The soldier and I on the phone last night -

“Well we are both intensely jealous, P. We have that in common.”

“I know,” I said. “I’m even worse than you, I think.”

“No, we’re equally bad. I am a jealous as you, believe me,” he said. Continue reading Mercury in Aries vs Mercury in Libra With Mars Involved: Hey Jealousy The Green-Eyed Monster

From Monday night’s Moon in Scorpio. This is the soldier trying to make it through my book:

“P, I’m reading this and my God but you’re bold.”

“Bold?”

“Bold. How can you write this? How can you admit… people think like this but they don’t tell anyone.Everyone is going to read this you know. Everyone.”

“What? Everyone? Who is everyone? And how should I care about everyone when I don’t even know who they are? I don’t care who reads that and what are you talking about anyway? What is upsetting you?” Continue reading Mercury in Aries vs Mercury in Libra: Under the Scorpio Moon, With Mars in Taurus

The Moon is in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter (and square Uranus). Moon Jupiter in Sagittarius is not exactly associated with being shot by police, however it is super optimistic and a gambler.

In the scene Dirty Harry asks, “…you’ve got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” And I have a Jupiter Moon contact in my chart as does everyone else in my family and anyone one of us standing in front of Dirty Harry’s gun when he said that would have thought, ‘Yes. Yes, I am.”

And oddly enough we would have had a chance to get away by the sheer virtue of thinking we could, which is very different than thinking you can’t and therefore rolling up into a ball.

With Uranus squaring the Moon Jupiter conjunction, an unexpected stroke of luck can almost be expected today, however it does not relieve us of our responsibilities and blah, blah, blah.

So in other words, once I escape Dirty Harry’s bullet there, I am going to still have to make my kids dinner, mow the lawn and clean the house.

Dear Taurus,

You are probably right about the premature ejaculation but I can’t see where it matters. Fact is, you can’t force anybody to do anything and attempting to is a fruitless pursuit – and I’ll prove it to you.

What if you get this guy to say, “You’re right! I do have this premature ejaculation problem. I am plagued with it!” What do you think the result of that would be… do you think he would call you more often? Want to see you more often? ::shakes head:: No. Matter of fact – if you win, you lose! Because he’ll feel like crap! People have their defenses up for a reason. It’s because they need them.

For example, you have a stellium in Aries, which is a Cardinal sign. All the Cardinal signs are into control, which is essentially what you are trying to do with this man. You also have Saturn (oppression, judgment, control) in Scorpio and you especially want control of this man but it will never work.

If you get him to admit this, what will you want him to admit next? Can’t you find a more worthwhile project? Try to control your own desire to control, because this other way is going to get you nowhere.

Good luck.

Paris Hilton on Larry King last night:

Alessandra Standley of the New York Times writes:

“Mr. King did look surprised when the star of the reality show, “The Simple Life,” denied, with a straight face, ever abusing alcohol or taking drugs or living a hedonistic lifestyle. “I just like to go out and have fun with my friends, ” she said. ” I’m an Aquarius. We’re social people…”

Lilly asks on the Mars and Sex blog:

“… astrological signs, aspects, etc. often run in families. I’ve often wondered if some people get hornier at certain times of the year because (if they or their partner conceived then) it would produce a child of a particular sign (or with a certain aspect)? What do you think?”

Lilly, I don’t know. But since I feel very strongly that we choose our parents, I would guess it is the soul (the baby) making the decision when to come in and when the parents choose to have sex has little to do with it. For example, my daughter was three weeks early and my son three weeks late. And I know you’re a mother so I bet you agree, once you get these kids it’s very obvious there are no mistakes.

So are humans on this plane smart enough to see all and make these inspired matchings between themselves and their children? Somehow I doubt it.

Anyone else with an opinion?

“See, P, you have always been my only connection. You are the only way I can connect to where I am and what is going on. It was like this when we met. I have never belonged in this world as it is until I met you. From the minute I met you I had a place I could go that made sense.”

“Now see, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You have always seemed normal to me. Oh, you’re a wing nut, but you know. In a good way. You’re a happy freak.”

“Yeah well that’s true. But I don’t understand what’s going on around me and I never have. I’ll give you an example. When I first moved here to the United States I could speak English. But I never did and I didn’t understand the nuance. So we got this house and we were moving in and I looked up at the sign and it said, Blah Blah Drive. Except it was abbreviated. It said D, R, period.” Continue reading Eccentric? Focused? You Decide

I have no idea what you all will take from this, but I will tell you one of the main things I see. This is the difference between someone who has a bunch of trines in their chart (me) as compared to someone with hard aspects (him). The soldier and I:

“Well it is hard for me to understand,” I said. “You tell me no one can get near you. That’s what you say.”

“It’s true. I don’t want anyone in my body space, P. Get in my body space and I’ll hurt you.”

“Yeah, I understand that but I can’t see it. Not now and not ever. You have always been completely open with me. I could or would never imagine you have any sort of issue with this. I am near you all the time and you are completely relaxed.”

“Well that’s the phenomenon, isn’t it? I keep telling you, P, no one affects me like you. You completely disarm me. I turn to mush the minute you’re in the room. I always have and no one else has ever affected me in such a way. I don’t like it you know.” Continue reading Astrology and Life Experience: A Chart of Trines vs A Chart Of Squares and Oppositions
