I’ll be back on the job full time by Monday. Thanks everyone for your patience, especially if you are one of the people who have emailed because everything in my in-box is growing hair by now.

The Uranus transit to my Sun was exact this last week and the result was this total life change. Turns out you can’t act in a normal manner when things are so abnormal – who knew?

Venus (vanity) is conjunct Mercury (writing) in Aquarius (shocking / proactive / progressive). This conjunction opposed my natal Venus in Leo… which really likes it’s own hair.

“Well the whole blog is provocative,” I said. “There are 3 or 4000 posts I have written on this blog alone and every single one of them is going to provoke or shock someone. Oh my God, how can she say that?!? The astrology alone is enough to make most flip their lid and what am I supposed to do?”

Touring all these doctor’s offices (the soldier has 6 appointments in 2 weeks, I have attended 3 of them) has brought up the topic of aging. Most distressing is the body sculpting they are now selling to men as well as women. Is it not okay to just be human?

I feel very strongly about this. I do not want to fall prey and I don’t want the soldier falling prey either. Having a background in sales I recognize as sales pitch when I see one. They make you feel you need fixed. What? Have you not fixed that inch of droop, you slob? Do you not look like a machine?

“Remember our gun, P? This is the gun you and I bought together when we were kids, do you remember?”

“Yeah sort of,” I said staring at the gun. I don’t remember like you do, I haven’t seen that in a long time.”

“We got it right there in the neighborhood one day for no reason… we had no reason at all. Just decided to go look at guns one day, we weren’t thinking anything. And we got in there and they showed us this one. Smith and Wesson. Gun like this cost $3-400 but we only paid, $189, remember? Because it has a flaw. There is some little flaw on the handle here somewhere,” he said, turning the gun over in his hands to find it.

As my sister would say… “Not just done but done like dinner.”

This will be the result of the Mars Pluto opposition once passed and with the Moon in Sagittarius square Uranus and Venus in Aquarius conjunct Mercury, women are unpredictable and probably unstable as well.

It’s all funny if you can stay detached but who can do that with the fox (Mars in Gemini) out there threatening to like a light the fuse of the ticking bomb (Pluto)? We can only hope the fox is as clever as it thinks it is because the bomb they are messing with is no joke. And here’s the million dollar question:

Who are you, the fox or the bomb?

Dear Virgo,

I don’t like to decide what is normal. If you tend to be a person who does not easily trust then to be un-trusting is normal for you.

Now you’ve got a difficult chart and I think this is reflected in your relationship. Because you are having great sex with a man who is sweet and understanding yet you are suffering and this is the thing to investigate and try to alter. Judging from what you’ve written he’s done nothing to betray your trust or arouse your suspicion so where is this coming from?

You don’t have the chart of someone who is particularly paranoid but you do have the chart of someone with a high sex drive, probably interested in psychology, prone to worrying and get this: fantasizing.

And I don’t KNOW but if I was going to guess… considering his planets are opposite yours I would imagine it possible you have his motivation confused with your own. You are a born investigator see. So are you in the relationship for love… or something else?

And I am not judging this so don’t take it that way. What I am suggesting is that you are a very complex young woman so just keep asking questions like this one and you’re going to be fine.

Good luck.

The soldier has Saturn (fear) in Virgo (health) transiting his 6th house (health). Transiting Saturn is conjunct natal Pluto which would be textbook for a health / death scare and he got one. And while he does need a biopsy, we are somewhat less concerned after today’s visit to the doc.

What happened is he got his teeth cleaned. The dental hygenist did not like the look of his mouth so she called in the dentist. The dentist did not like the look of his mouth either…. good teeth and gums but something going on with the inside of one of his cheeks.

Saturn squares the Moon and opposes the Sun in effect bringing the hammer down. Reality may or may not bite but whatever it is, it is real.

Meanwhile Mars applies in aspect to Pluto creating a pressure cooker situation akin to a volcano everyone knows is going to blow.

What are your plans today?

“I tried to give you my ring,” he said. “Remember when I gave you that ring?”

“What ring?”

“Oh, I gave you my high school ring when we were kids. But you gave it back to me,” he said all forlorn.

“I did?” I racked my brain but could not remember.

“Yeah, you gave it back. Actually you threw it at me. You threw it right at me as hard as you could. Here! Take this with you, why don’t ya!”

I blushed.

“Yeah, you were pissed at me. Anyway, P, I’m going to give you that ring again if I can find it. I’ve never done anything with it since you threw it at me that day. I didn’t know anything to do with it but give it to you.”

Last night I got my ring back. I also got his dog tags which I wanted very much since they prove he is alive… he survived all this. If not, the little one would be around his toe, I understand this.

He gave his green beret to my son.

::sigh::

A reader asks:

Since the full moon/eclipse, it seems like I, and many people I know, are just bloated beyond belief. Snacking on high carb items is also in the cards. Wondering if anyone else noticed a sharp increase in the past week or so on this?

I’d say the Mars Pluto opposition is creating high stress for everyone so anyone who tends to eat under pressure is going to be eating for sure. What helps is to keep in mind, condition are temporary and are in fact passing as we speak.

Anyone else?
