The other day the soldier was in a flatbed semi loaded with steel. He thought he might have a motorcycle gang chasing him and was very thrilled with the prospect.

Now you couldn’t make up a more male (Mars) scenario and while it might make some uncomfortable, fact is the soldier likes to fight. And I don’t judge this. I know that violence exists in our world and in fact it erupts whether you like it or not.

Dan wrote on Elsa P and the Cat Burglar:

“I read a short story once about how life’s journey was like a rock in stream. Falling from a cliff above with sharp and jagged edges. Crashing and bouncing its way to the stream below. Where it embarks on a journey of tumbling and rolling with the aid of the stream soon the rough edges yield to change. After a while the rock becomes smooth and polished vastly different than when it began the journey. In that regard, I believe the experience of life changes people on some level. You don’t swing helmets at people anymore, do ya?”

I’ve never understood violence and humiliation as humour. Today I watched a video on the nets where a woman was humiliated. Comments on the video were overwhelmingly of the flavour that while they’d be mad as hell if it happened to them they had laughed their asses off. I also don’t get the whole Three Stooges I-hit-him-in-the-head-with-a-hammer school of funny.

I think it speaks to a lack of compassion for others. I think it’s pretty pervasive in our society, and I’d bet there’s a marker for it in individual charts. Suppose there are markers for everything: isn’t that what reading a natal chart is all about? Markers, for compassion, lack of compassion, maybe markers for killing.

From the Financial Times: Men bear the brunt of US jobs lost

Sarah O’Connor writes:

“The US recession has opened up the biggest gap between male and female unemployment rates since records began in 1948, as men bear the brunt of the economy’s contraction.

Men have lost almost 80 per cent of the 5.1m jobs that have gone in the US since the recession started, pushing the male unemployment rate to 8.8 per cent. The female jobless rate has hit 7 per cent.”

I feel a sense of responsibility to put this kind of stuff up here seeing as so many single women / single mothers read here and so few of us have any idea how to defend ourselves. You read a tip on this subject here or there and you never know when it might come in handy. The soldier has been here a year now and I have been transformed.

People read about my son getting shot with a BB gun last night.. The comments were passionate and the opinions diverse, ranging from “SUE THEM”, the “boys will be boys”.

I consider this an illustration of the Saturn opposition to Uranus in the sky in that there are shocking difference (Uranus) around what the reality of this situation is along with what “the right thing to do” (Saturn) would be.

Judging by the comments on the Astrology and Psychology of Stalking piece, it seems this is very common. Though I’ve not been stalked offline, I have definitely had more than my share of Mars energy run amok… like the guy who broke into my house and got in bed with me. There was another who inexplicably took off his pants in my living room (I was supposed to be showing him the house which was for sale though I was not an agent) and I had another guy… an old man I’d met at a company picnic show up at my house.

Great question, thank you. Sometimes I say these things, knowing they are home truths but not knowing no one knows what I am talking about!

First, I did not specify “back”. It has nothing to do with being stabbed in the back. I am talking about being stabbed, period. Because what happens when someone stabs you?

What happens is there is an energy exchange. If someone hits you, same thing. If someone oppresses you in any way they are giving you energy. If someone kisses you, same thing. They are transferring their energy to you and at the point they do the energy is yours and therefore it is yours to use.

Y’all know how much I love to talk about the Hall Of Mirrors and the Pisces, Neptune saint / sinner phenomena is related and just as interesting. Yesterday I did the video about how I would defend myself and my family using violence. Typically this kind of aggressiveness is frowned upon, particularly if it’s a woman. I wrote about this in the comments.

When I took that self defense class, stories were told of women who fended off rapists in real life. Maybe they talked their way out or in one case there was a local woman who used one of the techniques taught in the class. She got the guy off her when he was already on top her, raping her and you might note that this meant she was clearly acting in self defense.

Now those women were held up as heroes but what about the woman (me) who sees the man in her bedroom, knows he intends to harm her and shoots him in the head before he can act? I guess she’s a cold-hearted bitch. I guess she is hard core, she’s probably crazy and this makes no sense.
