Pluto in Capricorn: Women's Rights and Contraception

So far during Pluto in Capricorn, a Democrat won office in November of 2008 which was the beginning of a new ear. Obama promised change when he was running for office four years ago. Republicans absolutely could not stand having a Dem in office so everyone went out and elected a Republican congress in 2010. Since then, there have been more talks of cutting social and education programs and even more anti-abortion legislation.

Abortion is legal. It is fine to not like it. No one likes abortion. Don't believe in it? Don't do it. Mind your own business.

A lot of people cite religion. Although I think some of these people truly are religious, I think most of these legislators are "Anti-Woman." They want to reverse women into pre-feminism days. Days when a woman was barefoot and pregnant, popped out some every other year, and sometimes would die from complications. Keeping low income women pregnant keeps them out of the work force and more dependent on the State. It keeps them from entering higher ed and from having a real job someday. I think that is the one BIGGEST thing from low income women from succeeding. Men have it easier and harder at the same time, but I am not getting into that. "It is a woman's place to be at the home and take care of the kids."

Many of these people do not care for the babies when they are born. They care about the fertilized egg more than they do a Pre-Schooler. It's not about the kids. At least for most of them. It's about controlling women. Keeping them down. Reversing them into a previous state.

Obviously you can have a baby and have a full time career, but it's exhausting to do esp if you are breastfeeding. There is nothing wrong with motherhood, but why force motherhood on a young women who may not be ready for it or does not want children t at all?

Contraception is to prevent pregnancy but other reasons too. For a girl from a low income family, this can be an asset since I believe that when a poor woman has a baby it sets her back. It makes it extremely difficult to move forward. A girl from a middle class family at least has more support and a family with a larger income to help her. Her family isn't going to be happy about the pregnancy, but it will be easier for her to transition from motherhood to school or work. Being a mom isn't easy for anyone, but if you have more money or from a family with more money, there is one less stress off your shoulder.

Some people say "I don't want to pay for them to have sex." If a poor woman is on Medicaid and she can get contraception, it's better to pay for that than pay for an entire pregnancy and a new human being when it's born. Much better for her to be on contraception and have her finish a vocational or community college setting or even better a 4-year degree. That way, she has a chance of being a tax payer like you. And she probably has a job too and pays Social Security taxes as well.

And all other women simply have their insurances pay. Insurances they pay into themselves or their parents. NOT YOU. This guy on my FB friends list thinks he has to pay for all these women to have sex. Women are going to have sex. They like sex. Just like you. Deal with it.

it is interesting that these issues are brought up again during Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto in Cancer was during the WW1 and 1920s/early 1930's era. This was another women centered era where women fought for their right ( and won ) to vote. Many other issues related to the issues now happened back then to. Issues of motherhood arose; more women left the home when their men were in combat to work and during the Depression, some women had to find jobs to help support the family. My great grandma went to work in the 1930s, but she was not married yet and it was when she first met my great grandpa. But she was still working. Some women wanted more control over their bodies back then and there were dangerous abortions being done in back alleys. This was happening until 1971.

Capricorn and Cancer are on an axis, representing the 10H and 4H respectively. The 4H is about the home, the family, ancestry roots and emotional stability. The 10H is the public sphere, politics, your career, etc. Capricorn brings these issues to light. These issues were a problem during the Cancer era as well, but more so private issues no one spoke about.

Little Kidz: Gemini Moon

“I think.”

The Gemini Moon child likes to talk. Even if they are quiet at school or in public ( say if they have a Capricorn rising, Pisces rising, or a Virgo rising to name a few ), they talk talk talk at home. At home, they feel safe when they talk and speak their mind.

He likes to talk about everything under the sun… whether it be the neighbors cat ( and how dumb it is ), the kooky old man across the street, what the President does, and/or why things are the way they are. He asks a lot of questions; sometimes annoying, sometimes not. He has the gift of the gab.

She is curious and inquisitive. It’s almost in her nature. You will find that she might not care if she hurts anyone’s feelings. She thinks her views are as objective as anyone else’s.

He has a lot of friends and he never runs out of conversation with them. He is always surrounded by a group of friends. If he’s the quiet type, he has a few friends at his side who always intellectually stimulate him.

