mimi mottet asks on Self Esteem - Got Any?

“Do you have anything to say about Women Who Are Jealous of Other Women for no particular reason? There are lots of websites dedicated to the Horrible Things Women Do To Other Women. It’s an old story but I’d like to hear your philosophical (or astrological) take.”

From 2008 - Have you ever heard that Saturn was the antidote for and overload of Jupiter? Here’s how that works in real life aka “How the perennially restless can cut a break”.

To update in 2009, I’ve painted part of the house and we have Antony and Cleopatra on the wall.

Seeing my sister’s writing on this blog illuminates things for me and probably does the same for you.  One thing that comes across loud and clear is she does not bash other women.

She’s on the same subject here.  She is predicting potential doom as I prepare to go “east” and meet my prospective in laws.

She’s got Capricorn (doom, realist) combined with Moon Jupiter in Sadge (blunt) and the family Mars Mercury signature, hence the swearing below the break.

Dear Betrayed,

With your Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter, you value truth and look for meaning in your experiences. Your Sun in Taurus indicates your self esteem would be intact even after suffering something of this magnitude, so you are acting in complete accord with your chart… which is always a good sign.

As to the “why” he did this, there are probably an endless number of reasons or explanations but I will give you mine and it’s very simple: people are individuals.

People set their own standards for their behavior and if they put their mind to it they can justify anything. A person like you can get lost trying to understand or comprehend how a person might act in such a low-minded way. But when you do this, you are actually being very narrow-minded yourself and if you open your mind (a Sagittarius forte), I think you can resolve this pretty readily.

For example, there are sociopaths in society. Sociopaths have no feelings, they have no remorse and you will be waiting a long time (until hell freezes over) waiting for a change of heart when there is no heart. It is really is this simple, especially for someone like you… a natural storyteller. Just tell yourself a new (true) story:

“I feel in with a sociopath and got my ass handed to me. Egads, what an experience. Pity the other woman - Thank God I got out of that alive - Whew!”

Good luck.

Dear Elsa,

I liked your happiness posts. I would love to see more astrology on this. What do you look at as a happiness base?  Jupiter? Moon?  Difficult or easy Saturn, Mars, Venus?  Probably everything but do you have a standard procedure for a basic  happy-meter?

Yesterday I wrote about Christopher Reeve, a man so buoyant that even when he’s dead, he’s still - UP. I mean, it’s just impossible to think of the guy and end on a down note.

Lupa came on and said that like me, she could access happiness via focusing on the feeling of the sun on her skin and credited her natal Saturn in Pisces (A Saturn Neptune exchange).

Well my daughter has Saturn in Pisces. She also has Jupiter in Sagittarius trine a 9th house Moon and I am telling you that girl is not going down. Anyway you turn it, she is a streak across the sky and it occurs to me with Pluto retrograde applying in aspect to my Moon that my daughter is one of those people (like Christopher Reeve) who never really die. Oh, maybe in a 100 years but you get the idea. My daughter is UP.

She is up and even when she is down she is actually up, I think she gets it from her Mom.

(Her Mom gets it from Henry.)

Does he look dead in that picture? Of course not.

Up! Up, Up, Up!

Are you hard to kill or do you know someone who is? Give us the astrology…

Dear Homeless,

You are asking the wrong person because I live just like you. And I just knew when I was plugging in your data I was going to see a Jupiter Moon contact and sure enough, there it is! I’ve got the same and I can tell you exactly what is going on.  We only feel at home when we are moving! “Papa was a rolling stone… wherever he laid his hat was his home…”

I can tell you unequivocally I feel more at home at the gym then I do my own house. I feel more at home in a hotel room I plan to stay in for one night, etc. I feel more at home in the car and consequently, I don’t invest in making a home “homey” though I feel similar to you and think I should.

As to how to address this, I have had little luck. I traded astrology with an interior decorator once and while she did wonders with my house, it did not take me long to revert back to form. I have tried and tried and hope to try some more in the (Jupiter-ruled) future while I have simultaneously come to the conclusion, this is just how I am.

As for children growing up this way… well they probably do suffer but they are also paid. At least they get to walk on the carpet, yes? At least their friends can come over and let their hair down.  At least they have a hell of a lot of fun with a Jupiter Moon mom so…

Other people may have ideas. I hope they do but as far as I am concerned this song below is the Jupiter Moon (Sagittarius Moon) anthem…

Today I dropped my son at the bus stop for his last day of school. I was singing on the way, something like this:

“I love, Love, LOVE you! I Luuuuvvvvvvvvve, la la luvvvvvvve you!”

I don’t sing very well but never pay attention to this unless it is called to my attention which is what happened this morning when I pulled up at the curb and stopped to let him out.  There was one girl there, waiting for the bus.

“That’s not Emmy is it?” I asked, understanding she is now getting off the bus with him, one stop ahead of her usual. Might she show up in the morning too?

“That’s not Emmy,” he said, putting his hand on the door handle. “Now, Mom. Is there anything else you want to say before I open this door and be humiliated?”

I stared. I was stunned and then broke into a grin because he was grinning himself, slightly.  “Do you mean you wouldn’t rather I not sing for that girl.”

He nodded.

“Okay then. Gotcha. It’s safe - You can open the door.

He got out and I drove away thinking, this is a curse.  He’s a Sun Saturn (take me serious!) with a Jupiter Moon mother (rollicking good times) - What’s the boy to do?

Do you have a similar curse in your chart?

satori sent me this… it’s grand. Never mind the current lousy condition of Venus and Mars in the sky. The Moon in Taurus (love) is trine Jupiter in aspect sextile Uranus in Pisces so we may as well feeeeeeeeel good!
