So Now the Sun's with Saturn Opposing Saturn

This really is like a living nightmare. And just as I'm about to to go to talk about this morning - workmen everywhere, me stuck in the little back room with lousy Internet and banging noises all over the place and the guys go off for lunch and I think it's safe to put a load of laundry in and I do and then a plumber arrives and tells me has to shut the water off - as I climb back on to the bed a text comes telling me one of the people I used to play tennis with has died, "they think about four days ago".

Chilling words for them of us what live alone. 

The poking and scraping outside has started again. Plumber seems to have left. No idea whether he turned the water on again or not. 

Should I leave this open to chronicle the future events of the day or accept reality and acknowledge I probably won't write anything else and just "publish"?

Saturn Square Saturn and Opposed to Neptune

So this is supposed to be the roughest time of all, it seems, from the 13th of March or so till the first few days of April. No argument from me.

Just wrote three more paras that the lousy Internet didn't save.

...and now Venus sextiles the Moon

This is what happens when your natal Sun sextiles your Moon—one day Venus conjuncts your Sun, the next it sextiles your Moon. (Tim Cook has decided there's no such word as "sextile" and keeps replacing it with "textile". If I miss one, please accept my apology.)

Sidetrack: I'm beginning to think that when Neptune conjuncted Saturn whenever that was (the day SCOTUS told POTUS his tarriffs were illegal)and gave everyone on earth the chance to begin something new, the something new for me is getting a YouTube channel going. 

I have one, of course, but I don't know what its name is. I don't think it has one. I did it last year when Trump was sitting there day after day having executive orders read out to him and then signing them and holding them up to show us all he knew how to sign his name and what a clever boy he was. 'Tis my hope that that signature will put him in jail. 

Moving on from that example of my impetuosity to Venus sextiling the Moon today, I'm very happy here at home, hobbling and piddling around emptying the living room and Big Sunny Space for the painters on Monday. I'm on a bit of a roll and don't want to be sitting here inside on this glorious day. So maybe later. 








  It's taken a long time for me to call this house home and I'm happily hobbling and piddling

I think right now I have about 4 Google accounts and am reluctant to trash them as  this blog might be attached to one of them

Venus Conjunct the Sun, CONTINUED

Personal magnetism - this should be good. 

Well, the cat was out all last night so he's been having a cuddle all morning.

This is kind of in reverse - people staying away - but I was expecting the stucco crew to be here again and they're not, so it feels like a holiday not having to walk around closing the curtains as I go from room to room, not that I do that very much. 

I do have a friend coming by this afternoon, and it always goes well when I see her.

I just wish the being in pain didn't stop me from doing anything else. 

 9:33 PM

P.S. I have to stop being a big baby. A friend I haven't seen for ages texted and asked if this weekend was a good time for her to visit. I said no, not quite that abruptly, but we exchanged emoji hearts and all is well.

Then when the friend I knew was coming came she brought me some beautiful little live pansies that I can put in a bowl easily and have on the back patio table. 

Much more better than I imagined.

Mercury Conjunct Mars

OK, back to normal haha. 

Quick events of last two weeks: 

My sister died.

Trump took us to war.

My leg really really hurt.

It's the 15th. I started to write this on the 13th, couldn't finish it. 


A Test of Endurance

Chiron square the Midheaven:

This is the second go-around of this and will be over at the beginning of April, just as Chiron moves on to conjunct Mercury and then Venus. 

I haven't written on here for a week and have lost my 90 day streak on Duolingo.

It seems I can cope with anything except physical pain. Last time this was in effect was the jumping through hoops time with all the incorrect DWI information. 

I see the surgeon for a consult about my hip replacement on 3/30.

A Strange Time

The past couple of weeks, that is. 

Strange enough to knock me off here for a few days. 

What was it? It might have been the chickens come home to roost but I don't think that applies to me. 

Going to see what astro.com told me might manifest this morning.
