The Pisces and the Scorpio Collide
Brinnnnnnng! Brinnnnnnnnnng!
The Pisces picked up. He knew I’d been dating the Scorpio. Since he was doing whatever he was doing and he wasn’t doing me, I’d moved along. He had his process which was nebulous but he still called me a couple or three times a week. We talked astrology by now so I told him about this guy’s fancy dick, Pluto and my blown pipes.
Well, well, well. I finally saw his Scorpio Moon peep out. He said the guy would call me again for sure and he felt I needed to lose him. He thought he was bad news. (I smell a cock-block)

Wild Astrology In The Wild - Meeting Pisces on Neptune - Part One: The Pisces
Wild astrology in the wild
With the recent talk of Neptune on the midheaven and being mistaken as a drunk, a whore and various other sundries, I thought I would pull up this old anecdote.
I am about 28 years old here so you can see this phenomenon is nothing new. My pain in the ass-ness is also nothing new and I have had this mouth awhile as well…
The Pisces
Pisces is a Neptune ruled sign associated with confusion and escapism - often through drug abuse, fantasy, and lapses of judgment, among other things. When a non-Pisces has a Neptune transit, they become Pisces-like and here’s a story. (swearing below the break)

Voice of Neptune on the Midheaven, In Aspect To Venus: Italian, Huh? Well I’ll Be…
Astrology in Real Life
We got into this stuff in the comments on Elsa’s Poker Face Revealed To Elsa so I’m back on the topic. Also, with Mercury in Scorpio conjunct my Midheaven (and natal Neptune) I can’t imagine there will ever be a better time to try to ’splain this…
I was talking to my sister, I was about 30 years old. She’s a Pisces with Moon Jupiter conjunct in Sagittarius…
“Well they think that because you’re Italian,” she said.
‘What? No they don’t. They don’t know I’m Italian.”
“Yes they do.” Continue reading Voice of Neptune on the Midheaven, In Aspect To Venus: Italian, Huh? Well I’ll Be…

She’s Been Married 25 Years, Wonders About Romantic Love: Capricorn Moon, Venus Square Saturn
Dear Elsa,
About 5 years ago, I fell in love with someone who is not my husband. Because I didn’t want to commit adultery or get divorced, I stopped having any contact with this person. Since then, I’ve tried to improve my relationship with my husband who I’ve been with since I was 18.
Despite the fact that more than 3 years has passed since I have spoken to or seen this other man, I still feel torn between him and my husband of 25 years. While my husband is not terrible, he has hurt me (and I him) and he has never made me feel loved like this other man did.
I’m skeptical about breaking up a family for feelings of romantic love - but at the same time, I worry that I might be ignoring something that is very important.
Do you have any advice for me?
Married
United States
Dear Married,
With your Moon in Capricorn and chart ruler Venus in hard aspect to Saturn, you have the chart of an ultra-responsible person and if you do anything at all, you are going to have to work within these limits. You will have to abide your own nature. But that does not mean you are stuck forever and ever.
In fact you have a Neptune transit to your Venus Saturn square and you just might find a loophole, or a “get out of jail free” card. And I don’t want to give you false hope but the fact is, there is potential here for you to be released.
There is also potential for you to be fantasizing about this other man to escape the drudgery of the reality of your relationship, and if you use the energy in this way I think it would be a mistake. It’s very easy to dream this other man into anything you want him to be because he’s not around and in fact, you have never had to deal with him really. You have not had to really live with him, get to know him, deal with his farts, his children if he has them, the fact he doesn’t have children if he doesn’t and other such realities. So here’s a better tack:
What if the universe sent this man to “cross your path” so you could see the potential of how relationships could be? Because it almost seems you got this message. Because what did you do? You went home and tried to improve your marriage. But what if you try and try and try and try and this is as good as it gets? Or what if you are the only one trying?
I don’t know the answer as far as what is going on with you and your husband right now, but I am pretty sure the universe is benevolent. And if you respect it as you surely seem to be doing, eventually it will pay dividends. So here’s the deal. It’s a hard deal and I am sorry about that - but when you’re in forties, most of us have a pretty good idea what our lives are like so I doubt you’ll be surprised.
If you are ever going to be with this other man or with any other man, you are going to have dot every i and cross every t. You are going to have to exhaust yourself “doing the right thing” until there is some grace… which will come. So here’s my advice:
Try not to focus on the specific man who after 3 years may be nothing more than a hologram. Instead, keep things on the love front as diffuse as possible. Because with all this Saturn action in your chart, I doubt you will be able to manifest a “fantasy”; but I do think you can manage to get what you deserve and you can work to make sure that what you deserve is very, very good.
And one more thing: This is not going to be completely resolved for about five years or so. Put that in your head, but do not despair. There will be all kinds of magic between now and then. The universe is working for you. You’ve just got to believe this.
Good luck.

