Crashingly Pisces
Crashingly Beautiful – the tumblr of Luke Storms - is THE Dark Moon destination.
Or definitely mine anyway.
I love it for any Zen Noire Mood whatsoever.
His bio says he’s revels “in the high and the low, oscillating somewhere between a love for Gothic cathedrals and a mysterious veneration for seedy bars with neon signs….”
I thought Pisces, emailed him to say basically “are you Pisces?” and voila – yes he is.
High-Low oscillation is always crashingly Pisces.
perhaps because tedious judge-y types tend to avoid both?
there’s poetry in them thar places.
His tumblr selections make me pause and breathe.
I’m crashingly in love with Luke Storms. Thanks again Mystic. XO
“To this day he still hasn’t fully given up the idea that if you wish for something hard enough, it may open a door to the miraculous.” (from ‘about’ on his blog)
that is v.piscean as well – or maybe mutable sign trait?
I love his blog too. He is also the online editor of Parabola Magazine. There’s nothing more Piscean than that imo! He’s a lovely man. Been friends with him on FB for a while.
I love Parabola! I used to have a subscription years ago and still have a lot of the issues. Little gems of knowledge tucked inside everyone of them.
I love that publication too. So inspiring.
Maybe mutable. As a gemini I tend to do imagine huge successes and then get really disillusioned when it doesn’t happen. Imagination can be so cruel sometimes. Why can’t life be like it is inside my head (well the good stuff anyway). LOL.
LOL! Being fixed and card I can not relate.
Omg, I a a pisces who swears I might be a tad bi-polar- not so much in the need to be medicated way, but more in the all or nothing kind of way. I’m in or I’m out, I’m Kate Perrying hot or cold- based on mood, burn out or infatuation status. I also have to ask Mystic… I swear i’m so pisces that I’m not meant to have feet. I have a lifetime history of feet and ankle injuries- walking on broken glass, double bone breakages, more sprains twists and fractures than you can mention, ingrown and infected nails, major surgeries ( from mosquito bites on feet of all fuqing things) and I mention this because here I am *a-gain* with strapping ice elevation and mostly frustation from falling down stairs. Small household talk of taking out the rubbish- large piscean frustation. WTF. Is this typical or am I just weird?
Poor thing! Do you think the combination with wherever your Capricorn is (structure, bones) creates this sensitivity for you? What is in your 6th house? What’s in the 12th? Or 10th?
Thanks for the wishes milleunaotte. I checked my chart- nothing I can see in any of these- no 6th, 10th or 12th. I’m heavy on 9th and 11th… Crashing pisces indeed….
BTW- cap is rising sign…
Other planets in Pisces or Cap houses, or hard aspects? Oh god the more i think of your troubles the more my feet cringe. You really ought to have a butler to take care of the household duties, dear Fishngoat. Do you have a beautician to regularly treat your feet? It may seem a luxury but in your case i think the suffering of your little pieds must be honoured with regular gentleness. Perhaps your gait needs testing. Take care, rest easy xx
A friend of mine who is fast becoming an ex-friend is pisces. Even as I gem I can’t handle the up, down, sideways always looking for the next shiney thing. I actually suspect she really is the MEDICATED bi-polar kind. Currently is hitting the blue devil hoochie juice and space dust hard. She is out of control.
* Not that ALL pisceans are like this.
So please don’t imagine that I believe that.
Growing up as a little fish, possibly still growing up, felt so out of time, at once in the ancient past and the half glimpsed future, and even in the present not being in the odd boxed moments that folk defined as Now. This year has brought so many gifts for Pisces…Neptune into its sign, and now as we finish the Sun’s time we shall have a new moon in Pisces. Or it’s just my age. Or it’s finding a blog created by a Piscean, anything but wishywashy as we are so often mistaken to be. Luke Storm’s tumblr makes me smile. Well, what is home. Just as i was about to open this page on the web i heard these words clear as a bell in a woman’s voice, “You have a full life ahead of you.”
ooo, love those words that pop into our heads unbidden and full of the perfect amount of love and clarity. blessed are thee, mille xxx
I like him! I love Pisces! His site is lovely!
Really, I am a pisces in so many ways. I know it is my venus and moon in the 12th.
I am feeling this dark moon energy…As a Kataka sun, the moon takes me on her voyages with her, sometimes against my will. The gloom really hit yesterday, with tweaking from my Aqua son and I. The same realization again about my dear friend which left me feeling more alone and sad. Feeling alone and loney, not sure if crush is bad for me or not so not acting on it, yet. Now off to work.
hugs catfishy xx
Thanks dear.
LOL…I wrote loney instead of lonely.
Today was better/ same but different. The scorpio and kataka couple I work with were argueing, so no fun to be around. Plus belly sick. I left early. My son and I are calmer,my friend stepped up to help me, and the new crush saw me from afar and waved and smiled.
Not feeling as alone after all…..
a smile and wave….
that would be enough to lift my spirits too.
yes! Twas nice to turn my head towards where he was and see him looking at me.
