The gift of being seen and heard

Accidentally deleted this earlier. Again, from today's Aquarium Age report:

Yesterday, the Sun entered Libra, autumn began, the planets are clustering in new patterns, and the priorities of daily life rearrange and realign. Collective concerns take a back seat to personal matters, especially relationship issues, as three other planets—Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury—follow the Sun into Libra, the sign of relating. Anticipate emotional mood swings, yours or others, to fluctuate between the highs of ecstasy and the lows of disappointment and every conceivable feeling in between. Rather than judge these vacillations, try to meet them with compassion and understanding. The remedy for so much of what hurts so many is simply the gift of being seen and heard.

And for those so inclined, and you know who you are:

The only difficulty may be the tendency to indulge in too much of just about anything you desire, particularly l-o-v-e. Libra rarely hesitates to revel in its romantic appetites. And the rest of this Gang of Four are also no slouches when it comes to satisfying urges of every variety. If those desires are healthy, have at it, and give yourself permission to chase and taste your passion. If you're tempted by excess, and that temptation could cause harm to you or those you love, do whatever it takes to curb your craving.

If wishes were horses...

Tower Hill Farm, Grafton MA, late afternoon on Sept. 22.

I was sad again this morning, and sadder to find myself sad when I’d felt so calm and centered last night! You think you have your emotions all settled into a nice, safe place and they wind up escaping on you during the night. Now that I’ve shaken off sleep, fed myself some banana-nut pancakes and a cup of tea, the sun filtering into my office in dancing shadows on the cool September breeze, I’m thinking I’m going to be okay today after all.
