I'm just getting out of my second abusive relationship in a row. Predictably, the relationship came to a crashing end almost as a sign as Saturn entered the sign it was in at the time of my birth (the beginning of my Saturn Return).

In both cases, the men had Sagittarius moons and hard aspects between Mars and Pluto (one was a square; the other a conjunction).

My question is, how can I avoid attracting abusers in the future? Why might I have had a tendency to attract men with the hard Mars/Pluto aspects? Are there any other abusive aspects I should steer clear of going forward?

Hello Aquacheeka! Nice to see you again.

Very sorry to hear that this relationship turned abusive (was he the Cap sun?) but I'm glad you are out of it.

Having a Pisces moon can set you up for it, I think? I know, for myself, I've tried to see the other person's point of view...stuck around trying to "fix" them with my empathy...when I should have just taken a hike.

Hi Faith,

Yes, sadly it was. And that's basically what happened to me. The first time he was physically abusive towards me I should have left, but he was remorseful and I was his only friend, I felt sorry for him and I forgave him. Then, he became increasingly verbally abusive and this just escalated with time. My Saturn Return started on Christmas Eve; on NYE, he put his hands on me in public and I finally found the courage to ask him to move out. Now I am back at square one wondering how and why I keep attracting men with latent anger issues.

I suspect my Mars and Pluto in the fourth house may be to blame. I did have an abusive childhood just as both of my malefics in the childhood house would suggest.

Fwiw, the Mars-Pluto square was more psychologically abusive while the Mars-Pluto conjunction was more physically so. Going forward, I will definitely steer clear of men with this aspect... I may also try and avoid men with their moon sign squaring my own.

I am always honest, as you know. I think we are attracted to abusive people when we were abused. What to do with that? I don't know. Talk is cheap. People can make all sorts of proclamations but then they seem to go back to the abuse because it calls to them, somehow. I don't know the answer and it would be pride on my part to pretend to but my heart goes out to you, AQ

Best wishes with that. I think you are off to a good start.

So sad. How do you think 4H Mars-Pluto could play out positively in the future? Domestic ambitions? (no I don't see that as an oxymoron. Look at Martha Stewart.)

I think the 4th House could play out that you help other people who are going through what you did. Where is your Chiron? What does it aspect? What does the Ruler of Virgo's House do to your Chiron. I think Chiron rules Virgo, myself. I could be wrong, of course, but it fits for me.

Perhaps later in life, but both of these exes had wonderful childhoods. My Chiron is in Gemini in the tenth house. So the ruler of Virgo is also the ruler of my Chiron.

I was told that those with North Node in 7th house with Mars also in the 7th house is either going to have a abusive partner or they themselves would be abusive

But what about Mars square?
How would that play out?
Would anyone know?

Whoa... that amount of karma is more than I can even imagine or think I could handle. My ex had the square and he really struggled with it... you could tell he was perpetually trying to hold down his rage.

Did he have North node in 7th house? Square mars?? (Mars would be in 4th house or 11th house i guess)
Which house was pluto in? and what sign?

Oh and also looking at asteroids like Dejanaira would help a lot I was told

For instance, if your Dejanaira is in hard aspect (Conjunct, Square, Opposite) to aggressive planets like Mars, Pluto, North Node and so on... it can get quiet dark...

Many astrologers seem to agree on this one
In my case, asteroid Dejanaira is pretty scary accurate.
I have vertex conjunct Dejanaira in 5th house... so all the relationships or dates I've been in, the partners always had dark past of either abusive relationship or rape

It turns out that it's my karmic debt to heal them or help them.. according to astrology

On the other hand, if your aggressive planet is in hard aspect with another person's Dejanaira... apparently you have Astrology's blessing to be the abusive one?

So how do you do that, in your particular understanding of astrology? (Which I've never heard of and the google search didn't make me think it's "standard astrology" either.)

