Birthdays
I spent a lot of time this weekend reflecting on Birthdays. My own was Friday at 8:42 PM.
I spent the day reading Birthday wishes on Facebook. For all the back and forth controversy about the social media platform, I like to think of the good things it offers. It offers connections.
Almost 30 years ago, I moved across the country for a job, I left my roots. My family. My friends. Despite phone calls and occasional visits, I lost touch. That was until Facebook opened its doors in about 2007 or so. All of the sudden, I could talk to and reconnect with old friends and family.
It also opened opportunities to create and find new communities of people I would never have come into contact with.
So in spite of the fake news, the barrage of ads, scams, threats, Big Brother spying and other bullshit, it offers a place to connect. And on your birthday, it is kind of fun.
Then the Kids came over and we had a Socially Distanced birthday meal. Ended with a fire in the firepit on the back porch.
How you celebrate your birthday is part of your own story. Past traditions. New traditions. You find what you like.
Some resent the passing of time and what the “age” means. I stopped counting after 30. None of the ages after that seemed any fun. Just a number.
For me it is another year to spend with the people I love following our dreams together. A few less nightmares might be appreciated. We will see what we can manifest.
Checking your Chart
With Astrology, there is much that touches on your birthday – or Birthdate.
May 29, 1967 @8:43 PM
It was a clear night in Whittier, California, so I am told. I was born under a rising Gibbous Moon.
Born in late May means that the Sun was in Gemini – 9 degrees of Gemini in fact with the Sabian Symbol A Quiver filled with Arrows. Metaphorically, one’s arrows are the efforts, endeavors and aspirations one shoots out into the world. Having the right arrow for the right target is a plus.
Does this define me? Is it the Gibbous moon? Is it the heavy influence of Mercury in my chart (that was not retrograde BTW). Or was it that my birthday fell on a Monday? Hmmmm. A pretty Happy Monday for me!
On my birthday I like to review my personal chart and compare it to the new year date. It is a simple chart on the astrology program I use. But one I always look at. Your birthday is kind of like your personal New Years Celebration. What will happen in the next year of my life? Anything new I should be looking for? What do the aspects have to say? Do I have birthday resolutions I want to make?
My sun is in the 6th house. People having Sun in 6th house will conquer their enemies and will prove to be great friends. They can go to any length to help their friends. It is there this year with Venus in Conjunction. Good opens for love and money!
Uranus is conjunct my Natal Nodes. With North Node conjunct Uranus, you are encouraged to become more daring and innovative; more progressive in your way of thinking.
Much to think about. Looking at your chart, you begin asking questions. What does this mean? Does this hold relevance? Do I see the significance?
This year, I am experiencing the Black Moon’s transit through Aries. It’s digging things up and plumbing the depths my my soul.
Each of these conjunctions and oppositions I will be paying attention to throughout the next year. Will they cunfold in an expected way? We shall see.
