Mercury: Scorpio 28*
Jupiter: Scorpio 28* (conjunct Mercury, obviously.)
3H in Gemini, but empty.

I think my fondness for most of these (particular the satire!) is from the wide Sun/Mercury/Jupiter/Pluto conjunction I have. (Sun at Sag 6*.)

It is not good to settle into a set of opinions.
It is a mistake to put forth effort and obtain some
understanding and then stop at that. At first putting forth
great effort to be sure that you have grasped the basics,
then practicing so that they may come to fruition is
something that will never stop for your whole lifetime.
Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that
you have discovered, but simply think, "This is not enough."

Pardon this long one - a note from Lady Caroline Lamb, displaying her quirky Scorpion humour, no doubt...

quote:

---

I have scribbled over a bit of paper without in the least intending it; so, as you profess to like these odd twists of my pen, I shall answer your note with this truly edifying frontierpiece. -

If I were alone to consider my own interest, it is to bear all very gently, be very friendly, say nothing, think nothing, feel nothing; but studying the present very unbecoming French fashion, to join my cousin the ambassador, make love to everyone in power, look askance at those who are not, and climb up that slippery rock from which I chose to throw myself down as in an avalanche or parachute - quite plump; - the only question being into which pond, lake, or chasm I like to rest. But it is not my character, and the torrent will take its course. I go, therefore, off, and you will probably see among the dead, in some newspaper - Died on her voyage to Bonneberga Hague, Lady Caroline Lamb, of the disease called death; her time being come, and she being predestinarian.

"Expect the unexpected." (Current adaptation of Heraclitus's & O. Wilde's original quotes)

"I am - how shall I pursue it - a sort of vagabond of space. I am the point of contact between time and eternity."

'"Why do men fear my coming?"
"You have 10 minutes more of life. After that, what can you give her? Sleep, perhaps?
"And the release of dreams, and beyond that... there are no words by which to tell you."
"But that is death to us. And to her!"
"A word that you've been taught to fear. A symbol of the unknown. Because of that word, you would keep her from me. I would only lead her through the gateway to the life that lies beyond."'

"Then there is a love that casts out fear... and I have found it! Love is greater than illusion and as strong as death!" (Death in "Death Takes a Holiday"-1934)

Most of Rod Serling's opening and closing narrations in the "Twilight Zone" series.

3rd house Scorpio. Pluto in the 3rd aspecting the majority of my chart. Aquarius Sun in the Scorpio duad.
