Stay alert, centered during this Mars/Uranus transit

[Dover]

The opposition will be exact on the 6th but will be in play now through the end of the week.

Accidents, explosions, tempers, sudden unexpected actions, breaking from the group or
'old' situation, need for freedom, reform, frayed nerves, impatience, projecting anger, reckless, rebellious, eruption.


And remember that others may be more on edge than usual, so be sensitive to that even if you must make a stand on some issue.

[I Have A Dream]

1. Thank you for the warning, Dover.

I can't control anyone else, but I can do my part at least. :)

[Dover]

2. Yep that's all we can ever do. This week I'm suggesting that we be careful not to take the bait

if someone else cuts us off on the road, or tries to initiate debate or argument, as it can
easily escalate and mole hills can become mountains. So unless it's very VERY
important, I wouldn't engage anyone in this sort of exchange right now.

I'm hoping our country heeds that warning with foreign exchanges as well.

[katty]

3. yes, i feel it already--nervewracking

[elleng]

4. So have I,

and others; 'good' to have it confirmed!

Taking deep breaths does help me.

[Dover]

5. Rick just made a very good point about Uranian energy in Seattlegirl's thread.

Uranus/Mars is NOT the enemy. It helps us to get unstuck. So we need to be as centered, present and conscious as possible. But rather than curling up and hiding from or suppressing these energies, we need to direct them like a team of horses, meet the world, make important changes, deal with difficult relationships or situations, etc. And Uranus often shows us exactly where those changes need to be...where we are stuck. Or it may release us from burdens we thought we were required to carry,
only to discover we aren't beasts of burden but living, loving, joyful, free spirits that require
a better balance. So notice where the fault lines and shaking are for you this week. That's where things need to shift.

So sometimes flying off the handle and throwing a fit, releasing tears, anger, etc. is just what
the doctor ordered if it's been building up like the friction before a quake.
Even if it creates havock and chaos for awhile.
Uranus/Mars can initiate very important changes that are not to be avoided but
embraced....just as soon as the dust clears. :P

[katty]

8. thanks-just glad it is in earth/water signs--a bit of break fr fire

[elleng]

17. Luckily been able to hold my center,

and assist, or attempt to assist, others who've been put off by 'forces.'

SO back to research now for 2 of those!

[Dover]

21. Research?

Holding your center....wonderful! How are you doing that?

[elleng]

23. Dunno; just happening!

One thing, people I who frequently fight with me appear to need or appreciate some of my skills at the moment!

Breathing helps, too!

Research for daughter's junior year curriculum, and legal research for a friend involved in litigation! Already did some (fun) hunting for music around Elvis' era, for daughter.

NOW for a snack, and if lucky interesting (?) tv!

6. In the semi ancient lexicon of stellascopic lingo

this aspect would truly qualify as falling under both "klutz alert" and "spazz attack" files.

The fact that it's occurring very near the degrees at which the first Saturn/ Uranus opposition will occur since '66-'67, on none other than election day morn and very near where the Sun was on 9/11 should inspire us all to visualize our butts off. (bad metaphor) Maybe visualizing the plethora of fear off would be a far better idea.

It's liberty versus tyranny all over again folks.

We can choose.

Whoops . . .I feel another prayer thread in coming.

Yikes & e-gads.

[Dover]

7. Prayer thread...hmmm...I was sorta feeling these energies as the need for a little...dancing!

A little Dionysian laughter, drink...lightness of being...releasing some of those wild energies into the Universe in celebration... http://home.wanadoo.nl/bruch/lullaby/zorba.html


You remember...

[Flying Dream Blues]

9. But, I think it's a great idea to visualize (most of ) MY particular butt off.

But I'll visualize the more important stuff, too. Seriously, glad to know this is a good visualizing window.
:hi:

[JanusAscending]

11. Prayer indeed!!!

I've been feeling like my body is trying to "jump outside of my skin!!! Also having very weird dreams(weirder than usual!!) I've been praying an awful lot lately, but my antenni are VIBRATING like crazy!! HELP??? DC

[Dover]

12. DANCE! Good for butts AND vibrating antenni.

And pray at the same time. Orrrr...maybe put on a little Aretha..

"Oh...I say a little prayer for you..."


The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh

[yellerpup]

14. That's Dionne Warwick

not Aretha. But, a nice vibe to go with visualizing one's butt off. :hi:

[Dover]

16. That's right! Or at least that's the version I hear in my head when humming it.

When I did a little search for the lyrics, Aretha's name came up with the song. Maybe she wrote it?

[yellerpup]

25. It's a great song!

Nice to remember it no matter who penned it. :hi:

[japple]

29. Aretha sang it, too, n/t

[yellerpup]

30. Did she? I LOVE Aretha! n/t

:hi:

[JanusAscending]

18. I love that song!!

and I could use a little less butt...but, lol, I can hardly breath, let alone dance. I need some healing for my back before I'll do any dancing!! Love your response tho'. I'm finding them far and few between on DU lately. No matter where I go , I seem to be "invisible" I'm beginning to get a complex!!:rofl: Thank you, DC

[Dover]

19. Sing out Louise!!

That was my Momma Rosa (stage mom) immitation. Seen Gypsy Rose Lee?

