Horrorscope

Ok, so in order to locate some information that might give me a clue about who I am and where I might be going at this important time in my life, I am conducting my education of astrology. Since April of last year, I have been seized by the activity of creation and started crocheting hats, scarves and a skirt until I developed a lump in my hand that vaguely hurt and I thrust upon myself the idea that traveling was something I was ready to resume. I received a lot of advice. My brother said, "Don't go by yourself, you're an easy target, being a woman, and if you're thinking of taking your laptop, forget it! It'll be ripped-off." Another friend suggested renting an apartment and sent me lots of pictures of his trip to Paris, where he rented an apartment. My sister recognized the significance of my projected extension and urged me to look into a "round-the-world" ticket. After dreaming about Buenos Aires and turning into a Tango piano music appreciatior, I know that I'd like to go to South America to Argentina and Peru and Rio de Janeiro and spend a little time in each place...

I think I feel the freedom to allow myself the opportunity to pick up my life after having been responsible for the lives of two others. (It is absolute, at the moment.) A chance to put the parts together again and construct something beautiful, practical, artistic and non-corporate or material. Currently, things are going to pieces! Government-issued helicopters flying over the ocean, the Mayor's affair which should be his own affair, Senator Biden's infelicitous remarks... The light and shadow is what I notice the most; it doesn't seem to matter whether it's natural or artificial or in color. In addition, the stars and the moon were brilliant in the sky over those aberrant frosty days we had last month. Lunar tide time, sidereal time, birth time.

There seem to be a few interesting astrologers out there. Some good writings on the planets and the aspects, I've found. I think I want to take a class in astronomy and learn the constellations. And there's a class I'd like to go to on the 3 Planet Stellium (sp) of Mars, Saturn, Pluto in Leo. Chart interpretation's confusing and demanding and painstaking. Like learning music.
