Dear Elsa,

I begin to wonder if it is more difficult to integrate your Pluto stuff if you are in a more repressed society? Does culture impact the type or amount of Pluto that is expressed and then also integrated?

There have been a lot of interesting, thoughtful, passionate comments on the Robert Hanssen piece and I am glad of it. I feel very strongly about things like this and I feel so out of sync. I think what Pluto though Sagittarius has shown (among other things) is the press is crap.

“Truth” (Sagittarius) is manipulated (Pluto). People publish (Sagittarius) to gain power (Pluto). People’s beliefs (Sagittarius) are manipulated (Pluto) by what is published (Sagittarius) and if you don’t know this by now - Well you should. Oprah tricked by James Frey who wrote a book that would sell and who here is clean, hmm?

Boy, I don’t know if this is going to come across / translate to the masses but I am sure some of you are going to get it so here it comes.

Every night the soldier and (or) I tell Vidroid a story about our lives. Last night the soldier came up with a shocker.

“I once had a date with a girl… I went out with this girl and she peed her pants on the date,” he said.

“What?” I asked. ‘That’s worse than your farting.”

He nodded.

“Why did she pee herself?” I asked.

There has been some dialogue in the comments on the Effects Of Pluto In Capricorn On Cancer / Oppositions In Astrology piece.

Korellyn asked:

“So how does one go about digging into the psyche, barring professional therapy?”

I responded:

“When you think “they” are horrible, just make sure you’re not EXACTLY like them… and when you find out you are - then integrate.”

Del responded to me:

“He comes over at midnight? That’s pretty late to be comin’ over? Didn’t she give him the Elsa in a pinch speech?” the soldier asked regarding one of my friends.

“Don’t know that’s what he’s doing. Don’t think he’s using her in a pinch. Could be but it doesn’t seem that way to me. He could be but I cant tell if it’s her or if it’s him.”

He stared.

This for today’s Mercury Pluto - discussing (Mercury) the shadow / psychology /death (Pluto)

“What is it that people don’t believe I was in Special Forces?” the soldier asked. Do you know when I have told someone that, not once have they believed me. Not once in my whole life have I been believed so why is that, P? What is it about me that makes it seem as if I was not in Special Forces?”

“Oh, it’s not personal. That’s just not something anyone is going to believe - You wouldn’t believe it yourself.”

“So you think I do that?” the soldier asked regarding projecting his shadow (onto me).

“Yes, but not very often. You’re not the type to do a lot of projecting because you’re willing to look deeply at things. You’ll think about a relationship or whatever for years and years, willing to see it from all angles. In fact you strive to do this and once you’ve exhausted the thing you typically come to a conclusion about what happened and invariably it’s fair. In my mind, you are not only fair, you’re generous. You’re very forgiving of other people’s foibles. You know how you are. You give enormous benefit of the doubt. People are in good shape when they’re dealing with you. You find reasons to explain their behavior that actually favor them and it’s rare. I don’t know that I have ever seen anyone do this as well as you, you set the example of how this is done.”

“I do try to…”

skye wrote on Gossip, Group Dynamics, Hate Mail, The Toilet Flush….

“This made me laugh. I really like that idea of a toilet flush - trust a mega scorp like AMF to come up with something like that, haha “Down the drain with you”

Anyways glad you figured a way to try and deal with these spinning out of control people. I want to write you a pissed letter just to see what song you going to send out, I wouldn’t though, my Mercury Libra conjunct Saturn says don’t do that!”

“I’m just regular. I’m in one place and you pass me on your way up and down,” the soldier explained. “Whoosh,” he said. “You go by me on your way up or down while I just stay in one place. Hi, P!” he said with a huge grin. “Hi, P, I say as you pass by me.”

“Is that what you think?”

“Yeah, you pass by me like you’re on a swing. But I like being with you. It’s like I’m still and you orbit around. I am like this big pear in the universe,” he said holding his arms out rounded at his side for emphasis. “And you go swooping around me,” he said with his hand in the air circling around. “You orbit me.”

“Yeah, I see that.”

“And every once in awhile we have a total eclipse. My shadow get on you,” he said.

“Ugh. Oh yeah, I hate that…”

I would say that Pluto’s retrograde transit back into Sagittarius has got me by the balls if I had a pair. Since I don’t, let’s just say I am being held close in, next the fire. At the moment I am both treated and tortured with a myopic view of the power (for good or ill) of Sagittarius things like storytelling and you beliefs. For example, astrology.

What if I “believe” in astrology and this causes me to look at a person’s chart (in this case, the chart of the soldier’s son), draw conclusions and then act on them? What if I see our Moons are conjunct, our ascendants are conjunct, my Mars and Mercury are conjunct his Venus and so on and on and based on my ability to discern what that means I act in a specific way?

How does that compare to how I would act if I did not have this ability?

Are you unnerved yet?
