Happy Solar Eclipse – Now Set Your Stance

Happy Solar Eclipse guys – as per the Daily Mystic email of this am – enough of the nervous breakdown catharsis crap already.

Time to man/woman up – Mars is about to be in Capricorn, squaring Uranus & conjoining Pluto, sextiling Neptune, Chiron & Saturn even. This is no country for slackers.

We can crack up later – like after Xmas, when Mars is in Aquarius and we want only to be left alone with some Space Dust, decent sound system & the I-Ching.

You savvy?   And how good is this energy???   i did my MMA training this morning – excellent thank you, like yoga for people with Mars-Pluto conjunctions -and the Scorpio doing the padwork was talking about his cage-fighting. He said that you have to get to the right zone of aggression – if you’re too feeble-minded, you’re obviously going to get taken down but if you’re too aggro, you lose your strategy, start flailing around or letting the crowd influence you and you lose control of the cage.

May we all keep control of our cage.  So how are you doing?  Up and at ‘em?

    • But I must confess, I HAD to re-read the daily mystic advice email after I had to go for a walk to cool down because of high-functioning idiocy. Managed to keep my cool, of course. No one, no one ruffles my feathers these days post-saturn inferno.

  1. “May we all keep control of our cage.”
    OMG I love this!! haha

    And yes, I am with you, there is a zen and a balance in all things. Everything we do in life, and every choice we make is an exercise in meditation in a way, or if it as looked at in a certain way. “The way you do something is the way you do everything.”

    I am feeling amazing and empowered. Set my intentions once again when the eclipse was exact, avoided drama today, being creative and productive and calm.

  2. This has been some crazy astro indeed. I lost my Scorpio father last week due to a massive heart attack and finally got a job offer today so I can leave my godawful job that has made me miserable for almost a year.

    Weird feelings…

  3. Ha! So funny. MMA is always on in our house. Gemhub does BJJ and I have taken up kickboxing.

    It’s given our relationship a little unexpected dose of wtf? Things we never talked about before together, stories and attitude shift about physicality generally.

    It’s funny how hard it is to change your concept from ‘don’t touch/be gentle’ to ‘hit HARDER’ is, it’s totally rewiring my brain. I love it!
    My teacher is like, “Go for it, get in the wring”, I am like whaaat?

    • I read that as your teacher saying “get in the rewiring,” and I was all wow, that’s deeeeeep maaaaannnn. LOL

      I’ve always thought that I need some kind of aggressive physical outlet (Mars in Aries in 12th). I have always hated team sports and was into rodeo (barrel racing) when I was younger, was a hula hoop gogo dancer for years. So I am drawn to things with a counting/repetitive factor.

      For awhile I was REALLY into Bikram; I liked that it was this hardcore physical and mental challenge and then paradoxically you are just being still amost the whole time. But eventually it turned out to be more harm than good (chronic electrolyte problems and weight gain from thunder thighs).

      But now I am thinking that boxing could be a great thing to get into because it’s full body, super mental and strategic, diffuses aggro energy. Spin class and drawn-out hippiedippie yoga just seem so boring and like a waste of time all of a sudden. Give me 20 minutes of highly effective pilates and the permission to beat someone’s ass instead.

      • Think you’d love it. My Gem is Mars in Pisces, 1st house, quiet but watch out. This kind of exercise is good for certain layers of the energy body too.

        And kickboxing/MMA is practical & efficient. I had the thought,
        “Tens of thousands of years of fights have produced this..”.
        Such streamlined physical economy of movement – it’s beautiful!

        I think Ishtar & the old love goddesses were particularly fond of the blood sports so the rise of the Divine Femme can include this kind of activity. ;-)

        • Hmmm, kataka is mad on Bikram and I have questioned its safety health wise. She makes sure she hits the electrolytes before and after but I have my doubts it’s enough. What are some of the symptoms of your electrolyte issue ?
          She is a small girl but you know what , her butt and thighs are growing a touch
          (hope she doesn’t read this )

          • I think I may have had a tendency toward these sort of problems before Bikram, but basically not retaining any water, feeling faint and dehydrated unless I constantly am drinking gatorade/pedialyte/coocnut water, low blood sugar and low blood pressure. And low pulse outside of the room.

