Astrology And The Drive, Determination And Desire For A Difficult And Challenging Life
Astrology In Real Life
The soldier constantly threatens to have a tirade. He is only about 4% serious I think, but you never know.
“One of these days, I’m going to go in there and I’m the take the back of my arm, and rake everything off his desk…”
And the fantasy is specific too. For one thing because he did this once… he raked everything odd some guy’s desk like that and the memory is a fond one. But what gets me is how perfectly this is reflected in his chart (Saturn, Mars, Mercury T-square). Because he specifically says he misses the old rotary phones! Because when you raked everything off someone’s desk in the old days, the receiver would fly off the phone and be dangling, and sprawled. So you’ve got you violence (mars), against an authority figure (the guy behind the desk) and the phone (Mercury).
“Look, I’m pretty sure you’re not going to do that. I think you’re going to keep this job,” I said.
“You do?
“Yeah, it suits you. Isn’t it the worst most grueling job you could possibly get? Don’t they push you beyond limits that are human on a daily basis? Isn’t the whole thing one impossible challenge?”
“Yes.”
“Well that’s what you want. That’s what you like. So go ahead and threaten but I bet you stay. I bet you don’t rake anything anywhere. You’ll work it out. You’ll master this,” I said. “Not quit.”
“Yeah, you’re probably right,” he said.
“Yep. Your job is horrible and difficult job akin to Special Forces and this is what you love. The worst job on the planet, that’s the one for you.”
“That’s right.”
“And you want me too. Say! Does this mean I’m horribly difficult? Does this mean I am the hardest most difficult challenging cause-you-pain woman on the planet? Oh my God, is this my appeal?”
“Well I’ve never thought of it that way, P but that makes sense. You may be on to something.”

I like challenges but of a quieter sort - probably that Libra Moon/Neptune - artistic challenges are more my forte. Now my Aries is like the soldier - bring ‘em on!! He has slowed down somewhat with age but with that much Cardinal energy, he still enjoys stretching himself w/lots of bitching and moaning, of course!
I picked Sky High. I’ll bitch and moan about it, but get it done. It seems everywhere I work, I have the worst job there, the most demanding, the most frustrating, and it never changes no matter where I go.
Oh yeah, I attribute that to Saturn in the 6th in Virgo. But I also attribute my stellar work ethic to it as well.
I voted high. I’m a very physical person but I don’t like physical challenges. For example I could walk for 8 hours…but a friend asked me to join a boot camp for fitness with her and I said forget it.
That’s not the kind of challenge I’m looking for.
I like picking my own brain though, and figuring out the way I tick.
I love a challenge. I AM a challenge. Ditto to your thought Kashmiri, “I like picking my own brain and figuring out the way I tick.”
Aw man, can I relate to that! I’ve had that fantasy too
You are so right, I almost fell out of my chair. Hee
The most difficult, grueling, frustrating stuff gets piled onto my plate, every single time. As soon as I get over one hurdle, another one pops up. I complain about it too, but never walk away. Apparently it’s attractive to me on some level because when I do get something easy it just doesn’t have the same effect! I get bored and lose interest. I need to be pushed, stretched, challenged to the max in order to feel all of myself. Makes me feel like I’m living at top speed. I love a challenge - in every part of my life. And I definitely want “the hardest most difficult challenging cause-you-pain” man on the planet. I just don’t value ease for some reason, time and time again I go for something that will challenge me, but I also like good quality - and you can’t get that w/o some difficulty!
Elsa - I’d say he likes a challenge, but not simply because it’s a challenge. He probably also likes the quality of the person that comes with all these challenges. He has Venus/Saturn right? Perhaps hardship is what he accepts in order to be with someone as great as you. Anything less just doesn’t cut it.
