More On Vid’s Friend, The Quirky Aquarian… How We Handle This Around Here And…
Astrology in real life
Last weekend, Vidroid came home from his Dad’s...
“How’d it go?” I asked.
“Quirky Aquarian was supposed to come over and spend the night on Friday but then he didn’t come.”
“Dang. Went quirky on you again, huh?” I asked.
Vid shook his head, yes. He didn’t look too sad though. We are all very used to this.
“I know what happened,” the soldier said brightly. “It was Clucky (the dog). Clucky called him up and told him…”
We all started laughing and I thought I ought to post this.
It is easy to handle things like this if you keep a sense of humor and detach. Detach. That is what you are supposed to learn from Aquarius anyway.

Christmas Lights Still Up In May: What Do You Make Of That? And Witch Hunts? What Do You Make Of Those?
Astrology in real life
I’m back with a story related to the Lights Out Pluto Moon blog. Some years ago I was driving around with a man, it was about this time of year and we were parked on a neighborhood street to drop my daughter at a friend’s house and he noticed a house that still had Christmas lights up.
“Look at that,” he said. “Talk about lazy. They’ve got Christmas lights up and it’s almost May.
I looked at the house I just didn’t see what he did.

I Hate When I Have To Find A New Quirk - Aquarians Can Relate
Astrology in real life
“I want you to say goodbye to my yellow purse,” I told the soldier last time I saw him. “This is going. You won’t see it again.”
“Ah, P, do you have to?”
“I do. I am tired of this. I like a yellow purse but I am sick of it now.”
“I think you should have a yellow purse AND yellow pants.”
“Well you don’t get to think about this. I am sorry but I am not having this purse any more and I figure you liked it so I wanted to warn you…”
Today I went shopping and there are big yellow purses EVERYWHERE. I have had mine for 2 years - I hate when I have to find a new quirk and I know you Aquarians can relate. My mother (double Aquarius) used to be entirely frustrated when people started doing what she was doing but if you go far enough out there, then you can be safe for a good number of years.
As an example, there is the Aquarian in the gym who wears a dish towel on his head. So far that guy is safe. ![]()

Aquarius And Pisces - An Interesting Combo With Endless Possibilities
Astrology in real life
Venus tied up with Neptune, other planets in Aquarius as well as the Sun conjunct Uranus in Pisces favor escape through music, imagination and art, that’s the Pisces/Neptune side. Uranus/Aquarius begs for surprise and innovation and you get stuff like this:
“I’d like to learn that,” the soldier said pointing at the TV. “I’d like to learn to ballroom dance, we should take some lessons.”
“Really? I’ll take lessons with you.”
“You will? Okay! First we’ll take lessons and learn to ballroom dance and then I would like to actually go to a ballllll,” he said. “I want to go to a real ball and dance at it.”
I snorted. “Where are we going to find a ball?”
“I don’t know. I guess someone will have to throw one and we’ll have to be invited.”
I didn’t answer because I know us. If we learn to ballroom dance we will find ourselves a ball one way or the other.
I think that preparing for the life you want goes a long way towards manifesting it. You?

Are You A Lesbian? We Want To Know Because We’re Looking For One Around Here…
Astrology in real life
A couple days ago my friend, satori who is a Pisces told me that she connected me to the mundane world. “I connect you to the mundane and everyone else who is mundane, I connect to the other,” she said, and I laughed. I think it’s pretty funny when you have to get a Pisces to ground you; however she is not the first.
My sister is the first Pisces who attempted to connect me with the mundane. I say attempted because I am pretty sure she would tell you she failed and I was thinking about this today. I recalled something I wrote awhile back and meant to pull it up and post it but this came out instead…
My sister loves high level shopping (think Posh Spice) but she is stuck with a sister who could care less. Back when, it was big talk in her circles. No one could believe she had a sister who oblivious to clothing and makeup.
At one point, when I was about 30 she grilled me wanting to know if I was a lesbian. Apparently this was a theory amongst her and her friends. It was the best explanation they could come up I guess. I am not a clotheshorse, therefore I am a lesbian!

