Looks to me like she is surrounded by dudes trying to look up her skirt. Plus, she has a different kind of smug look from the other chick, more of a recently-well-loved smug look. I get the sense that she might be fucking with our heads.

I didn’t make the card, but to some degree I either think this way or wonder about it.

Hey, not to offend, but some women are just too smart for there male counterpart.

wow, I saw this card this morning too, and I immediately thought of you Elsa. lol, I come on here and sure enough, there it is.

OMG “get me out of my head” is such a struggle for me.

That and my moon with Uranus (trine) and Saturn (sextile) makes me wonder if I am some sort of alien species sometimes haha.

You’ll find someone phel.

That one caught my eye too. I actually recognized the source of the image–it’s from the movie “Miss Potter” with Renee Zellweger and Ewan MacGregor–which of course warps the way I interpret the caption. In the context of the movie, the men behind her are amused at her attempt to make a living as a writer when everyone knows women are just supposed to get married and let their husbands support them. To them, she’s a freak.

Beatrix Potter went on to make a ton of money from her books and fall in love with her editor. He died before they could get married, but she eventually found someone else, married him, and apparently lived happily ever after. So that could be seen as encouraging.

Me, I have five planets in Libra and one in Aquarius, so I live almost entirely in my head. I don’t think I’ll find love either, and the fact that I’m intellectual is one of the reasons, though not the only one.

i have… two planets in gemini-9th house, both aspected by saturn in libra, two other libra planets, libra ascendant, two sagittarius-3rd house planets, and jupiter aspecting my moon… i think my chart “kind of” backs up my thought of being an intellectual sort. i’ve swung from being a full blown geek to just a dabbler in random pseudo-intellectual things and back again, from being very open about it and not, spent my time with all sorts of different people… and i have not once been afraid that because i’m smart or even appear smart that i’m going to scare away boys/men. maybe if you’re spending your time with people who believe in women’s roles you would have a problem, but it seems that intelligence or acting as an intellectual wouldn’t be an issue in partnering up. maybe insecurity, arrogance, control-freakisms, etc…

“The intellect is associated with the air element and while you can certainly nurture a person’s mind it does not speak to these deeper (primal) drives and needs that all people have.”
i like what you said here, elsa.

but i could have written that once upon a time. not too long ago. maybe yesterday, i’m not sure.

I am definitely intellectual and I have never had any issues finding a man (Sun, Venus and Mercury in the 7th) but it’s only now that I’ve actually been able to relate on an intelligent level with a partner. None of my previous boyfriends were remotely interested in a lot of the intellectual pursuits (including reading) I loved and with Venus and Mercury in Virgo … it was something I breathed.

It’s so nice to have somebody now who seeks these things out on his own, and did before I met him.

I can relate. If I’d admitted my fears – all sorts of them – when I was younger, then I might have been happier relationship-wise. Instead, I took my fears almost as gospel, put them aside, and chose to be optimistic for the future me (optimism would have been well placed, had I not shoved fears aside), and channelled my energy into artwork instead. I thought things were coming together, but I realize that even though I told a certain someone, some of my issues and fears upfront, I didn’t say as much as I should have.
