Pluto Direct, Mars in Scorpio

I just read in an astrology blog that Pluto is Direct and Mars enters Scorpio today, Sept 13.

It said, "Pluto returns direct in early Capricorn on Tuesday, with Mars entering Scorpio later in the day. These two events could deliver a one-two punch. In modern astrology, Pluto rules Scorpio, and so the powerful thrust of Mars will add to Pluto??s return direct. Pluto, remember, has been at the apex of the cardinal T-square all summer, and he has been under plenty of pressure. When that kind of power is blocked and suddenly gets released, who knows what might happen?"

Can anyone tell me how this planetary movement could possibly affect relationships? Are we supposed to be scared or something?

I want to know!!!! I want to know!!!

LOL, me too. Can the resident astrology experts please chime in? Puhleese??

Okay, here's the rest of what it said but I need LAYPEOPLE TRANSLATION please... LOL

"Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio, so he??ll be in his own sign after languishing in Libra. Mars doesn't really like to play nice, and when he's forced to do so, he tends to take out his frustration in passive-aggressive ways. Enough of that! Mars in Scorpio has tremendous power, and he's not afraid to show it. Wherever you have early Scorpio in your chart is where you will feel this transit the most.

Mars and Venus are together in Scorpio now, and they??ll meet for the second time this year in early October, right before Venus goes retrograde. When they met in Libra on August 20, many people I know began demanding more give and take in their relationships. That balance may tip again as the desire nature takes over rational considerations. This could be good or bad, but I strongly caution against making compromises that shouldn't be made. In all things you do, maintain your integrity.

As the week progresses, situations that have been blocked or seemingly insurmountable over the past few weeks may move forward with a sudden start that could leave your head spinning. If you??ve been holding off on signing contracts or starting a new venture, now is your time to make a bold move!"

"As the week progresses, situations that have been blocked or seemingly insurmountable over the past few weeks may move forward with a sudden start that could leave your head spinning."

Hmmm.

Uh oh. I think I want to hide. My guy has his Mars in Scorpio and we've been having a bitch of a time lately. This doesn't sound good. I have to go look for a cave somewhere now and just resurface when this is over.

"In some ways, we are attracted to crisis, as we see crisis as transformative and emotionally exciting"

Drama?

*thinks about going into hiding for a few weeks*

I can't take anymore drama... sighhhh.

Why don't we all just pack a few things, go to a little island where there are white sands, clear blue skies and the sun is shining and pass the time there for a while? Does this sound good or what?? LOL

Me either. Drama sucks ass.

I wish it would just end already, my liver can't take it lol.

Hmmm.

If yesterday was a preview of days to come... I think I like Mars in Scorpio 😉

Well,don't know if it's mars or not but i think it is. I've been feeling very intense and obsessive these last 24 hrs or so.

Now, I'm getting paranoid. I haven't been feeling intense or obsessive at all so I'm wondering if I have some special immunity from the planets or whatever, LOL. Or maybe it's manifesting in the paranoia? And like I said above, we've been having a bitch of a time lately but made peace yesterday... and so now it IS peaceful but I'm thinking that if he's not getting intense and obsessive about me... who could he be directing all that energy to?

Crap. Not good. Not good at all. I need something to take my mind off this.

I know, I've been hoping that this whole Mars in Scorpio energy will throw some benefit in the way of my relationship too. It was too intense at first and the whole friction was not going in the direction we wanted it to go so we needed to slow down. And now that we're actually sort of at the same pace, Mars kicks in -- his Mars is in Scorpio and mine is in Aries so I'm pretty sure it will affect me as well.

Fuck it. I hate it when I get paranoid. LS wrote above that this could manifest in exploring the taboo or what and now, I'm thinking he's exploring it with someone else! Not very helpful, I know so I'm doing the avoidance dance. For the first time in a loooong time, I slept way before my bedtime. I slept at 9PM last night (haha, granny bedtime) when I usually get to bed at around 2AM - 3AM.

He was online when I slept and when I wake up, he's still there but idle. He has never done that. And of course, the wheels in my head are spinning and since we just made peace, I don't want to stir up butter again. So I'm staying away from him for now for my own good. I don't want my own Mars to rear its ugly head. That usually starts with me going on a fishing expedition and asking questions that really belie my own insecurity.

