The Sun and Venus are conjunct in Cancer - Family! The Moon is in Leo and if you’ve not see Little Miss Sunshine, well 7 year old, Olive has one of the biggest hearts you’ll ever run across. Meet her family…

From the youtube site:

“LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE tells the story of the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families ever seen on motion picture screens. Together, the motley six-member family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams.”

Eventually Billy’s friends stumbled in and Billy was visibly encouraged. He was falling down hard and apparently he thought things would turnaround at this point. Back in control, he stood up and gallantly offered me his hand. I stood and he escorted me, swishing of course, to the back of the venue to meet his friends.

Oh brother.

Shock!

Horror!

This was NOT a group of people you dress for.

Billy’s friends were disgusting and that did it. All the sudden I was pissed off. I knew it wasn’t justified, but what’s that got to do with anything?

Not only was I pissed, I started to pout too. Poor Billy. Let’s see here.

The Convergence

In the car I looked over at Billy.  He was smiling and I wondered if he were a pure fool. Did he actually think he was going to pull this off? I wanted to laugh but instead I winked at him to stuff a chuckle and then smiled and touched my tongue to the corner of my bottom lip to hot him up.

He smiled his appreciation and laughed, thank God because I laughed with him and I sorely needed the release. I thought about Allen Funt and Candid Camera as we headed downtown.

Well, it got bad and it got bad fairly immediately. This was no time lapse slo-mo situation where there is initial hope before things deteriorate.

Three Lives

So Billy was Daddy’s Catholic son. Lets call that Life #1. And am I Catholic? Well, no. No I’m not.

Billy’s friends were going to be at the show as well. Their lives revolved around this music and the whole retro scene. The coming of this specific artist was an event that they wouldn’t miss.

It’s really too bad Billy forgot they were all dopers, huh? They were cokeheads, specifically. So was Billy when he was with him - I’d find out eventually and that right there would be life #2.

Daddy and I were both sober in all ways, so Billy was gonna have a big night here, don’t you think?

I was Life #3. Billy’s deal with me was pure Leo Theater. He was the dashing Prince and I was the bauble on his arm. I was testament to his masculinity and his status as “King of The Jungle” and Daddy?

Well Daddy was a Leo as well. Not that there was a fight for the throne going on or anything.

The Set Up

Gemini Hell night was of Billy’s own making. His ego got him in trouble and his planets in Cancer didn’t help when they got all mushy and decided he could make one big happy family. His Sagittarius had a hand as well. He was just a wee tad too optimistic.

There was a concert coming up, rockabilly retro type stuff. Well actually it was that guy who is young and sings like Sinatra whose name I don’t recall. I saw him on “The Tonight Show” some years later and was amused all over again.

No, not Harry Connick Jr. This was someone much more fringe. This was a hip hep cat like Billy and whatever his name, he did this kind of period show. Big band stuff plus some crooning.

Hard to complain with the Moon in Leo conjunct Mars and sextile a stellium of Sun, Venus and Mercury in Gemini and I will  break this down for you:

Leo and Gemini is probably the easiest match in astrology.

The Sun and it’s natural counterpart the Moon are in sextile aspect.

Venus and it’s natural counterpart Mars is in sextile aspect.

The sextile aspect is widely underrated in astrology but if you happen to have one in your chart and you pay attention you will see it is a gift beyond parallel.

Some people will find a way to be miserable today though I have no idea why. Men get along with women, mothers get along with fathers… the best tack today is this: Communicate generously and it at all possible, get some sun.

The Interaction

Why doomed? Well, I may have a Leo Venus, but it’s just a streak in my personality. The meat lies elsewhere. I am an intense piece of work! Venus gets her due. She may have a little fun, promenade around a few times but the rest of me wasn’t going to set up shop with Billy, no way no how.

Not that I was thinking this at the time. I was thinking about how good we looked. Then later, I’d realize he was dating my hair and boy would that piss me off.

So let me tell you something: There are a couple ground rules for dating a Leo / Leo rising man and one of them is that you cannot cut your hair. Unless he has Venus in Aquarius in which case you can cut one side of your hair. Don’t believe me? If you have a Leo man at home, try this:

This is the first story I ever wrote… in 2001. I have written many since and while my writing has probably improved I am going to leave this as is: Vintage Elsa P. Enjoy!

The Collision

When you study Gemini in astrology, invariably you read that Gemini has two lives or is two faced. Two lives? Sounds kind of eerie. What do they mean? Do they live a past life while they live a usual one? Do they live one life and then live another later?

And what about, two faced? It sounds negative and judgmental, so only marginally helpful, unless you’re a non-Gemini out looking for dirt on your Gemini enemy.

The negative stereotypes of the zodiac signs? Only fools subscribe.

‘Yep, I am fixing the house. I have to deal with Mosta not being here. I have got to come to terms with this and this is one of the ways I am doing it. I have to change things. I can’t just leave everything the way it is. How can I? I think this is important so I am doing it. Er, I’m slow but I am moving and I feel pretty good about what I’m doing. I mean there are a lot of feelings of all kinds but I am sure this is right. It is making me feel better.”

“Yeah? That’s good, P.”

“Uh huh. And one of the things I am changing is the bathroom. See, I got that purple when Mosta was a baby. It was just me and her and the purple was perfect,” I said.
