Snakie Dionysus Day

March 17, 2010 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

Piscean Rachel Weisz being Snakie

So screw St Patrick and his stupid anti-Snake/anti-Pagan etc stance.  As far as I’m concerned, it’s Snake day & you don’t have to pretend to admire Saint Patrick just to indulge dipsomania.  March 17 to 20 are not only the very end of the Zodiac (final degrees of Pisces) – they are ancient feast days of Dionysus.  That’s right – the God of Wine himself. Why bother with the latter-day-foisted-upon-us-watered-down version when you can go straight to the source?

Ancient Snakie Talisman, symbol of continual transformation, wisdom and beauty…

Oh dear it has to be said. Mercury backed way up into the end of Virgo, within coo-ee of opposing Uranus AND quincunx Jupiter…It’s time to issue a Defcon 5 Drunk Dialling Alert…I also call it Tequila Texting, in honour of a Libran gentleman i know who once sent me what amounted to a short story via text msg. Call it what you will but be on guard against it this weekend. I’d like to think Moon in Capricorn will introduce some decorum to the scenario.

And whilst we are on this topic, two questions. Which Sign Is Most Prone To Drunk Dialling? And what’s been  YOUR most spectacular one? Mercury signs as well if you know them please.

Oh and I just checked – Asteroid Dionysus is approaching Venus. That clinches it. Lock up your phones!

Which Sign Would Like The Phantom Home Bar?

August 21, 2009 in Astro Gaga, Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

phpizdN9DAMYes! This is the Phantom Home Bar…

This must be the craziest bar ever. The semicircular Phantom Bar features four real ejection seats restored from an F-4 Phantom fighter jet. The bar itself is made from a restored engine cowling of a C-119 “Flying Boxcar” bomber. Handcrafted by a company called Phantom Works, each bar takes 1000 hours to create and restore.

Its stratospheric $225,000 price apparently isn’t quite enough for the four seats’ ejection jetpacks to remain intact, and that’s too bad, because a quick exit might come in handy when one of your bar guests gets too obnoxious for comfort…” From DVice

I took one look at this and thought Aries…And then I thought of L’Uomo Aries – self proclaimed Ultimate Player or whatever he is. A bar with ejection seats is SUCH a genius idea. Is thinking Aries men would like it a bit mean or ravingly accurate? If you had quarter of a million $ to spend and it HAD to be on a home bar – you were not allowed to blow it on solving famines or skincare – it HAS to be spent on a home bar,would you get the Phantom Bar with ejection seating? Or a differently themed one?  Cite your sign if commenting of COURSE.

Friday Night Kitchy Hoodoo

June 4, 2009 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 30 comments

bagshaw_t2Tom Bagshaw

La Luna in Scorpio, Venus Void and a Saturn squared Full Moon situation…It’s all sooo insight inducing but wow will Friday Night Work Drinks and/or dating sure be weirding in and out. There’s an element of wanting to be out there, poncing it about & a waxing Moon in Scorp will always flush out desires but the Saturn square keeps the awareness of limitations high. This could be really cool; fun tempered by sanity. Or it may manifest as something manic (skittish mutable squares) that warps into an over-pragmatic freak out and then back again. Unstable, nympho & spooky yet fantastic for divination & hi-Qi established love/lust.

Grace Jones – Taurus with Moon in Scorpio…& just had her 2nd saturn return

“Your acting’s a drag
It’s OK on TV cause you can turn it off
But don’t try me.”

Grace Jones: Taurus, With Moon in Scorpio…

“…Grace laughs and gestures at Brendan, who’s joined us, to give her one of his cigarettes. ‘You can’t smoke in here,’ he says. ‘Shut the door,’ she demands. ‘I’ll smoke out the window.’ The window actually gives out on to another part of the restaurant. Not that that is going to stop Grace. ‘What are they going to do? Arrest me? Put me in jail?’ The waiter comes in and gets even more crotchety, but Grace waves him away, declaring that it’s not a cigarette, it’s incense and could he fermez la porte when he leaves. She finishes off the bottle of red wine and orders a double sambuca. And things start going haywire. Grace notices the full moon, up above. ‘My moon is in Scorpio,’ she declares. ‘I’m feeling horny. Be careful.’ Brendan decides that she’s had enough of the interview….”

