Chez Mickey Rourke

February 2, 2010 in Astro-Decor by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

I’m sick of trying to even THINK about Mickey Rourke’s astrology.

The man has about three majorly different birth years out there in the culture. But he is definitely a Virgo. So, yes. And here is  his apartment in New York, courtesy of Architectural Digest.

That thing on the mantelpiece is “an 18th Century Bishop’s Head.” So okay, I am PRESUMING it is a sculpture, though i would not put anything past Mickey Rourke.

And here is his master bedroom. It seems VERY ornate, for a Virgo, even a Virgo movie star. Thoughts?

Astro-Decor: The All White Interior

Vogue Paris

How I love the idea of an all white interior.  It appeals to my Moon in Libra like MAD.  But then Mars in Virgo (opposite Saturn!) envisages several hours a day gliding around, tight-lipped and eagle-eyed,  my neurotic hands gripping the spray and wipe as i wipe off MARKS OF GRUB.  Or worse GRIME.

Oddly enough the only person i know to actually DO an all white interior decor is the Sagg Fascinator and this is in spite of grown-up musician children, grandchildren, cats, dogs and an insane, chain-smoking (cigars), right-wing, Scorpio, hunter boyfriend.  She has NO Earth element in her chart whatsoever so I can only imagine that practical aspects did not concern her.

Come on, which sign could hack it?  In real life?  Maybe whichever sign would be an expert painter and able to repaint every few months. That would work. It wouldn’t be Cancerians because they would have too much stuff. They’d have “knick knacks” and sentimental tickets to things they remembered all over that mantlepiece. Pisces would scribble some inspirational slogan in lipstick on the mirror or put a rainbow sticker in the corner. It would remind Aries of a hospital room so no way. Leo – not enough bling. Scorps need red/purple. Sagg – LOL!

I am thinking an Aquarius who is really into Reiki and just sort of needs a SPACE into which to propel his/her thoughtforms between astral travels might like it. But they would have to drink their wheatgrass in the kitchen. A control-freaky Capricorn would do it – just to show that they could. Thoughts?

The Tentacle Shower: Which Sign?

Well my reaction was HOW FANTASTIC & pity about the P.O.A bit (P.O.A = Price On Application) but yes, so genius to have several different tentacles and you can twist them around to suit + it looks cool.

But my Cancerian son freaked: he said he would be totally unable to shower without imagining the tentacles wrapping around his neck, scary movies he has seen involving paranormal tentacle activity, horrible sleazy eels eating baby ducklings and the time he stepped on a snail inside his gumboot when he as three.

So, okay, I am thinking Crab Peeps should not be allowed NEAR this thing, P.O.A. or not. IN fact, they prefer baths, i.m.o. Sooo who would like the Tentacle Shower???

D.I.Y. Astro – Fortuna Redux

October 12, 2009 in D.I.Y. Astro, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 32 comments

Today is the Ancient Roman worship day of Fortuna Redux – goddess of successful journeys and safe returns!

Fortuna is from whom we get the term Lady Luck & the Pars Fortunae (Part Of Fortune) in your chart is where you are traditionally fortunate! There are articles on it here and here & you can bung it easily into your chart using Astrodienst’s Extended Chart Options.  It’s an Arabic Part & thus from a different school of astro – there are dozens of these so-called Arabic Parts; The Part of Fascination, the Part Of Treachery, The Part Of Karma etc. Deeply interesting but maddening to the person setting out to learn about astrology, which is why i so rarely go on about them.

BUT, for a good time (if you are an aspiring Astro-Fiend) have a look at your Part of Fortune & the House that it is in + any major and tight-orb aspects that it makes.  To also Do: Compare it with Jupiter – the official “benefic” of the planetary pow-pow, along with our lady Venus. A Part Of Fortune hitting on Jupiter and/or Venus would be officially brill. Think also of transits involving this lot as being when you ponce out to try on some new biz.

And yes, I am back and i had a successful journey thank you so much!

The 12th House

I call the 12th House (the one right before the Ascendent) the Soul Sector but it has many names. Fatalistic old style astrologers called it the House of Self-Undoing.  The sign on the Cusp of the 12th is often one that you are not comfortable with although it would actually be brill for you to incorporate the higher aspects of that sign. Sometimes the 12th House operates almost like a relative you are embarassed about. Something fun to think about…yes?

The Sun, Moon and planets there can be like hidden talents, people whose Sun-Moon etc fall into your 12th House stir your Soul as do planets gliding through there. It’s potent for dreams, divination and secrets. There can be a withdrawal from the world – or what you think of as your world – when the 12th house is being activated…a fab time to do therapy, a personal pilgramage etc.

Soul Sector doings are deeply subliminal and as for the Self-Undoing theme, i don’t really go along with that. But i expect it has to do with how 12th house themes – secrets – can manifest as addictions and all that end of life. I know when i had Uranus in my 12th house, i operated way more subversively & led a v.insular life & then -wham – Uranus got to my Ascendent – everything changed.

