Venus in Pisces tries to raise the vibration of Mars in Virgo. But Mars finds her methods to be somewhat impractical. Can you ground your mystic visions into something that makes a tangible difference to someone else?
The following conversation takes place over the telephone between a man and woman.
She: I love you.
He: Ya, you’ve said that umpteen times.
She: And I’ll say it umpteen more times because my love for you is boundless.
He: Right. Meanwhile, I’ve got a mess on my desk that needs to be sorted out.
She: When it comes to fixing messes you are beyond compare.
He: Thanks. Now, uh, back to work I go.
She: Alright then. But let’s see a movie when you’re done.
He: I’ll be here a while. Picking through everyone else’s mistakes is no easy task.
She: All the more reason why you’ll need an escape in a few hours.
He: Escape? Ha, that’s your department, babe. One of us needs to actually do something.
She: Are you implying that I do nothing?
He: Implying? No, I don’t think so.
She: I will have you know that I do plenty of things. I just don’t need to boast about it to anyone who’ll listen.
He: You do plenty, alright. Most of it ends up costing me money. Did you really need to throw another pair of shoes on the AmEx?
She: Of course. Being well-heeled doesn’t happen by magic, you know.
He: Neither does paying bills.
She: I don’t see why you’re being so atrociously mean. Admit it, when I’m on your arm you feel proud to call me yours.
He: Sure I do. But maybe, instead of giving all of your old shoes away you could try selling them on eBay. It’s not like we couldn’t use the money.
She: Whatever happened to ‘it’s better to give than to receive?’
He: The person who coined that phrase went into receivership.
She: Cynic.
He: Okay, I’ve gotta get back to work here.
She: So a movie later, then?
He: Fine. But it’s my pick this time. No more fluff. I need something substantial.
She: The Artist?
He: Nah. Coriolanus.
She: Is there dancing in that one?
He: Sure, dancing. In the battlefield.
She: Can we have popcorn?
He: No, we’ve talked about this; you need to stop eating that crap.
She: Chocolate, then?
He: Sure. Go wild. Stuff yourself with chocolate for all I care. Then, when your feet get too fat to fit into any of your expensive shoes, maybe you can bankrupt me and buy a few more pairs.
She: (in tears) You’re mean. I’m hanging up now.
He: Bye then.
She: Oh, I could never hang up on you. Don’t you know how much I adore you? My love for you knows no limits….
