From Sexual Harassment to Sexual Revolution
“Swarm” by Charlie Lemay.
Dear Friend and Reader:
When I went onto the Daily News website and saw a photo of Al Franken groping Leeann Tweeden, wearing a big grin on his face, first I felt disgusted, then I thought: the emotional plague.
That’s how Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), a forgotten pioneer of psychiatry and psychology, described someone who, when shut down in early childhood, limps through life because his or her “natural, self-regulatory life manifestations have been suppressed.”
“Undulating” by Charlie Lemay.
He described it as a plague. Bigger than an epidemic. Bigger than a pandemic. Out of control. Wide-scale enough to lead to the rise of fascism in the 1930s, and in the 21st century.
People who are stricken with the emotional plague move through life as zombies, out of touch with their bodies and their environment. They rarely consider their potential, much less scratch the surface.
When you look at people and wonder what the heck is wrong with them, or why they’re so dense and out of it, it’s probably the emotional plague. When you wonder why you cannot dial in your own passion, or wonder where your curiosity went, consider this possibility. If you are looking for meaning in your life, your work and your relationships, consider this possibility.

If Your Birthday is Nov. 17
(The Day of the Bridge) | Scorpio Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The Beatles ended their career saying “the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Your birthday chart is reminding you to be generous, both financially and emotionally. This will remind you how good your life is, and never to take for granted the happiness and the privileges that you have. Let your life be a shining example to others.
Written in the Planets
Today the asteroid Psyche joins asteroid Vesta in the first degree of Scorpio. If you feel plagued with doubts that humanity will ever heal its collective wounds around sexuality and sexual power, you’re not alone. And while such healing might take longer than the average human being can conceive of intellectually, that does not mean it’s not worth pursuing on the individual level (indeed, it may be essential). If Vesta serves as a reminder to devote yourself to going as deep as you need to (or are able to), Psyche is a reminder that if you can recognize the need to heal something within yourself, it is in fact possible. A sextile between Mercury in Sagittarius and Mars in Libra is energizing your ability to stand up for what you believe in — especially any social justice cause that serves the highest good of humanity.
