Sexual deviancy and interest in political power both fall under the purview of the Scorpionic and so you will frequently see them occurring in tandem.

Interestingly, people with strong Scorpio placements seem to be overrepresented among both politicians and sexual deviants.

Scorpio is the sign that comes after the autumn equinox in Libra, and is a sign where the increasing darkness is stabilised, dominant, and still subtly rising. It's also a Mars-ruled, feminine, water sign.

Scorpio is forced to deal with the reality of that rising darkness. What is out in the darkness? A lot of scary things that you can't see. Things that might threaten you or those you care about.

As a Mars-ruled sign, Scorpio wants to protect and defend, or even sometimes go on the offensive. But as a feminine sign, it doesn't attack openly like Aries does. It relies on watching and waiting, on gathering intel, on strategizing and waiting for the right moment to strike, on cunning and manipulation and giving your enemies enough rope to hang themselves with.

This nature is well-suited for politics because it involves the kind of subtle power plays that Scorpio excels at and also because politics is ugly. Scorpio isn't afraid to look at the dark underbelly that repulses other signs. Because if you're going to have a good strategy and play to win, then you need to know what's true and what's really out there in the darkness that could harm you. This can get into the realm of paranoia in some, as Scorpio is always on alert for threats and is naturally defensive.

But this also can translate into an interest in sexual deviancy. As Mars' water temple, the passions of Mars get directed into the feminine realm of sex. And that tendency to want to explore darkness comes out in the form of bizarre fetishes and extreme kinks, especially the kind of things that involve power and control, like BDSM.

Scorpio is strongly drawn to power because having power, whether that's over other people or information or circumstances or whatever, means they are less likely to get hurt. If they can control "the darkness", then it works for them instead of for their enemies. At the root of it is always a fear that they might lose control and be at the mercy of external factors. Let's consider Glenn Greenwald who has recently been in the news over the exposure of his sexual deviancy and has had a career in political journalism.

He has Scorpio on his 10th house of career and public reputation. We find Mars there. We also find Venus in the other Mars ruled sign of Aries. Aries is ruling the 3rd house, which, among other things, deals with the dissemination of information to the masses.

This is not a bad signature for success as a journalist, particularly of the nature of investigative journalism that Glenn is known for. That powerful domiciled Mars ruling over his 3rd house but placed on the 10th is a powerful indicator for professional success.

But in the realm of his private life, it tells a different story. Venus, who typically rules love and romance, does not perform very well in the sign of her adversity. And she is disposed by an extremely strong Scorpio Mars, which essentially just means that anything that she wants she has to ask Mars for. So if Venus wants an intimate sexual connection, Mars will give that to her but on his own terms-- and what Mars is able to serve up is going to be Scorpionic in nature. And so we get this very humiliating picture of Glenn engaging in strange sexual power dynamics in his private life.

And unfortunately for him, this connection between Venus and his 3rd house and Mars in his 10th, resulted in his private life being dragged into the public eye in a scandalous way.

Let's talk about this bizarre obsession leftist women have with fantasising about being characters in "A Handmaid's Tale".

Some of this just comes down to main character syndrome and the obsession they have with Hollywood movies, sure.

But let's look a little deeper.

I remember when I was 17, I was taking a college class called "Sex and Gender". In the unit on sexual fantasies, we learned that rape fantasies are actually one of the most common sexual fantasies reported among women. I remember thinking at the time that was a bit weird, because no woman actually wants to be raped, but I have a better understanding of things now.

When we're talking about these leftist women who can't stop thinking of themselves as handmaids in a fictional story, we're basically dealing with a rape fantasy, (combined somewhat with an impregnation fantasy, but they both fit within the same symbolic framework). The left seems to love to parade their fantasies and fetishes in public for some reason and this is an example of that.

Of course, a fantasy is just that. It doesn't mean the person wants to be real. It's just a psychological tool they use for arousal, and in this case, one that is somewhat deviated.

Leaving aside the banal psychological explanations my professor offered, I believe there is a deeper answer.

From a metaphysical and mythological perspective, rape represents the possession of the woman at her ultimate root. What does this mean?

The nature of the feminine is fluid. It is related to the primordial matter (úlē) which contains within it all potentialities. In order for that potential to be actualised, that fluidic nature must be fixed and frozen and given form by the masculine, which brings order to chaos. This "fixing" of the feminine, giving it an actualised form, is what is meant by possession at the ultimate root.

This is reflected in the very act of sexual reproduction in which the male sperm provides the pattern, the DNA, which fertilises the egg (and the symbol of the World Egg is another example of all potentialities), instructing it to develop into a specific individual. Without this input from the sperm, the egg is otherwise just unused potential.

The sperm not only instructs the egg to begin making a new person, but this process "hijacks" a woman's body, causing it to change all its processes in favour of supporting the developing pregnancy. From a purely material perspective, this would seem like the ultimate possession.

