Constipation?

Not trying to belittle the physical feeling here. I've had patients taken to the ER for heart problems, but it was actually gas. I've actually thought about calling an ambulance for myself, but simethicone worked.
Did your sheets smell when you woke up? Seriously, not trying to belittle the physical feeling here.

I had thought about that months sgo when I first started feeling it and changed my diet and excersize and water...and Im a very regular person. Ive had gas pain and tummy aches severely in the past when I would eat fried food.
It wasnt in the same place and it just got more and more intense and harder and harder to breathe without being consciously in control of it.

I gave up yesterday though. Like a complete surrender to God.
Sabrina took my brand new car and drove it around the park. And crashed. Shes ok. The car, totalled.
God didnt want me to have a nice new pretty car. God wanted me to have my daughter though. 3k up in smoke.
I didnt cry or scream or be mean or act crazy.
She destroted my car...our hopes of moving....my reserves of money for rent and heating fuel....

The day before....my beloved son took some drugs (shatter?) And ocerdosed and I thought I lost him.

I dont know what happened except that I just kinda gave up fighting and resisting reality. .

Truth.

Your guess about constipation though...
Not to be crude
But after the fear of holding my unconscious son and not knowing what happened and the thought of not having him....
The fear of thinking my daughter was dead. (Bc I KNEW in my soul she had crashed before I found her)....

I just dont give a poop anymore
Nothing matters but life and the people we love.
I dont care about a car
Or being evicted
Or loosing my job
Or not eating cake
Or camping
Or anything
Its all meaningless without love and communion with our loved ones

The world is filled with things like cars and houses and boats and campers and they are nothing without people.

Almost 100, 000 people have died from a virus....and those poor families will never be the same.
I lost a car
I lost my job
I lost my home
So what
Who cares
I can buy another car
I cant buy a new Orion or Sabrina

But thats how I see things.

Apparently humans are replaceable and as unimportant and unvalued as last weeks iphone to the mass population.
Im not a sheep though....got me a nice star chart that tells of a much different character.
One that no longer gives a rats bottom about the rat race.

I had a really nice birthday this year, but my SSR started the day after my "birthday."
On my SSR day I induldged in eating nice food and just being chill...little reading, a disney movie, music, watching nature....just really calm and pleasant activities. I didnt want to take any risks with myself ......
But then again getting outa bed can be risky.

Two things though that I want to note because of my SSR chart. I expierenced (this is going to sound so weird) communion in a way. I have never had Catholic Communion. My daughters boyfriend had brought me a cookie from Panera where he works.
This was the most delicious wonderful all good things in the world cookie. I was literally blown away by how good this cookie was. I dont know hiw to properly explain what was going on in my mind but it was as if my sences and being were atom by atom seperating out each granual and expierencing it and all that it was.
I was not on drugs or drink.
The thing that really touched me though was the thought that the whole world was in on this cookie. As I tasted the sugar, the cane fields and farmers and manufacturer and the delivery to the market and the baker...and then the vanilla from the jungle, and the wheat from the field, and the eggs...and on and on my mind raced through the thousands of people who all in some way all came together in some invisible way....to produce the most delicious cookie I have ever had.
And I was so thankful foreach one.
And I gave praise and prayers and thanks in my heart because it was so clear to me how we are all interlinked and interdependant and essential and what a wonderful thing.
And of course I cried because as I felt that communion and goodness I knew that somehow even though I dont know my part, i helped with that cookie too and that I was a part of something wonderful.

I do believe the SSR venus moon jupiter aspects can explain that cookie. It took me almost half an hour to eat it and I almost was gonna save a nibble for my "mopping up" time.

The other thing has to deal with what I was talking about yesterday and my pain in my lungs and heart that suddenly went away.......

I have been sleep walking. Since my birthday. Its happened a few times that I know of. I found a half glass of milk in my bedroom last night. I dont drink milk.
Consciously. I think that in my sleep I went and drank milk because I intuitively knew I needed the calcium and minerals to help restore balance in my body.

