Diversionary Tactics

March 10, 2010 in Astro-Passages, Moons by Mystic Medusa | 65 comments

Cat People

This Dark Moon-Retro-Mars Business is now making many of us a tad terse….Yes?  It’s only a few more days so I am thinking that the best way through it is for us all to become Cat Peeps.

Any existential thought can be brushed aside in a bout of compulsive grooming, stretching and/or elegant musing upon our next meal. Hunting is not permitted (Mars Retrograde) but gazing at birds flying past and fantasizing about leaping ten metres in the air and stopping the stupid bird mid-squawk with one bolt of feline genius is fine. Isn’t that what cats do?

Other potential diversions:

The Bastardo motorbike from Walz Hardcore Cycles - suggested for Pluto/Uranus transitting people & all strong Mars-Aries types.

Campaigning to have Pluto restored as a proper planet. Saggos usually love a good protest but they may be too sore at Pluto after that 15 year extravaganza of Pluto in their sign. Aquarians would probably enjoy this and they may feel it will gain them some good cred for when Pluto gets into Aquarius in 2024.

Drunk Yoga…Usually the preserve of Pisces & Gemini.

Hanging out in your sofa boat, refusing to take any calls but acting sorta busy. Maybe you’ll call it a Directions Meeting. This would be an Earth Sign thing.  My theory is that, at school, Earth signs were always the ones who never got in trouble, even when they started stuff and managed to always look busy…even when they were shamelessly bunking off.

Soaking in your transparent sided-bath with the gold trimmings & needing only for the maid to periodically pop in to adjust the temperature and pour in more flagons of fragrance, fresh lavender & dead sea salts.

The Scottish Male Virgo Cleaner

January 27, 2010 in Astro-Cliches, Astro-Decor by Mystic Medusa | 62 comments

The Scottish Male Virgo Cleaner is actually how he advertises himself!  He’s in Edinburgh, if you’re interested;

“…I am an experienced Deep Cleaning Specialist. Being physically strong I do not shy away from moving heavy items of furniture to clean in behind them as being Virgo anything other than perfection grinds on me. If you are moving out of a rental property, moving into a house or just need your place gutted, I’m your man!…”

WHAT a brilliant idea. Do you think he’d travel to Australia on sort of a household perfectionist filth purge tour???

I love that he says perfection actually ‘grinds’ on him.  Also, his ad does not say if this is his house or that of his clients. If it is HIS house, then it absolutely backs up what someone was saying below about Virgoans needing to see Earth in their environment. Is this a classic Virgo environment? Is offering to “gut” your house a bit weird or does having your house gutted mean something different in Scotland?  In Australia, where I live, it means to burn out the entire interior. It’s not generally done on purpose.

He says he doesn’t want time-wasters or prank e-mails – the gent wants to WORK – but who wants to e-mail just to try to tempt some Virgoan cleaning tips out of him??? It’s a Virgo Moonwane on Monday – there will be anxiety about the skirting boards no matter WHAT else is going on. A therapeutic cleaning jag awaits us all once the Full Moon in Leo conjunct Mars has her/his way…

Earth Elemental Suggestions: What 2 Do When The Moon Is In Virgo

January 5, 2010 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 39 comments

You know how there is this Earth Sign emphasis at the moment?

And that the Moon is in Virgo?

It’s a fab time to drag thy still sorta in holiday mode bod into the kitchen & figure out some sort of re-stocking the pantry situation.  Ceres (from where we get the word ‘cereal’ in case you did not know) is  now actually in SAGGO…So stocking thy pantry could be turned into a totally rad, bonkers-but-in-a-good-way, Saggalicious style of experience. HOT.

Astro-Chess & the Virgoan Supermodel

Virgo SuperModel Carmen Kass at a chess championship.

I was wondering which signs would excel at chess, if any & whilst researching the subject I found out that the Virgoan Supermodel Carmen Kass, is not only a chess champion but president of the Estonian National Chess League. Her current lover is a Taurean chess champion (both Earth signs, bliss!) and Ms Kass has recently fought for but lost the rights for her native country to host the international Chess Olympics. Germany got it.

Three points:

* Chess goes in and out fashion, does it not? Occasionally a sexy chess playing scene is bunged into a movie? I was MADE to join a stupid chess club to calm me down aged 14-ish (Uranus sextile Uranus is always fun and NO, being made to do a very classical and trad ancient game with RULES is not the best thing for any Uranian transit.) Even the sitting down bit is a problem.  So i ignored all the boring stuff and learned ONE really fancy gambit. Something to do with risking the Queen.

* The Virgoan Supermodel Chess Champion ideal is kind of cool, yes?

* I researched – a bit – the chess champions of the world  and guess what?!!! The last TEN have all been MUTABLE SIGNS: Non-stop Gemini, Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius.  I would have surmised that the Fixed Signs – Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius – would have been more strategic and patient. But there is a total bias toward the Mutables. WHY? Amorality?  Fluidity? Your thoughts?

Astro-Baby; The Astrology Of Family Dynamics

All sorts of fascinating astro-relations show up in families. The ones I notice most often are that children tend to have the same Rising Sign as the Sun or Rising of their parents AND strong synastry (inter-chart aspects) involving the karmic Moon’s Nodes. But the Sun sign relations are fun and useful to observe.  Or even just the Elements.

