I had an interesting question from a reader about “high IQ”. I think most would agree there are all kinds of intelligence out there. There are deep thinkers, broad thinkers, the emotionally intelligent and so forth.

I think I have inherited intelligence to an extent but it has been honed by the fact I have spent pretty much my entire life under intense stress and pressure which have forces me to develop.

Loonsounds writes on Giving, regarding her mother

“…every penny she has saved for her whole life and now her portfolio is down 60 percent and it really actually does look like she could run out of money. So, in addition I have now learned that being cheap is no guarantee of financial security in late life anyway (not that it would have changed me)…”

Very good point. In fact, greed has a pretty sorry reputation actually.

In response to Lupa, “Not a brag, just a fact..”

Well… you see the astrology – it’s acute. For someone like me with that Mercury profile to be self-effacing would be ridiculous. And think about it. How could I write this blog if I were even bit different?

But then look at the videos! That is one spacey chick. How many times have you seen tears cross my eyes?

But by God, I have convictions which is why when people come on here to complain, I do not back down.

This is Claire-France Perez again. I always talk to her in as Mars-y voice as I please (ha ha, Mars in Libra says please) because I know she likes the energy. Or she acknowledges it or whatever is is she does. You do not have to think or talk PC with her which is of course a great relief to someone like me. She’s like a port in the storm.

“Well you know you’re looking for a fight when you get pissed off at your tea,” I said. “I drink this tea and it has these quotes on the teabag. I used to like this a dozen years ago but now I read what these old bastards have to say and I don’t agree!”

Happiness Is In The Genes, Say Scottish Scientists

Jamie Beatson writes:

“Psychologists at Edinburgh University found that inherited genes control up to half of the personality traits that keep us happy.

<snip>

The group were able to identify evidence of common genes that result in certain personality traits, which in turn predispose people to happiness…”

SaDiablo writes regarding discussion of the people at these meetings attacking me (last time):

“They should’ve picked an easier target, perhaps. *snicker* “

Yeah but I have those dimples. NO matter what I do I look like someone’s (energetic?) wife. It is a true freak out to people when they talk to me and find out not only do I know reeeeams of information but I will communicate in plain language what has been distilled over a lifetime… and then shrug.

I don’t mean to do this, I have no choice. I have to answer the questions and these are the answers to the questions and there is just no smoke about it. Mars Mercury in the 9th is going to relay information in a way that is direct and honest. “This is the knife and this is the knife going in.”

On the way to mass this morning…

The soldier’s Saturn (slow, guide, control, grown up) in aspect to my Mars Mercury (speeding cowboy) in the 9th (religion).

“Nervous,” I said.

“Don’t worry about it,” he said.

“Okay. But I would like to sit in the back, back, back,” I said.

“The back, back, back?”

“Yeah. So if I mess something up, no one will see me.”

“Well I like to sit in the middle, middle, middle.”

I glanced over and rolled my eyes. “Well I said I was going to have your experience your way, so middle, middle, middle it is. Did you ever see me drive this slow in your life?” I asked. “I think I am going below the speed limit.”

“No I’ve never seen you drive this slow and I appreciate it.”

“You like this?”

“I do.”

At that point, I gave up.

I was talking to the soldier… we both have a strong Jupiter signature in our chart.

“I don’t think there are two people on the planet that could do what we’re doing right now,” he said.

“What’s that?”

“Getting together the way we do.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You don’t see how unusual this is?” he asked.

“No. No, I have no idea what you mean.”

“Well I don’t know how you could have no idea this is unusual.”

“Well I don’t know. We’re getting together. People do it all the time.”

“Not like this.”

“Oh God, what do you mean?

“P, we’re meeting up in all these cities. We’re a 1000… we’re 1500 miles apart and we meet up with an hour’s notice. And we do it over and over and over again. You don’t think that’s odd or remarkable?”

“No, that hasn’t occurred to me. Why is it odd? What are we doing? We’re meeting because we want to. We want to meet so we do. Why is it strange? It’s not strange as far that I can see.”

‘Well it is strange. No other two people would do this. They’d say this is too hard. It’s too much trouble.”

“Hmm. Well I’ll think about it but I’m telling you I don’t know what you mean.”

“People can’t do this,” he said. ‘They just don’t have our adventurous spirit, P.”

I laughed. “Oh that. Well yeah, I do like to go. Oh I see what you mean. You mean people want things to be delivered. Is that what you mean?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, well I’m not like that. When I want something I go help myself. I hardly ever want anything but when I do I want it bad and I will definitely go wherever I have to go to get it. When you only want something every ten years or so, you can do this,” I said with a chortle. “In whatever case, it does seem normal to me. It’s just not queer at all but sitting down or lying around when you’re accessible would be very queer indeed. I’m going to roll every time.”

What’s Jupiter like in your chart?

My daughter has a Virgo Mars which is another Mars Mercury exchange. We were in the car on Friday, I was dropping my kids for the weekend before I left to meet the soldier.

“Yeah, it’s going to be another longish trip,” I said. ‘So you’ll be spared that.”

“Yeah,” she said before launching into a lecture about that crummy singer in the band she likes.

“Oh, him. Thanks for reminding me I’m going to spared listening to that guy all across the country. I should appreciate that.”

“And I’ll be spared you complaining about people who drive slow in the left lane.”

I turned and stared. “Okay, well I do, do that so touche’.”

I had impulse to launch into a preachy tirade about why this was justified but caught myself… barely.

Do you go on and on?

I started keeping an Amazon Wish List about six months ago. And I think the Amazon Wish List is one of the best ideas ever because it allows people to do nice things for other people. Did you know you can search a person’s name and pull up their wish list? I learned that from a Scorpio Mars.

So anyway, I don’t want much. I think I’m just a born ascetic because the things I value are almost all ethereal. It’s that or just the fact I grew up with nothing, which never bothered me and it still doesn’t. However, occasionally I want a book.
