Sun Conjunct Mars Square Uranus

Holy Cow. So THIS is why I'm in bed making notes about bank accounts and monthly bills and phone numbers and emails and passwords to make things easier for the to-be executor of my will when I'm no longer around. 

I made a few stabs at this last year but the DWI repercussions were just so horrendous and dreadful there was no way I could focus. Yesterday my executor (Personal Representative in New Mexico - PR) - came over and I showed her what I'd written and we agreed I'll make an appointment with an estate planner ASAP and we'll get the blasted thing done. Then I can really concentrate just on the health issues. 

It's going to be this warm (75*) for at least the first few days of next week so I'm not missing out on the weather, not that there's too much I can do out there anyway, although I might hobble out there right now and see if I can pull up a few more dead plants. 

Wow. A real post. 

Just the Moon Today...

... . so nothing to worry about. A strange freedom here from the beginning of the week (?) From the beginning of the year.

I knew it would be not much more than making the will and dealing with my various (some far-flung) medical  issues, for want of a better word, and so far I'm right.  Things To Be Dealt With is too long, but that's what they are. 

Staying in bed for the first two weeks of the year took me somewhat by surprise. 

This is taking me somewhat by surprise.

Venus Opposed to Jupiter

 Well I have the blog back but I've lost my two readers.

Thought I posted this. Not paying enough attention. It's 2/27 today. 

Sun Trine Saturn

I found out this morning from my younger sister that our older sister had died. It wasn't a surprise. I knew she'd had a stroke late last week and had been unresponsive, but that was all I heard for three days.

We are not a close-knit family, if the noun can even be applied. I didn't see my mother and father in the same room together until my older brother got married in 1962, when I was 17 and had to be a bridesmaid. 

"Stolid" would be the word for my appearance at that wedding. 

Neptune Conjunct Saturn in Aries

So was it coincidence that yesterday, when the conjunction took place, was the day SCOTUS ruled that Mr. BigTie's tariffs are illegal? I haven't seen any astrological stuff online saying it wasn't, but I haven't really poked around. 

Oh well, I just did, and the AI  overview puts me in my place immediately.          

>>>a major 2026 Supreme Court decision, likely regarding executive power over tariffs, is >>>expected to coincide with the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries. This alignment >>>>(Feb 2026) suggests a strict, structural ruling (Saturn) that limits broad, idealistic, or vague >>>(Neptune) executive authority, reasserting congressional control.

As for me, I went back to TRICORE to get blood drawn for a doctor's visit on Monday (I went on Thursday but the computers were down so I had to go back) and was told there were no doctor's orders for me so nothing done again. I went and visited a couple of friends - NOT something I regularly do - and then came home, lit a fire, watched the original Wuthering Heights and went to bed. 

What a Total F*ck Up

So I've just posted on what I thought was this blog but it was the one from 2021, which somehow came up when I was looking for this.

This is all because I've decided I want to have a YouTube channel - I have one with four videos on it but they were done in PhotoBooth without a proper microphone and lighting and me with no make up - and with Saturn as my constant companion for the next couple of years I'm trying to do things properly, which means giving the channel a name, which has taken me a year and a half to find. 

I wanted to call it MichelleToldMeTo, because it's what she told all of us at the Democratic National Convention in 2024, when Mr. BigTie was the looming threat. Then I decided I couldn't do that because I didn't want to get her into trouble (!!!!!). Then I had to renew my Green Card last year and thought I might get MYSELF into trouble if Mr. BigTie really does have his minions looking into social media accounts of  anyone applying for a Green Card renewal, but that was wild and paranoic (?) speculation on my part as I really don't have any social media accounts and anyway was far too busy jumping through hoop after hoop trying to get. my car to start after getting a well-deserved DWI in November 2024 and being unable to get the Interlock Ignition Device to work. 

But now I've got this far and seem to have my current astrological blog back, I think this is enough for one post and with any luck I'll be able to get it back later and post here again. 

Blog Lost for Four Days

Or rather my access to it. Thanks to my attempting to clean up all my google accounts and not lose my old astrology blogs I haven't been able to get to this, and only a last ditch attempt this morning, going back in history to Wednesday, got me here where I could post the draft I did on I think the 11th and now this one.

