The Price Of Being…
THIS is actually such a Now dilemma. Totally Zap Zone. Maybe the person who called the peeps on this site Fuqed Up Clueless Whores did a typo and she meant “Wolves’? It can happen. A Freudian Typo?
So super-strong growth astro at the mo with the Moon echoing the Zap Zone & the Sun starting to stimulate it as well. Who are we kidding here? One way or another something is setting the Uranus Pluto square off until 2016. Someone just emailed me to ask “when will this Zap Zone thing end?” and though i obviously sent her to read the Zap Zone rave under the Oracle – above – i could tell she wanted me to say something like “in a few weeks time.” Lol.
This thing is just getting started. Evolution is here – ready or not. Evolve or Evaporate. Stay stuck and you’re fuqed. I said this in the Daily Mystic email and i’m saying it again now; let go of thoughts that do not make you STRONG.
And let’s discuss this – Sheep or Wolf? Bored or Lonely? Surely there is something in between? I know what he means though – haven’t you ever experienced that super-strength outer planet vibe (like a Uranus or a Pluto transit) where you’re ultra-lucid, aware and evolving but it feels isolating? And often it IS because you have to step outside the crowd you’ve been running with.
Psuedo-Intellectual Astro-Bitches, your thoughts please…

Maybe the balance Mystic speak of is in choosing sometimes to be a sheep and sometimes to be a wolf, rather than always being in the one mode. Being fluid and mutable, rather than always ‘baa’ or ‘grrr’.
OH, FUQ. Definitely LONELY. Without a sodding bleating sheep of a doubt.
Other-worldly yes! Peeps are talking to me as if I am still within the paradigm but honestly no. My New Address is Between The Veils.
And of course, strength begets compassion..so I listen sure. But who listens to me? Aside that is – from all the other bonafide members of PIAB/FUCW Inc. here, no? Hence am SO grateful for the virtual company I keep.
As otherwise, it is a long fuqing dry desert road to travel.
Amen
“My New Address is Between The Veils”… is today’s mantra! x
EH HEM. Wolves are PACK ANIMALS. They aren’t lonely at all.
^Yep.
Have lived my life that way since childhood, being an outer planet type (strong Pluto and Saturn influence in my chart). And it’s not really lonely because if you’re attuned enough you attract the like. Does that make sense?
perfect sense. I have natal sun conjunct saturn, scorpio north node.
complete sense
I hear ya George. Neptune, Saturn, & uranus square sun and pluto squate moon. Feel like I grew up alone in my own lil’ reality even tho I have 2 younger sibs I’d boss around. Even now I REAlly interact with very few peeps if I can help it. I’m def. a loba {she wolf). I totally get k-gems oppinion but It’s more a way of being/living when it comes to wolf vs. sheep. I’m comflicted when I feel like Im sposed to act like a sheep. I have a hard time avoiding rebellion :/
Alls I can say is DAMN STRAIGHT to your diagnosis MM: .let go of thoughts that do not make you STRONG.
Delusions being killed off left right and centre. Sometimes you need to go it alone to make things happen. Plan. Scheme. Stay centrered.
There’s a happy medium for sure…wolf packs in the wild tend to consist of a mated pair and their offspring.
Actually who says there are only two options….I choose….CAT! (Matriarchal society, social when they want to be)
For a sec I thought you forgot to sound the trumpet about mars being out of virgo. Alas, it is just that mars is on my AC and finally, finally, finally out of my 12th house. I feel like a lone hungry wolf. In my day to day, no one speaks my language. But through this blog, I am sure there are others out there…like me.
congradulations….mars was in your 12th for a long time.
I feel like that too 12HV – a lone wolf.
For years I tried to be a sheep, but no-one spoke my language – even those who dressed like PIAB’s weren’t
But I’m kind of used to it now and the passed few months have helped me to own that feeling, be 100% present in my own skin, sit like a mountain, be capricorn
I’m usually a Wolf in Sheep’s clothing and I like it that way. I like dark horses, too. But lately, I’m more Wolf Mercurial on the inside-outside
Saturn transiting Sun Libra / Pluto exact squaring Sun / Uranus exact Opp Sun, Sun ruler of my chart. I’ve got square and opp hits in my own personal chart while at same time this is exact squaring the skies in everyone’s astroscape. Just typing this reminds me how the zap zone is connected to me…
That is SO PIAB. And I do mean that as a compliment!
I never knew there was a name for people like me until a few days ago on this blog. I feel like I’m a new character in that Huge Jackman Wolverine film – you know, there’s a race of people with super powers. PIAB should be on Wolverine with her pseudo-Intellectual powers and I’ll play her, of course, because I’ve got Leo Rising and Libra Sun with Pluto Squaring and Uranus Opposing Sun and Sun chart ruler and a billion other reasons so my time to shine STARTS NOW.
PS: Wolverine was tres lonely, too, but always a winner
I think if PIABs as super heroes too…shine MH!
Mystic, sometimes I wish there were a box I could tick on your posts that says ‘Yes, tres relevant’.
Can you do a survey thingy again soon, just so I can tick or fill in something – soz, Mars is conjunct my Mercury in Virgo and I have a survey/form filling in need, or something..
Tick a box! That’s funny.
I’m too mutable to ever feel comfortable with the box i’ve ticked, even after a long helicopter session with pen hovering from choice to choice.
