February 4-10, 2008: Sex And The Solar Eclipse
Lust is one of the seven deadly sins, but should it be? The word ‘desire’ means ‘of the father,’ implying that all longing, sexual or otherwise, is divine.
Huh? You mean, all that guilt for nothing?
Yeah, well, moving forward and looking to the heavens this week, we see that there’s a solar eclipse in chilly Aquarius. It takes place on Feb. 6 at 10:44 p.m. EST / Feb. 7 @ 1:44 a.m. PST, and this eclipse-new moon marks the start of 4706, the Chinese New Year. With the year of the (earth) rat, a new Chinese 12-year zodiacal cycle begins.
Since the air sign Aquarius can be cool and detached and earthy Capricorn skews chilly as well (a total of seven out of 10 planets are in those signs now), it’s all the more reason to keep warm and cozy and think about raising your temperature a bit with your PC, laptop, Blackberry or a good old fashioned warm-blooded object of your affection.
Aries: Though breaking up is hard to do, the solar eclipse in your communal 11th house says it’s time to switch online sex partners. Group masturbation is especially exciting but with Mercury still retrograde (through Feb. 18) it’s safer to return to a crowd you once loved and lost rather than introduce yourself to an iffy new bunch. Venus, Jupiter and Pluto in traditional Capricorn at the top of your chart encourages professional advancement by doing it with a dominatrix at work or sleeping with the boss’s girlfriend (as he watches) to earn points. Mars direct in your third house inspires an impromptu “no strings” encounter with a neighbor.
Taurus: Exhibitionism isn’t your typical sexual MO but the solar eclipse tempts you to let it all hang out in full view, with a string of sordid playmates. Neptune, also at the top of your chart, lends a rock-star glamour and magnetism to your aura that you never thought possible. But before making your pubic public, consider the long-term consequences of a YouTube video five or 10 years from now. Some still shots (keep originals/delete the rest) might be the way to go.
Gemini: Transiting Venus in Capricorn, your eighth house of sex promises a daring dalliance with an older, wiser and well-healed woman or cultured man who’s prepared to reward you well for your sexual attention. On the plus side, the sex would be mind-blowing and he or she’d be an asset to your career. But Saturn retrograde says there may be a catch and disengaging may not be so easy. Make sure there isn’t a sign posted anywhere near her pussy/his dick that says “Dive, eat, or suck at your own risk.” On the other hand, living dangerously has always been your first choice.
Cancer: An encounter with a wacky off-the-wall type opens a part of your sexuality you never knew you had. If you ever saw “The Banger Sisters,” you’re the Geoffrey Rush character meeting up with Goldie Hawn after 10 years of little to no action. Or you’re Susan Sarandon coming alive again. Either way, the stars are aligned to assist in this sexual coming-out party of sorts. Experimentation gets your plumbing going again, this time for good. You may meet up with someone from your past who likes to talk before doing it. Listening is a hot aphrodisiac, and you’re so good at it.
Leo: Hey baby, hate to rock your world but it isn’t all about you. The eclipse and Sun/Neptune conjunction in your seventh house of relationship indicates that a partner you thought was a sure thing is about to fly the coup, mostly due to your terminal self-absorption and fascination with building a harem or collecting suitors. So it’s time to decide whether you want to live out the more loyal part of your nature for a while and keep what you’ve got. Truth be told, Leo men love the cock-hardening role of playing Daddy. And the women get wetter/wilder being admired and saying, “So sorry, but no.”
Virgo: Picky no more! 2008 will “go down” as a very busy year for you both romantically and sexually. But for now, the solar eclipse and Sun/Neptune merger in your sixth house of health and routine announces a shake-up in your day-to-day schedule, making it impossible to service more than one sexual interest at a time. It’ll take a few weeks for the dust to settle, but this cooling off/re-evaluation period will help build up your sexual reserves for later use. Stop volunteering for every little extra task (a hand job here, a blow job there, a once a week afternoon fuck - it all adds up) and invest the time in yourself instead.
Libra: Out with the old in with the blue: The solar eclipse in your fifth house of erotic love affairs opens the door wide for a stream of unusual candidates for you to play with. Some of the “creative” types coming your way are inspiring, fascinating, but border-line certifiable so be careful as to who you let in and how much. As an air sign, so much of your sex life is in your head, and that’s fine. But your ruler Venus is now in earthy-brass tacks Capricorn and that will demand some physical manifestation of it. So don’t be shocked when you hear, “Shut up and fuck!”
Scorpio: Super Tuesday indeed! Forewarned is forearmed: Be reminded that cleanliness is next to Godliness. And for the foreseeable future, your sex life is dependent on the welcoming clean energy in your home. The solar eclipse and Sun/Neptune conjunction in your fourth house says that company’s coming (and cumming) and to make them wanna stay the night, you’d better purge home base of all sex ghosts and hobgoblins from the past. The sensitive types you attract can read you, your sheets and your walls. Look out for recording devices that may have been left by a possessive ex.
Sagittarius: As a rule you can talk your way out of anything. Not so right now: The eclipse, Sun/Neptune combo, and Mercury retro in your third house of linguistics says that unless you’re into mime and poetry, the less said the better. Licking, sucking, and kissing are preferable to words. Also, with cloudy Neptune fogging up your windshield be that much more careful on the road and behind the wheel. As a matter of fact, let lovers and guests come and visit YOU for a change.
Capricorn: Cautious to a fault, it’s not like you to have thoughts of running away and joining the circus, or of chucking a long-term relationship for a stint with a stripper or male hooker, but since Pluto entered your sign last week, all bets are off and you hardly know yourself. What’s more, the solar eclipse and Sun/Neptune conjunction in your second house of values will have you rethinking everything including your sexual and romantic identity. Some experimentation may be needed to get to a deeper level of truth. Everyone’s entitled to at least one lost weekend. Just don’t disappear forever.
Aquarius: Be careful. The solar eclipse on the night of Feb. 6/7 could result in frostbite in all the wrong places. Chiron in Aquarius has you in wound-licking mode. How nice it would be if you let someone else lick them for you. The Sun/Neptune meet-up in your sign makes you as porous as a Bounty paper towel, ready to soak up all that you come into contact with. So while you’re at the top of everyone’s “A” list for desirable shtup of the month, you’re vulnerable and susceptible to picking up more than a sniffle, namely STDs. Remote viewing may be the way to go for now.
Pisces: Your sexual ESP is way off the charts and you’re aware of the desires - spoken and imagined - of all those around you. And if you didn’t have so much to do, it might actually be a hoot to get lost in this sensual sea of love and take an extended dip with one or two co-dreamers who interest you the most. But since real life must go on, protect yourself by avoiding seedy environments and energy vampires who drain and give nothing back. On the other hand, if someone is safe, hot, and willing, go for it. He or she will give you an unmistakable signal of availability by week’s end.
