The story of the story of a memorable client (Sagittarius) at her Saturn return. I forgot to say in here, this gal quit drinking…

Airplane follies? Yeah. Okay, I’ll tell you what happened.

I was seated next to this business guy. You know. A suit.

Now at the time I thought his clothing indicated he was important but you know that didn’t stop me. I turned to him and started babbling. I told him it was my first time on a plane and stuff. I don’t think he was sure about this at first but believe me I convinced him eventually.

Here is a very embarrassing but hopefully entertaining romp. It is meant as a diversion because I think people could use one. I wrote this in about 2002, because I am a fool. It was posted on this blog in 2006. Here you go:

Here is a Jupiter / Sagittarius / Travel story for pure amusement. It’s true of course. Jupiter rules the truth! Jupiter rules storytelling for that matter. And travel, planes, what you believe, bluntness etc. all of which are prominent in this bit, which is clipped from the middle of a much longer story…

I met Vivian about six years ago. The first thing you notice about Vivian is she is not very attractive. If you think I am a jerk, think again.

I want you to know Vivian and the way I do and her appearance is a marked part of her presentation. There’s that but there is also Vivian herself who is well aware of how she looks. She is also a Sagittarius, known for candor and she has no qualms whatsoever about discussing this.

Vivian has four kids and I remember the first time I met one of her daughters. The girl was jaw-droppingly beautiful and I said so.

These are amusing. A double Capricorn writing to a judge.

Letter to US District Judge Oct. 21 1956

Dear Sir:

One of my secret ambitions has been to sit on a jury and I felt honored when the summons came yesterday. However, several obstacles stand in the way of my serving at this time.

How long the term might last is of course unknown to me, but each day would be a sacrifice for me right now. I am working from dawn until bedtime to try to get a house ready to move into before the cold weather. My present quarters have no hot water heater or facilities for heating.

For many years now I have found it necessary to live on a diet of raw fruits and vegetables and a sudden change to the greasy devitalized meals of a restaurant would be most undesirable. I have no idea how many meals would have to be eaten away from my home nor if it would be permitted to bring my food from home.

What type of cases come up in the court is also a mystery to me but it might be well to mention the fact that I have long been opposed to capital punishment. It amazes me how long our country will call itself civilized and still cling to it’s gas chambers and collective murders.

Respectfully yours,

Letter to manufacturer of poorly performing electric razor July 22 1974

“…. During my long life I have used many razors including the Schick Flexamatic, Remington, Sunbeam and the Norelco, but this is the first time I ever saw one that actually refused to cut either a whisker or a hair. Again, I have offered it to one of my two granddaughters, who both shave their legs, but they are as disgusted with it as I am.

Regretfully yours,

pictured - Henry standing on his head on top a mountain. I took that picture. I was 10.

Although Henry was had fervent interest in religion and studied throughout his life, we were never taught anything specific to believe. Stellium in Sagittarius, he was wide open to discuss the subject and people commonly were invited to his house to debate.

They showed up in droves. Young men with bibles showed up. Men and women came in pair or groups, and I specifically remember the Hare Krishna coming by repeatedly. They became friends with Henry as did the groups of hippies that lived in the commune type settings that were somewhat common in the era. Henry would travel to visit these various groups…large spiritual families you might say, frequently spending a night or two with them, discussing philosophy.

These excerpts are all from letters to my mother. My mother is a double Aquarius and you can see the Aquarian themes here. He is making sure she knows he is no impinging on her freedom…and “friendship” is an Aquarian concept.

Henry was born in 1900, so it is easy to track how old he was when he wrote these letters. He is 55 when he can walk on his hands, for example.

Letter to my mother June 14, 1954 (My mother is fifteen here)

“…I thought you might want to visit your mother while they came over. I am not telling you what to do, just asking for information; you just do what you want to do.”

Dear Hat,

I have no idea what your signature means but I left it intact for others to puzzle over while I try to crack your problem, which I feel is far more common than the people realize or care to admit. And the cause, and the specifics from person to person are endlessly varied. But what you have in common is this: You have cracked 40 years old and you are alone. And I’ll tell you exactly why I think this is.

Sagittarians are focused on the “truth” and are known to be candid. They are bawdy and confident and there is an innate interest in religion, spirituality and philosophy. They are the travelers and storytellers of the zodiac, always on a quest to expand their horizons. Some feel with the Sun in Sagittarius, the ego is expanded. Sagittarius rules outdoor sports.

I’m one of those people you hate because of genetics. It is the truth.
Brad Pitt

I’m not really religious but very spiritual. I give money to this company that manufactures hearing aids on a regular basis. More people should really hear me sing. I have a gift from God.