I’m the same mille. Love doing surveys – even worked in market research for a bit where my job was to give others surveys lol. But for me – arghhhhh – too mutable and like the ones where you can choose more than one option.
Mercury at 8 Cancer opposite Neptune at 8 Capticorn……being hammered by the zap zone. Always a bit of a loner by nature, but now I’m the true wolf. Don’t find any support in the places I used to. Definitely the “outsider” now. I haven’t had it this terrible since middle school.
oh….Hugs xoxo
ah wow! snap. this is a timely one. look at all we wolves baying on our lonely hills…
This is my life. for the last decade i have been making huge life altering changes and have been so outta tthe box. wow my children are pioneers goddess bless them. i am a teacher i see that now teaching by example i guess, during the last ten to thirteen years (unbelievable how fast they went whoa) i clearly knew evolution was pushing me and nothing else. i was shaking with vision and fright but if peeps were doubting my energy i was no longer staying with them, couldn”t waste my energy making them happy staying put. But it was very painful to be sooo alone with this forced evolution. Where it came from was probably set in my soul long ago and the time to integrate it was this lifetime. I am still creating my wishes and believing in magic by visionizing them . i believe my vision is attainable , thanx mystic for reminding me to let go of thoughts that do not make me strong . smiles…
Newly labelled Outsider, checking in.
I’d rather be lonely than bored. I had to make a decision this last weekend, am I still in the Tribe or not. I made a decision to go off on my own, lonely into the unknown, because they are not my real tribe.
And just found out that my Spirit animal guide is the wolf!
*Cue harmonica*
I’d gladly take the life of a lone wolf too. too much cool stuff to investigate, life is too short to fit in and be bored.
Wolves travel in tight packs, loyal mated partners. If you a lone wolf now, you’ll find the true pack/tribe soon.
Too many “toos” in that last post.
Wolf is the teacher, taught man how to hunt, how to be-friend something wild.
Someone needs to make some PIAB Club shirts. I’d buy one.
Bollocks !
a) Wolves are pack animals who live in highly complex closely integrated social structures; they are not “lonely”
b) Assuming that sheep are bored with their lives is specieist.
c) Humans are neither wolves nor sheep.
d) The spectrum is not between “Boredom” and “Loneliness” – surely it would be “Boredom” and “Excitement”; and “Loneliness” and “Smothered” ?
e) What’s wrong with being a reasonably well evolved hominid who’s sick of corporatist capitalism ?!
f) If *I* was an animal I’d be a dolphin
Am also working on something called “The Zap Process” – where if you apply it to your life you become the glowing, self-actuated, focussed, creative, kind, serene, together kind of person that you’ve always wanted to be.
Its an unholy mix of Buddhist philosophy, astrology and Chaos Magick. With worksheets.
When I’ve fully worked it out, I’ll be charging for it
ODDLY ENUF, i was reading a book called Buddha At Work & thinking ‘this is awesome’ but it needs some Chaos Magick and astrology…great minds, yes?
Fractals!!! the architecture of life
I second that, Ali.
that is my kind of cake mix. yum yum!!
Sounds amazing – my virgo moon, mars, pluto and uranus loves the idea of self actualizing with worksheets (I want to click buy!)
awesome. mine’s Tao, pagan, somatic source, creatrix. it’s a broad church – can’t wait to incorporate your worksheets
Dom Triff. you are a legend
Oh, upside down.
Part D correction if I may. Loneliness / isolation vs integration/ assimilation
God, wish it was ANY other animal but Wolf, as that was my Bad Gurus name – so hence I have very negative associations…
Any other suggestions for those of us that choose to walk the Path alone?
This could be a hoot ’cause any of those animal-totem names can be kinda Pseudo-Spiritual-Woo-Woo-Bitch, yeah?
a Jaguar cat.
yes…..
There are very few truly “alone” animals as its an evolutionarily inefficient way to exist. Pack is the way to go !
The only one I can think of off the top of my head is the cheetah….
ooh yes – Jaguar – that’s a good one !
Tigers.
I love birds – so I’m sitting here cracking myself up at all the lame names I keep coming up with!
I need to get out more…
I love birds too! Parrots in particular. You reckon it’s a Scorp thing? My ex Scorp boss breeds ring-necked parrots. He used to bring the babies to work ’cause they needed to be hand fed regularly. I ended up buying one off him and so did another Scorp colleague. The CEO (another Scorp) owned a macaw. A few years after I left the company it was reported in the paper that his macaw was stolen (they’re quite expensive on the black market). Never did find out if he got it back.
Also love rabbits!! Cuteness overload!
and meerkats – they make me smile 
…. and iguanas!!!! Would love a green one as a pet. I’ve just realised I like cute, precious & little animals.
Goat – I know not as sexy but…they’re intelligent, agile, can cover seemingly insurmountable terrain, are happy with company but can also manage without it…in my vague memory of Chinese astro, I think the goat has some characteristics for walking your own path type of thing…so maybe goat?
I second the goat!
I think panda bears and polar bears are mostly solitary. And egrets.
mountain lion. i see a theme…
Wombat.
my friend once said I was a cassowary?
Wolf? I think I’d rather be a whore. At least then I’d get paid in cash.
