Since the last post on the speed of the planets was so well received I’ll try to post something similar. People seemed to grasp the idea of the Sun (ego) being in one sign, Mercury (mind) in another so I thought I’d try to stay on this track and build.

Some of the planets form natural pairs that balance each other. The Sun and the Moon, Venus and Mars and Jupiter and Saturn (expansion and restriction). I thought we’d look at Venus and Mars which basically shows what you like (Venus) and how you go about getting it (Mars).

Accidental Research Regarding A Man and His Mars

This is from 2007.

This is from last year. It’s a great diversion if you’ve got 8 minutes. This is a terrific video, the astrology is awesome and suits the day…

I love the gal in this, Karla Devito. She is a Gemini with her sun conjunct Jupiter and she sings of being “doubly blessed”if you can believe that. She also has Mars in Gemini (a Mars Mercury exchange) and she has Mercury in Gemini conjunct Mars so a double whammy.

A Taurus wrote to remark how simple love was when he was young. I got to thinking about this in terms of astrology and now I wonder how others feel. Is love simple? Or complex?

What do you think and how does Venus look in your chart?

“Love is rarer than genius itself, - And friendship is rarer than love.” Charles Péguy, 1873-1914

Rather different take on love then the modern concept of there being plenty of everything for all.

Which perspective do you agree with (if either) and where is your Venus?

Venus rules love and money. Venus in your chart show how you feel about these two things… as well your experiences in these realms.

Some time ago I wrote and did some videos on the concept of what I call “currency” when it comes to love. All people do not love the same things… by a shot. What you do love can be considered your currency. Just imagine someone showing up with to court you and win your love. Their success depends on what currency they have to offer.

Last night I was writing HQ and the Mechanic about various things and I found myself stating that our lives had made it virtually impossible for both the soldier and I to be in normal relationships.

In both our cases we might manage this… the appearance of normalcy but only for a very short time before things get disrupted. It has always been this way for both of us, together or separate and as you might guess we both have Uranus mashed up with Venus.

So I slept on that and then woke up today and had a conversation with satori. It’s very clear to me there is no sense blaming anyone for what is shown in YOUR chart which I think many (I really mean, most) people do. They think if only I had this other different person, things would be different only to get in the next relationship and have the exact same things constellate.

“Yeah, well this woman is just busting out all over. She is a pure Venus figure. She’s like a goddess and when she’s in the room every woman there knows damned well there isn’t a man on the planet would isn’t going to think about her and yeah. She is very curvy. I think men are subliminally attracted to that - they can’t help if even if skinny is the current fad.”

He agreed.

“Yeah some people out there are archetypes and she’s like that. You’re also like that. You are a Mars archetype, every thought turns to war and war tactics.”

This is for today’s stellium in Libra…

I was just writing a pal, I told her I did not like men who were prettier than me.  I have been saying this since I was a teenager.  Body builders and the like who like their body better than mine are just plain OUT! George Clooney? Yuck!

As I hit, ’send” I realized I also don’t like men who are cultured and civilized beyond my level and since I am as RAW as they come, I guess there is really no choice but for me to be with a Special Forces solider who sleeps on rocks and eats bugs!

Ha ha ha! Apparently I am just hotter than hot, all fired up but I still want to be the girl, damn it!

What kind of “other person” will you take a pass on every time?
