A gal wrote to say that Pluto was transiting her Moon and ascendant… she wanted an interpretation. She got a polite form mail back explaining the question did not fit the format of my blog (I write advice rather than general astrology) and she wrote me back to say this:

“you dont seem to be into serious astrology at all,just the tea bag variety.I’ll contact Liz Green.”

I laughed when I read it because I am sure Liz Greene (spelled with an e) is standing by waiting to read this woman’s chart because she says to. But as I thought about this more I realized it was flattering to be associated with Liz Greene in any way shape or form. You’re going to write Elsa P and then contact Liz Greene? Well alllll right. Sounds like Elsa P is clear and Liz Greene has a problem and you want to know the shocking part? This woman is near 60 years old.

How do you get 60 years old and still act like this, that’s what I’d like to know.

She ended her mail with a passive aggressive “thank you” and her original mail was about having no relationship. Well gee, I wonder why.

I also want a new nickname out of this. From now on just call me, “Teabag”. Or should that be teebag?

Someone emailed me to ask who the soldier is. This happens once a month at least so I guess I ought to write something concise I can just refer people to. Also this will demonstrate how Uranus transits work.

It was Stephen Arroyo who wrote years ago that while things move quickly under Uranus transit. People think you are crazy and so forth, but in reality the changes that come very suddenly were seeded years prior. It’s the kind of transit where the battered wife up who has put up with abuse for years up and leaves her husband. She just walks out one day. She gets herself free and the people who know her are stunned. They don’t know what is going on and it is not important to her to tell them. All that matters to her is that she be liberated from the situation at long last. So in this case…

I have this “imprint” thing on my mind so I am pulling up this old blog for the newcomers so we can get back on this subject…

With Pluto currently transiting my Moon, I am very interested in what is innate or organic in me… and others. And my sister had a theory she shared with me about 20 years ago. She felt we all had a “blueprint” around what we were looking for in relationship. Dark eyes, dark hair, or whatever.

“You’re sitting on a plane with whomever, and your type walks by,” my sister explained. “And you look at him, you can’t help it. It’s the guy you are always going to notice, who is going to notice you…”

Today is my birthday and I feel like a completely different person. My handwriting has even changed. This feeling started about a year and a half ago (July 2007).

Are all Aquarians feeling this transformation?

Dear Changed,

Happy Birthday! I don’t think all Aquarians are being transformed. I think you have a T-square in the Cardinal signs and transiting Pluto is hitting that sucker, prompting the transformation. But I don’t know so let’s ask:

Any other Aquarians feeling “transformed”?

Dear Libra,

I am very sorry you are hurting but I don’t think this man is confused and I can’t imagine he is coming back. What he is doing cutting you off and waiting for you to figure it out. He may be telling himself he does not want to hurt you but his game is cruel - and I strongly suggest you not only stop waiting on him and his supposed confusion, but that you cut all contact so you can cry your tears and begin to heal.

As for the astrology, you have five planets in Libra and besides your Saturn return coming up, you are facing a Pluto transit that will last for the next 15 years. Translated, you are heading into a very demanding time where losses like this will become a way of life. It is very important you learn to let go of what is not viable (what is dead) and this relationship is an introduction to this. In other words, your relationship with this guy is over. What you have is a corpse so walk away and pay attention when you do. Force yourself to be conscious of what you are doing (choosing to leave the dead thing) - This will help you.

Again, I am very sorry. Much love and good luck.

Dear Virgo Moon,

The first time I read this, I thought this guy may be married and the second time I read it I thought the same thing.

The third time I read it, I still thought he might be married so at this point I would have to say you know what? I think this guy might be married.

And though I have no way of knowing this other than it sure sounds as if this guy is married, I still am going to mention it because you say you love him and I want to try to fix that…

What do you love about this guy again?

It sounds as if he offered very little and when you accepted it, he offered even less. When you accepted even less, he offered even less than less and when you finally called it, he merely shrugged and trotted off.

Now you are approaching 60 years old and you are in the midst of a massive Pluto transit. Considering this, I don’t think you have one minute more to waste writhing around over this man who sounds more like a weasel than anything else. And this is about all I can try to accomplish in the format of an advice blog - I can try to encourage you to LET GO.

Let go this piece of dead wood, cry your tears but please spare yourself further pain which is all you’re going to get by rehashing and trying to resurrect this thing that should by all rights, at this point should be taken out behind the shed and shot.

I am very sorry.

Good luck.

Dear History,

OUCH. Are you sure you want to sell yourself to this guy? I don’t think you should.

This was his chance to learn not to ask questions when he can’t handle the potential answers to them and he failed. It was also his chance to transcend his narrow mind and his tendency to judge and he failed that too. He failed his chance to expand himself, and to go deeper into his feeling so tell me again why he is so wonderful.

Look. Don’t let the Sun in Aries fool you. You are a Plutonian through and through, and the last thing you need is someone who can’t stand the heat in your kitchen. On top of that, you are heading into a massive Pluto transit and your main gig now is to NOT let people like this make you feel as if you are degraded in some way - which is exactly what this guy is up to.

Get him back and I guarantee you he will find something else about he deems repulsive but it’s all projection, see? You are the light on here, he is the shadow. He asked a question, you answered it honesty - you rock, he sucks, end of story.

Good luck.

Dear Planets,

I think a person prone to being unsettled in relationship only settles in a relationship the way a volcano goes dormant. That thing can look innocuous for awhile or even for a very long time but when it blows… well you best stand clear.

As for your current situation, with Pluto transiting your conjunction Venus, Pluto, Uranus conjunction, I’d say disruption is a given. And this does not mean you are going to leave your husband but it does mean “buh-bye” to the status quo.

Outside of this: when I read your post with its plea for stability, I get the picture of Wile E. Coyote. Can he really stop himself from ordering from ACME… making contraptions and doing his thing? Not in my mind. But to answer your specific question, I do think people with stability frequently crave excitement and people with excitement want the opposite… the grass is always greener on the other side.

And is being bored and settled “good” for someone like you? I don’t think it is. But I also don’t think you are bored and settled. I think you are bored and unsettled and here comes a Pluto transit going to take care of that…

Good luck

PS Since you specifically asked to have the opinions of the readers:

Where is your Venus?

Speaking of the shadow side, when the soldier surfaced in 2003, or rather when I dug him up, Pluto was transiting my Sun and I was writing on the astrology mailing lists quite a bit. And the Pluto transit to my Sun was 10 times as challenging for me as the Pluto transit to my Moon.

So anyway, we got in touch. And he’s calmed considerably since then in part because of our contact, I think. He always says I connect him to this world and I think it’s true. So back in 2003 he had not been connected in… a very long time. So he was way out there on the outer rim of… whatever and I would go out there and hang with him.
