Gerald and Hayley, oh and Michelle too!

I'm sure he purposely left you off since you haven't been around much lately. All that cavorting around with Lionel's clay head. You hussy.

I didn't really know how to respond on this thread, other than tell Tower I think he's great. But I can relate to a lot of what he said...I guess we all can.

My strategy when I get cranked out (which, thankfully, doesn't include getting cranked "on" anymore) is to make my world smaller. Shut out everything that is making it hard to be happy, or at peace. Sometimes that means my world is really small and consists of two cats and a television. Sometimes, like lately as I'm feeling quite optimistic these days, my world gets bigger and I do things like take chances and meet a bunch of new people in Vegas, and I read the paper because I find hope, and...etc.

Well, I know what I'm saying, but can't articulate it.

This is part of what I was saying. I get it.

Ryan, I thought what you said was very well expressed.

Sagittarius is my midheaven as well and yes, I am weak in fire. The only fire signs on my chart are Aries in Jupiter and the aforementioned Sagittarius. My moon and my ascendant are both Pisces. Oy.

That's right, I remember thinking that was a nice combination. You'll be all nice and sweet, gain everyone's goodwill, be very approachable and sympathetic seeming...and then....POW! Capricorn them! Just kidding, but i do think that is a nice combination. It combines intuition and ambition really well. And of course, Sagittarius is the best midheaven...

I just read this, so I decided to post it since we were talking about it. It isn't incredibly deep, but it has its informative moments.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Part Two

It’s a stop/start, push/pull, should/shouldn’t sort of week, so don’t be surprised if you or yours feel discombobulated or disorientated by the air of uncertainty. Nothing is as it was and what’s new hasn’t even started to settle into what will be. We’re on the threshold of a new Jupiter cycle, which means many of us are caught in the thrall of the “new,” mesmerized by the possibilities and not thinking about the long-term consequences of our choices. What’s more, because the signature of this new Jupiter cycle is highly optimistic, it is possible to get swept away by the tides wishful thinking. I’m not suggesting a negative stance—not at all—I’m simply advising a thoughtful attitude that realistically considers as many options as possible.

Jupiter entered Sagittarius, its Home Sign, on Thanksgiving, and will stay in Sagittarius for approximately one year. Always larger than life, Jupiter enjoys facilitating a broad perspective and a wide view. Significantly, Jupiter returns to Sagittarius for the last full year of Pluto’s journey through Sagittarius, a transit that began in January 1995 and starts to end in January of 2008.

Sagittarius is the Sign of synthesis; symbolized by the Archer/Centaur, who aims for the stars, as he is simultaneously rooted to the earth in a body, half human and half horse. The Archer represents the urge to unite instinct with reason and intuition with intellect. All spiritual and philosophic traditions fall within the domain of Sagittarius and its Ruling Planet, Jupiter. Together, Sagittarius and Jupiter hold all the stories humans have told to give meaning to existence. And that includes religion—its practice, as well as its dogma.

Pluto always examines—no, make that exhumes—the underbelly of a Sign, and because Sagittarius is about spiritual diversity, its shadow can be seen as rigid adherence to a belief systems—a one way and one way only attitude. It’s no astrological accident that since Pluto, the Prime Mover of Transformation, has been transiting Sagittarius we have been confronting the certainty of fundamentalism. Pluto’s journey through Sagittarius has also made it abundantly clear that we are a global community and what happens to one happens to the many.

As this new cycle unfolds, use Jupiter in Sagittarius to expand your perspective. Yes, Jupiter symbolizes excess and yes, again, we are sure to experience exaggeration of every size. But sometimes life needs to be lived large. Jupiter also signifies the capacity to laugh at life’s ironies and to live life joyously. So when possible, allow yourself the pleasure of laughter and the sound of a happy heart."
