“You know I don’t usually like to tell people what I’m doing, but I am talking to a couple of car companies about possibly being the voice of their GPS system. I think it would be good if you’re looking for directions, and you heard my voice, saying something like, ‘Left at the next street. No, right. You know what? Just go straight.’ I probably shouldn’t do it because whichever way I go, I always end up at one place – on Lonely Avenue. Luckily I’m not totally alone. Ray Charles beat me there.”

Gemini to the Max – Bob Dylan, on his radio show.

Honestly, you are never alone if you are a Gemini.

And…just so as you know, Venus in Leo is not just brazen posing, makeovers, too much champagne, power scents, big hair, love letters left under the pillow at midnight with crushed gardenia & grandiose gestures or actually being bothered to go out and stalk someone in person (with the right outfit/hair/make-up) instead of just idle google-stalking…

No. It is also SERIOUSLY honouring your art. So T.F. what if you trashed your lovers atelier trying to come up with the Concept, crashed your girlfriend’s stupid book club or had to stay up three  nights in a row and all THAT entailed because it is all totally about the art dude. And with Pluto stationing direct bringing the most ferocious psych insights, one has to work them out via Art.

And everyone knows that artists have rad hair, drink a lot and enjoy non-trad love lives.

THIS, ladies & gentleman, is another aspect of Venus in Leo…

I don’t mean the signs most likely to go ape in general – though they do say Aquarians are most likely to occupy extreme ends of the bell curve between genius and bonkers-ness – but the signs most likely to go ape with this Mars-Pluto-Mercury T-square now forming…Well, the four cardinal signs ought not to be messed with in the next few days. Cross the road or duck into a shop – ANY SHOP  WILL DO – if you see our Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn coming.

Yes of course this could all be fabulously brilliant and cathartic – watch for bust-ups that are  most likely overdue, stunning new initiatives, great ideas/expectations & positive assertive efforts. And yes it’s regenerative. I’m still not going to provoke (ie; converse with) anyone of the above signs or whom is officially “difficult” & i am postponing requests/negotiations et al until Thurs or even better Friday. That way, I am hopefully not part of peeps perceived problem.

Oh and Mars conjoined Pluto at the end of 2008 so ’structures’ and relationships formed then are ‘tested’ now…How authentic are they?

This gentleman is James Goldstein – billionaire, ardent basketball fan & fashion follower. He’s also, if you go by the ‘friends’ section of his website linked to above, a modelizer. Or does that just come via his fashionista status? His Beverly Hills house is famously fantastic & infuriatingly, all i know about his astro is that he is born in 1943.  He came by his billions via mysterious means, he gives himself  over to passionate crazes & vibes kinda Piscean but his site screams Leo. I dunno if a Pisces would be comfy with that many pictures of themselves around. Unless they were Liz Taylor. So, thoughts re his sign please and whether or not you would date him. As with our Finding-My-Goddess-Guy, i highly recommend you look at Mr Goldstein’s site before commenting. I was thinking it would be amusing to suggested to Find-A-Goddess-Guy (did we finally establish he a Gemini?) that Mr Goldstein back his Global Planetary Brilliant & Visionary Television Vision but I fear Goldstein would incinerate him with one scathing glance in a nano.

You know the Libran Moon drill – diplomacy.

See no, hear no, speak no E.

And it’s worth doing the groundwork toward a more peaceful existence now, as once the Moon gets into Scorpio it kicks off the Mars-Pluto opposition now-building but exact later in the week. Full lecture re this in the Daily Mystic but essentially, keep thy temper, don’t go picking fights unless you’re totally armed & ready and find  positive uses for this potentially rad/regenerative astro vibe.

Love the Libran Moon in the meantime – be moisturised, hydrated, even of temper and deflect all idiots with good manners where poss. Monthly Horoscopes updated tonight. And – this is ridiculous – i was thinking of the astrology for a month ahead so forgot that Venus was trine Uranus this weekend; I got the Uranian turning up and a sudden outbreak of extreme flirting with the Organic Piscean. The U tried every trick in the book but i realised i was over him – thankfully, with Venus aspecting Uranus, such realisations bear not even a tint of melancholy.

And my friend Aqua-Girl actually went and ordered The Singularity guy’s book that was on the blog back in June. Apparently the actual diet (life extension etc) will “re-programme” your DNA. So fairly extreme. We were discussing it whilst eating strawberry shortcake and drinking wine at a pub bistro, as you do. She’s off the polyphasic sleep cycling & her Venus-Uranus moment du jour was discovering her quite-a-bit-younger nanophysicist student lover is actually immensely wealthy. Plus the Scorpio Sex Academic met a hot fireman named Trevor, Cancerian.

So i am calling this Virgo Moon – now and Saturday no matter where you are in the world – our 2nd chance Moon. Oh you may have strayed from the path of righteousness and that new nutritional regime is but a haute concept BUT this is the lunar vibe of spick, span and seriously on-track for all your Better Living schemes. Health, Efficiency and devising clever new routines for everything from skincare to taxes are YOU. Enjoy the 2nd Chance Moon….

And if you are in the Northern Territory of Australia, I will be on their ABC Radio this morning, raving on for a whole hour! Apparently I even get to do talkback which i LOVE.

