I think I can throw some light on the current conflict on my blog by telling a story. This is a Saturn opposite Uranus story in that the Establishment meets the Astrologer. If you pay attention you will see the rebellion and the boundaries etc. as well as be provided evidence that what is going on here is hardly new to me…

Once upon a time there was an online entity named, codasaurus. As his name suggests he was was an engineer and if you want to know how I feel about engineers, I like them.

Matter of fact, I have married two of them and I am (basically) about to marry a third so there you go. I have great affinity and attraction to the engineering mind so when codasaurus showed up to flame me after I posted an article the featured astrology on in internet message board, I was intrigued.

The board was concerned with business and apparently codasaurus thought I had some sense on that front so he wondered fairly politely if my brain had gone mush.

I posted him back.

He posted me back.

I posted him back.

He posted me back.

Meantime a crowd gathered. “Never mind him, Elsa… what does my chart say?”

I responded by reading the charts… a slew of them because I just felt like doing this. People were really happy too. The whole thing was turning into a party and codasauras? Well he just couldn’t stand it. If was as if I said “astrology” and the whole board went insane so he just kept coming back. Every couple days he posted some challenge.

Some responded but saying, “Shut the hell up, codasaurus! Read my chart next, Elsa.” But I liked the guy. I really did like him. I have that chemistry see? So I responded politely to explain it was okay with me if he did not like astrology… I was not trying to convince him and in fact could care less what he thought about it.

He came back, still wanted to argue.

I continued to respond politely, telling him or Dennis Elwell’s, Cosmic Loom
which is written for people just like him. I explained it seemed Elwell’s life work to converse about astrology with the scientific minded but I had no such interest…

The thread went on and on and on. There were 3 threads all together but this first one was 400 pages long and codasaurus just could not let it be. He wanted me to debate him even though I made it clear many times over I was not interested in debating him and finally I told him this:

“Just because you don’t like astrology does not mean you can stop a passing-by astrologer and expect them to stop their life and fight with you on this! Just because I like astrology does not mean I care if you like it and by the way as I have told you 100 times now - I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF ASTROLOGY!”

Long story short, it was codasaurus that launched my writing but catch the larger point here. I bet you anything most of you think codasaurus was rude. I think he was rude myself but I also don’t think he is one bit ruder than the people who come to this blog and tell me what think I should write about or how or any other damned thing.

I was a passing-by astrologer then and I am a passing-by astrologer now and the fact I am passing by on the Internet does not require me to be interested in what you are interested in or to write about what you want me to write about or to write in a style you like to read. To think otherwise from my perspective is completely delusional.

For the record, I still have codasauras’s chart. He has an 8th house Cancer Sun conjunct the Vertex… sitting right on my descendant. He has a Scorpio rising and a Pisces Moon. His Mars was where else? Libra!

His Mars was in Libra square his Sun and the guy just kept shooting himself. But I did like him and matter of fact I still do because chemistry is chemistry and not only that, he was the piece of sand that created the pearl. If he’d not come on that thread and raised all kinds of hell, it would have sunk like a rock to fall off the front page and into oblivion.

There is a lesson here on what you call “unintended consequences” because I have written more than 10,000 posts on astrology since.
