was left on a mountain (the mount of Aries) and had his ankles pierced. The name<br />

Oedipus means "Swell-foot". The boy was found and reared by Polybus. Later Oedipus<br />

killed Laius for slaying one of his horses on a narrow path. (The piercing of the ankles<br />

means the maiming of the heel and refers to the<br />

lame smith or Demiurge. The heel sign of Scorpio is ruled by Mars, who also rules the<br />

Mount of Aries. The serpent heel depicts the descent of the Soul from the mount of the<br />

Spirit (Aries) to the physical plane (Scorpio).<br />
