Jesse The Sagittarian: Human Nature - “We’ll Just See About That…”
Astrology in real life
I was on a crosstrainer and here comes Jesse. “That one is broken,” I said indicating the machine next to me. His face fell.
“Yeah, I know. These machines are falling apart. And you don’t believe me, do you?” I asked.
“Well…”
“I know, I know. You’re going to have to get on the thing and try it for yourself. Make sure I know what I’m talkin’ about.”
“Well…”
“Go ahead. It’s not like you’ll hurt my feelings,” I said, grinning. We both laughed because it was so ridiculous. “I’d find it hard to walk away myself. Just because it doesn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t fix right up for you… lucky as you are. Smilin’ as you are.”
He raised an eyebrow and got on the machine. It made a clunky grinding sound as he started up and we both shrugged.
“See ya, Jesse.”
“Later, Elsa.”
Would you have tried the machine for yourself? Why or why not?

Nope. I wouldn’t have wanted to offend the person who announced it.
Yeah, he was struggling with that Valkyrie, that’s why I offered permission. I have also quit warning people except for those as hard core as myself who know for sure I would know. Just simpler to let them discover it themselves and then glance over sympathetically…
No! And it’s not about offending the other person (I’m a Sag too so I don’t even notice those things), but because I would look like an idiot doing it!!
ha ha, joana! Good point and that happened too. I think this story must be testament to just how blustery the blustery are! And another reason for me to keep my mouth shut!
Hahah I’d wait til you left and if someone else got on your machine I’d check to see where you were and wander over all nonchalant to see if it was or wasn’t.
I need to try for myself, but I don’t want to (saturn forbid) look silly!
Nope, I’d take your word for it. I generally trust what people tell me.
I absolutely would have tried it! Mars in curious Gemini, wants to poke around for itself just for sheer fun. And obsessive Pluto in Virgo/3rd notices that very few people truly investigate something before making a declaration about it, and simply MUST know WHY. So I wouldn’t have just tried it, I’d have been checking all the parts and what actions caused what noises, etc. I’d have done this right after assuring you that I was positive you were correct, co-miserating about the wretched luck, but admitting curiosity to tinker a bit myself…timid Crab lady with loads of 12th/Pisces, I’m not usually confrontational about *anything*. Even if my Pluto IS thinking, “broken? Maybe. But are you bright enough to actually LOOK at what’s really going on? ‘Cause nobody else sure as hell does….”
Yes I would have checked it, only because I know from growing up in a house full of broken down decrepit things–it’ll work for you and not me; or me and not you…Not worried about looking stupid, but I would like to know what is broken about it!
I’d have accepted your word. But if it was the only available trainer, I’d fume at the obstacle to my (timely) work-out. And if I found out later that it wasn’t broken, only being saved for someone, I’d feel like a fool and have a confrontation.
Natal Saturn in Virgo-ness mayhaps?