SSR 2021

In looking at my SSR for next year I was concidering relocating to make the best of it.
I dont see many easy or realistic options though. I am thinking it might be feasible to shift the MC away from my Pluto and towards my Uranus. Im weighing the options. I dont see anyway to get an angle to the Venus Jupiter Transit.
If I am expierementing with locations I am assuming I should create a new chart based on the time my SSR actually occurs (when the sun returns to 5 degrees Aquarius) and sample locations around the world that would put the MC around 18 degrees Pisces (with my natal Uranus being opposite at 18 degrees Virgo.)?
With the world seemingly going through Hell and possibly getting worse and harder it might make my kids and family and friends life feel not so bad if instead of me having an angular Pluto that I had an angular Uranus. Im a silly jokester and cheerleader and helper and loce ti make people smile and feel better and the world seems to need that....a little bit more then an aloof lonely unicorn.

How long is your leash? That is, what's the geographic range for the travel?

One useful piece of information: I wouldn't consider natal Pluto angular. It looks close to Descendant but (due to its high latitude) for Rochester it's 13°34' above Descendant. It's more than 2° from square MC, more than 3° from Westpoint, so I wouldn't count it.

Nonetheless, I'd be happy to help you find where natal Uranus is on an angle.

Let's do some simple estimating... This is all approximating...

Your Uranus is at RA 192°21'. For next year's significant birthday, there will be 0°42' of precession since birth, so (just as an approximation! this won't be exactly right), let's add this 0°42' to Uranus' RA to get 193°03'.

Your Solar Return RA MC for Rochester will be 272°08'. 90° is the Westpoint (the closest 90° interval to your Uranus), which is 182°08'. This is about 11° earlier than your Uranus in RA, which means that your natal Uranus will be on Westpoint 11° east of the longitude of Rochester, or about 66 1/2° West longitude. This is the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, for example near Bermuda, or parts of South America like Venezuela.

There isn't anyplace in North America that fits that longitude; and your Uranus on Descendant is going to be close to it.

We need a different theory. Give a minute to look around...

Re: Veronica

My theory... Your next SSR has somethings you probably don't want to put there, such as a Mercury-Saturn conjunction or the exact Saturn-Uranus square. On the other hand, there is also a Mercury-Jupiter conjunction, on the other side of Mercury from Saturn. On the other other hand, even if you work with this Mercury-Jupiter, you'll get some Saturn in the mix.

You also have a reasonable Moon-Jupiter square but should avoid those places where Moon's conjunction with Mars gets closer mundanely. You could also entertain places where the Venus-Mars aspect is angular, though I don't see any of those in the target area.

Perhaps the most benefic area in the continental United States is the curve halfway between when Venus rises and Jupiter rises. You miss out on having either of them exactly angular, but you get a balance of the two of them having some strength. This line begins at about the southern pint of the Arizona-New Mexico border and curves up and to the right through New Mexico, Colorado, and onto the northern plains. Denver is very close to the center. In fact, for Denver the Venus/Jupiter midpoint is within a quarter degree of Ascendant, both of those planets being about 2° off the angle. You also get Saturn and Mercury about 7° off the angle, which is a big gap... the Venus-Jupiter would definitely be stronger. Your Sun is just over 5° on the other side of Ascendant. Mars exactly squares the rising Venus, so you can have some fun, but Mars itself is not in close orb of square Ascendant.

Jupiter conjoins your Mercury, which is very close to Ascendant and - oh, my! - I just noticed that the Midheaven is 11°35' Scorpio, conjunct your natal Jupiter. Two Jupiters and a Venus - If it were me, I'd go with Denver and probably stop looking.

Here's an unusual way of looking at your next Solar Return for Denver - I just came up with this way of displaying it. The inside ring is the Solar Return itself. The outside ring is the mundoscope (ignore the sign markings in the outer ring); for example, it shows Venus at 1°59' Aries, which really means 1°59' of the 1st house, i.e., 1°59' below Ascendant. Jupiter is 27°35' Pisces which really means 27°35' in the 12th house, or 2°25' above Ascendant. Don't compare the two circles - look at each in its own terms.

