Now that it's passed like weather:
Hilary Barrett:
Oracle
'Coupling, the woman is powerful.
Do not take this woman.'
" 'Coupling' means meeting, and also a woman who gives birth to the heir – the powerful woman. She represents someone (of either sex) or something with a profound and mysterious power to attract you, to take over, and to change everything. She moves you, re-energizes and gives birth to new life.
The oracle warns you not to take the woman – not to try to seize control of her, and not to marry her. Do not imagine that you can bring her under control, assimilate her into your life and continue as before. Such a marriage cannot last. This woman has more power than any system where you might try to contain her. She might bring desires that undermine a well-balanced life, or an irruption of feeling into a realm of abstractions, or chance and irrationality to threaten a logical, ordered mind.
Perhaps you will stand fast and resist this power's attraction. Perhaps you will embrace her briefly, and let your life be transformed by the encounter. But you cannot take her or marry her."
Not that I for a split-second entertained notion otherwise.
