Cannot find artist for this pic – if anyone knows, do tell!
But it makes me think of that old therapy (?) phrase – the elephant in the living room – and you know how it refers to a blazingly obvious reality that nobody wants to talk about. I think it’s often used re alcoholism but politicians like to fling it at a variety of issues.
But this pic makes me think of the horse in the living room – would it be the presence of something majestic and graceful, that nobody wants to talk about for some reason?
And I have the Moon in Capricorn – I’m sure – to thank for this – i just did something SO brazenly sensible that I am in awe of myself. I paid this big 8th house bill when i could have postponed it and had more pentacles for Saturnalia goodies. So now i am SO grokking the maturity, the un-due diligence & all…
There may well be peeps having to eat off paper plates this xmas but by Jove, the firemen of my nation will have proper boots to wear & nurses working night shift on N.Y.E will get their loading pay. And I will not have heart palpitations opening any note from the government. THIS, ladies & gents, is the Tao of Capricorn and Cancerians.
Next week’s Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius is more the majestic grace end of the spectrum. Something to restore your faith in magical realism & especially fortunate for Sagittarians, Aquarians, Librans and Pisceans.

Extremely cool pic Mystic!
-
And I thank you from the bottom of my fire boots. Very very seriously. NSW fire season always comes before SA’s and I’m feeling the heat already as a Lewy this year – got a lot of people to look out for in the coming months – and boots you can rely on mean a damn lot! So ta. x

But..but..I LIKE the maturity!
…Says the girl writing an essay at 4am on the day it’s due. -
Aw the horse looks just like my horse Ms M!
Maturity is seriously cool!!
-
I think the image comes from the series Twin Peaks, directed by David Lynch.
-
Yeah I think you’re right and it’s all lynchy and death riding the pale
horse-esque.I like Mystic’s ascribing positive attributes to the imagery though…viva la brazen sensible action.
-
Yes, it is from Twin Peaks – it’s from Laura Palmer’s loungeroom.
-
oh twin peaks! i had a mad crush on special agent dale cooper who liked his coffee “as black as the sky on a moonless night”. totally want to watch TP now….
-
Twin Peaks was a brilliant. I had a crush on Kyle MacLachlan too. I find him a bit creepy now, maybe it’s because of his character in Desperate Housewives.
-
or when he was on SATC and couldnt get it up?? lol…
-
-
Yep. That’s what I remembered too. Laura was mucho stoned.

This is kind of off topic, but perhaps I can stretch it to acknowledging the intuitive, or something. i could probably also stretch it to eg. of moon in pisces trine north node but anyway. cool story for an appropriate audience.
A while ago I decided i needed to stop working from home (thanks saturn and pluto), and thus that i would try to manifest myself an office space just down the road, whilst also accepting that i may need to accept a less preferred option of a more ‘official’ but easier to obtain space a tad (public transport) further afield as a temporary measure. and on wed i decided on such a space.this morning I had a very detailed dream that focused on a conversation between myself and another person I am acquainted with. She offered me some space out the back of her shop, which I had previously asked about, but which at the time was not available. I explained that I had already verbally committed to space elsewhere, but asked if i could come and look and she said yes and we started to discuss times and she could only do next weekend, and i woke thinking that won’t work it’s christmas and I won’t be here. the dream was very detailed and very focused on that thing and completely reflective of the reality. i thought it was prophetic, but it didn’t ‘wow’ me out the way prophecy can do. and i put it out of my mind.
this evening when i went to the pub where i would be most likely to see her i briefly remembered it, but thought, no i won’t see nat there, and forgot. and then saw her there, and as walking past her and a group of her friends i kind of know i blurted out, i had a dream about you this morning, and she replied, I’ve got some office space for you, and i said, that’s what my dream was about!!!
so now, tomorrow, unlike my dream, i am going to look at her space, which offers me some things the other one doesn’t (walking to work), but also lacks some things the other one does (compatible industry people to learn off). its a bit weird because the dream was so detailed up to that point, but didn’t allow me the option to consider the alternatives.
cue theme from the twilight zone.-
wow, that’s awesome.
I love dreams like that. I had one the other night.-
did your dream come true?
-
it’s too early to tell. I have written it down and shall wait and see. Sometimes i dream months in advance.
Good luck with finding the perfect space!
-
well i hope it does (i’m assuming it was a good dream of course…)
-
well it was an intriguing dream. I was in a restaurant/cafe eating alone and for some reason had to get up and i walked past a man eating and reading a book. I accidently knocked the book over, then i looked over and saw a friend of mine eating with another friend on the other side of the room (this friend invited me to a picnic in January 2010 recently).
Then the dream cuts straight to the end and i see 2 guys standing and chatting away in the cafe and one of them was the guy who’s book i knocked over. He wasn’t really my type but seemed extremely confident and was a little intimidating. I don’t know how i knew his name but i found the courage to walk up to him and i say “So (insert name here) what book were you reading anyway?”. He looked at me with such intensity like he was peering into my soul. It was a look of deep attraction/fascination and all of a sudden i found him very attractive. His face was very clear and vivid then i woke up, face still in my mind and wanting to right it all down. So, i’m curious to see if the name has any significance or if i meet this guy at the picnic. -
wow! remembering faces is good. i rarely am able to do that. were you able to draw him? or does that make it too real?

