The other night the soldier said he preferred to avoid knowing my secrets, they disturb him. I wrote about that and some others commented they also preferred not to hear other people’s secrets.

Now I can understand because there are some things I don’t want to know anything about, details around my lover’s ex-lover would be an example but a bonafide secret? Man, what could be more tasty than that?

Yeah, I love knowing secrets and I am fortunate as people tell me plenty of them. I just love knowing things I am not supposed to know - Going places I am not supposed to go, etc.

The Moon in Virgo is forms a T-square with Uranus in Pisces and the stellium in Gemini. There is a lot of talk out there, cross-talk specifically which is maddening for many.

Personally, I hate triangulating in relationship preferring to deal one and one and above board so if I tell you to f%%k off today when you try to involve me in gossip, don’t be surprised.

Er… Uranus is involved so I guess I should say, don’t be surprised when you are surprised.

How many feel similar?

Everybody knows how I feel about gossip and in particular, kicking people when they are down:

The Way Of The Culture - You’re Down? Great, Let’s Kick You!

Britney Spears: Pluto In Sagittarius and the Shadow Side Of Publishing

Mr. Blackwell’s 48th Annual Worst-Dressed List - Finally, Some Decorum

satori sent me clip. Craig Ferguson Speaks From The Heart about his alcoholism and his rethinking mocking and making jokes about people in crisis.

I think this trend was a result of Pluto (and Jupiter) in Sagittarius and I hope with all my heart it’s seen it’s heyday.

I saw my daughter tonight… it’s her birthday with the new Moon in Gemini. Talk about Gemini to the nth power… check this:

I brought her yearbook and she cracked it open and pointed to some gal. “I know her! I have been hearing things about her (gossip) but I don’t know if they are true. This person tells me this and this other friend tells me something else and I don’t know who is lying.”

“I see.”

But then she started in about the twins. Her best friends are twins, she used to got to school with them. Apparently some gal she know now claimed to know these girls.

The stellium in Gemini square Uranus, dominates and people are talk, talk, talking.

Lie, lie, lying too most likely, I think it’s kind of funny.

Day like today, one shoe fits most.

If you get through the day without a lie crossing your lips, I’d say you can consider yourself extraordinary.

To be honest, I don’t enjoy that other people ask my opinion much…

joana, I think people don’t ask others opinions because there are so many opinions out there these days! There has been a lot of energy in Sagittarius over these last years and just look at the explosion in publishing (BLOGS)! I think this is going to shift now. People will start to filter what they read. Quality over quantity, they will discriminate!

For example, we had a freak tornado in Colorado yesterday so I check the weather today and there is a big article about how we could all die from weather. If you pay attention, the article states clearly the weather system has moved out into other states but this does not stop them from writing a provocative title. It’s like they are in the news and want to stay there!

Personally, I have given up all gossip since Saturn went into Virgo. I just don’t have the time for that sort of low (no) reward type reading and what I am getting at is this:

Thoughtful people with something of substance to say are coming into style. Flash and trash - uh uh. Give us something useful, dammit! It does not help me to look at Paris Hilton’s clothes.

Are you filtering what you read these days?

The soldier was in Indiana today briefly and he ran into someone who filled him in on the gossip going around the town he moved from which is several states away. The gossip concerns the two of us and I just laughed like hell.

Mercury in Aries = Mercury the winged messenger in an 18 wheel truck.

Do you gossip? 

Pluto’s shift from Sagittarius to Capricorn is sure to bringing new focus and sweeping change. What would you like to see be done like dinner?

Personally, I am sick of gossip and celebrity death and/or weight-watching. I don’t care what these people are doing. Real people are more interesting by far.

I am also sick of looking at everyone’s crotch. For Godsakes put your clothes on. What is it that makes everyone think they have to had a naked picture of themselves on the internet? I’m sick of it! It was something to see in 1980 but with the sea of flesh out there now, you’d get way more attention keeping your clothes on, duh.

Those are my main two - now you go.

Elsa, I am sick of…

Here’s my (most recent) rant on state of publishing, gossip etc. - Jupiter And Pluto Leaving Sagittarius For Capricorn: The Paparazzi, George Clooney, Dead Babies, Cocaine And The Shadow Side

Seems Stephen King has similar feelings on the situation - From Time.com : Q&A - Talking with Stephen King

Here are some quotes:

“You guys are just covering - what do they call it - the scream of the peacock, and you’re missing the whole fox hunt.” Like waterboarding [or] where all the money went that we poured into Iraq. It just seems to disappear. And yet you get this coverage of who’s gonna get custody of Britney’s kids? Whether or not Lindsay drank at her twenty-first birthday party, and all this other shit.”

and

“I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy. We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that’s really entertainment-based. I mean, I know people who can tell you who won the last four seasons on American Idol and they don’t know who their f—— Representatives are.”

Plenty more where that came from -> Stephen King on Time.com

A couple days ago George Clooney spoke about the paparazzi breaking laws and putting celebrities in danger…

“What they’re doing is illegal, its high speed chases and they’re competing with each other. They’re not trying to catch me doing something stupid, they’re trying to create me doing something stupid. You don’t get to break all these laws and then say ‘I’m just doing my job.’ The guys that commit all these crimes are rewarded for it. It creates bounty hunters in a way. “

“I am the son of an anchorman. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s rights. Take your pictures but don’t go 60 mph down a one way street. Don’t cause injury to people who aren’t involved.”
