Through The Doorway

I think I’m finally returning to Earth.  It’s been a long three years, and a lot as happened. 

But first, let me apologize:   I actually forgot I had a blog.  Honest.   So I  am sorry for starting something, and then abandoning it.

In late Summer/early Autumn 2005, Pluto not only  passed over my MC twice, but stood completely still there in between.  (My MC is 21 Sag 59, and September 2 that year saw Pluto station at 21 Sag 49.)   With the opposition this made to my IC, suffice it to say there were major changes when it came to 4th house things.  I began to think about making a clean break with my past and moving somewhere totally new

So in early 2006, with Pluto only a few degrees from the MC, squaring my Saturn, opposing my Sun, I packed everything and moved to Atlanta, Georgia.  This was a city I only knew 1 person in, and had only been in once before in my life, and that time for 24 hours.  

New life down here.  They still have beautiful autumn leaves, but so far, the winters are like mild chills compared to what I grew up with.  A few snowflakes, and perhaps every few years, enough falls to actually stick on the ground a bit.  Spring and Summer, though, are very green.  Trees that only get to be bushes in Pennsylvania.  Gardenia’s living outdoors instead of being taken in come winter frost.

The first thing that struck me, though, was how rare the car horn was.   I lived here for 6 months before I heard one for the first time.  People are more laid-back, and there is still a good bit of Southern courstesy here even in the young people. 

I’m working in tech support now, helping people who are having internet-related problems, and just got promoted to Specialist at the company.  I’ve learned more about computers and the internet in the past 2 years than I did my whole life before moving here.

Yes, I’m still researching Chiron, the Centaurs, and other astrological bodies.  This year, I’ve given talks in San Francisco, New Jersey, Atlanta, and later this month will be speaking in Asheville, NC.

And finally, I remembered I had this blog! OK, I didn’t remember all on my own….I had help.  Someone from Lisbon messaged me asking if they could translate some of my Chiron stuff  into Portuguese for their own website, and directed me to one of my blog pages.  (Thank you, Natalia.)

But now that I’ve remembered, I’ll try to post something interesting from time to time.

Hopefully, I won’t drink another glass of nepenthe
