Tuesday’s Eclipse: Reservations about Existence

I’ve finished the draft of Friday’s lead article for Planet Waves Astrology News. A series of breakthroughs has led me into new territory with this eclipse, and how it relates to our reservations about existence. The theme as I see it is how we feel about being conceived; about having been conceived and the sense of victimization that can come with our parents bringing us into existence unconsciously. Though I wasn’t quite planning it, this theme dovetails with yesterday’s post in Book of Blue – “The Split: What is it about Men?”

Here is a brief excerpt:

From the standpoint of the soul/child about to be conceived, assuming their intent plays a role in that fact, there is that moment of standing helpless, powerless and alone before the parents’ experience, which is the sexual experience that creates our physical form and sets off the new incarnation. In any incarnation, our first experience of sex is the sex that created us, over which we have no control; to which we are directly subject; and to which we relate to man and woman as equivalent energies, exterior to us, but of which we are neither.

I call this initial experience the вЂ?conception drama’ or the вЂ?primal scene’. The sense of powerlessness that attends the primal scene, and our refusal to look at it and make peace with it (most of us do not want to think about, much less witness, our parents having sex; and we don’t generally get to study other male-female couples having sex) is, I believe, at the root of our powerlessness around sex; and hence the root of our powerlessness around our own self-creative process.