Wow Shell… That dream is intense!
I much prefer it when the dream immediately recognised as relevant.
I actually logged on today to share this dream that i had last night… cos I have no idea what it might mean/represent.
I dream that I got out of bed and walked around, but it was like walking through jelly instead of air. It was really, really, really hard to move. I had to shut my bedroom door and it took me ages to croos the 3-4 steps to the door. I felt like I was going to pass out/was fuzzy… like I was just near the edge of consicousness, you know?
The next door neighbours cat shot in through the door and although I was concerned as to how the cat got into my house (its always wants to adopted me) and I just could not physically go and check. I sat on the edge of my bed started removing layer of undergarments (cos they were restricting my breathing. Got back into bed (exhausted) and discovered the cat has curled up near my tummy and goes to kneed me to get comfortable. I want the warmth… but don’t want the claws and leap away and wake up… I the same position, but with no cat… and then realising it must have been a dream. -
the even bizarrer update is that i just went to see the space, and found out that after i left last night, she had run into the person who was moving out of the space, to find they are no longer sure about moving out – and won’t know for another week or so. which actually makes the end of my dream more correct, and also puts the whole office space situation kind of exactly how i was expecting it to play out when i was initially doing my ‘manifest space’ thing.
The on my way home a shop chick spotted me the $3 i was short on the watermelon I was buying, and then i ran into someone who was able to take it off me and drive it to the party i was taking it to – saving me from having to carry it the k or so home and then ride it back over to the party. I am so on a roll today.
No fantastic insight to offer on your dream though dancing venus girl, though it reminds me of a brisbane summer day – though you’re in melly aren’t you?
umm… something in your reality is restricting your freedom, making you feel like you can’t do the things you want to do, and some affection is being offered to you but you’re not sure you really want it??? I just made that up.
haven’t you been having ‘friend’ concerns?-
I do like when a day comes together in a way thats better than expected! So many people helping you out is just lovely, really!
I am in Melbourne, Shell… so it really wasn’t hot;)
I have to say I have been feeling ultra restricted at the moment… Since october I have trying to find my way back to doing things that I liek with people’s who’s company I enjoy. In the past 2 weeks I feel like i have really made some break throughs tho. I have been seeing bands I want to see, hosting the types of parties i want to go to… getting out of the ’stepford wives’ scene in to a more ‘domestic goddess’ type thing. have come to some conclusions about those friends that allow me to enjoy their company, yet know when to cut loose, you knw?
*shrug*
The dream was just unsettling cos I thought I was getting more free, you know?-
That’s awesome to hear that things have been on the up and up for you –
maybe then you could just file your dream under ‘handy reminder to not stray off the getting free path’ ?
I go through those phases too – like little rest moments on a park bench at the side of the ever onwards and forwards path. Sometimes those rest moments feel a bit sad/frustrating, other times they’re like friendly reminder of what you’ve come from and how it doesn’t all get better immediately, just kind of progresses along, and that sometimes you need to look back (or relapse) to appreciate it.
Sorry, I am so waffling of late…

