Feeling validated

Turns out there is, indeed, some real astrological weather going on. It’s too late to get into it tonight but I’ll share more tomorrow.

For now, I’m grateful to know it wasn’t just my imagination.

Irritated for no reason at all

By all the usual measures, today was a good day…

🌞 Sunny, clear, crisp fall weather.
💪 A bimonthly follow-up appointment that confirmed my continued strong remission.
😊 Random encounters with some really fun and interesting people.
🛒 Calm and efficient grocery shopping despite pre-holiday crowds.
💖 Ramesha in a sweet and cheerful mood throughout.

…but I started the morning feeling mildly irritated and couldn’t shake it off as the day went on.

Hence the irritated looking kitty (I can almost hear her growl).

I’m once again reminded of my astrologer friend who explained “astrological weather” to me — meaning that sometimes our inner turmoil is impersonal; it simply happens and will pass… eventually.

I sure hope I wake up on the “right” side of the bed tomorrow!

Astrological weather

I’m always a little surprised, yet deeply comforted, when I “own up” to my low moments and then receive so much loving support and encouragement in return. I have the world’s best network of friends, for whom I am so very, very grateful!

One of those friends reminded me about the astrological perspective. Which brought to mind a quote from my astrologer friend, Drupada: “It’s just astrological weather.”

Yep. And like the physical weather, it can be messy and inconvenient and scary at times, but it passes. 🌈