She is very smart, but sometimes has a hard time focusing in school. There may be attention issues. She may have a hard time keeping her attention on one thing and she gets bored very very easily. One day she’s interested in learning about dinosaurs and the next day she wants to know about the human body, so you take her to an exhibit.

He is a talented writer. He may be good at fantasy stories with the Moon in Gemini, or he may be good at writing in general. His penmanship is possibly neat, or it may be cluttered and disorganized.
She needs constant stimulation in her life for it to be interesting. If there is not, then she gets bored and restless. There may be issues with anxiety. You may notice a worrying attitude with her. She can be very nervous when things do not go her way.

Sometimes he can be accused of being detached when it comes to emotions, but he prefers to intellectualize them. That does not mean you will not get an occasional temper tantrum at the store.

Astrology Questions

On Yahoo Answers I put my personal e-mail address on there for people to ask me questions regarding astrology.
But since my personal email is cluttered between spam, work stuff, professional stuff and school stuff, it gets hard to keep up with everything, and sometimes e-mails from people get buried between all the spam.
I have an email JUST for astrology questions..

If you have any suggestions for the blog, or personal questions, send it there and not to my personal e-mail address.
Cool beans.

Thanks!

Little Kidz: Taurus moon

The Taurus moon child likes comfort and stability. All children need stability to some degree ( chaos can do interesting things ), but this child needs it the most. He needs affection, but not in the same was as a Leo moon child. He needs a mom/dad that is always there for him when he needs it most. He needs affection but not too much of it. 

She likes comfort. She will want you to read her a bedtime story so her imagination can go wild. She sometimes can be materialistic. All children love the toystore, but she sometimes may place too much emphasis on material things. “Whomever has the most toys wins.” 

He likes his favorite foods. He has his comfort foods. He could be a picky eater. Or he could go in the other direction, being a complete foodie! Either way, food could be an issue to him. 

She has a stubborn streak to her. When she means “no,” she means no. It may be a hassle to try to get her to see things your way. However, when she says she will do something, she’ll do it whether it’s picking up a mess she made, or a math work sheet from school. She can be fixed and does not change her opinions about things easily, whether it be a mean teacher, a dumb friend, or a boyfriend of yours she doesn’t like. The stubbornness is her best quality, but also her worst. 

He can be possessive of his toys and food. If he has leftovers and you eat it, then it’s likely you’re going to get an evil glare. He doesn’t always like to share his toys and he is possessive of what is “his”, but this can depend on anything else in his second house. But he can learn to share. 

She likes to have fun, but within her own boundaries. She isn’t going to try new things at once, since she is a cautious child. She moves on to one new thing and then builds on as she moves forward. It is not wise to push her to do things she does not like to do. She does need to get out of her comfort zone, but at her own pace. 

He could have a lazy streak to him. While he can pick up after himself sometimes when you beg him to do it, he’d rather sit back and watch TV, or play video games. In better news, he can be a mellow child who does not get angered easily. But when he does get angry, watch out for one volcano of a temper tantrum! 

She can sometimes be motivated to do chores if she gets money. While kids do not completely understand money, they do understand that if they help out around the house, they could be “rewarded” via money or a new toy. You may see her savvy about money. She may like to save her money to get something real nice. When she gets something, she takes good care of it. She appreciates the finer things in life. 

He could be shy at first. A little withdrawn. But he’s sociable when he wants to be. He is likeable and friendly. Sometimes he doesn’t do anything out of the ordinary, but he is stable and reliable. 

Update

A month ago I wrote “Little Kidz Aries Moon.” I do still plan on continuing finishing the series, but it won’t be as involved as the last one. I say that because that post took two hours to write, and so much time. I like astrology, but I have other duties in life like school and work. My schooling is important to me. I’m studying nutrition and I like it alot. I love astrology, but nutriton is my other passion. 

The “Little Kidz” will continue going through Moon signs. They will be detailed, but they will not be a dissertation. 

But remember when you’re reading these they will pertain to people, but Moon signs are still individualized by aspects and house placements. 

So the “Little Kidz” blogs will just be on the Moon signs only. 

I’m hoping to get some other interesting blogs in, like about eating disorders, other synastry issues, and things of that nature. 

E-mail me at totefee@gmail.com if you have any ideas of what you want me to blog about. 

