Astro-Poll: Which Sign Would You Really Rather NOT Go Camping With?

June 4, 2010 in Astro-Poll by Mystic Medusa | 143 comments

camping

I think Sagg would be the BEST sign to go camping with…Perpetually cheery, fab sense of direction and hard to phase.

Aries is also upbeat but wrecks it by wanting to pitch the tent on the highest peak visible and screaming ‘come on slackers’ at the fellow campers. But Aries will erect a sodding tent in the middle of a cyclone and heaven help any wild animal who gets between an Aries and a barbecue.

Taurus brings along one of those structured tents with carpets, ovens and a bar fridge. Which is great except it means Taurus requires staff and or “helpers.” There is also the risk of a fight when peeps with less salubrious facilities because they’re keeping-it-real try to sneak into Tent-Taurus for a quick toblerone cocktail. No-no-no.

Gemini & Pisces will have sat-nav, i-Pod and an internet connection for keeping in touch with where it’s at. They’ll talk a good game about being At One with nature and foraging for strange berries that they intend to make into ‘bush tucker’ but go totally off the whole idea about a third of the way into it. They need their fellow campers to be either great conversationalists or someone they fancy. They quite like it if they can hear the comforting sound of a busy road in the distance but will totally get out of any camping chores so that they can talk shit and go skinny-dipping.

Cancerians & Scorps will either not go at ALL or they will go in hardcore, with Swiss survival knives, special sleeping bags, manuals, a determination to actually hunt something/find treasure/walk 1000k in one day and probably some psych issues to work through. There will be deep chats around the fire at night and sensual appreciation of the stars, night-time noise etc. That’s even as Gem & Pisces lie gibbering in their tents, screaming at every squawk from an animal.

Leo & Libra will set out in the latest camping fashion, outdoorsy scents and with a muslin tent, thinking of Out Of Africa scenarios. Silver backed hairbrushes, 800 thread count organic sheets and bush-wattle body lotions are hard to lug around on long treks to camping grounds but they will do it. There may be a dramatic scene once either of them realises that the hard-core Scorp running the show is actually arcing up for a fistfight with the Aries, that there is a Pisces or Aquarius bitching because their tentmate won’t point the tent in the right direction for Feng Shui, due to the blizzard AND that there are no special dietary requirements taken into account.

Aquarius would want to to whacked out rituals, wildcrafting, nude bushwalking and maybe add the mental mushrooms they foraged into the Arieans barbecue. Virgo and Capricorn would not even GO on this trip without the perameters being carefully delineated and agreed on (legally binding) beforehand. It’s too unstructured…

A Quick Astrology Lesson – Neptune & the Nodes

June 2, 2010 in D.I.Y. Astro by Mystic Medusa | 94 comments

Tom Hintnaus

Peeps, pay attention up the back there!

This gentleman is Tom Hintnaus, an Olympian turned underwear model, obviously.

He is an Aquarius.

He is also an interesting illustration, so to speak, of Neptune and the Nodes.

The North Node is one’s destiny in ‘this life’ and going toward it tends to be beneficial, as opposed to hanging out with the people and themes associated with your South Node. I will do a more full-on Nodes rave later.

But when you have an Outer Planet (Saturn, Neptune, Pluto or Uranus) on the North Node, you intersect with society in some major way.

Tom H has Jupiter and Neptune right on his North Node in Scorpio.

Neptune is film, photography, glamour, myth, dreams and illusion…all sorts of things. Jupiter just hypes whatever it touches.

Neptune-North Node in Scorpio (sex) totally fits someone whose iconic image set off a new era/style of photography, gay aesthetic, advertising and the archetype of masculine beauty.

According to the Wiki , American Photo magazine named this image as one of “Ten Pictures That Changed America.”

Sun Sign Survey: What Sign Was Your Weirdest Flatmate?!

May 29, 2010 in Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius, Sun Sign Survey by Mystic Medusa | 139 comments

AM sorting out the archives and this is SO FUN I think I am going to bung it right here, right now – Because not all of us have shared…YET.

YOUR WEIRDEST FLATMATE WAS WHAT SIGN?! Or housemate/roomate, whatever?

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.

Alarmingly athletic, leggy, toothy, tanned and super-candid to a point that stunned people. She spent all 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.

Much older bearded Gestalt therapist and frequenter of workshops. Recently divorced and the part-time parent of two daughters, he populated his house with teenage student flatmates a la 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...

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 ways. 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.

A Cocktail Called Scorpio

May 26, 2010 in Astro-Passages, Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

Gin, Rum, Brandy, Almond Syrup with a white wine floater and set the baby volcano in the middle aflame – the Scorpion Bowl seems Scorpionic enough. I mean, what else could you add to it? Nitro-glycerine? Powdered newt eyes? Yick. Has anyone ever had one? I think actual real-life Scorps, if they drink liquor, would only go for Martinis. Yes?

Alcohol, cocktails and all other escapist substances are under the domain of Neptune. I always notice that when Neptune is strong in the skies, there is a general dipso vibe around and it suddenly seems like nearly everyone I know is out on the razz..even the quiet ones more usually found at home being abstemious, composing something or doing Neanderthin.

