This morning as I made my way around the blogosphere, I stopped at one of my favorite blogs: The Cost of Living by Pisces Hanna.
I love Ms. Hanna from that deep hippie side of myself. She is all the way Pisces and I wouldn't know much about that except that MANY of my friends are Pisces also. I've tried to get into astrology, being a tough headed Capricorn, but it hasn't always been a flawless study in my experience. Then again, no study really is.
Hanna put up a link to an astrology post for this week. According to Hanna's post and the article, there are a few planets in retrograde that are affecting how we're cleaning out our pasts to build healthier futures.
What does the planetary alignment mean exactly? Again, I'm no expert but it apparently affects many patterns of energy and action on this tiny blue and green planet.
Whether you believe in that or not is up to you. What I did love about the post was the question of "How far have you come?"
From the article:
"That history look back helps us prevent all sorts of problems when we go forward. So think back to November 4, 2008, February 6, 2009, and September 14, 2009 to see what was going on THEN which is what got you to where you are NOW."
What have you resolved from certain dates in the past to help you build the future you want to build?
I went back and linked those dates (above) to the blog posts from that day. I love blogging for that reason.
How far have I come?
Well, in all of those posts, I was trying to identify myself beyond what others expected of me. I'm still working on that. This entire blog is a quest for identity beyond the form of T in a relationship or T not in a relationship.
I've learned to accept myself - not all the time, no - but I have an awareness of myself that I fought before:
I'm a romantic. I have hope. I dream. I fantasize. I long for love.
I'm not all that different from most people, am I?
Since those posts, I'm very proud to say that I am learning more about boundaries (my own and others) and identity. I hope by accepting, I allow myself to feel loved and continue to grow into my amazing future days.
How far have you come since those dates?
Do you find that your astrological sign matches who you are?
I loved you the minute I read that some days you don't know whether to meditate or masturbate and that both intrigue you and make you sleep better. LMAO
ReplyDeleteYou are so very funny, T, and if those are your legs in the pic, I think I am in love with you as well!!
Keep up the humor and try to meditate and masturbate at the same time to achieve total 'oneness'...
I am a virgo and for the most part, it describes me to a tee. I found a website the other day that tells you your kids signs and how to deal with them based on it. I found that interesting and at 3 years old, my daughter is an Aries to a tee. It should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out T! I wonder if my blog will one day morph completely from single parenting to astology...hmm that might be fun.
ReplyDeleteI do find my Taurus sign to be VERY accurate. It's weird, but true.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go back and look at my posts from those dates. I love that we have our blogs to do that with. :)
yeesh...so THAT'S what it is...OK. I'm kickin' Pluto's ass. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking a Vedic Astrology course when I get back from India T. I can't wait, it'll be a two year adventure!
ReplyDeleteI'm an Aries, and the description of an Aries fits me to a tee. I'm strong, opinionated, and stubborn as hell.
ReplyDeleteMy sign does fit me ... although astrological signs are always vague enough to fit many more of us that the "true" sign holders.
ReplyDeleteThe past always gets us to where we are today, and the choices and actions we make today will get us somewhere later tonight, tomorrow, next week, next year ....
But, the past is over; we have now. We need to focus on our choices now because it's all we have. Altho, I sure hope I have a future! ;-)
I read my horoscope daily, but I don't believe any of it. I just like the daily reminder that there are forces bigger than myself at work in the universe.
ReplyDeleteNothing in life has meaning. Attaching meaning creates a world of your own imagining.
Horoscopes are fun, indeed, but just like the past I wouldn't get caught up in it! The past is exactly that - the past! Sitting around thinking "what if", "maybe if", and fantasizing about a future based on "ifs" seems pretty risky.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't appreciate what's in the present, you may find your present slips away and suddenly becomes your newest "what if" to ponder!

Astrology is an interesting study. While one's dailt horoscope might be fun and sometimes fitting. Not every person that is born under a sign shares all the same traits.
ReplyDeleteTo get to the heart of the matter one has to look at their birth chart. My husband and I are both Libras and in numerous ways we are very similar. However, when I did his chart I discovered that where our moons were changes how we handle things emotionally.
As far as the planets going retro Mercury does it three times a year and sometimes it will be worse for you then others. It's always a good idea to check when it's coming to be a little prepared.
