You In The Zap Zone
So the next hit of the Zap Zone (the 2nd of many Uranus square Pluto exact hits) is happening in a few days time. See the gazillion previous posts on this, the must-know Zap Zone article (in the subscribers section) or your Zap Zone optimized Horoscopes for more.
But it’s heavy, a gigantic global, geopolitical disrupt and morph into – eventually – a better and more authentic distribution of resources, equality etc. Suitably, as i type this, there is rioting in the c.b.d of my city + some financial news that looks like precisely how i was told how NOT to manage my money during teenage ‘finances for derbrains’ type lessons. You know, if you’re in debt already you don’t go and get into more debt and only banana republics go & print money to solve shit etc etc.
ANYWAY, despite the obvious stress factors of the moment, the Zap Zone does offer a primal, fabulous opportunity to reinvent yourself and check back in with what your true passions are. Screw credit cards – authenticate yourself. And, in business or at work, you’ve got to vibe like you’re the shark – not the plankton. Even if you’re not quite feeling it yet.
So how y’all going with this? Reinvention Schemes? Phoenix fatigue?
Not to hijack the post but —
CONGRATS Mystic, just read your interview at D Minogue blog – witty fused with wisdom as always
Sorry — here is the link if you missed Mystic’s tweet stream:
http://danniiminogue.tumblr.com/post/31452842837/ive-discovered-this-really-cool-astrology-website
Fabulous!
That was AWESOME, Mystic! As always!!!
And thank you Quadrupled for posting the link!
Wow, that’s so cool Mystic – interesting questions and hilarious answers! I’m not into mainstream pop music, but I’ve always had bit of a soft spot for Dannii, she always struck me as a pretty cool chick, now it’s confirmed!
I love when you share your opinion on politics
omg well wot do u think of my ZZ article?
Oh, Mystic it’s. Insightful, brilliant, and fun as always!
Yeah that illustration is appropriate. It’s a little hard to phoenix when you’ve got one wing of feathers and the other of leather, like a bat.
P.S. “Rusty Pitchfork” LOL.
The Zap Zone is exploding at work. Here I was expanding in all areas of my personal life not to “evaporate” and I completely forgot about the work part of my life. Now working on releasing my attachments and open to wonderful brand new opportunities.
“Evolve or Evaporate” right?!
So you reckon The zap zone will morph into a “better and more authentic distribution of resources and equality” REALLY?? You’re dreamin!! Tell that to the mining magnates and Gina Rhinehart who wants to import cheap labour so she can stuff more money in her big fat greedy pockets. Hmph!!
the plutocrats will always be around but I think there’s a lot more networks evolving at a grass roots community level than there have been for years and that people are starting to engage in ways that may be a bit more impervious to the status quo/big business. Things like farmers selling their stuff direct to people and cutting out the middle man who is ripping everyone off. That’s definitely happening. There’s some good shit happening, maybe it just hasn’t made it to your neighbourhood yet.
Astro Fiend, it does not seem as if you have read my ZZ article or any of my other posts – obviously there are testing times ahead however my PERSONAL belief is that ultimately we will end up with a better system out of this. Pluto is in Capricorn until 2024 and already – at the very beginning of this trip – it is becoming apparent that an economy cannot thrive on indefinite debt fuelled growth, casino capitalism and insane inequities.
No… I HAVE read your ZZ articles and all your other posts. I just don’t agree with your optimistic outcome.
You did say it’s your “PERSONAL” belief. Well, it’s my PERSONAL belief that there will always be inequality because that’s how capitalism rolls. I wish I could believe that everything will be all roses but I don’t have strong Neptune or jupiter in my chart.
How many decades has the world tried to eradicate poverty and famine?? Has anything there changed? No. And women in middle eastern countries are still getting stoned to death. How about some equality and freedom for them!
That said, I totally agree with your last statement that economy cannot thrive on indefinite debt fuelled growth.
But this is why those leaked Stratfor emails and other leaked communiques from multinats like Citigroup all whisper about the “crisis of legitimacy” Astrofiend. The crisis being when the ruled en masse decide they will no longer put up with the corruption of the ruling elite who have become the cronies and paid servants of big business. Of course there are a shitload of people trying to squeeze more out the poorest people for less outlay on wages and safety standards etc – this has pretty much been predicted by the doomsayers of capitalism for quite some time, the whole system begins to self-canibalise because those at the apex simply cannot restrain their greed. But can’t you feel it? From the striking SA miners, to the families of the Hillsborough 96. We’re mad as hell and a whisker away from leaving our desks, our assembly lines, our homes and going into the streets, and if we do that for more than a month? The whole fucking edifice implodes. It’s not so much the slow in production, but the slow in consumption that brings the whole thing down like a house of cards. The Buffets etc already realize that Capital reforms or goes bust.
Periods of relative equality are never permanent, and I think we have reached the bottom of the downswing of this particular cycle.
Hear, hear! Bring on the ZZ I say!
well I’m not sure much could get weirder than last week but i was thinking today that the weirder it gets the more normal i feel.
Weird is my normal.
exactly
me too wolfy x
Problem with QU3 as I understand it, if they don’t print $, pretty much a world wide depression hits? To rip off the band-aid or peel it back slowly.. eek.
