Double Gemini and astrologer Claire-France Perez befriends the repulsive – Me! (recorded March, 2008, updated below)

Dark Venus asks:

“Are Venus-Pluto aspects really such a ‘scary’ thing to have natally? Or are we just a misunderstood bunch?”

Good question!  I say, you’re scary to some and compelling to others.  It depends on how comfortable a person is being uncomfortable because you’re guaranteed to consistently put “the other” in their un-comfort zone (see tag).  Some people enjoy this, others no so much.

As for being misunderstood, I’d say you can only understand Venus-Pluto to a degree and then another degree and then another degree. Even if you devote your life to this, you will only scratch the surface and that alone is enough to make the average person uncomfortable.

What do the rest of you think when you think “Venus-Pluto”?

Here I go into your un-comfort zone (see tag), but this is a very common phenomena.  I’m writing about it so people who have experienced this know they have company.

What happens is a woman is just going along, dating or whatever. Let’s say the woman is in her 30′s. By then if a woman has stayed single or mostly single all her life has plenty of experience with men.  I am talking about women who go out and play and date around because I know there are some who do not.  There are virgins in their 30′s, I know because I work with them all the time.

I wrote this after a conflict erupted on this blog some months ago but this story is relevant always.

I have always been upset by one person’s critical comments of another person’s body or appearance and have confronted it since I was a teenager.

I am 18 years old in that picture, I was a bartender. I was pretty cute little victim, you think? NOT.

For the new moon in Scorpio: How comfortable are you when uncomfortable? On being attracted while simultaneously repulsed. (8th house) (from 2008)

Some years ago I was dating a lot of men. There was a huge stream of them but I was unable to connect, over and over and over and over and my friend, Ben and I were analyzing the situation.

If you’re a heterosexual woman it’s very good to talk to a gay man about men because nobody understands men better than homosexual man. This is just a fact. They know a zillion men, they are a man and they sleep with men. How are you going to top that?

The moon in Taurus is comfortable now supported by Uranus in Pisces and heading into a trine with Saturn in Libra, the sign of it’s exaltation.

Mars in Leo is still agitating the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio. Basically this is like kicking up the silt and sediment buried deep in your subconscious so how you’re faring depends on how well you fare in your un-comfort zone.

There are all different kinds of intelligence and modes of thinking. Some people are book smart, some are street smart, some trust their thinking and others overestimate their mind’s abilities. Some think optimistically, others think critically and when Mercury is in Scorpio people get their information from none-of-your-business. Mercury in Scorpio is not interested in anything superficial. It is interested in taboo.

Very strange underpinnings today. The Moon in Scorpio opposes Mercury in Taurus, don’t expect that one to budge. Start a feud now only if stupid.

The Moon (in detriment) also catches an inconjunct from retrograde Venus (also in detriment). Women are likely to be hard to please or at the very least unnerved or on edge.

The soldier is headed home and I have been informed I should make the bed less comfortable if I want him to be comfortable. Specifically, he has slept on rocks most his life… or in a bunk and he just can’t stay in a fluffy bed that long.

“I can only be in there about 7 hours,” he said.

“And if I make it less comfortable?”
