P.S. Have you ever noticed that the word "beautiful" is actually "BE-YOU-T-FUL?" That is, "be you, to a tee, FULL."

Dear, Sweet Rainbow ...

Of course your heartfelt pOeM is not long ... especially as its a sOng from your heart ... and it echoes mine too ... so thank you for your beautiful feeling so poignantly expressed in your words addressed to Linda ... certainly this belongs here for its all about Linda ... and you ... and us ... for you brought our how each knowflake felt in this "ho hum life" with nothing but strife ... till Linda walked in with the Love and Light ... dear Rainbow, never ever think anything you write may be trifle or trite ... because your simple, innocent and Magical soul touches me so ... and all the other Knowflakes you and I know ... Resplendent ... I love the description of you ... Robert sees you true ...

love you
druid
and a BIG WARM HUG for sharing such precious feelings and knowings with us ...

(At least, I can sigh in relief that I have a partner who writes a seemingly looong sooong ... )
This is the 1000th post ... Hip!Hip!Hurray!!!
oops ... 1001 ... I see dear wonderful essence around ... Hi there ... Essence ...love to you ... you witch

Rainbow, that was so lovely, and heartfelt, and soulfully expressed. And you can see I'm not the only one your words touched that way.

So noo, they're not going anywhere ... except straight to the heart. Or as one of WriteOn's (and my own) favorites would say, the "Heart of Gold." That IS what we're all searching for, isn't it? And here it is, beating so strongly ...

And WriteOn, I loved what you said about Linda being "part of a generation of artists trying sincerely and passionately to increase the power of love in the world." Right on, WriteOn!

Hello all you wonderful people.....I was in the midst of posting a reply when it suddenly got zapped into cyberspace....so (Capricorn's are used to this with old father Saturn lurking over their shoulders). It's been my experience that when I go a step forward, he'll knock me two steps back.......well, anyway, as I was saying................

All you WONDERFUL knowflakes have made me feel so very much better....truly you moved me to tears. Pisces tears....it's true I'm a goat, but I have Pisces stelliem, which includes the Moon....You are all SO wonderful!!! And I know you are sincere, which (*sigh*) gives me a little more confidence...

But truly, I did look back at what I'd done, and thought omigosh! This is not good at all, it's - well, as I said before corny. And if I could have taken it off the board, I WOULD have - truly! Lord knows, I tried...Thank you all so much for making me feel better about it......

and Robert.............to compare my childish jottings to the work of those MASTER artists..... Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Mozart, Shakespeare.........Oh Robert, I know you were trying to make me feel better, and you did....but you know what? Our dear Linda would be in league with them....don'tcha think???.....thank you for the encouraging words...you are a sweetheart....

Essence..............always there by my side, dear Pisces friend.....with the most wonderful compliments....How could I not feel better with the likes of you, and Robert and druid and Gregory here to boost my morale? Thank you so very much......

druid.....my cappy sister word druid.....you too, always so graciously accepting everything I scrawl or scribble....like Essence...always there by my side.....but then great mentors, always try to help their protegee to their feet when they stumble. Yes?............Thank you....

and Gregory.................so wise...giving more encouraging words to help restore my confidence....thank you, Gregory.....

Everyone's kind words gave me courage to go back on the board, and "fix" some stuff that needed fixing............might as well, since Gregory is going to leave it there....thank you Gregory....

Peace and love to you all,
an appreciative RAINBOW~

Richest, rightest RAINBOW,

Calling your writing, "Childish jottings. . ."?!?!?! Jumpin' Jehosophat! Heavens and skies of the WISE and ALMIGHTY! (Sputter, splutter,double-take shudder!)

". . .And Jesus saith unto them,'Yea; Have Ye Never Read,' 'Out Of The Mouth Of Babes And Sucklings Thou Hast PERFECTED Praise?'"

Not my words, Rapturous Rhapsodical Rainbow, but His. (That you may see it yours-Elf, and not have to trust a bumbling bore such as I, please see Matthew 21:16 KJV.) I, for one, don't want to argue with that, anymore than I want to cross a Scorpio! Heaven forfend!

Rainbow~

Dear, Dear Knowflakes :

Looking through the eyes of LOVE ... LINDA on LEO in VENUS TRINES AT MIDNIGHT

The golden sun is shines down ... blazing in all its regal splendour ... the soul feels the warmth and reciprocates ... confident ... sure ... the soul walks out into the sun ... no more the uncertainty ... the phobias that came out at night is seen in all the bright light of Leo ... as nothing but mirages of a soul who didn't believe in himself/herself ...

The gait is elegant ... the air is regal and now the mastered look of the 4 stages of development clearly glows in this soul ... The lessons are learnt ... there is nothing more but to teach ... the soul is generous in forgiveness and feels a glow at the nobility that this soul carries ... well, quite like vanity ... well, almost ... Wearing the garbs of Leo with such grace ... this soul expects respect and admiration and most certainly love ... playing the casual lover with this soul just wont do ...

