W.T.F. Cognitive Dissonance On The Dark Moon
It is very simple. THIS is where we should be – chilling out on the Dark Moon, waiting for the New Moon in Leo, exfoliating and scheming snazzy fresh strategies. There is essential oil of Tuscan Blood Orange in that water and an attentive butler/maid/time traveler mixing up Blue Devil Hoochie Juice Mimosas with Pluto Juice whilst you fluff around in the spa.
You get it, right?
But Saturn is going APE at the moment – sextiling the Sun, square asteroid Bast and all – so THIS is more likely to be where y’all are at, yes?
Cognitive dissonance to the max but Saturn says you ain’t even got time to sit down and explore that neuro-whatever. Saturn To Us: finish your work, floss your teeth and would it kill you to not eat crap for two days in a row?
That is precisely where I’m at: completely paralyzed in between two worlds.. It will require substantial embellishment at new moon time to dust off this rightfully self-nagging, rightfully procrastinating mood.
hahaha love how you used that coffee pic Mystic xx (Pi testing a new name)
I thought it was tomato soup with cream stars?
And you please write me a list of all the names you have had? I am starting to lose track already (sez Creatrix, who was Andromeda, who was Fire Trine).
lol. feels too soon to change,might stick with Pi for now
unpredictable pisces was the longest-running name I had!
too soon for change? Anyone would think you were a fixed sign.
lol. feels too soon to change,might stick with Pi for now
unpredictable pisces was the longest-running name I had! Followed by a minor personal crisis-point where I was closed for renovation, etc..
OMG, see I had totally forgotten UP! And I didn’t link PCFR with UP! I have an awful memory. But then I only started on this blog after just having had a baby or two, please forgive. Pi is quite spritely I think. Still love UP.
all good!
“minamata” is “mother-fish” — “Mina” is fish and “Mata” is mother in Sanskrit. The new nom would definitely go with your fish-themed names!
does it really matter in the end !
That’s right Pi, right at the end, with the last breath, the end of time, no, it will not matter. But truly, oh fair maiden, you will always be..the Unpredictable Pisces , no fish was or will ever be sweeter. (except possibly that Coral trout I had in Qld last summer).x
davidl
Err, beautifully said, espesh that part about trout..yep.
I’ve only been Saggio and then Domestic Triffid. Got into a stoush with someone in a newspaper comment section who told me she couldn’t take anyone called Domestic Triffid seriously. LOL !
The joke is that I’ve been told that I look and sound like Nigella Lawson…. but I am definitely NOT a domestic Goddess. Even if I do do a good brownie, if I saw so myself….
…excuse me while I go lick chocolate from my fingers…..
Think Domestic Triffid is rather stately! Nigella, eh?
And I remember Saggio! I am a pretty visual person, so I enjoy remembering thru avatars & names. (Merc in cancer – loves a bit of history – so yes it does matter to me!)
mmmm Nigella Lawson. I would turn for her
I have deep feelings for her kitchen.
I turned, then after seeing her throw some beans from a can in the pot with some ham and call it a casserole, I turned back.
Ew.
Well something’s up. I’ve been flossing because i really like the sensation recently, not out of duty. It appears i have left the office for the first time in my life feeling like everything’s done wtf. And i’m looking forward to an 8am saturday start holy moly. Who am i??
Did a man named Chris make you that coffee? ..or lol was his name really Chronos…
I have that pic in my photo folder! Have had plans to use it as my avatar.
Anyone for a cup of Saturn Buzz?
Can’t remember where it’s from… do you know? It won’t last…Cup of Saturn Buzz? Think i had a GigantaLarge -to go-go-go.
Every time I see that picture pop up online somewhere I get an urge to go bathe…
yes it gave me a quick kick to hurry up and exercise so i can enjoy the tub afterwards
Bah don’t you tempt me too :p
Had a loooong bath last night and I’ve heaps of work to do this evening haha!
I’m having a heck of a bad time, and I do need a vacation! It was so nice to just see that photo pop up on my facebook feed! That’s how desperate I am to get out of the city and hectic life and relax somewhere… but yeah, there’s no way I could take a vacation anytime in the near future. Just not possible. I have been working hard, very hard, and there’s also been just so much b.s. …I never get a break, even a little break…
Argh, I have been BATTLING the dissonance today. So much self-guilting
I can’t sleep! 3 night in a row, on an insane productivity kick/inspiration high. Guzzling green juices, getting work done, now an hour pilates break at 1AM. wtf.
I even tried to have some NyQuil last night to induce dark moon relaxation, but it did not work. Read 150 pgs, wrote 3 columns in advance.
