Some Sound Sexual Advice
Many times, astrology is just right-on. If your sexual partner is a(n):
Aries – Be ready for an adventure. Don’t exactly look for long, sensitive foreplay – ain’t gonna happen. No place
for hang-ups either. Get with it. Tell them how good they are
Taurus - Take your time, I mean, what’s the hurry? Savor the moment and the ambiance. Any strawberries in the
frig? Pleasant smelling candles? Low light? Atmosphere is everything. Oh, I didn’t know my elbow could feel so
good!
Gemini – My goodness, anything goes here! Chandelier’s nice and strong. You want me to do what? No, I’ve not made
love in a grocery store before. This is not the time to use your cell phone either. Geez. Leave that costume for
Halloween, will you? What a circus, sure, invite your cousins over. What is that that you’re rubbing on my ears?
Cancer – Can you be gentle with me? This is no place to speak of past conquests. Your partner is the only one.
This is the place for long foreplay. Except, none of this is play. Lots of hugging and nuturing. Yeh, really.
Yes, I will love you in the morning and forever and ever. OK? I will NEVER leave you, promise.
Leo – What a performance! Encore! This could last a while, I tell ya. Buy a huge waterbed with a great big
canopy. Do we have to use the cameras tonight? This is quite a production. You must have gone to school for this
– no?! Make sure you compliment your partner’s abilities, twists and turns.
Virgo – Let’s see, it’s 11:05, you’re 5 minutes late. Did you remember the sanitized towels? If we get done with
this “task” before 11:25 I’ll be able to get 8 hours of sleep, exactly. Please, don’t start crying. OK, that’s
better. I always like it better if my leg is wrapped around this way, yes, that’s it.
Libra – Tell her how beautiful her negligee is. Yes, I know, the makeup comes off afterwards. This should be very
pleasant and elegant. Make sure the music is appropriate and make dang sure no one is peeping in the windows. Do
I like your my earrings?
Scorpio – Oh my, better have a pitcher or two of ice-cold water on the bed-stand. Well, I never, I didn’t know it
could be this intense! I never did it on altar linens before. Don’t DARE call him or her the wrong name in the
midst of passion; that could be the end of you.
Sagittarius – Hey, what the heck – you never tried that before? Hell, it’s fun, c’mon! Anything goes here.
What was your name again? Oh yeah. Try running down the hall first, come back and then jump….! It’s a blast. Who cares
about doing it “right”, sure, I’ll try that. Exactly what type of ointment is that?
Capricorn – Well dear, I just don’t understand. We’re really not supposed to try positions other than the
missionary, are we? May I take a break? I’m starting to sweat a little bit. Are you OK? I don’t want you to get a
bruise anywhere, and Lord forbid, what about a blood clot! Could you imagine the bills for that?
Aquarius – Well it’s all so wonderful, isn’t it? I just love to explore every inch of you. You never tried this
with a black-light on! It’s way cool. Yes, I’ll love you in the morning; I’m just not sure where I’ll be by then
– who knows?
Pisces – Yes Jill, I mean Joanne, er Judy – you’re simply the greatest. Don’t you have to be at work now? It’s
Monday morning at 11:00am. Yes, I’d love to float away with you too.
And when it’s all said and done, may all of you astrological aficionados have a few extra sextiles.
We All Live in an Emotional World
Each of us lives in an emotional world. You may not notice this world but it’s probably better said that we all
tend to take this highly-defined invisible world for granted. This arena in which we move is largely formed and
sustained by the astrological archetype into which we were born. Keep in mind, as always, that your Sun sign is
just part of your makeup. There is much more to you and your nature.
What I mean by an emotional world is that we feel our way through life naturally. Many times we expect others to
feel the same way as we do and we often shake our heads in misbelief when others don’t. As you can imagine, this
can lead to continual friction. The emotional sphere we live in explains very much about our behavior and also
shows why we get the “astrological reputations” that we do. If you do what you do it’s because that’s what you
do. And, if you do what you do (naturally) then you don’t do what you don’t do. Clear?
You’ll get the idea when you read through the following sections and think of yourself, your family and your
friends and you’ll get the idea that their Yellow Submarine is quite different than the one in which you find
yourself submerged.
Aries – The Aries world is like a big bowling alley where you’re the only bowler, no rules, have as many balls as
you want and you can just bowl and bowl and bowl. The pins are always setup automatically. It’s there for your
amusement. There are no restrictions. Hell, it’s time to bowl, isn’t it, let’s go! Oops, don’t get in the way…
Taurus – It’s cozy and there’s lots of good food. Life is simple and not rushed. The world is relatively small
but who cares? Big things don’t fit in this world. Relaxed and sensuous contentment. Big cushions.
Gemini – What a fascinating cornucopia of interesting things to explore! It’s light and bouncy. Nothing heavy
here. Always something novel to do. It’s not necessary to take a stand on any issue here; we can just brush those
matters aside. An electronic sandbox – what a gas. And there are so many fun boys and girls all around. Let’s
see… what will I wear today? Who will I be?
