Saturn in Libra: Judging Your Relationships, and Cannibalism ::wink:: By satori
“What at first seemed sexy and progressive now struck him as vulgar and insecure.”
–John Irving, Last Night in Twisted River
Much has been said
about Saturn’s move into Libra and solidifying one’s relationships. I’m starting to look at the people in my life and decide whether or not they’re worth it. Is that harsh? It is, but it feels necessary. I sure don’t have unlimited resources, financial or emotional, and I’m feeling the crunch. I’m circling the wagons, figuring out who to keep in my lifeboat.

Transits and Aspects: Lemons and Lemon Products by satori
“We are standing on a whale fishing for minnows.”
–Joseph Campbell
My teenaged son’s best friend was hit by a car yesterday. Again. It was the fourth time. He’s relatively fine and the driver had insurance which will cover his hospital bill. Four times really is amazing, though. This last time happened near the entrance to the grocery store, the same grocery store where he was recently mugged. My son told me he was right there when some guy punched his friend and took the friend’s gallon of milk.

Open Question: Can Scorpio / Plutonian Intense Relationships Last Or Do They Die By Their Nature?
Ask the collective
Dear Elsa,
I am wondering about relationships where there a lot of Pluto aspects at work, deep intense crazy connections, that seem to be rearranging your inner organs, can they last?
What I mean is, if Pluto is transforming and obsessive, and related to death and rebirth, is it the kind of thing a relationship can have a lot of and survive? Is there sort of a built in time frame, a transformational process that naturally ends, or does it just keep working on you endlessly?

Love and Money: Venus in the 8th House - Astrology-Based Advice
Dear Elsa,
I have been dating a man for four years now. He has been very supportive of me emotionally at a time when I especially needed someone to make me feel loved and accepted. He is very focused on me, watching me all the time and telling me he wants to take care of me. He sometimes complains that my mood is not what is called for; i.e., I am not romantic enough or focused enough on him. His ultimate ambition is a successful relationship with his woman.
I’ve had the experience of a long-term relationship with a man who was emotionally distant and I was miserable, so I know the value of finding a man who wants to be emotionally close. The problem is finances. He has a good job, but he never has really aspired to anything more than just a job. He also has a lot of debt from his first marriage. I’ve worked hard to gain a post-graduate degree and have taken some risks that have enabled me to make more money.
One of my priorities in a marriage is that we be able to attain an above average standard of living. I fear that I would be settling for something less than that if I were to marry this man. And yet, I know that money does not make happiness.
We are both in our forties and he is a Libra. What do you think?
Unsure
Dear Unsure,
I think I can make this very simple for you, so I’m going to do that first and then I’m going to make this hard. Here is the simple solution: Leave him! Could you do it? I’m guessin’ you’d be cryin’ for this guy within a week and crying even harder six months down the road.

Neptune / Pisces Pining Over a Lost Lover - Does It Fuel Art? POLL
Ask the collective…
With the stellium in Pisces, I thought this deserved a 2nd run. From 2007…
I had a question yesterday I couldn’t use for the blog because rather than “advice” the gal wanted a specific opinion. She explained her situation and then asked:
“Should I pine or move on?”
Although her question didn’t fit the format of the blog, I did email her back my opinion which is this: I don’t believe in pining! If I want more, I go back and get it and if I’ve had enough I move on. I would equate pining with purgatory. But then I got to thinking about it.

Commitment Phobic In Her 40’s: What Now? Astrology-Based Advice
(note - Originally published, November, 2006)
Elsa,
I feel like I’m in the midst of yet another transition or maybe still transitioning, having not yet found my place in the world, not yet found my love/life partner in this world, not yet found my livelihood in this world and desperate for all (and secretly wishing they are all intertwined with each other). It’s not for lack of opportunity or interested companions -I’ve had & have numerous wonderful men profess their love & desire to be married or build a life together. Ok, so maybe I’m a commitment-phobe aka having to have everything right & perfect before I can completely trust and commit.
Where is this ridiculous fear coming from? I know… it’s coming from me. I suppose the real question is, how do I bust it?…will I bust it?…so I might fully engage in life like I know is possible!!
Many thanks Elsa for your insight!!
Looking For My Captain’s Hat
Dear Hat,
I have no idea what your signature means but I left it intact for others to puzzle over while I try to crack your problem, which I feel is far more common than the people realize or care to admit. And the cause, and the specifics from person to person are endlessly varied. But what you have in common is this: You have cracked 40 years old and you are alone. And I’ll tell you exactly why I think this is.

Two Timing Boyfriend Marrying The Other Woman He Hid For 18 Months: Astrology Based Advice
Dear Elsa,
I have been dating someone for the past year and half, only to find out through a mutual friend that this person has been in a relationship with someone else for the same amount of time. He has actually been living with her for the past year and half and will be marrying her this coming September. Of course I cannot describe the pain and disappointment, especially since I was totally open with him about everything and he made me a promise that he was honest as well. I was devastated to find out he didn’t even have the guts to tell me that he was getting married but that he would continue to see me while he was making plans to get married.
What I cannot seem to get over is why. Why would someone want to hurt someone else who showed them nothing but love and respect? Why play with other people’s feelings and why think its ok to do such a thing? How do Ii move on from the “why”? It’s not even that he is getting married, I have come to terms with that. It is the “why” that I cannot get over. Thanks.

Dear Betrayed,
With your Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter, you value truth and look for meaning in your experiences. Your Sun in Taurus indicates your self esteem would be intact even after suffering something of this magnitude, so you are acting in complete accord with your chart… which is always a good sign.
As to the “why” he did this, there are probably an endless number of reasons or explanations but I will give you mine and it’s very simple: people are individuals.
People set their own standards for their behavior and if they put their mind to it they can justify anything. A person like you can get lost trying to understand or comprehend how a person might act in such a low-minded way. But when you do this, you are actually being very narrow-minded yourself and if you open your mind (a Sagittarius forte), I think you can resolve this pretty readily.
For example, there are sociopaths in society. Sociopaths have no feelings, they have no remorse and you will be waiting a long time (until hell freezes over) waiting for a change of heart when there is no heart. It is really is this simple, especially for someone like you… a natural storyteller. Just tell yourself a new (true) story:
“I feel in with a sociopath and got my ass handed to me. Egads, what an experience. Pity the other woman - Thank God I got out of that alive - Whew!”
Good luck.
