With the impending Mars Uranus conjunction, I was thinking about being surprised. The last time I was surprised was when, Ben, had a stroke. We've talked about death many times, but this is something that never crossed my mind.
Pluto ingress into Aquarius.
When was the last time you were completely surprised? Do you know the associated transit?
- Hello, e
Ok, this ended up being way longer than I wanted it to be but, Gemini. And also drama.
When I was couch surfing a while back, an ex-girlfriend of one of the buddies whose couch I slept on, still lived in my friend's apartment with him. She was crazier than a shithouse rat, probably doing hard drugs, she believed I was fucking my much older friend (even though he had another girlfriend by then!) and she hit me because I called her out for making us unsafe in the home.
She's on trial for assault now and I have a restraining order against her. As part of building her case, she recently contested the order. I obviously wasn't having this. Does it get any lamer than picking on a semi-hobo girl? I showed up on the date of the hearing with a fat stack of evidence. She was waiting outside the courthouse all done up. I was already not in great mental shape and had called up another friend who works as a victim advocate. My friend and her intern waited with me outside the courtroom.
Well, we all sat down on our side in front of the judge. I poured myself some water. My throat was parched because I thought this was going to be drama and fireworks. I was up against a trashy emotional vampire who thrives off drama. But the heifer never came in after she saw me! "Now you tell me who won... I see them, they run!"
In some states and/or circumstances you have grace period to appear for hearings, before you are considered as having failed to appear and either you're charged or a judgement is made against you; for this one it was 10 minutes of leeway. My friend is a Scorpio with a tight Sun-Pluto conjunction and two other Scorp planets. She just looked at me and said, "Hey Rusalka, it's 1:40 already," with a smirk.
Here's the chart. That was the tail end of the Moon transiting my Jupiter and it was money. Here the Sun is almost exactly trine my Uranus and Uranus almost exactly trine my Mars.
Call that my mother died.
Call that my daughter in law died.
I was deeply surprised when I was told I had a tumor last year. I expected I'd have cancer one day. Family history and career choices. I was surprised it was breast cancer. I expected colon or lung.
It's over and done. Stage I caught by annual screening mammogram. My sister wasn't doing regular screening and had Stage III breast cancer. Her treatment was far more extensive... I could call it the Tale of Two Sisters. Two sisters diagnosed with a few months of each other.
EDIT: Pluto transit to natal Cancer (breast) Moon in both of our charts.
Negative surprise: Dad’s fast decline/passing.
Positive surprise: Not long after Jupiter entered my 4th, a family member (who had disappointed me in the past) , randomly came forward and surprised me with their kindness and generosity.
