Twilight at StarIQ

StarIQ is a site known for various links to Astrology as well as Daily Horoscopes. Today they included a blurb that mentions Twilight as well as other vampire flicks:

“Twilight and the Dracula Archetype”

This holiday season the perennial vampire flick returns with Twilight, a modern-day love story between a teenager and a young vampire. The film is based on the pop-phenom book of the same name, but the story has its roots in Dracula, written by Bram Stoker in 1897, and making its first appearance when the author read the book as a play to a mesmerized audience.

The moment of Dracula’s debut (May 18, 1897; 10:15 am; London, UK**) describes the blood-sucking archetype—elegant and sophisticated as well as a shadowy, evil predator. The clashing archetypes of propriety and eccentricity—Saturn and Uranus—were conjunct, and fused into the personality of the Transylvanian Count, as shown by the Taurus Sun exactly opposite Saturn-Uranus.

Venus at the Midheaven describes the romantic themes involved in the Dracula legend. However, Mars is hidden away in the Twelfth House and squares Venus, revealing the discreet, repressed nature of the sexual interactions. Dracula was an instant success, as it managed to dramatize the Victorian era’s repressed sexuality in terms of good and evil. After all, only undead monsters could be so depraved.

At the foundation of this horoscope is Chiron in Scorpio. This placement reiterates the theme of sexual woundedness. When Nosferatu, the first vampire film, appeared on March 4, 1922, Dracula’s progressed Venus was exactly opposite natal Chiron. Bela Lugosi’s classic Dracula appeared on Valentine’s Day 1931, as transiting Chiron opposed Dracula’s natal Chiron. Americans are fascinated by Dracula because this Chiron sits right on the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant. Dracula represents the U.S. projected shadow.
