12YearsABlobI loved your delineation of Mars-Jupiter in your post!
"Also, Jupiter & Saturn are semi-generational planets."
Yes, I was meaning to point that out, but somehow forgot that.
" Like when the teacher gives you a gold star on your homework for spelling "dinosaur" right. "
ROFL, that reminds me of one - slightly - embarassing moment for me.
At an open air concert P was asked to do the moderation and in introducing his colleague and friend, who has Italian roots, he was reading an article aloud about why the number 17 is considered unlucky in Italy. (the reason being that if you put the Roman numbers for 17: XIVII into a different order: VIXI, it is the latin word for "I have lived" - meaning I am dead now).
WEll it was the first time I heard that, but as a Latinteacher I loved that and got a bit carried away in my enthusiasm, and was applauding (mostly an expression of my amazement as Latin-teacher. lol), unfortunately I was the only one of about 2000-3000 people, and unfortunately P would NOT let this slide, but actually admonish me - playfully-: "I am just reading an article from wikipedia aloud. You know I can read, right? What are you? A German teacher?"
I was so embarassed, all I did was letting my head hang and look to the ground, seeking for a hole to disappear into, and well P then said: "Yeah, figures."
Oh great! But anyway I as the Jupiter-person basically applauded him for being able to read. LOL
And he as Mars in Virgo was not going to let this opportunity for a joke on my expense slide.
But I think from his perspective, it added to the entertainment value in this moment.
" I dunno if you've noticed, but Mars tends to see Jupiter's general good-humour & jokes as flirting, coz they 'trigger' their Mars by being like that.
"
Oh, wow, I did not think about that, but it makes sense!
Maybe that is the reason that sometimes, okay pretty often, when we talk, I will just be joking or think I am joking, and he is also joking, and it is not even in the words being said, but somehow in the way he sais something or I don´t know, but suddenly there will be an air of, I don`t know, like there is an intensity and downright flirtativeness in the air all at once, and I am most of the time completely baffled cause I did not see it coming, or have no clue why it suddenly feels that way. As I was just joking and being myself, right?
of course one could argue how much of an innocent joke it can be to ask a guy if he is "expensive" after he told me that I could "buy me, too. Then I`ll/we`ll play for you( in your livingroom)". LOL
Context is everything of course, but taken out of context, sometimes our wording is... funny-weird.
(the context was that he is sometimes working with his bands on private occasions, meaning if you get married or have birthday or just are bored alone at home, you can book them and they will play some songs, sort of like a wedding singer).
I mean just a joking interplay, there was nothing really flirtative about it, I think? But something about it suddenly felt... charged.
