A Libra & A Scorpio Walked into a Bar

A Libra and a Scorpio Walked into a Bar...

named, The House of October,

nested inside

the downtown metropolitan area

of the Heavens.

Within its dark womb,

beneath the hypnotic bass of trance music,

Libra whispered of a plot.

An injustice,

of great benefit to Scorpio,

be,

her blessing

given.

Its genius owed to Capricorn,

the mastermind.

To kill the bearer of wisdom,

Ophiuchus.

And shift the order of power.

Thus, allowing Capricorn

to claim the highest esteem.

At that time,

September was bound to the 7th House.

October was bound to the 8th House.

November was bound to the 9th.

December was bound to the 10th.

Ophiuchus, bearer of wisdom, sat over the 11th and 12th house.

This made Capricorn envious,

and she eventually said,

"Oh, hell no."

And woe,

a deadly plot was formed.

Libra told Scorpio the plot was already in motion.

Sagittarius was to be the assassin,

and all they needed was Scorpio's poison,

to lacquer one of Sagittarius' arrows.

This would take out Ophiuchus for good.

Scorpio asked, "What's in it for us?"

Libra put down her drink,

"We would take ownership of October,

and its elevated station amongst the Heavenly nightlife."

Scorpio loved the night scene.

And the plan.

But she had reservations. "What about Virgo? They'll be onto us."

To which,

Libra replied, "Okay - make that two poison arrows."

Libra would go on to assure Scorpio,

and iron out her concerns.

She told her Aries was in on it too.

She would pacify stubborn Taurus,

for a smooth ascent.

Scorpio thought about it more.

"Without Virgo, Leo will never go for it.

And Leo will fight."

Libra's smile was a devious one.

Prickly as a pine.

With eyes closed,

and pressed by her forefingers,

she told Scorpio that Gemini would impersonate Virgo,

and trick Leo into compliance.

Libra & Scorpio clinked glasses,

and the deal was sealed.

Even time itself turned a blind eye,

as the poison arrow traveled the ages.

September became the 9thHouse.

November became the 11th.

And December became the 12th.

THE END.