Man Reunited With Childhood Sweetheart - She Has A With Boyfriend, He Finds Himself Very Attracted : Leo Sun, Scorpio Moon, Neptune Transit
Dear Elsa,
This past year, my childhood sweetheart came back into my life. Her sister was moving to my city for graduate school and she helped her move. We got together for about an hour when she was here and I was definitely attracted to her physically. However, I didn’t think anything of it at the moment because she was with her boyfriend.
A few weeks later, she sent me and her sister pictures of our childhood. The pictures showed us holding hands and sitting next to each other in every photo. I thought that they were really cute. But, I also realized for the first time that there was some connection between us because it looked obvious - although I was not aware of it at the time.
I had not talked to her since then until this past week when she came up to help move her sister back home. So, nothing happened until yesterday. When I drove them to the airport we found out that their flights were canceled, and they could not fly until the next day. So we ended up spending another day together. All day, nothing special was really happening. My feelings were just like the other days of her visit. That was until we went back to my apartment.
I told them that they could stay at my place for the night. So it got late. I stayed up all night with her talking about everything. We then got to talking about relationships and what would have happened if my family did not move away when I was eight. She told me that at the time, she always thought that she was going to marry me. This was shocking to me because I never really thought of her as my childhood sweetheart until now. Other than the my physical attraction to her, she had a lot of qualities I liked. I have never felt this way about a girl before. I asked her if her boyfriend was the one for her. My impression was that she is having doubts about their relationship.
Anyway, I felt so comfortable talking to here that I opened up all my feelings, desires, ambitions, etc. We were both on my bed talking all night. I can’t help but think to myself that fate brought us back together. Her sister coming to my city and the flight being canceled seemed strange to me. I have not acted because I’m not sure what all this means.
Thanks so much,
Reunited
China
Dear Reunited,
I am not sure what it means either, but I admit to being a romantic and I am sure if I were you, I would be thinking and feeling similar things.
That said, I don’t think you should do anymore. Because this woman has a man. And if it is indeed “fate” and the two of you are destined to be together, then this is what will happen. And it will happen in it’s own way and in it’s own time.
Outside of that, it may help to know that you are having a Neptune transit, along with everyone else with planets in the mid - late degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). You should not expect resolution before July, 2007. And I am sure you are probably pining and fantasizing. But there is nothing you can do other than to keep the faith that what is meant to be, will ultimately be.
It’s like a bottle tossed into the tide. You can’t control it. You can hope and you can wish, but that bottle is going to wash up when and where it’s going to wash up and all you can really do is thank your lucky stars to be involved in this life and this love and these tides.
Good luck.

Restless and Distracted - Aquarius With a Scorpio Moon: Neptune Transit
Dear Elsa,
The past year has been rather messy, and I wonder at times if I am losing my mind. I know that I have a lot of character flaws and that the lifestyle I lead is unbalanced, but I can’t seem to make myself change things for the better. Actually, I’m backsliding instead. I am restless and distracted when I should be concentrating on my work. And I fear that instead of becoming a more open person, I have become more and more of a misanthrope.
I understand that I need to concentrate, get out more, and lead a more balanced life - but understanding is different from doing. I don’t mean to say that I haven’t done anything, but maybe I’m not trying hard enough? I don’t know. While I am aware the transition into adulthood can be tumultuous, it feels right now like I’m on a path of self-destruction. And I’m just not snapping out of it. Any ideas?
Falling Apart
Dear Falling,
It sounds as if a stern lecture and some kind of kick in the ass would be inside your comfort zone. And if you were having a Saturn transit, this is exactly what I would offer you, but this is not the case. Instead you’re having a Neptune transit which invariably brings confusion and an inability to focus.
Imagine being tossed in the middle of ocean and it’s just as you describe. You mean to get to the beach, to solid ground… but you just can’t go against these enormous forces. How deep is the ocean, anyway? And you’re just this little girl out there… watching other people on the beach walk a straight line, while you remain disabled.
So the first thing to know is this is not permanent. Things will begin to clarify early next year. And one of the things about being nineteen is you generally just don’t have enough years on the planet to put these things in perspective.
By that I mean, at nineteen there is an idea that life ought to go in a straight line, when this is simply not the case. People are waylaid all the time. They are sidetracked. They are tossed from the game, and have to sit out a round or two, for various reasons. They get ill. They get drunk. Their husbands leave their “perfect” marriage. They slip on the sidewalk and crack their head! You get the idea. And this is where you’re at. You were walking a straight line on the beach and the tide came.
And now you’re in a period where you are doing self-destructive things. You’re flailing. And the way to stop flailing is to stop flailing. And I know this sounds strange, but I think in the end, you will find that I am quite right about this.
You have to quit thrashing around. Instead look for a gentle solution. Instead of fighting all this water, lie back and let it carry you. You need to let the tide do the work. Let the universe do the work. Your work is to submit. And I realize this may be a terrifying but it’s really one of the best things this world has. Magic, that is. Coincidence, synchronicity, etc. Because it’s while you’re out there in the water, off your beaten path that you are most likely to collide with the someone or something that changes your life forever.
So just try to muster up some faith, because down the road, I imagine you will see clearly how this transit in your life enhanced you. Saved you, even. Take care and good luck.

