Well are you hot and bothered yet? We have left loving Libra and have a sense of wanting more? Perhaps your connections weren’t personal or deep enough and you desire to get closer to your partner.

The sign of Scorpio has the symbols of the Scorpion the Snake and the high flying Eagle. However it is termed a water sign! Hmm!!!!!!!..................................... None of the symbols indicates any water!

Refer back to Pisces where I told you that Pisces is mist and fog and gases, Cancer was water and ocean and Scorpio is ice and artesian (underground or internal water). This time of year in the Northern Hemispheres, it is cold, snowy and icy. The frozen mountain tops are the home to the Eagle and melting snow seeps deep into the caves and crevices. However this does not apply to the southern hemisphere where it is hot and sunny. In fact most astrological myths only apply to the northern hemisphere. It is reversed below .

As ice and water are one, and the gases and water are one, so is spirit and matter one.

In both Greek and Hebrew any fluid, air, or ether was called water until organized; then it was wine. Air was called water or the pure sea, viz; Virgin Mar-y. So water is turned into wine.

The Scorpio 8^th house rules sex, death and regeneration. In the old Dutch the 11^th month was called Slagth-maad or slaughter month. It was a time when beasts were slain and salted for the winter. Some of the terms used for this month were: Baal-Zebub, or Lord of flies; King of the Bottomless Pit, Satan of the Hebrews; the very gate of hell; the place of the tormented; Persian Esrael, or Angel of Death; the Angel Abaddon of Revelation and Angel of the Sphinx; The home of the Devil.

Before you start throwing eggs at me, let me explain the thinking of the time! It was considered the Gate of Hell as it was the commencement of the five months of winter with its wet and disagreeable weather. Hence the necessity of fires to keep warm. So the gods of winter were colored red as an imitation of fire and warmth and having dominion over the lower world of dead things. Sexual activity was more likely as the harvest was in and indoor activities took place.

A Babylonian name for Scorpio was Uigur ali, denoting a creature which belongs to and comes up from the underworld. However this refers to the procreative essence during sex. Only one spermatozoa is required for impregnation of the ovum. The rest are ‘slaughtered ‘ every time if a pregnancy does not result. To some cults this was considered unacceptable and that sex was for procreation only. To waste the ‘little fishes’ and let them die was heinous as it caused the body and brain to slowly deteriorate according to the frequency of the act. The highest state of efficiency and evolution was the promise of withholding - “to him that over cometh.” They were determined that the wiles of Venus didn’t steal away their wits!

OK! Now I guess I have to expect rotten tomatoes along with the eggs, as you protest loudly. However stay with me and pay attention to how this all unfolds!

Scorpio’s ruler Pluto, has been allocated with the organs of procreation and conception in both sexes. Scorpio was also called Lugal-tudda, (the thief) and God of Lightening, the giver of fire to man. The sting of the scorpion was likened to the burn of lightning. The electrical fire manifesting in lightning is analogous to the FIRE OF LIFE which leaves the body at the termination of the sexual act. The planet itself was discovered in the 1930's and we saw the beginnings of the Mafia and the underworld. Atomic energy was discovered and the rest is history. Plutonian energy can remove and destroy. All the above indicates Mar’s co-rulership of fire.

Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, is the planet of the miraculous, the defier of odds. It is awe inspiring and can outshine Jupiter in its power. Pluto was the old “God of Riches” before Jupiter came into favor. It is not hard to understand why. Anything valuable to animal man comes from under the earth - root vegetables, oil, metals, gold, diamonds and gems, Uranium etc. Plutonium is under this rulership also. All things that are powerful and sometimes erupt.

Bowels also represent wealth - gold! The bowels of mercy , goodness and justice.???? From this compost heap, sulphur and ash you can be redeemed? Sulphur is a product of brimstone. There is more or less sulphur in all foodstuffs. Eating too much results in an over supply of sulphur, i.e. brimstone. Undigested and fermented food then cause acids and gases. The acid unites with sulphur and causes heat, fire, fever and hence hell, fire and brimstone.

Plutonians can be amoral, virtuous or vicious, saints and sinners, monks or a maniacs, sex addicts or priests. He is the EXTREMIST. Sometimes Plutonian (Scorpio) people can be attacked for being different because of their intensity. He was also known as “Dis Pater,” the richest of all the gods. Pluto can shatter all our defenses - bringing about a raw realization, leaving us naked to truth. The barnacles and crusts (defenses) of life fall away (cell wall collapse.)

