Selkie writes on the What’s The Deal With Scorpio Freezing You Out blog:

“I wasn’t tryin to vilify Scorpios, just balance out what I’d been reading for several months!”

This post was written in 2007 in response the the passionate discussion the original piece provoked. With Saturn in Virgo I felt pressured to make a statement so I did….

On the balance regarding Scorpio, I do favor them probably because by and large they are the only people who can actually stand me.

Ms Scarlett writes on Please Don’t Fix Me:

“…maybe that’s the Libra wanting us to have the balance between the very direct and the dipshit (your words) grin. I bet that grin has saved your butt many times– As in how can I take her head off for saying something like that when she has such a nice smile. I think that’s a gift Elsa.”

Ms Scarlett,  I agree. I think what I do here is dare-devilish and I would not be able to do it  if even one hair on my head was different. I can’t look too good, I can’t look too bad. I can’t be too young, too old or any other thing. I have to be sort of palatable if that makes sense and yes, it is a balance.

Every experience I have ever had also contributes to the production of this blog. I can tell you for sure I am firing on all cylinders when I write here which is something I am grateful to be able to do. I am constantly challenged and constantly stepping up to meet the challenge and I mean this occurs on a daily basis.

Although I do not have an easy time here, there is nothing about this blog that is a grind and I am grateful for that.  I recognize myself as someone who wants to push against resistance.

Do you enjoy challenge? Where is your Mars?

Liz asks:

“Is it a good thing to date people who have similar charts to yourself? I’m a late Libra rising and I’ve dated another Libra rising and am communicating with a Scorpio rising. Or is it better to look to people who are opposite rising?”

Given a choice, I would go for the person with energy opposite mine but I have Libra so would be looking for balance.

Anyone else?

“Someone told me once that in every relationship one person loves the other person more than they are loved and whoever loves the other person less winds up leaving. Do you think that’s true, P?”

“No, I don’t think that’s true. It’s true in some cases but definitely not true in all. There is such a thing as two people who are equally committed and devoted to each other and the relationship. You do see this in the world.”

Speaking of Moon Venus in Libra, I was talking to my friend and astrologer, cf Perez yesterday and she got my attention when she made a statement about inequity in relationships.

She said that when one person in a relationship gave far more than the other, the person who was indebted filled in with anger. I was stunned with this simple observation which I think is entirely correct.

For example, take the alcoholic / codependent relationship. The codependent gives and gives and does the alcoholic appreciate it? Hell no! They grow to loathe the person doing the care taking. The more they receive (that they will never be able to reciprocate) the angrier they get. The more you give, the more they hate you and I’d say this makes a compelling argument against giving too much.

Have you ever been part of a relationship out of whack like this? How did it wind up?
