I have had plumbing issues come up with Neptune opposite my Moon.  An old disintegrating pipe in our basement finally gave way and flooded the kitchen down there.  Before that, as we were cleaning up the mess a tenant left behind, we fixed a leak in one of the main water pipes that can only be accessed from the basement, and we fixed a water heater that had just begun to leak.  In the process of cleaning up, we moved the old heater and broke a seal.  That was just one part of a horrible, disgusting host of issues that came with that Neptune transit.  If you are interested, we chatted about it here as it was going on.  I don't know if I mentioned the Neptune transit, but it was definitely in play at that time. http://www.nodeorama.com/viewtopic.php?id=4952

woo hoo... just discovered a broken lawn sprinkler head via the gusher like tower of  water -- how pretty ! AND a backyard hose spigot that WON'T gush a darn drop. Different line. I think.

To the GOOD...it's Labor Day here in the USofA, which in my case, means giving myself over to this Neptune transit, drinking lots of beer, listening to loud rock music and working on my tan. Just came in after hours outside sleeping. I haven't vegged like this in 18 mos.

Come to think of it, I LUV me this part of a Neptune transit.... :>:>

[[giggle]] luv the high energy post Nester!

Not to get all mundane and boring upside your head -- but as I menionted, my freezer/fridge conked out on me during that above mentioned transit. The Resucitating Freezer Dude/Tech told me (very nicely considering) that the reason it died may have been, er,  I hadn't vacuumed under my fridge/freezer in god knows how long, burning out whatever important part he was replacing, because the coils couldn't breathe the way they had to.  So...I wonder,  you had mentioned cleaning INSIDE yr unit, but if the UFO should come back post exorcism, perhaps a nice vacuuming outside of the coils might help send ET home more permanently?

May my transit $$ spare you some $$ ;>... ells

I see.

ellsbells, thx for the prodding, however I discovered the frig is 24 yrs old .. God Internet says typical lifespan is 15-20.  And yes the noise has come back. With Merc retro apparently even appliance repairmen don't want to return phone calls and I have to live with it awhile longer...

I'm more gentle now I've discovered it's elderly, in case you were concerned.

It is a good place to look isn't it..

I've entered a new phase: I'm somewhat alarmed when the noise *isn't* happening.

Due to a disrupted sleep schedule I was up at 1am and succeeded in pulling it out from the wall.
Jeepers - it was filthy under there. There were even mold sprays traveling up the wall. Even if vacuuming out the innards and cleaning the floor / walls doesn't stop the noise it's probably beneficial for my feng shui and sinuses ..

Tempted to order the part I know the noise is coming from off e-bay - it would be approx $40. And I like to dink with stuff.

Interesting - I had a plumbing issue too, a couple of years ago. It was a very gradual problem - the cold water ran slower and slower until eventually it took me an hour just to top up the bath with cold water. During 2004 and 2005, I had various plumbers have a look, but they all said it would involve digging up the foundations of the house and they didn't want to take it on. It scared me so much that by 2006 - Pluto square my Sun - I literally considered selling my house to simply abandon the problem.

What finally happened is I phoned my insurance company (I knew it was a blocked pipe - probably an old lead Victorian water pipe, but had no idea where) thinking it wouldn't be covered - but it was. They sent someone round, who identified the problem right away. It did involve replacing all the piping in the house, but turned out to be easy - they had a machine called a "mole" that just digs a tube under the floorboards, and put in new piping. It took a day, everything worked fantastically after that, no more lead in the system, and it only cost me the £100 excess (about $150) for the entire job.

It was very Pluto though - it dominated my life for a couple of years, but was so simple to fix in the end!

Chris, I feel your Pluto pain over the pipes, truly I do!!!! :>  And Nester, I hope you enjoy the Zen like peace and quiet of your new appllance. Whatever will you do for exercise now that you're not kicking it? :>:>

For me  things REALLY began to get Pluto two weeks ago-- after finding and replacing three MORE sprinkler heads --  when a normally sane married man of my aquaintance "laid hands on me" as they say...only it was on US federal property and was observed by officials ... and they have a 'zero tolerance' policy... and he ended up with a serious sexual harrassment case against him, initiated by them as witnesses ... and all this BRU HA HA like you can't believe, got me thinking, " there HAS to be some SERIOUS Pluto here somewhere"  with the sexual subplot now added on.

So I wracked my brain and ran my progressions. Progressed moon was in my natal 7th,  00*23 sextile Pluto in my natal 8th , trine Chiron by 00*06. Interestingly, my progressed Sun was conjunct natal mars EXACT to the day I heard about the case being formally lodged by the site.

I had mixed feelings about it all -- anger, shock, mortification, embarrassment as word spread like wildfire through our friends. An endless series of phone calls, offering indignation on my behalf, but it was hard to listen to.

Above all, it does seem odd, of all the times I've been mashed and terrified, that THIS time by a overly rambunctious " friend " would be the one time that the dude was squished like a bug. certainly not the one I would have picked out of the universal lineup to be hit with a sledgehammer -- i would have gone for a much bigger bully -- but hey, I don't assign karma, the universe does.

But at least with all this getting processed and LOOKED at, the universe won't have to send me any more pipes to heal? 

All seems okay now btw, with both parties. Apology issued, accepted, etc. And now he has to deal with his wife! God help him...

So....do you think he's been embarrassed enough to have learned a lesson?
You live in a small town?

The wife sounds Plutonic....trying to exert control over a situation imagining it's "empowering" when her anxieties / insecurities jumping around on the surface, keeping it all alive, keep a scab from forming...

I detest the stick of Pluto situations though someone defined spies and espionage as Plutonic and that sounds kind of fun.

Yikes, I had a plumbing / electrical issue last night...

I may need to stay clear of this thread. : )

Anyhow, triangles are boring .. love how the man sits looking innocent, smugly-secretly enjoying pulling the strings. Be careful of this, it's a waste of time. I wonder if you went mildly atomic if they'd be so frightened they'd desist (not sure if that's the right word now) and just go away. That's my goal; to get people to gtfa, and I'm really good at it. I have Saturn in a Mars-ruled 11th house btw.

Thanks for the warning abt Venus-Pluto seeing as I have that transit soon...
Look for the stick and don't touch it.