I have one other idea but this one is so good you might be happy with it. (I'll com back and delete this chart later.)

Forget the other spot: I was chasing Jupiter & Mercury square Ascendant in Nova Scotia - around Happy Valley, NS, perhaps not a place to go in February.

But it turns out Mars and Uranus are conjoined on Asc there. Don't want you falling through the ice.

Hmmmmm

Thanks Jim for looking into this and explaining some options.

Its an exciting thought to look at the different options and wonder what type of manifestion or unfolding each could uniquely bring to my life.
Truthfully each one sounds possibly wonderful or exciting and enjoyable in its own way.
The nice beach...
The open skies
The deep snow and ice
My personality could work with what ever
Which is why I often feel that Im supposed to be right about here at these coordinates.

I mean
I try to make good choices and do the right thing but I make mistakes a lot and dont know whats best or right.
If I try to force things or make them go my way it doesnt seem to work out like I thought. The Universe though seems to really know how to make order out of choas and unfolds things beautifully and consistently. It plunked me down here.

It could be that I need to assert my will over my life and take a very scary 50th bday trip to the Bermuda Triangle. Seems like a climatic event in the face of the global pandemic and the possibility of ending up quarentined there away from my kids. Being held down on an island would most likey push my control issues into overload. That would take a huge surrender on my part and I dont have that in me today.

I do like the sound of Denver and Colorado. I could go sledding which would be a lot of fun, and look at the big dark sky at night.

Much to think about. Thanks again.

My demi lunar set up on the 25th

T Mars is conjunct my Mercury
-I got a check from the government
-also heard bad news that my eldest brother has cancer
- got a text from my ex husband that stated out innocent enough but quickly spiraled down.
-Received some communication from people who I had distanced myself from because they were abusive and they are the same.

T Venus is opposite my Mars
- been able to hike alot
-got asked out on three dates


The square on my Mars by Neptune is past 2 degrees now and I am physically feeling stronger each day, espicially my fine motor skills and endurance. The weird sensation in my solar plexus is completely gone.

My emotional body seems to have cleared up things because in the past month I have had several extremely stressfull/scary/confrontational things arise and I didnt react or respond much at all.

Re: Veronica

I didnt note the other day when looking at my return that T Mars (while it is conjunct my Mercury) is also square my Saturn and Trine my mars.

I think that influence is clearly shown in the events.

Yet on that day when Mars was square my Saturn instead of feeling inadequite, overloaded, suppressed, depressed about things, I was calm centered and surprisingly clearheaded and emotionally stoic.

In a very profound way, even though at the time it felt unbearable, I am grateful for the SSR expierences I have had in the past 3 years esp. Because the lessons and conditioning that my being went through have unfolded me to a place where I am grounded yet flexible in a way I never could have imagined.

In my lunar return for May 8th Mars has progressed to 1 degree Aquarius, passing my Node and close to conjunct my Sun at 5 degrees Aquarius. This feels like a more specifically "me" time to feel the Martian forces, as Mars will also then be coming into orb with squaring my Moon/neptune.

Because of my SSR Mars Pluto I do plan on doing all I can to stay healthy and active and think good thoughts and stay true to my goals and objectives.

My lunar return was this morning.

Its been challenging in this pause in some ways, like the ambiguity of income, but so refreshing in others. I havent had this many "sleep in days" in my life. Im still up before dawn but no rude alarm at 4. I love so much of this and it all centers around how the pollution on all its levels has slowed. Its what my little eco warrior heart has been praying for her whole life. Stopping the wasteful and harmful actions.

Ive been knee deep in my books. They had been boxed since I moved 2 years ago. I had planned on moving now but since were not I unboxed them and have been reading. I realized as I unpacked them what a nerd I am.
Never heard that delineation but Im sure its the Aquarian.