Also, check “Blog Archives” for all the other things i’ve written

THE QUINCUNX

The Quincunx is when two planets are 150 degrees from each other ( with an orb of 8 degrees or less. I go by 8 degrees but some people think up to 10 degrees is significant. And that is a PERSONAL choice. It's up to you! ) 

An example of a quincunx is when someone's Mars in Aries/6 degrees is quincunx the Venus in Scorpio at 8 degrees. That leaves an orb of 2-ish. Well, that's what I personally have in my chart, although those are simply rough estimates. ( But good enough ). 

My drives/desires/ambition are glossed with an Aries tone. My Mars also falls into my 1st house. I have many Aries and Mars-ish qualities in my personality. I can be very restless ( Mars square Uranus ) and anxiety prone, but these anxieties are heightened when I get impatient/frustrated/angry. I get angry easily and I show it easily, but I also calm down easier. I dont usually hold a grudge, but I am capable of it if someone fucks with me bad. But if someone does something not too bad, I'm not going to hold a grudge. 

Venus in Scorpio wants commitment, devotion, passion, and emotional depth. Mars in Aries wants to get on with it and is direct and sometimes blunt. Combine the two in the quincunx and they do NOT understand each other at all. 

I feel like I am an oddity when it comes to relationships, especially with this aspect. I do think my love nature and my desires/drive do not understand each other. I have clear motives. I never try to hide my motives completely, but I can be subtle about what I want in a weirdly direct way. If you get what I'm going.. when I first met my boyfriend, I initiated everything like a good Aries Mars would, but my motives were a relationship. Its hard to explain. 

I want deep commitment, but I like "me" time and doing "me" things. This is a characteristic of everyone, but my desires and goals are "me oriented." Does this interfere with my relational Scorpio side? 

Anyway, the quincunx whatever planets are involved can be difficult. It is much more difficult, in my opinion, than the square or opposition. The square created tension, but you;ll need to be able to deal with the conflict and move on. Squares make your life easier once you get over them. Oppositions will need to be moderated; you find moderation and you're good to go. Quincunx do not understand each other at all! Adaptations will need to be made! 

Some people have Moon-Saturn quincunx! That means the Saturn nature does not understand the Moon's nature. This can lead to loneliness and lack of emotional expression in some cases. 

In synastry, the quincunx can suck. Say someone has a Moon in Leo at 2 degrees and the other person has Venus in Capricorn at 3 degrees. The one person's Moon in Leo wants praise, love and affection and above all, attention. Leo moons like attention. They are not all attention whores, but they need love and praise. The Venus in Capricorn person is committed, yet almost standoffish and cautious when it comes to love. Sometimes they commit because they have put so much investment in the relationship. Venus in Capricorn is more practical when it comes to love and Moon in Leo may not be happy with what they're getting. Basically, the one person's emotional nature does NOT understand the other's relational/romantic/love nature. 

If you have a quincunx that doesn't mean your relationship is doomed. Just like anyone who has a bunch of squares or oppositions. Usually, there are good beneficial aspects to help out the relationship. Venus-Jupiter, Moon-Jupiter, Jupiter-Pluto, Sun-Moon, Moon-Saturn, Venus-Saturn, etc etc can be good. 

Little Kidz: Aries rising

Sorry for writing this one so late!! Been busy with school, work, and random life things.

I don’t like using he/she when I write so I will switch paragraphs using either he or she. But all of this applies to either boys or girls. 

The Aries Moon child likes adventure. She is curious about the world around her and likes to go on adventures. She likes to ride her bike around the neighborhood or dare other kids to pet the scary pit bull. She’s not afraid to pick up snakes, or taunt other kids for being afraid. 

He is a brave child. He can stand up for what he believes in. Sometimes he is the bully and can be overly aggressive towards other children, but sometimes he can be the one who stands up for the other child being bulled. He likes sports. He likes to be active. Sometimes he is impatient with other kids who are not as skilled as he is. 

She can be impulsive and talk back to her mom or dad when she is angry. She often gets angry when she does not get her way. She is an independent child who likes to do things her way and she can be quite defiant towards authority ( like her mother. ) She resents anyone who wants to mold her into something she is not. 

He can be mouthy. If there is Mars-Mercury aspects, he might say things he should not. He might be rude and tactless, and hurt siblings’ feelings. He will need to learn how to understand sensitivities and not only his emotions matter. 

She is bright and quick witted. She is the child who can tell a joke but still come off as intelligent. Sometimes she can be arrogant about how much she knows. Sometimes she may say something rude without realizing it. She makes a great friend to those who knows her well. She inspires her friends to be brave and assertive. She knows how to stand up to those who try to bully her. No one keeps her down. 

He likes to be the first; the first to try new things. He is not afraid of getting an answer wrong in class. Other kids admire his courage of being first to try new things and they laugh when he does not like it. 

Aries moon through the rising signs.. 

Aries moon, Aries rising- This may produce Moon conjunct Asc, Moon in the 1st house, or even Moon in the 12th house. Whatever the case with Moon on the Asc, emotions are important. The Aries Moon experiences emotions through his or her personality; if it’s through the 1st house, expect this child to say exactly how he or she feels directly. He/she might throw a fit or get extremely impatient. If this is in the 12H, then emotions might be more repressed and subtle but do show their head through a tantrum or a cry when repressed for so long. 

The outward personality of this child is most likely going to be very Aries-like. With an Aries Moon as well, these Arian energies are going to be very pronounced as a child. The child may have bouts of impatience and anger, but will also be a pioneer to try new things and should be able to stand up for himself or herself. They will likely be talkative and inquisitive, but sometimes do things you do not like. 

Aries Moon, Taurus rising- Having a Taurus rising does slow down the Aries Moon child a bit. He/she is likely to be less hyperactive and more laid back and mellow. Even though the child comes off as mellow in school, there still is a tendency for tantrums and impatience at home. The child is free to experience his/her Aries qualities at home, because that is where he/she feels the most comfortable expressing them. It’s also likely the Moon falls into the 12H, or towards the end of the 11H. If the Moon is falling into the 12H, the child may have a hard time expressing emotions but these fiery energies might implode like a volcano if repressed for so long. 

There even could be a streak of stubborness in the child. Combined with the Aries, he/she might know exactly what they want and be quite picky. Especially with food. Taurus rising adds creativity and a liking of things pretty; you can expect the child to want to look good at least. There probably isn’t as much of an interest in sports unless Mars is strong. 

Aries Moon, Gemini rising - Gemini rising adds a more airy quality to the kid. Think of Aries and Gemini together = Hyperactivity. The curiosity and inquisitiveness of the child is INCREASED. Expect MANY MANY questions about life and how things work and why things are the way they are. Also expect this kid to state what he or she thinks all the time. They may or may not be opinionated though, but probably so. 

This kid is probably active and likes to move. Unless other places in the chart say otherwise. You are going to want him/her to slow down, but you also might like they are so active. This kid might also not want to eat all the time, either. There is a nervous energy. They’d rather play than eat. The kid is probably talkative and outgoing; they have many playmates around the neighborhood. “Gift of the gab”. I’d imagine the child could either be a stellar student, or have problems concentrating. 

Aries Moon, Cancer rising - Expect the kid to be a little more quiet at school, even if they are loud and proud at home. Don’t be surprised if the teacher says the child is quiet and passive. But this also depends on rest of the chart too. The Cancer rising definitely lessens the blows of having an Aries Moon, but there  could be a Moon-Asc square going on in the chart. That just shows that the emotional nature and authority figures ( 10H for kids ) could be at odds. Perhaps the kid felt like he/she could not show the feelings of Aries rising without being reprimanded by some sort of authority figure. 

The child appears nice and soft. Boys come off as kind and helpful. They like to be help around the classroom and house. With the Cancer rising and Aries moon, there might be bouts of moodiness and defensiveness. If you disagree with the child, they will fight back in a very emotional, fiery way. There could be issues with authority figures, like the mom or dad when the child actually does want to exert his/her independence, or maybe the parent wanted to force independence on the child. ( When I mean independence, I don’t mean leaving the house. I’m talking about things like choosing own clothes, riding your bike wherever you want, choosing what you wear on a day to day basis, doing things without parental help etc etc ). The child is somewhat of a paradox: fiery, yet sensitive and comforting. Individualistic, yet introverted and sensitive. Defensive, yet caring and helpful. 

