Uranus

Girlfriend…..About Those "Buffers"
Dedicated To Kim R-G

By: Sunny Martin

There is this very funny and wise Sagittarian astrologer by the name of Kim Rogers-Gallagher. She has written a couple of books and is getting to be one of the big whips in the astro celeb circles. Heard tell, she now lives in Florida, just about an hour away from me. Now one of the books that Kim has written has the cute title of: Astrology For The Light Side Of The Future. And in that light hearted tome is a chapter devoted to Uranus…..or as Kim fondly calls Uranus, The Loon. So, The Loon is explained, as best as anyone can explain Uranus, through the houses and making contact with everything possible. Oh yes, Kim also added a little something extra to help us get a better grip on The Loon………Buffers……she added Buffers……Uranus and "Buffers."

"Buffers" are those people or situations that come from out of the blue and turn your world upside down.

"Buffers" get you fired from jobs……And you cannot stop laughing while you are in the unemployment line. Or, a "Buffer" unconsciously sets up a situation so that the employee goes to lunch and decides at lunch they have had enough of the present employer, and just decides not to go back to that job……EVER! YEP!!! I was at work one day, went to lunch and just didn't go back -- the "Buffer" being a group of narrow minded ladies who could find at least one thousand ways to be prejudiced. Now look, I don't care if you are black, white, or purple with pink polka dots. I don't care if you are straight, gay, run AC/DC, or y'all like to wear your mama's underwear under the suit and tie. I don't care if you are Catholic, Jewish or Buddhist. You have cash or a valid credit card and want to take a trip, I'll sell you travel arrangements, and I won't make horrible remarks behind your back or snippy comments to your face.

"Buffers" get you evicted from apartments………and make you retaliate by calling the city zone and code department and filing a complaint about everything your slumlord has refused to acknowledge and fix. YEP!!! This "Buffer", Nancy the slumlord, wants to throw me out of the building…..sooooooooo, I just went on-line, found the web site for our city, called the general info number, told the lady what I wanted, was put through to a very nice girl, and she was more than happy to write up everything I told her. City inspectors were out in two business days, and now, Nancy the slumlord has thousands of dollars worth of repairs that have to be done within thirty days and until those are done, we don't have to pay rent. Nancy the slumlord picked the wrong person to mess with.

"Buffers" have you parking a new car in the garage……….after your old car blows up on the freeway…..and the road ranger who comes to your rescue has incredible blue eyes and leaves a "call me at 555-1234" note on the windshield. And the tow truck drive…..what a cutie!! The "Buffer" here is my good friend Debbie -- a real pushy Aries type. Now this girl, once she sets her mind to do something, look out and get out of her way. It was "Buffer" Debbie who used a personal connection at a car dealership, made the initial call and had me in that car dealership real quick. Bye-bye Blazer…….. Hello PT Cruiser. Oh, and boys at Suncoast Chrysler-Jeep, y'all have to drop a moon roof in for me. Thank you very much and I've enjoyed the ride. "Buffer" Debbie also pushed me into getting a cell phone after yelling at me so loud in the new car, if we would have been on a busy street, good chance there might have been an accident……….that's OK, that was the day of her birthday and I treated her to a spa service: Her great, Elizabeth Taylor, natural eyebrows were all cleaned up and professionally waxed……not my fault if the spa lady decided to toss in an upper lip wax. Debbie called her boyfriend and said I tortured her….oh please! What a day that was. Talk about Mars Uranus energy mixing it up.

"Buffers" have a way of making you go from feeling guilty, to feeling great, when you hear you how amazing you look after paying way too much money at the hair salon. The "Buffer" is master cutter Cory Rude….hey Cory, I didn't make it back home until the wee hours of the next morning and I was turning heads everywhere!! Thank you darling!

"Buffers" have you whipping out your VISA card for a last minute weekend fling to Vegas. Two "Buffers" here, only one that really counts. A very dear, much loved, old friend of mine. This is the best of the best in the realm of "Buffers". Usually a "Buffer" comes into your life, does what they need to do to shake-up the status quo and then POOF!! They are gone. It was the "Buffer" that didn't count who is gone, and that was my choice. Nobody, and I mean nobody, tells me I cannot take a trip.

And yes, "Buffers" are summer flings with guys that are very hot, too cool and so fine…..but dang, you got your groove back! YEP!! And the best "Buffer" award goes to that magnificent Pisces Sun sitting right on top on my Mid-Heaven. Oh, sweet. And how long did Uranus hang around the ten degree mark of Pisces? Get your ephemeris out and start counting….that's right, a long time. Now that was just a train wreck waiting to happen! Good thing the furthest we had to travel was across the back alley…….hey, while this could make a really good script for an episode of Desperate Housewives, here is the official statement: The boy from Boston walked into my life, did what had to be done, tore down walls, cracked open my heart. It was emotional, intense and beautiful. Glorious! He is, I am, we both are. And if you didn't catch a little something at the beginning here……think Stella. Uranus took a couple of steps backwards and POOF!!! The best of the "Buffers" is gone. Thank you, Sugar.

"Buffers" can have you moving across country on nothing more than a whim. YEP!!! I moved across country on not much more than a whim -- the "Buffer" being the general population in Seattle that runs inside when the sky gets just a touch overcast and they isolate, they are not real big on cultivating new friendships.

"Buffers" have you creating a job that has not existed in your part of the country before, and actually being able to make some decent money. "Buffers" have a way of pushing you to stand up for yourself and let others know, in no uncertain terms, that the things you do well, you do extremely well, and others would be very wise to remember just how well honed your individual skills are. YEP!! And these two came in one "Buffer" package. One of our local financial planners who at one time was a close personal friend. She is still a financial planner, she just found a way to use my skills on a contract basis - she buys my knowledge to make her look better to her clients. She has been a part of a small business that is evolving. The friendship has been on the waning side because over the last couple of years we have found that our personal value systems and lifestyles are very different. Wanna know how we met? This is so pure energy of Uranus……we met via a message bulletin board on the internet. God bless cyber space!

"Buffers" come in all shapes and sizes. Most are here today and gone tomorrow. You can laugh. You can cry. They bring you exactly what you need! Never for one moment question the great gift you have been given. And always believe that you have been given a great gift. Yes, while a visit from "The Loon", and the cast of characters that he brings to the party in the form of "Buffers" can have you reeling, there are those times when we all need some excitement in life - helps to keep us young and the juice pumping. I have another two years of doing up close and personal with Uranus. I have no idea what is coming, that is one thing about have a visit from the grand master of celestial pranks…..all I do know is that Uranus wants you to keep an open mind. Oh yeah, one other thing I do know, if you keep an open mind, you will most likely come to the same conclusion I have: "Buffers" are GREAT!!!
