So, as if Saturn hurtling back into opposition with Uranus, a Dark Moon and Mars flamingly direct again is not enough to contend with, voila Venus in Aries square Pluto.

It’s both a prequel of late May and a harking back to last December…hot & karmic, v.sexy…Mercury does the same dance late next week so that’s the communication aspect of what is more clandestine now.

Venus-Pluto always feels amazing for budding or emerging-Qi (yes i just had acupuncture) relationships – v.stimulating in all regards but it is hell (like anything Plutonic) on stale/stagnant situations.  I know a few peeps in relationships that they say should end but that they can’t for various practical/sentimental/whatevs reasons and they always go ape whenever the Moon or Venus touch Pluto.

It’s raw. Fun for authenticated individuating types – hard on lies and pushed down emotions. Look around you for examples of feelings that can not really be disguised, negative & positive.  I’ve been overhearing the surreally skanked up domestics on the streets. Yick.

Short Version: Blame your libido on Venus-Pluto if you like and yes, things are heating up. If you’re stagnating, non-stop bickering and proud of it, it’s only going to get grottier…From here on in. The Venus-Pluto square is like a little taste of Uranus square Pluto…

Ladies, with Venus Conjunct Uranus, women are at their most alluring when weirding in and out.

Stay spacey.  Besides, Venus-Uranus is a zap of romantic/artistic action but Mars IS still Retrograde.

So just be zippy & Uranian – a little bit off-planet, doing thy own thing – you can show off credentials, intent, your feelings and/or successes next week when Venus aspects, sigh, Saturn.

For now & tomorrow, sci-fi is the new etiquette of dating & related enterprises.

When Venus meets up with Uranus (the Goddess of Love with the God of Divine Chaos) an interesting time can ensue. Venus is nearly there right now. This aspect perfects by Thursday evening but permeates the whole week, regardless of your timezone. Venus-Uranus can bring relationships quickly into being and they can shatter apart just as quickly.

People want electrifying connection & haute meeting of minds, not dullard obligations. Things that have been tolerated for months suddenly become intolerable. Strange attractions flare up. Interestingly, Venus opposes Saturn next week so that is like the opposite to this Venus-Uranian energy. It’s by next week (that quickly!) that you’ll see how viable a relationship or prospective little fling is.

This week? Love is weird but hopefully in a good way and you can’t really do a single thing to control it. In fact, attempting to control Venus-Uranian energy is a guaranteed flop. What you can expect? Interesting courtships, artistic zing, the urge for a more unique look, love of unusual art/music/decor, the re-entry of a.w.o.l. suitors (though Mars Retrograde ameloriates this to a certain extent) and fascinating new flirtations or more sparking up.

Venus rules beauty. The most popular look du jour would be something alternative dimensional…You know, alien but not green or with tentacles. Other worldly and non-controlling. Venus-Uranus can also be sudden reversals in romance. Also, this is Venus-Uranus conjunction is followed by Venus in aspect to Saturn, Mars and then Pluto…all in the next 12 days…Fun. Action.

So now the Moon is Dark (ie; right at the end of her Moonwane) and in Capricorn, so setting off the Saturn-Pluto Square that is one of the key themes this year.

If you’re not feeling the fabulousity of the Auspicious Aqua Weirding (the rare and beautiful Chiron-Neptune conjunction) it may because you’re trying to ignore a Saturn-Pluto reality…most likely something to do with a merde health habit, quasi-hysterical financial policy or desperately dysfunctional relationship but you’re sticking it for reasons not so much to do with sentiment/loyalty as fear and so-called convenience.

You see, Chiron and Neptune are beyond the bounds of Saturn so if there are Saturn-Girl style issues to look at, Saturn blocks the cosmic light.

Otherwise, if you’re in tune with Saturn, this Moon feels pretty damned good; a lot of finishing up ye olde biz, dealing with deets and actually toting up accomplishments. The low-ebb bit of it comes because you just don’t truly want to go all out in decadence mode. You’d rather work late or at least let your bod work hard for you doing cell renewal whilst you wander the realms of Morpheus, dreaming grand visons & doing your dark-time psyche work.

This is anecdotal only, but it definitely seems to be our Sagg who tops the sex-outdoors, sex-whilst-travelling, sex in planes and sex in trains stakes. Partly because they just ARE outdoors and travelling a lot anyway, I suppose. But they genuinely seem to like it. So here goes, name your sign & sex-on-the-go specifications.

