    Elsa, you have a very different blouse today, what’s up? ;) But it’s appropriate to talk about a double Gemini, all yellow. It’s bright, looks great on you. See? I’m already projecting things because you’re not wearing your uniform lol

    My mother is a double Gemini and she does stand up and stick up for the witches when they’re at their lowest. She has Capricorn rising, that gives her more substance.

    I bought that because I had to relinquish my yellow purse. I wore it because I like yellow clothes because they are sunnY!

    LOL! I couldn’t help but notice how cheery & great you look in your yellow blouse too! Love the smocking on the edge. :)

    I have lots of Scorpio and am more inclined to defend others in pain than myself.

    Woo hoo, nice shirt!!

    It looks great on you :)

    grandma the gemini has always supported me.

    i knew a girl in school who wouldn’t tolerate anyone picking on anyone else. ever. she also was a star on the track, cross country, and (boys!) hockey teams. quite a spunky lady.

    i do, sometimes. more often than not i’m sideways about it, though.

    I can definitely see what you’re getting at in this vlog. I have a habit of making myself out to be a villain and the friends that see through that and make the effort to see who I am are always the friends that mean the most to me. Chances are, even if I have a falling out with them I won’t betray their trust and they will always have a place in my heart.

  8. Dina says on 3/17/08 at 4:37 pm:

    I have a Gemini Sun and nope, can’t remember standing up for anything. But I am really scared that I won’t, when the witch comes along, when someone threatens my ideals, I won’t sacrifice myself. That bugs me. I’ve failed in the past.

  9. Dina says on 3/17/08 at 4:39 pm:

    Plus, about Plutonian things/stuff uncomfortable to talk about. The essay on death I sent you that my classmate wrote was probably prompted by a comment my nonfiction teacher made in class. She asked us how many of us had imagined the moment of their death. Most of the class raised their hand. She said she can’t picture someone never having thought about it, yet in her class of graduate students, almost no one raised their hands. She thinks it’s something so human to think about the moment of death that she can’t picture people not doing it. To me, it seemed like she was putting positive value about thinking about death. By which I mean, having a clear picture of what your death will probably be like. This made me really mad. Why is it so human to soberly look in the face of your own mortality? I kind of waved so-so at the question because as a fifth grader I had an obsession with death and used to say I felt less like a fifth grader and more like an 80 year old woman on her death bed. I used to be obsessed with cemeteries and cried about how time flies when I got my first watch. But even imagining myself as an old woman, I felt secure to the degree that I knew I was a kid and had a ways to go before being 80, plus the 80 year old woman was kind of like a character in my head, she was separate from me in that way. You can’t be that accurate imagining your future death, so in a way, thinking about it always turns theatrical to a degree. The sense of security is a lot like looking at a stormy sea through a window. You know it can kill you, but you are far away from it. I think it’s much more human to use various mental tricks to repress and deny death. For me, when I was 6 years old, not being able to imagine what I would be like when I was 13 was much more immediate and poignant. Maybe our thoughts of death are more immediate as children, when we first hear about and experience it, after we grow up a little we learn to lick our wounds about it maybe, think about what we have to do during the day, about our future. Death isn’t immediately in front of our eyes. We especially don’t think about it with clarity and honesty. That’s what I think anyway, you probably don’t agree with me. Just thought I would tell you that.

    I love this shirt. Every girl deserves to have some happy clothes like this :) Yay for Gemini!

    I like standing up for the “witch” as well. The pisces/neptune in me feels everyone deserves to be redeemed. No one is hopeless

  11. Elsa says on 3/18/08 at 5:14 am:

    Thanks all. I also wanted to be wearing sunny clothes when talking about being repulsive… and of course give you people something to talk about. ;-)

  12. Lupa says on 3/18/08 at 5:55 am:

    I watched this at work and didn’t have time to respond then. I love the recent comments bit on the sidebar because it reminds me to go back to interesting posts.

    I love that you’re defending Gemini here for one thing and to answer your question, true to my Gemini/Scorpio nature I am equally likely to be the witch or to be her(very vocal)defender.

  13. hitchhiker72 says on 3/18/08 at 7:02 am:

    I’m a Gemini and have a friend with a Pluto-Sun transit at the moment.

    Much as I wanna stick it out, I’m the one in the line of fire, so I wrote her a note (she wasn’t taking calls) saying, I can’t stand here and take the abuse day after day (basically a daily interrogation of my [dis]loyalties) with no right of fair reply. I also said, anytime you want to calm down and talk, I’ll be here, but in the meantime, I’ve got to withdraw for a while.

