I was wondering if there are any aggressive transits going on right now? Or transits that make people be really rude. I know a few planets are in retrograde right now and I'm wondering if any of them could be triggering it?

I played soccer the other night against my friend's team and his girlfriend who I haven't formally met was on it. She is friends with a lot of my ex's friends (people who I was really close with and played soccer with for a number of years). She was my defender and we were playing the pretty standard physical game without any fouls or dirty play, but then it got to the point where she shoved me on several occasions while I was walking past her, with no ball near us. I finally told her to stop shoving me to which she responded, "it's soccer and you can shove people in soccer". I had a chat with my friend, her boyfriend, after and asked him to talk to her about shoving people on the field, which she apparently flipped out about.

I think Mercury in retrograde is showing its head because she Facebook messaged me today with a long novel about how she talked to several of my former teammates (my ex's friends) and to sum it up she is saying that they told her I'm basically a terrible person, a dirty player, and a "pathological victim".

It hurts me of course that not only is she continuing this "drama" but also getting people involved who I was once close with, who I thought had been my friends, who are now saying very mean things about me. She ended it by saying she doesn't want any communication with me ever and was only writing it to me because we'd probably be playing each other in playoffs. I was going to respond to her politely and say I don't want to be on bad terms with her but now I don't know if I should.

Is this Mercury in retrograde causing this? Is Mars doing anything crazy? Mars is currently in my 5th house but I don't think it's doing much else to my chart.

I'm sorry you went through that. I wish I had astrological reassurance to offer, but all I have right now is empathy as I was considering making a post asking the same question. Everyone seems very harsh and on edge lately. I'm usually pretty confident and self-assured, but the amount of absolutely rudeness I've dealt with the past week is starting to take a toll.

Mars is currently retrograde though and about to slip into Scorpio around next week (I think) .. they say those that "start a war" in this time will come to regret it later. So I'm sure you'll be vindicated in your soccer group in due time

I would not simply believe her what she reported those people had said about you. Some people are manipulative and make up such stories to get at people they dislike or feel threatened by. I made the mistake of believing such stories once and only found out ten years later they were wrong - bad mistake.

For all we know, she could even be insecure or jealous of you (some people are weird like that and think someone's ex, or one's partners platonic friend, must be a threat) and she could have shoved you because of that, and made a lot of the stuff she wrote up to cause you trouble and drive you from the social circle. Best ignore her - if it was me I'd probably block her from social media and overlook her whenever I met her accidentally, but would not stoop down to her level. But if she'd continue to shove or physically provoke me on the field, I'd give her one more verbal warning before retaliating in kind, just a little more strongly than she'd probably expect. But I admit that's the ugly side of Scorp AC raising its head so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to you. But neither would I condemn you if you felt you had to. Some people only understand one kind of language, sadly.

*edit* I think I would maybe consider forwarding her epistle to her boyfriend, and maybe to those friends of your ex's she supposedly talked to - without any comment of my own. Some things simply speak for themselves, and depending on the content of her letter, she might have "earned" herself the honor to have her "work" appreciated by a larger audience. At the very least it might teach her to refrain from writing silly letters, but it might also escalate the conflict so think about this carefully, especially in terms of whether it would do you more harm than good.

Anyway, this lady seems to have issues and it would be best if you would not take it too much to heart.

Perhaps t-moon square t-mercury and Venus which are retrograde on top of that!

Mars and Pluto, the Scorpio planets are retrograde. Not exactly sunny and light planets!

For myself, Mars retrograde is hitting my NN/Neptune, and squaring my luminaries. I've been quite an @sshole lately, as have the people around me.

Also, Saturn is retrograde with Jupiter, squaring each other.

I would imagine anyone with mutable placements would be a bit on edge (or more than a bit) right now.

I haven't experienced it except my love interest isn't speaking to me. There was a big poop flinging fight between two other people on my Facebook last night though. LOL.

