Vlad Worthington

January 29, 2010 in Astro-Fiends, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 55 comments

Sam Worthington has about a trillion planets in Leo, even though he LOOKS like an Earth Sign rising dude. Virgo?  That would put all his Leo stuff in the 12th House – i was talking someone the other day who’d just met him and she said when he sold everything and went to Hollywood, he took one bag of clothes, the Bible and The Alchemist. That’s 12th House. Or savvy media-skills.

And I love how he always sounds Leonic in interviews: a non-stop I-Am-The-Greatest rant-boast that’s actually really inspirational.

Anyway, he is apparently up to play DRACULA in Dracula Year Zero, a sort of bio-pic of Vlad The Impaler in which we get to see his more humane side. I guess if Sam is playing him, there will definitely be a hell of a lot more compassion for the gentleman. I just tried to post a pic of Vlad The I and the browser crashed. Unusual. Spooky. No Vlad pic. And I had a cold chill looking at it. Yick! Sam please don’t be the original Dracula. I don’t think it fits the Leo Qi.I think he should play a hunky ANGEL. See Angels Are The New Vampires.

Leo vampires should be camp and like George Hamilton.  Previously, it was established that Aquarius is the best sign for vampires. Like Count Duckula – still my fave.

Check out gorge new Astrodienst Widget on the bottom left guys!

Any time of the day or night & no matter where you are viewing this from (Mercury Retrograde is fuqing with my grammar bigtime, soz) you can see the current Sun, Moon, planets & node etc.

This New Moon Eclipse in Capricorn now forming is nothing if not practical…Remember, sense is not that common at ALL. Manifest some uncommon sense. That’s my resolution for the N.M.E and i am sticking to it, no matter what Sun-Venusian distractions loom….

Question: Going on where 26 Capricorn is in your chart, what is your New Moon Eclipse resolution?  Mine is in the 12th (Soul Sector) so i am going to become more inwardly resilient, clear in my philosophy and do some ghost-busting.

Which Sign Most Has The Shits With Mercury Retrograde?

Jean Luc Cornec – Telephone Sheep

I’m guessing that Arieans are having the MOST problems with this Mercury Retrograde – it’s in their solar 10th house (Daddy, Work, Public Image, Long-term career shite) and it’s occurring as their ruler Mars is also retro. Maddening.

For me, it’s in the 12th House so whilst undeniably weird, it has it’s uses. Are other Aquarius Risings or peeps who know Mercury is Retro in their 12th having: sudden interest in past lives, curiosity of how one’s spiritual beliefs have been shaped by various experiences & determination toward self-knowledge and mastery?

It’s not especially emotional, like that blasted Eclipse over the hols or a Mercury A.w.o.l in any of the Water signs. It’s more like being a sort of psychic detective. Similar for Geminis as Mercury goes bats in their 8th House & Cancerians/Kataka Rising really should not take a WORD some lover/Mr-Mrs Crab says seriously right now. He/she is bound to switch stance when Mercury goes Direct…

Astro-Polanski

Yick. I was so ignorant of the Roman Polanski thing that i always assumed he’d been tried and acquitted or something.  Anyway, his being bought to justice is interesting astrologically – it coincided with Saturn being exactly on his Venus-Jupiter in the 12th house. If you are looking at this sort of thing, Saturn in the 12th House IS the transit of ‘karma’ and potentially, incarceration. IF you’ve been bad – i am not saying Saturn thru the 12th or on Venus/Jupiter automatically means you get nabbed. But, interesting, no?  And it’s been about a Saturn cycle since the original incident.

The 12th House

I call the 12th House (the one right before the Ascendent) the Soul Sector but it has many names. Fatalistic old style astrologers called it the House of Self-Undoing.  The sign on the Cusp of the 12th is often one that you are not comfortable with although it would actually be brill for you to incorporate the higher aspects of that sign. Sometimes the 12th House operates almost like a relative you are embarassed about. Something fun to think about…yes?

The Sun, Moon and planets there can be like hidden talents, people whose Sun-Moon etc fall into your 12th House stir your Soul as do planets gliding through there. It’s potent for dreams, divination and secrets. There can be a withdrawal from the world – or what you think of as your world – when the 12th house is being activated…a fab time to do therapy, a personal pilgramage etc.

Soul Sector doings are deeply subliminal and as for the Self-Undoing theme, i don’t really go along with that. But i expect it has to do with how 12th house themes – secrets – can manifest as addictions and all that end of life. I know when i had Uranus in my 12th house, i operated way more subversively & led a v.insular life & then -wham – Uranus got to my Ascendent – everything changed.

