Aries 6° (March 26)

Finally dug into the new agreement and had a phoner with S which was great, pinpointing exactly what needs to be done and when.

Working, once again, along binary lines, Nextrology is comprised of twenty-four chapters, one for each of so-called sex signs—Aries Man, Aries Woman, Taurus Man, Taurus Woman…and so on. As I’ve often been asked since the writing of Sextrology: how do I account for trans people and gender fluidity? The simple answer is that trans men are men and trans women are women, so it’s up the individual of a certain sign to decide with which “sex sign” they identify. And if a person is gender fluid, I recommend reading both the man and woman chapters of their sign—to be honest, I recommend everyone read both chapters of their sign in any case as gender is fluid for all of us to some degree, and there may be elements of self that ring true in the chapter pertaining to one’s so-called opposite sex sign. Which brings us to the larger question: how to read this book? 

In the case of Sextrology, readers of course beeline to their own chapter because, let’s face it, there is an inherent narcissism to popular astrology wherein one can indulge their desire for self-discovery and revelation, not least so on the subject of one’s own sexuality. Secondly, Sextrology has voyeuristic appeal, inviting deep dives into the psyches of partners, would-be love interests and even friends, who might read bits from the book aloud to one another, say as fodder for cheeky dinner-party fun. Similarly, albeit more thoughtfully, the reader of Nextrology will read and re-read their chapter first, making real or mental notes of the prescriptive matter, especially, practicing any exercises and performing any experiments suggested in the text. Likewise, Nextrology then becomes a reference manual of sorts for sorting out other people in your life born under whichever sign, whether, too, just for giggles over dessert and digestifs or, taken more seriously, as a go-to guide for helping loved ones, as well as yourself, gain insight, from my original astrological perspective, into core strengths, motivations and senses of purpose requiring bolstering, as well as limiting thoughts, habits and recurring patterns needing perishing.

Typos happen. I don’t have a proofreader. And I like to just write, post and go! Copyright 2022 Wheel Atelier Inc. All Rights Reserved.
