Guess what?! The New Moon in Scorpio is within a degree of my Ascendant. During this past week, the Sun and Mercury conjoined my Mars and Mercury bringing out my Scorpio side big time. Fortunately I was able to use the energy to work on upgrading WordPress for Real Astrologers.com. Of course, it was the last thing I tried after hours of deep frustration that worked – being tenacious is practically a requirement for working with technology.
The latest version of WordPress is much more user friendly than previous ones and I’m almost tempted to switch my blog from Blogger. One of the best things about WP is having pages to stick information on and there are far more themes to choose from. However I will have to think it over for while in true Libra fashion. Don’t want to rush into anything now . . .
Finally got a few moments and read Dana Gerhardt’s excellent article in The Mountain Astrologer, “When Transits Bring Suffering.” She rightly points out IMO, it takes a tough transit or two sometimes to clear out the old and get us to make very necessary changes. With Saturn squaring Pluto right now and a couple more passes to come, we would be best served to head over to Donna Cunningham’s blog, Sky Writer, to read her excellent series on getting prepared for Saturn-Pluto. Even though I totally understand about wanting to hide under the bed until this is all over, I also sincerely doubt the sky will fall either and humanity will muddle through as usual.
For those who prefer a more upbeat atmosphere, the Sun will be moving into Sagittarius in little over a week joining Mercury who makes the switch on Sunday. Thanksgiving here in the States will be more fun as a consequence. I know I will be ready for a breather from the intensity of Scorpio – as usual.
