Oestro-Medusa For October Is Up & So Are We
Oestro-Medusa – my monthly horoscopes from In Style magazine – for October is Up and so are WE. Yes. Anyone still relatively sane and functional after the last fortnight is going to be a Diva Genius Person of Awesome in the Zap Zone.
So long as we’re not dinosauring – you know, convinced that conditions in the tar pit are going to come right again soon – things are going to be good. Weird, interesting times and evolutionary crap can be exhausting but good nonetheless.
AND hey there are only four more days till Saturn fuqs off out of Libra. Saturn in Scorpio – amongst many other things of course – is going to manifest as peeps polarizing with sex: neo-chaste or slutting it up. Also, a lot of merde relationships that have been holding it together just fine (in a whacko dictatorship sort of a style) will disintegrate in Oct.
Share where YOU are at re all this right here…
Well…. Just had a nap about 3 hrs after getting out of bed.. So yes exhausted and just quietly taking a moment to asses the scene!
Very happy that Saturn is fuqing off the last 3 yrs have been hell. Now just to enjoy my new neo chaste state and my north node in scorpe in the 9th doing its thing …… Whatever that looks like its impossible for it not to be an improvement! Hope everyone else is enjoying a sigh of relief and a nap or too as well x
Also exhausted but my Libra bloke is suggesting a run will fix that. Hmm.
Same here, have been utterly exhausted these last 10 days or so – it seems the Zap Zone has manifested itself as an actual physical problem so off to the Osteopath tomorrow. Full Moon felt powerful, encouraged me to make some inner resolutions to improve mental, emotional and spiritual daily practices.
Am I allowed to say that I was expecting something horrific as my Sun in Cancer is 6.34 degrees – I was (in typical Cancer fashion) worrying it would be catastrophic. Also have moon in Libra and asc in Capricorn – but I feel rather calm, motivated and… purposeful.
Just commented on the last post and saw this one come in. I hope I can join the sane camp for the ZZ. I don’t think I did too much outer damage, but that moon was a rough one.
Was up all night listening to the moon , tarot , incense , intuition .The shadow was up . Love and Beauty won !! Press on!!!
My time is now ! !!! Do not take less . Ask and it shall be given ! Feeling the Love!
Create or Die! I am sure that all will be amazing and very very Good! !!! Feeling it !! Mmmmm!
I will be so glad to have Saturn off my sun and Saturn. Perhaps I can return to the world. Saturn in Scorpio however will be on my mars, so we shall see what it brings.
Saturn Mars is FANTASTIC – especially in Scorpio – it is like champion athlete type energy, relentless self improvement, great capacity for discipline, totes grounded
Good to know as Saturn will be on my Mars in Scorpio soon, also!
Me too!! Saturn on Mars in Scorpio!! Yahoo!!
looking forward to it for myself as well
Yay! I’m so excited
)
Saturn in libra was on my 10th and now coming saturn in scorpio will be on my tenth too because i have mars in scorp… Im hoping it would really be good for me this time. The past 2 years have been 1 hell of a ride… Jilted by bf, office politics non-stop, closed-off relationship with my dad and brother… Plis be good to me saturn in scorpio
Good to know! I feel very encouraged especially since I was dreading it a bit. Thank you!
Saturn in Scorpio.
Please Sir, may I have another?
I will have Nun of it.
i gave qi draining crab frenemy the boot last night. of course he was in denial. bring on the new era! who wants to keep reliving this mess? at least give me a new disaster.
dont forget libran beauties: brigette bardot, dita von teese, and catherine deneuve.
ive been neo chaste for 2 damn yrs. i would like to try the slut option at s ome point…
“At least give me a new disaster.” I LOVE THAT!! And that is pretty much where I am in my quest to de-love zombie myself…
at least no one can say it is boring!
i was up all night too unable to switch off. the day had been fuelled with some anger, revenge fantasies and tears at feeling betrayed by some peeps who recently interfered in my life. in that cusp between wake and sleep i though i saw a person of light coming through my bedroom door. i had this understanding that the person was there to soothe and care for me, i also understood that the light people would also be with the peeps in my thoughts as they were also suffering. the light people’s job was to be with humans without judgement. i accepted that thought, slept and have woken up without those feelings. what a relief – i hope it lasts..
