Weekly Weather October 1, 2012

Time to feed your dreams and starve your fears!


We’ll start with the Biggie ~ Saturn travels through Scorpio for 36 months, three long years, starting October 5th 2012. Saturn leaves Scorpio on September 17, 2015. As Saturn dives into the murky, cloudy, dark and hidden waters of the fixed sign of the swamp, we each will be asked to evolve, transform and change in ways that are profound. Saturn in Scorpio will ask no less of us than to confront the secrets hidden in our being, souls, psyches, hearts and our charts. Saturn was last in Scorpio from August 24, 1983 to November 16, 1985. Before that, Saturn journeyed through Scorpio in Oct 22, 1953 to May 13, 1956. Those of us born between those days will be having a Saturn return as well as dealing with Saturn’s journey through Scorpio. Think back on those years in your life to get an idea of what you will be working with in the years ahead.



Mars rules Scorpio. As Mars changes signs over the next three years, we will be taken into different kinds of Scorpio energy. Over the past three years, since October 29, 2009, Venus ruled Saturn in Libra. Every time, Venus changed signs, our experience of Saturn in Libra shifted to reflect the goddess’ shifting focus. We’ve learned about our desire nature, relationships, partnerships, and what we want in our lives. I always think of Libra as being in town at the Big Dance on Saturday night, after selling our produce in the Farmer’s Market gathered during the harvest activities of Virgo. In Libra, we’ve cleaned up, scrubbed our fingernails, let down our hair from the practical ponytail of Virgo. We worked in all kinds of relationships all day as people came and went from our booth at the farmer’s market. We’ve gone shopping and chatted up folks all day. We ate dinner and shared laughter with friends. Then we went to the dance. Now, the last song is playing… Saturn moves into Scorpio. Now Mars takes over Saturn. Mars is behind the steering wheel of Saturn. And Mars is a very, very different energy from Venus.

1. Phil Collins got spots 12 and 13.

[KoKo]

7. He wrote good stuff and you need to dig into his lyrics. Agree!

[HopeHoops]

8. I'm an original ("Geneses to Revelations") up through early 80's on all fronts expert.

I sort of let it go after that. The album just called "Genesis" with the Perfection pieces was what I considered to be the end of the band. It still exists, but not in a recognizable form. I know most of them by heart. I can play damn near any of the first 15 years without music. Bands evolve. My jazz band from high school has children younger than my own. It's natural.

2. "Weekly Weather?"

Astrology shit?

[KoKo]

3. OFGS..just listen to the Music then..it's quite good and back to the "old days"

that many might remember here ..if they were of that generation.

Why be such a jerk?

[HopeHoops]

9. "Back in the old days" means "Elvis" to me. - As in "before my time".

[DryHump]

4. Loved

that compilation of songs!!! Thanks for posting!!

[Arugula Latte]

5. This is one of my favorites from that year:

[KoKo]

6. Yeah...some son'g were left out of "'84" like Annie Lennox..but. it's Cool...for me..but

Thanks for your addition as to what you added! But the Band Backround.obscures whay they are trying to get across in the Song/Tune....

Is this 1984?

[KoKo]

12. No Problem...I'll relisten!

[KoKo]

14. Thanks! and I found this Annie Lennox that's probably that time frame or whatever

Whatever Annie wrote and sung...I liked... Tit for Tat. She has other good You Tube vocals there.

16. Another nice Annie......

I edited to change it to this about MONEY to go along with REM.

[KoKo]

15. These are the Lyrics to "Pretty Persuasion"...I Did Re-Listen!

Rem
Pretty Persuasion lyrics
Songwriters: MILLS, MICHAEL / BERRY, BILL / BUCK, PETER / STIPE, MICHAEL

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)



It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Cannot shuffle in this heat, it's all wrong
Try to put that on your sleeve it's all wrong, it's all wrong

He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, your confusion
She's got pretty persuasion

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reasoning,
And I put that in this heat it's all wrong
Try to wear that on my sleeve it's all wrong, all wrong

(chorus)
He's got pretty persuasion
She's got pretty persuasion
God damn, your confusion
He's got pretty persuasion

In the light I saw
Quite a scene there

It's what I want, hurry and buy,
All has been tried, follow reason and buy,
Try to put that in this heat it's all wrong
Cannot wear that on your sleeve it's all wrong, it's all wrong

23. Thanks for that caveat that "real lyrics might have been changed" but a K&R...

MUSIC NIGHT! YEAH!

[aikoaiko]

17. While I was mostly into metal then, I dug Lauper's She-Bop

[KoKo]

18. Loved that one..it was OTT in a Good Way! n/t

[geardaddy]

19. That's certainly a trip down memory lane

I was a freshman/sophomore in college in 1984. I don't know if it's a definitive list.

[KoKo]

24. Didn't seem to inlude some other great music from that year..but there's overlapping

with the "year before and year after" as to when it all came out.

I posted thinking some others might have Faves in that Time Frame.. I posted Annie Lennox because I felt she was missing and others have posted some stuff.

"1984" was George Orwell's year and the songs of that years seem to "fortell" what would come after...at least imho......

[TwilightGardener]

20. Yikes, that's a lot of really bad music in one place.

Still nice to remember those MTV-watchin' high school years, though.

[KoKo]

22. We disagree...the 80's were the last "gasp" of music that did a narrative

that the "common masses could relate to."

And that so many still enjoy that music is a good thing. Just as you like and promote your own music...please don't deny the rest of us our "pleasure."

Just saying........
