This is the Celeb-Astroblogy written by KittyTaurus.

I don’t know what to say. Anyone who calls Renee Zellweger “scrunchy-faced” is okay by me. She posts every day. Check her out!

All the comments being held in moderation have been posted. I have not spoken with HQ but I thought about all this and I just don’t see policing comments (beyond making sure the people asking questions aren’t attacked) as my role here. It’s my job to create the content which obviously takes tremendous energy and whatever I have left, I figure it belongs to my kids, my man, my friends and myself.

Besides this, I just don’t believe in censorship or tightly controlled anything, so it’s no wonder it did not occur to me to step in on that thread. I figured the discussion would come back up, break through, go over a cliff or whatever, as nature intends. And I am not in the habit of thwarting or trying to control nature! In fact, this was the conversation about this before I got the mail from HQ. I was talking to the AMF:

“They’re fighting on my blog. Two cats. It’s a cat fight,” I said.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. And then a dog showed up,” I laughed.

“What’s a dog? A boy?”

“Yeah. A boy. And then another boy got in there…”

So that’s where I was at. And when that mail came in, I thought, oh crap! Am I supposed to be doing something? ::laughs:: Am I the police? Because if so, I was completely asleep on the job!

I had my advice posts written a week ahead, loaded and ready to go. I had finished my story. I thought I was in done!

So anyway, this is my progress report. I’ll be back later, have a good day.

The Double Libra surfaces, here. I think cooooool she did. People amaze me. I love this blog.

Also, Lise commented on the Pluto in Sagittarius post, regarding the Harvard student/author/plagiarizer that it would interesting to see what form her rebirth took, as if “rebirth” is a given. I don’t think it is. Many people go down and stay down. Rising from the ashes takes skills. And as an example, check OJ Simpson. Did he have a rebirth? Hell no.

When I think of OJ, I think of my mother. She used to say you’re in big trouble “when decent people don’t want anything to do with you.” And I think that describes OJ.

But back to Kaavya Viswanathan, I do think the story is very interesting, as is what people have to sat about it, here (blogcritics), here (blogcritics, and in contrast to the Frey debacle) and here (Miss Snark!)

Regarding the passionate debate in the comments here, there are some comments being held in moderation until I speak with my editor, HQ. He emailed late last night to say he felt the conversation was devolving and “a few people just going at it and not really focusing on substantive discussion…” He wondered if we should step in.

To be very honest, it had not occurred to me to interfere. In fact, I told someone privately I felt my responsibility and obligation was to the people who send the questions and outside of that, this was the internet. Further, at least people are talking about art!

But after HQ’s mail, I am not so sure about this. Maybe there needs to be some lines, in which case I apologize. I would say I took my eye off the ball, but in truth, I didn’t even know there was a ball. But I definitely respect HQ’s whistle when he blows it, so we’re going to have to discuss this and come up with some kind of policy.

In the meantime, the new comments are on ice. We will resolve this as quickly as possible and however it ends up, I do appreciate the participation on this site. I think it adds tremendous value and interest and further, I wouldn’t be here if you guys weren’t. Thank you.

Dear Aquarius,

Well here’s the thing. What are you calling him for? Do you want to go another round? Do you want to present yourself as detached and casual, when in fact you’re a jealous maniac waiting to happen? Because if this is the case, you ought to leave the guy alone.

On the other hand, if you are genuinely sorry and wish to take responsibility and you know he is not involved with someone else, then you definitely should call him. But you’d better be humble - and you’d better brace yourself, because you may be rejected.

Saturn in Leo (opposing your Sun and Moon in Aquarius) is pressuring you to grow up and handle your relationships with a degree of maturity. And the fact that this guy is haunting you… well I suspect you did him wrong. So go do him right, and things should ease. Nothing wormy, okay? Like this:

“Hey, it’s me. I’ve been thinking about you and I really think I acted like an ass…”

And if he rejects you? Well then you’ll have learned a hard lesson, but one which will benefit you for the rest of your life. For the record, this is sort of like what parents do to kids when they shoplift. They make them take the item back and apologize, and it cures most kids of stealing for life.

Can you see that if you do this, regardless of his reaction, it’s very unlikely that you will pull this shit with the next man? Which means you learned something, which means you win. Bottom line: no pain, no gain.

Good luck.

Paiyeo stumbled across what she thought was a Freudian slip in this post. That was a really good guess, but what she really stumbled on was my stupidity. I have been using the wrong word my whole life.

Dani mentioned the AMF looks like Leonard Cohen. He does, but better. Leonard Cohen has a Leonard Cohen ass. The AMF has a matador ass. No contest, if you’re me.

cu and Marly asked if a person wanting to change their life could find the ways and means via astrology and the answer is definitely yes. And I include that with these questions when I can, but frequently that kind of information falls outside the format of this blog.

satori surfaced to identify herself as one of the cheated on women in the astro-twins post. I wound up introducing those two women when I found out another little detail. That is, there husband’s had the same first name. Can you imagine that?

And how would you like to be the women cheating with these guys? Talk about being in the grip of a complex. She’s all over the country finding men named ***** married to Pisces, with Leo rising women who also have Pluto Uranus conjunctions.

