Grouched Up Aries

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.

Scorpio Moon Waxing…

The Moon’s Scorpionic & so too will the Sun be by Friday…Mars is in Leo till next June – get Martian Bats if you haven’t already – and Saturn has just ten more days to stay in Virgo for now!!! S-Loads of change is afoot & the Scorpio Moon is a brilliant time to emotionally process it all and get to pertinent, striking perceptions with ease. It’s sexy too + metaphysical & a tad power-trippy + the now-building trine from Venus to Jupiter means flirtations or new money biz can expand rapidly out of more or less nothing. The Moon in Scorp and Mars in Leo (anything between Leo and Scorp, actually) always feels a bit like Jungle Energy…don’tcha reckon?  And btw, if the Mutable signs are going to gloat about Saturn getting out of Virgo, that’s awesome but please don’t freak out the Cardinals.

Mutables; Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces – have been affected on and  off by Saturn since late 2007. A bit austere, details-ridden and ancient feeling than they would prefer. Especially Saggo who also  had Pluto for heaps of it.

Cardinals; Capricorn, Libra, Aries, Cancerians…I call the latter Kataka on the Daily Scopes…It is Ancient Sanskrit name for their sign. Sacred Scarab and all that. Cardinals – especially those born early in their sign- are about to get a zap from Saturn…All perfectly for their own good and growth, naturally. All Cardinals should totally have the Saturnalia Confidential...

The Signs Most Likely To Go Ape…

I don’t mean the signs most likely to go ape in general – though they do say Aquarians are most likely to occupy extreme ends of the bell curve between genius and bonkers-ness – but the signs most likely to go ape with this Mars-Pluto-Mercury T-square now forming…Well, the four cardinal signs ought not to be messed with in the next few days. Cross the road or duck into a shop – ANY SHOP  WILL DO – if you see our Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn coming.

Yes of course this could all be fabulously brilliant and cathartic – watch for bust-ups that are  most likely overdue, stunning new initiatives, great ideas/expectations & positive assertive efforts. And yes it’s regenerative. I’m still not going to provoke (ie; converse with) anyone of the above signs or whom is officially “difficult” & i am postponing requests/negotiations et al until Thurs or even better Friday. That way, I am hopefully not part of peeps perceived problem.

Oh and Mars conjoined Pluto at the end of 2008 so ’structures’ and relationships formed then are ‘tested’ now…How authentic are they?

Transit Lounge: Mars

The transits of Mars never passed un-noticed. They’re manifest & in your face.  The other day, when i dinged my head, I was having a Mars transit, for instance. The very same week coincided with the “outing” of open “enemies.”  But BECAUSE I was having a Mars transit, I thought ‘great.’  Better overt than covert. Yes, it all sounds a bit dramatic but fairly classic for any astro-passage involving Mars.  Ditto a short-tolerance for lack of respect, limitations and obstacles.

The upside of Mars???  A LOT of energy that if you channel it effectively can be amazingly productive. The guts to stick up for what is right & to take incisive strategic action, sans waffle or sentiment.

There are two different types of Mars transits – Mars zooms around the place & aspects – say – your Mercury or your Venus. So your talking or your love nature gets ‘Mars-ified’ for a few days. Mars on your Venus is excellent if you’re up for flirtation & new lust opportunities. Mars-Mercury is when you send off a trillion new biz pitches in a day.  And most likely tell someone or other to get effed.

The other type of Mars transit is when your natal Mars is triggered by a passing planet. If this is any planet past Jupiter, it can last for months, maybe years. These are the ones that it is totally worth keeping an eye on. Right now, for instance, anyone with Mars at Zero to five degrees of a Cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) or in the same degrees of Taurus/Virgo is having their Mars affected by Pluto; an awesome unleashing of power: ruthless self-regenerative powers.

Mars is in Gemini and moving to square Saturn (sigh) and then Uranus (yay) over the next few weeks. It will stress out les Mutables the most (Gemini, Virgo, Saggo, Pisces) but everyone gets it a bit…As Saturn and Uranus oppose one another in mid-Sept, Mars triggering both now is actually a really useful prequel of September tensions. No, they need not be tensions. An opposition can also be delightful balance…

Again, it’s about trying to find the ideal state between  honouring Saturn (tradition, work ethic, discipline, corporations, security) and Uranus (innovation, excitement, freedom) without overdoing it either end. Too much Saturn and you’re a moribund drudge. Too much Uranus and  you’re a flake adrift.

