The Return Of Mars Options

wile_e_coyote2_1Wile E Coyote

Okay so the situation this week is not so intense as the Mars junket that inspired Mars Options back in Mid-August. Do go back and read so that you can see my point.

But what we DO have is the Sun in Scorpio being squared by Mars in Leo. Sun-Mars alone is quite bolshie enough but in such primal, jungle and unforgiving signs? Tres ruthless.  Thankfully the sucky and mellow Venus-Jupiter trine + having to dirge through the dregs of Saturn in Virgo probably stops a lot of us going-for-it with  our Scorped up Sun-Mars square urges.  We can’t afford it! And Mars in Leo won’t do it without a good out fit and a spa to go and recover in after making his/her scene.

But there is still a choice…You can

(1) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Scorpio. I am talking whacked out diet, advanced astral tripping and conspiracy theorising for pleasure.

(2) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Leo. Think compulsive grooming, devising a new image, watching Out Of Africa with a box of chocolates, some gin and your monogrammed hankies to snivel into.

(3) Vibe Lower Scorp via some google-stalking, facebook cooking, obsessive tarot reading, scribbling stream of consciousness crap in your black book of shitlists/assorted bile and ordering online hoodoo remedies.

(4) Vibe Lower Leo via a quick blow-out, a snort  of hair-spray and off you strut to lecture your lowerlings on the superiority of thou,  hold forth on the crap state of the country because you are not running it and denounce religion – what would be the point unless YOU were the supreme deity. Then, when hubris has reached critical levels, text something that you only think is subtle as you’re so s-faced.

(5) Channel Venus-Jupiter and think beautiful, crystal-style thoughts of love and compassion towards even those peeps who truly annoy you. Because, after all, they are not so blessed nor nearly so clever, lucky and pretty as lovely one.

(6) Nothing because you are too busy devising better systems for living via the total Life Coach time management system that is Saturn in the last degrees of Virgo. Seriously, you keep tabs of time and output etc, crunch some numbers and VOILA: genius insights.You also know, because you are so fabulous, that Saturn is going to come BACK to these late degrees of Virgo in early 2010. So even though everything feels different and enlightened v.soon, cleave to the sense of urgency that is making you revamp systems now.

(7) Nothing as you are either an Aries in love with a Leo or a Leo in love with an Aries and you are able to take this extra heat and use it incognito.

And, as you are reading this, i am sure you have it already but if Mars in Leo is really giving you the shits (tired, perpetually pissed off, easily irritated, ready to scream etc) then do order Martian Bats.

    Ok I’m def going Mega Zen Scorpio. Whacked out diet? Check! The Virgo personal trainer has taken me off all potatoes, bread, rice and pasta, suger – basically anything that tastes civilised – and I’m on water, things that you can eat straight out of the ground (her words) and protein. Oh and some bats green protein wheatgrass shake thing that I’m allowed to add blueberries to so I don’t feel like I’m drinking blended grass. Yay me.

    She said I make “too much of an event out of meals and my food is too GOURMET” …. to which I asked “are you a Virgo??” and she smiled brightly and said “Yes how could you tell??” … to which I just smiled and thought she really doesn’t understand Cancerians since we don’t EAT unless it’s gourmet. But apparently this is the problem in the first place and I was told if I want to get excited about food I should think of it like this:

    If I don’t eat, I will die.

    Virgos.

    Oh and I have to work out doing some full one weight cross training thing 3 times a week and walk on my days off.

    So Mars is happy and Saturn is happy and eventually I will be happy if I have anything near the figure of this woman – think a white Beyonce but prettier.

      I’m trying to work out a way I can ask my young boy/man PT what his sign is without looking sleazy…so far he constantly monitors how I’m feeling and varies routines so much I haven’t a clue how hard I’m working till later…when he tells me…as well as snappy instructions, he sprinkles praise throughout…sooo NOT a Virgo.

      We discussed the long term health benefits…and the fact that the RPM class the other day didn’t kill me( RPM btw is a class where you’re all lined up on bikes with a post apocalyptic lighting scheme, and thumping driving beat and someone out the front screaming at you, harder, this is for youuuuuuu, harder, twist it UP)…in a strange turn of events I love it…and will try to fit in 6am class on Wednesday…so it’s sort of self managed cardio/weights, alternating with rainforest walks and swims…and then a short sharp PT session to keep me on track…PT so not a Virgo.

      She sounds fierce Prowlin, in a slightly scary good Virgoan way. Imagine your bravery quota in a couple of weeks, you’ll be titanium.

        i was wondering what RPM was. We call them Spin classes in Sydney. I’ve heard about it. Sounds deadly… not really my cup of tea.

        Great that you’ve found an activity that has long term health benefits and that you love as well.

        Why don’t you just ask your PT what sign he is? Just say that you have an interest in astrology. You’ll be surprised how many people are happy to reveal their sign if you ask in a matter of fact and out of curiosity way.

        It’s only sleazy if your twirling your hair and drinking cocktails at 5am in some trendy bar.

