Jitendra,
Let go of the old, and embrace the new. This is something I think, I had been resisting for a very long time. It was written in my transit chart. You had told me this many times(not always out right, but in a way it was planted in my subconscious )...as we studied and you taught me the art of Astrology....Learning what Astrology was about and how it is at work in our lives daily, and then, several years down the road something in the transits in January 2009.... eventually triggered having enough.... it never got any better, it felt as though I was spinning my wheels( the seed germinated) This was the path to FREEDOM..... freedom from control, freedom from the unhappiness, freedom from chaos and freedom to be myself and all the restrictions that were placed on my life. My life had been transformed when I left everything I knew in Michigan and took the opportunity that I was being challenged with. I have NO regrets.....it was the experience of living the language, of immersing myself in it, that has taught me it’s meaning. The symbols have come alive for me through direct experience – seeing what happened as planetary transits impacted my chart. I have been more at peace today than in a very long time. (Blossoming) I am understanding why I was in that relationship and why it ended.( Let go of the old, and embrace the new.) Yes, my friend.... why delay the inevitable? Well said

So you see, you gave me the guidance and lessons to grow from..... Peace and Blessings ~ Lady Leo ~
I'm glad that I could be their at that time and sensed some of the incongruities
in your life. astrology is very interesting in the sense that you can see when someone is going thru some very difficult problems. I have tried to make connection with people when they're going through these problems. sometimes people close down in these times and don't wanna face their problems or solution scenarios. it is as though karma makes us face a prescribed sentence
for sins committed.
in january of 2009 you had pluto connecting to saturn at the time and in the eighth house of transformation. this could break up a lot of traditional views and set patterns in your life.
Uranus was also opposing all your planets in Virgo.
isn't it strange how we can never go back to indian bay? yet it still lives with us all those days we
spoke about all these things. I still remember lonely nights driving to work and coming home in the wee hours of morning. so many times of past recollections flicker in my mind. such closeness we had with so many people and where are they now? it is nice to know that something comes back and lasts in our friendship for instance.
I recognize mental illness to a certain extent in most people.
I guess that is what working in a mental institution can do for you. we all have mental illness
each of us wrestles with our own mental problems. it frightens me sometimes to see it in so called normal people. yet these people are often so much a part of our everyday existence.
it sometimes takes getting pulled into their lives to actually recognize it. then it takes some doing to extract ourselves from them and the situations and surroumdings. there are also those people with mental problems who r actually more loving then 'normal people'. just a few things I learned during those years perhaps some of this makes sense in your life as well.
I guess this phrase summed it all up. someone came in once and said: " I had a hard time figuring
out between who are the clients and who works here."
