I’m already on the record to say that I think parenting is broken and the problems are not superficial.

This is a broad topic and we have 10 years to talk about as we see the horror unfold which it will.  The last thing I want to do is bite off more than I can chew right now but I do want to broach this and at least start talking about it.

Here is something dense from 2007. Posting it because it’s good for the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio flavored sky. I am deep into my work right now and have to stay in my process so can’t come up with something new…

Ana commented on the Scorpio Energy… vs Pisces Energy blog…

“The Scorpio energy is more like a zero sum game - for one person to gain energy the other has to lose energy. The energy exchanged is equal of course, but one person gets stuck with a negative balance…”

Saturn in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn: The sooner you learn to say no the better!

We’re having a discussion in the Colosseum in regards to my idea that with Saturn in Libra people will put forth an effort to be attractive. “With Saturn in Virgo people learned to better communicate and now they will learn to attract…”

It is a period where the concept of being able to sit on the couch thinking love is going to come knock down your door and sweep you away will fall away. Women will realize the man on a white horse is a fantasy and if they insist on clinging to it, that is all they are going to have.

StephB writes on Saturn Leaves Libra… 7 years:

You mentioned reflecting on what’s happened in the 4th, 5th, and 6th houses (from the natural chart, right?). But would it be more important to reflect on the last three houses that Saturn has transited in our own chart? In other words, are we still climbing the (natural chart) mountain even if Saturn is actually descending on our natal chart?

StephB - no, it doesn’t translate. The quadrants are defined as shown in the diagram. In other words, houses 5, 6 and 7 so not represent a quadrant.

When Saturn leaves Virgo for Libra it crosses the horizon of a natural chart ending it’s transit of the 2nd quadrant and crossing the horizon which is significant. That Pluto has also just crossed an angle intensifies the effect as I’ve mentioned.

Pluto, now in the 4th quadrant is very slow moving and won’t wrap up there until 2065 so there is not much use thinking about it on a personal level but Saturn is a different story. The 28-29 year Saturn cycle can be viewed as a whole but also in 7 year chunks, where each quadrant represents a stage in the process as pictured.

Regarding, Dating Scorpio and my statement that I stay out of an ex-boyfriend’s secret haunts after a break up, XenoVega writes:

“I pity the sucker who lets other people dictate their freedom of movement.”

That’s one way of looking at it but to me it’s like having someone confide in you. Your obligation to keep their confidence extends beyond the end of the relationship. Basically I prefer people don’t regret having known me.

“How do you make a Scorpio…”
Er… you don’t.

Whatever rules your chart, or wherever your Venus is can have some fun with some new ideas on how to spoil yourself, ways to update your look, or ideas for product or technique that might appeal to you. Here are some ideas:

Aries jumps out at me and if I were and Aries I know I would be dressing casually as often as I could, casually or for action. One thing that would cheer up and Aries and put them on the map would be some T’s to go with their yoga pants or jeans that said something fun on them or something interesting. Collecting such T’s is a good hobby for them. That, or finding a tinted moisturizer that worked with their skin to help them race out the door without much to do about it! Or, go out and try on a hundred pairs of jeans until you find the very best one’s that fit perfectly, give you stretch and give you enough room to move as well as show off your butt! When you find them buy two or three pairs! Jeans come in all price points, remember. Try a “boho” look on top of jeans.

It is very rare I can speak freely and I have come to accept this without resentment.  The fact is my mouth is too big.

It reminds me of my first husband who was 6′7″.  He was too tall for many situations and realized at some point he had better duck unless he wanted to smack his head on the tops of doorways, chandeliers, ceiling fans and the like.  Sometimes you have to conform to society rather than expecting society to conform to you and this is just a fact.