Def. reinvention schemes… fiance and I are dreaming of ways to create abundance for our small fam by doing things that we really love. Music, art, gardening, etc… such exciting times!! really feeling like we are on the brink of something life-changing.
I just feel so tired ans stressed out….
not sure if this is the phoenixing thing, but, as aqua, i feel the world is in seroius matter nowadays….
we had: the benghazi riot,
that infamous video on you tube talking about religion,
climate change at its max,
and lots of peeps struggling to stay alive and save their poor cash.
I feel sorry for the entire world. I’m very sad.
and yes, i had difficult, personal times as well. like death of people i know…
and I feel a sense of degeneration all around…seems like violence and hate are spreading their poison all around…
or is it just me thinking that? if someone tels me I’m only a bit tired, i would be lighten….:|
no you’re right. i was talking about this only a few minutes ago. i have a sense that there’s a lot of people who are angry about things that have happened to them at an individual level and that a lot of them are at a point where they’re standing there with their fuses in their hand waiting for the ‘right’ person with a ‘big picture’ box of matches to come along and light it for them. And that the individuals will use the big picture issue as a conduit for the channelling of their own personal rage as well.
It IS scary. But the only thing you can take care of is you and yours at the level you are at because the only way we can ever stop the big picture ugly is to deal with other individuals with the same love and respect we would like to be treated with ourselves. I’m not even a new ager. This just makes sense to me.
Maybe stop watching the news for a few days if you’re finding it immobilises you? I watched an amazing documentary about an american depression era photographer named Disfarmer yesterday – sbs on demand if you’re in australia. And one of the things that made me smile was that the people in the town he photographed said they didn’t even know there was a depression happening until afterwards because to them it was just life and they were getting on with it. Mass media had not infiltrated their consciousness so they were only dealing with their scenario at a community level and the spectre of doom had not cast its long shadow over them. There was not an overriding feeling of the entire universe coming apart, to them it was just a bad season and they got on with things.
It may seem simplistic but what good is knowing about the interest rates day in day out to you? Seriously. I’m taking an arm’s length approach to the news at the moment. These transits are at a global level as well as personal and I can have no control over any of the global angle so I’m dealing with it in my neighbourhood. Those are the people I see every day. I have a stellium in the third though – maybe you could use your chart to find a way to channel the feelings you’re having? sorry for banging on. I’m feeling like uranus conjunct my north node in aries is surging in my veins today. Haha might take it to the neighbourhood.
I agree with you about the rage just waiting for the right trigger to be released, unrelated, as long as you can blow off.
Seeing it happen on personal level. Realized just shortly ago I have the power to stop the bucket right where I am and not feeding the spiral of negativity, because it resolves nothing to unleash the beast in a destructive way. And if I can by my behaviour influence just one or two people to rethink, it could be enough…
yeah I relate to what you’re saying it’s like those moments sometimes when it could go either way and you have that split second to choose which aspect of yourself to unleash and depending on which you choose you are able to see immediately how that undulates outwards. Really tangible moments of conscious choice seem much more available at the moment. Since I realised my behaviour was a choice I’ve had situations that have escalated for whatever reason – in shops in those random customer ‘service’ situations are a good example – and when I’ve chosen the not-beast they have suddenly dissipated and gone in a whole different direction and its as if everyone present feels a physical release. Their shoulders relax etc. and they suddenly become their own form of the not-beast. Some peeps are deeply entrenched tho!
I know. I am actually quite entrenched too. How often have I passed up “showing love” in favour of … what exactly? The easy way? The accepted way? The mainstream thinking?
The apologies I am talking off are not the doormat version ones, but those coming from the deep realization that your behaviour was wrong and has caused harm.
And definetly, a little bit goes a long way and as much as it seems like a huge weight now … there have to be people demonstrating this kind of behaviour/values to others even at the cost of being ridiculed by 90%
LOL I don’t do doormat either. The weird thing about the ‘choosing’ to show love or whatever it is that is the least dissonant option in any given situation is that eventually it just becomes who you are and there’s no point of ‘conscious’ choice any more. You are not that other person any more. They have ceased to exist. You’re not in Kansas any more toto.
Yes, I am definetly seeing this happening within myself. The more often I do it, the easier it becomes without thinking too much about it, but right now I still have to conciously realize where I am going wrong and where it is ok to be firm and how to resolve it constructively if I have to take a stand. Expressing anger without being hostile. Trusting my own judgement. Being secure in what I am and believe no matter how others react.
You are right, it could be a 2nd house issue, I have Saturn retro there, tightly tightly opposing my Cap Venus in 8.
In astro terms i think this stuff might be a combination of 2nd and 4th house axis issues – values/philosophies and familial conditioning? Are there any astro fiends out there reading this who know?
am answering you here because it’s getting skinny – I have saturn tightly opposing my venus too! Only mine’s saturn in the 10th and venus in the 5th.
So with yours having the ruler of the tenth house (saturn rules the tenth house because it’s the ruler of capricorn) in the 2nd house means there’s potential for wealth but I’m not sure how that goes when it’s opposing venus which is the traditional ruler of the 2nd house (because it rules taurus) normally that would give challenges with getting along with family and maintaining wealth. So an interesting combo that one. And I think there might some kind of mutual reception going on there but I’m not sure.