In LISTEN, SHY PUSSYCAT, THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT ... watch the typical Lion not mince words with perhaps ... Sag ... in "Let's get one fact straight, I didn't begin this charade in the shade this game...this unpredictable roundelay...this put-on...this pure and remarkable friendship upon which we're decidedly hung up in this particular century...You took me along to a three-ring circus and promised to buy me a pink balloon ... then you tricked me inside the funny house..." Although Linda may have aimed these remarks AT a Leo, her word clearly reflected the Lion in her ... ... nevertheless ... the message is clear ... No-one plays with regality and gets away with it ...

But Linda does ... as always ... the visionary sees through gentle (?) Lion's disguise, by looking into the Lion's eyes ... as in THREE LIONS ... "Eyes of an arrogant, but gentle stranger, eyes I once knew so well ... smile of a proud and intimate stranger..." that is Leo ... through Linda ...

Maybe so ... the Lion can be arrogant ... proud ... behave as a Stranger ... squashing any intimacy that once had been ... appearing cold and frigid ... yet, the Lion is made for Love ... and yes Lives for Love ... and can generously die for Love ... as did the Nazarene ... Linda knew the inner beauty of a seemingly ferocious Lion ... and the latent wisdom ... that is why she dedicated a truly powerful poem to Leo ... in A VALENTINE FOR LEO, WITH LOVE ... "Once upon a time there was this awfully ferocious Lion with a beautiful mane of long, curly hair, " What a splendid regal beginning ... and yet gently reminding with affectionate humour " who maybe was not always right though God knows he was never wrong" ... his royalty and his leadership "he didn't roar often, but when he did the stars hid behind the clouds and every animal in the jungle shivered and shook not only with fear but in awe of the King's majestic dignity" and so powerful was this Lion and so looked on by the others as a Leader ... all the animals decided to fight each other to the death for no special reason.. so, of course they had to have a leader who was courageous... and confident and ... noble ... who had "compassion for the weak" ... such is Leo Love and wisdom and nobility ...

(Just an important aside : This special pOeM ... A VALENTINE FOR LEO, WITH LOVE ... revolves around Jesus Christ ... a Leo ... )

That is Leo for all of us ... dear Leo ... in love ... is love ... doesn't this say so in by the word druid in LOVE ... LEO ... the EvOLved LEO in "VENUS EXPOSED" ... the LessOn of LEO finally understood through loving Venus ... "Pride, I impulsively tossed out the window when I called to tell you I was sorry" ...

The golden sun of the Leo heart brightens ... and lightens ... the summer is rich and rosy ... like LOVE ... the soul experiences the full bloom of a summer adolescent ... young, full of "joi de vivre" ... wise among the children soul ... the Lion rules ... regal and true ... so full of love for the self ... so full of pride in the I ... the soul realises with great depth ... his/her beauty with his/her reflection ... In LOVE with the self as Narcissus once was ... LEO ... do you hear the Lion's ECHO ? ...

love to you all...
druid

Dazzling Druid,

How wonderfully humbling it can be to see

Delightful Druid,

Our Quint-Essence (that's you, Essence, and don't you doubt it! ) has really said it. Thank you for the serendipitous words you share with us. They mean so much, perhaps more than you know.

Purposeful Peace,

Robert Chancellor

Delving Deep Druid,

Thank you so much for this thread! I have had to think long and hard to try to put into words what Linda Goodman means to me.

She enlightens me to astrology, when I scarcely knew the word.

She teaches me Numerology when numbers were not heard.

She shows me "lexigram" and before I know,
I AM.

My "lion" does retreat, because she teaches me "LEAVE MEAT!" I left it then and there, and oh! what joy you share!

Thank you, rarest RAM. You teach me who I am. You teach us who we are...

Galaxies that see a single star.

(dear donating Druid33,
I am doting on this, thanks to thee!)

rc

clap, clap, clap, clap..

bravo robert.. that was great.. truly echos your sentimental feelings about linda.. very encouraging to hear that you have left meat.. i should be doing that shortly..

did they put all the eggs in one basket when they made you..?? even if they did, i guess this one time they will be wrong about the adage of "putting all eggs in one basket"..

cheers..

harmony with the universe

Wow Robert ... this is so regally put ... thank you ... how true ye be ... how true ... and what Leonine love shineth here ... the golden aura spreads and enhances the already-enriched beauty of this site ... thank ye for your heartfelt thoughts on Linda... this is so LOvEly ...
Do go doting ... dear one ... do go on ...

