Alison writes on the Pluto Uranus conjunction blog

In the sixties we did see new ways of being; the pill gave sexual liberation, revolutionary art, poetry, music and fashion. However, having observed my fellow peers with Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo there is a deep conservatism in this bunch. Like the Virgo is private and this group can keep their radicalness private and not on display. Some friends (of this group) have very mainstream, suburban, straight lives on the surface - but dig a little deeper and there will be an (one ?) aspect of their lives that is very naughty, risque and/or potentially criminal, experimental, creative. Many choose safe lives on the surface whilst being underground mavericks. Would love to hear more from Elsa with her knowledge an experiences with this curious lot.

Alison, you got it. And I agree with your take on this and here’s an example. This is the same friend here. Satori, who is a Pisces with her sun opposite the Pluto Uranus conjunction.

“Listen to this,” I said, reading from Leonard Cohen’s book, Energy Of Slaves:

I left a woman waiting
I met her sometime later
She said, Your eyes are dead
What happened to you, lover

And since she spoke the truth to me
I tried to answer truly
Whatever happened to my eyes
Happened to your beauty

O go to sleep my faithful wife
I told her rather cruelly
Whatever happened to my eyes
Happened to your beauty

“See that! Don’t tell Leonard Cohen his eyes or dead or he’ll write a poem about you! Gah. How would you like to be that gal?”

“No, thank you,” she said.

“Well I think I’d die! Don’t mess with a writer! And I think you should read this book. Because you write like this.”

“I do?”

“Yeah. Fact is you’re not that nice,” I said. “I know you’re supposed to be. I know your mother said you are but you are actually deadly… when you write.”

“Write?”

She’s a Pisces, see. She has no idea what she’s doing. “Yes, when you write. For example… well remember when that woman slept with your husband?” (“A Tale of Two Pisces”)

“Yes.”

“Okay, well you cut her throat all over your blog. Do you remember doing this?”

She laughed. “Of course! That was fun. I called her a Grackel,” she said with a snort. “That’s a big ugly bird,” she added, proudly.

We both roared.

“Yeah you did. And you did a lot more than that.”

“Yeah, I was pretty bad.”

“Whatever. I didn’t think it was bad. I thought it was… well just like Cohen. I am going to watch what I say about his body parts and you? Well I am not going to sleep with your husband for sure!”

She laughed.

“You know how to fight. And win. So my point is, this is in you. You have this energy… it’s yours if you can just get it loose. And reading some of this stuff and the movies too. Get the movies from the 60’s, I’ll tell you which ones and watch them. Because you hardly ever write on your blog, but we still read it.”

“No I don’t. And when I do, I never say anything.”

“Well, not very often. But we all still read and this is why. We think you might get pissed off and slaughter someone else and if you do, we want to see it. We want to read it, I mean. So as you can see this is not very country-club. It’s not what your mother wants you to be, however it is what you are and if you can find a way to own this and hone it, I think you will have a whole new life.”

Satori wrote about the woman who slept with her husband:

(an excerpt)

Beneath all that Spackle
She looks like a grackle
At least my true nature
Won’t cause one to faint…

“She wore this thick pancake makeup,” she explained.

I laughed. “You also talked about her ass,” I said. “You wrote on your blog that your husband said her ass was nothing special. You said that he said she had a not-so-special ass, for a woman her age,” I said.

“Yep, I wrote that,” she said. We were on the phone but I just knew she was smiling.

“Gah. Can you imagine how she felt when she read that? Sleep with a man and this is what comes back to you?” I shook my head. “I can’t even imagine. But you get my point. Veneer aside. Sacrificing Pisces aside, you are a freakishly endowed with very potent energy and I think you ought to use it. And it’s a Uranus transit to your Sun, so this is your creative energy. I would like to see some more shockingly (Uranus) potent (Pluto) poems out of you myself because I know they’re in there.”

Do you have a talent no one knows you have? And if you’re a Pisces, do you have a talent maybe you don’t even know you have? Tell us!
