I spoke to Leon last night. He’s Libra with a Scorpio Moon conjunct Neptune and has been a friend for 25 years. When we first met, Leon and I used to really piss each other off. He’s very good at provoking and I’m very good at reacting, so there you go.

But fact is, when Henry died and I cried virtually nonstop for six months, it was Leon (and his first wife) who showed up to help me clean out his house, and continued to show long after everyone else I knew abandoned me.

So he’s that kind of “loyal”. This is his nature and he proved yet again, it when his first wife contacted him about 18 months ago, about 20 years post their divorce. She was in a crisis with her two kids after their father died. She was divorced from this guy who was abusive and controlling, but she never managed to really wrestle free of him and in fact he was mean enough to actually jack her up on his death bed. Yes.

This afternoon, we’re on the phone. The soldier is a Pisces Rising, with Moon Neptune in Scorpio in the 8th House :

“You know how I remember things with music?” he said.

“Yeah.”

“Yep. That’s how I make sue I never forget the things I want to remember and I had to go to the store today and get some more songs. You have some new songs, Miss P. To go with your old songs. Songs and more songs. So I got my songs. You know I have to have these songs and I was leaving the store with my cd’s and I realized one of them was the wrong thing. It someone else singing song of the artist I wanted. You know. Muzak. Well, hell. That’s not right. So that one’ll be a Frisbee and I had to go back in the store.” Continue reading The Soldier and P- Part 15: Astrology, Music, Movies, Emotion and Girl Scout Cookies

“So anyway, P. I was never going to contact you. I just wasn’t going to do it. I hoped some day you might contact me but I didn’t expect it, that’s for sure. And I was pretty content just going along but then…”

“What?”

“Well you put up that one blog. I don’t remember what it said exactly. Something about water going down the drain. You said you were going to pull the plug, or something to that effect.”

I had quoted a Zucchero song. “Yeah, I remember. I know what I wrote.” Continue reading The Soldier on the AMF - Part 3: 8th House Scorpio Moon Conjunct Neptune Wigs Out

Dear Girlfriend,

I think you are right about everything and I think your friends are right as well. I will explain that and I will tell you what I would do and what the charts reveal… and after that you’ll have to decide.

Now personally, I would read everything the way you have and I would leave this man. Because I like things very focused. And perhaps it’s my ego too. It’s fine with me if it is. Because I have Venus in Leo and I am just plain not going to be seen screwing some guy who is enthralled with another woman. And you’re a Leo Sun, so I think you can relate to this.

However your friend who says this is “normal” is right. It is normal for him. Your boyfriend has Neptune square his Moon and his Mars, and he going to be leaking and fantasizing all over the place, mostly unbeknownst to him as you’ve witnessed. So can you stand that? Because if you’re with this man, you’re going to have to. And I want to point out one other thing.

It is his chart with all the challenge. You have a lot of ease in your chart and in your life in general, as evidenced by your attitude about all this. You can go or flow anyway you want to pretty much. So this is where you are. If you like it, stay. If you don’t then leave - and either way, I don’t think you’ll have many problems.

Good luck.

“You watched that stuff yet?”

“No. Too scared,” I said.

“Oh come on. Just put that one cd in. The gold one. Just look at it for one second.”

“What? One second. A second? Why would I do that?”

“Because the first thing you’ll see is me. My face. Come on, E. Just put it in, look at me and then you can stop it. One second.”

“Why?” I asked, cagily.

“Why? Why she asks! Oh man. I just want you to see what I look like!”

“I know what you look like.”

“Arrrrrrgh.” Continue reading Mercury in Aries vs Mercury in Libra: The Box - 8th House Scorpio Moon Conjunct Neptune

Dear Married,

I understand you don’t want to be married to a liar and an addict, however you are. And I understand you want to trust your husband, however, you can’t. And though I understand why you don’t want to sleep with him, this strategy will be completely ineffectual in changing his behavior.

Your chart shows a person who is very optimistic… someone who wants to “believe”. And obviously this is what is getting you in trouble. Because, take that cocaine. People who don’t use cocaine don’t pick up bags of the stuff from the gutter and put in their pocket and take it home! Think about it. There is a half-used pack of cigarettes on the sidewalk and I don’t smoke. What are the chances I am going to pick them up and bring them into my house?? There is no chance at all. I am going to think they look like disgusting trash.

