An Aries Pep Talk

February 10, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 87 comments

This is Victoria Beckham – uber-Aries – apparently on her way to Milan “to comfort David Beckham who has been demoted to sub.”

I’m not sure about that. She looks ratty & remember that the Saturn-Pluto situation is annoying Aries too.  Plus have you ever been “comforted” by an Aries?

Whilst initially being quite moved by a damsel-in-distress scenario, once pair-bonded, Arieans go ape at signs of weakness. They excel at motivational pep talks but can be hideously insensitive. Mr Beckham, a Taurus, is probably holed up on his Zen-zoned couch, getting some rest before the “comfort” starts.

Are All Aries Women Macho?

Many of the Aries women i’ve known have been amazingly bossy but brilliant lithe little balls of optimism, sort of bouncing around and revving everyone up with rah-rah team spirit. When they fancied a man, they’d tackle it like a sporting event. Total candour. No gameplaying. Just ‘how about it?’ One I knew would even go and do chin-ups on the door frame to impress a guy she liked. Okay, she was young but still…

Aries is said to be the most masculine sign of all – Fire-Cardinal and ruled by Mars…In  ye olde astrology, there was an argument that being born an Aries somehow disadvantaged a woman, that she might be ‘unfeminine’. Obviously an awful lot of that is just sexist garbage & old-style thinking re what qualities (courage, assertiveness) are appropriate or not in a woman.

Still, i’m interested in your thoughts on Aries femmes please!

Astro-Compatibility: Aries & Libra

Miss Piggy is the Libran & Elton John the Aries

There is, at first, something enormously appealing about such a pairing. Aries is ruled by Mars – the ultra-masculine warlordly action planet & Libra by lovely Venus, the Goddess of love, sexual rapture and allure…also the Eternal Lover of Mars in mythology. Both love to debate & both a Cardinal Signs. They like to lead. At first Libra may easily succumb to the more overt leadership (a.k.a. bloody minded bossiness) and Ariesarchy but very quickly Aries realises that Libra just laughs that tinkly little simper and then goes onto do precisely as he/she wanted to do in the first place. Aries does not really flirt – if they want to conquer you, you will know all about it but they cannot be stuffed with innuendo, intrigue, lack of honesty and what they call game-playing. Libra lives for it & no matter how  happily pair-bonded, will have little ‘things’ going on…Flirting is one of the ways Librans enlighten every day life & besides, it’s sensible. Complimenting the bank teller on his tie is going to make him far more likely to cut a few corners on lovely one’s behalf. Aries considers this rank infidelity. Both believe in fairness. Aries loves poncing about with Trophy Libra. Libra loves Ramzilla’s guts but deplores their disdain for the art of euphemism. If Libra ever stops pandering to the ego-demands of Aries or Aries decides to resist Libra’s attempt to ‘terraform’ him/her, the game is up.

Mercurial Bats Alert – Retro-Mercury in Libra…

August 10, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 20 comments

A55312A telephone used only by Librans to talk to other Librans.

Mercury is soon to go Retrograde in LIBRA, a whimsical little astro-passage bound to make for interesting relationship quadruple entrendres, delicate gameplay & strange back and forthings in nigh everything.

It is, as always, not the time to sign contracts & you need to factor in an extra dimension of potential screw-ups for all arrangements.

But, apart from a few squares to Pluto which i will be dealing with (lol) in the Daily Mystic et al, this is a fairly benign bit of astro-weirding.

It will be – i think – excellent for random flirtations and Libran style synchronicity. There will be a certain charm to it, because it is Libra.

V.hard on impatient Arieans, Pluto-tripping Capricorns & Cancerians who prefer a more emotionally upfront version of communication.

Mercury Retrogrades on September 7 and is Direct on September 29.

Arieans Are A-Type Alpha Peeps…

July 26, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 42 comments

Daily Mirror

Arieans a la Victoria Beckham are A-Type Alpha Peeps…even when doing something so classically carefree and child-like as swinging. Note her perfect form, core locked in, shoulders back and down, grip on the swing ropes not so firm as to engage the incorrect muscles on her forearms, legs lengthened but without the knees locking, eyes straight ahead, big toe in line with her hip-bones and her chin aligned a la the dictates of Pilates.

