...with, of course, the Sun sextile natal Mars: end of the year, end of the decade and even though I've been telling myself for a month that I'd wait till January 3, 2010, when I'll be in a new billing statement on my credit card, I was online two hours before the eclipse adding more air miles to my total and buying Io Edition, an astrology program I've been lusting after for years, ever since Apple switched to OS X and my pirated version of Io for System 9 no longer worked.
It does one thing I used to love that no other program for the Mac does, which is print out a dated list of transits for whatever period you give it; I always used to do it January 1 to December 31 of the coming year, which is exactly what I did as soon as Edition was downloaded and installed. This way I can look at one piece of paper and see just when Saturn is going to square natal Saturn and conjunct natal Neptune, and also when the dreaded Pluto opposed to Saturn square Neptune will occur. Knowledge is power, ha ha, and all that.
So at 11:37 on New Year's Eve I'm not going to write about how appropriate it was that when Mars retrograde opposed natal Moon earlier in the week I was painting the two by fours the Keystone Cops used to frame the archway for the French doors they installed at the first opposition, or that with Mercury square the Sun early tomorrow I spent all day today that I wasn't playing with Io sending electronic New Year Cards to all the people I didn't send Christmas cards to - everyone I know, that is.
There was a partial lunar eclipse close to the degree of today's on December 30, 2001. That was a couple of days after I'd been told by my supervisor to take time off work because of poor performance after 9/11. Since then I've fought with two insurance companies for a settlement, bought a house in New Mexico with a friend, bought him out four years later, had several plays published and one produced, started playing tennis and line dancing and am on my third cat. In a nutshell, that is.
Okay. It must be midnight. The fireworks are going off outside. Happy New Decade.
