Hi pm
Good to hear from you! How are you?
Yes, developments in the sense that I'm doing the work and getting rid of the baggage (a nodal transit to my Venus/Saturn opposition is helping with that - South Node on Venus, North on Saturn). Past fears of loving, and of being loved, are coming the fore to be acknowledged and let go. I've just read a novel which made me shudder with recognition, about a desperately lonely woman in her 30s who latches on the first relationship that comes her way, only to have her heart broken by someone who just feeds off her desperation. Been there! I think I was guided to read the book, as I needed to be reminded of who I was, so I could let go of it.
I seem to be attracting new guides into my life, in particular the tarot reader, she was very definite about my finding someone who I think I "deserve". I had already started saying, but never to her, that I was still single because I hadn't found someone "who deserved me"! My self worth has rocketed recently. My concept of what (and who) I deserve has changed immeasurably for the better.
So who is Jupiter in Capricorn? I think I know, but I'm keeping it quiet for now!

Hi Ariesmoon! I've been working on that too. Here's some other tips I picked up. Just spend a little time each day on these things and you will be amazed at the results! - Make sure you get rid of physical baggage. If you don't love or need it, let it go. Go through everything, a little at a time. This includes the junk in your car, closets, storage sheds, your work space at your job, kitchen drawers, etc.
- Pretend he is already in your life. Do you have an empty drawer for his things or space in the medicine cabinet?
- Bring images of happiness into your home. You have already been working with music. Very good! But, get rid of all the artwork depicting sad lonely people. No one should be alone or stagnate in your pictures. They should be happy, active and interacting with others. Happy couple pictures are ideal - dancing, traveling, eating, playing, making love. Place images or symbols in each room of your home to remind you of all the things you will do together in that room.
Change comes quickly when you prepare for it. However, the process can take a long time. Don't get discouraged! Every day is a new day to make a difference. Love, Aphrodite

Hi Aphrodite what a fantastic list. I do like the idea of making space for him - he'd have a hard job getting in the front door at the moment, let alone in the bedroom ...
And getting rid of the sad lonely pictures? Oh that will be so tough, but only because I spent a lot on them, and I don't part easily with possessions. That's telling in itself, all the more reason to part with them. I'll look into auctioning them, and buying happy pictures like you suggest. I look round this room where the computer is and there are .. 6 lonely sad people. Enough said!
I've already started clearing drawers, closets, and bookshelves, the difference is amazing even with a small clearout. I'll keep going!
As for happy joyful things, I've just (today) found out that I've got a part-time job working with children, which has been my dream ever since leaving my old job.

Oh, Ariesmoon! ;D Congratulations on the job! That is wonderful! But back to the artwork. Yes, let me reinforce this. Lonely people have to go!!!! Don't keep anything in your environment that does not support you. These images depict a sad, lonely (hermit) you, and that is a heavy weight for your pysche to bear. You are getting "I am a loner" messages consciously and subconsciously all day long! Don't worry about replacing everything all at once. Wait until you find just the right thing that truly lifts you up where you want to go. Just take the old stuff off the walls right now. As for possessions... If you haven't even touched it in a long time, it needs to go. Even if you think you might use it someday, you haven't in a long time and now it just adds to the stagnation in your life. If you must keep it, then find a way to use it now or give up and let it go. Yes, this is my Cancer Venus talking to your Cancer Sun! I know this is hard, but I will come spank you if you don't do it! So there! Much love and happiness to you, Aphrodite

That made me laugh so much! I'll do it, I'll do it! And I LOVED these pictures when I bought them. Still love them. But they do have to go.
The image of stagnation in possessions is so powerful - I really needed this Aphrodite, you are such a star. Bless you.
Coming back to this, I've realised I have some framed pictures of my own - photos, and a complex and colourful cross-stitch that I completed a few years ago. Most have been in the spare bedroom, oh isn't that telling! Where no-one can see them! I'm going to make a public display of "my work", to remind me (and others) of my creative talents.

Ariesmoon, I am excited for you! New job, potential new man, new attitude! So wonderful. I'm going to add my two cents and suggest you play music that reflects the kind of relationship dynamics you want. Kim suggested this to me a few weeks ago, and it's done wonders to lighten my mood and to remind me of what I want to attract to my life. Throwing out stuff is difficult. I have a lot of fixed energy in my chart and I am a pack rat for real, so I know how you feel. I'm going to embark on a Toss It campaign of my own. Much needed for me. And much luck to you! Pam

