"watch your emotions and name your feelings" -- interesting analysis of current full moon

[villager]

,snip>

The September 4th Full Moon in Pisces highlights an ongoing cosmic pattern that might account for the tensions, and as we all know, full moons bring out our emotions. So watch your emotions and name your feelings about what’s going on in your life and in our society. A named emotion turns into a feeling which determines our values. We need to live our values if we want to feel fulfilled in life.

The stage is set for the 3rd of five show-downs between Uranus in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo on September 15th. 3 is the number of creative process, forward movement, synthesis - the energy that has us discovering a new pattern, a new set of behaviors, new knowledge. Let’s see what we do with these energies in the next few months.

Uranus and Saturn oppose (are opposite) each other every 40 years or so. These energies form a stand-off between the Old vs. the New. Uranus is the Awakener, the Rebel, the Individual who wants to make the world a better place, as well as symbolizing eccentric, rebellious and erratic energies. Saturn symbolizes the restraints of our world, the crystallized beliefs and rules of our society, as well as the fear and restraints those rules and beliefs impose on our spirits. But Saturn can also be discipline, structure, and responsibility. The last time these planets opposed each other was in the mid-60s, when Uranus (revolution), along with Pluto (evolution), was in Virgo and Saturn (the status quo) was in Pisces.

Now these planets have switched signs so they can re-energize the revolutionary energies of the 60s. In the 60s, Saturn in Pisces revealed the dead and deadening aspects of the patriarchy, while Uranus and Pluto in Virgo opened us to rebel against them. When these three planets line up, there is usually political, social, sexual, economic and artist revolution. GUESS WHAT? THEY’RE BACK!

1. Very appropos for me today

Very. I am going to be talking with our superintendent of schools and the district board president about a letter that went out to parents re district children 'opting' out of listening to the President.

I will try to keep my cool... but I noticed last night that I was so very angry that I had several bouts of shaking. That won't do if I want to stay on top of the argument so this helps. I name that emotion anger and I will have to set it aside today.

2. thank you for this

I really like her stuff, and really needed to read it!

[get the red out]

3. I wondered what was up yesterday

Something was definitely up with me, and seemingly with no explanation, and it started with me seeing a headline in the paper about people raving at the local schools afraid that their children might be exposed to President Obama's speech to kids on Tuesday. Old verses new indeed! Tin-foil had vs reality; and it got under my skin. And when I got to work it seemed like everyone was just nuts! I really looked at my emotions all day yesterday, they were just bubbling under the surface all day.

4. I don't even know what to say, this is so true for me

"Uranus is the Awakener, the Rebel...as well as symbolizing eccentric, rebellious and erratic energies. Saturn symbolizes the restraints of our world, the crystallized beliefs and rules of our society, as well as...discipline, structure, and responsibility."

My husband was talking the other night about buying a great big new TV. "How mad would you be if I did that?" I made it very clear that I really thought there were better things for us to spend that kind of money on that a new TV, since we already have two and they're both perfectly fine. I read my Susan Miller horoscope for September yesterday, and I just knew he was going to do it anyway. I thought maybe later in the month.

I came home from work yesterday (he took the day off) to find that he had indeed purchased the great big %^$*ing TV. He even enlisted our son in the process, promising him the old TV for his bedroom.

At first I was just quietly pissed and sulking. Took it out a bit on my son and realized THAT wasn't the way to go. Then I got depressed, this is not the first time he has so ignored and annoyed me, I should have left him 10 years ago, I'm a dupe and have wasted my whole life, etc. Realized that wasn't a good way to go either.

THEN I got mad. "How mad would you be if I did that?" Oh...Oh...SOOOOO mad. How mad??? I guess we're going to find out.

September may be a pretty bad month.

11. thank you

bless you for that.

It is SO not getting better. Wow. That darn Uranus/Saturn whatever. Wow. My stupid eyes are opened. Wow.

:argh:

There is SO not a smilies lookup table thing for this...

6. This is very good for me to hear.

Thanks for this information. I've been working intently on understanding what my emotions are, how to control them, and how not to be controlled by them. I'm also working with renewed energy on an entrepreneurial idea I've nurtured for years, and I'm sometimes dizzied by the endeavor.

This post relates to so many aspects of my life right now. It's really good timing that I saw this today.

[Shallah Kali]

8. oh my. Isn't Saturn opposite Uranus forming a t-square to Pluto?

inexact but still felt....

Parent/authority figure issues alert. Saturn you stinker. immovable object meet irresistible force Uranus. pop. fizzle. How to get these to energies working together? :banghead:

9. I've had a MESS of a day

I'm feeling lousy (fatigue, vertigo) but the worst part was getting a letter from the State of Maryland demanding that we pay them $232 and change by Sept. 22 or face penalties and interest.

The weird part? We mailed our taxes back in March, and then I double checked and found we owed them $219 additional. I sent them the $219 on April 3rd along with a revised tax form.

A month later, Maryland sent us BACK a check for $218.86 (they kept 14 cents) and said we didn't owe them anything.

Now Maryland wants that $218.86 (no mention of the 14 cents) PLUS $11.90 interest for being "late."

I called the state comptroller's office to get a message that the office is closed today due to state budget cuts. So I sent an email to one of our state delegates asking him to please help straighten this out. I have no intention of paying that $11.90 interest, and I want the 14 cents deducted from what we owe.