You have no idea how hilarious I find your comment…please refer to my previous post…because he was one.. and he did prefer cash!
Pretty much just peed my pants laughing!
You just made my day.
xo
a fuqing clued up wolf is what I settled on
Thankfully, still FCUW so I will NOT have to change all the merchandising. Whew.
*like*
Yeah wolves actually ARE in a pack i think – puma might be more the correct association – they like to hunt alone
But isn’t a lone wolf is one who has been expelled from the pack or left for some reason?
And I think I may be right in assuming, without double checking elsewhere, that they don’t live and hunt as a pack all year round.
So they mix solitude with belonging.
Oooo I like pumas
The Taurus is totally getting zapped right now, and I am along for the ride, with changes for me too.
Uranus is squaring his nodes exactly(and my Juno) and Pluto is sitting on his north node exactly(so opposing my Juno).
My pluto is loosely squared by pluto and opposed by uranus with the exactness of this further along.
We have moved in together offically. Trying to combine our stuff and 5 people in a small house.
By his own choice, he is drinking far less and focusing on our lives together.
Ah, the Zap Zone – at least we can all gather here on this site and be scared together, lol
(i think it’s okay to take ‘scared’ breaks in between bouts of evolving and evaporating. sort of like letting yourself be angry for 15 min and then getting on with things)
MM – loving all your compulsive Merc in Aries enthusing of late!
Wolf – I’ve always on the outer, but embracing loner these days, (exacerbated by being a migrant/branded as a tall poppy). My do-not-give-a-fuq & fearless attitude is becoming my USP. Write me off at your peril sheep.
Wolf for life.
wow, this is so spot on! My besty and I had a 5 hour d&m about this particular binary over the weekend. Since that convo I have been thinking about other ways of framing it – maybe constellations vs satellites… I definitely feel more like a satellite than a wolf
lone tigress, since that’s more appropriate than wolf. i don’t believe in “lonliness.” i call that solitude.
agree. Solitude.
agreed.
Somehow I didn’t read this as a choice between the two (one OR the other), but rather as advice. Although I have chosen to be a wolf in my life, I think what Mr. Mcleod is offering is sage counsel…should you choose to be either of those things, he is correct about the result…however, you could just as well choose to be neither or whatever else enters into your experience and moves you.
It is Isolating: it’s isolating when you’re moving faster than the physical world– incl. Saturn– will allow. So then you’re left with friends who don’t get the trip you’re on, and a shit ton of laundry to fold– both of which are very Boring.
So, sheep or wolf: is there a middle? Yeah, there’s a middle– and in the middle it’s boring AND lonely, not one or the other.
What’s with all the laundry?
It’s hard to type and fold laundry at the same time.
It’s hard to feng shui my wallet and fold laundry at the same time–
which is going Awesomely, Mystic! Thank You! xo
These sound like hilarious proverbs.
I might even have a haiku there! lol
(below, i mean.)
A small crystal wand covered in red tissue placed in your purse part of wallet seems to ensure money doesn’t run out. Only problem is when you lose them whilst buying something as it looks like a tampon when it’s left on the counter. Just bought a new one as i have been running low on funds since on stress leave. Within a week money came in.
Wolves wither and die when they’re alone.
Loneliness is boring.
Sheep are delicious.
…and lamb is always better than old mutton!
Wow, just had a revelation. wolf / sheep , lonely/ bored. Virgin/whore
I’m def going to take crack WITH the bath salts cause the crack kills off any hunger sooooo, then I won’t feel the need to eat someone’s face off.
Thoughts ?
Forget about the crack. Just get a bag of Doritoes, you’ll be fine.
Hmm, yes but where do I get biodynamic Doritoes ? And that yellow food coloring is bad shit. Thank ewe x
haha Ewe are welcome.
Well, maybe eating a face is preferable to Doritoes. Still, too much gristle for my tastes. I’d take a face off, but never consume one.
just make sure you get a good chianti to go with it!
The silence of the *lambs* — nicely done, jicky!
It’s a common side effect of being a Man-o-Whorus davidl. But then usually you so hold them in thrall with your riveting charm before they realize you’ve had half their head.
Sooo many!! Thoughts that is… but I’ll have to stop laughing so loud as I can’t quite hear what they’re saying.
Let go of thoughts that do not make you strong – love this, I’m making it my new mantra.
I like to do things where I can be by myself but not alone. Losing my thoughts in an art gallery, I think they are ultra calming places and you are not expected to make conversation with anyone. And yoga classes, you’re by yourself on the mat but there are other like minded people around you. I prefer yoga to team sports because you can do your own thing.
only a sheep during long, periodic, and quickly forgotten stretches of anemia. hence to repeat the cycle… but sheep are nice! and happy! and definitely get a lot more action. sigh. if only this mountain lion could learn to relish the loneliness more… not just when dripping with victorious and iron-rich blood…
Wolf, sheep…I prefer earth monkey… but being a Leo I’m braving the worlds with an open, open heart and practising everyday alchemy, turning crapola into eureka. My inner fire is burning bright…Vit D supplements highly recommended for anyone feeling a SADsish…
Women Who Run With The Fuqed Up Clueless Whores
Smart Sheep – Dumb Choices
i think solitude is an under rated thing. for the last month i have found myself really fed up with certain sorts of company and small talk. i never used to care but now i am actively avoiding it.
check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solitary_animals
these are not pack animals.
