Asteroid Bingle For February

February 26, 2010 in Asteroids by Mystic Medusa | 35 comments

Vermin Star

Well I wanted to do an Asteroid Bingle to vary it up a bit from being all about the major planets in Capricorn-Aqua-Pisces…Especially the latter two.

But guess what? All the asteroids I fancy to follow are there too…So it really is an intense Piscean moment.  Get this: Circe is between Pluto and the North Node. And then Ishtar is conjunct the North Node. We have to do spells and being cunning to help manifest our destiny? Why not. So long as it doesn’t degenerate.

Mercury, Neptune and Chiron are all in Aquarius, as you know. So is asteroid Persephone and the Dark Moon Lilith.  More witchery concentrated in the same area. Magic is brewing, i swear it.

And then, this is what’s in Pisces for the weekend and beyond: Asteroid Lust, the Sun, asteroid Pan, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus and Asteroid Psyche. Yes, that’s quite a lot.

If you look at the chart, with or without the fun extra bits, nearly all the houses are empty barring Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces. Aim for an enchanted & fast tracked evolution where-ever you’ve got Pisces going on. Don’t repress the Lilith-Circe style energy or it will bank up and turn to bitcherel.

Mrs Pluto – The Asteroid Persephone

Persephone – Krista Huot

You know, I am sure, the Persephone myth? Persephone a.k.a. Proserpina (the Roman – think Aphrodite v.s. Venus for the difference) is innocently picking flowers one Spring day. Tempted by a narcissus, she also encounters the Hades a.k.a. Pluto and is then (depending on which version of the story you are reading) is either abducted or lured into the underworld where she winds up Queen of the Underworld.

It’s a totally complex tale with multiple themes & richness. If it resonates, you can actually fling two asteroids into your chart – Persephone (asteroid 399) and Prosperina (asteroid 26) What does their sign/house placement and any aspects mean? I don’t know!!!  I haven’t looked into them…This is going to be it.

I did found one description that had Persephone as signifying a sort of stupidity, naivety and sort of bumbling into the underworld style urges. Great. Because I have her conjunct Neptune in my tenth so it’s amazing i can even sober up long enough from my underworld bumblings to write scopes etc. Okay, lol.

Apart from being a folk tale to explain the seasons, Persephone’s story is so clearly also like that of Eve – the loss of innocence…and what’s more the desired loss of it. Eve eats the apple. Persephone eats the pomegranate. It’s also a tale of rebirth – Persephone goes into the underworld and learns all sorts of things so it’s like the story of Inanna/Ishtar’s trip into the underworld and subsequent triumphant rebirth.

Right now Persephone is at 10 Pisces & Proserpina at 28 Capricorn. Hmm. So this New Moon Eclipse on Friday will be conjunct Venus AND Prosperina…a rebirth indeed.  I am going to take a punt and say that either of these asteroids have to do with where you may seem serene & untroubled but where you have in fact faced trials…you’ve swum in underground streams…Where you’ve munched on some forbidden fruit and liked it, maybe.

In the story of Psyche (asteroid 16) -  considered an essential metaphor for women’s psych development by Carl Jung – one of Psyche’s tasks is to pop down into the underworld and collect a sample of Persephone’s fabulous beauty cream.  My god, is there a Jungian in the house??

Another thing to think about: Could/would either of these asteroids operate like a sort of Lady Pluto by transit???  Does seeing this New Moon Eclipse as being tied in with Venus AND Proserpina make you feel about it any differently?

Lilith, Circe, Venus & Mars

How fun!

You know the Mars-Venus trine building now and referred to below?

Well, I just realised that it is a bit more complicated & enchanted than even that.  I mean, Mars-Venus magic is quite intense as it is.

But asteroid Circe is conjunct Venus and so the Enchantress-Witch will be trining Mars too. Womanly wiles, anybody?

And Dark Moon Lilith is in Aquarius, moving into an opposition with Mars. So Venus has some powerful backing.

Ladies, you can have a good time (okay, if you are an Astro-Fiend) by comparing your Moon with your Dark Moon a.k.a. Lilith. Is there any significant link between the two? Could they each be said to reflect different facets of your femininity? Do you have your own little Madonna-Whore complex going on? Two distinct different types of female friendships? Repressed/shadow sides of your womanhood? Perfectly integrated “good” and “bad” you?

Weekend Asteroid Mash-Up

Here is a batty asteroid mash-up for your weekend;  NOT that the Full Moon-Uranus Stationing Direct etc situation needs enhancement. I mean, what’s an even shorter way of saying “lol”. As always, i just sort of say what i feel in the moment re the asteroids. I don’t spend nearly enough time studying their effect, though i love throwing them occasionally.

“Ha!” sounds too sardonic. Or religious.

Okay there is a MASS of stuff in Aquarius – not just the official Auspicious Aqua-Weirding that will climax in Feb: I am talking Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune -yes – AND asteroids Psyche and Pandora…Psyche is the Soul.  Pandora…well, you know she’s curious and all. Mars in Leo is opposing all this stuff in Aquarius. Ego and force of will won’t cut it alone sans intuition and insider knowledge.

Isis, Uranus and Juno are all conjunct in Pisces – super hi-qi other worldly channeling of Dark Matter or whatever if you’re in the mood. Creative. Love triangles? Heightened cynicism re marriage et al but quite pleasurable. Isis is the High Priestess. Uranus is Fast Knowledge, Higher Hermes – this is a magical alignment. I mean that literally, as in good to do magick under such stars.

Dionysus nearing Saturn. We may totally feel like a dipsomaniacal bender with the Full Moon looming et al but this puts the brakes on a bit.

Pan-Sappho in Scorpio. Then again – pandemonium is fantastic for creativity is it not? Not being out and in crowds, but a quiet Pan-Sappho style weekend at home creating and invoking the Muses via whatever means it takes. So, as long as Dionysus/Pan harnessed in some way to the steadier urges of Saturn and Sappho – all will be well.

Circe and the Sun conjunct in Sagittarius. Circe is the Enchantress. Sun in Saggo gives her strength to totally follow her primal instincts, cut peeps off when she wants, seduce in someone else…More magick to go with the above.

Finally – Empress Hatshepsut is conjunct PLUTO in Capricorn. There are corporate player instincts and work ethics operating along with all the magick.
