maureen writes regarding Henry’s belief around attempting to control another person’s life:

“Funny how some of us learn well into adulthood, what Henry seemed to know innately. And the astrology paints the picture so well.”

I don’t know that he understood it innately, maureen. He might have worked it out. This was very progressive thinking at the time – to let a woman be independent in the 1940′s… leaving the man a single parent.

It is more likely *I* understand this innately since I was taught this and it was well understood in my family from the time I was born.

Because my mother was taught by Henry, see? And I lived with her and he was a short walk through the desert away so what else am I going to learn? We had no TV.

In a way I grew up my version of Amish. You just don’t know about this other stuff when you don’t know about this other stuff. The idea that you get a person in your life and take to clipping ‘em and tying them up… making them your project you might say was just completely unheard of in my family.

You definitely don’t keep people places they do not want to be and you’re right about the astrology. My whole family has the Moon mashed with Jupiter one way or the other… to include both my kids. We just don’t belieeeeeve in restraining people and none of us tolerate tie down worth a damn.

From my perspective it is decades later and I still just getting to “town” to find people act very differently than I do. This is the Saturn Uranus opposition you know. You guys think I am shocking on this blog and I think YOU are shocking on this blog! Someone is surprised I don’t hate strippers and I am just as surprised they do.

The whole world Googles “How do I make my Virgo boyfriend do blah, blah, blah..?”

Elsa P opens her eyes wide and just puzzles over it. Should I tell them, I wonder. Should I tell them this will never work because if I do, I may be stoned to death.

Yeah… that’s one of the things I have learned about “town”.

“Town” thinks they are progressive (Uranus) but I think they are oppressive (Saturn).

If I say this I become the oppressor!! But this is also the path to liberation (Uranus).

Ha ha ha ha! Hall of mirrors anyone?

You are not going to get free (Uranus) by controlling (Saturn) someone else, I can tell you that for sure.
