OK, perhaps I am being a little dramatic, but what happened on that day was definitely shady.
I started my new work opportunity on the 2nd. On the 11th, one of my co-workers was caught out by me badmouthing me to OUR CLIENTS. She had no idea I was right behind her and when my name was mentioned, I waved at her clients while she went on about how inexperienced I am and how much better everyone else that does my job is than me.
Which, she is a SALES person and she has no idea what my background is, how knowledgeable I am or anything. She is not qualified to assess my competency at my job at all, let alone bad mouth me to our clients.
It of course turned into a big stink at work, huge drama, she apologized for her unprofessionalism.
The transiting Sun (20 Gemini) was opposed my natal Venus/Neptune conjunction (19 Sagittarius), moving away from it slightly. Mercury was at 15 Gemini and Venus was also at 20 Gemini, all opposing my natal Venus/Neptune conjunction. Interesting.
Mars is at 17 Leo, therefore coming into a trine with the same point in my chart at 19 degrees. Also a sextile with my Pluto. Actually, the Sun, Venus, Mercury is also trining my natal Pluto. It seems like it should have been a pretty awesome day, huh? Actually, I don't think it was too bad. In my regular journal I wrote that it was all UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN...
Actually, the transiting True Node & Chiron were at 20 & 21 of Aquarius, exactly opposed the transiting Mars. I think that may be what caused it. I don't know.
I've had a lot of interesting situations crop up this week, so it's going to be interesting to see what was going on in the sky at that time.
Last night, I went out with a friend/former co-worker. We went out dancing and I've always enjoyed his company and valued his friendship. The interesting thing about him is that he has the Moon at exactly the same degree of Capricorn that I do - 10 of Capricorn. He's a Cancer, with Aries Rising. He's a bit of a lady killer. Super athletic and very handsome (not out of the ordinary for someone in my field, however). But we're great friends. Or so I thought. I'm an Aquarian. Can you see where this headed?
Towards the end of the night, he revealed that he's always had very deep feelings for me. That he feels like he can be himself with me. We kissed. He said he felt sooo lucky to be with me.
This is a disaster, because I do not want to hurt this man. He's a really cool person. I really value his friendship. I'm not into him in this way. Anyhow, this is not what I came here to discuss, but I wanted to see what was going on in the sky.
Interestingly, the Mercury retrograde was conjunct his natal Mercury. Transiting Mars at 19 of Leo was conjunct his natal Venus, which perfectly trines my natal Venus/Neptune conjunction. Actually, transiting Mars would have also been sextile my natal Pluto and square my natal Uranus singleton in Scorpio. I just realized he also has natal Jupiter at 20 of Aries... which is also trine my Venus/Neptune and trine transiting Mars and his natal Venus.
I think transiting Mars hitting that spot where all our planets interact had a lot to do with all of this coming out.
Transiting True Node and Chiron are also at 20 of Aquarius, also coming into play with all those planets, natal and transiting at 19 and 20 degrees of all those fire and air planets.
So what is in the sky for today, Monday, June 2nd 2008?
The transiting Sun is at 11 Gemini, which means it is quincunx my natal Capricorn... actually, that means that today, that aspect was exact and I have been very cut off and isolated from everybody. I'm not particularly upset about it or anything, the issue is that I forgot to pay my prepaid phone, so you get cut off immediately, and after paying rent yesterday, I'm broke until I pick up a check tomorrow that will put me back in the money (and my phone back on).
Interestingly, this means that in approximately 8 days, the Sun will be exactly opposed my natal Venus/Neptune conjunction and trine my natal Pluto. So I wonder what kind of a day that will be? Let's wait and see!
The Moon tomorrow will be at 16 Taurus. It's not really making any aspects with my personal planets. Actually, at some time during the day, it will be opposed my natal Uranus. According to Robert Hand's Planets In Transit this "could be a stormy period in relationships" and I can be excitable and jump to the wrong conclusions. I am emotionally impulsive. Interesting, considering what is going on in my love life right at this minute.
Mercury is at 20 Gemini. Almost exactly opposed my natal Venus/Neptune conjunction. Also interesting because it would have been exact yesterday, and yesterday I spent a lot of time with some male co-workers and their friends, and I got a fantastic insight into how males really behave, how they think, how their minds operate... Mercury is the planet of thought and communication, while my Venus/Neptune conjunction represents romance, idealism, my ideas about love and life in my chart.
Venus is at 9 Gemini, so it is also coming into an exact quincunx with my Moon, probably on Tuesday. This should be interesting.
