Neptune is nearly Direct & for the next few days this means Neptune RULES: You could be drunk all the time but in kind of a happy, nebulous, creative and Neptunian way. Drunk writing poetry as opposed to drunk sending shitty texts to your ex or google-stalking or watching crap tv.

Dreams will be SO intense & lucid. I am sure you are all sick of me carrying on and ON about this but i am convinced – still – that keeping a dream diary is the most cost-effective and amazing form of psychic awareness possible. And that the more you consciously try to work with dreams, the more they communicate with you. Did I tell you my incredible Bast dream already?

Neptune energy may also be a bit vague so take care & realise that you may be super-sensitive & it’s Okay…Moon in Gemini, Saturn in Libra square Pluto makes for an interesting backdrop. I am going to do an extended Saturn-Pluto rant in the Daily Mystic for subscribers…

Lucid Moon Dreaming

Sunday night & no matter where you in the multiverse – there is still enough of the Neptune enhancement happening to have a fabulously High Functioning Flake Neptunian style night, a slightly lower Neptunian dipsomaniac episode or both!  Haute Neptune is you leaping into bed with the mugwort,  some crystals, sleep balm, lavender, head of bed freshly bunged in the right direction (but not North, not this year), Soul Restoration Serum bunged on your fizzog, some sexy whale music, those scary-in-the-morning Japanese detoxifying footsie pads & a Shamanic determination to journey through your past lives/astral travel or SOMETHING…

But, of course, the fresh feisty vibe of Mars arcing up in Leo and the New Moon in free-loving Libra could send some peeps out on a spontaneous primordial lower-Neptunian sex-ego-honouring binge. Not me. I’m doing the crystals etc. But I am sensing the vibe and it’s a good thing by utterly new mobile fone does not feature deets for any of the Aquarians. Mars in Leo with Moon-Venus in Libra could look in the mirror, wow him/herself out with how hot the hair looks, be amazed at how eloquent their skim-read of the newspaper has made them and decide to go trotting out for a quick go-see.

Note also; Saturn still in Virgo – till the 30th, those irksome details and your high-faluting scheme to deal with them won’t just drizzle away AND Mars is quincunxing Leo…sex & power-tripping behind the scenes for some.

SO YOU GET THE IDEA…You could be feeling a bit like this:

Venus Opposing Neptune…

September 14, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 35 comments

So, Venus is opposing Neptune for the next few days…It’s over the top, of course,  as Venus is in lovely Leo…Remember the Mercury Retro situation and be aware of the heightened potential for ego-driven delusions.  You could misjudge the degree of someone’s attraction to you. Or not…Magic can occur under such stars & maybe someone with feelings for you will find them hard to conceal. Then again, it’s a slippery bit of astro-weirding.

Venus Opposite Neptune is also a little bit of this:

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.

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.

Understanding Pisceans; The Short Version

February 21, 2009 in Astro-Cliches, Astro-Passages, New Moons by Mystic Medusa | 90 comments

Soon, it is a New Moon in Pisces – such bliss & it’s sextiled by Pluto. Note that says ’sextile’ – not squared, quincunxed or hideously eclipsed. Sextiles are cute & opportunistic. A New Moon in fave aspect to Pluto is ultra-auspicious for those peeps who are trying to evolve. Now, speaking of evolving and Pisceans…Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003.  This has made Pisceans even more individuated than they already were.

Think of it as Pisceans having become more Uranian…More intellectually detached, more fuq-u to the status quo if they feel like it. As Uranus is now at 22 degrees of Pisces, Pisceans born March 13 and onward are yet to enjoy their Uranian transit in full…

But they will this year and next, evolving at warp speed, reinventing themselves via the channelling of heaven-knows-what.

And, as I received several ‘w.t.f is it with Pisceans?’ style e-mails of late that i do not have time to respond to properly, i am going to give a very Short Version here.

Piscean go from this -

in about five seconds flat & they truly don’t feel even a nano-module of guilt over this. They see it as an asset, along with their supernatural ability to embellish nigh anything. What, you might ask, is the difference between a Piscean and a Gemini???  I think it’s prob that Pisceans are more sensitive and compassionate whereas Geminis are less likely to suddenly flip out because the Feng Shui in a restaurant is not quite right.

Biodynamics & Getting Drunk On The Full Moon

January 20, 2009 in Full Moons, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 26 comments

biodynamics

“My uncle’s lapses into insobriety had no vice about them, they were purely therapeutic. The fact is he was following a new regime for perfect health, much in vogue at that time, he assured us, on the Continent.

‘The aim is to warm up your glands with a series of jolts. The worst thing in the world for the body is to settle down and lead a quiet little life of regular habits; if you do that it soon resigns itself to old age and death. Shock your glands, force them to react, startle them back into youth, keep them on tip-toe so they never know what to expect next and they have to keep young and healthy to deal with all the surprises.’

Accordingly he ate in turns like Ghandi and like Henry VIII, went for ten mile walks or lay in bed all day, shivered in a cold bath or sweated in a hot one. Nothing in moderation. ‘It is also very important to get drunk now and then.’   Davey, however, was too much of a one for regular habits to be irregular other than regularly, so he always got drunk on the Full Moon. Having once been under the influence of Rudolph Steiner, he was still very conscious of the waxing and waning of the moon, and had, I believe, a vague idea that waxing and waning of the capacity of his stomach coincided with its periods.”
