kashmiri writes regarding Saturn

“Basically a person needs to accept there is no ‘get out of jail free card’ and things improve. Exponentially.”

kashmiri, I understand what you are saying and know you would elaborate but I have to jump on and argue this. I have been handed many, many “get out of jail” free cards in life. I have stood on the ground and looked up at the sky time and time again and asked God exactly this:

“You’ve got to be kidding me? You mean I am going to get away with this?”

And apparently God approves because I do get away with the thing.

I have had it all, from judges who rule for me even though I am 100% wrong and say so in open court to enjoying spontaneous unexplainable healing after devastating injury. These things happen to me, I swear they do and as far as I am concerned it may very well be Saturn giving me the pass. What is a judge if not Saturn? It is as if the authority looks down on me and says you know what, Elsa? You don’t suck after all and this one is on me.

For the record, I also hand these cards out out all the time. Take my son. He is such a good kid. You think if he makes one mistake I am going to come down on him? I’m not. I am going to get him out of his trouble in the the most painless (for him) way possible and then shrug.

I think you can get beaten all your life and then run into someone who is just not going to be party to it under any circumstances and I think the people who spare you are the Capricorns I mentioned here -> Capricorn, Saturn and Compassion

Nice segue, huh?

If you do get them, to what do you attribute this too? 

All this book talk is disturbing me! It figures with the Moon in Sagittarius (publishing) in uncomfortable aspect with the outer planets.

But Sagittarius is about your beliefs. The Moon in Sadge would indicate beliefs that are personal and conjunct Pluto, make that your “deeply held” beliefs.

Factor in the aspect to Uranus and perhaps those deeply held beliefs are eccentric, but so?

The fact is I do not believe in pushing the publication of my book. I just don’t! Continue reading Publishing My Book and Today’s Disturbing Jupiter Moon Pluto Conjunction In Sagittarius

In relation to the idea of astrologers being persecuted, this was about fifteen years ago. I called my sister for a chat:

“I was thinking I was going to get a bumper sticker,” I said.

“What? Why would you do that?” she asked. “Bumper stickers aren’t for people like you. Forget that. Just get out of the car and tell them who you are like you usually do.”

I snorted. I hate when people know me better than I know me. But anyway I will never forget my first astrology club meeting. I finally got to “town” from the desert and showed up at this meeting and I was just astonished. Because the President of the club got up there to speak and announced in a coy, giddy, girly voice that she had done the unthinkable. She’d actually dropped a hint to someone at work that she had some passing interest in astrology. And I just couldn’t believe it. Huh? You’re the president of the astrology club!

And my attitude stems from Henry. Henry used to go to Flying Saucer conventions. He would travel out of state each year to attend… and his trucks (both of them) were covered in bumper stickers to attest to this:

SPACE PEOPLE ARE REAL
SPACE PEOPLE ARE OUR FRIENDS

So I grew up like this. You tell everyone you are a vegetarian even if it is unheard of in the era. You broadcast your beliefs, up to and including standing on your head in grocery stores in your geriatric years, to demonstrate the benefits of a meatless diet. You stand on the side of the road so you can meet Peace Pilgrim, by God! You show up!

So this is what I learned. But these days… well I have been in “town” awhile now and I understand that President gal now. I still can’t be her. I still have to hang my ass out here on a daily basis, but I understand her now and that’s something.

And I understand the soldier’s tattoos. He ascended to the absolute heights of his vocation. He’s been the best soldier in the world and he’s supposed to hide this? That’s ridiculous. How many can say they were the best in the world at anything? Should he not be proud? That is also ridiculous. It’s your problem if you don’t understand.

It’s obvious it takes all kinds but I am always going to be drawn to those with more courage than sense. Life is short. I am going to live mine and just hope I don’t go to jail.

But if I do, I will still be an astrologer, won’t I? And I’ll be reading charts for my jailed peers by memory of the ephemeris.

“Let’s see. So you’re a Scorpio, vintage 1962, so that means you have Mars in…”

Ha ha ha

Pictured – yep, that’s my ephemeris, I use it every day. It just lost its 3rd homemade cover. Drat!

So we collide at the truck stop and within a couple hours we’re on tour of the city, guided by a friend of the soldier’s who happens to be a history buff.

So we stop at the water… learn about the barges, get a history lesson the next thing you know we are driving by this gorgeous cathedral in St. Paul. I noticed it but had no idea we were stopping… however we were stopping.

“Let’s go in,” his friend said brightly.

