A Sagittarius Trying To Be Inscrutable

Sagittarians, i.m.o. always seem to have the best legs of the Zodiac & infuriatingly effortlessly so. Though maybe it’s because they are so active & stride around the world doing athletic things. Not so effortless after all.

Geminis come 2nd as they tend to be able to keep a kind of gamine thing going on…Librans do well with legs too though that’s more of a diligence a la Pilates, massage & cream.

Virgoans are third-equal tie with Libra by dint of being able to bloody well stick with those no-caffeine-no-wheat-no-diary gorgeous legs reccies.

Legs tips please…I think probably the only thing i ever feel nostalgic about being really super-young is that spontaneously casually slithering into a mini-skirt and strutting out the door sensation. It’s heaven.

Leg tips; It totally hurts but doing the ’stretching out the ilio-tibial muscle on a roller’ seems to iron out dimples on the side of the legs & it’s like a good pain + amazing for suppleness.

I would adore to be convinced otherwise but i think cellulite creams don’t particularly work (?) apart from the aromatherapy oils with ingredients such as juniper & cypress.

Acupuncturists can get rid of little capillary-vein things & their cupping is amazing for “stagnant” qi in the legs. Rolfing, Myo-Fascial massage and other deep tissue stuff are all good…

And – i once read this in a (I think) Denise Linn book – any stubborn fat or cellulite on the thighs is stored anger re relationships in past lives.

O.m.g. So there is a really good batso mugwort-dreaming target for a quiet night. You go into your dreamworld, totally willing to confront and work through past life lovers who gave you the shits & you wake up with smooth thighs.

Yes! I am thinking that processed foods such as pastries are prob also a bit to blame.

An Aqua Moonwane applies now & through till early A.M. Sunday in the Southern Hemisphere/Saturday in the Northern World. It’s right this moment conjoining the North Node in Aquarius & then later, Neptune, Chiron & Jupiter. Intense hi-Qi meditation & awareness possibilities – fab for any kind of energy work from acupuncture to Feng Shui, Reiki, Homeopathy…Stupendous for dreaming. I’m going in hardcore with some Mugwort tea to enhance my nocturnal journeyings. Note; never ever do Mugwort if you have been drinking wine or similar substance. You can’t do High & Low Neptune at the same time!

And note that the Moon in Aquarius contacting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune also sets off the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding which intensifies in July (as a counterpoint to the Eclipse Madness) and climaxes in Feb 2010 as Chiron & Neptune make a relatively rare conjunction. Again, where-ever you have Aquarius in your chart is where you’ve just gotta be ultra-New-Age re everything; it will work beautifully if you can pull if off. And where-ever you have Virgo, you embrace a sort of insane work and details ethic, for best results.

Try-try TRY to do some dream-meditation style trip in the next few days…Epsom salts bath, lavender oil, mugwort or mint tea and a big pad or your Book of Shadows beside the bed to record the lurid/lucid resulting insights & images!

In fact, let’s have a dream comp – Thursday Night, no matter where you are  in the world, is SO powerful for dreamwork…

Astro-Housewitchery; Lavender

Lavender is so sensational & surely the ideal essential oil to have around anytime but especially to be more tranquil during a Dark Moon. Or you can tear sprigs off & put them in your pillowcase & this is the most amazing recipe for Lavender muffins.  Lavender comes from the Latin ‘lavandas’ – things to be washed, probably because Ancient Romans knew how fab & tranquility inducing it is to bung in with the laundry. It’s a.k.a Elf Leaf and Nard. As the latter, it is mentioned in the Song Of Solomon.

Lavender is a herb of of Mercury & Air. Mercury is Messenger of the Gods. It’s thus so appropriate that it is Lavender/Elf-Leaf that actually started modern aromatherapy. Rene Maurice Gattefosse was working in a perfume lab when he burned his hand and – intuitively or just in pain – plunged it into a beaker of pure lavender oil. The hand healed beautifully and voila; aromatherapy. All because of lovely lavender.

A few drops of the oil on your temples is ultra-calming & sprinkled on sheets if you’re restless at night, ditto. They say that asps – the snakes – like to sleep in lavender bushes, which makes me think of Cleopatra. Maybe the asp wasn’t in her bowl of fruit but actually in the lavender bought in for her bath? Only she would have called it Nard, of course.