So, something to think about: How do you work/use the sign/Sun/Moon or planets in your 12th house?? Do you repress them?  Is there any link to secrets there? The 12th House is spooky  and multi-layered as will be your answers to this question, if you muse upon it enough.

Quick examples as i am dashing: i HAVE noticed that peeps with Mars in the 12th are WAY more angry than they seem. Sublimated Mars. Also you often meet super-Low versions of the sign in your 12th House in early life, Jupiter there is secret blessings…

Saturn-Venusian Transits & Venus-Neptune/Pisces/12th House

August 13, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 34 comments

cover_3Having Saturn transitting one’s Venus is like being stalked by a scary life coach. If your Venus is between 18 and 26 degrees of a Mutable sign, you’re having a Saturn-Venus transit. Or 18 to 26 of anything but especially the Mutable. It’s very similar if Saturn is aspecting your Ascendent  or Descendent.  Or transitting (I so nearly typed transhitting) your 5th or 7th House.

So my Venus – this is just to illustrate- is at 22 Pisces and trine Neptune in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces peeps are already prone to romanticise – having it trine Neptune is just the icing. So the other day I’m walking out of the gym and my mind meanders to the stupid Uranian & his devastating combo of black hair/blue eyes & how charming he can be when not off his face. Venus-Neptune v.quickly took me to a point where I was thinking how my Saturn his on his North Node and that maybe it is my destiny to sort his life out or something like that.

Suddenly I swear I practically heard the voice of Saturn; ‘get a fuqing grip, don’t date men who are beneath you.’  Now Venus in Pisces is about universal compassion and she certainly doesn’t think people are beneath you. But Saturn is all about setting standards and having the self-control to stick to them. Venus in Pisces never lets go of an ex. She drops them – yes- and usually for someone else but then Venus in Pisces doubles-back & re-idealizes the Ex, just for kicks. It gets Venus in Pisces peeps (Venus-Neptune is similar) a bad reputation but they don’t mean to be manipulative.

Venus in Pisces/12th House/aspecting Neptune has another core competency – apart from compassion and forgiveness; the ability to imbue anyone she considers hot with enormous spiritual qualities & a sense of fate being at play. This is apt for men with the Venus set up as well – i say she as we are talking about Venus here. Men with Venus in Pisces/12th house/aspecting Neptune are usually v.aware of the Madonna-Ho complex. They live there, lol.

So if you’ve got Saturn on your case – right now the Taskmaster is at 20 degrees of Virgo – remember that he is just doing his job & that the sooner you set up some boundaries and enforce them + work about ten times harder than would seem appropriate, the Saturnine stress dissipates & cop the rewards: Health, Wealth & Wisdom.

Gemini Women Are Golddiggers Says Time Magazine

March 10, 2009 in Astro In Books, Astro-Cliches, Astro-Weird, Astro-Women by Mystic Medusa | 4 comments

Okay, it said this in 1928.

“Gemini (twins), May 22 to June 21, governed by Mercury. “Most Gemini natives try to walk in two directions at once.” They work on all manner of subjects, good or bad, and think they are producing logical and accurate results. High-powered U. S. businessmen are often Gemini. So are gold-digging women. Childishness, thin lips, lung trouble are Gemini characteristics. Under this sign were born Douglas Fairbanks, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Harry Emerson Fosdick, the late Queen Victoria, Walt Whitman, Patrick Henry, Alighieri Dante.”

Really, the whole article is absolutely brilliant.

The Aquarian astrologer Evangeline Adams is quoted thus:

“The wise man cooperates with the stars, the fool thinks he rules them.”

Wise women co-operate too. I know this arguable but I think the key thing to astrology – apart from understanding oneself and others better – is to try and figure out the nature of the times you are in & sort of go along with them…

Eg; if you are having a Pluto transit, things don’t WANT to stay the way they are. Where-ever Saturn lurks is where you HAVE to play it straight and it will take time….And money. And more time…
Am trying to think of whether or not I know any Gemini gold-diggers.
Kayne West, who did a song called Gold-Digger is a Gemini. Maybe they are more paranoid about it than other signs? Comes of having Taurus in their solar 12th?
And which sign was considered, by Time mag in 1928, to be lazy & “full of stagnant platitudes?”

NOTE: I am cleaning up my archives so this is being reposted next to another post re Gold-Diggers