      • for me personally, i find pilates & boxing/mma to be like the ultimate. For my mind too

        how did bikram give you thunder thighs? and the electrolyte probs? i love info like this, do tell – my friends who do yoga and adore it are divided over bikram

        • Before I did Bikram I did regular yoga for years, loved it but felt I had hit a plateau.

          I went to my first Bikram class and was hooked, you get such a body high afterwards! So I started going three times a week, and over the course of a few months was doing 3-6x/week consistently.

          Now the thing with Bikram is…you see like IMMEDIATE results after the first class. Something about the heat makes muscle (and all connective tissue I think…because my hair grows verrryy slow except for when I’m doing Bikram!) grow almost-immediately fast. So that + the mental/body high makes you initially fall in love.

          But when you keep the same sequence over and over certain places get strong, certain muscles get flexible, but there are a lot of groups that are left out. For example, the top of my butt was amazing but underneath it was getting all saggy and flat. I could bend backwards and almost touch the floor, but my hamstrings and hips were pretty jammed in some positions (I theorize that the bulking without stretching in these areas added to this). I am a small boned, stringbean Cameron-Diaz square shape type person with chicken legs naturally and for the first time ever I was not fitting into my skinny jeans not because I was fat or had a gut…but because my quads were bursting with muscle! I think that the whole “lock the knee” thing makes this muscle get disproportionately large.

          And basically since the whole series is done in a way that is not flowing and just standing there, there’s no way for the body to self-correct…if that makes sense…

          I have issues with blood pressure (it’s really low: last reading was 80s/50s) that may have to do with minerals and I noticed that no matter how much water I drank I was just pissing it out right away and was getting more dizzy and tired in every day life.

          So yeah…I think that saunas and the heat are great for you (in moderation) and I loved Bikram while I was doing it, but just not for me. I learned a lot during it though, as it is the only yoga where you HAVE to learn how to breathe right otherwise you don’t stand a chance in that room. :)

          • I was addicted to bikram for years. But I had a session where I think I had a heat stroke if sorts. I had hives and all sorts of achy pain after class. I haven’t gone back. The teachers are taught to push students through and don’t (IMHO) know enough to spot when someone should stop.

            • I agree. I’ve seen arrogant teachers scream at people and then later in the class someone passed out. Then of course they’re like “don’t push yourself, yoga is not a contest.” lol

              • EXACTLY! BTW – I am very low blood pressure too. Getting faint in class and learning how to breathe through it is great. But – having some 20 year old who took 6 weeks of training tell me to power through is not! lol. I never thought I’d turn from my Birkam addiction, but here I am.

  4. Ok so when exactly are we allowed to speak to people and have ‘dialogue’?
    Or am I following the astro advice too much to the letter?

    I’ve been waiting so freaking long till the solar eclipse to actually have dialogue with people and now my horoscopes for today say NOT to do dialogue today???WTF?!?!?!?

    I’m so sick of waiting, there’s so much to do and a lot of it includes actually talking to other people??!?!

  5. Hey it doesn’t meant don’t talk at all – it means like – MAJOR dialogue – and it’s not bad at all but is optimal from weekend,as mars is void – will try to make it more clear x

    • Hey thanks :)
      No worries, but isn’t it a little subjective as to what major dialogue is? I’m sorry I’m getting a little paranoid because I want to do this astro right….

      For example- if I need to speak to someone I haven’t spoken to for a long time and I call them and leave a message (i.e. OPEN the dialogue but not necessarily get into the deep and major stuff) does that count or is that a no-no as well????

      I’m a bit stressed about this lol…..

        • I don’t know if I can trust my instincts- there are so many voices at the moment (lol….should I admit that…) or at least so many impulses and I feel like it’s a choice between waiting even longer (when it has already been ages) for all these voices to sort themselves out and to become clear on my motives etc or to just make a move.

          I’m leaning towards the making a move option but then this huge amount of fear comes up.

