I used to be praised on my manners.
Venus in Gem, Saturn in Cancer.

I love the quote in the heading!

oh.. I’ve never consider this.. What if Venus is conj saturn on the 8th H? Capricorn in Midheaven and Taurus in the 2H.

hmm.. i appreciate people who are genuinely polite. actions that acknowledge everyone’s importance and make room for everyone’s differences.

unfortunately, i don’t have a lot of patience for “good manners” and “etiquette”. for some reason, i just can’t shake the “fake” from them.

my sister-in-law is a LIBRA STELLIUM and her smile is brilliant. gorgeous. perfect. but fake.

i just like real smiles. i like real behavior, and real people. not veneers.

i think that’s just right for my chart. i’ve got strong aqua/11th house and uranus. i’ve also got pluto in libra/7th opposite my jupiter/ascendant. i’m pretty un-libra.

i appreciate it as an art form, though. i like to watch it the way i like to watch ballet, or good choreography in other expressions.

if anyone ever gets into a situation where they don’t feel native and it’s uncomfortable, see yourself as anthropologist! you’re exploring another culture! of course you don’t know what to do, watch and follow! it can be exciting! you don’t have to enjoy every culture’s practices but it doesn’t hurt to try them once!

Manners matter! I sooo appreciate them, and me and Saturn have been rather tight these days Saturn is also conjunct Venus, 11th house. But I was never taught and would never know what to do with etiquette, Aqua moon probably would rebel against it anyway.

See Katherine Hepburn in “A Lion in Winter”:

“Of course he has a knife, he always has a knife, we all have knives! It’s 1183 and we’re barbarians!”

Okay, TMI:
Places like jinjan described always make me want to have rutting, nasty, screaming sex on the table, just because I know you’re not supposed to.
Mars-Venus-Pluto in Libra, y’all; in consult, Elsa said of this placement “the lovely doily is bound to be spoiled – blood, mud and guts.” YUP. Spoil that doily, beetches! *shit-eatin’ grin*
Not that I would, but it makes things like that interesting in my head. About the worst I would actually do is gleefully walk in wearing ripped-up jeans, dirty tennies, and a metal band concert tee.

All of my personal planets hit Saturn and Venus by conjunction or trine, though, so I do value manners and ettiquette. I just don’t do well with stuffy / pretentious — I want to pop the balloon, so to speak. Tradition for the sake of tradition, unexamined, puts my back up. No one seems to think we should go back to eating from trenchers with our hands, wiping our mouths on the tablecloths, and throwing the bones on the floor for our hounds, but that’s very much European tradition from one era. Feel me?

I knew you did.
