There’s not much good news about. The nightly television news bulletin often seems like a trip to hell. Don’t blame the planets. Human actors sure know how to behave badly. People hate each other for their gender, ethnicity, skin color, sexuality, political persuasion and/or religious beliefs. The political arena is a bullfight. Ferocious partisanship, division and polarization sap power.
Some countries are lawless and disordered. Authoritarian regimes deprive their citizens of basic human rights. Violence of all kinds is a scourge. Animals aren’t safe from human cruelty. Conflict causes death, destruction and suffering. So do extreme weather events. Aquarian Age technology provides a real-time sharing experience. News websites provide videos of the latest tragedies.
The obsessive reporting of death events and the number of people killed is explained by Pluto’s co-rulership of Scorpio and its alliance with house 8 (death) in a natural birth chart.
In response to the non-stop reporting of discord your demand for pleasure, aided by shorter working hours and labor-saving devices expanding your effective pleasure time, has experienced exponential growth.
Wracked with pain you crave pleasure. You have to escape the barrage of bad news and cheer yourself up.
Many people find relief in fentanyl, oxycodone and other pain-relieving medicines, but it’s house 5 – the fun house – that provides real pleasure.
House 5 is all about the things people do for pleasure. Love is top of the list. Just ask besotted teenagers. It’s exhilarating, intoxicating and emotionally strenuous – strictly for the young and hopefully a happy memory for the middle aged and elderly. And it’s about sex, baby making and children but in the age of economic stress and struggle the global birth rate is declining so it seems procreation is losing its pleasure appeal.
House 5 is about entertainment, the party life, dancing in the dark, movies, games, gaming, sport, leisure, leisure activities, hobbies and creative interests. It’s about recreation and what you do to relax and recharge. Indoor and outdoor recreation inspires and unleashes creative energy.
Your pleasure life can be active or passive. You can play or watch basketball, tennis or golf. So, what’s your pleasure? – movies, music, music festivals, live concerts, stage shows, poetry readings or television shows? Maybe you’re entertained by Netflix or by watching viral videos on YouTube.
And pleasure has become big business. Clever people sell pleasure. They know there’s a massive market and plenty of money to be made. Whatever your pleasure it will probably cost you to feel those feel-good pleasure feelings.
Pleasure in the Age of Aquarius
It seems that in the Age of Aquarius entertainment and sport have replaced religion as the opium of the masses. The god’s have been reincarnated as actors, singers and sporting heroes.
Movies and music are major sources of pleasure. In 2023-24 as the bad news escalated it was a big year for movies. Awards nights at the Oscar’s, Emmy’s, Golden Globe’s, Tony’s, Grammies and the MTV Video Music Awards are packed with pleasure, tension and excitement. You can share in the joy as the winning actors, performers, producers and writers, who give you pleasure, receive awards for what they do well.
Maybe you’re into sport: a player or spectator at the athletes, soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, table tennis, golf, cricket, hockey, badminton, lawn bowls, rowing, skiing, speed skating, ice hockey, figure skating, curling, cycling, motor racing, motor cycling, darts, gymnastics, judo or boxing.
Kick-boxing and other brutal combat sports give those souls whose evolutionary development requires conflict and muscular strength something to do with their aggressive energy. New age gladiators, aka alpha males, imitate what their ancestors did thousands of years ago in ancient Rome.
Maybe horse racing, professional poker or speculating/investing is your pleasure. People enjoy the excitement of gamboling, except when they lose. House 5 is all about risk and life and love involve risk. You run the risk of losing money and when your favorite team loses it isn’t much fun.
The major sporting events – Wimbledon, the World Cup Soccer and Olympics Games – are bursting with excitement and pleasure. The spectacular opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics will take place July 26, 2024. It’s taken eight years to plan and (hopefully) will provide 2-weeks of pleasure relief from the bad news. Break-dancing aka breaking is a new sport. Karate and baseball have been dropped. Russia and Belarus won’t be competing.
The excitement and sensation of competitive sport gets the adrenalin pumping. It relieves boredom and provides temporary escape from the harsh realities of daily life. Routine life, work, study and academic activity can’t compete with the pleasure-excitement that house 5 provides.
People can go crazy for things like fortune-telling, tattoos, piercings, smart devices, snapchatting, jogging, no sugar and fad-foods but house 5 is where the crazy excitement is.
Gaggles of speculators go crazy at basketball, football, tennis and soccer games. Investors go bonkers when the stockmarket rises. Maybe you need to feel crazy excitement too: to have every thought and physical cell electrified and zinging with excitement and delirium.
The news websites have sport, entertainment and arts pages. Some provide games to play. The pleasure pages provide relief from the avalanche of bad news that dominates the 24/7 global news cycle.
The web is a global information data resource and a hub of pleasure. It’s where you can find out where to buy an old Beatles album, the best accommodation at a Colorado ski resort and who won the 1999 Academy Award for Best Actor. Maybe whimsical web surfing is your pleasure.
Whatever your feel-good delight go for it. The news is all bad. The doomsday prophets have made dire predictions. Your time here is short, so get out there and have as much crazy pleasure as you can before this demented planet is declared certifiably unhinged.
