The Level Of Freedom People Enjoy Is Variable
Astrology in real life.
This continues the Abundance of Freedom / Little Awareness post.
I think some people are born “bound”, more so than others. Though we grew up together, my sister, Annalisa is more bound than I am courtesy the grand cross in her chart as compared to my chart of trines. The impediment my husband faces in clearly shown in his chart.

Saturn Opposing Uranus And The Case Of The Girl With The Ugly White Boots
Astrology in real life
I wrote several blogs over the weekend about the so-called freedom-loving progressives (Uranus) who actually try to oppress and control (Saturn) other people. You are going see a lot more of this as Saturn opposes Uranus (first exact aspect is on November 4th, 2008, election day).
Now I am going to hammer on this upcoming Saturn Uranus opposition the same way I did when Saturn opposed Neptune (Hall of Mirrors series). I feel ultra quipped because I grew up with two mega Aquarian parents (Uranus) but my double Capricorn grandfather (Saturn) lived 5 acres over and guess who went back and forth 10 times a day?
(swearing below the break)

The Soldier And His Mars Uranus Urge To Rebel
Astrology in real life
The soldier has an extreme impulse to assert his independence over the weekend. Having copious amounts of this type energy myself, I understand this…
“I just want to go to some bar, sit down, get drunk and bitch about woman at home,” he said.
I laughed. “Yeah, that’d be good. You can tell them you you get breakfast in bed every day of your life, how I cook for you three times a day and you get laid all the time,” I said.
“Well that’s right. I want to go complain about that.”
Do you ever just want to get the hell out? Where is your Jupiter? How about Uranus? I have the two in exact aspect and I have impulse to bolt on a daily basis.
Can you relate?
My Theory Around Freed Slaves And People Who Begrudge Other People Their Happiness
So to flesh out my theory… I asked myself why people would not be happy for the slaves that are freed. Because the slaves are going to be happy for sure. They will be giddy like the soldier and I. So why isn’t the collective happy for the slaves?
Is it because we need slaves? Is it because we need some people oppressed so that others can feel superior? Maybe that’s it. Maybe there are 100 reasons but as I got thinking about this I arrived at the one I liked the best and this is it:

My Uranus Transit And The Slaves, Newly Freed
Astrology in real life
“You’re like slaves who have been newly freed,” she said regarding the soldier and I. Astrologer, Claire France Perez, this is. “You’re both giddy. You’re newly freed slaves and you’re drunk with freedom. Of course you’re giddy. You would have to be giddy after all those years of oppression…’
“Yes. Yes, that right this is exactly how it is and how we feel,” I said. “Both of us feel that way. We have been profoundly oppressed, we know it, we chose it, we allowed it and we know why. It is because of our character, stronger than people could possibly imagine. It is because of love and loyalty and any number of good qualities you can think of but those days are gone. Our dues are paid – they are more than paid, they are paid in spades and we’re out now to dance in the streets.”
My Uranus transit is exact next week and I will be taking time off the blog between now and then to help the soldier move cross-country. We’re going to be in a Penske truck – two grinnin’ freaks and the happiest people you have ever seen in your life I’d say. And this is why the people wig, I think.
It’s because they have never and will never feel THIS DAMNED HAPPY and the reason is because they have never been oppressed so badly for so long. And this is Jupiter in Capricorn, people. If you have never been oppressed then I guess you don’t know how sweet freedom really is.
But we do.
Voice Of Mars: What He Has Witnessed… Three Others Chime In
Ask the collective
“We can expect the incoming to intensify,” the soldier explained. “There are going to be more shots taken.”
“Why? Why is that?”
“It’s always like this. The fighting gets more intense the closer you get and we are getting very close.”

Her Job As A New York Au Pair Starts In Two Weeks, She’s Waffling: Gemini Sun, Aquarius Moon
Dear Elsa,
I am about to get a BA from a small, liberal arts college in the Midwest. Ultimately I want to work in the social work field with children & families – as a family advocate or a case worker.
I took a position (no contract) as an au pair out in New York state. Lately I’ve been feeling unsure if this is the right choice for me. It’s for 8 months to a year. The family seems nice, but I’m concerned because they have me on sort of a curfew (midnight on weekdays). I know it seems silly, but I’m used to being a fairly independent person at college. Plus, I don’t know if this is going to keep me moving forward on my career goals. I’m supposed to leave to go there in two and a half weeks.
I’ve also applied to a graduate school program for social work, which I was planning on deferring if I got in… I’m basically all sorts of confused and I don’t know how to get any clarity on the subject.

Dear Social
With a stellium in Gemini and Jupiter conjunct your Moon in Aquarius, you really don’t want anyone making rules that impinge upon your right to flit about and roam freely. So I am not surprised you are feeling angsty. And an argument could be made that you ought to grow up and conform; however, I am not the one who is going to make it.
I do think you should grow up – but not by conforming and subverting your nature. Instead, I think you should make your nature even larger by explaining to your employer that you are committed and will do a fantastic job, but you require your time off be yours without restriction.
You might add that you are a responsible person and have no intention of coming in drunk at 4 AM to work at 6 AM… if this is true and I suspect it is. Because you do not sound irresponsible! You just sound as if you’re wigging on a short leash and if they will allow you to be leash-free, you will probably be their dream au pair.
So I would try to communicate this. It is the mature thing to do and if they insist with their rules, you just may have a deal-breaker on your hands. And even in the worst case scenario, you’d have learned something about you.
Good luck.

The Soldier and P – Part 8: Pull Any Stunts Lately?
Catch up here – Love, Respect and Do No Harm
Here comes the Mercury opposition again. Communication like ping pong.
“Well I was just glad to hear from you,” he said.
“I was glad to hear from you.”
“I was surprised you were glad to hear from me,” he said. “I didn’t think you’d want to talk to me again.”
“Well I didn’t think you’d want to talk to me, either,” I said. “You’re the one who had the reason not to. I am the one who pulled the stunt. I always am. It is always me with the drastic action.”
“I like that about you.”
“Well you would, I suppose. Or you do. Obviously you do because it never fails. I am the one who picks up the helmet. I am the one who shows up at the party I am expressly not to be at.”
“He laughed. “Yep, you do. You do pull some stunts all right.”
“Yeah, well I can’t help it. I’m just… reactive I guess. I react and that’s all there is to it.”
“It’s one of you best features, P. Miss P. You’re firey and that’s all there is to it. And I like it when you go off and do something.”
“Oh yeah. I will burn you down and that’s always fun… not! But anyway I’m not sure if I should do what I do or not. I just know I do it and it may be right. I am not sure it’s wrong, anyway. What I do may be exactly right. For example should I beat you with a helmet or let you dance with other girls and provoke me? You know. Should I let you treat me like that or not?”
“No way.”
“Well I agree. So maybe it’s just as well I try to kill you. There. Now no one is confused.”
“Well that’s the way I see it,” he said.
I just laughed. “Well you would understand. You jump out of airplanes.”
“I do. And I love it. Most natural thing in the world.”
“I know. And I’m the same in my own way. And if I feel like I’m hanging somewhere or in some way this is painful, I will definitely cut the rope and take my chances. I will free fall to the ground without hesitation, rather than hang there and wonder or wait for someone to save me. If I have the option, this is. Because sometimes you do have to hang.”
“Yep.”
“But if I’m hanging by a rope and I’ve got knife on me, well that’s it. I am going to cut that thing.”
“Gotcha, P. You’re a free bird.”
If you find yourself in painful circumstance does it force you to action or are your more likely to be disabled by it?
Where’s your Mars?
