How Not To Be Saturn’s Bitch

Mystic Medusa — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 06:57:54 +0000

Hey I have just posted How Not To Be Saturn’s Bitch on the Weekly Scopes page.

It is a summary of all the most salient and immediately useful Saturn stuff to take you through the last few months of Saturn in Virgo (until next time in 2040 something) + this tricky Saturn-Uranus Opposition. I have basically summarised all the Saturn-Uranus Opposition chechez le grip stuff as well…

I have Uranus on my Sun and Saturn Opposing at the moment so, truly, I am spending quite a bit of time figuring out how not to be Saturn’s Bitch.

The Souls Of Good Violets

“Oh, Marilla, it’s a perfectly elegant brooch. I think amethysts are just sweet. They are what I used to think diamonds were like. Long ago, before I had ever seen a diamond, I read about them and I tried to imagine what they would be like. I thought they would be lovely glimmering purple stones. When I saw a real diamond in a lady’s ring one day I was so disappointed I cried. Of course, it was very lovely but it wasn’t my idea of a diamond. Will you let me hold the brooch for one minute, Marilla? Do you think amethysts can be the souls of good violets?”

Amethyst is my favourite gemstone & the only “crystal” apart from Rose Quartz that I have ever felt working a la all the woo-woo crystal healing-diff-frequency-vibing hoo-hah. It is most renowned for helping to induce sobriety.

The Ayurvedic astrologers (Indian) claim fascinating healing powers for various gemstones attributed to planets and worn on a particular part of the body…eg; Blue Sapphire, they say, antidotes “the evil effects of Saturn” whilst Cat’s Eye helps bestow “wealth by secret means” and Diamonds can cure uterine diseases.

Astro-Fiends, Creativity & Discipline

The Creative Habit – Twyla Tharp

I saw this Jezebel snip about how the choreographer genius Twyla Tharp “gets up at 5 a.m. six days a week to edit her upcoming book Collaborative Habit, then rehearses dancers for her musical Come Fly With Me for seven hours. “Structure is required for creativity,” says Tharp.”

Her older book, The Creative Habit, is by all accounts a madly inspirational and get-thee-to-it-thou-sluggard motivational polemic & how-to, cleverly riffing on the idea that creative cut-through arrives via just chilling t.f out & maybe getting a bit wasted along the way. Yes I totally get that the notes scribbled on bar coasters/back of one’s childen’s school newsletters amidst a Dionysian moment do not often pass creative scrutiny the next day.

But 5am? SIX days a week? As the base?

I was thinking along the lines of TT as a super-industrious Virgo. A Capricorn? Note pics of her ludicrously flexible et al at age nearly 70. Caps will do that. They and Leo love to be photographed in their 4th century this lifetime or whatever is going on, just casually tucking an ankle behind their blowdried hair.

My own experience of the Saturn through Virgo Transit has led to untold time and money measurements – they become normal under such stars. You count hours – am i working so hard as i think or is it just that I am dreadfully disorganised or overly deadline conscious? You calculate. You start to keep tabs on yourself and it feels like heaven. Warning: Do NOT try this sort of thing if you are not having a major Saturn transit.

You gain an eerie Saturnine glee from such accountability. So I can see how an actual Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) or Virgo would arrive at the 5am each morning start-time for many a practical reason. You need more time? MAKE IT. This is how Earth Signs think.

But she’s a Crab!!! And I have never known a single Crab-Person yet who would not engage in many a complicated negotation to score extra early am sleep…My god, many of them become wealthy (they are the canniest sign of all, remember, most likely to be your next-door millionaire) just because they so value security and the ability to snooze peacefully in, shell intact, savings in place.

But i had a quick peek at Twyla Tharp’s Astro-Databank chart & she may be Cancerian and with her Moon in Sensual Libra et al (also a sleeping-in indicator) BUT she has one major astro-signifier that totally backs up this idea of creative discipline and in fact, makes it absolutely obvious that she would seek a career out of something mega-exacting, controlled AND creative..but with a tradition.

Astro-Fiends can check out her chart here & say what it is: It is ONE particular major aspect that totally stands out and matches her books + image.

Astro-Beauty: Truth or Dare? The Rich Look

Mystic Medusa — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:10:17 +0000

I know someone who is Pisces with Capricorn Rising & that’s all I am gonna say as she’s litigious and usually v.v. angry at life. Anyway, she has always been bats for the ostentatious label look, gone totally broke trying to achieve it & brand-name-drops her head off. Sort of like a younger and more modern version of Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouquet)

I am talking someone who will see things like “I’ll just sign for this with my Mont Blanc pen” and whipping out the thing with a tight-lipped grin of what she imagines to be born-to-the-manor style restraint. And being ape for certain fashion items – not because she is a fashionista – but because she madly wants peeps to think she’s ultra-wealthy.

Oddly enough, i have a couple of friends & an ex-husband who WERE raised ultra-wealthy & they like to knock around in daggy clothes, the men especially. The true class/money indicators are way beyond designer bags etc. Anyway, what is your Rising Sign/Sun and have you ever attempted to look “rich”, do you know anyone who does and what do you think of the whole statussy bling thing? And, please don’t howl, but i reckon it IS so characteristic of the Lower Capricorn.

Hyacinth Bucket is totally a Capricorn gone wrong.
