Go the Dark Moon! La Luna is wane-wane-wane until she renews herself in early Taurus and trine – freak not – PLUTO with the New Moon on Saturday….Friday night if you in L.A. But before this super-sensual-re-potted fresh flowering earthy N.M in bucolic old Cow Taurus DO the Dark Moon properly.
You know when the Moon IS a Harsh Mistress? When you don’t obey self-nurturing dictates & attempt to thrash yourself/your genius out indefinitely via stimulants/bullshit/denial…Yah that goes fine for one-maybe-two nights of genuine inspiration. Your lit-up mind over narcoleptic matter. But ignore the Moon and you crash in a heap of fitful, melancholy naff sloth for at LEAST a day. The point of the Dark Moon is that anything rejuvenatory that you do now, any rest, any therapy etc etc is several times as powerful.
And then it is the New Moon onward that you push, strive & thrive. Fighting the Dark Moon is always counter-productive but this one is slightly complicated by Mars into Aries mid-week. So there are three days with the accelerator revving – no fuel kinda thing. Channel the spaz, detour the Mars energy into planning, intensifying the above-mentioned Dark Moon rejuvenation or distinct Mars activity; fighting/work-outs/resolving disputes. But TRY to put off anything of huge emo importance until after the New Moon on the 25th.

Trust me, I will get to the point, just give me a rave point for a moment first.
In my attempt to deflect arising pain from separation (it will be 2 years on Mother’s Day) – somehow I’m still only now letting the awareness of what a cold selfish ass he is). I’ve really built amazingly strong defences ie. I could tell a story about how he would dump me at the hospital door with meninigitis/ choleysititus/ labour!! and growl about it (these episodes were over many years); but I was so detached, I separated the emotion from myself. Now working with an amazing therapist who has helped me get in touch, so I am not split from emotions. Side affect is that I am sometimes paralysised with the emotion from say 10 years ago. getting better with dealing and know I will be in such a better place soon. However, actually it is still a battle to relearn to stay with the shitty emotion and not seek oblivion in Neptunian things – alchohol, television, valium etc. Easter is always hard for me but particularly as my mother idolises ex and he drives her around as she pretends she is incapable but is so not. However on a positive dark moonie note – today went to gym; then to Bunnings and purchased a LAWNMOWER – never in my life – we always had the mower man. My land is around 34 perches – not sure exactly but large and rough . Originally, as acouple, we planned to renovate and landscape , but he ran off with the his touch footy girls, not long after we moved in. Anyway back to today – almost can’t believe this but managed to get bargain and best ever advice from most attentive Bunnings man – felt realy girly but he treated me so fine (it was one of those moments – crowded warehouse type store – on my own – no fuging idea – could have so easily scurried away, but he was great, totally gave me all the instructions – and I listened). . Came home did all he said with oil, fuel etc and mowed my Fuqing lawn – without a hitch – felt so satisfying). Learnt a BIG lesson today and felt so great. I remember throughout our marriage we needed a mower man as hb got “hives” and itchiness from mowing and complained so much. It was invigorating and satisfying in a dirty kind of way. My son and I are planning a vegie garden next – he’s 8 and already researching it!! Loving Pluto in Cap and the dark moon for cleaning up garden. He is a Virgo asc and I have Taurus Jup in 3rd. And our charts are reversed: i have fish rising with leo sun – he virgo asc with leo sun. Both have cancer mars yet he has mars and venus conj his sun whereas I am not so lucky. Soz everyone I can rave about domestic personal stuff. someone else’s turn!!

Well done FF, it’s wonderful when you face a fear and it works out!
I used to design gardens for a living. Got so bored and frustrated by peeps who wanted external decoration, but none of the mess or dirty hands. Go get your hands dirty – it’s very therapeutic. I’ve been digging my way through the venus retro stress – literally. Have turned a bramble and nettle patch into a big veg bed, and am about to plant out seedlings I have grown. 8 year olds are absolutely brill at gardening – it should go very well for you.

Hardware store guys can be SO hot and druidic.
-
so the low prices are just the beginning..
-
-
when one finally, truly discovers that chicky babes have been sold a big fat lie and that really women need a man like a fish needs a bicycle, it’s the most wonderful thing.
by all mean have the man you want but realise you don’t actually need him, LOL!! very liberating and…..
so much better that way, and they stuff you around a good deal less if they haven’t managed to convince you that they are indispensible, ho ho.

Happiness is a freshly cut lawn. Used to love standing back and admiring the result. Wait til you get into lopping, feline, and you can start to sculpt your lilly-pillies. You could trim a hedge to look like Hugh Jackman.
Paralysis isn’t a bad thing. I had some grief catatonia the other week, but I don’t fight it because it’s a way of honouring what’s important. It’s only if it becomes permanent that you need worry.

