I thought I’d tell you what happened the first time Vidroid met the soldier.  It was stunning but first you have to know what happened the first time they talked on the phone.  It was about 8 months ago and I was mortified.

We were in the parking garage, I had both kids and I was taking my daughter to the doctor when the soldier called.  My daughter got on the phone  and chatted with him - They had already met. She’s a Gemini, he has Venus in Gemini so no problems.  My son asked to speak with him as well so I handed him the phone.

Vidroid called him by his first name and announced this:  “When I see you, I am going to beat you up. I am going to kick your ever-lovin’ butt,” he said.

That was literally his opening line. No hi, no nothing, I thought I’d die.  Instead I wheeled around with a look to kill.

‘What did you say to him? Give me that!”

“I noticed your daughter, when she writes her handwriting… her words get bigger and bigger. It’s as if the thoughts are expanding as she goes.”

“Yeah, I know. It runs in the family.”

Me - Mercury in the 9^th (Jupiter’s house)
My daughter - Mercury in Gemini opposite Jupiter in Sagittarius)
My son - Mercury conjunct Jupiter

Jupiter is squaring the Sun and Mercury in the aggressive sign of Aries and this is an excellent time to blurt your truth (Jupiter)! To assertively (Aries) tell people (Mercury) who you are (Sun). To define yourself (Jupiter in Capricorn)…

Now a long time ago (18 years?) I was contemplating getting a bumper sticker for my car and when I mentioned this to my sister she laughed her head off.

“For one thing, I didn’t realize or remember The Soldier was from a foreign country with a foreign language as a first language, and yet something in your writing drew out that example about India and language glitches. This poor guy, there I am intimating that he is smokin’ you a little bit, maybe not the case at all! It might really be a language thing. that’s wild.”

I am doing a 2000 piece puzzle with my son. We’re both very keen on puzzles.

“Why couldn’t you have just gotten me a board game?” he asked.

“I already told you. I wanted something we could do together.”

“You could play a board game with me.”

“I already explained why we are doing this. What? Do you want a challenging life or an easy one?”

“Challenging, of course.”

I was surprised. “Really? Why do you want a challenging life?’

“Don’t go all fortune cookie on me, Mom,” he said.

My son is “eight slash nine” now. He is 8, but he is a year ahead in school. He’s decided the kids in his class do not need to know this (Mars in Scorpio) so he is 8/9. “I am 8 when I am home and 9 when I am at school and when my birthday comes I will be 9 slash 10.

I didn’t argue. His chart is almost entirely cardinal and he runs his own life.
