Today’s Oracle takes us to the Capricorn weekly Feb. 26, 1999
A horoscope is hardly the place to embark on a lengthy discussion of the pleasure, wisdom and spiritual power involved with s/m play, but it’s worth a short endorsement at this moment in your life. “Sado-masochism,” as it’s called, is, contrary to the myths, not about enjoying giving or receiving pain. It’s about exploring power, including the power of pleasure, the pleasure of control and restriction, and investigating the very liberating spaces of surrender to another person — all within agreed-upon limits. If your relationships take on some of the negative connotations of these ideas in their other-than-sexual aspects, or even if they don’t, this would be an excellent time to get out the silk scarves, toss a coin to see who goes first, and work out your differences with one of you tied to a bed. Not in a relationship? Please don’t let that stop you from playing with the experience of a long, agonizing, negotiated tease into total glorious release and gratification.