Saturn’s a wet blanket opposite your venus I know that for sure tho. I have venus and mercury conjunct so it’s more like a dank quilt. Right now transiting saturn’s one degree off conjuncting them and will cease opposing natal saturn over the next few weeks. I can’t wait to have my joie de vivre back. I’m sick of being stoic and determined to overcome all obstacles with a smile on my face. Yet it’s weird I can’t remember how the old me would feel right now. She’s gone.

Re Venus-Saturn:
Thanks for the link. I said 2nd house, but actually it’s attached to the 3rd/9th house axis (Placidus). So what better use I say, then to become an art teacher? And my Venus is conj. Mercury too, albeit out of sign.
tSaturn is just past exact of t-squaring those two.
Wanted to add:
It’s darn hard to fight the conditioning if most people around you keep telling you that you are overthinking things if you come to the conclusion that you should be grateful, express thanks, apologize for mistakes and just treat people with kindness and respect.
SNAP!
OMG how far does an apology get you if you’re wrong? It’s amazing. It totally disarms people. They really don’t expect it. It would be hard to maintain the status quo in your inner circle if you changed in that way and those around you weren’t ready – yet. But you’re doing the right thing x
Hard? Really, I have given up trying to talk to people about it … gosh, do you know how you are being looked at when you are trying to tell people that you know certain things to be right from an inner feeling/soul point of view even tho the outward “facts” are showing a different picture, sort of, if you base your conclusions on mainstream conditioning?
“the only way we can ever stop the big picture ugly is to deal with other individuals with the same love and respect we would like to be treated with ourselves.” I totally agree with you clued up! thanks for this beautiful sentence, it ought to be written on some tee-shirt and walls.
I also thank Aquaria, for her post, I certainly agree with you as well…and it’s lovely and uplifting to read what you beautiful ladies wrote…
it make sense to me also that the only, likely way to manage the ‘situation’ is to be aware of our own inner stuff and to try to do the work on ourselves first, then, as a result, it could be epidemic hopefully, and self respect and love could be the other one’s gift. as aquaria said, it is in the very everyday moments that we can choose to respond to others from a place of peace or from one of anger, and I’m sure it does make the difference, although it’s a bit difficult sometimes, it requires discipline, and it’s sometimes exchanged and seen as weakness, but I think it’s not.
and yesssss!!! it’s true, you can definitly see the person in front of you relaxing and changing expression if you do this….it’s amazing. sometimes a simple heartfelt smile is enough to change the day….
(saying this as my natal mars is opposing natal mars and sun LOL)…!
I’m reading that old bestseller book by the Dali Lama and a scientist about anger and destructive emotions…very interesting reading…
ps
clued up: congrats on your Uranus on the NN!!!
seems like you’re on the path to sudden brilliant beams of clarity on your evolution. and that you are willing to share what you personally have learnt and will learn. an amazing transit! keep us informed, and take care xx, as you know, at the end of the day, there’s really no separation between things and people, as “the wave is the sea” (Willigis Jager) and we’re all inter-related….
thanks molly – but don’t get me wrong, there’s no halos sprouting at my house. i’m having a saturn conjunction on two personal planets right now – its not all beer and skittles
I can relate clued, I’ve been under the cold/cool teacher (saturn squaring my venus) for more than a year now. it’s was no funny at all at the beginning, i felt the urge to cut up with many people and old crap relationships, and i just didn’t understand, at the moment, what the hell i was going to do. i also had some sense of guilt with me, like questioning myself things like “am i being too severe? am i afraid of something? did i take the right decision?” all the things in the past i had enjoyed, became something i just couldn’t stand anymore. now I can recognize how this was necessary to me, and my evolution. but it’s not ended yet. so definitly, no beer and skittles for me too, or only with the left ones who i can really relate with my whole self. no faking fu**** relationships.
cheers x
i liked the image of the “new soil”
Thank you all, for showing me that I am not the only crazy person in a sane world
Universe, Fate, whatever-you-call-it have been pushing towards a certain path/person for awhile now, the urge to just take a leap and be open is ever increasing, but honestly? I am scared shitless. Absolutely scared shitless.
And I don’t even know if I am scared that I could possibly be wrong and just totally under some new-age-hippy-neptune-fog thus rejected or that I could be right and take on the responsability.
I want it, and yet at the same time it would be so much easier to just go back to sleep.
Sigh, synchro abound … Hecate is actually conj my NN.
Argh.
craziness vs sane world: honestly, who gives a ****;)
lol
as long as you’re a creative, smart, open hearted woman. as you seem, you are welcome, my dear aqua friend:)
and your feelings of being afraid, they are also welcome. and if you want to take a nap, go on and take it.
you can either ‘change the world’ and have some good sleep too.
edit to say: if there are at least “fifty shades of grey;)” there must be more than just one white or black/ good or evil conduit. maybe you’ll just find out what is right for you in living it through at each moment.

