September 5, 2007. I am sitting with my partner of two years in our couple’s therapy session. I have been struggling with ending this relationship for months now. I do not feel I have the strength I need to walk away, without the support of our therapist. I need a witness. I need the safety and the container of this sacred space. I need her help.

I tell my partner that I have been trying to gain a stronger sense of my own power, within our relationship. Nonetheless, I keep hitting that proverbial wall. I have been swimming upstream for way too long and I am tired. I have no energy left. My batteries are drained. I know no other way to get back my power, unless I leave. I want to end the struggle. I want to let go, and flow…the waters of life want to carry me in their most natural way…downstream, and I want to go with them. I have to surrender.

On that day, I had forgotten I was eleven days into my sixth Venus Return Cycle. I was aware that I had been in an eleven month Uranus initiation to my natal Moon, and knew that if I tried to hold on, it would get harder. Uranus to my Moon. Time to change. Whatever I had been holding onto in a fixed place inside of me, in my mental construct of “reality,” Uranus was instructing me it was time to let go, surrender and trust. Trust I was being taken where I needed to go. No holding on…to anything, is what it felt like. Freedom from my past habits, patterns, addictions (Moon). Liberation from the prisons of my mind. Time to loosen the attachments and re-wire. Whatever part of me was still in shackles, I needed to unchain myself. I needed to steal some new fire. I needed to awaken…to a new me.

On August, 25, 2007, Venus made her new statement of intent to take me and the world stage, into an intimate look at the goddess as she shows herself in Leo. Radical self-love is her loudest message to me as she expresses herself through that archetype. Radiant light and power. The energy of the Sun itself. No shame about shining. Unabashed brilliance and expression. The fiery flame of creativity. She shines like this, giving me her energy. I cannot live on this earth without her. I need her light to sustain me. I put her on my altar, bow and pray to her, expressing my gratitude. I know I will have 584 days to deepen my relationship with her. To glean her medicine. I will have to let her die first, in the old form of our relationship. She will take me through a descent, to the underworld, and then back out again. I will rise with a new understanding, another level of integration. The journey will be perilous, but it is one I must take.

On a more personal level, the initiation is about my own Venus in Libra, the goddess as she expresses herself in partnership. The current mystery school Libra is exploring is one of conscious, equal partnership. The old days of hierarchy and relationships ruled by class, social and political structures, are attempting to break down. Relationships born out of an authoritative and power rank, wanting to dissolve. Libra is investigating co-creation at its best. The high ideals around equality in relationship.

I want this. I cannot keep giving away my authority, my power, in relationships. I want shared power. As first time Libra, there are minefields. I will often give up parts of myself, my own truth, because I know I have to learn to consider someone else. Where the give and take occurs, where the balance and harmony of the two create a conscious union, I am being given another opportunity to evaluate. The masculine and feminine parts of me, want to integrate on a deeper level. A new experience of wholeness. I am after the Sacred Marriage. I know it must first take place within me. My Beloved is mine and I am His. The physical form of that sacred union surely must follow. I am committed to finding me and finding him.

At the point of this conjunction there is only one aspect to it, a trine from Ceres at 28 Leo. This says that authorities, likely for their own possibly Self-glorifying or aggrandizing reasons, will encourage the Sagittarian acting out and acting up. On a larger scale, this suggests a change in seasons; think of this in as many symbolic ways as possible, so that you'll see the writing on the wall when the time comes--there'll be no going back once the change occurs, and if you're aware of this, you'll be one step ahead.

Society-wide this aspect could see a release of pernicious information (under the guise of 'informing or educating') in an attempt to control (somehow Palin comes to mind--this may be an obvious choice; less obvious might be a 'power behind the throne' like Cindy McCain or Michelle Obama, or someone 'queenly'--Oprah?!) taking a stance in a last-minute effort to influence things. By November 2nd, just before the election, Juno will have moved into Capricorn--the queen becomes practical, represses the urge to flaunt her 'stuff,' and may instead work for quiet but concrete results; suddenly, we're all business.

By the 16th of November Venus catches up to Juno at 4 Cap 54, with Ceres still in trine, though now from Virgo. This scenario implies a reckoning of values, finances, or relationships (but with an enormous emphasis on the material, and on government and other social structures) via Self-empowerment and each person's own societal position; the success of this assessment will be highly personalized, but again, we see those in authority supporting a stance of personal responsibility, and from a very critical viewpoint (Virgo). This, however, might be a ploy by those who control the resources; if they can convince each of us that we are individual 'islands,' that we alone are responsible for our position, then we won't look for accountability within our systems or our government.

History could easy have been very different. On 28 June 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand's driver took a wrong turn, this wrong turn gave an assassin who had failed to assassinate the Archduke earlier that day a second chance and this time, he succeeded. The assassination set off a series of events that led to to World War 1, the Bolshvka Revolution, World War 2, the development of nuclear weapons, the Cold War, the formation of a state of Israel and many and most of the events of the 20^th century. If the driver had not made that one mistake, all of 20^th century history could have been different and most that live today may not have existed at all.
What I said in the first paragraph apples to every major figure in history, they could have easily have different personality's or not existed at all and history could have been very, very different.

And it goes beyond modern human history if at least one of the events that led to the evolution of humanity had been different humanity may not have evolved. A single mass extinction, a single massive volcanic eruption, a single meteor that hit the earth. If any one of those happened or didn't happen the evolutionary history of the earth could have been different, very different.

The early solar system was a chaotic place, the earth was struck by another planet the debris of which formed the moon, Venus was struck my another planet and as a result is spins very slowly in the opposite direction, Uranus was struck by another planet and as a result it was knocked on its side. Astronomers have found planets, large gas giants orbiting close to there stars, some as close as Mercury is to the Sun, they could not have formed there, they had to have formed further away from there star and moved closer a proses that would have destroyed any earth like planet that may have formed or sent them flying away from its parent star. All this tell us how chaotic planet formation is and that the Earth could have easily been consumed, destroyed, shot out of the solar system or altered in a manner that could have made it imposable for life to form.

If you are one of these people who think that you need a god for your life to have purpose and meaning, just think about how easily things could have tuned out so different. Even if you believe in a god you still improbable, if that sperm did not the ovum or or a different ovum came down the tube you could be a different person, or if your parents did not have sex at the right time you may not have existed at all. So if you need to find meaning for your life just think about how easily thinks could have been so different.

