With the south node in Aries in the 1st house (soldier) and the north node in Libra, 7th (love relationship)… well I guess I’d say the bull has turned:

“So you’re going to go blind?”

“Yeah.”

“Is this something you know?”

“Um… yeah. Why? Does it change your mind?”

“No, it’s intriguing to me.”

“Yeah, well I figure it’ll be okay. I intend to have things worked out by the time it happens. I’ll have my house, our house and I’ll have it all memorized. I’ll learn whatever. I’m no dumbass so I’ll learn whatever it is I have to learn. I’ll have myself a seeing eye burrito and I’ll carry a big stick and swing it around.”

The soldier on the phone tonight:

“Let me read these titles to you so I can make sure you’re getting the right thing,” I said. “Because you’re right this gal does not speak much English and… well you know it’s confusing so just check this out.”

I read the titles of these obscure fight training dvds and he got all happy. “Yeah, those are them.” He told me the history of this kind of fighting. ‘ am getting a little rusty and I want to brush up on this stuff.”

In western astrology the south node, it’s house and sign describes what you are inordinately good at expressing and manifesting in your life. In contrast the opposite point, the north node, it’s house and sign represents what you should incorporate to progress in this life.

Speaking of the soldier’s challenge of manifesting his seventh house north node in Libra, I also have my north node in the seventh house. This means with our south nodes in the first house, we are both very comfortable acting independently in spite of our desire for relationship.

I have Venus in the seventh house, which is definitely going to want to partner and the soldier has Libra (Venus) in the seventh which puts him in a similar situation.

We are currently trying to work this out and I don’t mind saying that while we may love each other very much it is a great strain and struggle. So what about you?

Where is your north node and are you having any luck manifesting it? Tell us.

“Yeah, I told him,” the soldier said, regarding his boss / friend / nemesis / politeness trainer.”And?”

‘And he said he saw my son on TV.”

“What? He saw him?”

“Yeah.”

“You didn’t tell him that was going to be on did you?”

“No, he just was watching TV and he saw it.”

“He must have recognized your name and put it together. Yeah. Well you must have been glad to hear that,” I said. “I’d give him some credit for this. Don’t you think he deserves some sort of credit for picking up on that? I do…”

“Oh, I suppose,” said the rhino with the balloon tied to his nose. “I suppose I’ll have to be nicer to the bastard.”

“He’s not a bastard.”

“He is a bastard, but he could be a bigger bastard so I will try to be a little nicer to him.”

“Good enough.”

“But I will still kick his ass if I don’t see you this weekend. I am going to get irritable.”

“Are you irritable?”

“No, but I can get that way real quick.” (Aries)

The soldier has his north node in Libra in 7^th house (double whammy). His node is conjunct my Mars Mercury in Libra and I am pretty sure I am to pull him towards relationship and politeness.

Remember the boss he wrote SCREW YOU to and then wound up apologizing?

He is pretty much partnered with this guy so:

On Saturday…

“Did you wish him a Merry Christmas?” I asked.

“No. Hell no, I didn’t wish him a Merry Christmas. I don’t care what kind of Christmas he has,” the soldier said.
