I have to go to court today and mind Saturn in Virgo which says, “Don’t blather”. This is against my nature with Jupiter rising, never mind Venus in Leo which is prone to drama but I have an angle.

In honor of today’s Moon in Leo, I am going “act” as if I am not a dramatic person but a muted, sort of colorless one.

Right now I am trying to tone down my clothing and believe me this is a challenge. I can’t believe I can’t wear my green clogs however I know I can’t wear my green clogs.

This is the same judge whose court I missed last time (I think). I am pretty motivated to make a smooth transition here, dang.

Judges generally like me and no wonder. Look how much trouble I go to for them.

Sometimes I have trouble writing these things because I am too personally affected to have perspective and today is a good example.

With today’s Moon in Leo conjunct my Venus I really think it is all about me, or more specifically, my hair. My hair should be wonderful today and sometimes that’s enough.

It’s plenty actually and if you were entertained (Leo) by reading this then I guess my job is done.

Venus in Leo kicks in to flatter herself, backed up by a boasting Mars Mercury conjunction in the bragging 9th house.

I moved around the trailer fixing the ends of the chains and threading while the soldier did the muscle part, tightening them down. One I had the chains done, I looked around and started in on the next logical task without asking him what to do. I felt proud when I realized I knew what to do via common sense and instinct so I decided to boast awhile. Continue reading Elsa P, Back In Boy-Land Yet Again: Venus In Leo Kicks In…

I was talking to the soldier…

“Well it’s intimidating to an extent. I feel like a child next to you. I feel very childlike in this relationship and there is nothing I can do.”

“You’re not a child in this relationship. What child?”

“Well that’s how I feel. I feel giddy. I don’t take it all as seriously as you do. You are solemn about all this where I take it more like a puppy. Yeah. I feel like a puppy around you, sort of boundless and gleeful,” I laughed. “I feel like I ought to leap on you so I do.”

“But I like that, P.”

“Yeah, I know. But I just want to warn you. If we are going to be a billion years together, I think you better figure to spend half of them waiting for me to grow up.”

He laughed.

“Because I feel nowhere near grown up. I am very far off from that in comparison to you and I don’t think change is coming anytime soon. I think I am having my puppyhood and it’s going to be a long one. You on the other hand are one hell of an old dog.”

I chock this up to Venus in Leo and trines from Jupiter. It’s very hard not to be obnoxious.

For example that fabled Catholic wedding? I could easily see myself bursting into laughter in the middle of mine if I were ever to have one. What would stop me? Not my extraordinary self-control, that’s for sure.

What about you?

I have a lot of Capricorn and to put Venus in Leo square Neptune in a chart like mine is a cosmic joke… or pure cruelty depending on how you look at it.

Neptune square Venus makes whatever appeal I have unbeknownst to me most days of the week so as a Capricorn, who always feels lowly I have to take it on faith (Neptune) there is something appealing about me (Venus). But my appeal is indefinable (Neptune) which Saturn hates. Leo rules entertainment by the way…

I’m talking to the soldier here…

“Well, you’re entertaining, I’ll say that. I am endlessly entertained by you,” he said. Continue reading Hapless Capricorn With Venus In Leo Square Neptune: Define “Entertaining” Why Don’t You?

The AstroBlogosphere is talking about the current transit of Venus through Leo, tied up with Neptune, here - raging universe, and here - neith.net

I have Venus in Leo in aspect to Neptune natally here’s my contribution:

Briiinnnng! Brinnnnnnng!

“Hello?”

“Morning, P. How are you this morning?”

“Oh, well I just got up and I am feeling so good and happy I think I’m illegal,” I said. “This is not fair to others,” added my Libra.

“How’s that? What’s not fair?”

“Well I got up and I saw myself in the mirror and I thought, Jesus Christ. Does your hair look good or what!” I laughed. “I’m going to the gym today and I don’t have to do anything but walk out the door. And I feel really good about this, you can imagine.”

“Are you shiny, P?”

