Any connection begun during a retrograde may only be temporary. The other possibility is that there will be a re-connection during the next retrograde period as the person reflects the connection, re-connection, or disconnection. We could say then that any new relationship, friendship, job, etc. that starts during a retrograde will not only end or be on shaky ground during a retrograde but will also be renewed again on the next one because a retrograde forces us to examine, introspect, and judge as per what the planet and sign that it’s retrograding in governs.

The 8th House, Virgo Stellium & Knowing the Truth Before You Do!
I was chatting with a friend on Facebook and we got to talking about how I want to believe what people say to me but I have had to stop believing in the lies they tell themselves to ensure safety, security, well-being, and good flow.
“I crack up because most the time I think, “Is this person that stupid to think I don’t see through their mud pile of dung?” It’s a really funny thing we experience with [Virgo] 8H stellium…. We [know] things before the actual individual knows.” ~ DarbyDarcy
I’ve said a number of times to intimates: Do you think I’m THAT stupid? That offends me.
I have to remind them I’m not a norm buying or pretending to buy their crap. Few people don’t know the past, present, future like I do, like an 8th house Virgo stellium does.
What’s cool is that DarbyDarcy isn’t even a professional psychic, like I am. She’s just an 8th house Virgo stellium, like I am. That makes what she says go even further than it already does…
It’s actually pretty annoying to be right. We often want to be wrong.
Respect is a big thing for me, so for the longest time I treated people the way I would want to be treated. Bad move. When I speak, I speak with personal clarity and thought. My natural inclination is to think that other’s do that too. That they think of consequences, the well-being of the person/s their responsible to, and important minutia. But they rarely do. They’re in the moment. They’re into themselves.
So that’s another ‘popular line’ that isn’t my karma. My karma is NOT to treat people the way I would want to be treated. Why? Because most people are nothing like me. They play by a different set of rules (NorthEast ones) and I need to play by ‘their’ rules, not mine (SouthWest). It’s only fair.
The 8th House in Virgo: House of Privacy, Intuition, and Intimacy
Some peeps are just going to have to go through the Plutonian fire wheel of tests before they are let in.
They can scream paranoia and too private all they want; but 8th house, Scorpio, Pluto, Virgo stellium people — don’t buy what they’re selling. Their intuition is not as sharp (don’t easily believe the lies people often tell themselves) nor is their integrity.
A certain level of privacy is important to me. Intimacy is something that is earned over time, and given when comfort is there. Many people do not understand or care about the fragility of others. They often do not hold the secrets of others very well. A well-adjusted 8th house person does, especially a Virgo stellium in the 8th house. The gravity of some people’s casual and random intrusion is often not understood by them. I get that they believe they’re being harmless, but they’re not. If a person has a depth of character and sensitivity, their spirit can be easily screwed with.
Anyone who respects someone else would not be so readily and bossily nosy when they have no right, connection, invitation, or privilege to do so.
Pestering ought to be met with rudeness if nosy people try to move past boundaries! In the past, I would have felt it wrong to be rude but some people do not take a simple “no, I’m not comfortable sharing that” with graciousness. Today, I recognize the other person is being rude so being rude back is fine if that’s what is needed to get the point across.
The other annoying thing is that people who are nosy and have an expectation for you to share your secret bits, often are quite secretive themselves and have little intention of reciprocating the one way telephone conversation. Go figure! The world is backwards!
Goading anyone into telling you their secrets is not the way to open them up; it’s classless.
The best way to deal with that classlessness is to give them some of their medicine and pester them about sharing something personal about themselves. Watch how fast they try to squirm out of it or lack disclosing anything of importance to them (similar to of what has been asked of you).
I see people. I see you. That’s what I do for a living. See. If I don’t openly call you on your crap, there’s a good chance I’m just being Venusian.
p.s. Celebrities, and people who earn a large chunk of their living from public affairs, are by the nature of what they do, often exempt from a certain level of prying by the general public and commentators. It’s not really the same thing when reporters, etc. are trying to get the story of their lives out of them or is it??
To orb or not to Orb: THAT is the question…
An Orb is something that occurs when two or more celestial objects and hypothetical points contact each other within a certain number of degrees, based on the laws of harmonics.
I use a wide orb (10-12°) for most planets and the lights and a smaller orb for fixed stars (3°) and asteroids (6°) for my person chart. In synastry, it may need to be a tighter orb because it depends on the awareness and consciousness of the other native.
Having said this, I have these thoughts about using or not using orbs…
- sign-to-sign can be felt
- sign-to-sign shows up over-time
- tight orbs are used to focus on the strongest feeling the native may have
- tight orbs are used to reduce number of aspects to look at
- conjunctions are most definitely felt even if having a loose (wide) orb or are sign-to-sign only
Favorites: Chakra Candle Votives
I love the way these candles burn and easily come out of the jar. They do not stick to the sides like wax. It’s a clean burn. Great energy to them too. Check out my blue candle and jar.