I had a dream once where an old woman was picking flowers in my garden and when I looked into her eyes and I knew she was Hecate. The old woman took 7 flowers. And I woke up. It was a turning point – I know now that saturn was just about to enter the sign on my ascendant / 12th house when it happened. At the time it was at the end of transiting my 11th house of friends and aspirations. A few months later I left all those people behind because they weren’t vibing with my changes. But when it happened all I could think was why did that old lady pillage my garden? and what does this mean? The dream has never left me. It’s taken 11 years to work it out and it hasn’t been easy to be without some of those flowers but what I can say for sure is the soil is so much more fertile and ready for new growth now. I have no idea what you’re about to do and whether it’s going to work out for you but if you are changing from the inside out there’s always a phase that involves going solo for a while. Important to have faith that it’s not forever. Because it isn’t.
Interestingly, friday night I dreamed I was going to be shot, and I didn’t feel frightened about it at all.
I’ve read that you have those kind of dreams when you are about to turn pages.
love this dream cuw
I know it looks discouraging but keep the faith in that the world has to cleanse itself from aeons of darkness and ignorance. Noone gets off the hook on either a personal or global level…Everything from Atlantis and after is coming up for purging..
From a channeled session…
“Every stone must be unturned”….
“And all of that, that would be as fear and plague to mankind, today it is within their grasp and therefore, in God’s grasp in them”
“As mankind would humble themselves before Her, she would welcome them into Her heart”…
~Lord Zadkiel
Except for the most resistant, the world is moving into enlightenment but first all this stuff has to be released and gotten out of the way. In the future there will be a frictionless world of perpetual motion.
~Perpetual motion describes “motion that continues indefinitely without any external source of energy~ (Wiki)
It comes from the inside…from the Source of our beings…See?
All the stuff that is going on is just resistance…thats all and, it’s an illusion! We don’t quite see that now, but one day, we will. x
tha’s so lovely sweetpea…
u brought tears to my eyes. thank you xx
That is beautiful, thank you as well..
I am exhausted physically. I have many planets in the heart of this square…and much in Cap, too.
Among many other concerns..my son, who graduates HS this year wants to join the USMC. *sigh… he is a Sagg like me. There’s still hope that he changes his mind :/
..and lately i cannot stop fantasizing about Zac Efron..I’ve been zapped!
that must be very worrying
did you know that the saying “every stone must go unturned” is from a time when jews were being hunted basically and there was a stone at the front of every door in the town the saying comes from that indicated whether the household was jewish or not… It is a terribly prejudicial statement that has become common vernacular…
The saying refers to ignorance and that one must be responsible for it..
From a higher view it has nothing to do with beliefs..
Unless one chooses to stay there..
Perpetual motion is all about letting go of all that..not hanging on..
It is universal in it’s application..
We must learn to not take things so personally for this will bog us down from that universiality…
Sweets
came in from mowing yard to thank you for confirmation for something that has been on my mind. blessings hon
xo more to follow, daylight wanes…
Hugs to you too darl…Love that you mow…I remember that when I had an actual house on an actual street in an actual neighborhood…lol x
How Deep it Goes,
Wanted to come back and tell you that my nephew went into the USMC right out of HS…He just came back from Afghanistan about a month ago..He’s 20 now I believe…
It was nothing like he’d thought it would be…(go figure) and he will not be re-enlisting.
If you care to leave you or you son’s email info over at my daughter’s site at Janae Monir (blog), I’m sure my nephew wouldn’t mind giving some inside info on the realities if your son should be so inclined.
As a mother, I understand your concerns…x
Ugh! Zap Zone. Thank god I have the week off work – don’t need to be part of that farce (not dodging responsibility, promise, I have it off for a wedding). It’s unbelievable how deluded my senior team mates are. I hope they are zapped hard so they start doing their jobs properly without me there!
Wedding. Because the Universe doesn’t already make me feel lonely and unwanted enough. AND I have to see the guy I was a love zombie over a few years back. I’m physically repulsed by him now and have no desire to remember what I freak I was.
Although, it could be a timely reminder… I’ve been missing my ex-lover horrendously these last few days. I haven’t contacted him and gone a Qi vampire/love zombie on his arse – but God I want to. I even dreamt we were kissing last night!
I processed the the thing, came up with a new relationship protocol, dissolved all intense emotions associated with thoughts of him, decided there was no chance in hell i would get back together with him. Bang. Last few days I miss him. I’ve decided it must be the work of the zap zone.
Goddamn Zap Zone.
Oh. And of course it didn’t help that TWICE him and I drove past each other. Like, seriously, why wasn’t he at work, and why weren’t I at work, and why were we both in the car driving past each other, and why did I see him!? And I don’t think he saw me. So, really, why am I being punished. He was the wrongdoer.
Whoa. Bit of a rant there!
Lol… i’m quite good with your rant.. as opposed to some others on the interwebs! Much of it bores me to pieces
I Feel it and Welcome it again, as I had a bit of a rest/crash end of Aug-beginning of Sept. Muddled head is clear again. The Phoenix Mojo is coming back!
Right now I am all about my job! I am in a situation where I HAVE to prove myself or I will disintegrate with misery. When I reach a point that I have proved THEM wrong I feel empowered. It has been happening a lot lately. You cannot imagine the crap I have been told to try and belittle me. It is amazing. But they can’t make feel belittled when I have authorities supporting me with my decisions. The confidence I am building is a great step towards reinventing myself. Convincing myself that I am good at what I do and noone can tell me otherwise. I have always made myself feel less of myself… so maybe this phase in my life will change that.
