Speaking of the planets lining up, Firefox is releasing the new version of their browser on October 24, the day six planets will be lined up in Scorpio (pictured below). Do you think this is an accident? I don’t. Some companies use an astrologer and other companies ought to!

For example, I remember when AOL first went to “unlimited usage”. It used to be by the hour, remember?

Well they made the change with Mercury retrograde and it was a complete disaster. It was a total traffic jam. No one could sign on for weeks!

So anyway, I have to think this is going to be very good for Firefox. And notice that Mercury goes retrograde Oct 28th, and they neatly dodge this, dont they?

And FYI, readers of ElsaElsa use Firefix in great numbers. This is probably because you’re all so stylish and avant-garde. Roughly 30% of visitors to this blog use Firefox as opposed to about 14% Internet wide and I’m one of them.

The Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter will all be in Scorpio this month and some people are scared. Why, is baffling to me. If you want to know how this is going to affect you, check your chart. Where is Scorpio in your chart? What house? Because wherever these planets fall, that area of your life is going to be super energized. And this is very straightforward!

For example, the planets will fall in my 10th house. That’s the public. And sure enough there will be an ad campaign for this blog this month which will undoubtedly increase my visibility.

And I didn’t elect this. By that, I mean the timing was not by design. This is my editor, HQ’s gig. He set it up and he set it up for now which is how astrology works, you know. It’s works perfectly!

So you see how SLAMMING this is. There is no trick to interpreting this because it’s impossible to miss. So what about you?

In what house(s) will these planets land?

And can you see how it might my manifest? Because the conjunction is forming now. It’s close enough that if you pay attention you ought to be able to see what’s setting up…

Astrologer, Kathryn Cassidy of the blog, Collaborate With Fate writes about the stellium of six planets in Scorpio.

She writes:

“On October 24th 2006, Planet Earth is going to bear witness to a comparatively rare alignment of planets in the Solar System…”

Hell of a birthday season shaping up for Scorpio, eh?

Check it out!

Teenager, I am similar to you. I am not the same. I am not nearly as challenged, but I do think relaying my experience will help you out.

See, I am an intense piece of work. I obviously am. I am one of the most freakishly badass intense people you could ever meet, but I don’t look it. Like you, my first handshake is very misleading.

And I didn’t know this for years. I just went out in the world the way you do, the way everyone does and had no idea why people initially interested in me became repulsed… or whatever it was that happened. And it was my sister who tipped me off.

“It’s your fault,” she said some dozen years ago. “You go out there with your dimples and your innocuous maiden clothes and people think this is who you are. So these men glom all over you and God help them when they find out who they’re really dealing with.”

“Hmm…” I said, bluffing to get more info. And I’m glad I did. Because this is when she said the thing that tipped it all for me:

“And how are you supposed to find a peer, dressed up in your nun clothes? I just don’t think it’s very sporting of you,” she said. “And I never have. You should be a lot better sport.”

“Whaaat?” I had to laugh. My sister had just called me a bad sport! And I have enough Sagittarius… well I was offended! And a few seconds after that I realized she was right. Crap! And her solution?

Well, she thought I should show some cards up front. Quit playing “maiden”. Right away, identify myself as a force. And I have done this with excellent results. Like this:

To disclose my eccentricity I stopped wearing generic clothes. Safe clothes, are out. I mention up front, early on in meeting someone, my key interests. Sex. Astrology. Relationships. Etc. You get the idea. “How are things going, Elsa?” they ask on the way into the gym. “Another day of living hell,” I say with a smile. I just lay it out and let people decide whether we’re going forward or not.

And you can do the same thing. Like mine, your ascendant complex, your first handshake is attractive. People like it. And lucky for us, huh? We ought to have something going for us! And you can and should exploit this. The fact you make friends easily, I mean. You can use your first handshake to disclose yourself and I think if you do this, they’ll far fewer “accidents” or rejections after the fact.

“My name is Teenager and I am unfortunately complex,” you could say.

And can you see how that could repel the superficial, the people who want to just go through the motions, but attract the people you really want in your life? I hope so.

And this is not going to happen in a day. But over time you can get this down to where it’s second nature to you. And you know why I’m so confident? It’s because I can see all the parts of the “whole” you in your chart and this method serves them all. Like this:

-Your Aquarius is served because it’s unexpected. People will be surprised and you like that.
-Scorpio is served because you get to observe their reaction.
-Sagittarius is served because you are blurting the ‘truth” of who you are
-Capricorn is served because people who will reject you are weeded out up front…very effectively limiting painful losses.

And anything that serves all like that is going to be hard to dismiss!

And I am very clever to have figured this out. :smiles:

That’s my braggart Leo side, talking to yours.

Have a good life!

Good luck.

So Teenager, first I want to say I reject questions sometimes for being too “personal reading-ish”. And then I come along with a blog like this that is exactly that. This information is pertinent to you. But there is method here.

Your chart is a very strong representation of various energies. You’re a super specimen, you could say. And people will see themselves in you. But it’s also because you’re a teenager. And if you are willing to expand yourself by asking a question like this and absorbing the answer, it leaves a thirty year old no excuse!

So what you’re got is a stellium in Scorpio. That’s a mother lode of the sign and this would be the part of you that is very demanding in relationships. But it is not this side of you that goes out and makes the friends “easily” in the first place. That’s your Aquarius rising.

The rising sign shows a person’s first handshake. And Aquarius as a rule is very social and accepting and all people. And they are skilled at putting people at ease, so you can start to see the problem setting up here. The airy side of you (the intellectual side) goes out in the world and meets and greet and meanwhile where is Scorpio? Lying in wait? ::smiles:::

Now that right there is enough to keep you challenged for a lifetime. Because Aquarius and Scorpio don’t get along!! One of them is ultra detached, the other devouring! Problem? Hell yes.

But the plot is even thicker. You’ve got considerable Sagittarius energy as well. And what’s that want? It wants to get around! It wants to travel. It does not want to be tied down, no way, no how. Hmmm..

Last you have a Capricorn Moon. Conjunct Saturn in Capricorn no less! And lemme tell you, this is a conjunction that will not be ignored!! What you didn’t mention in your post is you feel like crap when this phenomena happens with your friends and various relationships. The rejection has got to be nearly unbearable.

But take heart. I have a plan! That’s a Capricorn thing by the way. We plan. We have to. Our lives are so difficult, we face such incredible impediment, that we simply have to plot a course or we’ll never get up the hill. So I’m coming back tomorrow with my idea on how you might navigate all this.

To be continued

Dear Unsure,

How you proceed from here is entirely up to you - but I have to tell you that in my experience, liars lie. And since your man is a known liar, there is no telling what he is up to, even if he expressly tells you.

With Venus part of a stellium in Capricorn, your chart suggests the capacity for love relationship that is stable, supportive and real. That’s the potential, but the way you’re playing it is just about as opposite that as you can get.

Rather than working to ground a relationship in real life, and deriving a sense of self esteem through being a stellar partner… you are expressing the same energy in a wholly negative way. That is, you are settling for the tiniest of crumbs, out of the fear this is all you deserve.

Now if I were you, I would get my own man, in my own town, that I could put my hands on and so forth. I would also throw a liar back in two seconds, like some distasteful fish I caught on accident, and I would aim him so he landed on his fuckin’ head. But I am not you. You are you, so what is it that you want?

If you want to be in a relationship with a liar who lives in another country, well then you’ve got it! If you want something else, then lose this bastard like yesterday and fish another line.

Good luck.