Mars is at 12 Leo, coming away from a quincunx with my Moon and coming into a sextile with transiting Venus. Maybe something sexy will happen later on this week?
Jupiter is at 21 Capricorn, it is trining my natal Uranus and squaring my natal Pluto. Apparently this makes me receptive to new ideas and very ambitious, repairing, remolding. The latter transit making me go after what I want.
I don't think the outer planets are doing anything interesting. I will let you know how tomorrow goes. I have run out of steam!
So I said I was going to maintain this thing, and then I didn't! I suck!
Well, things with the Scorpio fizzled. I suppose it was the tyranny of distance and also the fact that we were both scared of getting hurt. Him more so than me. I mean, I am terrified of getting hurt, but I also want to have amazing experiences in life and love, so I am willing to push passed that. I may need some time and I may need to take things slowly (ok, maybe a lot of time! after all, helloooooo... I am an Aquarian!), but I will never end things altogether or let things fizzle out completely just because I am scared.
What I have found in the last year or so of dating, is that my most exciting connections, the ones with the chemistry that POPS... there is always something exciting going on with Mars in synastry.
Like, I met a fellow Aquarian with a birthday within 2 days of mine. This means that not only were our Suns conjunct, but his Sun was also conjunct my Mars... and his Mars in Capricorn was also conjunct my Moon!
But, alas! it was never meant to be! the universe quite literally conspired to keep us apart. The day he was supposed to call me, Verizon screwed up my phone, and I didn't realize that I wouldn't even be able to receive voicemails. So I thought he never called me. But he did. But by the time I figured that out and called him back (almost a month later), he was over it. Boo.
For the last few months, I have been seeing a Pisces with Scorpio Rising, Uranus perched right on his ascendant and an Aquarian Moon. So he has a lot of very Aquarian-like qualities and he's really big into being "friends" and very wary of commitment and labels. Which is fine by me, but the Scorpio Rising makes him like to try to manipulate me into demanding such things from him, he wants me to be jealous all the time. It's like he NEEDS to push my buttons. It's really weird. He plays a lot of games, which I have called him out on and he, of course, denies completely. We have a "double whammy" Venus/Moon sextile and trine with 2 degrees orb. So the emotional connection is definitely mutual and deeply felt. The chemistry between us is through the roof. I get chills down my spine from his touch.
From the very moment I laid eyes on him, I thought to myself "wow... now there is a guy I could TOTALLY get into!"...
Despite all of this, I am so tired of the game playing, I'm pretty much ready to call it quits. The straw that broke the camel's back was on Thursday and I think I will go back and look at what the stars in the sky said for that day, probably in a separate entry. Also, I am starting a new opportunity at work tomorrow and I am really excited about it, I have to see what the sky says about that, too. Again, separate entry! Toodles!
I've met someone I really, really like. He's magnetic, and intelligent and sexy as hell. He's a Scorpio with Neptune and Mercury conjunct the Sun. His Mars in Aquarius is conjunct my Sun/Mars conjunction.
Things got a little intense this weekend and I think he's backing off because he's scared of me. Things were just progressing too fast emotionally, even for me. I don't even know that I want it to go there, really (hey, I am an Aquarian). So I decided to take a look at his transits and progressions and see how they were interacting with my planets (also, he's born a day after Owen Wilson... I feel so bad for Owen, I wish him all the best in getting better).
The astounding thing to see is that his progressed Sun is becoming conjunct with my natal Moon over the next few years. Right now, his progressed Moon is exactly conjunct my Uranus which may account for very hot/cold changeable feelings. His progressed Mercury is exact on my natal Mercury. His Venus is a little further out than his Sun, but it is also coming conjunct to my natal Moon in the coming years.
My progressed Moon is also conjunct my natal Mercury and his progressed Mercury... I've just noticed our Nodes... and exactly conjunct each other! But opposed! My North Node is conjunct his South Node and vice versa! Wow. My progressed Mercury is also conjunct his North Node (and my South Node).
I'll write some more later, I feel really tired.
So yesterday seemed like it was going to be a bust. I went to the gym, but I could barely motivate myself to get through my workout. I cut it short early and went home... but then my old friend called up and was like "I'm coming over!"... so she very unexpectedly came over and we went and had dinner and went to see Knocked Up.
I didn't have a bad hair day or anything, but I felt really bloated and sluggish. I got some male attention, woo woo, go me. Also.... funny thing, we sat outside the movie and didn't realize that around the corner a huge line was forming to get into that particular cinema. The usher said something to me that I didn't really understand, and then he halted everyone that was about to stamped into the theaters somewhat dramatically... and allowed us to go in first, haha! That was great. We were waiting after all, it's not like we cut the line.