In this months lunar return my attention was drawn to the lunar node conjunct my Asc as the smallest aspect.
I flipped through my SSR charts to see how the node has transited my chart over my life and I was shocked to see that the apparent motion of the node goes clockwise, which I had never noticed. So thats a mystery to discover.

I find it very fitting though, after thinking about my life progression and the nodes placement throughout and where I find myself. Hard work, patience and lotsa love pay off.

On the date of my Lunar Return 5/8 I received an email from the Superintendent (to all staff/faculty) that stated essential staff will be coming back to work to close up the school for the year and prepare the school for the fall. No dates or anything just a short heads up this is gonna have to happen.

Yesterday at 4:45 I received another email......
I GET TO GO BACK TO WORK ON MONDAY!!!!
half days. Full pay.
My librarian got a new job as well and will not be returning.
I am fortunate in that I did not miss many wages as they paid me for all my sick/personal days that I had "banked" and is now at zero. I am glad as well that I had taken precautions and saved my money and had a bit of a slushfund to tap into.

The lunar Return had the T Sun conjunct my natal Saturn.
As well as angular T Mars at 1 degree Aquarius conjunct my node and widely conjunct my Sun.

Granted it is only till mid June and then the school year is over.

I am so excited!
Im glad that I had been sticking to my regular plan and routine throughout this pause...going to bed between 8 and 9 and getting up most days before 6am....because the groans and comments I heard from coworkers seemed to imply that they have been out of routine and living as if on vacation.

Woohoo! That's great news!

Your natal Venus-Uranus square was on the angles when the email came yesterday and exactly on your quotidian angles along with your Sun:

15°57' Vir - t Asc
17°37' Gem - t MC
18°16' Vir - SNQ Asc
18°47' Vir - r Uranus
20°18' Sag - r Venus
20°40' Gem - SNQ MC
23°20' Vir - SNQ EP
24°07' Pis - SNQ Sun

Happiness amidst surprise also was shown for the day in the Solar Quotidian:

26°47' Tau - t Venus
27°36' Sco - SQ MC

18°47' Vir - r Uranus
18°51' Sag - SQ Moon

PS - I've been experimenting with a new way of progressing lunar returns throughout the month. It hasn't been working very well and probably will amount to nothing; however, for this event for you, it put transiting Jupiter 1°12' from an angle (with the exact contact about 2 PM, perhaps when the decision was being made or the email formulated). I note this in passing because other tests of this haven't worked so well.

I am just so tickeled pink!!
Its not even about the money.....I just miss all my little friends so much and even though I wont see them, getting the library and the whole school ready for there return will bring me so much joy.

My principle has been sending weekly updates, and in these supposedly business letters he has woven in his personal feelings and reflections about life and purpose and helping. The fears and saddness and helplessness that emerge from our understanding that this PAUSE has functionally made children we know are needy or troubled/abused and find refuge at school stuck with no choices......how this man goes on and on about....what can we do...what else can we do....how can we do it better...complete selflessness and dedication and hope.

Thanks Jim forgiving me my daily break down too. Im not sure how to do those charts on astro.com but if I play around with it and refer back to your numbers I think I can figure it out. The premise is, if I understand correctly, that each day (24 hourish period) can be broken down into a smaller scale of my natal chart.

I do really love that venus uranus square I got. Definately a happy feel good aspect as opposed to my venus saturn trine.

You can do a quotidian chart using your solar return by taking the data astro.com helpfully provides and using it as birth data for a new "person," maybe named "Veronica's Solar 2020." Then you can progress the chart the same way you do your natal chart. Just put the date you want in the date field where you choose chart options and choose progressed chart.

Remember all charts are cast for the year shown in the date field when you cast the chart. If you want your 2019 solar return (like if your birthday wasn't till August) remember to change the year or you'll get 2020 instead.

