Thanks 4 birthday donations!

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who donated money for my birthday today. It was about the worst birthday I've ever had in my short life, so it really fills my heart with joy to see that online friends cared more about my birthday than my own family and friends. One member of this forum even donated $500; that really blew me away.

At the end of the miserable day, I finally slumped over to the computer and checked the email, and much to my surprise, there were several large donations from people who knew it was my birthday.

I feel so very lucky to have the support of you guys, and I deeply appreciate it.

... ... !

Happy birthday to a King of the Art.

How long does the Saturn Return last, do you know?

It is supposed to last around 2-3 years according to astrologers. I just "finished" going through one (I guess...)...it marked the beginning of my interest in alchemy.
here are some dates:

It's not all bad (not that I'm saying I liked all the tumultuousness). Sometimes it can involve letting go of things or exploring new things (projects, directions, new chapters in life).

Your personal Saturn Return is just gradually building up and should climax towards the beginning of October this year, and will be finally done with you in the Summer of next year (2011). It can be tough, but if you're smart and sensitive (which you are ), the aftermath will be most beneficial.

So much crap you no longer need will be cleared out of your life, new doors will open and new beginnings will emerge - you'll be grateful you went through it. It can be a hard lesson and a trying time, but definitely a worthwile experience, especially in the aftermath.

What Saturn hates most is building castles in the air (that's Neptune's job - the 'psychic' planet that rules Pisces). But Saturn will not mind building those castles in the air as long as you have solid foundations in the ground. That's what its trials would have you accomplish.

It's a rite of passage towards maturity that we all must go through... Some dreams of youth will disintegrate, while the ones which best reflect your true inner nature will receive solid foundations from which you'll be able to really take off to flight

With friendship,

I've already gone through my share of hell and had the "growing pains" experience. Going through any more bad times won't teach me any lessons; I've learned all that can be learned from being tortured by life and my own mind.

Things have been getting much better for me this year, and I've met some new spirit friends that are making my life far more magical than I thought it would be this soon in the developing of my powers. So I don't think this Saturn Return is going to be about going through hard times. I'm also a firm believer that the elixir frees you from the programming of planetary influences and your zodiac sign.
