So, these past few days, I've slowly been coming out of my depressive funk, partly because I've been making a positive effort in my life to fix the things that aren't going how I want them to and partly because, of course, the Sun is making its way out of Libra, my opposing sign. There was a really negative aspect going on with the Sun and myself for a while and I can feel the tension melting away.

This is a real logical explanation, isn't it? But in any case, while some people go to Jesus, some to yoga class, and some to the bar when they are feeling down, I prefer to look to the stars. Call me a new-age, disillusioned Pagan, but is thinking that the stars somehow influence our lives any different really than believing that this dude lives in the stars and controls our life? We all need our bit of irrationality.

Anyway, I've discovered some great new ways to do chart interpretations, that have allowed me to progress greatly from looking up the answers in my little purple book and trying to reconstruct the statements so I don't plagiarize. What I found is that Uranus has a huge impact on my chart. (Yes, I know, Uranus is always going to be funny.) So far, I have figured out that I will become increasingly more eccentric and shocking as I grow older. So watch out. By age 60, I will be spewing conspiracy theories off the starboard side of my boathouse, going in only to work on the explosive detonators to place at the bottom of Lake Lochness to blow Nessy out of the water.

If anyone is interested in finding out which planets are strong in their charts, send me an e-mail with your info (birthday and time, place) and I'll get right on it. I am not putting my e-mail address here, because I figure if I want to hear from you, you already have my address.

And congrats to those that got the ND reference.