Gay Aquarian In Love With Elusive Man: Astrology-Based Advice
Dear Elsa,
I am a gay man and met a guy in Feb this year. A few weeks later, he told me he could not have a relationship with me as he had found out his mother could be dying of cancer. Therefore he could not be happy whilst his and his family’s world was falling apart. I was devastated as I had already fallen in love with him.
Over the last few months we have stayed in touch and I have found out he has been seeing other guys, which has been really upsetting. I confronted him as to why he is seeing others when we could be together. He basically said he didn’t want a relationship with me or anyone at the moment and denied sleeping with anyone. At one point in May he decided that he wanted us to try again. I was happy with this but very soon he closed up again and said no.
I have been patient yet hurting all the time. In October his mother sadly passed away. I saw him and tried to support him although I still know he is busy dating other guys. I have tried walking away but cant. I’m still in love with him. For some reason he wont walk away either.
Is there any hope for us?
Aquarian

Dear Aquarian,
No, I don’t think there is any hope of changing the dynamic of this relationship and it suits you perfectly as is, whether you realize this or not.
As an Aquarian with Venus in Aquarius you want a lot of space and with this man, you get it. You also have your Moon and Mars in Aries so you like the challenge he provides. He must be perennially hunted, see? But most of all it’s the pining.
You have Venus square Neptune and there is a part of you that is addicted to pining for this un-gettable man but check this:
If you get him… if you actually get this guy and nail him down I guarantee you the situation will flip on you. Instead of where you are now, you will be pining for freedom and challenge. Pretty trippy, huh?
I admit that living in this hall of mirrors with various drives conflicting is a job. However it is your job and at least you’re not bored or boring.
Good luck.

Aquarius Man In The Middle Of Divorce Hooks Up With Older Cancer Woman As Friends Look On: Astrology-Based Advice
Hi Elsa,
I’m going through a divorce by my choice. I wasn’t looking to meet anyone until everything was all said and done and I could truly be available to someone. But as it turns out, for the first time a woman pursued me. She’s 12 years older. She’s everything I’d ever want in a woman and she says the same about me. I’ve only known her a month and we’ve been seeing each other intensely for two weeks.
This is my second divorce. I recognize my mistakes and have been very focused on growing mentally, as well as changing unhealthy behavior. I had committed to myself and friends that I would date around before getting involved in another relationship and now I find myself not seeing a need to do that. How do I know if I’m getting involved too fast?
Everything to me and my new love are great, but my friends (who have not met her yet) are worried I’m falling too quick.
We both want to do what feels good and healthy and not worry about what is “too fast”.
Divorcing Man

Dear Divorcing,
It sounds as if you have moved fast but I can’t see the value in judging it or worrying about it seeing as you are already in up to your neck. And with Venus in Aquarius, your chart does indicate love and attraction comes fast and unexpectedly so what the hell. It is what it is. You are here now so I wouldn’t waste time looking over my shoulder, I would however look forward.
You say she is everything you want and vice versa. I believe you, so I would advise you to continue to work on yourself and the things that dog you. Whatever personality traits that have got you in trouble in the past, get on them and stay on them and one more thing.
You are going to have to talk to your friends or they are going to do this poor gal in. In trying to protect us, our friends can be very foolish at times and it sounds as if they have copped an attitude towards the new woman. It’s up to you to set them straight.
Ask them to lose their pre-conceived notions about the speed… her age or whatever else might be bothering them and give this woman a fair shake. Tell them she is making you happy and ask they respect this and her for it. It is up to you to set the tone here, otherwise I do think she’s going to be a lamb headed for slaughter and there is nothing fair about that.
Good luck.

Aquarius Woman In (Sort Of) Sexless Marriage To Aries Man: Astrology-Based Advice
Dear Elsa
I am the typical Aquarian woman and my husband the typical Aries. We have been together 5 years but only got married this year. We love each other very much and I can’t imagine myself being with anybody else. But alas, we have a problem that I just can’t seem to fix.
In the beginning of our relationship our sex life was great. Then one day he just could not perform. Me being the typical Aquarian couldn’t care much, but I know that it must have hurt his pride deeply. Later we would try to do it but he would not be able to and we would end up with him crying and with me trying to support him and also crying because I love him and don’t want to see him like that.
It got worse - we had a lot of financial worries and other problems and everything seemed to just get worse. It went on for about a year with us not having sex and I even asked if it was me turning him off, maybe I was too fat (you know how woman are) and if he was seeing someone else. I just couldn’t believe he didn’t want to have sex anymore or even try to make things better.
Then one night I came home and found him with another woman in our house. You don’t even want to know how I felt. Here I was supporting him, worrying about him doing all I can and in the mean time he was doing someone else. I couldn’t understand how he could be so selfish, so arrogant, so irresponsible. How could he have sex with her, but he couldn’t even get it to work with me. To make a long story short. I forgave him, for many reasons I don’t care to go into.
It has been 3 years since then. We moved to another country and financially things are going fine. Our bedroom life has improved, but not to what I want. We still don’t have sex. I can count the times we’ve had sex on my one hand, even though we have oral sex often. I don’t even talk about it with him. Sometimes I feel like if I mention the word sex he tenses up. Lately I have tried reverse psychology but that also doesn’t seem to do wonders.
I am fed up with him not wanting to have sex. I don’t know what to do anymore. And I am tired of feeding his ego and getting nothing. What am I suppose to do, just wait around and hope for him to one day feel like it again? Aren’t Aries suppose to have high sex drives.
Please give me some advice, I’m really frustrated with this situation.
Aquarian

