New Moon in my 1st house: Introducing Saturn (and Pluto) Girl | A Question of Mindfulness
← Full Moon on my Sun: Birthing pangs, or won’t things just get a move on already?!
Mars retrograde in Leo: It’s clobberin’ time! →
Well, yesterday, I found out from a mutual friend that Mr Ex had in fact re-married two to three years ago. So what the sick f*** was he doing angling after me these past two to three years? The last email message from him (‘Hi, what are your holiday plans? I still think about you…’ and so on) in fact came in a day before I heard the news. I had planned to ignore the email, as I have been doing in the past, but I did some thinking today, and sought some advice, and decided that ignoring these leeches was what was giving them the space to crap on. Spurred on by the recent assertions of several astro-blogging friends, including Neeti Ray, and Donna Cunningham, I realised that silence was no longer an option.
I decided to speak, and did, but not in anger, as I would’ve been wont to do when I was much younger (and less wise…). Angry words weren’t going to help, because anger denoted engagement, and anger was going to be too easily typified as the lunatic rantings of a madwoman. At any rate, I am unable to speak the anger I no longer feel. What I did feel was cold, even numb, so I channelled that feeling into a business-like, even bland, note (Mercury is preparing for a retrograde in Capricorn now) acknowledging the news I’d heard and simple congratulations. Nothing more needed to be said.
I wanted not to engage, but to deflect and detach. I no longer wished to be ‘right’ and win the moral high ground, I just want to be left the energy and space for more worthwhile pursuits. Another prod came by way of Elsa P.’s post on the Venus-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn that will take place shortly after Christmas:
Invest in and protect your valuable relationships and for Godsakes quit throwing money (energy of all kinds) into people and things who siphon resources and offer no return.
That is my plan beginning with this new moon which in my 1st house represents the start of my cosmic new year, with the help of the upcoming Mars retrograde in my 8th house of other people’s resources. Pluto is transiting my 1st house too, with Saturn transiting the 10th. It is time to own my power (Pluto) and yet channel it responsibly (Saturn). So, for the record, as of today, I am sticking up a sign on my psychic porch saying: Sick fucks, KEEP OUT.
Friends and well-wishers are, of course, most welcome.

Print more of those signs so that I can have one too.
I personally think having transiting Saturn-Pluto in angular houses like you do will give you so much energy. You won’t just establish better boundaries- people will RESPECT those boundaries. For serious.
(I’m so glad you’re back!!!!)

Oh YES!! Excellent tactic – the less energy behind the message the better. I learned that dealing with ridding myself of a Scorpio leech over the course of many years. Wasn’t it dear Donna C who had a post on the pitfalls of “being right?” Now that Pluto is out of Sagittarius, maybe we’ll all be so busy staying afloat we won’t have time to indulge in being right.
Yes, I second Lucy’s motion! So glad to have you back posting again.🙂

Thanks, all. Oh good grief, I should’ve known that wasn’t the end of that. Follow up post coming up. The whole thing may still blow up in my face at the lunar eclipse in Cancer conjunct my natal Mars at the end of the year, but hey I don’t care! Time to clear the debris.

Sometimes, you just gotta blow it sky high. Yeehaw!

Wow! This is SO spot on for me. Saturn and Pluto are hitting my moon (Saturn conjunct, Pluto square) and transiting angles (well, now Saturn is prolly in my 5th as my moon is at the very tail end of the 4th). I was just promising myself yesterday that as the Who used to say “We don’t get fooled again.” — I have to stop wasting time and energy of people who aren’t reciprocal. Thanks so much for your post and I’ll read Elsa’s as well.

Hi Diane, thanks. I think many of us need to keep reminding ourselves of this. Just discovered an interesting blog post called ‘Who’s Garbage is in Your Bag and Why are You Still Carrying It?’
