Until Saturn In Libra…

July 20, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 32 comments

Well until Saturn is in Libra, there is naturally quite a lot to do.

Especially if one gives up sleep in order to be more productive.

Venus and Mars in Virgo as well as Saturn certainly hone ones analytical skills.

Saturn in Virgo is so relentless. I was snacking on almonds before and thinking how great it was to be enjoying such a healthy mini-meal instead of, well, the shit i actually felt like it being the time-of-month and all.  Then suddenly i had a Saturn-Virgo thought: Almonds contain cyanide. Maybe it wasn’t even a healthy impulse at ALL but something rather more deviant and revolting.

Saturn is SO exalted in Libra. But until it is in Libra in just a few days, what to do?

Sleep?  Just bung a do-not-disturb until Saturn-is-in-Libra sign on one’s door and retire to a clean bed alone with enough h20 and spirulina for the duration + self-hypno for excellence/meditation for serenity stuff on an endless loop?

Fat chance. I feel guilty even sitting on the couch for 20 mins with Saturn aggravating my Mars in Virgo. Better to relax by sandblasting the fridge.

Channelling aliens? Tres trendy again at the mo and you can pick any galaxy. You see if you can out-weird Saturn and then provide a plausible explanation to  your bank manager/boss/accountant/lover/teacher/trainer/client from whatever you managed to glean from the Pleidian Emperor dudes after the activation session.

Hitting le turps?  And then you can just give up again when Saturn is in Libra. In fact, do the whole of Saturn in Libra dry. Because then you will just be elegantly drawn toward food and beverages that enhance your health, beauty and inner focus. But now, well, you are not. The problem with being drunk until Saturn gets the fuq out of Virgo – apart from any addiction issues or poor lifestyle choice consequences – is that you will want to look pretty for Saturn into Libra. Tempting though.

We may as well work our way through it. Seriously, it’s the only thing that feels right.

The Left Hand Of Saturn

With just a couple more days of Saturn in Virgo to go – until it returns in 2030-something-whatevs – there is a a spike in details/admin for sure.

I’m barely blogging because i am meandering around a maze of password and electronic on-hold cul de sacs in call centres.

But there should also be a ‘well, i’ll be fuqed’ style realization dawning re just how much has actually been accomplished in the last three years.

If you’re tweaking with the end-of-era anxiety, admin-hell or self-guilting, hang in there for the next few days. Any admin-reconfig is well starred.

Schedule in some time for a quick assessment of what you and Saturn in Virgo did together – gloat later. Grudging acknowledgement is maybe all you can maybe manage in the way of self-congrats right now.

And by the way, fuq guilt.

Jupiter and Uranus are still in Aries; i think we can tell guilt to go and fuq itself, even if Saturn hasn’t quite left the building yet.

Solar Heat, Light and Self-Belief: Don’t Forget…

July 17, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 38 comments

Saturn is opposing Uranus and nearly squaring Pluto, Jupiter is squaring Pluto and soon to oppose Saturn…Mars and Venus get in on the act and many a peep is coming to crunch-crisis flashpoint…Especially the cardinal signs: Cancerians, Caps, Libra and Aries.

But Mercury in Leo is a reliable source of heat, light and fabulous living resolutions. Every moment of the day and night, you get to choose your attitude and Mercury in Leo likes to keep it glam, chutzpah infused and fixated on big thoughts, hot scenes.

Just so as you know.

The Saturn Shites

July 16, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 37 comments

Dazed & Confused

This pic is how i feel with the Saturn shites, waiting for Saturn to clear the dreg-end degrees of Virgo.

Maybe you could see it as one sitting there with Saturn-ashed hair and sensible (?) boots on, assessing the “fruit” or the “tree” that has sprouted from one’s actions. Saturn does favour woods and gardening metaphors.

Note that the so-called Karmic Taskmaster is also basically opposing Uranus again already.

So whatever decisions you’ve made, your forced growth, maturity when you’d rather be young & free, grace under pressure, difficult choices, evolutionary cool and having to carve out your own destiny blessed detail by blasted blessed detail over & over are ALL on your mind now.

Saturn got into Virgo in  late 2007 but the Saturn-Uranus opposition got cracking in late 2008.

We’ve gone and gone about this but in short: the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. As old paradigms, guidelines, rocks of security and sources of support crumbled, the pressure was on to create fresh, new and innovative paradigms.

You can apply this to work, business, relationships, sanity, addictions, sex, money and the general world that you see around you – how well you dealt with the pragmatic demands of Saturn so that you could innovate your way into a new realm is the current ‘it’ issue. You reckon you did all right? Rewards for all that tough work are so totally on the way.

Just hang tight till late August because Saturn opposes Uranus for the 5th of five times and then gets on to square Pluto.  So July 22 to August 22 is the Zap Zone central. Yes, Saturn gets outta Virgo and Mutables will be celebrating all over the shop but the Zap Zone is officially terse and cathartic for many a peep.

The Daily Mystic and all the Scopes + the Monthly Scheduler point out the most merde-like bits of it so that you can elegantly skirt around them – otherwise, July 22 to Aug 22 is the hottest the Zap Zone gets this year.

I still think we’re going to feel SO much better times a million when Saturn gets the fuq out of Virgo – no offence to either Saturn or Virgos.

Brad Pitt Clean-Shaven: Proof That Saturn Is On The Move

July 14, 2010 in Astro-Celebrities, Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 49 comments

Yes!

It’s all over the news. Brad Pitt has shaved off that billy-goat beard he took up a few years (?) ago.

Angelina-phobes can cite this as proof of a looming divorce if they like but i think it’s absolutely linked to Saturn.