Cancer – It’s soft, tender, and quiet. It’s warm; everybody loves me and I love them. I have to keep that strong
front door good and shut. Got to keep out all those loud, scary noises outside. It’s safe here, warm and
nourishing. All my small delicate collectibles and memorables are on the shelf.
Leo – Wow! What a stage! I feel like singing. Why’s everybody so uptight? Can they see me? Can they tell what
great talent I have? The world is colorful and daringly bright. The band is so good and we make incredible music
together. I wonder what song the crowd wants to hear next.
Virgo – The place smells like sawdust. Everybody is watching me… did I just make a mistake? I hope not. I have so
much to do and there’s so little time. I wish those other guys would get things right, you know; if you want
something done right, you just have to do it yourself. Would you just look at that hutch I made yesterday, it’s
just perfect, and it’ll last 200 years! Quick, gotta hop in the shower, I have things to do.
Libra – It’s like a glamour ball – all the time. Everybody has such nice clothes on; I do hope I look ok. The
world is pleasant here, nice smells, beautiful fabrics, and paintings. Everyone is so polite and charming. I’m
glad those crude people I saw aren’t here, it’s so pleasant. All in good time, yes thank you, I believe I will
have some more champagne.
Scorpio – This is one dark, intense place. All move about so furtively. Gotta be careful – everyone is playing
for big stakes here. Why it’s Wuthering Heights! It’s an eternal place and only the brave of heart inhabit this
place. Don’t stare at me! I’ll stare right back. The wafting odor of passion all around; it’s so mysterious; it’s
so uncontainable. Gotta be bold.
Sagittarius – My goodness, I love it here! It’s huge and fun and let’s just enjoy ourselves. Hell, put it on one
of my credit cards, I don’t care! What a blast, load up the van! Let’s get going. I don’t care where!
Capricorn – It’s just like a bank office. Professional and everyone is doing their job. No one is out of order.
It’s quiet and no alarms are going off. We all know what we have to do and there’s just no room for misbehaving.
It’s my job to follow orders… I saw a rowdy van go by, you wait, they’ll end up in jail where they should be.
Aquarius – What an amazing world we have here! It’s just so fascinating! How could anyone be bored. What a
wonderful place we can all build together here. Think of the possibilities. It could be a utopia, really. It’s so
important that we don’t rain on each others’ parade. I’m not getting stuck in other people’s emotional baggage.
My friends… where are my friends?
Pisces – It’s like the beach, it’s unbounded. Look at the vast ocean. I just love everyone and everything in it.
I just want to float on top of it and see where I end up. I’m sure it will be wonderful and I’ll end up somewhere
inviting. I am just so lucky.
Saturn in Libra
The big event. Saturn is now in Libra. We have been going through a very rough Saturn in Virgo time period since
9/2/07. And it isn’t done yet. Later in 2010, Saturn will return for a brief stint in Virgo once again.
Nevertheless, Saturn has not been in the sign of the Scales since 1983. On one hand, Saturn is exalted in Libra.
That’s astrology’s way of saying that it’s the best sign for Libra to inhabit. Why? Saturn can be quite stern as
we all know. While in Libra, it takes full advantage of Libra’s innate sense of fairness – this is the true
blindfold of justice.
And as Libra has such an important reputation for relationships, we can expect many changes in that arena too.
But the main thing that many articles are forgetting about this coming 28-month time period is that as soon as
Saturn entered Libra on October 28, 2009, it started to SQUARE Pluto.
Now these are the two planets that can ruin a picnic more than ants. This is WHY the “government” is standing up
to insurance companies as well as greedy top-heavy corporate CEOs. Saturn has had “enough” and will now lay down
some laws. Much will be written about this time period.
Rest assured, Saturn is exactly where it needs to be, and, I think we all could use a break from it’s inhabitance
in Virgo.
Lunar Dowsing
On October 10, 2009 at 4:31pm Greenwich Mean Time, NASA bombarded the Moon with an explosive devise in an attempt
to further its exploration for water on the lunar surface. Researchers are still analyzing the data that was
recovered.
Of course, many people think that this “means” nothing while others wonder. What could this mean astrologically?
First of all, all events are meaningful in this symbolic art just as was the demotion of Pluto’s classification
in 2006. So what could it mean to bomb the Moon?
Time will tell as we look back at this date but I encourage you to widen your minds and think about what’s
happening with those things lunar… In astrology, the Moon represents so many things, e.g., the mother, home,
land, family, habits, the feminine, etc. Could this mean an attack or an awakening of the “Goddess” herself? Is
this a major “blow” to our past? Why are we searching for Water; water in astrology represents love and emotion.
Does this mean it’s futile to keep using science to solve humane problems? Think on, wonder on… it’s the stuff
that astrology is made of.
Mars is Slowing Down – “Rut Row”
Get ready. I watched Mars do this 2 years ago. Mars and Venus are 2
of the planets that rarely retrograde. On 11/15/07 I watched Mars’
normal irritation go beyond imagination as it stationed at 12° Cancer
and slowly reversed directions until 1/30/08. Did I hear the stories as
the ever-provoking red planet put on the brakes and annoyed many.
