Most of the soldier’s encounters take place in the gym which is pretty much the only place he goes. He has never been to a city gym and it’s a bit of a shock to him.  His first complaints centered around the pool (his mud hole, what else?)…

If you are standing (not swimming) in the pool… if you a “be-deedlin’” as he says… if you are “dick-dancing around” and “not doing a damned thing”, then chances are he is going to at least think about mowing you down. (non PC swearing below the break)

The soldier and I getting ready for the gym this morning, or rather I’d been ready for 3 hours and him? Well…

“Okay, P,” he said as he was putting on his shoes. “After this I have to go out to the truck and get my gym bag, what do you think of that?”

“I try not to think about it. You are a slow ass Taurus and we go when you’re ready if you ever get ready… just tell me when we can go, I don’t want to think about it.”

“Well good. Because no one needs a bouncy ass gazelle when they’re trying to get out of the mud hole do they? You don’t even get in the mud so what do you know?”

“Don’t know, don’t want to know, just grunt when you’re ready.”

(This is what it’s like when you have Uranus tied up with Venus. You wind up with an alien one way or the other)

I agree I am strange unless you understand astrology in which case it can be made apparent I am merely a grand example of a packed 8th house. I am someone who consciously uses the energy of others and offers energy so others can do same.  It is in this vein that I post so much about the soldier who is a rich source of energy of various types.

Now he’s got a Cardinal T-square involving Mars, Mercury, and Saturn which he puts to good use. He is phenomenally studied and disciplined and if you’ve need to focus your energy; your skills can only improve via exposure to him. (swearing below break)

The soldier and I started doing PT (physical training) around here, 3 x a week. This is in addition to our gym going and creates a wrinkle in time because we used to do this when we were kids. I glanced in the mirror one day and discovered I’d gained about 45 pounds hanging around him.

“You got me fat!” I shrieked. “You got me fat and you better get me un-fat! How come you’re skinny and I’m fat?!” I demanded.

“Well I exercise, Els.”

I dressed in locker room after showering at the gym. The seasons are changing here so I put together what I thought was a summer-ish after workout uniform but as I picked up my gym bag I realized I looked stupid. Leaving the locker room, wet-haired which is usual, I glanced at myself in the mirror as I walked by and wondered just what the hell I was thinking.

My pants were red with dots on them… silk pajama pants from probably 10 years ago and I had a comfortable (soft) loose but feminine black t-shirt which would have been fine had I not spilled bleach down the back of it – Oh yeah.

The sun is in Aries (warrior) and Jesse’s ruler Jupiter in Capricorn, sign of the climber. Today he got off his cross trainer and walked to mine.

“I am off to conquer!” he said loudly.

We both laughed.

“I am off to the mountain, yore!” he said, flinging his arm out in the other direction.

I was too dumbfounded to comment. All I know is he is from Wyoming, the soldier is in Wyoming (which means near by) and my own Mars has ambition of it’s own that has to do with sex.

What are you off to conquer today?

After suffering through and then talking through the problem in the gym that was no problem, I decided we were probably not going to have a problem because fact is the soldier is sane. I realized we’d go the gym whenever we did; eventually I would introduce him to people and that would be it. It would all work out but what about the potential of conflict in the locker room?

The soldier told me very distinctly he would confront anyone he heard talking about me and since I know they talk about me in there all the time I thought I’d better figure out how I felt about this so I talked to a pal.

“I don’t know what I am supposed to do about it,” I said. “He’s going to do whatever he wants. It’s the same as always. If he gets in a fight he gets in a fight. It’s been like this always. When we were kids, I mean. There has always been the potential he could get in a fight.”

Jesse the Sagittarian kept talking and talking and talking. He usually arrives blustery and we tell bawdy jokes for a few minutes and then settle into our workouts but not today. Today he just kept talking and talking and talking.

Of course it didn’t matter because the soldier was in the pool and I felt myself starting to get pissed. What reason does he have to storm off? I thought it was a punk thing to do and I eventually got myself so worked up about it I decided to go the pool and confront him. I mean, why not? It’s not like I could concentrate.

Well, I didn’t know what to do. I chatted with Jesse with far less enthusiasm then usual but refused to turn to face front so my ass would not be near him before I finished my routine. 8 minutes on one side means 8 minutes on the other if you have Libra and need balance.

And this holds true even if you have a jealous boyfriend behind you who may or may not have steam coming out of his ears because am I doing anything? No I’m not! Is it my fault the machines are smushed together? No! I am a victim here, can you tell? I am a victim and a diplomat and I figured this whole thing out.

I decided when the soldier showed up to tell me he was going in the pool I would introduce him the hairdresser first and Jesse second. And since Jesse is bawdy, innocent and can think on his feet, I figured I would say something like this:

“This is the soldier. I am with him so if you see any of these gym gals around here sniffing around him you let me know!”

Jesse would be sure to laugh, the soldier would probably blush, the hairdresser would just listen like hairdressers do and there. Everything diffused. But that’s not what happened. What happened was the soldier went straight to the pool without stopping by the cross trainer so what the hell? I saw him go by with his eyes averted and felt a clutch in my chest.
