I remember now – Vampires are Aquarian – like Count Duckula…It FITS! Eccentric diets, non-trad social values and an abiding loyalty combined with erratic libido. But they always look great & you can take them anywhere.

Guess what??? Those primal throbbings ain’t just Pluto in slo-mo, stationing Direct. Nor Saturn revving up to oppose Uranus again. Dark Moon Lilith is conjunct the North Node in Capricorn. Let’s just say Lilith is the Bitch Goddess & that she is a Good Thing. Archaic feminine power and all that. And so we have Dark Moon Lilith conjunct (very powerful) the North Node (manifest destiny) and in the mega-pragmatic sign of Capricorn at 27 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.
So who has been vowing to be (productively) more of a bitch lately? Especially where it pertains to clearing out the crappy old residue from being too nice, sentimental and goo-goo. Like Saturn Girl, Lilith in Capricorn hasn’t much time for L.O.A. style thinking – she’s set & forget when it comes to boundaries/standards et al. But with the North Node involvement, the boundaries are more like borders between two different eras.
The Saturn-Uranus opposition links in nicely as well – Saturn in Virgo is trining Lilith & Uranus sextile. So it’s like harnessing the power of Saturn/Lilith to achieve Uranian ends, if you like. Ditto the North Node ends as being our “ideal” future. And being enough of a bitch to jettison those elements of the past that don’t work or not wanting to go back to a place you CAN’T revisit…and why would you want to???
And, btw, this is so beautiful and such a lovely omen: if you look up in the sky at night right now, you can see the nearly Full Moon very close to Jupiter, the Greater Benefic and official auspicious planet. Fab for Aquarians! Have a look and make a wish.
This Donald Duck clip is SO poignant, truly.
Am not going to name any particular signs here, but I am wondering if there is a particular Sun Sign – or Mercury sign, for clever-clogs – that is more prone to getting elocution lessons, trying to move beyond the natural accent of their background, bung on a totally different voice or try to speak more proper, like. That was ironic crap grammar.
Geminis & Aquarians have a shocking propensity to automatically mimic whatever accent is around them. Around rah-rah types, they’ll ponce it up to become braying horray Henry/Henriettas and at the local Indian, they’ll suddenly sound authentically Bombay born-and-bred. Libra & Capricorn are usually credited with the social climbing evolution of accent whilst I have watched female Pisceans be crapping onto their friends in a high-pitched rave and suddenly switch into sexy breathy goo-goo all-purpose come hithery tones upon the arrival of a potential ‘mate.’ Taureans – I think – have beautiful voices & tend to be the most melodious speakers…
Thoughts???
Maybe it’s my Moon Progressed into Gemini OR the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction trining my natal Moon in Libra – always an excuse for being bats – but I am increasingly intrigued by the Polyphasic Sleep Cycling. I mean, so far Aqua-Girl still seems sane. Serene even. It may be all the make-up.
But so as not to turn into something scary a la the above picture I think i need a High Tech Cosmovoide Luxury Bed. It would be an investment. It’s practical and would aid productivity. It starts at $61,000 USD. For a BED. It’s not the kind of thing the company would just Fed-Ex out to a blogger to test and post about.
THEY SAY:
“…the Cosmovoïde Bed, where you can hover on the brink of falling into a deep healing sleep, before awakening relaxed and refreshed, with optimal physical and psychic potential. This high-tech luxury
bed is characterized by its individual springs suspended from the structure by self-suspension, the same principle as used for hammocks. This absolute design touts the elements of a luxurious four-poster
bed. The side view, which mimics the shape of an egg derived from golden number geometry, gives the
bed its relaxing properties. The user will find the wave shape and the symbolism of an egg, reminiscent of the “cosmic egg,” from which its name ‘Cosmovoïde’ is drawn. Made by craftsmen in the North of France, the high-tech Cosmovoïde
bed features 2 electric relaxation
bed frames, 7 LED lamps in the colors of the rainbow, a television integrated at the foot of the
bed, a DVD player, high-definition home cinema set up, 6 power sockets, and a telephone…”
I think that, for that price, they could get WAY more cosmic. I mean if someone cares enough to manufacture – soz, CRAFT in the North of France – a bed that evokes Sacred Geometry, the Cosmic Egg and the Golden Mean etc etc then surely we can do a little better than “led lamps in the colours of the rainbow”? I would expect built in Lucid Dreaming Goggles as a very basic feature here. Is some aromatherapy diffusion too much to ask? Surely.
If $$$ were no object would you purchase the High Tech Cosmovoide Luxury Bed???

I think this picture is so-SO-so very Aqua man. Every now and then I note Peter Beard’s name in an article & it’s always capable of provoking a w.t.f. moment. He’s a photographer, artist, writer, friend to an extraordinary array of luminaries & used to best known for photographing endangered African elephants & supermodels. Super-influential & ecletic, ahead of his time – an evolved Aquarian.
