I just worked on a chart for the class of a young woman who is infinitely complicated. She’s 19 and I mentioned in the copy that it would be easier when she was older and also pointed out that she used to be a 11 and 5 and a baby and these kids (us… all of us) are born with these charts and some of them are extreme.

In looking for the 10th chart for the class I was staring at the chart of a 4 year old and thinking about this kid carrying this chart up against the wishes, hopes and dreams of his parents. This boggled my mind so I came here to write about something I’ve been incubating for days now.

“I’m thinking,” I told the soldier. “No one wants to hear stories of the nefarious.”

He laughed. “No they don’t, P.”

“I am thinking about my friend who died. I am glad her family doesn’t want to talk to me at this point. I obviously don’t know where the lines go. If it were me, I would want the story, the story is precious. You can’t hear these stories anywhere else in the world and you say people don’t want to hear stories about the nefarious but it’s not true. You can’t say there isn’t an appetite for this stuff because there is. Look at all the cop shows and grisly murder shows… investigations. People watch that stuff  so where is the line? Is it when it is real and there are emotions involved?”

I have been doing a lot of consulting, talking to a lot of people from all over the world. With a packed 8th house, I am sensitive and very interested in the collective and I can’t help but pick up on trends. I have mentioned this stuff before and when it first shows up on the blog, y’all think I am crazy but eventually my ideas become mainstream.

(From 2007) Last night I was talking to a pal who copped to being what she called “game-y” in relationships when she was younger. She described how she manipulated men by coming on strong and then backing off to keep their energy on her. She’d have them obsessing trying to figure out what she was up to and I was completely enthralled listening to her  because I am the polar opposite of this.

I am sorry for the lack of (consistent) new content around here but I guess you all know I am swamped. I am swamped but happy and keeping my head above water behind the scenes.  I am focused on the charts of individuals which does not allow the time and space it takes to be creative or to even assimilate the happenings here over the last 5 days.  I do have an anecdote for you though.

When this wave of people showed up - 50,000 of them en masse, I told HQ and the Mechanic that I thought that when this all calmed down, I would be left with double the traffic I had prior.  I was cautioned to lower my expectations so I’d not be dissatisfied.

What do you do when you are betrayed in a relationship? Do you leave right away or debate it? Do you stay in the relationship, look the other way and ignore it for awhile? Do you confront? Do you set the person up for an equivalent betrayal?

Personally… with Venus square Neptune and a packed 8th house, I erase myself and the person who betrayed me completely. I amputate.

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?

Selkie writes on the Triple Pisces blog, regarding the stereotypes of the various signs…

“…lots of Scorpios are harsh people who actually greatly enjoy judging others (even people they’ve never even met or talked to); insist on playing seemingly inexplicable games with people for years on end; take pleasure in seeing “certain” (or “certain sorts of”) people punished, and in freezing out the “unworthy,” and who are stubborn to the point of harming both themselves and others - even the people closest to them.”

The comment is out of context so check the rest if it offends you but I wanted to address the phenomena of Scorpio freezing people out because it definitely happens and it’s never been addressed on this blog.

A lot of people clicked back to read the year ago post about the 8th house and the shadow today.  They made remarks which prompted me to go back and read it myself. satori does the year ago posts now so I have no idea what is coming up on those but I saw that I wrote for whoever might understand what I was talking about understanding that not might be everyone so I’ve decided to try this again.

I have meant to watch, The Gunfighter
with Gregory Peck for almost 25 years but never got around to it until last night.  The timing was perfect I suppose.

I became interested in seeing the movie in the mid-eighties when Bob Dylan referenced it in his song, Brownsville Girl on the album Knocked Out Loaded. I was captivated with the album in spite of the fact it was almost universally panned and if there is a reason I never actually saw the movie, it would be because Dylan seemed to sum it up so well:
