Little Kidz: Cancer Moon

The Cancer moon child is soft and quiet, at least on the inside. They are sensitive to external stimuli and it’s easy to hurt their feelings. Depending on the rest of the personality ( like the Asc ), they may show a cold outer shell or be completely outwardly emotional about these things.

Even if he’s not a quiet person, like a Leo rising, he still has a soft, sweet side on the inside. At home, he loves his mother a lot, even if he gets angry with her from time to time, and enjoys helping her. He appreciates her for everything she does.

She likes to nurture. From an early age, she may want dolls or stuffed animals to “pretend” to take care of. A “feminine” role is one she doesn’t take offense to, but this mostly depends on other factors of the chart. She may say she wants to be a “mommy” or a “nurse” or anything related to care taking when she grows up. She loves small children.

He gets his feelings hurt easily, whether he shows them or not. It’s not uncommon for a temper tantrum or a crying fit if he doesn’t get what he wants, or if someone hurts his feelings. He is quite sensitive and may get his feelings hurt from what kids at school say about him. He can get defensive if you tell him he is doing something wrong.

She may like animals, taking care of them or playing with them. She is an introvert and enjoys being with animals more than she enjoys being with people. People upset her and at least animals can’t hurt her. Or tell her they don;t like her.

He is very family oriented. He enjoys being with his family and playing with his cousins. As he grows older, not one friend is more important than family. Blood always runs thicker than water. With friends, he is loyal to the end, unless someone does something unforgivable.

She may like sweets and may be prone to overeating if not careful. Important to stress healthy eating and healthful cooking. there may be a tendency to eat when feeling emotional, or not eat at all if there is a lot of anxiety. Food issues will need to be addressed but unlikely she will be a picky eater. She may even want to help in the kitchen, but is more interested in the baking aspect than cooking aspect.

Comfort is key. He may enjoy sitting back and watching TV, or playing a familiar game than playing outside and meeting new kids. ( Although the latter is true from time to time too! ) Hanging out with family members and doing things is always a plus too! He doesn’t like being pushed out of his comfort zone and if he is, prepare for him to be overly cautious and shy.

DISCLAIMER: I switched paragraphs between girls and boys, but this could be either girl or boy. Also, this is only ways it could manifest.

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.