        I think you’re right LL … he doesn’t sound like Our Virgo at all. They seem to feel more compassion for arteries and bowels than the actual people attached to them. Although they would argue (vehemently!) that they ARE considering the person’s well being in the long term and possibly start ranting about the problem with modern life and how everyone’s after a quick fix etc etc …

        So in regards to your PT boy/man I would bet something like a Cancer or a Pisces if he’s concerned about your Feelings. These two signs are obsessed with Feelings. Theirs and everyone elses. He may be a really switched on Libra as they can be quite astute about how comfortable others are.

        But I’m with scorpy … just ask and say you’re into astro. Just don’t stick your tongue down his throat. That would look BAD. ;)

      Cripes prowln. Good luck with the Hessian Sack Diet!!!
      Too gourmet… pffft! Food is not just nutrition it is also joy, aesthetics, sensual pleasure, nourishment for the soul, aromatherapy, creativity… Yes, I know, tell you something you DON’T already know! You were right on with the Virgo prediction ha ha. Virgo PT, Virgo neighbour. Mmmm, you’re attracting them. I wonder why?

      Must say I am SO impressed by you and LL getting personal trainers and your commitment to caring for your lovely bods. Go gettem’ girls!

        LOL … hessian sack diet. Well I am allowed condiments with no fat like chilli and garlic and soy sauce and stuff. So flavour hasn’t been completely obliterated. But yeah anytime I need outside helpers, up pops a friendly neighbourhood Virgo ready and willing with the right skill base to politely tell me exactly what I need to do. Isn’t that just handy dandy? For some reason I actually listen to the Virgo’s advice whereas with others I might just nod politely and secretly think “oh fuq off and leave me alone” .. hehehe

        And with 8 months of Leo Mars I can’t think of a better time for such a regime.

          I’m finding lemon grass and chilli a good clean taste too.

          I’ve been sensing/thinking/doing towards a if not now, when style embracing of Leo Mars…

          I also had a re-read of style options listed above and thought I skimmed over the gin drinking well groomed mode because well that’s my baseline. Am currently downplaying booze in favour of exercise though…may break out a little after a Virgo art friends show though.

    OH MY F*CKING GOD MYSTIC THANK YOU are you reading my (our) MIND?

    see, the BEST posts always happen after i leave work for the day – i am so glad i jumped online.

    On the weekend I learnt what a complete C*** (yes THAT word trust me it’s fitting and yes i know it’s a holy (*lol*) part of the anatomy but TRUST ME HE IS ONE……

    the toro! now the lying two-faced just crawled out from beneath a shit-covered rock Toro, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i want to maim his pretty face with nasty things.

    it’s OK if i vent the mars-pluto stuff here right?? sorry everyone who is of more delicate leanings. and I know others have had WAY worse times than me as they have detailed on these pages. Not detracting from that one bit. but OMG.

    I think I will have to try option 2, mega Zen Leo (if i’m MAD AS HELL I might as well LOOK HOT) with some (1) mega Zen scorp, if i can manage an energy level that evolved…and also (5) pity and crystals once i calm TF down.
    gggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrfffffffffooooooooooooo…. breathing out now.

    ok so that’s a pisces wigging out . i am off to dinner with my New Pisces Friend. we’re gonna compare notes. and sharpen some sticks. god what a creep.

    thanks for reading if you made it this far. xx

    Oh wow so your Saturn in Virgo lesson?

    Or just the flamboyant (Mars in Leo) exposure of secrets (Sun in Scorpio)?

    Wow – t’is better out than in…And yah, living well is the best revenge. So true. Live REAL well. Stun him by the speed of your recovery.

      saturn/virgo is my 3rd house…..i’ve workshopped all the lessons – communication, networks, neighbourhood, whatever but you know? to be honest I think it’s the Mars in Cancer that’s been really drilling me. Since that’s my 1st house it really has been all about “fight for your right” – to exist, to have faith in yourself, to not put up with someone’s shit (even though I DID !#$%)……

      I am so furious…he’s put my health at risk, HOW did I not wake up to what a pig he was. (maybe that’s Pluto in Cap getting into gear). always better off knowing, eyes wide open etc but STILL.

      don’t you worry all the gym work is paying off bigtime, living well = best revenge is one of my mottos…just such utter disrespect…what more can i say

        Yesh i was pretty out-there in my post above – I do happen to love a good yell…given the right motivation…you should have hear me on the phone to my sister – they would have heard me 2 streets away…!! oops :)

        it was just the last straw girls – my own fault for giving him so many chances when I should have checked out after round 2 (rather than round 20) . And the today’s Daily Mystic was good re advice – how can i restructure things so this doesn’t happen again! It’s all about clear communication, and those (dammit) boundaries.

          UP it’s a horrible stage, finding out all the hidden betrayals…the false trust, the feeling that you’ve betrayed yourself for believing things that seemed true till you see just how off the mark you were.

