Saturn Return Can Bite Me

Uranus Pluto square dates

"Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries will form an exact square 7 times over the next 3 years. Will they hurt? Depends on where they hit your chart. Check the houses with Capricorn and Aries. Those are the areas of your life where old and new will collide. This will not be an easy transit. A literal death will not necessarily happen but a metaphorical death (say goodbye to an outdated relationship/lifestyle/habit/job) is in the works.  And some wonderful things can emerge.  Because if there’s one thing you can count on with Uranus, it’s the unexpected. Changes will come at you out of left-field, but so might new life."

Gulp. Most of them are on my south node or natal Mercury. Shiiiiiiiiiiiit.

April 2011 birthdays

So somebody I know had a full moon baby yesterday. I've been saying all along, "man, this kid is going to have an interesting life." (And probably not in the good way, more like the child is going to be a massive hardass. I can only hope he finds a way to use it for good rather than evil.) Naturally when I found out the birth time I had to do a chart.

• Capricorn rising, Pluto rising. Hoo boy, kid's gonna be INTENSE.
• Aries stellium in 3rd house... and there's a whopping T-square between Pluto at the apex, the stellium at the bottom and the moon/Saturn at the top in the 9th. His mom is very nice, so I'm sorry to see that moon/Saturn conjunction there.
• And Mars/Mercury/Jupiter are all conjunct/opposite that moon/Saturn conjunction. So the kid's going to have Mars/Saturn AND Moon/Saturn. Darn it. With a whopping Aries stellium. In the third house, and the kid has a ton of siblings. HOO BOY.

...Yeah. I kind of feel sorry for the parents here. I suspect this kid is going to be a walking drama bomb, in charge of everyone, at BEST. Nervewracking.

Another Saturn Return story

Kate Middleton is totally overdoing it!

People are coming unglued

"Are you seeing this too? I am not talking about, Arizona. I am talking people in your personal lives.
"I know a lot of people (and have a lot of clients) with planets 0-15 Cardinal and if their lives have not already exploded in some craptacular fashion, their tension is palpable.

I don't mean to be full of doom. I do think there are positive ways to use all energy but people who are looking for things to even out and smooth out - well you are not going to get that.
I have said this in a few places: Mars and Saturn and Pluto combined is not something to full with. There is no doilies to be found with this combination and we are going to have these planets mashed for then entire month of April. What we are seeing now is prelude for some of us and if you look around, listen around, read around, it's pretty obvious."

Sigh. Well, so far, this has been my 2011:

(a) New Year's was a buttload of drama 'n crazy because my mom suddenly went off the deep end.

(b) My friend's marriage has suddenly gone drama-tastic. She also had a new job interview right in the middle of this drama and I had to calm her down enough to focus on that for 24 hours.

(c) My apartment got flooded.  FOR THE SECOND TIME. At least this time doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as the first, since (a) the flooding only happened for around 2 hours instead of like 12, (b) only flooded 2 out of the 3 main rooms, so when I had to move stuff out it at least could stay in the apartment, (c) this time I have renter's insurance putting me up in a motel, and (d) I probably won't have to be out nearly as long as last time, more like a week or two. But still, how many people have this happen to them in freak upstairs idiot accidents twice? And now I get to worry about if it'll someday happen for a third time just to y'know, be completist.

Yes, that's all in the first 8 days of the year or so. SHEESH.

And right before that, a friend's wife's mom went into hospice.

I have Mercury and Pluto at 14 degrees in cardinal signs, my friend has several planets in Capricorn (including Saturn at 14), her husband has a cardinal moon, my mom has Neptune and Venus in cardinal signs, the friend's wife has moon and Mars in cardinal.

So, YEAH.

 

Moon/Saturn issues

"If Saturn-moon ever had a kryptonite it was guilt. I feel helpless under a guilt assault. No one can “make” you do anything, blah-de-blah-de, yeah yeah yeah. Let me tell you, my mother’s Saturn opposes my moon and functionally, yes, she CAN make me. She has the upper hand and while I may not like it, it is in my best interest to “go quietly.” Rebellion is not worth the collateral damage and I’m best off to swallow my objections, get it done, and get on with my life. Sometimes dilemmas don’t have heroic choices. Sometimes you do the best with what you’ve got and what you’ve got ain’t so great."
