Dark Moon Discipline

Yes, I know. You may feel like hooting it up with some destressing decadence or even just naff crap comforting “food”.

The Dark Moon is always a bit like that. But it’s a Dark Moon in Virgo and I swear, give in to naff urges and you will feel revolting shortly afterward. Especially when the Moon is new conjunct Saturn…Difficult as it may be, this is the time to skive off to bed early with cats/epsom salts baths/valerian tea/face masque/goobly new age tunes…whatevs, you get the idea- yes?

With the current astro-weirding, the path to Uranian fun, freedom & individuation leads through the portal of Saturnine self-control. And the Moon being conjunct Saturn is an intimate echo of this ongoing astro-passage.

  1. anyone got any hints about how to best handle a new but lovely g/f who is having break-up issues and wants to go out for a couple of drinks tonight? my theory is that since i will be coming from a yoga class, I will “try” just drinking water and be in bed before mdnight, but all in conjunction with having a listening ear…

    • Oh dear UP,

      That would be tuff…Maybe if you feel you need one drink a “spritzer” type thing? Pleanty of water with a little bit O’Wine?

      As for me, said I was going to bed but still all over the place. OUt of control really…lol….So much for beauty sleep & will need “Tres Gem’s” beauty alchemy for women or magic elixer.

      All the good stuff has a price….~dammit~!!

    • lol with yr friend – perhaps you should read her the ‘saturn girl’ post from a few weeks ago. it was great and i felt pretty inspired by it in the middle of a break up as was then – not sure if the same atmospheric skies exist as at that time but still it was all about saturn/uranus boundaries/clearing etc it was marv

    • Hey UP, Pisces here.. sounds to me like you’re her ‘break-up buddy’…
      not her ‘in bed before midnight conjunction friend’

    • thanks guys…we had a nice night, i was shagged from a busy week so didn’t last too long anyway (had forewarned her…) firehorse i think you made a good point – the job description for breakup buddy is much different to solo dark moon introspection…

  2. Hey guys do what thou wilt – I ain’t no saint. Aqua-Girl and I are dragging children out with us tomorrow night for a carbs & chardonnay style catch-up that always morphs into A Night. I just know from experience that dark moon dipsomania is a bit turgid. And your body – we are lunar creatures in many ways – wants to be treated just right at this time.
    Just say to g.f that your astrologer says its a way better night to handle that type of shit consciously blah blah…

    • thanks mystic :) I found out that she is a scorp, and man is she a hottie, I am theorising a libra asc or some emphasis on Libra though, she is a v loyal partner. perhaps too loyal methinks. we’re pretty different generations / life stories in some ways… other than almost-parallel breakup stories..!

  3. ooooh, luving the outfit. i am determined to have terrible spellling and punktuation today, but am adhering to health thing. Saw osteo this am, am eating well and not too much, no booze, then to bed early with little t to watch dvd’s. sunday is gonna be spazz out at the high st festival in melb…hope its sunny…

  4. A friend of mine suggested cleansing some old turquoise I have with sage,(it has an xbf attached to it) adding that the mind alter is part of the cleansing. An interesting compromise perhaps…

  5. I so feel like i could actually finally be on the cosmic program. Cancelled cocktails with thirsty girlfriends this morning (last friday drunk dial etc fiasco still haunting…) & told the cat at 5pm ‘back shortly’ arrived home soon after with lean cuisine & ‘australia’ on dvd – i now read the post and think yee ha am feeling the vibe and responding & loving the feeling it’s all good … am happily steering clear of the dipso – a bit eery around here where i am, deserted streets, still air etc. usually there’s far more happening

  6. does a dozen of freshly shucked oysters, 200 grms of fresh SA prawns, baguettes and Tassie brie count as good food even though its the ultimate in comfort?? The Champagne probably cancels it out though I guess….

  7. mystic your advice is priceless – being half virgo and a rather essential part of the dayjob cog i have been full on virgo aspect right up until an hour ago when i was let of the leash. am now doing my leo thing bit BUT with virgo discretion – only the best tequilla, organic beer and delish wine – as my nightjob is friend, mama and gramma. may this new moon bring all under her blessings and light!

  8. I had an urge all week to spontaneously self combust but I think that had more to do with my computer dramas than the dark moon. This merc retro and the saturn/uranus opp hit with a vengeance.

    P’haps it was a hint from the dudes upstairs to make sure all my software was legal. heh ;)