In myth Venus loved to adorn herself  and make herself appear beautiful. Venus was the image of perfect beauty. Yet beauty, changes so rapidly according to the year we live in or the country we are born in. Venus in astrology represents the goddess of love, sexuality and fertility. The above film of women through time may even depict the exaltation of Venus in Pisces, as women on film are idealised and usually through the magic of television and in magazines are free of flaws, you have the idealization of beauty projected to us from magazines and film, and what is considered beautiful at this moment in time. Venus in myth emerged from the sea, as she was born from chaos. Venus was known to bring pleasure and she was romanticised and thought to appear in a golden light.

The desire for love and relationship has always been one of human nature's strongest needs. Venus loves to be in the sign of Taurus as she enjoys the pure body enjoyment of this sign with all it's sensual pleasures, and often she appreciates physical beauty. Venus in Libra focuses on bringing opposites together in harmony, which is relevant a she was born out of chaos so she is the harmonizing quality in relationships when placed in the sign of Libra. With Love Venus embodies self worth (Taurus) and what she alone possesses, and through Venus in Libra she asks do I please you. Venus in myth was known to be a self possessed woman no one owned her, she did as she pleased. Yet she also enjoyed  bringing pleasure to others through her great beauty and charms. The downside to Venus in astrology especially when strongly figured in the natal horoscope is that she has to be constantly validated. When other beautiful women were in her presence she showed her more jealous face. Often women struggle with outer beauty, this is our Venusian side as we desire to look beautiful. Yet what does real beauty mean, and does it all reflect back to our own self worth and value we place on ourselves through other people's eyes.

Venus in the birth chart often reflects the woman's image of herself, holding up her hand held mirror and looking at her reflection. Through our own natal Venus we can examine the qualities we find beautiful in ourselves and in others. Also we have to think about what messages we give ourselves when we look in the mirror do we tell ourselves we are ugly, or are we pleased by our appearance.

Venus in hard aspect to Saturn may indicate that fears and insecurity are wrapped up in Venus, and it is difficult for this aspect to value themselves, especially through a woman's chart and her own feelings of being a woman can leave her with feelings of inadequacy. Venus aspecting Pluto may feel some shame about how they view what is beautiful and how they act out their own Venusian nature, some shameful feelings from the past may need to be eliminated for her to feel worthwhile and valued for there are some powerful desires within this Aphrodite, a lot gets tangled up in this Venus for she carries Pluto in her expression of love and through her attractions, often relationships have entailed emotional abuse, or manipulation, she can often feel ashamed of her own desires. As a lover once she releases herself she can be the most passionate, with feelings that run deep. Difficult aspects to Venus in the chart can show difficulty in us feeling beautiful and worthwhile and thus letting relationships and love into our lives. If what pleases other people becomes a means to your own self worth then you may be destined to have unhappy unfulfilled relationships. The standards on beauty in society projected on to us are images which we can never live up to. Venus needs to make the best of herself her talents and her charms through the individual natal placement. Venus in a fire sign can indicate someone who needs passion, excitement and drama in their relationships not the typically duty bound type of love, unless other factors like Saturn aspect their Venus. Venus in earth need dependable down to earth relationships, a steady reliable love. Venus in Air values the social element in their relationship, the beautiful words and conversations. Sharing thoughts together with a partner. Venus in Water needs to lose themselves in partnerships and form the ultimate soul bond, Venus in water primarily relates through feelings.

Honour Venus in your natal chart by sign house position and aspect. Know what pleases you, what area you find pleasure in, what clothes & jewellery you like to wear. Admittedly I have aimed my Venusian article at women, usually men are attracted to qualities in women which reflect their own Venus. Men also need to enjoy their own feminine side and what brings pleasure to them.

 Be Aphrodite in your own life.

Dacă nu îţi spun ce simt pentru tine asta nu înseamnă că nu am aceste sentimente, voi femeile vă daţi sentimentele pe faţă spuneţi ceea ce simţiţi, noi nu putem face asta, pentru că poate fi văzută precum o slăbiciune.

Eu mă retrag în "peşteră", până găsesc răspunsurile la întrebările tale.

I have run across mentions or references of Valient Thorr throughout the years. It is said that he is a humanoid from Venus and came to Earth in the 1950's and was met by the United States Government. There are several pictures of this man. The most information I have been able to find on Valient Thorr so far is from this website. Valient Thorr's, or Valthor's, message seems to be one of peace. In everything that I have read the jest of what he's trying to do is prepare Earth for Christ. He says that humans are the only "fallen" race in the universe and that we are being watched by multiple alien species. He says he is from Venus, but from underneath the surface and is from a higher dimension than us. If you are curious and want to read more, there are a couple transcriptions of some of his messages available online both here and here. Alahoy!

Jocelyn and I enjoy watching them harvest apples after we release them from their stalls. The trees are in clusters, here and there. It's fun to watch who goes to which trees.

Tonight, we followed Joey and Rick down a hill to find them eating together at a single tree, totally out of sight of the herd.

Rick and the 3 babes (Kelli is 3 yo, Endy & Joey are both 2 yo) eat far more apples than anyone. Odella has several favorite trees she will only share with Dorinda or Rick. Once, at the lone apple tree on the hill in the big field, Venus, the colts, and Thyme were sharing the apples off a limb that had fallen earlier that day.

A few days ago, all the adults left paddock 2, where the food station is and the bulk of the apple trees, to graze in the big field. They crossed paddock 3 - all but Rick, who was in the apple grove of paddock 3, harvesting apples - and began their ascent on the big field. Left behind, were the 3 babes, who seemed to plan on tasting an apple from every tree in the paddock. We watched from our vantage point on the side of the big field hill as the babes came out of one grove, crossed over an opening, and disappear into one of the lower groves. They seemed to have grins on their faces and no intention to hurry to join the herd.

Hurray for apples, the temporary cure for herd bound behavior!

What our horses do in our veteran's program simply astounds me. Our program focuses on emotional healing and was created out of our own experiences with our horses. Our horses each have different gifts in the healing of human emotions (trauma, grief, fear...). Unlike most therapy programs, we let our horses choose who they visit. They are always right. It thrills me to hear a person say, "this is the horse I wanted to get to know".

