Shit Not To Do On This Full Moon Weekend
Full Moon in Kataka emotions need delicate, carefully calibrated handling. You want to avoid letting neediness or failure to correctly interpret your psychic urges drive you into scenarios you are actually not that into…anymore.
Particularly with the strong Neptunian undertow active at the moment.
You get this, yes?
HA ….Thanks for the reminder. Fabulous pictures.
playing it low key. Staying in my neighborhood.
Eating so much chocolate gluten free dairy free cake though….I need it.
oh yea…..for now i am Catfish Moon….for my leo moon in the 12th house.
pig out…..check…..ate 2/3 of a chocolate cake in the last 24 hours. I don’t even eat grains hardly anymore(that includes corn. Only rarely rice). The cake was GF, but still….
get emo about my past victimhood….check….but only for a few minutes. I thought of one of the truly abusive things my ex did to me and I cried, and cried out….how could you have done that to me?????????
I hate him when I think of that moment….
thought of rounding up some douche ex just to pass some lonely time with …..check….but no, no way in hell am I doing that.
so home friday night alone. Did go to coffee shop where woman was so getting her moon in gemini on…verbal diarhea of the mouth. Horrible. I mean off the charts movie style wouldn’t shut up even with food all in her mouth.
note to self….don’t fry brain.
Well, I was just going to sequester myself off into Moon Land by my lonesome with naught but my books and papers, ruminations and rest. I somewhat feared eating half the kitchen, but seeing as I’ve emptied it of all but the drastically healthy things, I may just be ascetic after all.
Hmm, temptations to have the Ramekin Virgo come round but frankly I can’t be bothered to even banter. I read somewhere that it’s now become popular advice for men that “if you don’t know what to do, ignore her”. I think I’m certainly giving that a spin this weekend. He has Mars in Scorp, and if I understand correctly that placement has no respect for neediness.
Or am I wrong? I wish I cared more?
Hey fallenangel – As a Virgo woman with Mars in Scorp – I agree, have little patience with neediness – including my own. Found myself venturing down that path this morning before reading Mystic’s post…good to know it is the Kanataka moon, will paddle but not wallow.
Hi fallen, as a Scorp Sun with Scorp Mars AND Scorp Venus, I can tell you that YES, it could be the Scorp Mars that has no respect for neediness. I know that I’m this way, which could also be a Sag Rising thing, but when a guy becomes clingy and needy I immediately cringe and pull away. There’s just something about neediness that makes me soooo uncomfortable. It could be a Scorpio privacy thing, there’s a strong dislike for people who hover or don’t understand the concept of personal space or alone time. It’s nice to be needed, but co-dependency is a major turn off, both in lovers and friends.
Actually I haven’t read it but I seem to know something of this also Angel. Not sure where it has come from.
I imagine Mars in Scorpio would be exactly that, and possibly annoyed that it was thrust upon should that occur.
In addition to that the ‘blank text’ … it means I”m not talking to you!!
For me it means I’ve done something dumb on my phone and hit send by accident LOL…getting savvy (??) with modern communication:)
I don’t know what other’s here think about this, but it isn’t all the new (in my opinion) for men to “if you don’t know what to do, ignore her”. Women do this too now and that is new. Is this other people’s experience?
Love the old school NO vibe. You be callin some cajun voodoo with that name!
That for Miss Catfish.
all about the cajun voodoo!!!
thanks mill.
Epic levels of cranky today, feeling guilty for going low Scorp so I’m sequestered away in my bedroom with the radio and cat.
I hear ya honey.
Bloody Crabby Moon!
My dreams have been so intense the past few nights – bringing things to light I’d much prefer to keep down in my comfy Scorpy dark…
- and now I’m all ‘Boo- Hoo…’
I HATE THAT!
I’d much rather feel cranky and feisty, than succumb to all this emo fuqin wishy washy WAAAH!
Where’s that damned box of Lindt Balls…
I hear you Charley & Zaiborg. Epic crankiness for weeks now! I just put it down to Pluto on my Asc and Saturn on my MC.
Fuckin great! I’ve had nothing but Saturn transits since 1997! It was on my Virgo stellium then with Pluto in Sagg on my moon at the same time.
Then Saturn on Venus Libra and MC. I know you have heaps of Libra in your chart as well. We’ve got Saturn in Scorp to look forward to this year. Once Saturn completes his work on my Sun & Merc he’ll move onto my Saggo moon waaaaaaaaaaa
Oh well, at least I know I’m alive when I’m cranky, even though I’m not much fun to be around right. It’s when I don’t have the energy to be pissed off that I start to worry… but I’ve had a few of those episodes too.
Snap, Saturn in Scorp on my Sun, Merc, Uranus and then Saturn in Sag on my Moon, Mars, Neptune. Woo hoo fun times never end. I’m cranky because I thought 2012 was going to be easier transit wise but apparently not so much. Does everyone have hard transits all the time? When is it ever easy???????
You have Sagg moon too! Hehe. Saturn on your Saturn – that means you’ll have your Saturn return? I had mine many years ago. Had a great time. Was in a job I loved and had just bought an apartment (mortgage responsibilities satisfied Saturn).
