(from 2008) Virgo and Pisces often spar but are inexplicably linked. Does everything matter or does nothing matter? What if your life is at stake?

I know that many are opposed to edges or cut offs of all kinds. They would like to believe that anything is possible for anyone at anytime.

While in theory I agree this is true, in practice many things can be called or counted out with a high degree of accuracy. For example, in theory Ted Bundy might redeem himself but in reality there is no way in hell.

Dan writes on The 80/20 Rule.

“Halting the progression or the escalation of a situation that has volatile potential from developing may work well. But, I would think that an evaluation of what mechanism(s) starts the process to begin with is truly the way to overcome. Easier said than done, but something to think about.”

Dan, something great to think about, thank you! I am not sure if you were specifically referring to the “fight” dynamic between the soldier and I but if you are, this “may” be a case where there is no mechanism that starts the thing. I am not sure but I think it’s possible some things that just occur in nature akin to a volcano that erupts or lighting that strikes when and were it damn pleases.

The Moon in Virgo has crossed Saturn and applies in opposition to Uranus in Pisces. I cop to being fascinated by opposition in astrology and in life as witnessed by the zillion posts I’ve written on the Aries / Libra axis.

I am just as fascinated with the Virgo / Pisces axis and thought (Virgo) about abstract concepts (Pisces) on the way to the library (Virgo) where I borrowed some movies (Pisces).

One of the regular readers wrote to ask where you would look in a chart for the best opportunity to give. Her specific words were; “The best type of charity for a person to give to?”

I am not sure I understand the question but think the topic in general is grand and I have given this some thought.

I consider myself a giving person, in fact my life is pretty much about two things… service and getting laid. But as any innately giving person can tell you, it is important to come up with some kind of criteria and/or boundary around who and what you give too unless you want to be a bled dry doormat.

The day is bound to  be difficult with the Moon is in Pisces post the lunar eclipse, opposing all the planets in Virgo.  It’s just a lumpy bumpy rife and the temptation to project today is sky high but should be easy to spot.

Someone is the victim (Pisces Moon) or at least feels they are.  This leaves the other person to be the critical, exacting oppressive Saturn / Virgo figure stomping on the sensitivities of Pisces. Thing is, it doesn’t work that way because the victim has a million tricks of their own. “Hey! They were insensitive and cruel so now I’m going to be insensitive and cruel…”

If you mean to navigate this one with some degree of consciousness you will have a real challenge on your hands, and if you put forth an effort you are very liable to act (Mars) unconsciously (Pluto) so lets just hope you murky bits know what they’re doing!

Post your observations of this phenomena…

Dear Elsa,

Pisces
United States

Pisces, I’m sorry but I can’t help you in the least. As some of us say, it is a miracle I can find my own ass.

Personally I use the alarm on my cell phone multiple times a day. I set it when I am supposed to do something and then it goes off and I try to remember if the alarm is real or not real. In other words do I have something I am supposed to do at this time (like a consultation) or did I have something I was supposed to do at this time yesterday and I forgot to cancel the alarm?

And then I stand there like the brain damaged and try to decide so you see what I mean. I can’t help you but maybe someone else can…

There were a lot interesting comments regarding people giving or getting misinformation, being lied to or lied about on the Does Your Information Have Integrity piece. When I wrote that, I was thinking about Neptune and the concept of poison in the well. It’s mostly water but the water is poison!  Have you ever seen what one drop of colored paint can do to a gallon of white?  Take my case.

Had someone not tagged me as a drunk before I walked into this first meeting, it would have probably been assumed I was sober. After all, I present okay. I wouldn’t have had a beer in my hand and I don’t have a big red nose. My hands don’t shake and in short, not only do I not look as though I need a drink, I probably look as if I am on my way to or from a gym.

Dear Love,

You do not sound moody or irrational to me and while feelings are transient and do change, I don’t think they should ever be ignored.

Now unfortunately I can’t tell you precisely what is going on with you and this man but it sounds as if you are feeling some trepidation and perhaps what you’ve got here is a red flag? Perhaps as the real life meeting draws near, what is revealing is you are not as compatible with this man as you once thought. And there is no way I can tell you this for sure but I can tell you this much:

If it is a red flag, you are bound to see more of them so if this starts to happen I would absolutely pay attention because a man who goes “beyond your comfort level” is just that. He is a man who goes beyond a woman’s comfort level and when you are with a man like that, as far as I am concerned you are in danger.

I would also add if it is him who is telling you that you are “moody and irrational” I would certainly begin to rethink this if I were you.

Good luck.

Dear Elsa,

I know. Another sex topic but you can’t say I’m not consistent. Plus Scorpio moon is coming.

What common aspects in our charts would signal meeting a new lover?

All the yearly horoscopes say for Virgo’s this is the year for you to find new love etc. How do they know that? Obviously not everyone in that sign is going to fall in love. So.. it must be certain planets knocking boots with other planets and passing over your chart right?