So fact is, you are married to a person who is just like your parents and your ex-boyfriend. Sorry! And since you have had exposure and experience with this kind of thing, perhaps you know how infrequently people like this clean up their act. And you know it’s something only they can solve and the best thing you can do for them is get out of their way. Let them hit bottom, that is.

Now if you don’t know this, you should educate yourself, the sooner the better. Because obviously hooking up with impaired people is your pattern and your pathology. So that’s what I would do. Head for the nearest Al-Anon meeting (the principles are effective for all addictions) or to a therapist’s office and start to work on yourself. Because all the work you do on him will be for naught.

Good luck.

Regarding the Moon Neptune in Scorpio blog, Eme remarked:

“That’s awful. What would be an example of the good side of Moon/Neptune in Scorpio?”

Eme - There is no end to the upside of Moon in conjunction with Neptune in Scorpio. First, when that happened Neptune was in Aquarius, transiting square his conjunction in Scorpio. An also his Sun in Taurus! So you see, a wipe-out on all levels was virtually inevitable. He did not just lose his home, right? He lost his possessions as well (Taurus). But generally speaking, I would say his conjunction has served him well.

This is my ex, the man who survived nearly two decades as a Special Forces soldier. How often do you think that happens? And I would have to chock this up in large part to that conjunction. There is extreme emotional sensitivity. He can suss out just about anything and while I’m at it, one of my best friends, Stevie also has this conjunction and same thing with her.

These people are fairies. There is nowhere to hide. They have access to knowledge they don’t even know is extraordinary. Well they know, but only when the tide is in! Neptune. Other times they are supremely confused, only to have the tide come back in the nick of time.

And another thing I’ve noticed…well you’ve got Scorpio intensity of course, but there is tremendous empathy. There is no end to their ability to feel compassion and other people’s pain and if you are attuned to this kind of thing, you can feel it radiate from them.

And both of them are enormously giving emotionally. They will feel your pain for you (whether they want to or not). So there you go? Is this good? I think it’s good.

Scott’s sister was another friend of mine with Moon conjunct Neptune in Scorpio. She’s dead now, maybe you know. But she was also a supreme fairy. So incredibly powerful and so incredibly kind. She introduced Scott and I.

And then there’s Leon. He’s another life long friend of mine, with Moon Neptune in Scorpio. He helped me clean out Henry’s house when he died. And he kept showing up…he kept coming to my house, inviting me places and so forth in the months following Henry’s death, even though I could not stop crying to save my life.

His ex-wife from 20 years ago contacted him recently. Her current husband has died and she was in a crisis. He immediately offered his energy. He has supported her (emotionally) for a year now, expecting (and receiving) nothing in return. He does the same with his second ex-wife.

“She only calls me when she wants something,” he said. “And I just give it to her. I’d rather have her as a friend than an enemy,” he explained.

I nodded.

“I just can’t see…holding on to that bad stuff,” he said. “I just can’t do that…”

I didn’t say anything, but you know what I was thinking? I was thinking what a privilege it was to have such a compassionate loving man for a friend for so many years.

So there you go, Eme. I hope this serves.

Yesterday I was talking to a pal with a Scorpio Moon conjunct Neptune about his divorce, some years ago.

“I was just trying to avoid being homeless,” he said. “Anything but that! Who wants to be homeless? So I had just a few things left. Very little. And I rented a room from this artist couple…young couple this was. I was going to pay them $50 a month for this room. So I moved my stuff in there…”

And the next day there was a flood. And a two hundred year old tree fell on too the house.

“It was a big tree,” he said with a chuckle. “It was just lying there…it had smashed my computer!”

I laughed.

“So there was nothing to do. What can you do?” he said laughing some more. ‘The couple said, we’re going to get on the roof. And I said, what for? You’re going to climb up there and wait for the water to rise? Hope they pluck you off the roof? I’m out of here,” he said. “And I just left. I got the fuck out of there.”

And I thought this was such a good Moon Neptune in Scorpio story. A flood (Neptune) come and wipes out (Scorpio) your house (Moon).

And so much for trying to hold on to a shred when that just ain’t what the universe wants for you!

So do you have any stories like this? Tell em!