I am going with Tiger obviously. But there are those who would have me more as the Vagrant Shrew lol
I also like Jaguar, Japanese Hare, Siberian Chipmunk and the Neurotropical Otter
Gorgeous list. Feeling rather ‘Marbled Polecat’ myself. I love the title of your next novel (!), unfortunately it has a wide audience.
That’s too funny and I love this list ! The clouded leopard is divine – although if I don’t stop reading these comments I might soon become the vagrant shrew!
omg The Vagrant Shrew. Fantastic.
African Golden Cat – Arabian Leopard – the solitary animals are the coolest, i find this list disgustingly inspirational. the COUGAR is on there as well
It’s Perfect! Loved reading it, thank you, and yr post – makes me laugh every time x woman who runs with etc … too funny
have been in the solitude camp for ages – i didn’t recognise it because am also so damn busy w work – but if it isn’t a work based conversation, I become absent really quickly – have made lots of new contacts, nice people, but …
Cougar is vibing with me. Sheepishly.
Well, if you’re going to be a lone wolf…be prepared for the responsibility …it never ends up being just about you..
Brill! And Amen!
Love it Sweetpea!
Jezus gawd it’s midnight here and I’m still playing leader of the pack..
Yes Rox, as single can rock and roll into the wee hours and love it! x
So good to see you poppin’ up Gemmy darlin’..xo
Think leader of the pack broke my week long obsession with Iva..
Not that I don’t love him…hee..
Mystic, you make things SO FUN..
Love ya..xo
Love this song! <3
I am loving the Zap Zone so far. I have felt the need to change a lot of things for a long time, and Mystic your posts about how to handle this have really inspired me. I’ve decided to work as a freelancer instead of the dull 9-5, to move back to the city I grew up in, and my man just got a promotion at a new company in the new city! Evolve or Evaporate, I salute you!
xxdouble cool double Gem..Go the zz! x
thanks sweetpea! isn’t it funny how when you finally make a decision and take action, that you receive good luck in so many unexpected ways! x
Well I can’t say I have struggled with this polarity – as a person with a totally disingenuous way of blurting out the truth as I see it, wolfdom has been in force since nativity.
(Tigressiness, Water Deeriness or MarblePole Cattedness too!).
It would be Asperger’s but I DO see people’s faces and know what that means.. Am just neurotic & obstinate, so am condemned to repeat this annoying behaviour.
The only cure is finding other wolves or fun sheeple who can cope with the obvious without fainting.
I doubt that sweet little sheepies become bored. And wolves live in packs, very social animals…
see, there’s a way around everything…!
Sheep don’t know if they’re bored or not
ha..
I would go into how we are sheep on some levels and wolves on others but last night’s 400 and some odd posts have me a bit wrung out…lol
However, will say that our dear Kim Falconer stated that someone else stated (sorry that sounds lame Kim) but, Saturn is the “lone wolf” signature.
A wolf has to go off and contemplate things before they can offer anything to anyone else..so they are social but not first without holding their own counsel.
Specially if that wolf is the Alpha..
They are the first to eat as they need to survive to help others survive..
I don’t have a wolf totem so to speak, just picked some things up over the years..
Lynn V. Andrews of the Medicine Woman series was called by her teacher “black wolf”…as she needed to contemplate things..
And, she is a Pisces as it is.
Resonates with Saturn Return. She’s a bloody good stick that Kim Falconer ! xx
She is for sure…Adore her..
And black (Lynn) for “lunar”…female..
I do an AWESOME sheep impersonation…
brahaha…
A friend of mine, 30 some years ago, she was married to a Persian like me, had a whole sheep’s head cooking in the oven..brains and all…”brains are considered a delicacy” she said (Jesus
) sunken eyes, lips seared back to expose the set of teeth..
I know this by heart at it’s in my writings…
And I made a comment in my writing of how if you eat the brains…will you say “bahhh” ?
Oh Gemmy I love you doll…x
Bug (eye) LOVE back atchu Sweetpea!
I’m going all Sam Merlotte (from TrueBlood) on this one, and shape-shifting into whichever creature necessary.
I once overheard my beautiful old Piscean friend tell his 10 year old Capricorn daughter (who was complaining of being bored) ”Only boring people get bored’. Her eyeballs almost shot out of her head.
Well I am evolving…into a leopard it seems
Seriously the last 6 weeks I have had full on dreams involving leopards – everything from people wearing leopard furs, images of the animal itself or peeps with leopard tattoos. Last night was a vision of a woman – me? – in a leopard leotard that belonged in the 80′s. Am I meant to become a follower of Dionysis or is the Leo in my chart and all things feline messing with me?
As for the sheep/wolf you could always be a wolf in sheep’s clothing but it would get old after a while. I say be yourself whatever that is. I love my own company as well as that of friends. Sometimes it’s necessary to be alone and sometimes not. It’s a balance. Wonder which animal would represent that kind of balance?
I have to ask this question somewhere ! ! Do you think someone born with a Uranus Pluto square (1deg. orb ) should be able to cope with this current crap starting at the moment ?
At the moment I am dealing with a vicious neighbour who appears to have obsessive compulsive disorder.
