BUT, we are not known for telling our sob stories or getting personal with other people, nor do we like when people try to close to our emotions.

SO, there is a point to this. The Big CEO - Taurus, who has made it his past time for the last year to use me as his whipping post, challenging me on every point and at times getting angry because he can't break me, wants to take me out to dinner with him and his wife.

Now, I find out the real motivation is that he wants to give me a chance to "open" up over the break up of my marriage to the Virgo (ancient history mind you), so that I can feel that he cares. First off, I do not let my private emotions get into my working life. Hell, no one here even knew I was having problems with the cold as ice Virgo nor do they know about my Hot as hell relationship with the Leo.

Sooooooo, astrologically what do you think I am in for?

He is a Taurus with a cappy moon, and I totally doubt that he or his Cappy wife give a crap about my emotional well being.

I can't say as I blame you! Why would you have to go into detail regarding your personal life with this guy?

Let the Taurus eat dessert so he feels nice and guilty and watch his every bite. Fill him up with dessert and drinks but too many drinks.,

I should give a bit of info on this. He and his wife are in their 80's and both work for the company. They run the company and are known for being ruthless and not fair people. I used to be close to both of them and they even went to my wedding years ago, but when he discovered he couldn't break me, then things took a downturn.

Hmmm, well it looks like it was canceled, but a rain check is in place for next week. Ahhh, better to have the dinner during a Libra or Scorpio moon than when it goes into Virgo, at least for me.

They may make this a regular habit,

How did you learn his motive is to use the topic of your divorce as a tool for 'reconciliation'? He told you this?

Probably they look at you as some 'wayward' daughter or granddaughter-figure -- oo wee, would that make ME boil! Oh well -- do you have good HR support you could go to talk to about how to handle the dinner? I'm serious-- because whether this couple is trying to be kind to you, patronizing you, or ganging up on you (and let's hope this -- that they mainly want to set things RIGHT with you ), the professional and personal lines are way too blurred. I guess it comes with the territory when employers treat you like family-- at least you know they must admire you on some level.

BTW, are they early Taurus and Cap? Maybe Lanny could comment on whether this dinner is some kind of Saturn in Cancer opportunity for you all.

Well, sorry it has taken me so long. I was busy this weekend and just now got some time to post on this list.

The CEO is a pretty okay kind of person, or else I thought he was. He is pretty much of the mind set that people under the age of 60 are just a waste of space and that most women should never be in a position of authority. (He is an old fashioned, stubborn Taurus). I know he wanted to pick my brain because he made it known to 2-3 people and the CFO that he wanted me to open up emotionally concerning my divorce.

Anyway, I now have to have to dinner with them on Thursday. I don't mind so much, but I have a hard time being friendly to people that are extremely mean to me. At one time, he tried to blame me for my managers mistakes and went so far as to try to force me to sign off on them and accept full responsibility. I, being even more stubborn, did not do it and told him that I would hate to get lawyers involved since it is a direct violation to make an employee accept responsibility for their supervisors actions, especially when that supervisor was laid off, with a golden parachute, bonus and glowing recommendation. In other words they wanted to blame someone and thought that since I was "vulnerable" I would take the fall.

LOL.....not in a million years.

You understand him, you are ready for any surprises, and you are aware that their may be an alterior motive, you'll do fine!

Although it may be a crappy dinner... good luck!

Lioneye: Wait.. they did wha? How did you respond to that!

The same thing happened to me...
It was my Scorp buddy... and his Virgo lady... He asked, of anyone in the group who do you want, she said me... and he took it upon himself to solicit the proposal onto me...

The first time I was sober and shocked and said, "You want me to what?"
The second I was a bit more vulnerable, as I had been partying in rockstar style all night... tried to get me to come to his pad with her... Freaked me out!

He had a hard time understanding that I don't think we could be friends after something like that
And in true Scorp fashion he was like, well I only wanted it for her full sexual satisfaction... some of the things he mentioned trying we straight out of a porn movie...

May I ask who won?

I'm not proud of it, but she knew her place after it happened. At least temporarily.

You have a Saggie ASC don't you?

Pidaua

1Scorp and LL,

Yeah, I will keep an eye on Mr. Taurus. Funny, it seems he is already turning on our new Pres / Division CEO the Aquarius. I knew that was only going to be a matter of time. Mr. Aqua is a pathological liar and kind of a spaz. I am not sure how we pick them. LOL...but what it is they say "Keep your friends close and your enemies Closer."

Pidaua, did you want me to come and kick that bull's toilet apparatus?

Oh, I guess it's not nice to beat up seniors. Ok, or anyone for that matter.

Yeah, my ascendant is Saggie if my birth time of 3:40pm is correct. But we don't know for sure. And the description of Sag. Asc. doesn't really nail me. Or does it? I don't know anymore.

You're breezy, outgoing and extroverted, but you often lack concentration and may be superficial unless Jupiter is well placed. You have many acquaintances but few friends. You're very talkative, direct and to the point, but you need diplomacy and tact. You're very restless and love to travel and be on the move. You love horses and the out-doors and you have an inclination towards philosophy and religion. You make a good executive, but women lack femininity and quietness. You're often tall with small shoulders and big hips. You tend to put on weight in your middle years.

Sag in the first house:

You project yourself with optimism and you appear interested and jovial, but you tend to take things for granted and think about things from your frame of reference. You're able to influence others to a system of thinking that's arranged to give you all the advantages and since your ambitions are geared to large-scale goals, so you may use this ability selfishly. You find any restriction hard to take and you often scatter your energies due to lack of concentration. You often procrastinate. You have a keen sense of humor and love to have a good time. Your strong desire to please others leads to impulsive promises which you often fail to keep, giving you a reputation for being unreliable, which you usually are unless Saturn is strong. You experience a definite spiritual change in later life.

Sagittarians are also known for having long legs and especially long thigh bones. I can attest to this because my legs are pretty damn long. I am 5'9" and my legs from heel to hip make up about 45 inches. No wonder I have a tendancy to trip over myself. LOL

I have not known many "butchy" Sag's and have known more of the ones that tend to be really foo foo regarding make up and stuff, but very competitive and sports oriented.