Rx Mars is sitting on my MC. Everyone I encounter is mean or rude, lately. Mercury Rx is also in my 3rd house right now.

if its true that the 5th bhatkan is making is more calm and peaceful and spiritual, out of the age of war, we are going to be experiencing love and harshality in different meanings. there is love in war perhaps because it is defending the greatest love of all, for safety and leadership of your own country (not being taken over) so there is a great love behind why because of war and nationality overcoming bad things that could potentially happen if failed

if our minds and bodies are truly changing with the seasons of the sun's ether responible for age shifting then naturally love and harshality will still exist just in different forms not comparable to war as we are all becoming beings of love but negativity will always be there balance

She shoved you when the ball is no where near you two? She is just being a bi+ch then.

And to get all these other people involved with a message? She sounds like an immature psycho.

She is making an a$$ out of herself, by trying to make a point that you are one, wich you are not.
Yeah don't play her game and stoop to her level, my sister always tells me "You can't fight crazy, it will just make that person act more crazy."

I would show her boyfriend the message. I doubt that he likes this quality in her.

I'm still having trouble getting out of bed, so I'm mostly keeping to myself. Not the Spring I was hoping for. Mars is opposed my vertex, trine my Jupiter, and sextile PLuto. Moving back to square my Mars, and oppose my Moon/Venus/SN. Yay.

Even though she said she didn't want any communication with me ever, I replied :-p
I can read people like books- (I'm Plutonian dominant) and I get the feeling she's one of those people who says one thing but means another. I knew if I didn't respond to her novel then she would be ****** and would hold that against me, even though she said she didn't want to communicate with me ever again.

I rose above her level and said I had fun playing the game, I only got angry when she shoved me which is why I asked her boyfriend to talk to her, that I like her teammates and I'm friends with many of them. I also said I have no ill will towards her, and if she wishes to feel otherwise about me, then that's solely her choice. I said life is too short to make enemies over recreation soccer games and I extended the offer to her to go out sometime for a maragarita and talk about soccer or whatever.

I am certain she will not respond and I'm okay with that. I just know I will see her around again because we will probably play each other in playoffs but also because I am friends with her boyfriend and I don't want there to be some childish hatred there if I see her. Im not the type of person to hold grudges.

Anyways, I hope all of you are staying safe (and sane) despite all these crazy transits going on! I almost didn't make it out alive.. just kidding ;-)

I think so! My closest friend at school has been acting extra moody and grumpy, and mean as a result of that ugh. Hope it doesn't last.
I personally have been feeling very lazy and somewhat moody too

Very true. She does have issues. She said in her message to me, "and FYI, since you're so adamant on involving my boyfriend, do not fret, I have already sent to him what I'm sending you".
*roll eyes*

I don't really want to go back to the old friends and talk about it to them. I don't want to drag others into this childish war she has started. I think what goes around comes around, and if this is who she truly is, she has her own demons to battle.

I'd rather be happier and go about my life than be dragged down by someone like her. Who knows if it's because of all of these retrograde transits or if she's just someone who has issues :-p

I am actually disturbed by how fast time seems to be flying. I was surprised that I woke up at a decent time, after putting it off (a little after 9am), but now it's 11am, and I haven't moved from this spot. I think I still have Neptune square Neptune, as well, but geez, that time just disappeared.

Not that this 'makes' people mean, but lately Mars has been in the lower south ranges of declination (now 21S46) parallel Saturn [20S45] and Pluto [20S53].

Yes... Mars retrograde by itself is horrible (suppressed anger that erupts like a volcano). Plus Mars rx will reenter Scorpio on May 27th staying there until August 2nd. Mars in Scorpio is not exactly a light-hearted transit either.

I haven't had any issues and Mars retro is hitting my chart ruler Jupiter conjunct Uranus and opposing chiron. I have just been working out daily at the gym for almost a month.

Your kind and measured reaction is very much to your credit, polkadotstars. Hopefully she will appreciate it. Do be careful around her though. The level of aggressiveness she's displayed against you is not normal IMO, and neither can it be just the result of some transits. I would hate for her to take advantage of your kindness in any way, so don't make yourself vulnerable to her.

Once when I found myself in somewhat comparable circumstances, an older Libra Sun guy gave me the following piece of advice:
"If you can always remain calm and composed in the face of even her most outrageous accusations, and never retaliate in kind, then everyone will see very clearly who the crazy one truly is. But if you fight back in kind, people will say that the truth must lie somewhere in the middle." That advice was gold in my situation, and it might indeed apply to yours, too.
