(He did, however, make the titillating remark, &#8220;Let&#8217;s talk about where true Revolution COMES from.&#8221;) The blog makes this very comparison between the culmination of the cardinal grand cross this weekend and the chart for a particular woman&#8217;s first orgasm. The piece is called <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.astrococktail.com\/petitemort.html\">Le Petit Morte&#8230; and the cardinal grand cross<\/a><\/strong> and was written by John Townley on his site Astro Cocktail.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fun, short, sexy piece and it makes for a vivid illustration of the build-contract-build-release process that sexual, creative and cosmic energies (wait &#8212; is that redundant?) cycle through. The post at the link above includes the charts for both the inaugural orgasm and this weekend&#8217;s astrology for side-by-side comparison (if that&#8217;s not your favorite position, I&#8217;m afraid you&#8217;re own your own&#8230; ). I for one would love to hear what else our esteemed readers bring to this interpretation.