From His Wiki
“…Beard channels most of his creative energy into his collage-work and diaries, which he began to compile in 1949 at the age of eleven. Peter Beard began keeping diaries as a child and after discovering a love of photography, used photographs to extend and enhance them. Beard read Karen Blixen’s Out of Africa, which inspired him to travel to Africa in 1955. He took many pictures of the wildlife there and began putting them into collages and use animal blood and remains along with clippings to create his work.
In these works, he documents the history of his relationships with (among other things); Africa, Karen Blixen, the New York art scene, the fashion world, Hollywood, and the Kennedy administration. Page after page is covered with photographs of women, transcribed telephone messages, marginalia in India ink, clippings from the daily newspapers, dried leaves and insects, old sepia-toned photographs, drawings of animals and people by Kikuyu artists, quotes by Joseph Conrad, found objects, images of decaying elephant carcasses, and sometimes, Beard’s own blood….”
He Says He’s Not Really A Saggo
The other night, at kickboxing class, i was partnered with a Scorpio. When she told me her sign, she said “Oh well I’m a Scorpio but none of that stuff fits me. I don’t have any of the Scorpio traits.” Then she proceeded to belt the shit out of me to the point that i had to seriously engage just to not be knocked over & express various relatively Scorpionic opinions. Not so much the actual opinions but their vehemence and tint of obession.
“…My boyfriend’s put on weight as he’s studying so hard. I can’t stand it. I won’t tolerate even a gram of extra fat. Not on me, not on him…I do 1000 crunches a day…I am locked into an endless power struggle with him. But i don’t care. Truth be told, I kind of like it. Relationships with no power dynamics bore me….And the sex is amazing…I am going to do whatever it takes to get on television this year…My co-worker is so infuriating. I am plotting to end his employment…” And all the while this intense, fixed gaze, like a Barn Owl.
She is, said the Scorpio Sex Academic, clearly a Scorpio-in-Denial. My friend Not-The-Typical Virgo is constantly decrying her lack of “real” Virgoan traits to the world even as she gently chides one for various sins against etiquette, puncutation & an orderly existence. I knew a Leo once who said she deplored ostentatious grooming & liked to be understated yet her ego was IMMENSE only she felt herself to have such natural chutzpah as to be above the actual plebian crap such as WASHING that most of us do to be attractive etc.
AQUARIANS are the worst offenders. And not only the men. They are prime candidates for “well none of that eccentric stuff fits me, I’m intensely normal” when they’re SO bats…Arieans are the least likely to be in denial about their Sun Sign traits – they love being the Alpha Sign enough to OWN it. And some peeps blur cusp lines (the boundary between two Sun Signs) just as people claim to be living in Salubrious Heights when really they’re down there in East Zemblanity…Not that there is anything innately wrong with any of the signs, but those people born WELL within a particular sign, then claiming that they’re “on the cusp…” like it means anything remind me of real estate agents blurring boundaries.
Which sign do you think is the most likely to be In Denial?
This pic makes me think of what would have happened to Winona Ryder in Heathers had she grown up and become an architect. BUT anyway, the Astro-Sun-Sign Query Du Jour is Smoking. Do you? Would you? Did you? Could you?
Smoking is technically sort of Mars-Neptunian as it is an addiction but there is probably MORE to it than that. I don’t but I did once. Yet this is not a forum to air hideous health issues. It’s bad-bad-bad. My Gemini G.P. puts it up there with wheat & dairy, lol. It’s more whether it goes with any particular sign or astro-signature.
I know several Scorps and Aquarians who – honestly – go from Vipassana for ten days & then straight to some inquity hole of shame for a smoking binge. One Aquarian male claims that it is important for his chart “to earth him.” As he has hardly any Earth in his chart. I have also a girlfriend in love with a Scorpio Ex-Commando who takes icy cold showers, eats things like grapefruits and prunes for brek with black coffee, abuses laxatives if he feels “fat” and smokes as if the world would cease to turn should he stop. I surmise that they are also both signs who HATE to have the government telling them to do anything. They’d think it a conspiracy & you can get into an argument during which the Scorp or Aqua chain smokes and heatedly points out shit that The Government has done over the years.
My ex The Uranian (Aquarius with Moon conjunct Uranus in Libra) tied it in with his Bolshevik stance but only if they are rollies. That – to him – is like an important distinction. I know a Scorpio woman who thinks it doesn’t count so long as it is after midnight.
But the hardcore habitual smokers tend also to be Capricorns – they’re not doing it in insane Scorp-Aqua style from-the-health-spa to the local shame-hole. They’re moderate & secretly think that what they’re doing is somehow still a form of being suave. This is totally anecdotal…Least likely; Librans or strongly Libran types. They’re too scent-aware to hack it.
