Well, this Saturn oppose Venus has me by the throat. I have felt like crying all day, alone and isolated. A man I thought I would commit to, he is awol. I made the perenial mistake all women make - I was too nice, too giving. An exception to that - the wise women have learned to stand their ground.
I have decided to become the best me I can, so I have done some research. The weight - well...I got it down to 160 and now it wont budge.
Look what I found today....

He believes in functional medicine, which makes sense. Optimal digestion creates health in the rest of your life.
I don't know what to make of the guy - other than a broken heart. A picture of him in a happier time.
I got fat - stress from the job....weight is coming off,....but not sure if the relationship will be repaired.

Astrological Weather
April 23, 2011
Happy Easter everyone.
I follow Elsa at http://www.elsaelsa.com/ for a good overview of what the cosmic weather looks like. She does not mince words, but if you want a heads up as to what is in the skies, she can be a huge help. I have learned the hard way to follow the cosmic weather, and at the moment I consider myself a journeyman. I seek to understand. I attend lectures with the Jung Group here in DC, again seeking to build a schema and to understand. I know I still have a lot of work to do, so I am usually judicious in my posts on this topic, as there are so many more out there who have so much more to say than I do, in a better format.
What I can relate are personal stories as to how some of this works.
At the moment, there is an interesting configuration going on. Saturn is in Libra oppose Mercury in Aries. Venus will be coming up to join them soon. They are square the moon in capricorn today, and this creates a t-square. They are also in a wide square to Pluto in Capricorn. What you want to learn to do is to be self-aware enough to make the changes that are asked of you, so energy does not need to manifest into an event to get your attention. Tracy Marks - who is a great introductory read - stated that the way to handle T-squares was to try to funnel the energy into the planet at the apex (top) of the square. In my case that would be a third house Saturn in Libra Transit oppose a 9th house Venus/Mercury in Aries Transit - with Pluto Moon highlighting the 5th house of creativity/love and 6th house of Work. I am looking into self publishing, and wonderful websites have been popping up today. I am going to look into this Citizen Scientist participation as something I will do to help the collective, and to help myself in terms of interesting creative avocation. The Pluto at the Apex is highligting love and work (more on the love in a moment), and the third house and 9th house of communication, education, higher education and travels are highlighted as well.
A lot of times I find astrology helpful when I am musing over my life and looking at what the Gods/Goddesses and Psyche asks of me. Like I said - I am a beginner journeyman - but having an understanding of my personal mandala has been instructive and helpful in my journey. With what could be a difficult configuration, I am finding that the Universe is sending helpers and help today. It does not hurt that Mars is conjunct my Venus at 16 degrees Aries. Venus is one of my guiding planets.
On this high holy holiday weekend - I suppose it may be about picking up our own crosses in Life- and maybe this is about personal accountability and responsibility?
There are never simple / simplistic answers.
I am reading a wonderful book by Victoria Osteen, and the lady is speaking to me. I am very surprised, but her words are a source of comfort and nourishment that I have desperately needed. There is that activated 9th house again. "Love Your Life" is a little gem. So this is getting me off my judgement source, I thought no way would I like this lady - but my intuition kept strongly telling me to get that book when I saw it last week. So I did - and I am very grateful I did.
Have a blessed Saturday.

Astrology in Action
I read with amusement and dismay that Pluto in Capricorn will affect knees and teeth.
Pluto went reverse last week. I broke a tooth, my secretary broke a tooth, the other secretary had a tooth ache, and our IT guy had extensive dental work.
Pluto also affects knees, and there are numerous posts about my ongoing knee healing.
Embrace it and move forward.

I wanted to share with you this wonderful website which came into my mailbox this morning. There are citizen scientists helping to do research on the Milky Way and other projects, and I intend to help them. Talking about stretching the mind and the imagination. I wanted to share this discovery with you.

Chrondomylacia, Saturn, Virgo, Venus, knees please
The diagnosis was Chrondomylacia, and the prognosis is I can reverse this if I get the 30 pounds off of me. I have spent a lot of time over the last month working on my knee rehabilitation, and I have seen improvement.
Some thoughts to consider if you are having knee trouble
* An Anti-inflamatory diet
* Ibuprofin instead of aspirin. Ibuprofin is anti-inflamatory
* Strength training instead of yoga
* Per my doctor
1) For each pound of weight loss there will be a 5% increase in knee function
2) Bicycle, Elliptical, Swimming and strength training are my friends. I have spent a lot of time
on the stationary bike in front of a news source at a gym - this is do-able for cardio.
3) In his words - if I can get the 30 pounds off "My Knee would be Golden". He believes I can
completely reverse the damage.
4) I will post more about that doctors visit after I find my notes.
* Chrondomylacia is torn cartilege. Found in aging athletes or after a trauma such as a bruise, it can be reversed and rehabilitated.
The strength training has been good for me. I did a lot of that when I was younger, and I find it helps me to focus into my body, into this here and now.
What is the old adage - Evolve instead of Dissolve - or Evolution instead of Revolution. More on all this - thoughts are changing because the body is changing, and the body is changing because the knee needs healing, and the knee represents Saturn which is the material world....and boy yes I need to get a clue.
I am connected but I need to learn to "Be Here Now" this is a north node in Virgo in the second house.
Perricone and Pritikin and Dr. Mehmet Oz are great reads for nutrition. I am not into being hungry or creating an eating issue - but what I knew when I was young and what I am re-learning now - is that if you eat the right things and exercise - your body will do what it needs to do.
Pritikin and all their friends advocates
* 4 Fruits
* 5 Vegetables
* a protein
* a carb (good carb like brown rice)
* a tree nut (almonds anyone?)
a day.
Health and wellness pay off in the long run. I will keep you posted on my progress.