Natal Mars trine Saturn, as well as Saturn conjunct Uranus. I like Saturn. Saturn is too busy and dignified to be a Love Zombie.
Out of the blue yesterday was offered a role that would require lots of travel, which would be perfect break out of my current rut, I know I would blitz this job if anything it’s under my skill level but the nasty little voice in my head has been chipping away all day and I stuffed up my CV. The very kind HR guy is giving me another shot so I am waiting it out till new moon time and using some Leo razzle dazzle to sell myself better.
Had crazy vivid dreams last night, one of which I found a naked bound and gagged corpse of a woman inside a glass bridge.
Today had a brief foray into treelined peace on a work break, only to spy a BODY prone under a tree.
Oh no! i thought, now i have to call the cops or an ambulance! But then i realised some people were walking nonchalantly past it, and that it was an abandoned (or well placed) dummy.
..but of course, wouldn’t you?
yeah i would !
Had bizarre dream night before last. Not a whole naked corpse … but I was on a strange street and a cold wind was howling and chilling me to the bone. I knocked on a door and the woman who answered presented me with a cup that I expected to hold a hot drink … but instead it contained the penis of the man I’ve been seeing lately!
Good luck with the job Crabby
O…M….G ,,, that’s called a nightmare not a dream ?
Interpretation is eluding me …or I’m avoiding them.
Maybe lay off the late night mozarella? Seriously, that sounds like a cheese dream. Yes?
Please, enough with the cheese already.
No cheese. Never had such a bizarre and lucid dream. And as grotesque as it sounds, ok is, it didn’t feel horrifying … more an immediate questioning of what does this mean?
And it’s ok David, I’m not some psycho planning mayhem on my man. I like him … Ended up wondering if maybe it’ symbolizes absence of heart and soul etc in the relationship.
It seems that man isn’t available as he may seem to be; his penis literally is attached to someone else although you get a taste of it.
Nice way for your subconscious to give you some pointers: the cold wind chilling you to the bone could represent a biting news; the strange street a way for you to hint the situation is peculiar.
Floss, check. Eating crap, check. Life used to be busy, now, its insane how much happens. So much goes through my head, I no longer have the down time to obsess over them
Aqua over-thinker, time deprived.
Hey lovelies just watched something briliant. Would love to share… I’ll loosely define it as brain function and the universe. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQTrJqmKoveU&v=QTrJqmKoveU&gl=AU
Ainslie, thanx for my early morn talk from that cosmically aware woman. It is said the the feeling of ecstasy (ex-statis)
is a fusion of left-right brain hemispheres. Natural hallucinogenics have the same cosmic awareness effect, DMT, peyote, psylocybin and MDMA so having a stroke is
is a radical way to experience it!
Like the way she ‘says’ is it’s ok for mavens to have long hair
I noticed today, it’s slow motion, and yet, I scratched off everything on my massive to do list … nice
Like the matrix slow ?
My Saturn zen this last day or so has been in finding sanctuary in the silence/doingness/modesty/discipline of working hard & persevering. My bones are tired but I am happy.Yup for this leo with mars & saturn opposing my natal saturn, it is that exciting…
just about to have saturn ssquare my pluto – whatever dude ! so over it all i havent got time for the pain. got bounced out of the love zombie club for realising it was all in my mind – was it really – was that not just the glimmer of a glamour i say in your eye .. when pluto rolls forward soon .. so soon my friends .. i’m outta here !
You alright?
i will live
took some flower essences – do they work ? i dunno .. i am so over love you have no idea.
Walnut works – Pluto Juice.
i will to the chemist now. thank you mystic
: ) good. Sounded on the edge
I have nothing wise to offer in regards to your broken smashed to the ground and stomped on heart …. : (
I’ll just send love and a dirty joke instead. I wish the world free of heartache!! Yeh yeh back to ascension work and end all suffering. Yeh but! when do we get to hold hands and root?
Hehehehhe. Just gone gluten-free Vegan.
Spent the day making gluten free, Vegan brownies…..
Oooh and washed the floors with basil and lemongrass….
I could eat off your floors.. yum!
Some-one tell me what’s wrong with gluten???? How come i’m in top form without ‘superfoods’, doing diary and meat and some grains?
Was it the fly blown goat i ate in Bangladesh, the squares of cooked pig’s blood in Malaysia? My body knowing if i could handle THAT i could handle anything.
As each generation becomes ‘cleaner’ there is less immunity to pass on genetically is my instinct re so many allergies in children.
You’re a lucky button is what !