I don’t know if it ever gets easy. I realised the other day that I have a planet in every sign except Aries, Leo & Cancer but of course those 3 signs are opposite my venus, Saturn & rising, so there’s always something going on! *sigh*
Yes, jolly old Sag moon haha. Just had my Saturn return and Saturn on Venus, a good learning experience all round. Feeling the benefits of post SR in lots of ways, it’s nice actually. I only have planets in 3 signs and 3 houses, Libra all in the 7th, Sag all in the 9th, Scorp all in the 8th and a nice Aries ASC just for a bit of change. Means I constantly aspect people and have constant transits of a difficult nature. Bit of a pain.
But also maybe then transits of a good nature. How lovely to have lots of Libra in the 7th, Sagg 9th and Scorp 8th! Perfect and sounds like lots of fun.
Can I join the cranky train too? I’m right there with you, have Saturn transiting only a few degrees from being right on top of Sun in Scorp, and shortly after that my Uranus, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Blah! When will Saturn be OUT of Scorpio? I’ll throw a party when it teams up with my Neptune in Sag Rising.
Meanwhile I’m trying to deal with the cranky in a disciplined Saturn-like way. Had left over gift money from Christmas and instead of spending it on frivolous fashion or new techie toys, I bought socks and undies, then went to the health food store and got bee pollen, ginseng, Vitamin B and flax seed oil. Hoping that it’ll help with the low energy and the moodiness. The new socks and undies help with that too. Virgo Moon has a bit of a new sock fetish.
Saturn isn’t in Scorpio, it’s in Libra, and goes retro soon. You’ve got at least 2 1/2 years to wait till it gets into Sagg.
I know it’s currently in Libra, but was thinking ahead. I had forgotten about the retro though. I’m never any good at figuring out the transit schedule, but with Saturn it can’t hurt to start thinking ahead of time and to be prepared.
Hey charley, did you know you’ve got every house ruler on the cusp belonging to their natural house? don’t overlook that. Aries 1st, taurus 2nd excetera, these are all in their natural homes.
Yes! Except I have Cancer in the 4th/5th and Cap in 10th/11th so intercepted Virgo/Pisces axis. I agree with all my planets in 3 signs and all of them in the ‘home’ houses and the Aries rising it makes for an intensely focused chart. I still haven’t really worked out what it means or how to use it.
You’ve got a goody-bag treasure trove to discover, do your research on it Charley (it’s like Charley and Choc Factory – you’ve got one of those gold tickets that can take you on a journey). I remember when learning charts to look at planets in exaltation, fall, debilities etc. and there were always points to add/tick where there are planets in their own natural house, and house of ruler of exaltation. I think it may mean that your planet functions well and is comfortable in those houses, but I am just an astro-fiend, I am not entirely sure.
I am like a virgo lately because I am behaving more and more like one each day. I think it’s mars in virgo??? Also, I am 2 parts virgo and 1 part balancing scales (libra balancing virgo and scorpio).
Have fun with your chart details!! (see – details oriented, i’m like a virgo more than i should be Lol) xo
I’ve had the feeling on and off just wanting to be alone.
Not outright crankiness. I heed the warning and ho hide with my art supplies, stacks of books.
I feel half and half today. It’s beautiful and sunny out so, don’t wanna hide inside but still want to avoid noisy, crowds. I feel a bit zen noir dark hippie as MM coined the term. (I love it).
Reading through my 2009 Astroscape book by MM. Did she make a new book? I loved it to death.
Well after a couple days floored by unwellness i’ve planned to catch up with friend from interstate, move some furniture, run errands, do lunch and pick up my car from where it was left. So far i’ve exercised, cleaned the bathroom kitchen, changed the linen, jotted some creative ideas. Have a number of other plans but we’ll see where the energy takes me. A Virgo last night said don’t overdo it…moi? I figure if i’m hanging out with a Taurus that’s doing Full Moon in Kataka a bit, no?
Turns out i was hanging with an Aqua
*lol
I feel this vibe strongly right now, thought I was doing a back flip on a few relationships. Thanks mystic I’m getting a grip, haven’t said or done anything. Just been swirling about in my head & heart.
Cancer Rising. Will let the full moon do some healin’. Have a feelin’ ma dance card will be full soon, must discriminate who I want to spend time with.
Onya Lucy! Full dance card-great way to put it
Thanks for the red alert…after intense flirting yesterday with serene but passionate and keen new Leo , who woke me with a sweet text at 7:30 am today, a saturday!!!!….will pullback til the full moon is past. If I can…that seems high neptune aka WISE
Make sure you don’t ignore your Leo though! Ignore at your peril!
HA! so true that!!!
purposely created distance with a leo today, he is appealing, but has a lady. So avoid, create distance.
So…Venus and Mars in Kataka….I just arranged a meetup with neo leo tonight…this Venus/Mars/Moon could be gold card entry to fab things tonight or misery on monday….taking the risk… The power of now can be very sexy. If I see or hear myself doing my old routine I will get out fast!
Good luck and hope ya have fun!
me too, go for solid gold fun with the leo!!
Wiil be on my 18 degree sun…been channeling heartbreak, emotions and sadness into music and gym classes. Feng shui home also. Just have to try not to carb myself with mac and cheese and muffins!!! lolololol
I really dislike Crab Moons a lot.
grrr.
It is exactly on my natal moon. Any sympathy shall be gratefully received.
