Thanks to a posting from Anonymous, I've discovered a comment you made back in July of last year asking if Progressed Sun in the second house had brought me any sudden windfalls. Er, no, would be the short answer, but the main point of this - with Mercury on the MC today - is to say thanks for the question and apologies for not seeing it before.
I only recently allowed comments, not because I didn't want them but because I didn't know it was possible (and also because I didn't think anyone was reading this), and even then didn't realize I could be notified by email if there was one, and your comment was made months before either of these realizations.
I answered it yesterday as soon as I saw it but, as I have two Google accounts and three computers set up in this apartment, wasn't logged in until five minutes ago to the correct account to approve my own posting before it was published, which I've just done. (There has to be a workaround for that, but I haven't found it yet.)
However, as I cleverly wrote my answer to appear on the post you responded to - written in February '09 - I would think chances you'll see it are pretty slim, although of course you could well be more blog savvy than me and have arranged somehow to be notified if you get a response.
At least in the future I'll know if a comment is posted and will be able to respond to it. I hope you'll get to see this and please know it makes my ever-hungry South Node in Capricorn very happy to know somebody reads this once in a while. And I love that name, BTW.

Snapshots
Natal Mercury in Aries solution for getting behind with posting:
Last Thursday, January 28: Mars sextile Uranus: exact at 1:30 pm as second collage class at Stanley Isaacs began: paired up with a partner, given digital camera by instructor and told to prowl around the center taking photos for group collage. Even more fun than line dancing.
Friday January 29: much anticipated Sun trine Uranus, full Moon with Mars: nothing. Working on Rupert play, working on Georgie, bed early with wild dreams about astrology charts: maybe not nothing.
Sunday January 31: Mercury square Sun: Rupert play, Georgie.
Monday February 1: Mercury trine Jupiter: Went to Rita's Needlepoint on 79th to buy embroidery silks, as requested by Silvery neighbor on Saturday. Remembered to take list of requested skein numbers and also address to mail them to; after buying went straight to post office, put in priority mail envelope and sent. Felt amazingly productive and self-satisfied.
Tuesday February 2: Venus conjunct Moon (in Aquarius): email from Silvery friend undergoing massive Pluto transit; have barely heard from her in last six months. Early Wednesday morning retrograde Mars conjunct Pluto - ("A ruthless burst of ego energy" ha ha) passes unnoticed. Must have been asleep.
Thursday February 4: Chiron square Ascendant exact: this deserves its own posting but I'm so enamored of this new catching up method it's not getting it, at least not right now; have been working on my Rupert play for weeks, often reducing myself to tears as I do so as it involves a painful childhood event transmuted into what I hope is art. Like everything else I write it's a black comedy, but this one's blacker and I hope funnier than anything I've written so far, details to come when it gets its own post. I have Jupiter trining Saturn right now, exact on Sunday night, and I need to make the most of it. Back to the tissues.

Sun opposed to Pluto, Mercury conjunct South Node
I never check aspects before I make plans, but almost wished I do when I realized what would be happening on this day. I'm working on a huge proofreading job - an oral history chock full of Russian nouns, people and places - and the client is adamant about keeping the tone of the non-native-English speaker's narrative. Getting him to let me delete one of the many if, ands, buts, whens, wases, wheres and such ones so on that get in the way of the sense of what's being described requires a long and detailed explanation of the reason for the deletion and infinite patience, not one of my stronger points but medication helps ha ha.
The true saving grace is that the client is a gentleman and a scholar from bygone days and we enjoy each other's company, so any struggle usually ends up with an exaggerated "whew!" from me and laughter from him as one more word bites the dust from the 600 page manuscript.
Once again I've waited far too long to write this post - it happened a week ago today and we're already three days into a new month - have completely lost interest in it and am not going to finish it. If I'd made New Year's resolutions one of them would have been to write this up every day, but fortunately I didn't.