Odella and Thyme attend the fear-filled and traumatized. Tess, Venus, and Rick go to those who are grieving - they have a gift for helping people cry out bottled up tears.

Horses most often show understanding of our tone of voice and attitude. When our Drum stallions were tiny tykes, I played curiosity games with them. I'd say enthusiastically, "Joey, Endy come see what I've got!" or "Come see!" Naturally, my attitude was the loudest message they were honing in on. The more I made out that I had a secret to share just with them, the more curious they were. As with most of us, they love feeling special.

Horses also talk to us. Fly season is an excellent time for your horse to prove how smart they are. Both Tess and Dorinda recently moved around me to present the offending fly on the other side of their neck. The other day, Joey hiked his hind leg up (like a dog!) and asked me to scratch his itch. He and his mom, Tess learned that move from Thyme!

8 out of 9 of our horses will go to their stall when they're hovering over us (all of them are between 15.3h & 17.3h) at mealtime and we say, "go to your stall". Tess (17.2) is the exception. She knows exactly what we are saying and yet, she stays in our face disagreeing - she says, "I'm not falling for that. I know you'll put me in next if I stay with you." Once in a while, she'll say "ok" and go to her stall - just depends on her mood.

Birth of Venus

Originally uploaded by Sandruz

Venus

In Roman mythology Venus is the parallel to the Greek Aphrodite, although Venus is more somewhat more subdued than Aprhodite.

Venus is a goddess of seduction and, in one group of rites and myth, she is associated with Roman wine fesitvals (Vinalia) and thus regarded as a mediator between Jupiter and the Roman people.

She is also the mother of Aeneas, who according to the poet Vergil is the founder of Rome.

And she was the lover of Mars, who with the mortal Rhea Silva begat the twin brothers Romulus and Remus.

Since Rome was named after Romulus, who after disposing of Remus became the first ruler of Rome, Venus plays a kind of dual role in the founding of Rome. As such, she was given a solemnity among the Romans that Aphrodite did not enjoy among the Greeks.

Venus' first known temple was built shortly after 295 BCE. And despite New Age and Jungian attempts to treat her as some pristine archetype, and others to link her to the Indian Vedic term for desire, her historical roots remain obscure.

However, it's clear that her character did develop, as most mythic entities do, along with sociopolitical changes in Rome. The influential aristocrat Sulla called her his "Protectress" and by the time of the Roman Empire, Venus was incorporated into the official pantheon.

In astronomy Venus is the second planet from the sun. Due to its brightness, Venus looks like a star and is accordingly called the "morning star" or "evening star."

My 5 mares rotate responsibilities. Depending on the situation, a different mare will take the lead in traveling from pasture to pasture and in standing guard. However, Rick, a gelding, is the herd leader and is usually in charge of discipline.

On this particular occasion, Rick was eating apples, with the others, in a grove about an 1/8th of a mile away. So, Venus and Dorinda teamed up to separate Thyme from Tess. I  have no idea why. Tess showed no signs of distress. She has been his friend almost since the day he moved back home, the year before.

Although Tess is 6 inches taller and almost twice his weight, she regularly allows Thyme boss her around. “Allows” is the important word here. She actually lets Thyme pinch her with his teeth (never breaking the skin) when he wants her to move here or there. Tess could fold Thyme in half with one well placed kick. Her tolerance of Thyme’s bossy attitude fascinates me. She let Joey (her Drum colt) boss her until he was just about 2 years old and then promptly told him to stop. Tess doesn’t let anyone else boss her except Rick, who rarely bosses anyone.

Maybe Venus and Dorinda were taking advantage of an opportunity, with Rick out of sight, to give Tess a break from Thyme. Maybe they were saying he needed to be a little less clingy to Tess and to learn to be comfortable with them. But that doesn’t make much sense. He was already taking time to graze with anyone, in general. I had already seen him eating with Dorinda and Venus on different occasions. Maybe, they were being cliquey mares who were saying, “no boys allowed”, but I doubt it. They don’t practice exclusive attitudes. Venus never has and Dorinda hasn’t in the past several years.

Whatever their reason, Venus and Dorinda smoothly slipped in between Tess and Thyme; holding Thyme in place and moving Tess off a little.  Tess seemed to understand and comply with their decision, but Thyme got angry. While Dorinda escorted Tess a few feet away, Venus held Thyme back by blocking him. He responded by whipping around a throwing an intentionally well aimed kick. Near, but not too close to Venus, who also whipped around and gave a “butt hop” (that’s what I call a buck without a kick).

Venus’s response to Thyme’s kick is significant. Four years ago, she’d have finished off that disagreement by pummeling him. She’s matured a lot since moving in with us. To me, this is evidence that she recognizes his respective thoroughbred “frailty” in comparison to her draft strength and volume.

Regardless of their reasons, Dorinda and Venus executed a well planned separation, without anyone getting injured. Dorinda used her expertise of herding on Tess and Venus used her gift of blocking (no doubt learned from Rick - he’s blocked her a number of times over the years). Incidentally, they allowed Thyme to stay with them just a couple of horse lengths away. After a little while, they let Thyme re-join Tess. Go figure...

Before we start, let's clarify those few things again:
.

• I will not agree to the statement that men (or women) are superior. Both have equal qualities, though may be better in different departments.
  .
• I’ll be taking the stereotypical view of both genders, just so I don’t have to keep saying “but there are exceptions!” and making myself sound like a broken recorder. I know there are exceptions, just don’t make me repeat that so many times. =(
  .
• The reason why I’m doing this is not to belittle the other gender, it’s for me (and hopefully, my boyfriend~) to understand the differences between the two, and maybe even appreciate them! I know I appreciate him knowing the roads better than I do. xP
  .
• This has nothing to do with the book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”. I’ve read an excerpt of it, but this is not meant to steal things from there. This is to inform people (who’re interested enough to read this, anyway) in a way that I understand with my own experience!
  .

Okay, now let's start~!

Men and Venus? On Gender Differences

Chapter 2: Too Focused, Blur-case, or Deaf? Too Excited, Aggressive, or Just Can't Stop Talking?

