Dear Elsa,

Can a sage (man or woman) be overly possessive?? Is that normal in a sage? It’s puzzling me because I thought Sagittarians can let go easily, forgive and forget. But I’ve known a couple of them who are so obsessed with someone/something.

Seeker, I’d say a sage and/or a Sagittarian is first an individual and an individual can most definitely be possessive, obsessive or any other kind of thing.  Further the idea a “sage” or a Sagittarian be obsessed with their belief is no stretch at all but your question was most interesting to me because of your own chart.

In spite of the fact you are a teenager, I think you are quite a teacher / preacher yourself and I am not surprised you are running into obsessive or controlling guru types as they are examples of what you can and will be if you do head for higher ground. Keep asking questions, you are on the right track.

Anyone else?

A few days ago someone wrote me with a question about Jupiter in synastry. I couldn’t quite coax it into a post but I’ve come up with this… the story (Jupiter) of the unlikely connection between two men with Jupiter in Sagittarius.

My grandfather, Henry was extraordinary by anyone’s standards and as a double Capricorn with 4 planets in Sagittarius (including Jupiter and Saturn), I’d have to say he was born that way. The soldier is also extraordinary however I’d say he was born with his work cut out for him.

If you ever want to know how to get somewhere, ask a Sagittarius. Sagittarius Sun, Moon or rising, a lot of them actually carry little notebooks around, for exactly this purpose… here are some stories

~~

Once I was new to a city and a Sagittarius Moon I met suggested I check out this specific bar. He said he thought I’d hit it off with the bartender and to make sure I could get there, he pulled a pad from his shirt pocket and drew me a map. He ripped the page from his notebook and handed it to me, and then drew me a second map.

“If it’s rush hour, use this one,” he said.

Dear Betrayed,

With your Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter, you value truth and look for meaning in your experiences. Your Sun in Taurus indicates your self esteem would be intact even after suffering something of this magnitude, so you are acting in complete accord with your chart… which is always a good sign.

As to the “why” he did this, there are probably an endless number of reasons or explanations but I will give you mine and it’s very simple: people are individuals.

People set their own standards for their behavior and if they put their mind to it they can justify anything. A person like you can get lost trying to understand or comprehend how a person might act in such a low-minded way. But when you do this, you are actually being very narrow-minded yourself and if you open your mind (a Sagittarius forte), I think you can resolve this pretty readily.

For example, there are sociopaths in society. Sociopaths have no feelings, they have no remorse and you will be waiting a long time (until hell freezes over) waiting for a change of heart when there is no heart. It is really is this simple, especially for someone like you… a natural storyteller. Just tell yourself a new (true) story:

“I feel in with a sociopath and got my ass handed to me. Egads, what an experience. Pity the other woman - Thank God I got out of that alive - Whew!”

Good luck.

Some years back, I was writing on a message board about Gemnis lying. I called them Gemiliars and people got all pissed off. They were justified to an extent so having Libra, I decided to write about Gemini’s opposite sign: Sagittarius, known for being blunt and honest. Here’s the story…

I was dating this guy once, a Sadge rising. I’d met him in a restaurant for a big date. This was a really big date, he planned to propose to me after dinner. He had the ring in his pocket and here’s what happened instead:

Catch up here: Can Happiness Be Taught? Learned? Trained?

So how are these happy people, happy anyway? I would say across the board you are going to see Jupiter strongly placed. It is very hard to take Jupiter down. Matter of fact it is damned near impossible.

If you do take them down, they will be right back up the next day which is why Sagittarius beats the hell out of Scorpio.

Yesterday I went for my massage, this is something I committed to when Pluto went into Capricorn. Deep tissue massage, see? Once a month. And via various hijinks of the universe I wound up with a certain therapist who replaced the Katrina refugee from New Orleans I used to see.

The new gal… well she is a romp. We have to control ourselves because the first time I saw her we both started laughing so hard and so roaring-ly at the antics of the client she had prior to me, we disrupted the whole place which is set up to be serene. ::blush::

Jesse the Sagittarian climbed onto the cross-trainer next to mine this morning.

“How are you doin?” I asked, both of grinning the way we do.

“Oh, I’m like that horse that walked into the bar,” he said.

“Yeah?”

“And the bartender said, why the long face.”

The Interaction

Why doomed? Well, I may have a Leo Venus, but it’s just a streak in my personality. The meat lies elsewhere. I am an intense piece of work! Venus gets her due. She may have a little fun, promenade around a few times but the rest of me wasn’t going to set up shop with Billy, no way no how.

Not that I was thinking this at the time. I was thinking about how good we looked. Then later, I’d realize he was dating my hair and boy would that piss me off.

So let me tell you something: There are a couple ground rules for dating a Leo / Leo rising man and one of them is that you cannot cut your hair. Unless he has Venus in Aquarius in which case you can cut one side of your hair. Don’t believe me? If you have a Leo man at home, try this:
