Astrological weather report

[sabrinamari]

"8/9 (Tue) & 8/11 (Thu). Be careful with the volatile energies crackling through the week of August 8! Cancerian Mars squares Uranus on Tuesday and opposes Pluto on Thursday. To avoid accidents or violence, within your family or out in the world, act mindfully and steer clear of unstable people and situations. (Mars' Tuesday trine to Chiron, the wounded healer, adds yet another cautionary note here.)
Harness this energy for the good by acting immediately on your intuitive flashes. These energies can also be positively expressed with exercise, sports, high-side sex, and expressing your inner leader or warrior. Mentoring and healing are supported by the trine to Chiron. And if Pluto calls for transformation in your life, embrace it!."

The weather report is not a surprise, personally or at a macro level. Woke up tense, stressed and annoyed at the rate of constant change in my life. Do not feel friendly, calm or happy. Would love to be simply awful to everyone around me.

Will apply Buddhist tools and acknowledge that this is a juicy place to start; will meditate after a killer workout, pursue today's goals mindfully and refrain from picking pointless fights.

Probably should start by running fast and hard to use up some of the mean in me today.

**** Thank gods for exercise. Much better! Also, one minute of resting my head against my honey's belly is good for a 75% reduction in angst.

BTW,I am informed that meditating DURING a workout can do some things too. Granted, more fire than water/ice.

I use it frequently during cardio. Weights, though, require my complete attention.

Yeah, the berserks recommend it during cardio too. I am not that good but will work towards doing it in boxing.

I like your approach to coping with the cosmic weather. We can't always control what's happening, but we can usually control how we deal with it. I'm glad you chose to deal with it in a constructive way.

I am trying not to do too much interacting until I feel my normal calm. It would suck to dump this on kind, unsuspecting people.
