There is only one way I could live my life

May 2000 was astrologically unusual in several ways. First, and probably foremost, is that the two largest planets in our solar system - Jupiter and Saturn - were conjunct on May 28 in Taurus.

The brief period that these two giants are together (May and June) give us a wonderful view of the contrasts inherent in our corporeal existence. We can be both fearful (Saturn) and hopeful (Jupiter) at the same time or optimistic (Jupiter) about some things but pessimistic (Saturn) about others. Some areas of our lives can be expansive (Jupiter) while others are contractive (Saturn). Mythologically, Jupiter vanquished his father Saturn, during the war between the Titans and the Olympians. The period prior to this war was known as the "Golden Age" when Hesiod said humankind "lived like gods, free from worry," enjoying complete happiness and dining with the gods (F.G. (1968), p. 28). When the Olympian gods seized power, Jupiter became a fickle ruler, subject to whims and rages. These archetypes are still within us. Saturn is our responsible nature that is fearful of being "overthrown" by our adventurous, carefree, fickle Jupiter archetype. Saturn is that part of us satisfied with the status quo but our Jupiter archetype wants to throw out the oppressors in our lives.

Jupiter and Saturn are also squaring (90 degrees from) Uranus in May, though Saturn has been in this square for the last year. Jupiter square Uranus (May 20) is the bolt of lightning out of the blue sky, the totally unexpected turn of fortune for better or worse. It heralds a restless yearning for adventure, excitement and freedom that could create chaos or major disturbances if these needs are thwarted or frustrated. Seek constructive change, don't just react to pressures in a contrary manner. The best laid plans will be disrupted so stay flexible. Too much impulse or impatience will likely bring quick gains and losses.

Saturn square Uranus (May 13) is another mythological and archetypal conundrum. In Greek mythology, Saturn was the youngest son of Uranus. Until recent times, the youngest son often inherited nothing so he had nothing to lose by defying his father. Saturn liberated his siblings by emasculating his father and assuming his station as ruler of heaven and earth. The square between these two giant gas balls represents the test of long-term resistance to change (Saturn) pressured by irresistable need for change (Uranus). Even though Y2K fears were unfounded, the pressures in the Earth itself and in our cultural constructs are still subject to change. The old must give way to the new, sometimes painfully, sometimes awkwardly, but inevitably. Difficulties in your outer world at this time are a reflection of internal conflicts.

Complicating all of this is the line-up of the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Taurus, acting as "triggers" to activate (May 7-18) the symbolic meanings of the Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus square. The last time Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury and Venus all lined up in Taurus was May 1941 when World War II was raging in Europe. On the night of May 10-11, 1941, the worst bombing of London occurred, resulting in 1700 fires and many deaths. Uranus was also in Taurus at that time. This time it is in Aquarius, a more progressive sign than Taurus and the world is not at war or on the brink of war. But big changes followed this line-up in 1941 and big changes will follow this alignment.

I'm living my best option right now and it's still dissatisfactory
You are not the only one.

There are people who are living worse.

Go volunteer at hospice or hospitals.

See them people who would kill for the opportunity to BE YOU!


I think responses like these are what I hate most.

So give another ones. What's your problem?

I hate when people use word hate just because it's short. And they can.

I used the word hate because it accurately described my current feelings. And just the entire message behind posts like that. "Someone else has it worse!" So what? How does that make anyone's situation better?

I provide therapy for people. And examples of how their lives are better than someone else's is the first thing in all books!

If you don't have one leg - look at those who don't have both! It is the key in making people Re-evaluating what they have va what they don't have.

So your hate can be stickies you know where!

You have at least a master's in psychology?

I can say anything and you'll have to take my words because there is no way for you to find out! Why are you poking?

It's something anyone knows.

Except you. Get lost!

I'm poking because in my psychology classes, I don't remember that coming up as a tactic. And as someone who's heading into the field, I'm curious as to what therapy type that is.

You shouldn't need a pro. If you actually gave therapy to people, you would know what type of therapy it was.
I think you got her.

@Gemitati how would you explain this?
