The sky is harsh out there, it can’t be denied. We all see the situation in Japan and are reminded just how fragile life is. Jupiter opposing Saturn caused many to begin to restructure and/or reform their beliefs.

I’ve been talking about “cracks in the foundation” for a couple of years now, it’s a phenomena associated with Pluto in Capricorn. I want to broach something that relates to that but it is more complex and involved. I am driven to this because this theme keeps cropping up in my life and even more so in the lives of the people around me be them family, friends or clients. That is the veil is lifting and people are realizing the problems they have are not going to be easy to resolve.

The Pisces and the Scorpio Collide

Brinnnnnnng! Brinnnnnnnnnng!

The Pisces picked up. He knew I’d been dating the Scorpio. Since he was doing whatever he was doing and he wasn’t doing me, I’d moved along. He had his process which was nebulous but he still called me a couple or three times a week. We talked astrology by now so I told him about this guy’s fancy dick, Pluto and my blown pipes.

Well, well, well. I finally saw his Scorpio Moon peep out. He said the guy would call me again for sure and he felt I needed to lose him. He thought he was bad news. (I smell a cock-block)

I wrote this in 2002. I am about 28 in this story which includes my big mouth and various other character traits or flaws depending on your perspective. Enjoy!

The Pisces

Pisces is a Neptune ruled sign associated with confusion and escapism, often through drug abuse, fantasy, and lapses of judgment, among other things. When a non-Pisces has a Neptune transit, they become Pisces-like and here’s a story. (swearing below the break)

We got into this stuff in the comments on Elsa’s Poker Face Revealed To Elsa so I’m back on the topic. Also, with Mercury in Scorpio conjunct my Midheaven (and natal Neptune) I can’t imagine there will ever be a better time to try to ‘splain this…

I was talking to my sister, I was about 30 years old. She’s a Pisces with Moon Jupiter conjunct in Sagittarius…

“Well they think that because you’re Italian,” she said.

‘What? No they don’t. They don’t know I’m Italian.”

“Yes they do.” Continue reading Voice of Neptune on the Midheaven, In Aspect To Venus: Italian, Huh? Well I’ll Be…

Dear Married,

With your Moon in Capricorn and chart ruler Venus in hard aspect to Saturn, you have the chart of an ultra-responsible person and if you do anything at all, you are going to have to work within these limits. You will have to abide your own nature. But that does not mean you are stuck forever and ever.

In fact you have a Neptune transit to your Venus Saturn square and you just might find a loophole, or a “get out of jail free” card. And I don’t want to give you false hope but the fact is, there is potential here for you to be released.

There is also potential for you to be fantasizing about this other man to escape the drudgery of the reality of your relationship, and if you use the energy in this way I think it would be a mistake. It’s very easy to dream this other man into anything you want him to be because he’s not around and in fact, you have never had to deal with him really. You have not had to really live with him, get to know him, deal with his farts, his children if he has them, the fact he doesn’t have children if he doesn’t and other such realities. So here’s a better tack:

What if the universe sent this man to “cross your path” so you could see the potential of how relationships could be? Because it almost seems you got this message. Because what did you do? You went home and tried to improve your marriage. But what if you try and try and try and try and this is as good as it gets? Or what if you are the only one trying?

I don’t know the answer as far as what is going on with you and your husband right now, but I am pretty sure the universe is benevolent. And if you respect it as you surely seem to be doing, eventually it will pay dividends. So here’s the deal. It’s a hard deal and I am sorry about that – but when you’re in forties, most of us have a pretty good idea what our lives are like so I doubt you’ll be surprised.

If you are ever going to be with this other man or with any other man, you are going to have dot every i and cross every t. You are going to have to exhaust yourself “doing the right thing” until there is some grace… which will come. So here’s my advice:

Try not to focus on the specific man who after 3 years may be nothing more than a hologram. Instead, keep things on the love front as diffuse as possible. Because with all this Saturn action in your chart, I doubt you will be able to manifest a “fantasy”; but I do think you can manage to get what you deserve and you can work to make sure that what you deserve is very, very good.

And one more thing: This is not going to be completely resolved for about five years or so. Put that in your head, but do not despair. There will be all kinds of magic between now and then. The universe is working for you. You’ve just got to believe this.

Good luck.

Dear Reunited,

I am not sure what it means either, but I admit to being a romantic and I am sure if I were you, I would be thinking and feeling similar things.

That said, I don’t think you should do anymore. Because this woman has a man. And if it is indeed “fate” and the two of you are destined to be together, then this is what will happen. And it will happen in it’s own way and in it’s own time.

Outside of that, it may help to know that you are having a Neptune transit, along with everyone else with planets in the mid – late degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). You should not expect resolution before July, 2007. And I am sure you are probably pining and fantasizing. But there is nothing you can do other than to keep the faith that what is meant to be, will ultimately be.

It’s like a bottle tossed into the tide. You can’t control it. You can hope and you can wish, but that bottle is going to wash up when and where it’s going to wash up and all you can really do is thank your lucky stars to be involved in this life and this love and these tides.

Good luck.

Dear Falling,

It sounds as if a stern lecture and some kind of kick in the ass would be inside your comfort zone. And if you were having a Saturn transit, this is exactly what I would offer you, but this is not the case. Instead you’re having a Neptune transit which invariably brings confusion and an inability to focus.

Imagine being tossed in the middle of ocean and it’s just as you describe. You mean to get to the beach, to solid ground… but you just can’t go against these enormous forces. How deep is the ocean, anyway? And you’re just this little girl out there… watching other people on the beach walk a straight line, while you remain disabled.

So the first thing to know is this is not permanent. Things will begin to clarify early next year. And one of the things about being nineteen is you generally just don’t have enough years on the planet to put these things in perspective.

By that I mean, at nineteen there is an idea that life ought to go in a straight line, when this is simply not the case. People are waylaid all the time. They are sidetracked. They are tossed from the game, and have to sit out a round or two, for various reasons. They get ill. They get drunk. Their husbands leave their “perfect” marriage. They slip on the sidewalk and crack their head! You get the idea. And this is where you’re at. You were walking a straight line on the beach and the tide came.

And now you’re in a period where you are doing self-destructive things. You’re flailing. And the way to stop flailing is to stop flailing. And I know this sounds strange, but I think in the end, you will find that I am quite right about this.

You have to quit thrashing around. Instead look for a gentle solution. Instead of fighting all this water, lie back and let it carry you. You need to let the tide do the work. Let the universe do the work. Your work is to submit. And I realize this may be a terrifying but it’s really one of the best things this world has. Magic, that is. Coincidence, synchronicity, etc. Because it’s while you’re out there in the water, off your beaten path that you are most likely to collide with the someone or something that changes your life forever.

So just try to muster up some faith, because down the road, I imagine you will see clearly how this transit in your life enhanced you. Saved you, even. Take care and good luck.