          Good fear or bad fear, I don’t know.

  6. I have shed more than I know. Went to meeting this morning with corporate look.to present new website Spoke well and no whinging from team amazing.! No great praise either but who cares. I know its hot and so am I

  7. Loads of opportunities suddenly coming my way, and loads of good work to do, but I must admit I have to fight the urge to slug down a bottle of bubbly and just go to bed for a couple of days. (I won’t, of course!)

    The old brain is still all floaty, like I am a baby looking at a tree.

  8. well, just found out im going to fail spansih, it took a month for my book to come in, now that I think about it I never really recovered, so this whole time I have been behind as far as knowing what was going on, on top of how hard and fast paced a class it is, and this is the first time I dont at least know a majority of whats going on or am able to bank on my magical understanding of things, instead I didnt know what was going on, and it was a huge work load as well, i have never failed anything ever so I dont even know how this works,and I cant even process the fact I am going to fail, I really droped the ball on this one.
    aside from that I realized something kind of big, but im not sure ill be able to do anything about it anytime soon, but it could be a game changer

    • go to your teachers and show them your previous record of superior academic achievement, if you can give proof that your textbook was late and ask them to give you extra time to make up for it or have a regrade taking the issue that was beyond your control into account – does the school supply the books? Then it is on them to take responsibility for your ‘failings’

      Deal with it on a purely bureaucratic/rational level with them if you can and it might just work out. It is in their best interests to have students achieving so they may relent if you can rationalise with them and ask if there’s anything that can be done before the mark is set in stone forevermore.

      GOOD LUCK I know this must be a huge blow.

      • no I meant that was the first month, and now I am going to fail as the semester is about to end, its still my fault, its just the circumstances were stacked against me, cheif among them being out of the loop for a good month in the fastest paced class ever, wich put me in bad footing for what would have already been a tough class, I was merely trying to get by and survive, and now that didnt work, what was needed was a few weeks of superhuman effort but its too late for that and I thought I wouldnt need to resort to that, so ya, oh well, just have to worry about how that affects my grades and how you go about retaking a class/ dropping the class you expected to be moving up into, and I dont even know if this means I will lose my scholarships, so this is either a minor setback, a semester of atonement, or it could be entirely ruinous, I find out tomorrow

        • like the lack of a book was just the first month, its been months since and now the semester is about to end in a few weeks, and I barely realize I am going to fail right now , its a bit complicated why I thought I would get by, but I didnt even though I tried, and now I am facing, well, failure, I dont know how I wasnt paying attention to grades, again, I was betting on something that didnt pan out(doing decent on a test), so, well see how this goes, I dont even want to think about the worst case scenario, or having to resort to my back of the cabinet back up plans as far as big life going to shit moments, oy

          • Jupiter honey, it’s your Jupiter that tripped you up good to learn the lessons of Jove early on although tough at the time. Your Jupiter mercury combo which gives you oratory skill in your first language has influenced your decision re how to manage the first setback and maybe a dash of Neptune denial for garnish? Try to talk it through – what do you have to lose?

              • don’t hand them their right of refusal on a platter by diminishing the effect of the first month without a book with claims of it being your fault for not being able to catch up after starting on the back foot. If there’s a silence let them fill in the gaps. Silence is golden and the effect of not having that book was clearly exponentially devastating.

                • totally disagree and totally agree with Millie. There’s copies of textbooks in short-loan in uni libraries so Dave is right – blaming it on that is going to look very lame. Best to take responsibility and they are more likely to break any rules to let him keep his scholarship if he does.
                  Honesty about reasons for failure IS indeed highly valued in academia, Dave, so I would stick with that tack.

                • @Fi – I think you’ve misunderstood. There was never a suggestion of dishonesty about reasons for failure, or blaming the enitre situation on the book (although it does appear to have had an exponential effect), which I feel your response implies, my point was that there is a point when a person can take responsibility for events that are out of their control which can put them at a disadvantage. False confessions and subsequent imprisonment for crimes not committed are an extreme example of this kind of behaviour and are remarkably common. Of course take responsibility for your own mistakes – but not those of others was the point.

