Astrology And Your Lizard Brain: What Can You Not Help But Respond To?
Astrology in real life
Driving ‘cross Nebraska to see the soldier yesterday, I was thinking about that gal, Kate, looking for the beta male. And I was wearing a skirt of course. I always travel in a dress, or a skirt. I am most comfortable this way… I always have what I call a “travelin; dress”. Matter of fact, I won’t buy clothes that won’t travel but I realized I had another motive on the road.
I realized if I were to break down, all I would have to do is get out of the car in a skirt and some guy would stop to help me. He would be compelled. Not because of my look but because of my skirt. I just think there are men out there who HAVE to help a woman. Because they are attracted, maybe, but it could just as soon be a young man who thinks, “that could be my mother out there” and that’s it. They HAVE to stop.
So my next thought is women like me and men like that… well, we’re out in the world, looking for each other. Chivalrous men and the women who love them. Because although I have come to terms and adapted to the new way… people open doors for people as opposed to men opening doors for women, I still expect a man who is escorting me to absolutely get the door.
And I feel this is no different than pot smokers finding each other, you know? So I break down… step out of the car in my skirt and some guy hits his brakes 5 minutes later courtesy his lizard brain.
It’s my Venus in Leo that goes for the chivalry while Mars in Libra looks “pretty” to score. I respond to the man who takes this bait.
What does your lizard brain respond to?

Venus in Gemini and Mars in 9
Philosophical men who are intellectually bold and unorthodox drive me crazy… even if they’re not really “my” type physically, I can still be very much aroused by them.
Also it doesn’t matter if most people think a guy is a lunatic… as long as what he’s saying makes logical sense to me I don’t really care (and sometimes even if it doesn’t make sense to me I’m still attracted).
For example, David Icke with all his talk about the reptilians… I honestly don’t know what to think about that stuff but I find his intensity and fearlessness unbelievably attractive.
A big personality - funny, filling the room, everybody’s favorite person. Although sometimes they have problems and them I’m like, “how didn’t I see that?”. Then I realize that I was…distracted
controlled intensity of character, maturity, and spirit.
Aries Venus in 5th conjunct Saturn, Taurus Mars in 6th conjunct DSC opposite Neptune conjunct ASC. I think what attracts me is a mirror reflection of myself: nerdy, intellectual, somewhat repressed with a wild streak.
Lightening quick wit and humor (but it must not be unkind)…..has to be appreciated via Mercury I guess, so Mercury in Capricorn in 7th, sextile Mars in Scorpio in 5th?
It’s changed over time. I once was a sucker for cool, rational, brainy types (Capricorn Saturn in 7th?) and kept finding myself with engineers. I’m over that. Now I get weak-kneed for artistic types, especially musicians (Venus/Mars square Neptune in 5th). Add in a quick wit, and I’m yours.
smell. I’ll be blunt. I swoon at the smell of certain guys. I don’t mean their aftershave either. I mean their sweat. I have to admit that I feel lost in the US of A because men bathe so much.
I also respond to intelligence without a huge ego attached. I need a guy with brains, lots of them, a very good command of the english language. A play on words, a double entendre. I’m a gonner. That and if he can debate politics of other countries, talk about the latest scientific development, etc. etc.
But, honestly, smell. That’s the bottom line.
Mars in Cap sextile the conjuncted fifth and eighth house rulers (Pluto & Uranus)… so, damned near anything.
Musical, artistic, deep thinking types with an intensity and passion but also laid back and funny. Mars conjunct Neptune trine a 8th house Venus-Pluto conjunction
mudlikesubstance,
I think you’re talking about phermones. It’s the natural scent that attracts you to or repells you from certain people. I dated a guy once who was damn near perfect. He was good looking, sweet, affectionate, smart, etc….
but there was something about his smell I just could NOT take. It wasn’t stinky or anything, I just didn’t like it. Thank God though, I’d still be with him probably, and not my hubby
I love my hubby’s phermones.
They have to be smart. That always toppedmy requirements list…and still does. Mercury in Virgo in the 5th.
I respond strongly to people who have stacks and stacks of books in their apartment — shelves and shelves of the things. Also notebooks and papers and all the accoutrement of an intellectual lifestyle. It feels like “home” to me — and I think it’s overwhelmingly attractive. Venus in Virgo, of course
I’m also very much endeared to people who have a hard time verbally expressing themselves… not sure where that’s shown in my chart (maybe it’s the Moon sextile Mercury…?)
Venus in Sagittarius in the 1st says free wheeling and optimistic while Mars in Scorpio is about physical competence, especially on the ASC. Street smart/common sense is very important too. Intellectual types are OK but can they fix the lawn mower when it breaks down?!
I mostly ignore my lizard brain. No doubt it likes what it likes, but I don’t know what that is.
Piya…
I have Venus in Virgo also….and I have tons of notebooks! Just random notebooks for every little thing I can think of. Thanks for pointing that out….I just thought it was my sun in Leo organizational skills. lol
uhhh, tall, dark & handsome, a mustache, communicative and a heap of brain cells! If you smell good, so much the betta!!
I guess my lizard brain is all about survival mode, no men included. It´s like “don´t stand between me and my food”, kind of. Fortunately, I´ve got other parts of my brain working in different ways, plus I´m trained to put a leash to my hormones. If I respond, I go for the hidden wild side of men, in case there is one.
When I met my hubby he asked for my phone number & then he typed it into his wristwatch (in 1987).
My 00 Virgo Venus was immediately smitten hahaha.
Yesterday was our 17th wedding anniversary.
Jilly - that is completely sweet.
my lizard brain falls for deep, slightly excentric guys with lots of potential on a subject I like. could be art, music, astrology, or even something else. also they need to have character and be humanistic, have ideals.
that’s what pleases my venus in cap and mars in aqua.
Oh sheesh… speaking of difficulty expressing one’s self…
My previous post is backwards… what I meant to say was I’M drawn to people who struggle with words, not them to me (although I suppose that’s also true to an extent)…
Part of it’s that I can empathize with them… I was born during Mercury retrograde (in TAURUS to boot!) so yeah I definitely have experience with screwing up and being misunderstood :p
Haha gawd it made sense in my head that Taurus Mercury Rx would be especially bad, but now I don’t even know what the hell I was talking about (there’s a shock)…
Anyway yeah maybe it’s cos Mercury is retrograde right now (and maybe it’s cos I haven’t gotten near enough sleep lately) but my mind is like a void… I’m just going to stop posting before I further embarrass myself :p
