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?

Dear Woman,

Arrrrrgh. Your father is a controlling jackass, and your astrologer is a liar. Your man in South America does in fact smack of your father, in that they are both very controlling men.

You are only 24 years old which means you met the man in South America when you were 21, and that he is nearly 10 years older than you. This leads me to think your father’s concerns may have merit; however the techniques he uses to control his daughter are abhorrent.

Now I were him, I would voice my opinion once and then let you go live your life. I do think the crap your father has pulled has increased the appeal of the man, because you have Moon square Uranus and are naturally going to rebel against your family / your roots.

As for the karmic connection between you and this man, I don’t see it. I think he is a father substitute. Your father is a pot calling the kettle black… but I also think it takes one to know one.

The man is attractive also because he is inaccessible, which makes it easy for your Moon in Pisces to dream him into whatever you want. I think if you were living in the same house with this guy, reality would hit quickly and hit you hard.

Last, just to help the Pisces… you say this man supported you and I believe you. But so did your father over the course of your life. I hate to say that. I hate defending a bastard, it‘s just that you are very smart and you understand psych and I think if you can see the mirror image here, you can get free which with Moon square Uranus, ultimately what you want.

Here’s my plan (yet a third person trying to run your life)…

Recognize you are oppressed by both men because the South American is preventing you from having fun with men who live nearby and offering nothing but invitations you travel to his doorstep. (Saturn opposite Mars in the birth chart)

Then work towards the goal of achieving independence… independent of father figures.

Good luck.

Dear Cappy,

The birth time you gave me was approximate, but if it is accurate within an hour in either direction then you are actually a double Capricorn. And even if you’re not, you have a stellium in Libra… planets in Aries and what amounts to an ultra- cardinal chart.

The Cardinal signs want to control things and if you read through your post you can see the thrashing about is all due the fact you cannot be in love… or have a relationship of any kind without all kinds of compromise and accepting imperfections of all kinds and types. So this is a challenge for you just in general. To live in a world in which you are not able to dictate every dot and every i.

But what further complicates things is your Venus in Aquarius in aspect to Uranus which is also conjunct your Moon. That’s your commitment-phobia and it’s not going anywhere. So the way I see it, you’ve set up an impossible situation here. Let’s see…

Your lover lives in a different country. Money is important to you but he is poor. To fix this, you want him to give up what he does… because he is younger (?) so that you can stay home and do what you do, even though you don’t think any of this will work. Well I agree with you! It’s not going to work. It’s not going to work because there is not love in this equation. There is the idea of love but it is ungrounded - and it appears doing what it would take to ground it is impossible for you, so you get the idea.

Without fundamental change, this relationship is going up in smoke as will the next and the next. And I would apologize for saying this but hey. If you wanted otherwise you would re-think your thinking and come up with new priorities. As it is your priority is to stay safe and in control in an unsafe and uncontrollable world, consequently you are working towards a goal that can never be realized.

Good luck.

My friend, Alexa just called to invite me to celebrate Easter with her family. Alexa grew up in a bonafide commune and has three mothers and two fathers… and nearly 20 siblings.

She has a Cancer Moon (family)… square Uranus (eccentric) so that’s fitting. But I’m having a Pluto transit to my Moon and so sure what a great idea this would be.

“I don’t know,” I said feeling Pluto-repulsive. “I may be better off the stay completely alone. I don’t know that I should leave the house.”

“I understand,” she said. “But if you do want to come, with my family there is no problem. If you don’t like what someone says to you, just talk to someone else.”

I laughed. That’s exactly how her family is too. They still live in a “communal way”. Her parents still live in a large house outside the city. They have some space out there. As a matter of fact, their house used to be the Playboy hangout in the 50’s according to one of her mothers, which is interesting in light of Rancho Diablo.

Leave it to me to wind up at the ex-playboy mansion or the ex mafia hideout. I go with the ghosts and I just think it’s funny, how these themes repeat. Wanna know the root of that? (Pluto Moon)

My mother was a painter and one of the things she painted was ghost towns! Ha ha ha.

What about your family? Anyone got a weird one?
Let’s hear from the Aquarius Moons. Let’s hear from the Moon Uranus peeps!
