Hey Mem – I agree with HH72. If he didn’t tell you the information was a secret, then there is no reason for you to feel badly about revealing it.

This has me wondering if this is a passive-aggressive mechanism on his part to sabotage relationships. Trying to guess someone’s “rules” is super crazy-making IMO.

Hi Mem, thanks for the sympathy. I’ll see how it goes. At the moment I’m exhausted with the on-again, off-again rollercoaster. I’m waiting to see if this Full Moon is going to lance the boil…

I don’t think you can reveal a secret if you didn’t know it was one.

Hmm. Good point.

I have a very hard time with this stuff, probably because I’ve been having to keep so many secrets lately and because I have been surrounded by so many Scorpios. No, he didn’t tell me that he was angry, just that he was peeved I told her. Thank you, Les.

This is becoming a very nurturing community, Neith and Pat. I like it.

Mem: If he didn’t explicitly tell you it was a secret, then you did nothing wrong. How would you possibly know that you weren’t supposed to mention it to your other friend? Are you a mind-reader? Do you actually know that’s he’s angry, or are you trying to mind-read that, too?! I think our minds are prone to picking up on our own fears and spinning stories base on those fears that may or may not be correct.

And at the same time, I totally can understand if he feels betrayed and doesn’t want to see me again because it was his privacy. And maybe I’m not quite equipped to handle this stuff. I don’t know.

The interesting thing is that the misstep I made gave me an insight. Here’s the story. I met a guy thru a friend. He & she text every day and are friends since childhood. He and I hit it off and began texting (I guess it’s the new thing in courtship). Anyway, he told me that he would be having surgery on Monday. On Tuesday I see my friend and she happens to mention that he was working until really late that Monday night. And I immediately went, Huh? I didn’t say anything but then went back to my desk and thought that suppressing my natural reaction was more of my Pisces Moon again. Plus, suddenly I immediately wondered if he was playing me for a fool. I just assumed that he’d lied to me and I told her that I was confused, that he’d told me he had had surgery on Monday. Turns out he had and that he just hadn’t told her.

What was interesting is that I felt weirdly grounded about it. I had had a feeling that I shouldn’t say anything but at the same time, I didn’t want to repeat this pattern of burying my head in the sand. I did feel badly, though, because I’d blown a confidence so I apologized but didn’t get a chance to speak to him. Even though I could tell he was angry and I didn’t blame him for being angry, I sat there and realized that I was feeling very angry myself. And I thought, Well, what am I so angry about? And it hit me: I don’t like to be burdened with someone’s secrets. I resent it. In this case, I didn’t know it was a secret (after all, he & she are very good friends so why would he tell me but not her–I guess he wanted to establish trust with me and I blew it so I can see how he would be very angry). But my anger had nothing to do with him. I sat there and remembered being a child and having my grandmother burden me with her confidences. And I’m a naturally outspoken person so keeping quiet was HARD, asides from the fact that it was a totally inappropriate thing to do to a child. I don’t need to know that my grandfather is unfaithful, thank you very much. I also remembered that I had just come out of a relationship in which I had to keep a secret and that was a terrible strain. In short, I deeply resent being in the position in which I have to watch what I say, especially if you don’t tell me that so-and-so doesn’t know.

Now I think I understand this terrible fear I have that I’ll say the wrong thing.

Hh72: Sigh. Let us know how that turns out, if you want to. And if not, that’s okay, too.

I totally felt the drag last week. I was tired and cranky with everyone. I have a natal 12th house Mercury in Leo (retrograde), can we say touchy? Anywho, this week I feel so much better and am trying to catch up for all that I was unable to do last week. Retrogrades are ht or miss for me. This one affected my body more than technology or communication. I am hoping this full moon in sag brings some much need insight. Thank you for your astrological analysis. I appreciate you.

Mem, I concur. Romance has been swinging in extreme directions. Very push-pull on the part of this Mars in Taurus. I think this full moon on my descendant is time to say goodbye, I can’t keep playing this game anymore.

I haven’t seen any movement on the romantic front at all. In fact, the guy I met recently and really liked might be out of the picture altogether. He has Mars in Taurus natally and I’ve been told he’s “very slow-moving” in love matters. But either way, I think I may have blown it.
