So, last month on February 25, 2023, I killed my teapot. I left the teapot but for a moment while I was heating up water, without the lid down to signal me when it was boiling, to go do something, of which I can’t remember, and completely forgot about it.
That was when the Moon was conjoining Uranus in Taurus in my twelfth house of self-undoing. Uranus representing unexpected events and the Moon representing my personal possessions (the Moon rules my 2nd house of possessions).
That was also back when Saturn was just about to enter Pisces in 10 days or so—Saturn in Pisces, literally is the confinement of water—a teapot.
But, it wasn’t so bad. We ordered a new teapot and it was delivered that day, problem solved, lesson learned, or so I thought.
Now, today, one month later, I did it again! I was boiling water for coffee when I suddenly had an idea for my horoscope and left the kitchen, again leaving the lid of the teapot open so as to not wake anyone, to go type my idea before I lost it. The next thing I knew, 20 minutes went by, and I suddenly realized what I had done! I rushed into the kitchen to find the teapot, very hot and dying on the stove. I turned off the stove and tried to remove the teapot, but it was stuck to the glass stovetop. Oh, crap! I thought…So, I waited. As the stove top cooled down, it cracked. Oh, shit! I moaned…
The astrology today, is of course, a little bit more extreme than last month, but the warning was there. The conjunction the Moon made with Uranus last month seems to have been triggered because today the Moon is conjoining Mars, now in Caner, his fall, and in my second house of possessions and forming a trine with Saturn, now in Pisces (the teapot), and all forming a semisquare to Uranus in Taurus in my 12th house of self-undoing, equalling a dead teapot and a broken stovetop. And the worse part is, I know better. And I was basically warned last month!
Sometimes astrology is so stupidly literal that it makes me roll my eyes. Why didn’t I just stay by the stove and let whatever inspirational thought wait until I was done??? Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Aries. Big visions for amazing prose and immediate, impulsive actions. *eye roll
“Grabbed” again by the transits. I think I’ll start a club.
Once cool enough to remove, I took the teapot outside to the stump where I had placed the last dead teapot to cool—each time the heat literally melted the little plastic knob to the top of the lid, releasing whatever toxic stuff burning plastic releases. My husband joked that I should plant something in my dead teapots, making a whimsical garden out of my carelessness. “I already threw the last one out,” I reminded him. My plan is to never make this mistake again, but maybe he’s right. Maybe I need to plant something in this teapot and put it where I can see it to remind me of what happens when I allow myself to get distracted.
It’ll be my, “Teapot Garden Of Woe.”
Until sometime later today when I finish the daily horoscope,
