Shamanic

March 16, 2010 in Astro-Animals, Astro-Cliches, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 37 comments

Shamanic EVERYTHING seems to be back in trend again.

I don’t really get it although i saw a Shaman a few years ago who did all this stuff and first I was lying there thinking more or less ‘what a load of crap’ as he was just waving around a sage stick and banging the Tibetan bells…Then i felt my chest tighten and he pulled this orb of blackness out from my belly. I saw it. And once it was gone, i felt immense relief and way lighter. It was weird, he was Native American and popped into the back of this strange little soap shop near me and then he was gone the next week.

And then once i had a dream SO weird that this Jungian astrologer friend of mine in the States said it was a Shamanic initiation. I dreamed/saw that a giant black raven got into bed with me and put his/her claw around my wrist and looked me in the eye. THAT was, of course, Neptune on my Ascendent. Always a fun transit for lucid/lurid dreaming.

But now everyone’s doing Shamanic stuff. I half expect to see a sign saying “Shamanic Tax Agent” soon or “Shamanic Dry Cleaners.”

Hands up who knows anything about Shamanic healing or who does it?

I just found this interesting looking Shamanic Astrology book that says, actually, each sign of the Zodiac has a spirit animal assigned to it – quite different from the trad astro symbol. What do you think of these?

Aries – Falcon

Taurus – Beaver

Gemini – Deer

Kataka/Cancer – Woodpecker

Leo – Salmon

Virgo – Brown Bear

Libra – Raven

Scorpio – Snake

Sagittarius – Owl

Capricorn – Snow Goose

Aquarius – Otter

Pisces – Wolf

I can just see Aquarius hitting the roof at being deemed Otter and immediately moving to form a new Shamanic cult in which they are the rare Fire Eagle or something. Not so sure that Woodpecker fits Cancerians either. Woodpeckers seem more Gemini, do they not? Thoughts?

Would A Real Taurus Wear The Taurus Vest?

March 15, 2010 in Astro-Fashion by Mystic Medusa | 42 comments

Would a real Taurus wear this truly Seventies retro Taurus-themed vest?

I think gimmicky vests like this are more the preserve of Gemini or Saggo…True Taureans are swathed in sensual fabrics and the only you’d notice from behind is their bottom. That’s not meant to be so rude as it sounds. But i don’t see Taurus as thinking about having anything decorative or a slogan on their back. Not even their own Bull symbol…Yes? No?

Spell Of Iron

March 15, 2010 in Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 38 comments

I felt the urge to get a Hematite bracelet in February – around about when i wanted an Ankh…something is up – and it’s always good to follow those callings…no?

Hematite is just iron oxide – I don’t think it’s even considered semi-precious, my bracelet cost just $25.  So it’s demi-precious or something. But it is magic.

Hematite was adored in Ancient Babylon and Egypt, where they used it to fend off curses & negative projections. If someone is thinking merde about you or wishing you ill, hematite is said to reflect it back. It’s credited with dragging out the emotional source of illness, being grounding and aiding in psychic powers.

Think of it for  help when you feel drained and for when you want, lol, an Iron Will.

It’s a very Saturn-Plutonic stone.

Mars In Leo: Late To The Set?

March 15, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 46 comments

Great Demons, reading an in-box full of grizzling with a crook neck ain’t easy.

I never said Mars Direct would deliver you your rose garden, studly soulmate, hand-crafted box with a million $$$ cash inside it and holy secret of enlightenment.

Noooo. But DO admit that there was some sort of shift last week, when Mars moved. I felt it. My neck felt it. And just watch how quickly things gather momentum as Mars picks up speed.

General notes on Mars in Leo: It’s a show-offy vibe. So if you’re making new plans, you don’t bother keeping them secret. You tell the world. Or if there is a good reason to keep them secret, you luridly relay all to your confidantes/court sychophants or you pace luridly about in a suitably Leonic scheming gown…

Things are happening, things are moving…rather than fretting up into such a frenzy that you wig out, do the oh-my-goddings great insights thing with the New Moon coming & compulsively groom your way out of any funk. And besides, Mars is not only still moving quite slowly – albeit forward – it’s Mars in LEO….Being sextiled by Saturn.

Do Leos move fast? Or do they take a long time to get ready? Does Saturn slow things down or speed them up? Things are happening, they will soon speed up and you’d better be ready! April is quite the ride.

