Sun Trine Neptune

So that little bunch of planets that just left Capricorn and entered Aquarius is now taking turns at trining Neptune for me.

Yesterday was Mercury's turn, and now some of them are opposing Pluto as Venus did yesterday, and the sum total of it all seems to be I get lazier and lazier (or more and more slothful, take your pick, and add in more and more depressed if you want another choice) and just stay in bed.

So - so far - this is the person I spent so much time being concerned about as 2025 came to a close and I wondered who I was going to be and what I was going to do when that horrible year had ended: I stay in bed all day, have no interest in doing anything that involves effort and live on the laptop watching radical left-wing lunatics voice their opinions about Trump on YouTube. 

And I don't care. 

Mars Square Venus

 Well first of all any interpretation of this involves a partner, which lets me out immediately. 

(Yesterday, Mars trine Chiron, I went to a therapy appointment where I intended to say I no longer wanted to go and said it in a way that worked with no one's feelings being hurt, and somehow today I feel liberated by that.)

So - back to today, handyman painter was supposed to come at ten and I was going to be all ready to leave when he arrived and go down to the P.O. to pick up a box to return S's stuff and take a couple of bags of trash to B's and I might even have deluded myself into thinking I could return S's Christmas present even though I've yet to tell Amazon I want to return it. 

And at ten, when HM arrived, I was still in my fleecy keep me warm hooded robe but had the two gallons of paint I bought months ago all ready, did absolutely nothing while he was here and when he left and I was paying him I asked if he could add in a dump run and there went all the trash. 

Now if it works I'll be hearing from the Tucson surgeon at 3:15 and won't miss the call as I did last week. 

Later: It did work and I talked to the Tucson surgeon and I don't need a stent in my heart I need a stent in my leg - or rather I don't yet but if he does indeed ever put a stent inside me it will be in the legs. 

I know English isn't his first language but I do really need to pay more attention to my health. 

CHIRON CHIRON CHIRON.

It's my little friend at the moment, Chiron is, following me around along with Saturn for a couple of years. I suppose it should be "He" and not "it".

Mars square Venus? I was texting Liza about not needing a stent and John FaceTimed me. 

Mercury square Venus and...

...Venus trine Neptune. 

Neighbor texted saying he completely forgot about our planned astrological conversation yesterday and could we do it today. I had to think about it for three hours but eventually answered yes.

It was the right answer. Big success, happy client, 90 minutes and he left at 3:30 (PM). 

Then I got high and watched lunatic left-wing radicals on YouTube watching The Man at the Resolute Desk self-destruct. I missed out completely on Watergate. Had no idea what it was all about and am definitely making up for that by paying bigly attention to this one. The pace is picking up. 

Going to look at the https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html to see if he's awake yet. 

Oh boy. Just looked. 

Capricorn New Moon or Getting High?

Doesn't matter. Yesterday was the first day in 2026 that I got out of bed mid-morning and stayed out. 

I made a start at repotting the succulents and did a little bit of clearing up. Most importantly, I did some very basic exercises supposed to help with hip pain, and hope/intend/plan to do them for a week and see if they help.. 

Today, Monday, with Mercury trine Chiron and Sun square Venus, at 9:43 I'm already back from a dental cleaning and will be giving an introduction to astrology to a neighbor and am probably going to make a batch of gingerbread with the baking stuff I have left over from Christmas. 

Fingers crossed. 

Over the Midheaven Hurdle

That was a bit rough, that parade of planets over the MC. The pack is only now starting to break up and start its separate travels through the Tenth. 

And with full credit to Lynn Hayes 

(Those of us with planets between 10º-25º of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra will be most strongly affected by the Chiron influences.)

And now it's Venus's Turn on the MC...

 ...and what I could do today is get on Amazon, get the code to return S's Christmas present that she didn't want or need, take it to the UPS store, take some trash to B's in town. go to the library and see what other Tom Wolfe books they have, take stuff to the thrift shop, pick up the mail blah blah blah or stay in bed and finish Bonfire of the Vanities. 

Sunday:

 I stayed in bed and finished B of the V. 

It's all Learning

 [PAUSE]

Saturn, that is. 

Finally I get what an extended Saturn transit does to you (well, me). It makes you learn about structure and I suppose if you are fully enlightened you can understand why it is that what you are being forced to learn is exactly what you will need to get you successfully (you hope) to the next stage of whatever is going to happen in 2026. There endeth......

Yesterday Sun on the MC, today Mars, and yes, there have been stirrings of energy - examples of energy, to be precise, visits to Marshall's, lunch at Mi Casita, help today with a frozen spigot that I couldn't budge - nothing too much different from the other days this week in bed - and back I went this morning and only frozen spigot mid-afternoon got me really out of bed for the day.

I did wake up a bit then and here it is 8:35 and I'm still up.