HA you are cracking me up this evening!
falling between my sun and saturn.
yes…i could use some smpathy as well.
Oh not the people of the Crab Moons unless you are a man I’m dating…
The transit is super-emo for me for some reason.
I hear you Fox!!
They are so hard on me!
I think they are trying to soften me up, but I just don’t GET how to be a Crab, even temporarily…..
That’s a Crab Moon? It’s not worth it . . . maybe it’s time to pull up the carpet. That’ll keep me busy.
anything unresolved will rear up. Carpet pulling sounds good!!
Glad I read this, I realllly needed this advice. Have spent the last few days far from home with my boyfriends family and am at the end of my tether, they are driving me so fuqing nuts. For long and involved reasons I cannot up & leave where I am, but I strongly want to. I’m so p!ssed off with their selfish behaviour I want to break up with my bf for not standing up to them. I’ll just hold my peace, I only have to get through today. I am so frustrated and angry……
LJ.. that’s shitty
Maybe you can leave on the inside if not able to externally.. or at least try. Go someplace nice inside you and adopt the ‘garbage in.. garbage out’ strategy with all useless and pointless words or behaviours that irritate and who knows.. but I hope this happens for you.. it may even start to look amusing and not tough to deal with. If that happens you’re gonna have a good time.. but yes, it’ll be a little like a private party. I’ve been cultivating that skill for years to make intolerable situations better. I don’t always get it right but when it works it’s fab.
I have had bf’s do this. One time with an old Italian bf years ago we’re at dinner at his parents.. other rello’s over too. They’re all banging on at table in Italian. I get smidges but not much. I ask bf for a translation on something his mum said whilst looking at me. He went to answer. She shut him down and told him, me and everyone that if I wanted to know what she said I should learn Italian.. and the conversation resumed. He went quiet and sheepishly kept eating. He did not explain, did not defend, did nothing but go along with her wishes. Embarassing and hurtful.
Thanks so much, : ) I am proud to say I got through it. I did have a little retreat inside myself, at one point I forgot they were even there!. I have had a bit of a chat with my bf about it, so at least he knows how it was for me. I don’t think I can spend a lot of time with them again and told him next time don’t count me in.
Good for you!
LJ, I lived what you went through re in-laws for what felt like eternity. Strangely things did evolve once my kids were of an age. My parents-in/law saw me through our children ( there grandkids). We are now close despite the fact I’ve not been living with their father since 2007. They have evolved and generously give me credit where credit’s due. Ditto two of his four sister’s and their partners. Christmases are interesting
my pt being: don’t ride them off yet.
Sounds like a deal breaker. Who wants to marry into a rude family? No way…run fast.
I dumped a guy after visiting his parents in San Diego and friends. They were all obsessed with money and malls. I wanted to go to the beach and enjoy nature they complained and wanted to stay in the mall the entire trip.
It was a deal-breaker. I am so glad I didn’t marry the guy or have kids with him. Yuppie mom and vapid friends were unbearable.
His hippie dad that no one liked was super cool though. He told me not to date his yuppie asshole fake artist son. He was 100% right.
That’s crazy! Who wants to spend time in a mall?! Breaking out in hives just thinking about it. I always make a mental list of what I need, so im in and out real quick (moon in Sagg), otherwise I feel my brain cells slowly dying.
Cool dad though
I just don’t wanna go to a mall on vacation unless there’s no other options.
I love the beach in San Diego but, they were bored of it.
ugh…I see the trip as an eye opener and ran away.
He hasn’t changed nor his family still obsessed with money and blow and shopping at malls pretending to be artists but only into yuppie art. ugh…
Had a massive, blow-up teary fight with my ex at 7am. Fun. All resolved now, but…jesus. Hope that’s me done with the full moon.
eeek. glad you ok.. its hard xxxx
I’m still working on my astrology knowledge, but I do know that as a Cancer sun, cap moon full moons usuay knock me around. I have been unable to sleep for the past week and the silky la-la’s reared their head unexpectedly last night. Reading this was an aha! Moment. Thanks for the heads up. I needed the reminder to hanker down – especially with certain people!
I had several wonderful surprises fall into my lap today: unanticipated money & conversation, gorgeous weather, and a brilliant dollar-saving strategy. I have no reason but to expect more of the same. To answer an earlier question you posed, archetype? More like conglomerate.
Love your name ~ ‘Scorporation Inc’
Whilst I did go to bed late I actually slept in!! Yay!! My first success after many thwarted attempts. I have been trying to give my bod that break for weeks.
I have a few friends wanting to hang but I don’t feel like bantering at all using my real voice.. fingers and mind are fine as it’s a bit like telepathic comms. I want to keep the serious conversations to myself during this w/end so that means I’m deflecting contact today.
I have rehearsal tomorrow so the voice will get used enough, first one back after the holidays.
I have a catch up with a good friend I’ve not seen much of on Monday afternoon.
For me that will be plenty of people activity. I’d rather reflect and continue to energise my visions and purge remnants of old that are stuck to my heel like dirty toilet paper from a nightclub loo
This so resonates. I had to nurse myself to sleep last night like a baby. Woke this morning and joined with a friend who had a similar experience, but I asked that we just keep quiet, read and listen to Bondi FM on my translated radio. Perfect. Then hit the surf and screamed my guts out beneath the surface. Best self medication and attunement – ever. Mystic, you are AMAZING.
