The Soldier, Astrology, Writing, Fame and Nosy People: Saturn Square Mars Mercury in Synastry
Catch up here - Love, Respect and Do No Harm
Here is another manifestation of his Saturn squaring my Mars Mercury.
I want to write (Mercury) about a soldier (Mars). His Saturn comes down like a parent warning me my actions have consequences.
“I was talking to a pal the other day, she’s an astrologer,” I said.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. And she has this new technique she’s playing with. And she was messing with your chart, and she thinks you’re going to be famous.”
“Famous?” He sounded activated. “What do you mean, famous? Famous for what?”
“Because of something I write about you. She thinks I’ll write about you and I am pretty sure I will. And then people will know who you are and what you’ve done. You know. They’ll know about you. What you’ve done will be recorded. She’s probably right, too. She’s not some kind of lousy astrologer. She’s accomplished.”
“Well she better not be right. I better not become famous,” he said.
“Why not?”
“I don’t want to be famous. I’m not cut out for being famous. P, if I’m famous I’m going to have to have to kill people, do you realize this?”
“Kill people?”
“Yeah. I’ll have to kill people for sure. The first person who tries to bother me, I’m going to have to shoot them and I absolutely will. As soon as they step foot on my property, they’ll be dead.”
He went on to tell me what gun he would use and where he would perch. Or hide. Or whatever it is he’s going to do.
“Yep. I wouldn’t be a good idea for me to be famous. Because I will definitely shoot anyone who comes around and thinks they’re going to bother me or chat with me or anything else. I don’t want to be bothered and I didn’t ask to be bothered so you better not bother me.”
“So you mean if I want to come over, I am going to have to step over a bunch of bodies? Is this what you mean? There’ll be dead bodies lying all over in the front of your house? Just lying around and I step through them like a minefield?”
“Nooo,” he said, drawing it out as if I were ridiculous. “There won’t be a bunch of ‘em, P. They’ll be some bodies but just a couple. They’ll be few at the most.”
“You’re serious?”
“Yeah. But there won’t be a lot of bodies so don’t worry about that. I’m only going to have to shoot a couple and the word’ll get out, I’m sure.”
He chuckled and so did I.
“I see. So you mean if I write about you, people will die?”
“No. You can write about me. I just better not get famous from it and if I do get famous people better not bother me. No one better show up here trying to talk to me or ask me any questions. If I didn’t invite you then don’t show up. Unless you want to die, that is. Then come on over. But if I didn’t invite you, then you’re not welcome. Especially if you are any kind of reporter or any other kind of nosy person.”
“I see. Okay. So if I do write, I’ll warn them. How about that? I’ll say, don’t go there! Don’t try talk to him, or write to him. Don’t even try or he will kill you, for sure. He’ll shoot you right in the head, and that’ll be it. One bullet, down you’ll go! How’s that? Do I understand you? Do I have this right?”
“You do.”
“Okay then. I’ll keep this in mind and if it ever becomes and issue, I’ll handle it. Or I’ll try to.”
“Good, P. You handle it and you can’t, then don’t worry because I will.”

I voted ‘glad for the press’- but it’s not really the press I would like. More: if you’re interested, yes why not talk about it? I don’t think I’ll ever shoot someone for wanting to talk to me. No matter how hideous the other person, or his views. (see, for my work I want to talk to people who have views diametrically opposed to my own, people who are intolerant of difference so maybe I am the nosy person - nosier than the reporter how is that?).
But come on, you could have known for sure and in advance he would kill nosy people like me. It’s his job!
I would definitely feel ambivalent and I chose that one, but I’m not sure I would cooperate. It depends on the approach they used. There is definitely a part of me that can relate strongly to the soldier but there wouldn’t be any bodies unless they didn’t go away when I asked them to.
Geez, you soldier boyfriend really sounds like the caricature of the Ugly American, shooting anyone who trespasses…
Other than that, he’s right, he’ a military man and the way military men get famous is by killing and maiming people. That’s the reason for making that career choice in the first place, I guess
It depends on what their motive is. Unsolicited house calls are still unsolicited though, and I’d be on guard for sure.
I don’t think wanting to protect your privacy has anything to do with being an ugly American. It has to do with your values and what you feel is appropriate to give people. If you don’t invite them, they really shouldn’t be there, should they?
He would be exercising his right. If you don’t want people shooting trespassers, then change the law.
Celebrities are hounded. Anything to get the shot and make a few bucks. Look what happened to Princess Di.
There are two sides to this story.
I would probably feel the same way he would, but I am not equipped to act on it like him…so I voted for “hide under the bed.” I once got into a serious argument with my library’s public relations people because they wanted to quote me by name in a press release.
LOL!!!!!
i am preeeeetty sure he ain’t her boyfriend either!
I don’t think wanting to protect your privacy has anything to do with being an ugly American
Maybe, but identifying “protecting privacy” with shooting people (that’s what the boyfriend stated) it’s quintessentially Ugly American (and quintessentially what most of US is today, infact).
Anyway, I wouldn’ expect from a soldier anything different than wanting to shoot anyone within range!
Well I know a lot of soldiers and I believe it still has Nothing to do with being an American soldier. That’s such a broad statement it’s almost ignorant.
What do you mean ALMOST? It’s TOTALLY IGNORANT. I’m a bleeding-heart liberal and I find that statement offensive.
I was trying to be nice Marly, ha ha. Thanks! My significant other is the kindest most gentle hearted person I’ve known in my entire life and he was a soldier and had to do what he had to do. For godsakes, he puts up with me! If I had to guess, I would never think he was ever part of a military anything! Some people can separate different parts of their life. Elsa’s soldier sounds like soldiering is almost his way of life, but I still don’t think that makes him an Ugly American or whatever stereotype people want to proliferate.
Ahh. It was nice to get that out.
Can I mention he is totally not Elsa’s ’soldier boyfriend?” This person is forgetting…something.
I would be glad for the press. Ha! Leo.
Hey, everyone - The soldier is famous already - if only on this blog. We don’t know is name or where he lives - but we know him. I mean that Elsa has posted what -30 posts on the soldier already - he is famous, or infamous, or notorius?
Doesn’t anyone else have a mental image of the soldier “perching” in a tree?
Like a bird.
LOL
P.S. I didn’t vote any way because if a reporter knocked on my door (we all know how they twist things around), I just wouldn’t talk to them at all. But I guess it depends on what they wanted to talk about. I mean if it was the axe murderer down the street, maybe I might say something like, “I just don’t understand it, he seemed like such a nice guy,”.
I mean, someone always has to say that right? Why shouldn’t it be me? I could make my eyes extra big, to show just how surprised I was…