Off to read the Zap Zone thread! xo!
After reading your post MM I went to check out web about the riots in Sydney – how to tolerate the intolerant – when did Salman Rushdie release his book that resulted in the fatwah being proclaimed on him – wonder if there’s an astro link here…
I had a week or two of hairy moments that led to a spot of phoenix fatigue, but after a rest, review, and ‘route recalculation’ (to quote my sat nav), everything is starting to fall into place. Still a few hurdles to jump before I get to my next destination, but almighty forces have come to my aid, (Pluto is still my bitch!), so I feel like I’m definitely back on track as far as rocking the shit out of the Zap Zone goes…
“you’ve got to vibe like you’re the shark – not the plankton” – Fuqing love it!
Had a MUCH needed burst of ‘this is why you have to phoenix and not just turn into a useless, miserable blob of never-was.’ Can’t really remember what it was, just that I woke up this morning with a BUZZ. A real stomach buzz – something’s about to happen, prep prep prep, go out for a walk and stretch all that tension out, quit wasting time on Facebook – it only makes you angry/ cringe/ upset/ bored, don’t waste another second, DON’T waste another second friggin’ WORRYING about everything and fearing every single what-if!
I think it helped that I had 9 hrs sleep. I actually dreamed of a project I’m hoping to make happen and it was happening – lucid, fabulous, me in the place I want to be. A glimpse of my future? Jeez, I hope so – minus the moths. Too many moths in the dream.
Anyhoo, off to shopping with mother (to buy power tools – yes POWER tools! – ha!) and then home to community meeting this arvo to discuss how we, as a collective, can overcome a development planned for over the road from me. People power!
I love what you wrote, Mystic, about vibing like a shark. I tend to vibe fluffy bunny so I think I need to get my ‘fake it ’til you make it’ power predator act on. Going to be hard and very un-me but it’s time. What have I got to lose? And even if I lose it/ them, who gives a fuq? It obviously doesn’t fit in to this next phase of ‘me’ that I’m entering. But it’s all good.
I’m trying to make that my ZZ mantra – “Go with it. It’s all good.” I’ll see how long that lasts
Read that as “flake it til you make it” lol works for me.
Re Facebook – I never joined, with Neptune in my 7th natally I assume I have made the correct choice!
EG, remember, even fluffy bunnies stomp their feet when they’re unhappy with proceedings. I hate to give unsolicited advice (especially to another Capricorn) but you’ll find it easier to fake it till you make it if you approach vibing shark by coming from a place of loving and nurturing yourself rather than trying to make it an exercise in self-assertion that feels un-you. In every situation, small or large (like from deciding when to get out of bed, and what to have for breakfast, to major confrontations with fuqwits taking advantage of your kind nature) really stop and put yourself before everyone else, ask yourself “what do I really want right now? Is this situation pleasing to ME? Will helping this person/situation take energy I don’t have to spare right now?” After you get the hang of pleasing yourself before everyone else, you naturally stop vibing the plankton.
I found this approach made vibing bunny with shark fangs a natural progression rather than some sort of forced thing that doesn’t feel ‘me’… if you love and respect yourself, it leads to healthy boundaries and the assertiveness required to become a fuqwit free zone becomes second nature.
The first confrontation will probably feel a bit uncomfortable, but if you can empty your mind of pre-conceived ideas about how someone is going to respond, and find the strength to push through it without giving a fuq about who you might upset in the process, you’ll probably be amazed at how easy it is. Decent people will step back and start respecting you and your boundaries, those that sulk or try laying a guilt trip are the ones you’re better off without anyway. (I know, you know that!)
Hadn’t read your comment before I posted mine. I think EG has a Libra Asc? Hence the bunny vibing, considering and pleasing others etc etc. But there are Librans out there who can get tough when the going gets rough.
“… the assertiveness required to become a fuqwit free zone becomes second nature.” LOVE it, Saturnalien!!
Fuqwit free zone. Now that would be a nice outcome of the ZZ.
Yeah, I think the fluffy bunny approach/ fear/ sookyness is definitely the Libby asc. But you raised a very good point – empty your mind of pre-conceived ideas of how ppl will react. That is excellent and PRACTICAL advice for me, a very practical Cap who anticipates how situations will go before I’m in the situation. Silly habit.
Trop Scorp – I don’t think any Scorp I’ve met has been a fluffy bunny. You don’t want to be. If you’re naturally ‘sharky’ and get what you want, that’s awesome! I actually have my asc at 20 deg Libra and most of my 1st house in Scorp (’til 26 deg actually). Maybe I should tap into that and pretend I’m a Scorp Asc for a while. A bunny with bite
Haha…. well, I had a different reaction to shark vibing.
I think I tend to vibe like a shark and it got me into trouble at work last week. Not real trouble but more of a personality clash. I have a feeling they won’t be asking me back there!
Not that I give a shit. It was a pain to get there by public transport. And I don’t like being treated like a slave and not being thanked for it. Not one single thank you for all the blood sweat and tears! It’s fuqing rude!!
Maybe I should try and vibe more like a bunny? Meh, I couldn’t if I tried!! I am what I am and Pluto is only 3º away from my Cap Asc adding extra oomph!
I got zapped big time during the last ZZ/full moon in Cap moon but life is fantastic right now!
