Grouched Up Aries

March 17, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 51 comments

So I note some Aries peeps grouching it up in the comments.

I’m sure I said this before, maybe only in the Daily Scopes but anyway here it is again.

Last week Venus in Aries squared Pluto, this week Mercury in Aries squares Pluto and next week the Sun in Aries squares Pluto. These are all harbingers of the squares from Uranus in Aries (major) to Pluto that are key themes of the next few years.

So it’s not supposed to induce angst but they are subtle omens of impending change which can feel a bit unsettling for sure. It’s actually stirring all the Cardinal Signs; Aries, Kataka, Capricorn and Libra. Libra has Saturn in their sign and Capricorn Pluto.

If you are any of these signs, you kind of need to be reading the Astro-Confidentials featuring Saturn, Uranus and Pluto…because they’re all over your sign from mid-year and beyond. Especially if you’re born in the early degrees of your sign. Phoenixing to the Max.

Remember, another way of thinking about Cardinal signs is that you’re like a Boss sign. You get shit happening.

Astro-Beauty: A Crab Look?

January 13, 2010 in Astro-Beauty, Astro-Fashion by Mystic Medusa | 35 comments

I am not sure why precisely but i consider BOTH of these looks really Cancerian-Crabby-Kataka.

AND WHAT is the hand thingie above called? Because I think that’s mega-Crab.

I think they would like the medieval vibe of it…no?

And in fact, whilst we’re on this, it is mostly Cancerians and Taureans who like going to/doing anything medieval themed isn’t it?

Like those naff banqueting halls, re-enactments and all. They love how flattering they think the clothes are, the ye olde vibe & that furniture was better made in those days. Perhaps also a world where there was Proper Help and no faddy food allergies.

Help. I am channelling someone. A batty Cancerian-Taurus relative, clearly. I did have a BBC Costume drama fetishising relative & I could elaborate but Cancerian-Taurus types are also v.litigious.

Astrological Flirting Styles

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.

Astro-Party-Beast: Your Xmas Intentions

Okay so what are your Decadence Settings for this holiday season?

Are any of you planning to go totally ape at some party? Hide out at a health farm for the duration and emerge looking sensational in January whilst all your friends cower on their couches reading self-help books or yet to emerge from their Carb Coma???

My feeling is that the Mutables (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces) will be celebrating Saturn having gotten off their arse. And Pluto too. They will be in a mood to reprise the decadent self of their yesteryear, only with some of their hardwon sagacious wisdom blended in to the madness. They’re thinking strategic pulling, no nonsense and no Qi wasted on twerps or pointless liasions. See? Saturn worked. But make no mistake about it, they’re getting ready to act up.

Those signs currently under the pump of Saturn and Pluto: Aries, Libra, Cancerians and Capricorns will be looking at working way up to the last possible minute, maintaining their health regimens with absolute rigour & trying not to resent the enforced sloth and frivolity too much.

So we’re looking at the Fixed Signs – Aquarius is v.sensitive due to all the Neptunian/Chironic/Jovial action in their sign so they may be adopting a more spiritual-edge celebratory attitude this year. An official love-in. Taurus is – as always – fantastic at relaxing and banqueting, regardless of the occasion. If it’s trad in their circles to get trashed and dance on the table wearing nothing but a bit of tinsel, then Taurus will do it, no worries.

Scorpio & Leo are both equally determined to do the season on old-school, Saturnalia style; huge floral arrangements, grandiose tie-breaking with all ex-lovers, mead or a version there-of and sex.

Someone should quickly open an Xmas/New Year Retreat for Capricorns who are not in the mood to do Christmas, their birthday, carbs or leisure.

Dark Moonie

Okay it IS the Dark Moon and Mars is dirging along through the last degrees of Cancer so there is a LOT of stuff coming up…There are always jelly babies & I know quite a few peeps who are resorting Dionysian dilution of their angst…I still think it’s best to let the psychic grot emerge, write it out, do salt baths etc. I texted Kim Falconer a grizzle before and she said the antidote is to list ten things you totally love about your self. your life -they can be awesomely obvious (cherished people) and/or completely shallow. And it’s nearly Mars in Leo!!!!! I am re-reading my Martian Bats rave, even though i wrote it myself – & you should too!!!!

The Good Ship SuperStar Virgo & Astrological Cruising

October 14, 2009 in Astro Gaga by Mystic Medusa | 69 comments

SuperStarVirgo03

Every now and then I see an advertisement for the cruise ship SuperStar Virgo (there is a sister ship named SuperStar Leo) and my mind meanders to how all the different signs would behave on board a cruise. As well as, of course, the differences between SuperStar Virgo and SuperStar Leo: The former would be Amish in design & feature gluten-free organic cuisine with the occasional illicit chocolate binge by special arrangement. There would be an aide-de-camp specificially just to deal with allegations of fraying on the edge of the blankets or miniscule cracks in the basin. SuperStar Leo would be more ornate, loads of gilding & 24-7 performances & brass bands.

