I love the movie In The Realm Of The Senses and I love this still from the movie. Look at how she’s cradling him. Look at her expression; even her face appears to be holding on for dear life. And his? Kind of bemused, right? Like.. he gets it, he understands her. It’s sweet. And deep. He’s allowing her (sexual) expression, making room for it. There is tenderness in this photo. The movie was controversial upon release, based on a true story; you can Google all that if you’re interested. But this movie, this still, came to mind because I’ve got the 8th House on my mind.
What is sex? Union with the other. And with God, if you’ve got a 12th House thing going on. I titled this post I Came Here For The Sex because I thought it was cute but also because I believe it’s true. How do I know this? Chiron in my 8th shows the wound that must be healed but can’t be healed and thus the terrible magnificent drive is born. And my First House Pluto shows the obsession with the self, the desire for control over the self, which shoots its power energy over to the 7th House, to the other. Can’t do it alone, babe. Needs Help.
Where’s your Chiron? What can’t you heal?
It is easy to choose wrongly, to choose the wrong person, people, to be intimate with. It kind of makes the world go round, how prevalent it is, and how sad that is. And I do believe it’s different for men than for women. A woman is entered and a man (the masculine principle) does the entering. Her body, closed, opens. All of this matters; it’s not metaphorical.
So, a body, a soul, is entered, and voila! There is life. And I don’t necessarily mean a baby… I mean LIFE. LIFE FORCE by which I mean… the pleasure and the intimacy with another that God wants you to have. Speaking of God, I must sound like a religious nut or something, but if you get what I’m saying… then you get what I’m saying, and I don’t need to explain a thing. But I’ll keep trying anyway, in my own elliptical Neptune in the 3rd House way. Which, in fact, trines my natal Mars. Okay. What I’m trying to say is this: to fuck is divine.
The Kabbalists say that even an orgasm that does not result in a child creates an angel, creates energy. So choose wisely.

Nice to ‘see’ you too Aliza! I had wondered where you went till I saw your blog mentioned on Dixie’s blog.
Prolific writer you are, my Moon/Pluto trine enjoys the deep mental forays. 🙂
Cheerio!
Thanks, JinJan 🙂 Yes, I wanted to start my own thing and do readings so here I am 🙂 Happy you are enjoyiing!
I rarely feel understood. I say the wrong thing and either am misunderstood or alienate others. I am a prolific writer (of journals) but I am a mute.
I cannot find my “tribe”.
Just spent the last 10 years in a horrible, hurtful and unclear (which I interpreted as oppressive) situation with my siblings. (transit Neptune in 3rd, anyone?)
I have been told I am a good listener and help others communicate and be heard. Yet I’ve spent a life time without a voice.
Sorry for you, I hang out here now. 🙂 None of my friends are interested in astrology. Boo-hoo, poor me! Whine, whine, etc. 🙂
Anita, I’m glad you are here!
Thank you, MoonPluto. That means a lot!
I was going to complain about my 3rd house Aquarius Chiron, but instead I will just say thanks, MP!
You can totally complain, Anita 🙂 Your complaints are welcome lol Give us some insight into your Chiron placement

Hi MoonPluto! Been browsing your blog, love your perspective. This entire post resonates, we have very similar placements: Chiron 8H, Pluto 1H, Neptune 3H, plus I have a packed 12th house. I’ll be 39 this year and I’m ‘finally’ figuring out my needs. No regrets, the time was needed.
Thanks for this post, it’s a reminder that choosing wisely is paramount in the next half of my life.
Hi Jinjan, nice to see you 🙂
Thank you for reading and commenting
..so..my eyes welled. Wasn’t expecting that coming from a thought about coming. Kabbalah tugs at my strings. So do children and crotch volcanoes. Ugh. This apricot ale isn’t helping either.
You asked in a prior post which Cancer I was speaking of, if there were another, and if he was local. I lost track too, MP. He’s a few states away, in this country and the only active Cancer in my world actually.
You’re right, from your other post, Virgos and Cancers are kinda summed up then left to play out their descriptions. Not cool. Your thoughts are a tall glass of moon-juice ; ) flowing, connected and beaming. Ahh..
Yay, making readers’ eyes well up lol 🙂 But seriously, love your comments, EW.
Apricot ale lol
“Moon-juice” – love it!
Okay, just had a feeling (remembered) he wasn’t local as in *right there*
