Newbeats Bread And Butter




Ik zat vanmiddag te lezen in een bijzonder astrologieboek, Solar Biology by Hiram E. Butler, [1887], gevonden op sacred-texts.com en vond daar de volgende beschrijving van Mercurius in Ram, een planeetstand die ik in mijn horoscoop heb. De laatste zin triggerde mij tot het opzoeken van het geweldig swingende liedje Bread and Butter, let op die hoge stem!


☿ (Mercury) in ♈ (Aries).
This gives very strong brain power and great endurance in thought and study; but in children it is apt to contribute morbid ideas concerning sexuality, and should they be led into excesses in that direction, it would give liability to insanity. Insanity might also result from lack of vitality.
It gives strong materialistic tendencies to the person; consequently a disinclination to recognize anything that does not come within the scope of the five senses. It gives special qualifications for a general business life, because it holds the mind down to a practical money-getting, bread-and-butter interest.
