Dear Elsa,

This is a question about Aries in a person’s chart and fighting.  Do you  find this placement in men who are abusive and where would that be in the chart??? Just a question I didn’t want to  post it on the blog, I don’t want to offend (Libra mars).  Just curious.

The current thread reminded me of this from last February…

I was talking to a pal last night, she’s dating an Aries. You have to challenge Aries or else. This blog is full of women (and men) writing about how their Aries lover has lost interest after they have offered their total devotion. Aries hates that!

Aries is the God of War, not love. Put Venus in one of the Mars-ruled signs and it starts to cook. It gets hot. Mars likes to fight. Venus in Aries makes war of love and love of war and this is the story I told this gal last night…

When I worked at Frito-Lay, I was the number one salesperson in the state. I was 25 at the time and I became aware of my position when headquarters decided send a weekly report to each salesperson, disclosing everyone’s sales. This was a new thing designed to foster competitiveness and increase the bottom line. Frito was constantly tinkering like this because there are major big bucks in potato chips and they were after every single one of them.

Once upon a time I knew this gal. This as 15 years ago, she was an Aquarian with an Aries Moon. That’s really positive male energy and we had a Scorpio friend in common.

He introduced us. He brought her to me for a consultation because of my specific history. He thought I could give her an edge.

She was Saturn Return age (28-29 years old), at the time and she was starting a business. The Saturn return marks the time when the universe really pressures you to find your calling and define yourself as an adult. So this gal was right on schedule.

Ms Scarlett writes on Please Don’t Fix Me:

“…maybe that’s the Libra wanting us to have the balance between the very direct and the dipshit (your words) grin. I bet that grin has saved your butt many times– As in how can I take her head off for saying something like that when she has such a nice smile. I think that’s a gift Elsa.”

Ms Scarlett,  I agree. I think what I do here is dare-devilish and I would not be able to do it  if even one hair on my head was different. I can’t look too good, I can’t look too bad. I can’t be too young, too old or any other thing. I have to be sort of palatable if that makes sense and yes, it is a balance.

Every experience I have ever had also contributes to the production of this blog. I can tell you for sure I am firing on all cylinders when I write here which is something I am grateful to be able to do. I am constantly challenged and constantly stepping up to meet the challenge and I mean this occurs on a daily basis.

Although I do not have an easy time here, there is nothing about this blog that is a grind and I am grateful for that.  I recognize myself as someone who wants to push against resistance.

Do you enjoy challenge? Where is your Mars?

The soldier and I were sitting on the couch and here comes Vidroid (with his ultra-Cardinal, bossy energy).

“Okay, I want to see a fight,” he said. “I want to see how mean you are,” he said pointing to me. “And I how loud you are,” he said, pointing at the to the soldier. “Now, ACTION!”

We both looked at him dumbly. Apparently this was his response to be told the other night, who was loud and who was mean.

“Sorry, babe but we are not puppets who fight on demand,” I said.

“Dang!” he said. “I want to see this.”

I thought I’d tell you what happened the first time Vidroid met the soldier.  It was stunning but first you have to know what happened the first time they talked on the phone.  It was about 8 months ago and I was mortified.

We were in the parking garage, I had both kids and I was taking my daughter to the doctor when the soldier called.  My daughter got on the phone  and chatted with him – They had already met. She’s a Gemini, he has Venus in Gemini so no problems.  My son asked to speak with him as well so I handed him the phone.

Vidroid called him by his first name and announced this:  “When I see you, I am going to beat you up. I am going to kick your ever-lovin’ butt,” he said.

That was literally his opening line. No hi, no nothing, I thought I’d die.  Instead I wheeled around with a look to kill.

‘What did you say to him? Give me that!”

For all the Aries energy out there (and square Mars to boot) here come some MAN truck stories…

“Stopped at a rest area so I could work out and as always all the truckers got on the radio and started teasing me, talking about me.”

“Yeah? Like what?”

(swearing and other possibly offensive words people use when no one is looking below break)

We went out for (hot) Mexican food. My Mars ruled face is red (the mars color) courtesy whisker burn from the soldier.

Ha ha ha ha.

What Mars energy have you encountered today?

The Sun is in Aries is squaring Mars in Cancer and people are wholly pissed, have you noticed?  If you have planets around 7-12 degrees Cardinal you are almost guaranteed to be embroiled in something.  Everybody wants to fight and it’s not that some of these fights aren’t necessary I am just noticing people are incredibly driven to take a stand today… to cut off the head of the enemy and I just wonder if there won’t be a serious hangover come Monday.

So what about you? Are you on the attack and/or being attacked today?  What do you see out there?
