Snot and Moon-Neptune

So, my two and a half-year old cherub (with Pluto rising – you see the tongue in my cheek?) has started playgroup. His intensity is legendary: he has no idea at all about personal space and no respect at all for a conversation that may have been in full flow before he decided he wanted to speak. Of course, there is an element of that in all toddlers, but, being the fourth of four boys, I am naturally aware of the “norm” and, by that token, of the intensity lent this little fella by Pluto rising in his Nativity.

My point is this: a small person starts playgroup and suddenly your household is infected with all the bugs and infections such small people breed. A playgroup is a hothouse for such things. And your nipper hasn’t been exposed to them before, so naturally he has no immunity. So naturally, he catches everything going.

And passes it on.

For me, it started with a bit of a sore throat which became more painful and then less so and now, almost gone, I feel mildly snotty. Not hideous. Not fun, but not hideous.

My lovely astrologer, on the other hand, has been floored. He is, as we speak, snuggled up on the sofa with a quilt and a wheat sack to warm his freezing feet. He is streaming snot (which offends his Virgo no end) and, frankly, finding it tough to maintain a sense of humour.

Why does he have it so much worse than me?

Well. He assures me that by tomorrow he’ll be much better. After all, in the small hours his secondary-progressed Moon opposition Neptune will have passed over.

Astrology. You gotta love it.
