Astrology, Women and Their Energy – The Yin and the Yang and the Saturn Return – Part Four: Las Vegas

November 2nd, 2008 @ 12:50 pm by Elsa

This is a true story. Need to catch up? Part one

las vegas strip So I told this gal this story. I told her it would have been fine if I were Frank’s wife. No one would have had a problem with me. And I thought she was really smart to see the potential of a problem going in to an all-male environment because I didn’t and being blindsided usually makes things twice as difficult to cope with. I suggested she get on top the situation from the minute she hit the room. Take control and assert herself. Aries is plenty social and Aries, right? Well here’s another thing about this gal:

We looked alike. Generally speaking, I mean. We were the same size, same color, same hair, same status or lack of it… however you may rate people we were fairly matched and she didn’t have anything to wear to the convention. She was a tomboy for the most part with no idea how to dress professionally.

Well, I’d been there before so I did for her what my sister had done for me many times. I went in my closet and gave her everything she would need for the 3 days,and off she went. Do you want to know what happened?

saturn old man She told me she needed to sell $10,000 on the weekend. That would be enough to pay her rent for the month and prove her business was viable. She came home from the convention with $260,000 in sales! (half a million in today’s terms I’d say) How’s that for a successful Saturn return?

She said at first it was disgusting. Turns out there were other women in room but every single one of them was a prostitute who had been provided… well you know. It was Las Vegas.

This flustered her and nearly knocked her off her game. She thought there would be at least one other woman there selling something besides their bodies, but no.

She was caught off guard but she recovered and danced her gig. And she was roundly accepted and taken serious. She had problem NONE and I just shook my head.

“If it were me in that room, I’d have sold nothing! I’d have been solicited for sex for sure. Someone may have become enamored of me or thought I was cute. Someone would have gotten drunk and proposed marriage but take me seriously as a peer? Not a chance…”

Now, remember she was wearing my clothes. She was wearing what I would have worn but instead of quarter million dollars in sales, I would have had some guy blowing on my neck or brushing up against me, rubbing his dick on my leg or worse and this is when I knew she had something I didn’t. She could go into a room and be one of the guys!

I can’t do that, I never could. And I mourn this, but you know what they say. “You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.”

And what do I get? Well I have no problem finding a husband, do I? ::laughs::

But anyway, I think this is interesting. As driven and dynamic and competitive as I am, my energy is still overwhelmingly yin and yielding. And it’s strange. Because in reality I am a feminist’s feminist. Anyone who takes it upon themselves to sue their boss for sexual harassment as a teenager, before “sexual harassment” even exists cannot be characterized as anything less. But if you were to see me out in the world, you would have a much different impression.

So what about you? Are you recognized wherever you go? Or are you more like me, flying under wire, whether you like or not?

Korellyn

I can be one of the guys, for sure. The problems come when I start looking for someone to date. I have a hard time finding anybody who sees me as anything but one of the guys! So it’s a trade off, I guess. Wish I could borrow some of that yin energy sometimes. I even wear skirts & “girly” clothes these days… and… nothin’.

I do tend to get noticed though. I flew under the radar for -years- and was miserable. Then I embraced my gloriously freaky self, and have been much happier this way. Sometimes I still like to sit very still in a corner and observe (it’s amazing how few people notice, especially if you make a little bit of an effort to blend with the environment), but now that’s a choice, not a perpetual state of being.

Now… how to find a guy who’s interested in what I’ve got going? I haven’t the foggiest.

Korellyn – that first para is very similar to my experience as well. I’ve noticed my reaction to it has been that I’ve always dated ppl a few years older. Guys my age naturally fall into my large “buddy” bucket. The age difference changes that dynamic slightly for me anyways. But that might be b/c of other stuff in my chart.

Weird. I’ve had similar things happen, where I’ve gone to do something myself with little/no reaction, and then someone with a more dynamic personality did the same exact thing and got a lot of attention for it.

I don’t bother with male/female roles much, but I learn that when I demand respect from people, I get it. Every once in a while it’ll seem like people aren’t, but all that takes a little bit of extra work (usually picking up the most difficult thing in others’ perceptions) and I win once again.

Mercury and Mars together in libra, hmm… perhaps all you need to do is open your mouth next time you’re missing the competitive edge?

I am mostly ‘one of the guys’. I play indoor soccer and I’m the only female on field. They don’t physically exclude me, but they aren’t interested in shagging me.
Ergo, they are not interested in being my friends, even though I would love to have straight male friends. As soon as the game is over, it’s like I… cease to exist.

