The Libra Test

Are you truly a Libran?

You should be able to tell by the calibre of your response to this image.

A true Libra is spiritually moved and deeply inspired by such images, revowing his/her intention to more mindfully make over their bathroom into a shrine-like sanctuary.

Virgo likes anything to do with cleanliness, yes, but would immediately be turned off or even disturbed by the towels left so casually flung over the bath – surely the bottoms of them is actually IN the water, apparent lack of a shower and possibility of pollen or dirt emitting from the tree feature.

Astro-John Mayer

January 26, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 75 comments

I’ve read a bit of this interview with John Mayer but enough to generally go with the consensus that he does talk a lot about, er, onanism & sound sort of crass raving on re his love life. Why-why-why when he is supposedly a suave Libran male??? Or – as irate e-mailers quite often insist – is there a darker side to the Libran charms?

Mr Mayer is a multiple conjunct Libra – Pluto-North-Node-Mercury-Sun all in Libra. The Sun/Mercury conjunction is a classic indicator of wit & his Twitter is hilarious…but it also squares a pass-agg Mars in Cancer (could be cruel, an almost Tourettes like ability to pop out astute observations at the wrong time) and he’s got Moon-Neptune in Sagittarius…Idealism and stream of consciousness candour…Fab for composition of music & being an Artiste, of course.

I’d bet the crass convo re masturbation & all conceals a man who is deeply connected to the idea of a twin soul or similar…Moon = women & Neptune = yearnings…His Venus in late Virgo squares that Moon-Neptune in Saggo so there you have the trickiness. Part-urge to merge & tantric consciousness/part ready to dump someone for getting split ends or dropping an H.

The Libran Perfumed Garden

Night-Flowering Tuberose (Starflower) Under A Full Moon in Anya’s Garden

So I got sent these gorgeous scent samples from Anya of Anya’s Garden Perfumes.  She makes them all from her garden in Miami, Florida & they’re divine. She has the most brilliant astro-signature for a perfumier:  Sun, Venus and Neptune in Libra, all Rising.

“…One reasoning behind the concepts of StarFlower and MoonDance, and it’s a big reasoning, is that white flowers, typically those that look like stars, always bloom on the Full Moon. The gravitational and tidal pulls are the stimulus, I suppose. If you’re in a garden at night, the magic of the scent draws you in, and even if you squint your eyes, you can still see the white flowers, since they’re the only color flowers that are visible at night. under a bower of jasmine, next to the tuberose bed, it’s as if the stars fell out of the sky – and brought their fragrance to earth.

Also, tuberose’s scent is minimal during the day, becoming more intense at night, overwhelming, in fact.

Cool, yin-type scents are associated with the moon, and the mint opening note of MoonDance leads you down a cool, inward-looking path, with tender rose and chamomile. StarFlower is more fiery, and meant for nighttime wear in the winter, quite yang and sultry and carnal in the drydown. The flower that most looks like a star is the single flowered Tuberose, so that was the muse for both perfumes….”

The Aztecs called it Bone Flower and she was sacred to their Venus. Ancient Hindu peeps knew it as Night Mistress and in many cultures it is considered a powerful aphrodisiac. Tuberose keeps producing scent, even after it is picked, making it the main component of Hawaiian leis. Some say that inhaling the oil of Tuberose improves one’s capacity for emotional depth & the most common symbolism of it is “dangerous pleasures.”

La Luna in La Libra

The Moon is in Libra, nearing Saturn and squaring Pluto…So it’s Libra with a Saturnine edge – scented aplomb (aplomb actually means balanced) & restraint – and Plutonic undercurrents; endings, beginnings, alchemy, clandestine lusts…Don’t let on or out until the New Moon in Sagittarius/Mars-Venus exact trine next week. Smell GORGEOUS. Manners matter. Your secret diary is a sight to behold. And hands up whose dreams are lucid AND lurid. Did I tell you that i had one the other night in which i was giving birth…to myself.

Attention All Librans…How You Doing With Saturn?

December 4, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 94 comments

il_430xN.79899608Dear Libra,

Has it been but a few months since Saturn got into your sign?  Hey, no! It’s five weeks today. And you’ve only got it in your sign until…oh, never mind. Anyway, how has it been? Early-Librans – that is, the September born Libs – ought to notice it first and of course they are also copping the square to their Sun from Pluto.

So, is there a feeling of evolution? Phoenixing? Are you thinking of metaphors along the lines of how diamonds are only forged via intense pressure? Saturn goes Retrograde in Mid-January so there is a feeling of pressure-off then and even more so when he scoots back into Virgo in April. But Saturn is BACK in your sign from July and until Oct 2012.

