This is more or less what my bum is going to look like when my interminable Saturn transit is finally done with in a few months. It feels like it has been going on forever but is actually only a few months. Saturn transits feel all-work and no-play (because they ARE, lol) but Holy Aphrodite, they get results.

There is NO other transit that makes you crave rocket, exercise and the measuring of everything from waist dimensions to unnecessary bank fees. Imagine if we could put Saturn in a bottle. Who wants to design the label?

It has to have the benefits: “Perform squats and lunges with relish, love your greens, loathe crisps, look forward to budgeting” as well as the Saturn side-effects: “irritability, some loss of sense of humour, over-consciousness of time.”

Who else is Saturn transitting? Enough peeps to create a secret password-only section where we can gleefully crap on about our sexy spreadsheeting skills and how much sexier rocket is without any ghastly “gourmet” additives that only cost $ and precious kilojoules? Bona-fide Capricorns get a lifelong membership. Because they’re ALWAYS under the rays of Saturn.

Saturn is also – I think – why so many Capricorns are horny non-stop. It’s because sex is (often) free. And it burns kilojoules.

This pic above, strikes me as mega-Leo. He’s trying to look in the mirror without straining his neck or getting out of alignment. But his laces like that is Piscean…Actually, a Leo wouldn’t go to a frills-free gym like that.

Anyway, I just got an e-mail from a Leo ( a guy) and this is what it said…


“Got so distracted by fab fresh new haircut in the work bathroom mirror I almost pissed in the sink…”


The Moon is in Virgo – trining Pluto – and now it’s time to get a grip. Yes. The Full Moon Eclipse stirred up all sorts of crap & we’ve got until Mercury goes Direct with the New Moon in hardcore, pragmatic Capricorn mid-month to revise & reshape our personal story BUT with the Virgo Moon & Retro-Mars you get a grip fast via working it out at the gym, sweating & even that age-old Virgoan refrain to “hysteria” – “maybe it’s just that your blood sugar is a bit imbalanced…”

Seriously, chill the fuq out, get strong, untox (detox is v.last decade isn’t it?) eat clean, do sensible old-school stuff to get your grip back & if you can’t bear that, consider the genius of microfibre cleaning gloves.

Learn to love the Moon in Virgo for it will render you and your surroundings gleaming.

Also, in the background & this is going to be addressed more in the Daily Mystic & Daily Scopes, we have Saturn moving back into a square with Pluto. Think restructuring. So yes, that Eclipse did a bit of muckraking & i am sure you now know of any murky areas in  your psyche/relationships et al. But Saturn Pluto is major revamping energy. So whether it’s painting some grotty old wall, throwing out grot, de-grotting your mind of merde thoughts, ungrotting your attitudes or shedding grot in the form of stored Chrissy carbs around your hips that will only hamper your fabulousity – you get the vibe.

And here whizzes the Moon into Saggo…!  It’s so rad! And Venus is trining the ruler of Saggo, Jupiter. They are going to be insufferable. But if you need to seduce one – or get him/her onside for a scheme, even – go find one. They are the Yes-People du jour. Plus the Moon in Saggo is trined by Mars. It’s a big Fire-signed few days of hotness, daring and radical candour.

Though i’d beware of telling Leos they look ‘tired’ because they’ll think you mean ‘gaunt’ or ‘well’ because they will interpet it as ‘fat’. Don’t tell Leos a THING so long as Mars is in their sign. Just nod in awe-struck admiration and give them all your money without them having to actually ask for it. Sagg Moon is also restless, outdoorsy & prone to mouthing off a bit. Okay, a lot. Schedule in physical activity/outdoor something or prep to go noisily bats.

Mars is in Leo until  next JUNE so is it time for the Arnie Diet???  It’s extreme but highly effective and life-altering.

Every day; you have to have ten orgasms and do four hours of working out. That’s it. Eat and drink whatever the hell you feel like apart from junk food. Nothing in a packet.  It doesn’t  matter if some of the orgasms are D.I.Y. but you have to have ten.

Apparently there is only ONE person who is known to have lived this lifestyle and that was Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 70s. He is a Leo with Mars in Leo.

My friend Aqua-Girl was really amazed the other night (and she is reasonably  unshockable) when i said i did not have scales. SHE has a full body scan fat monitor device that measures bone density, fat percentage, metabolic age, weight and a whole pile of other things. It is basically a computer in her bathroom and the technology is such that it would have been impossible a few years ago. It can wirelessly send info to her scheduler online, instruct her in how many kilojoules she requires that day & talk to her heart  monitor wristwatch.

I asked, for a joke, if it could connect with her Lucid Dreaming REM Goggles & she looked instantly alert & then made several notes in her iPhone (which also connects with the Heart Monitor & bathroom bone scanner) which i presume have something to do with her intent to somehow hot-wire the lucid dreaming goggles up to the other Personal Wellness Devices.

Oh and while we are on gadgets, she also has some brand of Swedish personal massager (am not going to see V word in case get blocked by some peeps with work browser thingies) that is so technologically advanced that it bought her to tears (of joy) the first time she used it. Aqua-Girl IS a multiple-Conjunct Aquarius – Sun, Mercury, Venus and Ascendent all trined by Pluto in Libra. But still…is this an Aquarian thing?