Hope you are feeling better. I agree, exercise in the water is one of THE best ways to deal with life – especially since it is a watery, cancerian full moon. Go you!
Oh, well, aah, yes. So much for the birthday party. So shoulda read this yesterday…
Happiest of birthdays to you beautiful man! Am sure a party could be full of happy natsukashii moments (japanese for looking back with fond memories on the past)… Ran a full moon party for a number of years and we never had anything but good times and barely a disagreement occurred at our gigs – despite the amount of coke/weapons etc available where I lived (!). So party on, your knightly cappiness shields you in light and love, am sure of it, xx.
Happy big day lex. Have fab day for yourself.
happy birthday beautiful. many happy returns x
Happy birthday Lex!
Happy Birthday!
Full moon party doesn’t sound too bad from where I sit! Happy birthday to you & hope the celebrations are suitably dionysian.
Happy Solar Return, Lexi.

Oh wow, thanks everyone, how sweet of you!
Yes I am very lucky to have such beautiful amazing people in my life who gave me a gorgeous birthday, full moon, tequila and all! It was just great. xx
Oh Cripes Lex! Sorry I missed it. Does having one’s head stuck in a certain orifice count as an excuse? Happy Belated Birthday/Festival of Lexival! Sexxy Lexxy Cappy polymath hot boy! Big Virgo hugs to you! And yes I’m in my birthday suit. Especially.
Twas me, BTW.
Lol, Virgo’s are always in birthday suits aren’t they?!
Happy belated birthday Lexi boy hope it was a good one
I’ve had a shhheeeet few weeks, and last night had a rather unexpected and unpleasant conversation with a friend over stuff I’d thought was done and dusted, a convo that brought up all kinds of trust, shame and fear stuff from years ago. It was a doozy and a good lesson in not going backwards but also in facing the fact I haven’t dealt, just bottled. Cut to me sitting awake freaking out and wondering how to fix things and whether it was even worth trying. Rattled, yes.
So today I’m heading out to a good friend’s place (with whom there are no issues) to drink tea and hang with her animals. *exhale*
Dear Cat,
I don’t thin Mystic will mind be posting this from her dailies last week, (fingers crossed ), i have quite the dubious past past, and these words she posted resonated…
“I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind’s door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends…”
Joan Didion
xxx Hope it’s a lovely warm day with your friend and her animals ..x
sh*t sorry for all my typos – shocking typer, mind too fast for fingers. x
Ain’t it the truth! Very good reminder. Now self-forgiveness, if only there was an easy route…
Thank you, the afternoon with my friend and the menagerie was exactly what I needed. Spending time at her place always makes me feel better.
But my cat (who is half angel and half, uh, not) has been just adorable and sweet and snuggly. They seem to know when we need that, hey.
Hope it’s the storm before the sun for you!
They do. And thank you- me too!
Cats really are super cool!
They certainly are.
Well, it’s a bit late for this warning. Last night I lost my temper completely with my husband as he teased me about something. Threw a couple of things at him which missed so picked up a book, went over and whacked him around the head a couple of times. It felt terrific, I might get addicted to these hissy fits. The trouble is, he was rolling around roaring with laughter all the time, so I couldn’t have looked terribly terrifying. And it’s hard to stay pissed off with someone laughing their head off so I started laughing too.
Hahahahaha… I just lost it reading your post LA!!
Oh LA, it’s offical, I have now put you on a Pedestal ! Love your work Babe !! I’m a thrower from waaay back ! runs in the women of my family’s veins … last thing i smashed when i was fuming at the Piscean (Virgo Moon) was a watermelon, a big juicy whole watermelon, one i really wanted to eat…I was wise enough not to split it on his head though, instead, threw it, with alll my mite, at his feet, and there began the watermelon fight from hell, which did end in stitches, (after he smudged some in my hair, i did relatilate thoug, and he did let me, – maybe it was SN in Leo that found this ”hair” treatment absolutely hysterically funny) .. xx
I love your honesty ”it felt terrific” ! still chuckling.
Very funny! I once dislocated my shoulder attempting to throw a takeaway container full of Thai food at my ex because he had not come home in 3 days. I left in an ambulance.
I also once threw his china dinner plate full of food at the wall in a frisbee motion. Now THAT felt good.
I don’t throw things anymore.
That is so funny. And so true.
Well, I do have to say in all due modesty, that it’s not up to my usual standard. The last time I went into a monumental, throwing snit – just after we met – I threw a chair at my husband. The bastard ducked, again fell around laughing, and reckoned I’d killed the chair because I broke one of the legs. He’ll keep
Oooh I love crab moon, I have crab mc, south node in 9th house, I find it my most nurturing moon, my skin always feels soft, the air feels soft, water is easily absorbed and I have to be in water. Just gifted myself some lovely skin products, am going to keep reading the sevenwaters trilogy all weekend and breathe…. mmmm yum
Yah know its still moon in gemini today! Is aspecting all my gem planets, had a most honourable offer when it was on my Venus this am.
I’m hiding under the bed fpr now and hoping to get work to distract me. In between Im grokking the current sitch to an nth of its life.
