The Moon conjuncts Pluto and opposes Mars.

Can you say “devouring”?

Meanwhile Venus moves toward conjunction with Neptune in Aquarius and the Sun in Pisces nears Uranus and I don’t know what to make of it. Are the people deluded? Are they detached? Are they compassionate or are they cold as ice? I don’t know.

Fact is, this is the closest I can come to describing the sky right now. Jimmy Buffet in concert.. a group of people drunk in paradise with a volcano threatening and guess what? He don’t know!

Here is Mars in Gemini (chat / communication) opposite Pluto (the restroom / the unknown) in today’s conversation with the soldier who knows very little about women…

“Yeah women call each other from the restroom on dates.”

“They do?”

“Yeah. They tell their pal how it’s going. If they like the guy or what. If they are bored or if they are going to sleep with them they call about that too.”

“You’re kidding me, P?”

Dear Virgo,

With Mars conjunct Pluto in the first house and a stellium in Scorpio I am sure you give off nothing but energy… energy that attracts and repels. And there isn’t a damned thing you can do about it except for gain awareness so you operate more consciously.

Now brace yourself because this next is going to sound like criticism when it is anything but. I am trying to free you here, I swear it. And the only way I know to do that is too offer insight so here goes:

Virgo has a vested interest in being seen as innocent and virginal and if you read your post up there, you will see what I mean. You’re not flirty. You’re not cheap! Why are they bothering you? You don’t want them. You didn’t do anything. Why bother the nun? Why not leave the librarian alone? But this keeps happening so it must have something to do with you and it does. Get this loud and clear:

You exude sex.

Lots of people are writing about tomorrow’s eclipse so I will focus on Mars in Gemini currently hunting Pluto. If you’re sensitive to lower octave rumblings ahead of earthquakes then you already see and sense this coming. It’s a big fight, yanno?

No, not a big night. I said, Big FIGHT as in eruption!

(Hearing this, some dive under the bed while others kick back with their popcorn. Others sharpen their claws and people like me go into denial and stay there until the last possible moment.)

Grand trine in Earth aside, the opposition between (retrograde) Mars and Venus and Pluto looks fierce and drastic to me. Take the wrong side now and don’t be surprised to find yourself amputated Scorpio style. Refusing to take a side risks the same result.

The climate out there is slash and burn and cut and run. Loyalty is rewarded with loyalty. The heads of the disloyal go rolling down the hill.

My sister told me once if you mess with a woman, treat her poorly when she is pregnant you will not be forgiven once that baby is born. I have found this to be true over the last 15 years so just consider many out there are pregnant and act accordingly.

Last week, Mars opposed Pluto. These planets combine to really shake something loose. Something powerful comes up from the depths of hell for whatever result. Good or ill, I mean depending on your perspective.

I definitly had this experience and am very pleased with the result. As my sister used to say: “Puke it up”.

The aspect is separating now but I wonder who else experienced a fundamental change at a core level. And do you have planets at the late degrees of the Mutable signs or early degrees of Cardinal signs where the opposition sits?

Dharmaruci of ASTROTABLETALK, writes on the “violence erupting in nature” blog:

We’ve all got violence in us given certain conditions. We also have a civilized veneer that disguises it from ourselves. So we need football, we need violent computer games and films, it gives some sort of expression to it. None of us are beings of light. We probably need the occasional war as well.

I agree with him. And astrology can tell you who is most volatile and when they’re most likely to go off. Take model, Naomi Campbell. She has Mars square Pluto and sometimes she’s just going to blow. And if you tracked her you could tell via her transits when she was especially short-tempered but I still don’t think you could predict her behavior and I’ll explain.

It’s as if she’s a live wire. And if you come along and happen to have planets in your chart that aspect hers… well she could go off on you, like you’re a match to her bomb. And I can attest to this…

My ex, the AMF was a painter and he routinely brought attractive naked women into his place so he could paint them. I never blinked an eye. It just didn’t bother me.

On the other hand, some gal so much as talked to the soldier and I was willing to fight not her, but him… if not to the death, then at least until someone was bloody! How can that be?

Well the AMF had Mars in Libra, conjunct my own. So we were both interested in the pursuit (Mars) of art (Venus), and it was also very easy to align our energy. We both looked out for the other (Libra) and had very little conflict.

On the other hand, the soldier has his Mars square mine which is an abrasive aspect and consequently I was willing and highly motivated (Mars) to beat him to death with a helmet and smash his motorcycle for dancing with another girl for one minute. And further, I have similar feelings today. I can’t help it. I literally can’t help my response to his stimulation.

So this is how profound and powerful synastry is in astrology. And if you are wondering about the potential for violence in relationship, just look at the natal chart for the potential and the aspects to Mars between charts because they will tell the story.

Have you ever noticed this kind of disparity in the way you relate to different individuals?