Hygeia & Wagonista

March 4, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Astro-Query, Full Moons, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 102 comments

hygeia

Right. Time to invoke Hygeia – the Greek Goddess of health, from whence we get the word hygiene. I know i have already said that weeks ago but this is for the benefit of those who may not know. Having raved on a bit re retro-Venus (ex-lovers) and Mars-Neptune (dipsomania) i went to the gym for the 2nd time in a day & ran straight into the Uranian, bunging on his perfect boyfriend act. Oh the exquisite what-ifs. So then got lured straight to pub by the Aries Bombshell who wanted to do feminist ranting. Now am doing Wagonista or maybe even The Arnie Diet & this Scorpio who e-mailed me is too!

Dear Mystic Medusa.

Shock horror, this double Scorp has a bit of a fondness (read weakness) for for delicious mind numbing alcohol.
I have a bit of a plan I have been working on to get on top of it all (I’m pretty ordinary with my astrology – but the list making could be an influence of my meticulous moon in Virgo?)  but any advice/ tips/ helpful astro currents that you could offer would be greatly appreciated

It is a five point daily plan Ive nutted out actually (five being symbolic, not that i’ve balanced them out elementally properly or anything though):

1. SOC (stream of consciousness) writing, getting the mind-junk out there…
2. 1 Hr Walk. Really does wonders, expands my world, changes my perception and possibly eats up fight/flight hormones from challenging day…
3. Yoga(ha!), meditation or relaxation. (at least attempting to) centre, become still, hear the inner voice…
4. Water – drink lots and lots, atleast 2L. My mind is less spaz with h20 added…
5. Create/ study – to distract and feed the soul…

Im thinking of things to do on a more esoteric level too. Mirror magic (self love), waxing/ dark moon firey banishments…

This could all possibly be null and void because Im celebrating buying my plane tickets to Peru with a last drink atm. But Im determined to get myself together so I’m fully present when I hike to Machu Picchu in September/October.

I hope you and yours are doing well,

Blessings
The Double Scorpio

Hmm. I know someone who did the first day of that with a terrible hangover and argued horribly with his boyfriend nearly the whole way. Okay well I am doing Wagonista too and frankly – the looming Full Moon, Mars-Neptune nonsense is a VERY good time to stay lucid. I mean, if i still had his number & had not altered my phone  number, i would have been with the Uranian last night. Lucidity is in.  Jupiter belting toward Neptune is also a full on for excess astro-signature. I mean, it is fab but very easy to go Over The Top with Neptunian substances.  My tip: Other than this being well timed, maybe move your bed into the health direction?? And  pray to Hygeia! Also amethyst is supposed to (somehow) support soberiety. Happy Wagonista!  I haven’t time to do the Arnie diet right now which is a pity as it is the most effective health regime EVER.

So if you want to go Wagonista with Double Scorpio and i – we will whinge and/or boast in the comments stream.

Oh and it ought to be easy for me as the Leo-Rising-Aquarian-Rugger-Stud is not really a big drinker. I know. It does not seem to go with being ex-league player. But they all very body conscious & Leo-Rising-Rugger-Stud is appalled by the kilojoules in grog. He & his ex-league mates are not metrosexual at ALL & indeed i know now a whole lot of terminology i did not know before but they swap ideas for salads, ensure they have lean protein every meal, freak out at trans-fats or even the ghee in indian food & give each other their best contacts for osteos, botox doctors, vitamin shots etc. Where-as the U could undo anyone’s diet scheme and thought being Wagonista some sort of insult to his bolshevik sensitivities.

OH and thingie. Milk Thistle. As liver tonic.