Scorpio vibing bunny… http://www.suzanneforbes.com/portraits/paintings/paintings-Pages/evil_bunny_nixon.html
It doesn’t help that the Sun is in my personal Zap Zone – Pluto-Jupiter-South Node-IC-Uranus conjunction – but I feel like I’m on the verge of SOMETHING HUGE. A massive life-shift.
Gardening? Tick! I started last summer but got a bit despondant over the winter when it was too wet and cold to hang out in the garden and the weeds took over. But since spring has sprung have done a bit of weeding, pruning and mulching. Looks fabbo with coriander, basil, parsley, mint, blueberries, lime, chilli, tomato and an olive bush. Plus some geraniums, marigolds, hibiscus and petunia for the birds and bees.
… am now starting sketches for a rockery and sculpture garden and raised vege patch. Plus watching the cheeky crow who has taken to hanging out in the back garden with me and steals the cat food when it thinks I’m not looking. Cat finds large black crow thing bizarre and looks on highly bemused.
Art? Tick! Love art school! Love painting! Sculpture – interesting and challenging. Have a mound of clay here that I want to make something out of and a blank canvas ready to start a new painting.
Work? Tick! Seems the more I let go of the biz and just let it do its thing the better it is. Have got a heap of new clients this year. Of course I have to put in the leg work. Updated my website early in the year and started a blog dedicated to all things designery. People seem to like it.
Health? … getting there! Vastly improved from a year ago though.
Ummm … life’s good! Have discovered there is much joy and serenity to be had from the small and the ordinary. Gave up on chasing excitment and the “big drama” and have never been better for it.
Best of luck to all you zap zoners!
nice work prowlers – you deserve to be happy.
I can highly recommend Ceramic Arts Daily – they have a stack of free videos and how-tos
Interesting – Mr Triffid is Kataka Moon and has suddenly taken up Composting. After years and years of me *begging* him to do the garden.
He has a green thumb, which I find highly annoying as I’m the type of gardener who checks the soil ph, wind speed and direction, humidity levels, phase of the moon and companion plants before planting; and he just whacks in the plant and plops soil around it. Guess who gets the best results ?!
Anyway, he’s been gardening this and last weekend and the garden has absolutely blossomed for him. Even the previously unhappy citrus trees have come out in a mass of blossom and when the prevailing wind blows, the whole garden smells like paradise…..
I swear I’m not going all Kafka or Black Swan, but this morning as I woke up I had a sudden sensation that I was becoming part-phoenix. I could feel my toenails becoming talons and the tufts of feathers sprouting from the crown of my head.
It was a brief vision that overlaid my everyday self, and after it was over I proceeded to get up, make breakfast, feed pets, and do the other mundane things of life. But I do think it was a message from the Universe for me to be aware of the magic of transformation and to embody it.
WOW i love that – i saw a Phoenix once, like an actual vision. Sensational.
I found that a particularly ‘Dark’, dark moon…boo hoo self loathing old Demons and all – vile.
It’s now not long after the New Moon and I swear I can feel myself slowly gaining altitude.
*wind shear! wind shear! don’t think, pull up, pull up!*
Whew, that one actually had me worried.
Set new flight path, and on Auto Pilot to CRUISE…..
Usually I work very hard to keep on keel.
I believe the more happy and balanced people there are emitting love from our unbelievably powerful hearts the better!
But I feel sorry for the world too.. I saw Dark Knight last night and I tried really hard not to take on board the world view of unethical desperation.
It may be representative or it may be a way of brainwashing the masses into giving up hope, inoculating them against compassion so that they remain passive? I wonder.
One part of the movie made me think: If you don’t fear death, does it make you weaker or stronger? Is it like Casteneda said, “Fear makes you run wildly, but love gives you wings”? I think so. But it must be consciously cultivated compassion.
To me it seems that the Zap Zone is all about this decision.
Once you have decided your position, it no longer matters who wins or loses, just as long as you have played your part.
My position is: I want stay in the eye of the storm and not run away, not lose hope, not give in to fear.
I don’t fear death. I fear my weakness. I want to try and stay here as long as possible to learn how to emit courage, peace & love in the face of adversity.
The native american saying, “We don’t inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children” has never been more important to me.
Right On.
Yes yes yes!!!!
WOW!

Love Zombies can fight back – this kickstarter (that has now been funded) looks like a cracker – on revenge – thought of you MM & y’all reformed LZ’s, PIAB’s & HFF’s – only cause it looks like fun, not that I think anyone is crazy for “revenge” lol.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/897202754/whats-revenge-the-worlds-first-docu-vengeance?ref=recommended
Some of the pledge rewards were natal charts & tarot readings by the director, great idea?!
This looks interesting. I certainly couldn’t do it! Chasing misery.
IKR, but it does look like these girls will have a ball, not just a concept for dramatisation & docu-film.
Is it normal to have deja vu – ish like symptoms for about a week? Kinda freaks me out. I’ve had it in the past but it’s not a usual thing. (I’m not saying I think I am imbued with anything, it’s not a constant state of mind, ect). It is, however, a weird phenomena that I usually shy away from even mentioning for various reasons and I don’t know what I’m meant to do when it happens, if anything or how to process it.