Dear Knowflakes :

The soul has basked in the glory of love and the self ... the peak of LOVE has been recognised and the soul revels in the self ... now the climax subsides ... the soul gently glides back to fulfill other obligations ... there is so much love to share ... there is so much to be done and the soul seems to be anxious to make up for the "loss of service" to others ... The soul has satisfied the "ego" or the self in LEO ... now it is time to enter the polarity of the "self" - the "selfless" and as the soul progresses in this new light, the soul feels more joy in giving of love so selflessly by servicing ... a kind of justification or "full circle" to the earlier "phase" ... quite appalled at the earlier behaviour of revelling in the self and flamboyant love ... this soul must make up for the flaws ... must cleanse the self ... all pure and spotless ... so spotless as to see the reflection of the soul in another ... all Virgo ...

LEO the LION in LOVE tends to satisfy the passions of the flesh ... VIRGO the VIRGIN in LOVE seeks to purify those passions so as to blend the spiritual with the physical ... this time round, the soul is determined that the "animal" instinct must be removed at all cost ... the soul senses the existence of a higher plane than the physical and the clear imagination knows the joy of transcending and blending the two ...

Yes, Linda so flawlessly understands the evolved soul in VIRGO love especially in relation to the physical aspect ... as in "VENUS IN VIRGO OR VENUS IN ARIES" - just listen to LINDA's Virgo logic and purity towards sex "People who learn passion from a book ... can develop cardboard hearts and paper emotions which fool ... people ... but not anyone real ... I mean love has a rhythm too" and "to look at pictures of people reaching for the miracle of sex is like learning grief from watching Coretta King's face on television ... I look the other way" Pure and Passionate Virgo here on Sex. To Virgo Sex has to be blended with Love ... so intricately that you cannot separate one from the other ... it is Love that teaches one the miracles of sex as in "People teach each other sex and all those zones if love was meant to be between them to learn the words and music of their own, alone and private song together" Can you see Linda sparkling pure and true with such clear Virgo love ... just how many people feel this spiritually passionate where sex is concerned in today's world? No wonder dear Linda spread her magic of true love and spiritual sex - revealing her own love story for us to see and know and feel this love to be ETERNAL ...that one cannot love otherwise ...

Yes, most ofetn ITS NOT EASY TO PLEASE A VIRGIN since they seem to be looking for such perfect passion, such pure love ... but Linda appreciates and gently with subtle humour, makes us realise how we can Love the sterling qualities of Virgo and impart lessons to them as well, since all Virgo souls are sensitive to the truth they are so aware of this word druid themselves ... listen to Linda affectionately speak to Virgo ... "since you grumbled your way into my life with your Venus-in-Virgo slide rules and scales and measuring sticks of perfection" feel the transformation into a near-perfect soul as guided by Virgo ... "I seldom get excited unduly ... I'm on time for appointments ... my ego is smaller ... I've stopped smoking and eating bread ... I go to bed earlier and wiser. I don't argue with rude waiters, get impatient with slow elevators or know people down in the street to grab the first taxi ..." and yet, Linda gently urges us to convey to Virgo-in-Love about the "myth" of "perfection" ... for no matter what the imperfections be ... Virgo wants more than anything and that is ... honesty ... so "I'm sorry about falling a little short like that, its just that I have to save some pieces of myself in case I ever get bored with being so beautiful and clever and good and have to put the old me back together again" but also realising how much a Virgin can bring out the perfection in another soul "this me is maybe the most me of me I've ever known ... to be absolutely honest, as you've carefully taught me to be..." Linda so knew the Virgin and his/her love of the perfection ... so perfect that one has no more to look forward to ... no more to learn ... which can be no fun at all ... "straining emotions through a sterile sieve" that is Linda's message to each Virgin soul and sensing their worry or anxiety to perfect this flaw ... she gently adds ... "but you're improving" ... no flattery, no excess words, undue no emotional flow just a simple down-to-earth clear-cut message which Virgo will know and feel powerfully for and trust ... much more than he/she would ever do otherwise ...

If you are beginning to wonder if a Virgo love be sterile, just read what Virgo has to say about pure love and physical passion in "VENUSIAN VIBRATIONS" ... "couples prancing around nude ... are the last word in throbbing, sensual passion ... I saw two people in a crowded, noisy coffee shop holding eyes and touching hearts and knowing how soon and how deep but waiting just a little while longer ..." how much more passionate can passion get ... how much more clear and pure can love be other than in Virgo ...

Do you think this Virgin soul will ever catch fire ... yes, as in VENUS EXPOSED .. the gentle message from a passionate Virgo truly in love ... "frigidity melted forever the moment you touched me" ...

The Soul experiences the first stirrings of Autumn ... the sun has dipped far below ... there is a coolness and gentleness ... that clears and soothes ... the soul senses satisfication in a clear vision ... in perfection ... in the flawfless picture that is viewed ... the extreme left of the scale of "self" in the last incarnation is dipped to the extreme right of the "selfless" ... an atonement is made ... perfection never ends ... the soul of Virgo is ever-cleaning the debris ... but in the generosity of service, the Virgo further serves to emphasise the beauty of the last incarnation ... as LEO ... isn't then VIRGO a soft and pure echo of LEO ?

love to all
druid
