Sorry for taking the thread off topic for no reason.
Looks like you made better choices before learning astrology :lala
Astrology gives one the justification to change their minds-conveniently. :idea:

I have Mars in Capricorn in the 9th house, trine the Asc, ruling my 7th and 12th house. I met my immigrant husband at University (where we both studied engineering as military reserve officers). We later served in the aiforce together.
Mars ( 24:56 Capricorn) is at the Antiscion of the well known "degree of flight" (5 deg Sag) so maybe that's why we are aerospace engineers. :lala

I don't have a problem controlling my temper. Actually I'm rather sluggish and avoid confrontations and can't stand any form of violence. Mars and the rest of my planets are disposited by a combust Saturn in the 9th, which is , by far, the strongest planet in my chart (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn in Aquarius, all surrounding the Mc, with Moon in Libra in trine aspect to them). Venus, the asc ruler, is Cazimi.

Mars in Capricorn is a lonely planet in my chart and doesn't have much to say to the rest of the gang. Maybe that's also why I prefer Astrology to engineering.

It might be that my exalted Mars, ruling 7th and 12th, is the reason why I felt I had some senior, prominent sexist men as powerful enemies, during my rather short careers in the army and the academy. :-cry

Unlike Steven, I didn't travel abroad before I had all my 4 kids, and my trips overseas were few and short in duration.

Hmm. I've not married, but I do practice fidelity when in a relationship - of which there have been quite a few. Serial monogamy, some call it.

Interesting you say this as I looked at my notes and for Mars in Cap I had ''could be scared to be in bed with a complete stranger''.

I'd have thought if a women had this they would find qualities such as earthiness, ambition, strength of will and determination attractive.

I'm interested as to why Steven does not consider his interest in Kung Fu/Self-Defence as not being a tight fit for Mars in the 8th (where we are most vulnerable)?

I just want to thank everyone who has added new posts. I'm fully distracted this weekend with house repairs that must be done for Christmas, but its been a treat to read the new contributions. I have a few thoughts and questions I would like to add after the w/end when I have more time.

Thanks again!

Yikes! Wouldn't anyone? :shock:
You might be surprised if you had gone to bed with someone else and then found out that at some point they had been replaced.

The quote means someone - you do not know very well.

Personally my concerns would be more to do with what mood I was in, what they looked like, were they taking up to much of the bed and had they paid.

But then my Mars isn't in Capricorn.

Yes the proclivities of humans are various particularly in regard to who we're comfortable having in bed with us, but I'm imagining you have something in Capricorn if your last concern is any indicator. Or Taurus.

Only Jupiter in Taurus. Pleasuring somone in bed, as it were, well is highly skilled work. If we factor in training, time, effort, preparation and so on why shouldn't they pay if you would not otherwise bother, and they are prepared to. Just like any other Job.

A Person with Mars in Capricorn with this rational perspective may well seek to over charge or during the process be wondering if the activity is going to increase their status, etc.

I'm a Socialist so would try and do a 'means test' at the outset, so don't fit this delineation at all as far as I can see.

Sliding scale socialst sex worker? No judgments on my part. Whatever gets you and your companion through the night ... different strokes for diferent folks for sure.

My experience with Capricorns is that they tend if anything to under charge for their services.

Taurus on the other hand is unlikely to undercharge for anything. Which is not to say they can't be generous but they will not be "had", and they know the value of what they do and they want that value recognized.

So Jupiter in Taurus .. it fits.

27
It may be Taurus is more interested in money than Capricorn, but as Capricorn wants to be the boss and boss's tend to get paid more it would follow that they wouldn't undercharge unless it meant in so doing they could remain the boss.

I rarely think about Jupiter as, for me, it is not a personal planet so can't comment that much on what it represents as regards my own values, or activities.

'Different strokes for different folks' :P
