Dancing With Death
by Rob Seimetz
In my 34th year of life I feel as if I am entering a sort of twilight stage to it. This stage I have realized isn’t a cycle to my life but it’s a performance.
This performance is a dance, a dance that climaxes to death….my death. And in this dance I am playing the role of life (yin) my dance partner is death (yang). Even though I am life, death always takes the lead in this dance.
This culture denies this dance, this culture can’t dance. Those of us who relish the dance are said to have a death wish, but really we are excited to assume the role of “life” as we dance with our lead partner “death”.
This culture can’t dance with death because it refuses to acknowledge it is inferior to death as it dances. It wants death’s role in the dance. Taking the role of death in this dance was not meant for this culture. It’s making death’s dance partner, life, off balance.
When dancing with death you must realize as life there’s a give and take to the dance and a push and pull.
As my life span rapidly increases it is now that I understand the older I get the more I feel these pushes and pulls in life.
I push to help others, I push to do the things that make me feel alive, that make me be a competent dance partner with death during our dance. But it is lately that with pushes come pulls, a job can pull you away from what you push for, acknowledging other’s needs over yours can pull you in other directions, and unexpected life events can also push you down another path or pull you away from another path.
This is the yin and yang of our existence, it’s what makes you feel balanced. It’s how you dance with death. One must push to feel the pull and one must pull to feel the push.
Sometimes the dance can get awkward or go on for too long. Some may say the dance can also be too short. But what this culture won’t tell you is when the dance is done just right it’s beautiful, and it doesn’t matter how long the dance lasts for.
In order to dance with death you must not make the dance routine. You must improvise. You must stop worrying about staring at your feet to see if you are getting the steps right. You must realize the imperfections of the dance lead to perfections.
The most important things you can do as you dance with death is look into death’s eyes because you are life. As life when you stare into death’s eyes it is then you let death take the lead and feel the pushes and pulls you need to make in the improvisation of life.
This is what makes the dance with death a beautiful dance and one that feels natural. It’s the way you end your dance with death gracefully.
Contrary to popular belief, death is the one that tells you when the dance is over but it’s up to you as life on how you choose to dance with it. Make sure you as life take chances with your dance, and always acknowledge that death is watching you dance as its partner life while you dance with it.
With that being said, they will tell you to “dance like no one is watching.” Do not listen to them they tell you this out of ignorance. They don’t realize what we all long to see and that’s the beautiful dance with death. The beauty we all long for is when life and death dance together and it seems improvised yet effortless and natural. So make sure you dance like everyone is watching because even if you think no one is watching your dance there is always someone watching…your lead dance partner…death.

Treaty
Artist: Leonard Cohen
Album: You Want It Darker
I've seen you change the water into wine
I've seen you change it back to water too
I sit at your table every night
I try but I just don't high with you
I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty between your love and mine
Ah, they're dancing in the street it's jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me
I haven't said a word since you been gone
That any liar didn't say as well
I just can't believe the static coming on
You were my brown, my safe and sound
You were my Ariel
Ah, the fields are crying out it's jubilee
We sold ourselves for love but now we're free
I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be
Only one of us was real and that was me
I heard the snake was baffled by his sin
He shed his scales to find the snake within
But born again is born without a skin
The poison enters into everything
And I wish there was a treaty we could sign
I do not care who takes this bloody hill
I'm angry and I'm tired all the time
I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty between your love and mine

The meaning he was referring to in this song is quite deep. Right
now I don't have time to look for his comments on YouTube.