I had my demi lunar start on the 22 of May, which was an all around beautiful event because that was the week my heart really was filled with the most joy I have felt in a long time. And I got to return to work
The transiting Sun was conjunct my demi Moon at 7* Taurus with transiting Venus and Mercury conjunct at 25* opposite my natal mars.
I splurged and bought myself roses and a bunch of petunias and begonias and more and had the best of time arranging and planting them all in my planters and making my front porch look and smell just wonderful. I always buy my spring flowers from this way outta the way green house farm that my mom discovered back in 91 when we first moved out there. I love supporting small business and people who grow things are just a very special bunch of people I think and really need all the support and help they can get.
I also noted that Transiting Chiron was conjunct my natal Chiron and I think that it most definitely carried a air of that good cheer and comradery especially at work, where in a way I am defacto manager of the library now that the Librarian moved on.
My lunar return is coming up and I am hoping that my excellent health and good attitude stick around.

Thank you Steve for your continued support and positive jives.
It is so surprising to me just how healthy and positive I am right now. Thank goodness I have skill at astrology to be able to see the road ahead a bit and in my own way try to bring all that is in my life to a more beautiful loving place/space. I am soaking up this nice time and filling away in my memories all the goodness it has to offer because like all things, this will change and I am sure that at some point I wont be feelings as happy and healthy as I am right now. yet though with the skill of astrology I will be able to navigate those hard times much more skillfully then I have in the past when confronted with challenges. I know my children will be leaving me soon and I will have the struggle of all that emotion of letting go and letting god and turning things over and giving up control....for 20 years they have been my responsibility and it will be sad when they dont need me at all any more.

I had an extraordinary experience the eve of my Lunar return that I think really shows my progression in life. As a child I was very sick with all sorts of allergies and asthma as well as a poor immune system. When we got the diagnosis and prognosis I recall my mom getting rid of her cats and most all my stuffed animals and dust collectors and even her house plants as a way to try and stop my over re activeness to environmental stimulus. It has been an on going underlying health factor for me for most all of my life.

In the past 2 years though I have done some self experimenting with my health and diet, and I do believe that most all of my afflictions as a child were caused by my diet (specifically high diary, sugar, wheat/flour and caffeine). I have weeded those items out of my diet for a few months and then reintroduced them and observed my reactions. All of those items are high trigger foods for me that I have discerned influenced my moods, my mental alertness/clarity/creativity, my physical energy levels and my spirit.
I feel that this taking back control of my health and adhearing to my own diet plan is very much an aspect of my venus/saturn aspect, as I do love love love all those things that I have found to be very unhealthy for me, and have to have limited amounts of if I want to maintain homeostasis and health.

The eve of my lunar return I sat outside on a wonderfully threatening "thunderstorm" evening in my lounge chair. My far away neighbors barn cat wandered up. I have seen this cat like 2 times in the two years Ive lived here. After much meowing at me, the cat jumped up onto me and nestled right down on my bosom, face to face, paws extended with claws doing some weird cat digging pawing thing on my chest, but ever so gently, and he closed his eyes and just purred right on me, a complete stranger.
it was wonderful.
I've never ever felt a cat purring in my heart before. I felt it in my heart, the vibration of his contentment.
it was one of the most beautifully amazing thing I have ever felt.
I was scared, this cat could rip me right up and down, its claws on my throat, his mouth right at my nose, but he didn't. he just lay there happy to be on me.
As a child that would have sent me to the ER with a fullbown attack. the nail marks normally swell up like a gaping red sore and the dander and saliva would have closed up my lungs.

I have come to understand that for me to really be happy I have to closely control and restrict my intake of things that I know I am allergic to and that cause me to react because they effect me so strongly.

The interesting thing for me about this, is the timing. while the whole world seems to be getting sicker and sicker in so many ways, I am getting healthier and stronger and happier and more loving.

I have always thought that it was my Moon/Neptune/Jupiter that was the bane of my allergies and illnesses, that over sensitivity. what I find so interesting about right now and my good health is that my solar arc moon/Neptune/Jupiter right now are at 29 27 and 26 degrees Sag right now, which considering the placements of transiting Pluto Saturn and Jupiter this year, it seems like an odd fit but an important personal transit.

