My other dog was having a lot more trouble walking, and we were both pretty sleepless. He let out a cry of frustration on Monday morning, and I'm honestly surprised that I didn't get there first. Tuesday night, he got stuck in the garden, next to the garage. I went out, and finally managed to get him to the step on the deck, where he will sit, until he feels like he can get all the way up, and in the house. He will snap if you try to help him by gently pushing his back-right hip/leg, so I have to get my feet underneath him, and as he raises himself up, I shove my feet further underneath him, and try to use my calves to get him up. I sat out there with him for a while, but really needed a shower, so I went to get one, thinking he would stay where he was. He didn't, and I found him next to the garage again. He let out a couple more cries, I rushed to get dressed, and when I got there, he leaned back for a belly rub. He just didn't want to be alone, and I can't blame him. A little while later, we both managed to get him up, and I kept my hand on his right side for support - we finally got him inside. I left my dad a note, telling him to not leave the door open, because I really needed some sleep, and so did our dog. Tonight, he has been moving a lot better, and I ended up opening the door a few hours ago, because of it - but I'm shutting it when dad goes to work, because it's supposed to be 90 degrees today, and I don't want to take a chance on him getting stuck again. Or a storm blowing open our gate.

Mercury apparently opposes my Mars tonight, so I'll probably be avoiding everyone, everywhere. I don't need any hassle. The moon is moving through my 12th house, hitting all of my cardinal. It's conjunct my Pluto, at the moment. Heading for a square to Saturn.

Thank you Aries23Degrees. Yeah, fortunately, I've only experienced the whole cop bribery thing one time when we were driving down in Mexico in the Cancun area. We had researched/read that it was particularly a problem there, especially for tourists when driving rental cars.

Sure enough, we got pulled over for no reason, while speeding was cited. He wanted us to pay a fine right then and there, but my spouse was like, we'd be happy to drive down to the station to pay it, "oh, it's closed". Then we just played dumb, no Spanish speaking Americans, etc and frustrated him until he let us go.

I can imagine how frustrating that must be to live with on a daily basis, and yes, US police are definitely better in that regard than many other nations. But then again, there are many other nations better than the US police in that and many other regards. Most of western Europe (which we've traveled around a fair amount) I would put in that category though of course they have their ASPD folks and corruption too.

I feel like when I am expressing myself, don't look at it from "the other side". Take my side. Dont tell me how I am "supposed" to be feeling and play "Devil's advocate". Your utterances are as effective in quelling my anger as someone pouring a bucket of water into an active volcanoe. Its just irritating!!

We can be reasonable and sensible afterwards.But NOT whilst its happening. Leave me to vent and get it out. I will come to my senses afterwards (Lib Mars).

Moon in Lib 0 in whole sign is conj the 7th house cusp. This actually explains why I felt like he(7th is partner) was being on the fence(Lib), cerebral and (in my view) unsympathetic.

At some point, I wanted to drop the phone because he was imposing a resistance to me expressing myself. I was boiling!!

Anywho, I suspect I will be sensitive and touchy for the coming days- until transiting Moon conj my natal Mars , then it'll conj my Pluto....EXPLOSIVES AHEAD!!!

# I just realised trans Moon was opp his Sun and conj his Moon in the 4th( whole sign and 10th house respectively. Its no wonder we were both in our feelings🤔

He has Cap Asc and I have Aries Asc.my default mode(1st house) is often impulsive and passionate (Aries). Whilst his default mode(1st) is restrained feelings and logical (Cap).

I agree somewhat, but have found it often helps to have direct experience. Like, having been through that experience down in Cancun, helped me to have a deeper/more immediate appreciation of that issue than I'd might if just reading about it. Direct self experience is powerful stuff and ime/o, perhaps the best way to convert unknowns into true knowns.

I mean yes and no, I care for sure but am a practical virgo, I invest my compassion and energy to situations I can actually help in some way, if I cannot do anything to help someone I try to keep that compassion in check bc if not I will just feel helpless and the other person will continue to feel helpless and that is not good for either of our mental health.

