Everything in 11

Is that enough of an excuse for not having posted for almost two weeks? Works for me. What with Spanish class on Mondays, Playwrights Unite on Wednesdays and Drama Workshop with Frank AND Line Dancing with Vera on Thursdays, plus of course transcribing from home whenever there's work and trying (not nearly hard enough) to finish Just For You before I go to Spain in two weeks, keeping up-to-date with everydayastrology has fallen by the wayside. I mean, by the time you've gotten up, made coffee, read the Silver City Sun-News online, played marbles with the cat and gone out to get raspberries from the fruit man on the corner, the day's shot.

I've still been going to Astrodienst (the only site that I pay money for to subscribe to, pardon my syntax) once a week, and jotting down daily transits in my 2009 engagement book, but there's been no correlation of events and transits - no as above/so below - powerful enough to get me on here posting. Is that because Neptune's squaring my Ascendant and I'm off in dreamland somewhere? Is astrology losing its grip on me after 12 years? Presumably not, as here I am writing this.

Do I feel so good because it's nearly spring, I haven't worn my winter coat for weeks and I'm going to see my sister in Spain in two weeks, or is it because the Progressed Sun has just moved into the second house for me and finally, at the age of 63 very nearly 64, I'm happy and content to be what and who I am and supremely grateful for all of it? Is my sister-in-law here on a week's vacation from England because my Progressed Moon just went into Cancer, or it is Venus retrograde that puts her in my life after seven years? Am I putting the Sweet Pea out to play on the fire escape because I have an Aquarius Moon natally or does he have everything in Five at the moment?

Of all the questions, that's one I'll never know the answer to. I brought him home from the shelter in Silver City on April 4th last year, and all they could tell me about him was he was somewhere around nine months old, which would make him a Cancer. That fits perfectly, as he (almost) always stays around the house in Silver and hasn't strayed far on the fire escape, not that he can as I only just realized there's no ladder down and if there ever were a fire, God forbid, I would have to stand out there and hope someone came and got me before the building fell down.

Anyway, thanks to Astrodienst, I know that apart from all the ego losses I'm supposed to be undergoing right now, my next upcoming transit, other than lunar ones which even I am not obsessive enough to track, will be at 3:45 am on Thursday, when the Sun will oppose Chiron for me. So far, I have no plans for Wednesday. More later.