No expert but i imagine Uranus-Pluto square doesn’t take too kindly to some fool with CONTROL issues. Be careful not to explode and rehearse every interaction until you’re sure you won’t break the fool into pieces. Then there’ll be damage control and you might end up being target.
You’re very capable (mammoth understatement) so some legal counsel would not go astray.
Pluto and Uranus form 4 giant red triangles with the aspects they make on my chart, with Mars as the common angle to all 4. I don’t know if that’s similar but i’m a hot head if crossed (or lol if i even imagine i’m crossed – super sensitive Leo MC) and have learned to turn to my trusted only to help cool my jets. It takes a long while to burn them out.
Also get some perspective on whether the neighbour is as bad as you think. That can be done with legal advice as well. Sorry i’m being rather frank but if my squares feel similar to yours then this is what i’d advise myself
Really sorry, 2 red triangles. (It’s just Mars has four red lines coming off it.) Pluto sq Mars Mars sq Sun Sun opp Pluto. Uranus sq Mars Mars sq Merc Merc opp Uranus. Just so you can see if what i said above might resonate for you as well.
Thankyou. No I’m not exploding – Doing the Jung/Buddhist meditations etc –Will take some legal course (but it costs $$ )
O me too re neighbour from hell-energy drain as his misogynist evil seeps through the walls and impinges on my peace of mind via aural dissonance.
Am going through all legal methods to pull him up before i resort to murder or merely knee capped. I have to dig really deep to find ‘ruthless’ as prefer the pen to the sword.
Strong thoughts indeed.
Try the meditations before the —kneecapping ! I wonder what aspects these cretins have to make them so psychotic.
Yup and Yup.. you are so right on Mystic, as usual. I can’t believe that I am finally accepting the ZZ. Well, maybe just realizing what it means and working with it. OMGosh… if I can hold onto what I am going through right now the ZZ will be good. Just going through the realization that things are changing and not letting go is what your term “I am fuq’d”.. but for some reason I realize what is going on. Although stressful and painful.. something really good has to come out of this. The last 2 years have been fabulous. Since November of this year extremely stressful and painful but I see a break with all that. I am praying it is coming through. Baby steps… is all I can say to myself. I get impatient (Virgo sun)… so I want things yesterday. Baby steps… <3
As an Elder of the Tribe, Ellie you want to be dancing up the path of life not giving your power away to a boy-man that doesn’t totally adore you. Everyone that comes close to you is a ‘soul-mate’ merely because you have accepted them into your presence. So easy to say ‘let it go’ not so easy to actually do without a lot self examination and angst. Whatever you needed from that person, you have already received it.
Sometimes ‘replacement therapy’ can be the only way forward and an incentive to let go. x
I am sure this is the work of uranus here but I am forced to see my own hand in where I have been a sheep when I should have been a wolf and vice versa. I did live right at the front of myself but had to take a backseat when a certain trip to hospital nearly did me over. Now I am being outed to come back into myself but i am slightly out of practice needing to shed crap beliefs that are not mine. Can’t believe they are still there. Damming my pluto 4th for absorbing the bullshit but all I can do is keep outing it and move forward. I need the worlds best hypnotist to resolve this it seems as pluto is pretty hardcore to shift
Pluto and Uranus… isn’t it funny how they both rule fixed signs?
Yes. Technically I am uber mercurial though uranus is charge of my MC right now, pluto is running the homestead. this is ultimate bats or zap.
I am actually loving the energy it’s just the manifestations I need to change. Nearly made a Duran Duran joke.
Oooh go on. I can’t guess the joke!
A Lone Wolf isn’t lonely. A lone wolf is one who breaks from the pack and does his/her own thing on their own or of their own volition. I think of them as self reliant and not really into authority (alpha wolves, pecking orders etc). Lone wolves are excellent socially but really can’t be fuqed with the usual bs. I like.
I guess I would rather be a sheep than a lemming though….
I am a lioness, while I am ram by astro. But a lioness kind of does her own thing but can also work well within a group to get things done. I have my pride. We fuqing kick some major arse too!!!
FYI Among other things I am a shepherd and my sheep are all individuals ( and they all have names – in fact i think my lamb naming system for next year will be PIAB’s). They go off and do their own thing during the day & flock together at night ( for safety, not to go out on the razz – but you just never know with sheep…….). I keep ‘primitive’ breeds that are more like goats – not those commercial ones, who are a bit more brain dead.
Sheep get really bad press & I would like to set the record straight – some sheep are really quite clever and learn very quickly
Yes, they do and they serve us well as humans and we do not perhaps serve them as well in return, by perception or overuse of their bodies.
Amen to that.
Dear Mystic- since when is it so Trendy to be vulgar??
i thik JayZe has done his cabal job on yer mind!
Degener8ion of the nation
Devo
do you honestly even call girl dogs bitches??
Vulgar, LOLOLOLOL, you sound like my mother arriving to pick me up from an amarzing (yes, amarzing) party I’ve just been to. She would say…look at you ! sweaty, red eyed and dishevelled !
and whats that stain on your pants !!! my god David you are so….so…. VULGAR !
Sorry, Mum…
sheeple – I do believe the bleating is occuring on another blog.
Yeah enough already with the critiques of Myst.
There you go, Myst has spoken on post below as i was going to mention humour and it’s cure, but fait accompli.
