Pulling this up for my sister because she knows these people…

My parents are both Aquarians. My mother is a double Aquarius and my father is also Aquarius with four planets and his n. node in the sign. That’s a lot of Aquarius!

I wrote this in 2002. HQ wanted this in my book but after much debate, it got cut. It was a story in the middle of a story and while I used to write like this, Saturn came along and forced structure and discipline.

Yesterday the AMF said, “You grew up in a mud house.” He reminds me of this now and then and he’s right. I did grow up in a mud house and certain things have resulted from that. Things his Aquarius Moon can deal with.

Now someone with a Libra Moon or a Leo Moon or a Capricorn Moon may have a very hard time coping with a mud-house-girlfriend, but to an Aquarius Moon it’s sort of an enhancement and it’s nice for me, you can imagine.

Ben is half-white/ half-black, a gay cello player and teacher. We have been very close friends for twenty years. He’s a Scorpio, with an Aquarius rising and an Aries Moon. Here he defends (Saturn) his eccentricity (Uranus).

Ben has taught cello in the local school system for 20 years… barefoot. He plays with various symphony orchestras, same way. Barefoot. I dialed him up one night.

“Hello?”

“How are you, Ben?”

“Okay, Elsa. Except someone called me eccentric, today.”

Aquarius is known to be eccentric. “Yeah?” I asked.

People have been remarking and in some cases complaining about my crooked lipstick for about 20 years which is about how long I have been wearing lipstick. I thought I had this resolved for the most part a few years back. The AMF said I was cured for example and I should no longer be mentioning it on my (other) blog so I thought that was that. But apparently not. Apparently I am still askew because last night the soldier mentioned this.

The soldier this is, who has not got a fashion conscious bone in his body. The soldier who states he has been wearing the same clothes since he was 12 years old and says that he sees no problem with this.

“Yeah, I see you like that sometimes and I laugh about it on my way to work. That’s my, P!” he said brightly.

James Hollis writes in Creating a Life: Finding Your Individual Path:

“If one does not become the eccentric, unique, one-of-a-kind person he or she was meant to be, then a violation of some large purpose of the cosmos has occurred. Individuation is not self-absorption, narcissism or self-interest. On the contrary, individuation is a humbling task to serve what our deepest nature asks of us. For some it will be a path which brings public recognition, for others suffering and public calumny, for others still, private epiphanies never seen by anyone else. Any relationship which prevents or inhibits such a vocation is harmful and regressive.’

Do you agree with him? Where is your Sun?

Dear Teenager,

You’re very smart to have picked up on this pattern at such a young age. And no. I don’t think you are picking the wrong friends. You are choosing the people who will best facilitate your growth, provided you do exactly what you are doing. Examine it, that is.

Now the way it works, what all of us do, is pick people who are living various parts of our natures that are unconscious, or otherwise unexpressed. And I’ll give you an example.

Some years ago, I married a guy who lived in a shack with a $50,000 stereo. He was an obvious “eccentric” and I thought I was very plain and normal.

But wait a minute! Isn’t any woman who marries a Shack Man just a tad eccentric herself? Eureka! What an awakening when I figured this out. All my friends are crazy! Jeez. Might I be crazy too? Duh.

So in your case, you’ve got several things working here. Major parts of your personality that you need to understand, accept and integrate. And I suspect you have limited awareness of them so what I’m going to do is come back tomorrow and outline this for you. I’m just going to turn all the lights on and with your basic nature more fully in your conscious awareness, I have no doubt you will see radical change in your relationship patterns.

To be continued.
