Amongst many other things, Saturn rules gravity.

Yes. And Uranus rules sub-atomic physics and all. You know, the fun quantum stuff where everything blurs together and particles collide – we could all technically time-travel or be scientifically immortal.

So now that Saturn and Uranus oppose again, we’re either in a time warp, feeling overly leaden and subjected to gravitational forces (a.k.a. budget, having to live near  our ex, whatever) or just nearly perfecting the art of doing enough Saturn/Gravity so that the Uranian cool stuff can  happen.

Sometime during this day of Saturn in Virgo for a few more hours before it goes into Libra and with the Moon in blithe, candid Saggo, you can do a quick analysis of these dates…They’re all Saturn-Uranus linked.

* Were you born in the mid-60s? Then since late 2008 until now has been most likely the definitive moment in your life. As in discovering who you truly are and figuring out a way to fit it into the world 0r – if you’re mega-Uranian – blasting away at the world till it fits you.

* 1980. Saturn is right now where it was in September 1980. Now is the Saturn Return from then. Hit songs of that month – i looked them up – Upside Down by Diana Ross, Sailing by Christopher Cross and Another One Bites The Dust by Queen. If you are old enough to remember 1980 or any of these songs, there will be some poignant merde to be grokked for sure.

* Fourteen years ago? What were you trying to start then? How much have you developed? What have you gone totally off? Evolution? Saturn was opposite where it is now in April 1996. And it was on the point that Uranus is hanging out on. So something that was germinated then can be totally taken and innovated now.

* As Saturn changes sign very soon, look to the area of your chart with Capricorn featuring…the house/sector with Capricorn on the cusp. Expect some subtle shifts there was well, maybe even the manifestation of a blessing. But yes, it will be practical, lol.

* Be extra-nice to Capricorns this week. They’re going through mini-hell and besides, you always know who they’re going to become. Some sort of a v.i.p.

Self-Tracking is surely tres, TRES Saturn in Virgo with a chaser of Pluto in Capricorn.

Everyone does a bit of it, for sure, and it’s tremendously Saturnine and productive to actually measure certain things and set measurable goals.

But as this N.Y. Times article illustrates, some peeps go a little bit O.T.T.

“Humans make errors. We make errors of fact and errors of judgment. We have blind spots in our field of vision and gaps in our stream of attention. Sometimes we can’t even answer the simplest questions. Where was I last week at this time? How long have I had this pain in my knee? How much money do I typically spend in a day? These weaknesses put us at a disadvantage. We make decisions with partial information. We are forced to steer by guesswork. We go with our gut.

That is, some of us do. Others use data…”

Would love to know if they’re Virgoans…See also: The Quantified Self if you want to give it a go.

Virgos and Caps: Are you the most likely to track yourself???  Or am i overlooking something really obvious?  eg: Scorpios who like to stalk themselves, self-Googling Geminis or Leos with an insatiable desire for more info and perspective about their gorgeous selves?

How much would/do YOU self-track?  I flux between Mars-in-Virgo lust for it and Piscean magical-realism-numbers are irrelevant style of thinking.

I think Sagg would be the BEST sign to go camping with…Perpetually cheery, fab sense of direction and hard to phase.

Aries is also upbeat but wrecks it by wanting to pitch the tent on the highest peak visible and screaming ‘come on slackers’ at the fellow campers. But Aries will erect a sodding tent in the middle of a cyclone and heaven help any wild animal who gets between an Aries and a barbecue.

Taurus brings along one of those structured tents with carpets, ovens and a bar fridge. Which is great except it means Taurus requires staff and or “helpers.” There is also the risk of a fight when peeps with less salubrious facilities because they’re keeping-it-real try to sneak into Tent-Taurus for a quick toblerone cocktail. No-no-no.

Gemini & Pisces will have sat-nav, i-Pod and an internet connection for keeping in touch with where it’s at. They’ll talk a good game about being At One with nature and foraging for strange berries that they intend to make into ‘bush tucker’ but go totally off the whole idea about a third of the way into it. They need their fellow campers to be either great conversationalists or someone they fancy. They quite like it if they can hear the comforting sound of a busy road in the distance but will totally get out of any camping chores so that they can talk shit and go skinny-dipping.

Cancerians & Scorps will either not go at ALL or they will go in hardcore, with Swiss survival knives, special sleeping bags, manuals, a determination to actually hunt something/find treasure/walk 1000k in one day and probably some psych issues to work through. There will be deep chats around the fire at night and sensual appreciation of the stars, night-time noise etc. That’s even as Gem & Pisces lie gibbering in their tents, screaming at every squawk from an animal.

Leo & Libra will set out in the latest camping fashion, outdoorsy scents and with a muslin tent, thinking of Out Of Africa scenarios. Silver backed hairbrushes, 800 thread count organic sheets and bush-wattle body lotions are hard to lug around on long treks to camping grounds but they will do it. There may be a dramatic scene once either of them realises that the hard-core Scorp running the show is actually arcing up for a fistfight with the Aries, that there is a Pisces or Aquarius bitching because their tentmate won’t point the tent in the right direction for Feng Shui, due to the blizzard AND that there are  no special dietary requirements taken into account.

