Most killers that know their victims will try to cover their faces during and after the commission of the crime..because they don't want to be seen (not in the sense that they will be recognized but in the sense that the person will see into their soul).

Does your friend dreams of hurting those he knows, loves or are they strangers? Are they people that are trying to hurt him so he retaliates?

Just basking in the (if not love, ) happy helpful vibe you two are expressing to each other lately.

Awwwwww.. *matronly aunt voice*
" Oh, my bupkins, c'mere, and gimme a hug... aaaawwwwww, I'm so proud. "
Crushes you both to an ample busom ( I wish) that smells strongly of Chloe and WhiteDiamonds, wrapping her abundant jewel dripping fingers around you both, crushing your sides extremely close to your breasts. er.. Pid's breasts. Blue's beefy bulking chest (*ahem, right, right?)

LOL..I think that BR and I are just getting through that Sag stage kind of thing. I think that when it comes to helping someone, we have to look beyond our differences. Yeah, BR and I have our issues, but deep down I think our intent is to help people as much as we can.

BR..I think your friend may also be going through what most minorities do when we realize that the world is different and we are different. We have one of two choices when we come to that crossroad. 1) we either embrace it, realize we are different and make a conscious effort to just be true to ourselves and NOT see our color / race as an issue or 2) We fall into that well of despair and blame everyone for our own inferiority complex.

Mine came about when I was in college. I opted to transfer up to Portland, OR to a sister Univ because the bio curriculum was harder and they would make me take Chemistry as a minor. My dad tried to discourage me, see he already knew the issues I would face, but I wanted the challenge. I had no idea that I would be in a vastly different environment. What made it so hard, even in a diverse place like Portland, was that I attended a private university that recruited our athletes from small towns in the Northwest.

They were not prepared for a minority female that spoke her mind and didn't play into their stereotypes. I was called a stupid Indian and told to go back to my Reservation. I was called a dirty Mexican (and other hispanic derogatory names) and told that they paid for my education. LOL.. Finally, I had enough turned on them and told them "Say what you want you inbred little fools, because while I am conducting research you will be sitting on your delapidated porch drinking busch beer and asking your toothless wife for your turkey pot pie".

Then I reported the little twirps. I was pretty much hated that year and I wanted to go back to Orange County, Cali. I asked my dad why I had to go through this..and he said 'Honey, I tried to warn you..but now you are there, either you prove them wrong and you hold your head up high..or you prove them right and run away". I stayed..for 3 years- finished with 2 degrees, even when I had to sit through a few classes where the lecture was on minorities NOT finishing high school..let alone college..LOL..everyone turned and looked at me LOL..

But one has to take it in stride. I can't change everyone, but I can make changes.

Your friend is at that crossroad right now..he has to choose whether he wants to be seen as a dumb Mexican or just a Mexican human being that is college educated and on the same path as everyone else.

He can either use that Mars Pluto conjunction to tear down walls and cause some major constructive changes or he can let it do him in... if you want to help him talk to him about his aspects and his planets. Remind him that HE IS A LEO (they love to hear that) that he is a leader and can use that Mars-Pluto energy for something wonderful..

You're a Sag..a Leo will listen..just do it gently..pull out that thorn and he will turn over, show you his belly and listen

Pid: I appreciate the story, ya know, I don't think its like that anymore in portland, theres a lot more hispanics and asians there nowadays.....did you go to lewis and clark, reed???

posted March 06, 2005 02:14 PM         

Nah, Portland is still like that..you just have to know where to look. I lived there for 5 years and worked in NW side of town and attended Concordia in the NE side of town, which was very ethnic.

Oregon itself is a very odd state- I had a lot of business clients in that state that kept bringing me back even after leaving in 1996. Eugene, Salem and PDX may be more open minded---but you still are surrounded by the hee haw's in Southern, Eastern and even Western OR. They still HATE Californian's and despise Easterners even more. American Indians are still dirt as far as they are concerned. There are still fights over fishing rights, water rights and of course the Casino's.

The state that was the most open to me and more racially tolerant..will you believe this....IDAHO..LOL...I never had even a weird look in that state and I traveled all over from eastern ID to Northern (Sandpoint, Couer d'Alene) down to Boise.