But on an actual cruise ship – our imaginary trip round the world on SuperStar Zodiac or whatever: Aries would be up the top attempting to tell the Captain where/how to pilot the ship and/or going WAY over the top in a deck game of croquet. Gemini would be like some Trickster character – going between ‘worlds’ as he/she acts as ostensibly the Entertainment Manager but more of an information and gossip broker. Pisces & Saggo would be in the bar regaling one another with tales of astral travel (Pisces) and ‘real’ travel (Sagittarius). Leo would be rehearsing for karaoke and perfecting his/her outfit. Libra would stay in the spa the WHOLE time with occasional forays around the deck with the purpose of pulling. Taurus would be compiling a dossier of all the food/buffets available in between lounging/meditation by the pool. Cancerians would be holed up in their cocoon like bunk bed and/or leading some sort of a trippy encounter group scenario. Aquarius would be gazing existentially out at the ocean and/or reading some futuristic tract. Virgo & Capricorn would be networking/using the ‘free’ time to schedule up their next phase of transcendental accomplishment. Scorpio? It would be a secret at the time but everyone would talk about it for years once they found out.

Am I right or am I wrong?

Astro-Gaga: Atlantis Shoes – Which Sign Would Wear These?

Hmmm. Well this is part of a new collection called Plato’s Atlantis, which immediately makes me think of some fabulous poetry & the enthralling idea of what constituted chic in ancient Atlantis. I personally do not think Plato would have cared for these shoes.

So they are studded with turquoise – the Sagittarian gemstone but would a Saggo appreciate shoes so difficult to run in? There is some glitter in the mix which makes me think Pisces or Virgo trying to glitz up the greige. Serious F-U heels is tres Scorp. Could this be Lower Gemini? As in something Delia Antwerp Aaars would wear – very, VERY difficult to drink in, i would imagine. You would have to retain serious focus whilst wearing these things. It would be easier to imagine that you are landing a space shuttle, as opposed to forgetting yourself and trotting off down the stairs to the loo whilst trying to yell an inappropriate anecdote. Libra would find them unbalanced as hell. They would send my Virgoan Osteopath into politics, all the better to get them banned. The designer himself is a Piscean.

I am thinking only La Leo would have the requisite combo of nerve, batso chutzpah, status awareness and aplomb to pull these on. Your Thoughts?

Which Sign Gives The Best Guilting?

This ain’t gonna be an Astro-Poll and i am too busy to be guilted over grammar irks either. Neither? Mercury is about to square Pluto AGAIN – surely we all have deeper issues to think about than English. Besides, note the irony of me posting that Alphabet Vs The Goddess book below, but basically, i am prob not going to read it. I feel like i absorbed it via osmosis and i totally get it…But it is all about peeps like me – pantheistic/Venus worshippers/Fanactical about Feng Shui ex-Anglicans not HAVING to read. I think. And, o.m.g., i just nearly typed “ex-aliens” .

Anyway, which sign gives the best guilting? I like to think it is my mars in virgo that makes me a good guilter on occasion. eg; “You are thinking about your HAIR at a time when (fill in revolting news story of the day)…” but i have a stellium in Pisces strong enough that i’ll automatically side with peeps on many a moral transgression. I think actually Cancerians are Pro-Guilters. My son is exceptional at it and as I have always said, Geminis are immune to it. My daughter just shrugs and rolls her eyes when someone tries to guilt her. And the shrug is intense, like she is attempting to shrug something annoying off her shoulders that seems to have landed there.

My friend the Piscean Beauty Fanatic completely refuses any form of guilt and she has an extremely sophisticated argument to back her stance. It starts with her annoyance at Sunday School when hearing about Eve and goes on from there. Leos specialise in really good thundering outrage but it’s more the theatrics they’re keen on. Aquarians and Librans don’t guilt you but you may not hear from them for a few years. Taurus is a shocking guilter when in the right mood. Aries won’t guilt – their flashpoint is more lack of respect. Scorpio and Capricorn conserve energy, they don’t bother with casual guilting. It’s revenge or they have rendered you and your energy irrelevant. Saggo? Lol.

Astro-Compatibility: Gemini & Capricorn A Go-Go

September 30, 2009 in Astro-Compatibility by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

Gemini & Capricorn? If you ever see these two out together, you’d think not. As in the ‘no effing way’ sense of ‘not’. But they – like Cancerians and Aquarians – are a surprisingly common ‘incompatible’ coupling. I don’t believe in Sun Sign compatibility v.deeply. As in – if the Gem has got Virgo Rising and the Cap is rocking a Leo Moon – voila, compatibility and who cares about the Suns being in stupid quincunx.

BUT it’s hilarious as they value different things. Gemini loves wit, wordplay and to feel in motion. Gemini is ludicrously non-judgemental and amoral. Cap is mega-moral and worships structure/status. They are usually tres clear and concise communicators and it’s on one level. Geminis don’t want to be bored. Capricorns don’t want to be broke. Gem prizes stimulation. Cap values peace of mind.

HOWEVER: Together these two have a lot of good sex and amass heaps of money. Also, remember that Gemini may be whimsical but the word Capricorn has links to “caprice”. Think of how goats are hideously serious most of the time; scaling mountains with their bare hooves and incredible balance, eating people’s laundry, butting people and looking devilish. But then they kick up their hooves and do cool goat dancing. Add to that the Capricorn link to Pan & Dionysus – chaos Gods for sure. And that the Capricorn Goat is actually a Mergoat…Yes, deep down the Capricorn (especially post-Saturn Return) out-weirds the Gemini.

Even if, it’s true, nobody is better than talking it up in party mode, than our Gem.