So, something to think about: How do you work/use the sign/Sun/Moon or planets in your 12th house?? Do you repress them?  Is there any link to secrets there? The 12th House is spooky  and multi-layered as will be your answers to this question, if you muse upon it enough.

Quick examples as i am dashing: i HAVE noticed that peeps with Mars in the 12th are WAY more angry than they seem. Sublimated Mars. Also you often meet super-Low versions of the sign in your 12th House in early life, Jupiter there is secret blessings…

Astro-Query: What In Your Abode Is Most Astro-Cliched?

What, in chez You, is the item or room that most reflects your Sun or Moon Sign???  Mine is totally my bedside table although the bathroom cabinet (alphabetically arranged essential oils) comes next. And you? Smarty-pants peeps can cite the sign on the cusp of their 4th House, if they like.

I always think the Sagg cliche is a bike, packed bag with passport, surfboard and/or set of skis in the hallway. Taurus sink $$$ into a couch they can sink into to think. Geminis love gadgets & Leos need a big plasma to watch wanky movies + maybe a throne…

Virgo would technically be into wheatgrass but also hide a secret cache of luxury chocolate…

Crab Peeps? Nostalgia & antiques for sure…

D.I.Y. Astro – The 2nd House…Your Wealth Sector

July 2, 2009 in D.I.Y. Astro by Mystic Medusa | 45 comments

The 2nd house of your chart is known as the House of Earned Income – as opposed to the 8th house which can be money that just sorta comes to you…The 2nd House is your Money Box, your Wealth Sector and is symbolic  of your attitude toward toward lucre, material possessions and – deeper – your sense of self-adequacy.

Look first to the sign on the cusp of the House. And guys, the point of D.I.Y. Astro is that you glomp your chart off Astrodienst & have fun figuring it out here. There are always peeps to help or me, if you spring for an Astro-Query. Anyway, look to the sign on the cusp of the 2nd house. This is FUN. That sign is how you are with $$$.

So even though YOU may be a super-cautious & canny Capricorn, if you’ve got Leo lurking on the cusp of your 2nd – LOL. You will LIKE the sensation of having “proper” champagne in your fridge and you do not give a shit about what some wine wanker says about how some shit-house cheap sparkling wine is superior. No-no-no. You feel soothed by the registered orange hue of the Veuve label. Soothed.

Pisces on the cusp of the 2nd? You are so prone to giving stuff away. Things come to you when you need them as if by osmosis. Things go with ease. You’re like a walking installation of The Secret. Scorpio/Cancer on the cusp of the 2nd? You’re likely to be one of those peeps who just have the investment knack. You leapt in at the start of the tech boom and nipped out again quick smart. You can turn $5 into $500 and to you it’s as sensual and pleasurable as growing something in the garden.

But it’s not just the signs on the cusp of the 2nd. It’s also what’s in there! The classic challenged-by-money placement is our ye olde friend Saturn. Yet remember that your Saturn area gets buffed and buffed via loads of work and angsting till finally it becomes your shiniest area? Saturn in the 2nd house gets clobbered in early youth by seeming to lose money, be ripped off, just feeling always stuggling but by Jove, when this lot get self-reliant, they are a force. Healthy, wealthy & wise indeed.

Venus & Jupiter there – the benefics of trad astro – bless the person with the ability to sort of drum it up from nowhere, walk out the door and get offered the gig they need & even be fairly fortunate in just finding the stuff. Venus/Jupiter in the 2nd trots into garage sales & comes out clutching the actual valuable antique. Or gets a massive crush on some artist at uni who gives her his/her etchings & voila, they’re worth heaps at a later date.

Think also that you can make money via following the attributes of whatever sign/planet is plonked there. And don’t worry if no planet there – it just means it’s not that important to you. Uranus in 2nd; money off the net, via inventions & television. Neptune; film, acting, science fantasy. You could even have the gift of literally dreaming up profitable ideas. Pluto is like mogul-land. People who literally go from having zilch to being officially selfmade millionaires often have Pluto (or Scorp) in the 2nd.

Mercury & the Moon in the 2nd – you’re able to intuit so eerily well what peeps want that you do amazingly well in corporate world/sales & – obviously – writing/self-expression. Retail genius often goes with the Moon in the 2nd. Knowing what peeps want before they know it. Being able to divine trends.

So check out your 2nd house and try to go with it a bit. Oh and another one – Mars/Aries in 2nd house – they will go hard at it and take it as a personal assualt to their ego if you try to come between them and their earning power. They get off on earning & flashing it about a bit. It’s not vulgar – it’s just like someone with another kind of strong Mars doing chin-ups on the door to impress you.

Again, this is why i love astrology, it’s so helpful to get how peeps truly are different. So if one person feels  inclined to hoard & hoard whilst another is like carpe-diem,  it’s not that either of them are wrong! Go for it – check out your 2nd house, the sign on the cusp, anything in there (South NOde is like you’re over material security and feel stuck by it, North Node is like you GOTTA get it and have it to feel spiritually secure) whether or not you’re working it right AND any big transits through it…
