Most of you know I don’t watch TV but lately I’ve begun to. I feel like I have to put a disclaimer up when I mention this because I haven’t watched TV for 20 years so I don’t want to misrepresent myself as someone who is aware of trends in programming.

Last night I watched an episode of “Snapped” about a woman who murdered her fiance in 1995 in what many would call a crime of passion.  I was thinking about how things have changed.  These days people plan to murder others if and when certain conditions are met.  They have an exit strategy and harming others is part of it.

Lately I’ve worked with a several people who wish to die.  These are baby-boomer era people, heading into their second Saturn return and scanning the horizon, they just don’t like what they see up ahead.

They are facing their age. Many of them are alone, the conditions of their life are difficult and not what they’d imagined in their younger years.  They are divorced, families are broken, they do not feel valued and most importantly, they do no feel things will improve over the next ten or twenty years and they simply want to call it quits.

I told gal today she would have to choose between despair and gratitude and this is something I am very familiar with.  When you combine Saturn with Pluto or Scorpio with Capricorn, it is inevitable you come in contact with darkness and  despair. Matter of fact for some who have these energies dominating their charts, it is the path of least resistance.

With Saturn and Pluto squared off in the sky right now and with Pluto due to transit Saturn-ruled Capricorn for the next decade this becomes an issue for the collective and I am definitely seeing it all around me and this is life threatening for people who are not used to dealing with these feelings.

elfxys started a thread on the boards – Suicides in U.S. Army Reach New High

“The number of suicides among active- duty U.S. Army troops this year reached 133 in October, 18 more than in the same period last year and putting the service within reach of a new annual high…” (bloomberg)

So what’s the astrology of this?”

DC Madam: A Bloody Raw Deal

The DC Madame was our client.

Le Baraquel (a pseudonym) and I agreed to help out “pro bono” but had deep worries in working with this chart, and today’s reported suicide leaves us grieved, saddened for this dainty sort of person whose privacy mattered more than her reputation and life.

While Le Baraquel consulted her by Skype from Asia, I had her as a guest for dinner and a chart reading, and found her to have a head slightly in a fantasy-land, and I guess if you are waiting for the government to release your several millions in property holdings, you would stay in dreamland too, for as long as the situation was undecided.

I clicked on Drudge and saw the DC Madam had committed suicide. I know for a fact that astrologer, Claire-France Perez knows her and thought to call her when the news broke but figured others would be doing the same thing so I waited a few hours.

But when I read she killed herself in a shed I just shook my head. A shed? A shed!!!!

I am sorry by my Italian-ness and my criminal mind thinks that is ridiculous. Upscale this and that do not kill themselves in sheds for Godsakes! I called cf.

I asked her if she thought this woman the type to kill herself – Claire-France had actually warned her of danger due the retrograde Mars (and told me the same some months ago on the phone).

As far as I am concerned the shed part of this equation is a clear communication. Claire-France is going to write about this for my blog – Stay tuned.

This is for Mercury in Scorpio and today’s Moon in Capricorn. Regarding the young man from the soldier’s church who committed suicide last week.

“I went in there and his mother is devastated. His girlfriend… they were going to get married and she is devastated. I mean, devastated. Why does someone do that, P? What is so bad you have to go and kill yourself?”

I didn’t answer. Continue reading Homosexuality and Suicide: A Cautionary Tale
