The Deirdre Saga: Once Upon A Time A German Judge Told An American Mother…

Once upon a time, when Jupiter and Pluto were conjunct in Sagittarius and a stellium of other planets was piling up there too, a German judge told an American mother and a German father to solve the whole thing in mediation. This is a true story of course, because it has Sagittarius, and it’s a big story for the same reason, so I can only tell it in snippets because otherwise it’s just impossible.
In case you don’t have Moon in Sagittarius, here’s an illustration of what it feels like, just so you know and maybe you can understand how somebody can get in a situation like this to start with, but I didn’t draw it so you could understand. I drew it because the way this mediation is going is you have to leave the room sometimes. You have to wait while you know for a fact they are all three talking about stuff that effects your whole entire life, so there is time to draw. Not knowing what would come out, thrashing about with a pen kept me sane for those minutes and that was helpful considering the mix.
But before I go on and tell you what can happen in a Venus retrograde if you have been holding in something complicated for a long time, I wonder if you know how it feels or if you have ever seen someone who has Sagittarius fly off the handle.

“I wonder if you know how it feels or if you have ever seen someone who has Sagittarius fly off the handle”.
It’s like watching a firecracker–the kind you buy from the corner store at Hallowe’en. Lots of noise, scares the dog. Mostly just annoying, but if you don’t take care you just might lose a finger.
Me (Sag, Sag asc. with Aries moon), I’ve been known to fly off the handle occasionally. And really, I do mean occasionally – it takes a while to work up that kind of head of steam. But apparently I’m scary – scared the heck out of my loud, muscly ex-husband by throwing a plastic laundry basket on the floor while yelling at him after he insulted me. But he was a coward, as you can tell from this little story . . .
Yeah I know one. My mother is Sag moon sag rising. She’s been known to breath fire on more than one occasion.
Ha, this explains my temper. Sag sun/moon/mc/merc/mars. I need some damn air so I can detach, but all I have is Pluto.
I have a Sag moon. Looking forward to the story!