For most women, they are not ever going to be individuated enough to experience possession in any other way. The material perspective is all they can know or comprehend. Their experience will be limited to what can be perceived with the physical senses and the visceral, primordial nature of pregnancy is something that most women can innately understand. They aren't ever going to have any concept of anything higher than that and no higher experiences are likely to ever be open to them anyway. Because we're dealing with undifferentiated women who are limited by their senses, it isn't surprising that rape and procreation fantasies would be common.

As a rule, normal and healthy sexual inclinations in women should tend towards a desire to be overwhelmed by the masculine in some capacity, to be given a "fixed form" (because without this, there is no existence at all- creation is the intersection between the masculine"pattern" and the feminine matter).

Almost all normal female sexual fantasies resolve back to this basic desire to be overwhelmed physically, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, and spiritually— the total possession which actualises her potential and gives her "Life" in the metaphysical sense (for neither sex can partake of the higher life without the opposite sex).

With these women who are obsessed with imagining themselves as sex slaves and forced surrogates, we get a somewhat deviant expression of this, because these are not healthy women with a healthy relationship to their own femininity. In and of itself, any fantasy that involves the woman being overwhelmed by the man works well as an expression of a metaphysical truth and healthy sexuality, so why is this expressing in a corrupted way?

These are women who, in a variety of ways, have either rejected their femininity, hate their femininity, attempt to suppress their femininity, fear their femininity, or have somehow perverted their femininity. Ironically, they are, at the same time, enslaved by it. There are any number of reasons why a woman would end up this way, many of them quite sad.

Whatever the case may be, these are overwhelmingly women 1) who aren’t in touch with their feminine side in a conscious and integrated way, and 2) who are often fully in their expression of a “Durga force”, which causes them to be rather unhinged, since they have no stabilising masculine principle either internally or externally to ground and direct that force. (It should not go without mention that cruelty is a quality of the feminine in her Durga element and so it is not surprising that their fantasies take on a sadistic element.)

Because they reject their femininity, it rules them from the shadows as a very toxic and destructive version of femininity. They are slaves to their own expression of chaos. You will not find a mentally healthy woman latching onto this Handmaid’s Tale fantasy, but only neurotic and tainted individuals.

The result is women who both simultaneously fantasise and even crave a “possession”, while also being terrified of it. To be possessed in that way can only happen for a woman who is comfortable within her own femininity and is thus able to embody an “openness” and “receptivity” that is necessary for the kind of “submission” that allows her femininity to become not only fixed, but elevated. (The corrosive waters become the Waters of Life.)

A woman who is closed off to her femininity and indulging in anxiety-ridden fantasies about being forced to be a sex slave is likely to find such an idea repulsive, offensive, or frightening. And yet, the idea of being a handmaid will still occupy much of her psychic space because, at her deepest core, she is still a woman and the feminine nature that she embodies seeks “possession”.

I believe it comes out in such a bizarre expression primarily because it is not a conscious expression on their part. I don’t think they are self-aware enough to navigate past ideologies and traumas in order to examine it and, as I said, they are ruled by this unconsciously because they have actively repressed that part of themselves. It should also be said that repression of this type almost always leads to sexual dysfunction and deviancy.


If you enjoyed this post or if it at least intrigued you, I recommend following up with this article on my Substack:

The truth is, early Christians behaved very much like a woke mob or Islamic extremists.

They demolished, vandalised, or melted down a staggering amount of art. Statues were routinely knocked down, defaced and defiled, torn limb from limb by frenzied fanatics. /1

https://twitter.com/sir_jenky/status/1780634231968002250

The British Museum is home to many reminders of the deliberate damage done by early Christians. The Parthenon Marbles, for example, some of the finest statuary ever produced by Greece, have been smashed, decapitated, and some of it ground into mortar. /2

Aristocrats do not treat their women like pieces of meat in public. Sexualising her publicly invites the lascivious gazes of other men and lowers her esteem in the eyes of everyone, which by extension lowers his. This is pleb behaviour.

It’s not so much a question of “appropriateness”, as it is a signal of one’s class and status. 𝘕𝘰𝘶𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘶 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦 phallic men think showing off their sexual conquests is how they signal power, but true blue bloods know better.

It’s up to you what nature you want to cultivate in your own soul. The upper classes adhere to a certain etiquette and formality. Reputations matter to them in a way they don’t matter to plebs. Violating social protocols is a mark of poor breeding and low character. There are no social situations where formal etiquette permits sexual displays, including ass-grabbing.

The "right wing" men who reject and hate the feminine, in both her lunar and Venusian forms, also elevate the phallic masculine as their ideal of masculinity, while hating the heroic masculine almost as much as they hate the feminine. /1 It makes sense, because the heroic masculine can only arise as the result of a union with the feminine within himself. If one hates and rejects his inner feminine and turns her into the darkest of shadow materials, one has NO hope of ever achieving the highest and most noble form of masculinity. /2

This guy doesn't look ethereal or angelic either. In fact, the entire cast of Rings of Power look like dysgenic modern commoners, with a lifetime of vice and character failings etched into their faces. They all look weak, ugly, miserable, or mean, or some combination thereof.