                  I realise you work for a tertiary institution but what you’re saying is a generalisation based on your own experience and isn’t the case across the board. I’ve also been in the situation David has experienced with a textbook not arriving, it was unavailable from Uni Books because it was sold out and I had to buy it on the internet from overseas instead, there were no copies in the library because we were expected to purchase the book and it was a specific edition we needed for a niche subject. I had no options – spent two weeks trawling bookshops trying to find it, it was absurd and was on the back foot from the start – did the entire first assignment without access to the textbook. My marks for later work redeemed me but the first assignment was personally disappointing and it certainly wasn’t my ‘very lame’ fault.

                  • imposs to reply in tiny column! Spanshtextbks less likely to be
                    “niche”
                    but crappy that no copies
                    in library
                    in your case, where you’d have had reason to ask them to take that into account.happily dave seems sorted now anyway!

              • I too have a habit of taking responsibility for my failings and it sometimes means lesser mortals take advantage because its more convenient for them to go along with you. I learned the hard way about working the magic of silence – and it works best in mercury retro. Less is more.

                • true – but the best and simplest method is to take responsibility, explain that you’ve learnt your lesson and ask to be able to re-submit/re-sit. This demonstrates a professionalism and maturity which is valued ;)

                  • Learning a language is a process. David knows where he is in that process. Resitting won’t help him learn the language faster. You can’t cram a language. But owning the process of learning and asking for advice and options will be respected.

                    • Yes, clearly taking responsibility for oneself is paramount and David appears to have that under control but allowing the powers that be pause to provide the possible choices/outcomes rather than offering himself up and taking responsibility for the things that he isn’t responsible for and were out of his control from the outset was the point I was attempting to convey to him. I was set to fail the language I studied at David’s age, crammed and excelled – sometimes it’s just that extra little bit of time that allows assimilation of knowledge, so I’m certain having time to re-sit or re-submit will do no harm if it’s a possibility.

  9. Resolution made this morning – wild woman rising: my game my rules – and I’m very clear in my mind what that means (no settling for less than I deserve – in relationships, work, chez gem, health) and what the commitment and effort needed from me is to get that.
    Cutting ties with double faced gem lover, and not buying into Qi draining to and fro with Cap friend. A staffing issue is removing herself from my team. And I’m focussing more time on my relationship with my kids, and getting the hot, fit and healthy bod I want (20kgs down, 15kg to go).

    • Darling, with a moon in Gemini you don’t need alcohol to sparkle and you will speak the exact right amount of whatever, not too much

      Go off and have fun. Embrace your sparkly fairy aspects

  10. This Eclipse energy and the culmination of Scorpio into Saturn is undoubtedly life changing for me- Over the past few months I’ve focused inwards to understand the meaning of my own life and the heed the voice – that moves my life forward and my voice alone – no longer caring for the opinion of others when it’s not asked for- This in itself has been like a 7 year journey with unbearable lows to life altering perspectives and unforeseen development to mold your character in the fire so to speak – and it was a journey that I alone traveled from chrysalis to butterfly to reflect the change that I want to see in my life -and that change is becoming a concrete reality from everything to identity, relationships, to spirituality, sexuality how I perceive money and power to finding my vocation To my fellow Scorpios and fellow star gazers- I can say 1st hand the shift of Saturn into Scorpio will launch your metamorphosis -and if you were like me and I know how painful it can to be to see the truth -find joy and comfort in this seek the beauty in the natural world and the faith in the unseen – only through the murk of the ego can the soul evolve into whom your meant to become – only then can the lotus bloom so beautifully and vividly with a clarity that will sparkle like a diamond – Here are my astro stats if anyone is curious with similar aspects please do tell!!!!