I’m feeling it too… ’tis a very gloomy one.
Was reading Astrobazza this morning:
“The retrograde Mars in Virgo reaches its precise square to the lunar nodes, currently situated on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis, on the day of the equinox. (Any planet squaring the nodes is said to be ‘at the bends’.) ”
No wonder!! True Node is smack bang conjunct my Moon too. Always feel gloomy when anything hits my Sagg south node in 12th.
Time to take it easy…
Well, “at the bends” explains my belly today.
Hope things brighten up for you. It does feel like such a time to curl up at home. I am hoping my kids get a snow day tomorrow.
I love his site. Whenever I feel down I go there and always find something that connects with the source of my sorrow, then I’m able to write it out. His site is magical for me.
I love the first line of Jiddu Krishnamurti wisdom piece…
– The self is a problem that thought cannot resolve –
Amazing!
You know, I always enjoy reading your comments. You excel in the art of being thoughtful, bouncy and light, like the tickle of a feather to the brain.
Really?! Thanks for saying harp!
I enjoy reading your comments also!! xx
cool, no worries. are you going to do something on Boy & bear on your aus music list thing you do on your blog? they won all those arias, did a cool cover of empire of the sun song on jjj
I am indeed! I love them!
I am currently obsessed with Seeker Lover Keeper…
That’s way cool. cute lyrics.
like Barry Otto – a great actor.
I didn’t know Blasko had formed a trio.
Hey, I heard a rumour of doubtful and uncertain truth – someone teling me from what they had read or read between the lines from a publication – that Blasko was meant to be in the Gyote hit (was cast prior to Kimbra). That’d sound totally different, if that had happened like that, supposing it may have or could have.
Wow! Really?! Now that would have been a totally different song!
I think Kimbra is brilliant in it even though her part is small she has really made it her own! I would like to see what she does with her next album her debut album hasn’t been as successful as that song. What do you think??
Sarah Blasko is as much of an enigma as Goyte – I can’t help but think they have been too much “alike”
Oooh, sorry for delayed reply I didn’t see you’d posted.
Yeah, I agree, it’s hard to follow-up that hit song. Fingers and toes crossed for Kimbra.
I quite like that Lana Del Ray’s album. I reckon i may have listened to ‘Video Games’ song on repeat on my i:pod for ages.
Have you heard her? Her album was released a couple of months ago on i:tunes.
Mystic, yes, this is also my ‘go to’ place on a dark moon and rainy Sundays. He takes things from all kinds of everywhere and puts them in. With the strong amount of Moon ruled Kataka in my chart, well placed, and my moon ruling 12th, I do connect with Luke Storms’ poetic and dreamy artscape.
Be brave enough to break your own heart.
Every last one of us can do better than give up.
Forgiveness doesn’t just sit there like a pretty boy in a bar.
Some little gems from crashingly beautiful. Love love love.
Yes! I relate totally to the high-low oscillation. I have Moon, Mars conjunct MC, and Chiron all in Pisces.
Thank you for sharing! this site… an apt crashingly beautiful gift…. xx
I’m a Pisces with a Cancer rising. My high-low oscillation is inner-to-outer and back and forth. Either I’m strong on the inside and falling part on the outside (justified anger and/or tears) or I’m lifting my chin and jumping off bridges in my heart.
Sounds very familiar…..
passive-activity duality.
Luke Storms doesn’t know this, but he’s actually my imaginary boyfriend. The best feature of the site is that you can search for a word (like “zen”) and then all the postings with that tag come up. Great for late-night inspiration.
i like your dark moon lilith avatar
oh, i figured it out today while daydreaming. one can find salvation in both places. the highest and the lowest.
Hmmm…I just thought my ex was bi-polar. Thank you for clearing that up. (he’s pisces with “drama” (leo) rising)
Dear MysticMedusa,
Thank you. I’ve been away on a retreat for a few days and came home to find this warm and generous post. It’s a shock to discover how much the blog Crash resonates with people. It was never my intention to gain a wide following. I have made scrapbooks of art, quotations, and passages that resonate in this mysterious journey I call “my life” since I was very young. I still do. When Tumblr appeared a few years ago, I recognized its extraordinary potential to facilitate an online personal record or commonplace book. So it was born for my-Self essentially. It serves as a reminder that there is always something mysterious and wonderful behind the surface. I often forget that. In my opinion, all artistic endeavors should serve to remind us of the unknown. To provoke, to shock, and to challenge our worn down roads and habitual ways of looking at things, and experiencing the world.
So thank you for your generous mention. and for all the people who visit Crash. I am honored and grateful that people resonate with the small stones that are tossed into this inconceivably large place called the wide world web.
Most warm regards,
Luke
~”are you Pisces”? and viola..he was…~
Funny cuz a few weeks ago came across a reality show. Felt one of the guys was a Scorp. Googled him and viola…he was…lolx
