tell you exactly why I think this is.

1 Minute Astrology – Virgo Men And Women: Dogged and Disrepected But Just Try To Get By Without Them
Astrology in real life
As the the Sun and Venus head into Virgo…this is in support and defense of underrated Virgo men and women.
Voraciously Demanding Virgos Who Play “Little Maiden”
Astrology in real life.
“…You don’t want anyone stupid – you’re a Virgo!  But to find the right partner, you will have to let go the “little maiden” thing because you are far more complicated. Part of you is voraciously demanding for example, though this is not something you would put in your press kit, lol!
My point here is that by accessing your own intensity, you will increase your ability to attract someone who has what you need where denying same will leave you standing around looking confused…”
Continue reading Voraciously Demanding Virgos Who Play “Little Maiden”
There is no debate that Virgo is a critical sign. Whether this is a boon or a bust for people who interact with them depends on the Virgo. For example, I work with Virgos (The Mechanic and HQ). They are both critical thinkers with keen minds and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to run my ideas through their filter.
Virgos are efficient and can save you a lot of time and pain. The have the ability to catch your errors on all levels and provided you can bear this, you’ll be helped and often tremendously. I realize there are people who want to make their own mistakes but there are circumstances where mistakes are costly. For example you don’t want to print a million copies of something that contains a typo so in a case like that, it’s foolish not to run your copy by a Virgo.
On the other hand, I have definitely met Virgos who are absolutely insufferable. They can’t go three feet without criticizing you (or themselves) and they feel all pristine about it too.
What are your experiences with Virgos and criticism?
You’ve Got a Lot of Nerve, Virgo Mars! (Conjunct Pluto)
Notes from the Psychoscape
Went out for a bite to eat after class the other night with my yoga teacher and the Scorpio guy. The topic of conversation: Scorpio guy’s new girlfriend. Clarification: Scorpio guy’s new much younger girlfriend.
Apparently he is setting a date by which she needs to “get it together” or he’s walking.
“What does that mean, get it together?”
“Simple things. Laundry.”
“You want her to do your laundry?”
“No, I want her to do her own laundry.”
“So, you’re doing her laundry?”
“I have done her laundry a few times as a favor, but not regularly.”
“So… YOU… just want HER… to DO… her own laundry?”
“Yes.”

Progressed Moon in Virgo – Compulsive Finger Counting
Planets in Placements
Talking about the sign of the progressed moon on the boards today. Some people mentioned being miserable in Virgo. Well, not so much miserable, but uncomfortable. Need to be correct in my representation for Virgo’s Sake!
The other day I was thinking about my own experiences under the progressed Virgo moon. I briefly mentioned it here.
My progressed moon was in Virgo when I was 24. That was the year I started counting the hours. I was working at a coffee shop and consistently picking up shifts for anyone who asked. I didn’t see it as me doing them a favor. I saw it as them giving me more money, but I was also not ignorant to the fact that I came out looking helpful.

Surreal Family Antics by My Neptune in the 4th
Hopefully Coherent Ramblings
Several references to Kenny Rogers around here recently and I am reminded of “Cousin Gerard.”
This was at the tail end of my Pluto to natal Neptune transit and I woke up in Las Vegas. We were staying with my boyfriend’s aunt from his mother’s side of the family, the Chinese side. While we were there his father, the travelling professor phoned to tell us that “Cousin Gerard” from Austria would be joining us. It was a very Wes Anderson-esque extended family comedy situation.

Virgo Rising, Leo Rising and Ascendants in General by Nota
Real Conversation
I went out for noodles with my yoga teacher and another girl after class.
Cherie starts talking about how she’s working on letting go of this compulsive sort of feeling she has where she needs to tell people she is smart.
“I’m smart. I know people can tell I’m smart when they talk to me. I know this. But for the longest time I have struggled with feeling like I have to let people know.”
“You even advertise it.” I say tracing a line across my chest. I am referencing her collection of math joke t-shirts that she wears to class.
“I do! I want people to see. What’s that about?! You know, why do I keep doing this?”

The Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn by Nota
Elementary, My Dear
The signs can be divided into Triplicities, that’s groups of three, also known as Elements
Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn make up the earth signs.
Earth is palpable. It is the stuff of physical form. People with a lot of earth in their charts make things. Plain and simple.

Dixie’s Daily Tarot, December 2, 2010: Refining Your Aim
Astrology Meets Tarot
Man, it was a day.
I fired a client, raised prices in my web business, did site updates, answered email, did Tarot and shopped for Christmas. And still plenty to do! Geez. Good time to make sure the work I’m doing is working for me, I think.
Today’s Tarot is the Eight of Pentacles, upright today. Associated with Sun in Virgo, it’s not hard to see the theme. Known as “the apprentice card,” you’ll see it frequently to indicate a program of vocational study, a new job or new responsibilities at an existing job. Work issues are going well and progress is made through thoughtful, dedicated practice.
