Lucy – You’re so right. Ironically, I hated pink until tr. Pluto started opposing my natal Venus; now, I can’t get enough of it. (Plus, oh-so-flattering to the over-40 complexion.) Fortunately I’m married to a Libra with a Taurus Moon, and pink doesn’t scare him a bit. Ruffles, though… that would be a deal breaker. Thank God I hate them too.

Painting the living room pink might actually be GOOD for your marriage, now that everybody’s on this huge feng shui kick. But from my observation, I’ve always noticed that the happiest marriages take place in houses where it doesn’t look like one of the partners doesn’t even live there. Case in point: a thirty-two-year-old married woman does not need fifty stuffed animals on the master bed and every room to be painted pink or purple. They got divorced. Or: a man in his fifties, no matter how immature and d-baggish he might actually be, will get ornery if he has to constantly push frilly kitchen witches and embroidered pillows out of his way. They too got divorced.

My parents’ bedroom is a very, very, very dark berry pink with sponged reddish tones in it and dark oak and cherry wood pieces. They are both Tauruses, and they are NOT divorced.

leslee – what a great story! Well, not great for him – but you know what I mean. He was luckier than TV pitchman Billy Mays, who died just before an eclipse triggered the same natal aspect. And what an intriguing dream about your family; sure does fit the Cancer symbolism – family, wanting to hold on, even crying.

Maria – I can’t believe the difficulty you’re having in finding and buying a house! I would have thought in this alleged “buyer’s market” that you could have bought two or three by now. Why are all these sellers so… deranged?

Best Fiction – It’s really nice to see you, you’re been gone too long. I’m really sorry about your parents; certainly fits the symbolism of tr. Pluto opposing your Venus, doesn’t it? I’m having the same aspect and when I saw it coming, I was afraid for my marriage; instead, we’re getting along better than ever and I’m thinking about painting the living room pink. Go figure.

The eclipse landed on my bf’s Mars square his Sun. He got trapped in his building’s elevator and had to kick his way out!

Eclipse was in my 12th house. Dreamed dreams about my family of origin. In one, I had short notice to go pack up stuff from my parents house because they were moving or else they’d just throw it all out. It was too much to do in such a short time span and I was sobbing in my sleep at the prospect of it. No idea what that all means! But eclipse in Cancer in the 12th sure fits.

Eclipse: came and went with a whimper, even though it’s in my 9th. Some friends not so lucky and plagued with bad house news. Oh…well…there was the offer I made on yet another goddamned condo. This one I had to write a letter to the owner explaining why I wanted the condo, so I wrote a very silly letter from the POV of their adorable cat who took a shine to me during the walk through. Hee!

I’m glad someone is blogging about over-snacking. My Venus is in the early degrees of Cancer, and lately I’ve noticed now much I’ve been eating…I’m becoming a stuffed crab!

Yesterday’s eclipse fell within a degree of my natal Moon, and I’m looking at what seems like Round 2 of my parents’ strange divorce. I may have to get an Airstream also!

Hope your vacation from the Internet goes well…most people I know (myself included) could definitely use one!

I am so there. So very, very there.

And of course there is the airstream trailer that has food sticking out of the top of it.

And of course, now I want oatmeal…

Oh jeez… I guess I better not show you this: http://www.fliphappycrepes.blogspot.com/. Food IN an airstream trailer! (Really good food, I might add.)

An Internet vacation never hurt anybody, I don’t think. There is a lot of nonsense to sift through, but the truth is that most of it is not better than what you are writing. Most of it is about oatmeal, and going to the beach. Although with all your Gemini, I prematurely feel your withdrawal pain.

29 Cancer is actually my 3rd House cusp, which could mean one of two things: 1) I will have to be on the Internet MORE THAN EVER, or 2) stop talking. Stop talking? NEVER!!!!!
