Venus Trine Moon

Two posts in a row - give myself a pat on the back here and not say something sarcastic about how long can I keep this up.

The book saga continues - loaded up three bags for the library book sale and took them first to a friend for her to sort through. Went and bought an oil tank cap before I went to her house, having discovered that's why the light on the dashboard is on - NOT true. I discovered the reason the dashboard light is on after I got home, so the real test is to see if the light goes off AFTER I put the cap back on.

Moved out of the bnb room and back into my own little beddie in preparation for someone coming today after an extended black-out period.

Not sure how home and Venusian that all is, but not complaining.

Venus Sextile Sun

OK, I need to rouse myself here and start to post again, and what better than this? Not yet seven in the morning, and a friend is taking a bag of home-grown peaches (I mean, could anything be more Venusian?) to work with her for me to pick up, and in exchange I'm giving her a selection os short stories as I've been on a rampage and throwing out books.

Somehow I survived Pluto square the Sun at the same time as Chiron opposing natal Chiron and realized the life I've let myself fall into, for want of a better expression, isn't enough. I could put it differently and say being a lazy pig doesn't work for me longterm, but a short post will have to do for now. God willing I can get back to posting regularly. Or not.

Mars Square Sun

So off I go to Ace at 8am with the two hoses I am trying to join together  WITHOUT taking the crucial bit I managed to pull off and of course no one can do anything without seeing the bit I didn't take...
Smile sweetly and say I'll go back with the missing bit and of course I don't because by 9am it's too hot to do anything outside until the sun begins to go down, so get the room ready for the new peeps and make an attempt at clearing up the house.
And not too much energy after the labors of the day before to take my mind off the gravel in the driveway costing $800 and the dryer not working after the new boiler was installed and the new wiring for the new boiler costing $400 on top of the $950 for buying and having installed said new boiler...
Think I am beginning to understand Saturn in the Eighth.

Chiron Opposed to Chiron Exact

So in the middle of the night the boy cat is mewing to be let in and, half asleep, I forget what the particular noise he's making means. In he comes with mouse in mouth, and I groan and fall back into bed, trying unsuccessfully to go back to sleep and ignore the ensuing commotion, which goes on for at least an hour as the girl joins in.

In the morning I wake up with both cats asleep on the bed and presumably somewhere in the house a dead or alive mouse, unless of course said mouse is inside one of the cats being quietly digested.

It's my day to host the UpWords game and I turn the oven on and wait for it to reach 300 degrees so I can make the shortbread I prepared the day before. It's only 80 in the kitchen and I rig up an attractive old tablecloth across the window to keep the sun out. Shortbread done, it's out for breakfast with a friend and then back to the house where I eat four pieces of shortbread before the gamers arrive and I eat even more shortbread along with the de rigueur Sea Salt Caramel Talenti Gelato that accompanies UpWords.

Temperature's up to 98 by the time I've lost as usual so I retreat to the supposedly cool back room where I sleep, polish off what's left of the Sea Salt and then float on the bed in a stupefied sweat till about eight, when I stagger outside to water.

Four more goes of this, I think, stretching out to 2019. No sign of the mouse.

Chiron opposed to Chiron....

...AND progressed Sun making the square so far equals having a tennis ball in the face and falling over and grazing my knee during the same "lesson". Hmmmm....

Presumably I now begin to teach people how to use steak for non-edible purposes and recommend Neosporene for skinned knees.

Progressed Midheaven Exactly Opposed to Neptune

Just when I think the thrill has gone as far as astrology is concerned there's a day like today when the symbolism is so ridiculously right on I can't not post.

Saturn squares Neptune natally for me and I can hardly wait to see what's going to break down the P MC squares IT in August, but no prizes at all for guessing the household appliance which gave up the ghost this morning - the water heater, needless to say.

Venus sextile Uranus

New friends? Not really. Spent most of the day playing with the house plants trying to root the string of pearls and string of hearts (both very Venusian haha) and then most of the rest of it wrapping a present for a new grad to take to her party. Lots of people and old friends but alas, no new 'uns.