That’s really beautiful jicky. Peace to you. X
thank you pi, i feel so much calmer today and when my mind drifts to the drama i remember the glowing head and let it go.
I psyched myself out for the full moon this weekend, but didn’t actually notice too much weirding. At all. I dealt with some other people’s drama, and helped them through it, but nothing really came up myself. I do hope this means I’ll be one of these “Diva Genius of Awesome” people. That’d be pretty cool, I have some serious transits coming up.
Me too Kat! I actually had a great w/e up until yesterday. Was not feeling good and ended up sleeping on the couch. I might be a little down about the anticipation of this coming Friday when a decision will be made about a job I want. I honestly feel it is a good position for both and would get me out of my current h*ll-hole… Something has to happen.
Best wishes for you with Saturn in Scorpio!! xo!!
Oh finally! Action in the love realms for Virgos! Can’t come quick enough (pun intentional).
I echo this sentiment :p
Hooooraaay!!! Been very tough few years and would love to see some lovin round the corner…was strange to have random txt from ex over the w/end but was spot on re forecast astro weirding
Aye say I.
Totally seeing the imminent change in my life RE: sex and relationships. Don’t think I’ll be “slutting it up, per se” (although no shaming anyone who might be!) but definitely moving away from the “vanilla” side of things.
[For reference, I'm Saggo w/ Scorpio rising. I have been "into" kinky sex, vampires, role-playing and what could be considered "occult" spirituality since before I understood what any of those labels meant.]
Still, I’ve pushed it to the side, especially when it comes to sex and relationships But I have just reacquainted myself with the fact that exploring polyamory, “open” marriages and the finer arts of BDSM are not just “things I want” … but things I need to integrate into my life (to be happier / wholer within myself) … and also finding the partner to match.
Have thus realized that eHarmony may not be the best place for me to look for a match.
Have found a social network/online community that focuses on … alternative(?) lifestyles, and it’s so great to be able to chat and share and just start to “talk the talk” wholeheartedly. I know that this is a life-changing shift. Easing into it, gladly … and ready to see how it unfolds.
Bravo you!! For your candour, personal integrity and willingness to share your evolving awesome. It would appear you are all over this ZZ journey
Enjoy.
LOL. Thankfully, we’ve had Mystic’s gentle nudges (and her sharing of lots of information) otherwise, I would think that I’m going psycho-bats!
Thanks for posting this, Astro Geek. I have been wrestling with a similar kind of evolution re sex and relationships myself although not in the realms you mention. I was with someone for a while who really ‘got’ me, and the deep satisfaction that came with being able to be really authentic in bed was quite profound. Almost spiritual, in fact. At times like this ie middle of the night/ can’t sleep/ruminating I tend to ask myself if I am being selfish by ‘just wanting more’ than my current situation provides. IE is it just something I want, or is it who I am? Is it “important” enough to justify what has to be done? The answer presents a course of action which will bring great pain, and there are people I am afraid of losing, and whose judgements of me I will not like, when I end my marriage.
Neptune’s back within 4deg of my Venus, plus Saturn just been through my solar 8th has been huge in this regard. I am finding it a struggle to accept what needs to be done and the judgements of some others that will likely come.
Good luck with your brave new evolution x
Your post struck a nerve, Chrysalis, as I am dealing with a similar situation. It’s a heavy question. Will the freedom be worth the loss? I’m struggling to find that answer. I hope you find the courage to do what is right for you.
Good morning ladies. Noone else can BE you in this universe. Noone else can achieve the happiness that is yours to attain, and noone else will suffer the exact misery you suffer privately in chains.
It always hurts to cut your losses. Always. The judgments cut deep and they’re intended to by the judges, as they know you’re at your thinnest, most vulnerable. Often it’s because the judges hurt too but their reasons are not yours to ponder yet.