The area of the spine under the influence of Scorpio is the coccygeal area having control over the large colon, and the procreative glands. The largest nerve of the body, the great sciatic, rises from the sacral center and sends branches to the sex glands and others to the lower extremities. However there was always a severe warning not to overwork the lower spine for fear of damaging the nerves in this center. A sex act was considered to be robbing the body of precious fluids needed for evolution and longevity.

I know of a man who was so sexually active that he searched for it constantly, worldwide. Eventually the dreaded event happened and he is now wheel-chair bound forever from the paralysis of the nerves of the lower spine.

I knew of another women whose Tantric practice put her in hospital for a week and her lover bent over in great pain for quite some time. We are dealing with powerful energies here that can be misused. The reason being that at the base of the spine the snake-like Kundalini energy can be awakened and sent up the spine for regeneration and evolution if utilized knowledgeably, or it will severely damage the individual . It is a very Sacred practice and not to be taken lightly. The sex act steals energy from the next 5 divisions of the body and the brain - the fountain-head of life. Also at the culmination of the sex act, the heart literally stops beating briefly and it is termed “The Little Death.” Then the let down comes - prostation of the prostate.

In Taurus we mentioned the ‘cock’ and’ Peter’. The cock crows at the break of day to awaken the animal man. Cock in Latin is “Gallus,” a dunghill cock! In Greek it is Kokkyx - a cuckoo! We also use the euphemism for a penis which is also called ‘Peter’ . The cock crows at the approach of the electric sun whose positive rays impregnate all things with new life and energy. So it is with procreation! The cock was sacred to Aesculapius who was called Soter (Savior.) He raised the dead to life. The cock is always connected to the Sun and is magnetic and electric. In fact in Greek its name is ELECTRUM also. So if the clever cock can raise the dead to life - I know a few women who will find this good news! The cock and the planet Mars were subject to Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. Mars is positive and constructive in the first 6 signs, but now that Mars has been brought down by man, it’s more destructive side appears.                                      Minerva (wisdom) can force Mars to stay on the heights.

Mars is co-ruler with Pluto of Scorpio and we now see the red inciting color as opposed to the electric blue in Aries with first contact. The red leaf of fall touched with frost, is a perfect example of the orange red/red of the Scorpio sign. Here Mars gets us raring to go and stirs up anger, jealousy, revenge and war! In Scorpio it is DESIRE whereas in Aries it was ignition and the receiving of the blue cosmic spark. It signifies this dominance in the soul and its procreative function. It ties into the constant rebirth because of its generative nature. Life and Death over and over.

Some form of death is what supports you - as in cells dying.
Lack of death is literally your death! You have to constantly die to live!

The lower principles of the life of illusion, desire and emotion can be overcome by a disciplined soul with knowledge of the higher ecstatic truth . Emotions and desire are active through the contact with matter. Unfortunately ‘knowledge of truth’ is the result of suffering induced by daily experience. This will continue until we cease doing the thing that causes suffering. The desire mind can be the Serpent that draws us to the sense objects. Suffering is what impregnates our being to modify the innate consciousness. The Serpent desires and the Scorpion stings and creates a stupor in the limbs that burns like dry ice until we use wisdom!

To state this in a simpler way. The soul essence is in the blood and is supported by the renewing and dying of the cells on a daily basis, over and over. It is Pluto and Scorpio’s job as guardian of the dead to eliminate the old and create the new. Scorpios have to learn to eliminate, eliminate, eliminate! That is why Scorpio rules the large colon for the elimination of waste products and burning acids from the body. Adam man was the red man made of the red earth. Meaning, minerals, salts and fluids that we consume through our diet and the air we breath.

One of the aspects of Scorpio is the occult, meaning hidden secrets, so in the spirit of the season I am including this comical picture of a witch whose lesson is - don’t pollute the body!

In Scorpio we have another arm of the manifesting cross we started in Taurus, ( the St. Andrew’s cross ) - opposite Scorpio. Nature is provoked by the action of the compliment - creating the crossing (Xing and) and the play of resistence.

The salt for Scorpio is Calcium Sulph or Sulphate of Lime. It is commonly known as Plaster of Paris or Gypsum. The root of this word is gyrate, a circular motion. The word Gypsy came from the same root and their nomadic ways of constantly moving, mirrors the interpretation of this salt as it traverses the body. The word Gyp means to swindle or cheat and when we have a lack of this salt we cheat our bodies of its cooling protection. The word gypsy is related to AEgyptus from which Egypt is derived, meaning - a place of darkness and plagues (the bowels.)