Aquarius would want to to whacked out rituals, wildcrafting, nude bushwalking and maybe add the mental mushrooms they foraged into the Arieans barbecue. Virgo and Capricorn would not even GO on this trip without the perameters being carefully delineated and agreed on (legally binding) beforehand. It’s too unstructured…

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.

Even though the Mars situation could be technically stressy for Leos (Mars Retrograde in their sign) and Capricorns (Mars is Exalted in Capricorn) and Arieans (Mars Rules their sign), they are all signs that are still healthily capable of Self-Love.

You know, I’ve said this before but I’m definitely starting to think it now: There are two types of Capricorn. One is more ruled by Pan-Dionysus kind of energy and the other by our lord Saturn.

See above for an example of Capricorn Type One, the cheekbony Ms Moss, avec Diet Coke, a fag & some alcoholic potion for perspective. All the ambition is present, of course, and there is still a work ethic but any control freakery does  not extend to body-as-a-temple policy.

Capricorn Type Two is embodied by Trudie Styler, aka co-producer of Moon and Mrs Sting, seen here below doing yoga at either her huge organic farm home or the Tuscan yoga ranch.

Capricorn One believes in preserving the body through constant intake of chemicals and other crap that will constantly challenge the immune system to become even more vigorous. Plus they just divert their work ethic into stamina to withstand an endless amount of toxins that would in fact poison anyone but Capricorn One. They’re also able to believe that everything they snort, eat or inhale converts to health and beauty via sheer willpower.  If the occasion is the ‘right’ occasion, of COURSE.

Capricorn Two shudders at the thought of common food and is perfectly happy to go the extra 900,000 whatevers to score the correct variety of biodynamic celeriac that will perfectly blend with the delicately honed bodily systems of Capricorn Two…They’re not just winging it and flinging any old organic crap down their gullett. Their diet is scientifically calibrated. Everything is measured. People say Saturn is their God and he is but the secondary Muse is Mensa, Goddess of Measurement. Whether it is weight or debt, there are numbers involved and Capricorn Two gets numbers.

Mars has just 14 more days until it is Direct.

Before then, no batty hair urges, lawsuits or random bitcherel.

This applies to Aries, Leo and Capricorn in particular…

What’s good about Mars Retro in Leo? You have most likely drawn up a powerful & strategic ‘battle plan’ in recent months & that’s brilliant. Benefits show up radically in mid-May. I don’t mean no advance till early June – just that June is when you wow yourself and other peeps out with the realization of your plan.

Mars Retro can evoke a sense of useful urgency that abets you making progress, even if it’s a bit hush-hush for a while.

“…A wearable conditioning device that detects if you’re smiling and provides pain feedback if you’re not. Frowning creates intense pain but a full smile leaves you pain free! The first in a series of Tools for Improved Social Inter-Acting….”

The Happiness Hat is the invention of Lauren McCarthy

It detects when you are not smiling or, worse, frowning and pinches your neck. Only a proper smile will stop the pain. People respond better to other people who smile.

I am visualizing an absolutely batso Capricorn boss of some bizarre corporation would be ordering these in by the busload. If they were legal.

O.m.g, which sign would want their partner to wear it? I reckon Libra. They hate seeing glum faces about. But only if you have pretty teeth.

Any suggestions as to this couple’s astrological reality and/or status?

My feeling is that he is a Libran checking out a waitress, as they do & she’s a Capricorn trying to figure out if the guy over in the other corner is wearing a fake Rolex or not.

Or he could be a Virgo noting a frayed thread on the sleeve of the huge bouncer, wondering whether he’d mind being politely (of course) informed of this flaw. And she is a Leo looking at her hair in the mirror and wondering if it would be okay to nip out for a quick blowdry. Casino air conditioning really fuqs with her root lift.

Or he is an Aquarius who’s just told the Pisces that their house deposit will be very easy to win back because he has actually been in contact with aliens from Arcturus who have confided an  infallible betting system that will octuple their money. He is trying to remember the random sequential prime numbers chanelled to him in his dreams whilst she is looking for a someone with a phaser gun.

Thoughts?

Venus is in Aquarius so get set to space out. Detached & totally not too clingy is the Zeitgeist and just watch some of those Capricornian relationship ideals get warped by the shift in Venusian paradigm. Out:  Convention. In: New modalities. You know what Aquarius is like. And Venus is also whizzing along to an opposition with retro-Mars (late Jan) & then a tryst with Neptune & Chiron in mid-Feb.

First the romantic weirding (especially so far as men are concerned) & then something magical in February. Venus in Aquarius is also, in general, a good time to scheme rad makeovers in beauty & fashion, clearing well of HAIR, given the Mars Retrograde…

Ponce up thy look to be more you, take and give some space & then prep for fascinating love-sex-relationship manifestations…