“Yes! And I do think I’m lawless to feel this good when I am this old. Because lets face it! I’m am old as dirt and society does everything they can to make you feel like crap when you get this age. I’m supposed to feel lousy about myself and I am so happy I don’t feel like that at all. I feel wonderful.”

“You do? You like how you look, P?”

“Yes I do. I love the way I look and I realize I may be deluding myself but I can’t see how it matters. If if am old and ugly, it is unbeknownst to me. So I guess all those the surgeons can just go begging. I’m not going to be showing up at their office to get all sliced and diced.”

“Guess not. No way, P.”

“Right. And it strikes me that feeling confident about the way you look (Leo) is a gift from God (Neptune). And it doesn’t seem to matter if it’s real or not. If you believe (Neptune) you look good (Leo), then that’s it. You go out the door, beaming and nothing can stop you.”

It was heartening to see 30 people show up to brag on their hair. Now if we can just get people to feel the same about their bodies, their faces, their feet, hands and butts! How about it?

Any other mavericks out there? Anyone else think they look good enough the way they are?

Venus is leaving Cancer for Leo today… hooray!

This is the soldier talking. Or trying to, that is.

“I liked your straight hair, P. Your hair was great. Damn I liked your hair,” he said.

“What? What did you say? Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind? My hair is great. It’s great right now. Look at it! Its curly now and wonderful, have you noticed? Everybody loves my hair! People see this hair and they just wish it was theirs. Jeez, Elsa. Damn, you have good hair,” I said. “Damn, damn, damn how did you get so lucky as to have the hair that you do.”

He laughed.

“Look. You are entitled to your brain damage but don’t even think about making hair complaints when my hair is this good. I mean this great. Just look at it! Look at this hair! I have pretty much the best hair in the world so what you think you’re doing complaining about it is beyond me. You should have as good of hair as I do. You don’t, you know. My hair is better than yours. You hair is… well your hair is nothing next to mine. It’s plain, that’s what it is. Your hair is plain, there is nothing special about it at all so what you are doing bitching… well like I said. You best confine your brain damage to arenas that do not include having problems with my hair.”

He snorted.

“That’s right. Nobody has better hair than mine, that’s for sure! And this includes me! Even my hair… even my hair in another day and age is not going to be any better than the hair I have now because you cannot get better hair than this and that is all there is to it! I shook my curly-haired head and he laughed.

“Okay, let’s go,” I said. “Me and my great hair are ready to get a move on so how about it? Are we going or are we staying? My hair says, let’s go. My hair says lets go be seen with this good hair and you can bring your plain hair too if you want. I can’t wait until you have no hair, by the way. You will never hear the end of it and it will all be payback for what you did right now. Have the audacity to say or even think my hair could be improved. Is there shrapnel in your head too? I think there must be. And if not, I will put some there if you ever complain about my hair again!”

Do you have planets in Leo? Tell us about your hair. Come on man. Don’t be shy! Nothing wrong with confidence, bay-bee!

I was on the road, meeting the soldier after a 7 hour drive. I was driving state highways through sparsely populated states with no cell phone coverage. I finally emerged from the blackout about 15 minutes from where we were going to meet an dialed him.

“I’m 15 minutes out. Sorry about that, no cell phone.”

“That’s okay, P. Glad you’re okay. Are you hungry? I’m hungry. I am waiting for you so we can eat dinner. I’m starving”

I looked down at the pajama pants I was wearing. “Dinner? Okay, but I am in my pajamas.”

“Pajamas?”

“Yeah, pajamas. I decided to drive here in these because it’s cold. No skirt to drive in like normal. Pajamas!”

“Okay. Well then you’re going to want to…”

“No, I said. You’re starving. You don’t have to wait. I can go to dinner in my pajamas. I look good in these,” I said. “I look great, I look grand in pajamas, even coming off the road.”

He laughed.

“Yeah, don’t worry. My pajamas are red and it’s just the pants. I have a normal top so we can go straight to dinner. I’m going to look better than anyone else there anyway, pajamas or otherwise so don’t worry about it. You’re hungry? Then we’ll got straight to dinner and I’ll look terrific. Whet your appetite, I’ll be there in 10.” *click
