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.