Hello Ariesmoon, LOL - good! Glad to get a laugh. ;D I'm not really a star, though. I'm having so much trouble with this myself that it was obvious to me that you would struggle with it, too. My Mom is a Cancer. She collects figurines, dolls, clothes, multiple sets of dishes and on and on and on. You name it, she keeps it. Every Cancer influenced person I know shares this trait. If you think they don't. Look again! Case in point... My Feng Shui friend came over to check out how I was doing. She looked around for a minute and then headed straight for the closets, looked under the bed and asked how many storage sheds I had. GULP! I was SOOOO BUSTED! She looked in the back of my Jeep as she was leaving and I could see the wheels in her head turning. My Jeep was stuffed full of boxes of CRAP that I was attempting to hide from her. We (you and I) both know that we can get rid of lots and lots of stuff and still have - LOTS and LOTS of STUFF! LOL! Seriously, it will be that way even if we believe we are being ruthless about getting rid of things. But at least it will be happy stuff, with good energy that we can use. The added bonus is that our home will be inviting to others who want to be with us. Just remember: Hiding your stuff doesn't count! Aphrodite

Oh, you Cancer-influenced ladies. My sis and mom are respectively Venus/Mars and Sun Venus Jup Cancers and both hoarders and that almost gets me wheezing... I do not have a lot of stuff, my materialistic wishes involve travel and food. Find-love tips: Create a luscious mural in your bedroom; Make the 'other' side of the bed nice and comfy too, put bedlamp and stuff; Make space on both side of the bed, do not put in against a wall other then with headboard; Keep the stuff that belongs to who you want to be, discard rest: I chucked out all my * looking for love * how to find love * problem oriented books; Brighten up your space with light; Daydream a lot about the kind of love you'd like, what kind of love/relationship would bring a smile on your face (and do not make it personal, maybe the universe has plans you cannot even phantom); Nice example, I started playing/let's pretend about two years ago, and I put "R will call' on Thursday the 11th of January 2007. Well, the R I had in mind did not call, but my bf actually called for the first time that evening, and his name starts with an R too! Also, try this: www.thecosmicorderingsite.com/index.htm?hmirm=awco&gclid=CNm_lfXImJcCFc0a3godFzNVJAAbove all, have fun, keep the need out! Juliet

I'm still working on who/what Jupiter in Capricorn might be. I might have a clue. I was given a tarot reading last weekend, by someone who runs an holistic healing and crystal shop, and she asked me straight out if I would like to run some astrology workshops starting in the new year. We had never discussed it before. Does the tarot have an astrological ruler? I wondered if it was Jupiter, given that it's ancient teaching. I meant to send you this link, but forgot. It is so handy. Really helps when you need to look up a rulership in a hurry. www.skyscript.co.uk/horary.htmlPersonally, I like to think of Jupiter in the 10th as you, living out your destiny. The nice thing is that it doesn't have to a single meaning. Energy can and should play out on many levels. That's key to living life at the fullest potential and growth. Aphrodite

Thanks everyone for all these great comments and links, I've been away so am just catching up! One thing I have noticed I do, and that's hang onto people as well as "stuff" - clinging on to friendships and loves long after they have ceased to serve me. Letting go of those is even tougher. But with Pluto now back in Capricorn, the message is clear ..! Will be back later once I've unpacked!

Aphrodite I've seen your PM and will be replying very soon - meanwhile there's a CD collection to think about and the "most played" songs on my travel-everywhere-with-me stereo. They are all sad, lonely, wistful songs. To match my pictures. I didn't admit until today that I choose these songs above happy ones, thus reinforcing my loneliness. I wallow, in other words...! And to make it worse, I sing with them, so the words go "out there", and when I'm alone singing them, I cry. So today I consciously sought out happy music, stuff I hadn't played for ages, and boy did it make me feel good. I've got a great collection on there, it's just that I don't play them very often!!
I'm going to revamp the playlists and take out all those songs which reinforce this sad, lonely, yearning image, so that I send out only positive messages when I sing! I'm loving this exercise!
Something else has just occurred - which is an obsession, as far back as I can remember, with lighthouses. I've got books, calendars, and framed pictures of them. I'm convinced I had a happy previous life living and working on one. But they are for the most part, incredibly lonely places. So out go those too.
All this is very much in line with a North Node transit to my Aquarius South Node/Saturn conjunction - helping me to detach from this attraction I have to lonely people and places. With a lot of help from my friends on this forum!

Juliet, I wanted to say thank you for those wonderful ideas, I went straight and rearranged my bedroom (moved my bed away from the wall, and put a bedside table and lamp there!) I've changed my pictures in the bedroom too, no single people allowed! And I'm working through my book collection to take away all of those "problem" books that I seem to have.
Thanks too Aphrodite for the link, and for the comment about energy playing out on many levels. I love that.
Now I just need to start work on the mural - a great idea, I'll work on some ideas. And I'm off to look at the cosmic ordering site too. I have no problem daydreaming!
A friend said such a lovely thing today to me about my love of lighthouses. She said that it signified that I'm a beacon for others, helping them to find their way home safely. I was stunned - it's such a lovely image.