I have Hashimotos and there’s a link there with coeliacs. I *don’t* have coeliacs, but I do have a strong gluten intolerance. Its SO hard to stay off the gluten, but I feel so, so much better when I do…
I think the allergy thing with children is a) environmental toxin build-up and b) shit in modern food. My children have food intolerances and can’t handle artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Which leaves not much but home cooked food and nothing in tins or jars except organic (tres expensive !!)
There may be long term genetic damage in our family as well – I have three great-grandfathers who were gassed in WW1; and for myself, I was gestated in and lived the first 5 years of my life in the Rhine Valley in Germany in the early 70′s – at that time one of the most polluted places one earth….
I do feel that we are the canaries in the mineshaft. In 20 or 30 years, this will be normal, and robust people like yourself will be in the minority (depending on how we handle The Shift, of course !)
Appreciate your reply. Just about
everything was organic when i was developing i guess due to the times (no supermarkets).
Did see food intolerances start to happen with friends children in the 70′s with hyperactivity resulting and much worse in the
90′s-2000′s. Pollution it is then it seems.
And i could roll around on them like a puppy!

YUMMO !!! I put pecans, hazelnut meal, pistachios and craisens into mine
…or I could eat your brownies and get up off your floor. YUM!
Throw one down to me
Well I’ve been reading Senator Conroy’s latest NBN update and you know what ! Soon we will be able to download cookies ! Yep, even my mother sees the sense in that .
heaven ! comforting !
oh my, read the recipe and all my senses go full-throttle – yes I can even see them..brownies..brownies…
yes, me too!
Been starting the day on my exercise bike followed by weights, and finishing it with chocolate … better go floss.
I am Leo Gem Rising and I have been stepping up the exercise and good eating – no carbs after midday, no sugar.. at least until Kataka Moon Man calls & says there is a vanilla & almond slice from a great bakery in the fridge I brought home last night – don’t worry, it only has a dairy, almost no sugar.. Two days of sugar detox headaches down the drain!
Moi aussi….using the treadmill and all the other equipment they have at gyms. Had no idea how much fun they are. My endurance & energy has radically improved jus from a total of 3 hours over 10 days.
Add 3 sessions of infa-red sauna and light therapy
on old injuries and i’m a powering away. The laser light dissolves scar tissue.
Going to start the anti-oxidant powders by MorLife
along with alkalising greens & spirulina.
After that the Kora skin care range will be in. It’s said you can EAT it it’s so delicious and natural.
After that dream you had, you deserve as much chocolate as you want Gem.
Yep. Feeling it. Bring on the nettle tea.
Somehow I’m doing both at the same time?! Just got out of the bath tub ( candles vogue oils and salts) now eating quinoa and kale with cookies in the oven…. Confused much? My scorp man is currently on a colon cleanse…. Seriously much more in trend!
Actually I am feeling lighter!
Mainly because my MIL has gone on hols. somewhere like this pic.
She has been living with me for three months & while she is incredible and super hard working (Cancer Sun, Rising Taurus, Moon in Virgo – also Ox Rising Ox) I feel her unprocessed stuff really deeply. It’s tiring.
The hub of course has Moon in Cancer – so he is happy with the whole Mum’s food thing – but we both wouldn’t mind.. that she live close by.
Any advice..? I know Feng Shui wise we are meant not to share the same roofline but there nothing I can do about that.
My mother has eerily similar astro. I am definitely the expert you need here. Mine lives down the road. Somehow it worked out that way, and yes it works. Your husbands attitude here is worrying. He’s possibly gone into a kind of zombie mode…cause if I was him, I’d be doing the extra yards necessary to ‘re house’ mum, in a more appropriate place.
For it to work , the strategy is ‘ it’s their idea’ they come up with the solution. You of course Are assisting them towards the light. Confronting the situation ? Nope. It’s their idea.
That is good advice. Now I just need a cunning plan. Off the top of my head, I think she would be a good person to get a house & fill it with students. Home Biz, lives for cooking, loves meeting people & speaks Canto & Mandarin, plus she would live rent free with instant dependants! Now how to drop that bomb in a convo artfully?
No the hub doesn’t want her here 24/7, he is just too busy being good dad/salary man. As mentioned he is a Sun 4th house, moon in cancer, über home & family. But he makes sure I know that I come first.
Ahe loves the kids which is great, but she is taking over my role a bit – that’s quite good too tho! Gives me time to write.
Implacable people with that astro, no doubt yr mum same!
We do everything together most days, something’s gotta give..I am a tiger rising tiger moon in Scorp, 2nd house sun Leo. I do need my castle to be mine!
Our synastry is a perverse blend of charming to disconcerting: her sun conj my Venus but also my Saturn – my chiron conjunct her NN (?) – my mars on her Saturn (!) – but also her Jupiter conjunct my Pallas – and she has been my strongest advocate starting my healing venture.
