Reporting Drunk Drivers – Would You Do It?

August 29th, 2007 @ 4:24 pm by Elsa

Ask the collective…

report a drunk driverDriving around to meet the soldier I have noticed some states have a number you can call to report a drunk driver if you see them, These numbers on posted on the Interstate and my impression when I saw them is that I would mind my own business.

But after thinking about this over the last weeks it is occurring to me I actually have a responsibility to call in not only to save the person the drunk driver my hit but the the driver them self and the passengers in the car which could very well be a bunch of teens. I will have teenagers before I know it, I am sure I would sure appreciate someone calling to report the drunk car my kid was driving or riding in… before catastrophe. I also wonder how I would feel if I did not make the call and learned later of the deaths.

This is a Saturn in Virgo question of course. Is it your responsibility to be a do-gooder? Are we all supposed to police (Saturn) traffic (Mercury/Virgo)? What do you think?

If I saw an obvious drunk driver on the highway and had to option to report them I would...

Astrology in Real Life…

i dream of jeanieThis is the soldier explaining how he feels about the new videos which he has not see “a one of them” as he put. I don’t know what part of his chart to attribute this to. The whole thing I guess. Scorpio and a t-square in the Cardinal signs…

“Yeah, I’m insanely jealous. You don’t need some psychic to tell you that. If we were Eskimos I’d have you in the biggest fur coat in the world with just your nose sticking out,” he said.

I laughed.

“And if we were Arab, I would have the extra large thing for you to wear.”

“Jeez.”

“And I’d have a harem too. But the only reason I’d have the others around is so they could keep an eye on you! All of you make sure no one looks at her. That’s what I’d tell them.”

I snorted.

“And none of that I Dream of Jeanie stuff… Jeanie costume and see through veils kind of thing. Your thing to wear can be made of terry cloth and terry cloth only!”

“Good thing you don’t dictate my life or it would be scratchy.”

I wonder how many men feel exactly like him but would never admit it. What do you think?

Astrology Today – Saturn Saves The Day?

August 29th, 2007 @ 4:31 am by Elsa

My eye on the sky…

astrology saturnVenus in Leo is opposite Neptune in Aquarius but outside of that, the rest of the planets are involved in this massive Grand Cross in the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).

Saturn is still in Leo but only for a few more days and it is close enough to the Sun in Virgo to be pulled into this whirlwind and it occurs to me this is where the relief lies. In other words, Saturn will be arriving just in time so why wait to apply its principles?

The mutable signs are concerned with communication, Saturn with control and responsibility so in other words, watch your mouth! And I don’t mean that sassy. As my daughter said when she was four, “Think big thoughts”.

Hard to argue that, and this can be done even if the wind is whipping around yes? Well it can you’ve got control and if you’ve got no control, with Saturn in Virgo you’ll be charged with getting some so may as well get on the stick!



Aries Woman Unhappy With Passive Aggressive Husband: Pluto Transit

August 29th, 2007 @ 3:44 am by Elsa

Dear Elsa,

My husband and I aren’t seeing eye to eye lately, and I don’t know what to make of it. I thought everything was fine, but I think that I might have been in denial. Part of the story is that we broke up for a few months last year, and I don’t think we recovered from that very well.

For instance, he hasn’t touched me sexually in over a year, saying that just the thought of me being with another man “kills it” for him. I DID have a few dates while we were broken up, but as far as he’s concerned, nothing happened. I don’t understand this particular argument from him, because he cheated on me numerous times while we were together. Lately, he’s been actively seeking sex from me, and he gets frustrated when I seem less interested than I have in years past. I don’t understand how I’m supposed to be all hot and bothered now when he wasn’t touching me for over a year.

Then, there’s the instances where I upset or frustrate him somehow over something as minute as not answering him in the way he wants, or as fast as he wants. He tells me he should just leave, or that I should just leave, that we should just “call it”, and that he “quits”. He says he’s not going to ask me to stay anymore, etc., etc. Generally, I feel that this is mostly passive-aggressive b.s., but sometimes I think he just means it.

He tells me all the time that I am miserable in the relationship, but I don’t feel miserable! I don’t understand any of this. I feel so lost and unsure of what to do. To top things off, he asked me to quit my job earlier this year so that we could spend more time together (he works from home), and now he wants to get an office outside the home! I feel like he just wants to get away from me but at the same time, keep me tied to him. I just don’t know what to do.

Most of the time, we get along fine…we don’t argue or bicker. He’s a wonderful father to our kids. But, dammit, I’m tired of being told I’m miserable and that I should just leave every time he gets annoyed! Anytime I try to talk to him, he just blows up, so it’s not like I can even discuss any of my feelings w/him because he’s incapable of keeping a reign on his temper. I feel like Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon – “I’m too old for this shit!” What do I do, Elsa? Are there any options outside of “sucking it up” or leaving.. do I have to live the rest of my life like this?

libra charmDear Bereft,

Do you realize you have been writing me with this same problem for last five years? It’s the same husband, same wife and same dynamic. It is the same list of good vs evil and the same lack of resolution due the extreme indecisiveness on the part of both parties. The only thing that changes is how you sign your name. Basically you have morphed from “Unsure” to “Bereft” so that’s notable.

As to the problem in your case, it’s your Moon conjunct Pluto in Libra opposing your planets in Aries and you simply can’t decide (Libra) whether to think of yourself (Aries) or your partner and family (Moon in Libra). And your question is, “Do I have to live the rest of my life like this?” The answer is no, of course. But I do think it’s going to take an act of God to separate the two of you and one may well be coming.

Pluto will hit Capricorn in January of 2008 and aspect your half your chart and it’s safe to say this will put an end to the status quo. Thing is it’s not going to be due some small shift or new way of seeing things. You are looking at something more drastic and I don’t mean to scare you because this does not mean “bad”. It means “good” because like you say, you really don’t want to live the rest of your life this, right?

Good luck.
