“Dearest Mystic,

How are you? Are you surviving the zappage? Is the kitteh safe? etc…I have to write [I generally avoid doing this as I know you get a squillion emails every hour] I am having a Pisces crisis…and I know you may be one person who understands!

This is naturally occurring because I am comparing myself to other peeps, naturally of other sun signs, and I find myself wanting.  (Rule no 1, don’t compare yourself to other people?!) I don’t know how this started. Well yes I do, it’s because of a recent Toro-moment that has got me a little shaken and stirred.

I am having trouble seeing how Pisceans [other than you *obviously* ;) ] stand out in any special way.

I feel that I am not magnetic, impenetrable and sexily threatening like a Scorpio.

I am not charismatic and stable and caring like a Cancer.  I am not a photographer/boat-builder/woman-about-town like a Saggitarian.

I am not tactile, simple and stoic like a Taurus [sigh].

Nor do I have the unshakeable convictions of an Aqua, or the teflon-like emotional invulnerability of a Gemini.

Not as seemingly together and socially adept as a Virgo.  Shite at relating, unlike lovely Librans. Clearly no self confidence, opposite to Leo. etc etc.  You see? crisis. It’s totally fuqing with me…where is Pisces in all of this?  Are we all in martini bars and trawling jewellery stores for creative inspiration? Sitting up in bed with our laptops reading about something obscure, looking for the next art exhibition?

In more lucid moments I tell myself to sort my shit out and stop feeling so pathetically sorry for myself.  But in the face of city living [after a long hiatus] amongst photographers, therapists, beautiful people, fulfilled creatives [ah the dream] and efficient, happy professional types, whatever, well it all comes crashing down.  I just feel so… of little consequence. What sets us apart?

Maybe I really am nothing more than an advanced dishcloth. lol. This may be one more for the therapis couch than my lovely astrologer but hey, it’s worth a shot.

love you mystic baby,

The Freaked Out Piscean xxxx”

Dear Freaked Out Piscean,

I think this is just a hangover from Saturn in Virgo for so long. Pisceans are fab, rad people; multi-faceted, sexy and unique. Read the Pluto in Capricorn self-help book, go fix the Feng and re-read Hi-Lo Pisces.

Jupiter & Uranus are conjoining in Pisces on Sept 18/19: sudden serendipity for Piscean peeps for sure…And then there a few more such lucky conjunctions between now and next March. Cherchez Le Grip!

Oh and maybe it is a Chiron-in-Pisces crisis so you go through a stage of feeling crappy and then voila: the vision of greatness actioned by you with intense chutzpah and authenticity etc?

And maybe find some Pisceans you admire to model off?

Librans, to distract you from the hefty Saturn transit you are embarking upon, please share the secrets of your charm?

Is it your mastery of the art of euphemism? “You look well” instead of “wow, you’ve porked up” when someone has gained weight.

Your fastidious grooming and that you always smell beautiful?  Stealth scent warfare is not to be disregarded as a tactic.

The renowned desire to balance everything out, so that you never seem strident nor coarse during heated discussions re religion or politics?

Some secret art that you practice, like an ancient Japanese ritual or reading Rumi a lot?

Sucking up to everyone relentlessly, regardless of who they are or their status in your life?

Power-flirting done nearly to porn classic prequel standard but without managing to come across psycho-stalkery?

Please share. And if you are not a Libran, you may share what you deem to be the charm-school techniques of a fave (or not so fave but still annoyingly charming Libran of your acquaintance.

Edward Burne-Jones- Cupid’s Hunting Fields

Venus is in trine to Neptune – ‘in thrall to’ might be a more appropriate phrase – until next week, just after the New Moon, when she gets into Scorpio. The Venusian Luxe; sex-magic-karma situation that has warranted a whole Astro-Confidential to itself.

Venus-Neptune has a beautiful haute dimension to it: Compassionate, genuinely selfless, poetic, dreamy and capable of unconditional love. Psychic dreams, heightened pleasures in art & music, enhanced awareness of soul and romantic telepathy.

