So here's my dealio:

I don't know about you guys, but I had a wierd f*cking August. It was like each day I woke up a little bit more foreign to the person I was the day before. It's like by some way inside of you, you are witnessing yourself falling away and maturing. It was freaky. Anyways, I lost my job in early August. Usually, I get upset about that (actually, don't we all?), but SOMETHING in me felt secure, like I was trusting it. I had a near sixth sense about it that it was gonna be all OK. Fast forward 2 weeks later (and at that point, I'm so thoroughly over sitting around watching daytime TV, lemme tell ya) and I'd been on probably more interviews than ever before in my working life. I was "selling myself" differently. I mean, I usually never sell myself at all. I was always so complacent and, well, lazy stubborn Taurus. But I'd been going into interviews with my Sun sign Taurus on full blast for some reason--which is very unusual for me considering my fear of new people/situations I've had since childhood. So, I get a job offer. Everything's going great. THEN--and this is a clincher--the IRS calls me and tells me they've located $1500 in lost refund money that, for some reason of their own, didn't come to me from 2001.

Seriously...I told you it was a crazy August.

But towards the end, namely the past six days, it's gotten wierder but in a not-so-nice-surprisingly-fun-way. My bf and I started fighting like it was the end of all ends. I started to realize how much I miss my family (me, the one who never calls them until after the fifth call from them) and that peeling away feeling from early August hit a highnote--to the point that it was happening during the day, while I was conscious of it. I was suddenly noticing things about myself, my internal clockwork--it was like something had scooped me up and chucked me down into the eternal depths of my 4th house. The "OMG! That's why I'm like that?!" and the "Now I realize..." which led me to trying to convince myself to NOT be hard on myself for the new personal faults making themselves apparent. My head was swimming. It was like walking through the worst of London or SF fog. Still, I felt incredible urging to "let it go," to "not dwell on it," but remain practical.

THEN the day before the Eclipse, I was at work and I felt a wierd energy around me when I was in the supply closet moving papers. I shrugged it off. Then, as I moved a huge stack of folders I got a deep, painful papercut in my hand. I caught myself just staring at it like gold was coming out or something. I kinda dozed off on it, it was wierd. I didn't think anything of it (after the "oouuuuch!" of course), but later that night, my bf comes running, shakily, into the house, drops his bag to the floor and I notice he's aloof in a scary way, he's shaking. He tells me he was just mugged and that the assailants had cut his hand during altercation. And me, who's never been "motherly" a day in his life, felt such an overwhelming compassion then. I felt like I was gonna boil over with it. Then, the day of the eclipse, I was moody as all heck. But not emotionally, so to speak. Instead, I went "in and out" of myself. I mean, literally, 20 minutes I was my "outter self," the Sun me: charming, incredibly extroverted, bright face, all smiles, talk to any and everyone but then 20 minutes later my "inner self," the Moon fell on me like an iron curtain: I was nervous, scared, hiding, had to force myself to talk, just wanted to be alone. But each time my Sun came, it was more powerful than before, because I was involuntarily realizing WHAT I was feeding the Moon part of me to make it so powerful: that really, I had nothing to be afraid of and that my Sun and Moon should co-exist. And that, growing up, I had denied that somehow, and gave all my powers into my Moon personality. I could literally see my childhood, and instances of me doing that.

Then, today: I got fired. I just started the job! They are gonna restructure and eliminate the position all together. How wierd is that? I mean, what are the odds? I just started that job. Again, initially I was upset but then there was that feeling of opportunity. Like, it's not bad because it's a door opening, not closing.

I was always the stubborn pescimistic, cynical depressed guy growing up and now all of a sudden (tho I now realize it's been a slow change over the past 2 years that has peaked now so far) I'm Mary f*cking Sunshine. And ontop of that, I've never known this much about myself--or should I say, I've never been this AWARE of myself, of cause and effect, of law of gravity, of law of inertia. My friend who studies astrology said perhaps it's not just the eclipse, but Saturn as well (and maybe some other outer planets) metaphysically kicking my arse.

Apparently, the eclipse hit my 3rd House Virgo and 9th House Pisces (and ironically Virgo shares 4th with Libra and Pisces shares 10th with Aries)

what about you guys? Anyone got any freaky wierd stories that are actually telling and good?
