Pluto And Mars Face Off
There's No Escaping The Dramatics
I must be better than German TV, because I don't think the route to Rheinsberg has seen this much glamour since the turn of two centuries before last. Those little blonde German children couldn't even blink when gazing upon me -- granted, this was only when I was officially in the middle of nowhere Germany and I was on a bus boarded at Neuruppin. A 45-minute ride that gave me just enough time to transform completely in clothes and make-up into something special to reunite with my awesome and amazing Shlomi, who was there to perform in Barber of Seville.
...And even though I was sent a detailed itinerary, down to the minute of each arrival and departure and even approximate walk times between platforms, I still fucked it up. Two minutes before the proper stop, I got off. What the fuck I was thinking? This is Germany and if the arrival time says 13:16, it's 13:16, not 13:14.
If I had any brain, I'd of put it all together before it was too late, seeing that there was no Shlomi, a two-minute time difference and then the nothingness of where the stop was located, as in no castle in sight, which was my destination... So, there I was looking like a craigslist hooker walking down the road in this German countryside with nothing, but field, forest and asphalt surrounding me: Me, Asian and in rhinestoned-encrusted silver heels, animal print short-shorts, red lips, big hair and flashy and obviously fake jewels.
Thankfully, my shoes were comfy and walking wasn't a bitch, even in the dirt. However, the 100 degree weather was. I tried flagging down passing buses, but to no avail -- although a few drivers did wave back...and seeing there were a few buses, I happily assumed the stop had to be somewhere obvious and if walking was the only way, it could be done....but when I got to an abandoned-looking gas station down the road, with only three random characters there, it made me wonder where I was going to wind up, as my resistance was low...Yes, from there I jumped into the back of a van with tinted windows with two complete strangers. One, never did I see without his sunglasses on and the other was shaving in the mirror of the passenger window and saying in seconds they had to be at the castle in a hurried manner like The White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, but resembling the professor from Back To The Future.
Seems they just happen to be on their way to meet their old friend for lunch, the Creative Director of the opera, and was heading to the castle too! Hoorah! I didn't even care if they were actually serial rapists at that point, I just wanted out from the sun and being anywhere other than were I was...but all was fine and my wacky new friends were a pure delight. If anything, my entrance into town was even more dramatic that planned.
...Yet, that was only the start of the amazing time to come and the fabulous people I'd meet...
P.S. As for my 2¢ about the production: WUNDERBAR! PHANTASTISCH! I have seen many operas (mostly at the MET. My favorite opera is La Cenerentola) and this is my second time seeing Barber of Seville. The first time was at the Vienna Opera House, but the Rheinsberg production superseded that experience and will be the Barber of Seville I will remember always.

PLuto Retrograde Still
Death Becomes Me
Not that I would ever have a grave, (I am 100% for cremation. I want to be blended with my Bauddha, and thrown equals parts in N.H, at our spot. Then, scraps of me are given to each of the people I love to put in a meaningful place.
One day I asked my friend Jay what he would do with me. He said he'd keep part of me and then bury the rest at Cleopatra's Needle in Central Park, where we first bonded, when I was itching to get into his Clue group that met there every other Sunday to play Clue. I love Clue. It's my favorite. When I was 11, and I played it at a friend's house, it made me soooo happy, I'd almost classify it as my first high. One hit was all it took. Subsequent birthday money went right to getting my own. I wrote," K.T. was here, 986 B.C. (sarcasm)," inside the box in that totally curvy tween way of writing. Sad thing was nobody was into it, so I hardly had anyone to play with and when I did, they sucked. Then, I met JAY, someone who makes me eternally happy! (If Clue where an Olympic event, he'd be the captain.))
Anyway, back to the point. Earlier, killing time perusing SkyMall (love), I saw this. If I ever had a grave, I'd want my tombstone to look like this, but with my likeness, placed randomly on my plot and instead of my birth to death date, it would just have my name and Scorpio in small letters somewhere inconspicuous and tasteful.

Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn
Enter the dark side (insert maniacal laugh).
My afternoon in one of the most bizarro places on earth, The Holy Land, a religious theme "experience" in the outskirts of Orlando.... Some of you might have seen it in Religulous (click this link to watch the film), where Bill Maher interviews Jesus (click this link to read about the film) -- and it's no joke, this is the land of 10,000 Jesus...

