If breasts could cause an earthquake...photo by Eric Francis, Blue Studio - Brussels.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today women around the world are baring their cleavage for Boobquake<\/strong><\/a>, a Facebook movement which is teating or rather testing the theory of that wacky Iranian cleric that exposure of breasts and cleavage causes earthquakes. I guess it will be good to test this hypothesis once and for all, though remember — the scientific method requires repeated demonstration that something is true. Boobquake was created by American scientist Jen McCreight<\/a><\/strong> as a way of exposing the evidence either way. We are approaching a Full Moon with two planets in Taurus; I would give that a 3 on a scale of 10 for earthquake potential (Full Moon gets one point, Sun in an Earth sign gets another point, Mercury retrograde conjunct the Sun gets the third point. But I am not usually that organized.)<\/p>\n

However, if we’re looking for theme: there is an outer planet aspect I haven’t mentioned (Tracy wrote in reminding me of this), between two of the most stand-out discoveries beyond Pluto: Varuna (discovered in 2000) and Eris (discovered 2003-2005), which are in a square aspect. Eris addresses core feminine themes<\/em>, and Varuna is the equalizer<\/em>. This is a long square, going on from late 2009 through 2012<\/strong><\/a>. This one is worth at least three good conversations on Planet Waves, a couple of Len Wallick blogs and a Friday edition.<\/p>\n

As for the effects of breasts: remember that there is a grain of truth behind most lies, and this one certainly qualifies. The earthquake caused by breasts is in the emotions of many men (and women). Most men cannot handle the sexual power of women; most don’t feel equal to it; most don’t feel worthy of it. For many, the only responses many see are blame, rage and repression; taking charge; taking possession. So if you’re wondering why so many men seem to have a need to hold down the sexual strength of women, here is a theory.<\/p>\n

Yet why many women would play the same game is an interesting question, and one possibility is that they, too, feel a boobquake, but a different kind: witnessing the erotic potential of their sisters, they notice something move inside them that they’re not quite ready or willing to admit; something that stirs up guilt; and the sense of loss of their own power, confronted by one who is willing to be open. The opposite of this is some shade of absolute tolerance, welcoming, embrace or surrender to the hot current of energy that runs through themselves and the core of all humanity.<\/p>\n

Anyway — the photo above is my contribution to Boobquake, with gratitude to my model, Marie, photographed in Brussels in 2007. Here is my favorite of the day — click, but if you’re at work, this is a nudity warning<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