I have also never been bought a drink by a guy at a pub or a club, whereas my friend gets groped by strangers on the dance floor. My other friend explained it thus: ‘She gives off come fuck me vibes, you give off just fuck off vibes.’

I don’t want to be molested by strangers, but it would be nice to have a close, straight guy friend. But as my father told me ‘That’s just not the way it goes.’ So I make do with straight girly friends and gay guy friends. They’re cooler and nicer anyway!:)

Under the wire, all the way…rarely recognized or remembered. Too bad I wasn’t older during the cold war, I would have made a great spy!

‘She gives off come fuck me vibes, you give off just fuck off vibes.’

I’ve always been under the radar, except with the closest of friends. In high school, I got TWO votes for my class’s funniest person…from my two best friends. Everyone else was like…”I didn’t even know she had a sense of humor…”

Few men have ever taken particular notice of me. Although I am not unattractive, my personality is probably my best feature – I’m just not a head turner. I just don’t appeal to men who haven’t talked to me and I don’t send out, “come talk to me” vibes. So, I guess it makes sense that I met the love of my life online, huh?

omie

it is kind of funny, everyone is intimidated by me at first. I come across very put together, and like I can handle every thing myself. Almost every single person I know and am friends with was originaly intimidated by me, a few tough cookies like myself weren’t, and then that works. The funny thing is I really am nice, REALLY NICE, but people don’t know that at first. I am pretty fem. and I get that no one talks to me because I am ‘too pretty, too sexy’ thing too. The funny thing is I think I am funny looking, I just do the best i can with what I have… Hmmmm I’m having a eureka typing moment:

It is that I always do my best, in every way, and that is intimidating to people who don’t.

My deal is the same as Omie, except I am not really nice. I am nice though until I get shit on, and then I think they realize why they are intimidated in the 1st place.

I am feminine with a hard edge I guess. Years ago I bartended and served in a small bar. I was never grabbed or hassled. I always figured it was sort of an aura I put around me, that I was off limits and would retaliate and make them extremely embarrassed in a public manner. Even in the wide open 70′s I was still a very conventional girl even though very wild.

With Virgo rising I truly understand the whore/virgin dichotomy. I really chuckled over the vibe comment Toni! I would say I give off a don’t fuck with me vibe.

I recall reading about someone who knew Marilyn Monroe. She said to the person *can’t recall the words used* how she could switch her aura on and off. She told this person watch.. up til that point they were mostly incognito. MM started to walk and men’s heads swiveled and she exuded sexuality. It was like night and day. I always marveled at that, guess that is why I remember it. She had Venus close to the Midheaven and Neptune in the 1st house.

Uranus rising- definitely recognized, even when I am trying to be “normal.” Random people I don’t even know in town recognize me. My relatives are the only ones who have no idea I’m a weirdo, and that’s because they loathe weirdos and would never acknowledge such unless I threw it in their faces (which I don’t).

I’m an interesting gender failure. I present female and dress up to the nines (Venus in Taurus), but I don’t act feminine and nurturing worth a damn. I get along with women and find men pretty foreign, but get along with them as long as (a) they don’t stick to man-only topics and (b) don’t hit on me. I probably act like more of a man, but nobody treats me as such.

I guess it depends on the day as to wether I am under the radar or not. Sometimes I feel like no one will recognize me without my makeup etc.lol,but they usually do. In my mind its like if I don’t have my “uniform” one I can be incognito. It is kinda silly I guess.

I never thought of myself as a girlie girl and defintely not high maintanence. It usually shocks me when people mention that I am a girlie girl or that I am physically attractive to them. I don’t consider myself unattractive I just feel a little detatched from my physical apperance at at times. I don’t know where this would manifest in my chart. I have my sun in gemini in the 12th house and my moon in aquarius in the 9th with aquarius in the midheven. Maybe it is my mars in libra in the 5th opposed my aries saturn in the 11th,hmm not sure.

Sag Neptune conjunct mars in the 10th, Pisces Rising. I fly under the wire mostly in work situations and I im usually underestimated. Plus I dont get taken seriously which is hard for my poor ole cap moon and Pluto-Saturn-Venus conjunction. What I find funny is most people think im weak but I have a Scorpio Sun conjunct Pluto in 8th…Im anything but weak. I guess we all have our cards though so each to their own.