Yes, Saturn is Time, but the Ancient Solar System ended
with Saturn... the last of the naked eye visible
planets... thus Saturn was Time AND Death, and the
Gatekeeper that either granted passage to the Realms
Beyond or booted you back for another go... not to say
Pluto doesn't have His place in the grand structure of
things (Hel, I still consider Pluto a Planet)... ;)

The decision to demote Pluto as a planet didn't alter it's POWER in our
Astrology charts! Pluto wherever it is in your chart has the power to
breakdown, destroy and then rebuild better and stronger than before.
It's the biggest game changer in the chart. It also represents the
Unconscious mind, Psychology, Sexuality, Death and Rebirth, Inheritance.
Saturn is the Teacher. Saturn's gifts are; One-pointedness, Focus, Absolute
commitment to Realism, Discipline, Effort, Method, Structure, its utterly
Objective and utterly Practical! Things learned the hard way & earned.
The Greek name for Saturn is Chronos .."TIME".
Did you know that it shares it's orbit with Neptune? It does! They overlap
for time as Pluto comes closer to the Sun and Neptune retreats in back of
Pluto. Thus making Neptune the farthest planet from the Sun during that
time. Our World feels it when Pluto's energy gets closer and stronger. :)

Yes, I know... but that is the "new" way,
adopted/blended in once the Outer Planets were
discovered (Middle Ages to Renaissance Era...
sorta)... prior to that Saturn incorporated all the
attributes you are putting towards Pluto...
And yes, Pluto and Neptune share the road...
Do a search for "Esoteric Saturn" and follow as many
of the links as you can... you'll get what appears to
be conflicting information, but you will be able to
piece a cohesive picture from the Chaos...
And just for fun, with all that you know and further
discover through the suggested search, meditate to
The Sounds Of Saturn... ;)

Pretty cool RIG thanks! I'll check out Esoteric Saturn too! :)
I've been studying Evolutionary Astrology lately with Steven Forrest's work
with the main focus on Neptune and his interpretations. His relationship
chart "The Sky We Share" for $35. is 35 pages!--and they're mind-blowing
accurate!
It was so incredible yet nothing like the standard astrology I was taught
from other teachers. He's got a GIFT of amazing insight along with great
delivery of knowledge that easily relates like an arrow to a target! He's a
conceptual genius on many levels. Check it out at the link.
Blessings, Jody

Eris is larger than Pluto. Takes twice as long as Pluto to orbit the Sun
- 640+ years vs Pluto's 250+ years. It's been in Aries for decades.
Was discovered in 2005, nicknamed Zena (very fitting) until the
goddess name Eris was settled on. In myth she is a warrior and was
the wife of Mars. No pansy, more like the 13th fairy in Sleeping
Beauty story: "didn't invite me to the party? Well, take that and that!"
Uranus conjuncted it a little while ago as Uranus sped by it at 20 or
so degrees Aries on its way to Taurus.
Conjunction happened on my Sun-Venus conjunction which is part of
a grand square. Eris will stay on it for years more; change or die I
guess. Wondering if I should become a journalist. Eris can't help
pointing out the truth everyone is ignoring.

Eris... I had to go look it up in my chart- 8 deg Aries and it's making nice aspects to
natal Mars, Moon and the N.Node! I wish it was named Zena--I voted for that one!
You described that 13th Fairy/Eris symbolism very well!
I love your post Angelina especially that last line of
"Eris can't help pointing out the truth everyone is ignoring!" --A Rebel Heretic!!!
I do that naturally with my Sagittarius Moon! ;)
-AKA Foot in mouth syndrome
I think you can gain by Eris sitting on top of your Sun-Venus conjuction. It's unsettling at
first and probably difficult to harness this energy but it will also bring you surprises,
shocks and lots of giggles/embarrassment, or new career! --Look out lady!!!
Maybe you're to learn to be at peace with Truth and use this as a gift? Because
very soon we'll all be telepathic and everything will be KNOWN by everybody!
You could become a Tarot card reader/Psychic and just be honest with what you
see and know. Either way you are going to get a boost from Eris to this conjuction.
And I also feel this will bring in a talent or enhancing sparkle to your life you'll
really enjoy. It feels 'refreshing' like a fresh air breeze coming into your life.
All the best Angelina I really enjoyed your post!
Blessings, Jody