Thanks for helping me think it thru! Yr mum must be close to your fam, that’s beautiful.
The student rental idea is genius. So maybe start by calling a few agencies, work out the potential income etc. Now conjure up the premises, and the premise. Its interesting to me this dynamic. I was born into a house that had my mum and dad, my mums mum, and grandmother. From a child’s point of view ? Heavenly.
Aww! My Kataka boy is certainly happier with 24/7 attention and two mums. I will check out some sites.
I never met anyone who had three mums though… Oh David, your wife must be pretty special to compete with that!!!!!
Im making to do lists a mile long between bites of dark chilli chocolate. Screw you Saturn. I’m getting shit done but I’m taking rest brakes dammit!
dark chili chocolate- yes!
Wow Saturn has the heavies on me, I will reread latest Saturn advice from u mm… Again… I have gone sans carbs for a week and on a dark moon – no wonder I’m a raving furnace of melancholy…. So Saturn for me to find myself crying desperately asking the universe for help to be in alignment with my hearts dreams, needs, and goals… F me !
Cognitive dissonance (vs / contrasts) dynamic disequilibrium…the micro version is the individual’s perceived personal experience…mirrored by an also continuous macro economic and societal parallel?
Then this from a site on ecology;
If change is a universal constant in which nothing is static, what is a natural state?
A Scorpio with Saturn in Aquarius/ Jupiter in Taurus speculator with an anecdote, (casually dining at Florentinos Cellar Bar pre GFC) of Soros’s short selling of the British pound…but for all intents & purposes the moral was more interesting…the triple (?) layer of/ between where you believe where life is at, where you anticipate it will be at, to where it really is at/ going…
Got to put yourself out there somehow.
Speaking of simultaneous mismatch (& death by indecision) had a pattern-making tutor, vague and driven advise that it is all up to choice…
To understand ones true nature, we must first understand our constitutional position in the universe. Are we not just liittle sparklers on a minor planet , many light years from the central suns of our enormous galaxy. We’re all just blowing in the wind. Even Soros.
Coupled with this photo, that is unnervingly wise.
Saturn is about to make its last pass over my South Node and is bringing up many old issues of boundaries, co-dependency and people-pleasing. I have to remind myself that these issues are a life-long project for me: I’ve made great progress on them over the years, but I’ll always need to make sure I’m not acting unconsciously in these areas.
The past week I’ve gotten major clarity around these themes in some important relationships. It’s come in sudden jolts and feels affirming, but a little unnerving.
work! That is where I am at. Saturn yes.
I need it to distract myself from the boy leaving…..
and the mom there insulted his clothes to our cordinator…..bummer. Doesn’t sit well with me, even though I like her. I just am not that shallow.
Saturn is getting on y nerves1 tired of being a recluse and have been socializing despite I should b working my Hermit 12th House Saturn shite.
Just so tired of being tired, exhausted and ill, I could scream1 It seems I am off-kilter my friends always wanna go out on night’s i feel low to no energy or have a migraine. i feel great when everyone else is hungover and beat.
I wanna stay home and read, watch art films and eat dark chocolate but, I want to force myself to go out and meet new people!
Darling i don’t think that’s something you can force.
It’s cyclic. Try some supplements of a reputed brand name
and see if that makes a difference. There is a time to hibernate & a time to socialise, just go with it & trust yourself.
thanks.
I ended staying in. Just don’t have the energy to party yet. Don’t wanna be a party pooper.
Well for once I’m totally with the current vibe! Saturn is my new best friend. I wake up and think, ‘fantastic, a new batch of hours I can fill up by ticking things off my to-do list.’ Truly.
After months of trying to ‘phase in’ being a vegetarian, I’ve this week said, fuq it, I no longer eat meat, and am pretty much cooking two lots of meals, one for me and one for Mr Old School Meat & Two Veg (no judgement).
I’ve started my running program – I love how running sounds so much more hardcore than jogging, lol – still decluttering like a maniac and scenario planning-o-rama. Got my new affirmations ready to launch at the new moon and basil oil to feng shui my wallet. New moon will be conj my Leo ascendant. And yes my hair is looking awesome at the mo:)
Oh and just looked through the planetary placements and it’s hello Chiron, slap bang on my Sun et al. Healing at warp speed here
Right now it would kill me to keep off the crap for a few days.
I have been waiting like forever x infinity for events to change at work and whoosh I found myself in a casual conversation with management (post my birthday cake at work) that has infinite possibilities. I even got called an ‘expert’ OMG!
That sounds excellent!
I need to catch up with these recent blogs… getting interesting.
