Last night someone told me that what they said didn’t count because they said it when they were mad. I disagreed, feeling a person is responsible for what they say, regardless of your mood. Having Mars (impulsive, angry) conjunct Mercury (speech), I have learned this the hard way. Matter of fact, every single regret I have is over something I said when I was hotted up and angry that I didn’t mean.

Having suffered profoundly over what came tumbling from my mouth when I was younger I have learned to make sure I say what I mean and mean what I say. Having the conjunction in the 9th house, I better believe (9th house) what I say (Mercury) or I am going down.

I am always harping about the importance of Mercury (communication) in astrology. I am going to keep at it since no one else does and poor communication skills can do you in though you might not realize it.

I know this because it’s happened to me. I am sure it’s clear to most that my harsh speech and tendency to boast is going to off-putting to some. I have to pay the price for that but there are other styles of communication which are just as irritating. This post is about what happens when they mix.

Now that Saturn has wrapped up in Virgo I thought it might be interesting to take stock of where we are as far as communications go. For one thing, voice mail is dead.  If you want to piss someone off, leave them a voice mail. You can do it but if so it better be important because voice mail is just so tedious to use.

I learned to be more concise in all manners of communicating. When I do go on and on it’s by design. I’ve also become extremely respectful of other people’s time. I think before I impose myself on someone / anyone for anything.

I need to cheer up so this is from 2007. It is one of craziest conversations I have ever had in my life. Talk about disparate realities. I was on the phone with the soldier, this was as we were getting together. I don’t think we’d reunited in person yet but it was seeming we would.

There had been some surprising revelations around what we both believed. I told him to forget about talking to me… that he should go find some Catholic woman to talk to and I was standing in a Home Depot at the time…

“I don’t take orders from you!” he said.

“What? What orders?” I asked, curiously.

This has come up around here today but really it’s “up” in general. It’s a sign of the times, with Saturn in Virgo that people police themselves… improve their boundaries when it comes to communication.

Now the soldier and I both do this and both accuse the other of doing this and since we are so competitive we are now trying to NOT do this which means we have curbed our tendencies greatly since we both want to win so badly. The thing (not) to do is this:

You cannot add in things people did not say and make them defend against them. You cannot take the words they use and change them so that they become more inflammatory so that you can appear to come out on top in an argument.

Mercury is applying to square Pluto and things are hopping around here in some spots. In other spots there have been total black outs. For example over the weekend my blog was down for half a day and there was nothing I could do about it

Today, I some how dropped half my bookmarks and cannot figure out how to find the link that allows me to add things to the Astro News at the moment so again another black out.