But it can go a bit batso and turn peeps into bride-of-christ-like yearners after a hopeless crush or a non-existent ‘love’ affair that anyone sane would have given the flick at first sight. Or after the obvious made itself apparent. eg; that the person is moving to Mars or is unavailable for some other pressingly plausible reason.

Yet Venus-Neptune keeps you hooked, hanging in there, getting off on the emotions and inspiration being churned by the scenario…no need to worry about picking up anyone’s revolting socks or listening to them tell the same stupid anecdote for the tenth time. No-no-no.

And then there is way low Neptune-Venus, where you add drugs-alcohol-insanity-sacrifice etc into the mix. As Howard Sasportas once said, “Neptune always benefits from a little Saturn.” And so definitely does Venus-Neptune. Before you go hitting the Blue Devil Hoochie Juice with your no-good ex, sending that goo-goo confessional or funding your new lover’s video art installation, ask yourself ‘what would Saturn in Libra do?’

Besides, once Venus has moved off trining Neptune, she is bang: straight into Scorpio and we’re back in the Bermuda Triangle Of Love, for the first time since late 2002/early 2003.

Elizabeth Stuart – Queen of Bohemia Michiel Jansz Mierevald

Okay so I am not an art historian but isn’t it unusual to see portraits from this era (1600s) with the hair flowing so free and undone? Usually it is in a snood (?) or ye olde beehive thing i think. So i immediately think LEO!

And voila, she is – or was – Elizabeth Stuart was born 19 August 1596 & yes, what a mane.

Renowned for her beauty, grace & vitality, she corresponded with the philosopher Descartes and Shakespeare apparently wrote The Tempest for her as a wedding gift. She has inspired several poems & appears in quite a few novels, as a ghost and/or with mad peeps thinking that they are her.

Every bit the Leo luvvie…

The countries retaining a monarchy should have laws that only Leos can be Kings of Queens because they are so terribly good at it. They suit crowns and gowns. They love formal occasions. They can transcend politics. They love performances and speeches. They have manners and can usually be relied upon to say the right thing. eg; Princess Anne. Princess Margaret. The late Queen Mother. Princess Beatrice. All Leos.

The “d.i.y. astro – houses” category is a really fast way to learn some astrology…Just grab your chart off astrodienst &  go for it.

Let’s do Virgo; the house where you have Virgo on the chart is where your skills of observation and precision are super-powered – your perceptive accuracy is off any scale ever invented. But it’s also where you probably have NO idea that you are also narky, fussy, a control fiend and a bit neurotic.

For example: 8th House – you can read other peeps sexual fantasies and motivations like a book but you may have a ridiculous set of neuroses that you call “criteria”…

11th House – loads of friends and yes, you remember all their birthdays and you do things right. But you also hit the roof at imagined or real “infringements.”

2nd House – If proper record-keeping, budgets, financial planning and spreadsheets are the path to wealth, you’re acing it and more financially secure for it. But you don’t sleep well at night due to lying awake flipping out over some expenditure that wasn’t on your precious schedule.

The House where you have Virgo is where you like things to be “neat” but obviously, you can over do this a bit.

Another day, another chance to check out your AstroGaga talents and maybe score yourself a year of the Daily Mystic subscription (includes Weekly/Monthly Scopes + Oracle access & the must-know Daily Mystic e-mail straight to your in-box Mon to Fri).

Astrologically, who are these women and what the hell are they doing? You can browse previous Astro-Gagas for an idea of the fabulously high standard of entries. My all-time fave AstroGaga is still this one & i don’t think anyone disagreed with me that the guy was a major Sagg.

My Theory:

Libra (left) and her Cancerian friend have decided to start their own tres chic stall at the local street markets but it’s been only a day or two and their already dodgy, potentially toxic crypto-gay “friendship” has gone to hell.

Libra sees her job as more “managing expectations” and overseeing things from a broad perspective. This has entailed a lot of hanging out at the local coffee shop, hair-flicks, tit-thrusts, name-dropping and flirting with the barista as well as getting manicures so as to “network.”

It’s infuriated her Cancerian mate on the right who is about to let rip with a really choice rant re Libra being a parasitical, pretentious bitch. Libra is wondering what bugs her more; that the Cancerian won’t just be officially gay already or those hideous pants.

