With a packed 8th house, my guess is that this is more an issue for me then it is for others, though I’m sure I have company.  Plutonian types are drawn towards taboo. Virtually all of us spend some time in the gutter but I wonder how others deal with their urges, assuming they do.

Dear Friend,

I hate to do this to Pisces but to answer your question, I will have to hit you with a dose of reality. So brace yourself, would you?

First thing to know is this man is acting on his feelings. He’s a double Cancer, attracted to an older woman (mother figure) and he’s having sex with her. Undoubtedly his Scorpio Moon is drawn to the taboo whether he is conscious of this or not.

With Venus in Scorpio (taboo) and Mars in Capricorn (limits) I wonder what people consider to be “taboo” in 2011.  For example, if you break up with a man (or a woman), is that man fair game for your friends?  Do you look for your next lover among his friends or is that off limits.?

You get the idea? What is taboo in your world, circa 2011?

A person’s chart shows itself at a very early age. If you happen to have planets in signs or house that taboo, too bad! It is not like you are going to be able to avoid this stuff just because you’re 8 years old.

If this is hard to accept it may make it easier or more accessible if you apply the same principles to a more comfortable chart. My sister’s son comes to mind. He’s Gemini with a Libra rising, a very smart and sociable kid. Consequently, growing up he was selected for anything and everything that required these skills.

This is another one of those taboo topics in regards to parenting that I am so fond of.  With Pluto in Capricorn, I get to talk about stuff like this and I won’t bother to hide my glee.

Most parents say they want their child to have a better life than they did and I think most of them mean it. How much they actually invest in this goal may vary but I think parents who want their kids to suffer beyond what they’ve endured are part of a small minority.

Some specify they want their kids to have a better opportunity then they did so they work hard and save so they can pay for their child’s college education which might have been something they either didn’t get or had to struggle to pay for. You get the idea.  And this all goes well except for when it doesn’t.

This is from early 2007. In between the AMF and getting together with the soldier, I had a couple “dates” with a man I called, “Coffee Date”. They were not really dates because when he asked me to go out with him I told him that I was fresh from a break-up and didn’t think I could manage.

You voted:

Leopards can change their spots…
Yes – Scott (52%)
No – Arie (48%)

If I were on the jury I would vote with Arie. A reprobate is a reprobate is a reprobate! And Arie knows about reprobates because he is one.

There is a discussion regarding the Caylee Anthony case on boards. I posted a link to an article, some company came out with a Caylee doll they intended to sell for $29.99. The product was pulled due the backlash but…

jo said: wow elsa that is disturbing.. that they would try to profit off of her death like that. The whole idea of the dolls is warped.

I was going to respond we have and have had Serial Killer Trading Cards for a number of years. The first set was called, Bloody Visions 1 and while there was some controversy, the cards sold inordinately well.

goddess writes on Projecting Your Rude Behavior:

“Oh God, you just hit one of my pet peeves. I absolutely LOATHE being told “what I think” by someone else at all, but particularly because they disagree with me…“

Well it becomes very crazy when this happens because the person is actually sparring with my hologram. Think someone would get in my face like that in real life? And on that front, where is their face, hmm? Who is this person who knows so much about me?

That gal specifically said I had a double standard – “You’d go crazy if the soldier went to a strip bar…”

The other night the soldier said he preferred to avoid knowing my secrets, they disturb him. I wrote about that and some others commented they also preferred not to hear other people’s secrets.

Now I can understand because there are some things I don’t want to know anything about, details around my lover’s ex-lover would be an example but a bonafide secret? Man, what could be more tasty than that?

Yeah, I love knowing secrets and I am fortunate as people tell me plenty of them. I just love knowing things I am not supposed to know – Going places I am not supposed to go, etc.
