Aspects for the week beginning 29 August 2010
Shh! Shh! It’s oh so quiet. Shh! Shh! It’s oh so still…*
In contrast to some weeks lately, it is a very quiet week, almost like you are awaiting a birth and the space needs to be hush hush. Of course if the Camerons’ baby had not arrived early, they would still be awaiting a birth. As it happened, I was holidaying in Cornwall when Endellion arrived early. She has other names (Florence and Rose), but Endellion is the name getting all the attention, being the name of the village of their holiday break. Mine was Tywardreath, incidentally. The name is interesting to me because I had already noticed that the baby girls whose charts I had analyzed this year all had unusual names beginning with “E”, Elodie, Elena and Eden. I have no idea why this is – maybe there is a numerological reason, something to do with the year of birth. I also saw my young nephews this week after a long break (my how they had grown!). The youngest had a gadget which could put me out of business as a past-life therapist: an App on his iPod which tells you what your future life will be. Ingenious! The results were spectacular (though not entirely convincing). I think I will plod on with my work as it is…there are no short cuts to enlightenment. So as you can guess, I am gently stealing time as there are no aspects at all until Friday (3rd). It is a protected space, so therefore it is a good week to have a silent retreat or a restful holiday lying on a beach, just processing the results of the Cardinal T-square or whatever other preoccupations have filled the last few intense weeks. It could also be a time of research for future projects; a time of preparation and quiet anticipation…the end of the school holidays and the accompanying ubiquitous banners of “Back to School” hovering at the edge of our visual field. Mercury is still retrograde, so it is not yet time to act, but perhaps to read between the lines of political autobiographies, and gather new mental tools (brain Apps), because the old ways are no longer as useful. We are also under the cover of the sign of Virgo, one of whose number, Greta Garbo, coined the phrase “I vant to be alone” (strictly speaking – and Virgos are – she said “I want to be let alone”). Virgos and Pisceans especially will resonate to this theme this week, and reflection may lead to self-awareness. Friday’s Sun conjunct Mercury at 10 degrees Virgo will concentrate the mind. Whatever has been ruminating and incubating earlier in the week will crystallize and if not actually be harvesting the game will certainly be on. It could be
You’re all alone And so peaceful until…You fall in love*
It may even be a birth of sorts, but it is just as likely to be getting to some place of fruition with a filing project, or a health project (such as going with an alkaline food diet). Whatever it is, it will be something you have worked towards, and you could be excited by the green light of action. I will be away that day, but I am collecting charts and cuttings and biographical snippets for the forthcoming Labour Leadership Election and something could crystallize creatively…but maybe you have something more interesting and worthwhile in mind. There could be a dryness about the Virgoan aspect on Friday, but Saturday’s aspect of Venus trine Neptune has something to offer those hearts yearning for love and inspiration and the gamut in between. If you didn’t fall in love on Friday, you will on Saturday.
Wow bam You’ve never been so nuts about a guy You wanna laugh you wanna cry…*
Of course it doesn’t have to be a guy, it could be a child or a political project or a new diet (“Oh how I love my new Alkaline Diet!” You could exclaim). It’s not quite the Wow bam shrieked by Bjork, but more of a quiet celebration. Venus trine Neptune has the air of a Chopin Nocturne, or an old fashioned waltz.

ok, I am whispering, though I have to say, it’s bad for the vocal folds so my excuse for now speaking at my normal volume is that I am a voice specialist!!! Shhhh keep that one quiet! Well, my goodness Lana – after all the dramas of last week this appears to be a doddle….. Watch this space! I am currently on the coast but not on the beach as there is a gale and rain outside… I am looking forward to falling in love…. who knows what or whom it will be with Lana but maybe it’ll be that Alkaline diet you so naughtily mention 🙂 blessings to you and all your other readers …. I am here because “I vant to be alone” …… 😉

A quiet week perhaps for me to get some outstanding chores done. I am a little concerned re you mentioning dryness for Friday, which is my new date for water meter fixing. Still, there won’t be a flood then…..and I am concentrating on the green light for go. All will be well, as we know. Thanks Lana for updating my insights into aspects, ha, love Sarah.

I can take a week of quiet and aloneness, but of course, I AM a Virgo and we ARE rather solitary creatures.
As for the falling in love, it has begun. Bear & I are probably going to be the re-home/permanent foster parents of Phoenix’s dam Nellie (http://miracleshilohs.com/nellie.html) who is the half-sister of my beloved and much missed Jade (http://ydraigkennels.com/) albeit born after Jade died through the magic of frozen semen.
If Nellie comes to us, she will still be a breeding – ah – girl (oops – almost used the dog person’s term there, edited for ‘G’ audiences!) and may even be our first litter producer since she’ll probably go into heat before Ms Phoenix does.
I entered this conversation cautiously but Bear, when told of the possibility, jumped in enthusiastically, to the point of even beginning to re-design the back garden so it will be more comfortable for dogs. He’s my hero! Perhaps I will merely fall more in love with him?!
Sarah – the dryness of Friday may be to your advantage, in that the water persons may find the meter and have it off with no catastrophes.
Flick, not only is whispering bad for the throat (which I just found out from you) but it’s easier to eavesdrop on than speaking in low tones. So when y’all are trying to be secretive, just speak quietly and the listeners will have a much tougher time. Also, as it’s less sibilant, it attracts less attention.
The weather has turned, rather dramatically, here from SUMMER to Fall. I am feeling energised and ready to take the world by storm (in the five elements I am a pretty balanced Metal-Water-Wood so the seasons of Fall-Winter-Spring are my comfort places).
That’s it for now, I’m off to jump back in to adding my patients to the new-old practice management system, which seems to be the “for now” best solution (they solved two of my most pressing problems).
*hugs* to you all – wish I could share the amazing air right now, this is the pay off for the HOT HOT HOT days of summer.
TTFN –

Oh, and, Lana – NICE Bjork usage. How have untapped depths I haven’t even begun to guess at!

Dear Flick, Sarah and Dia
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated!
Flick – I think you really have the spirit of this blog: enjoy the rest of your retreat
Sarah – The Sun-Mercury conjunction occurs in the 12th (Unconscious) House of your newly rectified chart, so it will be an exercise in mindfulness
Dia – Thanks once again for connecting us to SoCal as you call it, and congratulations on the prospect of your new addition!
Love and Peace
Lana

Here’s my Friday update, then (but note, computer still doing better if not perfect). Up really early to be ready for 8, in case water engineer comes to me first. 1pm gone and no visits from anyone, except one unwanted phone call. Phone through to Manager, who ‘bless him’, ha, made today’s booking. New, third time lucky, appointment made for Thursday next week. Strangely, I feel pretty dry about this. Wonder what the aspects,if any, are for 9th. Love Sarah

Sarah – Interesting day thus far. Too bad about your manager dropping the ball, but I guess that’s a learning experience too (maybe a lesson about treasured outcomes?)
Opposite you, I have been feeling a bit watery all morning – as if I’m about to burst into tears, but no idea why (and SO not my style). Actually, it began late last night – probably about 6 or 7am UK time.
Have a great weekend – wonder what next week holds for us?!
*hugs*