As you may know, it’s the ultimate in get thy shit together astro-passages. And, btw,  you can search this site as there is loads of Saturn material. Remember the number one Saturn Rule…When-ever and where-ever Saturn is active, you need a plan. Saturn does not respond to law of attraction or creative visualisations.

So Librans and/or intimates of Librans, please share…

I only seem to know Libran men at the moment and THEY are working like fiends, on rigid schedules to manifest success & getting up earlier. They’re off le grog and on carefully calibrated nutritional regimes to even out their blood sugar etc. So they’re doing it by the Saturn book.

Share?  Oh and  note that the stressy Saturn-Pluto square of mid-Nov comes back in late Jan and again in August. The late January square is the kicker as we have Eclipse-Eclipse-Saturn-Pluto Square…So whatever growth action you thought a good idea in November, it’s good to action it a.s.a.p. and seriously, Santa is powerless in the face of Saturn.

Can you IMAGINE a Santa-Saturn dialogue?

SANTA: Ho, ho, ho.

SATURN: I do not tolerate the denigration of women through degrading nicknames. To whom are you referring?

SANTA: No, it’s how I laugh. I’m jolly.

SATURN: What do you have to laugh about? Have you had a trainer check out your hip to waist circumference lately? Have you ever heard of visceral fat?

SANTA: Lighten up Sir, t’is the season of goodwill…

SATURN: I fear you are mis-informed. T’is the season of Saturnalia and it always has been…You are not even a valid Christian archetype, let alone resonating with any of the older themes of this season.

SANTA: Ho, ho, ho – here,  have a candy stick…

SATURN: If  you bring those disgusting, artificially coloured, factory made sugar atrocities anywhere near me, there will be consequences.

Cue Saturn disappearing from mall in flash of thunder and lightening.

Weekend Asteroid Mash-Up

227559Pan – Georges Barbier

Oh well Virgoans are about to go absolutely ape. Not only is Saturn out of their sign so they can go nano-seconds at a time without guilting themselves, they’ve got asteroid Pan (asteroid number 4450) and Dionysus (asteroid number 3671) in their sign with NO Saturn to be a spoilsport banging on about carbs post 6pm, liver function, sane adult relationships and so on. Pan and Dionysus are the good time guys of the Zodiac.

What else…Ceres is close to the Sun in Scorpio…I so need to keep a closer eye on Ceres and in fact, it is one of my 2010 resolutions. Monitor Ceres.

Circe is in late Scorpio squaring Neptune – yay! Psycho-sexual flirtations and bewitchery…Venus, Sappho, Pallas & Saturn all lurk together in lovely Libra – v.good brainiac and thinking weekend if one is  not too distracted by all the pandemonium.  Lilith, Psyche and Pandora join the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding.  There is BIG emphasis on Libra and Aquarius this weekend – high minded relationships, free love and new ideas infusing into everything.

Ishtar is in early Saggo trine – ta-dah! – Mars in Leo.  Hot. The Queen and her Warrior. Primordial life force rules.

November is quite volatile, especially the first two weeks. There are s-loads of Fixed Squares featuring face-offs between planets in Leo, Aquarius and Scorpio.  These alone can feel frustrating. Peeps are infuriatingly obstinate and truculent types get power-trippy. You may have to detach and do thy own thing. Don’t rely on other peeps flexibility or even clarity.

Then again, there is the Saturn-Pluto square. Rather, the first of a series of these things. Saturn and Pluto last interacted in late 2001. It tends to coincide with geopolitically significant events. BUT November is fantastic for growth, initiating reforms and stylish personal evolution. Just don’t go on any powertrips and be super-straight, tranquil and even dull – if you can manage it – mid-month.

Think positivist reconfiguring as opposed to bombastic gestures.

Astro-Beauty: Saturn into Libra Manifestions

October 29, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 38 comments

Libra is classically the sign of beauty, beauty-care and beauty rituals…It’s interesting that a photo-shopping debate is emerging as Saturn goes into Libra. Lunar-Libra that I am, I can see both p.o.vs.  Yes to the unreal expectations such heavy altering of images creates. I felt so sad a while ago when I found my completely pretty & fit 16 year old neighbour with tears welling up in her eyes as she gazed at some swimsuit feature in a woman’s mag.

At the same time,  if i was going to have my fizzog plastered all over the place, i’d love some digital magic to Neptune me up into an other-worldly version of myself.

Anyway, Saturn into Libra naturally requires new beauty rituals and definitely a purge of one’s vanity cupboard. The lipstick museum, hair products that don’t actually work but are being hoarded for their talismanic value, skin cream that makes you break out but cannot be thrown out due to cost of purchase, ye olde bacteria harbouring mascara & all – turfed as your celebration of Saturn into Libra.