The Mars-Uranus bingle should go a long way toward off-setting the Cancerian Dark Moonie tendency toward Flash-Nostalgia – we’ll all be too wired to go yearning over yester-century but here it is anyway; the combo of today’s Moonwane in the sign of kataka and the fantasia kick from Neptune could cause the most intense & potentially NAFF nostalgia.  Just don’t go letting it affect your actual forward planning. Just don’t go shopping, trying to contact Mr/Mrs Yestercentury.

I did by mistake. My son put a really old sim card in my new mobile fone & i went and texted a whole lot of ye olde peeps my new number. Infuriating. He has Mercury-Mars-Jupiter in Leo/3rd house so he felt this was like a creative & helpful thing that he was deigning to do for me. So I have had some nostalgia forced upon me. And my new mobile is also signed up to some job-search service so i get texts every hour or so telling me to be in some weird place for an interview to drive a forklift. When i try to respond to say ‘wrong number’ the a fone-bot texts back telling me it’s forbidden to respond & that i have to contact my ‘handler’ or something.

All this sounds like…yes…Mercury Retrograde. It is not retrograde until September 7 but it has just reached it’s shadowzone & the fact i’m already copping Mercurial Bats crap means it’s going to be a goodie!  What is the shadowzone???  Okay, Mercury goes Retrograde on September 7 at six degrees of Libra. It then retrogrades all the way back to 21 degrees of Virgo before going direct again. Mercury is at 21 degrees of Virgo NOW so even though it’s not retrograde, it’s entered the zone. Mercury Retrograde purists don’t count it as being out of shadowzone  until it returns – again – to six degrees of Libra.

So beware flash nostalgia, communications screw-ups and temper tantrums.

People do love to hark at themes of violence & earthquakes when Mars squares Uranus & it’s true that it’s NOT a good time to be reckless, provoke angry or insane types nor indulge batty impulses…To be true, it is associated with civil  unrest & strange news events.

But the positive side of this is that it is ENORMOUSLY creative & emancipating – give and take s-loads of space to do what thou wilt. If you are actively trying to work with the Saturn-Uranus opposition (next swipe of it is mid-Sept) then Mars-Uranus can be a good antidote to Saturn in Virgo. Administrivia MAY send you mental (more mental than Saturn in Virgo has already sent you) but you can come up with genius new solutions to free up more time/money/space/sanity for yourself IF you obey the basic warnings for Mars-Uranus a la above.

Go with your hare-brained ideas & where I am it feels like SPRING. I don’t care if it’s unseasonal, early or even caused by a sinister weather pattern – there is warmth, sunshine & a jasmine infused breeze wafting in my window…heaven…

Note: Mars is the action planet, warlord and god of aggression but lover of Venus. Mars is libido, ambition, energy, Qi & maybe anger. Uranus is more like the mythological Prometheus than the Uranus of legend. Long story as to how THAT came to be. But think Prometheus who stole Fire from the gods to give to humans. Think radical inspiration and a liberated mind. A square is a challenge or potential clash. So hothead Mars challenging Uranus-Prometheus need not be bad at all – but you FEEL where you’re constricted & Mars is always one for an escape bid. That Saturn is involved too is the bind…You have to diligently create a new set-up and/or obey some form of convention…

What’s awesome about this; It’s in mutable signs so fast chance is possible, great if you’re initiating it.  Lol i meant to type ‘change’ where i just typed ‘chance’ but i like the sound of ‘fast chance’ so will leave in my Freudian.

Saturn…such a Spunk! Who knew? Maybe i should change my description of him to “time-stud Saturn…”????  Would that mean he’d leave off for half an hour?  Saturn opposite Venus is up there with Saturn square Moon. Hard Saturn aspects (squares, oppositions) to squishy planets/Moon are tricky.  Whereas Saturn & Mars (sort of) can get along. I mention that because Mars is now squaring Saturn until next Tuesday…

I was actually trying to find a really cool pic of Saturn and Mars together. Or, as the Greeks say, Chronos and Ares…but there aren’t any…I think they would have mostly communicated by interpreter.

Mars: We go now and we go in hard.

Saturn: Shut up, clean your house, floss your teeth and it’s great that you can do  a thousand chin ups but have you had a shower today? Would it kill you to polish your armour?

Mars: Fuq that shit man, go hard or go home. Ain’t nobody disses with me and I am gonna…W.T.F?

Saturn: Do you have a strategy? The horse of enthusiasm requires the bridle of sobriety and…

Mars: Fuq yeah! My strategy is to hit ‘em hard. Semper Fi and to the brink dude. We’ll have a drink after the fight, you and me, you will…

You get the idea. Anyway I could not find a pic of them together though i now know that an awful lot of wizardy-computer-roleplay game thingies love Saturn/Chronos as a character & so do heavy metal bands. Would you want a guitar shaped like a scythe? Me neither.

Chronos is also where we get the words chronometer, chronological and crone…IN case you did not know.  BTW, the Piscean Moon – for most of the weekend – is often a fab one for dipsomania but don’t forget Monday morning is hardcore Mars-Saturn. ie; you will want to be up early, clean, gleaming, alert & liver-toned.

Who likes Time-Stud Saturn???
