Trine & Dine

Is this picture how trines feel?

Okay Astro-Fiends…You know how there are “trine” aspects in your chart? These are said to be “good” or “easy” and “flowing”.  They are when planets are 120 degrees apart from one another. The so-called compatible signs are all in trine to one another. eg;  Aries trines Leo. Both Fire signs. But if you had a planet at 21 degrees in Aries and a planet at 21 degrees Leo, they would be trine.

You can go to Astrodienst & figure this out and then chat about it in the comments. The challenge is this. Find your CLOSEST trine. See how well those two planets work together. And how much easier you find the affairs of the House they are in. If you use the Extended Chart Options of Astrodienst, it comes up with a graph that shows you which planets make which aspect to what and how close their aspect is. You are looking for a triangle symbol – that means trine – and for a number below 4.

This is a fab way to learn Astrology! Later, we can investigate squares and see how the apparently most difficult aspect in your chart manifests compares to your trines…

So, find your closest trine. Think about whether this is something you take for granted or is it a blessing you give thanks for everyday? They say, btw, that your squares & oppositions, once buffed up operate more like lucky trines.

Eg; My closest trine is between Venus and Neptune. Venus is in Pisces, ruled by Neptune & it’s very close: Venus 22 Pisces and Neptune 19 Scorpio. This means i have a true love of art, poetry, wine, myth – all the Neptunian things, quite removed from any academic appreciation of them. It’s just diffuse adoration.

In love, i can be tres giving of course but Venus-Neptune gives on the ability to gaze upon a surly guy in the corner at the gym and bestow him with all sorts of magical qualities. He becomes a prince in exile under the magical gaze of Venus-Neptune. Venus Neptune in trine means you don’t have to try v.hard to be psychic but one has to beware nebulous, ill-defined situations & lower Neptunian scenarios that it’s all too easy to just sort of glide into.

What is your closest trine and is it working for you? An unexploited trine is a waste!

Feng Shui In December

Eight_lgeLucy Deslandes – Energy Magic

Monthly Flying Stars 7th December – 4th January

Monthly energies can be a trigger that may lead to an increase in certain types of experiences. If you spend long periods of time in an area such as working, sleeping or your entrance is located in a particular sector have a look below and see if you experience any of the issues mentioned below.  If so you may want to try a remedy and see if that helps to harmonise things.

SOUTH EAST – Arguing more? Problems with contracts? Some bright red here can work well such as a red vase or lamp. Don’t go overboard as we don’t want to activate any of your homes challenging energies.

SOUTH – Can’t find the perfect partner? Give the South sector a good clearing out and make the area as beautiful as possible. If your entrance is here you may find an improvement in opportunities to make money this month.

SOUTH WEST – Getting parking fines or having issues with authorities? Then give this area a good clutter clear.

WEST – Have you or your finances been sick more than usual this year? If you’re bedroom or main entrance is in the west that could be your problem. Place a brass calabash here as it will help to absorb this particular sickness energy. Given the monthly energy you may find a bit of reprieve in December.

NORTH WEST – The challenging 5 monthly star flies into the North West for December which could signify problems with the head or kidneys especially if your bedroom is here so placing the sound of metal here works well. This could be metal bells on a door or metallic ornaments.

NORTH – The energy in the north is challenging this year and the monthly energy feeds this so be careful if sleeping in this area of obstacles and general challenges. The sound of metal works well or a brass pagoda can be placed here.

NORTH EAST – Theft may be an issue so ensure your doors and windows are secure in this area of the house and a splash of red will help harmonise this energy.

EAST – Think before you speak – communication may be a problem and this is enhanced this month. If you find you are experience any digestive problems place a brass calabash in this area for the month of December

From Feng Shui Genius Elizabeth Wiggins

Important Note: These are monthly Feng Shui energies & this is general Feng Shui advice, without – obviously – taking into account your unique living situation.  Ideally, one has one’s house’s base Feng Shui done first.

Merry Moon In Virgo!

December 8, 2009 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 36 comments

treadmill-desk_yULmo_65It’’s probably just a Mars in Virgo thing but I actually WANT this contraption.

I think it would be good to have sidebars in case one got carried away gazing at the computer and forgot about the treadmill. It happens even with stupid television shows at the gym.

But isn’t it a brilliant idea?

And yes, the Moon IS in Virgo…

Don’t guilt yourself!  There is a difference between some productive analysis and a full on self-narking-off session. Worse would be if you tried it on someone else. SO not the day to send snarky memos or bitch it up about a perceived flaw.