Sweetie i don’t think you are following the comments – someone called us all a “bunch of fuqed up clueless whores” and so we are riffing off that. It is a time honored method of deflecting hatred and hostility via humor and also co-opting the term…Did you read any of the previous posts or comments?
Oh and as for girl dogs/bitches etc – it is actually a compliment – as in Artemis, Lilith and other Bitch Goddesses. There are a few posts on that too.
compliment eh?…. well I certainly wouldn’t appreciate receiving a compliment like that.
We’re not living in the ‘hood! This ain’t LA.
Agree with Sheepie. The tone and vibe of the blog has been rather off-putting, really juvenile and very cliquey lately (since THAT very long post) and YES! I have read all the comments!
And making a joke/post about losing another subscriber….Very professional.
I’ve been reading this blog since Nov 2011. Yeah, there are some cliques here, like anywhere: it’s social human nature to form cliques. You’ll have that.
This *is* “the ‘hood”– this blog is very much a neighborhood. A community. A bee hive, a colony, a village, den… It’s a microcosm of people of all manner of age, orientation, origin, perspective. I don’t find anything bizarro on this blog: just regular stuff, just a regular neighborhood.
I don’t get all the “omg – I dont’ feel like I belong here any longer!” comments. I mean – I do – its in the astro of the moment. Why not just go where you feel you belong? I’m not here because I belong or am in some clique. I’m here because I like it here. I like the humor. I like the advice. If I don’t like it, I dont’ read it and skip on to the next. I don’t like every post or every comment on this blog. So, I wait it out. The scopes are good. Really – the judgment and labeling is coming from people who seem insistent that we all need to be alike, humor needs soft edges, and spritiual astro stuff must not be laughed at. Start your own blog, your own manual about how humans must behave and good luck getting the astro to support you in your efforts.And you’re right – we are not in LA. We are online.
You agree with the sheeple…your all the same person….spicey…wrasse….steeple… get over it ,
As far as leaving …. Off you go , bye , see ya , wouldn’t wanna be ya.
In fact I’ll buy 2 subs for friends or something to make up for your ‘loss’.
Veiled threats of withdrawal are so boring , are you like 18 or something.? Off you go , kiss kiss
Come to Adders and knee cap my neighbour
the DVN woulda ya please David?
Darling Pegs, Would help you however I could x you need some neighbourcide. XXX version. Been going on a while. Gotta work out soon ?
Actually, I live in LA and I work in the hood. You think this compares???
Wait till you’re trying not to feel a million times fat when you’re surrounded by be-shaded stick insect girls holding their thumb sized dogs whilst lined up for brekkie they won’t eat, twaddling about their mobile phones and you crack a smile but they stare at you like you just committed a sin. Because your breath has calories and they might inhale it.
This place clique-ish?? Nah hun.. there IS a language but mainly we all vibe to the same wit and warped humor. Plenty of us go off-line for yonks then come back in here to confess all our freshly gathered insights and navel lint. Often, our devastating sorrows. But it’s definitely not intentional, there are no “requirements” to be here and no demands.
Often when someone’s not too hot on a topic, it’s a skip at will type of situation, I guess what keeps us coming back here is that there’s enough for continuity but not too much for cloyishness. You probably caught the blog in a moment of solidarity when the Wrassassin started spewing insults.
Do try to keep that in mind, everyone’s got their own thing to contribute and we embrace all kinds.
Your breath has calories that they might inhale!!!!!
Pick me up off the floor sista
Can I just add that as I work in agriculture if you defined any animal’s gender as girl or boy you would be ridiculed ( especially as a female working in a male dominated industry) – you have to be able to say, cock, hen, dog, bitch, bull, cow, ram, whore ( that was a joke to see if you were paying attention) and keep a straight face and have an intellectual conversation in words of one-syllable on the subject in hand – seriously love my work
I’m absolutely tickled pink layering that idea over my preparations to go to work this morning. Will freely admit to my immaturity. Also thinking of getting a pet rooster.
in the words of Paris Hilton, that is SO HOT Mille. haha
O yes, ‘hot’ is so passed it used by date it cringes me when i hear it, it’s vacuous.
A little red one Millie?
We have plenty of laughs at home
, so does everyone I suppose, so much material 
When I was taught to castrate ram lambs I was a bit worried – but once I blurted out ‘I can’t find it’s bollocks!’ that broke the ice, lol. Then I was told they felt sorry for my husband and now I’m one of the boys I guess
Wolves also run in packs.
I’m excited about the Uranus/Pluto square and have been feeling the isolation thing awhile now. There are other people who are evolving with this as well and I think we will find each other and support and strengthen each other. I think a lot of the evolving will happen in our solitude when we can become quiet and sit with ourselves.
But I am a cencer/pisces rising/cancer moon so I’m pretty hermity anyways. I loove that Stay stug and you’re fuqed! That’s so awesome Mystic! I’m making that my mantra. <3
Ive been offline for a month and now trying to figure out which post that ‘ cluless title’ originated from.
Someone point the way? Pretty please???
This is the one you want, I think:
http://mysticmedusa.com/2012/06/lady-you-dont-need-astrology/
No, this is the pseudo-intellect astro bitches one.
haha– no, that’s the one you want for origin of fucked up clueless whores, too! It’s all blended together there, like a big old shite shake.