But you might be surprised at who is on your side. At times it feels like noone and you will see how good a partner you are to yourself, even, and know you can’t waste that on the wrong kind of partnership.
It took you a long time to reach your decisions. The taste of fear sharpens the need for liberation, which is not all roses. Lots of love and Lady Luck to you both xx
Ah Mille – you speak so much sense as always. Funny you should say about being a partner to yourself. I’ve got some ‘home alone’ time for a couple of weeks and that’s exactly what I’ve been doing. xx
“The judgments cut deep and they’re intended to by the judges, as they know you’re at your thinnest, most vulnerable. Often it’s because the judges hurt too but their reasons are not yours to ponder yet.” That gave me goosebumps.
I am less afraid of the judgement (and the pain that stems from it) than from the pain that comes from not living authentically.
I know my way won’t be “perfect” and I will stumble and struggle and grow … but it will be my way. My genuine way. That’s the one thing I’m sure of.
Well, I know where you’re at O/WV and it’s hard, yes?
There are no children in my mix which is supposed to make it easier, but doesn’t.
I’m being helped by amazing friends, and the wisdom of Mystic and tarot, and by taking care of my health and work. The three Fs I think someone called it once: fitness, friends, finances. It’s helping with clarity.
I know that every time I am awake in the middle of the night it’s because the truth wants attention.
Wishing you courage and clarity, OWV xx
it will be on my natal scorpio ascendant and natal pluto.
I think it just means a lot of detoxing and physical, emotional, and spiritual shredding. Neptune is also on my sun.
is this true ?
Well, everyone is still alive. I never knew how many different degrees of ‘alive’ there were until the past few days.
And mystic, the site is indeed much more user-friendly via mobile ph. Thanks. X
Meh, I would rather have the “recent comments” at the top of the page, so I don’t have to scroll ALL the way down.
And would REALLY love the Login issue fixed. Can’t we have it that we’re logged in for a day at least? If I get distracted while I’m reading the scopes and walk away for half an hour I come back & have to login again. It’s just annoying!!
I don’t actually have to log in again – it stays logged in unless i shut the computer down – am on Firefox.
But cart66 – the software does not currently have a stay logged in feature – have suggested it to them for future versions and as soon as they do one, i’ll implement. It’s not a thing i can “Fix” as such.
But having said that, it seems to be different with various browsers x
Um, I’m kind of about here…
sitting here wondering why I was simultaneously turned on and repulsed by this. I do love Joseph Gordon-Levitt!
i think hes an aquarius.
ha. oh barista gem. distracted?
I’m happy to have witnessed these past several weeks. Unbelievable events have occurred in my world. It’s as if the cards are being shuffled and some of us get to stay, while some of us are indeed moving on. I’m humbled by the power of the ZZ and it’s decisiveness, as well as the attention to detail. Although I myself am still alive, some I know are not. When the ZZ intensifies, I see people die sudden shocking deaths and each time I feel humbled and blessed to be here experiencing this deep change the world is apparently going through. (Still searching for the words.) On a lighter note… I’m SO looking forward to Saturn in Scorpio!
I guess I’ll be sitting in the neo-chaste category. Might be safer at this rate. Yay for Saturn in Scorpio. I am asking for my hopes and prayers to be answered.
Completely random side note: I can’t wait for the 2013 consults to come out! I just want to knooooooooooow things about next yeeeeeaaar already!!!!!
Yep, all of this comment is totally me right now.
I may have spoken too soon…. just read my Tuesday horoscope. I don’t want any of the events and emotions that flared up last fortnight carrying on for the next several years. I am freaking! My last MONTH has been a shitfest of processing a lie of a relationship. My only plan is to NOT have another shitfest relationship! (I have more strategy to it than that of course)
Please Saturn in Scorpio – Saturn in Libra beat me about the heart big time – give me a break!
Damn hope that two-timing loser has been feeling guilty these last two weeks (he’s a Crab too). It would improve my spirits to have him feel shitty for the next several years. He knows he’s a shit human being.
I can’t shift category unless it’s into the slut category. Bring on the change!
I am loving the zap zone. saturn fuqing off out of libra is the end of my Sat return. remember the retrograde at 4 degrees libra. yep natal saturn 4 degrees. oww x_x and my highly merde relationship that was holding it together just fine (in a whacko dictatorship sort of a style) ended during July’s merc retro, which backed up neatly over my north node. escalating abusive situation escalated 7/18 restraining order on 7/20. daughter’s first visit with dad was yesterday , saturday , feral full moon day. Relationship grudge flashpoint anyone? lol. now I have a whole new life to build… lots of pentacles in the tarot lately…. <3
Where do I sign up for a healthy and safe slut-up session?
Second that
Hee hee. If it was healthy and safe, then that would rather defeat the purpose and fun of a slut-up session . . .though I suppose that’s your point! In my book, it’s a slut-up session if you totally can’t tell your friends about it.
Oh I’d need to get new friends
I am Gem NN, Merc conj sun in 7th and trine Neptune – the slutting-up is one thing but after we’ve all packed up and gone home, it’s all about the story for me, lol 
This piscean has been working HARD since 2007 a change has gotta come. October scopes mmmmmmm.
Jeez feels like several lifetimes I bet… Only thing I can say with any kind of certainty is nothing stays the same forever
Saturn in Scorp, neo-chaste or slutting it up….. well, I’ve been neo-chaste for over 2 years now, so if it goes that way, nothing new. Saturn will be transiting my 5th house, too, so I guess it might go even more in the neo-chaste direction..? *sigh* Oh well, more of the same, then, I’m used to it now….
Been really attracted to completely inappropriate people lately, though. First it was a patient of mine who looks like Johnny Depp, but cracked-out, alcoholic train-wreck version….I mean, for real, he’s in treatment for all sorts of addictions… Then last night overwhelmingly attracted to a married guy at this party I went to. I felt like he was flirting very subtly with me, too. I didn’t encourage anything as his wife was there as well as I don’t ever follow through with anything like that with married guys……or my patients for that matter, either!
I think it’s all indicative that I haven’t been with someone in a long while, so I need to find someone who is actually available!! ….imagine that!
Who knows, though, with Saturn about to transit my 5th……won’t hold my breath! …..wasn’t interested in a relationship for a long time, but somehow lately getting interested again…..ready to ‘slut it up”..? Part of me feels like, though, “oh who needs that old monkey on your back?!”……relationships and sex are tricky, so generally I avoid these days…….ugh….
I’m Aqua sun, Pisces moon, Kataka rising…..
Wow, my life has been made over by the Zap zone and am far stronger and happier for it…..been in a strong healing space since leaving dictator/husband and high pressure/low wage job in 1st third of the year. Every single thing forecast re zz/feral moon happened even down to ex contact on Saturday (ignored) now giving peach blossom a red hot go and keeping fingers crossed for relationship with someone who has my back…. Last third spose to be best stars in years!
wow, its bizarre how accurate mystic is re: “resurfacing ex-lover alerts”, I swear mine only ever gets in touch when when she has put out a warning…such as last saturday morning at 5.50 am…weird!
I am MUCH more clued up thanks to Mystic and all the generous people on this site! Has really shown me how my spot on my intuition is and to trust myself and grow through these times with all the grace I can rustle up. Should check and see what time txt came through…..ahh bugger it, already in the past!
Mystic has given me a completely different perspective on Saturn than I ever had. I’ve come to see Saturn as a secret ally if you do the hard work (although check back with me in two years after it’s opposed my Moon and conjoined my Sun).
And the housewitch cures in the Oracle are fantastic.
Past couple of weeks have been OK – I have been inexplicably serene as people wigged out before my eyes. I am helping someone fight an unwinnable battle and under normal circumstances, it (or at least the people) would be driving me round the bend. Go figure. If this is how things will continue, I should survive just fine and maybe even prevail every now and then! On the love front, I would like to know how something will transpire with someone in particular, but perhaps I should be more patient or at least chilled than it is my inclination to be.
