Left brain times

Sep 23, 2008 10:02

So...I had been looking forward to taking the scriptwriting class this quarter, the only time it's offered. I procrastinated on registering, so I ended up waitlisted and registering for the second required writing class, comp 122 in case there wasn't room in the scriptwriting class. For two central reasons I am choosing the comp class. There are several bonus (!) results of this choice. 1) I am attracted to both of the ladies I sat between for Algebra today, and the teacher, yet this attraction helps me focus somehow. She has a softly direct energy like the teacher I had last fall. Yay. Also the new scriptwriting teacher just makes me miss Gretchen. The chief reasons for dropping scriptwriting are:

The stars are right for some left brain work/play. Until the end of July, an important transit in my chart is Saturn trine Mercury: Mental discipline

Beginning of October 2008 until end of July 2009: During this time your mind, point of view and styles of thinking and communicating have reached a point of stability. You are quite secure in them, for you know how and what you think about most things. This is not a time of change but of preparing to use your mind. Consequently it is an excellent time for any task requiring mental discipline and hard work, such as study, schooling or learning any new mental discipline. It is not a very good time for work requiring great inspiration, intuitive insight and creativity. You will get results through hard work and scholarly methods, not through "divinely" inspired insight.

This influence favors planning and organization of various aspects of your life. You have a definite sense of order in mind, which you can make manifest in your life. This is a good time to put your ideas into practice on the material level and to carry out long- standing plans. If you have planned a project, such as building up a new business or starting a new organization, this is a good time to do it.

With this influence there is a danger that you will let your ideas and opinions become too rigid. It is important that your ideas acquire definite form and stability at this time, because in the future they will be challenged very strongly. You must be reasonably definite and sure of yourself in order to withstand the challenges. But rigidity will only make those times worse, because your thinking will have to be flexible, no matter how certain you are now that you are right.

At this time you have an unusual ability to see every intricate piece of a whole, and your position on most matters is very clear. Consequently your critical ability is greater than usual, and you can see instantly what is wrong in any situation. Just don't let this degenerate into nit-picking.. The personal consultation I had with the astrologer in June mentioned this as an excellent time for studying frameworks on which I can build on for the future. He was happy that I was in school at this time, and from the astro.com blurb above, especially the beginning mentioning that it's time to use the rational influence of Saturn balanced with the talkiness of Mercury to learn new disciplines and carry out long-standing plans, not to be dreamy or...soft. Not to worry, P!nk. You'll always have pink on the inside you can save for later (not save from some alien evil).

My body will thank me! With the time right for tactile, rational thinking, it's good that I'm taking Algebra right now. With the last remaining Algebra class at 7:30 am on Tuesday and Thursday, and the scriptwriting class is Monday/Wednesday at 7 pm. That means 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep three days a week. My dreamlife relies on having eight hours a night. Just because this is a rational time, don't think I ain't goona keep consulting my dreams for answers.

I had an informative dream just last week, the night before going with some folks to the Gorge to hike and collect runestones with Aimee, her sister and Sheleigh, who looks like she might be my future housemate. I was in a grocery store with my stepdad in OKC and saw a classmate from interlochen who was in an andrew lloyd weber musical and still does bway stuff (we once had our backs together for an acting exercise!)--then i saw logan and introduced them as if logan had gone to interlochen too. It's important that the ghost of 11th grade is connected to my present. (Failed potential wha?!) I had a dream two nights prior where I was getting on a plane to BM and went over to talk to David Gallic with long dreds (wisdom/burden/gift) who was getting on another plane. Zoee was the mother of the twin infants he was carrying (my new directions in home and school?), but she was nowhere to be seen. I missed my plane to BM and ended up going along to take care of the babies.

Meanwhile it's getting cold at my house and I do not have the initiative to alleviate this problem before I move out in just over a month. Since the current trend for the housemates is to spend very little time at home, why not join them? I'm in school. One of my goals is to be more active in the boutique. I have tea and blankets to keep me warm.
