The Soldier And P - Unapologetic Territorial Dogs
Astrology in real life
Mars with Saturn? I suppose so. I was talking to the soldier yesterday…
‘Yeah, an old pal showed up on my blog. This always happens. I write about someone and then they show up. It’s happened again and again. I am waiting for Speedy.”
“Speedy?”
“Yeah. When is Speedy going to show up? I’ve been writing about him enough lately.”
(swearing below the break)
“If Speedy shows up on your blog, I’ll kick his ass.”
“Oh you will not. You’d be glad to see Speedy.”
“Well yeah. But I’d still kick his ass for being on your blog. You don’t talk to my girl without permission from me!”
I laughed.
“And I damned better be in the room when you do, too.”
“You’re crazy.”
“The hell. You’re the same way I am. What if La, La, La, Lara came around talking to me?”
“You mean what if you had an apartment and one of my friends showed up over there to talk to you? Just went over there to see you when I was at work or something?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, you’re right. I’d be pissed.”
“Pissed? What do you mean pissed? You’d be out of your head with rage. You would be out of your head, P. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t because I’ve seen you. I’ve seen you pissed off at women who think they’re going to get near me.”
I laughed nervously.
“Yeah, I used to watch you with your roommates. Like that Army girl who was your roommate once. I’d come over and she’d come in and sit on the couch and you’d wait about 30 seconds and then say, okay. Weren’t you going somewhere? Didn’t you have something you were going to do?”
I snorted.
“Yeah, you’d run everybody off. You did it with the UPS girl who was your roommate too. You were leaving, right?” He laughed. “You’d get them the hell out and I’d watch you do it like I’d watch you change your shirt three times or make me breakfast. I enjoyed watching you do this, P.”
“You did?”
“Yeah. If there were any women around you run them right the fuck off.”
“Yeah, yeah. Okay, so yeah I did. I was jealous as hell.”
“Yep and your friends knew this about you just like my friends know this about me. It’s one thing if you don’t know someone is jealous but take Lara. She knows you. She knows damned well you’re jealous and she knows if she shows up over at my place without you and she’s trying to make friends with me, she knows you are going to go ballistic.”
“Yeah, I guess she would know that. What the hell are you doing, I’d ask. What the hell are you over there sniffing around him for? Well you son of a bitch. How many million men in the world are there and you’ve got to show up over at his place? What the hell is that? What the hell do you think you’re you doing?”
He laughed. “Right. So if Speedy shows up on your blog, I’m kicking his ass. Speedy knows the rules when it comes to another man’s woman so if he shows up it would be a deliberate breaking of the rules so I would kick his ass for sure. And after that was done then maybe we could go have a beer. I don’t know, I’d have to see. I’d have to see how I felt once I’d kicked his ass but the ass would be kicked, make no mistake about it. If you’re my friend, then you stay the fuck away from my girl when I’m not around or else!”
A few minutes later..
“Do you think if we’d have stayed together we’d have grown up? Outgrown this jealousy?”
“Well I haven’t grown up yet, so probably not. No we don’t outgrow this. This is how we are.”
Are you territorial? Where is your Mars?

Mars in Capricorn, first house.
I’m completely territorial. When I moved into my current place I scrubbed it top to bottom ’cause I didn’t like the previous occupant “Don’t mind me, I just need to get whatssinames cooties outta here . .”. It could just be the load of earth planets though. Stuff matters to me. Actual physical touch it stuff. And that includes my physical space. I’ll ask people to give me a little more space if they get too close in line and it bothers me. ect.ect.
I used to think I was the least territorial person I know. Then I came to the realization that people don’t just come near my space/partner/etc.
Must be my Mars in Aries…which doesn’t give off a very ‘willing to be challenged’ vibe.
Hell yeah I’m territorial. If I’m riding the subway with my man and another woman looks at him, I’ll stare her down and say “What the f*ck are you looking at?”
Mars in Taurus/7th house
i don’t think so.
(mars/pisces/7th.)
but i’m very protective of my space, so maybe. but i’m protective of my own space even (and perhaps especially) within partnerships.
not about other people though.
except my son. but that’s not jealously, that’s maternal instinct.