OTOH, if he was thinking about me at all, he's probably thinking that I lied about the early night and went out with someone. Ha ha. I would even like that a bit as long as he doesn't make too much drama about it and believes the real explanation but oh well, wishful thinking on my part.

At this point.. I think that the lesser evil for me is avoidance. Silence is golden.

i heard pluto wasn't a planet anymore. just a rock.

ok,this scorpio energy has been driving me nuts. at first,i liked it. intense=good in my book. i've been feeling more sexual,obseesive,veeangeful,agressive. and basically just nuttier. high on emotions,especially yesterday. had my first fight with my current lbira on friday. well,kind of our first fight,maybe our 2nd or 3rd depdning on how you define it,maybe the fight on friday wasn't even one,well,it was actually. basically things have gone from intense,passionate to emotional and crazy with some agression in bewteen.

Yeah, it's been a roller coaster ride for me and my Virgo too. BUT, knowing what it really is helps me keep my cool. Like he'd be all sweet and congenial one day and the the day after that... dang... he picks a fight with me out of nowhere! He wouldn't believe anything I said, would call me a liar blah blah blah. I even asked him if he was just looking for an excuse to get out of the relationship (held my breath there when I did) but he didn't call my bluff. I kept asking him what really was the matter but he wouldn't answer me.

Next day... he is all sweet and docile, did the things I asked him to do and was presentable and nice when he got to meet my BFF. Hmmm. I hope it's the Mars in Scorpio and he's not bipolar, lol. I do check out this personal horoscope though (based on birth time) these days just to see what I can expect. If it's bad.. I stay away, LOL.

interesting. my mars is in scorpio. i'm in a relationship with a cancer and things are almost surreal. our pieces fit. it's been intense but we're both having a great time with it. more sensuality than usual, heavy romantic undertones, and feeling more deeply connected on the soul level. which reminds me... we went to a live music show last night. i was sitting on a bar stool as he stood beside me and somehow we ended up head-to-head and nuzzling into each other. we're good about keeping pda well under obnoxious but it's like we couldn't help ourselves or we weren't conscious of it or something. strange and wonderful.

i experienced episodes of slight melancholy and irritability but the times were very specific. it only happened for one day about 3 or 4 days ago. the first episode occurred in the morning around 9 am. the second, and last, episode happened at night around 9 pm. almost 12 hours exactly! heh. i projected this weirdness onto my cancer but, after the 2nd time i told him how i was feeling, everything returned to normal. he knows how it is to get into moods i suppose. could have been hormones too but that would have been odd timing as well.

i think it's pretty cool. i feel my mars pretty strongly. everything i've read in the description is accurate for me.

Okay, today it's me, LOL. I don't know why I feel like I'm on the warpath and being overly sensitive at the same time. I'm glad though that it seems that we're taking turns being understanding and all. I can be glib and my one-liners have been known to end relationships, sheesh. I dished one such a one-liner tonight and I am so so so thankful that he did not take the bait because with the way I'm feeling now, if we had started an argument, no way in hell would I back down.

And this is a different energy I'm feeling okay? It's totally aggressive. Not even sexual aggressive. It's more like Mel Gibson on the battlefield in the Patriot wanting to scalp heads aggressive. (Wait, I think I'm mixing Braveheart with The Patriot) But, what the hey -- same thing. I could be in battle right now and I'd be fearless.

yeah,i enjoyed it at first. heated intensity and intuitiveness with each other.now things have gotten crazier and i've been questioning my feelings again with libra sun cancer moon guy but it could all very well change again,i hope. who knows. somerhing happened with my feelings on friday that felt epiphany-like that was not fun and hurt so bad. idk what to do because i don't want to to walk. I wish things could be more normal.

Hang in there. We just have to let this influence pass and then check how you feel again instead of making rash decisions now. I guess part of the influence is being over sensitive -- the other end of the spectrum of being aggressive. I have been seesawing through the feelings for him part too and it's like picking petals off a daisy -- one day I feel I love him, the next day, I'm as cold as a fish. Of course, questioning his feelings for me at the same time.

Try to ride this one out. I know you said you read that some libras might end relationships but you still decide whether that's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy or not. But however it goes, let us know!

(okay, sorry if my thoughts seem choppy... like I said... the inner me wants to scalp heads right now, LOL)

my mars is in scorpio and i don't know why but i've been excessively jealous and possessive over the past week.


i hope it is in the planets and not some underlying intuition i should be paying attention to.

