The sky looks like that today — >

Couple of kites, a mystic rectangle, a t-square, couple oppositions…

Makes me think of the spectacular babies being born. Very shiny.

Intrigue, sex, earthiness, virginity… snap, crackle and pop!

See the glory here -> today’s chart

Dear Gemini,

When I read this I was baffled. Why would someone put up with this, I wondered. And then I look at the charts and all is explained. Since you’re a thinker and you know some astrology, I’ll take you through my thought process. It’s no better than yours, other than it’s detached.

You have a 10th house Venus in Cancer in exact aspect to Saturn and here you are stuck trying to grow up this baby. But how could he be a baby with Saturn square his Sun and Moon, I thought? That’s impossible. I decided I’d better look at his chart but I also wanted more information as to how you are standing this. And when I saw your Moon in Aquarius opposite Uranus, I figured that was it. Intellectually you don’t think this should bother you.

Then I pulled up his chart and sure enough: Saturn square the Sun and Moon in Leo… so he’s not a baby after all, he’s a child. ::Laughs:: And he has Cancer too, but mostly he looks like he really likes women, number one… and needs their attention desperately, number 2. In other words, he’s dependent which sort of works for Venus in Cancer…

But there is more to this story. Your man is a Sagittarius rising, with Mars in Sadge in close aspect to Uranus and guess what? No one is going to tell this guy what to do. He’s a walking contradiction. He’s an oppressed free person and since he refuses to oppress himself, it looks like that’s your job. Because guess what? It’s very simple.

QUIT GAWKING AT WOMEN!

So is he going to do this? The Magic 8 Ball says “Highly Doubtful”.
Are you going to learn to love riding in a car with a man staring at other women? “NO”.

How long will you put up with this? Unknown.

Congrats on the not smoking and good luck!

My son continues to have his terrible year and yesterday he found himself in circumstances where it occurred to him his mother may have betrayed him.

Now his mother did not betray him and he would not expect me to betray him so all the more painful for him to find himself unexpectedly and inexplicably in a situation where the most likely explanation was, ‘My mother did / told what I asked her not to… and now here I am, up a creek.” And that’s pretty brutal for an 8 year old, especially a serious-minded one like my son. What does it mean when / if your mother betrays you? Continue reading Sun Conjunct Saturn @ 8 Years Old – Betrayed By His Mother?

I am almost done with my stint at maintaining my pal’s mega-blog and it’s been a whirlwind. When you are responsible for posting 20-25 blogs a day, the last thing you want is a power outage, never mind one that lasts for 18 hours. But what I really noticed over these last few days was that mutable grand cross.

The mutable signs mutate of course. They adapt and change hats. And I can tell you that writing advice is one thing, doing consultations is another. Making videos is a third thing and writing to entertain, a fourth.

Being the behind-the-scenes gerbil on the treadmill that keeps one of these huge blogs going is a fifth thing and being a parent is a sixth. Being a lover is a seventh thing and a patient with a lousy back is an eighth.

Being a friend is a ninth thing and being a frustrated utility customer, a tenth. Editing the Top Ten Sources Of Astrology News is an eleventh thing, being someone’s 155mm cannon a twelfth.

This is how I spent the prelude to the Harvest Moon. How about you?

Violently Traumatized Family Trying To Heal: Venus Conjunct Neptune in Scorpio

“Pretty Good, Not Bad, I Can’t Complain…” That’s a John Prine quote.

Mercury and Mars are at 29 degrees in Air signs. By tomorrow night these planet will shift into Water signs so breathe while you can.

Venus is moving out of opposition with Neptune, Mars is moving our of opposition with Pluto and have you noticed? Less projection!

On top of that, the Moon is well aspected in Aries so a good day to be independent… enjoy!

Dear Taurus,

I don’t think you can. When you sleep with your married boss, you pretty much kill your opportunities at work right there. Even if you wind up married to the guy (and this will never happen), you will still be the talk of office, shunned and so forth. In other words, if you play you lose. You’ve played so all you can do at this point is cut your losses, which look to be significant.

Now you may love this guy but he definitely does not love you. He is using you. He initiated the affair with a lie and is exploiting your need for a “hug” and a father figure to get what he wants: sex.

Meanwhile you seem to be completely oblivious around what is moral… and arrogant beyond belief to call an entire country of people “unattractive”. It’s mind-boggling actually. What is unattractive is your boss’s lack of integrity. What is unattractive is your mindless justification of your behavior and the idea you would ask me how to come out of this situation on top, as if you deserve that.

Now you may think I am being mean but I’ll tell you something. As long as you remain this shallow, you are going to be ripe for the picking for men like your boss who wish to manipulate and control you. Considering the hard aspects from Saturn and Pluto in your chart, if you want to progress, you are simply going to have to look at your own face in the mirror and ask yourself, “Just what the hell am I doing here?” And then take steps to make things right and get your power back.

Beyond that, I would say you are 25 years old and you can come out of this okay. But only by paying the price and learning your lesson big time.

Good luck.

The soldier, a Taurus and P… confused over the weekend under the Venus Neptune opposition.

“Well I love you,” I said.

“I know that. I know you love me, P.”

“How? How do you know that?”

“You got me this pizza,” he said.

“What?”

“I know you love me ‘cause you got me a pizza,” he said with a snort. “Men are simple, P.”

Trouble Maintaining Relationships Of All Kinds: Stellium in Virgo with a Cancer Moon, Cancer Ascendant

Calling All Pisces!!! Are You As Horrified As I Am With These Disgusting Fish?

Besides her happy nurse, my doctor is pretty grand. We like each other and always end up exchanging information and perspective. This time I told her about the happiness study / the set point of happiness (The Psychology of Happiness) and she told me about some of her patients.

“I have some people who have just been through the ringer. They’ve had cancer or something like that so they’ve really just seen so many doctors and been through so much. And they’ll be in for something and say I’m running late and they have to wait. They are always so nice. And I just figured it was because they’d seen so many doctors. But maybe they’re just that kind of person,” she said.

“That’s what I think.”

“Because others come in and there is nothing wrong with them. Something minor and they are just awful. And I want to say, what? Can’t you see I am taking care you here?”

I told her I used to think that people who faced life-threatening illness or had been in a terrible accident always had an enhanced perspective but I’d learned this was not the case.

“When something like that happens… when a life goes acute all it does is make the person more of who they are. So if they are transcendent, they will become more transcendent. But if they are otherwise, they will become more of whatever that is. And I think you can change your tendency through effort but I used to think that a heart opening was automatic after intense experience. Boy was that misguided. Happy people stay that way and miserable people stay their way. So if I ever come in here whining?”

“I won’t worry about you. I’ll say, oh she’s going to be fine. Her set point is high.”

“Yeah. I guess I’ll be smiling just like this when they put me in my grave.”

What in your chart do your blame or credit?