Tales From Astrology Seminars - Part Two
Need to catch up? Part one
That First Meeting
I was in a quiet panic. I thought about dashing out, but no. I said I was going to do this, so damn it I was going to do it. My sister wanted a full report, so I told myself to calm down. The meeting will start soon; I thought to console myself as I waited. I imagined myself in a movie theatre waiting for the lights to go down so I could relax and eat my popcorn.
Time was slow, but it passed and the meeting started. There was no one on either side of me, or even in my row for that matter, which was a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing, because I was in no condition to chat. A curse because I wondered if I was being shunned or something. You know. No one wanted to sit next to me because it was so obvious I wasn’t hip! Hey! Who let her in here?
If you’ve been reading awhile you may think this doesn’t sound like me, but it was real. I had a heavy-duty Neptune transit at the time and was splayed out all over the place. It was just like this, all of the time. It was a Neptune transit to my Capricorn, dissolving my defense. I was walking around, without an edge. I was at the mercy of tides I couldn’t see and constantly morphing with my environment. Oh well.
They opened the meeting, commenting about the new faces which prompted all forty people in the room to turn and look at me. My face was hot, and I imagine I smiled helplessly.
They passed a clipboard around. They wanted new people to sign in. “They”, refers to the woman running the meeting, who sounded like the teacher talking in a Peanuts cartoon. You know. Blah, Blah, Blah that reverberates from the front of the room while Charlie Brown struggles to comprehend.
I understood what she was saying, but it wasn’t really words. She asked that new people leave their name and address if they wanted to receive club mailings. Something like that. They also asked for birth data. “If you want to leave it,” she added.
The clipboard got to me and I felt this guy behind me strain to read what I was writing. Oh man. I was being observed. Crap! I wanted to make a good impression. I was there to make friends, remember?
I wrote my name slowly and carefully because I was buying time. I was trying to decide if I wanted to leave my data or not. Hmmm… What’s the cool thing to do? I wondered. I had no idea. It’s anybodies guess what cool people do if you’re me, so I opted not to, mostly because the guy behind me was so keen for it. Fuckin’ Scorpio.
The clipboard was being passed to the back of the room, so I turned to hand it to the peeper back there and he grabbed it in hungry style.
Noting I’d left the birth data slot blank, he whispered, “You forgot your birth data.” He pointed to the spot I left blank, in case I was stupid. “Right here,” he said.
“Yes. I know,” I whispered back with a stupid smile. “Thank you,” said my Libra.
My Libra is truly full of shit. I smiled again. And it was okay. It was one on one, which was really my forte.
“Are you sure you don’t want to leave your data?” he asked. “We don’t do anything with it. Well, sometimes we read each other’s charts, but only if someone wants…”
“Yeah, I’m sure. Thanks.”
I turned around, wondering if I was rude and thinking he was, considering the gal in front was still running the meeting. Shouldn’t we be listening to her? Logic said yes, but I didn’t really know. I’d never been to a club before. I hadn’t spent much time in “town” in general.
“Suit yourself”, he said from behind me.
Trying to be attentive to the speaker, I didn’t respond.
I don’t remember much of what was discussed at this first meeting. It was so unreal to be in a room of people who embraced astrology. Between that, the anticipation of coming, and the Neptune transit, I was feeling pretty high.
I made it through the ninety minute meeting without talking. There was some discussion and several times the leader looked to me, eager to give me an opportunity to talk. I responded by averting my eyes, because I had no voice. How do you talk with your stomach in your throat?
I was relieved when the meeting ended. I was proud too. I’d made it through without disaster and I’d managed not to bolt. I noted people were congregating in small groups, but I got up quickly and headed straight for the door.
Guess who meets me at my car?
“Right. The guy sitting behind me. He explained he was an officer of the club. He was getting some papers or something from his van…
Yeah right. ::laughs::
He implored me to come back in. He said he would introduce me to everyone, but I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t gather myself. I was having a big problem with this Neptune stuff. I felt like a puddle, so I begged off. But I did tell him I would be back for the next meeting.
“Are you going to join us? Are you going to join the group?” he asked.
“Um…” I’d never joined anything in my life. What’s that like anyway? “I don’t know. I don’t really know,” I said.
I was glad he was talking to me. He seemed nice. It was as if he was willing to sponsor me into the group and I appreciated this. I also thought he wanted a date. Just a hunch. When a man chases you out to your car, it is usually his dick leading him, right?
I wasn’t sure if I was interested in him or not, but the idea of dating an astrologer was pretty amusing. That’d be something new. But I still wanted to get the hell out of there.
He offered to read my chart for me and that was pretty cool. No one outside my family had ever read my chart and I was kind of fascinated with the prospect so he was holding my phone number when I drove away.
To be continued.
