Any ideas cooking'?<br /><br />No, anyjazz hasn't had any writings published except on my bog (or his, or in his old high school magazine). He tells me he did entertain dreams of being a journalist/writer when young, took creative writing classes. I think he's unlikely to concentrate on writing these days, he prefers to paint, when temperatures in our garage permit. His Pisces Mercury is 9th house and part of a close cuspy cluster Sun/Merc/Saturn. <br /><br />I once, around mid-teens, harboured dreams of being a reporter, not a journalist or columnist but a reporter - so more factual then other styles I guess. But also, a school friend and I used to fantasise about creating a magazine to cater for our interests, as none existed back then in the UK. This blog could be the, somewhat mangled, growth from that seed. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-3526434543349972052015-10-08T14:53:08.657-05:002015-10-08T14:53:08.657-05:00Has Anyjazz ever published anything?

Or maybe entertained dreams of writing a novel? <br /><br />Based on the exercise, there's a distinct difference between your practical, matter-of-fact, intellectual writing style (with Mercury in Capricorn) and your hubby's more romantic, wistful way of looking at things (Mercury in Pisces - 12H?)<br /><br />I'm going through a stage ~ right now my own Neptune-Mercury-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio would rather write poetry and read books than clean windows. Mercury rules my Ascendant, so maybe I'll be more inspired once Mercury is direct.LBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-66816383331323235182015-10-08T14:18:53.592-05:002015-10-08T14:18:53.592-05:00This window is dirty,

When I started wearing glasses all the time - not that long ago - I realised that some things were not quite as clean as I'd assumed! YIKES! <br /><br />Pisces as victim? Hmmm. The whole "victim" thing goes right over my head, possibly due to my own astro-nature. Anyjazz's Pisces Mercury does tend to come out in fictional guise that way, I've noticed this in some of the captions he writes for photographs he takes on our travels, of abandoned broken down buildings (which can be quite picturesque in their own way). He's not that way in real life - his Aries Sun, Leo Moon and rising tend to burn it off.<br /><br />I like your excuse for uncleaned windows lol! Happily ours are all covered by venetian blinds - as are most windows in Oklahoma, so one never sees the full horror of dirty windows. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-13788696737409043912015-10-08T10:58:44.466-05:002015-10-08T10:58:44.466-05:00Sonny ~ LOL!

During my working years, I had cleaning down to an art form, with efficiency thrown-in for good measure...and I actually took pride in cleanliness being a reflection of the inner me type of mentality. Those days have thankfully dissipated and my neurotic, inner charwoman is on reprieve, only visiting every couple of weeks. To paraphrase Minnie Pearl, why clean house now when it'll just need it again next month...LOL.<br /><br />As for the literal clean windows, I now look upon that grimy, dirty, dusty, outer layer as a privacy screen. The light still comes through, but it's slightly softer, more muted, and less glaring. Some people pay big money for this effect!<br /><br />My relaxed attitude of the 21st century has been hard-earned. I spent SO much time accommodating my mother's needs over a long duration that I had to forfeit the ideals of maid service. Add my GiGi, who has bouts of life-and-death periodically, pushing the envelope on notions of a dust-free enterprise. Dirt and dust don't go away and will still be there tomorrow for us new-found procrastinators.<br /><br />Mercury turned retrograde in Capricorn in my progressed chart, which corresponds to my attitudinal adjustment. I just checked and it stations direct in six years. I hope that my early 70s don't bring a return of the clean-freak that I've managed to tame.<br /><br />Re anyjazz' character, Chessie...one quality of the Pisces-Virgo axis is victim-hood (do a search for Pisces as victim and there are too many hits!). Chessie is presented as a victim of Morgan...LOL. I doubt that I would dump someone solely on tardiness, but it's a perfect excuse, should there be other factors. mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-8273546145981761912015-10-08T04:22:28.118-05:002015-10-08T04:22:28.118-05:00
