Expanding Everything

A story with examples of Jupiter in charts at the end:

On Sunday, when I posted the weekly blog, I had no idea how apt it was going to be for my own life; particularly today. And so I’d like to talk about that. It’s led me to consider more of my own duality.

Last Saturday I was told that one of the owners where I work threw me under a bus to save her own hide. It was a therapist I trust who told me this, and then two others backed her up without knowing it. So, if that isn’t what the owner did, it’s sure how others perceived it.

There is a part of me still that craves to be petty sometimes. When I heard the owner told the staff that paying my full time billing salary was part of the reason their jobs are getting harder I lost it. I do not make a cent more with my…
