Lunar Eclipse - dealing with messy emotions

Lunar Eclipse is Messy Time. Don't let it trip you up.

Stanton felt the moral of the film was "Irrational love defeats life's programming." He continued "That's a perfect metaphor for real life. We all fall into our habits, our routines and our ruts, consciously or unconsciously to avoid living. To avoid having to do the messy part. To avoid having relationships with other people, of dealing with the person next to us. That's why we can all get on our cell phones and not have to deal with one another."

This statement is about WALL-E, an old Pixar movie I happened to watch last week when at a friend's house. Not surprisingly, this coincided with a church sermon I heard last month, where the minister said, from the pulpit, that "families are messy."

Messy? Emotions are the stuff of life. And that's part of what these eclipses are asking us to deal with. You can only go so long without "dealing" with them, healing them. Some of our trouble with "messy emotions" can be karma. But why not deal with this in this lifetime. The upcoming lunar eclipse could be just the time. Email me for a reading - sdunn@susandunn.cc . Typical ways of numbing yourself to avoid the "mess."

LEO WOMAN - Getting intellectual and analysing what's going on in an interchange instead of participating

TAURUS - Eating. Sitting. Eating. Not taking part.

ARIES - Taking on a new project that keeps you out of the house more. Hey! It's better than all that messy "drama" at home.

GEMINI - Moving to find a new place where you think your penchant for human drama will be more welcomed. And it will be. For a while.

CANCER - Pulling back into your shell.

LIBRA MAN - Listening to what's going on and playing referee. It's a one-up position in gamesmanship.

This Moon is in Cancer. It's "messy" time. Let me help!

Hang on, Relief in Sight

At last - what you want you can reach for.

We have all been on a roller coaster for several weeks (months?) Up and down ... sounds great, OH NO ... expansion, contraction, got it in the bag - whoops, know what I want, no I don't ... this is it, but others won't cooperate.

Amounts to (depending on your astrological sign)

• frustration (Leo),
  
• anger Scorpio),
  
• defeatism (Aries. Aries, feeling defeated?? you KNOW it's bad),
  
• confusion (Gemini),
  
• tuning out (Libra),
  
• intellectualization (Taurus),
  
• feeling stuck (Pisces),
  
• and so forth.

If I left your sign out, you know what you've been going through.

Well relief is on the way. Big ideas will start to come, unless you hold them back from FEAR, as Mercury (the great communicator) moves into conjunct with Jupiter (the Big One).

Also Aquarius-the-Intelligent Moon will enable us. Get back to your dreams.

Call me for a reading, to move this forward. I can help you with the "fear" part and we've ALL got "nerves" after the past couple weeks - months.

The Other Thing Men Want (the Perfect Holiday Gift)

The Other Thing Men Want (The Perfect Holiday Gift)

This article by Susan is currently appearing on astrology signs insider.

Dating has gotten more complicated, there’s no question about it.

What most women want to know is how to attract (and keep) a man. In other words, What does a man want? We know the usual stuff - We know that men like to be told what we want, not to have to guess. We know that when they get grumpy or withdrawn, they “go in the cave,” and want to be left alone, and that it usually isn’t about us, they just want time alone. Especially if you’ve got a Scorpio, let your magnetic, mysterious guy crawl off and hide when he needs to. He’s charismatic, and you may dread his going off, but it’s worth it to avoid the sting of an annoyed Scorpio.

We also know men like to be listened to with respect. In fact, someone has said that “to be a man is to be listened to.” Well, yes, he probably likes to talk, and when he does, he wants us just to listen. He is not interested in feedback, just an audience, a sounding board. Any ‘comments’ may be construed as criticism, or that you assume he’s ‘weak’ and needs ‘help.’ Be particularly careful with this with an Aries guy. They cannot stand to be “criticized”.

Incidentally, this will be more pleasant with a Gemini guy, because they are usually excellent in diplomacy and will dazzle you with their mercurial wit and brilliance.

Men can’t stand it when we don’t say we’re mad when we are, but let it fester. It’s especially annoying when we store it as resentment, and then ‘attack’ them at a snuggly time. (This is like sabotage and builds up a sort of avoidance routine you don’t want to get in to.) If you’ve got a Cancer guy, be especially careful about this. They’re naturally psychic, so you can’t fool them, they know. So own up, get it out, get it over with.

Men want us to talk sweet! Teasing and sarcasm are turnoffs, as well as confusing. The knee-jerk reaction from a guy is to consider it an attack. With your Taurus guy, it should quickly develop into a silent rapport that is easier to deal with.

Men like to be acknowledged! (Don’t we all!) Catch him doing something right (or good or that you like) and thank him and you’ll likely get more of this. This works particularly well on a Leo because he cannot stand being controlled or dictated to. Handle him right and he is the most generous and magnanimous of the signs. Acknowledging the good things he does will cause the King of the Jungle to sheathe those claws and purr like a pussycat.

We know that men liked to be loved just as they are. Take special caution with your Aquarius guy. They are almost unbelievably independent. Any suggestion of ‘change,’ will engender, “It’s MY life!” That’s not what you meant, but why go there?

