Carallel Corner: The House that I Designed

Carallel Corner: The House that I Designed

The House that I Designed

When my husband retired, I was scared to death. Being a high energy person, I suddenly realized he worud be in constant motion with nothing to do. Afraid that he would drive me buggy, I bought a lot near Lake Erie. I said "Here, honey. Build a house, now."

Well, the house building turned out to be a joint effort. Together we drew up the plans on typing paper. First, I would make the drawing, and then he would change whatever he needed for practical considerations. He would have to install plumbing and heating, construct the frame, etc.

It ended up that he made my kitchen smaller than I had designed, but it worked out o.k.

The main thing that I had always wanted was a breezeway. He built the garage extra big with lots of outlets for accommodating work benches and projects. The big garage left a flexible option in case someone would someday wish to add another living unit by remodeling and omitting the garage. Being in a vacation area, many people alter their houses creating accommodations for tourists, etc.

Libra Shares Transiting Saturn Influence

For 2010 Virgo and Saturn intertwine destinies due to the transiting Saturn effects. Saturn has already been in Virgo since about mid 2008. However, Virgos may be feeling as though this Saturn transit has been around forever. Libras usually balance incoming energy manifestations.

However, it’s going to be interesting to see the Libran balancing act as the disciplinarian planet Saturn moves back and forth in its motion relative to other nearby planetary orbits. Since the planet Saturn is exalted in Libra, it may be a labor of love to keep everything on keel.

One retrograde period has lapsed as Saturn revisited Virgo, and then returned to Libra’s side once again.

Virgo can expect another Saturn visit in April of 2010.

One last hurrah happens with Saturn conjuncting Virgo from April through July. After that, the Saturnine energy is Libra’s baby.

Either Virgo or Libra is well equipped to handle a Saturn transit. This is true more so than with other signs, in any event. Virgo’s got the capability for self-discipline, which is what’s needed anytime there’s an astrological transit involving Planet Saturn. Libras and Saturn are just naturally comfortable together.

Still, it’s going to be a time to work toward a goal. Social life will be secondary to work endeavors. This is a really good time to study, or start an exercise regimen with a goal in mind. Enrolling in any kind of a school works with the Saturn energy, too.

Do something that requires you to keep your nose to the grindstone, Virgos and Libras.

As far as the dates of these major planet transits like Saturn, the cut-off time is veritably non-existent. Why? Because the reactions of each individual are different, and Saturn moves through the celestial skies at a steady pace, the restrictive energy fades away, rather than making any clear-cut transitions.

Following a prescribed plan ultimately proves to help both Virgo and Libra who are sharing the same Saturn transit, so to speak. Once the self-discipline has been applied, look for the results to start dribbling in sometime during 2011, depending on the exact date of birth.
