Aqua-Man & Hunky Doorstopping

Life is way quieter since I stopped seeing my two Aqua Men although the Uranian turned up at my house the other night, to try on a bit of Hunky-Doorstopping. It is a technique that I am convinced he copied totally off an old Paul Newman movie. I will post the exact You Tube clip if enough people want to see a PRIME example of Hunky Doorstopping technique. Or even understand what it is.

Anyway, whenever i see Robbie Williams (above, in dressing gown with light sabre) it makes me miss Aquarius men and all their battiness. Robbie Williams is Sun-Mercury-Jupiter in Aquarius, as personified by this quote: “I didn’t lose my mind, it was mine to give away.”

UPDATE: Hunky Doorstopping is like the Aqua-Man speciality. They hate it when you call them and they’re usually quite freaked by “arranged” dates as they have a spontaneity fetish. So they just turn up, on your doorstep and so they have to be hunky to get away with it.

The Uranian actually studied the movie Harper for some diploma thing  & I had never seen it. When I finally DID, i grokked how he perfected his Hunky Doorstopping technique.  The other Aquarian – ex-league player – has NEVER seen it or any movie as he was “against” culture and was (this is real) concerned about his glutes stagnating if he had to sit still for as long it would take to watch a whole film.  So his Hunky Doorstopping technique not nearly so good.

And yes, Paul Newman an Aquarian. Has anyone else been Hunky Doorstopped by Aqua men? Note also sudden surge of recent nostalgia on the Dark Moon and with Mercury Retrograde. This is another reason why it’s good to diet and stay sober on Dark Moons – so you don’t start calling the fiends. Finally, if you ever Doorstopped an Aquarian (as in turned up sans notice) they would call the Riot Squad.

Astro-Compatibility: Aquarius & Pisces

The attraction here is quite strong at first as each tries to out-weird the other. There is a natural affinity between these two; both like to buck the dominant societal paradigm.

But Pisces is usually way-way-way more emo than our Aqua. And Pisces will FLIP when they realise how glacial Aqua can be.  Then again, Aquarius acts all more-individuated-than-thou but is actually a fixed sign and so it’s Pisces who who’ll go charging off into the depths of his/her personal ocean with nothing more than a flick of their quicksilvery tail the nanosecond Aquarius seems too stuck.

Pisceans flirt the way most people BREATHE. As in; unconsciously, deep, shallow, controlled, uncontrolled, yogic, whatever – but to sustain existence. Aquarius craps on about Free Love a lot but is secretly insanely jealous.

Aquarius loves a cause & whilst Pisces is compassionate, they like to keep on-the-move. They’re a highly noticable pair as a couple and can – given good sex & both being vaguely self-actualising – thrive for yonks on their own erratic orbit.

Aqua 1 & Aqua 2

Lol, this is NOT about my Aquarius men again. No, no, NO. It’s actually about how even though Aquarius is not one of the classical ‘twin’ or ‘dual’ signs, a la Gemini & Pisces or even Sagg (half Wise Centaur-Sage, half back end of Horse), there are two different types of Aquarius. At least, such is the theory.

Before the discovery of Uranus (in 1781 and the thing was originally going to be called Herschel, after the discoverer, a Scorpio) Aquarius was said to be ruled by Saturn. So there was Capricorn ruled by Saturn and then Aquarius also ruled by Saturn only an Air sign.

The idea is that you have your whackjob Uranian kind of Aquarius who will simply not conform to any norm ever invented…just because. He/she is totally into freedom for all creatures & proves it on a daily basis, in one way or another.

And then you have your more austere sort of Saturnine Aquarian, who tends more toward the scientific & intellectual rigours of some lofty calling, rather than every day Uranian rebellion. They’re a bit more controlling and not into emo but often genius-like in some area. Saturnine Aquas keep their distance from me – the last one I met said to me: “Let me get this perfectly straight. You make your living from something that does not exist?”

So, I only know the Uranian ones, when they deign to beam down from where-ever it is Uranians zing off to. Also, I am not sure about this but i have noticed that a lot of Aquarians completely blossom after Saturn Return and in spectacular fashion.  Thoughts?

Go The Singularity!

Well, I love that the Ancient Mayans aced the Venus cycles absolutely yonks ago – without telescopes et al, they figured that the Morning Star & the Evening Star – Venus a.k.a. Xolotl – were the same planet, even though appearing on different sides of the sky.

But so far as the future goes, I’m  backing Ray Kurzweil,  a futurist, entrepeneur & mathmatician who says we are about to experience a fabulous & mind-boggling event known as The Singularity.  I was reading a profile of the gent this morning & I knew within nanoseks that he is an Aquarius.  Even apart from The Singularity, all the Aqua indicators were there…

* He invented a program called FatKat – Financial Accelerating Transactions from Kurzweil Adaptive Technologies – that plays the stockmarket for him so that he has more time for other projects. He also invented an automatic poetry generator called the Cybernetic Poet. He has a part-time employee purely to manage his vitamins and nutritional supplements. He is currently working on nanobots that will be injected inside the body to extend human lifespan. Has not consumed sugar for decades but drinks red wine daily, for the reservaterol.

And yah! He is Aquarius – Feb 12 1948 so also with Saturn-Pluto in Leo & Uranus trining his Aqua Sun.

I can’t quite grok what The Singularity is all about…only that amazing technology will be harnessed for the good of ALL – ie; feed the whole world & revolutionise all that ails us now. This would, of course, be a wonderful manifestation of innovative Uranus in gung-ho, pioneering Aries, Pluto in Capricorn & Neptune in Pisces….All of which is upon us soon.

So, next time someone grizzles to me about the Mayans, 2012 movie et al – I shall say ‘but what about The Singularity?’ and be done with it.