          I echo UV in wishing you clear results healthwise…and emotionally all that anger can really propel you to a much more positive place too. Within the hurt you express above, I see you being much firmer about your right to be respected, not leave things unsaid, and clearly create lines to not be crossed. I’d wish you good luck, but I think you’re creating your own good management…

    Thank you for this post. I’m suffering today and was wondering why. Thought it might be the last days of Saturn in Virgo kicking me in the teeth to make sure I don’t forget what I’ve learned but maybe Mars can take same blame too. I’m going to channel Venus-Jupiter and go with compassionate thoughts towards others. Might make feel better to stop thinking (sulking/wallowing) about myself for 2 seconds Ha!.

        That must be what I’ve been doing. How stupid of me. I do have a subscription to both but a very sick child means that I’ve pretty much read a weeks worth of both today in between sulking myself about how crap life is and constantly dealing out asthma meds. Sorry about that.

    i am- suprisingly- totally venus jupiter this time round. i was BLESSING PEOPLE AS I WAS DRIVING. Yes, i know. bizarro land. ive been thinking loving thoughts of the ex, of anyone i can think of in some inspired attempt to cleanse my karma/soul, and have this gorgeous clean slate come saturn in libra.
    feeling utterly blissed out and kinda at peace with it all.
    after years of pluto, then saturn in 5th, this is a pretty good place to be for the moment.

    my goodbye saturn in virgo lesson has been totally empowering myself re: boundaries in my romantic and creative life this week. saturn girl with a hint of flower power hippy chick swanning round….

          I had a slightly weird reaction in the rain forest the other day…saw this woman walking towards me, I smiled politely and then she looked at me fully and I instantly went…’argh, need white light nowwww…’ It was like looking up and seeing someone in an extra shadow…after my instant selfdefense white light thought, I sort of went for the non-imposing blessing… but it was one of those whoa moments.

            I’ve had people in the past say well within earshot “look at the size of it” even to themselves. Stuns one, hard to come back from.

          2. Leonine Librarian’s avatar

            Um I’m not sure if I’m understanding properly Savannah, because seeing this woman wasn’t so much a size issue, more an energy thing…

            Although you may have an amazing aura that people are remarking on?

          3. Savannah’s avatar

            Oh I wish LL! It was said by people that would have a ratty aura themselves. It was heart breaking at times especially when medication & disease cause. It was a fuqt up hard journey being ‘obese’.

    I’m totally feeling the 6 atm, isn’t a system I’m not prepared to explore and incorporate into my own system…gawd I’m analysing them against 6 senses, and testing against audial, visual and kinetic understanding.

    I’m also a little bit sterner in a it may hurt now, but it is for your own good in the long run, uber bracing way too…of myself or anyone…

    i was very glad for the nightly for today suggesting i was going to whig out re work stuff in some way. luckily I work from home, so whigging out was at myself (mars is still on my mars), was feeling mega coffee wired and like i suddenly had to massively change my working environment – eg stop working from home (would that be saturn getting ready to shift from gem H4?), although I so cannot afford to rent an office.
    Much internal conversation, and reminders to myself to not angst out/make rash decisions/breathe etc.
    Only calm moment of the day was when I went and helped organise a CD library, culling to make new space. It was very soothing, I almost wanted to dust. Preparing myself for another day of contemplating the work thing tomorrow. Saturn in virgo in 2nd/4th so wants me to develop some work structure. It’d be nice if uranus would kick in some (more) other peoples money to fund the bloody thing.
    I expect the only calm moment of tomorrow will be when I go help kids learn to read. If nothing else I’ve at least structured in some soothing other-oriented escapes.

    Whilst I totally love Out of Africa – I can recite the entire script – this Aries in love with a Sagg is full of love and lust and just trying to get through every day. Shocker last week with a shock death, major shifts at work, pressure from all sides and the Libran mother’s birthday.

    And you know what? I seem to have got through it OK. What does this say about me? Finally gone totally cuckoo????

    I like the option to indulge in a bit of conspiracy theorizing myself—-sometimes a conspiracy “theory” turns out to be an authentic conspiracy. (Natal Mercury in Scorpio )

    Yes absolutely, have been going on a drug-free mind trip lately reading up on various conspiracy theories, but they seem so real!

    That’s why I’m not sure it’s a good Zen Scorp thing to do, as it can really destabilise you a bit. The real nature of reality for those who seek it, can be quite heavy.

    Just absolutely love that Coyote…think of him everytime I get frustrated about something and want some acme style solution to amazingly arrive in the desert even though I don’t have an address.
    Have pondered the options for 5 secs ..in true Saturn leaving Virgo and Mars in Leo style and thanks to Mystic ..already have a cunning plan. Am doing the Saturn in Virgo option and a Zen style lesson reconciliation…I must do tax as I will have Mars in Leo up my arse in the form of the tax dept. Must work Saturn in Virgo for new regime and then celebrate with Moon in Leo style metamorphosis into warrior woman with great hair and a big heart and not giving a shit about what twits have to say because they are consumed with jealousy or their ego.
    Happy astro travel to all….it is big and fabulous at the moment and perfect for riding the wave of change and bbreaking the shackles of the past and passe..
