My son and I both have an emphasis on Aries and Libra energy and it’s been interesting to note we approach this puzzle thing in the same way. That is, we are working on this project both together and separate.

At times we work together but we are both drawn to complete the challenge (Mars) and achieve the goal (Strong Saturn) so we have a hard time walking by this thing. Consequently we are both steadily working all day.

He takes a break to play one of his Christmas computer games independently. I do same to post a blog and then we’re back on task.

We also flip back and forth on the axis of the opposition. For example, he started the Mountain Dew can and then offered it to me while he started on the top corner there.

Being highly mutable, I go round and round and am responsible for all the little bits you see. In contrast he is fixed and so responsible for the large block that is completed.

If you have kids, how easy is it to see yourself in them? If you don’t have kids, can you see how you act like your parents?

Sagittarius is associated with religion, Pluto with snakes…

“Yeah, she calls me up when she’s got snakes,” the soldier said. “She sees a snake on her porch, couple of them and she calls me. She’s got a son but she still calls me.”

“Not surprised.”

Engaged To Be Married, Should She Confess Her Indiscretions?

Watch Your Step Because She Is – Scorpio Mars in Action

The Moon in Leo is square debilitated Venus in Scorpio and the collective pretty much has PMS across the board.Neptune is involved so no one knows who to blame, however most are certain they are the victim rather than the perpetrator even though they may be sorely mistaken.

Not that you should try to un-confuse anyone because it would be as fruitful as arguing with a drunk.It occurs to me I should make a drunken 1 minute video of debauchery today. That would suit this configuration. However I can’t (poor me / victim) because my son is home on Christmas break so you’ll all be spared. Er… see (Leo) my endless compassion (Neptune)?

Ha ha ha

“Yeah, I told him,” the soldier said, regarding his boss / friend / nemesis / politeness trainer.”And?”

‘And he said he saw my son on TV.”

“What? He saw him?”

“Yeah.”

“You didn’t tell him that was going to be on did you?”

“No, he just was watching TV and he saw it.”

“He must have recognized your name and put it together. Yeah. Well you must have been glad to hear that,” I said. “I’d give him some credit for this. Don’t you think he deserves some sort of credit for picking up on that? I do…”

“Oh, I suppose,” said the rhino with the balloon tied to his nose. “I suppose I’ll have to be nicer to the bastard.”

“He’s not a bastard.”

“He is a bastard, but he could be a bigger bastard so I will try to be a little nicer to him.”

“Good enough.”

“But I will still kick his ass if I don’t see you this weekend. I am going to get irritable.”

“Are you irritable?”

“No, but I can get that way real quick.” (Aries)

The soldier has his north node in Libra in 7^th house (double whammy). His node is conjunct my Mars Mercury in Libra and I am pretty sure I am to pull him towards relationship and politeness.

Remember the boss he wrote SCREW YOU to and then wound up apologizing?

He is pretty much partnered with this guy so:

On Saturday…

“Did you wish him a Merry Christmas?” I asked.

“No. Hell no, I didn’t wish him a Merry Christmas. I don’t care what kind of Christmas he has,” the soldier said.

People are back to work and the gal I had to ‘slap” in that big meeting (The Whirlwind) is still thinking she can angle. She called me this morning, slipped a lie into the conversation which I imagine she expects to grow fruit which she can harvest in a week or so. Such a dilemma.

It’s a dilemma because I have enough problems without feeling responsible to monitor this gal’s misdeeds especially when I know for a fact there are other’s on her case. Another person, high up is so disgusted with her, he bypasses her completely and goes straight to her boss with every issue. He’s on his own when he does this though I am not sure she knows it because every issue has my name on it. Anyway, it reminds me of the game, Twister.

Venus (relationships) is in Scorpio (healing) square Neptune (magic).

With his Sun, Moon and ascendant in Venus-ruled signs, my son gets introduced to this concept.

“Do you know what a metaphor is?” I asked my son as I turned pieces of our 2000 piece puzzle face up.

“Yep. I know metaphor, simile…”

“Yeah. Well that’s what this is puzzle is for you and I. After what’s got on around here, we have a big mess. We really have a mess just like this puzzle, there are pieces everywhere but we are not going to leave it that way.”

He was quiet.

“No, we’re going to get this thing together and you and I will get together in the process, it will be like magic,” I said.

“Okay.”

“Okay then you watch.”

Anyone else got something going on this theme?

The Moon is loose in Leo. That’s right. No lousy aspects so hallelujah!

It’s a good day to play. This will keep you aligned with the upbeat energy. Other activities are fraught and though you may have to deal with someone of them, there is a definitely creative outlet so use it.

I am doing a 2000 piece puzzle with my son. We’re both very keen on puzzles.

“Why couldn’t you have just gotten me a board game?” he asked.

“I already told you. I wanted something we could do together.”

“You could play a board game with me.”

“I already explained why we are doing this. What? Do you want a challenging life or an easy one?”

“Challenging, of course.”

I was surprised. “Really? Why do you want a challenging life?’

“Don’t go all fortune cookie on me, Mom,” he said.

My son is “eight slash nine” now. He is 8, but he is a year ahead in school. He’s decided the kids in his class do not need to know this (Mars in Scorpio) so he is 8/9. “I am 8 when I am home and 9 when I am at school and when my birthday comes I will be 9 slash 10.

I didn’t argue. His chart is almost entirely cardinal and he runs his own life.
