![]() ![]() And, yet, it is our feelings that weave the rich tapestries of our lives. If someone is going through an emotionally painful episode in their life, and you were to tell them this, they might look at you as if you are mad. I can’t imagine anything worse and that is why I think every feeling is valuable, every feeling is an affirmation that you are alive. Being in the world, but not a part of it. Imagine that, living in a void, being the living dead, feeling nothing. For me the links between the two subjects are clear: both study people, their emotions, personalities, behavior and ultimately their fate (for character is indeed destiny).Ĭertain diseases and medications produce a complete lack of “affect” or emotion in people. I’ve studied psychology and now I study astrology. In case you were wondering, here is the first draft (dull, dull): So hanging out with you here, talking about loves lost and sharing a drink over Rick Astley’s singing… I mean, Venus-Neptune is all about love and poetry and heartbreak and addiction and love songs and sighing and pining and dreaming. So I’ve given up on the idea of writing a serious astrology piece about it. They’re too dull, and Venus-Neptune is anything but dull. I’ve got two incomplete drafts already but neither pleases me. I’ll have you know that I’ve been wanting to write a post on Venus-Neptune and unrequited love for over a month now. What, you can’t? Addicted, you say? Yes, yes. See what I’m saying? He isn’t that into you. It’s mostly along the lines of, “How do I get a Libra man to ask me out on another date?,” “What does it mean if a Taurus guy is ignoring you?” Let me make some up: “If a Capricorn is not returning my calls, does it mean that he is not in love with me?,” “If a Virgo crosses the road when he sees me, does it mean he is just not that into me?” For me, fresh from the Saturn-Venus boot camp, it’s clear: Babe, if he liked you, you wouldn’t be fretting so. So I’m on Sasstrology at least once a day and sometimes I check out the forum widget to see what people are talking about. On bad days, when I remember I haven’t read it, I cheer up, because I still have something cool to read. I’m a regular visitor at Jeffrey Kishner’s Sasstrology because I absolutely have to read Matthew Currie’s Daily Sky every day. What? I’m rambling? Oh, yeah, it’s a full-on Neptune post, just go with the flow, will ya? And let me get you another drink! He never did read it, but I did and it helped me for a while. I bought my husband a copy of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus a few years ago. Where were we? Oh, look at that alliteration! Sorry about that, my Mercury squares Neptune and I’m always getting distracted with stuff like that. Or Adnam Sami’s great, too: his Bhigi bhigi rato mein is after all about love and longing and it’s such a great song. ![]() ![]() You want some music on? Can we start with Kenny G’s Song Bird? I don’t hold with people who denigrate his work. Stuff like that really messes up one’s head, I don’t blame you. My nephew told me that’s how guys show affection. When my brother ribs me, I get really mad. Even grown-up boys are hard to understand. And unless they have older sisters they wouldn’t know how to behave with girls. So, um, no socialization skills, I’m guessing. Don’t young boys do that, though? They taught us in psych class that till they’re about 10 or 11, boys and girls don’t really mix with the other gender. What did you say? You think he’s really not that into you? Yeah, I saw the movie and read the “book.” The movie was a bit dull except for the opening scene with the little girl, where her mom tells her that the boy who was mean to her is doing it ‘cause he really likes her. I’m sticking to whiskey, grown to really like it and they say it doesn’t give you hangovers. What do you want to drink? Oh, no, not for me. Want to talk about love, huh? Freud said that’s all there was: love and work. So, where do you want to go? On a hill ‘round a fire, drinking cheap booze? Or to Couch despite their loud music, ‘cause they do the best Cosmopolitans in the city? Or do you just want to come over and we can talk late into the night? ‘Cause we’ve got to get the mood right. ![]()