Mars in Cancer, conjunct Ascendant.
Yes, this whole retro thing has been hard on me, and yes, I want to kill someone because I suspect that my man is having lunch with his ex right now. But he hasn’t told me.
Hi Jessica,
I hope this helps you: My SO has Mars in Cancer (0 degrees) square his Aries rising and I had lunch with my ex today. But only to return a box of first-edition books and to let my ex know that things were completely, 100% over between the two of us and that he had to stop contacting me because I was crazy in love with my SO. Will my SO be told about the lunch? No. He is so sensitive re: losing me (because he lost me 28 years ago), that I would be cruel to let him know about a meeting that meant less than nothing to me. So in this case at least, ignorance is bliss.
And oh yes, I’m very territorial–insanely so– when it comes to my privacy (Mars conjunct Pluto in Virgo, 12th house). When I was a teenager I would “booby-trap” my nightstand drawer and closet trunk in order to find out whether family members were poking through my journals and penpal letters. And yes, they were!!!
The only fight I’ve had with my SO in the six months we’ve been dating was about him having shown his female cousin (and best friend since childhood) one of my romantic “when we’re old, we’ll still be dancing cheek-to-cheek and making out in the bathtub” emails. I went absolutely crazy on him. Told him if he ever showed “my naked soul” to another person again, I’d be forced to leave him. I’d sooner he showed his friends naked photos of me than have anyone read any of the letters/emails I’ve written to him. Weird, huh? But now he knows and I feel safer knowing that he knows about this weird quirk of mine.
Territorial? I don’t know … okay, yes, I do.
The other day I accompanied my dude to his work to help out. He works in a theater and there are lots of teenage girls who have crushes on him (they’re part of a local acting troupe) and lots of people who are constantly asking him questions. So obviously, he can’t devote all of his attention to me: he’s at work, right? And he has to be nice to these girls. And so on.
But does Mars in Scorpio like being shunted off to the side? Noooooo. Scorpio Mars gets resentful and Leo sun pouts, and Virgo Venus worries that I’m not interesting enough to pay attention to. That evening, having spent the entire day moping, it hit me that I was possessive as hell. I almost laughed. It helps to know it.
I’m really territorial about my house, my personal space. Otherwise, not so much. My recent ex boyfriend did adult movies - and we both played around with other people, and I never had an issue with it as long as I knew. He had pretty much the same attitude.
Mars 2nd house cancer, conjunct Venus.
I’m territorial about my privacy, and my space. If I want to share, that’s one thing, but getting into my “stuff” (physical, emotional, mental, whatever) uninvited is a no-go, and tends to piss me off.
Territorial over people…not so much, unless I’m somehow feeling threatened or weak in the relationship. In a dog, they’d probably call it “fear aggresssion…”
Okay, now that I’ve read the above comments, I don’t feel territorial anymore.
Anyone is free to look at my man and they can flirt with them if they want.
Alma with great respect to you…your post made me laugh. That is a 7th House Mars talking
Hmmm, I’m not terribly jealous, but I must sense other’s intentions. My husband has female clients and I hear him talking and joking with them and it doesn’t phase me in the least. The conversations aren’t the least bit flirty, more like brother/sister.
But, now and again someone will come along and I’m like, “I wouldn’t trust her alone in a room with you.” This one woman found his picture and profile on a website with a team of colleagues and she emailed him and talked about how she had a yellow lab (dog) too. She lived like 500 miles away. I turned into a pitbull;)
Oh, but personal space, now that I need lots of. I’m Italian, so very warm and affectionate with family and friends, but stand too close to me in line and it makes my skin crawl (just thinking about it, ewww).
“In a dog, they’d probably call it “fear aggresssion…”
Saturn Mars!
Kashmiri, glad my post made you laugh! It is great fun to look at planetary placements in this way.
I’m very territorial, detrimentally so. But I also grew up with a family that said I was “being selfish” for telling them to put my stuff back in it’s proper place when they were done with it. (Fixed, dude, FIXED. Then Cardinal.
) But it’s mine, mine, MINE! Bwahahaha! *dainty cough*
You people probably get sick of hearing about my Mars since it hits almost everything in my chart, so this time I’m not going through the big list.
