ROFL!!! Oh yeah, this is so true. Controlling others is a HUGE waste of time and energy. Pluto transiting over my Scorpio Mars & ASC was what put the final touches on my efforts to control others. So don’t even attempt to do that anymore . . .

lol…that was hilarious. I guess she really got her way! It must have been quite a turn on to rebel like that Did he ever find out what was going on??

I’ve got a shitload of cardinal signs, and I’ve learned this is true. Easier to get what you want by controlling yourself than others

Gawd!!! That’s great!! Curious? What was her sign?

This was just as funny the second time!

PixieDust- in an very odd and…..inspirational way? LOL!

Great story! Terrific!
Hope I will never forget.
Thank you so much!

Uncle Hannah: controlling people are usually inspired by insecurity. And controlling behavior can inspire a LOT of anger… just a huge amount of it.

It’s kind of instinctive, when you hit the breaking point, to direct all that anger right where it most hurts. That’s the insecure point of the controlling person. Who would know that point better than the person being controlled?

I won’t say it’s right, but I will say that what happened was predictable.

The cardinal signs are definately control freaks. Not always in bad ways, but yeah. I have a few caps and peeps with strong libra stelliums who are a bit of ‘my way or the highway’.

Cracks me up.

LOL, that is an outrageous story!

I tell myself that all the time (maybe to convince myself? you know us Scorpios…) I am trying to make myself feel better. Sometimes it helps.

@S: Ahhhh, but you read it anyway! )
:::wink wink:::

Ah ha, s, but they let you read it in 2nd year college English (where it may become more useful fodder…er, I mean *knowledge* cough cough)

kashmiri-

Yeah, but in most dorms one can hardly perform anything clandestinely, so the lesson is wasted. In this instance the girlfriend’s “discretion” is almost charming compared to the average shenanigans happening at a state college. Where this might be really useful is at a more *erhm* conservative college. Of course, one wouldn’t get to read the Miller’s Tale there… A shame.

I have 4 planets in Libra, and it can be “my way or the highway” with me sometimes. Except I don’t really care whether others will follow or not. If I see that something is the only right thing to do or something that needs to be done and others don’t agree, I’ll just go ahead and do it anyway. It’s probably down to Uranus on the Midheaven and Mars conjunct Pluto:)

And great story:) I actually had a similar reaction myself, some 10 years ago;) Not out the window, though – Moon in Taurus requires more comfort than that!:)

So, did she take on another guy just for sex? Or just to rebel?
I’m sure it was not for emotional intimacy.

Marianne – I wrote that article.

miss – that video is months old.. everything around here is a hologram but thanks!

Marianne – no need to be embarrassed. Now if you’d have claimed you wrote it or come up with the concept, I’d have been highly pissed but as it is – no harm / no foul and nothing to be embarrassed of. In fact if you search this blog you will pull up several pieces on that theme..

Haha! That reminded me of that chaucer story as well. But he didn’t shag her butt. Just kissed it.
It also reminded me how relieved I am to be out of a controlling relationship.

As a person with a lot of Libra, I still believe the world would be a better place if everyone did as I instructed, but it is not to be
As for those cappys who want to control but are less successful because they lack the libran charm, why don’t you go cry about it, sourpants?!!

omg. *snort* I could have used a beverage alert for that one. There went a keyboard.

In the words of my mostly Aries Cardinal T-square boyfriend: “Why bother trying to control people ? It’s such a big efford for an uncertain outcome.” Having spent years with a mostly Libra Cardinal T-Square (and if you wonder, my Moon in Capricorn is compliting the Grand Cross in both cases, so, there you go…) who had his controlling side, I feel truely blessed being with a person who isn’t excersising his control freakish qualities on people, but rather using them constructively at work.

As for me (multiple Libra besides the Capricorn Moon), I guess that with the 12th house Saturn I’m far to busy controlling myself to bother with others.

Hahaha! I remember that one! Yeah, that husband sounds so much like my ex – and that was my one big issue w/him, his possessive/controlling ways. Oddly enough, almost all of his planets are Fixed…I’m the one with the heavy Cardinal chart. I’m not a control freak when it comes to the person I’m with. What I AM controlling about is how to do things – I have a hard time letting other people do a task that I know I can do faster/better. Working on that though, via my children – so hard, but worth it.

It’s interesting, the differences between controlling and manipulative “qualities” – I have just enough Cap to be the type of OCD-ish person who has to do everything *just so* and direct others in similar fashion when it comes to processes of accomplishing specific tasks. I am not, however, inclined at ALL toward manipulating others’ behavior, choices, decisions in a non-task oriented sense; in fact, I have so much Aquarius goin’ on that the idea of trying to control other people in that way appalls me. “That’s a Scorpio thing, LOL!” says my Aquarian spirit. And indeed, Scorps (and any others) who do try to put that kind of manipulative spin on me get met with the hard, ice-like block of my detachment/indifference!

Wonder if any unsuspecting meter-readers ever got mooned…………talk about in-your-face

Wow, great story! I am married to a cap man and my goodness he has such control issues. Drives me Ffffing nuts. But, you’re totally right, ULTIMATELY, you really can’t control anyone — they’ll do whatever they want and will find a way to do it. I’m finding my own ways to do what I want without him knowing about it.

I was just thinking about this story the other day, remembering the girl sticking her ass out of the window. LOL.

LMAO That’s innovative.

Wow! I hope they lived in the country because otherwise the neighbors must have gotten one hell of a regular show.

Wonder if they are still married?

I used to try to control everything in my life because if something, anything, was amiss, I freaked out. Life has a way of forcing you to deal with the crumbs and wrinkles. Life goes on even if everything is not perfect. I’d rather walk away than try to control someone – too tiring.

Aries Sun, Cancer NN, nothing in Libra or Capricorn, although Saturn Venus conj ASC sort of takes care of that.

lol..omg, that’s hilarious and sad at the same time. But, I’m viewing it as hilarious right now.