Peter Beard

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….”

Batman & Catwoman

April 7, 2009 in Astro In Books by Mystic Medusa | 10 comments

gothamnightxlI always thought Catwoman was the only one Batman truly loved. The DC Universe Calendar helpfully has heaps of the official birthdays for their characters; Batman (Feb 19) is an Aquarius & Catwoman (March 14) a Pisces. He knows she is messing with his glacial Aqua-Cool but can’t keep away. She lives for those moments when he lets his guard drop and shows some slight emo. She also knows he is Bruce Wayne.

BUT – according to this Telegraph article,  Cher (yes, Cher) is to be Catwoman in the next Batman movie. I am so not sure about this. The director wants more of a “vamp in her twilight years” vibe.

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour: Your Weirdest Flatmate Was WHAT SIGN?!

March 11, 2009 in Astro-Cliches, Astro-Query, Astro-Weird by Mystic Medusa | 37 comments

Right, Happy Full Moon & all.

This week’s Astro-Sun-Sign Query Du Jour – the latest in our ‘research project’ is YOUR WEIRDEST FLATMATE WAS WHAT SIGN?!

I have three contenders for this…And, to be fair, I am sure that i was someone’s weirdest flatmate myself. I think it is always worth acknowledging that point.But these flatmates were all joyously raving astro-cliches…By which i mean SO true to the most trite traits of their Sun Sign that it was  – at best – archetypal.

* Flatmate One:  Female – Sagg. She was alarmingly athletic, leggy, toothy, tanned and super-candid to a point that stunned people. She spent all of her spare money on sports equipment that she was totally thrilled about. So my friends and I blew $ we didn’t have on booze, shoes, poetry and perfume – hers went on kayaks, mountain bikes, new running shoes, skis – fresh sports socks if she really broke. Had a banker boyfriend whom, she candidly admitted, was to “facilitate” international snowboarding excursions. Also prone to fleeting but very-intense-whilst-they-lasted-lust-crush-fixations on men whom she would blatantly stalk. Slept nude. Opened door in the nude. Studied in the nude. Rarely drank due to usually having to be up at 4.30 am for some kind of run or kayaking event but when she did get On It, Sagg-Flatmate would quickly go from ‘one glass of wine after tutorial’ to debating law with bouncers trying to eject her for dancing topless on the table.

* Flatmate Two: Male – Aquarius. A much older and bearded Gestalt therapist and frequenter of workshops. Recently divorced and the part-time parent of two daughters, he had populated his house with teenage student flatmates with the incentive: ‘live here, close to uni, I am so cool with you bringing all your fabulous friends around and partying day and night…Truly relaxed living, no hassles etc.’  It did not occur to me until years later that this may have been the source of his frequent day-long domestics with his ex-wife on the verandah. Fave Saying: ‘that’s your shit…’ Morphed between being quite fascinating a la discussing mythology et al to pompous and ostentatious meditating in the middle of the living room with Nag Champa burning and his horrid white belly freaking out his cute-teenage-flatmates + their lovers and then again to cannabis-inspired creepy investigative candour and flaccid passes.

* Flatmate Three – THE WINNER OF MY PERSONAL WEIRD FLATMATE COMP:  Male – Aries...He was v.short and muscular. Had huge pile of smut in the living room, not really looked at and just magazines but there to make the point that he could. He constantly denounced feminism, in really bonkers way. And would get visibly thrilled if you argued with him about it. Like visibly. Beads of sweat on brow, unbuttoning his shirt a bit and let’s open another bottle of wine. Read endless tracts of stuff such as Shere Hite and Germaine Greer to get his “ammo.”  Slept between sheep and goat skins as did not approve of sheets. Had v.expensive stereo etc but always kept doors/windows unlocked because – he said – his karma was so fantastic. Could not go three sentences in any conversation without doing pull-ups on the nearest door frame. Opinionated to the point that he was constantly getting into fights with people, which he enjoyed. Aries Flatmate had no formal martial arts training but genuinely loved fighting, especially if he could keep mouthing off whilst doing it. Blamed his frequent turnover of woman friends on Feminism.

Happy New Moon In Aquarius Solar Eclipse!!!

shaman_eclipse_1

Shaman Eclipse by Cuban born, New-York based artist  Myztico-Zen – check out  his utterly Aquarian Visionary Psychedelic Surrealist Site.

Happy New Moon in Aquarius! Yes, it’s a Solar Eclipse. All hail to the New. Mercury is still Retro in Aquarius, meaning that the fresh vibe may not be quite so instantly manifest as with some such Eclipses. Still we’re all in a new world now & I bet you had some sort of illuminating oh-my-godding eureka flash today and that had to do with your Future. Not your past. Peeps who are facing back, gazing wistfully into the past, get a decisive door slamming shut moment with this Eclipse. Note the hot-zone of three days before & three days after. And it’s conjunct Jupiter so it’s positivist + expansive.

What To Do On The Dark Moon

I am in Sydney & it’s some sort of a heatwave situation that favours lolling about having amazingly shallow & bimbonic conversations + receiving cryptic text messages from the Uranian.  But ideally, as it is the Dark of the Moon right before a Solar Eclipse, one should be vigorously cleaning, sorting & chucking out whatever is obsolete. Then, a really good space clearing with Tibetan bell thingies, a sage smudge stick & some gorgeous essential oils sprayed about. It’s symbolically clearing the way for new energy, ideas & prosperity in your life. At the very least, clean out some cupboard & re-zoosh your bed so the sheets reek of beautiful ylang-ylang.  Cleaning during the Dark Moon is always therapeutic. Oh and purple flowers to go with the Aquarius vibe, I reckon.