I didn’t see much difference between her and a serial rapist targeting women 5′5″-5′7″ with chestnut brown hair.

Dear Burned,

I remember you and I’m terrifically sorry to hear your relationship went south. I wish I had some magic pill for the pain, but I don’t. But it also sounds as if you want some sort of explanation and that I can give.

There is no denying you were brilliantly matched with this man. By that I mean: if you’re out there looking around and he’s out there looking around, you’d be hard pressed to find people better suited to each other. But this does not guarantee a successful partnership!

The reason is that people have their own minds and their own hearts and their own choices to make. Some people make insane choices… or at least it appears this way to others. They choose to stay in a bad relationship or to fuck up a good one, for example. And onlookers say, ‘How could you possibly be so stupid?”

But the fact is, nobody is fit to judge another person’s life. And that may sound ironic, seeing as I do it 6 times a week on this blog, but my opinion is solicited.

And this is my point: oeople mess up good things alllll the time. They are given opportunities which they squander. They are given good friends or a good family, which they fail to appreciate. Or maybe they do appreciate those good friends, but it’s five years after the time they lost them, i.e. “The One That Got Away”. And maybe you see what I mean.

I don’t know all happened between you and this man before that last night but considering you’re a double Scorpio, I am sure “plenty” doesn’t begin to cover it. And now he has pulled the plug for reasons you probably only know the half of, and all you can do is go from here.

Here’s how I would proceed…if I were you, that is. If I were a double Scorpio, I would recall just how powerful my energy is and I would immediately take it off this man. Let him drop. Because he will drop, within seconds of you pulling out like that.

This done, I would lie in wait, knowing this is my strongest play, though intensely uncomfortable. I would let the man see what it is like without me. And I would understand that as soon as he found this out, one of two things would happen. That is, he will ring me up in screaming pain or he will be gone.

And this is what you need to know, right? Well that’s the fastest way to find out. Want to know the slowest way? Keep badgering him.

Good luck.

The story about the Harvard student / author who plagiarized is textbook manifestation of Pluto in Sagittarius.

She starts out all bigger than life (Sagittarius) with her publishing (Sagittarius) contract. She’s a foreign (Sagittarius) student at a university (Sagittarius) and then her shadow is exposed and BAM. Into the depths she falls (Pluto).

Will she come back up? What do you think?

Yesterday, I got a question from someone born the same day as Scott, same year. His astro-twin. Boy do I know that chart, or what? At the same time, this gal is born some hours later than Scott, so the wheel is turned, the planets falling in different house and she’s had a completely different life.

This has happened to me a few times. Well it’s happened four times, anyway. Inadvertently stumbling on someone’s astro-twin that is. For example, have you ever heard of Peter Pan? The internet version?

Well, about ten years ago I wrote this guy for his birth data. I was contemplating a project back then and you might imagine surprise when he mailed back his birth data and it was just hours off the birth data of one of the most prominent astrologers on the internet. I thought this was significant because both men had achieved some serious notoriety early days, online.

And then there was the gal who wrote me for a consultation because some gal had screwed her husband. She was a Leo rising, Pisces with the late sixties Pluto Uranus conjunction.

Imagine my surprise when six months later, another Leo rising Pisces with that conjunction emailed me because some gal had screwed her husband and get this:

It was the same gal!! The same gal screwed both of these women’s husbands and not only did they not know each other, they lived in different states! Now what are the odds?

Anyway years ago, the newsgroup alt.astrology used to maintain a database of birth so people could look for their astro-twin. They probably still do, if you’re interested in this. I will save my best astro-twin story for another day, but what about you?

Have you ever have these types experiences? Where you continually meet the same people or circumstance?

Dear Loveless,

If you keep doing whatever it is you are doing, you are going to get what you’ve always got. In fact, Benjamin Franklin defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.” You are solidly in your 40’s now and if you want to see a change, you are simply going to have to take it upon yourself to transform your life.

Because when something happens over and over and over in relationships with others, when a theme repeats, this means it is you with the problem. Because you are the common denominator in all the various scenarios. And if you are not willing to go deep and put yourself in the shop for a major overhaul, then most definitely your past is going to predict your future.

But what if you do want to get your ass in gear? What if you do want to get proactive? What if you do want to take a hard look at yourself? Well, then I think you can fix this. I do not count anybody out, ever. There is always hope. But at 45, you cannot afford to wait for someone to solve this for you. So do you want to know where to start? I’ll tell you what I glean, from just the one paragraph you wrote.

You identify as a victim (”they just leave me in tears…”) without any words about the part you might have played in these relationships. This also indicates a lack of taking responsibility for your life in general.

You write, “I have good friends, that’s all, nothing more…” which shows a marked lack of gratitude and appreciation. Having good friends is an enormous gift. There is also a lack of humility, as well as a sense of entitlement.

You say life has only delivered you these few friends, but you don’t speak to any efforts you have made or plan to make. You’re just lonely and miserable. You’re a victim of life who has gotten the short end of the stick. And I don’t know if you can see this or not, but I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind would sign on to put up with this, out of a woman in her 40’s.

So I hope you get to work on this. Because it doesn’t have to be the way it is, I promise you that. Good luck.