8-) :) V, I think Cats know our inner self's better than we know things, and knows it wants to be friends with you. I think the cat came to you possibly letting you know he/she felt your truer inner peace and love. I have a recent new cat experience I would like to share with you latter. Of all the cats who have found me in my life--this latest cat who came into my life is the most loving cat ever to enter my home---he is very special to my life.

I have always found great contentment for my life by just taking as much time as possible to closely observe cats, particularly when outdoors. It is truly amazing to observe their keen sense of hearing & sight. I love listening to my cats when they take their moments to communicate with me.

I think I have been casting my lunar return charts wrong.
I have in the past been just using the automated " lunar return" chart from astro.com but I always seem to get very different calculations from the ones Jim shows.
So for example astro said my demi lunar return started on the 18th and produced a chart. Yet yesterday when I ran a daily transit the moon was actually in the correct degree.
I think that I am going to use the empheris from now one to find the true date/time of my returns instead of the generated one.


I have been so so so busy with things ever since that cat showed up. But it has been just wonderful. I have had so much physical work at school....moving books, rearranging furniture, searching classrooms, running reports, processing over a thousand new books....all with out any "authority" or direction from the Principals. I just new what had to be done and did it.
I got an accolade from the Principal too telling me the library finally looks like a library again.

Its also been a very interesting time for me emotionally. My hyper sensitivity to rites of passage and anniversaries is always super strong this time of year, but this year it was not as "knock me off my feet"......june 14th &16th was the anniversary of my mother and two of my nephews passing (weird). Yet this feeling of deep communion with all things seems to have settled in me and I actually felt absolutely wonderful and grateful and blessed in stead of melancholy and pained.

Its hard to explain....but for along time loosing my mother was in a real way like loosing my faith and connection as I felt so alone and lost and misunderstood. It grieved me for her: getting married and having children and all those things daughters want to share with thier mother.

My daughter graduated. She earned her High school diploma. She earned her nursing certicated. She earned 4 years of honor roll. She earned "outstanding literacy achievement." She also earned a distinction I didnt even know about....she was honored by The People of the United States of America via the President with an award for outstanding academic achievement. A beautiful certification and letter from the Potus and a gold pin.

Jim, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my friend and being so supportive and encouraging to me, being honest and challenging, for showing me other views and ideas, for holding my hand in dark alleys and being yourself. I think it was 2007 or so when I first stumbled across your screen, during the darkest times and you have very much been a guiding light. My family would not be where we are now with out the love and support of so so so so many people, and you in a real way helped turn a horror story into a fairy tale. Thank you for sharing yourself so genuinely and generously with me.
Congratulations and huzaaaa!!!

Thank you too Danica and Av, and Jupiter and Steve, and Arena and Scales and Lance and James you all are wonderful people and I appreciate all the words you have shared with me.

Jim you had said last year when we were first looking at this years SSR that about 6 months after my bday Unusual blessings.....I laughed and said I couldn't imagine what that could be because Im the type of girl who thinks shes won the lottery if I find a feather on my hikin....I never ever would have dreamed that my beautiful vaby girl would be honored by the President. You have no idea how proud my father is of me....he is just bursting...

I told him that this is all because he got laid. If he hadnt gotten laid none of this would have happened. He laughed.

I have been so so so busy with things ever since that cat showed up. But it has been just wonderful.

I have in the past been just using the automated " lunar return" chart from astro.com but I always seem to get very different calculations from the ones Jim shows.
So for example astro said my demi lunar return started on the 18th and produced a chart. Yet yesterday when I ran a daily transit the moon was actually in the correct degree.
I think that I am going to use the empheris from now one to find the true date/time of my returns instead of the generated one.
I ran your demi-lunar at astro.com and got a chart for June 18, 2020 at 10:21:17 PM relocated to Scottsville, NY.
I have your birth data as in the first post in this thread. Are you still in Scottsville? Doesn't matter except for the Ascendant.
I have your natal moon at Scorpio 7°44' 20" Is that the same as the daily transit you ran? What's the "correct degree" you were using?
Are you sure you've got astro.com set up right? Campanus houses, Fagan/Bradley ayamansa? Last I heard you were researching relocation for your birthday. Did you leave it set up to look at your charts in Nova Scotia or something?

