Within every problem lies the answer...
Sometimes you just have to shift your angle of perspective to see it!

Lilla that illustration was superb,....have had the haircut....did not rely on blogging money for it...how about that for problems solving, cousin it.
It's such a pleasure to see you , everything is very still.....I shall miss you....but not just yet...but soon,...adsense is not making any sense to me or for me...have to stare at the Question mark that looks like a dollar sign that reflects as an exclamation mark.
It is so cool....just look how I've picked up the current lingo....what does btw mean?
That tarot looks so special...guess my star sign...no relationship with the Tarot although I like Tarot....doesn't mean I believe it....or that I don't believe it.
Brevity, brevity.....all too soon, it's galloping up.
See you soon, I'll be swanning around with my new haircut....liked the price...cheap!...no, the haircut, silly, not me. I'll be watching out for your flutter, I have the scones with jam and cream ready and fresh squeeze of dandelion juice was it?

so true, or it reminds me of people who repeat the same actions expecting different outcomes..(?)
Hi Katyzzz,
…thrilled about the haircut, will have to think of a new name for you now ... could take a while on present firing rate *whoop*
*errgm* yes meditation, lots and lots and cleaning out the 'loft' and still not making sense to me eithe. But you know inside every conumdrum there lies a revelation ... waiting to be discovered....
Btw, I believe btw = by the way.
Aries, allies boredom and loss of individuality?
Have to look up brevity… hang on a tic… *MMM* [pre-menopausal memory malfunction] …
Brevity? Brevity? oh yeah, now I remember …
The fare sounds fab. Yummy… on my way….

How did you know I'm an Aries, did I let it slip some time, I'm not game to guess yours although I'm usually right in there, feet first.
You're a gentle sign but not without strength, you have a vivid imagination, you'r brave - trip to Russia, you're careful not to upset those around you, you're resiliant, you know what you want and where you're going despite being a bit of a flutterby, love animals and the environment, love writing and art and doing it, very obviously artistic, loyal.
Hmmm, let's see Taurus, Pisces, with my money being on Taurus. Let's add Aquarius and my money is changing. And let's add Cancer.
Well, do tell. I'm prepared to fail this one, won't cry, never do.

Ooh, my favourite symbol...
I think every problem is just a hidden love letter to your own ingenuity. ;o)

P.S. Can you guess my star sign? (or any aspects... I'll give you a hint: my only Earth aspect is Virgo in Mars)

..sorry for the delay... had to go out into the real world and help some folks along.
You are amazingly accurate, tell you why ...
You picked the two major influences in my life, my sun sign and my moon sign = right there in the four you chose.
You should set up an astrology blog, you sure pegged me.
I'll be a bit coy here for the unitinitiated and say I have a birthday late this month and my moon sign is in it's own sign. My mother and my daughter are both stubborn with horns and I am currently surrounded by about four really fishy (but truly dear) friends. *lol*
I think the loyalty comes from my Chinese animal sign.
Pretty close to 10 out 10 there Ktz, again, well done!

Bhumika,
I think you are right, shifting out perspective can sometimes take a huge shove, but isn't it sweet when we allow it to happen ...
Hi Tracy,
thank you.
JoeBlogg
so true, but again, sometimes so difficult to do.
Adrian,
As always I love the way your mind works -
You are so right and perhaps why reincarnation is a necessary step in evolution …
Hey PMC
Epiphanie's are my favourite *lol*
sweetie, I am a star gazer not a star guesser, although I know my astrology as well, but never been good at guessing. Ask Katyzzz to have a go at it, she is brilliant! Scroll up and see my response, she got it pretty right. In fact better than any astrologer I've seen pace to face - becuase the ascendant hides the truth in such matters. Our ascendant is our social mask and in orble Katyzzz can't see that, which intrigued me no end and set me thinking ...
David...,
Thank you...
Lilla…

Aww... *muah*
If she wants to, she's welcome (but don't check out the 'A Bit About Me' section of PmC, Katy, as you'll see a reproduction of my natal chart).
I'm going to guess that your moon sign is taurus or pisces - I'm leaning more towards the latter.
I think that my ascendant affects how I present my ideas.
I'd like to ask you what staging "The Importance of Being Earnest" was like? I adore Oscar Wilde.
Cya later,
Epiphanie

