Both the soldier and my son, 9 year old, Vidroid are Taurus with ruler Venus in Gemini (two loves). They both have Scorpio as well… this is worrisome.

As of yesterday, Vidroid was committed to Emmy who picked him up a couple days ago. He still sits (in his assigned seat) next to Belle though, with Emmy spying him from across the room according to Vid.

Last night, I asked the soldier, “Do you think Belle will catch on?”  There is only one more day of school.

“I’m betting she won’t and if she doesn’t this will be the best possible scenario for his operation.”

“Why is that?”

“Because then he will get to see both of them all summer. He can talk to both girls,” he said.

“I see.”

“Yeah, and if something happens and it goes south, oh well.  He’s going to a different school next year anyway…”

Some days ago, regarding the fact that Vid has added a year to his age at school for the last year, the soldier said, “He’s doing what he has to do for his operation.”

I laughed. “Don’t have to tell me, I was a 15-year-old bartender. The people in my family, we do what we have to do. We survive, regardless.”

“It’s the only way, P. There is no other way.”

Are you a survivor?
