Undermining By Questioning A Person’s Motives – Nasty, Nasty Neptune
Astrology in Real Life…
This is from 2007. If you’re confused about Neptune in astrology, this might help.
I was talking to my husband before we married…
“People suspect your motives,” I said. “They think you are up to something… up to no good. It’s the same thing that happened when we were kids. (The Professor Of Art History in The Soldier and P) Happened in 2003 too, remember.”
“In 2003?”
“Yeah, that guy told me you were oppressing me to liberate yourself,” I said. (This is the ultimate insult to a Special Forces soldier who is sworn to liberate the oppressed). Continue reading Undermining By Questioning A Person’s Motives – Nasty, Nasty Neptune
Astrology and Old Souls, Lightweights, Blank Slates and Various Other Sundries
Conversations with Ben…
I wrote this in 2006. My views have changed since, but I still think this is an interesting topic. The picture is from when, Ben and I met, right when Saturn entered Scorpio, 28 years ago.
I was talking to Ben last night, my very close friend of 20 years +. Ben is a Scorpio with an Aquarius rising. He a gay cello player / teacher of mixed race and an iconoclast.
“Someone in Wichita told me I had an old soul” he said. “And I suppose I do. I imagine I’ve wandering around these halls for awhile.”

Astrology-Based Advice: Devastating Young Life – Sexual Abuse, Parents Dead: Sun Conjunct Saturn In Scorpio
Dear Elsa,
I have had problems in my life since as long as I can remember. My parents died when I was young, I was sexually abused as a child, I never lived in a place for more than 2 years, and I ran away at 16. However I remained a fairly happy child through all this.
Now as an adult, I’m constantly fighting fits of depression or incredible anger. One moment I’m fine, the next I’m blowing up at my husband because he pronounced a word wrong (or something else small like that). I feel like I’m never truly happy and I don’t know how it that is, now that I have everything I’ve wanted for so long (a family and security).
I also have a tendency to pretty much live in the past. I just can’t let it go. Is there something wrong with me or is it part of my destiny to suffer?
In Pain
Dear In,
No, I don’t think it is your destiny to suffer, I think it’s your destiny to heal and beyond that to help others heal. Who better for that than you? With your vast experience of suffering you are uniquely positioned, don’t you think? I do. But let me address some of these other things.
Your experience is common for survivors of abuse. You finally get yourself to a place where you have a modicum of security and this is when the shit hits the fan. Because prior to this time, you are functioning in some sort of survival mode. Functioning highly too, something you should be proud of. But now it’s time to heal.

Two Grand Trines In Earth… Two Dogs Eat Like Hogs
Astrology in Real Life
For the current Grand Trine in earth – my husband on the phone, circa 2007:
“That’s what I love about us, P. I love how we eat. We get eating some Italian food and there is no stoppin’ us. We eat with our fingers all dirty, we just eat and eat until it hits us, we can’t eat anymore.”

“Well I feel the same way about you,” I said to a pal. “Nobody seems to know who you are. Your family for example. Why don’t they know you? I mean, they do know you but the things they know are not the important things. They don’t know any of the things that count.”

Astrology, Psychology, Pathology – Nature, Nurture And The Chicken And The Egg
Astrology in real life
This is from 2007… did not get much attention back then. I wonder what people think now.
Yesterday there was some discussion about a woman’s asexuality being pathological here and here. Turns out the soldier and I were talking about this a couple days prior. He had told me a story from his childhood.
“Now see,” I said. “Some people would say your whole life is pathological. They would say your career was over-compensation for that experience and experiences similar to that experience. What do you think about that?” Continue reading Astrology, Psychology, Pathology – Nature, Nurture And The Chicken And The Egg
Who Feels Compassion For The People No One Feels Compassion For? Scorpio!
Astrology in real life…
Who feels compassion for the people no one feels compassion for? It’s Scorpio, hands down. I have no idea how I would survive without Scorpio. I don’t think I’d manage.
During the time I refer to in this video, Compassion And Sympathy: Who Garners Yours, Who Does Not And Why I was married to man with 5 planets in Scorpio. He had tremendous compassion for me. My ex, The AMF? Scorpio sun, part of a stellium in the sign, also tremendously compassionate. My friend, Ben? Scorpio Sun who sustained me singlehandedly for 2 solid years.

Scorpio and 8th House Types: Trust and Friendship
Astrology in Real Life…
I was talking to someone who was wanting to form a relationship with a person whose nature is similar to mine. I wound up describing the process I go through internally when I make a new friend. I explained that anyone who came on with too much, too fast, a “new best friend” sort made me incredibly nervous.
“When someone comes in and thinks they are going to fill up my life, I feel completely overwhelmed. I may like them initially but if my phone starts ringing off the hook, well right then I know I’m not going to be able to sustain the relationship.”