Dear Aquarian,
Your question is enormously interesting because while it seems on the surface this problem is due to your husband, the situation you describe shows up in your chart very distinctly… which means if you leave him you are very likely to find yourself in a similar circumstance one way or the other. Not that there isn’t hope. There is always hope but there is little hope that waiting on him to resolve is going to produce results. Not when it’s in your chart, see.
So here’s the astrology:
You have Mars (sex) in Aquarius (detached, unusual) opposed by Saturn (restriction). And with the opposition it appears it is the fault of the other person but it will always be the fault of the other person. What I mean is that this will set up for you over and over and over until you take responsibility (Saturn) for your sexual health and happiness. And in this case, since he either can’t or won’t get an erection, you be best served to get yourself a dildo and take it to bed with you, with or without him.
Since you can’t see yourself without him, I would say take it to bed with him and tell him, “this is what we’re going to do.” And if this sounds shocking to you, that’s good. If you are afraid to do this, that is also good because it is your authentic energy.
Aquarius shocks and Saturn is scared. Anecdote is to face your fear. The anecdote is to expand rather than restrict. So just think about this with your Aquarian intellect. You show up in bed with a replacement dick… taking responsibility for the lack and what’s he going to do? Something different, right?
I know you’re scared but Mars is a hero, see. So as long as you do nothing you are going to suffer but if you will do something brave and heroic I really don’t think you can go wrong.
Good luck.

Open Question: Double Sagittarius Woman Asks How To Get The Attention Of An Aquarius Man
Ask the collective
How do you get the attention of an Aquarius man? We are just friends with the hope on my side that there will be more. It seems like after some really good conversations, on the phone and via email, I then won’t hear from him for awhile. How can I tell if he is interested in being more than friends?

Her Job As A New York Au Pair Starts In Two Weeks, She’s Waffling: Gemini Sun, Aquarius Moon
Dear Elsa,
I am about to get a BA from a small, liberal arts college in the Midwest. Ultimately I want to work in the social work field with children & families - as a family advocate or a case worker.
I took a position (no contract) as an au pair out in New York state. Lately I’ve been feeling unsure if this is the right choice for me. It’s for 8 months to a year. The family seems nice, but I’m concerned because they have me on sort of a curfew (midnight on weekdays). I know it seems silly, but I’m used to being a fairly independent person at college. Plus, I don’t know if this is going to keep me moving forward on my career goals. I’m supposed to leave to go there in two and a half weeks.
I’ve also applied to a graduate school program for social work, which I was planning on deferring if I got in… I’m basically all sorts of confused and I don’t know how to get any clarity on the subject.

Dear Social
With a stellium in Gemini and Jupiter conjunct your Moon in Aquarius, you really don’t want anyone making rules that impinge upon your right to flit about and roam freely. So I am not surprised you are feeling angsty. And an argument could be made that you ought to grow up and conform; however, I am not the one who is going to make it.
I do think you should grow up - but not by conforming and subverting your nature. Instead, I think you should make your nature even larger by explaining to your employer that you are committed and will do a fantastic job, but you require your time off be yours without restriction.
You might add that you are a responsible person and have no intention of coming in drunk at 4 AM to work at 6 AM… if this is true and I suspect it is. Because you do not sound irresponsible! You just sound as if you’re wigging on a short leash and if they will allow you to be leash-free, you will probably be their dream au pair.
So I would try to communicate this. It is the mature thing to do and if they insist with their rules, you just may have a deal-breaker on your hands. And even in the worst case scenario, you’d have learned something about you.
Good luck.
