Episode 40: Five of Cups

...in which we brace ourselves for Disappointment and, if that's not enough, Loss in Pleasure.  In this first decan of Scorpio, Mars rules thrice over - governing the decan, the sign (in classical rulership schemes), and the number 5. His fiery ferocity unleashes a searing wind over the watery suit of cups, blasting everything in its path.  The Tower meets Death, and devastation ensues. In this conversation we talk about the phases of death - the violent curtailment, the freeing of the spirit, the new growth that follows.  We consider the five rivers of Hades, the thinning of the veil, and emotional severity.  We consider marriages and legacies, hungry ghosts, mourning, love and loss, fish, pentagrams, and the dire geomantic figure known as Rubeus.  It is a perilous journey! but fear not - we're right there with you all the way.