Imagine. The cold-hard logic of Saturn Girl and her 22nd Century level telepathic powers applied to your skincare regime etc. Bliss. At the behest of my Aries beautician – she fled the Pinochet Regime in the 70s and had only time to grab her children + make-up,  that’s it – I have  just ordered a silk pillowcase.  Apparently cotton, which feels go gorgeous and cool to lay ones face upon at night, does dastardly things to the face and hair – creating frazzle & crinkles.

This SO fits Saturn into Libra…It is totally cost-effective, practical and yet sort of princessy and elegant. What else could be a rational response to Saturn in Libra so far as one’s beauty ritual is concerned?  It has to be frugal because let’s face it, Pluto is just warming up in Capricorn. And it can’t be all Zen-Hippy mixing up henna and egg shit as that’s more Saggo than Libra.

Dear Libra…The Thin And Rich Transit

October 27, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 25 comments

Over in the Daily Scopes, I have been attempting to reassure Librans about the impending arrival of Saturn in their sign for the first time since 1980 or whatever it is. I am not even bothering to invoke the glorious boundary-setting powers of Saturn Girl.  No. Mars is in Leo and all so i’m going straight for saying that Saturn is The Thin And Rich Transit.

And I am not even lying just to make Librans feel better! Even though that is what they do to everyone else. It is actually the truth. And Saturn, btw, will be in Libra on Thurs in London, America et al and very early AM on Friday in Australia. I expect that it will actually awaken me.

Anyway, Saturn – by very dint of the amazing focus it helps to create & the discipline et al, IS so the Thin and Rich transit. And please, I am not extolling anorexia nor an inequitable capitalist system blah de blah. Simply that Saturn kills your appetite and it makes you SO mega-insanely security and status conscious that you will work your arse off to avoid even a nano-second of insecurity or being looked down upon, whatever.

It’s not just the ramped up work ethic – you don’t want to buy naff crap. It’s like your inner-retail-discriminator goes into hyper-drive.

Not only that – there are some intense work jags such as studying for an exam/writing a book that invariably involve large amounts of ‘reward carbs’ and endless hours sitting on your bum. Infuriating. But with the strong Saturn vibe and Pluto in Capricorn to back it up, there will be self-control exerted at all levels. Yes Libra, you too can waft around looking disdainful at the very thought of chocolate because you actually ate some celery before you came out and besides, you are on a schedule that works to maximise your health, beauty and focus.

You may be bitched up to haute hell & wow will all those peeps who mistook your fluffy charms for weakness get one freak of a fright when you unleash the new boundaries (borders is more like it, with armed guards, the lot) but you will look fantastic and the bills will be paid on time. Read or re-read Capricorn For A Day to get a glimpse into your new life.  Go hard or go  home. Time and Money are on your side.

Libra-Ology

October 15, 2009 in Astro-Cliches, Celeb Fluffery, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 68 comments

opalteardropThe birthstone for Libra is, arguably, the Opal. Why is it arguable? Because nobody actually agrees on the birthstones but, for the sake of today, let’s go with Opal. The Ancient Romans linked it with Cupid/Eros – so that is appropriate for this Venus-Ruled Sign and it had the reputation of warding off both bolts of stray lightening AND grey hairs. Brilliant.  The word Opal comes from the Sanskrit Upala…meaning ‘precious stone.’

wallpapers-magnoliaThe Libran flower is the Magnolia, symbolic of femininity, nobility and perseverance…Their symbol is the Scales – signifying the Libran obsession for perfect balance, aplomb and fairness. It’s also evocative of the Ancient Egyptian idea of the afterlife where the heart/soul is weighed against the feather of Maat, the Goddess of Justice to gauge the truth within.

300px-LibrauraniaThe Constellation is the Scales, obviously & some say it is actually the Scales of Astraea – the Star Maiden aka our Virgo…and that another part of the Constallation is the Scorpion’s Claws…Under this theory, Libra’s perpetual balancing act is actually between the exactitude of Virgo and the passions of Scorp.

luca-veneri-ego-bathtub_2_52

I do not know if the Italian designer Luca Veneri is a Libran or not but her Ego Bathtub (yes, it is called that) is Mega-Libran…made from “organic acrylic” & featuring a waterfall for the ultimate in relaxation and hygiene (Note: The word Hygiene is from Hygeia – the Ancient Greek Goddess of Health) It is about $7000.

Gwyneth Paltrow really ought to rename her GOOP newsletter Libran Lifestyle Tips and I think Catherine Denueve is the Ultimate Libran. She always vibes so languid & elegant yet is – this is classic Libran – devoted to a quietly bourgeois yet libertine lifestyle. Remember, this lot love their comforts but they ARE the free love champs of the Zodiac.
