We’ve had some strange experiences around here over the last few days that has had me recall and recount an evening I spent with my husband last year. He got intensely upset and I don’t mean his usual surface ranting. I mean he was putting off heat, the kind that just about stops your heart and threatens to burst it open in your chest? Do you know what I am talking about? It’s what happens when you’re standing next to someone who gets really bad news and I mean REALLY bad news and at that moment all blood in the room runs cold.
I’d never seen my husband like that before, I’ve not seen him like that since and I won’t bother to say I hope I never see him that way again because that would almost be begging for it sooner rather than later.
I thought you guys might want to discuss this.
I can put off this kind of heat myself but never knew it until a few years ago when I was still writing on xanga, my friend, Leon scanned and sent me some pictures from back in the day. He’s a really good photographer and he caught me in full brood when I was about 24.
As soon as I saw the picture, I recalled the emotion of the day and frankly, I have not thought of myself the same since. It was a side of myself I just did not know existed. While I am glad he took it, I didn’t even want to hold the picture in my hand.
With my increased awareness and my hindsight, I can say that there are a (fairly high) percentage of people and if they ever see you like this / feel you, they will withdraw from your life.
Any experience with this?

I’ve had people stay and I’ve had people withdraw. I’ve probably also done some withdrawing — needing to self-protect. Sometimes I have to remind myself: so and so saved my life so I better NOT withdraw, no matter what they go through. But yes — I’ve had it happen to me–
People tend to freak out when bad things happen to other people. They are thinking: am I next? Or “thank god it isn’t me” ……
I’ve only been like this once with an ex-roommate, my boyfriend witnessed it, married me anyway, though I do think he was scared to make me mad for quite a long time after that, even though he wasn’t the target.
Yes, more than once but very rare. I start out being really frightened and it turns into rage.
Once in high school when this girl menaced and threatened me. One night I’d just had enough of being scared and said, all right, let’s have it out. I chased her car and had all this pent up adrenaline the rest of the night.
Once when we were about to get raped on Daytona Beach.
Once when I was about to get my butt kicked in the parking lot where I lived. I actually chased this woman, and I’m sure she was confused since I’d just been backing down and trying to keep the peace 30 seconds ago…
Each time they backed away, and they looked truly scared. They saw my intent, I think. By the way, I’m a Taurus too.
experienced that today…put it on tha account that moon in capricorn, pluto in capricorn,saturn in libra and venus in aries were all bombarding my mars in cancer…it was a total insane asylum in my head today…if you had been in the theater of my mind you would have run for the hills…I thank God I know enough about astrology to know that it will pass, and that if I stay away from people I won’t hurt anybody (my pisces sun could not take it) otherwise I woulsd have commuted myself…
Almost everyday for twenty-three years, lucky me!
Uh, on the bright side, I can tune out outbursts like this…
Two Leo men had put me through a trial by fire on the love front. Until I fricken lost it and packed some ‘metaphoric’ Scorpio punch aimed at the lion’s ego. I won’t pretend that I haven’t been black listed for all eternity.
a few times in my life i have gotten very angry- i have a physical reaction- my face and neck turn tomatoe red- i am olive skinned- so it is odd- and yes, the people i was with remembered- i usually keep myself undercontrol- mars in aries on the ic in 4th house of cancer opposing uranus- so capacity for 1.explosive red temper emotionally driven strange red total flush or 2. bizzar ability within relationships to keep aries mars in check and positive in order to maintain stability in home and in relationships….
yup. I can do this, and sometimes I think I do it once in the beginning of every significant partnership, because I don’t want to be involved with someone who can’t take the heat.
Having a Moon square Mars and Pluto (both in Libra, but not conjunct) natally I can say that yes, I know what you’re talking about. Luckily enough, I had people (loads of highly intuitive watersign people in my family) making me aware of my behaviour early on, because it really freaked people out. I’ve learnt to control it, at least to some extend.
my husband is scorp rising and has a number of pluto conjunctions and i have experienced this phenomena.
i’ve got some scorp myself, but am less certain of what i put out.
Oh, God yes. I work hard at being moderate, but in fact I can gin up this kind of energy pretty fast. Sometimes I have felt I needed to tap into it for dramatic effect, and those times I amaze myself. One time I stuck a knife i was cooking with into the cutting board and snapped the blade off. I really thought the guy needed scaring, and I scared him. Didn’t scare me; it was puro drama. But I feel bad about this. I’d have been better off developing this into an art form and dumping the part that suffered too long
. If I accommodate too long, then blow up, it’ll take ya by surprise.