The soldier and I didn’t even glance at each other. How could this guy know we had this knockdown drag out fight about this just a few days prior? Continue reading Jupiter In Sagittarius Seeks Meaning / Scorpio and the 8th House Thinks Everything In A Sign

Dear Once,

It’s very funny. I knew what I was going to have to say to you before I looked at your chart and when it popped up on the screen, with Saturn (oppression) in the 9th house (religion) opposing your Sun (your creative self), your Mercury (your thoughts) and the rest of your stellium in Virgo, well it doesn’t get plainer than this. Or cuter. And neater petite-r for a Virgo like you.

See these advice questions have to apply to more than one person to make it on to this blog. And I was going to tell you that to evolve in the course of your lifetime… be it around religion or anything else, when you are challenged there is really only one thing to do. Stand firm. You must have integrity and I am a good example.

I started identifying myself as an astrologer (as a career) at my Saturn return. Needless to say, I was mocked without mercy. People who knew me before I identified myself this way shook their heads and the new people I met… well most of them took a step back, not forward.

However, I am an astrologer. I will die an astrologer so when my future inl aws told a man who loved me that they would disown him if he married that “astrologer crystal ball person”, I remained an astrologer and I think you can see I understand your circumstance.

And I think everyone needs to stand for what they believe but in your case this could not possibly be any clearer, with a 9th house Saturn. Your beliefs (9th house) must have integrity (Saturn). And here’s the deal with an opposition like yours… which utterly dominates your chart by the way.

When you have an opposition like this in your chart you wind up living one side and projecting the other. So for awhile there, you were the Saturn in the 9th figure. You were the religious (9th house) authority (Saturn). But now you’re on the other end, being a critical thinking Virgo!! And what you have to do is own both sides.

Now I want to tell you, you are a preacher whether you like it or not. And if you go up there and read your post, you can see this is in your writing. There is a cadence of someone preaching. So really, you have not escaped your destiny, have you? You are still going to teach about religion or belief systems, it’s just that you beliefs have morphed!

So when these people come down on you… don’t let that stand. Don’t be the little Virgo maiden crushed by authority (the projected 9th house Saturn). Instead, get on you own box there and preach right back!! Because you have authority when it comes to religion / belief systems. But as long as you try to divorce yourself from this and ignore what is essentially your job on this planet… well you are going to continue to meet the oppressor outside yourself, and why is that?

It’s to force you to define (Saturn) your beliefs (9th house)… to one and all. And I can tell you from personal experience that when you do this eventually the opposition fades and support forms. There isn’t a person in the world who would dare try to tell me I shouldn’t be an astrologer now. What would it get them? A quizzical look?

Good luck.

People who don’t like astrology but do like me, always wind up asking me the same thing. How can a person as smart as you believe that planets have any impact on our lives? And I am always utterly baffled by this.

And I ask them where they think the line is. Just exactly where is the line between a person… you or me, and another person, or for that matter a planet in the sky?

See, I don’t understand. Because most people would agree that you can have a feeling… you can be in love with someone who is half way around the world. And those feelings travel. That person feels right there in the room with you. There is no separation at all. You are in England and they are in Africa, yet they are affecting you. Hmmm…

So the line that separates you from another entity is obviously pretty far out there. You can love across town, across the state and across the continent so why in the world would you someone think they are not connected to the planets in the sky? Is it because there is a line 10 feet above the earth that prevents connection? Or 20 feet out, or a 100? How could that be?

And I mention this today because of the extreme situation in the sky. Six planets are clustered in Scorpio today. Think about that. Up above, all the planets are stacked up against one another. Don’t you think that matters?

See, I can never figure out how people can diss astrology, but on a day like today it’s especially unfathomable to me that anyone could think what is going in with the planets in the sky is insignificant. I just can’t see how in the world could this be? How could all this energy be concentrated out there and… nothing!

To me it’s like saying the Sun doesn’t warm your skin when it shines. It’s like saying the Sun does not effect you because it’s way up there in the sky. And I’m sorry, but to me this is completely laughable. And I just wanted to say so on a day like today when things are so intense and concentrated, like the Sun burning your skin on a 120 degree day, they beg not to be denied.

So about these older African men, after all these years of this happening, I got to thinking about it. Because it never fails. I have had an older black man supporting me, and I mean absolutely accepting me and everything about me without equivocation all my life.

And when I move or they move, another man shows up. Someone just pops up to take this position and place in my life and here I go again with another African father figure.

And there is always a motorcycle involved! But never mind that, at least for now. The point is eventually I had to think about this. Why does this happen?

And I thought about the psychology and all kinds of things deep and meaningful. And I am aware this phenomenon is rooted to my core. But bottom line, I think this happens because I have some kind of imprint. You know. When I see an older black man, I just totally expect we’re going to hit off, have some fun, understand and appreciate each other and the whole nine yards.

And my face and my body language must convey this, right? Because these men I meet don’t have my background. It’s my script. But this constellates almost immediately, without fail so there has to be something in my demeanor.