Oh darn, its right on my Descendant.
Thats all i need!
Feel’n ok-ish, i guess.
Except i should really be finding a new home to live in & get myself off my friends couch. Have been looking, trawling thru local paper/internet etc. But not much action yet.
Just want to go flea-Market & 2nd hand treaure hunting for my new home today… The one i havent round yet.
I can see it really clearly in my mind’s eye… Now where is it?!
Maybe this will help…
*clicking red sparkly mary-jane’s together*
“There’s no place like home… There’s no place like home… There’s no place like home!”
It’s Friday, 10 at night and I’m ready to go to bed! I went out to eat with my mom and dad…and I’ve been so busy working and being social(the staying up late and that one night I didn’t sleep at all is catching up with me)…that my room looks like a tornado hit it. And I haven’t gone grocery shopping in weeks. And I ran out of deodorant. I keep trying to use…it but it’s like ALL GONE(luckily I don’t really get sweaty). Yes I think it is time for me to take care of my home and self!
Gemini Rising
Aries Sun 11
Scorpio Moon 6
Aquarius Mars 10
Stawr, do you know you can use a slice of lemon or lime
rubbed under your arms as deodorant?
Was shown to me in a place where deodorant was unavailable.
Quad Aries Sun/Moon/Venus/Merc hurr, Gem rising. The only planets I have in any water sign are my pluto (generational scorp), north node (pisces, even though i tend to not like pisces…), and chiron (cancer, ya’ll). Honestly this Cancer full moon I just feel more in tune with the moon and goddess worship in general, in the even flows of life around me. Kinda riding this one out; it feels like I’m paddling down rapids AND I LOVE IT. Seriously. Though my step-sister with sun in Scorpio has been tres bitchy this week, like everything I do I piss her off. She has down’s syndrome, so I can’t fight her properly. I’m not sure HOW my Aries handles walking away and letting her think she’s top dog, but somehow I’ve managed.
Also REALLY hard to not eat everything in the kitchen not nailed down… Insane how hard it is during a cancer moon. :\
yea…so hard not to eat the entire kitchen…pig out!
My Saggo friend was my Cranky Blanky this morning when he called and I was huffy with life. He lets me go grump-grump-grump while exuding Saggy cheerfulness till I feel better. After that, the day was great.
Got stupid drunk with friends after work. Cruised down to the gym with a grumpy hangover to sweat out the sin. Home find an unwell housemate passed out on the couch. Made delish lunch for all. Just finished cleaning christmas and new years out of my house. Going to hang with the family tonight. I am feeling well rounded (in a good way)
Thanks for warning. I had begun to reciprocate for someone who needed me to do so, as old habits die hard. Now I am just backing asway slowly.
(at the risk of sounding stupid) what are psychic urges? How are they different to ‘I have an urge to eat chocolate’? A quick and simple definition from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
An urge to eat chocolate comes from an emotional or physical place. Basically, a psychic urge is feeling you should be doing something, whether generated from the ether, your imagination, your guides, higher self or dead Aunt Sophie.
That was well explained, Dear.

Struggled with the impulse to go out or call friends earlier today just for the sake of being busy, but managed to resist. Got my accounts book out and crunched some numbers. Cooked braised red cabbage, then brown rice with lentils. My flatmate is gently snoring from his afternoon sofa-nap, the breeze is occasionally catching some wind chimes outside the kitchen. The evening light looks stunning in the buildings and trees across the street and for once I don’t feel the need to think (or overthink) about anything.
I’m in heaven!
Thanks MM for the full moon advice.
Was about to break out of the toddler whirlwind that is my house and chillax at the movies… But then I remembered the last eclipse which saw me doing energy work on the cinema as I felt so shit in there. Totally eclipsed the movie experience. Kicking back watching Mad Men season and hoping all the kataka I have in my chart can calm it. Not in a fighting mood!
there is some serious voodoo around at the moment
who do the voodoo that you do so well?
You can certainly say that again! Brought on by other jealous fuqwits. My world has been turned upside down in the last week, plutonic stuff that others would have panicked, no, i’m gonna make it work for me….somehow.
Anyone got any ideas for this cancer moon gal for tomoz night, I have a date with my sweetheart and I’m nervous as not sure what’s in store astrologically for me. He’s a Scorpio sun and I want things to go smooth….
Maybe go out to eat somewhere quiet and cosy and soothing?
I got my full moon upset over and done with a few days ago. So all that was left was to glean the insights over a coffee at my local shopping haunt and be still in peace. This was followed up by a chaser of spending some of my hard earned cash at American Apparel, music, then hours thoroughly cleaning my kitchen, scheming a new future. I can see I let some crap go and made a shift away from things that were not serving me. Now thinking of Greenwich Village and whether or not I should go mid-year. Rainbows of love and forgiveness on my mind.
I’m fully vibing Oscar the Grouch for the last two days. Will either have to pull my head in and close the lid to protect everyone including myself or get onto a healthier expenditure of my energies.
… and why have I been getting vomitrotiously ill and having dumb accidents where I break good stuff only ever since Mercury went direct?! I’ve had it, I really have! *sighs* bye world back into my trashcan until this passes.
don’t even want to look at the remains of the chocolate cake……
and my lady friend arrived this morning! feeling a little run down.
but this crab is going to get up and get going.
