Subway Stories - Couples

I haven't written any tales from the T in quite some time, because nothing particularly remarkable has happened. Well I don't know what was in the air last night or in the stars, but I couldn't help but noticing three couples arguing. Maybe they weren't arguing, but just having animated conversations at a heightened volume. I don't know.

Walking down Summer Street towards South Station, to my left I heard a woman talking rather loudly. She said, "You always do that!" Then he denied it. She was tall and they were both wearing very casual clothes. I was walking really fast, so I didn't hear much else. Then at the entrance to South Station to my right, a dressed up couple was talking really loudly too. I was more focused on making my train than listening to them, so I couldn't hear what they were saying. I should have lingered a bit, because I waited twenty minutes for the train.

When I got out at Wollaston, there was another couple at the entrance talking loudly. But they could have just been playing around, because they seemed to be sort of wrestling with each other. It's interesting seeing these little snapshots of people's lives.

My curiosity about the possible planetary influences last night got the best of me, so I just found an astrological prediction for yesterday. There was something going on! Look here. Below is an excerpt from KT theAstrologer at BlogHer.

"Well, it’s here at last — Mars opposing Jupiter. About ten days ago I posted a list of keyword phrases for these two can-do planets. At the risk of being repetitive, here are just a few of the myriad possibilities for the energy being created today: increased aggression and pushing things too far."

Did anyone else notice these types of interactions last night?
