Talking the soldier here regarding my life as a Kangaroo:

“Well it disturbs me,” I said. “If I am going to be able to think as well as I can it seems only sporting I let people know so they aren’t sucker-punched. Because I bet is seems that way. Hey! Aren’t you supposed to be stupid? I thought you were stupid and now look at you! But I don’t see how to accomplish that because when I’m not thinking, I’m not thinking. I’m just lying around laid and fat and happy and nobody has to worry about me. I’m not going anywhere and I am definitely posing no threat.”

He laughed.

“Right. And then someone backs me into a corner and I have them sliced and diced in in just a few seconds and I don’t care who they are. It seems I am only as smart as I need to be. If it takes no brains then it takes no brains and I have no brains. But when there is something at stake, whoosh! However many brain cells I need, I come up with them and I don’t think this is necessarily fair (Libra) but I have no idea how to change the situation. I could put a sign around my neck but I don’t think anyone would believe it. As docile and controllable as I can appear, I wouldn’t believe it myself. How am I supposed to tell someone I have a mind that works at the level it does when I have no recollection of this myself until it’s up and running?”

Astrologically, I would chalk this up to lots of trines in the earth signs. I am perfectly happy to lie around, eat, be touched and not worry about a thing. As long as I’m fed and I know where my next sex is coming from, I am pretty much having no problem at all.

But if I get pissed off or go too long without sex, someone picks a fight… well then my Mars fires up and Mercury goes with it and at that point all bets are off.  I go running pretty much unrestrained (9th house).

There does not seem to be a limit to the things I know once I decide to start thinking which is such a surprise considering the day before there was no evidence I could think at all. It bothers my earthiness to even write this.

Are there parts of you that are relatively remote from other parts of you?