I was on an interstate train and someone who sat next to me said to me that I seemed extremely familiar and indeed it was in some ways as though we were old(yet still awkward)friends.(Not in a pick up line kind of way.) This is kinda the moment it all triggered. ANyway
Not sure if this is to do with the ZZ maybe?? Could this explain it?
Also may have left me with some LZ residue.. an entirely different issue what can I do to shake this aspect before the infection takes over?!
Although it’s not LZ residue exactly, it’s reminiscent of it (I think) and while not entirely sure what is does mean, is not meant to indicate I think destined to be, or anything like that. But I can’t stop thinking about the trigger point. Am I just crazy?
The deja vu type phenomena continued afterwards. It’s all hard to explain the semantics of it.
Dosing with flower essences. Trying to figure out if rejecting potential long time gentle cancer suitor is a good thing vs sticking with my problematic, loyal but oh so aloof sagg bf of two years. My narcissist mother loves the kataka guy, who is perfect is every single way except… I have zero chemistry with him.
I have been fighting good fight in last two years, and everything has to be reconfigured again as far as team. Everything just stopped. I am tempted sometimes to just elope with the kataka guy whose dream is to save the world and take care of me – plus he is rather wealthy, doesn’t have to work, is kindest man I have ever met – and yet I can’t bring myself to. My sagg bf and my mother don’t even talk. What is UP with these two polarities in my life?
What is my lesson? More phoenixing and belief and independence? Or chill the fuck out and live life calmly for a change, treated like a queen?
Argh.
Schrödinger’s cat
I say go with the road less travelled. Maybe the chemistry will kick in on the terrace of the Hotel Splendido over some decent champagne
Mars in scorpio and all the rest of the astro is like weapon in my backpack right now. I am very tired of people who are not getting the bigger picture and have no energy to be in their lives beyond what paths need crossing. At work I am exposed to the general public in a way that horrifies me about how serious F*ed up people are and yet they breed and breed, people are turning into mindless zombies demanding stupid socially acceptable forms of addiction and brain numbing will help them. Adults behaving like children, children being left to turn to marketing puppets in the absence of true authority. Being 2.5 and switched off has never looked so ugly. I literally have for most of my life been on some kind of managed rage I use to enforce my good discipline and love of not contributing to crap but this allergy is being severally tested right now. I’m fighting for my corner whilst not forgetting to love on the way. I love this energy inside me right now but what a fucking environment to practice in
Good practice!
But hard work…
If it helps, learning to see auras helped me very much. Gave me more compassion and less frustration. Haven’t got it perfectly down but when I remember to ‘look’ I see the person differently & respond quite differently.
I have always been able to see auras andie. I was born seeing into people, this is why I get frustrated with them.
and this is very different to what i am talking about
For various reason surrounding your comment it did help me as it changed my understanding on other levels, so it felt pertinent to me.
the last time i was in one of the kinds of employment situations ms appears to be in right now I would sit at my desk and look across the open plan office (designed to feel more humane than a vertical factory but not really doing it for me) and have such rabid thoughts of irrational rage that sometimes I was choking and couldn’t breathe. Physically choking. At the thought of what this place was doing to the world and the environment and the whole big picture thing. I was writhing in it.
Sometimes it took all of my self-control to maintain a level of composure that would enable me to stay in my seat instead of enacting the imagined act of picking up a chair and throwing it from the 14th story window just to see what the sound of the glass breaking would be like. Holding back the desire to stand up and scream bloody murder at the top of my lungs shit like ‘if this was 100 years ago you’d all be on the production line making matches’ or ‘You’re all fuqing battery hens, you know that, don’t you?’ ‘None of you will ever be anything more than drones sleepwalking your way through your broken-arsed dreary lives breeding like cattle perpetuating more drones for the machine and spending your days off at IKEA aspiring to modular living and revelling in Fridays like it’s bacchanalia all over again because you’re allowed to wear jeans…’ Shit like that. On a daily basis. Tyler Durden & me. Locked in a mind meld of epic proportions.
The lovely woman who sat near me started talking to me about buddhism one day
and how the workplace can sometimes bring out the extreme opposite of who we are at heart. All I could think as my eyes darted around the tea room looking for the ejector switch was “fuq buddha, if he was here I’d fuqing punch him’
I can’t speak for MS and where she’s at but sometimes I see a kaleidoscopic shard, a glimmer of myself in that experience I had in her words and although I’m not there now and plan never to go back there I can totally relate to the rage. But when I was knee-deep in that shit there was nothing anyone could say. Hard to be the person whose instinct it is to soothe that savage beast when that’s where it’s at.
I’ve never worked in one of those places again. The day my time in those environments ended is curiously linked to the astro of now. Saturn is conjuncting that point where venus went direct in 2010 I think? Looking back is sometimes good for current context.
Anyways, whatever. I love the spirits of you both, take it easy – or not

Hmmm… I have to say that Buddhism has helped me enormously in seeing the world with compassion, rather than rage. Mind you, when I was in a Corporate workspace it hurt me so much that it made me physically unwell. I used to write fantasy novels in my lunchbreak, primarily to be anywhere else but there. Even now, reading back over my diaries of over four years ago, I still feel that surge of pain. I want to grab that “me” and shake her and scream “STOP. JUST QUIT. YOU HATE IT. THIS IS DAMAGING YOU. STOP”. I keep those diaries, when I burnt a stack more, because I don’t ever want to make that mistake again. I made it twice. Never again.