And the point is I have this strong belief (Neptune) that older black men are incredibly freakishly cool to know. I believe this is real (Saturn) and it appears that what I believe becomes real because I believe it.

And I so seriously (Saturn) believe this (Neptune)… I’ve taken profound action. I have made life decisions based on this and I’ll tell you about them in my next blog. Meantime, you tell me.

Do you think you can believe something into reality? Or no?

Now regarding Bob Dylan, after writing that last blog, I mentioned it to the AMF who reminded me the story may not be true! Dylan is famous for making things up, specifically his history but I can’t see where this changes much. The story inspires… me!

Because I am a Saturn / Neptune type and routinely supported by imagined reality. But unlike Bob Dylan who is a lying Gemini, with Mercury in Gemini square Neptune, my stories are all true and I’ll tell you one of them.

I’ll tell you about my first epiphany which came when I was 8 years old. I call it the original Talking Pig and what happened was I in a very compromising position. I was in a life or death situation as far as I know when all of the sudden it was very clear to me, not only was I going to survive short term, but my life was going to be very long. Long, long, long. And I was not too happy about this at the time. In fact, I was infuriated!

And I’m sorry for how that sounds. It’s not depression, but Neptune. I would have preferred escape, see? Neptune in Scorpio, death as an escape. Get me out of here, but no. That was not what was going to be.

The Pig talked, or God talked, or perhaps my own little psyche talked. But in whatever case I came out of this experience knowing in my bones I was going to live a very long time. This was a fact that was unequivocal, so what do you suppose I did?

Well I’ll tell you. I believed this information and I believed it hard core. I knew this was true like I knew my name and once I knew it I could not un-know it. And I began to make all kinds of decisions based on this knowing.

For example, when I was 10, I mentioned I stole Henry’s truck and went to town! Because think about it. I’m a kid but I know I’m not going to die. So what’s the worst that can happen, hmm?

And you get the idea. I was a very, Very, VERY ballsy kid. And when I look back on my life I see that virtually everything I have ever done was colored by that experience and I don’t even know if it happened. Did it happen? Or did I imagine it happened? Caught in this crisis, did I simply make up (Neptune) reality (Saturn) on the spot?

So one day I was tending bar. I was legal by then, I was 19. And I was working in socks for some reason. Oh yeah! It was a costume and I like being barefoot.

But anyway of the customers looked over the bar and down at my feet. I guess he thought they were big or something because he said, “Jeez, Elsa, look at your feet. You’ve sure got a good grip on the earth.”

“You have no idea,” I said, smiling at him. Because obviously I knew I wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

And there was another time. I was tending bar again. I was about 20, I guess. And some bastard was really giving me a hard time. And not very many people gave me a hard time back then, or ever in my life for that matter. Because I am not what you would call the easiest person to fuck with, but this guy was managing. He was sharp as a knife and mean as hell and he had me completely on the ropes and in agony.

But then the Pig came back to me. And I walked over to this guy and got right in his face, across the bar. I mean, I got inches away from him. He was about 35.

“Let me tell you something, you bastard,” I said. “You listen to me.”

“What?” he said. He was glad I’d come back for more and ready to slap me down.

“You’re going to die. You’re going to die and when you do, I’ll still be here,” I said with total confidence and conviction.

And at that, the whole bar cracked up and the guy slinked out of there soon after.

But you get my point. I have lived my entire life shored up (Saturn) by this illusory thing (Neptune) that happened when I was a kid. And it goes on to this day.

“Don’t worry,” I tell various people. “I will be there when you die. I’m pretty sure I’m not going anywhere. I will be very shocked if I do. I have a very long life, whether I like it or not…”

“Why not like it?”

“Because I will be left when you die.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. I’d much rather get hit by a train, wearing earphones but that’s not what’s going to happen…”

And I feel so sure when I say these things. It’s as if they are simple facts. So here it is decades later and that Pig still plays. Like last year when I was called back after a routine mammogram for a 2nd look…

“Don’t worry. I doubt I have cancer and even if I do, obviously I’m going to survive it. Everyone knows my life is long. I just don’t get out like that. My life is much longer,” I said. “It’s longer by far.”

So there you go. I am the rare women going back to the doctor for a bad mammogram, completely devoid of fear and supported by… nothing.

And this is an example of hologram (Neptune) fear (Saturn) turned inside out. It’s hologram support that dissipates fear. And you see my point.

It doesn’t matter if I was an 8 year old with an epiphany from God, a girl with an overactive imagination, or I am just plain delusional. What’s real and verifiable is the fact that my reality (Saturn) morphed (Neptune) that day and in turn, my entire life has been enormously and favorably impacted by this illusory thing.

And when the information came to me, had I not believed…then nothing. There would have been no affect at all. Sort of like God throwing pearls before swine. (no pig pun intended )
