always look to the brightside of life, where ever we are we all have some up and down,accept every thing as a gift and express gratitude for all we have and the universe will always come to our rescue r

I damn well hope you're right Steve as today has been possibly the worst day of my life. No matter how much I try to retain my positivity and faith in the future I can't help wishing that this stinking cesspool of a system that we live in implodes real soon. I wouldn't mind being covered in the results providing everything comes up smelling of roses next month!

Steve, I think you're right this IS as hard as it gets. As a Nov 29 Sag I've had a tough, long time with Pluto first in Sag and then on my Venus. I thought I'd put all that behind me, but recently I've had 2+ months off work with excruciating neck pain, went back only to learn my contract was not being renewed. My Mum got sick with a minor infection and a lorry wrote my car off. Then my mum died and the rest of my family have shattered into argumentative camps, but I'm still here and breathing and right now smiling, because you've helped me see during all that, that I'm just a tiny part of a bigger picture. The only thing is in your last reading for me you called this my quiet year with things ticking over steadily before it all blows up again next year; I'm not sure I want to even begin to think what that'll encompass! Thanks, as ever. Lucy

Hi Steve Its the 19th & waking up early after new moon I am feeling a great sense of good things to come...in my training it was suggested that when you get to the core of all your issues, you have 3mins to live....this morning I feel like the egg shell has cracked & I am emerging, yes raw & vunerable with a sense of knowing me & what needs nurturing to build upon..not sure if I am feeling what others are experiencing, but it feels safe now, that truth & integrety can be a real part of my life...the birds are singing clearer& sweeter & the air feels fresher. If I am at my core, then it feels that a new life is occurring...(maybe that was my experience of the killer moon?)..hopefully life is changing for the better for us all, including you Steve...or am I still in illusion, who knows eh?

Hey to the above, I too have woken up this morning- feeling raw and vulnerable- - but with even more determination than usual to create the life I long for.Am listening to Feeder -Buck Rogers(love this music) "we're going to make it" which means I am going to put a lot more effort into creating a new life, and ditching things that are not serving a purpose any longer (i.e my attempts at creating a new social life by joining groups which I thought would bring me in more contact with like minded souls- )Which reminds me if I have to sit through another meeting of a certain environmental group (which I joined locally thinking I could do some good with helping the planet)while the members sit and pontificate for hours about the wording of minutes of the meeting, I will explode!!Also I don't take kindly when expressing views that this governemt is becoming increasingly communist in its methods to be told " Don't be silly at least we don't have journalists being arrested in the UK")Oh no we just have eminent citizens like David Kelly disappearing, and innocent bystanders like Ian Thomlinson being killed.Yah boo to the person who said this and I shall be concentrating my efforts in future to more active organisations like Greenpeace!At least they have the guts to climb up inside massive cooling towers at big power statins....

Why is it when the universe deals you a sideways swipe, or should that be knocks you off your current path on to one which you feel that now it has happened was the right thing to do and so feel happy that it happened. why is it then that life just gets tougher instead of getting easier? I mean if this is what you are meant to do, why does the universe then make it harder for you to do it. I've had a lot of "when the going gets tough - just get tougher" moments this week - but it just doesn't seem to be working. Now beginning to wonder if or when the going gets even tougher do I just give up and go stack shelves in Tesco!! And I don't have a birthday near 12th of any month! aaaaarrrrgghhhhhh! :o} Sx

To the above- DON'T give up and stack shelves at Tescos- just keep trying- I am,despite a lot of setbacks- and if you can, get outside- enjoy the late summer while you can...

thanks! I'm sorry if I came across as being down and selfish, after all there are people much worse off than me. It's just so frusrating. I got some sun and fresh air this week as i walked the streets getting leaflets out, but not had even 1 enquiry. I really feel like screaming (actually did on the way home in my car yesterday) but if I did that today I'd frighten my neighbours!! Right had the chocolate and a good cry - back to the housework and reminding myself what I have to be thankful for. Mind you what I have has been gained by a lot of hard slog, grit and determination, I just would really like a break and a bit of luck for a change, and seen as I am a polite girl I guess i should add - please! :o) And I promise, I will get out tomorrow - I make myself go out every weekend and mooch somewhere, so off to a European Market tomorrow - for a look only though! Still it gets me out :o) thanks again Sx

What do you mean Steve when you say this is as hard as it gets until next year.....whats going to happen?....When will all this cr.p end....and please say that we will have a future government that is more trustworthy, transparent, and doesn't do away with anyone that wants to tell the truth!

i have felt for a whhile that things have indeed turned the corner and i feel much lighter than i have done for some months.

In the spin dryer for quite a long time... so this energy feels like more of the same... my worry is (!) given that my life somehow has got down to 'ground zero', been alone for so many years now despite making much effort in relationships, trying to build new ones.. I have been hammered.. I cannot bear the thought of having to endure Saturn entering my relationship zone in a month time (!!) what more can I take, and can he do? May be I should not bother about people anymore and just look out selfishly for number one.. and not wish for a relationship.. may be the message is 'forget it', none of it is worth it. Anyone worth its metal, will have to show it. ?????

I felt like that at end of July and in August - light and like I had been shoved on to a path that was right. I felt happier than in ages and like I could breathe and had space around me. People noticed the difference in me. BUT September has been awful - been struggling to make things work on this "new path", even though on one hand people and the universe seem to be conspiring to help me .. what is truly needed to make things work just isn't happening - feels like a real mixed bag and like I am in a worse position than I was in before. I'm usually a positive person, and just get on with things, but not sure I could cope with worse than this!
