Yes, so first of all, my mistake - Sag. is in house XI, and I had Roman dyslexia and read it as IX.

My rising sign is right on the cusp of Capricorn and Aquarius. Most systems have it in Capricorn, but I ran across one system that put it in Aquarius. Leo's my true node. She's right on the cusp of Virgo though, and then I've got a Virgo cluster: Jupiter and Mars in house 7, and Saturn in 8. My Libra Pluto's right on the cusp of 8/9, then nothing till midheaven.

Thanks for appreciating my essays!

Ooooh interesting! No wonder I resonate with your writing - I have a Virgo Mars as well, a bunch of Scorpio planets, too...and that Jupiter/Mars of yours would give you abundant energy to expand into the DETAILS of things.... So funny, I thought I could do some Scorpio sleuthing and find out when your birthday was just from the details you gave me (yet I don't know your Sun sign!) because of the Mars/Jupiter in Virgo - but Mars and Jupiter were in Virgo for quite a long time from the end of 1979 right into middle of 1980! So, shoot. :)

Ah yes, my sun sign is Aquarius. So, oddly enough, with my south node also in Aquarius, I guess it means I've mastered who I already am and need to become Leo. Luckily my Scorpio moon is helping me with this confusing process of needing to move away from myself and become my opposite!

Raelle! Sooooo interesting. I just got back from a wee birthday party on a candlelit beach and I saw that a friend had liked this essay of yours that I'd posted a couple of weeks ago - so I read through the excerpts that I'd quoted and when I got to this one, it struck me: Raelle has totally leaped over to her north node in Leo! Here it is! Sooooo beautiful and warm and Radiant-Sun-Shiney-Self like! With touches of Neptune and in the mayan: Yellow Sun.

"I propose a counter spell. A spell of healing and generation. A protective spell of love and truth. From within this spell, we recognize that each and every one of us is a beacon of light gifted to this world—that this source of light is infinite—there is no possibility of reducing another’s light by shining our own. From within this spell, we find the courage to love ourselves unconditionally, and we discover that this love is true. From the truth of this love we can see that truly loving ourselves does not and cannot diminish our love for others. In fact, it nourishes our ability to love others. Our love for others and for the world becomes possible through loving and trusting ourselves."

Ah, yes, thank you for this recognition! I do believe part of me has made the leap. There's another part that's lagging behind and needs a little more support to get there. So I'm in the process of herding all the cats of these tarrying parts and coaxing them along to the sunlight of Leo!