So everyone hates cancer moons?
I don’t mind cancer moons….the gem moon void is 2 hours from now for an hour, and then the cancer moon begins…..I dislike Taurus moons the most. The things I have found myself eating on Taurus moons! When the moon goes into Taurus I should tape my mouth shut.
Isnt it weird, and it was a gem moon when they were writing all the posts!
Ah Gem! The power of suggestion. So hanging with the Aqua was spot on. It felt like it. Have to admit i don’t feel emo, more thought-o.
I was cranky yesterday too, so maybe there was some other cranky astro about. Sometimes when there’s a strong aspect coming I do feel it ahead of time. Now that we are safely(?) in Cancer I feel self-nurtury and lovey. It’s in my 8th house, so I guess it’s good I don’t feel like killing anyone.
Cancer Rising here. Leading up to this moon I’ve been feeling a gentleness and a tenderness towards people that I’ve never experienced before. It is at once beautiful and frightening.
How so ? I have a lot of Aries planets. My vulnerability is something I’ve always been suspicious of yet people know me as a kind person and would be surprised.
(although they have always suspected by my loner status, someone is a Miss.)
I spent yesterday evening with two of my closest friends from college with whom I have become re-acquainted in the past few months. I hosted and we had salmon three ways with all sorts of fixins and lemon curd tarts and citrus-coconut snowball cookies for dessert.
And wine, lots of wine….which, in my case, is almost always from Australia
; )
We are meeting in an hour to spend the afternoon getting some aquatic exercise at a local indoor pool (since it is winter here).
I plan on spending the rest of the weekend wandering from sofa to bed with husband, cozy mystery, tarot decks, astro chart, notebook, and cat.
Kataka Moons suit this very Kataka woman, even though I tend to get a bit weepy at times.
sounds fabulously divine and serene Mari, am sending you some cosmic atmosphere accessories of sensual light, fluffiness and elegant swish, so you have even comfort and enjoyment, (yes i’m having neptune transits & fortuna in 5th is ruled by Kataka, and trine north node in Moon 3rd, well that’s ‘my’ excuse )…
i meant ‘atmospheric’, as in blessings, and ‘even more comfort and enjoyment’
shit not to do this weekend? tis easy if you don’t feel like doing much to begin
well, for most of yesterday could not seem to motivate self to do anything…had to force self to stand up and do basics like ‘eat’, ‘brush teeth’, ‘clean’, ‘step away from the computer dammit’ etc. Venus in 12th is really feeling the Neptune warpings just resumed, so i just haven’t been on earth at all last 3 days except for outer reality guest appearances, writing attempts ‘creatively’ getting better tho.
with pisc asc i have so felt all over the shop with this moon, grizzerable melancholy, teariness that wells but too apathetic to ball eyes out, looking ‘compassionately’ at random insects that happen on my desk near the window
then have had fits of ‘suddenly figuring out stuff’…
like a path of maze of MC squares (MC has Sun and Mercury, all squared by Saturn/Chiron/Pis Asc one side, then by Pluto conj Uranus in Virgo in 7th and opposed by Jup in Gem 4th and almost opposed by void moon in Torro 29th deg in 3rd…) so nice i’ve grokked some specificity in real world to sort that problem, which was why got into astro last year and a half basically.
to loitering about on the astrodienst and having OMG karma/destiny dot connections of degrees between several points of another’s and my own natal, progressed and solar arcs degree points and signs…i live by self and i think i’ve said OMG in stunned amazement maybe ten times, (am exaggerating with emotive enthusiasm tendency)…need to figure out if this all means something astrologically or not…might not and then i’m back to square one. lol.
I plan on taking it super easy.
Vibing on the Zen Noir. Staying in working on art, writing, reading and recovering fro the holidaze that completely wiped me out.
Guess I have no choice. Tomorrow, they’re fumigating the entire apartment b/c one side has a rodent/bedbug issue. I’ll have to take the sorry-for-the-inconvenience ten bucks for happy hour tonight after I clear out my room. Typically, I’d go to the big city this weekend, but work doubled on me, so I’m staying home. Wailing at the full Kataka moon.
Zac, what beautiful kissy lips you have
Ha, thanks. Gimme an idea of your natal chart.
She’s a Saucy Saggi Zak !!
Can’t say I feel this full moon much at all – have nothing in Cancer. It’s my 12th house..am I missing something?
Talk about a full moon funk. Glad I saw the cartoon before going with the urge to call the ex. Geeze, would have hugely regretted that down the near road.
no shit…..
wow……the full moon fever has struck. I had multiple friends of mine post on their facebook pages that they are losing their shit. That sucks.
Including my out of state saggy……I had a feeling. Which explains why I haven’t heard from him. And it was a sad and sweet post apologizing to people he has recently hurt and saying he is dealing with a lot. I hope he does. For now I will just keep my supportive distance and gently let him know I still care.
ME? I feel good right now. worked in my yard and basement. Beautiful day. OFf the chocolate cake.
Did get irratated at exscorp boyfriend as I continue over 8 months later to find his garbage that he left in the basement or stuffed somewhere???????? wtf? And he drew or painted on everything so there are constant reminders of him. I am slowly getting it painted over but it just infuriates me. Really? you had to piss on everything. ugh.
