What Happpened Under The Grand Cross: August 7, 2010 – Psychopathy, Destiny And Invention
Astrology in real life
My husband and I had wild night last night, it was great. He entertained me by inventing something on his Big Chalkboard. Specifically he was teaching me how a person might turn 120 volt current into 12 volt so my son might use a CB in his bedroom, just because.
He included a lot of opinionated side lectures which had me howling with laughter and reminded me of stories he tell of a ex-Nazi math professor he had high school in South America who would yell all the time.
My husband would make a great math professor, or science, or engineering but says it will never happen due his destiny which was the next topic we explored.
We talk about destiny on the blog, or try to from time to time. Having a strong Saturn Neptune signature in my chart, I have trouble drawing lines. How much of how your life turns out is destiny and how much is free will? My husband has a better grip on these questions so it’s interesting for me to hear his opinions. For example we both agree it is our destiny to be married. He says we exercised our free will when we were kids and did not marry but because it is our destiny to marry, we have now done it.
He’s told me in the past, he feels if we’d not done it at this time, we’d have met again in the old folks home… we are going to be married eventually, it’s our destiny. The children we had complicates things. We each had a boy and a girl and we could have had them together? But the children are born and then they go off to exercise their free will. He thinks that while we had a destiny to have these children, it is not further defined which is a place a person can draw a line, I suppose.
We went on the discuss the what percentage of the population might be psychopathic, we slept well so I would call and consider this a banner good time.
What happened in your life?

Hi Elsa,
My relationship with my younger sister and my mother exploded and I was caught up in it also. Blind-sided. I am still in shock today. The venom and hurt and shouting were horrific. We are good people but this explosion has been building for a while, it’s just when it happened, I saw my sister become enraged and it was frightening. My mother said things I could never have imagined her saying. My sister’s kids saw it all and today, I am heart-broken. I have the sun, venus and mars in Cancer and it’s been one thing after another this year, but yesterday broke something in my soul. I just don’t know how to deal with it now. Somehow I got to be the scapegoat yet again. My heart is just broken.

I believe in destiny for sure and it’s comforting to think it can happen in the “old folks home”. Ha:) Destiny is magnetic, I believe, you are pulled in certain directions. It is much larger than mere survival.
so glad you two got to spend some time together!!
just trucking along. My now ex-roommate finally cleared out and I am ALL ALONE in the house and I am so so so so so so so so so so relieved. My mother said “you must feel like you’ve got sprung from jail”
Yes, that is exactly how I feel! Uranus transit to the 4th.
oh, yes, I believe in destiny…I kind of went along, all mellow like, until about 4 years ago…..that’s when it snatched me up and slapped me around like a rag doll…..not that everything was rosy till then…..but, it just became so “in your face” it had to be acknowledged……the astrology right now is just focusing the laser beam, at least for me…..as far as this weekend, particularly, I’m laying around doin’ nothin more than I have to…..haven’t even gotten out of my pajamas (it’s 4 in the afternoon; scandalous!!!!)
Glad you are having a good weekend with your husband.
He’s leaving in a couple hours. BUMMER.

I’m so glad he got home…
I drank a bottle of wine with a girlfriend over italian food. appetizers, the whole shebang. we closed the place down.
ow. my head.
I did suffer one attack.
Someone wrote me and told me to unsub me from my newsletter IMMEDIATELY. I got a series of mails from them – the upshot is that I am a “scammer” and they are on to me?
The attack was provoked when I suggested the person post their astrology question to the boards. It’s bewildering.