If I can help someone heal and if I can help empower them to build a better life for themselves were they are happier then I have helped. If I am getting sucked into the drama triangle and savior complex and just contribute to the world feeling more divided and help reinforce victim mentality I don't feel that helps anyone so I suppose we all have ideas on what is actually helpful and we all choose to make a difference in a way that feels right for us.

Tragedies will always be a part of life but if I can help you learn to heal yourself and rise from the ashes no matter what crap life throws at you that is helpful, I agree that power corrupts and people in power get away with all kinds of things, not just cops, that is more of a distraction IMO, governments hide their corruption bc they are in bed with the media, there are lies everywhere and both sides are biased but people think their side is good and not biased and the other are the bad guys, is cartoonish and that is the drama triangle, this mentality that we are good and they are bad that feeds self-righteous anger and division, in reality both sides have wisdom and is not black and white and both sides are wrapped into this toxic group think and tribal mentality and are not objective and that is the shadow side of social justice warriors, its addicting to play the rescuer role, to feel you are one of the good ones and just shame everyone that does not "think the right way." I mean its definitely a s*it show out there and its messy and complicated but people want life to be black and white, good or bad and both sides are wrong and right. I just felt pain writing the last few sentences, its sad.

I think i meant what i wrote in reference to the cop. He had invited her to a date with him and she flew many miles to be there. The least he could do(even if she was a "stranger") is make sure that she is safe & far from harms way.

After she died,the cop distanced himself and made it seem like he didn't know her at all. And didn't have any ties to her.🙆🏿‍♂️

Yes you are right! He should have been protective and attentive for sure and he was NOT!

I also think a woman going to another state or country to visit a guy puts herself in a VERY vulnerable position so don't recommend it period, if someone should visit anyone it should be the man and even then the girl needs to be careful.

My thoughts exactly. It's the guy that should be the one inconvenienced (if it happens). Maybe i am a "chauvinist"? But i am old school about this. The woman in this case should have been out of harms way and protected as far as possible.

I am so protective of my S.O when we are together(and he is a Aries Sun man). This i did even when we were going on our first outing.It annoys him at times 🤣.

But i tell him that i am aware that he can take care of himself. It's just that when we are together,i tend to feel responsible for him. I pay, i suggest places to go, i initiate stuff, i visit him. And if he comes my way, I pay.

Is it "controlling"? Perhaps.🙆🏿‍♂️. It's just how i demonstrate I care. I just want him to be easy about being in my presence.Kick back and enjoy the ride. Its all for him.

When he is by himself, i am not the helicopter boyfriend. I leave him be and don't ask questions that are intrusive or possessive. I am more chilled and care at a distance.He is his own person and can do what he feels. I just ask him to be safe. Nothing more.

Problem is that in this instance she(the woman who died) was inlove with the cop's looks.And fell for a fantasy. I see so many people(men and women) do that i.e they form a warped view of "masculinity" and become drawn to the simulations of it. And don't know the real from the fake.

A "chiselled" jaw and huge muscles is NOT an indicator of "masculinity". Nor is a selfie that screams "macho". The real person behind the pic (in this instance) turned out to be a narcissistic sociopath.

I got unevolved Pisces/Leo/Libra from his selfies. As "attractive" as he is physically to others,his actions made him all sorts of UGLY to me. I can't have any respect for people like that.🤢

It was so nice reading about how you are in relationships (e.g. protective makes a ton of sense with moon in cancer and venus in scorpio combo you have), you sound like a great boyfriend! He is lucky to have you and I am happy for you that you found a cool Aries and are in a relationship. I like you are old school in some ways

I hear you on your thoughts about Masculinity and would love to hear more, I just pictured us in a virtual world you can upload to and meet up at talking about it. There is this show Upload were your conscientiousness gets uploaded after you die to a virtual world, interesting concept.

Lol. I did get self indulgent 🤣. But i also think it was exacerbated by trans Ven squaring my Sun as well.