This beard has been there for as long as Saturn has been torturing aspecting Brad Pitt’s Sagittarius Ascendent, Sagittarius Sun and Virgo Midheaven.

You’d grow a long gray beard too if Saturn was all over your chart like that and there you are trying to be an ebullient Sagg for fuq’s sake.

But isn’t nice to see his jawline again?!  Happy Saturn out of Virgo in just under a week!

Leonic & Mercurial

July 14, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 7 comments

With Mercury in Leo, we all talk more beautifully.

Three planets in Virgo – Venus, Mars & Saturn – can do with a bit of balancing out.

Mercury is in Leo until July 28 and that inspires enunciation, major motherhood statements of intent, brilliant manners, a grandiose style of thinking, the desire to read books about Greatness, venomous tedium from any subject deemed not fabulous enough (eg; being carped at by the media or politicians kind of forgetting that peeps are way too busy to read about the Byzantine machinations of their latest rort).

No, Mercury in Leo just wants to Talk Big and Be Inspired.  No grizzling unless it can become an anecdote. A slight hint of the theatre in ones exits and entrances.

Oh and think also this: Mercury is tracing over the recent path of Mars from October until early June so rad insights into that phase and what it meant for you, particularly in terms of Martian endeavours such as fighting, lust, competition, ambition and libido. What new “battle” did you decide to wage last October? Now is the analysis period.

Venus In Scorp Will Bewitch Us All

July 13, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 39 comments

Yes, Venus in Scorpio is technically in her detriment or whatever but well I think Venus in Scorpio for months on end is going to be FUN.

Venus in Virgo for the rest of July is already making me a tad more observant re dress, details of grooming, hygiene and such issues as underwear that has lost the tautness of its fabric, miniscule stains on the skirting board, fingernails, split ends…Really, when Venus is in Virgo, you get Virgo Vision re all things Venusian. Hot or not? And it’s contagious. So you and your friend are out on the street, noticing everything.

Whereas when Venus is in Libra, you eyes light upon the beauty around you and you can always snort your scent soaked hankerchief if the street vibe is too overwhelming.

Venus in Scorpio? Well, it’s more like the above. Natural, um, urges take over.

Do check out Venusian Luxe: Sex-Magic-Karma on the Astro-Confidential Page if you have not got it already.

Old Whore Oil & Uranus In Aries: The Soap

July 13, 2010 in Astro-Beauty, Astro-Passages, Perfume by Mystic Medusa | 26 comments

So there is this Libran witch named Eleneetha from Livonia, Missouri and she makes the most amazing soaps, oils and magical bindis.

As a Moon in Libra, i am insanely fanatical about soap but this stuff is sensational.  She does things such as  Jupiter Good Vibe Oil,  Sea Goat Bindis to empower Capricorns for Pluto  and Old Whore Soap.

The latter is not  intended as an insult. As Eleneetha says of her fave product:

“…I have said it before and I will say it again, patchouli and vetiver just go together like the best of friends.
This soap is deep and rich. It is like a dungeon with moss everywhere. Like dirt and rain and rotting leaves beneath your feet.
Are you offended by the name? Please do not be. Love it, embrace it. You haven’t come this far for nothing. You know what you want and how it is babe!
Think of her as so smart and funny and comfortable and wise and beautiful to the core and filthy rich…”

Above is the Ode Uranus in Aries Soap – it’s got chilli pepper in it to help zing you awake in the morning sans caffeine and it smells, well, it smells NEW. Just like Uranus in Aries. And she gets all  her planetary and herbal references pretty much right as well. So the magic is intact.

Sexy, Wholesome, Shiny & New But Just A Teensy Bit Anal

July 12, 2010 in Astro-Passages, Sex And Astrology, Virgo by Mystic Medusa | 12 comments

Venus is in Virgo!

Venus joins Mars & Saturn in Virgo…This is like a Virgoan Flashpoint building.  Certainly relationship real-politik to the max.  Clarity too.

But for now Venus is just trining Pluto.  This is v.sexy, shiny and new. No chance of anything skating by you in love or even lust. A stray hair where it should not be could derail many a promising flirtation in the next three weeks. Oh how they were your twin soul before they belched.

In seduction, the vibe to aim for is wholesome. If you’re so insanely discriminating that you can spot a slight sludge stain on a white shirt at 50 paces, it’s fine to show it now.

That delicate shudder when you see the fingernails of your barista and realize that you can no longer trust them to caffeinate you? Hot.

You can let your ‘purity’ guard down when Venus opposes Uranus in early August. For now, think ‘unassailable fortress’ as your look. Just as if you were a real Virgo,  nobody needs to know about the secret binges of chocolate and kinky merde. Because you’re also discreet. And clean.

Saturn Does It Better In Libra

Dear Mystic Medusa,

I gather that Saturn is soon to be away from Virgo and I appreciate this as it has been several months since i had had what i would consider to be “fun” or any “relaxation” apart from sleep. However why do you think Saturn will be any better in Libra, given that many people have planets in Libra also? Thank you and i have become addicted to the dailies!

Controlling Libra.

Dear Controlling Libra,

Saturn is “exalted” in Libra, which means it expresses itself way better in the sign of Libra than it did in Virgo. It has actually already gotten into Libra – from late October 2009 until early April 2010. And from July 22, it’s there again. Saturn in Virgo can be a bit wiggy with the details. Saturn in Libra challenges us all to have tres civilised relationships. Even though Saturn in Libra is still going to do such choice things as square Pluto (more on that next week) it is still a better place for Saturn than Virgo.  Aquarians, Aquarius Rising, Virgos and Pisceans  will especially relish the shift of Saturn into Libra on July 22.