again, a great name...
Almost, my moon sign is in it's own sign of Cancer. Scroll up and you should be able to work out the rest too, as I left easy clues for the astrologically initiated to follow
Yes the ascendant does that, unfortunately mine is chillier than my heart and leaves me looking a little indifferent and aloof sometimes... odd really, a contradiction in terms...
So, now to Mr Wilde and the experience was Wild too... it was a matter of being in the right place at the right time as much as it was opportunity created by extremely hard work and effort. You know how it goes.
I was the editor of a small town, rural newspaper. Prior to my creating the paper the place had no voice and attracted nothing. It was totally forgotten by tax dollars - even the water supply - which is why I started the paper, but that's another story...
Anyway, word got around and the "Players" from the nearest City responded to a call I made for them to put our little village on their map as we had this amazing great community hall that was never used anymore. They accepted!!
Talk about 'man the rigging' and 'swab the decks' ~ the hall was neglected and run down and I had to go to council and push buttons, cajole, can-oodle and threaten to get money for paint and God knows what. Then I ran an article calling for volunteers to help clean the hall - after 20 years of being closed up, almost.
About 20 people - including the local councillor turned up and we began painting, scrubbing, deodorising and dusting. The curtain pulley-wire-thingy had snapped and a new one had to be fashioned, out of what we had and good old fashioned ingenuity. We had to make the change-rooms useable and fix much of the toilet plumbing too. We painted walls and polished the stage and after about two weeks of elbow grease we were set. The hall was a grand old thing and I could often hear the echoes of the past there - of it's hey day - times gone by...
There were so many young beauties in our town, I wanted one of them to take the box office for me, but they were all too shy. So I did it with one helping me...
The hall filled to capacity and farmers and rural folk came from all over with attendance at about 180 seats filled. The local senior citizens baked and scrubbed the kitchen for days in order to open the 'snacks' table for intermission. The mayor came and most of the city council and I was dragged up in front of them all too for an appreciation award. [most embarrassing].
The play was - to me - like professionals - because the village was in se NSW and up on the snow line. It was winter [about 10oC below, outside with howling winds hurling snow up through the valley of the main street where the hall sat, solid. Being old and unused the new wall heaters hadn’t had time to dry it out properly and the hall was damp… anyway it got freezing after about an hour of sitting still... the actors had steam coming out of their mouths as they spoke. Poor things in such sleeveless dresses too... but they were professionals and the play was wonderful. They said they really enjoyed the energy and experience and they did come back a year later, so they were sincere…*lol* Of course I got to go 'back stage' and hang out with them all and felt honoured. I even helped the sound and lighting guys set up beforehand - can you imagine?
I had never ever seen an Oscar Wilde play before and the whole story was wonderful and I laughed my head off! I still have the promotional stills to add to some of my richest memories in life...
My advice to everyone is go and see this man's work live in the theatre, it's really funny. I was surprised at first, to learn later, that he was gay, along with JR Tolkien, what d'ya know? However, it makes sense when I think of his writings - he was wonderfully talented in writing of the farce of the foibles of human nature versus human tradition.
thank you for asking PMC,
Lilla

I can't believe I didn't pick up on that... I must have been really tired yesterday! Do you have an earthy rising?
Your sun is in my moon, and your moon and my sun are both in the same element... I treat astrology as a personality test and I'm surprised at how insightful it can be. Have you heard of Rob Breszny's freewillastrology.com?
Thanks for sharing your Wild(e) experience with me Lilla, it sounds like it was very rewarding for everyone involved! What made you pick Earnest out of all the others? Have you read Lady Windermere's Fan, or the novel The picture of Dorian Gray? I used to have a copy of his Complete Works but I had to leave it behind in Macao as I was carrying too many things.
It's such a disgrace that he was imprisoned for his sexuality towards the end of his life... if you want to know more about his life there's a film with Stephen Fry and Jude Law named Wilde.
I think people who tend to identify as different in any way tend to be more creative, ground-breaking and interesting in general.
Cya,
Epiphanie
P.S. My ascendant is in Libra

Yes I do in fact, you are good too... it's Capricorn rising, which I'm told makes me seem a little aloof, saturine and shorter that my fellow Aquarians. personally, becuase it is the sign before my sun sign and diametrically opposed to it in may ways, I find it a hinderance of the worst sort, especially when writing. I would be breezing along with a nice LIbra Ascendant now wouldn't I ? But then I'd be someone else and I'm only just getting to knowing me. It has taken many years for my Capricornian side to accept the eccentric, wild, unorthodox Aquarian.
Can you imagine the ever serious, methodical and super plodding Capricorn - ever needing his bloomin' status trying to modify the behaviour of this wildly humane, go with the flow, who needs it, simplictic brilliance of the conserve-it Aquarian? *lol* Add a Cancerian moon : mooning and swooning along with all it's complaints and insecurities and you've got an enig(me) alright, not to mention the aspects of my Mars and Mercury.
I have Venus in its own sign of Libra too ... Conclusion: I am many people in one... I guess we all are to about the same degree within ourselves. However, I find I can mingle amongst a very diverse number of differeing levels of society and that is a real bonus ... when all the different ideologies aren't clashing in my head *rofl* that's when meditation and yoga are invaluable.
The upside is that I can always see both sides of an argument, easily and therefore comment rarely.
Thanks for the astrology site, I will subscribe and have a read. As I will with Oscar Wilde too, I like the idea of a complete works tombe and that is the way I'll go I think. I never did get to read more, becuase I went on to Jane Austin shortly after and absolutely devoured her books, and then Bridget Jones came out and I had to read that, and then Memoirs of a Geshia girl; and so it goes... one thing all my "signs" agree on is reading, lots of reading! *lol*
I think the whole western civilization and its homophobic laws, aboslutely ridiculous hypocrisy of the worst sort. Soddomy has been going on for centuries and its a matter of personal preference, just like watching pornography is, yet we tolerate that with more equinamity than a person's right to life and their own choices. Hypocrisy, the whole bloomin' lot, I reckon. But that's what you get following a hybrid religion like Christianity has become, eventually nobody knows the rules anymore and so each ruler makes it up to suit himself, as long as the sheep follow... poor old Oscar just got caught up in it I guess. I admire his tenacity and courage to speak out...
Whoa, better get off the soap box, hey... strong views on this subject it seems...*lol* sorry..
lovely to see you again,
Lilla