Am reading this fascinating book…Obviously i love Feng Shui & Acupuncture -both work with enhancing Qi, one in the home & one in your body/soul matrix – but this is making me re-think Tai Chi. It used to always bore me. Does anyone practice Tai Chi or Qi-Gong???  Of course Qi is just the Chinese word for it. It’s also Prana & vital force…loads of different terms for It.

“Even now the stars, the planets, the elements, the creatures and ourselves; all of these move within and are penetrated and influenced by that original field of Qi. Qi is what causes the planets to maintain their orbits around the sun. It is the Qi that causes each snowflake to be unique and the Qi that shifts the moon  phases and the tides. Qi sustains our health and Qi si the force behind intelligence and emotions. Qi is the vitality that causes the evolution of a tiny embyro of dividing cells to mature into a full size human. The longing of the Qi of the earth to reach up and merge with the Qi of heaven drives a small sprout out of the seed  – upaward in spite of the force of gravity-to become a giant tree. Qi is known from the expressions that it embodies: the process of healing, the creativity that generates poetry and art; the transformation of tadpoles into frogs and caterpilars into butterflies. Qi is life force, energy and consciousness – it is the essence behind all effects, influences and events as well as all elements, materials and objects.”

So, basically, it is magic – no?

Everyone knows that you gotta swim, do gym, do something. Different signs have different methods of motivating themselves…Aries are naturally insanely competitive so they like an impossible goal. eg; They are in training to sprint up the Amundsen Glacier.

Leos work on vanity. If there is a television appearance or an event in which they need to be camera-ready, goodbye to their Wine-Onanist Monthly membership & HELLO Dr Atkins. They don’t care if their breath gets smelly as their bodyguards will keep other peeps at a distance. Theoretically.

Geminis like gimmicks so if it’s a Cycle class with simulated anti-gravity & new beats by some dj they gather is current, they’re there.

Taureans do it with dogged and implacable willpower, knowing that the tranquility and the high they get later is worth it. Exercise grounds them.  Librans think symmetry and balance, yin and yang. Too much Yin (potatoes, couch) means they need Yang (movement, gym). They are naturals at Pilates…

Cancerians like body building because it helps them build a symbolic ’shell’ around their sensitive innards & they like to feel they belong at their place of exercise. So they feel emotionally drawn to it, at best. Virgoans guilt themselves into it. If you think a Virgo is mean to YOU, you should hear their self-talk.

Scorpios and Aquarians are similar in that they go between obsessive fads – they are either doing nothing & will crap on about the community-building benefits of their daily pub-lunch, if you let them OR they’re compulsively keeping kilojoule journals and ordering longevity vitamins from Dr Thing off the net.

Capricorns are canny, as we know, so they are the most likely to have a sensible and coherent actual plan – nothing over the top but a scheme to keep their physique chic & functional as they climb inextricably to the top. Sagittarians are the peeps u see working out in their jeans, because they were just passing by and suddenly felt like a bit of a workout – they’re the naturals of the Zodiac, fighting, rowing,  horseriding, tribal dancing – they like to move.

Pisceans need a gym crush to get themselves there or else they trick themselves- saying they will just turn up and worry about it then. Once there, of course, they think they may as well do a proper workout. They also like the idea of racking up “credits” for later hypothetical decadence.

You can also read through these & apply it to your Mars sign OR disagree!

It’s funny but people go ON and ON about the Leonic Madonna’s determination to look ever-young & stay, you know, relevant. But what about the way-older Leo Mick Jagger??? He’s been a fitness-fiend, vitamin vampire puller of young things for yonks longer than Madonna. Does anyone really bitch it up re him??  Seriously, is it sexism? Leos can’t help it. It’s who they are. Jagger has the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto, Lilith, Mercury, North Node and Part of Fortune all together in Leo – he’s a mega-multiple conjunct Leo. I reckon he would have suffered dreadful Hair Jealousy of Jerry Hall.

Also re Leos – i think there are two broad types; one is the Bon Vivant Leo, who cares not so much for vanity or the appearance of youth but likes to Live-it-up indefinitely. So they may get fat but it will be gourmet fat. And plumpness from fine restaurant pig-outs IS actually diff from fast-food binge fat. I think maybe as the complexion stays reasonable? Then there is Vanity-Leo who will do any diet, any exercise ritual – what-ever it takes – to stay at what he/she considers their peak. The word “decline” is simply not a valid concept to them.

Popeye_imagePopeye is SO a Capricorn!

He made his entry into a pre-existing (for ten years) cartoon on January 17 1929, playing a bit part. But – tres Capricorn- he was so successful that he became the star & driving force of the whole thing. Consider the guys’ Capricorn indicators: Muscular, born in a typhoon (Capricorns often have odd birth stories) devotion to proper eating (spinach, albeit usually canned but that may be  his generation) and exercise (lifts weights) hard-working, can be grim-looking in repose, loyal to his wife even though she often unaffectionate to him, versatile, difficult upbringing & relationship with father especially troubled, resourceful and never gives up.
