Oh dear it has to be said. Mercury backed way up into the end of Virgo, within coo-ee of opposing Uranus AND quincunx Jupiter…It’s time to issue a Defcon 5 Drunk Dialling Alert…I also call it Tequila Texting, in honour of a Libran gentleman i know who once sent me what amounted to a short story via text msg. Call it what you will but be on guard against it this weekend. I’d like to think Moon in Capricorn will introduce some decorum to the scenario.

And whilst we are on this topic, two questions. Which Sign Is Most Prone To Drunk Dialling? And what’s been  YOUR most spectacular one? Mercury signs as well if you know them please.

Oh and I just checked – Asteroid Dionysus is approaching Venus. That clinches it. Lock up your phones!

Okay, so Vodafone sending me a final demand for a bill that was already paid only the reference number they gave me was wrong so i have to fax on my non-existent fax machine (as they won’t accept e-mails, mail nor the fact they can see that i have paid on their ’screen’) bank statements to some office where it probably gets fed straight into their giant shredder so that they can hopefully send me crazy enough to just pay them twice over in the forlorn hope they will finally close my account as i begged them to several months ago and yelling ‘fuq off’ at c.c gimp IS ALL A NORMAL PART OF MERCURY RETROGRADE. And I know it.

But my dishwasher becoming a Terminator totally got to me. Last Mercury Retrograde, it had some problem and was flashing this strange set of numbers. It would not work at all. So i went online and found this cool sort of Aries-tradie site called something like Dishwasher Warrior and this guy who had been a dishwasher repair guy for centuries tells you the no-shit way to fix stuff without having to spend $$$ on some dude who’d rip you off and all.  And the tips offered by Dishwasher Warrior worked. I was amazed.

So  yesterday, when the dishwasher starts flashing up 888 I think about it being the Age of 8 and how 8 is Uranus and then i think i’d better get it to work. So i go online looking for the Dishwasher Warrior site again and i find this: The Terminator 888

Thankfully, the dishwasher is Fisher & Paykel – not Skynet.

I realise this is probably a bit warped but i still think the first Terminator, when Michael Biehn says to Linda Hamilton that he came across time for her, is one of the most romantic movies ever.

And yes, the Moon is back in Scorpio. With a Sun-Pluto square building and Mercury blatting backwards to oppose Uranus. Spooky & potentially but power-trippy but Mercury also on Saturn is a good grounding tool. Hang  on to thy wits and remember that things will still be in play for a bit. Mercury turns Direct next week and does the Saturn-Uranus-Pluto stuff all over again.

Is there a Sun, Moon or Venus sign signature that totally always goes for Matte and one that goes for Gloss???

I am so lip gloss attached that i cannot imagine ever using a lipstick again, no matter how awesome the ad-spiel or Freudian the packaging…It doesn’t seem nourishing enough…Just so retro and non-me.

But I think Earth Signs prefer the solidity of an actual lipstick & that a proper lipstick tube seems somehow more statussy and adequate…non? And Fire Signs might even find them less fiddly…

So, i’m calling it: Air & Water like Gloss. Fire & Earth prefer Matte.

Plus: oh this is going to sound  horrid, but it’s true – Aries and Saggo women tend (unless they actually work in a fashion-forward industry and are obsessive beauty fiends) tend to stick with whatever worked with them the year of their high school formal or something. Even when they are madly modern and current in every single other context.

O how the atmosphere is intense with Pluto, Saturn, Uranus et al…Still Venus IS IN LEO and opposing (this is good and easy) Jupiter by the end of the week. This is good for adding a dipsomaniac, super-vain, self-obessive and art-fiend style vibe to the Pluto Direct dirge and end-of-era shite. Seriously.

So, in all honouring of our ability to be shallow when it is needed to balance the more sombre tones of the astro-situation, please share Hot Leo Hair Tips & do Leos honestly have the hottest hair?  I have said it before and I say it now: I think the cruel irony is that Aquarius, the opposite sign to Leo and their arch-rival always have better hair.

My Hot Leo Hair Tips: Just (for when you are in Sydney) my Psychic Gemini Hairdresser – Shaz at Glitterbox 9550-2700 & Reiki-oozing acupuncturist Melinda (9565-2793) and once i tried some really naff looking vitamins called something like Hairdressers Formula & they made it seem to grow visibly. Problem: Hair on legs etc ALSO responsive to the neuropeptides or whatever was in them.

Guess what???  Those primal throbbings ain’t just Pluto in slo-mo, stationing Direct. Nor Saturn revving up to oppose Uranus again. Dark Moon Lilith is conjunct the North Node in Capricorn. Let’s just say Lilith is the Bitch Goddess & that she is a Good Thing. Archaic feminine power and all that. And so we have Dark Moon Lilith conjunct (very powerful) the North Node (manifest destiny) and in the mega-pragmatic sign of Capricorn at 27 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.