Attention All Librans…How You Doing With Saturn?

December 4, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 94 comments

il_430xN.79899608Dear Libra,

Has it been but a few months since Saturn got into your sign?  Hey, no! It’s five weeks today. And you’ve only got it in your sign until…oh, never mind. Anyway, how has it been? Early-Librans – that is, the September born Libs – ought to notice it first and of course they are also copping the square to their Sun from Pluto.

So, is there a feeling of evolution? Phoenixing? Are you thinking of metaphors along the lines of how diamonds are only forged via intense pressure? Saturn goes Retrograde in Mid-January so there is a feeling of pressure-off then and even more so when he scoots back into Virgo in April. But Saturn is BACK in your sign from July and until Oct 2012.

As you may know, it’s the ultimate in get thy shit together astro-passages. And, btw,  you can search this site as there is loads of Saturn material. Remember the number one Saturn Rule…When-ever and where-ever Saturn is active, you need a plan. Saturn does not respond to law of attraction or creative visualisations.

So Librans and/or intimates of Librans, please share…

I only seem to know Libran men at the moment and THEY are working like fiends, on rigid schedules to manifest success & getting up earlier. They’re off le grog and on carefully calibrated nutritional regimes to even out their blood sugar etc. So they’re doing it by the Saturn book.

Share?  Oh and  note that the stressy Saturn-Pluto square of mid-Nov comes back in late Jan and again in August. The late January square is the kicker as we have Eclipse-Eclipse-Saturn-Pluto Square…So whatever growth action you thought a good idea in November, it’s good to action it a.s.a.p. and seriously, Santa is powerless in the face of Saturn.

Can you IMAGINE a Santa-Saturn dialogue?

SANTA: Ho, ho, ho.

SATURN: I do not tolerate the denigration of women through degrading nicknames. To whom are you referring?

SANTA: No, it’s how I laugh. I’m jolly.

SATURN: What do you have to laugh about? Have you had a trainer check out your hip to waist circumference lately? Have you ever heard of visceral fat?

SANTA: Lighten up Sir, t’is the season of goodwill…

SATURN: I fear you are mis-informed. T’is the season of Saturnalia and it always has been…You are not even a valid Christian archetype, let alone resonating with any of the older themes of this season.

SANTA: Ho, ho, ho – here,  have a candy stick…

SATURN: If  you bring those disgusting, artificially coloured, factory made sugar atrocities anywhere near me, there will be consequences.

Cue Saturn disappearing from mall in flash of thunder and lightening.

Happy Full Moon!

Happy Full Moon in Gemini-Uranus Direct-Venus into Saggo peeps!

And remember this, some of the urgency of the Full Moon et al fades with the next few days but the insights, ideas and conversations of the past few days are GOLDEN.

Astro-Fiends,

I was just thinking that you KNOW you are an Astro-Fiend when you don’t know anyone’s age but you think of them as pre-Saturn Return or pre-Pluto-Neptune (that happens age 25) or Uranus Oppositioning…About to have their Chiron Return. Etc.

Second Astro-Fiend Indicator is when you suddenly get an ‘aha’ moment re an astrological syndrome you never normally think of and it wows you out. Astrology IS Uranian. I mean, it’s ruled by Uranus so it’s not Neptunian like Reiki. Impulses and concepts flash in and out. It can be faddy. Like you can spend months tracking Lilith and then get over it.

So I tend to be a bit blase about my progressed chart but i had the most major health vibe the last few days – v.Saturnine and full on self-controlling etc – even though Saturn nowhere near anything significant. It was strong enough to be weirding me out. I mean, suddenly i can’t stand wheat, alcohol, sugar, alcohol, coffee or dairy. Am craving salads…If I could SELL this i would!

So finally i check out my progressed chart and voila: Progressed Saturn has moved from being in a really wide orb trine to Neptune in natal chart to it being EXACT now. It’s also exact trine Part of Fortune in health sector and exact opposite Pluto. So Saturn strengthens my Neptune & suddenly I can’t stand anything even remotely addictive. I mean, there are opiates in bread and cheese!

It’s totally made me more interested in what aspect IMPROVE via progressions.

Venus In Saggo!

Venus is in Sagittarius! I LOVE how the vibe seems already a lot less fraught. Venus in Saggo is take-it-or-leave-it so far as love goes. She values experience, the journey, the moment. There is a lover-in-every-port quality to Venus in Sagittarius. You can use this cycle to be a bit more breezy & candid in a relationship or about your love life in general. Relish freedom and/or honesty.

