There It Is.

It hit me today that the ruler of my 7th house cusp - Mercury 10° Capricorn - is 1° conjunct my South Node 11° Capricorn. For my whole life.

I did not feel excited.

The ruler of my love life is conjunct my South Node. Or, my karmic past & that which I "should move away from/get over" is inextricably intertwined with my love life. And my 8th house ruler is in Virgo...need I say more?

My love life is ball-and-chained to my South Node.

Is there any way to feel happy & fulfilled in love… Continue

The last 24 hours have been trippy.

Last night a friend called and told me she's freaking out because the creep she was involved with and who gave her an STD now was threatening to take her to court. Lots of drama. On both sides.

When I woke up, the neck pain which sent me to my chiropractor yesterday was still...painful. Grrr.

Saturn in Virgo has been moving through my 8th house, and regrettably I think I have not yet managed to mold myself to what Saturn is telling me to learn. A pointless rebellion: me against myself. Maybe this is reflected by transiting Saturn in Virgo conjuncting my natal Pluto in 8th, squaring my natal Sun in 12th. (Could this be symptomatic of the 12th house aspect of "self-undoing"? Or rather tr. Saturn + my natal Pluto? Or both?)

I was feeling all happy that Saturn would leave Virgo by the e… Continue

So what kinds of crappy transits have you endured lately?
(Believe me, I say that as the proverbially optimistic Sadge...albeit a bit tempered by life experience. But I'll forever keep going on, trying to make the best of anything & everything, and be eager to share what I can in the hopes that it might help others travel more lightly.)

So here’s my transit check-list:
2003-2004........Pluto in Sadge conjunct natal Sun in 12th house
2007-2008........Pluto in Sadge conjunct Ascendant
2008-20… Continue
