Have you been feeling more intensely sexual lately?
This may be because of Lilith, both Mean and True, Dark Goddesses of women’s independence and sexuality are both within one degree at 25-26 degrees LIBRA.
THE SUN is at 25-26 degrees ARIES opposite to LILITH. The LIGHT And DARK Forces are both with us. This is good, it helps bring balance to an erotically charged time. As the Sun is also conjunct to PRIAPUS, the ancient God of very erotic sexual love. Priapus is a point of perigee in the moon’s orbit and he is always Lilith’s opposite side or shadow. Lilith is defined as the Moon’s apogee, the most distant point on its elliptical orbit of the Earth, and Priapus is astronomically opposite – the perigee or closest point to the Earth.
Lilith’s energy is primarily sexual. The Ancient Goddesses took many lovers as that was her prerogative. We now know that it’s also a biological necessity. There were those who stayed in pairs for life before the Patriarchy institution of marriage. Women are multi-orgasmic unlike men. The Patriarchal religion threw Lilith out symbolically and made her into a demon or vampire as a psychological metaphor because they were using sexuality as a means to control women and men. This came from a deep-seated felt powerlessness and inferiority complex from men compared to women and the Great Mother. This explains Lillith’s place as the projection of men’s own fears of their own, virility and self-worth projected negatively onto the Feminine. It’s always the woman’s fault.
PRIAPUS , was an ancient male phallic God of virility and fertility who was also protector of gardens, vineyards and orchards. Priapus’ parents were Dionysus, God of sex , wine and intoxication and Aphrodite/Venus Goddess of love. Nice family.
His enormous genitals ensured good luck and fortune and he was a patron to all who were in need of luck, especially men and women searching for sexual satisfaction or fuck luck- sorry I couldn’t resist. Yet he was rejected by women because his penis was too huge. Size matters negatively as well. He also is associated somewhat with homosexuality. He is LILITH’S literal shadow. PRIAPUS is Lilith’s Patriarchal projection mirrored back on themselves, a repressed sexuality too, or fear of men’s erotic sexuality.
LILITH PRIAPUS
Priapus conjunct the SUN can also symbolize the healing, positive, masculine erotic sexuality which welcomes Lilith and all women {and men} to be free to express themselves. This SUN/Priapus conjunction in ARIES opposite to Lilith April 14 and 15th in LIBRA brings repressed sexuality out into the light. It brings the potential of healing the split in the “marriage basket.”
Priapus can bring out a healthy enjoyment of both parties sexuality through a positive male expression when in balance and harmony by honoring Lilith by fulfilling her sexual expression first. A woman who is sexually fulfilled showers a man with amrita, translated as SOMA or nectar of the Gods or rather Goddesses. This nectar that a woman gives off from a place of sexual bliss mixed with her menstrual blood is the mystical Fountain of Youth, and sacred sacred elixir of immortality. The masculine must function in service to the feminine first not to his own pleasure or ego to reach nirvana.
MANTAK CHIA, the oriental and Buddhist traditions teach men how to retain their semen and not to orgasm during sex. This is tantric sexuality. This is a healthy expression of Priapic energy.
As MARS, the planet of Sex, energy and drive is slowing down to turn RETROGRADE April 17 at 8+ degrees SAGITTARIUS – June 29 where it stops at 23 degrees SCORPIO on the heels of this powerful opposition it bodes well for a change in the sexual weather, for a change in our most intimate relationships and positions. It means reversing, revealing, renewing, reviewing, re-doing, rewriting sexual politics.
Lilith of course refused the Missionary position, she refused to be subordinate to Adam. Taking the planetary “as above, so below” lesson.
See this MARS Retrograde as a sexual initiation. I was taught about indigenous Native American societies which were similar to Polynesian and Aboriginal societies where sex is totally natural, with no taboos, inhibitions or shame. Once tribal members reached puberty they would be taken to a “Fire Man” or “Fire woman” who had a very respected place in the society whose job it was to teach the young person about their own sexuality, and how to please the other, so that they would have experience knowledge and respect for the other sex, and this was done over time. Use this Mars Retrograde to go back to the beginning as if you were a scared horny virgin teen and have beginners mind about sex.
Get yourself back to the Garden and insert yourself and your lover as ADAM and LILITH. Rewind this story before the patriarchal propaganda. Be whole, open joyous, natural, ready to devote yourself to your female lover whole heartedly. The natural order has given women the multi-orgasmic equipment for a Divine reason. Explore it, discover it. The key is for the masculine to totally honor the goddess, the DIVINE feminine so that she may reward him with her love, her desire, her energy and her gifts.
For some of you this may be perfectly natural and normal. For many of you. ??. Experiment be open.
As with all Mars Retrograde energies which occur only once every two years. The sex drive will be lower and can be frustrated and repressed. Men, especially should use this time to rediscover their natural energy in all things, work, play, passion.
For your knowledge. The U.S.’s Natal PROGRESSED MARS turned Retrograde on July, 19, 2006 at 18+ degrees of LIBRA in AMERICA’S 10th house of worldly fame.
MARS will be RETROGRADE in the U. S. Natal Chart until May 9, 2086 when MARS stations at zero degrees LIBRA ! That’s 80 years of America’s energies being repressed, slowed down, internally at war instead of externally. NOTE That PLUTO is Squaring that Retrograde Mars now still at 18 degrees LIBRA. This symbolizes a breakdown of american’s soul and its power structure, its energy.
I peeked ahead to look at the Progressions and transits for ELECTION DAY NOvember 8 2016 and wow.
So let me know what you think about this LILITH PRIAPUS MARS RETROGRADE?
