It's the month of Aquarius...

Hi!

Today, is the first day for the sign of Aquarius (that is at least what I've read). Do any of you have anything special you are hoping for this year? Any goals or whatever?

I'll be turning 30 this year (February), and to be honest, it's a bit weird. I say this because of all things I have yet to accomplish. There is so much to do. However, I'll be graduating as a RN which is great. Therefore I hope I will meet someone special this year. I also look forward to 2007 as being a lot less painful. 2006 for me wasn't a good year for me.

I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS YEAR. 2006 SUCKED BIG TIME.

Congrats Mystical.

2006 was pretty glorious to me, so I just hope that 2007 continues on the path.

Mystical, if you're turning 30 this year, then that means that last year and the last few years have been your Saturn return. So I can understand that last year being awful for you, it can be awful for people who haven't achieved what they want.

Now things should be getting easier since your Saturn return is in the decline now, I believe.

HAPPY BDAY AQUAS!!

Mine is coming up in a week and a half..can't wait with anticipation as I am finally going to get to spend 2-days with my Libra best-friend (lives far but is traveling to see me that day) who professed his secret love for me @ 3AM this morning! I am planning to make it special for the both of us.. this year is definitly starting off right!

Lady M,
Glad to know I wasn't alone thinking 2006 sucked big time. I hope 2007 is better for you too.

Ladyvie,
Great for you. I wish you all the best. It gives us other Aquarians hope that we can be happy.

Wings,
Yes, I am turning 30 this year. In fact I'll officially be 30 in 13 days. 2006 was absolutely awful for me. It was one of the worst years ever. The love department was a disaster. My part-time job was not easy. My education becoming a RN had me doubting if I made the right choice. I haven't been so sad as I was in 2006. Most of the sadness had to do with a guy who hurt me deeply. However, I grew stronger from it. Unfortunately, it took me a while to finally let go of him, but I did. However, being the Aquarian I am, I will never be able to truly forget about him. At times I wish I never knew him, but then again, it's good that I do. He taught me a lot. I hope you are right about that things will be getting better. I sure need it.

Aquarianbrat,
Wow. I read on the Libra board your story. This is great. Just be careful and not move too fast. I'm really happy for you. I've been following your story and it looks good right now.

Mystical..WOW you have been following my crazy story.. that says a lot about you, cuz it's been a long haul! Thank you for your words of encouragement! My fingers are crossed, that I won't be back here sobbing next week.. 🙂

Leokitten,
I'm going to do my best to enjoy turning 30. However, I feel 10 years younger. I will embrace it. I'll be working though. Some of my colleagues at my part-time job wonder when will I get married. I say in due time and I'm not in a hurry. However, I would like to settle down. All my friends are getting married and having children. I'm still single and living life. One day I'll meet the right one, that's for sure. On my birthday, I'll be working the whole day, but that's okay. It's just like another normal day.

Kris,
Great you are still around. I hope you don't leave permanently. So what you are going to college, that doesn't mean you can't pop in into DXP land. As the answer to your question. It was mostly the Virgo guy that hurt me deeply. Yes, regarding the Leo doctor, I really thought things where going so well, and then bam. One thing the Leo did was let me see I could like another guy other than that Virgo guy. Regarding the Virgo guy, I really got messed up like I've never been before. I wasn't myself either. Now I'm back. He will always have a place in my memory though.

Aquarianbrat,
Well, of course I've been following your story. It's cute. I wouldn't mind a guy finally proclaiming his love to me. I've had it happen and it's great. Unfortunately, I get scared then. The Virgo guy told me within 2 weeks he liked me very much. It took me 5 months to tell him how I felt which I shouldn't have told him in the first place. When I finally did, it was the beginning of the end of the friendship with him becoming more and more distant. Please don't sob over a guy. I did regarding the Virgo guy. Now when I look back, I shouldn't have wasted my time on him to begin with.

Kris,
What are you referring to?

Yeah, I agree with you on that. Detachment is something that comes in handy when one wants to get over something that hurts them deeply. You can learn to distance yourself from the situation so it's not in your face. You can also occupy your time with other things so you won't have so much time to think about what is bothering you. You can curse at the person in your head and get out your anger. You can learn to see the positive in the heartbreak and learn from it.

