The grand cross in the mutable signs persists but the Moon is in Aries moving to form a kite (easy aspect) with Venus, Jupiter and Mars which is an enormously improved situation over yesterday.

On some level everyone should get a little something they want so enjoy!

So on that last deal, I had a terrific time getting out of that relationship and believe me, this is not my MO. I am as slippery as they come! I am like Houdini with a jet ski waiting outside, but I couldn’t find a way out of that relationship to save my life, up until the time I did. And I don’t know what to tell you besides, I’ve been happy since and I think I’ve learned my lesson.

Because take a look at the composite of my current relationship. (below) See how pretty that is? See all that GREEEEEN. Those are easy aspects. And you know what? I can’t get out of this relationship either.

“Why would you want out?” the other astrologer asked.

Well, I wouldn’t. I’d have to be an insane person to leave the relationship I’m in now. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have freedom urges. It doesn’t mean I don’t notice when I caught in something, even when it’s good! I am me!

But the point I want to make is that a composite chart like this… or the one with the Grand Cross - my experience is they are very hard to get out of…to escape and you can see why. You can see it visually, I mean! You don’t even need to know astrology.

The chart is a map, yes? It is. And in both these cases, well, just look at them. It’s like a closed system! These configurations…the Grand Cross (red square shape for the newbies) in the one chart is closed. And do you know how that feels?

Well look at all the right angles. It feels like riding the Scrambler. Do you know that ride? It jerks you, then jerks you, then jerks you, then jerks you. You go ’round and ’round then ’round, jerk, jerk, jerk at the angles. And this is fun when you’re sixteen! This if fun when you’re twenty one! But you get a little older and you maybe want to vomit less…and that would be me. I am tired of puking.

So please understand if you show up with your Mars square mine and you want to fight and fight and fight …and if I draw a composite and a Grand Cross is starin’ back at me…well, I’m going to walk. ‘Kay, babe?

And regarding the other chart… well the Grand Trine (green triangle) is closed and so is the Mystic Rectangle (rectangle shape). The Kite (looks like a kite) is also closed and this has the same effect. Wherever you go, there is no door! So when you’re in it, you’re in it, but you just don’t get beat up, the way you do with the hard composite.

So this is my experience. And these are obviously extreme examples, but that’s good. Because they manifest in ways that cannot me missed or misinterpreted.

So what about you? Have you ever been “stuck” in a relationship? Are you stuck now? How does it feel to you?

Because I imagine people less commitment-phobic than me might take great comfort in these type situations. Is this true? Come on people! Help me with my research.

Thank you.