.

Sometimes, I see complaints of one person on the other gender. Like, "ZOMG, he just doesn't listen to me! I told him that so-and-so happened and to do this-and-that, but he doesn't listen!!" or "ZOMG, she just talks too much! Why doesn't she shut up?!"
.

Sounds familiar?
.

My boyfriend and I haven't really encountered this problem badly yet. Or rather, he hadn't complained to me yet. Though for me, sometimes I can see the truth in these complaints.
.

Like, for example, sometimes when I talk and talk, he doesn't respond. It's like, "Hey, you know, next time we should go to so-and-so and do this-and-that!"
.

Silence.
.

Girls, like me, tend to wonder, "Hey, did he hear me or not?"
.

Yep, it sounds familiar.
.

However, there's most likely a reason behind that.
.

When I do ask my boyfriend if he heard (after a bit of talking and little response), he actually heard me. What's more, he could repeat most of the information I gave him!
.

Yeah, he did miss out some information, but who cares? He heard me!
.

But hey, what about other couples? Why are there so many arguments on why he don't listen and why she talks too much?
.

After a lot of reading, I can finally come here and write a blog post about it. It helps me understand my boyfriend, too. =D

.

Part 1: Back to the Prehistoric Days...
.

Yep, we date back all the way to the prehistoric days where we all still live as cavemen. Back then, the roles of males and females were pretty clear cut; men go hunting all day and bring back hunted animals (for food, clothing, weapon materials, etc), while the women stay home, guard the home, and gather fruits, herbs and stuff.
.

As quoted from Kat Caverly (link at the bottom of the post):
.

"Men evolved from hunters who didn't do much talking. (If you've ever seen your grandpa and uncles hunt and fish, you know this to be true. Hours and hours go by, and no one speaks.) While there is evidence to support that communication was needed among early hunters, most of it was done prior to setting out to hunt, leaving little for discussion during the hunting trip itself. This was practical. Too much noise (conversation) would alert the prey -- at best scaring it away; at worst turning hunter into hunted.

On the other hand, women went out-and-about not to hunt, but to gather. As they did this activity in groups, they would keep up a stream of conversation in order to make sure no one had fallen behind or prey to animals. For a woman, conversation was literally life itself!"
.

Further quoted from a commenter on the post by Kat Caverly:
.

"Along with that, women were responsible for raising the children, and being sensitive to communication was/is key. Such as the need for details, tones, and the “closeness” or intimacy that is entwine in women’s conversations."
.

Makes sense, right?

.

Part 2: Talking and Listening Today
.

And so, that prehistoric trait difference brought along the complaints; men don't listen and women talk too much. This difference even brought along quotes from famous people through the ages.
.

But is it really true?
.

Research showed that the female brain is more geared for language and emotion related stuff, due to that part of the brain being bigger (this is writing from memory gained from reading, so I forgot the name o_o). They're also basically better equipped for multitasking, since the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain is bigger compared to that of the male brain.
.

But, while this finding concludes that women do talk more than men (6,000 words compared to 4,000 words... wait, what?), other research show that this is nothing more than a myth. As said by an article from PBS: Language as Prejudice:
.

"When women and men are together, it is the men who talk most. Two Canadian researchers, Deborah James and Janice Drakich, reviewed sixty-three studies which examined the amount of talk used by American women and men in different contexts. Women talked more than men in only two studies."
.

What?! That's the complete opposite!!
.

Forget the women talk too much part...

.

Part 3: Difference Between a Talking Man and a Talking Woman
.

What difference? Both men and women use words!
.

Duh.
.

Well, aside from that, people of both genders use speech for different purposes.
.

For a start, men talk for informational purposes; they don't like talking unless it's information requesting or information sharing or something. That explains why guys talk more than girls, huh? After all, we're in the information age!
.

Guys also have a heavier tendency towards actions. Once you gain the necessary information, act on them. That's what they did during the prehistoric times, right? Device hunting plan, then carry out hunting plan and don't talk during action.
.

Women, on the other hand, use communication mainly for relationship building. When feeling anxious or happy or anything, they feel the need to share the emotions with someone else, and from this communication, they form relationship with each other. Even during prehistoric times, they talk to ensure that their friends are still around (you hear her, then therefore she's safe, right?) and to pass the time while they gather. So basically for them, talking = better relationship.
.

See the big difference here?

.

Part 4: Difference Between a Listening Man and a Listening Woman
.

Remember what I said about the prehistoric times when guys don't talk much and girls talk a lot?
.

When the guys go hunting, they talk before the hunt, then they stay silent during. Their focus is always on the prey, so that it doesn't get away.
.

The consequences? Most of the time, guys have a single-track mind. When they focus, they focus hard and do one thing really well, but they don't really hear anything else.
.

Sure, guys can multitask, but not all of them can do things and listen at the same time. Which reminds me of Ammaro's post (link at the bottom of this post):
.

It happened again, today. My wife called me when I was coming home from work, and the conversation (well, the part I heard anyway) went something like this:

"Hi honey, can you ..... by the supermarket ... get .... ...... ......, some tomatoes....., .... ,..... ,...... ..... , ok dear? Thanks. Bye"

...so now i'm at the supermarket, buying what she wanted; I pick up the tomates and... Hmm... I can be pretty sure she mentioned FIVE items. Why do I only seem to remember one? Umm...

Ok, time to call her again. Uhh, honey, what did you say you wanted?

"Get ..... fat-free white cheese,..... ..... ..... tomatoes, and ..... ...., with the .... .... next to the .... counter, ok? Bye..."

So I go to the cheese section, but realize there's like 3 million different varieties of fat-free cheese. Dammit, another phone call. What was that cheese you wanted hon? And what else?

"Yeah, .... was the Kraft fat-free cheese, and by the way, ..... ..... ....., .... you find a pack of ...., and a family pack diet coke"

I swear to god, I must have called her 6 times today while I was in the supermarket... to pick up 5 things!
.

It cracked me up. xP
.

Guys are easily distracted. He hears his favourite tune in the background, there goes his mind. You tell him things during a movie, he doesn't remember much of it after that.
.

