Wacky-ass destiny and getting knocked up.

"Dear Mystic…
I met a Delicious Delicious Scorpio Rising Libran in May (he is still delicious to me, no matter what!) - he literally appeared before my eyes in true Neptune-Ascendant style and said ‘are you bored? Come with me!’… and I followed this Pied Piper for a Very Naughty Fling.
Really, Mystic, I am very sensible and dedicated to my personal evolution and my children… this whole thing is what the alchemists call ‘blackening the silver’… its necessary for me, although I am still working my way through it all… anyway I digress.
DSRL is a childless died-in-the-wool bachelor complete with macho job (steel erection – don’t laugh that is an actual trade!) and Not Cool 1960’s house with pool and dart board. Drives a Ute with Cattle dogs in the back. What was I thinking? He is essentially a Cashed Up Bogan. I am too Princess for him. He broke up with me because it got a bit too real and we had one last roll in the you-know-what (ok there was a lot of Vodka and other substances I Normally Do Not Approve Of involved) and voila I am With Child. Too much information???
He is maddening in the style of his own Moon-Uranus conjunction in Virgo (which happens to be conjunct my Pluto/IC/Jupiter/South NOde/Uranus stellium). First he loves me then he Don’t. Or He Doesn’t Want Me, but Doesn’t Want Any Other Man to Have Me Either. His Saturn on my Venus.
As you know I’m Up the Duff, so no matter what excellent advice is in the daily Astro Rave (always fabulous btw) I am hormonally bound to be a freak anyway. How on Earth am I going to get through this horrible all-day-sickness stage with this psycho-making not-a-relationship situation hanging over me?? HELP!

Well, uh, he ain't childless no more.
I mainly read this letter and was kind of amused, but on an astrological note, it's kinda interesting.
(a) They set off a lot of planets on each other.
(b) Uranuses conjunct can mean a lot of pulling-apart-getting-back-together...obviously happening here. (Though it also ah, applies to people around the same age, which they probably are.)
(c) A South Node connection is big ol' past life karma- scary.
(b) Saturn/Venus conjunction in synastry is also big ol' scary-ass karma.
Yiiiiiiikes. Intriguing and yet frightening. And now these two are tied together, whether he likes it or not. (The Moon might very well be a child-related past life thing...) Kinda funny that this pregnancy resulted from Doing What She Does Not Normally Approve Of.
I'm still trying to figure out what a hobby alchemist is.
Darling Pregnant Taurean,
I am not going to go on and on about this situation here because, in other e-mails, you have sounded utterly sanguine and together about - at least - the pregnancy aspect of the scenario & adding this new child to your other kids. So, that's good and you are a healthy woman. Go Taurus! Really, the how to get him thing. Do you want him? I mean how would a dartboard fit with your Feng Shui?
You must know that your Pluto on his Moon would evoke powerful reactions in this guy. Mutual Venus/Saturn aspects in your synastry tie you together but take time to ripen. Moon-South Node is THE classic indicator of so-called past live connections but astro aside, he IS kinda stuck with you or with some aspect of you vis a vis this little baby that you are having...Scorp Rising can be SO SLOW to turn around - have you ever steered a big boat? It takes a while before the boat responds to the wheel. I know because I nearly crashed a ferry into a naval base once when I was very young & foolish. And LIbra is, well, Libra. He is a Libran man.
I reckon just wait. It's maddening & all that but clearly he has a lot to get his cute bogan head around with you. His whole life would change. November has just begun. Let him go through his own version of Scorpsville sans interference from you. Surely you have some serenity hormones coursing through you by now? As Michael Lutin once wrote, if something is meant to be a significant relationship in your life then it will be.
And not everyone is a hobby alchemist.
Anyhoo... as a Scorpio Rising, that slow thing is well...true.
