titantic sinking movieTalking to the soldier a couple days ago…

“We’re talking about death on my blog,” I said. “People seem pretty interested.”

“What about death?”

“Oh some people are afraid, others not. I am going to ask about the Titanic. The movie, I mean. You saw it didn’t you?”

“Yeah.”

“Well at the end there the ship is going down and everyone on it has to decide what they are going to do. Some of them are heroic, some of them not and so forth. So the question is, what would you do in those circumstances? So what would you do?”

Outtakes and various other sundries..

Star Treks: New York has everything under the sun. Match your zodiac sign to all that the city has to offer

Lawrence Grecco writes regarding Capricorn:

“Your life tends to get better as you get older and as you slowly climb your way to the top of the metaphorical mountain. In New York City, you have the opportunity to indulge in your desire to reach the summit by rock-climbing at the Field House at Chelsea Piers (Pier 62, 23rd Street and the Hudson River, 212-336-6500 x 6577). Once at the top, you can power-lunch with local masters of the universe at two of their favorite Midtown feeding grounds, the ‘21′ Club (21 W. 52nd St. between Fifth and Sixth avenues, 212-582-7200) and the Grill Room in The Four Seasons restaurant (99 E. 52nd St. between Lexington and Park avenues, 212-754-9494). Structure and foundation are crucial to a Capricorn, so visiting any of this city’s impressive architectural wonders such as the Chrysler Building at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue-a soaring example of the Art Deco style-is recommended…”

My eye on sky

scorpioY’all new the easy times wouldn’t last forever and today we have conflict between the Moon in Scorpio and the stellium in Aquarius.

Basically one person is aloof and spiritual (delusional?) and projecting their shadow onto the other poor bastard.

At least that is one description, I haven’t got all day.

Her Fiance Does Not Set Boundaries for His Children: Astrology-Based Advice

January 30th, 2008 @ 4:46 am by Elsa

Dear Elsa,

My fiance is a wonderful man. And we have a such a great relationship… except when it comes to his children. Michael and his ex-wife have done very little to set boundaries for the children – whether regarding bed times, what food they can eat (and when), their language, and their bad behavior during the rare times they don’t get their way, etc.

We’ve been together over 5 years; lived together over 3 years. And this past 3 years has been a roller coaster ride. It has been especially difficult with respect to my fiance’s daughter who is now 12. She has worked tirelessly to come between us, but I have hung in there – making adjustments where I could to expand my tolerance levels, avoiding any attempts to discipline his children, etc. Unfortunately, the behavior of my fiance’s children really concerns me with respect to my own 6 year old son.

The greatest hurdle for us has been the lack of discipline with his children. It is still very difficult for him to punish his children for anything. We have been working on this issue, but the result has been that when he does impose a consequence of any kind – or even simply tell his kids they need to respect something I just asked of them (which does NOT happen very often) – my fiance’s subsequent reaction is to get bitter and angry with me.

This is a pattern in our relationship. And though I love him, and though our life together when his children are not around is really good, this pattern has led me to feel uncomfortable when his children are in our home (which is every other weekend and a couple days during each week). I feel like I have to ignore everything they say and do, as I know my saying anything will probably leave me dealing with an angry, defensive fiance.

Do you have any suggestions for how to cope with this situation? Am I really supposed to be okay with this situation?

Struggling Fianc©
United States

saturn lampDear Struggling,

It doesn’t matter if I think you are supposed to be okay with this situation (I don’t) because the fact is, you are not okay with this situation. You have the chart of a very disciplined person, a strong parent and there is just no way you are going to be comfortable with children running amok and running the household.

Thing is, there is little you can do without your fiance’s willing cooperation and while it sounds as if he may be learning, he is certainly learning slowly – which is another thing you cannot control.

It is also common that people resent the person who shows up trying to achieve some kind of order when they are used to disorder. Who the hell are you to come in and rain on their parade? Last, you are outnumbered. It is you and your son (who I assume is like you) against these three mavericks so what to do?

Well you can ask and you’ve done that. You can set an example and you’ve done that too, so this leaves you to decide whether you can stick this out or not.

