Loving Demi Moore But…

August 20, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 10 comments

I  love Demi Moore & actually have for yonks but how hard would it be for her Virgo-Mooned Leo Daughter Rumer Willis to have a birthday party during which her Multiple Scorpio Mum (Sun, Venus, Mercury and Neptune all really close together in Scorpio PLUS Demi has Pisces Rising with Uranus transitting over it so she is going to get weirder soon and with pleasure) insists upon shouting her shared lap dancers in public, papped by arrangement and Scorp-Mom looks eerily younger. Then again, imagine what you could learn from Demi — all those Scorp planets are in the 8th house even.

D.I.Y. Astro – The 2nd House…Your Wealth Sector

The 2nd house of your chart is known as the House of Earned Income – as opposed to the 8th house which can be money that just sorta comes to you…The 2nd House is your Money Box, your Wealth Sector and is symbolic  of your attitude toward toward lucre, material possessions and – deeper – your sense of self-adequacy.

Look first to the sign on the cusp of the House. And guys, the point of D.I.Y. Astro is that you glomp your chart off Astrodienst & have fun figuring it out here. There are always peeps to help or me, if you spring for an Astro-Query. Anyway, look to the sign on the cusp of the 2nd house. This is FUN. That sign is how you are with $$$.

So even though YOU may be a super-cautious & canny Capricorn, if you’ve got Leo lurking on the cusp of your 2nd – LOL. You will LIKE the sensation of having “proper” champagne in your fridge and you do not give a shit about what some wine wanker says about how some shit-house cheap sparkling wine is superior. No-no-no. You feel soothed by the registered orange hue of the Veuve label. Soothed.

Pisces on the cusp of the 2nd? You are so prone to giving stuff away. Things come to you when you need them as if by osmosis. Things go with ease. You’re like a walking installation of The Secret. Scorpio/Cancer on the cusp of the 2nd? You’re likely to be one of those peeps who just have the investment knack. You leapt in at the start of the tech boom and nipped out again quick smart. You can turn $5 into $500 and to you it’s as sensual and pleasurable as growing something in the garden.

But it’s not just the signs on the cusp of the 2nd. It’s also what’s in there! The classic challenged-by-money placement is our ye olde friend Saturn. Yet remember that your Saturn area gets buffed and buffed via loads of work and angsting till finally it becomes your shiniest area? Saturn in the 2nd house gets clobbered in early youth by seeming to lose money, be ripped off, just feeling always stuggling but by Jove, when this lot get self-reliant, they are a force. Healthy, wealthy & wise indeed.

Venus & Jupiter there – the benefics of trad astro – bless the person with the ability to sort of drum it up from nowhere, walk out the door and get offered the gig they need & even be fairly fortunate in just finding the stuff. Venus/Jupiter in the 2nd trots into garage sales & comes out clutching the actual valuable antique. Or gets a massive crush on some artist at uni who gives her his/her etchings & voila, they’re worth heaps at a later date.

Think also that you can make money via following the attributes of whatever sign/planet is plonked there. And don’t worry if no planet there – it just means it’s not that important to you. Uranus in 2nd; money off the net, via inventions & television. Neptune; film, acting, science fantasy. You could even have the gift of literally dreaming up profitable ideas. Pluto is like mogul-land. People who literally go from having zilch to being officially selfmade millionaires often have Pluto (or Scorp) in the 2nd.

Mercury & the Moon in the 2nd – you’re able to intuit so eerily well what peeps want that you do amazingly well in corporate world/sales & – obviously – writing/self-expression. Retail genius often goes with the Moon in the 2nd. Knowing what peeps want before they know it. Being able to divine trends.

So check out your 2nd house and try to go with it a bit. Oh and another one – Mars/Aries in 2nd house – they will go hard at it and take it as a personal assualt to their ego if you try to come between them and their earning power. They get off on earning & flashing it about a bit. It’s not vulgar – it’s just like someone with another kind of strong Mars doing chin-ups on the door to impress you.

Again, this is why i love astrology, it’s so helpful to get how peeps truly are different. So if one person feels  inclined to hoard & hoard whilst another is like carpe-diem,  it’s not that either of them are wrong! Go for it – check out your 2nd house, the sign on the cusp, anything in there (South NOde is like you’re over material security and feel stuck by it, North Node is like you GOTTA get it and have it to feel spiritually secure) whether or not you’re working it right AND any big transits through it…

D.I.Y. Astro: Stud or Dud – His Mars Sign

I know. Tres cheesy. And Stud or Dud is hideously sexist to guys but it is light-hearted, yah?

Some Mars signs are super-well-placed…Mars in Aries, the sign it rules, Mars in Capricorn (exalted) and Mars in Scorpio, ruled by Mars before Pluto was discovered.  Mars in the opposite signs of this lot is considered way less strong; Mars in Libra, Mars Cancer and Mars in Taurus. Also Mars in Pisces – this being the sign that Venus is exalted in.

