Many Mansions

Hey it’s the Dark Moon already.  How did that sneak up?  Oh well. The Dark Moon right before a major New Moon (another Eclipse but way  more about bold  new beginnings & less emo than that New Year Full Moon shitfest) is always extra-dark.

You power on through it by not ducking you own neg-feelings as they pounce up AND looking after thyself. Not the time to go cane it in a post-Chrissie re-tox or perform a bonkers back-to-the-ex-stunt to celebrate Mars Retrograde. No-no-no.

Everything is new again from the middle of January, you can’t go back so don’t even try. As you know, cull in the Dark Moon & rest when you can.

Eros is nearly on the Zero Degrees of Aries Point – yay – primordial desires can be tres motivating, yes?

And no matter where you are in the world, the Moon will be in Scorpio for the entire weekend. V.potent, spooky & to be treated with respect. I’m thinking it will be a bit more productive than this Libra Moon. I keep compulsively applying handcream and trying to scent things.

It may not seem like much is happening on the outside but there is a lot of transformational qi churning away, readying itself to manifest after the New Moon…

Remember also that the only thing in Fire right now is Mars & he’s RETROGRADE! You have to create artificial Fire via exercise and really batso, over the top but brilliant Aries-style (think Ramzilla on a motivational bender) pep talks to yourself.

Grounded

Virgo Astrology Mandala – Serpent Mandalas

Sun, Moon, North Node, Mercury, Venus & Pluto all in Earth signs…We’re kind of getting grounded again & I mean that in a good way…Don’t resent the Earth energy – use it! Build, nourish, garden, augment etc. There will be shitloads of Fire energy once Uranus gets into Aries later this year. Oh and Jupiter too…So you’ll appreciate the foundation strengthening & humble pragmatic, work ethical vibe of now…then. Do I sound too woo-woo? Still getting over that dratted Eclipse & un-toxing.

The Galactic Suites: Which Sun Sign?

November 5, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 63 comments

Here is one for travel-one-upping Sagittarians!  The Galactic Suites will be open for guests in 2012. IF they can keep their funding flowing in. Space hotels are v.expensive, as you can imagine. It will cost about $4 million a week or something to stay there. So, no backpackers.There is some anonymous billionaire space travel enthusiast who has already tipped in $3 billion.

And, okay, I may be wrong about the Sagittarians…I should not astro-cliche them such. But, okay, apart from Richard Branson (Pluto in Leo Rising, Jupiter in Pisces trine his Cancerian Uranus, interesting) I cannot see Cancerians stampeding to stay at a Space Hotel. Or anyone sensitive. I mean, wouldn’t it sort of revoltingly combine agoraphobia AND a bit of claustro? If some mysterious trillionaire shouted you a week at Galactic Suites, would you go? I wouldn’t. But I have Jupiter in Taurus/4th House. Tres earthed.

I reckon Fire Signs would totally go. Leo would send the space shuttle pilots mental by carrying on with his space travel tips. Libra would go if there was a the-Zero-gravity-of-space-has-sensational-complexion-refining-benefits. Gemini? Yes. And then they would attempt to become the first person (?) to have sex in space or something. A Virgo in space is an AMAZING thought. I swear, even in totally sterile, airlocked conditions, the Virgo would find a scuff mark and try to send off a helpful memo about altering the style of space boots used.

Scorpio -it would depend on the variety of Scorp. If it did not trigger any violent aversions,  yes. Capricorn – absolutely, think of the status, the opportunities for advancement and the networking. O.m.g. the NAME dropping. “Yah, well when I was at the Galactic Suites, the other day, Bill and I agreed that there was really nothing like the view of Arkansas from space…”

So I am thinking El Toro, Kataka and Pisces – absolutely not.  Aquarius??? Naturally.  Aqua-Girl is BOUND to be already working her contacts. She is probably hooking herself up with a job there.

Arieans Love Mars in Leo More Than Anyone

Age shall not weary the Aries gent. Especially not when Mars (ruler of men and Arieans and stupid stunts that nonetheless look cool) is in flamboyant Leo. This is Elton John performing in Barcelona as Mars crosses his Saturn and Pluto in Leo.

Mars In Leo Musings Just In

October 19, 2009 in Astro-Query, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 71 comments

“Dear Mystic,

On Friday (NYC time) my boyfriend and I suddenly and very calmly broke up. Both of us had felt this really awful uneasy feeling the day before…like something was somehow wrong. He is pretty much my astro opposite (a virgo sun with pretty much everything else in libra) and were basically, as cheeseball as it sounds, the perfect pair. We are still best friends and we still feel 100% the same way we did before we broke up, which is a bit odd.