Can you tolerate the situation in the hopes it gets better – or alternately, can you tolerate this situation until his children are older and take off in their own direction? Because I really don’t think you are going to be able to be able to have much effect on the scenario without your fiance’s 100% support, which he is clearly not offering. In fact is sounds like the whole family is making you the bad guy and eventually, yeah. This is going to color the way your son sees you.

I am sorry but this sounds like there is incompatibility at a fundamental level and I would really recommend against marriage until and unless the two of you can come to some kind of agreement and show some solidarity for the sake of everyone involved.

Good luck.

Astrology And Life: Is There Such A Thing As A “Get Out Of Jail Free Card”?

January 29th, 2008 @ 6:11 pm by Elsa

Astrology in real life

get out of jail free cardkashmiri writes regarding Saturn

“Basically a person needs to accept there is no ‘get out of jail free card’ and things improve. Exponentially.”

kashmiri, I understand what you are saying and know you would elaborate but I have to jump on and argue this. I have been handed many, many “get out of jail” free cards in life. I have stood on the ground and looked up at the sky time and time again and asked God exactly this:

“You’ve got to be kidding me? You mean I am going to get away with this?”

And apparently God approves because I do get away with the thing.

I have had it all, from judges who rule for me even though I am 100% wrong and say so in open court to enjoying spontaneous unexplainable healing after devastating injury. These things happen to me, I swear they do and as far as I am concerned it may very well be Saturn giving me the pass. What is a judge if not Saturn? It is as if the authority looks down on me and says you know what, Elsa? You don’t suck after all and this one is on me.

For the record, I also hand these cards out out all the time. Take my son. He is such a good kid. You think if he makes one mistake I am going to come down on him? I’m not. I am going to get him out of his trouble in the the most painless (for him) way possible and then shrug.

I think you can get beaten all your life and then run into someone who is just not going to be party to it under any circumstances and I think the people who spare you are the Capricorns I mentioned here -> Capricorn, Saturn and Compassion

Nice segue, huh?

Is there such a thing as a get out of jail free card?

anonChart is approximate. This gal is 17 years old. She reports being born, “PM” so I placed the time @ 6 PM.

Dear Elsa,

I have a problem and need some advice. There is a teacher at my school he stares at me a lot. Whenever I enter the classroom he makes an eye contact with me. I feel like he’s attracted to me. I heard he even got married a few months ago. The way that he stares at me it’s really bothers me. I have NO relationship with him and never will be. He hasn’t act inappropriately around me. Please help me, what should I do? should I report him?

Uncomfortable Student
Canada

Dear Student,

I would confront this teacher for sure in whichever way you are most comfortable. You can “report him” or alternately you can just tell him directly that his staring at you makes you very uncomfortable.

Tactically the latter is preferable because if you suffer any backlash after the confrontation, you still have the option of reporting him. Slick, huh?

But I understand this may be too demanding so if you go the other route, I would only recommend you change your language. You are not “reporting” him, you are letting a counselor know that one of your teachers is making you uncomfortable and he/she is taking it from there.

Good luck!

Can anyone else help? Please do.

Talk About Blunt – Today In The Gym

January 28th, 2008 @ 9:03 am by Elsa

Astrology in real life

virgoI was leaving the gym today, hair wet with a heavy bag slung over my shoulder. I came up in the corridor behind a man I see around sometimes, he’s African.

“I’m a speeder,” I said passing him on the left without breaking stride.

“How are you doing?” he asked as I passed.

“Good, what about you?”

“Good too. Sure wish they’d clean this place though. Especially the pool area. It’s nasty.”

Past him now, hitting the door,I looked over my shoulder. “I never go in there and hearing that, I’m glad,” I said.

Standing behind me now I saw him look down at my ass. “You’re losing your weight back,” he said. “For awhile there you had started to swell up. Looked like you were on steroids or something.”

I smiled then glanced over my shoulder at him. “I was eating cookies,” I said. “Bags of them at at a time.”

On that I turned back and headed to my car.
~~

I figure this guy is some mixture of Virgo and Sagittarius. Virgo because of the cleanliness and attention to detail. Sadge because of his big mouth. I can’t say this bothered me though. I will be steering clear of cookies today, you know?

Also another indication of Neptune on the midheaven. People think I am on drugs!
