Mars Trine Saturn

Phew! Suddenly this computer—the iMac I bought six months ago that I didn't really need—wouldn't let me log in this morning, except it's really afternoon because I slept till 10:30 which was really 11:30 because I was supposed to put the time forward last night and I never take any notice of that for days as I never have to go anywhere or do anything so time doesn't matter.

Anyway it wouldn't let me log in, which has never happened before, and I had to go through screen after screen the likes of which I've never seen before. Eventually I did see something in my search for help that looked easy. 

Tap three times on the power button.

I did and it worked and I was able to log in with my password. Mars trine Saturn? It took a couple of hours. 

7:13 pm

Pluto Trine Neptune REALLY EXACT...

...with Progressed Moon in the Tenth opposing Natal Pluto in the Fourth at the same time. 

OR:

How My Obsession with Astrology Ruined My Life only joking.

Below, today's attempt at writing the story of my life.

 I should just admit it. It's true and I don't like it. I'm addicted to Apple computers. 

They were supposed to be easier to use than DOS and appeared in the early 90s when I worked as  night manager for a  transcription business in New York. 

Uranus Trine Chiron AGAIN

So now THIS one's back, with all its supposed genius energy and a general feeling of well-being and health, which escapes me completely, and as far as I'm concerned simply adds a heavy dose of Chiron (square the Midheaven again right now) to all the Saturn that's part and parcel of daily life.. 

I did realize yesterday that right now the Progressed Moon's been opposing Pluto in the Fourth for a month or so, and will continue to do so for another couple of months, so God knows what I'm supposed to do with that. Nothing, probably, which is what I'm doing about everything.  

Pluto Trine Neptune Exact

Well I don't know about feeling utterly at one with nature unless you consider spending most of your time in a little room with big windows looking out onto nothing but sky and trees and not seeing anyone or speaking to anyone for days on end and not being able to send a message to Android friends presumably because of having to use America's Best Rural Internet Service because you live in the middle of nowhere being utterly at one with nature. Doesn't really feel like it, or maybe I don't know what it WOULD feel like if I were. 

Certainly leaves you plenty of time to think. 

Venus Opposed to Chiron

I'm paying way too much attention to the war.

I'm not really. It's an excuse for not doing anything other than futz around  holding on to the furniture as I go, trying to make an international phone call via tracfone, trying to get an appointment at the hospital, trying this, trying that, doing nothing. 

I saw this as a comment on Trump's falling asleep all the time and wish I'd posted it.

The sad thing is he keeps waking up.

Venus Opposed to Chiron:

I've been trying to make an appointment for a consult with a surgeon about my upcoming hip replacement for two days. I've had the referral from my primary care doctor (female) since last Monday, but I'm in no rush about this stuff so I hadn't called. 

When my knee (also due for a replacement) really hurt yesterday I called the number her office gave me , got a busy signal, called again, got a busy signal, repeat repeat. (American translation: I was in severe pain all day yesterday. )

This morning, after a night of trying to sleep with my right leg on a pillow and a cat insisting on doing it too and my knee STILL hurting, my grown up brain told me to call the hospital switchboard to make my appointment and lo and behold, there's a dedicated line for Radiology Scheduling, just not at the number I was given, and I now have an appointment with the surgeon on March 30th. Not exactly the time I had in mind, but it's my fault,  mea culpa, Saturn's in the kitchen and if I wanted an earlier appointment then I should have called the hospital the day after I got the referral. So there. 

Become the transit or suffer the transit. 

 

Mercury Retrograde Opposed to Jupiter

This was yesterday, 3/4.

 OK, let me try and do a regular ordinary post without going off into an orgy of self-congratulation because I'm writing what could be called prose. 

So far  I've managed to make myself a YouTube channel and arrange work to be done on the house while Mercury's retrograde. Nothing started yet on either of them but Astrologer Beware.  

There's the will, as well, further along than it's ever been but do I really want to get it finalized while Mercury's retrograde? A fine time to be thinking about all of this. 

Yesterday my knee really really hurt and it took a while for me to realize I had to double up on pain meds. 

Spent the whole day in bed which I haven't done for a while.                                                                                                                           

Chiron Square Midheaven AGAIN

I've been through this before, last summer, and that has no resemblance to this time.  This time it's physical pain, not mental. 

I'm a lucky girl, not just for that. 

The Emperor has committed suicide, yet we are spared the sight of the body. 

He'll definitely get the Nobel Peace Prize now. 

So probably that's not much to do with Chiron square the MC, but suddenly and miraculously I can write prose. if you can call this that.  It's been a long time since I kept a journal and a longer time since I kept a diary, and I often wonder if it's because that diary got me banished to London where I stayed for a year and then in 1963 came to America to babysit—if, lurking deep in my brain is the thought that if I start to write  again something terrible will happen. 

Venus into the twelfth today, where it lives. She.