Oops… Meant to link my reply…
While we’re on the subject kind of…………………….:
As a Brit on this blog I sometimes feel we’re ‘divided by a common language’ & I don’t always get some of the Aussie or American ways of wording things. But I do try and keep an open mind and get it.
But I do have a sense of the ridiculous, from living in Scotland for so long and know that humour is the greatest equaliser and sometimes getting a message across.
I am loving this thread, loving Uranus in Aries and those of you with their mercury there please continue to do it in such a positive way.
( I have a friend with this who really isn’t managing so well:-( ).
Bless you all x
Darling, please say something if ever i step over the line. I don’t mind being a bit stupid or shocking as long as i’m not truly offensive. It’s one of those things i’m going to simultaneously observe carefully and let go with (probs more IRL and not here, tho).
You and your heart of gold offensive? Il ne pas possible.
Seconded x
You gorgeous centaur women!
Just seen your reply to my previous post mille – I hadn’t seen that when I wrote this. It was just a dour ( Scots meaning something like ‘down at mouth’, ‘fed-up’ ) general response to the theme about use of language – I think I may have even out it on the wrong post now lol – sorry folks.
Dig Scottish humour… when I can understand it
No Milleunanotte not at all, I only meant it as a generalisation. I love reading what you write, – I only wish I could be as eloquent and articulate. I spend alot of time in solitude, which I love and I live in a place where people have a certain way of expressing themselves, which took me years to learn, lol.
So I’m rather clumsy at expressing myself out of this environment these days, add to that cultural differences here and I get a bit lost tbh.
So it’s good for me to be here and, now at risk of being a PIAB, I’ve natal Saturn in the 5th opp my sun, mercury & transiting Saturn so it’s probably a sensitive area right now
Yes even if you’re reasonably fluent, cultural differences can take the persian out from under your sense of articulacy. And Saturn in your house of play! Opp your Merc! I get it.
I should respond more often when a post’s wording sounds perfect, because one of them was an earlier post of yours. It was so beautifully put. But i didn’t want to “wreck” it with a mundane sounding comment. Believe it or not, with my verbosity of late, i often do that. If it helps, know that i actually sit here and silently bow to the screen when i read some things… true
The irreverant bow.. so aptly put. I’ve done that more oft than usual lately. So many great posts and don’t want to put a one liner or something trite as acknowledgement… this I get! x
Bless you both.
We need a like or a bow button !
But I know what you mean milleunanotte as I read such beautiful things here, but don’t comment for the same reasons
Omg…. It just took me an hour to read through most of that and my face hurts from laughing and my eyes are watering… Courtney Love!!! Brilliant.
That was my laugh out loud moment, totally inspired – Courtney?
I thought about sending Mystic an email, but I figured I’d comment here. I have sent emails to Mystic. The last one was a question about lilith aspects. The oracle told me to check out my fifth house. So I did. And for the first time it popped right out at me: Lilith 13 Aquarius 5th, Leo Moon 13 11th. The ways the virgin whore complex have played out in my life are almost cartoonish. So, I wasn’t so much in the dark about what that could mean for me, but being a practical Virgo – thinking how MM likes to write about bitches, about potential SEO value and blog content seeds she may – or may not – choose to plant. Mainly, thinking what the community would have to say. It astounds me. Sometimes I comment a lot, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I feel the love, sometimes I’m bored. But I have had amazing and deeply meaningful instances of intimacy on this blog. Several quite recently. Flecks of gold and hope. Energy connections to others I may never see or know. And I am imensely grateful for that. Because I don’t have much of that in the town I live in. So what if we don’t live together or see each other or like everything that goes on around here? We can’t call “regional tone.” Its amazing and beautiful. That’s how intimacy works. Its beautiful, but not always plesant. Keep doing what your doing, MM. And def checkout cafepress for shwag production. In case those of you in Oz or elsewhere are unfamiliar with the American term “shwag” I am refering to this usage of the term, from Urban Dictionary:http://shwag.urbanup.com/539698. I’d totally load up a bag of Mystic’s shwag.
PS – sometimes the tone of MM’s stuff does jar me. Like Mars in Virgo scopes telling me about being thin and rich. Didn’t make a priority of either. But – I feel her – you know? Its about self-investment. And its hard to keep a unique tone the way she does. So…be nice to creativity.
Completely with you there, 12HV. I feel inspired, humbled and sometimes yawn here. A place where i can truly learn is always a gift. And beauty is not always pleasant, that much feels true.
I love the word “shwag”
agreed
The Zap has deemed it necessary for me to remain in my uggies today *(yes, it’s a shout out for the sheep and I love them!).
The recent turn or theme of discussions is interesting. Confessing to being wolf in as much as I’m not inclined to need to comment so much and that’s not for any particular reason eg I don’t want to rant, I’m too evolved.. rah rah.. and not even one ‘incoming!!’ from me… I impress myself!
Just haven’t felt compelled but I am interested and I have laughed mostly and not felt any strong reactions to comments.
Perhaps that means the Zap is just on the fringe of knocking something into my skull or the protective foil headwear I’m wearing is working?!?!