Phew! Still Have Access.

 It looks as though everything's still OK. I can still get in here and I'm just going to leave the unwanted and unused google accounts from my first attempt at a YouTube channel alone and make a whole new account. TheFrogThatDidn'tJump will be the name of the channel and staticfrog@gmail.com will be the er, email. 

PET scan all done yesterday, stayed in bed till 2PM today but why not, and with Sun and Venus in the 11th House it looks as though I'm staying home all day. 

STILL Venus sextile Venus...

 ...according to astro.com and now I have the horrors that I've messed everything up in this attempt to get rid of old google accounts. Maybe I should just leave them alone and make a new one (aarrgghh) for my new YouTube channel, except I really would like to know what's attached to the old ones. I seem to have used one of them as a recovery email for the account I use most, but google seem to be asking me to get rid of the account I use most rather than the recovery email account. 

Oh Lord. One good thing—I've done my taxes and the IRS has accepted the files, but even that is giving me the horrors as the refund is way bigger than I was expecting so I added the Turbo-Tax extra of getting help if I'm ever audited. Always trying to do things the right way because of the super-heavy Saturn influence. At least Venus is money. 

In an hour I have to go to Gila Regional Hospital for a PET scan, which means I ate only protein yesterday and haven't eaten since nine this morning. This one is in case I have cancer because of the nodules on my lungs discovered a couple of weeks ago. I might have said this yesterday. And nothing done about the will. 

Mercury Trine Saturn and....

 ...Venus sextile Venus. 

Serious thinking and simply feeling at ease—I guess they could go together. There's definitely been some kind of switch but whether it's because I unburdened myself a bit with yesterday's post or due to today's transits I have no idea, but as with the way I feel about everything right now it doesn't matter. 

If I could do SOMETHING about the will I'm supposed to be making it would make me feel SO much better instead of having it hang over my head like the executioner's sword. The Aries in me wants to simply (hah!) call an attorney, tell him or her what I want and be done with it, but alas! Silver is such a dinky little town that's impossible, so rather than take one step towards making it happen I do nothing. 

It occurs to me it's a bit silly to post about a day first thing in the morning—well, 10:04, when nothing's happened except the usual let the cat in, feed him. make a cup of coffee and go back to bed for a cuddle and cheering myself up with the news, so this is it for now and I'll be back later. I hope. 

7:41PM And I am. Being very serious and attempting to start a YouTube channel properly, which means I need to sort out the mess that is three (or maybe four) google accounts. I don't know what's attached to which account, and I want to keep the two blogs I had before this one,  so I've managed to link to both of them and I know which email is attached to this blog.

This is the first astrology blog I had, starting on the first of October, 2008. It was when I still had my apartment in New York and came out to Silver for the summers, renting the house in the winters.

This is the second. I'm totally confused and can't figure out when the first one ended and the second began, but the links still work and give me some kind of  record of my time out here. 

And Venus sextile Venus—went to the house of friends in the afternoon and, spellbound, no kidding, we watched Deathtrap.

Progressed Saturn Conjunct North Node in Cancer

OK, this is the one I need to be focusing on when I try and make a post on here. This is the one that's been going on for years and is getting closer and closer to perfection, except that won't happen till April of next year, and as soon as it does I'll have transiting Saturn to the Sun, then Mercury and then Venus, and that won't be over till April of '28, when I'll be 83.

My North Node's in the Third, short distance driving, and with Saturn doing its stuff on the Node the DWI I got in November 2024 (with Uranus and Algol on the Ascendant)  took care of driving for nearly a year, and as soon as I discovered a device I could use my skeleton gave out so I can drive but not walk—easily, that is. Some day my sense of humor will come back and I'll find that funny.

So, become the transit or suffer the transit. I got my walking stick but it doesn't seem to be enough, and so far I don't see any signs of anything arising from the ashes. My main occupation so far this year is staying in bed all day and wondering how Trump can possibly be president.  

 

Mercury Sextile Venus Yesterday...