Calcium sulph or ‘gypsum’ is used as a dressing for sweetening soil and is also in the making of plaster casts and stiffening bandages. It is also applied to grape vines to improve the color and qualities of the grapes. The skins are healthier. The same is true of EGG SHELLS

Now we are getting somewhere!!!

Have you ever wondered why your stomach acid doesn’t eat and digest your own stomach? It’s because this salt is necessary to line all the areas of the body in contact with moisture to prevent burning. The eyeballs, the nasal passages, the mouth, throat, the passage way into the stomach, the bladder, in fact all parts contacting moisture must have a certain amount of the salt for protection. Now you can begin to see how Scorpio has control over this kind of internal moisture (water.)

Now you are aware that Calcium Sulph is in the make-up of egg shells, you can perhaps understand how important it is in the walls of the little fish germ cells. These cells are little eggs with a soft shell to protect them. These shells are called casts. When one is very acidic and lacking in this salt the walls collapse and the casts float in the blood stream and eventually cause puss as they deteriorate. So then human egg-shells also become deficient and pregnancy cannot occur.

In the case of Venereal diseases (Venus) the collapsed and toxic shells cannot prevent the illness. Diseases of the prostate and reproductive organs of both sexes, because of the thick, clogged, deteriorating cells, force the body to open fistulas to force the toxins to the surface. ERUPTIONS as boils, pimples and ulcers are a way of casting the dead to the surface. In some cases anaemia occurs as the body is unable to produce the strong red blood cells. The acidic fire can be destructive but a good fire can also burn the dross in a positive sense.

                                       THIS IS THE HELL FIRE OF THE UNDERWORLD.

Here is a picture of Virgin Minerva (wisdom and arts) driving the spawn of vice out of the Garden of Virtue (the intestines)

As we now know that Calcium Sulph is a natural cement, it is no wonder that it was once termed “Potter’s Stone.” The burial ground for paupers criminals and strangers was termed “Potter’s Field” and here is the relationship to death as a result of pauperizing ourselves. We have become criminals to our higher selves. The ancients used funeral urns of alabaster (calcium sulph.) A dead body was sealed in as it was believed that the lime would slowly consume the body. Other yucky symptoms of lack are abscesses of the cornea, ulcers of the eye, discharge of pus from the ear, third stage of a cold, chronic catarrh, ulcerated teeth, swollen gums and cheeks, sore throats, interior ulcers, inflamed bladders, abscess of the prostate or ovaries, venereal diseases, burning soles, festerings, wounds that do not heal, and alimentary canal disturbances. Also stubborn cases of constipation which mean “I do not get, so I do not give” The bowel movement is related to affections.

WELL ARE YOU SICK OF BEING IN HELL YET? NOT SO FAR AWAY IS IT? HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH TESTS OF FIRE?

If you remember back to the earliest signs I told you that HELL is H (Breath) ELL (God), Hell is when God breathed life into you and you were born and separated from the ALL THAT IS. You are already here! Your job in this life is to find your way back to the cosmic realms by knowing yourself and what you need to do to get there! So from the graves, into which we have dug ourselves, with knowledge, we will climb out and be resurrected and redeemed . (See Judgement card in the Tarot)

O.K.! NOW FOR THE BUILD UP TO THE CLIMAX- FROM THE DEPTHS TO THE HEIGHTS! Because Pluto rules the hormones of reproduction and some pleasurable feelings, it is interesting to note that one of the hormones is Oxytocin - the cuddle hormone. Is it beginning to sound better? Oxytocin - the cuddle hormone has the ability to create a bond. The desire to see the object of affection over and over. It is the reason a Mother bonds with her baby, and Fathers’ too. In the bird kingdom nest building and acceptance of the young is because oxytocin is present. We cannot forget the sex hormones which allow us to choose a mate to perpetuate the human race. So how can this be bad? It’s not!

There is no admonition in the Bible that sex was forbidden. In fact we are told to go forth and multiply. Now anything below the solar plexus is the Kingdom of Earth (Caesar’s) and above the Kingdom of Heaven (God’s.) We talked about the extraordinary importance of the Solar Plexus which gives birth to a spiritual seed every month as opposed to the reproductive seed. We are told to obey the command:- “Give one-tenth (tithe) unto the Lord” (Law)  “If I (Jesus, the seed) be lifted up, I will draw all men (semen and oil essence) unto me”

The translation of this is related to the oil (secreted essence) from the female and the little fishes (semen- “seamen”) of the male. One way to raise this oil and egg is by the seed and oil entering the spinal cord and shooting up. You have to get a picture of an old oil lamp that has to be pumped to send the oil up to the wick where it was ignited. (The oil doesn’t leak out the bottom.) The parables and metaphors are of a bodily physical function that insisted on a good quality of oil and semen so that illumination could take place. Your body is charged a fee (Tax) for this. (An amusing metaphor for this is the collection plate in church!) So putting it out in creativity or withholding every tenth time is not such a bad tax is it?

