After writing (in the comments) about how at times people mistake me as something or the other and then become incensed when it’s revealed to them I am not who they think they are and reading the responses I got to thinking some more about this.

The one gal I was referencing who went absolutely insane over my lack of hatred for of strippers and whores and the men who frequent them, clearly thought based on reading my blog for a month or two (?) that I was akin to her. You know. She thought she could rely on me to be a kindred spirit and I think we were to a large extent. To a very large extent. But then we hit on this one issue and she just went ballistic.

I was dropping Vidroid at the bus stop this morning all disheveled courtesy narcotic drugs. Pulling up at the curb I mindlessly told him to have a great day only to have him laugh out loud.

“I’m so old and you still call me such stupid names,” he said.

“Stupid names? What did I call you? Did I just call you a name?”

“Sugar,” he said, rolling his eyes with an amused grin. “It’s okay, Mom. It’s not stupid. That’s not a stupid name.”

See how nice my kid is to me?

Now keep in mind Vidroid is a Sun Saturn in the 8th house kid and when he initially sat us down he said he was a therapist.  He then changed his mind (Libra) and said instead he was a cop.

In whatever case, he was the authority figure and he had one hell of a lot of power assimilated.

The Moon is in Scorpio is in easy aspect to the Sun and Saturn in Virgo which offers the opportunity to infuse your work with depth of feeling. There is a marked seriousness here though, make no mistake.

Jupiter is also exactly trine the Sun and Saturn so commit to your plans to the future and ready yourself to take the first (or the next) steps.

I can’t sign off without referencing the Venus, Mercury, Mars conjunction in Libra because it’s just so remarkable. This country (the United States) is violently polarized at the moment and that Libra is just shakin’ like a leaf unable to pick a side.

Vidroid started 3^rd grade and when he did, something inside him had shifted like a gear. Whatever gear he had been in before he was now in 5^th and he was driven to stay there. I really have never seen anything like it. It was as if he woke up one day and decided he was going to kick ass. HE decided he was going to raise his bar as high, High, HIGH as it could go and this is how he was going to live from now on.  From day one of 3^rd grade, Vidroid was a model student. (swearing below the break)

Vidroid, my son. 8th house Sun conjunct Saturn in Taurus.

On Vidroid and the severing of his friendship with the Quirky Aquarian, you need the back story.

Vid went to a school for the gifted (along with my daughter) during 1^st and 2^nd grade.  I had to pull him out the summer before 3^rd grade due my family hardship stemming from my daughter’s illness. He really did not want to leave this school. He is a Taurus and hates change but besides that he’d just gotten used to the place.

My son severed his friendship with the the quirky Aquarian this weekend and it’s been an enormous challenge for me as well as a learning experience that is unparalleled in my lifetime.  I am going to try to write about this so you can judge the situation yourself but the upshot is this:

Sometimes a child really can make the best call. In this case, the 9 year old was not only able to read the situation better than his mother, he had the courage and strength of his convictions to to take appropriation action in spite of it being painful and difficult.

Jessica asked regarding Children With Difficult Aspects In Their Chart…

“So what do you tell Vidroid about Sun-Saturn? How do you phrase it to him?”

Rather than act like what has happened has not happened, I’ve told him that he has had to grow up very fast and that I am very sorry. I told him that I thought it was very unfortunate that he has had to take care of himself and has had to live without as much support as he deserves but that he has done an extraordinarily good job of taking care of not only himself but of his sister and for that matter, he has taken care of me. He has helped me tremendously and I told him I was incredibly proud of him for this.

I’ve also told him that I don’t know why some people have lives that are harder than others or how he got stuck with one of this type but that he had done a terrific job of coping and that I was sure that his life would get easier when he grew up. I came right out and told him, I did not really see how it could be worse so it would have to get better if he could just hang in.

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.

About a week ago, Vidroid started digging a hole in the backyard alongside the soldier working on his giant sawhorses. Later the soldier told me that Vid said he was digging to the center of the earth.

“Yeah?” I said. “I had the same ambition when I was a kid.  Confidence and delusion, it runs in the family.”

He just stared and then 3 days later, Vid’s friend was over and they were digging some more. Keep in mind my grandfather dug a hole in his yard big enough to make an underground house… with a shovel! The soldier reported in:

“They made plans,’ he said. “They have a list of things they’re going to take.”