Yes, they are often perplexed by the inability of others to be so athletic and on-trend as the Aries. It infuriates them. But in softer,  more mellow and tenderly self-reflective moments, an Aries will acknowledge his or her superiority and forgive the foibles of others who may NOT have been the school champion of everything.

Mars Void…Then Into Gemini

That sense of ease & that maybe it’s okay to kick back a tad is not just apres Eclipse. Nooo. It’s also to do with Mars being Void. That is, Mars is in the last degrees of Taurus and makes no major aspects before moving into Gemini on Sat Night (USA) Sunday Morning (UK) and early arvo (Australia.)

Mars rules assertion, anger, aggression, ambition, libido & courage. It’s what we need when we start new things, defend the weak and get a grip. Mars is narking off at a surly shop assistant a bit more intensely than intended as well as the discipline required to work  out effectively and see results. It’s sex drive and lust for life itself.

Arieans – who are Mars-ruled – should especialy hold back on any major action initiatives until Mars switches signs…Ditto Taurus & Gemini. It would not be bad, as such, just not ideal. Triple check yourself if you think you might be going O.T.T. with the force of your personality or demands.

But isn’t it lovely having that Fixed Square pressure (Mars in Taurus square Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron a.k.a. the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding) lifting a bit. Mars in Gemini is always fun – a lot of scattered Qi, games & dual motives. Don’t take it personally. Everyone’s gonna want multiple options & a light, glib touch.

Signs In Denial

cdtt_178He 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?

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour; Your Fave Fairytale?

WHAT is your favourite fairytale? Not the one that you think has the most Jungian resonance or that is officially cool but one that you LOVED…There is, of course, bound to be some psych-significance in your choice. Arieans & Saggos tend to love the quest stories, Librans & Pisceans the Sleeping Beauty awakened by Prince ones & Geminis the fairy tales that involve intricate tricks or beauty & the beast scenarios. Rapunzel totally gives me the merdes and I am not even sure why…My fave is The Ugly Duckling.

Baudelaire, the Madonna, Whore & Aries Men

April 9, 2009 in Astro In Books, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 82 comments

fleurIt is the birthday of Charles Baudelaire, author of the stupendously stunningly sensual Les Fleurs Du Mal, fave poet of goths et al.

He is Aries, of course, and thus cursed with a shocker of a Madonna-Whore complex, as Aries men so often are, poor things.

Baudelaire could go from writing stuff like this;

“Whether we are in darkness and alone,
or in the street and one among the crowd
her spirit dances like a torch held high,
saying; ‘By my beauty I command,
love only beauty for my sake – I am
the Guardian Angel, Madonna and the Muse.’

To THIS

“Daughter of darkness, slattern deity
rank with musk and nicotine, the spawn
of filthy covens or a shaman’s rite…”

I could quote Baudelaire for hours BUT tacky & bimbonic query of the day; Which Sun Sign Has The Most Overt Madonna-Whore Complex? And noooo I am not being sexist. Women can have one too, can’t they? I read the other day that IMS – Irritable Male Syndrome is actually to do with testosterone and far more prevalent than PMT.

Alert For Aries Only

Though Venus-in-Aries (from basically Feb until June – way longer than usual) makes other peeps over into being more like bolshie old you; it turns you into something akin to the cute, gorgeous little Spring lamb above. You’re going to be all sookie-goo-goo, more manipulative and craving for human connection than usual. You’ll take a more than Ariean interest in your appearance & scent (usually your sky-high confidence puts paid to any undue fussing) and enjoy the trappings of romance that would normally have you falling off your chair from fidgeting so hard. You may even fall in love again or experience some sort of personal little springtime of your emotions. Romantic complications that, at any other time, would have you in stunned extrapolations (because people ought to run their life as you do) may well suddenly resonate. Farewell Ramzilla, hello cute darling wee Lamb.