When I was growing up, one of my first astro-observations were my Water Sign cousins. Five of them – all in one family and with Capricorn parents who did not know WHAT had hit them. The Capricorns worked like maniacs to provide every education, sustenance, comfort & security. They were uber-Earth-signs. The two Pisceans, two Scorps and one Cancerian were all towering blue-eyed tornadoes of drama, seances, romance, intrigue, science fantasy, tears, more drama, passion and apparent inability to live via any known earthly routine what-so-ever. Whether the Water Sign children were refusing to touch money, running away to join the Hare Krishnas, adopting elaborate disguises in which to attend a school they were not enrolled at or breeding ravens in the treehouse, they lived by other-worldly rituals that sent the Capricorns mad.

It helps SO much to know that a Cancerian parent WILL go ape if you dislike the food they cooked for you whilst a Gemini would be more likely to be irritated if you failed to pass on good goss. Or, more elegantly, “useful intelligence.” Try a quick analysis of the Elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water signs) in your family of origin – see if it fits.

Astro-Beauty: Your Own Personal Hippy

Could this be YOU heading out to pick some reishi mushrooms for your new face potion? Or never in a trillion years? I only ask because i just made my own antioxidant body lotion – plain petro-poly-gycol-shit free base with powdered vitamin C stirred in – & then thought Is This Normal?  Or, rather than worrying about norms, is it a throwback to hippy-dom OR the coming thing, part of the craft revolution? Is it an Earth sign thing? And whom cares to share their face D.I.Y. recipes for beauty masques et al.  I once did the egg in hair thing – egg yolk & mayonnaise – but rinsed it off with too hot water so it turned into something akin to an omelette. For a date with a LEO. Yick. Leos trust only brands and billions-of-dollars-funded-laboratories and the word of proper spokesmodels.

Astro-Baby: Elemental Parenting

July 4, 2009 in Astro-Baby by Mystic Medusa | 12 comments

This is a way simplistic but interesting way to think a la astro & parenting. Everyone has a more or less dominant element in their astrological charts. You can see a nifty little table that shows where planets et al are concentrated usually at the bottom of that charts. F for Fire, Air for Air, E for Earth and W for Water.

Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Air Signs; Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Find the dominant element & realise that that simply is your childs temperament. eg; Fire kids need to compete, shine and show off. Water kids want to be left alone in reverie a lot and thrive on music/art style pursuits. But they won’t have remotely the same desire that the Fire sign has to get in there and prove themselves via team work. Earth kids need & benefit from routine, regular eating & sleeping habits + they’re fussy about their stuff. Physical exercise grounds them but it’s not the O.T.T. variety Fire loves. Air children are amazingly easily bored & enjoy loads of mental stimulation, factoids, jokes & quizzes.

These are all obviously generalisations but it’s also fascinating how true they are and how they help peeps understand one another. A Water child WOULD enjoy meditation but it would be fairly fruitless to impose it on an Air child. Fire kids relish a challenge & can put up with the most relentless ‘motivation’ of a batso sporting parent. Air kids will be thrilled at irregular hours and spontaneity but it would make an Earth child morose.

Something to think about?

The Country – Love or Loathe It?

July 2, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 45 comments

wyoming+2

This is not me in the country. South Node in Sagittarius, you understand. Which means North Node in Gemini, which equates to loving the urban vibe.  But seriously, i have no real data on this other than vague astro-cliches re Taureans being naturally bucolic. But, really?  Earth Signs should probably naturally adore the country. Then again, Liz Hurley, whom is a raving Gemini, recently wrote a paeon to heavenly rural life; it’s sexier, it’s cleaner & fabulous service at darling little country delis.  I go bats in the country. I need dinky little cafes, cinemas, gyms, bookshops and a sense of urbane tolerance all around me. A poll – please & don’t hold back…Do you love or loathe the country?Maybe it is a Moon thing?

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour; How Do You Cope With Jealousy?

June 15, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 79 comments

blogart-bellbookcandle5

Do you inwardly seethe & scheme vile revenge even as you project glacial cool???  Emote re your feelings as if in an encounter group? Throw vases? Guilt the person??? Cry in the bathroom at parties?  Text your therapist?  Seduce someone? Or do you believe in the pre-emptive revenge fuq?

Air Signs tend to immediately launch a retaliatory attack with a technicolor display of vibrant flirting & wit.

Fire Signs make scenes or stalk out the second they sense the attention deficit.

Water signs seethe & do the “nothing is wrong” trip but when their revenge comes, it is poignant and possibly out of all proportion to the initial offence.

Unless there is actual evidence of any of what pornography commissioners call the EEE rule (Three Es – Erection, Entry, Ejaculation) the Earth Signs tend to ignore flirting etc as they are so stupendously secure, worldly and perhaps not so stricken with vivid imagination as some.

Astro Sun Sign Query Du Jour; Gardening

June 11, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 106 comments

opt-spade-garden-supplies

Earth Signs & most especially Taurus are meant to be Earth-Angelic at gardening, green-fingered Druidic types able to coax flowery shrubs and magical herbs from even the most arid of soil.  That’s the trad. I tried to research “famous gardeners” for clues but many of them were blessed with fabulous estates, an amazing vision and army of gardeners to manifest it. I am more interested in the amateur home gardener persona;

Are you…

(a) A genius of the garden – you have but to walk forth in beauty & chamomile lawns + gardenias spring up in your scented wake?

(b) A worker bee but brilliant – you have methodically researched the whole thing & your garden, no matter what size, functions appropriately?

(c) Able to scorch even the most hardiest bamboo plant with one withering glance – seriously you can defoliate anything?

(d) Not into staying one place long enough to even give a shit about such a naff question?

(e) Anti-gardens/gardening as bourgeois construct – you care only for Wildcraft and will not eat nor even look at plants that are not official weeds.

Please pick the option above that MOST closely aligns with your stance and add also your Sun, Rising and/or Moon sign so that we may get some data here in the Comments.