Dark Moon Magic

Both Mercury and the Sun are moving toward Uranus, infusing this Dark Moon in Pisces with a peculiar magic. Pay attention to even the tiniest psychosomatic style twingings & if you want more intuitive awareness, it’s right there. Lately it’s felt people are splitting into two groups; magic and non-magic.

Sceptics are being blazingly full on about their beliefs & peeps whom I would not have thought magical have come out with some surprising admissions. Muggles and Non-Muggles, lol. This is the sort of astro-energy where things are SO obvious. People reveal themselves and all you have to do is note it.

Mercury-Sun-Uranus (and these all enhance the New Moon in Pisces) does not dwell, lingering to wallow in whatever the findings. It’s a Mabarosi moment…when the landscape is illuminated by a lightening flash for a nano-sek, showing everything. Use it to fuel your own fab fresh start with the New Moon…Until the Moon is New: Clarity – thank you – make the realization required and keep going.

Moon-Neptunian Dreaming

March 13, 2010 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 65 comments

Mia

The Moon near Neptune makes for beautiful dreaming & sacred shamanic sort of carry-on, if you can rouse yourself from the Dark Moon torpor. Perfect also for Tarot, meditation, steampunk, reverie a la music but only contemporary as this is an Aqua Moon, remember. Fab for science AND magic – weren’t they once one and the same? Haute Objectivity helps counter some of the crappier too-soon urges of newly direct Mars. Where-ever you can, hold back and stage a grand re-entry with the New Moon.

Saturn As My Life Coach

March 13, 2010 in Planets by Mystic Medusa | 24 comments

Robot Leggings by Dark Horse World

Saturn, my new life coach, has now seen to it that i have given up coffee – often intended and sort of tried but now essential as coffee apparently spazzes out Saturn Neck to a ludicrous degree.  So, no coffee. And no lurking around eating chips, drinking wine and discussing Jung either. Too many painkillers in system.

I am thinking that the point is to do the Saturn bit right (i should have had a proper chair for sitting at my desk typing but thought that a bit beneath me but now realize, thanks to the life coach, that it is GOOD to honour oneself and one’s work with a proper chair) and then you get to the cooler Uranus bit.

Yes, the Saturn-Uranus opposition is biting. It’s not exact until the end of April but I am calling it now.

The ideal: Uranian energy blasts away at frozen, Saturnine Status-Quo…Uranus vibes always come in sudden oh-my-godding moments of three…Saturnine energy creates a better base for the genius to thrive…Lots of change and endings all around – some exciting new beginnings too.

And THANK YOU For all the beautiful comments and posts re my Saturn Neck!  I hate whinging but it was such a help to read them all, truly…

Calling Upon Saturn Girl Powers

March 12, 2010 in Administrivia by Mystic Medusa | 23 comments

My Saturn Neck is still an issue – please see comments in below post – so light posting/slack answering of e-mails until i can type sans pain!!!

God I can SO feel Saturn blasting backwards into that Saturn-Uranus Opposition again..Feb/March last year, Oct/Nov and March/April…

I shall prevail by calling upon the powers of Saturn Girl…We can all do with some self-control & talented telepathy right now. And please don’t forget it’s the Dark Moon before a FANTASTIC Uranian enhanced New Moon next week!!!  The Dark Moon before a strong & beautiful New Moon like this one always feels a bit more draggy…

It’s all okay -pls be patient re my Saturn Neck situation.

Excuse Me?

Lady/Xena/Venus in Aries:  Excuse me. Dude haven’t you heard? Mars is Direct already?

Man/Mars in Leo: Om.  It’s not out of the Shadowzone yet, still picking up speed.

Astro-Gaga: The Ultimate Challenge

Oh ALL right, I am fibbing.

This is not the Ultimate Challenge. But you must admit that this gorgeous picture is even more ripe for Astro-Gaga than usual…non?

The prize for the best/funniest astrological interpretation of this scenario is a year’s subscription to the Daily Mystic. If you already have one, you can give to a friend and earn enormous cred for being both cosmic and generous.

My feeling is that they are all really pissed and yet bored. I am thinking that the set of legs parked on the pristine tablecloth belong to an aristocratic Leo or Libra (table setting? exfoliated limbs?) who has invited a bunch of Saggos around with the promise of work at her African “lodge” but now it turns out that she does not really “own” it “as such” and that there are a few “complications with paperwork”…what she really wants is for the Saggos to utilize their insanely over-hyped “media connections” to publicise Leo/Libra’s new range of  Vajazzle.

Thoughts?