    Sun Sextile Mars 6°06
    Sun Conjunction Saturn 5°08
    Sun Trine Ascendant 2°06

    • That was really beautiful! I have felt a shift into a kind of clearer sweeter state of being even as of this morning loved the shots of Cairns in that golden pink fluffy cloudy goodness right before the total eclipse, am loving the magic not sure about the details but have moon and Neptune close to 21* Scorpio natally x

  11. My horoscope for today was spookily accurate. I DID try to go up an old, familiar pathway, only to find that it didn’t exist any longer…

    …. mind you, I’ve had the IChing screeching “NOT THAT WAY YOU BLOODY FOOL !!!” for the last month or so, which helped.

    I’ve also discovered a new oracle ! I love it when that happens :D The Kwan Yin oracle by Stephen Karcher. Just basic bibliomancy until I downloaded an app to throw the sticks for me. Its both accurate and compassionate :) As opposed to, say, accurate but bloody minded and touchy, like certain other Ancient Chinese Oracles….

    Still pinging along on the pottery too. Got my first load of porcelain back from the Kiln – it goes “Ding !” when you flick it with a finger. Gorgeous ! Am just about to dive into painting it – my brush is sitting in front of me….

  12. I spent the day at the beach, sun worshipping, meditating and taking a long walk. I’m becoming obsessed with ballet again, and bought new slippers for practice. Its good for my focus- im not a yoga junkie, either.I got a voicemail from someone I sent my résumé to a few weeks ago. So, I have a possible interview Thursday…the weird retrograde job interview/offers still wont let up. I only get interviews during retrogrades. Nothing lasts – I guess this is forcing me to go with the flow.

    I certainly feel refreshed – and using the 9 reset moon mantras is helping. Good , solid advice.

  13. I’m going on holiday today – hopefully no Merc SNAFU…. that’s been and gone *fingers crossed* flights cancelled, hotel booked out (as I had to wait to book after my flights were cancelled FOR NO REASON…. woman on the phone “that’s strange, there was no reason for your flights to be cancelled”). But hey, I’m already in the mindset that something will go wrong *shrug*

    This eclipse has been a struggle – I so desperately want to contact THE ex. I can’t. I don’t have his number anymore. He doesn’t have mine. It’s such a hopeless case. *sigh*

    At least I can take my mind off him by seeing a very good friend. We went to high school together but never were friend there. I met her “for the first time” Mercury retro last year, she came and worked with me Venus retro this year (and that’s when we discovered we went to school together and even did extra-curricular activities together), now I’m visiting her (she lives on the other side of the country) this Mercury retro. She’s my retrograde friend. Haha.

  14. I think I’m back. My usually cool Leo-Scorp mojo has be blinking on and off since August. Spent Aug-Sept befuddled by work merde. It lifted briefly in Oct to return full force. Lots of work, no captain of the ship. Mixed messages. Figure it out as you go and try not to screw up too much. Tried to stay cool and not make waves. Have watched several people hired full time after my temporary status start. New people this week are actually getting TRAINING (the rest of us had to hit he ground running). Not sure why I’m still there. One regular employee was let go yesterday. Second since my start 5 months ago. Trying to get my aweome on. HOWEVER ,the Serious Freaky oddly disappated today. The Rescue Remedy Pastilles I’ve been popping? The eclipse? Is it the awesome coming or the calm before the storm? (Or both ;-)

  15. I feel remotely like myself again today – for the first time in a really really really long time (I’m talking years). So much still to churn through… marriage is at breaking point and all the time I’m planning my Phoenix moment. I didn’t handle the Dark Moon well (despite MM’s advice) – cried for 2 days but many had a few epiphanies during this time.

    The universe is providing me with love & support from so many places – and I have always been the person in that role, so up until today’s Eclipse have found it very difficult to be open up to receiving this help.

    My Aqua/Leo lover / friend has decided to address old demons & hurts with a love prior to me – all while still declaring his love for me. Not a situation of him hedging his bets, more trying to not repeat his mistakes in the future. So much pain to deal with, while still being his friend. And perhaps naively hoping that he returns to me after dealing with his “stuff”. He is my first true love that came back into my life after 25 years – serendipity is a funny thing. I can’t seem to ignore or deal with this mind, body, spirit connection I have with him.

