How I Feel About Being Proposed To 40 Times (At Least)
I do have feelings about being proposed to 40 + times and for the record, that is not an exaggeration. If anything the estimate is conservative, I could almost sell bumper stickers, “I Proposed To Elsa Too”. If Scott is reading this, he is laughing because he knows it’s true!
Anyway, I don’t like this and Nick Lowe has a song the perfectly describes my feelings about it. I posted the lyrics below and you can see the aspects in my chart brilliantly described. Who but Mars Mercury is going to make a “knife out of a notion”?
He yearns to escape (Neptune), things too real (Saturn) and he is scared, tense and nervous.
He’s not wet but world leaks through… ha ha ha. He’s got an “ocean of emotion” while everyone else is “shaking hands and sayin’ howdy”. Ah, Nick.
I should add one more thing. I have been UN-proposed to a few times as well. This was due my personality interfering with someone’s fantasy… damn me, anyway!
Watch this quick if you want to see it because every time I post these old Nick Lowe videos, they get pulled by youtube… Nick Lowe, “Crackin’ Up” circa 1979.
He actually chews gum while he sings. Aries, with Venus and Mercury in Pisces. Aquarius Moon, of course.
Cracking up, getting ready to go
Had enough, I can’t take any more
No pills that I can take
This is too real and there ain’t no escape
It scares the daylight making nightmares
I’m tense, and I’m nervous
And everybody’s all around me
Shaking hands and saying howdy
I don’t think it’s funny no more cracking up
Cracking up like a worn out shoe
I ain’t wet but the world leaking through
I’d run but I’d find no place
I’d laugh but it’s wrecking me
Make you shiver make you shake
Make a monster just like an earthquake
Everybody’s having fun
I don’t know how they can carry on
I don’t think it’s funny no more cracking up
I don’t think it’s funny no more cracking up
The dead of nighttime the crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If I were a gun then I would shoot
I tear the head out by the root
I’d make a knife out of an notion
All that sea in an ocean of emotion
I don’t think it’s funny no more cracking up…

So funny, my favorite song by Nick Lowe was always “Breaking Glass” – I had that album up there, and played it alot
I have pluto in the seventh and every relationship I find myself in, I’ve noticed marriage has come up (three formal proposals, and six serious discussions on the topic of marriage). and then…the control. and then…I run.
I love this song…and Nick Lowe…and the Carlene Carter.
Great! I have Mars and Mercury conjunct in Pisces, both opposing Pluto and I love Nick Lowe. So, what is Nick Lowe’s rising sign?