So anyway, the first 24 hours or so after the split I was MISERABLE..on the couch of despair! I couldn’t do anything to make myself feel better…I literally cried myself into a migrane!

Then suddenly, as Mars started moving into Leo, I just SNAPPED out of it and literally said to a friend “I am NOT the type of girl who should be sitting at home being sad”. I went straight to a hockey game, which is funny because prior to this relationship I was notorious for dating pro athletes…esp Hockey players…

I should also point out that prior to this relationship is was ALSO known for cheating, but this time I had never even THOUGHT about straying from my partner.

So anyway, since mars has been in Leo I have been off the wall BOY CRAZY…not relationship-crazy, but that ‘on the prowl’, hunter-esque, hook up for sport kind of boy crazy. Like intensely so.

Oddly though, I’m still 100% in actual love with my now ex…so it seems like this break-up was actually perfectly timed, because otherwise I would be very very inclined to cheat, which would destroy the trust and friendship (though confusing) that we still have.

Oh and my hair is FABULOUS! People keep complimenting it, but I haven’t done anything different to it at all.

Very Best,
Fire Sign Rising Pisces …”

Astro-Beauty; Are You A Scrubber?

August 20, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 50 comments

il_430xN.45334072Wise Woman Exfoliating

That thing above is $5 from America, hand-made, super-natural organic and she apparently blesses it with some Reiki or whatevs. I am literally typing this post and then going to get one as i am such a scrubber. Always have been & unlike many an addiction this is only getting more pleasant with time.

Exfoliating the body with a proper glove, loofah and or scrubs has an insane amount of benefits from boosting the lymph, fuqing over cellulite right thru to hyped Qi & mood. The benefits of skin-brushing are all over the net – it’s like the most ludicrously cheap (cost of one hemp glove a la the above and/or a brush) but beneficial thing ever for health, mood and skin beauty…I have so been reading the same thing on and off since i was about 12. And as i have Moon in libra i read a LOT of this stuff – I stand in bookstores, speed-reading (Mercury in Aries – remember) for sex and complexion tips.

BUT who actually does the incredible and always recommended by supermods, renowned beauties, cool types, alien naturopaths etc skin brushing?  I think Libra & Pisces DO collect exfoliants – i KNOW the Fire signs (Aries, Leo & Sagg) don’t think about exfoliating nor even understand it. Maybe i have gone too far with this but i use gloves, loofah, scrubs and a brush. I alternate the scrubs depending on mood…I used to think scrubs didn’t matter -technically  you could just grab some brown sugar or celtic salt and do it – but i was given some L’Occitane scrub gunk & it was fuqing unreal – grotty elbows & knees looking like  heaven, general glow and the gritty sense of  a good scrub.

Are you a Scrubber and if so, which sign are you?  Which Venus sign? Which product recommendations or – my suspicion – is the truth that simple hardcore glove scrub things a la the above work best – no product needed, just ye olde style elbow grease?  I do think – and this sounds thunderingly Virgo but it’s true – that a lot of people over-moisturise really dry skin with chemically laden products that make the situation worse. When what’s required is more like more oils in their diet, proper exfoliating so the dead cells don’t clog the complexion and then some organic oils…Slathering your body in chemical shit should not be the answer to anything, let alone skincare.

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-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?

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: Parties

May 13, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 44 comments

Actually, this is more about the Elements; Fire, Air, Earth & Water.

My theory is that the Fire Signs charge in shrieking shitloads of darlings and/or doing hale & hearty guffaws, slapping peeps on the back. Then after a bit of bragging, they’ll insist on dancing and have no probs tearing up rugs or furniture if it gets in the way of their moves.

Earth Signs care more for the food, drink & music component of a gathering and if peeps aren’t getting enough to eat, an Earth Sign will front the host/hostess about it. Ditto if they think the plants need watering or there is an issue with the catering. They also like to check out the decor.

Air Signs like to put on a dazzling display of their Power of Glib, do some info-brokering, network, tell jokes and gossip. If there is nobody interesting enough for them to talk to, they’ll sulk and it doesn’t matter how lavish the surroundings or fab the food etc.

Water Signs are all about the emo & pulling. Shortly after arrival they will be holed up in the corner hearing someone’s completely lurid confession, nodding tearily at the details and/or holed up in the bedroom getting to know their latest conquest.

This is totally off the top of my head. Fair cop or utterly inaccurate raving astro-cliches?
