My husband and I have our Mercuries (minds) in opposition.  I used to write about this all the time (100 posts Aries vs Libra) because it’s such an interesting dynamic.  The opposition is tight, for one thing but also, there is a real match or affinity in that his Mercury is in Aries (Mars) and my Mercury is in opposing sign Libra, conjunct Mars.  This gives us dueling mind like dueling banjos and to just to complete the picture, his north node is conjunct my Mars Mercury so he’s to be at least trying to understand me as I learn from him.

Having a fairly strong Libra / 7th house signature in my chart I have always been uncomfortable with the crusade against co-dependence that began in the 80′s. How can Libra (codependent) be all wrong and Aries (independent) be all right?

Masaru Emoto (the water crystal guy) writes in his new book, The Shape of Love: Discovering Who We Are, Where We Came From, and Where We’re Going :

“… Dependence requires getting closer to someone, and this requires courage. I am positive that you can find someone you feel natural and comfortable with to build such a relationship. Once you become comfortable depending on someone else, you will be able to let others depend on you.”

I like that he has married the opposition between Aries in Libra here by asserting it takes courage (Aries) to relate to the other (Libra). Do you agree?

Is it more courageous to stand alone, or alongside another?

Astrologer, cf Perez got my attention when she made a statement about inequity in relationships.

She said that when one person in a relationship gave far more than the other, the person who was indebted filled in with anger. I was stunned with this simple observation and I think she’s correct.

Saturn is in Libra opposing the stellium in Aries and another astrologer wrote on this topic (Aries vs Libra) yesterday. It reminded me of the posts I used to write of the conversations between my husband and I that are tagged aries vs libra. They are definitely topical at this point.

I scrolled through ten pages of them so there are at least 100 posts. Some of them are serious but most of them are funny and some are hysterical.

Don’t click if you don’t like swearing because this is Mars-y stuff but otherwise, click and enjoy.

For newbies, my husband – the mouth, has Mercury in Aries and I have Mercury (conjunct Mars) in Libra and we just duel with our minds all the time.

Aries vs Libra – A big theme over the next months…

“I  don’t think I can do anything without a partner,” I explained to a pal. “I really can’t, I just get stuck.”

“I can’t either,” she said. “And people give me a hard time about it.”

“Why?”

“Because they think you’re like them?”

This post will seem harsh to many but I offer it because we’ve got the stellium in Aries set to oppose Saturn in Libra and I think this has value. It’s worth mentioning that Mars and Mercury will be part of the Aries stellium, opposing my natal Mars Mercury conjunction Libra. It’s a safe bet, my lessons will be pointed.

I was talking to the soldier, circa 2007…

“By the way,” I said. “I have been thinking about something.”

He was working on something and turned to look at me. “What’s that?”

“Well you’re all the time threatening to kill people. Do you know that? At least once a day you threaten to kill someone but more like about three or four times on average,” I said with both a stare and a smile.

“Yeah and I think it a lot more than that,” he said.

“Not surprised. So I decided I should try to figure out if you might actually do it. You threaten this constantly but do you mean it? Might you do it, or are you just blowing off steam?” Continue reading What Are The Odds You Kill Someone?

The Moon in Aries opposing the Sun in Libra highlights the me/we axis. This full moon hits my chart hard, I think it’s pretty obvious by the writing around here but the situation with the soldier and I today is pretty interesting.

We talk all time, at least 10 times a day maybe more but today we incommunicado at least for us. Our conversations today have been very brief because he needs some down time and I can sense it. It’s pretty cool…

“I sure wish I could read Spanish,:” I told the soldier on the phone standing outside of Vid’s karate studio.

“Well it’s not that hard to read. It’s easier then English. What is it you’re trying to read, P?”

“Some girl’s ass.”
