Is there anyone out there planning to attend UAC who might be interested in blogging their experience and impressions for the Elsa blog?

If so, please contact.

Thank you.

I was lying on the bed last night wearing a gauzy skirt with a wide (about 5″) band of elastic across my lower stomach. The skirt is meant to be worn high, low whatever and, “See this?” I asked the soldier, patting my stomach through the elastic band.  “I have a little bit of cramps from my period.”

He smiled.

“Yeah and this band of elastic, it feels crushing.” The elastic is actually comfortably body hugging but it did seem this way at the time.  “This skirt is pushing down right on the place that is uncomfortable.  Come to think of it, I am oppressed by this skirt,” I said with a chuckle.  “Hey!  That means you have to help me.  Aren’t you Special Forces guys supposed to liberate the oppressed?”

“Well yeah,” he said.

I roared.  “Well then I guess you’ve no choice but to get this skirt off me - You swore an oath.”

He stared.

“It’s a pretty good line; I am surprised I never thought of it before. Anyone ever tell you that before?  Hey soldier! I am oppressed by my jeans, can you help me?”

“No.”

“Well my God, I am clever.”

Mars makes a dramatic entrance into Leo accompanied by the Moon. Alllll right!

It’s a freakish relief to see Mars leave Cancer, the sign of it’s detriment where has been stuck for months. On top of that, he lands in a fire sign which makes me think of something stupid, why do you suppose they say “Fight fire with fire?”  Why not, “Fight fire with water?”

Hmm.

This morning I asked the soldier, “Was I a pain yesterday? Was I? Did I cause a lot of trouble, or was I nasty or hard to be around?  Was I?  Let me put it this way,” I said before he could answer.  “Yesterday, was I a B-I-T-C-H?”  I asked with the biggest grin in 18 states.  I was in his face too. He was sitting on the couch and I was leaning over him, face in close for this quiz.

‘Well, no.  You weren’t a bitch. We had a great day yesterday. We had all kinds of fun,” he said.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. And guess what? Today I got my period so that means no PMS excuses for you.  When I get pissed off I don’t want you blaming PMS because as it turns out, I don’t have PMS, huh?  I have this pimple right here and that’s it,” I said, cheekily pointing to the pimple on my cheek. “So how about that?”

He smiled his appreciation, that’s all. Meanwhile Vidroid stood by, taking notes.

It’s been interesting watching the solider land here. People have their natures and within 24 hours I could see he was plotting his empire and his various operations and we have had a big fight about this.

At one point he wanted me to plan with him. This was his move cross country specifically and I tried to indulge him but every time I offered an opinion he had a better angle.  It did not take me long to see it would always be this way so I wound up telling him to count me out.

Like my son, some of my friends, my clients and the people who write me for advice are benefiting from my association with the soldier. I have taken to straight out asking for his opinion in certain circumstances.

I specifically consult with him when a man’s behavior is involved and the situation is not clear to me because invariably he can tell me what the man is up to in about 4 seconds and this is enormously helpful and valuable.

The soldier has his south node (past lives) in Aries (war) and claims he has had many lives as a soldier. Stories like this one make you a believer…

“Yeah the teacher, Mrs WEIN-STEIN told my mother I danced to the beat of a different drummer and I got in a lot of trouble for that. I don’t know what the hell was wrong with me, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. For example, when I was in second grade I was in a play. The play was Little Red Riding Hood,” he said in Spanish. “And I played the hunter that was supposed to run around and hunt the wolf.”

I laughed at the casting.

Tips from the goat!

I came to Germany in the first place because I was in love with Ansgar. He had come highly recommended by a picky friend who had already known him for ten years. I was 35 and knew that the next right one would be the father of my child, if I would ever be lucky enough to have that happen. Ansgar was, I thought, the guy I had longed for since the first drip of my period. Within three days after meeting, we fell madly in love kissing everywhere. When he said he wanted to have a family with me, of course I got on a plane and moved in with him six weeks later. The transiting Uranus-Neptune unit were conjunct my natal Venus-Mars unit. It was a huge 1st house pile up. Nothing could have stopped me from this fate.

The collective mood improves as the the Moon in Cancer contacts Jupiter and enjoys a trine from Uranus.

The Sun in Taurus is also trine Jupiter so all in all we’ve got quite a bit of optimism out there… always appreciated.
