Here’s another story about Kay (a real person with a fake name) – a double Aquarius gal I used to run with. This is circa 1994.

We were out for the evening in downtown Denver, which is a walking around situation. You park the car and walk from here to there and everywhere. Kay had to pee so we stopped in a little bar we’d never been in before, and made our way through it to the restrooms in the back.

It was a small place, both the bar and the restroom. In fact, it was a one-seater in there, so she went in, while I waited outside restroom door. I got talking to a man standing nearby who was great distress.

From 2006 – Pedro is a pseudonym.

Ben is a life long friend of mine. 25 years or so. He a Scorpio, and a bi-racial, gay, cello player and teacher. He’s plays with various symphony orchestras and has been the musical director of a school district for more than twenty years. We’re on the phone here.

“Oh, Elsa. I have this one kid. He is such a mess. He’s a terrible mess and his mother doesn’t help. She always saying, wait’ll you get married and have kids, Pedro,” he clucked. “Pedro isn’t going to do that. Pedro is gay!”

Dear Libra,

I don’t want to be insensitive to the challenge of being a lesbian in your culture but I think you are missing the plot here.

Your girlfriend is incredibly self-centered. She is setting out to use a man so that she can have a baby with the intention of leaving him which will deprive both the father and her child and why is she doing this? Because she is incredibly self-centered.

Ben is half-white/ half-black, a gay cello player and teacher. We have been very close friends for twenty years. He’s a Scorpio, with an Aquarius rising and an Aries Moon. Here he defends (Saturn) his eccentricity (Uranus).

Ben has taught cello in the local school system for 20 years… barefoot. He plays with various symphony orchestras, same way. Barefoot. I dialed him up one night.

“Hello?”

“How are you, Ben?”

“Okay, Elsa. Except someone called me eccentric, today.”

Aquarius is known to be eccentric. “Yeah?” I asked.

Dear Elsa,

I’m a gay man who recently met a Libra man who is two years older than me (They are 55 and 57). We communicate well, joke around and have very similar dietary and exercise habits. He is much more calm than I am which balances things out. My question
is that he seems aloof at times and very into his job and caring for his dog and is a homebody.

Any advice on how a Scorpio should understand a Libra man besides just chilling and letting things take their course?? Thanks!!

Scorpio Man

Dear Scorpio, letting things take there course is always the best plan. General tips for Libra – well they love to partner. Once partnered they can relax and it sounds like this is what this man is doing.

You also specifically state he is balancing things out which is the job of Libra. This means if you act one extreme they will typically act the other but if you do too much of this (Scorpio manipulating), you risk pissing off the Libra which is always disastrous. Because while Libra does try very hard to be pleasant, if you get one to blow, you can expect a bloodbath.

Good luck

Dear Confused,

He’s cool but you are not, so I am going to try to help with that and I hope you don’t get too pissed off at me in the process. First, what this guy has is a hook in your mouth. Feel it, know it, understand it is there. So while you are a fish on his hook, he has no such problem. He’s got this guy over here… you over there and more than likely he’s got some other hooks out as well so how does this make you feel? A little less giddy, I hope.

You (with a stellium in Scorpio) have given your power up to some guy for a kiss and if you don’t mind being caught while he swims free, then do nothing but if you want your freedom back or if you want to wind up with this guy, you are going to have to take your power back and it’s not that hard to do.

Just turn off the faucet. Quit responding to text messages. For Godsakes quit lying because it is clear from your post (and your planets in Sagittarius) that it makes you uncomfortable and besides that it’s getting you nowhere.

Once you have cut off the energy you are giving him, one of two things will happen. He will go away or come closer and my bet is he will come closer.

If he comes closer, this is when you tell him they way it’s got to be if he wants to have an interaction with you because it appears you have some standards and then you go from there. If he does not come closer, I wouldn’t worry about it because like you said, if he does this to one boyfriend then he will probably (not positively) do it you.

But if you do get together and he does not do it to you it will be because you have found your strength and power and prowess and decided to use these things rather than leave them lying about.

My advice – Get that hook out, do it now.

Good luck.

Dear Aquarian,

No, I don’t think there is any hope of changing the dynamic of this relationship and it suits you perfectly as is, whether you realize this or not.

As an Aquarian with Venus in Aquarius you want a lot of space and with this man, you get it. You also have your Moon and Mars in Aries so you like the challenge he provides. He must be perennially hunted, see? But most of all it’s the pining.

You have Venus square Neptune and there is a part of you that is addicted to pining for this un-gettable man but check this:

If you get him… if you actually get this guy and nail him down I guarantee you the situation will flip on you. Instead of where you are now, you will be pining for freedom and challenge. Pretty trippy, huh?

I admit that living in this hall of mirrors with various drives conflicting is a job.  However it is your job and at least you’re not bored or boring.

Good luck.

Dear Girlfriend,

I really have no way of telling if your boyfriend is gay or not. I suspect he is not considering he has spent four years with you and seems comfortable enough interacting with another man. Point being: if he wants it, there it is. You are obviously open-minded so it’s not like the sky is going to fall if he come up with this so it makes me think while his friend may very well be gay (and in love with him) your boyfriend is merely being Aquarian.

To address all points, the fact that you suspect your mother makes me suspect your mother as well so I factor her out and it leaves me to wonder why you are feeling lonely and unattractive. Is it because he is neglecting you in favor of his friend? Or is it because he is boring you?

Because it sounds to me as if he could be being himself (a detached, non-judgmental, not that interested in sex, Aquarian) and you could be finding out you want something very different in a man and on this I have some personal experience.

I had an Aquarian beau once and I was just a million times more sexual and tactile than he was. I also had a very close friend (Ben – we’re still friends 20 years later), who is gay and I asked him… ‘Is this guy gay or what?”

He asked me how much time the man spent with me and I told him he called me 10 times a day and saw me 5 or 6 times a week. Verdict? Not gay.

“Gay men like men, Elsa. They really have very little interest in women but they love men and there is no way they are going to waste that much of their time in the company of a woman when there are men… everywhere.”

So apply that when debating your boyfriend’s sexual preference and beyond that, here is my advice:

I would definitely not confront him about his sexuality. Instead, focus on what you are getting from the relationship. Because it sounds to me as if you are not getting what you want and need, regardless if he is gay, straight or zebra.

Good luck.

Dear Man,

This is a great question and while I can’t make a decision for you, I am happy to offer my opinion – and in my opinion you should definitely go back. Go back because you love him and he loves you and this is not all that easy to find.

As to whether you are asking for too much, well you are not. But you asking him to give you something that does not come easy for him and making yourself miserable in the process. In other words you are focusing on the lack, which while it may be real becomes insignificant if you opt to refocus.

The idea of refocusing on the positive goes without saying but you can go much further if you like. You can opt to raise the bar on yourself around what kind of lover you are – and rather than looking to how he can improve, make yourself better than ever.

Make yourself better than ever by being the kind of lover who does not ride their partner’s ass all the time and you will be in demand and loved like never before. And oddly enough, when your partner perceives your higher value, he is very like to start hitting up those birthdays which he knows damned well are important to you… before someone else decides to do it for him. So this is my advice:

Get off his ass, get on your own, watch the result and marvel. And the astrology?

You have hard aspects from Saturn which does give a tendency towards seeing the glass as half-empty. Thing is you can turn this around with work and I promise that if you do, you will see everything in your life improve.

Good luck.
