Dear Curious,

I don’t think you are incapable of a serious relationship. You’re challenged maybe, along with the rest of us. The problem with you and this is guy is this simple: you didn’t fit!!

Square peg, Round hole. Square peg. Round hole. Square peg. Round hole.

No matter how hard you try, this is never going to work but it does not follow that either of you are misshapen. I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s hard enough to keep something together when there is compatibility.

With your Saturn (a teacher) in the 7th house (partners), there are lessons to be learned from your relationships.

In this case the lesson in this: when you try to put a shoe on and your foot won’t go in, you need another shoe!

Good luck.

“Why would she do that?” I asked a friend in true puzzlement. “Jack me up over and over and then come try to be friends?”

“Well she wants something, I guess.”

“Well jeez. Don’t you cross the bridge before you burn it?” I said with a snort.

“Another major change is dropping the advice columns. I think ppl really liked the specific advice based on a person’s astrological signatures. Personally, I miss them!”

Actually they were not dropped. The advice posts died on their own, or more succinctly I allowed them to die because after writing them for two years, I still had to beg for questions.

It occurs to me that the Virgo moon between Saturn and Mars is like a runner caught in a chasedown between bases:  you’ve got to keep your ye on the ball, who’s got it, where and when it’s getting thrown, and just keep on your toes ready to make a break for it if you get a chance.  You’ll probably get tagged out but you gotta keep moving anyway.

How are the rest of you Pisces coping?

Dina quotes me on the Pisces Hook blog:

“Really? That’s surprising to me about you since you definitely tell it like it is to a lot of people who need help, lance the boil so to speak. Particularly hooked Pisceans who are kidding themselves! How does this play out in your astrology, if I may ask? Your Neptune has something to do with it, I suppose.”

Dina – I don’t think it has anything to do with Neptune. It has to do with boundaries. People ask me what I think and I tell them. I would never bother someone with my ideas or confront their denial otherwise. It is really none of my business what people do and if you read this blog it’s pretty clear I am focused on my own life and growth. I just don’t worry about what other people are doing right up until the hire me that is.

Hire me and I am on it but other than that I have waaaay too much respect for people to think that I know when they should face something. As far as I am concerned everyone has an inner clock. They have their own timing and their own agenda for their life which I am not even going to think about messing with, know why?

Because I am busy running my life of course.

Dear Saturn,

The idea something is ‘seriously wrong with you” is harsh criticism and a textbook manifestation of Saturn in Virgo. Yes, Saturn in Virgo is the only earth in your chart – which means it is enormously important you be put in touch with it which is what this transit will accomplish.

And I wouldn’t worry about how this is going to occur because it’ll just happen and when it does, rejoice. Because denying this part of you is as bad for your soul as denying creativity or emotion or sex drive or anything else.

Specific to exercise, it can be gotten in many forms. Forms like dancing. Dancing is fluid and expressive and a great body is byproduct of that. There is fun exercise (roller skating) and exercise that is meditative (walking or yoga). There is exercise where the challenge or sense of accomplishment is the thing (mountain climbing). Point being you don’t have to focus on exercise, per se. You can sneak up on it or let it sneak up on you.

Good luck.

This used to be called ElsaElsa – The Advice Blog and it’s morphed over time. With less focus there, the advice feature of this blog has become less prominent and I don’t really want that to happen if it can be avoided.

Based on the email it seems a lot of people assume I am flooded with questions and this has only rarely been the case. I get steady requests for “look at my chart” but I cannot use these questions because they do not fit the format of the blog.

It’s the difference between, “This my chart, this is the chart of my boyfriend, are we going to get married” and “I am having this problem… it’s goes like this, so what should I do or how can I fix it?”

One of those is a request for advice that works out for this blog, the other is something that should be addressed in a private consultation which I charge for.

I wanted to post these guidelines because it’s been awhile. I also want to let people know if they send a request for advice that fits the format, the odds are overwhelming it will be chosen for the blog. Your mail is not one of thousands… it is seen.

Bottom line, the quality of the advice portion of this blog has always been dependent on the questions I receive. In other words, it takes other people’s energy so if you have some lying around, by all means send it.

Beyond that I want to invite people to send questions they would like to see posted on blog as “open questions” where the readers here weigh in. I have no criteria for these questions other than they seem interesting. So if you want an array of opinions about something, you can get them via this blog, anonymously which I think is pretty cool. There are some damned good astrologers that read here and other deep and/or high minded thinkers and I would like to see the open question feature more fully developed.

Thanks.