Im in Mendon Center NY now.

That was the same data/chart I got.

Ill go and look at my settings and see if sonething is amiss.

It just seemed odd that when I produced a daily transit/natal on friday afternoon it had the moon at 7 degree Taurus.

It only does transits for midnight UT. So you're getting a chart for either 7 PM EST or 8 PM EDT the day before. If you ran a chart for June 19, 2020, you'd be getting transits for 8 PM EDT the 18th. There's no changing the time.

You could maybe get a chart for a different timezone by relocating the chart, but that's a lot of fussing around and raises the chance of confusion enormously. Transits other than the Moon just don't move enough during a day to bother.

If you do want to bother, look at the PDF Additional Tables for the chart, (link at left above the chart) it gives you the speed of each planet (both natally and in transit) so you can interpolate just like if you're using an ephemeris.

This is awesome! Quite an achievement for you and her.

For those interested in the astrology of this prediction (from, really, just a few seconds glance at the new solar return in February), here are Veronica's SQ and PSSR Moon aspects for today. (I'm not sure when the graduation was but it seems you're still feeling it today, so I'll do these for right now.

20°15' Sag - SQ Moon
20°18' Sag - r Venus
21°20' Sag - PSSR Moon
22°29' Sag - SSR Jupiter

This seems to be the Venus event (since Moon-Jupiter isn't quite in orb, but Moon-Venus is quite exact). So, over the next couple of months, you still have Moon-Jupiter coming - August being the "six months after your birthday" I estimated from seeing your SSR Moon at 15°59' Sagittarius and knowing it would take 6° (about 6 months) to get to the Jupiter.

Lol.....I did kinda want to get lost in these beautiful NY woods.
Thank you for always be right on top of the all the math and stuff. Its very grounding for me and most importantly absolutely magical how that precision dances and weaves into reality.

On Friday at 9am, Sabrina, Orion, my dad, my sister, Sabrinas boyfriend and myself went to her school in Scottsville for a video and picture shoot of her walking the stage and recieving her awards.
No one knew about the 3 other awards and we were all so hyped up that we didnt closely look at them.
I was at work by 9:45 and home by 2:15 which is when I looked in her "goodie bag" and saw what was there. She also got an outstanding award from the state assembly. They are all elegant and beautiful documents really.

I am and have been feeling like Im glowing from within at the beauty and wonder of all that is...
Which is so at odds with what seems to be everybody elses expierence on 2020.
But thats my astrology and thats theirs.

I am so looking forward to this summer!!

I have my new lunar return tomorrow.

Under the last months return I expierenced some highly unusual events manifest in my life. All of them, when I was in the moment, carried me away in a rush of excitement and happiness and felt very much like secret blessings only for me to truely enjoy as only I can. Simple things really, but rare

.....on a hike I found the beautiful white feathers of some very large bird, too many of them though and they left a trail of destruction for some creature. But also a trail of creation for some creature who wasnt hungry anymore. It was a profound reminder of the wheel of life. I also had a fox die, literally at my backdoor. The most beautiful creature. Of course I cry for things like that.

I also had the good luck of representing myself in court for the tickets and handcuffing experience I had right before lockdown. I won. Now my license and registration is not marred in anyway and I can drive without worry of being pulled over and all that drama.

Ive actually loved the whole quarentine. I think its great. I mean....I dont think its great at all that we now have another really ugly virus hurting us...and it is....but I think its great that consumerism capitalism materalism and socialism are all going through a massive overhaul. So Im extremely optimistic about the future that is being born with these labor pains.

