#3: Creating Lists
Having documentation for everything you haven’t done, plan to get done, or have already done is a must for any Virgo-ruled creature. This provides proof of creativity, practicality, and, most importantly, industry.

#2 Email Threads
You say you don’t have any record of our conversation back in April of ’06 and that I must be confused. Oh, you are sure that you said no such thing. Oh, now you just don’t remember. No? Doesn’t ring a bell, huh? BAM! Does this email thread spanning from March 29th, 2006 at 10:47am to April 8th, 2006 at 3:42pm jog your memory?

#1: Giving the Blank Stare
Everyone is running around in hysterics because a deadline has been changed from Friday, end of day, to Wednesday morning, even though the amount of time leading up to the date has been more than generous.

Mom and Dad are crying because Junior has been arrested for the same juvenile tricks he’s been pulling over and over again without parental reprimand.

Girlfriends are huddled around listening to “Jane” cry about how her relationship is so rotten and horrible and how mean and heartless “John” is for being the bastard he was when she met him.

Virgo Moon is quiet and resolute because you should have known better and paid attention to all the little warning signs that led up to the crisis. Crises can be avoided by being responsible, paying attention, and having a contingency plan.

I had to find out who my daemon is and Alvin is his name. Defined as Modest, Spontaneous, Fickle, Flexible, and Softly Spoken. But does it fit my Gem Ascendant and Virgo Sun/Moon? hmmm…I’ve got 12 days before it settles and need my friends to confirm or disagree.

it turns out that i had been using an incorrect time for my brother’s birth chart: i had him pegged as a pisces ascendant but instead he’s an aries ascendant! AND…the corrected birth time places his natal neptune conjunct the natal MC!

i always thought the pisces AC didn’t quite fit because he comes across so forcefully- even a bully at times but he’s got a chameleon-like personality which fools me on many occasions. sometimes, it’s hard for me to see who he really is because he can act like so many different things.

i guess it’s fitting that we are siblings: i have neptune on the DC; he has neptune on the MC. i deceive or get deceived in relationships; he deceives or gets deceived by his public persona and social status.

so, when i cast my lunar return for the current monthly cycle, i noticed that mercury is conjunct the MC and the moon is conjunct the AC. immediately, i thought, “oh, i must somehow be in the limelight for something- could be big, could be small, but i will be noticed this month.”

well, wouldn’t you know i was a lucky winner of a free year of healthcare at my job. i had attended a free health risk assessment back in march and the incentive was to enter into a chance to win free healthcare for a year. the human resources department told me that my name will be announced on their website, and in several internal newsletters and publications in the coming week.

yay! new moon in my 12th house and mars return within 1 day of each other. i couldn’t friggin sleep last night! i kept dreaming about a web link that wouldn’t go away and forced me to analyze its origins, in turn making me THINK while i was sleeping. i was conscious most of the night because i was mentally processing an imaginary web link. unreal!

i AM going to the gym after work today (well, i really, really, really, plan to go). i even bought a new pair of sneakers as an incentive, which i left home today because i was in a hurry but luckily i have a set of gym attire in my desk at work. (12th house undoing FOILED by previous good intentions!) oh and remember my dreams of studying drama? well, i met with the head of the theater arts program and she recommended a night class in acting that she teaches- now i just have to get accepted…

notable aspects of my mars return include:

1) mars in 3rd house:

• conjunct angle (IC- 3 degree orb)
• square moon (2 degree orb)

2) mars-ruled 12th house

• 12th house inhabited by 3 planets (venus- chart ruler, moon, sun) and part of fortune

3) mercury in angular (1st) house

• square saturn (1 degree orb)

4) neptune/n.node/chiron conjunction in angular (10th) house

5) venus (chart ruler) conjunct part of fortune in 12th house

• trine saturn (3 degree orb)
• trine pluto (4 degree orb)
  

6) natal uranus conjunct return angle (DC- 3 degrees)

i’ve got some life plans cooking but not finalized so we’ll see how this mars return reflects my actions over the next two years. i’ll have to remember to revisit this each time there is a major transit or aspect.

so, here i am on the brink of the full moon in scorpio (at the cusp of my 5th and 6th houses), occuring some time tomorrow morning, and i feel happy yet unfulfilled. music carries the magic of bringing me ecstacy while at the same time increasing my thirst and longing for more out of life.

at the new moon i had an epiphany and wondered about going back to school for drama. i am in the process of trying to find a way to realistically accomplish my dreams of being an entertainer- i am starting with getting face time with the theater department at the school where i work- we’ll see where that takes me.

so, apparently transiting mars is trining transiting uranus and my natal uranus. my progressed mars is also approaching a square (5 degree orb) with my natal uranus as well. my thing is, i never really notice mars transits or mars returns- perhaps it’s because:

1. aries is intercepted in my natal 11th;
2. my natal mars is in cancer;
3. mars only makes mild (sextile) aspects to my sun and mercury and separating aspects to my uranus and pluto (9 degree orb- trine and square respectively)

i guess mars and i have no beef with each other (no afflictions) and subsequently mars wants nothing to do with me because i’m not an enemy or threat. well, fuck you too Ares!

so, around the time of the new moon in aries in my natal 11th, i found myself in the company of my favorite childhood friends, and nurturing a long-held but latent ambition to apply to drama school. not to mention, i got weepy dreaming about life with a lost love and also with an actor who is basically a replica of said lost love.

well, i have started looking into the drama school thing but i’m wondering if i should start attending local auditions just to get an idea of how they are conducted. i’m at a point in my life where i am taking real, concrete steps to actualize my rampant fantasy-life that is forever running in the background of my mind (natal moon/neptune square, neptune conjunct DC).

it is interesting that the transiting north node and transiting neptune are hovering in a conjunction within1-2 degrees of my natal MC. i wonder if my natural hunger and longing for the endless and undying love that i crave from another person is pushing me to seek it from an adoring audience instead? (natal pluto in 5th, neptune on 7th cusp) maybe the love i seek is meant to be given 1,000 times over through creative performance?

i’m reminded of a scene from The Libertine:

at the moment, my progressed mercury is conjunct natal uranus, and both experiencing a trine from transiting uranus. also, today transiting mercury is conjunct transiting uranus- completing a wonderful pattern of planet harmony.

mercury rules my natal ascendant and uranus rules my natal midheaven so i love when these two come into contact with one another. recently, i have been overtaken by the urge to be on my computer ALL THE TIME!!! i started this blog, manage two others, and made a home page. i also have been having the time of my life organizing my company’s internal wiki.

lately, i’ve been entertaining the idea of pursuing a career in information technology- most likely web design and perhaps learning how to develop software. i’m wondering if this interest will fade once the transits are over or if this is just an awakening to something that i will enjoy for years to come. i’m hopeful it’s the latter as technology is rapidly changing and i don’t think i could ever get bored with this wonderful world of global communication via the web.
