I just noticed that the Virgo Moon is exactly opposite Uranus, and in a yod with Mercury (in Aries) and Chiron/Neptune (in Aquarius). This is supposed to be high-voltage astrology, and I’m wondering how you’re experiencing it.

paletiger/Hazel,
I really appreciate your kindness, thank you.
It may not be entirely my fault, that is true. I do believe that there was an atmosphere created by the owner and manager where it was easy to feel as though much was being hidden or that we were being taken advantage of, and I wasn’t the only one who felt it. They did little to provide information, perhaps in hopes that everyone would just sign and not question anything, which I personally know that at least one did as she thanked me later for bringing things to her attention.
I just re-read what I sent to others and it really wasn’t that bad, but it could lead others to question the motives of the owner and probably did. And in the owner’s mind, that was being divisive, accusatory, and planting seeds in others’ minds – I can see her point and that was what I felt bad about and what I whole-heartedly apologized for.
I recently spoke to yet another employee who feels like they weren’t up front and her paycheck has been dramatically reduced and she’s upset because she needs that money as she’s providing for her mother. So she’s waiting to see what happens July 1 when the orientation period is over and whether or not she’ll get a pay increase. I didn’t even know that there was one.
So there just seemed/seems to be too much effort on their part to keep people as informed as little as possible. Maybe I’m too much of an idealist as I did have ideas about how such a transition should occur, first and foremost being given information so there’s no surprises!
Would I do it again? I think so but I would be much more careful about how and I would have consulted and talked to someone else about how I was raising the issue just to get an objective viewpoint. I didn’t do that. I could have raised the point that we shouldn’t be paid less without suggesting that they were likely benefiting somehow monetarily, perhaps in the tax arena, because why else would a business make such a drastic change if it’s not to affect their bottom line (right?). And if they were benefiting, why wasn’t that rolling downhill because our pay is being cut, not increased. Those things didn’t have to be said in that way; there was no proof.
Oh, and hopefully I’d handle much better any transit that tends to make things foggy and hazy for me so I can think clearer before I do act.
Thank you again for your kind words and encouragement, and best wishes to you, and also in the work that you do. It sounds challenging just in my own recent experience, but then, they didn’t hire someone like you. 🙂
Moonrose – I’m so taken with your story – not least because of your awareness, honesty and willingness to take some responsibility for what has occurred. I really feel for you – what a situation. As someone who works with corporate and government organisations who wish to introduce some openness and transparency within their culture, I empathise with your dillemma. You may not have done (entirely) the wrong thing. Your boss had choices (along side you). It is true that it may all be in the ‘how’ – and I think that you seem aware of that. You have put your hand up for where you believe you have screwed up – it is a pity that your boss has not done the same.
I wish you very, very well for the present and future. Someone is going to be very lucky to employ you. Warmest regards, Hazel.
Well, yeah moonrose, with Saturn rx over 16-15 Virgo, no doubt your Pluto/Uranus are the stars of the show! Still think the opposition of trans. Pholus to your Juno was activated when you spoke out to the owner. Juno doesn’t tolerate unfairness & when you felt your company was “taking advantage” of you and your fellow workerbees, I bet she was the voice(Gemini) for the (usually) unconscious energies of Pluto and Uranus(square your Juno). Although those big boys were somewhat contained by t. Saturn, it’s better to get it (unconscious energies) out in the open, don’t you think? I bet it IS your tendency to take up the sword with that combo in that sign! A very valuable healing tool you got there.
Also, sounded like Chiron might be involved – at least for your boss/owner – when you let him know that you and your co-workers were on to his double-speak tricks. He needs to be aware that not all employees will roll over and accept his lying and that he should create an atmosphere of trust for them. Saturn is representing your boss/owner because he suppressed your truth, but I’m convinced you needed this freedom. Watch to see what happens at the up-coming Uranus/Saturn opposition. And good luck with your next income-producing adventure. In next month’s full moon, the sun will trine your Pluto/Uranus and the moon will sextile it. Time for transformation! Let us know how that works out.
bkoehler,
I have no planets in Sag and as for your other question the closest my chart holds is Ceres at almost 9 degrees and Juno at almost 13, both in Gemini. Pluto and Uranus are both at 16 degrees in Virgo, likely more relevant.
Oh yes, the dust settled quickly and I was pretty dumbfounded with myself. Getting past that quickly though and not getting stuck in it, which is an improvement for me. How to turn this into a positive is where I’m working… just not sure yet how that’s going to show up or where to take it.
Regarding being my own boss, I have a no-compete clause for three months first of all. And that option is less appealing simply because folks need for the most part 5 days a week reliable coverage and availability for other times too. There’s no shortage of walker options in my neighborhood and people do gravitate to companies rather than individuals for that reason. Walkers can take time off and the dogs are still covered. It’s win-win.
