Quiet around here… I guess people have their stomachs in their throats, I know I do.

The Pisces Moon is currently conjunct Uranus and emotions are unstable. Worse, later this evening the Moon heads into the Mars Pluto mess and many have a feelings of dread.

It would be a lot simpler if things were deep and still but Uranus acts like some sort of crazy egg beater whipping things up and also preventing a person from being able to attach.

For example, I would write you guys some deeply stirring Pluto Moon bit if only I could lose the frenetic energy part of this equation. As it is I am unable to settle in and all the planets in Virgo insist people work, preferably like slaves.

The result is an upset stomach to say the least.

Who else out there is churning?

The day is bound to  be difficult with the Moon is in Pisces post the lunar eclipse, opposing all the planets in Virgo.  It’s just a lumpy bumpy rife and the temptation to project today is sky high but should be easy to spot.

Someone is the victim (Pisces Moon) or at least feels they are.  This leaves the other person to be the critical, exacting oppressive Saturn / Virgo figure stomping on the sensitivities of Pisces. Thing is, it doesn’t work that way because the victim has a million tricks of their own. “Hey! They were insensitive and cruel so now I’m going to be insensitive and cruel…”

If you mean to navigate this one with some degree of consciousness you will have a real challenge on your hands, and if you put forth an effort you are very liable to act (Mars) unconsciously (Pluto) so lets just hope you murky bits know what they’re doing!

Post your observations of this phenomena…

Mars is squaring Pluto today setting off the transit to my natal Moon and one thing with Pluto Moon, you can really see people’s motives. With an 8^th house like mine I’ve got this gift/curse anyway but jeez louise the transit kicks it up big time and today is no exception.

Today the soldier got an email meant to provoke him.  The person who sent it is acting as agent of the person who is really pulling the strings and either is or pretends to be an innocent.

“Boy is she getting set up,” I said, the action completely transparent to me.  ‘Why does someone let themselves be used like that anyway? I sure wouldn’t. If you told me, hey Elsa!  Send this person an email so I can jerk their chain, I’d tell you to go to hell!  Send it yourself, I’d say!”

Quite a few people who have Mars in aspect to Pluto surfaced on the Evolutionary Astrology Perspective piece to say they had been molested. While this manifestation is certainly not a given, I would say the fact that someone with an aspect between Mars and Pluto in their chart is at increased risk is undeniable.

Now I just heard from a mother of a daughter who has Mars in aspect to Pluto in her chart and being as she can read a chart, she keeps extra close tabs on her but is that enough? I don’t think so. Because that energy is going to be expressed one way or the other. You can’t just “avoid” something in your chart… something that is part of your destiny.

Dear Elsa,

I was wondering if you had ever done a blog on MARS SQUARE, OPPOSITION OR INCONJUNCT PLUTO? This has been my most interesting find to date in this subject. All the men so far with this aspect are congenital adulterers and the female counterparts have been abused physically and sexually molested in their lives. I know of a few women with these apsects who go through one man after another and never learn to be faithful until late in life..and some never do.

One I know who is in her 60’s constantly has at least three men she is seeing (if not more) and this has been going on for since her teens. She travels and has a man every port waiting–and she isn’t a beauty to behold either. Sexual Karma - This info comes from PLUTO-THe Evoutionary Journey of the Soul–Volume 1–by Jeff Green.

Astrology has been a research project for me since the late 60’s and the karmic and spiritual parts have been the most rewarding as it gives us reasons why we are here and what for to overcome…

And here is the question from the researcher:

Do you have Mars in aspect to Pluto? Have you experienced sexual obsession or or have you been sexually molested?

Here is a picture in honor of today’s Mars in Leo trining Pluto. When asked to draw a picture of himself so the teacher would remember him, this is what my son’s friend drew. This kid is a nine-year-old boy, with a natal conjunction of Mars and Pluto in Sagittarius in the 3rd house. He regularly walks around the neighborhood (3rd house) with his bow and arrows and it was important for him to communicate this on his page in the year book. Last I heard, this kid is signed up for archery camp this summer

I have a Sagittarius Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius too, and I loved the feeling of release when we had archery in Gym class, did you too?

Dear Elsa,

It doesn’t sound like Saturn to me. As written I get a Mars Pluto type hit off this, like a virile attack. Something like a killer (black) dog coming at you, teeth bared.

Saturn is more inclined to put the screws to you and turns slowly.

Anyone else?

Okay here’s a problem for y’all. I’ve got a gal trying to break a long-standing pattern of opting to go with Danger Boy. You know the type. He’s got an edge, might be moody, definitely non-committal, intermittently withholding, secretive, etc.

Her problem is pervasive and multifaceted. For example, she has Venus in Aquarius trine a Moon Uranus conjunct in Libra which is clearly going to resist commitment so choosing these boys serves in that fashion.

Beyond that, she has Mars in Aries opposite Pluto in Libra so she drawn to the intense challenge and perhaps the pain as well but here is what she’s asking:

Has anyone out there ever successfully weaned off Danger Boy in his various forms and established a stable partnership?  If so, please us how… and if you’re inclined, what drove you to change your ways?

Remember Pisces, satori with her fierce solar return? We are going to be watching her.

She’s got the 19 year old leukemia patient she is dealing with, she’s got a new love and she’s got the fierce Mars Pluto across the ascendant /descendant in her solar return. I have encouraged her to go to the gym… something for her rage. Not that she is a particularly angry person but fact is when you have to watch a teenager you care for fight cancer I think it’s fairly impossible not to be mad as hell at some point.

In whatever case she is going to the gym - looking for this piece of clothing to wear:

The Moon in Cancer trines the Sun in Pisces allowing people do continue to recover from such a hairy start to the weekend. The Virgo Pisces opposition is still very prominent and I have noticed lately that with Mars in Cancer, mothers and their maternal instincts are very much in evidence.

Personally, I have a very strong maternal instinct and with Pluto opposing Mars in Cancer the feelings are not very comfortable here lately. I mentioned this to my friend, Ben who works in the school system and he told me he had a run in with someone’s mother the day before and it was wicked.

Very, very bad time to piss off a mom, I’d say. Do it and expect to come face to face with what they call “coiled up serpent power”.
