Mars in the Third needs to be heard!
A friend of mine said to me that he and I get our wires crossed a bit because we live on opposite ends of the planet. There is so much that divides us from other people: nationality, religion, education, interests, socio-economic levels and morality. For me, personally, the greatest divide that separates me from others is a differing sense of humor. Something happened the other day and I rushed to tell a friend because she would get the symbolism. She did. But she didn’t enjoy the irony and, for me, that killed the pleasure of sharing it with her.
My beloved Donna Cunningham tells me that April 2010, is the National Humor Month and a good time to write an astrology post lit up with humor. When I first heard about it, I decided not to do it. Low energy level and exhaustion are such party poopers. But even as I thought about it, I remembered all the funny astro bits I have been saving up. This seemed like a perfect time to post them. If you are reading this, you may not like them because they are rather trivial. They might even offend the purists amongst you. But I put them down here, nevertheless, for those who like a joke. And I put them down here without any malice or desire to offend. So here you go, my random funny astro bits:
*Differing sense of humor is an unbridgeable gap that divides ordinary humans. Amongst astrologers, it’s the house system they use.
*Juila Roberts gets more hits on my blog in a day than I get in a year.
*A Mercury-in-Capricorn writer on a word with many meanings: The definition is squishy. It all depends on the context that it’s used. I guess. You guess. The reader guesses. I prefer my words to stand on their own two feet. Thank you very much.
*Whenever I see the Moon is void of course, I sing this to the tune of the Mister Ed theme song:
The moon is void of course, of course,
and no one can talk to the moon, of course

Moon in Cancer is touchy!
*An amateur astro-loving friend wrote this to me: I have a huge ass because of that Venus-Jupiter thing.
*One astrologer telling another about a new crush: No, no, he isn’t an astrologer, he’s a human.
*What mommy astrologer says to baby astrologer to get him to sleep at night: Behave! Or Algol’s gonna get you.
ON LEOS:

Gotta love Leo
*If you want to pat a Leo with Virgo planets on the back for achievement, make sure you pat their back exactly in the center.
*Leos don’t sulk, they rant and rave while dramatically gesturing with their hands. They also pace around the room while doing this.
ON NEPTUNIANS:
*Want to see what it feels like to be a Neptunian? Suspend your disbelief.
-
Neptune square Mercury
*Neptune squares my Mercury: I’m not sure what I think about that.
*Neptunians find a perfect peg on which to hang their fantasies in Plutonians. These two types meet, interact and that is why so many bad love poems are written.
*Spoken by a Venus-Neptune: I can give up a man I’m in love with, but not cigarettes.
*Spoken by a Sun-opposition-Neptune in 1st and 7th when he was told to be careful about whom he trusts: I’ve had that issue, but some people are so tempting.
*If I told you I have Venus-square-Neptune, would you still respect me?

Neeti, that is so funny! I squirted tea from y nose as I was laughing so hard. Brilliantly done and totally achieved the goal. I also think you touched upon something very true about relationships. The lack of similar sense of humor is a relationship killer. It does not matter if you share the same values, background, education, social status, profession etc.. if the other person does not get your sense of humor… You still love them but it’s a damper.
As for Julia Roberts: Get a number and get in line. That’s you, me and the rest of the world that get less hits than her. I would kiiiiiiiil for her smile.
As for Leos that rant and rave: You might have added that they roar when ranting and raving and pacing around. Leos are so loud! they talk loud, they whisper noisy and when they are excited the walls boom.
On an astrologer about their crush being human: isn’t that ironic that as we, astrologers, study humanity we better relate to our fellow colleagues than other people?
An amateur astro-loving friend wrote this to me: I have a huge ass because of that Venus-Jupiter thing: Thank God, we can blame anything on astrology!
Thanks. The post made my day and put a smile on my face.
Delightful collage of humor bits, Neeti!! Thank you for being part of Humor Month. I’ll bet that when you get over being tired (when Mars hauls ass out of Leo!), you’ll have more inspirations.
Never mind about Julia Roberts’ smile–I would kill for her laugh. She has the most infectious, silly, delightful laugh I’ve ever heard. My idea of true success as a writer would be having her laugh at something I said.

Can’t wait, cannot wait, DC for Mars to haul ass 😀
Have added the flamingtext you sent, thank you!

Great post Neeti – I laughed out loud at – “If you want to pat a Leo with Virgo planets on the back for achievement, make sure you pat their back exactly in the center.” (as well as my Leo planets I’ve got venus/pluto in Virgo and SO identify!) – loved it. 🙂
There’s quite a few of us Leo-Virgos about. I love both the energies, in myself and others.
*LOL* Brilliant! Great way to have the morning coffee. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Karen.
Like many others, I’m in awe of your blog!
Oh thanks *insert blush here* I am still finding everyone in the astro blog world and am blown away each new discovery, your blog included. Thanks for the kind words, they made my day on a fairly blah’ish one xo
I saved the sulking moon in cancer pic. It contains ALL and is hilarious! (I swear it looks exactly like a dear friend of mine that has such a moon). XD
Yeah, I love that one. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by!
[…] Neeti Ray from Astrology Expressed has put together a hilarious post to celebrate National Humor Month. Check it out. […]
The Zen Birthday Card!
Great post, Neeti. I remember a cartoon from many years ago that a friend of my did: something along the lines of a broccoli sitting in a chair across from a pumpkin, and the pumpkin is saying, “You’re a carrot, but you have broccoli rising.” Ha! I always loved that one. I know it’s dumb, but I’m actually writing this with a big smile on my face – it just tickles me.
Love it 🙂
Oh Neeti, I will now hear the Mr. Ed tune in my head when reading void-of-course on anything, for probably the rest of my life now. This is why I love you so.
It’s lovely, isn’t it? “Of course, of course.” 🙂
Hi Neeti
I’m another Leo – with Virgo Rising – also known to Susannah, Donna and your good self! – who fell about laughing at the accuracy of the Leo/Virgo mix joke. Spot on! I’m sending you and your readers a link to a few more cartoons, but especially check out the first one, which is my all-time favourite taking the mickey out of astrology ( but in a good way!) joke….

Thanks for this post. How awful it would be if we couldn’t be silly or laugh at ourselves!