I appreciate your input and hope you are feeling more and more grounded.
moonrose – The centaur Pholus came to mind when I read your story. “. .fast moving changes, or rapid transformations, typically initiated by one’s own action.” is descriptive of his effect (see en dot wikipedia dot org/wiki/pholus). He is at 12+ Sagittarius right now; do you have any planets near there or in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces at 10-14 degrees? Also, a popular phrase associated with Sagittarius is “open mouth, insert foot” which could be relevant. You seemed to have grasped the seriousness of your action pretty quick though, and wonder why you couldn’t be your own boss and walk the neighborhood dogs. If you liked doing it, then the dogs must like you, and their owners must trust you too.
I found these responses quite interesting, and after talking to a few folks in the neighborhood, it seems almost everybody has recently been down with something (sick), irritable, or worn out or dizzy. . .like most of us here (except for ce french and awordedgewise!) Hope we all are feeling a little more normal by now, or at least will by Easter.
my final frakking blowout/down-melt hit sunday, it’s been shock and recovery since. kind of feeling that paradox of it’s all over and all beginning. center of the storm?
I’ve had a rough few days and created a fuss at work that resulted in losing my position.
A transition was occurring within the company moving the workerbees from contractor status to employee status. There was very little information given and in talking to a few others, it seemed and felt as though the company was taking advantage of us because what we were told several months ago (little would change) and what happened when the day came didn’t match up. There was a reduction in pay and how we were paid that wasn’t revealed until we were given new contracts to sign, and then only revealed and explained when we followed up and questioned it. I requested another group meeting and they resisted wanting to handle each person individually which only added to the feeling of something being hidden. Plus, a co-worker knows the company’s accountant and so had privileged information that the company benefitted quite a bit by changing our status. But, that benefit didn’t roll down hill, and that made us feel cheated.
So, as can be my tendency, I took up a sword to save the day and fell on that very sword. Basically, I questioned their motives and integrity and then broadcasted that to my fellow employees. Not such a good idea. And when I met with the very upset owner and was given my walking papers clarity and the weight of my actions finally set in shortly after. I deeply regret my actions and harmful words. The owner and manager really do care about their employees and had always been understanding and flexible and accommodating to my needs in the few months I’d been there. And I really liked that job (walking dogs in my neighborhood).
What didn’t help matters, I think, is that there’s very little human contact between anyone in the company. Our schedule is online, our manager communicates online, and we don’t have meetings or gatherings. I think for me that attributed to my forgetfulness that there were people, actual people, that were going to be affected by my actions and words.
It felt as though I had to go to battle but the battle was with a figment of my imagination and based little in reality. I’ve been working on not letting other people whisper their BS and complaints in my ear, and when they do, not letting it cause me to take on their issues or create my own. I wasn’t successful in this situation because there really was a sense of ulterior motives and hidden agendas, and I wasn’t the only one experiencing this, though I was the only one to try and bring it to light. My methods are what went wrong, and I lost sight of the bigger picture and clarity of the situation. And the bummer of it all is that there was a moment when I hesitated and then I plowed forward anyway to save the day that didn’t really need to be saved. I wonder if self-sabotage applies.
And as I was composing this email to my fellow employees, I felt myself puff up in self-righteousness and I didn’t catch it as such at the time. That sucks.
There really are times when my vision and clarity is very very fuzzy and foggy and this was certainly one of them. And I always seem to be able to feel the haze lift, which in this case was soon after my meeting with the owner of the company.
Apologies helped but in the end I still lost a job I very much enjoyed. That too sucks.
And it leaves me wondering if I’ll ever experience the higher qualities and tendencies of my chart, as I seem to exemplify the lower aspects.
Other items are that, more than usual, I’ve been dreaming a lot more, thinking a lot more, in my head a lot more and having difficulty sleeping my typical 7-9 hours. My emotions are raw and yesterday and today I’ve been on a little emotional rollercoaster processing the events of the last few days I expect, or at least that contributes.
This too shall pass, right?
All Im doing today is research and laundry…everything else can wait.
Yesterday I admitted that I am physically, mentally and emotionally drained, the pressure has been slowly building since January and this last month has been hell, the work pressure of having two jobs, working with an inflexible colleague in one of them who doesn’t see me as an equal, then the other job I have completely felt out on a limb trying to get the students through their modules that I teach, it’s not that I have difficulty doing my job…I love teaching and enjoy the rapport as well as getting some great work from my students, it’s more about putting out the fires that surrounded me to be able to do the best in my job. The stress of also trying to juggle a course that I’m studying got to me and having time to do it.Then I developed problems with my tenant not paying rent, my relationship also broke down these last 3 weeks with my girlfriend, partly due to my stress and I somehow felt disconnected from her and she had problems with it too, the thing is we were so in love a month and a half ago, I could feel it move me in the most profound way.