I was thinking that myself... how do you know that the doubt is not just paranoia but a gut feel that one should listen to?

My virgo's mars is in scorpio and I think it manifests in him as an extreme insecurity (shhh... of course he'll never admit that haha). Jealousy not so much except that he baits me with snarky comments about stuff implying that there is something there that I'm not telling him -- I ignore that. But you know, I would appreciate seeing some of that excessive jealousy and possessiveness from him though. Yeah, I know it's strange but the guy seems to have made it his mission in life to have a tight rein on his emotions at all times that it would be good to see it.

Last night, I was totally taken aback when he said, "Nothing I say seems good enough for you. Do you know how that makes me feel?" Wow. Him + Feelings = Huh?? hahaha. I'm like... where did that come from?

I know, I know, I've been wanting for him to be a little gentler and now that he is... I don't exactly know how to deal with it, LOL. I'm a mischievous Gem and I expect the man in my life to be tolerant of my antics and ever changing mind. I know I'm going to test him and push him to the edge but... he's really not supposed to crack under pressure.

Listen to me. I don't know what I want. Sheesh. I need ADHD medication now.

Fuck this Mars in Scorpio. Virguy broke up with me!!! Why? Because he left his YM on and his brother got on it and started chatting with me. I figured -- hey, it's his bro anyway. I shouldn't be rude and ignore him. Babybro gives me his cellphone number and tells me to text him. I only text back to confirm I got it right. but all this time, I tell baby bro that I will have to check in with Virguy and tell him that he's talking to me.

When he gets back (Virguy), I get flak for giving out my number (to his bro okay— yeeesh) and for doing this behind his back. I want to kill baby bro now. So Virguy breaks up with me and tells me to just ignore his brother even if he gets in touch with me again. He said he never wants to speak to me again and he'll tell his brother too.

BUT, next day, baby bro still texts me. I don't get this or what I did that was soooo wrong. Does anyone have a clue?

Trust issues? Yeah, big time. I want to go give him a piece of my mind and tell him that but right now I'm still hurting and really don't wnat to say anything to him. Plus, I firmly believe I did nothing wrong and it pisses me off why I'm being punished for it.

Funny about your guy and the astrology bit. Yeah, horoscopes kind of make you crazy especially if you think they're accurate and have no way of comparing it with reality. Like today, I open the paper and for Virgo it says: You will talk to your favorite person today and plan a holiday.

And my logic goes -- if he's not speaking to me then I'm not his favorite person and he has a favorite person other than me whom he is planning a holiday with. Fuck that.

I wanted to shred the paper except that the other folks in the house weren't done reading it. Yeeeeeshhh.

Well, I still want to get back together with him once he cools his head. My psychic (yeah, yeah, I know but she's good. She can find stuff and all that too) says that in his frame of mind now, if I keep pestering him, it will add more negativity to the situation so it's best to just lay low, take my mind of it, and get back in touch somewhere down the road.

And like I said, i'm still hurting. If he were physically around me right now, I'd probably be giving him the cold shoulder, lol. So i know what I'd like to say to him but right now, I have no desire to speak to him at all. IDK, it's probably my shut down defense mech. I don't want to share anything with you (him) type of thing. Like, so you don't want me? You're not getting any bit of me, not even my thoughts.

I'm kind of blaming the full moon too. LOL.

oh,that's cool. maybe you can even write it down and then examine it when you're in a different,less angry frame of mind. See,i'm very impulsive,i end up saying things in the heat of the moment a lot. I wish i had a psychic. And,a therapist. lol. Too broke right now,though. Plus,it's hard to find good ones,i imagine.

Oh yeah, I had to go through a lot of bogus ones before finding good ones.

I'm gemini so I can't help but self-express, LOL. I have a journal (handwritten), blog, and I've been venting on the Gem boards too hahaha. Sometimes that's the only way that it becomes less heavy -- to tear it up into little pieces and let the wind blow it away.

I've got my mars in aries and it's taken me a loong time and a lot of frenemies to tame my tongue. I am able to catch myself more and more now though before I say something truly damaging. Most of the time, I just walk away, seething, lol. Or maybe you could run if it's really that bad and you're really angry. 😛

worst day ever! I feel like bridges are being burned with everybody. i hope it gets better and i don't lose good people. 😢

Our original plan to go hide on an island somewhere until this blows over is sounding better and better in retrospect... sighhh.
