Yeah, yeah the full moon. But what about the T-square between Venus (in Virgo, the unmarried woman), Uranus (Freeeeeeedom!) and Jupiter (don’t fence me in)?

Tell me I’m not the only one with itchy feet! Thankfully I will travel this weekend. I feel ready to turn into the Hulk! Who would attach to that guy? Yeah, that’s the point!

Anyone one else got Uranus tied up with Venus or the 7th house? Testify!

The soldier on the phone…

“I was watching the Godfather last night and it came to the part when Micheal was in Italy and he sees Appolonia for the first time. They see each other… they just look at each other and he has to wipe the sweat from his forehead just from seeing her.”

I laughed.

“That’s how I felt when I met you. And I still feel like that every time I see you. I have to wipe the sweat from my forehead, P. Anyway he’s just standing there and someone tells him, looks like you’ve been hit by the thunderbolt. I sure know what that’s like…”

The soldier has Venus (love) sextile Uranus (sudden) so prone to sudden attraction and love at first sight. His Uranus is conjunct my Venus so I am going to trigger this tendency big time.

I have Uranus in the Venus-ruled 7th house so am prone to same and in fact, if I am not attracted to you in the first seconds I can tell you for sure I never will be. What about you?

Is there a Venus Uranus exchange in your chart?

For the Moon in Cancer… a house story:

It was February, 2007 and I was wearing the ugly pants I’d worn to fly across America and meet the soldier. I hadn’t seen him in more than 25 years and we were sitting in a truck in front of a laundromat. I had the song “Trudy and Dave” playing in my head. Trudy and Dave are John Hiatt’s outlaw couple who shot up a teller machine, took the money for the laundry and drove away clean, but never mind that…

“Well, I’ll tell you what I plan to do,” he said.

“Tell me.” Continue reading Ugly Pants Across America - The Soldier and P At The Laundromat

Dear Love,

I would not call you “dysfunctional” in relationships and I would hope you would not tag yourself in that way either - because it’s a judgment and a negative one. It sounds to me like you’re functioning just fine. You just happen to be a person who gets bored in relationships and you have lots of company on that front. Lots of people struggle in similar and same fashion - so how can it be dysfunctional when this is as common as having brown hair?

So you’re not dysfunctional but you do have a problem: you have a stellium in Libra (which wants to be partnered)… but you also have Uranus ruling the 7th house, which detaches and wants to be liberated from relationship. And this is what you are acting out, and why you are having this same experience over and over again.

So to answer your question: no, there is no “right one” who will disappear this conflict for you but you can find a way to live with it. That is, you can own and accept the fact you do want to be partnered, but also own and accept the fact you need an inordinate amount of space and freedom in relationship. And this has nothing to do with the qualities of whoever it is you are involved in.

It may sound daunting but the fact is that there are legions of people out there feel exactly the same way. And if you can get yourself conscious about this (know yourself) and find someone who has some consciousness about themselves, you can be just fine having a partner that does not restrict you and being a partner who does not restrict…

But dysfunctional? No. In reality, you are firing on all cylinders so just get to know your cylinders. Look under the hood, you know?

Good luck.

Ben and I have tracked each other for 25 years. We keep each other filled in as to what we’re up to, the turns we make in our lives and so forth. We were talking about the soldier, and the various ways my association with him has been impacting and influencing me. I have a 7th house Uranus. So does Ben. It indicates a strong attraction to the unusual.

“Well Ben, he’s extremely acute. He’s a specimen at the end of the continuum and on more than one level. And although it’s enormously uncomfortable relating to him at times, ultimately you cannot hang around someone like him and not learn all kinds of things. So I have been learning all kinds of things and a variety of things too. The things I learn shock and alarm me at times but ultimately please me. I don’t mind the discomfort. How else am I going to find this stuff out? I’m learning things about him, things about life in general and things about myself of course.”

I quit talking but Ben didn’t say anything. It’s his MO to listen and absorb everything and then comment when it’s all been said. But I still pause in case he has a question even though he almost never does.

“He’s potent and very unusual. But I am not talking about the soldier stuff. There is that, but he doesn’t need any of that to be interesting. He has other things going. For example, he’s not really from this world. Well he is, but he’s definitely not from this society. He does not belong in the society we live in today. It is literally as he comes from some other time in history and was airdropped here into the current age. And he’s just walking around like that, with his alternative… he has views from another time and place and he has them hard core and for real so you can imagine my fascination. It’s endless. There is just no way I am not going to want to find out everything I can in a situation like this and I can’t imagine anyone who knows me thinking I would do anything but.”

When you meet someone who is OUT THERE are you attracted? Do you have Uranus mashed up with Venus or the 7th house?

Dharmaruci comments regarding the Soldier:

He wants the girl and what does he get… a book!

Dharmaruci - This struck me as funny. You’re so right! Have you ever seen the cartoon, Catscratch? There is this car (Gordon)… he’s the short stubby cat, pictured. He is a boy cat with one long claw… “THE CLAWWWWWW” he calls it and he is love with the Human Kimberly.

“Have you ever seen Catscratch, P?” the soldier asked.

“No, I don’t watch TV. I never see TV, ever. I just never turn it on.”

“Oh yeah. Well there is this cartoon… it’s my favorite cartoon. I love to watch it because it reminds me of me and you.” Continue reading The Soldier and P - Gordon and Human Kimberly of Nick’s Catscratch: 7th House Uranus and Venus Square Neptune

“Well if they’re lucky they will learn some astrology,” I said, regarding the Special Forces types who lurk here. “Actually, they won’t be able to help but learn some astrology. So anyway, I have to be careful what I say if I want to preserve the puzzle,” I said. I can’t use your name(s) in any form for example, considering how you love to yell and announce your name to anyone and everyone all over the world.”

“Yeah, I do like to do that. I love to tell people my name and I did announce it all over the world.”

“I know. God, do I ever know. So I can’t say anything to do with your names. Not even a single initial. And I can’t say where you’re from, that’s for sure. But listen. What if I were to tell them you were the best soldier in the world? And point out this is quantifiable,” I said.

Someone wrote me the other day asking if a 7th House Uranus meant they were “doomed”. I have a 7th house Uranus (or 8th depending on which house system you use) and have never felt doomed in any way. I will say my love relationships (7th house) manifest very quickly, and i n the case of the soldier and I… his natal Uranus (fast) is conjunct my Venus (love) so this energy definitely plays and this is how:

“Well we slept together the night we met,” he said.

“We did? I thought it was the next night. Didn’t I kick you out?”

“Yeah, you kicked me out. You kicked me out and I was leaving but then you decided you wanted me to stay and I wanted to stay so I stayed and shortly after that we decided to go to bed together so we did.” Continue reading The Soldier and P - 29: Uranus in the 7th House, Venus Conjunct Uranus in Synastry
