I have my natal Sun in Libra, the sign of relationship, conjunct Chiron in Libra and have spent many years analyzing what makes us tick when it comes to relating to others.
What with one thing or another, this week’s cardinal aspects have kept me hopping from one thing to another and exceptionally scattered. I’ve had appointments to keep, a husband here one day and on a job the next, a puppy that still needs her share of my time and attention and on top of that, I’ve had to wade through health insurance documents to make sure I’m able to extract as much money as I can to cover medical expenses.
I also noticed a couple of weeks ago before Mars stationed direct, it had opposed my progressed Moon in Aquarius. Well, it’s doing the same thing again this week. Yikes! For some reason this transit seems to throw me off balance emotionally, largely due to someone else’s actions and drama . . . like a certain Aries pissing and moaning because he has had to deal with some major drama queens to get paid for jobs.
The yard and garden work is beckoning. We have lettuce, spinach and peas planted and coming up already – a good two weeks earlier than the last couple of years. My daffodils and early tulips are starting to bloom too. Mowing all our grass is about to start for the season and I’m sure my puppy will be happy to help me with that.
This picture was taken on April 7, 2009 of my Jetfire daffs and grape hyacinths. This year those same daffodils are in full bloom right now and will be long gone by the time the grape hyacinths are blooming.
Anyone else dealing with rapidly changing circumstances these days?
Something that has become clear to me as a result of the doctor visits and tests, is leading a simpler, less stressful life with fewer distractions, commitments and minimal deadlines is now a must. So regretfully I am leaving Real Astrologers in Pat Paquette’s keeping. Please encourage her to keep Real Astrologers going with her great weekly forecasts and many interesting posts. Keeping up with Libra Seeking Balance is enough for me at this time in my life.
FYI – for those who have been using my realastrologers.com email address to contact me, please go here to find my new contact information. Thanks!
Wait, what?
Um, I completely understand this:
“…leading a simpler, less stressful life with fewer distractions, commitments and minimal deadlines is now a must.”
Um, I completely understand this
LOL! I bet you do, Deb!
BTW, I first started seeing a doc last September after the third Saturn-Uranus opp in Virgo-Pisces. The first two oppositions brought the fuel oil in the basement and the river flooding. Then my husband totaled his pickup when Uranus stationed last summer. Uranus transits to natal Mars, Mercury, ASC & Uranus triggered a dramatic increase in stress levels and related health issues which I’ve been working to resolve.
We have the fourth Saturn-Uranus opposition at 28 Virgo-Pisces on April 26 & the final one at 0 Libra-Aries on July 26. [not going to worry, not going to worry, not going to worry . . .]

And, yes. One minute, I have a schedule. The next minute, that schedule is made anew.
Gah.

Yeah . . . exactly!
Hi Neith! Currently things are stationary, but within a week I will be home and going full-throttle. So I’m feeling a little anxious but I just keep reminding myself this is my time of reprieve–I won’t get another break from school until this time next year. Part of my decision to go away means I have lost time to make up for.
All I really care about is ensuring my home situation is stable and my Dad doesn’t die. I’m dealing with premonitions of both but I’m hoping it’s just residual fear more than reality, if that makes sense.
Hey Christy!
Thought it was approaching the date you were going to be heading north again. Are you prepared for the cold & rain?!

Yes, that makes sense. I have had some similar premonitions – get them when I look at some Uranus transits coming up. Doing my best to ignore them.

nope, i am not ready at all. ha ha!

The cardinal T-square is zapping your pSun, I see! My pMoon at 6 Cancer is making a getaway!
I’m still waiting for action. Mars going direct is feeling finally like things are moving, but Neptune squaring my natal Mars makes it all a bit foggy and sloggy! But hoping the cardinal T-square will shake things loose and sell off the condo. Uranus and now Jupiter in my 8th, so who knows?
Hey leslee,
I’m still waiting for action. Mars going direct is feeling finally like things are moving, but Neptune squaring my natal Mars makes it all a bit foggy and sloggy!
Nothing quite like Neptune transits to Mars to interfere with a clear sense of direction. However, Uranus is now exactly sextile to your Mars so maybe that will help!
Saturn transiting my Sun in my 2nd house (where your pSun is) this past year or so forced me to think about what I value (time) and what I can and can’t do.
Saturn has been transiting my tenth, and pretty much forcing me to re-think all work related decisions I have made the past couple of years. With Uranus opposing it from my fourth house, guess where the most unexpected events took place creating conflicts with my career goals . . . in the home & related to my family.

Oh, and I applaud your taking steps to cut back where you need to. Saturn transiting my Sun in my 2nd house (where your pSun is) this past year or so forced me to think about what I value (time) and what I can and can’t do. I still sometimes regret not being able to do everything, and having to cut some things and some people out of my life or cut back on how much time I can spend with them, the calm of being able to just enjoy the fewer things I can focus on is rewarding in itself. Sorry you had to let go of Real Astrologers – I’m still following it via Bloglines and enjoy Pat’s posts there (since she deleted her own blog) and yours here.
Understandable. The changes just come at lightning speed, and already the yard is looking like it needs attention. For the first time, I’m kind of dreading it and asking myself why I started so many projects. Good thing I took off for that retreat, but it feels like the good it did me has already come undone, now that I’m back at “the speed of normal.”
Hey Joe!

heh, when it comes to yard and garden projects, I am the first to admit how easy it is to overextend! My husband says plant more broccoli & cauliflower for freezing . . . I keep thinking we can only eat so much.

Still it was a good break for you. Hopefully you did gain insights during that time that will prove helpful in the days to come.

Oh I’m sorry that you’re leaving Real Astrologers, but it seems like you have enough on your plate already – your garden needs you
Yes, my garden does need me. I just hauled my broccoli, cabbage & cauliflower starts outdoors for the day since the wind isn’t blowing. This will be a daily trip in & out until they are transplanted into the garden in a week or so.