You'll find that people can be racial no matter where they are. In North Carolina I was treated like a queen, they don't have many American Indian's out there..and even though I am hispanic / white, I LOOK more AI than anything. The people out there were very nice, open and kind of gushed over me..which was cool. In New Jersey I had a couple of really nice thug Italians tell me that their people killed all mine and sent us packing..In Nebraska they looked like at me like someone pooped me out..LOL.. In Maryland I had many people ask me what I was- from all races, because I didn't look Black, White, Puerto Rican, Guatamalen..etc.. I didn't fit into the local hispanic culture, as far as looks.

This state is also kind of odd..it fought for the South during the Civil War, had it battles against Indians, but is still even about acceptance.

Texas is great- people there are very open (which you wouldn't think) actually, the real hispanic culture is more closed to me being a "coconut" than anything else. I was treated VERY well by the older white cowboys and hit on by the young white cowboys..LOL..funny, you see ALOT of mixed marriages in that state- like where I came from in So. Cal.

I am not sure where you live -so I can't really say if I have had any experiences there LOL....

Oh and here's a tip....

When one says "There aren't many people like me or there aren't very many minorities out here" They almost always mean of their own culture. Telling someone "There are a lot of asians there now" means nothing if that person is black or American Indian..etc...LOL..

My Virgo ex said that once to me when I was in Annapolis for a few months he said "Well, honey how do you like the east coast so far/"

I said "It's great, this town reminds me alot of Newport beach..but there aren't many people like me around here".

He said "Oh we have Hispanics..from El Salvador here". LMAO...

I was like NOOOOOOO..that is different...WE are different..there is a HUGE difference between Mexican, Spanish, Puerto Rican..etc... we have different foods, music..etc..

I just have always tried to get past that aspect of a person, whether it is their color, sexual orientation or religion.

I do understand though what you mean about a bit of self-loathing..I get tired of people of my own race crying and whining that we are owed..For what? We can't change the past..but we can make changes right? Do we have to be so "in your face" to everyone we meet as if everyone is a foe and not a friend?

Please don't think you are this mean person that always incites people to anger. You are just a young Archer and with time will learn tact..(I did....hee hee..well, sometimes I still dine on filet of sole..hee hee).

Okay...well, the problem is male and Leo..When Leo's feel their prize may be taken away, that wakes them from their complacency. Then they roar into action..almost all men will be protective like that...almost sleepy on one hand until their object of desire may possibly be taken away or leave...then they jump in full force.

The best way to end it with a Leo is to just say 'I'm done. You are too much for me (make it more about them) and that I don't think I will make you happy in the long run".

That appeals to their self-centered nature and allows you an out. If he keeps pushing, tell him you have thought it out and this is the only solution. Wish him luck (don't offer to stay his friend, I fear this one is a bit of a nutbar).

How dangerous is this person to you? Do you see him as a stalker? Has he really hurt anyone in the past? If it gets too hostile, let him know that you are able to get a restraining order (if he leaves any threatening voicemails, e-mails..etc.. KEEP them. You will need them should you have to get that restraining order and you may also be able to get him for harrassment).

It may also be all huff and bluff...Leo's are good at that..but then they stop before acting on it. Not like a Scorp..they won't even let you know until you feel the sharp pain in you tender areas LOL..

sorry..not funny...

Please let me know how things are going..I wouldn't want to see a hurt Archer.

Take care..

Love and Light

Yeah..bad joke LOL....I will still look at the cards for you..to see how the Leo figures into your life or what to expect regarding him / his actions.

Mr. Taurus is going through a rough time right now (I wrote about it in my latest AR thread about connections to those departed).

It is even more compounded by the fact that he is so far from home, and this is where he likes to be. It is just a storm we need to weather and I hope it just makes us stronger.

How else are things going for you? I love that Spring comes early to AZ..no wonder I missed the west so much ( I used to live in Annapolis, MD). I replanted my garden, this time with better soil and steer manure LOL...otherwise known as bullshiite..LOL... my flowers are going beautifully and with the warm weather, I could smell the jasmine from the open window while I worked on the computer.

Take care and I will talk to you soon!!!

I read the post about your dreams...when I read about the flowers, the planting of seeds, the fertility....I got a strange intuition that she wants you to have a child...or that you want to have a child, at least subconsciously. This girl may not literally be her contacting you, but an aspect of yourself trying to speak to you. I dont' know much about you personally, if you even want children or able to, but thats the message that i received from this dream...she wants, or wahtever part of you that she represents, wants a child
