As summer winds down and the weather cools up in the Mtns the weirdness has sort of stopped..sort of.

A guy I semi know walked into my local bar and asked, point blank:

"Are you a mass murderer? I'm fine with it if you are, but leave my son out of it"

Uhm, okay, any suggestions for muting that image?

HAha

Find and kill Pluto (and Uranus). I think that may be your only hope.

Isn't it weird being a Sag and discovering others see you in a non-lighthearted way? It always trips me out when people confess they were scared of me or expected me to be a severe kind of person (Pluto opposed ASC). When in doubt, just admit to being a psycho mass murderer and explain that your victims are an imaginary alien race that threatens humanity.

To a point, but it is nothing I do intentionally.

Never had to look sinister, I was literally chatting with a mutual friend and having a good time and this was dropped on me.

Was told once that my Pluto placement, really, my whole chart, is a little bit creepy.

Which sounds all fun, but out n about it causes some odd reactions. Guy who asked me that is literally 6'3 220 and to me, he must have been afraid or something to ask such a thing.

@ Padre how do you dress?

And what about your body language? Facial expressions? Words that you say? Energy that you give off?

Maybe doing something non-threatening before going out, or even just thinking of something non-threatening that makes you feel calm and happy (cute puppies, for example) could change your energy.

If you can trust your friends to be honest, maybe ask them if there's anything that you do that's off-putting.

OK, that is messed up.

Like seriously, if you think someone is a murderer:

(a) why would you be "fine with it" or even say that?!

(b) why do you have the right to demand that they leave your son out of it, and what makes you think that a murderer would listen or care? asking for the "special snowflake" treatment is probably going to make you the first victim.

(c) why would you even talk to a murderer in the first place if you think that someone is a murderer, what is wrong with you?! why not, you know, GET AWAY?

I think too, though, that with the recent shootings, this is probably on people's minds even more. So, while the problem may have existed before, it may get worse now with the high-profile violence that has occurred.

Happens to me all the time. Severity is my middle name. Must be my Cappie Merc.

Xiiro, does your Mars aspect your Sun-Nep?

My advice to the OP: SMILE. Smile as much as you can but make sure it's genuine. Also, tell jokes.

I bike commute 10-12 miles every day to lose weight and as a means of transportation, the place in the vignette is at the bottom of the mtn that I live on top of about 1 mile away.

Stop in for a couple of beers, chat with friends, go home.

This means typically in shorts and t-shirt etc, what he said was "you are this quiet guy who is reading a book or something so I just want to be the first to call it if it happens"

Really odd thing was the women who said I had a dark soul late one evening was standing about 10 feet away hearing all of this and she was dying laughing about it as this guy could not possibly know she had told me that months ago.

For my pov..I'm like..uhm what?

Well, I chat up lots of people, and some can be really crappy and very self centered.

But still, just wow.

What is it some sort of messed up Hipster thing about "I called it first" or something? Most likely imo.

I always give off that energy, when far from intending to.

Pisces sun, Scorp Rising and a heck of alot of Aquarius!

People always tell me that I am really scary until they get to know me. Men especially are intrigued but scared as heck! When I finally do find one that is not afraid he is the psycho! Just broke up with another one

But really there is little you can do to combat an inherant energy about yourself. I am a RN, a professional, lol!, I dress respectfully, often in scrubs, I wear little makeup, and I am friggin friendly! But in being friendly, then people think I am being fake, when I am not trying to be friendly I just am.

My vert best advice is IF somebody makes comments to you like that they are not worth inviting into your energy field, anyway.

blessins!

ps, Your Scorpio planets are going to give you an intensity that folks dont get, and find if off putting, at times and scary.

Like I said, they guys I do attract are often very Scorpionic themselves and usually a bit crazy.

Yep, being nice and chatting people up sometimes works in reverse, instead of putting people at ease it can make them very suspicious of ones motives.

As for romance, well, tend to draw a lot of surface attraction but not a lot of long term relationships..ie..they want sex but not a relationship.

Being a male, that is an odd feeling we are supposed to be the ones who want that sort of thing, not the other way around!..

That is brilliant! I have learned so much about myself in these moments reading this thread! Yes, last bfriend had a Mars in Scorp, which conjunct my Scorpio rising within one degree and his attraction to me was very, very sexual. He guised it in wanting a relationship, but I really think now..not.

GREAT thread!!!

It does:
Mars Leo 11
trine
Sun Sag 11/Neptune Sag 15

I also have Mercury in Cap so I feel you there, though I don't see Mercury in Cap coming off psycho, as much as it seems to come off "Aspergers-y" or "Spock-ish".