Of course my question relates to the statement about relationships disintegrating in October. For me it could be work and love. Looking at them both they are indirectly are a dictatorship. For the work one, yes, please disintegrate because a new job takes over.. for the love, it will be painful to see him go. But maybe it is the best for both of us. Time will tell.
xo!!
Well, let me be totally honest.. I have been crying since last night about my love relationship. Watched the movie “The Lake House”… and I lost it crying hysterically. The movie has a good ending but he supposedly died in her arms but then it turns out they meet at the end.
So, here I am trying to ger ready for work, that I am not looking forward to because it is such a downer and I am crying. I just hope it’s because I am grieving the loss of something with the hopes of new and better things coming my way. [sigh]!! xo!!
Romantically I’ve been alone for the last three years, and also ditched alot of bullshit “friendships” too during that time; saturn transitting my 7th house/Libra, where I have natal moon conjunct Pluto, and Uranus conjunct Mercury. I suppose Saturn is wrapping his arms around my Uranus-Merc conjunct now, as it’s at 29d Libra/8th house…
Yes, Saturn’s coming into my Command Central/8th house, where I also have Sun, Venus, Mars… I was physically hobbled on the first day of September, and that situation persists– and I persist, too. But, I wonder how much progress I might have made/could make if so much of my energy and transformative efforts weren’t tied up in banal endeavors like figuring out how to get in and out of my shower, and how to fanagle grocery shopping. I mean, conquering the shower– really?? Don’t I have bigger fish to fry? I think so.
Independence is everything in my book, so I’m not complaining. But, I am concerned that I’m required to spend phoenix powers on daily activities of living, rather than on bigger improving-my-life-for-the-long-haul kinds of stuff, you know?
The Scorping will take a few years, though, so maybe I’m trying to rush something that cannot be rushed… ? Well, I’m off to climb the mountain that is making a pot of coffee and letting the dogs out. :/
And I’m back already, that’s right!
For perspective: after 3 years of Saturn in Libra, I’m only a third of the way through this thing. 95% of my chart is contained in Libra, Scorpio, and Sagg; my 7th, 8th, and 9th houses, respectively. So Saturn will transit Scorp for next 2-3 years, and then it’ll go into my 9th, where my True Node is conjunct Neptune. Woopee! (Of course I’m Pisces rising, silly!)
So, I’m on the 9 year Saturn transit plan, cosmic friends. 3 years down, 6 years to go…
OMG, I… still have a pulse! I’m still breathing! Nothing awful happened at all and I was expecting some ghosts of recently buried relationships to come back. Maybe they’re really gone?…
I then decided I can’t keep an invisible war going with a very disturbed co-worker. I then saw the truth and realities of my workplace and told myself I can grok it as long as I am able to keep balance and maintenance in other areas in my life (and to keep a personal life going no matter what stresses me out at work). Getting to these conclusions weren’t like a slap in the face or getting my head dunked in a pail of cold water. It was more like listening to a stern school dean and taking their word or else.
Gem Sun, Pisces rising:
I have been on my own for a while. Cynicism does not suit me, but I have a hard time in relating to the news about love in dailies, thanks to Saturn in my 7th house since 2008. I diligently note the remarks about business and enemies however.
I am anxious in thinking whether I am falling behind in evolving, but considering the ditched Qi vamps and learning about self-control and self-respect in the last three years, I consider myself lucky to have grokked the 7th house (other) and 1st house (self) lessons.
Saturn in Scorp will transit my solar 6th house (re-igniting Pilates workouts, getting obsessive about my cat’s health and time management and dream journaling to counter solar 12th house) and my natal 8th house (daily meditation sessions, keeping track of finances to counter natal 2nd house). I will see how life will treat my plans.
Yes, because your plans are one thing, and Life is another. I learned 20 years ago to not get too attached to my plans, and that’s a lesson that has rung true repeatedly. Best to emulate a tree rather than a building. That’s not cynical. That’s practical.
yesh! plans should be considered disposable life suggestions.