So who has been vowing to be (productively) more of a bitch lately? Especially where it pertains to clearing out the crappy old residue from being too nice, sentimental and goo-goo. Like Saturn Girl, Lilith in Capricorn hasn’t much time for L.O.A. style thinking – she’s set & forget when it comes to boundaries/standards et al. But with the North Node involvement, the boundaries are more like borders between two different eras.

The Saturn-Uranus opposition links in nicely as well – Saturn in Virgo is trining Lilith & Uranus sextile. So it’s like harnessing the power of Saturn/Lilith to achieve Uranian ends, if you like. Ditto the North Node ends as being our “ideal” future. And being enough of a bitch to jettison those elements of the past that don’t work or not wanting to go back to a place you CAN’T revisit…and why would you want to???

And, btw, this is so beautiful and such a lovely omen: if you look up in the sky at night right now, you can see the nearly Full Moon very close to Jupiter, the Greater Benefic and official auspicious planet. Fab for Aquarians! Have a look and make a wish.

MERCURY IN LIBRA SEXTILE VENUS IN LEO IS SEXY & FUN…COMMUNICATIVE & FLIRTATIOUS…IT CAN BE A BIT OF THIS….

AND A BIT OF THAT…

Pretentious? There is always a whiff of that when Leo & Libra get together but SO WHAT? Live it up as soon enough you get to do Pluto Direct – oh the aching psychological evolution – & Saturn Opposite Uranus, Mercurial Bats + a Full Moon in Pisces…all Good but intense. Who cares if you get off being sensual & frivolous in the meantime? Make like a healthy cat; limber, protein-fuelled, compulsively groomed & ensuring you schedule in time to lie in the sun scheming your next ‘hunt’.

And…just so as you know, Venus in Leo is not just brazen posing, makeovers, too much champagne, power scents, big hair, love letters left under the pillow at midnight with crushed gardenia & grandiose gestures or actually being bothered to go out and stalk someone in person (with the right outfit/hair/make-up) instead of just idle google-stalking…

No. It is also SERIOUSLY honouring your art. So T.F. what if you trashed your lovers atelier trying to come up with the Concept, crashed your girlfriend’s stupid book club or had to stay up three  nights in a row and all THAT entailed because it is all totally about the art dude. And with Pluto stationing direct bringing the most ferocious psych insights, one has to work them out via Art.

And everyone knows that artists have rad hair, drink a lot and enjoy non-trad love lives.

THIS, ladies & gentleman, is another aspect of Venus in Leo…

So i am calling this Virgo Moon – now and Saturday no matter where you are in the world – our 2nd chance Moon. Oh you may have strayed from the path of righteousness and that new nutritional regime is but a haute concept BUT this is the lunar vibe of spick, span and seriously on-track for all your Better Living schemes. Health, Efficiency and devising clever new routines for everything from skincare to taxes are YOU. Enjoy the 2nd Chance Moon….

And if you are in the Northern Territory of Australia, I will be on their ABC Radio this morning, raving on for a whole hour! Apparently I even get to do talkback which i LOVE.

The Mars-Uranus bingle should go a long way toward off-setting the Cancerian Dark Moonie tendency toward Flash-Nostalgia – we’ll all be too wired to go yearning over yester-century but here it is anyway; the combo of today’s Moonwane in the sign of kataka and the fantasia kick from Neptune could cause the most intense & potentially NAFF nostalgia.  Just don’t go letting it affect your actual forward planning. Just don’t go shopping, trying to contact Mr/Mrs Yestercentury.

I did by mistake. My son put a really old sim card in my new mobile fone & i went and texted a whole lot of ye olde peeps my new number. Infuriating. He has Mercury-Mars-Jupiter in Leo/3rd house so he felt this was like a creative & helpful thing that he was deigning to do for me. So I have had some nostalgia forced upon me. And my new mobile is also signed up to some job-search service so i get texts every hour or so telling me to be in some weird place for an interview to drive a forklift. When i try to respond to say ‘wrong number’ the a fone-bot texts back telling me it’s forbidden to respond & that i have to contact my ‘handler’ or something.

All this sounds like…yes…Mercury Retrograde. It is not retrograde until September 7 but it has just reached it’s shadowzone & the fact i’m already copping Mercurial Bats crap means it’s going to be a goodie!  What is the shadowzone???  Okay, Mercury goes Retrograde on September 7 at six degrees of Libra. It then retrogrades all the way back to 21 degrees of Virgo before going direct again. Mercury is at 21 degrees of Virgo NOW so even though it’s not retrograde, it’s entered the zone. Mercury Retrograde purists don’t count it as being out of shadowzone  until it returns – again – to six degrees of Libra.

So beware flash nostalgia, communications screw-ups and temper tantrums.