Soooo Mars, as is his wont, is basically getting in there early and starting a fight between Saturn & Uranus way before it is even due. The square to Saturn perfects by August 11 and the one to Uranus by the 19th. There are friendly aspects to Mars from the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding so being grounded/sensible (to keep Saturn at bay, stay frugal, organised and humble) even as you self-actualise and do the rad Uranian thing is the way to go…

And of course, once Saturn has opposed Uranus in mid-September, our Mars heads into Leo for nearly nine months. And what does Mars do in Leo?  Acts out & shows off. Bigtime. Unreal if you’re a performer though…

Is Pluto Still A Planet?

July 21, 2009 in Planets by Mystic Medusa | 43 comments

71855001v17_350x350_FrontAmazingly, Pluto has been demoted again.  I find this totally hard to believe. It’s like the planet to watch so far as transits are concerned. When Pluto comes rumbling along to – say – sit on your Venus or your Midheaven for a bit, one notices. Things change. After the 18 months or so of the astro-passage, you look back and realise that you’re now a totally different person. Transformation indeed.

Pluto is right now retrograding way back to where it was in Feb 2008 and then it leaps forward again into a whole new phase in September…Oh and Saturn in early Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn in mid-November. That’s when we’ll get to thrash the Pluto argument out in totality. It’s world order changing stuff & for peeps with things in early Cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn) it’s big shifts for them too.  Always toward more, sigh, authenticity of course.

Is anyone Pluto transitting??? And thus no doubt looking eagerly forward to Pluto going direct in September??? Basically, Pluto has been between Zero and Three Degrees of Capricorn since early 2008. So anyone with stuff at those degrees is Pluto-affected but particularly if you’re an early Cardinal sign.

If you’re really Pluto-struck get Plutonic or an Astro-Query to figure it out or vent your Plutonic merde here in the comments!

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour; Bosses

Okay, without wishing to whip up too many emo issues – whom/what sign was/were your most crappiest and revolting boss figures?  I mean, on the job. I’m self-employed so it’s been yonks since I have had a boss figure as such but when i did, the odd ones were always Aries. Short, hot & up themselves – both genders, although Aries is a third gender all unto itself – don’t you agree?

I think, in a poll i did once, that the “worst boss” came up as Aries, Scorpio and – surprisingly – Gemini.

Capricorn, Libra and Cancerian came out on top as the best. They’re all  Cardinal Signs as is Aries. I.e. Leaders. So how come Aries, also a cardinal sign gets up there in the Worst Boss stakes? I think Caps, Libby-Fleur and the Crab are all good leaders and they’re also fair-minded + they want to evolve and grow themselves so they’re naturally looking for Good Help and they’re going to figure out smart ways to motivate said help.  Thoughts?

Venus Square Pluto

Lol & here we go again with Venus square Pluto.  Due to the Venusian Retrograde, the planet of love, beauty & sexual rapture – also money, but the sort you attract as oppose to earn – squares Pluto three times in a row. And from bolshie Aries. Cardinal squares always initiate. Shit happens. The first was in early Feb, Friday April 3 is the 2nd (but it is building now) and there is a third in early May.

So, look to early Feb for clues as to what is stirring or about to be made manifest. Or simply enjoy. It’s a guaranteed catalyst for all things Venusian; really non-casual astro-weirding. People and their desires are likely to get way more emo than anyone bargained for. Note that Venus is still RETRO so this has to do with ex-lovers and unresolved irks as well.

But, if you can keep away from ranting at ex-peeps and you are not trying to wade through a stagnant swamp of a relationship, then you ought to enjoy Venus-Pluto for the heightened primal passion vibe & hot taboo nature of it. It’s on Friday too – Venus-Day. Day of Frida. Vendredi. Arieans, Taureans, Scorps, Capricorns, Librans and Cancerians are likely to be super wilful, nymho & bossy-boots.