Disposable: yes! (Lyle) Love it.
Or, recyclable;)
Yes, the last time I made a point-by-point plan, it blew in such a spectacular way, I’ve been afraid to use the word “plan” – not to anger heavens.
Thinking about your comments made me realize, I better use the word “emphasis”. Saturn in 8th will show me what needs to be fixed in any case.
you would have loved my grandmother. She laughed when my parents had me and said to me years later, the people that planned everything had you.
Honey, there is no “falling behind” in evolving. there’s no deadline, no bell curve, no nothing. There’s just you and your world. In spite of the urgency that you might perceive in all the writing that’s going on in these posts, we do the best we can with what we have at our disposal. The fact that you’re reading this means you’re already aware of the contours of your life and how they may or may not be working for you.
Thanks Pi for your gentle nudge. You are right, I have been digging my notes since 2009, and yes, there is no falling behind, only coasting from one shore to another.
It’s high time to light a candle and say thanks.
Hells yes I’m *still* sane AND functional. But, “up”? I feel like I’m chained too tightly to a desk in Saturn’s classroom to be light or overcome with fresh optimism today. Maybe it has something to do with the blisters on my palms from my hands substituting for my legs, I don’t know. Definitely I have no room for anything trivial, which includes talk of romance: like a moonroof or heated seats, that shit is optional. Not standard.
Love the “Optional- Not Standard”!!
went to pick up the last of my stuff from the aqua’s. He opened the door and walked off after texting me drunk last night telling me he needed to fuck the pain away and other various insults, demands and insinuation about having sex with people all evening. I said goodbye to the room and cranked my ipod to slum against a bus window pondering broken hearts and broken dreams. I wore my best shade of red (warpaint) and tottered home with half a spice rack, a few toys and a kimono.
Half a spice rack, some toys and a kimono.
Oh, Ms, i can so see that bus ride. I can’t help but think that it takes a very very unusual man to hold deep and dark passions with dignity. There are so many that do it beautifully for a time, like really shine. But when it cracks … *sigh*
It’s as if one wants Lucifer himself – he was an angel. And all you’re left with in the end is painted devils.
His behaviour sounds like the Scorp who left me. Why do they have to so viciously shred the intimacy that was shared.
Look after your health and body. You know it will take a hit easily from the stress. Hoping you find some peace xx
it was a little more than that but the items of note were those. cuddling my jute ropes on the bus sniffing to etta james. I’m actually ok now I am in my nest. I am finishing off designs for a headpiece and making myself work through it. I am on super amazing kick re body and health so I have no fear about diving. He is actually the least supportive lover I have ever had so there will be no missing the added help there. Despite super unhaute behaviour I am going to do some work this eve on spirit to make it less shit for both of us. I really don’t need the drunken manipulation or the going to hook up with other people run down. I couldn’t even think about having sex with anyone right now. Between fierce territory markings and free time absorbed into my own work I feel a bit more like young and nurture than revenge sex. We all roll differently I spose
A Cancer treated me like that re: announcements of revenge sex. It’s a good sign because it means you’ve already walked away
In a nebulous (but fun) “relationship”
Gettin gover the ex, plus other flakes/bolters.
Jamming with weird people off the internet in order to phoenix as supertalented front woman of band. Also need to learn to sing. First jam was during psycho bats moon, where Japanese/Hawaiian drummer shouted at me repeatedly to sing ON/OFF the beat.
I am a Scorp with Mercury, Jupiter Venus & Uranus in Libra.
I have had a difficult few years and have had to look deep and change much. I have done the strengthening of self and the shedding of self-sabotage (including those unsafe or unsupportive friendships). I feel centred and calm. I am doing creativity and evolution and clarity. It’s been a tough ride but it has brought me back to myself. I am ready for the maturity that may come with Saturn in Scorp.
I got myself into a situation over the Feral Full Moon but stayed true to myself, walked away from it into a better one. I’m already slutting it up and it’s awesome
Thanks Mystic for the helpful signposts xxx
