A reason to read

Whenever I opened a new book, regardless of its subject matter or genre, I always hoped it would reveal at last the truth that would illuminate my life and fill me with insight; I longed to discover that mystical something which would bestow on me what I can only call spiritual poise. I expect that sounds quite laughable to you, but it was ( is) the case: from every book I pined to receive the blessing of equilibrium. How empty that must sound, a sign of how empty I was left at the end of each quest. I was a permanent failure in the search for enlightenment, forever glued to the lowest rung, forever peering upwards into a clouded sky.

Bulls and Humans

Minotaur

How is your Greek mythology? I am sure you won't be insulted if I refresh your memory. All you have to know is that the Minotaur was a monstrous creature with a bull's head and a human body. His mother was married to Minos, the kind of Crete, but she fell in love with a white bull - don't ask- and by means of disguising herself inside a hollow wooden cow especially made for the purpose she succeeded in seducing the brute. In due course ( how long to gestate a monster?) she gave birth to the Minotaur ( It's a little Minotaur). His stepfather, the king of Crete , was so horrified by the bull bastard his wife presented to him that he arranged for the freak to be imprisoned in an inescapable labyrinth. Here, in secrecy and darkness, the misshape grew into a living metaphor: a man with all the strength and savagery of a beast; a man with a bull's mind in his horny head. He became a monster and his appetites were suitably monstrous. Every nine years the city of Athens was required to send a tribute to King Minos, seven youths and seven maidens who were sacrificed to the Minotaur trapped in the black heart of his puzzle - prison. The myth is silent on what the monster actually did with these virgins, but once they had been thrust into his liar they were never seen again.

Mars in Scorpio

Your energies are an almost tangible force emanating from you in a sort of aura; you make yourself felt wherever you are; and can genuinely build up or tear fown another person by what you think of him. This is because your instincts are so powerful that you show in movement,action and tone what you are inwardly believing and you are nearly as effective in silence as in speech.

Venus in Pisces

Women with Venus in Pisces are receptive and yielding to other's wills and desires. They are not particularly sexual since the physical exchange is a channel for romantic and emotional feelings. The fact that many are not spontaneously sensual in a physical way is one reason why they like mind altering substances that allow them to get into their bodies and their senses.

" For years I was an easy lay. I liked how it enabled me to quickly enter into emotionally deeper rapport at the kind of level people don't usually reveal."
