Mars is squaring Pluto today setting off the transit to my natal Moon and one thing with Pluto Moon, you can really see people’s motives. With an 8^th house like mine I’ve got this gift/curse anyway but jeez louise the transit kicks it up big time and today is no exception.

Today the soldier got an email meant to provoke him.  The person who sent it is acting as agent of the person who is really pulling the strings and either is or pretends to be an innocent.

“Boy is she getting set up,” I said, the action completely transparent to me.  ‘Why does someone let themselves be used like that anyway? I sure wouldn’t. If you told me, hey Elsa!  Send this person an email so I can jerk their chain, I’d tell you to go to hell!  Send it yourself, I’d say!”

Quite a few people who have Mars in aspect to Pluto surfaced on the Evolutionary Astrology Perspective piece to say they had been molested. While this manifestation is certainly not a given, I would say the fact that someone with an aspect between Mars and Pluto in their chart is at increased risk is undeniable.

Now I just heard from a mother of a daughter who has Mars in aspect to Pluto in her chart and being as she can read a chart, she keeps extra close tabs on her but is that enough? I don’t think so. Because that energy is going to be expressed one way or the other. You can’t just “avoid” something in your chart… something that is part of your destiny.

Here is a picture in honor of today’s Mars in Leo trining Pluto. When asked to draw a picture of himself so the teacher would remember him, this is what my son’s friend drew. This kid is a nine-year-old boy, with a natal conjunction of Mars and Pluto in Sagittarius in the 3rd house. He regularly walks around the neighborhood (3rd house) with his bow and arrows and it was important for him to communicate this on his page in the year book. Last I heard, this kid is signed up for archery camp this summer

I have a Sagittarius Moon and Jupiter in Sagittarius too, and I loved the feeling of release when we had archery in Gym class, did you too?

Remember Pisces, satori with her fierce solar return? We are going to be watching her.

She’s got the 19 year old leukemia patient she is dealing with, she’s got a new love and she’s got the fierce Mars Pluto across the ascendant /descendant in her solar return. I have encouraged her to go to the gym… something for her rage. Not that she is a particularly angry person but fact is when you have to watch a teenager you care for fight cancer I think it’s fairly impossible not to be mad as hell at some point.

In whatever case she is going to the gym – looking for this piece of clothing to wear:

The Moon in Cancer trines the Sun in Pisces allowing people do continue to recover from such a hairy start to the weekend. The Virgo Pisces opposition is still very prominent and I have noticed lately that with Mars in Cancer, mothers and their maternal instincts are very much in evidence.

Personally, I have a very strong maternal instinct and with Pluto opposing Mars in Cancer the feelings are not very comfortable here lately. I mentioned this to my friend, Ben who works in the school system and he told me he had a run in with someone’s mother the day before and it was wicked.

Very, very bad time to piss off a mom, I’d say. Do it and expect to come face to face with what they call “coiled up serpent power”.

The Moon conjuncts Pluto and opposes Mars.

Can you say “devouring”?

Meanwhile Venus moves toward conjunction with Neptune in Aquarius and the Sun in Pisces nears Uranus and I don’t know what to make of it. Are the people deluded? Are they detached? Are they compassionate or are they cold as ice? I don’t know.

Fact is, this is the closest I can come to describing the sky right now. Jimmy Buffet in concert.. a group of people drunk in paradise with a volcano threatening and guess what? He don’t know!

Here is Mars in Gemini (chat / communication) opposite Pluto (the restroom / the unknown) in today’s conversation with the soldier who knows very little about women…

“Yeah women call each other from the restroom on dates.”

“They do?”

“Yeah. They tell their pal how it’s going. If they like the guy or what. If they are bored or if they are going to sleep with them they call about that too.”

“You’re kidding me, P?”

Dear Virgo,

With Mars conjunct Pluto in the first house and a stellium in Scorpio I am sure you give off nothing but energy… energy that attracts and repels. And there isn’t a damned thing you can do about it except for gain awareness so you operate more consciously.

Now brace yourself because this next is going to sound like criticism when it is anything but. I am trying to free you here, I swear it. And the only way I know to do that is too offer insight so here goes:

Virgo has a vested interest in being seen as innocent and virginal and if you read your post up there, you will see what I mean. You’re not flirty. You’re not cheap! Why are they bothering you? You don’t want them. You didn’t do anything. Why bother the nun? Why not leave the librarian alone? But this keeps happening so it must have something to do with you and it does. Get this loud and clear:

You exude sex.

Lots of people are writing about tomorrow’s eclipse so I will focus on Mars in Gemini currently hunting Pluto. If you’re sensitive to lower octave rumblings ahead of earthquakes then you already see and sense this coming. It’s a big fight, yanno?

No, not a big night. I said, Big FIGHT as in eruption!

(Hearing this, some dive under the bed while others kick back with their popcorn. Others sharpen their claws and people like me go into denial and stay there until the last possible moment.)

Grand trine in Earth aside, the opposition between (retrograde) Mars and Venus and Pluto looks fierce and drastic to me. Take the wrong side now and don’t be surprised to find yourself amputated Scorpio style. Refusing to take a side risks the same result.

The climate out there is slash and burn and cut and run. Loyalty is rewarded with loyalty. The heads of the disloyal go rolling down the hill.

My sister told me once if you mess with a woman, treat her poorly when she is pregnant you will not be forgiven once that baby is born. I have found this to be true over the last 15 years so just consider many out there are pregnant and act accordingly.
