Mercury in Aries vs Mercury in Libra With Mars Involved: Oppression

Astrology in real life

special forces patch insigniaI was lying on the bed last night wearing a gauzy skirt with a wide (about 5″) band of elastic across my lower stomach. The skirt is meant to be worn high, low whatever and, “See this?” I asked the soldier, patting my stomach through the elastic band.  “I have a little bit of cramps from my period.”

He smiled.

“Yeah and this band of elastic, it feels crushing.” The elastic is actually comfortably body hugging but it did seem this way at the time.  “This skirt is pushing down right on the place that is uncomfortable.  Come to think of it, I am oppressed by this skirt,” I said with a chuckle.  “Hey!  That means you have to help me.  Aren’t you Special Forces guys supposed to liberate the oppressed?”

“Well yeah,” he said.

I roared.  “Well then I guess you’ve no choice but to get this skirt off me - You swore an oath.”

He stared.

“It’s a pretty good line; I am surprised I never thought of it before. Anyone ever tell you that before?  Hey soldier! I am oppressed by my jeans, can you help me?”

“No.”

“Well my God, I am clever.”

    so what sign is the soldier, anyway? (maybe it’s general knowledge, but i’m new!)

    Michele - He is a Taurus with a Scorpio Moon.

    If you read around you will see other details on his chart, some of which will be wrong because last week he came across his actual birth certificate and I have been using the wrong chart for YEEEEEEEEARS.

    And oh yeah - Welcome!:-)

    hmmmm, that’s interesting - i’m a Scorpio with Taurus Moon (Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune all in the 8th house)

    P.S. Loved the whole oppression thing, and LOL, you are VERY clever!

    Okay, Elsa. I have a question for you. You say that you have been using the wrong chart for “YEEEEEEEARS” (LOL) for the Soldier. So I am curious to know if the other chart that you were using for him seemed accurate at all. Does this one seem more accurate, and is it a lot different? I ask because i am wondering if we just make ourselves believe that something fits, because we want it to, or think it should.

    One other question, not directly related: do you place any store in all of the daily, weekly, etc., horoscopes that are a dime a dozen? (even if you have used time of birth?)

    Oh, and -

    P.S. thanks for the welcome! :o)

    Michele - I took your question re: the soldier’s chart to a new blog and re: scopes, I enjoy reading them, I always have. Some people have a real knack so that’s the trick. Finding one of the people who have a real knack. ;)