Oh yes! ever since I was young -my father was like this his whole life, and his idea of control was obtaining it through fear. I was the only one who wasn’t really afraid of him, I despised him, and although »I didn’t rtake myanger out on him, I found him to be incredibly stupid. it was my friends, mother and half-sisters who felt the sting. I have calmed waaaay down, mainly because I feel stupid after getting into a fit of explosive scorpio rage. An the fact that I seem psychotic when you take a gander at the rest of my personality, I tend to be rather affable, quiet – but you can always, always feel the lava bubbling not so deeply underneath ![]()
I have learned over time, after having lost people dear to me that this very very instinctual reaction just. does. not. fly, with most people. period. I am also learning not to get into relationships with people who bring out the incredibly angry me. Mostly, I’m just a pussycat. At least by SO will tell you that !
Oh, also, my Scorpio Moon (quite possibly squaring the Acquarius Mars) colleague I feel I have a karmic bond with, does this, too. I actually think he is fully aware of it, because I’ve been in a room he has stormed into upset in a couple of occasions. And both times all I’ve been able to think has been: “Thank God it wasn’t me to make him angry” and “Now, is there something I can say or do to calm him down, because I can’t let people see him like this, they just won’t understand”.
My mom used to call me “snake eyes” I would get this cold look in my eyes. And then the steam would start to rise. I wouldn’t say anything but I could feel a volcano building up inside.
Then onetime a guy was following me one night when I lived in the city. He was spewing nasty things at me. So I passed my apartment and went into the lite parking lot nearby and once I got into a safe place…I spewed back at him and told him “what a cowardly mofo he was and if he didn’t leave me alone I was gonna kick his ass to hell etc. etc etc.” He backed off like Godzilla was standing behind me: ) I was shaking when I was done, but boy did it feel good!!
very rarely. feels like some sort of elemental rage move through me. scary. almost whited out once (my vision started closing in…) i avoid it.
only time i’ve had to actually fight for my life i was all cold cold aquarius moon, though.
saw something akin with my mom sometimes as a kid, too. she had it under decent control, but it was terrifying. as a child. meant i was harder to rattle with such things when i was older, though.
Oh, my. Just wrote a comment that got lost, somewhere. I can relate. Got moon in Scorpio?
New moon in Aries was happening, and I got angrier than I can ever remember. I removed a hundred some articles from a site I was submitting to. A new moderator came on the scene. With no howdy do or anything, she goes into my articles and removes my article on the night time space shuttle mission. I had gotten up at three a.m. and had gone out in the cold to get pics.
This newbie moderator indicates that astronomy has nothing to do with astrology, and writes an unintelligible note. I know she’s next best thing to illiterate.
Anyway, I stayed puffed up and pissed off for a week now. It’s traumatic, and I am hardly able to reel it back in and get back to my normal, good natured self.
But, when I got shot out of the blast furnace and was looking for an outlet for that angry energy, I started writing my book I’ve been thinking about for a long time.
yes–went through a long bout of it after my ex almost died
i watched many people compltely withdraw from him because it was just so bad, bad news every fucking day, and i felt helpless to stop it–i also was oblivious that the same was happening to me, go figure.

I know exactly what you mean, but maybe it’s the opposite, I dont know. It’s abstract as hell but I think i experienced that a few times when things get REAL f%^king bad and it’s SO bad that what i know as me checked out and something else steps in to fix shit and transcends. And then just the other day it happened, and i realized that its been ME all along being about to transcend and overcome. But it’s a trip. I am aware it’s ME, but it’s beyond me.
IS this what you are talking about?
if not it’s ok, i dont know what is up with me today… but i just cant stop. It’s like Im in a trance. Am i here oram i not? THis feels like a black out.