So what's going on with your back?

[JanusAscending]

22. Sure I saw Gypsy..........hasn't everyone??

My back........where do I begin, I've had problems most of my life, beginning in my child bearing years. I've had nine pregnancies and 7 children that survived. My back gave me problems when I was 16 yrs. old. As I aged it got progressively worse. I developed degenerative disc disease from a work "incident", which Chiropractic helped immensely. To make a long story a little shorter, now I have developed scoliosis. At the ripe young age of 69, if I vacuum my living room, I'm flat on the couch for two days!! My osteoporosis prevents me from further chiropractic, so I live in pain a good amount of time. Losing weight helps somewhat, but it's hard to keep it off when the only exercise I get is walking the dog at night!!! Anyway........yes I can sing. I love to sing. It's one of my gifts that I can still enjoy!

[Dover]

24. Singing is such a wonderful pure expression and release for me too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your chronic pain and limiting circumstance. What helps?

I've had some very painful back problems that were helped TREMENDOUSLY by acupuncture.
Through word of mouth I found a very good practitioner and went every other week for a two
hour session for a year. And now it's completely cleared up. Mine was primarily muscular
with some bone issues from an accident. I'm truly amazed at just how effective it was, and
so grateful. While I laid there for my treatment I did visualizations...OR fell deeply asleep.
Ahhhhhh...

I also did regular mild stretching with a friend of mine who suffers from arthritis,
so we were a perfect match! We also took aqua-aerobics together at a nearby pool which was always
so relaxing afterward, and easy on my poor body. And of course massage when I could get it.

Yes, I just sort of checked myself into my personally designed wellness/treatment spa for a year.

[Shallah Kali]

13. How about visulize/heal/transmute the Heck out of the Heck wherever that heck maybe?

And if anyone actually comes up with an effective method of visualizing butts off or at least the excess bits let me know!!!!

Tho who knows, maybe my heck like issues are stored there and healing the heck out of 'em will de-maximize my glutinous ;)

[Dover]

15. Sincere apologies my friend

I just realized, to use my own Mars/Uranus analogy, that I cut you off in traffic.....TWICE.....
as regards your prayer thread that was bubbling up like NO2 from the far reaches of our galaxy.
In fact I nearly ran you off the road! More than just 'klutzy', it was simply insensitive.
:hug: I'm sorry.

Hope you shot some choice words my way (with the windows rolled up of course)!


Welp, I hope that little demonstration was instructive for everyone. It was for me! Nothing teaches like experience. :blush:

[stellanoir]

26. Oh silly

Not to worry. No offense was taken whatsoever.

The choice words that you may have sensed were sent to a bumbling paramour. LOL

Thanks for remembering and thereby affirming my NO2 theory.

I've maybe only been mildly miffed in this cozy little forum a couple times in many years. It's nothing compared to having a prayer thread demoted from the greatest page to the lounge or even worse, into the bowels of the R & T forum only to get assaulted by the atheists who lurk there. Sheesh.

In as much as the Mars/Uranus can symbolize the trivial things I mentioned earlier, it also can portend breakthroughs and breakdowns. That's why I wondered if I could craft another prayer thread. Still not sure. It's been a while since I've done so. Will see if the words will come.

I just noticed that Mercury will oppose Neptune within three minutes of the Mars/Uranus opposition.

That's some powerful potential for breaking on through.

True Confession: Dancing with a slinky is one of my quirkier social behaviors. It's more goofy than erotic, a fun gimmick, and potentially a wondrous percussive device. I spiral it like a DNA coil and claim that I'm replicating again. Some rhythms are truly more slinkable than others.

Always love your contributions.

:grouphug:

[Dover]

28. Thanks Stella.

Break through....I like the sound of that. And the addition of Mercury/Neptune does sound like a wonderful energy for a prayer thread. I presume the DU Gods would receive it most gratefully and send it to the forum most in need of it....even..or especially...R&T.

You are a slinky woman!

[MorningGlow]

10. Ah, that explains it

My mom asked me to do something that would make me alter my schedule this week, and my nose got ALLLL out of joint. Luckily I didn't say anything a the time, but I was irked for about an hour afterward. But by the time I saw her again late this afternoon, common sense prevailed, and I agreed to help her out.

Very odd energy.

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. Too late.

I'd thought it time to take a stand for truth, but the monkey cage merely shrieks all the louder at such sounds.

[BlueIris]

27. It's alllll about the Bach's Clematis essence for me this week.

And before I started dosing with that stuff again, I didn't realize how uncentered I'd become. That's sad.

And God I just want to rip someone's lungs out. That can't be good.
