Scorped!

Seethingly intense, vengeful, inscrutable and sexed  up to the max, Scorpios are hard-to-ignore. The sign of Sex, the Occult & Other People’s Money (to name but a few of the associations) is signified by the mental Scorpion (all those kinky stinging rituals as part of mating) AND the noble, metaphysical Phoenix…The ruler of the sign was once Mars (giving our Scorp the vibe of an emo Aries) but is now considered Pluto,  the Lord of the Underworld & part-time husband of Persephone.

Scorps are singular people. Whatever their archetype, they’ll manifest it flagrantly. I met a stunning Scorp Ski Champion  – female- when i was 19 and she was not much older. She was passionately promiscious – she had a BOOK in which she kept note of her conquests & their foibles; obsessed with investing in the stockmarket & adept at quadrupling small amounts of money via intensive studying of the business news etc…obsessively groomed, like a cat & even if she had been up until 3am the previous evening, would arise every morning to watch the sunrise and do her stretchings.

Seduced by, employed by, befriended by, loved by,  hated by a Scorpio – have you ever been Scorped?

Go The Singularity!

Well, I love that the Ancient Mayans aced the Venus cycles absolutely yonks ago – without telescopes et al, they figured that the Morning Star & the Evening Star – Venus a.k.a. Xolotl – were the same planet, even though appearing on different sides of the sky.

But so far as the future goes, I’m  backing Ray Kurzweil,  a futurist, entrepeneur & mathmatician who says we are about to experience a fabulous & mind-boggling event known as The Singularity.  I was reading a profile of the gent this morning & I knew within nanoseks that he is an Aquarius.  Even apart from The Singularity, all the Aqua indicators were there…

* He invented a program called FatKat – Financial Accelerating Transactions from Kurzweil Adaptive Technologies – that plays the stockmarket for him so that he has more time for other projects. He also invented an automatic poetry generator called the Cybernetic Poet. He has a part-time employee purely to manage his vitamins and nutritional supplements. He is currently working on nanobots that will be injected inside the body to extend human lifespan. Has not consumed sugar for decades but drinks red wine daily, for the reservaterol.

And yah! He is Aquarius – Feb 12 1948 so also with Saturn-Pluto in Leo & Uranus trining his Aqua Sun.

I can’t quite grok what The Singularity is all about…only that amazing technology will be harnessed for the good of ALL – ie; feed the whole world & revolutionise all that ails us now. This would, of course, be a wonderful manifestation of innovative Uranus in gung-ho, pioneering Aries, Pluto in Capricorn & Neptune in Pisces….All of which is upon us soon.

So, next time someone grizzles to me about the Mayans, 2012 movie et al – I shall say ‘but what about The Singularity?’ and be done with it.

Pluto in Capricorn & the G.F.C.

G.F.C. for Global Financial Crisis sounds vaguely unwholesome. Too much like K.F.C. Has anyone got a more evocative term?

Anyway, Alan Greenspan backing bank nationalisation in the USA feels super-revolutionary. Forced growth indeed. Am not trying to turn this into an economic-political blog at ALL but this is radical & Pluto is only, i don’t know, TWO degrees of Cap right now.

My son was telling me last June that he’d met some financial planner some place who said there would never be a recession for all these reasons. And I said, with all my astro-authority that come December (Pluto into Capricorn) there would be the beginning of a recession/depression/financial shite unlike any we had ever seen before. And he was like “Woah, you sound like some scary soothsayer dude…” But, yah.

And then the other day he asked when it would get better – the G.F.C. – astrologically. And the first thing that came into my mind was that the actual trending  upward again, post-reformation et al would most likely be when Uranus went into Taurus  & began to trine Pluto…”So,” said my son, brightening, “is that soon?”  He trusts Taurus energy, has it rising and thinks every Taurus he knows “really has their fuqing shit together.”

“2018,” I said. “BUT,” I had to add this whilst running after him. “But Neptune in Pisces sextiles from January 2012 and that could be really good.” He looked really doubtful. “It’s still a long way away….And isn’t Neptune drugs and artists?”  He listens! Finally i said that i think it will improve when Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) goes Direct in May. He rolled his eyes. “Is there anything next week?”

The Astro Of Bernie Madoff

January 30, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-Passages, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 8 comments

From my Mercury-in-Ariean skimmings of mags/news, if there were one person to pin the current fiscal shitfeast on, it would be Bernie Madoff, banker to the extremely wealthy.  If you are not familiar with his story, this article here quicky explains how a former lifeguard who started on Wall St in 1960 with $5000 wound up pulling off the ‘largest investor fraud in history.’ Yet he helped to invent the technology that later became NASDAQ, he concocted all sorts of pioneering stockbrokering whizzery. If you read his Wiki or the article above, the consequences & blow-back of this are just staggering.

So I’m reading all this guff, going W.T.F. is this guy’s chart like. It’s like he is Darth Vader. I mean, he starts out good & innovative, some kind of genius with lucre, he’s a dad, loving husband & major force for philanthropy and then – voomp – a criminal under house arrest apparently, which is probably a good thing for him given the sorts of people he’s pissed off. In one thing i read, it said a whole Arab state is down $400 million. Another mentioned Russian oligarchs. Then there is Kevin Bacon. Yes, also affected.

Okay, so his birthdate is April 29 1938. No time. He is one of the last of the Pluto in Cancer generation, who were a stoic lot, born after the dreadful holocaust of W.W.I and into a depression et al.

He’s a Taurus with Uranus conjunct his Sun. So, a Uranian with the energy straining to express itself via the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus. Venus sextiles Pluto. Most seriously wealthy peeps have some sort of strong Jupiter-Pluto signature. He has them quincunx. Jupiter in Aquarius also squares Venus in Taurus and his Nodes. That’s a bit of avarice but he took it way O.T.T.

Neptune in Virgo makes NO bigtime aspects that i can see from a chart sans birthtime – with the birthtime, he’s gotta have some Neptune action going on. He got discovered as SATURN went over his Neptune in Virgo – i’m thinking it’s his midheaven & he’s Sagg rising. His Mars is in tricky old Gemini…Oh and he was born under Retrograde Mercury…

Mercurial Bats Headline 2: Did David Bowie Cause The Credit Crunch?

Did David Bowie Cause The Credit Crunch? from the Daily Mirror is definitely the next best Mercurial Bats -Retro-Mercury In Aquarius headline after the Robbie Williams UFO hunting one.

Bowie is another one of those super-charismatic & transmitting-direct-to-the-collective-consciousness Neptune Rising types a la Marilyn Monroe. He is a Capricorn (Sun, Mercury and Mars conjunct) with Moon in Leo but has Neptune Rising in Libra sextiled by Pluto.