    It has to get easier…

    • Oh hon, I feel for you. Change a few astro deets and this could be me. Sterile-beyond-repair marriage, met another man by complete accident, fell in love. The ‘once every 25 years’ kind. He was married. We called it off to sort our lives out, the proper thing to do. My marriage was crap before him, and after him it just became intolerable to stay. I’m now starting to wind it up. So I’m grieving twice.

      I promise you it WILL get easier. Lean on your friends. Tell them everything. Cry if you need to, channel your feelings into some kind of creative activity. Walk, look after yourself, and get good sleep. And change what you know in your heart needs to be changed. It is hard, but easier than you imagine. That’s what’s helped me. You are stronger than you think. xx

      • this is beautiful wisdom. though the amount of grief that comes from the (perhaps temporary) ending of one of these connections is phenomenal. i’m certain i’ve taken all this advice to heart, and yet the wounds are just as raw and bleeding as they were months and months ago. sometimes we just have to be totally flayed open and left for the vultures and maggots it seems. much strength and love to you both. xoxox

  16. i’ve been in a strange almost liminal state for days. peaceful and… nothing. no thoughts, no cognition whatsoever. my head is a block of wood. and yet i am suddenly speaking clearly, and people are understanding me!! and i speak out of nowhere and go back to no-thought. and after worrying about how i was going to write even a very short paper in this headspace it poured out of me during the eclipse beautifully, quickly, and i immediately went back to the void. so weird and backwards- my mercury all opposed to this one- t squared by neptune i guess… didn’t really see it coming… but nice nevertheless. :O saturn in scorp is CURBING obsessive tendencies… not a whiff of murderous fantasies entire scorp moon! hm actually obsession with kale salad…

  17. Sorry folks, a bit way off topic but I have a new lover, Her name is Samara (Not her real name). I am Aqua Gemini rising and she is Cancer sun, Cancer moon and Cancer ascendant. Is this combo actually possible?! I checked last night on Astrodienist after entering birth details and time etc. She is bats/weird but in such a lovely way and we click. The sex is rad and we seem to have these awesome experiences every time we go anywhere by just following our noses without a destination , it’s awesome. I described her or the way I feel about her to Samara last night… Its like she is a water bubbler that I have to drink from every couple of days or I will die of thirst…

    • Great news D, triple Kataka ! Oh yeah ! She’s going to love your poetic heart mate. Just don’t go all aqua on her now. Keep her cosy. No alien stuff , OK ?

  18. oh hello – i was just wondering where you were – i thought you might be interested into going to board with the Piscean a few posts down.

    Yes that is possible.

    isn’t Samara the name of the girl in The Ring who comes out of the Well? Did she come to you through the television and with wet hair?

    • Oh Dear I just remembered when my aquarian ascendant scorpio sun mars Dad told me how he knew my capricorn grandmother had dementia…She had started setting the table for people who were not there or known and when questioned about it pointed at the television and remarked it was for the people inside the box…My Aquarian ascendant multiple gemini mother quipped what will she do if its a crowd scene?

    • Hi . Her real name is Lucy! I was in Dee Why last week!! Just a stealth mission overnight 13hr haul down the highway to deliver some resin( surfboard resin) to Barry Bennet (Legend) and had enough time to scale the statue of the Duke at Dee Why Head to take a photo riding tandem with the Duke, catch the Manly ferry to Opera House, snap a photo of the harbour bridge etc and cruise Manly foreshore. I fell in love with Sydney! I know one guy I met in Tahiti who lives in Sydney a city of four mil… ran into him on the Manly ferry, can you believe that!? I shall return…

    • HI.
      I just read the post you were referring to and yes would love to board with the Piscean…
      There’s a Piscean in Sydney I would like to board with too.
      x

  19. A Kataka koan. I found it in a zen astrology book, or made it up or read it somewhere 30 years ago.. Do you like it ? I’ve always thought the one hand clapping thing was very ramzilla.
    Or is it more Leo ? Hmmmm

    • One of my fabulous colleagues of four years is Kataka. She gave me some baked treats today. And she made some goodies last week. Oh my god, i tell you that woman COULD knit a chicken. Only just found out her birthday. Took ages to get it out of her. She sure scuttled sideways about it…i didn’t even ask her directly! I asked around it. Of course the closer we got to an actual date (it was kind of a cute little convo game…i wonder if she knew what i was doing? I’m pretty sure i do the piscean flake thing reasonably well) but get within ten days of the date and OFF SHE SCUTTLES.

