Neptune Saturn transit

I might as well tell you, dear readers, that Neptune is currently square my Venus, and brother Neptune does not move fast. If you're an astrology buff, you know that Saturn is opposite Neptune this month. And if you're really buffy, then you have already figured out that this means Saturn is currently square my Venus as well.

Anyone with planets around 20 degrees in fixed signs is experiencing this mash-up strongly right about now. If this is you, feel free to show me some love in the comments. We can be space cadets together.  And if you have been through transit Neptune square Venus, tell me about it. Is it as bad as they say? Did your finances and love life go to hell in a handbasket? Or did you make the most of it? What do you know now that you wish you had known then?

The books tell you that Neptune square Venus makes you unrealistic about relationships and prone to all kinds of romantic delusions.  And very creative to boot.

I was surfing around in true Neptunian fashion, in the style of my Leo Moon: surfing blogs that link to me. Naturally, they are all excellent blogs. I was reading CraZedMoM's when I found the "Thursday 13."

Thirteen Things about Molly

1.  First, a confession:  Today is not Thursday, it's Sunday.  I'm a rule breaker.  I feel relatively unconcerned about this, because I'm sporadic about this, and to me, asynchronous blogging is better than no blogging at all.  I don't know yet if I'll do this every week. 

2.  Now I'll let you know how the Neptune transit is going.  Neptune has a connection with the endocrine system, and Neptune transits are associated with hormonal imbalance.  I had been really foggy and out of sorts all week.  The other night, I had a splitting headache, completely forgot about a conference call I was supposed to be on, and went to bed feeling agitated and stupid.  Early in the morning, I kept waking up, too hot under the covers.  Then too cold without the covers.  Covers on, covers off.  Over and over.  I thought, is this hormonal, am I having hot flashes?  That's unlikely, I'm only 34!  I took some motherwort, and sure enough, the hot flashes, or whatever it was, subsided, and I went back to sleep.

3.  I wanted to share a funny story that happened last night, but John thought it was too personal.

4.  I use herbal remedies for almost everything.  The only drug I take is Alleve.

5.  I'm taking a course, learning to be a stock trader.  I have been doing practice trades with fake (Neptune) money (Venus) for a couple of weeks.  Real money trading only begins after a year of practicing.  When a trade doesn't work out, I'm tempted to cheat (Neptune) and erase it from my fake money ledger as if it never happened.  It comes from me not wanting to face up to making a mistake.  If I did that, people would know I'm not perfect.  No one can know!!!

6.   I updated a lot of websites last week to help keep out the naughty comment spammers who like to post links to their porno sites, and lots of them.  That's why you have to type in the text from a picture if you want to comment now.

7.  I had my teeth cleaned on Friday.  I dread having my teeth cleaned.

8.   I am usually pretty chatty with my dental hygenist (as much as one can be while getting one's teeth scraped), but Friday I wasn't up to it.

9.   Last night for dinner, we made Parmesan Chicken from Simply Recipes.  I think I should have cooked it longer, but it was still pretty yummy.  Simply Recipes is by far my favorite cooking site.  Check it out!

10.   I think you should visit Lynn Hayes if you don't know her.  She is one of my favorite astrology bloggers.

11.  I am knitting an unusual looking but very warm hat.  It's the Maltese Fisherman's hat from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac.  While looking for a picture to share, I found the Zimmermaniacs blog.  Awesome!

12.  I was bitchy to a good friend last week when my head was aching.  I know she understands, but I still feel badly about it.

13.  I have been jogging 2-3 times a week since the second week of January.  I hate jogging, but I love how I feel afterwards.  My knees have been aching lately when I jog.  I told the guy at the running shop about it and told me it was probably "rust" from being inactive for so many years.   I was surprised when my superstar physical therapist sister agreed.