Men with Mars in Libra, Cancer or Taurus could (technically) be said to exhibit a higher degree of pass-agg behaviour or have probs asserting themselves directly. Note that Mars rules ambition, energy levels, anger & libido. It also rules “men”.  Now, IF the Mars is on the Midheaven (Capricornian vibe) or Ascendent (Aries-like vibe) then it’s considered to be strong enough to cancel out even a less-desirable sign placement. Likewise the Houses. The 1st, 8th and 10th houses are all super-strong placements for Mars.

Mars in negative aspect to Neptune seems to so often associated with the official vices (OTT addictions & gambling + general neer do well grifting). Mars in challenging aspect to Saturn, Pluto & Uranus can also produce the classic rebel sans cause or even an overly angry guy. Note how I am tempering my language. This is not meant to be diagnostic astro for any guy in your life – as charts are complex things! But leaving aside the worst-case Mars scenarios, it’s really interesting to look at your man’s Mars sign for better understanding.

For instance, if a man has Mars in Libra, he WILL dither and it’s got nothing to do with you…Mars in Aries runs a hell of a lot on Respect & Pride; don’t kill it. Mars in Virgo WILL wig over details & crap service. If  you see a man with a Kataka (Cancerian) Mars, you’re most likely looking at some convoluted seduction style. If a man with Mars in Scorp or Capricorn wants you,  you’ll know all about it. They don’t muck about. Mars-In-Taurus moves at glacial pace & is super-hard to budge from an entrenched situation. Mars in Gemini will “jump” fast. Are you getting it?

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour: Weddings

May 20, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 74 comments

esteelauderbeautifuledpforwomen

This astro-query ain’t about love  nor even committment – it’s about the actual wedding ceremony.  Citing your Sun/Rising/Moon or anything you think relevant, did you ever have a wedding fantasy or fetish?  Bridezilla? Do you think it is important to commerate a great love with a ritual in front of your friends & family or do you think it is a relic from the Dark Ages?  Historically the best man was there to help prevent the bride running away.

As a an Aqua Rising and even though my Venus trines Neptune (romantic), I’ve never ever had wedding day fantasies. Even though i’ve been engaged twice and married once. And Uranus (ruler of my ascdendent) is conjunct Mars and Pluto in the 8th, so i’ve always been able to think of better things to do with the $ then a dress you’d only wear once…the whole thing. And, don’t hate me for this, even when i hear amazing stories of weddings from people i like/love, i kind of tune out. Maybe i read too many feminist books at a tender age? Too many married men chasing me? But i always wanted kids & had them young and love those soppy reincarnated lovers stories. So anyway, I am betting that the Aqua influence is fairly anti-wedding, same with Gemini.  Virgoans I know always do them big and properly…Your thoughts?

NOTE: but i am brilliant at picking wedding dates! Please don’t think it biasses me…lol.

D.I.Y. Astro – The House Of Hubris

Bugs Bunny, Officially a Leo.

This one is FUN. As always with D.I.Y. Astro, you can whiz off to Astrodienst to generate a chart & check this out.

The house where you have LEO, ladies & gentleman, is where you have to shine, get trophies, be up yourself and have almost a teenagie & egomaniacal lust for life & sensation. It’s where you – DO admit – like a bit of drama & cannot bear things to be tatty nor naff. It’s your sector of bling & mirrors where, actually, it IS a bit of a performance but so what?!

Life is not allowed to be humdrum in the House of Hubris, soz, Leo & it’s also where you thrive on expressing a creative & playful attitude to the whole thing. Anyone attempting to guilt you in areas that pertain to the House of Love awakens your ire, turning you into a minotaur-style tower of outrage. You can’t dress down in the House of Leo. Shine or Abdicate.

Some examples; 7th House Leo goes for looks-looks-looks when it comes to partners & they’ll worry about the sanity etc later. 10th house Leo is a genius at self-promo & come alive when they’re on the telly. Has billboard fantasies. 3rd House Leo rehearses anecdotes & attempts to bignote siblings. 9th house Leo is ostenatatious traveller with “proper” luggage…never baggage. 8th House Leo – a PORN star?

And, this is heaven, whilst you’re figuring out your House of Hubris/Leo, note that action-planet Mars is going to be stimulating it non-stop from October 09 to June 2010….Eight months of egomanically fuelled passion & creation.

Martian Bats Confidential is now up – It is a sign by sign rave re how to max out the benefits of Mars in Leo for these eight months.

How Virgo Are You?

Stationery Fetish

If only one of these pictures arouses you then you are Just Virgo Enough. Two? You’re an Official Virgo & probably already making a list of desirable stationery on one of your several ‘clean’ pads that just happen to be at hand. Three? Virgo Absolute. And you don’t need me nor stationery websites to inspire your, uh, preference.

UPDATE:

Oh Bliss – Scorpalicious Robot, clearly a stationery fetishist of some note, has sweetly sent me in a more “sexy” stapler. This is IT. No more. From memory, I think this woman has Virgo in the EIGHTH HOUSE.

