I feel like I struck a nerve yesterday in the post I wrote… and the comment I made about women without children.
Now the confrontation I had yesterday, the opposition I had, was with a Saturn-figure: a traditional, conservative man, a father, a father-figure, a good father. With a big heart; I don’t doubt that.
But he literally shook his head at me.
(And then they wonder why I don’t want to visit? Duh.)
Don’t laugh, I said, when I was answering his questions that he kept asking. “Chas v’Shalom” he said. God forbid. He was completely sincere. He wasn’t laughing. He just didn’t get it. Didn’t get ME. And he really has no point of reference for someone like me. At all. And couldn’t imagine a context outside his own.
As I wrote yesterday: he couldn’t see my changes, my hard work. all the trials and tests and triumphs, real triumphs. He knows nothing about my life, about what’s important to me, who I am. Just that I, well, have a cat. And that I don’t have children. And I’m not married. Oy vey. May as well be dead.
And yet so much has happened. It just hasn’t involved a baby head popping out of my vagina.
Side issue, but since I’m here already 🙂 I’m gonna mention it. I think what I do as an astrologer is slide between the cracks and crevices of a chart. I get inside it. There’s no fucking way he can see that. It’s invisble. And yet THAT is my birth process, every time I look at a chart.

I think its a Jewish thing ie you can’t be a good Jewish woman if u don’t get married and have children – it used to drive me mad as a child!
yeah true – but I think many many many “traditional” cultures also have it
I agree, many many many traditional cultures DO have the “why don’t you have any babies” complex in common. I get that comment every time I go back to India. Relatives would keel over if I told them I wasn’t planning on having kids even if I was married and/or had a boyfriend.
I think this man’s reaction was fear of the unknown. You can’t begin to understand something you don’t want to. Ignorance is bliss :-S
LOL! No kids here, either. Dogs and horses, as you all know. 🙂
Because I don’t have kids, it gives me the chance to be something for the ones I know that other people can’t be.
So there.
Venus, 12th house.
you are good at being you. that’s the best.
Awwww…….I was going to make some kind of umm….diminishing comment. Can’t do it anymore.
So I will just say thank you, Aliza!
🙂
About myself. (Merc. retro – Better be clear.)
LOLOL!
I knew what ya meant, sweetie 🙂
you’re welcome 🙂
What you do is very important, you spread enlightenment and hope to many souls, he is to unevolved to understand. What can you do! Dont let him question the path you’ve chosen, cuz he like you stated could never even conceive what you know and how you help others. He’s probably acting out in anger and judgment cuz he’s actually scared or in fear of something you represent to him, he clearly feels it on a Soul level. When someone is that closed off and narrow minded. I just simply say screw him, let him live in his denial of what he believes is right or wrong! You know the truth! Hugs
awww Ruby thank you 🙂 I didn’t question myself at all actually…. I know I’m okay 🙂 but thank you so much my dear
And i believe you are right: i must represent untamed-ness to him. Freedom. Unimaginable freedom. I also want my chains though. Still looking 🙂
And it’s like cats. You know the way your cats find you? The work finds you….
And I don’t judge him. He’s a funny little man– and we are worlds apart.
Bah. Try telling people your child was unplanned because you’d never wanted any. Now that REALLY f*cks with their heads!
(But, but, but she’s such a good mother, he’s such a lovely child, what, what…?)
Yeah, there are more things on heaven and earth Horatio…..oh don’t get me started 🙂
Please 🙂 Get started 🙂 Be my guest 🙂