I’m learning Uber – after total pain grief days of crying and staying with the pain (i.e. no busy-ness or neptunian substances) felt renewed and stronger. Sis commented that I was looking great a day after all this wallow. Doing the Saturn in Virgo transit in my 7th house – Mystic advised to get the settlement OVER – am now working with my lawyer on all the deets and am really a details girl – but some stuff – “how much rent did you pay in 1991?! – I mean who can remember stuff like that… yet on I am plodding Saturn-like. Apart from distractions of this site – I can’t resist it -and gym/garden to relieve angst, can see end in sight. My hedge would more likely be that Peter character in Spooks – Rupert someone or other with typical upperclass British hyphenated name. To die for looks.
-
Yah, Rupert ThingamyUppercrust-Hottie would make a gorgeous hedge.
Mystic is right. Saturn efforts/slog/officious paperwork is ultimately worth it.
-
*sigh*
Rupert ThingamyUppercrust-Hottie would make a delicious anything… -
My hedge ssooo needs a trim – now you’ve really got me thinking… the Rupert ThingamyUppercrust-Hottie hedge or what about the Todd SampsonoohlahlahYumpschieBumpshchie hedge? What d’ya reckon?
-
Ooh, got it wrong – Rupert plays Adam (as in son of God!! – mistaken by moi for Peter – founder of first Christian church – Catholic I believe). i’m losing my mercury memory!! Anyway back to spooks – si on now.
-
Hehe. I love this. Australians falling for the product of the English class system
But, dear Rupert is Penry-Jones – a very WELSH name. Not much love of the English class system there either. He is soooo cute tho
FF you must be watching an older series. He’s not in the recent ones, mores the pity.

WOW. I’m looking forward to this. Have planned to spend the week finalising last minute details of trip and getting work crap sorted before I go. Keeping the week free so I can concentrate on just a couple of things I like doing – gettting all the boring stuff finished today. Intend to swim every day to contain energy. Have massage booked for birthday.
Excited about trip, but everything is happening this week. And rebound from venus retro – feeling so ready for R&R with a new me ready to emerge. Should be one hellava ride!
-
“Channel the spaz”… hee hee. Mystic you are truly one of kind.
-
So would a Dark Moon be a good time to give up coffee/sugar etc?
-
Dark Moon good time to give up ANYTHING. You let go with the waning Moon and ‘increase’ as she waxes
-
Can I give up my family in a Dark Moon?
I spent the one day off that I had this week with my Piscean elder brother, who spent the whole time yelling at me because he wasn’t with anybody and nobody _ever_ listens to him or accomedates him in _any_ way (no true, btw… he just wasn’t getting his way).
Then I went shopping with my mother as I indicated that I wanted to spruce myself up and feel a little more empowered… which she took as an opportunity to tell me a breast reduction so that the clothes I was trying on would fit me better. And when I said ‘No mum… I like my boobs just as they are. I will just not buy ill-fitting t-shirts..’ she would let it go and proceed to push the point all the way home.
She also stated that she was worried about my Aqua brither because he was too amiable (I beleive she used the word internal) and proclaimed the entire family needed to go to anger management.
I am thinking that hiding in my house for the week might be good…-
Sorry… can’t spell. I hope you all can work that mess out.
-
Ven a go,
Sounds like you were overwhelmed with everyone else’s needs or them thinking what you needed.
One thing I love about Pisces (like my ex beau) I must say, is that they listen to what everyone has to say and then just do their own thing anyway.
All that wasted breath by everyone. Somehow they know that in the end it doesn’t matter.
Go girl and keep your boobs if you wish.

*salutes*
I truly intend to

Ooooh, argh, am moving for the second time in 4 months. The owners of my rented home being credit-crunched, & need their house back. I am PMT-ing off the planet, as I do at the Dark Moon. Not happy.
-
:::passing vanilla latte and tissues to TLE::: big HUG honey, moving is bleugh!
-
Maybe you’ll find somewhere that is an even better fit for your stuff and yourself,TLE, ala pegasus style. May not be easy to see when mired in PMT territory, but wishes are flowing for something unexpectedly beautiful to zing your way.
-
Thanks for the love TA & LL! It’s worse than I made out – I’m actually moving tomorrow, to a place that costs $45 a week more, and is nowhere NEAR as nice as my current abode. Sydney Real Estate…forget tears before bedtime, there were tears before breakfast today.
My Leo darling & I have vowed to Make The Best of It & buy in a year…providing we are not GFC’d .

I’ve had my own spazzy aqua home since um Easter Saturday. Previous to this she was home on my request to help slay some of the garden with me. It’s been like surfing a dark moonlit wave. Weird shit happening, but we’re still just moving with it. Some self generated, and external budgetary fuq ups have seen us enjoying fiscally possible moments. Shared morning tea with my Aries Mum for her B’day…my scary taurean sister appeared hours earlier than expected (she’s scary because she is, well herself with laser eyes and energy sucking aura et al, not because she is Taurean).
Had the strange experience the other night when we started walking in the gloaming and ended up walking in rural starlight/black…My glasses are for distance, so 10 feet in front of me I could sort of see the path, but not immediately below my feet. So it was a bit of an experiment in trust as with each foot fall was I putting my feet on shadow or patches of wet leaf litter ? Felt a little mystical and stirring. Cheap thrill too.
Have said no to my Virgo sister which is unlike me. However her last minute hopes for availability from others was also unlike her too. No hard feelings on either side. Went antique window shopping with Spazza instead. Saw many strange things. Sent pics to Sagg daughter’s phone, who deemed it all ‘creepy’. Succinct but apt.
Had two little girls try to freak me out in one antique store with tales of ghosts from the 1930’s and them setting up their phone to play a Celine Dion song. Found them personally more freaky, as they sort of reminded me of the girls in the Shining.