The Eerie 8th House

March 24, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Houses by Mystic Medusa | 69 comments

donaldduckantivdposter

The 8th House is the spookiest sector of your astro-chart. Oh well, that’s arguable. I guess anywhere where Pluto is placed could count as well. The 8th house is akin to Scorpio/Plutonic energy. It’s traditionally associated with (and this in alphabetical order straight from my Rulership Book)  astral experiences, autopsies, collection of debts, executions, genitals, graveyards, heirlooms, hemorrhoids, hidden things, life after death, life force, mysticism, occult matters, passion, rebith, rectum, reincarnation, sex, the soul, venereal disease & wills.

In ye olden days, people with crowded 8th houses would get a shocking schtick from astrologers way less open-minded & tolerant than we are today.

Strong 8th house types (people with the Sun, Moon or a plethora of planets in the 8th) are super-strong extremophiles. They are often drawn to extreme environments; emergency rooms, brothels, being a depth psychiatrist, whistle-blowers, undercover detectives…They have huge powers of regeneration, secrets and strong e.s.p. re any of the above matters. Look to your 8th house to see how you are tenacious & psychic, sexy & a survivor. Mars, Pluto, Aries, Scorpio and Capricorn all have affinity with the 8th house.

On the most shallow level, if you – or someone you are interested in – has a loaded 8th house, sex is like a super-important primal drive, all chakras a go-go. Ignore or diminish that & well, this ain’t someone who’ll stick around just for the thrill of bickering in Ikea with you.

Count Duckula: the Ultimate Aquarian Man?

March 6, 2009 in Astro-Men, Astro-Weird, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 24 comments

duckulaweb01

Aphrodite help me, I am starting to actually like the Leo-Rising-Aquarian-Rugger-Stud. Even after i swore off Aquarian men…Anyway, I rescued this from the archives…

Oh how I love Count Duckula – his official job title was Dilettante but he was also a failed farmer & mountie.

“Powers/Abilities: All the traditional vampire powers. Additionally, Duckula could be revived even if destroyed by a means that would normally eliminate a vampire for ever. Castle Duckula could teleport itself and it’s occupants anywhere in the world instantaneously, though it would also automatically return home at dawn, Transylvanian time, whether the residents were back inside or not.

History: “Castle Duckula, home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty of vicious vampire ducks the Counts of DUCKULA. Legend has it that these foul beings can be destroyed by a stake through the heart, or exposure to sunlight. This does not suffice, however, for they may be brought back to life by means of a secret rite, which can be performed once a century, when the moon is in the eighth house of Asparagus. The latest reincarnation did not run according to plan…”

He is an Aquarius!!!! Note: Cartoon characters birthdate always is their first appearance.

I love how surrealism-absurdism-dada, whatever – snuck its way into the early cartoon world. More here

The Astrology Of Lady GaGa

March 6, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-Women, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

lady-gaga-just-dance

It’s taken me a while but have just realised that every third song i hear at the gym lately is Lady Gaga and that i quite like some of the songs. Plus the ferocity of her media presence is undeniable.  I like her.

“…Wearing a jacket with giant feathers on the shoulders, wolfing down rigatoni bolognese like the good Italian girl she is, GaGa spoke for more than an hour, and did not utter a single word with less than total conviction. Even if her music doesn’t do it for ya, it’s hard to hate her chutzpah.

‘..I genuinely used to rub people in the wrong way. I’d talk about things and do things that were very ostentatious, and over the top, and very vain. And it’s part of my artistic aesthetic. I think you’re born an artist. It’s like being gay. You’re born gay, and then you discover that’s who you are over a period of time in a world where maybe being gay is not the normal thing. Then you look it in the eye and you say thank you, and you put it in your heart and you lock it up and you go. When you’re 12 years old and making clothes with plastic flowers attached to them, and trying to choreograph shows at your school that are entirely too sexy — you start to be like, Okay, this is my aesthetic. My aesthetic is in so many ways exactly the same as it was when I was younger, I’m just smarter. And I know how to execute the ideas….’ “

From Popwatch

Her astro is interesting:  Sun, Mercury & Jupiter all in Pisces and squaring Mars, Saturn & Uranus together in Sagittarius.  That’s totally apt astro for a driven & original iconoclastic artist who will just not shut up no matter what. Jupiter trines Pluto in Scorp: she gets herself rich & I am guessing she has a Leo rising?  Hence Pisces planets in the 8th and the Sagg stuff in the 5th.

Who Says Taureans Can’t Be Eccentric?

Taureans can SO be eccentric.

Florence Nightingale had SIXTY cats, including Persians named Disreaeli, Bismarck and Gladstone – politicians of her day. For over a decade, she travelled with a little white owl named Athene constantly nestled in her breast, released to fly around and hunt from time to time. I love that – Athene being the goddess of wisdom and the white owl her symbol.

Florence Nightingale Astro-Fiend Notes: Virgo rising with the South node, Mars conjunct Ceres in Leo & Sun-Moon-Vesta in Taurus/8th House.