Thoughts? Your Version?

Neptune in Pisces will mean more other-worldly shoes, like these ones, above.  Goodbye sensible pumps and secretary shoes such as kitten heels. We will either be in Masai Barefoot Technology-Birkenstock-Fit-Flops-cellulite-buster type things or shoes that just a few years ago, would have seemed more appropriate for Uranian spring nights.

And yes, Neptune in Pisces. From May 2011. I am thinking about it quite intensely. Neptune RULES Pisces. This is going to be really good, I think. More on that soon.

But these shoes. It’s a light-up heel and it is activated by your movement. I think it is actually a constellation and if you take a look at her site, she has the most insanely brilliant news feed (all cosmic and astronaut info, live) scrolling across the bottom of the page. I want it for here.

I think that when pondering astrological bathroom preferences, we have to go with the Moon sign, bathing being such a personal and solitary (mostly) situation.

So which Moon sign would covet this bathroom?

At first i thought my Moon in Libra was loving it:  ye olde fashioned full length claw-foot bathtub, Venusian-Aqua/Turquoise hues and simple chic elegance etc. Oh and the Piscean-oceanic themes…nice. Logic: Venus rules my Moon in Libra – my Venus in Pisces.

But now i think i hate it.  That many starfish? I’m sorry but that’s so Nineties. So gerbera.  And forgive me if i am wrong but isn’t having starfish like that everywhere, like having skeletons all over your bathroom?

So first there is a fuqed Feng Shui issue and then you think, Virgoanly, HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU CLEAN THEM?  Sorry for the caps but it is a shrill thought. I mean do you have to take down every single bit of sea-corpse remain and dust/polish them + check for sea-mites and so on every day?

Maybe i am being too Virgo about this, again. Thoughts?

Oh and it absolutely needs  heaps more fluffy soft towels in there and could those shelves not be better suited to loads of product? Now, that is my Moon in Libra on it.

Who, apart from Pisces and Cancerians in the Nineties, would like this bathroom?

This dude is about to turn 70.

Yes, UK perfomer Cliff Richard has had his second Saturn Return and is heading for his Uranus Return.  He is an icon of, I guess, the early Pluto in Leo generation & voila, here he is putting out a calendar. I would love to type nsfw here but it probably is, lol.  STILL, seriously, how good does he look for 69?

So, okay he does not do wheat nor dairy, having gotten onto the blood type diet – this is all according to a Daily Mail article on him and his bod & his Wiki quotes him as saying he believes himself to be “the most radical rock star that has ever been”…well, he HAS got Moon in Aries.

What else has he got going on with his astro?  He’s a multiple Libran – Sun-Mars-North Node & he’s got that Moon in Aries with Uranus about to come along and rev it up. Uranus-Moon is the classic out-of-the-closet transit but Cliff has remained elegantly hush-hush re his sexuality for yonks. He lives with a former Catholic priest.

Anyway, what really interests me his his Gemini Rising. I see this consistently on peeps who look way younger than their years. Gemini Rising is the fountain of youth, don’t you think?

And he’s got Saturn-Jupiter-Uranus all together in Taurus: An extraordinary blend for career longevity and being able to endure through different eras and fads. Remember this: Where you have Taurus in your chart (house cusp or planets etc in the sign) is where you may be a bit slo-mo or un-cool at first but you endure and triumph via sheer stickability.

Sun In Scorpio

You know the Moon is in Taurus & even though they say Venus rules Taurus, i sometimes think it is Gaia, the Earth Goddess aka Herta or Eartha…from where we get the name for our planet.

Anyway, the Moon in Taurus is always a brilliant time to get grounded, connected, stabilized, nourished and all. Go hug a tree. Eat something macrobiotic or walk on the grass. And it is not known as the Massage Moon for nothing.

Another gift of the Taurus Moon is supernatural calm no matter what…awesome.  Like something you’d normally have to get ten hours carefree slumber or be a champion meditation diva to achieve. Plus Luna-Taurus links in gorgeously to Pluto in Capricorn & Sun-Mercury in Virgo…