Again we will face this phenomenon on December 20 of this year. It will stop at 20° Leo and slowly backup to 0°
Leo in early March of 2010. After that, Mars will resume its normal passage.
In individual charts, it symbolizes a time to slow down, to shut off the conveyor belt, and reassess whether we
are assertive enough. You may remember this same issue was discussed in my newsletter at that time. A time to
sharpen our tools; to rethink our positions before we act too rashly.
What I think will happen collectively is this: Since Mars will be stopping just about in opposition to the major
health-heralding triplicate of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron traveling around the 26th degree of Aquarius, it will
be a landmark turning point in the fight for the “public option.” These three planets are clearly the indicators
of this issue. Note Sen. Ted Kennedy died during this major conjunction.
Since Mars is stopping just short of the opposition at 20°, it will take the fight out of the issue during the
Christmas break. The real lowering of the gloves will have nothing to do with Christmas; it will just look that
way. Forces opposed to the “public option” will slow down and reconvene, rethinking their battle plans. Then, in
early March, as Mars turns direct with a new refreshed head of steam, watch out – the two will be heading for a
face-off. This will occur in early June when Mars finally opposes Chiron. What will happen? I wonder? Will
Senators gladly forfeit their free medical insurance? I doubt it.
Medicare Tested
Medicare was signed into law by Lyndon Johnson on July 30, 1965. Saturn was in Pisces and Uranus was in Virgo
then. Now, it’s reversed, Saturn has been in Virgo while Uranus is in Pisces. It is no coincidence that the two
planets are opposite from where they started. Medicare is having its astrological “mid-life crisis.” This occurs
when any entity is approximately 42 years of age. At this time it is common that Uranus is halfway through its
84-year cycle while Saturn has traveled one and half of its cycles. At that time, Uranus asks, “Is it working,
are we getting the advertised “freedom for all” from what was started in 1965?” And, Saturn asks, “Is it
functioning? Is it doing what it was designed for?” This is one major reason all hell has broken out with the
health care issues.
Venus’ Very Sad Story
Why do I see this over and over and over again? Person A is dating person B where person B has trouble in their
chart between Saturn and Venus. I’m telling you, it’s not every time, but I see it occur so often that you
wouldn’t believe it.
What does this mean? Of all astrological aspects, this seems to be quite troubling. Venus in your chart is your
anima, your “feminine side”, your Yin. It needs to be open and accepting so that love can enter. Period. Saturn’s
job is to make sure things happen or better yet, don’t happen. It’s not that Saturn doesn’t want love, it’s that
its middle name is FEAR and many times it simply becomes too cautious. When these two planets are combined in a
natal chart, especially by conjunction, opposition, square or inconjunct, the native (B) just can’t let go or let
love in.
Person A will often agonize to me, “They’re so nice and I just know that if they let go everything would be ok.
Do you think they will someday?” Heck, I don’t know, but it has been my observation over many years that usually,
they don’t.
What seems to be the problem is that “A” keeps waiting for “B”s rigidity to dissipate. Sometimes B is subject to
a parent who was always depressed. Many times the child of such chooses to be depressed too (unconsciously) in
order to keep Mom or Dad “happy”, actually to not be rejected. Other times, the parents have actually told them,
“Why are YOU so happy, you don’t deserve to be happy!?” - I’ve actually heard that one.
For whatever reason, the native with Saturn/Venus combinations has their work cut out for them. It can be
overcome, but is a work of heart to accomplish. This combo is symbolized by two overly-stern sentries at the
gateway to the happy heart.
By the way, the two emotional planets, Venus and the Moon are just not reasonable. That’s not how they work. They
work by impression of emotional experience. Their wounds run deep. I believe that many times “A” consistently
chooses wounded “B’s” because “A’ will be “justified” (in their minds) in not having to risk or open up
themselves.
Co-dependency
Here’s another common show-stopper in relationships. Either one person or the other has Pluto placed “strongly”
while the others is placed “weakly.” It’s too hard to describe what I mean by that in a newsletter. But, what
does occur so commonly is that the relationship is off kilter. One person is the dominator, while the other often
is dominated. Equal partnership is not how you would describe the energy of this coupling. This often shows up
clearly in composite charts – where two charts are combined.
What I believe is happening here is that both people are manipulating each other to “get what they want.”
Clearly, we can see what the dominator receives, but although it is harder to see, the “victim” is actually
manipulating too. We have a codependency forming. The victim is living off of the “strength” of the dominator. In
a vampirish way, the underdog is borrowing or living off of the other’s very being.
In almost every case that I have seen, each of the pair has low self-esteem or else they wouldn’t be in the
relationship in the first place. The dominator looks for the “weak spot” in the other through which to do their
work. And the dominatee looks for the “weak spot” in the other in order to find a place to hide or exist; paying
any price. Often this price is rather dire.