Massive! I love when the universe shows you that you are so much part of it and can access information this way. Let us know if you end up with this office space or why you think you had this dream when the dust settles!
-
Oops that was for shell, but your dream Venus AGG reminded me of the end of The Art of Dreaming by Castenada when he learns about the ‘twin positions’ in dreaming where you fall asleep, then dream you are in bed, then fall asleep in the same position in bed in your dream. It’s meant to make the dream doubly intense. Except you woke up twice if I got it right? That cat was probably dream stalking you!
-
I woke up only the once… just at the end:)
What is this twin positions thingy?
-
What I understood was that you woke in your dream and walked about, then woke up again when the cat was digging in to you, only you REALLY woke up and there was no cat?
Twin positions is apparently a way of intensifying the dream, so waking or going to sleep in a dream and waking up in another dream is mean to make the dream more concrete – dreaming exercise really. -
Yeah. I was asleep, dreaming I was awake and walk around my room. I dreamt that cat was scratching, went to move and woke up. It was like the cat just disappeared… was really confused for a little while. Took me a few minutes to work out what was going on. Very lucid sort of dreaming….
I am stretching my dream legs?
-
-
-
I will do. I so reckon it’s going to happen, and in a way that will allow me to access the benefits of both spaces. hooray!

OH I see it now the elephant in my living room is my vertex.
-
I had so many elephants in the Living Room of my childhood home that there was no where to sit.
-
LOL sometimes you remind me of my sister the scorpion. She used to sit in the wardrobe.
-
we had a herd too.
-
-
Actually had a Saggo male in my living room today lol, they really are like stallions
Two Saggo’s having a B-Day bonk is performance art.-
It’s your birthing day? hope you have a wonderful day Pegasus – sounds like you got off (hehehe) to a good start x

hey mystic i would just like to commend you on your very cap worthiness in paying the monster bill. thats impressive. and i dont know if you know this you also saved yourself some pain as the tax dept now charges interest on all late payments. well done.
-
have had urgings to do the same (take care of tax & other paperwork) – it’s be a supercharged natal moon in cap tugging at my skirt. but illness has progressed from shingles to internal bleeding so i feel the responsible cap thing to do is to rest. or the current moment i find myself in which is to be vodka-and-pimmsing.
and why is it thast interest used to be an almost magical word when they taught us the wonders of compound interest on savings accounts in high school commerce classes, yet the only interest most of us see these days is the extra charges tacked on to our credit card statements?
-
-
sorry i assumed it was tax – 8th house – my apols if not !
-
Lol – yes tax IS totally 8th house – but ha ha as it could have been, I don’t know, a debt to my local brothel as i ran up an account there or fees to an alchemist. But no it was tax & it means paper plates for my xmas guests but i think of the firemen!
-
Paper plates rock – you can even compost them, and so reduce carbon footprint……..
I have 3 bill payments scheduled for xmas eve…… so 1 present per family member, but they be good one! And I AM saturn girl, and grokking my capricorn whatever…
-
-
-
i am psychic today ! if not imaginative lol ! you could always colour the paperplates in ? with food coloring paints ? an idea ! you saved yourself a lot of interest too mystic – perhaps the best capricornia reward there is !
-
Yes re getting big bills out of the way ASAP. you can have fun any old how, but SO MUCH less Stress – you may only have $120 in the bank til NYE but there’s no looming $$$$ to pay in january…right at the time you want to lounge around and zzzz / zen out on by the water