...and Venus sextile Mercury today and the sad truth is I cannot summon up any enthusiam/motivation/desire to do anything at all, least of all describe what happened yesterday or today or the however many days it is since I posted.

I'm giving up for today and maybe tomorrow will be better. 

Maybe There's Hope

At some point last year, when I must have been feeling somewhat OK, I went back to putting stuff on eBay as a way of making some money and giving myself something to do. It must have been  after I'd switched to INTOXALOCK and could drive the car, as the problem with putting things on eBay' is that once they sell they have to be delivered, and with the dreaded Lifesaver in the car I couldn't do that. 

So—I have no idea how I got it but I have (had) a needlework sampler made by one of my great-aunts when she was 11 and attending a school in a working class area of London in about 1890. It's always fascinated me as unlike most Victorian samples it doesn't show hearts and flowers but instead shows various darning and mending skills—buttonholes, several patching methods and some intricate embroidery thrown in for good measure. 

No one else in my family is interested in it and I don't want it going to a thrift store when I'm dead so I put it on eBay for $99, carefully put it somewhere where I'd know where it was and was pleased that it garnered some attention with several watchers. I was optimistic enough that I thought I'd better get it ready to ship for when it sold and then, of course, as has been happening for the past 24 years I've had this house, couldn't find it. I had to take it off eBay.

Fast forward to three days ago. My mission this year is getting my various health "issues" to my primary care doctor, and when I saw the pulmonologist last week and discovered I have nodules on my lung (lungs?) he gave me a hard copy of the hospital report and a note to take to her. Now I needed a big enough envelope, which meant going into the freezing cold inadequately heated addition  that J built on when we bought the house that has all the eBay stuff to sell and all the packing materials. There's a cardboard box with bubble wrap and padded mailers and right there on top of that was a 8 x 10 brown envelope, perfect for the report and doctor notes. 

Imagine my surprise (!) as I picked it up, opened it to put in the report, and lo and behold, there was the lost Victorian sampler, neatly folded and wrapped in tissue paper ready to ship to the lucky person who might have bought it six months ago. 

Lesson—do one little thing instead of watching YouTube left-wing radical lunatics in bed all day and you'll start (if you're lucky) a chain of events that'll MAKE you do something and get you out of this horrible waiting for your new life to start but not doing anything to start it. 

It didn't MAKE me put it on eBay but I must have some tiny spark of life left and I did—put it on eBay for $99 at nine yesterday morning and at 5:43AM THIS morning it sold. Less than 24 hours. 

So now, with Mercury square the Ascendant today, I have to get out of bed, wrap it up, print a label and take it to the Post Office. Movement! Activity! Probably speaking to someone! $84.67! 

Maybe I'll even put something else on eBay. Maybe it IS the beginning of a whole new healing cycle. 

Maybe living here will be OK after all. About time!

Mars Opposed to Pluto...

..and it's 12:30PM and I am still in bed watching 30 Easy Meals '50s Housewives Made Without a Recipe (that have disappeared). There's a link if you want to check it out yourself. 

This is also the day the Saturn opposed to Chiron transit perfects for the third and final time. It began in May of last year, before I had any knee or hip issues, and goes on for a week or so, by which time I doubt either of those issues will have vanished. 

 Astro.com call it a test of ideals, but I have no idea what they might be. Maybe I think the president of this country should be sane. That he isn't is definitely the cause of a lot of inner strife as I stay in bed all day shackled to the laptop, although the staying in bed all day is only (only!) since January 6th of this year. 

I don't know if this wanting nothing other than  to be warm in bed is related to the horror of last year, when all I did was jump through hoop after hoop after hoop, or to the not having heat for a year and a half because of the solar debacle or just because I'm 80 and have absolutely nothing to do except keep the cat and I fed and watered.

Doesn't really matter. And as for Mars opposed to Pluto, I can't see any culmination of successful effort or giving up because the opposition is too strong. Still, it's only 1:06, so anything could happen. 

Oh, Walmart is supposed to deliver my decaf coffee they didn't have when I ordered yesterday, so maybe that's the culmination of successful effort.