I can relate to that, too. When I tell my boyfriend things while he's driving (women's favourite past-time o_o), he remembers less than if I lock him in a quiet room and run off with his book. So I learned my lesson and make sure I run off with his book before I tell him things!
.

Well, that's the guy.
.

For girls, when they do things, they respond better when you call them in the middle of things. They multitask well (though they may not be perfect), so they pick up information better when they multitask. That's because, as mentioned in the previous section, the two hemisphere of the female brain is better wired compared to the male brain.
.

So... where's the problem?

Part 5: Problems in a Relationship

Now that we know the difference between a talking/listening man and a talking/listening woman, now we can see what's up with the couples who complain about their partners.
.

When a guy loves a girl, he doesn't say "I love you", because guys don't like to look weak and vulnerable. He acts out on the feelings of love, and gestures and actions become important. Action speaks louder than words, in the guy's case.
.

When a girl loves a guy, she says "I love you" often. She talks a lot and always conveys the feelings in words, and she always wants to touch (hug, kiss, etc).
.

So when the problem occurs?
.

Due to the fact that there are differences in talking/listening needs between the two couples, both needs are not fulfilled. Women talk, thinking that the men don't listen enough, but the men get swamped with all the words and responds with actions.
.

Both feel that the other doesn't understand them, and this turns into a fight.

.

Part 6: So... what now?
.

Compromising. That's the only way the vastly different male and female can be happy together.
.

Understanding that a guy acts out on feelings rather than say it, and understanding that a girl needs to talk and hear things to feel secure.
.

This is, of course, something I still need to work on, though at least I don't feel insecure anymore when he doesn't say "I love you", his actions are pretty loud. =D
.

Still, knowing and understanding is the first step. And writing this article has helped me to understand loads!

Nä, George Lucas, bättre än så här kan du. Väl? Hellre tittar jag då på vår Måne och Venus. Ta dig i hampan därborta på Skywalker-ranch.

+ Det fanns en del riktigt coola grejer med. Dessvärre inget som kan rädda betyget i någon nämnvärd omfattning. Men vad sägs om några råtuffa scouts, Asajj Ventress och... Nä, det var nog det.

- George Lucas hamrar sönder sitt livsverk med en stor slägga genom att släppa igenom sådan här dynga. - Has the man gone Mental? Är frågan jag måste ställa mig själv. Mannen har hur mycket pengar som helst. Är det här det bästa han kan få fram? Börjar undra om det verkligen var han som låg bakom ursprunget. Sen var det ju det där med Jabba the Hutts son. En baby-hutt - som låter som en baby. Gonatt.

Venus is the closest planet to Earth and the brightest object in the night sky, with the exception of the moon, and has been referred to as both the Morning and Evening Star due to its luminosity. Venus is most striking for its thick atmosphere which covers the entire planet and obscures the view of the surface from space and Earth. The hidden surface of the planet was the subject of much curiosity and speculation before the myths were dispelled by probes and exploratory spacecraft. Science fiction writers in particular pondered what what be on the surface of Venus, speculating about possible life on the surface.

However, numerous probes sent to the planet would remove any lingering doubt over the possibility of life on Venus. The surface temperature averages at around 460 degrees C with the atmospheric pressure 92 times that of Earth's, the same as that found 1km under the oceans. The extremely high temperature is caused by a runaway greenhouse effect. Venus's atmosphere is predominantly composed of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulphur dioxide. Heat from the Sun becomes trapped and the planet gets warmer and warmer, to the point it is at today.

At its closest Venus passes 41.8 million km away from Earth, takes 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun and 243 days to complete one rotation. Venus's orbit is the closest of any planet to being circular, with an eccentricity of less that 0.01. The extremely slow rotation of Venus makes it stand out from the other planets, taking much longer to complete. Venus also spins in the opposite direction to Earth. Venus has no moons.

Venus has been the subject of a lot of the initial ideas of colonisation by Man of the Solar System. The discovery of the conditions on the surface seemed to all but rule out any human settlement on the surface, the extreme temperature and pressure would make life impossible. There has been some talk, however, of possible colonisation of the Venetian atmosphere. 50km above the surface the conditions are much more favourable and Earth-like. Floating cities filled with human-breathable air would float in the dense atmosphere, at that height the atmospheric pressure is the same as that of Earth and temperatures range from 0-50 degrees. A different approach could be to artificially cool Venus using giant mirrors or manipulating dust clouds. In just a few decades the planet would cool significantly enough to give conditions similar to Earth on the surface.

Venus is an interesting planet given its similar properties to Earth. It is also a living example of what a runaway greenhouse effect can do to a planet. The excessive CO2 content in the atmosphere has massively heated the planet beyond what it would be otherwise, a stark reminder of what could eventually happen to Earth.

Here it is:

I never quite figured out why the sexual urges of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."

I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.

She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit." We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck.

I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis. I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey." She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, "WHAT?"

I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

It's occurred to me that I can't be completely honest here. That's not true. I'm completely honest, with the exception of my unnatural compulsion to change the time stamp at the top of each entry. I like the appearance of consistency - although I myself am consistently inconsistent. But the "Secrets" label is more misleading. For crying out loud - my picture's right there for the world to see! What kind of secrets can I possibly reveal? A few of you know me so well you'd crush your ergonomically designed mice in horror if I let loose any big secrets. You'd fall off your chairs. You'd have apoplectic fits. Okay, maybe not that dramatic. I do have sizable secrets. Some embarrassing, some delicious, some would bore you to tears, but they're mine.  If I gave them all away I'd have no secrets left. The mystique would be gone. You'd all go off to read postsecret.

Amanda and I had fun reading the postsecret cards displayed at the American Visionary Arts Museum back in August. I picked up a postcard, thinking to out some secret of my own. It's still sitting here on my desk, waiting. Botticelli's Birth of Venus seems too lovely to mar with an anonymous admission though. Really, she looks as though she has secrets of her own. Well, yes, she is in fact naked. Yet she covers parts of herself, reluctant to be utterly revealed. Even Venus is unsure of exposing herself completely. I like that. I think it makes her far more interesting.

Like Botticelli's Venus, I'll keep my more sensational secrets hidden from public view. Instead I offer the inner dialogue; Me talking to myself. That has to be edited somewhat obviously. Not all my thoughts are fit for polite society. Maybe there's some value in the anonymity of postsecret after all.

