Okay, I’m a super happy girl!

We’re now finished with prereads for A New Tomorrow and I’m going to be able to cast a half-dozen or so roles this weekend, based on the rockstar job the actors did for the minor roles at prereads. Awesome. Callbacks next week! Yippee!

I’m putting this here to remind me that Saturn is kicking my ass until mid-July. It’s very easy to forget that and to get really really down on myself about things that aren’t working. So… last night, I got out the grease pencil and drew Saturn on the mirrors in the house. Now I can’t forget to let myself off the hook for the hell that is living sometimes, when things get too overwhelming.

Saturn, the planet ruling lessons learned and realities faced, is now traveling through the very last degrees of Cancer. You have had Saturn pressing you since June 2003, a time that you may have begun to see your responsibilities noticeably increase. Saturn is now moving at unusually swift speed, and in a matter of weeks will be completely out of Cancer. Your end date will be July 16, 2005. No matter how you look at it, you are entering a far better phase. Best of all, Saturn always leaves a gift by the door after he has exited, as thanks for having dealt with the rigors. You will see this to be true in the weeks that follow July 16. When this reward is given, you will know when it arrives. In the meantime, the gifts of strength, wisdom, insight, and maturity have already begun to grow within you, and you have earned the respect of others around you. You have grown in stature and authority, and you see life with far greater clarity.

See? It’s not “just” me! It’s a huge planet pressing down on me at its hardest. Thank goodness the gift is almost here.

Hopefully, I won’t need the reminder to let myself off the hook anymore, now that I have artwork on the mirrors. AND… I have the film 1/2 cast! Woo hoo! Casting meeting for the next film?? Tuesday, baby! It’s just rollllllin’ in now! Woo hoo!
