A guide for women who think the Age of Aquarius
By Muriel Anderson
I am a single peri-menopausal searching for her soul mate. I need help, support seriously.
I grew up in a household that consists mainly of women. I like to refer to it as the Brotherhood. This family had a monthly ritual. When I say that the ritual that evokes all sorts of weird images that might be training people in a hand circle, singing and wearing ceremonial headgear. Indeed, the only head gear that was witnessed my sisters 3 rolls in large putting overhead every night, the rest of her hair was wrapped around his head tightly secured. The crest on his head, recalled looked like a giraffe with potholes. I slept well every night for years. Straight hair is a definite priority. Nothing could stop the early 70's fashion expert. When I think of all the world was really obsessed with his hair and how they were. The mode was the end all be all, in this house. The ritual involved an intense page turning enthusiasm throughout the Cosmopolitan month. I would look to the goddess bright cleavage on the cover in dismay. This was the standard he had to accomplish? I mean I thought I was a lanky, bespectacled geek. I thought I was too tall, too silly, let's call things by their name, ugly. I thought it was much easier to stay ugly. I tended to choose the path of least resistance. The sacrifice made in the name of beauty seems to out weigh the returns in my opinion. The magazine had fascinated for what seemed like hours. Why?
And then it happened.
It was a cold January afternoon. I was bored, and the French coffee table province, the Venusian plastic 'Empress caught my attention. She calls me, penetrating gaze through the eyes densely covered masquerade and perfectly coiffed hair. It must have taken hours for her to get that way. I did consider what the original painting looked like. Maybe it was an opportunity for transformation possible? Now this made me curious. I picked precariously trying to pseudo-journalistic and placed it on my lap. I opened the page. It was an ad perfume. What they found was a photo of a woman in the arms of some more than likely that the model gay, her head thrown back and the face of pure happiness. Quickly I dropped the magazine and threw it down. Christ. Do you have perfume really have such power? Converting a clearly gay man to heterosexuality? Suddenly I felt the need for alcohol. I was 14. When I got up I realized that something had fallen from the magazine, a small pink booklet Linda Sun Goodman Sign Guide 1971. Sun signs? Astrology?
At the time my knowledge of astrology was limited to reading the blurbs newspapers in the local newspaper. Silly advice that never really made sense too, never seemed to be very relevant to my life. What place, my interest was sign of the royal symbols. I was a scorpion. My symbol was a desert crawler creepy murderer exoskeleton. Great. No wonder that she had few friends. Why do I have to be that? I wanted to be the majestic lion, the beautiful virgin holding the shafts of wheat, even the centaur archer, the twins ... but nooo .... I had to be something nasty little black with a stinger. I continued to read the description of my sun sign. Scorpios, sex, love, lots and lots of sex to who lived and breathed sex. The last time I checked the local paper the last person who lived and breathed the sex 5 -10 in the pen. This was no good news received.
This was my first introduction to astrology, although I consider myself a realist, I was also very introspective and desperately wanted to understand myself and others. Astrology was the first step in this direction. That was not acceptable in my circle, or even slightly understood only served to quench my individualistic Uranus rebellious heart.