Catfish! How irritating when you should be resting your soul! Sounds like the perfect time to re-voodoo your place. Get a little New Orleans vibe into you since that’s the name you chose. Put on some music and listen carefully… you’ll know what to do… no need to read a spell book it’ll spiral right out of you.
thanks Milly. Continueing to work on projects here and every step makes me feel better. Having a huge project that I have been doing that is nearing complition.
Had a fabulous night. Hung with friends and we realized we could be hanging out more often, went home, then had a stray friend stop by. We went cruising and met up with some other folks. I made a new single female friend!!!
Yay…there are not many single people here that are safe to hang with so I am thrilled…
Played music tonight, played the bass, which I don’t play. the 2 guys I were with play guitar and could not believe I didn’t play bass and hadn’t played on one in ages…..
feeling rather proud!!!
Thrilled for you! There’s nothing as grand as making friends, unless of course it is making music with friends.
What a beautiful thing to say
I chuckled reading these comments last night, some funny stuff being fired off, all of which resonated with me as I have been feeling below par for the last few days, laying low and feeling tres tender, for want of understanding why.
I could console myself that I wasn’t having too much of a hard time of it unlike some others here; until just now when I read something I shouldn’t have and now my worst fears have been realised that the karmic crush is leaving town. Bitter tears of sorrow flow for the lack of clarity/resolution and for the complete waste of my time, angst, sleepless nights and mental energy expended over the past two years.
Then I re-read the post again “You want to avoid letting neediness or failure to correctly interpret your psychic urges drive you into scenarios you are actually not that into…anymore”.
Wait, oh, hmm….ding! Hard lesson learnt that I haven’t actually lost anything, that life has few guarantees. I’ve started over with my new life, mission has been accomplished in leaving the bad marriage, so I guess karma has been fulfilled.
** passes lavender scented tissues** feeling it tmgo. I’ve FB stalked and found something I didn’t want to. My FB days are over.
Im on the other side of the fence today feeling sad after letting go of the Lusty (new ex name “the other”) finally. Thank you Full moon in Kataka for the insights and courage to go through with my instincts.
I’ve perked up quite a bit now after the sudden tears (twas FB for me too where I made my grim discovery!)
But letting go is good, yes? At least there are no more loose ends, now just a blank page at the start of a new year and clearing the way for something better to come.
im feeling lots of loose ends and a bit tangled up and confused. i’ve never been the one to break up before so its alien territory I am navigating poorly but will follow the light of the Full moon tonight and howl
It’s a new year & new era Leogroover, time to do things differently perhaps. Take the road less travelled. I think you’re navigating quite well.
Facebook is cited as the reason for one in five divorces!! Thats pretty high. I guess all too easy to get in touch with old flames etc.
Hey, l’groover, proud of you. This’ll sting for a bit, sorry, but you’re doing better than you think. I guess it’s the right moon for it. Big hugs xx
thanks. i am doing ok, i can see the beautiful almost full moon from where I sit and will bask in its wisdom all night. A new year and new way for me fuq yeah DS.
Just read this in the paper today:
“Internet dealers luring users to deadly new party drugs”
… a preview of Neptune in Pisces???
too crazy- yes, that sounds exactly like Neptunian in Pisces weirdness to me.
Nope. Last days of Neptune in Aqua (internet). Nep in Pisces dealers will implant subconscious psychic signals in the limbic systems of the susceptible, who will leave their homes and serendipitously run into the dealer on some random street corner, outside a laundromat or tropical aquarium store.
Hahaha…. of course! That fits too. It’s hard to work out if it’s the end or the beginning. Often things manifest a few weeks before the change over and the article reveals that “the illicit substances are sold under code names or “hidden” black market websites where the identity and location of the buyer is obscured and underground sales can’t be tracked”
“hidden, obscured identity & location” sounds very Pisces to me.
Very Scorpy to me….
Yes, there’s an essence of Pluto to it
“underground sales”… where you can get a good deal on a Pluto transit
Not that I need another one. I’ll hand over all my money just to have a decent Jupiter transit and nothing else for a an entire year… just to remember what it’s like *sigh*
HA…probably~
i’ve been writing a script on this Philip K. Dick -esque scenario. ^_^
i’m not sure where the appropriate place to ask this is so i’m just going to use this most recent post. i adore this blog and have been reading it for a while, but i just don’t know enough about astrology to fully follow everything. does anyone have any recommendations of a way to teach myself about astrology? there’s so much, i have no idea where to start.
I’d like to learn more about astrology too, I only understand from experiencing/feeling the current transits and the rudimentary stuff in my own chart, but have a desire to learn more (the simpler explanation the better!).
first starting point, i would suggest getting your natal/birth chart at astro.com (link is at the side) and log-in as a guest user, enter your d.o.b and time and make use of the free horoscopes section (interactive chart etc.).
secondly, in order not to get overwhelmed – a good starting point once you have the chart is to identify three things. 1) sun sign (what zodiac sign, house, element, mode, planetary ruler, check out the haute-low sign categories, etc.), 2) ascendant, 3) moon sign. These are the three key personal signs and key to your chart – you can do a reading just off these three alone.