Leokitten,
I totally agree with you. My friends are married for a few years already and have a few kids. They never had time alone because the children came so fast. Some of the passion in the marriage is gone because the wife is too exhausted. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I didn't get married at 25 years old. However, hitting 30, I do think it's time to start to settle down. I would like to have children also. My goal has been to have 4 kids as I love children. Whether that will ever happen, I have no idea.

Yes, absolutely. Children are a blessing. I would count my lucky stars to have at least one healthy child.

I do look at turning 30 as where did the 20's go. It's like 10 years went by, and I'm wondering what is going to happen. I know things work out the way they are suppose to, but I never thought I'd still be single at 30. I've come a long way and achieved my goals. The only thing that hasn't been a success is the love department. Another success is I'll be graduating nursing and will be a RN.

Do I have anything I'm hoping for—
WELL! I've been waiting for the Bears to go to the Super bowl for 2+ decades of my life, and they're playing the Colts so that means that they are not only going, but they are also going to WIN. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The same for me.

"Another success is I'll be graduating nursing and will be a RN."

Well done on this. Pat yourself on the back. You didn't need a man interfering with your studies before anyway 🙂

I myself will be 31!

I didn't get married until i was 33 years old, no kids, great career, lots of freedom and i love it (so far). I turn 36 on Jan. 30th and i still feel like i am 30, however, reality has set in this year that if i do want kids i better do it soon - 40 is way too close.

One thing is true ... the Aquarians i know (including myself) are somewhat "Late Bloomers" and it isn't until your 30's that you GET IT!

I'll be 18..my adult life will finally begin!
College..business..can't wait..

Its Overrated RC...but I hope you enjoy yourself.

Sherob...what did you "get"?

I'll be 20...yes we are late bloomers in some respects...

Oh 18 was a good year...actually 16-18...it goes downhill from there....

Enjoy senior year, best year ever!

always do. lol

Hi LadyM,

Sorry for my delay response. I haven't been around lately, but i am back.

Anyhow to answer your question "Sherob...what did you "get"? I'll be 20...yes we are late bloomers in some respects... "

It is a little difficult to put into words ... I suddenly found true confidence in myself. Where i thought i was a confident, independent woman in the past, i now know i was not. Now in my 30s, I find i have finally evolved into who i am comfortable being, who i am suppose to be. Everyone is different, but in my 20s i can admit that i was self-centered / self-absorbed, judgemental, and thought that i had all the answers. In my 30s, my thought process has changed dramatically - i know now that i was delusional.

I dunno ... sorry for the vague response, like i said, its difficult to put into words ... its just something you have to experience ... maybe you already have.

Thank you to all that have contributed to this posting. It's great to know I'm not completely off base. I totally agree with me being single has been a blessing in disguise when I've been going to school to become a RN. I've been free to concentrate on that. However, it still would have been great to do a little dating in the mean time. To be honest, I haven't done that in a long time. My schedule has been full with going to school fulltime and working part-time also. Most people don't know where I get the energy from. I tell them I sleep 8 hours and they laugh. However, it's the truth.

Well, since my birthday is in a few days, my colleagues at my part-time job wanted to do something nice for me. Usually, I'm quite when I'm at work and don't make much of a fuss about anything so I thought I was invisible there. You know like your colleagues know you are there and you chit chat with them but nothing more. Anyway, last Friday, I was told they were going be taking me out to dinner on Monday (January 29th) for my birthday. I told them my birthday isn't until Saturday. They said that didn't matter as they wanted to take me out. At first I thought they were pulling my leg because they've never done this with each other and it's never been done before. It turns out they were telling me the truth. I got to end work at 8 instead of 9. I got paid for the last hour for doing nothing. One of my colleagues picked me up at work and brought me to the restaurant where the party was being held. My former boss and the new boss's wife also showed up. Believe it or not, but my former boss gave me a gift certificate. I was never expecting that as she didn't even have to do that. I got another big gift certificate from all my colleagues. I also get a pepper thing. It's a little difficult to explain, but here in Norway if you aren't married by the time you turn 30 you get pepper. They all were laughing and so was I. They paid for everything so everything was free for me. All in all, I thought the whole idea of them thinking of me was really touching and I never expected they would ever do anything like that for me. So, Wings, I remember you writing that things will probably be getting better for me in 2007. It looks alright so far. I just have to keep the faith.
