b"This week we confront the 5 of Swords, the Lord of Defeat - an uncomfortable place at best and a dangerous no man's land at worst.\\xa0 Here Venus rules over the first decan of Aquarius, but the combined peaceful natures of that planet and that sign are no match for the harsh power of a 5.\\xa0 The truce of the 4 of Swords has fallen; winners gloat and losers suffer. In our conversation we discuss the contrast of Venus' warm close opulence with the remote stylings of Aquarius, and the ways in which motion comes to the aid of matter and breaks up stasis. We consider the fall of Rome and Epicene cults, mutilated heads, the goddess , piracy, slaves of giants, swastikas and Germany, risks undertaken, ways navigated and found, the averse pentagram, respect for authority, and the tragic failure of good intentions.
