Mars Opposed to Moon II

Well, the Fawlty Towers O'Reilly builders, as my sister called them, did come back the next day and they did bring a new mirror. They also brought a piece of molding for the French doors, which they nailed (!) on with most of it on the door itself and very little of it sticking out beyond the door to mask the one inch gap, so there's still light coming through a three-quarters of an inch space between the doors: they hung the mirror without breaking it again, didn't put on the support screws they told me they would,  and without being asked, reinforced the platform the mattress sits on so that the cabinet I have sideways underneath it no longer opens, but I was so eager to get them out the door I didn't even notice this until I'd paid a bill twice more than I thought it would be and said lovely, thanks, couldn't be happier, please go away and never come back.

Since then I've begun to turn out every closet and cupboard and closet in this apartment, dragged into the apartment two of the bookcases Mr. Gem brought down to my floor, dragged down to the trash for throw-out night two of the bookcases I couldn't use and begun to throw out everything in this apartment I haven't used for a year - most of it.

But the day Mars opposed natal Moon exactly (and 24 hours before the Sun squared Jupiter) was the day I finally plucked up energy/courage/was motivated enough whatever you want to call it and was able to take myself off to the senior center five blocks from my apartment for line dancing, something I've been saying I "want" to do since I got back almost three months ago.

And of course I walked right into the middle of a rehearsal for the Holiday Show, was promptly corralled as a member of the chorus, and Frank, head of the drama group I went to last winter when I was here, pounced on me to tell me it had to be Kismet because another of his drama groups downtown was doing a reading of one of my short plays, That Is What I Did, that afternoon. (This was scheduled to happen while I was here last year, but with apologies to Dave Barry who always likes to say that he is not making things up, one of the actors at that time in the three-character play got pneumonia, one of them died and the other one went to the funeral.)

So, with Mars opposed to natal Moon, I took myself off after rehearsal (involving many assorted women in a low-income housing project - natal Moon in Aquarius) to another senior center downtown and watched a truly credible performance of my seven-page play, which got a great reception and much laughter, just as I would have hoped.

So now, with Mars going retrograde on the 20th of December, I intend to take special notice of the days when Mars opposes the Moon again - December 30th for this year - and see if there is any correlation between what happens on that date and what happened on the tenth.
