Ah-HA!
I knew it! I am jumping for joy!
You have a Sagittarius Moon! Oh yes you do. This is one of the most important personal planets because it shows what kind of emotions you feel (benevolent, expansive, philosophical) and what you need to feel safe and secure (optimism, a 'goal' to reach, idealism). Hmmmm! It was something in your attitude coupled with the sciatica that made me think that something was up. PLUS the fact that if you did have something in Sagittarius that would mean that you either have had, recently, or will have (fairly soon) a major transformation in your life! yesssirrreee.
Now that I know that it would be your Moon that would be affected the transformation would be on an emotional level (and maybe some attitude shift towards your Mother or women in general)....So, depending on what time you were born I can tell you if this has already happened or if it's about to! hmmmm....
Oh and the collander was always a beautiful acid-green colour! Nope - that would be yukky if it turned that colour through use! ick!
That is cool about the lecithin...
Oh and you have a Scorpio Mercury (like me, too! - Oh I am a Sagittarius) So that's why the interest in the Mysteries! Uncovering a semblance of 'truth'.
Also...I see cleansing and health would be up your alley - Both Venus and Mars in Virgo. You're too hard on yourself though. Perfectionism? Big Desire nature. Might be hard to go after what you want, though...if it involves Details then that's perfect.
Okay...gotta make dinner!