Third, after you’ve done one and two starting points, then start exploring aspects (conjunctions, squares, oppositions, trines).
i sound like a teacher – it’s just occurred to me. I’m not, I am a person that is very much like a virgo, that’s all.
have fun!
Like a virgo is right. If you know your time of birth go to Astrodienst and create a birth chart for yourself. Even if you don’t know your time of birth you can still do a chart which is calculated for midday. They will prompt you as you go –it’s really very simple. The first page that will automatically appear after the computer crunches numbers for a few seconds and sends it half way round the world, are the day’s transits. It’s absolutely mind-blowing how quickly all this gets done. At the top of the page go to the ‘Free Horoscopes page’ and scroll down the page to a link for quick access to chart and ascendent. Click on it, click on it again, and print the page out. Look at it for a while. You’ll see the zodiac wheel divided up into 12 ‘houses’, your first house which will be on the left at about 9 o’clock is your rising sign. Take it from there for starters.
Get to know the symbols and glyphs for the planets and signs, it won’t take you too long, they are lovely symbols to practise drawing anyway.
I’ve noticed Astrodienst have started running google ads, which I don’t mind at all (except of course for the content) eg, 10 Ugly Truths Why Men run away is a shocker (or whatever), but I sincerely hope Astrodienst is not going to the wall. They provide an excellent service largely free of charge.
Not sure if this helps, but the best way to start is to get a copy of your chart printed out and look at it, house by house and see how planets link with one another or not. It’s a big subject but it’s a great way to understand yourself a little better and if you take the time to learn about it yourself rather than have someone tell you, it will be that much more rewarding and meaningful for you. Good luck.
I’ll add a debatable point: learn houses before you focus on angles. Leanr everything you can about the houses! Houses are fundamental; you can get way off base if you simple add a sign/planet to an angle because houses are the workplace of that planet/astroid/point –they are the basic geography of your chart. Begin with understanding the “natural” Western/topographic chart and it’s meaning, then begin comparing it to your chart. What’s the spin? What’s the twist? The story is first told by the houses. Houses can tell you how comfortable your planet/point is in it’s placement (is this a good fit or does it feel like it’s in a foreign land/enemy territory?). Knowing which houses represent initiating/grounding/synthesizing stages will tell you a LOT about how effective your planetary placement are.
Here’s an example: I have Uranus and Jupiter conjunct in my ninth house. Even without knowing the sign of the house or these planets, I can tell you that because the ninth house is a synthesizing (mutable) house dedicated to higher thinking and foreign places where nothing’s ever really finished (because –9th house theme– can we ever know THE TRUTH?), I know this person (me) is always going to have a lot of big ideas, grand visions, grand tableaux of the mind (Jupiter), unique perspectives and restlessness (Uranus) –that don’t get grounded in anything! Nothing’s ever finished!
THEN look to the sign ruling the two planets in this very expansive “home” –mine both LIBRA, an initiating sign. ARGH. I am always starting –and am in fact very good at a great many things– but I struggle to get traction for my projects/or get bored with them and drop them. ALWAYS STARTING never finishing. These two cardinal planets in a different house (next door in the career 10th?) would be a whole different game. (TOTALLY. Boom boom! Action placement in an action house? Nice.) Throw in the South Node into my Jupiter/Uranus ninth house, and you get been-there, done-that energy drain. It’s a case of intellectual ADHD, seriously. I have to keep a sharp eye on my ninth house.
Speaking of, I’m on the i’net (9th house) distracted by this question, when I need to be somewhere else!
Have fun learning the astro! Oh, sign up for David Roell’s Astrology America newsletter. He’s a curmudgeonly sort, but he teaches charts (for free) brick by brick.
thanks for this weathergirl. Dave’s really cool i’ve found.
Michael Lutin is my other fave astrologer. He manages to nail transits with just one image. Great sense of humour too!
Thanks to all above for the astro 101 tips – I have cut and pasted into a document for later reading/research and every attempt to learn something new.
Now to get this moon out of the way after a burning ritual I plan later tonight.
Northernwind,
Check out Kim falconer’s web site too. She has all the need-to-know / must-read on archetypes, mythology, and the full moon scopes are brilliant!
What is your Rising, Sun and Moon? Find out Venus, Mercury, Mars (personal planets). Any outer planets (Uranus, Jupiter, Pluto, Node, saturn) conjuncting your personal one’s add extra ooph.
Good luck with it all and have fun!
Cafeastrology.com has really useful information also.
Full moon conjunct my Lilith in Cancer. Feeling extra icy — in a good way.
Playing it cool, doing a phone and email fast. Went on a date last night and opted for tea instead of wine and ate papaya salad to help w pms bloat. I’m so proud of myself, usually I’m textbook full moon psycho!
Well I am back and reading my scopes – Mystic how did you know Leo’s / I would be back at work today?
Sporting a new look (hair, clothes, smile, atitude, drive) and doing saturn-girl-lovely-libran, as best I can. Full-moon will be conjunct my Mars this evening.
Mystic, will you be doing Phoenix and other charts, astro queries again this year? Astro book 2012? xo
astro book 2013 is what I meant.
Full moon in Cancer perfect activity: bathing a baby!!!
Oh my… this actually happened to me, on this exact day.
Well it was Jan. 6th about midnight.
Best hookup ever that would NEVER happen again… </3
