Written In The Stars

Do you think the planets, the moon, the Universe play a part in human behaviour?

I don’t mean that someone on Perseus 812 zero 5 in a far-flung galaxy is pressing buttons that determine whether we fail or succeed, or even if we live or die; I just wonder if all the energy being flung around out there affects us in some measure.

Take this week. Saturn is moving into Libra. This move is meant to impact on relationships. Challenges will arise. There will be a need to re-establish boundaries. Saturn’s move signifies the chance to bring harmony and balance into the world for the next three years, but there may be political and social unrest as a result.

If you want to read a good article on this go and visit my favourite astrologer Anne Ortelee who lives in New York.

I have, on occasion, been skeptical about astrology.

But this move of Saturn into Libra really seems to be shaking things up out there.

I’ve had friends and work colleagues announce they’re just not going to take it anymore. Loyalties have been questioned, incompetence has been highlighted.

A situation at work that has been bothering my husband for over a year was addressed (not without a little bit of aggro) and sorted out.

Nick reported several incidents at school where bullied kids turned on their bully and BOP, POW, WHAM – made it clear that enough was enough. These are quiet kids who normally wouldn’t resort to violence.

Then there was the milk incident. I visit my local cafe several mornings a week. I know the owners quite well and often have a chat to them. On Tuesday morning the owners – a husband and wife – had a terrible argument. I know where you really go when you say you’re going out for milk, she said. I know you’re not discussing the merits of skim versus full cream.Why do you go out for milk so much?

Let’s just say that we were all agog over our lattes. Sounds like they should get their milk delivered in the future.

I cleared the air a bit with my sister. I needed to do it. I am tired of the drama that continues to arise. I just can’t cope with it anymore. I am happy to help her if there is a genuine problem, but I’m not going to become embroiled in imaginary problems from now on.

She accepted my point of view. Was sorry she hadn’t seen it before. She didn’t cry or protest. It almost seemed too easy; made me wonder if perhaps this whole Saturn in Libra thing has some truth to it.

Maybe the planets have as much influence over us as the cycles of the moon do.

I wonder if somebody on Perseus 812 zero 5 is actually pulling the strings.

Or is the course of our days just written in the stars?
