wingsThis pic is called the Wings Of Love and it is by Stephen Pearson – it is one of the best-selling prints in the world. There was even a framed version in one of Saddam Hussein’s houses. I cannot find birth details of the artist but which sign do you think would most fancy it and why??? Saddam was a Taurus.

Also, i may be bimbonic but i don’t quite get it. She is on the tiles of her…bathroom?  Or she is heiress with large terracotta patio? She is naked as was applying fake tan (?) or has just flung away her D.i.y. Tantric Sex book in disgust.  And then…a new vista opens up. It is another world. As seen through the Cosmic Swan. Is it a Swan to reference Leda and the Swan?

Or because Swans pair-bond and have v.elaborate mating rituals? If the artist used, for example, a Budgie, it would not be nearly so striking a picture because budgies are apparently terribly promiscuous and have no mating rituals whatsoever.

Anyway, the Cosmic Swan is delivering her a well-built gentleman whom we are thinking is her soulmate. Looking a bit scarily replicant-like he stands on one wing of the swan, gazing at the moonlight on the water. Would it kill him to smile??? Or is he perhaps from an agency and not in the mood to work that day? Or he is thinking The Deepest Thoughts?

And whilst we are being completely stupid, what signs are they???  He is not a Fire sign because no way would they stand so passively on the Swans wing. He would be doing chin-ups or winking at the woman. A Virgo or Cancerian would be hanging on. Maybe he is a Pisces? And the Swan is looking at him going “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME???”  because it was something a bit cheeky and inappropriate.

Lastly, is the dude carrying something? Or is it just that his right quadricep is sticking forward a bit.  And why isn’t she really reacting…? She seems tres casual for someone with another world opening up on her patio to reveal a gigantic Cosmic Swan and cute guy situation. She might be texting her mate. We can’t tell.

My Cancerian Moon Theory

October 12, 2009 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 67 comments

Alright, hands up who missed me and I have a new theory re the Kataka Moon…It’s in Kataka until this arvo when it zooms into Leo, btw.  London, New York, L.A etc all wake UP with the Moon in Leo…A big flick of the hair, some grandiose affirmations and WHAM: Life As Art.

Anyway, with this Crabby Moon, my theory is that you feel ratty and/or neurotic (crabby!) during the Cancerian Moon IF you don’t self-nurture. So those of you that caned it – including me – on the weekend when you should  have been lying in bed reading soothing poetry, snorting lavender oil and listening to dolphiny music will totally have found it hard to sleep, due to fretful ‘lower Crab’ freakouts. It’s just a theory.

Yes? No?

Ages ago I read, in an astrology book I cannot recall, that lady-Cancerians have “the most exquisitely sensitive and finely formed breasts of the Zodiac.” Yes, i remembered the phrase. Astrologically, as you can see from the ye olde pic below, different bits of the body have always been apportioned a sign/planet etc. Medical astrology is ancient and fascinating in itself, with a complex interplay between remedies & herbs also being assigned a planetary or cosmic value and so on.

But for now, I am mostly interested in the Cancerian thing…is this true? Best boobs? Most sensitive? And yes, I KNOW that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that Draconian standards of beauty contribute to an out-dated & fuqed paradigm whereby women being merely judged by…Okay, maybe we stick to the most sensitive…

And btw, it IS so true that Aries have a little ‘Mars mark’ on their head or face, usually a dent or scar from some daring Ramzilla-style exploit. But yah, Aries “rules” the head and face.

The Piscean Pirate

September 9, 2009 in Astro-Cliches, Astro-Fiends by Mystic Medusa | 37 comments

anne_bonny

Anne Bonny was a rebel, a beauty and an amazingly resourceful pirate of her day. Plus she was a Piscean. Born on March 8 1700, her Dad was the married employer of a household in Ireland, her mother the maid. Anne Bonny was raised in Carolina, where she married a small time pirate but ran off with another one, the infamous Calico Jack Rackham.

There are SO many stories about this woman: Some say that her husband offered to “sell” her (a then-existent quickie divorce fee) to her pirate lover but she refused and was thus sentenced to be flogged for infidelity. But she escaped and became a notorious pirate, plunderer and raider. The only other female pirate of the era (ever?) was Mary Read, her rumoured lover. At one point, Anne Bonny was captured and sentenced to be executed but again, she mysteriously escaped & nothing was ever heard of her again.

Her astro:  Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Pisces…trined by Mars in Scorpio…Jupiter in Capricorn, Lilith in Aquarius opposite Pluto in Leo, Venus/Neptune in Aries square Uranus in Cancer…

Thoughts; Did she actually storm ships with her tits out or is that just how the artists liked to depict her???  A la her unconventional lifestyle. And really, for a woman of that time,  her lifestyle was about as non-trad as you can possibly get. I am thinking she had her Uranus in Cancer rising, as she also had children. Fancy combining THAT with pirating. Then.

And Mars in Scorpio is the same as would-be-teen solo round the world yachter Laura Dekker – try to stop these chicks doing anything and WEEP. Mars LOVES to be in Scorpio….Remember that Mars ruled Scorpio before Pluto was discovered.