Before tonight, in the local Whole Foods parking lot, I didn't even know how many moons Jupiter had.  But now, after meeting just the rightly-friendly, sky-passioned, well-timed-parking astronomer John, I do! What lovely luck to be trying to go to the passenger side of my red VW Jetta just as John's big white Astrovan pulled in where I would have liked to be standing. His smiling "Hello, how are you?" was infectious and I smiled broadly back with my "Good, thanks. How are you?" to which he answered in a sort of intoxicated tone something about the stars and looped me into a question about the moon, or rather what was sitting just up and to the left of the moon. I ignorantly ventured a guess of Mars, then immediately knew I was wrong because that bright lovely beemer above the moon wasn't red. "Well at least you knew it was a planet!" he said, and so pleased by it. Then he pulled out this large set of binoculars and without even really asking if I wanted to join him in his spontaneous sky-bound viewing fancy, he set me up to see the moons.

They were so beautiful! Specks of reflected light all lined up in a perfect row, the proud parent Jupiter leaning back against the cosmos with total equipoise. And at that magnification, what a wonder it was to view the moon, too! The craters and the mountains in the craters... such a wondrous world up there. 

John talked about how he'd just been out in some itty-bitty town away from all the lights on a sky-viewing vacation, about how the sea turtles are dying from the light pollution on the planet, about feeling that we are experiencing such crazy times because we are so disconnected from the sky and earth and the seasons, and then mistaking a plane for Venus just like I would do! But then I spotted her! Up there over flagstaff mountain.

I felt like one of the luckiest people on the planet to have been standing there with those binoculars thrust at me by this sweet, exuberant older man with the gray-red beard.  I even got a little misty-eyed as I watched Venus simply slip behind flagstaff mountain, first eclipsed by a pine tree, then sinking out of sight, a brief halo following her down. 

He's right, I think - John, about our relationship with the planet and our minds and hearts. We have lost touch as a human race, the "developed" nations pulling at those who are still earth-based towards our elaborate disconnections, those of us who see it not mobilizing enough to change much. Maybe there is little to be changed externally. We will keep building up, up, up, keep adding lights whose beams eventually reach the depths of the sea turtles' once-pitch habitats. We will keep inventing more and more convenient gadgets and become less and less likely to see our friends and family in a place where we can touch their faces. We will keep fighting over what we don't really need anyway.

What to do? Look up. Look at the night sky and remember that we are each like a mere piece of stardust. We are fleeting moments of love and depth. We have a right to smile at strangers and are not fools for wanting them to smile at us. We can look down. Look down and not step on the ants. Count our freckles like so many planetary moons. Breath into the whole solar system or beyond, and remember that the incalculable heavenly bodies up there are akin to the incalculable energy particles that hold steady, or not so steady, in this one heavenly body right here. 

What to do? Love life enough to offer a stranger in the parking lot at the grocery store a beautiful pair of binoculars... whatever kind you might have, even if it's just the magnifying mechanism of your smiling eyes. Those eyes hold all the beauty of the world.  And a little more beauty in the day may be exactly what every single one of us needs.

I don't know when I started having homework, but it wasn't in first grade. Did I mention I WORK! That I abandon work undone every day to leave work at 5pm? That leaving at 5pm I dash to Sonny's day care and then to DeeDee's extended day program praying I won't run into traffic?  That upon arriving home <hopefully> before 6pm I throw together some dinner before the kids melt down in a haze of hypoglycemia? That I bolt down a meal in the midst of "I don't like THIS!"? Then set myself to pursuade the children to go upstairs and begin the bedtime ritual?

And now, her teacher expects us to fit homework into the middle of that? Is she out of her ever-loving mind???? So in the middle of spooning my dinner into my mouth, I "support" my daughter in doing her homework. Did I mention she just started to read with confidence? So she can't even really read the homework directions.

Oh, and the homework isn't simple. She has to choose three of nine possible homework activities. So I have to help her READ the assignments. Then I have to help her CHOOSE the assignments. Then I have to help her DO the assignments. But NOT do them for her. Did I mention that Sonny is expecting to play with his sister like they usually do in the evening?

Somehow, we make it through the evening.

I venture downstairs after the kids are in bed and comment to my husband, "I don't know how we're going to make it with the homework." It comes in on Monday and has to be done by Thursday. And we've missed bath night Wednesdays the last two weeks. Now we have homework too?

His comment to me?

"The Dow ended up 300 points down today. I am worried about the global economy."

Ok. You worry about that. I'm going to get a glass of wine.

Introduction

The configurations in the sky do not affect one nation, or one people. The patterns in the celestial sphere create and destroy patterns which are copied on Planet Earth with the simple determinism of seeds being planted on fertile ground germinating and producing fruit. They impel of course they impel, but when a seed is planted, watered and given the right amount of sunlight, nutrition, and warmth, it is fairly easy to say that you will be reaping what you have sown. This article is interested in finding out whether the heaven's seed are about to fall on stony ground, and whether those seeds might just contain a few weeds among them.

The Last Ideology:1966

Now, down to business. Uranus and Pluto were conjoined in longitudinal degrees during the late 1960's everyone knows this and a few people may also be aware that they were simultaneously opposed by a beleaguered Saturn in Pisces and eventually given a winning hand from Jupiter as he traversed late Virgo after that opposition. The Ideology however, is what we are after. Several ideological structures came out of the late 1960's which were previously not in circulation. Some of the things which are thought of as being created during that era are women's power, as well as civil rights for minorities. These are big things, big ideas with big laws that were passed in order to support those people, and there is nothing wrong there as far as I can see. This was one of the great movements of progress of the 20th Century. 1966 marks the T-Square of these planets with Jupiter sadly detrimented in Gemini, with Saturn in Pisces and with Uranus and Pluto conjoined in Virgo. It is this moment in time which has been the beginning of the Era of late 20th Century and early 21st Century, politics, and social modes existence, the social rules were in effect changed in 1966, which does mark the watershed moment.

