So last night was a lovely birthday party at

rougemacabre's, who was a marvellous hostess as always. The dinner was marvellous, and I had curry for the first time.

I'm gradually coming out of Internet detox, though it shall be some time before I can catch up on all my friends' pages. I've been moving slowly through, but I'm about two weeks behind for everyone.

I've been mostly procrastinating, but I am still ahead on my Shakespeare course, and I've been playing around with a fantasy short story that wants to grow into a fantasy novel. Trying not to get too far ahead of myself, since I still have another novel to revise once all the feedback comes in, but it's just too tempting to go ahead and write ^_^

Looking forward to seeing

terren_divided on Saturday, and to our first game in many an age on Sunday. I'll give advanced warning that there will be no game the week after, because I have to work the first weekend every month.

I like Cancer. I have the two planets least-suited to Cancer in Cancer (Saturn and Mars), and the three signs most powerful in my chart -- Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio -- are all on friendly terms with it ^_^

Cancer's like Virgo and Scorpio -- it has such an odd reputation, out-of-step with the reality of most Cancerians. All the astrology books paint such a silly image -- they make all Cancers sound like housewives with bouffant hairdos and husbands who putter around in workshops. All the Cancerians I've ever known have been the artsy kind and genuine individualists -- creative and interesting people.

It shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Cancer is the opposite of Capricorn, the zodiac's most self-controlled sign and the most conscious of what society expects of it. Not surprising that the relationship of Cancer to the world should be reversed.

That's probably why Cancers traditionally feel more comfortable in the home -- the world isn't always friendly to an individualist, especially a sensitive one.

Both my mom and my sister are Cancer, so I have my own sweet lifelong experience with them ;)
I have something else in Cancer, I think it was Moon. I know the 'whiny' part is a 'silly image' thing, it's just a quality you notice, that they're much more soft-spoken than others, and much more sensitive.
It's kind of funny, except for my family, I know no Cancers at all.

As I said before, all the Virgos are popping up lately :P looks like I need some reason and distance in my life.

Virgo is heavily associated with geek culture -- I'd say at least 80% of anime fans have Virgo powerful in your chart.

I believe that the ruling "planet" of Virgo is Chiron -- contrary to the old tradition of Mercury. You have this planetoid smack dab in the middle of all that Taurus -- conjunct your Mars, Mercury, Sun, and possibly moon as well ^_^

That's very strange about Virgo.
Does it make me less of a geek and/or anime fan that I have no virgo at all in my chart? ;_;
At least I think I don't.
Also, the first Virgo I ever got closer to is a friend I met a year and a half or so ago, who has nothing to do with anime whatsoever ;)

Ah well. Still fun to observe general trends :)

I checked up on that- I do have a weird Virgo, it's in something that's called Immum Coeli- I once knew what that one meant, I really don't anymore. And well, only Virgo there is :P
I've got Sun, Moon, Mercury AND Mars in Taurus, rising sign and Venus is Cancer. Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are in Sagittarius, Saturn and Pluto are in Libra. Chiron is in Gemini.
Yeahhhhhh. As you can see, I'm totally... not balanced. :P

Nope -- you've definitely got Chiron in Taurus. It was in Taurus all of May, 1983 -- at about 27 degrees.

I can't be sure of the Moon's degree without a precise time, but it looks like Chiron conjuncts your Sun, your Mercury, and your Mars, injecting Virgo traits into all three, as conjunctions are wont to do ^_^

I'm getting better -- now I'm anonymous.

And I meant to say "about 27 degree on May 11."

Ueh? But. But.
Ueeeh?
Are you sure that wasn't only in North America?
Oh wait. I think I mixed up Chiron with the north Lunar node... Chiron isn't even in that silly chart I looked at.
Time is 8:43, by the way.

Silly conjuctions >_>

I'm guessing Munich...?

(The birth location affects the Rising and the houses, but not the position of the planets.)

Yep -- your North Node is in Gemini, 12th house -- at least if you were born in Munich, and if we use Koch, which is my prefered system of House placement.

In Koch, that huge cluster of planets looks to be in the 11th house.

(Goddamit -- did it again. Damn mercury retrogrades :p)

Nyahaha :P You do that damn often lately.

No, not Munich, my birth town is actually called Prien am Chiemsee.
Not that far away from here though. I don't think it'll change a whole lot.