Or ‘out’ any Saggo you know of with this predeliction. I know an Aquarius (Virgo Rising) who had such a bad argument with a Saggo over sex on the beach (deserted, but she was paranoid about paparazzi AND her Brazilian letting grains of sand up inside and thus maybe causing ovarian problems) that they broke up.

Thoughts?

Leo is Fixed Fire & Capricorn is Cardinal Earth – they’re not officially ravingly compatible as their Suns form a “quincunx” angle of 150 degrees. Adjustments need to be made & it’s like – say – a square aspect (eg; Gemini square Pisces) where they bicker a bit but there is usually intense chemistry & similar temperament.  A quincunx between your Suns and you run the risk of being simply irrelevant to one another. Like Cancerians & Aquarians…

But when these two work together, they work brilliantly. They turn the stupid quincunx into a golden trine – flowing together like some sort of holistic It-Couple installation.  David Bowie & Iman are a Capricorn-Leo pairing & they always seem ludicrously fab.

I think what Leo-Cap need to work is a major work ethic & an area of their own to shine in. It won’t work if the Leo is one of those low-rent louche Leos who thinks only in terms of having enough to get stonkered with. So if the Leo is not stoned on the couch watching Fantasia & scoffing Brie whilst raving about shit he/she can’t afford but wants, then this is brilliant. And the Capricorn can’t be the insanely stingy kind of Cap. Because Leos are truly generous spirits and they freak way OUT at meanness of spirit.

I think Aquarius with Aquarius has GOT to be the winner of the Batty Couples Award.

And, btw, I don’t mean bats as in hysterics & control dramas. I mean just bats. It’s because Aquarius has such a high concept of friendship & giving the other person space to individuate that they go over the top with this. They’re loyal, yes and yet stunningly in their own fashion. Too much emotion cloys their psyche, making it impossible for them to think & the Aqua definition of “too much” is hyper-sensitive.

I knew an Aqua-Aqua couple who fell in love on the spot having met at an art gallery opening (augmented reality video art, naturally) and felt they were so compatible that they moved in together the next weekend. But they did not have sex for six months as each thought the other was gay.

Aqua-Aqua specialise in non-conventional attachments, obviously & there is plenty of room for one person to be – say – a practicing Scientologist whilst the other is a stripper who is trying to start a raw food cult. They can also – both being Fixed Signs, obviously – become amazingly stuck in their ways.

I knew another Aqua-Aqua couple who broke up acrimoniously because they were both immersed in that sort of retro-50s lifestyle and very stylish at it but HE got sick of it, went and shaved his Rockabilly sideburns, started listening to ambient music & learning transcendental meditation. She saw it as a betrayal of their mutual lifestyle values AND she freaked out as she though he only off at Kundalini Yoga to perv at chicks with yoga-bums where-as she had gotten v.comfie with 50s fashion, a bit of shape-wear here & the shitloads of make-up look.

The Scorpio Sex Academic has a book called Flirting For Dummies which she swears I should borrow as it’s so brilliant.

I honestly don’t think i need it. The main thing it seems to have done for her is add a whole new cabal of men into her life – flirtees who are not being at all considered contenders for a relationship nor even a fling but whom are engaged in an active flirtship. The book says that done properly, flirting is practically aerobic and certainly endorphin inducing.

Apart from Libra, I don’t think the Cardinal signs are so good at it – they often don’t bother unless they think something is going to “happen” and then they always want to “follow through.” It’s like they are turned On or Off. Cardinal Signs; Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer.

Virgos are often so attentive and engaging that people THINK they are flirting when really, the poor Virgo is only being polite. Aquarius psycho-flirts. Comes on strong and than takes off fast.

Geminis & Pisceans are definitely the best flirts of the Zodiac…Leos are often too up themselves to show the requisite interest in the other person although Haute Leo (if he/she thinks you are important or beautiful enough) is amazing at it.  Saggo is brilliant, so long as their target maintains the correct sporting attitude.

Thoughts? And your fave flirting styles + sign.

