The Steampunk Treehouse – More To Come

page0_2The Steampunk Treehouse

So i am thinking that there will be a LOT more of this sort of thing once Uranus gets into Aries next year. Yes, that’s right. Uranus is in Aries from next June. It backs into late Pisces for a bit and is then back: Inventive, pioneering & rad blasting forward. The ultimate D.I.Y. maverick vibe for sure. Alt.technology is v.Uranian & anything in Aries is speedy to the max.

    there is something very post apocalyptic about it…would be fun to have it in the middle of a forest…imagine suddenly finding this while walking around in the middle of no where…

    I do not often post…very rarely…but I read everyday…& now I need HELP from anyone that is willing to give it to me…
    In December I am going to have a talk with my partner of over 3 years (who is a pisces…I am a pisces too) about what is lacking in our relationship – there is a possibility it could end up in a breakup but I have a feeling it will be more a ‘give me what I need in a relationship or I’m going to end up leaving you’ kind of talk…of which he will.. most likely..tell me he will give it a go & tell me things I could improve on too…that or he will get very angry, which will prompt me to break up with him….
    I know the full moon is good for ending things…but I don’t necessarily want it to end just yet…So what I need help with is when in December is a good communication time? Or is this December a terrible communication time in general & should I wait till February? (As that will be the next time I will be able to talk to him properly about this)
    PLEASE HELP!

      hi white mallow,
      sorry about your dilemma.
      I thought the waning moon, as in from full to new, is the best time to wind stuff up. Also, if you are a subscriber, then mystic will post a dec scheduler at some stage that provides general good/less good days to start a fight.
      I’m sure others will advise things to avoid, crappy mars aspects would seem to be an obvious one, or days when the moon is amping up lets be oblique planets like neptune, and maybe look for good mercury aspects?

      maybe do it before Xmas. There’s another Merc Retro coming up on Dec 26. And like shell said – if you’re a subscriber, mystic will probably post a Dec scheduler – very handy andy.

    Like you, I read every day but hardly ever contribute – I did yesterday tho, and no-one jumped down my throat or anything! Some advice – do not, repeat DO NOT ever try to “sit down and have a talk about what’s missing” from a relationship. Ever. If you want to make the most of a good communication phase then do so, but not like this. Way too confronting, especially for a Pisces! If you have an urge for a relationship spring-clean, ask your partner, whilst massaging his feet ever so sweetly, if there’s anything about you that he would change if he could. Then swap. Now THAT would start some meaningful communication!

      Speaking as a Piscean male, I’d find that offensive. Just because we live in our own little worlds doesn’t mean we don’t see through blatant manipulation.

      A Piscean appreciates honesty and openness, even if they have trouble accepting it into their reality at first. Neutral ground, peaceful surroundings and a relaxed time (free as possible of work and life stresses that could exacerbate the issues) where neither of you have scheduled stuff coming up to interrupt things is best for communicating without blowing up.

      Also care with phrasing is important. We read a lot into everything, so any passive-aggressiveness or accusation is a surefire way to ramp up the tension. Keep it cool, keep it calm, keep it non-combatative and what results can surprise you.

      It’s always worked for me…

        Piscean muso: “relaxed time” etc, as you say, is exactly what I had in mind – no manipulation please! This isn’t a game. But if people want to enjoy their time together, then they should enjoy their time together. I was talking about sharing relaxed vibes, trust, give-and-take and non-threatening ways to tackle sensitive issues. I also think that to open the conversation with an invitation like that is generous in the extreme! A man would be a fool to pass it up. As you said yourself, take care not to read too much into things ;)

      oh, you are a very wise virgo – i was tinking talk to him in the bath but the feet idea and the suggested way of broaching the topic, very spot on. And in my experience, men really hate ultimatums (ultimata?)…

      you should post more often, vttm!

    Steampunk tree very cool visually. Practical side of me would want good insulation so as to not parboil within its metal heart.

    White mallow I agree with Virgo to the maxx ..although I see this through leonine eyes…my caution would be that setting stage for a conversation sometimes ensures that a drama/s plays out.

