The Moon has a bumpy ride through Leo but people with shiny hair can dramatize whatever presents so I would not be too concerned.

We’re not talking hard aspects from Saturn or Pluto here. The Moon takes a square from Venus and Mars in Taurus and an opposition from Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius and while it’s relentless, this does not spell pain or blood in the streets.

Even the freakish T-square is loosening up as the Sun in Cancer moves away from it’s evil, shocking clutches!!

All in all, it’s a good day for drama.

Today on the boards – Alcoholics: Don’t underestimate the trickery

There have been a lot of comments regarding loneliness, some of them directed at me.  For the record, I am not often lonely but circumstances do set up sometimes and this is what happened for a few days this last week.

I did just wrap up a Pluto transit through my 11th and I lost almost every friend I had in the process as I’ve reported. This has left me with a very small inner circle and sometimes they are just not available.

The Moon in the late degrees of Cancer / early degrees of Leo is focal point of a yod involving Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Pisces.

This is akin to eating ice cream with salsa, eggnog, pizza, pancakes and domaldes, so whatever. Have some Tums on hand, I guess!

Some of you know I am getting one door and two windows replaced in my house. I hired an alcoholic off craigslist to do the work. I did not do this purposely, I did it accidentally.

I found out he was an alcoholic when he showed up with his wife and another guy to put the door in a couple weeks ago. He asked me to sneak him a drink and I complied as he looked as if he was going to die without one. It was somewhat nerve wracking but the door got in okay. I guess I figure alcoholics have to work too. That and I was in for a penny, in for a pound.

The other day I told the soldier I felt lonely and asked if he felt the same. He said he didn’t and explained he would if he didn’t have anyone. “But I’ve got a girl and a dog…” He added that he thought feeling lonely (when you had someone) was sort of a “woman thing”.

These days it seems everyone I work with is looking for a settled relationship. If they are in a serious relationship, or marriage, they want to stay in it.

It’s possible this is just who I draw but I wonder if this does not reflect something deeper.

I think Pluto in Capricorn signifies deep insecurity and survival fears in the collective. This would lead people to want to partner so as not to face the hardship alone. It would follow that people with planets are early degrees of the Cardinal signs would be feeling this first.

Is it me or has there been an authentic shift here?

Can you elaborate?

With Mars in Gemini, it’s going to be a war of words. Mars in Gemini seduces with the mouth, the mind and the hands.

Mars in this sign gets what it wants by being clever. It is perfectly capable of tricking the pants right off you.