I think it’s probably natural during this transit that people will move. If it’s evolve or evaporate then people will do so in a way that serves them and it can only be right for what serves now with no regret and no actual sense of whether it’s the best choice for the future. If it’s right in the moment it’s about as right as one can assess and that’s that. It only ever rattles and rolls a bit when it’s purely an emotive decision and then it has all the tinges of regret and guilt sprinkled around afterward like confetti from the wedding you wish you never attended wearing white
I’m enjoying reading everyone’s contributions. It’s interesting times we live in and we’re all going to have a view on it and I agree with much of what’s been said in all it’s tones. The bane of being mutable!!!!!
I’m not crass… nope, strike that I am. I have completely demented humour that most of my friends and family still get shocked at (c’mon get over it already) and I love it. I do however aim for appropriate censorship these days but that’s a choice that takes effort and it’s a choice ultimately, do or don’t and either is fine.
I don’t think humour undermines anything unless something within us feels offended, humiliated or rejected etc. It is one of the best forms of releasing stress, healing, letting go of physical tension in the body, increasing feel good hormones and so on. Osho emulates well how humour and spiritualism blend in harmony.
But in saying that it’s fine to get all up on your soapbox if yer like
I get up on one occassionally myself but I do so in the FULL awareness that I anticipate a response or many responses and they will take many forms so go on and do it but don’t be naive about what’ may result.
So to wolves v sheep…. well I am Centaur with a healthy dose of bull and goat hence the searing of the earthy elements with the fiery bow. I choose both and I choose to exercise them at whim and if either of these does not support my goal then I choose to shapeshift into some other animal entirely or cloak myself as a blade of grass in a field.
There are benefits and learnings from both. Running with a pack teaches collaboration, sharing, committment to something bigger than yourself and support of the whole. Flying solo allows time for integration, reflection, new inspiration that is truly yours and not just a projection of the collective.
Namaste to all you beautiful PIABS and all you beautiful NON-PIABS on this site. I’ve been around for .. hmmm, a bit over a year I think and it’s still the only blog I interact with and that’s becaus, well… pssst, I’m a blog snob.. lol
nope it’s because I dig it’s flow!!
Snap! Both of us having a few words whilst in the uggs.
I did my first pilates class, floor and magic circle, not machines, in 10 years
last night. Walked out floating & free, the same feeling as when i first had acupuncture in HongKong aeons ago. Am not competitive but have to be first with something or not that interested.
Followed I Ching when it said ‘Loosening’ before changing to ‘Legions’.
Such accumulated stress i was holding in the fascia, stretched out of my body. She who cannot commit, committed to 10 weeks course and weekly yoga as well. Heal me i said, so i can resume my work on others.
This dolphin has found her pod.
Speaking of dolphins, the is a book called Strategy of the Dolphin in a world of sharks and carps which is brilliant, the sub title being ‘Winning Elegantly by Coping Powerfully in a World of Turbulent Change’ by Brain Technologies.
The Dolphins Song:
We must leverage the wave
We must learn to create and act on compelling visions
We must learn the process of releasing & letting go
We must learnt to break set
We must develop-all of us-strong self esteem
We must learn to work co-operatively
We must focus on doing more with less
We must learn to be open to surprise and to the future
We must be responsible
We must discover and act on purpose (i say act on porpoise).
Isn’t this what Myst has been saying all along?
The dolphin says: I want us both to in-and win elegantly and resoundingly, no matter what the difficulties or the time it takes.
Sounds a lot like my morning emails from her
Pegasus (porpoise like squeal), so nice to read!
Sounds magical! Inspirational!
If I’m not with something I’m not that interested either and definitely not committed.
I am in the process of a slow unwinding of the bod all the while realising that so much is now held in there that wasn’t in a not so distant past. What happened? Rhetorical
I think and hope that it means a renewed committment to the process of unifying mind body spirit rather than each element of the whole doing a little more or less fair share than the other at the mo. xx
so wonderful Pegasus! and thank you for the reminder. yr words inspired me to say hello the le downward dog. sinus cleared instantly. and my brain. funny that. x
*LOVE* The break set bit all resonates. In 05 I went to Costa Rica for surf lessons (I’m still shite), the beach was called Playa Samara and lessons were scheduled twice a day at 7am & 4pm. in between those times the waves were just much too strong and they’d put warnings up for swimmers.
It was an experience that was new, fear inducing and beautiful. They made us carry our boards all the way from the somewhat jungled encampments to the beach, then we had to learn how to read the waves and then we surfed. Though I never built up the kind of skill to make me a bonafide surfer, it encapsulated the spirit of what makes us thrive as when indeed we ride the waves of how life takes us.
It was everything. All the fear of starting, the work, the wipe outs and finally the unbelievable feeling of looking behind you and seeing yourself pushed forth in the God-Palm of water, that joy, that TRUST of knowing your presence and participation lead to that moment. Only love has ever made me feel as alive.
We learned for instance to accept that you WILL have a hard time getting up if you encounter a double wave, no exceptions. Look for it, try to avoid it. Or that learning how to eat it is just as important as how to ride. I know kids make surfing look easy, but I was 35 and I’m glad that the struggle I had for learning so much later, made me appreciate the moments more – at that point it wasn’t so much about athleticism as it was about the art of being in it.
Good on you, Pegasus! That feels so good, right?
some days I wish I lived near you so I could do classes with you. so good.
So beautifully worded…the perfect ending, peace x
Oops wrong place…that was response to FA’s great reply at 9:44am