I have been exploring my creative side and making unique pieces of art that I like and like doing as well as rereading classical folklore/mythology of my ancestors and binge watching Marvel Universe movies of all sorts of modern heroes.

This new lunar is my last month of vacation. I didnt go anywhere exploring like I like to in the summer last month because of my license issue. Now that its ok I plan on looking for some old growth areas to explore, maybe ride my bike now that I have a helmet....

My kids will probably be wanting to move out soon. Thats what normally happens.

so with that in mind I hope to use the currents this month to finish up a lot of trivial mundane household activities and prepare for the upcoming fall back to work. If Im lucky I will be able to line up a nice part time afternoon shift so that when the kids move Ill still be able to pay rent ect until I locate a new place for me. I will no longer get child support when they move and have always tried to get by without it and use it exclusively for the kids clothes food ect.
When they are ready to move, then, I will find something for myself. Till then we will stay here. No sence bouncing around from place to place, I dont think that's very healthy. So Im not in a panic or rush about anything and have had an insane lack of any type of crazy drama.

Its strange.

Excellent observation V. And yes, it is going to be most interesting to see what is going to be "born with these labor pains" of massive Pluto Transformations for many systems. I love your analogy here with your above words. :)

:) Indeed! A lot of "strange" going on with most lives. When I venture outside my immediate environment I walk into zones of all kinds of "strange" for the first time in my life. Strange = Pluto, IMO. And I see a field of strange Pluto symbolism manifesting everywhere when t. Pluto first entered partile cnj 0 Cap in the the SZ in our lives and to be continued; also, Solar Arc Pluto partile cnj Boyd's Asc for the first time in the history of our Country. We have no choice but to adapt the best we can to these Pluto Transformations.

Thanks for the feedback Steve.

Ill tell ya though Steve,
After I wrote that I hadnt had any crazy drama.....and I thought it strange....

I realized that I actually *did* have a lot of crazy drama that went on. It just didnt revolve around human beings and my interactions with them like in the past.

I mean really, the fox who lived next to my home died in some mysterious way, some mystery white bird met his demise by an unknown assassin, and the other events .....are all dramatic and pushed and pulled on my heart and mind. Just like I used to be pushed n pulled by people to get entangled with their lives by some crazy dramatic situation that needs immediate action/reaction.

The strangeness in the world, my world at least, seems to still be there, and will always be there, its expression is a different form of the same thing.

For me at least, I have felt a strong drive to increase my flexibilty, and ability to bend and create more space in tight spots so to speak and to let go of things/attitudes/perceptions/beliefs that are ridgid and controling and restricting my personal ability to survive and adapt in a constantly changing world.

Though I want to change the world and make it the best it can be, and right wrongs and help others help themselves and solve the problems and all that....

I really really now feel that the very best way I can live and contribute is to take control of my own personal affairs as best I can and follow my own bliss and be me and just be in love with this beautiful life I have been born to and let others focus on thier own personal lives as well and let them seek answers and self reflection and connection in thier own way.

Fox - rabies, distemper, measles (yes, really.) heartworm, all the round and hook worms, and on and on and on.

Bird - bird flu, samonella (clean your feeders!) West Nile virus, Newcastle disease, and on and on and on.

I understand exactly where you are coming from V. I made it my main objective in my life early on to work hard for my independent living without all the knee-jerk reactions other people may put on you with their dramatics. But, I could't expect less being born with a partile Sun-Uranus 90. This aspect allowed me to understand its operations for me creating my own space.

Very wise V, you have always impressed me with your capacity to find inner peace within yourself.
The wise person searches for that which mirrors their highest spirit. The horoscope is a "magic mirror" in which we see images of our true selves. Jacobson, "The Language of Uranian Astrology."

Exactly

Its all normal and natural

For me
In the moment
As someone who has always gathered up and collected the remains of dead things and felt a connection to that creatures indiviual beauty.......and felt blessed to have come across evidence of thier life....
I was sad and didnt want to gather feathers anymore.
