Talking to the soldier a couple days ago…

“We’re talking about death on my blog,” I said. “People seem pretty interested.”

“What about death?”

“Oh some people are afraid, others not. I am going to ask about the Titanic. The movie, I mean. You saw it didn’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“Well at the end there the ship is going down and everyone on it has to decide what they are going to do. Some of them are heroic, some of them not and so forth. So the question is, what would you do in those circumstances? So what would you do?”

Star Treks: New York has everything under the sun. Match your zodiac sign to all that the city has to offer

Lawrence Grecco writes regarding Capricorn:

“Your life tends to get better as you get older and as you slowly climb your way to the top of the metaphorical mountain. In New York City, you have the opportunity to indulge in your desire to reach the summit by rock-climbing at the Field House at Chelsea Piers (Pier 62, 23rd Street and the Hudson River, 212-336-6500 x 6577). Once at the top, you can power-lunch with local masters of the universe at two of their favorite Midtown feeding grounds, the ‘21′ Club (21 W. 52nd St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues, 212-582-7200) and the Grill Room in The Four Seasons restaurant (99 E. 52nd St. between Lexington and Park avenues, 212-754-9494). Structure and foundation are crucial to a Capricorn, so visiting any of this city’s impressive architectural wonders such as the Chrysler Building at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue-a soaring example of the Art Deco style-is recommended…”

Y’all new the easy times wouldn’t last forever and today we have conflict between the Moon in Scorpio and the stellium in Aquarius.

Basically one person is aloof and spiritual (delusional?) and projecting their shadow onto the other poor bastard.

At least that is one description, I haven’t got all day.

Dear Struggling,

It doesn’t matter if I think you are supposed to be okay with this situation (I don’t) because the fact is, you are not okay with this situation. You have the chart of a very disciplined person, a strong parent and there is just no way you are going to be comfortable with children running amok and running the household.

Thing is, there is little you can do without your fiance’s willing cooperation and while it sounds as if he may be learning, he is certainly learning slowly - which is another thing you cannot control.

It is also common that people resent the person who shows up trying to achieve some kind of order when they are used to disorder. Who the hell are you to come in and rain on their parade? Last, you are outnumbered. It is you and your son (who I assume is like you) against these three mavericks so what to do?

Well you can ask and you’ve done that. You can set an example and you’ve done that too, so this leaves you to decide whether you can stick this out or not.

Can you tolerate the situation in the hopes it gets better - or alternately, can you tolerate this situation until his children are older and take off in their own direction? Because I really don’t think you are going to be able to be able to have much effect on the scenario without your fiance’s 100% support, which he is clearly not offering. In fact is sounds like the whole family is making you the bad guy and eventually, yeah. This is going to color the way your son sees you.

I am sorry but this sounds like there is incompatibility at a fundamental level and I would really recommend against marriage until and unless the two of you can come to some kind of agreement and show some solidarity for the sake of everyone involved.

Good luck.

kashmiri writes regarding Saturn

“Basically a person needs to accept there is no ‘get out of jail free card’ and things improve. Exponentially.”

kashmiri, I understand what you are saying and know you would elaborate but I have to jump on and argue this. I have been handed many, many “get out of jail” free cards in life. I have stood on the ground and looked up at the sky time and time again and asked God exactly this:

“You’ve got to be kidding me? You mean I am going to get away with this?”

And apparently God approves because I do get away with the thing.

I have had it all, from judges who rule for me even though I am 100% wrong and say so in open court to enjoying spontaneous unexplainable healing after devastating injury. These things happen to me, I swear they do and as far as I am concerned it may very well be Saturn giving me the pass. What is a judge if not Saturn? It is as if the authority looks down on me and says you know what, Elsa? You don’t suck after all and this one is on me.

For the record, I also hand these cards out out all the time. Take my son. He is such a good kid. You think if he makes one mistake I am going to come down on him? I’m not. I am going to get him out of his trouble in the the most painless (for him) way possible and then shrug.

I think you can get beaten all your life and then run into someone who is just not going to be party to it under any circumstances and I think the people who spare you are the Capricorns I mentioned here -> Capricorn, Saturn and Compassion

Nice segue, huh?

If you do get them, to what do you attribute this too? 

Chart is approximate. This gal is 17 years old. She reports being born, “PM” so I placed the time @ 6 PM.

Dear Elsa,

I have a problem and need some advice. There is a teacher at my school he stares at me a lot. Whenever I enter the classroom he makes an eye contact with me. I feel like he’s attracted to me. I heard he even got married a few months ago. The way that he stares at me it’s really bothers me. I have NO relationship with him and never will be. He hasn’t act inappropriately around me. Please help me, what should I do? should I report him?

Dear Student,

I would confront this teacher for sure in whichever way you are most comfortable. You can “report him” or alternately you can just tell him directly that his staring at you makes you very uncomfortable.

Tactically the latter is preferable because if you suffer any backlash after the confrontation, you still have the option of reporting him. Slick, huh?

But I understand this may be too demanding so if you go the other route, I would only recommend you change your language. You are not “reporting” him, you are letting a counselor know that one of your teachers is making you uncomfortable and he/she is taking it from there.

Good luck!

Can anyone else help? Please do.

There is a terrific discussion around death on the Death/Suicide video and it made me think of the Titanic movie which I think most have seen.

I was extremely moved by the movie, never mind manipulations or whatever flaws and cheesiness that might have been part and parcel of the film. Fact is it depicted a momentous event and I found it easy to be swept into the size and scope and emotion of the movie never mind all that water. I especially liked the length of the movie because I got to be gone for hours but here’s my question:

Yesterday, some guy made a comment about my body as I was leaving the gym.

Talk About Blunt

Whatever weight I had gained I would say it was less than 5 pounds. The soldier had this to say about the incident:

Well aspected Scorpio Moon. The rest of the sky is pretty nice too.

It’s like looking up on the fourth of July and seeing the sky full of fireworks, lit up in a way that is especially appealing.

Days like this are moving, like getting dealt a nice hand in cards. It’s tasty. It feels good. Play ‘em.