I have also found, despite a deep and abiding cynicism about “Following what you love” (ie: what is someone trying to sell me by selling me this idea ?) I have found that it is true; to the extent that I have had a series of serendipitous events which have allowed me to explore a creative career for the last two years.
This is something I would have found wholly unbelievable before I started, and I am still feeling my way through the situation… but its quite real.
Although I haven’t quite got there yet, my path is clearer now (I’m standing on it !
) and I have worked out how to honour my creativity.
Oh, and I found a fabulous, very young ceramicist who has been in the business for five years and who is exhibiting, winning competitions and teaching. I have a role model
I’m glad that Buddhism helped you find happiness Triffid we all need more of that.
Would like to say to any Buddhists out there that no offense was intended to your beliefs by the anecdote. The Buddhist woman was right. Putting yourself in environments that go against your core ethics and values is bound to trigger some powerful things.
oh, and nice work on the mentor.
Thanks CUW, it’s ok I still love Ms. I just go my period and with Mars close conj. my Moon in Scorpio I don’t feel like apologising for my point of view for the millionth time here and everywhere else. Probably anymore than any Scorp feels equanimity is the answer right now.
oh it wasn’t about not liking each other anymore or anything like that – do what you want both of you
it was that i could feel a bit of both of you and it made me think of how those environments are so toxic and you come in contact with so much that is alien to you and your natural inclinations and it can really fuq with your serenity + sanity (but also be totally motivating) and then that you’re a mum and you’re coming from a nurturing place and I could see that point in the middle where they were forming static and it reminded me of that lovely woman. I can’t even remember her name. But she could see the me behind the angst. Soz I’ve been feeling allegorical today. I don’t think either of you are wrong or have to apologise to each other or anything. You’re just both coming from different places. It happens.
Mars is on my moon too! Am having the least painful blood letting ever. I put it down to valerian of an evening.
good morning heh.
I don;t have time to respond to all of this but even though my job is what it is, it’s also the first time I have had to deal with the general public front and center like this for a long time so it’s been eye opening when I am going in after looking after my own life, doing the good thing and balancing my other jobs to come and see where people are really at. It’s not at them, it’s the exposure and its frightening. As we are understaffed I make quick decisions all day about my treatment of others, which is always on mark but does not prevent me from the insights. My role in their life is not to point this out despite my other witching skills so the best I can do is provide a calm or self assuring energy. This is very exhausting to do on mass. My managed rage is not a bad thing, its what has kept me militant in times of need. Like now, when I am on my own in a big city with no net. Like millions of other people. We just crack on with it. I’ll quit when I can of course but there’s not a great deal of work around here which is why everyone I work with is talented and amazing well above their post and everyone I know is in the same position almost.

Anger can be a useful fuel, especially when you’re exhausted and in it for the long haul. I think the trick is to *use* it as fuel, rather than direct it either outwards or inwards. Being able to label it clearly “I feel rage” means that you know here you’re coming from and you’re being clear eyed about what is happening.
Its when its under your radar and you don’t know why you feel so crap that it becomes destructive…
I personally find dealing with the general public absolutely psychically draining (damn my empathy !!) as I have a sign over my head which says “Lost tourists, old ladies, people with mental health issues, small children” in big, pink fluffy letters
I used to use heavy duty aura shields, but almost suffocated myself after forgetting to take one down
those jobs you do are part of learning how to deal with this rage – or finding your own path out so you’re able to use the energy to cut through some other granite rock face that’s on your own agenda as opposed to having to work with someone else’s. I know this because it happens to me too when I am forced by fiscal lack to go there. I have no advice to give just want to let you know that I feel your pain and to say I still think you would own a stage if you did some training in method acting xxx
Ms. you should buddy up with an Aqua, they’re seriously working the astro!
Right now, with Pluto sitting at 6* Capricorn, I am having the final hit of my long term Pluto square Pluto transit….
With transiting Uranus opposite my natal pluto still…
I don’t know where to start….but major changes afoot, some good, some not sure yet.
There was a square dec. 1933 . I have it aries/cancer –5th/8th. I don’t see the redistribution coming in your lifetime. The unusual disruption read explosion, looks as if it will happen any time now.
BTW – hot tip/insight:
I cannot establish a routine, but I *can* observe the one I have, and work with it.
People with babies may recognise this one
LOve it. Began feeling it in late 2008. It really took off in August 2011, when I had a true life change, and then another through the winter. After that, I refused to let anything set me back. I had another big change the night of June 23rd; I fell in love! Capi Sun, Taurus Moon, Virgo Asc. with Pluto in the first and Mars in Aries.
shark not plankton, got it!!
I was thinking the same thing myself..right about now. Things are really moving forward..dang man, with Mars on my Mercury, in the 10th, I can see everything from ten feet high and well that empowers me:)
I love you Mystic:):)
yep I am being the shark not the plankton
authentic friends and associates are loving me more
false friends quickly reveal themselves, hating my show of strength
I’m Just observing the reactions with detachment and staying aligned to my own honour code, goals, feelings etc