The pine tree mentioned in the Taurus posting, was considered sacred and represented the pineal gland as it was shaped like a pine cone and was an upper penis. The pineal is filled with cells mixed with calcareous (lime) matter and called brain sand (acervulus cerebri.) The pineal gland becomes hard like a rock when the “brain sand,” is manufactured from ecstacy. When no tithes (pleasure) to the brain are returned, the pineal body is flabby and pasty.

Flabby and pasty does not sound very attractive does it people?

“A wise man built his house on a rock”

Do we lack grit?

Sacred Sex wasn’t the only way to produce the superior energetic essence. There are cells in the brain called Glia cells. These cells are like a glue around neurons. It has been stated that these cells can only be manufactured by ecstatic and blissful experience. This can be the joy of achievement, an appreciation of a beautiful sunset or the moving crescendo of an orchestra. Perhaps for you it is the arms of your child around your neck or an intimate glance from your lover. Then again it could be winning the super bowl! So to “glow” or to be in “Glory,” you must continue to have ecstatic highs! This is the love energy generated in Leo!

Yes I like it!                      All you need is Love!

It was reported that Einstein’s brain was examined after death to understand his brilliance. All that they identified was an abundance of Glia cells. This is a form of LOVE - to Evolve (the word contains love!) ...........................Reverse DEVIL and you get LIVED!

Aleister Crowley, the Black Magician, did the opposite of upward evolution . He indulged in the sex act over and over and over to a point of complete exhaustion to enable him to consciously conjure up negatives and lower energy demons for his use and direction.

A symbolic bathing and soaking, called Baptism, of the seed is to bring about a splitting apart, a revealing, to become naked and clean. As the seeds are soaked by the spring rain after planting, so to are your seeds soaked. From the sacral (sacred) part of the spine called the cauda equina, the secret secreted substance enters the spinal column to shoot up to heaven (upper brain) to the ‘fountain of life.’ Here is the “Secret place of the Most High." It is a recirculating system.

There is a story of an Eagle who built a nest on a very tall pillar (spine). In one story he built the nest from cinnamon, (sins of the mind) and then when he was ready he set it afire (ignited the oil.) He immolated himself (ego). Out of the ashes (carbon, which is the basis of the diamond - the White Stone) rose the Phoenix bird with a rainbow crown of many colors (glittering aura.)

Ecstacy shoots up the spine, through the heart and out the door of Brahma (crown) in a flash of colored lights. This is the halo of the saints and the sign of the evolved man. Here is the most positive Scorpio. They have penetrating understanding, unmoved by emotional weakness, intolerant of the non-courageous. They are generous and protective of those who are worthy. They can soar to impossible heights once they overcome their extremist need to test their martial ability to survive.

There are two baptisms, as there are two Christs (twins). One is the animal sexual culmination and the other is the spiritual baptized substance that vibrates the pineal to cause the “light in the chamber” and the “whole body filled with light.” (Limelight) From the pineal gland came the WHITE STONE (rock) supported and bathed by the oozing female pituitary. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High (cerebellum) shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (cerebrum).” The Aries cereal blue seed resides with Brahma the most high.

As the sexual energy and the creative energy are from the same source, then a really great high would be creative sacred sex. We are animals and a lusty enjoyment in the Bacchanalian style appeals to many. However the secret thread is telling us that there is an even greater pleasure awaiting us. It requires patient ritual, loyal adoration of the clean sweat smelling partner. All the animal senses must be involved, a place prepared, wine, poetry and song all ready as the wooing begins. You then adore the God or Goddess in your partner. One must have the compliment for the magic between you to work and illuminate you! Think off a lasting and blissful union of the soul with God in sexual terms, like the mystics. You will experience the soul in rapture at having arrived at the height of perfection! BLISS!

You may have your regular sex and boast of your conquests and prowess and be adored by many. Also you may consider occult energy for power and control as in tyrannical secret societies.

However, perhaps you are now ready for the Sacred and Secret ritual that is private, discreet and not discussed, for greater pleasure, evolution, joy, glory and bliss.

Sshh...Sshh!.....................................................................................................Men at work!

Next month, Sagittarius and December where we will find either the evolved man or the horses’ ass! I will uncover the third secret of the inner chamber.
