I know a gal, she owns an upscale bed and breakfast type place with an art gallery attached. She is exudes the Venusian qualities and is having trouble leaving comments on my blog. Apparently they are going into the black hole that may or may not be the spam filter but in whatever case, she’s having Neptune problems figuring it all out and believe me, I meant well when I decided to help her out.

Here’s a good bit for Mars (anger) square Venus (love):

I have strong feelings about single parenthood and they are getting stronger every day.  There has been an enormous influx of male energy since the soldier arrived and the arrived full time and the benefits to my son are absolutely stunning.

As a woman, I have little knowledge of the secret lives of boys. I am finding out that it does not matter how sophisticated I may (or may not) be… I am not a man means I am not a man means I am not a man.

So now when the soldier shuttles my son and his friend between the houses he is privy to the fact their art teacher has a tattoo on her chest and the boys wonder if it goes all the way to her “thingies”. Think my son would ever mention such a thing to me?  ::smiles::

Here’s another for the current and jarring Venus (Women) in Aries (detriment) in aspect to debilitated Mars (Men) in Cancer. It continues this conversation re: the girl trucker… Venus Tempts Mars

The sky is way too hard core to try to deal with so let’s not.

Mars debilitated in Cancer is squaring Venus who loathes being in Aries which amounts to love fights so here you go, a song for the times with amusing (appropriate) images to go along:

Love Stinks!

“I am amazed at how different it is for my son with you here,” I told the soldier. “You only had to be around for a few hours for it to become very clear how much he lacks… there is no male energy here.”

He didn’t say anything.

“For example he’s got a problem with this pack of boys. He’s struggling with that and I mention it to you and you explain this whole thing… how one chicken gets pecked by all the other chickens. You outline bullying and know how to combat it. Basically you know what to do in a pack of boys where I don’t know much about being in a pack of boys. And even if I do have some idea I still don’t know how to handle the situation as a boy.”

Dear Motor,

I definitely wouldn’t tell my current lover about my fantasy lover - the man I want more than I want him - unless I wanted to end the relationship. People often say they want information like this but if you give it to them, the (eventual) result is generally the demise of the relationship.

Beyond that, this is your burden not his so I don’t think you should pawn it off on him. It is you with Venus and Mars in Aries who wants to conquer the challenge. It is you with Uranus in aspect to Venus and Mars and prone to these sudden attractions - impulsive love that comes on like a power surge.

Now if you are right and this man you’re hot for does not want you… and if I am right and telling your current man will cause a problem and hurt him deeply… where does that leave you?

Well if it were me, I would masturbate - and I mean I would masturbate a blue streak - until I got this out of my system and furthermore with a chart like yours, I would consider it “maintenance”. I would also cut contact with the guy if you are really serious about keeping the relationship you have.

Good luck.

When Venus squares Mars, beauty is harmed!

My son went to school today, my daughter starts tomorrow and I snuck off to my beloved gym for a workout and a steam room. I had this exfoliate… used it, so obviously I needed a shower but they had half of them blocked off for repair. Badly needed repair! Because the first shower I tried to use on the other side had no handle and the only other available shower had no head which meant the water shot out in a hard core stream like a needle.

Now I could have waited for another shower, but as I’ve mentioned there are a lot of Asian women that go to my gym and they rule the bathing area. They have their rituals which I respect and it is well and widely known they stay in the shower for at least a half hour if not twice that, so I decided to brave this needle thing and wash the sand from my body.

And it wasn’t so bad. It wasn’t as bad as you’d think it would be. I either blunted the hard stream with the top of my head or my hand (mars mercury) but boy when I got out of there I discovered an unintended consequence when I could not get a (wide toothed) comb through my hair. Because guess what?

If you point a hard stream of water into the center of your head it twists your hair into a freakish knotty birds nest mess so I spent the next 15 minutes trying to comb through the tangles. Dang!

How is today’s Venus square Mars treating you?

“I can’t get no satisfaction,
I can’t get no satisfaction.
‘Cause I try and I try and I try and I try.
I can’t get no, I can’t get no.”
(m. jagger/k. richards)

Venus is square Mars today. Many years ago I attended a workshop by astrologer, David Pond. He explained that when Mars was square Venus a person would go out and hunt something (Mars) and then get it home and think “Ugh”. Ha ha ha. What a puzzle.

With this aspect exact in the sky today and with Venus retrograde and both Venus and Mars in signs they hate I would not be expecting people to be particularly satisfied and I have an example.

I’m very glad I have no consultations scheduled today. Because no doubt the person would be unhappy with the goods. And sure enough I had a gal cancel. She hunted me, encountered me briefly and went, “ick”. And you know what?

I don’t blame her and I don’t blame me. I blame Venus square Mars in the signs of their detriment and I don’t worry about it. People will be satisfied again, just not today.

When it comes to attracting sex there seems to be two kinds of people. Everyone has heard of the guy who lacks for dates. He just can’t seem to find a women, right up until he marries! As soon as someone puts a ring on his finger, women show up in droves and this a story as old as time. The fact some woman wants this man, makes other women want this man.

Now I am in the opposite situation. When I am partnered, men take one look at me and seem to know I am unavailable. There are exceptions (like the Salesman) but they are few and far between. For the most part, men (and women) look at me and can tell there is nothing there. There is no void to fill so they take their eyes off me and continue to scan the room for someone who is “open” or unfilled and unfulfilled.

But as soon as there is a void, LOOK OUT! My pheromones start to build up and it doesn’t take long. A week? Two weeks? Next thing I know I am crawling with prospects. Men, women, librarians of both sexes, small animals, you name it. Continue reading Astrology and Pheromones, Sex Appeal and Attractiveness: Venus and Mars In The Natal Chart