On top of that we don't have $218 at the moment -- we have to buy food with a credit card until my DH gets his next paycheck. And the worship committee of our UU church decides to hold a dinner meeting at a really expensive restaurant in 2 weeks. WE eat out once a year on our anniversary, so I really can't afford to do this. I emailed them that I would eat dinner at home and them join them.

And some of the bell peppers I picked to make stuffed peppers for dinner were moldy inside. Why do peppers get moldy inside but look perfect outside?

Arrrrgh. What a Full Moon! Other stuff happened, but these were the "highlights".

10. I ran my ass off to get 2 reprieves today

My stafford loan, which was supposed to be dispersed 8/21, then 8/28, then maybe 9/4 was again not dispersed. They said to fax the emergency loan form. I asked if I could hand carry it as I'd be in the area. Great!

That turned out to be a very smart move on my part. Standing there in person, she heard my story again and, realizing I'd done *everything* I was supposed to do, in plenty of time, and realizing that it was a 2 hour round trip and I was so desperate I was going to make a 2nd trip next Wednesday to pick up the check...she said wait 5 minutes. The woman that cuts checks was, by some miracle, still in her office, so cut me the emergency loan on the spot. So now I have just enough $$ to pay my cc bill and electric before I'm broke again.

New stafford loan dispersement date is -- gulp -- Sept. 15. The beginning of the evil time. gulp.

I got home to find a message on my machine from local school branch re: scheduling makeup exam. This is, btw, in the middle of hell week -- from 9/17-9/19. As exam is currently scheduled I have to get up at 5 to leave house at 6:30 to drive 1.5hours to spend 4 hours in lab then take quick lunch break then spend 1.5 hours taking hemo exam, then drive 1.5 hours home, then run around for 2 hours feeding, watering & putting animals to bed the drive 1/2 hour to work then work 4 hours then come home some time in the middle of the night. And then have a day off, a night of work and a full day lab 1.5 hours away.

After much begging and explaining the prof changed the lab schedule 3 times and that she's ok'd the makeup as long as I schedule it, they agreed to tentative makeup time to be confirmed next Friday. So now, instead of taking the exam after the lab, I can come straight home, rest for 2 hours, spend 2 hours putting animals to bed and getting ready for work, work 4 hours, sleep in a bit the next morning, review exam material, take exam, come home and rest some more, take care of animals, etc. work, and next day have full day lab 1.5 hours away.

So it's still hell, but a little less hell than otherwise.gulp.

and LiberalEsto, I feel your pain. I too am living on credit cards right now.

12. and the noisy freeper neighbors are at it again

My meltdown last spring when they started blasting music so loud (during finals no less) that I couldn't shut it out -- 600 feet away with all windows and doors and storm windows closed -- has worn off. They were quiet most of the summer, and then started slowly cranking the volume.

Last night I could hear it in the shower. This is war :grr:

So I blasted them back, set up my Cd player in the garage window, which is closer, with Cher blasting away.

They quieted for about 15 minutes, then turned something really pounding on and cranked it. At the end, the guy stepped outside and bellowed "YEAH!!!!!"

But Cher was just my shot across the bow. I came back with the big guns with smaller portable set up in my pasture entry on a deck chair. A diva duel. From the garage, I cranked Jessye Norman singing to Strauss. And maybe 200 feet from their front door, Kathleen Battle and Wynton Marsalis in a Baroque duet.

In the background, Jessye and full orchestra booming loooong, slow rhythms, "LAAAAAAA....LAAAAAAAAA....DAAAAAAAAA!!!!"
In the foreground, Kathleen and Wynton with focussed, metallic, laser-beam slicing through in driving, insistant Baroque dance rhythms, "da-da-da-da-da-daaa-da-da-da-da!"

In different keys.

Within a minutes, they'd shut down. I treated them to the cacaphony for about an hour, sitting out under the full moon, listening to Luna join in with his shrill bark n'bay. Planning my next move.

We're at war folks. Nothing less than civil war. Freeper War. Class War. War.

They pull their crap again, and I will go :nuke: Barry Manilow.

[eilen]

13. Not the Manilow!!!!!

lol. I feel your pain. I have neighbors who have had no visible means of support for the past 3 years. They get their drunk on every Friday night and piss each other off necessitating a bad loud "dialogue" in a Queens NY accent.

I want the switch than can send them in another dimension.

Torchwood, where are you when I need a rift?

[LiberalEsto]

14. Save Alvin and the Chipmunks

for your "nuclear option".
:evilgrin:

[liberalmuse]

15. This is really interesting.

In the past couple of days I've managed to piss off my best friend of many years and we haven't communicated since, which has never happened. I think I might be alienating those close to me because I'm scared. I have a biopsy on the 10th and I really don't want my friends or family to know about it. Most especially if I get bad news. My daughter is leaving the country and I don't want to upset her. My sister is very busy and I don't want to inconvenience her with yet more stress.

The odds are, everything is okay with my health, but my daughter's birthday is on the 13th, which is about the time I'll get the results and I'll be damned if I'm going to tell her, "Happy Birthday, I've got cancer". My being a total drama queen isn't helping much, either.

[villager]

16. well, take care and tell whoever you have to tell when the news comes...

of course, being good news, you can then tell everyone!
