Here is a Jupiter in Sagittarius question regarding your beliefs. Carielle wrote about a series of traumatic events during a Pluto transit and wound up with this:

“…and have gotten better, which is probably a good thing, as people were starting to ask me what I did to piss off God that badly.”

This was interesting because I was going to post on exactly this topic. The soldier feels he pissed off God quite severely at one time and he is now living a series of lives… many, many, many, many lives meant to teach him a lesson. We were talking about this more extensively this weekend and he said…

“I am here to tell you, that you just don’t want to go around pissing off God. For example, take the Titanic. That guy said, God couldn’t even sink this ship! So what do you think God is going to do? God is going to teach that guy a lesson, that’s what. And not only is he going to sink the ship, he’s going to do it with an ice cube! There! There is your ship, God can’t sink! I sunk it with an ice cube, you bastard!”

Do you think it’s possible to piss of the Universe?

Oppositions are far and away my favorite thing in astrology.
This is a story about people on separate sides with something in common.

Genius and criminal mind, Arie, joined Special Forces as a teenager. He retired after one term (or whatever you call it) and went to work as a detective for the San Francisco Police Department for the next 30 years. One day he got a call.

Apparently some person or persons was in a gas station restroom, creating some kind of problem for the other customers so the owner of the station called the police.

This is from 2007. I was talking to my friend, Ben, about my now husband…

Ben and I have tracked each other for 25 years. We keep each other filled in as to what we’re up to, the turns we make in our lives and so forth. We were talking about the soldier, and the various ways my association with him has been impacting and influencing me. I have a 7th house Uranus. So does Ben. It indicates a strong attraction to the unusual.

Dear Beleaguered,

I feel very bad for you because it seems you are surrounded by the enemy. Just who is on your side here? No one I can identify.

Now I am very sorry but I don’t think your situation is likely to work out and your husband is the reason why. He is not really married to you, is he? He is married to his mother, to his mother’s mother, to his friends and to his motherland. And if you will accept all this, then fine. He’ll be married to you too and if not? Well then apparently you can kiss his ass.

Now to his credit (and yours for being honest about this), it does not seem he misrepresented himself. So what you got here is exactly what you bargained for, which was a really crappy bargain.

Because it sounds like you do everything. Except maybe plow the back forty and rub down the cows and as you can see… none of this matters. You are not only not appreciated, you are completely discardable to these people – and preferably as soon as possible.

So you see the situation here. I believe you’ve made a mistake. And I agree with the grandma, you should get out before you have a child – but not for his sake, for yours!!

Because it’s obvious you are not cut out to live in a family compound and believe me, these pricks are going to keep up the pressure until they win and they will win. Why? Because you are one. And they are many, and they are mean.

I say, run! Run for your life. This is not a family you want to be part of. As if they’d let you.

And if you leave, brace yourself. Because this family is going to blame you for everything while they coddle him. So you get the picture. Stay or go, you aren’t going to win.

I’m sorry.

Good luck.

Dear Confused,

I am sorry this man’s mixed signals set you on a path to confusion, but at this point his signals are abundantly clear. He is not interested. And further, you are not going to get “closure” because he is not going to give it to you. The reason being that he’s not capable of giving it to you.

He is also not capable of telling you that he doesn’t like you, that he likes someone else better, that he changed his mind or whatever else his reason for pulling away may be. And if you have even a modicum of class (he doesn’t), then you will respect his shortcomings and relent with contacting him and/or professing your love. And beyond that you can learn from this. Because these are facts:

I have Mars Mercury conjunct. A trickster. My husband has Aries. This is from 2007.

“Well they don’t know about me,” I said. “I’m… well, I’m your ace in the hole.”

“Ace? You’re a lot more than that. You’re my 155mm cannon in the hole,” he said.

“What’s that?”

“Big gun. Big, big gun. P. Take out nearly a whole square with one of those.”

“Oh, well that sounds like something good to have.”

“Yeah, it is if you’re a soldier. When fighting someone you’re always better off if you’ve got the bigger gun. And you, P, are as big a gun as they make.”

What would you do if you noticed a friend had pulled away? Would you question them? Try to pull them back in? Or would you let them be, maintaining the friendship within the new frame they’d established?

Where is your Venus and how is it aspected?

This is from 2008. I made the video because someone asked me about minor aspects. I ignore them due the 80/20 rule which applied to astrology would state that 80% of a person’s problems are caused by 20% of the aspects in their chart.

I am pulling this up now because I want to expand on this theory…use astrology efficiently!

satori featured this question on her blog in 2007:

“If your house was burning down and you only had time to save one thing, what would it be?”

(Assuming all children and animals were safe)

Having Libra, I would not be able to decide what to take so I would leave it all. With Venus mashed with Neptune it’s the nebulous I value anyway. Also, being wiped out is acceptable to my packed 8th house.

What would you save? Can you see the “why” in your chart?

“…Scorpios are definitely overrated, just as Virgos are underrated.”

I agree that Virgo is underrated as is Capricorn. Pisces is rarely valued outside of being a sex toy for Scorpio so I would call them underrated as well. I can’t see that any of the signs are overrated. You?

Is there are sign you feel is given more credit than they deserve? How about a sign that is undervalued?