Pluto goes direct in Capricorn
...and the answer is...
Fate has a funny way of working things out and this week, it'll start taking care of business in much more powerful way, as Pluto, the (dwarfed) planet of sex, death, birth and transformation goes back into forward gear!!!!
Yes, since April 9th, Pluto has been going retrograde in Capricorn, muddling up information and making it a bit more difficult to know what and who you can trust, as the whole idea of structure came into question. However, now with Pluto moving forward again, you can expect a loosening up of the collar of sorts, as mysteries won't seem as dark and hazy...and as for the area in which you shall see an ah-ha moment, they are as follows:
Aries: Career, Dealings with authority, Your reputation
Taurus: Truth, Morals, Faith
Gemini: Power, Sex, Secrets
Cancer: Partnerships, Justice, Commitment
Leo: Daily routines, Self-improvement, Service to others
Virgo: Romance, Pride issues, Leisure
Libra: Home, Family, Business
Scorpio: Communications, Community, Dealings with siblings
Sagittarius: Your values system, personal feelings of self-worth, comfort
Capricorn: Motivation, Self-image, Independence
Aquarius: The Past, Psychological issues, Karma
Pisces: Friendships, Ideas in regard to your future, Hopes and dreams

Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn
When death goes bad...
In the shadow of bad feng shui, I live down the street from a funeral parlor and often times I am awoken WAY earlier than I wish by a crazy cacophony of something else....Now, I get it's a Chinese tradition to have a band playing to help scare demons away, but this one is scaring the living too — and how the deceased isn't confused in its newly spirited state from this too, god only knows???...So, question of the day, does this band SUCK or is it just me? My case...
What I woke to?
...another Chinese funeral band...
....a more traditional one...
NOW, SERIOUSLY, AM I WRONG?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pluto goes direct in Capricorn
Rebooted and ready to go.
Pluto is the farthest "planet" from the sun and its slow to make a move. As the "planet" that represents transformation, it's a reminder that all good things do come to those who wait and work it slowly and methodically. Since it's in Capricorn, the sign of structure, this is time to resort our foundations, our beliefs and understanding to be able to withstand the long haul. So, as this distant influence plays its part in the scheme of things, this new forward motion means time to take all that you now know and put it to good use, as in setting up new groundwork that you can rely on.
As for how this affects each sign, here is the list of areas in your life that you should focus on shoring up:

Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn
Didn't I learn that already?
When it comes to the planet of death mixing with the sign of structure, then it hitting the retrograde button, that means you hold on tight because if you don't know who you are and what you want, you could be in for some major turbulence. As it goes, people and situations will come out of the woodwork to trip you up, and you’ll have to fight your demons to rise above. While this will seem like a nearly impossible feat, since we are only human, keeping the eye on the prize is all you can do. Strive, succeed as much as you can and deal.
While certain days will be an upward battle that goes nowhere, or crashes you down harder than the day before, leaving you wondering why you even try and all you want to do is sooth yourself with whichever vice works quickest, all that is ever left is having to start again in some shape or fashion… Perhaps the roads you are trying really aren't for you or that you just went at it the wrong way… No matter, you have to keep moving ahead, because time is inevitable and if you try to sidestep it, it’ll always be the hardest route to go. It sucks. It’s rough and it’s thankless most of the time, but ahhhh, when things do line up perfectly and make you feel that god-like ecstasy, those are the moments you hold onto.

Zero degrees of Pluto
Unmistakable messages from the universe arrive.
Nobody likes to come home to a mess, and it's even worse when that mess involves death. Even more annoying is finding it after coming home from a long enough flight at 1 a.m. and just wanting to crash. Today, that was a dead mouse, and it was so far gone, there were giant maggots carrying it. I noticed that because while staring at it in utter repulsion, I saw it was moving sideways.
Examine the scene below closer, you'll realized it had actually died closer to the door, but it was so dead, the maggots had already moved in and moving it off. GROSS!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!! GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pluto and the moon in the eighth: the house of death, mystery and transformation
Morbid curiosities.
As a Scorpio, I can't help myself from being intrigued and repulsed by roadkill. Lucky me, in my neck of the woods, there seems to be a high number of animal causalities during the warmer months. This one was particularly disturbing, since in fresh squished form, it looked like it was a pleasantly cute creature. The next day, not so much.

(Update: by day three, all evidence was gone.)