Today it seems a different tale, I’ve been wanting to go away for years on my own, to experience the universe and all it has to offer but haven’t had the funds due to having debts to pay off, I want to travel the world for a year sometime in the future but until then I’ll create smaller waves. I checked my funds and thought “Fuck it, it really is time to do something for myself, my soul needs nourishment God Dammit!” so I booked up China, going on adventure tour for 11 days and I’m so looking forward to it and to encounter the Great Wall, the people, the food, the smells! It will be ace!
As for my ex and I, she got in touch today, missing me like mad, I miss her too, gonna meet up tomorrow to talk.
after a weekend of being sick with a cold of some sort, and doing lots of self-care, i have been working just as hard as ever, while the cold hangs on for dear life.
so all of my moods seem to be tempered by this physical thing happening. at work, where i normally get stressed out and angry, i have remained calm, calm, calm. the storm continues to fly around me but i am choosing to remain grounded when possible.
otherwise, learning to love in a new way, someone who is far away and in a different place, but who is remaining in contact and closer, in some ways, than ever before. interesting.
jealousy reared its head today, but the calm remains, and the urgency to “do something” is minimal.
all pretty weird for me. i am pretty excitable. this is strange. like i am not worried when i normally would be.
listening to Patti Smith really loud
feeling like a sponge soaking up all the emotions everywhere around, replacing me
time to go be alone and paint

Physically: the past few days light-headed, dizzy. Today I feel much more energized and ravenously hungry (for food, and sex).
Emotionally: the past few days haven’t been overly difficult for myself, but I had several people close to me seek my input into their relationship problems, personal fears, thinking of making life-changing changes…last night I went to bed thinking, “what craziness is spinning around the universe?” Today has been much more introspective for myself…enigmatic smiling.
Doing so very well. Never been better. Renewed clarity. Renewed energy. Finding Joy and Happiness that I have never been able to experience in all my life.
Clearing all kinds of junk out like never before. Working with Feng Shui and the Art of “Get Rid of It” like crazy. Stuff and other people’s baggage and my own BS.
New art projects flourishing fast and furious — the old ones are done and out’o’here. Creative business projects beginning to get more specific/solid.
Everytime I “forget” and eat wheat I get SICK – like my whole life reverts back to sick mind, sick body, can’t function, can’t think, etc. So weird. But hey, whatever it takes.
I am so excited about Now. I am so excited about What Is To Come.

😉
Today I feel very alert, full of energy, have a lot of ideas and thoughts running through my head. I feel better today – physically, my tummy was hurting-bad food.
It has actually been quiet at work, the bothersome coworker is out today, one of the bosses is kinda bitchy-but he stays in his office and doesn’t give it away. The clients are a little anxious, mostly to do with the economy and not having money.
I would really rather be home in my studio working on a new piece I got in my head. So in the meantime, my restless spirit studies art and soul work on the internet when the boss isn’t looking, satisfying my craving for an inner dialogue with my soul.
bk:
Don’t know about worrying about everyone else, but I have noticed a huge uptick in the desire to go to bed early and stay there!!
Now, THAT could just be spring fever.
Well, this old girl is grateful (and relieved) to find out she’s not the only one who’s been dizzy/lightheaded and listless for the last few days. Now I can worry about all of you and not just myself. Is it the potent energy or spring fever or is there a bug goin’ round?
Been feeling very clogged and ery worried (about various things) for the past few days. Today, have been feeling on and off hypoglycaemic, rubbery legged, shaky in an undefinable sense.
Situations still are around me but am feeling tonight that things are going to be all right – whatever happens, things will be all right.
Have also been going though a process of feeling ‘pulled apart’, but today feel like the heavy energy I’ve been wading through has lightened considerably…
Eric et al.
I woke this morning with chills and dizziness. I fell asleep last night wondering how I could get all my work done. My 6th house is in Aries. I’m feeling pressure from my demanding day job. And, pressure to get the re-design of my website underway. Even though I feel dizzy I just called a web designer anyway.

ps… I was not at all surprised when news of the Italian earth quake came through. All of last week, in conversation, my friends and I kept coming back to the metaphor of feeling as if the ground was shifting under our feet. I often find when this type of energy is strong it finds expression in some natural disaster.
