THIS Rhett Butler Will Never Die

 Soooo, another one of the women of my life has not risen to the top of my consciousness yet for me to re-explore... but I'm still feeling pretty lit up about exploring deep memories, deep analysis... so let's just see where this blank page leads me to. Talking with Scarlett this morning, she was reflecting on how she is frustrated from not being able to work out a facet of her life that is deeply marred in her natal chart... if you are not familiar with astrological analysis, my putting the details here would on serve to confuse you... but what struck me about what she said was that now that she's lived 30 years and has not been able to resolve these struggles, she thinks she'll never be able to do so in this lifetime. The nerve that struck in me was that I've lived twice as long as she has and even though I was not able to rectify my struggles by my 30s, I have not given up working on them. Being twice her age I'm better at living with these struggles than I...

 I want to expand this self-analysis a little bit further and explore some of the features of one of the other "moon trines" that are in my birth chart. Moon Trine Mars Moon trine Mars natal  is an indicator of a successful life. It makes you daring, charismatic, sexy, and most appealing to the senses. You can draw a crowd, as the Moon represents the public, and Mars represents attraction. You can give off a special kind of attractive and entertaining energy. You should have a great need to express your feelings without holding back. You express both sad and happy feelings generally without restraint. Other people appreciate and respect your openness and honesty. You will fight for your family and your beliefs. You become so emotionally attached to the things you are passionate about that defending them is like defending yourself. At the intimate level, you are attractive, charismatic, and charming. You are a passionate lover with the sexual magnetism to have your strong need...

 Learning astrology, for me, has been a long and tedious process. I've been interested in it since I was in my late teens and I've made attempts over the years to better understand it, but it's like taking a cup of water out of the ocean and trying to analyze it... you see a lot of interesting things in that little cup but the vastness of the ocean lures you in to want to learn more... and the vastness of astrology and all that you can learn from it IS vast like the universe it is based on interpreting. How there are some/many people in the world that have a working understanding of astrology blows my mind. That they have learned enough to become confident enough to talk at length about it's mysteries, well, it's just mind blowing to me... I have not in my half-baked studies come anywhere near having even a base knowledge that enables to give or share insights with others. I think this is just yet another reflection of how Chiron in my 3rd house has made it difficul...

 I am by no means an astrologer, but I love learning new things about how to interpret (my own, primarily) astrological charts. I've been curious about astrology for several decades and have my own chart interpreted by qualified astrologers when I've had questions about important decisions I've been faced in my life. There are a lot of people that offer classes on becoming an astrologer online, but for the way my brain works, I don't think a class would be enough. I may have the best setup already. My best friend is an accomplished astrology student and she offers me free consultations and lessons whenever I have questions for her.  So today we were discussing astrology (barely a day goes by in which we do not do this) and I happened to stumble across an aspect of astrology that she had not really studied before. It's this thing called MOON VOID OF COURSE (M-V-O-C). Basically, there are rare times when the moon does not fully reside inside of an astrological sign. M...

 I had a lengthy conversation the other day with my best friend about "talking"/"communicating" and looked under the covers/lifted the hood as to what could illuminate why I am such a quiet guy. Well, the one thing that showed up was that I have Leo in Mercury, which states that I should be one who boldly declares my most outlandish ideas... and well, I do feel like I have moments where I do this, but for the most part, as people see me on the surface, I do not say very much at all about what I really think about what's going on. Further exploration under the hood showed that I also have Chiron in the 3rd house, which points to having experienced some type of psychological damage as a child which sort of gives me a chip on my shoulder about believing in my own powers of intellect... I don't know that I want to expound on either of these two astrological explanations right now... what brought me to the point of even feeling like blogging again, today, was a t...