And, btw, the Saturn-Girl Scheduler for December (Alpha-Mystic subscribers only) will be up by the end of the week.

bottpallasBotticelli – Pallas & The Centaur

Just the other day, I was raving on re how wowed out i was/am (The Ultimate New Dating Book For The Auspicious Aqua-Weirding) by the premise of Francesca Lia Block’s Wood Nymph Meets Centaur.  It’s a mythological dating guide, using the archetypes from ancient legend to inform and inspire us on our love & relationship sagas today. I am thinking like a more readily accessible and modern version of the Robert Johnson He, She and We Books.

Anyway, I interviewed her…!

Mystic: You have exactly the same Rising Sign and Degree of Sagittarius as my friend the Scorpio Sex Academic. Do you also tell really risque stories/gossip at mega-decibel volume level in crowded restaurants?

Francesca:  No but I write really risque stories and share them with my friends in my kitchen or bedroom.

Mystic: Your book wowed me out the moment I read about it in Jezebel.   It is a sensational idea. And a fresh voice in what has become a swamp of treat-him-mean-to-keep-him-keen OR Law of Attraction dating books.  Are people just adoring it? Does this magical approach  to dating work?

Francesca: It has worked for me. It helped me gain perspective and not take things as personally. It helped me to laugh at weird situations and I found it comforting to turn to the mythologies I love so much while I was trying to understand the strange world of dating.

Mystic:  It must surely have a crossover to astrology, do  you think?

Francesca:  There is a brief astrology section that tells which signs often match up with or govern the different types.

Mystic: My copy has not arrived yet but I from what I glean, I think I might be a mermaidenly type and I came out of a long marriage to a Woodsman and then proceeded to have affairs with Satyrs…How easy do you make it to figure out the archetypes and does it also go into the classic relationship patterns the different ones form?

Francesca: I give a quiz and detailed descriptions of the types and then it pairs up all  twelve female types with all twelve male types (with a few same sex couples at the end)

Mystic: You are having a Neptune-Moon transit right now – your Moon in Aquarius with Neptune conjoining it, are you finding that your approach to mothering has morphed, you’re super sensitive to substances (even just coffee) and your dreams are really lucid? Fab for writing.

Francesca; I’m always changing my approach to mothering, with the one constant being my intense love for my kids.  I’m always super sensitive to substances. My waking dreams h ave been amazingly lucid lately.

Mystic: Saturn is on your Midheaven at 3 Libra – this is major, like a climax of a trip that began back in 1980. As a teenager then, did you think in
terms of mythology and dating? And can  you see the Saturn progression and links?  I would have LOVED to have this book as a teenager because I read a lot of myth and I thought like that.

Francesca: I didn’t date as a teenager; I just  fell in love or was alone.  I didn’t connect mythology with my relationships per se but now that I look back I can define the boys and men I was with using this system.  I see the links between that time and this because at that age I was facing a similar crisis to the one that I am now and a little after that I was experiencing a similar magic that I am experiencing now.

Mystic: Saturn on your Midheaven is also about success, more fame and it is  being squared by Pluto – do you think your relationships/self image is
altering due to success/career. What changes are you noticing with Saturn-Pluto so powerful in your chart right now?

Francesca; I am feeling more connected to the outer image I put out into the world (promoting myself, being in touch  with my readers online) but I try to stay focused on the work first and foremost.

Mystic: You’ve got Mars in Leo in the 8th house – is Mars in Leo now until next June turning you into a power-crazed megalomaniac? And if so, how are you reconciling that with the witchier, more solo Neptune-Moon vibe?

Francesca: I am a power crazed megalomaniac in the realm of writing stories and I am witchy at night with my beloved.

Mystic: What are, please, the main archetypal characters?

Francesca; Male types: Centaur, Giant, Urban Elf, Woodsman, Werewolf, Hob, Faun, Tree Elf, Vampire, Garden Elf, Merman. Satyr.  Female Types: Wood Nymph, Tess, Urban Elf girl, Pixie, Weregirl, Hobby, Brownie, Dryad, Vamp, Mermaid, Banshee, Fairy.

Mystic: What would Blanche in Streetcar Named Desire be? And what do you think  Brad and Angelina are? Jennifer Aniston?

Francesca; Brad is Woodsman Angie is Mer-shee (mermaid and banshee)   Jennifer is a Pixie. I am thinking that Blanche is a Mermaid/Weregirl?