For me I’ve felt a kind of ‘call of the wild’. I want to be somewhere in nature, somewhere earthy and green. Not that it might not still be chaotic there too – both internally and externally – but it would make more sense than trying to deal with it on a train or bus or being pushed around on a crowded street or in an office full of people in various states of (un)consciousness. I’m having to concentrate very hard on the tasks at hand and to honor that by curtailing my usual level of multi-tasking (which may be a blessing in disguise). My dreams have been intense and I wake up hot and exhausted. The only thing that makes it better is seeking grounding in my body more than in my mind; walking, swimming, sex – all good; reading newspapers, books, doing accounts – like swimming through treacle.
It’s been a strange week for human contact. I’ve lost all patience with those who are up their own arses – completely insensitive to what I perceive as some very powerful energy flying around. I want to be close to home with my nearest and dearest (I’ve noticed that my teenage son, though he is not much interested in astrology, has naturally upped his physical activity). I’d like to be with my boyfriend who feels this kind of energy so strongly but can’t/won’t yet make sense of it in an energetic sense. But yesterday, out of the blue he started complaining of dizziness and listlesness, cancelled a date we were (I think) both looking forward to and headed home to be on his own. Today he’s complained of not being able to concentrate at all. Two other people I know, and whom I consider quite sensitive, are also complaining of being light-headed/dizzy – worse if they try to move too fast or have to go somewhere crowded.
All I can say is: Yikes!…
Pulled apart – yes – blown apart. yesterday was worse. I have that awful feeling that something bad will happen, but it already did in Italy so I don’t know if there is more to come. Need to remain centered and still.
Peace & Love
On lunch break, at home, which is very nice, but today is a disaster as the person whose job I am taking over pulled one last trick – per our agreement, she was to do reminder calls, as I was training the other new person yesterday, even though I am the new person too, the old person didn’t do her job nor alert me which she could have done all day from 10-4pm. So, this morning’s schedule fell apart, as I trusted her to have done her part or at least tell me. One of the providers looked at me and said, ‘well, i should just go home since no one is showing up, i’m loosing so much money not seeing patients, this is a disaster.’ Okay, I have an issue with that attitude, though I do appreciate partly where the comment is coming from, but hey, I’ve been letting them know for a while that this person is dishonest, so I am not taking it personally. Though it sucks.
I’m home for lunch instead of staying for the pizza goodbye party because I feel all the energies, but do not want to be in vortex of emotion of a childish person, who made her OWN choice btw, commit shadow violence on the doctors, me and the new person.
Things will get better by next week, but yesterday and today and tomorrow a true challenge!
Eric,
As before, so again. Kindly just keep putting the truth out. Some will get it, others won’t.
Be well,
Bob
Oh, and yes to the exhaustion (Maya) and push-pull (Fe), not to mention the retro Venus “cut off from the herd” experience. Are we having fun yet?
Checking on planets at time I woke from dream this AM, the yod at that time was from T Moon midpoint to T Saturn (conj my Neptune) with T Sun, and T Jupiter, Nessus midpoint. A short shift with the passage of time to your yod of Moon (opp Uranus), Mercury and Chiron/ Neptune.
I woke with the thought/awareness that human body is to spiritual body what automobiles are to humans. Treat them well and they will last a long time, but when “worn out”, release it and get a new one. Or, “no big deal” to spirit to exchange bodies. (maybe even something to look forward to!)
This stemmed from waking with an attempt to find ways to balance the attention one gives to the spiritual body and to the human body. The realization that even with 100% attention to the physical (exercise, nutrition, avoidance, etc.) at the expense of the spiritual, would still require releasing the material body. And that means giving at least 50% of attention (consciousness) to the spirit/soul self to be balanced in the “real” world.
And that means it’s okay to eat some chocolate once in a while. I consider that pretty high-voltage!
I’ll second the short fuse. And maybe third and fourth as well.
Also, just completely and utterly exhausted, like before my anemia was diagnosed. But that’s just from getting short circuited by my daughter’s slumber party this weekend, which was just an atom bomb’s worth of energy in my house all at once. A gaggle of 12 year old girls for 18 straight hours should be illegal under the Geneva Convention. Still, I’m glad I was able to give her that – completely worth it. And I have a newfound respect for my mom and the parents that let me and my friends stay over at their houses so often without even letting on about feeling decimated afterward.
Good side: noticing the blind spots where I put myself last and beginning to correct it, figuring out where I need to make sure I matter as much as everybody else is. The whole system just became clear to me all at once yesterday. That seems to fit the bill pretty well….
Eric:
I feel pulled apart as if quartered.
All around, its been so far a strange week. I feel as though I’m being pushed and pulled in opposing directions, mentally and emotionally. My fuse is short and wants to go off. Another part of me accepts that patience is required.
I’m having to correct alot of mistakes and eating crow at work. Also you’re quite right on about the victimology aspect of late, which I experienced internally but did not act on, thankfully. No one would have had the patience to deal with me.
What seems to save me? The plans to work on my next writing project. Its keeping me calm.
