Mercury opposite Saturn, orb -1° 37'
This Mercury-Saturn dissonance does not allow for simple and spontaneous relations. Your vision of the world is complex. You are sensitive to the fragileness of human relations and you are doubtful of transparent situations. You need to look for hypothetical calculations and you suspect that unclear reasons are underlying beneath dialogues and encounters. Your sociability is limited. You are a loner because you dread relationships and you trust very few people among your close friends. You ask yourself more questions than you can find answers! Therefore, you are on the look out, troubled by the unknown. Everything is subjected to your questionings. It seems difficult to find certainties and to be satisfied with commonplaces that cannot soothe your doubting mind. The forte of this aspect is that it brings about undisputable capacities for discernment. Although your lucidity may hinder your relations, it also grants a lasting protection against gullibility. By nature, you belong to the category of the sceptics!

This report gave special prominence for that aspect.

These two it considers to be among the minor aspects, but who couldn't love them?

Mercury sextile Uranus, orb -5° 18'
Your state of mind is innovative and turns the surrounding world into a constantly moving field of experiences. You ask relevant questions … and you answer them. Although you are flexible when you ought to, your principles and your beliefs are unwavering. It seems difficult to catch you off your guard. You multiply observations, relationships, contacts and you never lose face: actually, your mobility hides an unshakable determination and a deep lucidity. In a split second, you are able to catch the useful information or the enriching relationship. (That is so true. I'm always catching interesting information about people.) The original and fanciful steps you take exclude monotony. Your approach to life is amazing!

Mercury quintile Pluto, orb 0° 54'
Gullibility does not belong to the collection of your faults! You have a good
grasp of human mechanisms and you easily detect flaws, calculations and hidden motivations. Human relations are subtle, never black or white, always complex. You often speak in riddles or in negations and you prefer to use the ambiguous language of symbols rather than the simplistic clarity of words. In this way, you fuel your mystery. On the relationship plane, your strength lies in the delicate art of highlighting flaws, detecting what destabilizes the enemy or, on the contrary, identifying what is relevant to your friends. You are more interested in what is concealed than in what is openly said. More often than not, you exercise an indisputable clear-sightedness. (Amen. This is why people don't like debating me.)

I was thinking this morning about the planets this report highlighted...

Oh, while it's in my head, MVM, there was an explanation in this report that you may be interested in. When I get to work I'll find it, and paste it for you.

Ok, now back to those planets. I was thinking that Neptune + Saturn + Mercury might equal dissolution of structure with a side of thought. Seems to me that the combination is Aquarian even though Uranus is left out (maybe a toned-down Aquarian).

It is difficult to synthesize the conflicting natures of my Neptune side with my clearsighted lucidity. Where's Jane?

What is commonly known as “sign” indicates the position of the Sun in the Zodiac. The Sun highlights all the characteristics of the sign he tenants. According to astrology traditional rules, these characteristics are all the more pure and exact when the Sun is strong in the sign, or when the sign is particularly highlighted within the chart. Here, we indicate the pure characteristics of the sign but you must bear in mind that they may only shed a light on a particular aspect of your personality. Indeed, the sole sign of the Sun, or of the Ascendant, can never describe an astrological chart because it depends on the degree of strength of the said sign in your chart.

Boss is over at mo - bit of a bind - I should thank my lucky stars he's usually in another country. I think he finds me a bit baffling! He's the king of political games and schmoooooozing people, I am direct, factual, you get what you see. I can see him looking at me sometimes trying to figure out what game I'm playing - he just doesn't get it.

So - does your astro report accurately reflect you? To me (and my experience is limited here) you always emphasize your seriousness, and sometimes (deliberately?) post that way; but your report indicates an energetic and outgoing side, which is reflected in your sense of humour and your interests. Who is AG??! (don't bounce that question back on me - cos I don't know the answer!).

Maybe it's because I am a peregrine sun that I don't associate with my own sun very much, even though I would love to (I like the organized coolness of Virgo). But it seems the older I get, the less like my sun I become, which is very strange. When I was a kid I was soooooo much more a little textbook Virgo child. Quiet and shy and neat. And then somewhere in my teens this changed a lot. But then again, I am mutable. But then again (lol) not much else in my chart IS mutable. Houses, yes. Signs, no. And I have that damn T-square with Jupiter at the very, very TOP of my chart, sitting alone. All alone, conjunct my MC, another sensitive angle. I identify strongly with my rx Jupiter because I can't ignore it (it's very noisy).

The sun IS a sensitive point for me in synastry though, maybe again because it's peregrine. Contacts to my sun make me feel like I am emerging more somehow. They vitalize. I need relationships.

Hmmm... I didn't know that I emphasize my seriousness. I'm trying to figure out how that is. I definitely don't go around saying, "I'm serious," but I suppose people already know if I am or not. I'm a bit of an emotional retard. This report emphasizes my emotional nature at points, but I often feel divorced of emotions. For instance, in my improv class sometimes we're asked to rant in gibberish about something that made us mad, and I have to really think about it. Anger should be an easy one, but perhaps because I don't feel the entitlement to rant I just don't engage in it enough. I don't know.

According to this report, here's who I am:

That said, this mysterious aura definitely gives you an indefinable charm in the eyes of your close friends who are often fascinated by your unique ability to feel and to see what ordinary people can never see!

This generally does not last because Saturnians often hide deep down a golden heart that ends up revealing itself...

You are a riddle for people… and for yourself.

You feel fine when you are not in the limelight, but you intervene in the dark, with subtlety. Your intimate behaviour reveals the distance that you strive to keep
in order to protect your inner life.

(And from my unposted Sun Square Moon: )

Conversely, you completely feel that you are your true self only when you are no more under the scrutiny of the outside world.

I'm an enigma. Maybe an angel.

An inability to lose control at the drop of a hat, does not an emotional retard make. You don't strike me that way at all (albeit I don't KNOW you).

No wine, no chocolate, no bread after breakfast for over a week now - torture.....................and how much have I lost? 1/2 a freakin pound (that's less than 1/2 kg in your speak)!!!

I will not be defeated.

Your goal is very ambitious...to the point of being unhealthy. That's not my personal assessment, but that of my perpetually dieting female roommate.

I also had to entice you to participate, cos now I feel a sense of obligation.

I am sure there is some astrological reason for my approach.

But, bloody hell, I gave up my Sauvignon Blanc for half a pound?

Me too strangely. I guess it's a good thing.
