One More Nod At The Weekend’s Overload Of Aries (Mars) Energy: Do You Take Your Loved Ones For Granted?
Astrology in real life
One more blog regarding the massive dose of Aries energy over the weekend. The soldier has to maneuver his truck into this extremely difficult position to unload all that steel. It required him to circle the block in a neighborhood not meant to accommodate trucks on it’s narrow streets.
Making the turns are challenge in these conditions, perhaps you have seen a truck struggling and impatient people in cars (who do not understand physics) will wing around the truck oblivious to the idea the truck is trying very hard not to turn over and kill them with it’s 60,000 pound load. So this is what happened on the first right turn and it was harrowing.
“What’s that sound?” I asked.
“That’s the trailer wanting to turn over,” he said.
If the trailer turns over there is a good chance you die. It’s too much weight - the body can’t take it.
Once around the corner, he had to back the truck down a long block before coaxing it into this ridiculous opening. I mentioned this in an earlier blog, it was early evening and kids were playing in the street. Parents were out but you sure notice this stuff - no one wants to run over someone’s kid. Halfway down the block, a truck came racing down the street which meant it was coming head on into the backing truck and fast.
“What’s that guy doing?” I asked.
“I don’t know but whatever he’s doing, he’s not going to be able to do it until I get this truck parked.” And this was clear because the truck is just too big and impossible to get around. The street was a dead end, the guy would have had to be within a few houses of home.”
“I guess he either walks home or waits,” I said as the truck raced to the front of the truck, lights blazing and then stopped way too close. “He seems aggressive.”
“Doesn’t matter, he’s waiting.”
I stared into the truck. It was dusk and I could see the guy somewhat. He pulled over apparently deciding to wait and I wondered how long he’d be patient. Would he get out of his truck and tell the soldier to… who knows what? It seemed tense to me and I noted he deals with this all the time.
It took just a few minutes and the soldier had the truck where it goes. It was impressive. I guess they make you learn to back these trucks with an inch of clearance on both sides but to see it done, it really is a marvel. Turns out the guy in the truck was running the job.
Later I told the soldier, “That’s his steel. That’s why that guy rushed up like that. It’s his stuff on the truck, he paid for it, he’s waiting for it and he’s there to claim it, make sure nothing happens to it. I bet the men on site called him when they saw the truck to come down and monitor., Can’t blame him. That’s an expensive load, I would say.”
“That it is.”
“Well it’s all manly, I said. It’s interesting to me.”
He just laughed.
I watched them swinging those beams around the next day and it sure looked hazardous. Once unloaded we went to reload and I was walking across the top of a load with no solid footing. There were ladders stacked on top and we had a thick tarp over them which meant I could not see where I was stepping. This meant when I put my foot down it could be on a ladder rung or rail, but more likely I would step in between the rungs and feel my foot fall about 12″. It’s is ridiculously easy to fall off a load, especially when tossing around a tarp that weighs 110 pounds. You fling the thing and go right over the edge with it.
Once the work was done, I told the soldier, “I am really glad you’ve not been killed doing this.’
He stared at me a minute and then laughed.
“What? Is that a weird thing to say?”
“Yeah, it’s a sort of weird thing to say. But I am glad you can see this is hard work, it’s dangerous and I am glad you don’t take me for granted.”
Well aware how easily people die, I answered that with a glance and an eyebrow raised then decided to tell him, “It’s a miracle every day you survive and we both know it.”
He didn’t argue.
Do you take your loved ones for granted?

I don’t think I do but one can’t be to reckless by thinking ‘no,I never do that.’ it’s good to be conscious. When my SO had his accident we never thought he’d survive. I’m glad he did. He still does crazy things on his bike and ends up with bruises on his body and scrapes all over. i can’t control him, so i just beg him to be gentle with himself and spare me the details.
What a great question! No, I do not take my loved ones for granted. But lately and maybe it is all of the Mars, i am maintaing a patient exterior, but inside i can hear myself and i feel like asking ‘why the fuck are you doing that? ironically when people ask me why are you doing that i feel like saying ‘ because i fucking want too!’ but instead i say well it is something that i have wanted to do for a long time and now i can.
it’s bizarre i feel so fortunate and blessed to have all of these wonderful people in my life, and i count my blessings and am so thankful that they are there, but at the same time right now I am needing some time out, time to myself, personal space, and silence.
is anyone else feeling like this???
What an sticky-icky-mondo weekend this has been for me re: the mother and sister. The worst ever with my sister, and that is saying a whole lot! Taking her for granted would be impossible because the two of us fight all of the time. It has been worse in the past 7 years (my only sibling). Taking my mother for granted would also be impossible as she is entirely too demanding for that.
Spinner, LOL, I just read that. You must be like, 80 percent Libra to stifle all that hehe.
Speaking of Mars - check these two:

the man grabbed a plate of hotdogs from the woman so she stabbed him with a steak knife which prompted him to pull a gun and hold it to her head…
PHHHFT! Is that shit for real? Aye! Spinner I totally hear you. Lately when people ask me ‘what I’m going to do’ or ‘what’s your goal’ when I tell them I’m in art school i just say ‘Nothing. No purpose!’
Same with the writing. ‘What’s your book about?’ “I don’t know.’
Explaining certain things just feels torturous some days.
Thanks Loonsounds!- I have Mercury and Venus in Libra
geeez! that must have been one hell of a hot dog!
Of course I am guilty of taking loved ones for granted from time to time, unwittingly, mostly, but I don’t take truckers for granted! My folks have a trucking company and I know what it is to haul ass to make sure your refrigerated load doesn’t spoil after the cooler breaks down 300 miles out in the summer, and I constantly see drivers not giving the leeway they should. I’d like to see something like Trucking Awareness Week in high schools so they know how to share the road without endangering the truckers or themselves.
Yay to spinner for keeping your cool! I did feel like that for about a month and a half, just grabbing every precious moment alone that I could to work on my own stuff, back in January/February/early March when there was so much going on in my 12th house. Are you having similar action in your chart? Fortunately, I didn’t have anyone around me to question what I was doing - now, all I’m getting is, “Where the hell have you been???”
not any more. I used to but now those I love are precious to me and I don’t forget that.
no. but i’m awful at calling people.
Thanks Avery- this kind of mood is usually fleeting, but it kind of slaps me on the face and says you best pay attention to how your feeling and make sure you don’t torch a bridge.
This also reminds me of a family joke. I am so saftey conscious and there is my dad lighting a small wood stove with a blow torch and I said to him, ‘Don’t blow yourself up’ Now this phrase is often repeated.
When hubby worked at the jail there was a man awaiting trial for stabbing his brother to death during a fight about who was going to do the dishes.
Interestingly enough, it was members of the same extended family that helped torture Megan Williams.
