<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\nApropos of Scorpio (where the Sun entered on Friday), a story. I was on the phone with Amanda a little while ago, who wrote the hippie gay marriage referendum blog below. She told me she was at her family home this weekend and took a look at her globe, the one she had as a kid, which was unhinged from its stand and floating freely in the universe.<\/p>\n
Looking carefully, she noticed the globe had a Scorpio symbol on it. Small; along a line; the line intersected the equator at an odd angle; and upon further investigation she noticed other zodiac signs were along that line.<\/p>\n
“Gee, that’s interesting,” I said. “I wonder what line that is.”<\/p>\n
“Um, the ecliptic?” she said. Aah! Yes. She as thinking; I was not.<\/p>\n
Astrology, which is part of Paganism, the Occult and the Devil’s Work, is printed on a globe given to children<\/em>? And they don’t leave off Scorpio, just to be polite? The thing about astrology that is so often forgotten (in its usual treatment as a boutique item) is that it’s part of mainstream western thought; it is one of the foundations of such.<\/p>\n
And in this framework, Scorpio is the central issue of existence, if you ask me. That is where humanity is thrown into its seemingly most terrifying struggles: sex, money and death; the root of all power dramas.<\/p>\n
Just to track the symbolism here, definitely a great conversation starter, Scorpio is the sign associated in ancient literature with the private parts<\/em>. It’s also the sign when we celebrate Samhain (pronounced sah-wen<\/em>). That is, Days of the Dead, which are still commemorated today by Halloween; and these always take place at the peak of Scorpio time.<\/p>\n
We know that the link between sex and death is intuitive. The “occult” has known about it forever. But it wasn’t until doing the research for this article<\/strong><\/a> in a Planet Waves series two years ago that I found out the connection. In our DNA, sex and death are functions of one another. In order to have sexual reproduction, we must give up immortality. Sex is directly a privilege of death.<\/p>\n
Not everyone likes this fact. There are many among us who would rather be immortal and asexual.<\/p>\n
