I go back and forth. Mercury cnj Sun either in the 1st house or the 12th, and both square Saturn and Jupiter, and loosely trined by my virgo moon. Sometimes I can be grandiose and sometimes I’m just a mouse with a tiny squeak who really really doesn’t want to be noticed.

I do believe my thinking is solid though. Maybe not entirely rational, or explicable but where it rests is a solid place. I’m just afraid you (the public) won’t think so. So I bluster it or I put it in writing and support support support my point. And then support it a bit more.

Elsa, it’s not brag, just fact! You ARE good at untangling messes.

At least that’s what my people always said “not brag, just fact”. I would say I’m like you in that regard. I am humble and realistic about things I don’t know/can’t do but confident and proud of the things I know I’m good at.

Haha, Great post! It gave me a laugh because it’s just so to the point and I like that. My Mercury is in Cancer in the 3rd house or 4th, depending. For some reason, I am very good at directions. I can find my way out of a maze and love to tell people where things are by driving or subway riding, can name all of the states and their capitals and abbreviations. I used to keep baseball statistic charts. Etc. Etc. As for more abstract stuff, I was always able to make connections between 2 things that didn’t seem quite comparable. And I love playing amateur psychologist. I chalk some of this up to Merc. being closely trined to Uranus, because I’m not sure what else in my chart does this kind of thing!

Elsa I think you are just truthful.
And most of the time. like 98% of the time, truth is uncomfortable and some people get offended or pissed off.
Anyway, all I am saying is, I was a little uncomfortable when I read your last blog…But it is only because it’s true.
I am all for learning about the other person, in a way so I can manuver him better (ha), and it is all about control.
Bottom line is, I just want to be happy in my relationship, get what i want, WHILE doing what I can to make the apple in my eyes happy and feel the love that I feel for them. I want to speak their love language.
That said, I am very grateful for your honesty because without your pointing that out, I would forget to check in with myself and turn my goal of having a fulfilling and loving relationship of better relating into a game of mind games and power struggles.

Have a happy new year Elsa! Thank you for doing what you do every day. I have been a faithful reader and I just want you to know that you have help me so much in my path of trying to come to terms with who I am and thus becoming a better person.
Thank you.

gloria, don’t feel bad! I am telling you that about 80% of what is searched for re: astrology is exactly what I said. “How do I get my Pisces boyfriend to do…”

And this is a terrible waste of astrology. I mean it’s fine if you intention is to get nowhere. But Pluto is in Capricorn now and people are becoming aware they have ambitions.

“I mean it’s fine if your intention is to get nowhere.” LOL

Thanks for laugh!

Happy New Year!

(((Elsa)))

False humility is just that — false. It’s a good thing that you’ve got a firm sense of who and what you are. If anything, you sell yourself short. Keep on doing what is right for you, P.

I agree with Marc, false humility the same than false pride are just false. And truthfulness is a high expression of true humility, because it puts the truth above our personal concerns. When you speak just what people want to hear, you get a lot of friends, when you speak the truth you keep only the good ones Sure, we can only speak as far as we can see, so none of our thoughts will reflect the absolute truth -because we cannot see it- but even a candle is good enough to lighten a dark room and prevent us from stumbling around, right?
Much more a sparkling fountain of truth like this blog - thank you so much Elsa for creating and preserving this wonderful space, and Happy New Year to all of you!
We at the Pacific Coast are the last ones in the time line, but time is an illusion anyway. That’s at least what scientists say, though I would ask them if they ever waited for a loved one…

Oh Akasally, I forgot beautiful Hawaii is still behind us on time, sorry… it’s good to know there’s always someone younger than myself

Stick to your guns Elsa. I like how you work out what you do and dont do. That you do help untangle peoples lives.

I take Saturn in Virgo as “It is my obligatory duty to…..” or “sorry sorry for being picky but….here is some pedantic stuff anyways”

Perhaps the humble disclaimer? “for what you are about to read here may you truly be thankful for”;

otherwise “There are no guarantees in life or on this website either” “enter at your own risk as we cannot be responsible for the actions you may take in your life.”

sorry sometimes I get off the track, in my line of work I am always writing court reports which begin with “In my opinion” or “In my view” etc etc

but humble? wtf

k

Extremely confident in my thinking and ideas … but … only in my areas of expertise, which are limited to about five major (some of them very narrow) areas. Astrology, Vedic astrology, psychology, social policy, politics, spiritual awakening and a couple others …

My Merc. is part of a fixed T-square.

But personally, I think I am humble as a person overall. Is that even possible with a Leo moon? I say, yes it is, but only if you have been shot down to nothing and then had a spiritual awakening so that you realize how UNimportant anyones own personal ego is, especially one’s own.

But I am humble for the most part, honestly, that Pisces rising is going to be humble at the heart. However, some woman in an MMORG game (Everquest 2, we were communicating on head phones, I was playing my ‘coercer,’ lol) this chick actually called me a “stuck-up bitch” and called me this right before she dropped out of the group … this happened just the other day! Thing is, I am generally so unimpressed with myself as a person that I actually considered her words to be a compliment, lol.