    I feel awful, because I had Pluto opp Sun a few years ago, and have since apologised to everyone I was repulsive to!

    Awful as it is, I think if there’s a positive side to Plutonian transits, it forces you to face up to your ugly side. What you do with it after that is up to the individual.

    Thanks, as ever, Elsa.

  14. Becca says on 3/18/08 at 7:48 am:

    Painful as it is to admit, I probably would not speak up to defend the witch. I’d be too afraid that the mob would turn on me and I’d be the next one on the stake. So to speak.

  15. Marc says on 3/18/08 at 12:36 pm:

    Though I’m a Scorpio, I’m not inclined to pull out the stinger to defend myself unless things are extreme. My friends (and family), however, are a different matter. If someone is unwise enough to attack them, I don’t hesitate to go in for the kill.

    As for the Plutonian death stuff, American culture is too freaked out by death… When in Mexico City I really loved their Day of the Dead celebrations — they have all these images of the dead enjoying the same things they did in life. For me that’s an approach that I really connect with — that death really isn’t the big deal we make it out to be, just a change of form and the parts that make us who we are keep going.

  16. Elsa says on 3/18/08 at 12:37 pm:

    “- that death really isn’t the big deal we make it out to be, just a change of form and the parts that make us who we are keep going.”

    Marc - That’s a very interesting way of putting it, thank you. :)

    “- that death really isn’t the big deal we make it out to be, just a change of form and the parts that make us who we are keep going.”

    That’s very Pluto/Eighth House/Scorpio, in a way.

  18. seekingzen says on 3/18/08 at 2:23 pm:

    My Mom the Leo would love that shirt. lol

    I’ve got a loaded 8th house… Stellium in Aries. It takes a lot for someone to become one of My People, but once that happens I’m frequently loyal to the point of stupidity.

  19. Molly says on 3/18/08 at 4:26 pm:

    I hung in there for Sadge in Pluto transit, flinging herself against walls, screeching and being repulsive. But the memory of that haunts me.

  20. Elsa says on 3/18/08 at 4:31 pm:

    Okay Molly, now you’re not talking about me, right? Because I don’t remember screeching and flinging. I was more like writing (Mars Mercury) letters to God and stuff like that. :-)

  21. Anna says on 3/18/08 at 5:53 pm:

    I have to say I noticed your shirt too and it looks great. What you said about Scorpios and their loyalty rings very true with me. I’ve been blessed to be surrounded by Scorpios all of my life. It can be difficult to befriend a Scorpio and gain their trust, but when you do, they are with you forever. I have nothing bad to say about Scorpios ever. I’m pretty comfortable around them and I think they get a sense of ease when they’re near me.
    Elsa, ….great story….and your friend is lucky to have you!!
    ;-)

  22. Valkyrie says on 3/18/08 at 8:06 pm:

    I distinctly remember the Pluto transit opposing my ascendent and sun…and that’s just how it was. I felt repulsive and was repulsive. Couldn’t figure out why.

  23. Dina says on 3/19/08 at 2:31 am:

    Yeah, some of my Scorpio friends have been loyal to the point of stupidity. Even when I trampled all over them, it took a while for them to be hurt and retract.

  24. Gem says on 3/19/08 at 6:32 am:

    I have three planets in gemini (sat/moon/ven) and all air/fire in my chart. I tend to be there for friends that need me (behind the scenes) and once they are doing better and are more stable…I flee to freedom. I give a lot: doing overnights at their place, calling daily to check in, stopping by to lend an ear, cooking, errands, etc..but when I am done I am done. I’ve some pluto aspects but when I delve deep it’s in bursts…but if they need me again, I’m there.

    Good thing is most of my friends also have gemini moons even if they are caps or virgos or pisces so they get me.

    I just love being there for my friends as and when I can. It would be a great challenge to be like that all the time. Sorry, no scorpio here, just a pisces asc :)

  25. Molly says on 3/19/08 at 8:28 am:

    maybe gems (speaking here as gem moon), having just gone through the pluto opp themselves, can embrace the full repulsive spectrum. and not bothered by contradictory behavior, being the nutters of the zodiac.
    wondering what shirt you’re wearing today, elsa. my friend’s pluto transit was like an exoricism. and yours, too, through writing…?
    pluto is going to menace my cancer sun soon, so i’ll have lots of repulsivity to report in the years to come.