Grandparents decided to host my daughter for the night. Hubby and I were too tired to do anything. I was asleep by 8:30. I’m hoping that this weekend continues to be uneventful. Last weekend was volatile enough and I have to deal with the legal ramifications of that next Friday. A bit of calm time is exactly what I need.
Surprise. We were 5 minutes from leaving when we found out he gets another day off. Hooray! 
Hip Hip Hooray Elsa.
(((DeeC & Stacey)))
Demelza I am right there with you. BAHAHAHAHA YEP still in my jammies too. Except for here, had my head in a 13 column ledger all day, gonna finish these taxes dang it. Summer classes are over in 2 weeks, want taxes done by then too. Then I have 4 weeks off till fall classes off. Ignoring my in-box, phone, cause when fall classes start, I want this part of my life to be over. To infinity and beyond . . . .
((DC))
Yay Elsa; the unplanned times together are the best!
@Daisy; don’t work too hard….I’ll have to pick up the pace tomorrow; tremendous workload means I’ll have to go in on my Sunday off, but today I’ve totally vegged.
dee place a mind cage around yourself and pretend that nothing they say can touch you. The bars make you safe. pull the knife out of your heart and throw it on the other side. Press your hands over your heart and close the wound. Next take a shower, put on fresh cloths and step into your own life. It’s much more important. try and be sucessful, accumulate money, power of your own. Send your family cards on christmas. worked for me. I have cancer AC
We are really stoopid happy these last days. Really remarkable how I get hit by a truck and then get a very deep rest and feeding – then tomorrow back on the job.
i believe in luck. If you strive, try and do what’s right, protect innocent life, wildlife & people from harm, keep your eyes open, tell the truth…try and get there
Well. I have been having strange predictions that are just mind-boggling (regarding the thing I mentioned ages ago as something that would be bad for me to do). And there’s buttloads of synchronicities and card readings and the like that seem to be confirming this hard and that it will be happening post-apocalypse year (har). Hell, I just did a “is this my destiny to deal with” reading and got 6 of Cups (been told this is a past life card), The Star (this is your path) and The Empress (gee, guess what, motherhood and pregnancy). Dear lord, you’d think someone was writing a book plot here, except I don’t think it’s me. Terrifying.
Frankly, it’d all be pretty great except for that last card. That is what makes me want to avoid like hell, but that may not even be possible at this point. If you go by that reading, it isn’t. My life circumstances are going to have to change drastically before it even does, and that’ll take years, which makes me think I could duck it. Except well, maybe not.
You know what? I want there to be a term between “free will” and “fate/destiny.” Callings, well, technically you could choose not to follow them, but NOT REALLY. You are kind of cosmically forced to even when you keep choosing no. “Irresistable grace” is as close to a term as I’ve found, but another book I have referred to it as “the choice that is no choice.” That makes sense to me. Techically Elsa and the soldier could choose to break up… BUT NOT REALLY. See what I mean?
(((DeeCee))) Get your strength back, girl, any way you can!
I saw my old frat big brother today after 23 years. He looks like John Goodman in biker leathers. Here I am in my polo and pearls, and it’s like not a day has passed.
The past is much too much to go into detail here. Suffice it to say that nobody changes on the inside all that much. We are who we are, and the ravages of erosion and aging aside, we remain pretty much who we were.
friends are under fire, but everybody’s holding their own.
i’ve been hearing from the dead, and spouses of the dead and getting memories of the dead. flashbacks stumble in like a pack of mindless zombies.
i’m very proud of my girl, about to have her 21st birthday. the amount of growing up that girl has done in the last six months has been phenomenal.
@ DeeC… that’s horrible. I hope you will be able to see some positives really soon (they really DO come out of this shit!!! =) Find Peace soon.
@elsa… I hope you’ve been behaving yourself, seeing as they’re “on to you” L M A O!!!! This is the most Genuine Astrology site I know(& my favourites list is bountiful =)
Actually, I haven’t had too much craziness going bang around me BUT I’m a little worried as there have been VERY serious facts coming to light in many lives around me… things going on under the surface, but not nice things… facts coming up that no one knew about (& some still don’t!!!) It’s all still bubbling away, brooding… building slooooowly. Family, Employment, Relationships, Money. These are things that will blow people OUT of the water but they haven’t culminated yet. I hate this because it’ll all ignite… but When? Got it all to look forward to still.
shudder.
Hello,
I want to say thank you for your kindness, your responses made me cry. Thank you. Especially to Goss, yes, your words struck deep. I went for a walk near the sea this morning, and cried. It’s hard for me to cry with my Aquarian moon, I usually think through things but this time, something inside of me has been broken and I need to fix the wound and finally stop trying to carry my family on my back. I am so sad today but the warmth of your words have done something too.
Thank you
DeeC
Hi DeeC, that is a huge letdown, so sorry. Yet also a huge lesson. I have been though umpteen episodes of family disfunctionality and violence. But what is most interesting is your referral to yourself as Scapegoat and as carrying you family on your back.
Now I know I have a Scapegoat Archetype. I have gotten dumped on big time to the detriment of what I thought was my familial, social and/or inner circle stability. So now I am pondering how and why, how does it serve my soul’s growth to be treated like an outcast? And how can I not only forgive them and me but also take full responsibility for my role in the transgression and realize that its all ultimately a fork stuck in the road
hi there, im new here. just stumbled after googling grand cross. In these days I have met someone that with few words and few mtgs has touched my core. i have just gotten back in italy after almost 8 yrs in USA by myself.im 33. i just drove 10 hrs from tuscany to the mountains of calabria to bring my family home and have not been able to get any sleep! my mind has just been going and going for hrs. had some amazing self realizations..and about people in general.things and concepts just clicking in my mind…i wish i had written stuff down, i hope i will remember everything. wow, what a wild ride. so much clarity after so much pain. i am so grateful for this encounter and this experience.im a sag, leo moon, mars in sag, merc in cap and venus in aqua. thanks for reading! Love and peace to you all

Elsa,
Destiny, one of my favorite subjects. Here is a poem on the subject I wrote back in 1991.
Destiny
Life is a wonder to behold,
Limitless possibilities within a mold
Freedom of choice is within our grasp
Yet, there seems some ultimate task
Do we choose the life we are living?
Or are the choices we make really given?
The answer isn’t easy to see
Do we choose or reap destiny!