      Of course once i got the range tightened, i shot the arrow with a big smile, and she answered. Never seen her shy before in FOUR YEARS! She is really chatty and she always talks first. Katakan chicks are brill.

  20. I don’t know… I am doing ok! Feeling empowered by my new job, feeling better health wise and my toro /gem and I had a great night together Monday night! Maybe I will get hit next week! Voicing my opinion a lot more lately that might cause me to lose some friends but so what. I stay true to myself and let’s see who is still around.

    Xo!!

  21. Should have known better then to think I was totally immune to all this energy – the moon & mercury retrograde are just 1 degree away from my Neptune/Venus conjunction & I get a phonecall………..
    Have been doing the appropriate paperwork, phone-calls & negotiation for the past 3 hours and it looks like it’s all sorted. Having an inspection tomorrow to make sure I’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s – yes this is the paperwork & government bureaucracy of my occupation, this is as well as the tax, accounts & vat. Surprised I actually get time to work :-(
    Been wondering how I could use all that’s happening to ascertain the exact degree of my ascendant? I’m certain it’s within the orb of conjunction to my neptune/venus, but the birth time I have places it outside that. It would make sense that if the sun has been in my 12th that I found the energy vague and now I’m all action – wouldn’t it? I had about an hour of increased energy around the eclipse – could this have been the moon crossing?
    As always any insights welcome :-)

  22. Have had nothing but bad news this week – really so freaking wierd…….Freaked out at a casting yesterday cos they were 45 mins late – am normally sooooooo polite but i lost it at these rude arrogant people whio think it’s ok to treat people badly with no apology for keeping us waiting…..Is it me?????

  23. Mercury retro Scorpio eclipse feels like it might finish me off. Libra, Taurus rising, Venus in scorpio. I’ve made massive changes since the summer – moved with my gorgeous family to a seaside place I love, where theyre so happy, doing my dream job, doing it well and being noticed for all good reasons. And today I get an angry, aggressive letter from my last boss, about something I left undone and which is ‘compromising the reputation’ of the company’ – he is demanding I enumerate the issues and suggest how to resolve them. I won’t bore you with the details. Clearly I have to reply to this letter, and I think I can defend myself pretty well (writing is my job and my thing) BUT I’m just SCARED and TIRED in a really unhelpful way – this hurts me physically and im so desparate to protect all the good i have and to leave the draining, negative, megalomaniac crsp behind. I want it over, but worry that committing words to paper when I feel like my guts have been removed is a bad idea, ESP with merc ret / eclipse stuff. This is a powerful man, and I feel he wants to get me. Advice – please.

    • Well that’s really really horrible and I am not sure you even have to reply to this man (from both a legal and moral perspective). You used the word “megalomaniac crap” and I’ve dealt with some megalomaniacs in my time…perhaps you should consult a lawyer to see if you have any obligation to reply. You no longer work for this person so I doubt you owe him any kind of explanation. He should be finding the solutions, not you, as you are no longer in his employ.

      A legal professional may advise you not to respond, or may help you write a reply that outlines your rights and whether or not you owe him any explanation/any of your time. Surely before you left the company is the time for him to “tie up lose ends”–not after you have left. It’s not your fault he’s not on top of his game.

      Stay calm and don’t let the bastards grind you down. It’s what so many of us seem to be doing right now.

  24. Wow, I am so determined to keep control of the cage. SO MUCH MERDE flying around on the day of the eclipse. Turn your phone off for 2 weeks, turn it on again and find abusive texts from so-called friends. Clearly if I’m not at their beck-and-call, they don’t want anything to do with me….and that’s FINE by me. Talk about cutting out dead wood!

    Looks like my “Get Scorped” consult was bang on!