Aries Moon, Leo rising — Expect this to probably be a loud child. This is a child that probably likes to show off to some degree. There could be sports, theatre, modeling, art or music involvement. The child likes and craves praise. He/she likes to do a job well done. This child is quite popular and outgoing. He/she has many friends around the neighborhood. There is a charm to the child that is not missable. They like to be a “star” in whatever they choose to hobby in-whether it’s sports, modeling or putting on plays. 

Sometimes it may seem the child likes to be the center of attention. They can be dramatic when they do not get what they want; combined with a fiery nature and temper tantrums. ALL kids throw fits, but some throw fits more than others. 

Aries Moon, Virgo rising - Expect these kids to be more on the quiet side. Virgo and Aries are quincunx, which means they do not understand each other at all. It may seem like the child’s personality at school doesn’t always match what you see at home. The child may come off as neat and perfectionistic. You never have to worry about him or her not doing homework. You may or may not have to nag him/her to clean up after him/herself. 

The emotional nature is, of course, fiery, impatient, and brave. The personality is meticulous, perfectionistic and analytical. The child can be of brave quality. There will be a love of adventures, but these will be adventures where the child can learn and analyze. Learning adventures. 

Aries Moon, Libra rising - The emotional nature and personality are at odds. The outer personality is charming, sociable and fair. The Moon has its impatient tendencies and ca be blunt at times. Libra is diplomatic; Aries just says what it wants. The child does have more diplomacy than most Aries Moon kids. There is a gift of the gab, and the child is probably very popular at school.  

The assertiveness and bravery of Aries Moon combined with sociability and fairness of Libra rising can produce positive results. You can still expect the child to be impatient and less diplomatic at home, as that is where the Moon expresses itself easily. 

Aries Moon, Scorpio rising - You might think the child knows everything about you or sees right through you. He or she is more quiet than what the Moon sign would suggest, but they can come off as intuitive and somewhat of loners. You might be surprised of what this child says; of what they think. Scorpio and Aries produces an interesting combination; but sometimes anger might be kept inside and then it explodes inappropriately esp when at school. 

The child is probably not manipulative. At home, the child is usually direct with what they think and usually wants to be left alone to do their own thing. 

Aries Moon, Sagittarius rising - This kid could say some mean, blunt things, but not really mean to hurt anyone’s feelings. You might hear things like “They are fat” or “I don’t wanna be friends with her. I don’t like her” right in front of said children. You will need to tell this child to sometimes keep thoughts to himself or herself because saying certain things are inappropriate. 

The child is probably active and talkative. Could be into sports. Sometimes may have hyperactive tendencies. Usually curious, asks quite a bit of questions, and sometimes throws bad temper tantrums. 

Aries Moon, Capricorn rising - This child has a more serious nature especially when at school.He or she is probably quiet and studious. This is a child you do not necessarily worry about getting into trouble at school. With Capricorn rising, sometimes people think the kid is older than what they really are. 

It’s easy for the child to start new things. They are not procrastinators. They respond well to structure and routine. It is likely they could be into sports, especially organized ones. If they aren’t into sports, they usually don’t question your authority until they get older and can think for themselves. There is still that anger and tantrums associated with Aries, but it is more controlled. 

Aries Moon, Aquarius rising - These kids are the true pioneers. They like to go on all sorts of adventures. Sometimes you have to tell them “no” on their adventures but only out of their own safety. They are often “too nice” to strangers and you sometimes have to tell them that some people are bad! There could be a rebellious streak in the kids; combined with both Aries and Aquarius as main forms of personality. There could be angry outbursts when they are not allowed to do as they choose. Aquarius is very freedom loving. 

You probably have to nag him or her to clean their room or do boring chores that they seem to think they are too smart or too high up to do. This kid would rather be doing their own thing than having you tell them what to do. If you tell him or her they can’t do something it just means they will want to do it more and shock you. 

Aries Moon, Pisces rising - These kids come off as gentle and kind at first, but do not be fooled. While they may be quiet at school, at home they may be loud, impatient and assertive. There may also be a creative bent- these kids may like to draw or make music. With the Aries influence, they’re more likely to start instead of dreaming it all up. 

They’re freedom loving and adventurous, but also are kind to other kids and do not like confrontation all the time… unless it’s needed. However, if you are the parent, they may say exactly what they want to YOU because they feel the most comfortable towards you.