Why was this ideological structure developed in the way it was? The reason is not in the noble ideas of equality and dignity of humanity, nor in the progression of the rights of anyone, but in the power structure of Empire. The real motivating force for these changes was historical. For an empire to exist there needs to be social cohesion. Social cohesion in the Western World was only possible through these bills of rights and social movements, which were in effect damaging to the structures of traditional Religion, signified by Jupiter in Gemini being defeated by the other stronger planets in materialistic and analytical Virgo, and a Saturn in Pisces which is reminiscent of power structures that are torn in two directions.

In essence the 1966 alignment allowed for social cohesion and the economic freedom in vast untapped numbers of the Western population, namely women's economic power, befitting the Virgo symbolism of a Woman associated with service and harvest. the main focus of Virgo is that everything has a place and a worth, and the simple economics of this placing has allowed the economic materialism due to the nature of the Earth element to empower a Western Empire which is constant in its adaptation and has no centralised power structure but various co-operating structures, which again is part of the nature of those three mutable signs, Pisces, Virgo and Gemini, with emphasis on materialism and Mercurial thought over the Piscean and Sagittarian belief, sacrificed for the economic power structure. And all of course based on that key logical yet completely anti-spiritual Ideology of the 1966 T-Square.

Note: Although Neptune is not directly involved in the T-Square aspect pattern, Neptune however, does confer its particular power from Scorpio, and this is where the association of the 'sixties with Sex and Sexual Revolution comes from, due solely to Neptune in Scorpio, nothing to do with Mars, or Pluto. The Neptunian energy manifests itself mainly in music, art and cultural pursuits including drugs.

Ideology formed and given power: 1931

Now we go one more step back in the 20th Century, we come to the ideology which was formed and crystallised in 1931. How can you not look to Germany? Saturn, Pluto and Uranus were T-Square in Cardinal signs during this year with the Sun conjoining as close a matrix as possible on July the 13th of that year. Now the Sun in this aspect pattern gives the show a big star. Most people will immediately say, Adolf Hitler!! Ah, what intuition! But they would be wrong the heavens have scattered several big stars all across the globe, certainly he was one of the stars of that Era, but we have other big house hold names like Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, all of which actually managed to hold power in their own countries for as long as Mr Hitler, if not a lot longer. These men were all sensitive Cancerian types, Father figures who were fighting for the preservation of their homelands. Can you get a better description of Pluto conjunct Sun in Cancer?

So, what was the ideology which existed between 1931 and 1966? This ideology was based on the darkness of Saturn in Capricorn and the impulse of destruction and creation, of Uranus in Aries.  Even after the War, it was the "Cold War" a rather befitting term for Saturn in Capricorn, whose nature inclines towards low energy, though with a tenacity and talent for persistence and survival. The Iron Curtain and the Berlin Wall are powerful symbolism of this placement, how much more evidence is needed to show that the Era of thirty five years was commenced in 1931, even after the demise of the fascist Bogey man of all time.

Note: Mars, although not directly involved in the T-Square aspect pattern is however, powerfully connected in virgo with Sun, Saturn and even Uranus through an Inconjunct aspect. Mars although outside of the matrix which is the Era creation is however so involved that it is impossible to separate his energetic and agressive influence. Indeed looking at History it is easy to see how Mars even in 1931 in this aspect grid was influencial, with Uranus in Aries, it is necessary to view the dispositor, Mars.

1903 (note: not a Saturn configuration, though still powerful technologically)

This year is also a marker of Uranus-Pluto forming a T-Square with another outer planet, Jupiter. This is though, an exception to the Ideological Structures and 1903 really belongs to the matrix of 1851. Because this is Jupiter it is not the powerful social rule creating, politically fueled force that involves Saturn. On September the 12 1903, the Sun plugs into this T-Square to form a grand cross. 1903 is significant for other reasons. Shortly after the Grand Cross of September the 12, Orville Wright makes the first combustion engine powered flight, the USA begin to expand with the instigation of rebellion and eventual control of Panama. During this period Edward VII became King of England and Emperor of the British Empire, so 1903 loosely coincides with the transferal of power, though for the true ideological Era it is necessary to look back further.

1851

The 24th of October 1851 marks the beginning of an Era which ended not in 1903, but in 1931, this is a period of eighty years. The T-Square of 1851 is a bit of an understatement. In the early degrees of Taurus and late Aries a stellium lined up to include Pluto, Saturn and Uranus. This alone marked the beginning of an Era, the beginning of an ideology and the chronocrator of a time period which saw the height of the British Empire and the almost total domination in true Taurus style of most of the world's land mass by one Empire. On the other side of this stellium is to be found another stellium of Moon, Sun, Jupiter, and Venus. Those personal planets signify a family united under a bright star a king and emperor in the most powerful sign at the first degree of Scorpio symbolising the beginning the Empire. Mars of course in the sign of Leo shows that it was the Nation whose symbol of military strength was indeed three Lions and has Lion imagery in every crest and seal.

Ideologically the period starting in 1851 was one in which the Fixed signs dominated, with Scorpio and Taurus as feminine signs of both power and cultural creation it was a time in which a strict code of law was in force, a cultural ideology based on wealth and industrial power took hold, the rise of a bourgeois middle class with great power in not only the British houses of Parliament, but in the nations of Europe and America as well as in Asia with Japanese imperialism based on industrial and monetary growth. There is nothing that symbolises this as a time marker more than the opening of THE GREAT EXHIBITION OF THE WORKS OF INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS in the Crystal Palace, Hyde Park in of course London, which ran for most of that year.

The accepted norms of society though are what we are looking for, the equivalent of 1930's Fascism and 1960's Feminism was 1850's, this is an Era which is determined by strict social rules and stability, by respect for tradition, by love of culture, of literature, music, and religion, with the Uranus, Pluto and Saturn Stellium between the last degree of Aries and the early degrees of Taurus. The Scorpio inner family symbolised a unity of a central family which could not be better described better than by the enduring family of Queen and Empress Victoria at the centre of this Ideology, and not surprising that it is now known as the "VICTORIAN AGE."

