The Scorpio vetting process…

On the last bit on this topic (tag - legacy) I talked about handling the legacy of of the living and I am back to expand on this.

I contacted the soldier in 2003 who immediately started telling me stuff and I mean he wasted no time at all. After containing virtually everything throughout his life, he offloaded pretty much all his stories (in raw form) in about a month’s time.  At the end of that month I was standing there, holding a bag the likes of which I’d not seen… in awhile.

“I’d be shocked if you cheated on me,” the soldier said. “I would be totally shocked,” he said carefully.

“I’d be shocked myself seeing as I’ve never cheated on a man in my life, never mind cheat on you.”

“Yep, I’d be shocked and it would end it I guess. It would end our relationship but I would sure be in agony. I’d be in some pain… pain.”

“Well I am not a cheater.”

“I know you’re not. I know you don’t cheat and I do trust you.”

Here’s a little question for you: The soldier has been at his job for a couple of weeks now and it is clear that his bosses (two partners) trust him implicitly. He can be trusted implicitly and I admire the hell out of people who can tease something like this out quickly. It speaks of high intelligence to me.

I have this experience fairly often myself. People write me and state, “I know I can trust you.”

They are right but I have little idea where they get their information. I have my guesses but that’s not the same so now I want to ask:

Do you know someone you can trust when you see them? How? Do you consider yourself smarter than most?

Last night I posted a piece by astrologer, Claire-France Perez, Astrologer To The DC Madam Comments Regarding Her Case And Suicide.

Astrologer, Doreen Gordon (rightly) questioned the ethics of Perez’s disclosure of what would be presumed to be privileged information in a comment. Perez responds:

Dear people,

Debra Jeane Palfrey was clear that we (my partner and I) were going to be writing up her case. I had no idea it would come post-mortem. I was given full permission to write anything I wanted, but had withheld it until after the trial. I naturally read everything about the trial and realized so much of my first impressions about her were true. She had Venus trined Mars, both in their own rulerships or exaltations, which gave her an attitude of “ethics” and high minded politeness, a kind of Mary Poppins primness upon she relied like we might walk on boulders, and not fear their breaking up.

Dear Scorpio,

You are 21 years old. And I may be an old lady out of the loop but if my boyfriend had ever mailed a picture of his penis to another girl when I was your age (never mind pictures I was in), I would have picked him up and thrown him into the next state. It would definitely been the last he ever saw of me, so based on this I find your response baffling. Why would you put up with this?

It goes without saying you have no business logging onto his business. This is a character flaw, you know? You ought to do something about that, but first let’s deal with this man.

I understand you have been with him for 2 years but when something like this happens, as far as I am concerned, you have been with him 2 years too long. Especially when you are 21 and have no tie downs. No children, I mean. So here’s my advice:

Take your stellium in Scorpio that included a Venus Pluto conjunction and amputate. Cut this guy off, cut him off for good and I’ll tell you why.

It’s because he can’t be trusted. You will never trust him and if you can’t trust him, what do you have? Well if you’re a Scorpio, what you’ve got is garbage. Something to set out at the curb… permanently.

You can’t be trusted either, of course. You poke in people’s business, so if I were you I would take this whole thing as a wake up call. Resolve to partner with someone you can trust and to be a trustworthy partner, because this other stuff is going to lead you to nothing but pain and you said you’ve had a lifetime of that, right?

Well I believe you. So get your order of operations down.

Use your spider senses up front to suss out whether or not a person can be trusted. This is something you can know for the most part. If a person can be trusted, proceed carefully. If not ditch them and move to the next. It’s a different application of the same “stealth”, but this guy? He’s got to go. Because there a million men out there who can tell you that you’re the most beautiful. I say, where’s the meat?

Good luck.

Mercury is in Scorpio and let’s see. First we have someone tracking a reader via RemoteSpy.com and then another reader writes in to cop to the fact she accesses a co-workers email to monitor her workplace affairs.

Personally, I don’t snoop. I am so hard core with this, you’d think I’d have burned doing it or something but that never happened. Witness this:

The AMF and I used to separate for short periods from time to time. He would draft letters to me which he would never send. And we’d get back together and there they’d be.

I used his computer all the time. I used it more than he did and there would be some new document on his desktop named, ‘Elsa”. Did I open it? Of course not.

“He probably wanted you to read whatever was in there,” a friend remarked.

“No he didn’t. He knows me. He knows me well enough to know I’m not going to click that thing. If he wants me to read it, he can open it himself and send it to me. Or he can tell me there is something on my desktop I want you to read. Otherwise, forget about it…”

I realize this is extreme restraint but fact is it takes (or took) no restraint at all. I respect a person’s privacy but way more than that, I respect myself. I like being trusted and I like be able to know that even if I’m not trusted, I can be.

I also cop to having some fear what I might find if I go poking around and last I trust the universe will let me know what I need to know… at the time I need to know it.

You?

Where is your Mercury and how is it aspected?

I was talking to a pal, interested in forming a relationship with a person whose nature is similar to mine. I surprised myself by describing the process I go through internally when I make a new friend. I explained anyone who came in with too much too fast, a “new best friend” sort was going to make me incredibly nervous.

“When someone comes in and thinks they are going to fill up my life, I feel completely overwhelmed. I may like them initially but if my phone starts ringing off the hook, well right then I know I am not going to be able to sustain the relationship.”

She was listening intently.

“People like me have to have a chance to feel you out and if you won’t allow time for this… if you won’t allow for a natural process then why is that? I don’t know but whatever the reason, it can’t be good. And I don’t even want to know what it is. If you can’t give me time to have my feelings and process them and if you don’t need time to have and process your own feelings then I want nothing to do with you because I just know we’re entirely incompatible.”

This is my 8th house talking, I’m sure.

How (and when) do you form a friendship? What will break the deal in the process?

Recently someone I have been close to and confided in showed themselves to be… unsavory. I have trusted this person but no longer do which means I now have to mop up.

“Well, I imagine he’ll ask if I’m mad. If he made me mad,” I told a friend.

“Are you mad?” she asked.

“I don’t know,” I said. “I have no idea how I feel. I think it’s more like I no longer exist. There was a relationship and it’s just… erased. I can’t see bothering to figure out how I feel because I am not going to communicate it anyway. I’ve thought about this for days and determined there is no way to go forward so..? How could I possibly trust this guy again?”

“No, you definitely can’t trust him. He is not to be trusted.”

“Right. And I have no time or energy for hobbled relationships… friendships. What time do I have for something like this? People just don’t understand how hard it is to be a single parent if they think you can deal with things like this.”

“You can say that again,” she said. She’s a single parent too.

“So anyway, I don’t know that I feel anything other than I’ve left the building. Where I used to be a human being he could relate to, and I used to share myself and my life with him, I am now a ghost. And I am sure he will try to engage me. Or reengage me, I guess it would be, but it’s not going to work. He will be talking to air from here on out. And I wonder what that is like. What’s it like when your hard-core friend you could count on turns into an apparition? You try to talk to them the way you used to and you find they just aren’t home anymore in any sense of the word. Because this is what it’s going to be. I just have no other thing I can do. He’s made it impossible for us to be friends so I relent. I retreat into nothing and there is no way to bring me back because I cease to exist in any form.”

I consider my response, Neptunian, because I erase myself. How would you characterize the action you take?
