When you have a Saturn transit, invariably Saturn figures cross your path. I had to go court yesterday with three people opposing me.

I go to court a lot and I always have.  With one recent exception, I always represent myself.  This is not to say I’m comfortable in court because I’m not. I do it because it is what makes sense to me in each instance.

In whatever case, I went to court and decided to ask the judge if I could be excused from the case. Obviously, I thought this was reasonable.

Courts are 9th house-ruled and with Mars and Mercury in the 9th, I have been going to court since I was 17 years old, even though I’ve never been in trouble.  Three months ago, I hired an attorney to represent me;  this was the first time in my life I did not represent myself.  I think it was a good move but the benefit I gleaned did not last because now I am going to court again… or rather, I am going to court some more as I never really stop.

I wonder if I am ever going to avoid going to court. Many have told me over the years, I’d make a great attorney but I am not at all interested. I do like advising people who have attorneys though, the same way I like working with people who have therapists.

While I appreciate and value the necessity of the structure these other professions provide, they do not appeal to me, personally. I think this is because I am a wild card by nature and should be played as such.

What is (retrograde) Saturn sending you back to?

This was the follow up to the Crimes Of Passion piece in 2008. I was surprised at the results of the poll (repeated below). Very few of you (7% in 2008, 9% in 2010) believe there is no such thing as a crime of passion when hard research shows otherwise. “I lost my mind and killed her?” Turns out this is something criminals tell juries and judges and lawyers but it is not what they tell Lonnie Athens.

Back with a quirky story in regards to the Neptune-on-the-midheaven hologram me, I posted about this morning…

With Mars conjunct Mercury in the 9th house, I go to court quite a bit and I always have. I initiated a lawsuit against my boss when I was 17 years old and was sued myself (for the first time) when I was 19. I represented myself back then, I always do.

I wrote this in November, 2009. Mars was in Leo that day, the day the victim (me) pulled a gun of their own.

This came to mind today because everything I said back is now being revealed as true which = my redemption. It’s a good story for Mars opposing Neptune because Neptune obscures the prowess of the victimized (many times from themselves).

I was talking to the soldier about a client, she has court next week.

“I like to talk to these women before court,” I said. “I really like to make sure they’re shored up and ready.  I ask them if they have an attorney and they usually do but that doesn’t mean anything.  Doesn’t mean they have a good one. I mean the attorney takes the case whether he (or she) knows what they are doing, anyone with any brains who has ever called around looking for one knows this.  They tell you some crap and say, hire me.  They are in sales basically and I guess they plan to learn on the job because…”

Pulling this up for my sister because she knows these people…

My parents are both Aquarians. My mother is a double Aquarius and my father is also Aquarius with four planets and his n. node in the sign. That’s a lot of Aquarius!

I wrote this in 2002. HQ wanted this in my book but after much debate, it got cut. It was a story in the middle of a story and while I used to write like this, Saturn came along and forced structure and discipline.

I have to go to court tomorrow and have been dreading it for more than month. More than 2 months actually. Matter of fact I have a friend, it’s her birthday tomorrow and I told her weeks ago I would be in court on her birthday and that it was going to be a problem. I went as far as to send her a greeting ahead of time on the chance I be too devastated to deliver on schedule.

I have court today and it always goes well, always but I always stress myself right out of my mind. It is as if I think if I am the least bit cocky or confident, the judge will burn me down even though I have yet to meet a judge who didn’t like me and I mean enormously. If I could fare 1/10 as well with the general public, well I’d be swingin’ my hair all over the place.

It’s a really good court day as far as the sky is concerned and I think it’s funny how a person can have a quirk like this. For example, I can’t get the soldier to be concerned for me or anything because I have never had a problem in court in my life yet I feel sick in advance without fail.

Is there a circumstance or a scenario that sets you off for no discernible reason? How do you explain it?

“Dumped by Scorpio You come home and your keys don’t work. When you try to break in the police come and arrest you for violation of a restraining order you didn’t know existed….”

Now this actually happened to me. Yep. I had a Scorpio file a bogus restraining order on me and furthermore show up in court with this woman (a mother figure, he had a 4th house Sun) damned near holding his hand as if he were actually scared of me or something. I was flabbergasted, there is no other word for it and boy did that judge ream him out.
