Weekend Mash-Up, Uranus Retro & Aqua Girl

How was your weekend?!  Mine was excellent though to back to back socialising did in my Sunday & I totally Zen-Slothed.

In my Sunday evening trackies & with my daughter in the suddenly torrential rain, we schlepped past an impromptu Michael Jackson Tribute Street Party – was gorgeous. About 50 people all dancing to really well-mixed MJ. And they were good dancers.  What interested me most is that there were teens through to 60-ish year olds, people who were clearly professional dancers & others who were just picking up on the moves they did at their school formal once upon a time. And the kids krumped.

Uranus is in utter sl0-mo, practically at a standstill, getting set to turn Retro on Weds, just as Venus squares everything in sight. I know I said this last week but – again – it is not a good time to try and control other peeps. Especially Aquarians & Pisceans, also Taurus & Libra…They’re individuating to the max.

It IS a brilliant time to be your own unique yourself, live & let be. Vary your routine. Ditch the obligatory shit – where you can – whilst also honouring the Eclipse-Season Get Real vibe.  The Eclipse (15 Capricorn) is in my 12th  house so my practical resolution is to meditate properly. But remember that the Uranian vibe adds a zany zing to the atmosphere & that not everyone channels Uranian Qi as well as – say -  you or I might.

Don’t bait the crazies. Stay serene & nourish thy nervous system.

My friend Aqua-Girl – who is probably the ultimate Aquarian female in many ways – has announced she is going into “poly-phasic sleep cycling” in the next month. Hence her social availability will be limited and she is totally off coffee and sugar. “A lot of big people do it,” she said breezily. “Richard Branson, Buckminster Fuller…”  I can’t remember the other names.

What it is: you sleep for only two hours a day so that you have 22 hours a day of total productivity. How you do it; You train yourself to sleep – zapping straight into REM – for 20 minutes every two hours. She may or may not use her lucid dreaming goggles during this time. Aqua-Girl sends men crazy. I see it all the time. She has waist length blue black hair and has that sort of archetypal delicate Asian lotus flower look.

But she is a multiple conjunct Aquarian and completely bats. She does nude hiking and surfing, djs, goes straight from a ten day Silence Retreat to clubbing, is an excellent mother to her two daughters & is currently dating a much younger nanophysicist whom she made go to relationship counselling two weeks after they met. Just to tweak a few things.

I think i would go ravingly nuts if I tried polyphasis sleep cycling. I did it by default when my children were babies and it did  not seem to produce the sharpened mind and sudden ability to become an awesomely productive mogul & guru.

Astro-Michael Jackson

Actually, I hate looking at the charts of peeps who have just passed. It feels ghoulish. And then what happens is that if I say anything about – say – his Saturn square, i got panicked e-mails every time Saturn squares a THING in someone’s chart. Suffice to say what I said before; his chart is totally mutable with loads of mutable stuff squaring other mutable stuff – troubled genius & in trouble for a bit – the WHOLE of Pluto in Sagg? – but set off by Saturn-Uranus. Am sure there is other stuff there you could google…

But is not the above clip so poignant? And I have a Michael Jackson anecdote from the 90s that kinda reveals where he was at with the prescription drugs even then. I hate the idea of these amazing people (thinking of Heath Ledger more than Anna Nicole Smith here but maybe even her if she could have pulled out & done an interesting talk show or something) being hopped up by non-ethical doctors.

Okay, a friend of mine was working for a newspaper in Sydney at the time, v.senior, and got to be in the entourage traipsing around after Michael Jackson as he visited the Zoo. I think he’d left his then new fiancee (?) back at the hotel and he + several local boys rounded up for the junket were all meandering around this terribly scenic place.

As they entered the reptile enclosure (very dark, just tunnel with lit-up tanks all through it, containing snakes…you know the drill) my journo friend realised that he’d gotten way behind the main party, whilst taking notes or whatevs. He could hear them chattering far ahead. So striding faster, he rounded a corner and staight into Michael Jackson – this was his mid-90s look, so already v.pale and different looking – who was like ‘no man, it’s fine’ about my friend walking into him.

He was fine as he was completely transfixed and amazed, blissing out by what he was looking at in the tank. He was swaying back and forth, mesmerised, saying repeatedly “it’s so special, it’s so special, it’s soooo special.”

Notepad out, my friend turns to look at what’s in the tank, thinking it would be like a boa constrictor or fancy python…a chameleon maybe – great copy – but it was a tank that had its reptile vacated so it could be cleaned. And what Michael Jackson was rocking back and forward grooving off on was a cleaning rag and bottle of Ajax with a bright red light shining down upon it.

WHICH I can sort of get in a mod-art installation why-not way. But it could also mean he way whacked up on whatever it is, was and may be proven to be. And okay, i try to keep way off such subjects on this blog as it is not a rant-blog BUT has anyone else noticed the seeming increasing amount of vile crimes involving “prescription drugs”..that ought to presumably be better managed & regulated, given that they are legal and all?

I often think this should be the lesson that the mutual reception of Uranus & Neptune are bringing us but maybe not yet. Mutual Reception: Uranus is in Pisces, the sign that Neptune rules. Neptune is in Aquarius, the sign the Uranus rules. Neptune-Pisces have to do with transcendence, compassion & sometimes – drugs, of all ilk. Uranus-Aquarius is radical innovation & sudden flash-forward eureka moments out of a crap old paradigm.

And – yes, Eclipses do seem to have a way about them; i remember most clearly the Eclipse Seasons of September 1997 (Princess Diana, Mother Theresa…the latter a controversial figure i.m.o. but totally a Virgo in that she modest enough to pass in the week of the Diana and so thus not so much fuss made),  July 1999 – John Kennedy Jr…and those poor sisters with him, September 2006…Steve Irwin…

Now – a mega-naff thought: how pleasant for Farrah & Michael Jackson to be perhaps able to commune/chat as they move on? He was more famous & accomplished, she was an icon & important figure of female emancipation – especially emerging out of the 70s, both suffered. I remember the last time i had a really strong Farrah Fawcett consciousness was seeing some story in which both her son and her on-off lover Ryan O’Neal were arrested for ice possession.

And I thought something along the lines of ‘you poor woman’ – VERY difficult to keep your kid off the shit if…

Mars Into Taurus!

Mars is now in Taurus & sticks it out their (Tenacity! Stamina! Guts! Endurance! True Grit!) till mid-July!  Mars first makes a brilliant trine to his liege-lord Pluto  & likewise friendly aspects to Saturn & Uranus but he squares off with Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron. In the olden days, rulers would send extra guards to mind their treasure when Mars was in Taurus. It’s a time when peeps are likely to get way more funny about the money & avaricious + stubborn. Venus gets into Taurus soon too so a lot less of the Ariean pioneering vibe. Reality & practical concerns emerge but it’s a more sensual atmosphere. There’s a sexy Mars-Venus conjunction in Taurus on the weekend of June 20/21 so that will be fun. Bear in mind that if you get into any variety of a fight over the next seven/eight weeks – everyone is going to be real stubborn. Even if you ain’t, don’t expect compromise to be a simple score.