For her next act, Venus in Sagg is going to sextile Saturn

Venus To Saturn: Okay, Sagacious Hermit Dude, so you reckon me having an actual budget would enable me to better pursue my bliss, liberty and oh-my-god this amazingly insightful and YES, okay HOT guy who I’ve been e-mailing with about his raw food body building commune that you can only reach by speedboat and…Sorry Mr Saturn, WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY??”

It’s Venus and Saturn but a Sextile…so helpful…That’s later this week but active now. Slightly austere but good insights re love, beauty et al.

Then, later, there is the awesome Venus trine to Mars in Leo – this is mid-December’s opportunity for exhibitionists, pole-dancers and those nursing secret crushes to be more overt. A fab tonique for jaded couples as well.  My friend Aqua-Girl has been doing alarming stream of consciousness bitcherel re “monotonous monogamy” on her Facebook. Mars is going to be bang on her Moon for the Venus trine. She is seeking an occasion suitably risque enough.

Moving on, Venus in Saggo squares Uranus & sextiles the Auspicious Aqua Weirding. Around about then and with the Eclipse looming, it’s all gonna get a bit “if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with’ ish.

And a bit of a cosmic catalyst for moribund couplings.   I am just getting everyone massage or colonic (lol) vouchers this year so I don’t have to be oozing around department stores/malls with Mars retrograde and toxic couples going completely cuckoo at one another under the tinsel and with beady-eyed, hung-over Santas everywhere.

I nearly typed Saturns there. Not that Saturn would ever be at all beady-eyed or hungover. But it’s a good idea. Why can’t we – instead of out-dated Santas peddling sugar laden naff shit, have Saturns sitting around looking sleek and giving life-coaching tips? The Sun is in Capricorn from Dec 22 for fuq’s sake. SO apt.

Uranus Direct

Yes Uranus Stationing Direct operates like a super-bats Mercury Retrograde but think also of the mega insights.

The last few days and intensifying today/tonight/tomorrow should have been infested with breakthrough insights. That and the Full Moon make for a weird atmosphere but a damned good one if you’re open, lucid and into growth.

What I love about Uranus insights is that they are high, low and all over the place. And they sort of come with a sense of humour.  Pluto insights are heavy as hell & Neptunian insights lovely but often a bit nebulous. Let’s not revisit Saturn insights right now. But Uranians insights ZING in and you’re left with a smile on your face going WOW! Or FUQ! You know Uranus is at play when there is some  humour, synchronicity, wowing out and that Promethean spark feeling.

So who’s insighting with Uranus Direct???

D.I.Y. Astro – The House Of Hubris

May 6, 2009 in D.I.Y. Astro, Houses by Mystic Medusa | 36 comments

Bugs Bunny, Officially a Leo.

This one is FUN. As always with D.I.Y. Astro, you can whiz off to Astrodienst to generate a chart & check this out.

The house where you have LEO, ladies & gentleman, is where you have to shine, get trophies, be up yourself and have almost a teenagie & egomaniacal lust for life & sensation. It’s where you – DO admit – like a bit of drama & cannot bear things to be tatty nor naff. It’s your sector of bling & mirrors where, actually, it IS a bit of a performance but so what?!

Life is not allowed to be humdrum in the House of Hubris, soz, Leo & it’s also where you thrive on expressing a creative & playful attitude to the whole thing. Anyone attempting to guilt you in areas that pertain to the House of Love awakens your ire, turning you into a minotaur-style tower of outrage. You can’t dress down in the House of Leo. Shine or Abdicate.

Some examples; 7th House Leo goes for looks-looks-looks when it comes to partners & they’ll worry about the sanity etc later. 10th house Leo is a genius at self-promo & come alive when they’re on the telly. Has billboard fantasies. 3rd House Leo rehearses anecdotes & attempts to bignote siblings. 9th house Leo is ostenatatious traveller with “proper” luggage…never baggage. 8th House Leo – a PORN star?

And, this is heaven, whilst you’re figuring out your House of Hubris/Leo, note that action-planet Mars is going to be stimulating it non-stop from October 09 to June 2010….Eight months of egomanically fuelled passion & creation.

Martian Bats Confidential is now up – It is a sign by sign rave re how to max out the benefits of Mars in Leo for these eight months.