    Perversely I’ve found that sometimes it is less likely to blow up in your face if the things that concern you are shared at a time where there is ease between you. Also it sounds as though there are things going on in your relationship that are good, and worthy of keeping or else you may not of made it to 3 years…sometimes when bringing up what you’d like to change, due recognition of what does work helps keep things balanced…

    The other thing I’d suggest is that you’ve been mulling over this for a while, so none of this is new to you, however for your partner it probably will be…at least as framed from your viewpoint. Perhaps even if this is approached at the best possible moment in your lives together, he may still need time to process what you’ve said…so maybe at a time where it maybe a bit heated, because you’re vocalising change…and most people at the start till they see how things may work better, really resist change as a defense move. Maybe if it does get heated, suggest a time out.

    Maybe this could give you both some middle ground rather than it be do I stay or do I go now?

    This is waaaayyyy cool, after the nuclear holocaust we can prettify the deserts with these above ground bedrooms and keep the rest of the house underneath the ground to keep cool!
    If lived in Cooper Pedy I would love this and it could double as an tv antenna or something too. Desert skies are the most beautiful for sheer concentration of stars, on mine the roof would be able to roll back to see the night’s constellations.

    Is it my Aries rising responding?

    I am ALL OVER this steampunk business! Lovelovelove. Definitely appeals to my diy ethic, and have been dressing as such as of late w/ flight goggles and various other fun things. If the world goes steampunk I will be a happy Lesly.

    Very wise words from all who have posted White mallow. Interesting perspective from piscean male. Don’t think I have met one. Curiously enough, I was thinking how to broach a touchy subject with a piscean female friend who is quite fragile healthwise, but I do feel I need to say my piece at some point. I agree with LL and think her points are very salient about timing and processing. I have a rich inner world which is not at all like my partner and often forget he has never heard this stuff before that i have journalled, analysed, experienced etc etc
    Too true to remember the commonality of a relationship, even when the differences seem so, well, different.

      I think it might be the taurus speaking ‘cos my next to first instinct(taurus rising) was to use it as a climbing frame for creepers…maybe you could have an steampunk orchard where some of the trees have had nature take them over and others just stand tall in their metalness.

    thank you all so much!
    Yes, timing is why I am waiting until December…I am in the middle of exams right now…& subscribing is on my list of things to look at over holidays…

    & I do have to say as much as pisces can get away with blatantly manipulating others, it rarely works on us, it has to be subtle..& even then we’re usually aware of it & just playing along… I plan on being extra lovely for at least a week before I speak to him about it (after school finishes)
    My partner is french…& 10 years older than me…& I can tell he knows something is going on, so its not going to be a surprise & I have brought up most of these issues before, with no result, thus the ultimatum vibe…& phrasing yes! very important….which is best to figure out before you start the conversation I feel, or you can end up saying things in a way you don’t mean…(I have to be extra careful because my throat chakra is quite blocked) & thank you for reminding me to bring up the good parts of the relationship..not just the bad!

    I know he may react badly at first (in fact its guaranteed – he’s french after all) & I need to keep cool & calm but the irony is, this is part of the problem – I am 10 years younger & find myself having to be the mature, calm, rational one…sigh…I’ll let you know how it all turns out…
    Thank you very much!!

      Europeans in general tend to be a lot less ‘blunt’ in the way they approach conversations, in my experience (compared with Australians). They really go very gently, round about and then sideways, often not really stating what it really is about. So, what i’m trying to say is, err on the side of being less direct rather than too direct. And best of luck.

      (yes, there may be european nationalities that don’t fit this stereotype but i’m putting my money on the french piscean being in the circumspect category)

        Uh UH, my ‘unvarnished’ truth as David said of Sag, was far too direct for him.
        I USED to be an ultimatum person, flinging them around every where, but time
        has tempered me re men.
        Fishy, so right, darling :-)

      Mallow, i had a French fiance (but Aries) for 5 years & week before due to marry, i bailed out, he was too
      irrational & emotional for this Sagg.
      Hope it goes well for you, sounds hard but YOU first, at this stage of your life, it’s what YOU
      want as he’s been on the Planet longer, if you understand my point.

    Good God I loved Europe but no wonder I couldn’t wait to get home to California.

    This must explain as well why in Italy the driver on a cell phone was weaving, neary killing us… “round about and then sideways” lol

    I dread Uranus in Aries ’cause that’s my sixth house. Yeah, like I so need to lose my job once that comes steamrolling through…but how would I avoid that with Uranus there? Right.

    Also I looked at my solar return chart for 2011 and I have a freaking STELLIUM in Aries in 6th that year.