What's interesting to me is that this implies that they are not bound by their chart because they can be helped or healed...which begs the question of how they became "sickened" in the first place. The most likely explanation to me would be simple bad chance, but then I believe karma is blind and that it is not a just universe, at least not by human standards.

It also implies that since they can be "cured" of their astrological affliction then so can you (or it begs--very hard--why they can be healed of their "karma" but you can't). Perhaps it means that someone is karmically indebted to save you? Or if you can save them then they are to teach you how to save yourself?

As for being "sickened" in the first place, I think pluto serves a significant role. But Pluto also implies transformation in to better so there is good out of this

In my case, I came to this understanding by connecting the dots of major placements and what my challenges imply. For instance ->

Dejanaira (victim) conjunct Vertex (I draw to me) = I draw victims to me. I constantly draw victims in romance (5th house)

Saturn in Capricorn 6th house (my dominant planet)
Due to discipline and order, I develop talent of hard work and learning to serve others or appreciate subordinates without criticism (I tend to criticize people who don't work hard enough or well enough. I've always had issues with co-workers lmao)

Pluto in 4th house - Emotional sex change:
Man becomes feminine and women becomes masculine with this placement
In my case, I am hella masculine looking... my bone structures are thick and all, but I tend to nurture, care and so on... I also do a lot of nagging lol
In all my relationships, roles were reversed.
I always served the feminine role. both positive and negative
Currently, I am the one who cooks in the relationship ahaha


North node in Aquarius 7th house
I must learn to develop partnerships. I must learn to be less bossy and learn to appreciate partnerships, despite how weird or insufficient(?) people seem to me.

Or as vedic astrology would say... Rahu in 7th house:
I was an ******* in my past life. I had all the goods and people to serve me, now its my turn to serve

Retrograde Jupiter in cancer 12th house
Apparently, by far the strongest placement I have. I must learn to share my spirituality with others(?)


My challenges
Moon in Aries 9th house
Impatience, jumping to conclusions

Mercury in Sagittarius
My way of communication... often unappreciated by many

So rather than jumping to conclusions and showing impatience.. I must learn to care and serve others, by paying great amount of attention to the process.

and as you have suggested.. it is my understanding that astrology sincerely respects free will of the individuals

So I guess they suggest that anyone can be healed and so on, but in my case, I came to conclusion that the fastest way for me to get to that healing is... by overcoming the challenges that my major placements imply

"Perhaps it means that someone is karmically indebted to save you? Or if you can save them then they are to teach you how to save yourself?"

Yeah I personally believe that there always is someone who is in karmically indebted to you, as well as people you are karmically indebted to.
For instance.. Dejainaira aspect North node synastry xD
As for me, it seems that its my role to be the one to serve others first :s
(but I am constantly challenged by my shortcomings)
Because I've never met people who had their dejanaira anywhere near my aggressive planets

Thanks, I believe I understand where you're coming from better.

Though cooking isn't strictly feminine...just ask the chefs that seem popular on reality TV. Heck, I've yet to meet a woman as sensitive about her cooking as some men...granted, I come from the South where people take their cooking serious (and men are more into BBQ and grills, I personally didn't get into that myself for fear of men beating their chests at me if I did ) but one Californian chef made something for the rest of us at the flop house we (including him) were staying at and he had a nuclear meltdown when I put some ketchup on the fries he made since he felt like I said his fries were less than perfect (which made me realize why he couldn't keep a job as a chef).

My father has a Mars/Pluto square.

He's also got Pluto square Venus, Jupiter in the 8th, Mars square AC.

In my own chart: Pluto in the 4th. 4th house in Scorpio.

Oh I am so sorry... there goes my mercury in Sagittarius again.. gahhh
By femininity, I meant qualities that are "known" or "referred" to as feminine.
For example... mother like qualities.
I did not mean to sound sexist or anywhere near that..

But Californian cooking stories are really interesting!!
But I guess if such male chefs were little more feminine, they wouldn't have offended others over stuff like ketchup on fries ahaha xD