Note: Neptune is connected to this aspect pattern, though slightly wide from making a sextile to Pluto and Saturn, it does slide into a wedge with Uranus and the family of inner planets in Trine on the other side. So to note, some of the greatest cultural achievements in Literature, Art and Music were achieved during this Era. Even beginning in the 1850's Dickens was writing his great works, as were the other great authors and composers of the second half of the 19th Century. That Pisces Neptune must be interpreted in terms of spiritual accompaniment durning this period, great Religious fervour and belief, in spite of the developing ideas of the times like Darwinism, Marxism and Science. This Neptune in Pisces as always symbolises two fish swimming in opposite directions, two fish who both have belief, and in retrospect these fish are both Religions and Sciences.

1819

On the 17th December 1819 a Square took place involving Pluto and Saturn in Pisces, (Chiron also) with Uranus and Neptune forming a stellium with Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. There are some ways in which this was a greater Era creator than the 1851 alignment. Namely Neptune is involved in the alignment, though the energy and buoyancy of Jupiter and Mars are omitted with the result that this alignment was in many ways a silent, velvet revolution in World Thought. There are numerous world writers who were born during this period, Fyodor Dostoevski, Anne Bronte, and George Eliot as well as Charles Dickens give or take a couple of years are a few, and the writings which they eventually wrote were highly religiously inclined with huge spiritual involvement, all due to the effect of this Pisces, Sagittarius alignment.

Some events of this alignment are the beginning of George IV's reign, as well as the end of the Napoleonic Wars with a return to the traditional establishment, to the traditional mode of belief, which the French Revolution as well as the American Revolution had threatened. South America became a free enterprise in the year 1819 with the proclamation of Gran Colombia.

1792

This year is very different from all other alignments of the nature which are under scrutiny in this article. The planets Uranus, Pluto along with Sun-Moon conjoining in Sagittarius on the 13th December of 1792 form a Kite aspect pattern. This alone fulfils the criteria of a powerful aspect pattern involving the said planets although the sextiles are fairly weak on there own they are in a powerful alignment. To note also, Jupiter forms a T-Square with the Pluto-Uranus opposition though does not link up with Saturn.

The events of the years between 1792 and 1819 are well chronicled. Franch becomes a scene of Revolution, with much upheaval and bloodshed, it also forges ahead with new ideas and experiments with different forms of governance but does inevitably become an Atheistic Empire on the rampage under Napoleon Bonaparte.

But of course the events in the Heavens were not just taking place over France. Britain and Germany saw a cultural revolution in the name of a Poetic movement now known as ROMANTICISM. And not only were these poets writing their subversive texts, there really was fear in the rest of Europe of Revolution taking place because of the unparalleled social change of this Era. The Kite formation is a pattern which is made for movement, for travel and like the actual physical kite its symbolism can be seen in this period in the name of great movement, upheaval and excitement, as if whole nations were able to fly and metaphorically, France did just this.

1649

The only true link up between Uranus, Pluto and Saturn with an acceptable orb and acceptable strength of power took place in 1648 and 1649 and involved Uranus in conjunction with Neptune on 27th February 1649. Saturn, True Node and Pluto were conjoined together in Gemini in opposition with the Uranus and Neptune placement in Sagittarius. The Sun and Mercury formed a Grand Cross with Moon and Mars in opposition in Virgo.

1649 begun the Era which lasted until 1819. This period of time was begun with the execution of King Charles I, the killing of the King, God's representation on Earth had never been done before, but was done by Parliamentarians, whose logic was founded in the power of Pluto conjunct Saturn in Gemini. It is hard going back so far to make an estimation of the cultural and social values of this time period. During this period John Milton was writing Paradise Lost and supporting Republicanism, in an age of total Monarchy.

The Grand Cross in mutable signs confers a great struggle between on the one hand Gemini materialism and logical thought and on the other side Sagittarian orthodoxy. This is a struggle which lasted until 1819 which seems to have marked a brief period of all embracing Religious Faith until the 1851 alignment.

Because I have learned so much about the secrets of life by surfing the Internet, I am well-prepared to save my readers much grief with the following extraordinary advice:

• For example, if a famous songwriter asks you to come up with a word to rhyme with month, orange, silver or purple, tell her to do it herself. NO English words rhyme with those four.
• No matter what the Five Families may threaten, don’t ever worry about a Mafia soldier “kneecapping” your baby; babies do not even HAVE kneecaps until they’re over two years old.
• By the way, there’s a good reason our brave NASA astronauts never cry at the beauty of the earth as they look down from space. There’s no gravity; tears WILL NOT flow. [Or, perhaps they simply do not understand the gravity of the situation.]
• The names of how many states in America contain the letter Q? None of them. In fact, Q is the ONLY letter in the alphabet that does NOT appear in the name of ANY of the United States

GOOD ADVICE:

• Don’t throw that porcupine overboard; he can float in water.
• Don’t ask a starfish to represent you in court; they have no brains.
• Never trust a right-handed polar bear; all polar bears are left-handed.

HERE ARE SOME OBSCURE DIRECTIONS:

• After dialing our phone number, press the octothorpe key once.
• Double-check all the tittles in your Email.
• If pleuts appear on your forehead, you may have just seen a dork.

The symbol on the "pound" key (#) is called an octothorpe..
The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle.
The sweat drops drawn in comic strips are called pleuts.
A whale's penis is called a dork.

THREE THINGS YOU WILL NEVER SEE:

• An elephant jumping for joy.
• A sleeping dolphin with both eyes closed.
• A cow coming downstairs behind a farmer.

HERE'S WHY:

• Elephants are the only animals in the world that CANNOT jump. It is physiologically impossible for them to do so, because of their weight.
• Dolphins sleep with one eye open. Dolphins have to be conscious to breathe. This means that they cannot go into a full, deep sleep, for they would suffocate. Research confirms that dolphins have only one eye closed when sleeping.
• It's possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs. OK, imagine you are a cow. Walking up, most of the weight of your body is down and back, and your knees bend, helping you push yourself up. Now walking down, most of the weight is on your front legs, and your knees bend and point down the stairs, and with all the weight and the very real possibility that you could tumble down frontwards, you just won't do it.

A FINAL SUMMARY OF INTERESTING STUFF:

• "Underground" is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters "und."
• The word Pennsylvania is misspelled on the Liberty Bell.
  
• Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
  
• Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age or older.
  
• All US Presidents have worn glasses; some just didn't like being seen wearing them in public.
  
• The king of hearts is the only king in a deck of playing cards without a mustache.

You're welcome.