In the stars, last night, on Saturday, the 7th of July:
Transiting Moon sextile Natal Sun (7th house/5th house - 0 orb) and natal Mars (1 orb), semi-sextile Progressed Sun (6th house).
Transiting Mercury trine Natal Uranus (9th house/2nd house - 0 orb).
Transiting Venus quincunx Natal Mercury (0 orb), quincunx Progressed Moon, trine Progressed Parts of Fortune.
Transiting Mars conjunct Natal Chiron (3 orb).
Transiting Jupiter semi-sextile Natal Moon (3rd/4th house - 1 orb) - could that account for feeling bloated and sluggish?
Also, just looking over my progressions, I see that the Vertex is progressed to 21 Aries. This is both annoying and interesting to me, because someone I was involved with who really broke my heart, I looked at his progressions the other day, just by chance, and his Sun is progressed to 21 Aries. I don't want to be with him, but somehow, I can't seen to get him out of my life or out of my mind, even though there is no place in my heart for him any longer. This follows a synastric theme, since when comparing our natal charts, his Venus sits on my Vertex.
I've found the Vertex to be very powerful in astrology. I made some great friendships last year with some great people and I'm confident we will always know each other... and I have planets conjuncting all three of their Vertex points.
I do believe the planet conjuncting indicates the nature of the relationship. With my friends, it's all Sun and Mercury contacts, with my romantic relationship gone fatally awry... it was quite fittingly, Venus.
I hope when my progressed Vertex comes apart from his Progressed Sun, then I will be well and truly free of him. I'm optimistic.
I had a job interview I was really excited about today, I was really well prepared, I looked great, I had the perfect outfit, arrived on time... and then... didn't click with the interviewer!
She was very meek and awkward and I tried really hard to brush past that and build some rapport and offer her a smile and some friendly banter, but I just kept falling flat, and eventually, all the awkwardness and nervousness started to rub off on me. It was bad. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be. They went with the other candidate, but I wasn't surprised since I called the recruiter straight after the interview and I said I didn't feel good about it since it was so awkward and never really got passed that hump.
Otherwise I was feeling very happy and optimistic today, I was happy with myself and how I looked, although it was a very, very bad diet day. I was very self-indulgent! I'm not training tonight!
But I did have a really great hair day and got a few compliments, so that was good!
This is what was happening in the sky today:
Progressed Moon conjunct Natal Mercury (1 orb)
Progressed Mercury conjunct Natal South Node (2 orb)
Progressed Venus semi-sextile Natal Venus/Neptune (1 orb), sextile Natal Uranus (0 orb), square Natal Pluto (1 orb), trine North Node (2 orb), trine Karma (2 orb).
Progressed Mars semi-sextile Natal Mercury (0 orb).
Transiting Jupiter semi-sextile Natal Moon (1 orb).
Transiting Uranus conjunct South Node (0 orb, 6th house)
Transiting Sun opposed natal Moon (3 orb, 10th/4th house)
Transiting Moon trine Natal Uranus (1 orb, 2nd House), conjunct South Node (3 orb, 6th House), trine progressed Venus (1 orb).
Transiting Mercury trine Natal Juno (0 orb), progressed Sun (1 orb).
Transiting Venus quincunx Natal Mercury (1 orb), quincunx progressed Moon (0 orb) - miscommunication?
Transiting Mars conjunct Natal Chiron (2 orb), quincunx ASC (0 orb) - thwarted action? action
The aspects in bold are what I think may have made this a bad day for a job interview. Aspects in italics may have contributed to my feeling good today, and perhaps feeling self-indulgent. Feedback is always welcome :)
I had a temporary role today as a "receptionist" at a big company. The thing is, there was no phone to answer and hardly any guests, so I was online all day. It was great!
I felt really pretty and attractive all day. I had some great conversations with various contractors that were coming and going. Then, the cutest thing happened! One of the contractors who was quite flirty, came back with a note addressed to me! It said that his heart stopped when he saw me and I was so lovely and nice and beautiful that he hoped we could be friends and he left his phone number and email! Totally sweet, spontaneous and geniune. We actually did have a good conversation together and it was completely unweird and not creepy or sleazy or anything. Just very, very sweet, spontaneous and unexpected!
I emailed him later that night and said I had a boyfriend, but that he mde my day with his adorable note and not to ever stop being so spontaneous and genuine in that way, because it was a really great quality to have.
I also got a call for a recruiter for a great job opportunity, really well-paid. Interview is Friday.
I also went to the gym that night and got a good workout in.
I had good vibes with everyone today and everything went well for me.
