That last that went live was a draft. ::blush::

Today one of the soldier’s aunts called to inform him that she is not dead.

“I’m not deaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!” she said like a wail, her voice heavily accented. “I’m not dead and I would like to meet, Elsa before I am so you call me, you call me right now.”

That right there is my kind of woman!

Some moons ago the soldier was going regarding his perspective on our relationship. He stated if we did not manage to get together at this time, he was sure we’d just be thrown (by the universe) into the same old folks home where we would meet again.  And if we messed that up, the next life and so forth.

Last night:

“Well we got together so I guess you won’t see me in the old folks home and be able to say I told you so, P.”"Oh, I’ll see you in the old folks home,” he said. “We’ll be in there except they will probably kick you out.”

We both laughed.  ”Because I’m mean?”

“Yeah.  Because you’re mean.  And I’ll be saying, bring her back, bring her back!”

I snorted.

“Yeah, you get her back in here. She’s okay.  She’s a really nice person, she just gets a little fussy sometimes,” he said.

“Good thing you’re without a flaw.  Good, good thing.”

“Yes, my self esteem is so good even I can’t damage it.”

Dear Elsa,

There is a woman who just got “freed” from her dad in Austria. She was abducted on the first day Pluto made its second entry into Scorpio in 1984. So she was in the family cellar for all of Pluto in Scorpio, and all of Pluto in Sagittarius.

What do you think is this woman’s purpose, or what’s the message with her getting out just when Pluto goes into Capricorn.

Curious

I think it speaks to the shadow side (Pluto) of the father (Saturn) in the plainest way possible.”

Anyone else?

Dina writes on Blows The Attraction Theory All To Hell:

You’re not intellectual, Elsa? You seem pretty smart/wise to me!

Dina, thank you but I am telling you I am least developed on the intellectual level and one of the points Claire-France made.  She explained that I had developed this function to the extent I have via writing which caused people to come along, read my writing and then mistake me as some kind of intellectual!

So I put my writing on the Internet and next thing you know, people like HQ are writing me thinking I must be some kind of brilliant and when they encounter reality the next question sounds like this:

“What are you, some kind of idiot savant?”

Venus has left Aries, the sign of it’s detriment to land in it’s home sign, Taurus. This should dramatically reduce conflict  especially since Venus forms a Grand Trine in Earth with Saturn in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn.

Lovers (Venus) who are deeply (Pluto) committed (Saturn) will be particualarly soothed but anyone can access this energy.

For example a deep (Pluto) tissue (Saturn) massage from a woman (Venus) would be heaven on earth on a day like today.

Working (Saturn) to create something beautiful (Taurus / Venus) would also get you into the trine. Pluto would pull it’s strings on a subconcuous level.

Taking responsibility (Saturn) for your patterns (Pluto) in relationship (Venus) is yet another way and you get the idea.

There is other jarring crap out there and some depression but you know me - if there is a day off on offer, it’s always a good idea to take it expecially in this current climate.

Dear Love,

You do not sound moody or irrational to me and while feelings are transient and do change, I don’t think they should ever be ignored.

Now unfortunately I can’t tell you precisely what is going on with you and this man but it sounds as if you are feeling some trepidation and perhaps what you’ve got here is a red flag? Perhaps as the real life meeting draws near, what is revealing is you are not as compatible with this man as you once thought. And there is no way I can tell you this for sure but I can tell you this much:

If it is a red flag, you are bound to see more of them so if this starts to happen I would absolutely pay attention because a man who goes “beyond your comfort level” is just that. He is a man who goes beyond a woman’s comfort level and when you are with a man like that, as far as I am concerned you are in danger.

I would also add if it is him who is telling you that you are “moody and irrational” I would certainly begin to rethink this if I were you.

Good luck.

To put things in perspective…

The soldier needs a barber of course so we used the usual method to find one, we drove to Ace Hardware to ask someone in there where a barber could be found. We got a good tip from a cop who was shopping there and headed over to find the shop closed on Monday. This morning we went back.

It was a glorious barber shop - it has all the trappings. A barber up front named, Enrique, some vintage posters of men’s hair cuts on the walls, a display or vintage blades and scissors and lots and lots of military and/or sports banner hanging down.

Speaking as a supposed “young soul” I can say for sure that I feel incredibly lightweight next to the soldier.  I think it is obvious I am not a shallow person but I am just not steeped in history the way he seems to be.

It’s like going to a young city vs and old one - there is nothing the young city can do to masquerade as something it is not.

And this comes up between us all the time. Couple times a week. It is not the most comfortable thing for me, being veneer but there is nothing I can do. It is not as if I can catch up.

Amber writes on Perspective Of A Past Life Soldier:

I think you got a fair share of misery, as a ‘young’ soul- if that’s what you are. I always thought the young ones had it easy (just kindergarten for them, they’re still being looked after).

Well I have no knowledge whatsoever of having a past life or not and in fact the soldier is the only person in my life who I have found credible when talking about having a past life although the concept is reassuring. In his case I have no doubt whatsoever what he says is true. He told me the same (crazy) stuff 30 years ago and his entire life from the time he was a little boy, supports (it damned near proves) his claims.

Some of this stuff is coming up. I have written it at least in outline, I just have too many docs going at the moment! Perhaps Saturn will go direct and I will methodically untangle, you think?

Do you believe in past lives? What about the idea of a young soul having it easy?