If you’re right at the end of Aquarius – Feb 16 onward – or at the start of Pisces, then Neptune is bang on your Sun right now and for the next year or so…Notice anything different? Visions, surreal dreams, the desire/ability to find God/Goddess at the bottom of the glass, suffused with spiritual or soulmating yearnings, memories of Atlantis, sensitivity to substances, adoration of scent and aura-reading acumen.

Lady Godiva…What Sign?

April 9, 2010 in Astro Gaga by Mystic Medusa | 35 comments

Edward Leighton

This is an artist’s depiction of Lady Godiva, and I am guessing she is portrayed right at the MOMENT she is thinking ‘fuq it’ and deciding to ride naked around the streets of her city, to protest hubby’s harsh taxation laws.

His name is Leofric. History does not reveal either of their birthdates. But I am thinking that Godiva is a Saggo – given to public displays of protest, love of nudity and ability to ride. And Leofric – look at him – is a Taurus.

Thoughts? Come on, you KNOW Lady Godiva just HAD to be a Saggo? Aquarius also likes to protest things but would recoil at public nudity I fear. A Pisces who has just hit upon the perfect excuse to ride past nude past the house of the knight she fancies? Whatever, from this picture, it looks like he is thinking he wishes he’d listened to his haruspex and married the Capricorn armour couterier down the road.

Beguilted

March 25, 2010 in Uncategorized by Mystic Medusa | 41 comments

I have a new word.

And I think it will take off.

Beguilted. Do you like???

It happened whilst trying to type “beguiled” with Tesla (new Aquarius she-kitten) jumping all over the desk.

I am not sure precisely in what context ‘beguilted’ can be used but I am sure you can think of some and if it were a movie who would it star?

Do All Aquarians Hate Micky Mouse?

March 19, 2010 in Uncategorized by Mystic Medusa | 59 comments

Every Aquarian I have ever known has – at the very least – an intense dislike of Micky Mouse. Why? Their reasons vary.

Now I have just read a New York Times interview with the very Aquarius Kenneth Anger (avant-garde film maker, occultist, author of Hollywood Babylon) in which HE denounces Micky Mouse:

“…The thing is I view Mickey Mouse as a kind of demonic figure. It’s a little sprite or imp. I disdainfully reject the latest incarnation of Mickey Mouse, which just is a monstrosity. This pink-faced Mickey that they’ve tried to turn it into a little boy wearing some kind of mask or ears or something, trying to humanize it. He’s lost all of his mischievous, devilish qualities. He’s sort of the ceremonial doorman at Disneyland or Disneyworld. Mickey Mouse is a little creature you can hold in the palm of your hand. Nothing like the poor, suffering, underpaid teenagers who are inside those costumes. I’ve talked to some of them through the mouth of their costumes. I go there on a hot day and they’re sweating like swine. It’s torture!…”

If it helps: Micky Mouse is a Taurus.

But still…demonic?

Two things: Hollywood Babylon was such an influential book. It’s style influenced celebrity coverage today & did it way before the net.

So, do Aquarians share a dislike of The Mouse?

Dark Moon Weirding

February 9, 2010 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 30 comments

Exclamation Mark

Yes it’s weird at the moment as there is all this fabulous, magical activity & eureka moments crackling away in Aquarius.

But it’s still the Dark Moon so there is a tides-out sensation with energy & emotions. Don’t do the gloom but do do the requisite Dark Moon rest-up & the Moon is new again Saturday night in America, early Sunday morning in the UK and in the afternoon in Australia.

That’s when the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding will really get going. Remember, it’s a New Moon near to the amazing (and rare) Chiron-Neptune conjunction: brilliant breakthroughs and sudden (positive) changes. Get with it but rejuvenate now.

Oh and there’s a sexy Venus-Pluto sextile next week as well. You may as well restore your glow along with your sanity. And big changes you’re pondering or already doing are enduring – no need to rush it all now.

Lucky, LUCKY Aqua

February 4, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 43 comments

Lucky, lucky Aqua. If you’re an Aquarius born in the last degrees of the sign – say Feb 14 to the end of Aquarius – you’re so in the rays of Fortuna. Chiron and Neptune are forming a rare conjunction at 26 degrees of Aquarius.

It’s been nearly happening since last May and is linked back into events & emotions from the very start of 2009. You could say it’s the cure what ailed us most in the middle of 2007 and where EVER you have 26 degrees of Aquarius in your personal chart is mega-blessed for all of Feb. So, work it.

And yes, anything at 26 degrees links into this Auspicious Aqua Weirding and the whole “House” 26 degrees of Aquarius is in feels more revved up in magical ways. It’s enchanted and visionary energy. Yes, Saturn will be back – with oomph – in April so you want to make the most of this excellent energy.

Look for Aquarians gloating & gleefully enacting batso projects that suddenly seem so smart. Actually, Aqua-Peeps never gloat. But they can drop you pronto because all of a sudden your Qi doesn’t mesh with theirs. You’re just not dimensional enough.