For Wimmyn Only; Which Sun Sign Gets The Worst P.M.T.?

August 24, 2009 in Astro-Query, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 53 comments

820+lgWhich Sun Sign Gets the worst P.M.T???

It would be useful data, no?  Anecdotally, I reckon it’s Capricorn. And weirdly, what if this were to do with their sign being the opposite of that ruled by the Moon, our Cancer/Kataka?

Also, i have NO idea if this is true or not but ages ago a pagan, witchy-poo type whose speciality was something like menstrual correctness (invoke Hecate or Kali, use sea sponges or d.i.y. menstrual pads & pour the ’soak water’ on your deadly nightshade patch blah blah blah) said to me that it is the In Tune thing to bleed with the Dark Moon…Which means you are ovulating with the Full Moon and thus waxing/waning a la Gaia.

Thoughts? I personally have not had a grotty pmt episode for years – not since i started exercising properly & doing herbs et al. All that lingers is a mild ennui & propensity to clumsiness. Occasionally, if i have to deal with a total bitch, my cycle gets knocked out of whack, but that’s normal isn’t it?

Astro-Alert: Flash Nostalgia

August 18, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Moons by Mystic Medusa | 28 comments

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.

Mercury in Virgo-a-Go-Go

August 5, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 23 comments

Mercury is in Virgo and actually, it will go into Libra in late August and then retrograde merrily back into bloody Virgo for a bit. I will discuss this Mercurial Bats situation later. But for now and the next few weeks, Mercury is in Virgo, one of the signs it rules. This is awesome for writing, editing, details & observation.

But be aware also that your powers of observation are kinda peaking – for some of you, this may tip over into actual judgementalism (is that a word?) pickiness and corrective nagging. Right now, it’s in check by an approaching sextile to Venus all blissed out and goo-goo in accepting, nurturing Cancer…But post-Saturday, all Mercury has got to do is rev up for a clash with Mars.

So, vow now to think a trillion times before sending off a shit-missive to someone about a quirk/detail/puncutation error you can’t hack any more to the point that you’d rather move planet than encounter it again. And don’t do crap like staring into magnifying mirrors or going around guilting yourself over perceived failures. Compulsively clean. Edit something. Rearrange your vitamins. Micro-manage sans narking off.

Oh and Daily Scopes glitch FIXED now.

Archie’s Getting Married?

archie-may-28-1

They say Sagg men are committment-shy but this ridiculous. It’s been 70 years & finally, on September 8, Archie will propose marriage to either Betty or Veronica. According to the Archie comics site, he is a Sagg, Betty a Cancerian and Veronica a Pisces. Reggie Mantle is, lol, a Leo. Archie would actually be most compatible with  his best friend Jughead, an Aquarian. I have also just gathered that Veronica Lodge is the 36th richest woman in the USA. Or would be, if she were real.

Astro-Baby: Indigo, Crystal & Rainbow Children

July 22, 2009 in Astro-Baby by Mystic Medusa | 48 comments

9781401905644

The other day I was meandering around & decided to go in to see a psychic. It feels a bit silly as i can do my own divination but it’s fab to have someone ELSE doing it for one. In fact, I saw three psychics in three days. I blame the Eclipse and the Scorpio Sex Academic. Actually, it was fascinating. Although, i was disturbed to hear that the Uranian has apparently had his soul snatched.

For one of them, my Gemini daughter and i wound up in front of this lovely lady who said – unprompted, this was excellent, that i was bringing the “old ways” to a new audience via a new medium. That’s what raving on about mugwort & Venus will get you. People can smell it. But this Glebe psychic was staring at my daughter and saying “she’s a crystal child…” I used to get this all the time with my son – “he’s an indigo” and i sort of see it as de rigeur in New Age circles.

So as we’re leaving the shop, i turn to my Gemini and ask how she feels re being a “crystal child” et al. She glared at me with all the scorn a nine year old can muster and said “You paid her money, she wasn’t exactly going to say I am a cockroach child, was she?” I thought that was quite amusing.

But, parents, do you think the Indigo, Crystal & Rainbow child New Agie stuff is genius or a load of drivel?  I don’t know enough about it to totally diss it, though the theories re autism seem a bit suss. The idea of a new master race of highly evolved spirits IS quite appealing, I suppose…But still…

Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse!

Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse!  This is totally the pic I am getting on my imaginary panel van. Only I’d like to add in some unicorns & maybe a magic owl with an aura + a Magician, beckoning.

Anyway, here we go into the New…I was doing my books for tax at the time it hit, having a major admin genius revelation, as I had hoped, looked up in wonderment/gratitude and it was exact. Now to improve my punctuation.

And the Nodes of the Moon are now crossing into Capricorn & Cancer – just as they did in November of 1990…Note that around about now you could experience, if you are old enough, eerie little nostalgic pulses from that era…Here is a suitably sooky-goo-goo (for the Moon) memory-bender.