A thread This guy totally lacks the gravitas of the elves. He's doughy and sickly looking, with beady little eyes that indicate low character. He looks like he's been a basement dweller his entire life.

I know a lot of guys get frustrated by women only wanting to date men who make 6 figures, but judging from this data, $100k is the average bare minimum salary needed to buy a home. And if you can’t afford a home, you can’t afford a family.

It’s little wonder that young couples, often already saddled with a lot of debt, are delaying marriage and children. Meanwhile, the government is more interested in figuring out how to fund foreign wars than solving the housing affordability crisis.
Almost 2/3 of American live in these 50 cities. Because that’s where the majority of the jobs are. If you don’t have a job, you can’t afford a cheap house in a rural area either.

I have also noticed a shift occurring, in which right wing, conservative, or otherwise anti-feminist women are slowly taking feminist-lite positions. They are still totally against feminism and what it represents, but feel the need to start asserting their own sovereignty.

So you want to have an opinion on astrology, but don’t want to sound like an ignoramus?

Here is a thread of recommendations to educate your modern little mind so that you don’t embarrass yourself in front of people who know what they’re talking about. 😜

Hi, Jeff. I don’t call myself trad and never have. I’m a Traditionalist with a capital T, something very far away from “trad”. In this video, I’m explaining what Traditionalism says about the role of women and I’m not telling anybody how to live their lives.

https://twitter.com/jeffyoungershow/status/1649103817613492250

Immature minds can only think in false dichotomies. To many, a woman is either only a feminist or a trad. I’m neither. I reject that modern paradigm wholly and I reject the simplistic labels that come with it.

In the West, due to various processes of post-WW2 subversion, there is a tendency to encourage people to extricate themselves from their family unit as early as possible. Parents even pride themselves on kicking their kids out at 18 to face the "real world" on their own. /1 The result of this is that it causes the life he lives and the relationships he has with various collective organisations, whether it be his friends, school, work, sports, or the state, to become more important and richer than his family life. /2

When people say stuff like “women voted for this”, they sound so stupid.

No one voted for any of these societal problems. They are all the result of organised subversion by wealthy people that no one voted for.

It’s bizarre that anyone still believes voting affects anything. If you want to insist that voting matters, then it’s worth noting that white women are pretty consistently split almost 50-50 in what they vote for. It was, in fact, white women who tipped the scale for Trump.

The right can either welcome the women whose eyes are being opened up the fact that the left never had their backs or they can mock these women and smugly insist they got what they deserved. /1 Either you can show them a patriarchy that protects women or you can show them bitter, butthurt men that make them turn towards a 4th wave feminism. /2

Here’s another thing I hate: divisive rhetoric.

All of the people who complain about "hate"- regardless of what side of the political spectrum, race, etc- never want to engage in a good faith conversation about the legitimate complaints we all have about each other. /1 The hate-obsessed just want to indulge in self-righteous anger. They are miserable people who want everyone else to feel miserable, too. And they all believe that they are unique in their suffering, that no one else's suffering is even worth talking about. /2

When the demand for racism outstrips the supply, you get things like the “National Day of Hate”, where only the alleged victims of hate know about the event, but none of the alleged haters have ever heard of it.

https://twitter.com/Philosophi_Cat/status/1629490909875240961

With more and more groups choosing to identify as victims every day, one really has to wonder why people feel MORE empowered by feeling like perpetual victims. Victimhood is a powerless position, or so we’re told.

It’s interesting to me that masculinity coaching seems to me to be a much bigger thing than femininity coaching. I see tons of men coaching other men and I see some women doing relationship coaching, but I really don’t see women coaching other women in that way. Why is that? It would be interesting to hear from some women on this subject. Many of the comments are suggesting that women don't feel the need for self-improvement, but given that the biggest consumers of therapy services, self-help books, etc are women, I don't know if I agree with that.

Many cases of depression come down to 1) having no sense of agency over your life or 2) having no sense of purpose.

(a thread)

https://twitter.com/essentialmastry/status/1623770734941159424

The second is (relatively) easier to deal with. Purpose comes from having a sense of responsibility in life and a higher guiding principle. These can be acquired through self-discipline and spiritual practice in most cases. (Some exceptions apply.)

Too many people on the right think that tough love is the only way to motivate someone.

We have a whole generation of lost, broken young men who have been told their whole lives that they are worthless.

They don’t need more people telling them to get their act together. /1 They know they need to get their act together. But they don’t know how and they don’t know why it matters enough to try anyway.

What’s the point of getting your life sorted out if you don’t see any purpose to your life? The future looks bleak to these kids. /2

Christians: how essential is it to your religious beliefs that Jesus was an actual historical person? If you obtained satisfactory proof, to your personal standards, that Jesus was not incarnated as a man, could you still hold the rest of your beliefs? Not asking to start a debate. I’ve talked to a few Christians who have said that if Jesus were proven never to have been historical, that would mean their whole religion was “wrong”. I’m wondering how prevalent this belief is because it seems bizarre to me.
