POO* Si, Wedhsd*Y, -October 201h, .1971, WHtTBV FRE EP s k * AS ISEE by Astrologer Ed Cheethau Continuing on with our discussion of I ast issue, what might be called 'the mating of the signs', it used to be considered that a girl who wore a dress, would meet a boy wearing p an ts. Once they were attracted to each other, that was ai I that was nec- e s s ary for the fine pursuit of mar- riage. Today, one sometimes finds it a probl1 em to teli female from male, since women have taken to the wear- i n g of pants, and males have begun to c om pete with females to see who can grow the biggest mop o f hair on the head. Influence & fashion W h a t is the i nfî1 uence causing these changes to take place in human nature? It i s generally accepted that an- cient astrologers considered Saturn o r Satan to be the outermost planet i n our solar system, and as such, even with ail their skill, they were I i mi ted to the relations of the sun and moon and the five planets, Mer- cury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Sat- urn, thekey instruments of influence inpeople's lives. Theywere also, no doubt, the sources of Shakespeare's seven ages of man. Iiscovery of a' 'weMalet D u r 1 n g the eighteenth century, Il however, the astronomer, Herschel d i s cover e d the planet "Uranus", which is the planet of astrology, in- ven tions, sudden events, strokes, paralysis etc. Uranus is the planet which might be regarded in my opin- ion as "the Will of God". T h i s di scovery of Uranus began the age of industrial revolution, as if one were given a key to a Pan- d o r a's b o x , as I recal 1 seeing the fi rst ai rplane in 1910. It was con- structed of bamboo poles and canvas, and probably flew at 40 to 50 miles p e r h o u r. Autos were few and far be tween in tho se days. Compare .these facts with those of today, the numbers of cars and the speed of airplanes. Travel which literally t ook months to c o v er, can now be covered in just a few short hours. Then in 1846, astronomers obser- ved the planet "Neptune", which is whatmight be termed the "spiritual " pI a n et, h a v i ng much affect on the physic or unseen part of man. So we now have psychiatrists who seek to f i n d causes of human problems and a i Iments, which physicians are un- able to locate, thus proving that many of our sicknesses and ailments are caused by our thinking and feelings. T h i s is k n o wn as p s y chomatic treatment. Neptune also has much influence over welfare of people and the soci- al istic movements of today. Neptune is said to rule the sign of "Pisces", U r a n u s b eing the ruler of Aquar- ius. E WNByBRR M 4KA, "What's the matter with you?" my friend Bob asked. "You look sick. " "It's Kishka", i said. "What the heck is a Kishka?" he asked. "Where do you buy it?" "Kishka is not an it, Kishka is a she", I explained. "You ol d devil you, " Bob gr inned. "I don't k n o w w h a t happened to me, " I sa i d, "but from the moment i laid eyes on her, I knew there was just no one like her anywhere in the world. " "What does the littie woman say about ail1 th i s, or does she know yet ? " "She knows, and she has plenty to say, " I moaned. "What's s h e 1 i ke?", Bob asked excitedly. "She's out of this world. She's beautiful, she'scuteandon top of ail that, she's bad. " "Oh boy, " said Bob rubbing his hands. "Yeah, you know, she sat on my lap the very first night I met her. " "Go on, go on,I" Bob urged. "1 was at this house talking with these people, when she entered the room. Alleyeswere focused on her. She just stood there in the doorway with her head at a saucy angle, her long legs planted firmly, and gave me the eye", i recounted. "Hol y smokes, "E3obpurred, "then what ? " "She came across the room tow- a rd s me. Even her walk got me, " I confessed. "l'il admit that i'm not one to by- pass a pretty figure or a se2<y walk, but nothing like that ever happened to me,I" Bob said. "It never happened to me either. In f a c t , b e f ore this, I never paid much attention to them, " I said. "How is itaill going to work out?" Bob asked, "Do you think she really cares for you?" "She cares for me alright, " I said. "You should see the way she looks when i walk into the house. " "T h e ho use? " BEob cried. "You mean, she's. . . .i" "Yes, she's moved in with us," I announced. IWhat about the neighbours, or do they know yet?I" Bob asked. "1 don'It think they do, " I admit- ted. "She hasn't gone outside much, except for a few minutes late in the evening. " "This shakes me up, " Bob said. "Alittleflirtation for a married man is bad enough, but when it cornes to this sort of thing... well I just don't know. " "The problem is, she demands so much attention. When 1 just sit down to read the paper, she's al 1 over me. Whenl1 goto the bedroom, she's right after me. " "Holy catfish!" Bob exploded. "Shenuzzles up to me. Her fine, blondhair smells so nice, " I cooed. "If 1 i g no re her, she bites me, -not hard you understand. " Bob sat rubbing his forehead. "W ha t d o e s your wife say ?"he asked. "She gets put off with Kishka,I" i admitted. "Small wonder , Ican imagine w h a t my w i fe would be like, Il Bob shuddered. "She'll get used to it in time, " I said. "After all, Kishka must be the m o s t b e a u tiful Siamese cat in the world. " "A cat ?, a darned cat! ", Bob yel- led. He got up and turned to me glaring. "I t h in k. ...i think. . yes, I hate y ou," he gr o wled, and stalked off towards home. letter o the editor box 206F w hitb B B * ay 1011 E E Later inthe eariy1930's, still another planet was discovered. This p i a ne t , lip1 utoi", which is said to rule Scorpio, has con- siderable influence over large scale ven tures, unions, taxes, estates, sex organs and the gall bladder. In an c ient mythology, Pluto was the god who after death, guided the s oul1 across the River Styx to face judgement. Thus, as thi s sol ar system of ours m o v e s t h r o ugh space, we become aware of other planets, which expand our interests and activities, such as one might expect, should he wander over the border into another country w h e r e different customs and lang- uages may be discovered. So Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, death, un i ons, sex organs, pollution etc. is d r a w i n g o u r attention to these matters, so women who were through- ou t the a ge s considered as beings whose chief function was to p r opagate the human race, are now forming unions known as the "Wom- ens' Liberation Movement, and now tak i ng pills to prevent the birth of children, which many women regard as chains of slavery. Many are even advocati ng ab- ortions, which is the death aspect of Pluto, thus the purpose of marriage is I o s ing much of it's sacredness , the wording of whidh could now be changed to Till divorce do us part'. Song writers will next be forming a un ion (Pluto) to protest, as they will no longer be able to write songs about 'that wonderful mother of mine'.