“And yet a restless, always unsatisfied craving for the nudity of paganism,” she interrupted, “but that love, which is the highest joy, which is divine simplicity itself, is not for you moderns, you children of reflection. It works only evil in you. As soon as you wish to be natural, you become common. To you nature seems something hostile; you have made devils out of the smiling gods of Greece, and out of me a demon. You can only exorcise and curse me, or slay yourselves in bacchantic madness before my altar. And if ever one of you has had the courage to kiss my red mouth, he makes a barefoot pilgrimage to Rome in penitential robes and expects flowers to grow from his withered staff, while under my feet roses, violets, and myrtles spring up every hour, but their fragrance does not agree with you. Stay among your northern fogs and Christian incense; let us pagans remain under the debris, beneath the lava; do not disinter us. Pompeii was not built for you, nor our villas, our baths, our temples. You do not require gods. We are chilled in your world.”
Wanda in Venus In Furs by Leopold Von Sacher Masoch…he was an Aquarian, btw.
Blasto, my fave (discontinued) playstation game.
So Saturn opposed Uranus and all I got was this bad temper. Mind you, is also as p.m.t. + lovely Seven jeans feel tight-as. Thank you, jelly snakes and Jupiter nearing my Ascendant. But i’m onto it. Am tuning into Saturn-in-Virgo: no tricks, no stupid food rules, just movement & ye olde willpower to not eat stodge.
Anyway, Aquarians. Especially the men: You guys now have Mars in your sign till March 15. So, whilst Arieans go all sooky-goo-goo and start drifting around pondering belly-jewels to make their navel-gazing even more fulfilling, reading Rumi & getting themselves caught up in (eek) conflicting, mysterious and yet alluring emotional merde – AQUARIANS are going to be like the new Arieans. Yes. Mars was last in Aquarius from late Feb to early April 2007. But this time the planet of war, lust, ambition and energy is hyped by Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and the North Node also in Aquarius.
So, Aquarians are going to be out of their (already avant-garde) minds, horny, militant and seething with megalomania. Lots of high-faluting inventive new schemes will be floated in the next few weeks. And, where-ever Aquarius is in your chart, is where all the action is and you can access Mars-energy. Oh, and the last time Mars was in Aquarius, Saturn was still opposing in Leo – in some cases, ideas that simply could not fly for whatever reason back in early 2007 will now be at least vaguely bouyant again. So, Aquarians; Go forth and invent. If temper tantrums get too much for glacial you – channel the spaz into martial arts, the gym or even more reinvention. Meditation is probably a good idea but isn’t it only really Taureans and Scorpios who are any good at it??
Happy Jupiter into Aquarius…I have Aquarius Rising (and Eros, the sexy asteroid is there too) so I love this astro-passage but the last time Jove was in Aqua, I got fat. Watch out if you have Aquarius Rising! You’ll develop a reverse version of body dysmorphia, thinking you’re svelte a la Beyonce but you can’t quite fit throught the door!
Anyway, Jupiter into Aqua has me in mind of astro-gambling. I never think like this. The astro columns with lucky numbers for lotto and suchlike must surely be joking. If one knew the numbers, one would play them once or twice & voila…Sudden concern with problems of the mega-wealthy. But I have decided to look into it. Purely to impress the Aries Bra Boy who tiled my kitchen last week. It’s not so dodgy as it sounds. He got a text msg and stepped back in ultra-surprise, so i peeked at the text. Because I have Mercury in Aries, it’s not nosy. It’s more about my right to know everything. And ego. Respect etc.
Anyway, the text msg said something like ‘Karmic Surprise’ and ‘I Have A Secret’. I became way more intrigued than i would normally be & only later did i realise it was about racehorses. So, to disguise my disappointment, I enthused my head off and claimed to be on the verge of discovering some sort of amazing astrological horse betting system. Total bullshit, of course, but we peeps with Mercury in Aries are very much In The Moment.
So far, all i have found is this but i already know that Jupiter, the 5th house & Venus etc are lucky. Is there some maniac out there who runs racehorse birthdata through astro-software & then calibrates it to the current transits and the Feng Shui of the racecourse? All i need is one hot tip. It’s confusing for me as I thought all racehorses were officially born on August 3. At least in Australia. ie; All Leos.
It’s even more ridiculous as my Aquarian father spend years fruitlessly researching a mathematical/numerological betting system. Along with the new method of telling tame, patented at vast expense etc. I don’t need to go here! But Astro-Fiends, note, Pluto is now beginning a long, slow, lazy-take-your-time trine to my IC.
Astro-Dieting Notes:
During Saturn transits one often stalks around feeling like shit, all cheekbones and existential glowerings but it’s all one can do to force down some green tea and celery. Often the rigours of a macrobiotic diet or bodybuilding egg white omelette sort of a thing seem to match one’s Saturnine inner state.
During Jupiter transits people think of sensuality & grapes, of celebrating. But wasn’t Jupiter a bit plump? Like Buddha? He’d transform himself into something more suitably seductive for when he swooped down to stun nymphs & what-not.
