It’s a Full Moon in Leo looming – with us by the weekend – and it’s conjunct Mars…Retrograde. Don’t do weird stuff with your hair. Even though you will want to. Think: What is this urge really about? It will be deep. Maybe you really want to learn to sing Opera. Or water-ski. Something way deeper than the hack-thy-hair urge. Full Moon Hair-psychos, please vent in the comments. Put down the scissors. And the henna.
Saturn Square Pluto need not be a shitstorm. Seriously. But it is definitely the time to make rad changes in the structures around you: Your beliefs, your goals & systems. Things change during this particular alignment and yes, it is associated with geopolitical turmoil.
This Saturn Square Pluto situation began last November, perfects the middle bit of its cycle on Feb 1 and completes in August. So you look back to events/emo of last November for clues if you need to. Intensity is the norm with this thing – as is a savage urge to tear down what feels moribund and build up from zero. It has a distinct ruthless vibe to it and it is totally not the time to fuq with anyone.
So – yes to drastic reforms and realizations. No to goading tyrannical or extreme types. The maximum stress from this sort of aspect comes from clinging onto ye olde ideas or relationships that have had their day & you know it. Note the timing: There’s a Full Moon in drama-queenie Leo right before the Saturn-Pluto square is exact. So it’s theatrical too.
Any little resentments/sensations of feeling crowded et al will out themselves & in total Leonic scenary-chewing fashion. It’s not astrology for wimps & nor is it the time for sooky-goo-goo sentimental nostalgia.
Mercury Retro always seems to go mega-bats weird just as it gets set to go Direct.
Saturn going Retro is also a culprit – that sudden super-heated Saturn-Girlie get-your-shit-together-fast vibe as Saturn stations Retro NOW.
A few v.trivial Mercury Retro notes that you may/may not be able to relate to.
* I have just spent AN HOUR writing Aquarius for the Weekly Scope of Jan 23. And yes, it’s a complicated Astro-Scape around then but not THAT complicated. And in that time, I managed to burn the same saucepan three times, trying to cook a sodding healthy ancient grain style low G.I. organic sod-it lunch.
* Am definitely and totally booted off Facebook. So unfair! But at the same time, it was becoming a bit of a Time-Suck. You can help though, by – if you like a post - hitting on the “share” buttons for Facebook/Twitter etc that are below each post. The more peeps come here, the more subscribers and thus more posts and features on the site. Because i am not doing ads. You get the idea. Thank you.
* I got some e-mails asking why I think the serious subject of Self-Actualization warranted illustration with “himbos” and/or hot men. Well. First of all, Luca is not only Mr Brazil – he is a nutritionist. Hardly a himbo. Secondly, i thought about illustrating this serious subject with pictures of sunsets and sodding gerberas but decided against it. Thirdly, my Mercury in Aries does not like correspondence that has phrases in it such as “While I applaud your….I deplore xyz”. Fourthly, it’s my blog and so if i want to deplorably juxtapose pictures of attractive peeps with whatever subjects, i sort of can.
* I am reading two fantastic books: Sugar Blues (it’s actually a fantastically entertaining read, truly) and The Souls Code. Genius
Hey if anyone knows how to lighten up in the shadow of an Eclipse & whistle merrily whilst Mercury/Mars retrograde backwards it’s our Moon in Sagittarius.
Yes, it’s the Dark Moon still & it’s totally time to let go of ye olde ancient angst, a particular grudge, naff thinking – you know. The Sagittarian Moon is not only a little up in the darkness, it’s also perfect for all this as everyone knows Sagittarians hate baggage.
Today, take your cue from the Tao Of Saggability… You can’t forgive? So what? Just forget about it. Everyone knows Sagittarians have shocking memories.
You know how there is this Earth Sign emphasis at the moment?
And that the Moon is in Virgo?
It’s a fab time to drag thy still sorta in holiday mode bod into the kitchen & figure out some sort of re-stocking the pantry situation. Ceres (from where we get the word ‘cereal’ in case you did not know) is now actually in SAGGO…So stocking thy pantry could be turned into a totally rad, bonkers-but-in-a-good-way, Saggalicious style of experience. HOT.
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.