Guys also like reassurance. Once he knows you’re in it for the long-haul, heart and soul, he will fall right in line. You first! Especially if your love is a Virgo. To the Virgo male, love is not dramatic, emotional, or sentimental, it is devotion. Say it, show it, give it, and you will get.

No surprises here.

So what’s the OTHER thing men want? I know you’ve been waiting for this…Well, he really wants to be his best self, to know who he is, why he is here - his purpose - and that he’s living it out and it’s worthwhile. One gift you can give your man is find out his Spiritual Life Path, remind him of it, and let him know he’s on it. He wants meaning in his life, just like you do. It isn’t all about money, a new car, a Rolex or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. A man’s life work goes best when it is aligned with his spiritual life purpose. This can be seen from his chart by an experienced astrologer who is knowledgeable in the spiritual life purpose. It involves his whole sense of being, worth and the meaning of his life.

A Spiritual Life Path Report makes a wonderful gift to your guy for the Christmas, the holidays, for Valentine’s Day, for his birthday, or simply for you to know and keep in mind as you love your man, whatever his sign.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it"
-Helen Keller
____________________________

The watchword from now until November is - surprises. Some you may like, others you may not. Whatever it is, it will change. You will provide unnecessary suffering to yourself and others if you resist change.

During this time period, situations and relationships you are in may flip-flop. Good, bad, then back again; some mild, some stronger. There will be beginnings and endings ... and they may flip-flop again. Consider all this "in flux" until November, and don't over-react to any one thing.

Remember other people are feeling it too.

Don't force any issues right now. Mainly because there's no reason to!

Sometimes when I'm doing a reading, the person isn't interested in hearing about the global things on astrologically. This is important information. You can understand the people around you when you know what's going on, the things that apply to all of us.

This is a time to stay centered and balanced. A reading can help you.

Geminis and Leos appear to be under particular pressure right now. If you are involved with one, you will know what I'm talking about.

Getting a reading to find out about your particular situation.

PLEIDES / SHOOTING STARS
Meanwhile, remember to enjoy the shooting stars which will peak August 11-13. I talked to someone today who lives up on a hill where it gets dark, and she said she saw some last night and it was spectacular. The Pleides are putting a show for us all to enjoy.

What's Up with Geminis?

Today I read at the Dallas Psychic Fair. It's like a microcosm - a small picture of a bigger picture. Like an example of what this month's reading selection has been like.

Here's what's going on.

• The first 6 people to sit down were Geminis. (A current transit is stressing the heck out of them.) It will pass. But a good time for a reading.
  
• The Leos looked stunned - they've been put through the wringer, and were happy but didn't know why. Why? Because psychically they 'know' that this past week's new moon, solar eclipse in Leo, was the Mother of all NEW BEGINNINGS. Suggest a reading in 2 weeks.
  
• The Scorpios are braced, as if they're about to be hit. Even more vigilant and mysterious than usual ... one of them did not give his real name. Scorps will be hit, we'll all be hit with surprises from now to November, but being prepared is what it's all about. Scorps should get a reading NOW, to prepare for your individual situation.
• Pisces are getting hit hard by people around them looking for comfort during this bumpy ride. They're ready for some relief.
  

I spent some time this weekend with a former professional boxer who also did boxing coaching. Since I coach, I had him show me some moves. That head bobbing, I asked, what's that all about? He said if you duck your head, which is the usual reaction, you'll get clobbered because YOU CAN'T SEE.

So two watchwords for what's coming -- keep your head up, prepared, so you can SEE; and keep your knees bent, like for water skiing. Then you'll be fine.

Gemini Doctor speaks

From a dating site, this guy is a psychiatrist and a Gemimi:

Q. What have you learned from your past relationships.

A. You have to devote time and energy to the relationship. Many times the relationship or the family should be treated as if it was a "job". It actually is the most important one. Despite common believe, it is not a place to express or satisfy childhood needs.

It helps to know the assumptions of the person you're dating, your partner, or someone you're interested in. From this guy's chart, we would see the incredible analytical personality and the strong 'adult' persona. Yes, he can communicate - he's a Gem - but do you want to hear what he has to say???

Let me read for you about your relationships. It helps.

Confidential and fast.

Gemini with Flirting Boyfriend

GEMINI WOMAN DEALS WITH FLIRTING SAG

Dear Semiramis,
Can you help? I'm dating this guy and it drives me nuts because he gawks at other women and flirts with them when we are out. I think he's faithful to me, and it's a good relationship, but I'm still bothered by it. He tells me not to worry about it. However, he complained about my weight and I lost weight, so I think he could do this for me. What should I do?

Dear Gem,

When I looked at your charts, it explained a lot. First of all with your Saturn square his sun and moon, you THINK you should be able to ignore this, that it shouldn't bother you, but it really hits you where you live. In your FEELINGS. It's like "I understand this intellectually, but I can't put up with it emotionally." And you'd think he's return the favor to you, wouldn't you? Why does he do it? His Venus is in Cancer, so he just craves the attention of women, lots of women, all women. Yuch. he's also got Sagittarius rising, so he does NOT like to be told what to do. So if you tell him not to do it, it makes it all the more exciting for him. You beg "stop!" and he begs "don't nag, don't boss me around." Dilemma.

So that explains a lot. Now, what to do about it? Hmmm.
