Nov. 3, 2005 Are you a clutter bug? People used to tell me clutter in one's house looks like the inside of that person's head. If you believe in Feng Shui, there may be more truth to that statement than most realize. The clutter in our house represents areas in our life that we have been avoiding for emotional reasons. Getting rid of the clutter means going through some very strong emotions. I can look at my office which is a total mess. In Astrology, Saturn is the stern taskmaster and the tenth house rules the professional life. For the last two years, Saturn has been kicking me around in my tenth house. I have acquired minimal wage jobs from hell with dysfunctional employers. I am terrified of even going out to look for a job. I have decided to go professional as an Astrologer but there is fear there too. Last year, I dropped out of Truck Driving School. On the second day of driving, we were driving fully loaded 18-Wheelers on the freeway. My partner wrecked on the second day and I hit a Petervelt in the parking lot that same day. They were calling the instructor CIA for Crash Instructors Anonymous. I woke up one morning saw the storm from Hurricane Frances outside the window. "Hell no! I am not driving in that storm, I thought to myself. The instructor seemed to be relieved when I told him I did not want to continue. Intellectually, I know that Truckdriving is not a suitable profession for me. That didn't stop feelings of failure that were so bad that I isolated myself from my friends. I didn't want to share my feeling of humiliation with them, Astrology is something that I have been doing since my teens. My Astrology buddies tell me that I should go professional. It's perfect. I am good at it. I can stay home and I don't have to drive. I hate driving. Nevertheless, the pain of past failures block future successes. As I clear the clutter out of my office, I can visualize that hurt going away. I can make room for success as an Astrologer. There is still a part of me that wants to drive an 18-Wheeler. I would much rather be in a partnership than to be on the road. What blocks future relationships? I can take a look at the clutter in my bedroom. Getting rid of those jeans I had as an exotic dancer means accepting my politically incorrect curves. It means releasing fear that I can never find love because I can't compete with Barbie Doll BOTS. If I reject my body, I am stuck with it. That may feel safer than confronting the hurt of past partnerships where I had to walk on eggshells. I think I will put up pictures of dancing couples in my bedroom. I will be dancing with a loving partner instead of dancing alone on stage for men who don't recognize my true value. Difficult feelings and clutter can be confronted one pile at a time. Write down the feelings, clear the clutter and visualize a better reality. Space created by releasing clutter allows all gifts to flow into physical, spiritual, and emotional levels. ------------ About the author: Bonijean Isaacs is a freelance writer and Astrologer in West Virginia.
