Jeanne D’Arc

January 6, 2010 in Astro-Fiends, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 28 comments

Jean Seberg as Joan/Jeanne of Arc

Some say that today is the birthday of Jeanne D’Arc (or as the British who executed her would  have it, Joan) and others – such as Astro-Databank – prefer the birthdate of January 15. Either way, she was certainly a Capricorn, rising from her peasant birth to become a religious and military leader, icon, martyr & finally saint…And all as a teenager. Poor thing.

I love what the Gemini novelist Francoise Sagan said of her: “I always believe things are going to work out. Every time I see a film about Joan of Arc I’m convinced she’ll get away with it. It’s the only way to get through life.”

The major astro in the Astro-Databank chart? Mars, Uranus & the North Node in Aquarius opposed by Lilith in Leo & trining Pluto + Saturn.  Major visioneering and belief in manifest, utopian destiny with that lot…Neptune opposite Mercury…voices? Delusions?

Quick question for the Astro-Fiends: Does anyone have Neptune in tight aspect to Mercury & how do you experience it? Ghosts? Dreams? Visions? I have them in quincunx & it can be very interesting but erractic. eg: excellent e.s.p. but not on call.

Astro-Ryan O’Neal – Astrological Prick Indicators?

August 4, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 49 comments

PG484

Yo, Find-My-Goddess dude, all is forgiven!  Okay, Ryan O’Neal seems like an abject prick. Having a background in journalism, i tend not to judge peeps being slagged off in the media, as i know how easily they can be stitched up, taken out of context etc. But the Daily Mail’s “I Chatted Up My Own Daughter At Farrah Fawcett’s Funeral” article on Ryan O’Neal is SOMETHING ELSE.

It is short & basically a pithy little summary of the Vanity Fair piece out soon but YICK.

So, okay, I whip up  his chart and go looking for astrological prick indicators (A.P.I.) and voila – the classic afflicted Mars. Ladies and male gays, take note. The “afflicted” Mars is the classic astro-omen of trouble when you are looking at men. Not all men with a trickily aspected Mars are difficult pricks with drugs or violence issues but plenty are.   PLEASE don’t e-mail me to defend your precious snookums who has never laid a hand on you excepting for tantric sex at which he excels and he always puts the rubbish  out sans complaint. I am just saying that in SOME cases, a man with Mars square his Saturn, Uranus, Pluto or Neptune can be a piece of work.

Ryan O’Neal is a multiple conjunct Taurus. He has Sun Venus at Zero degrees Taurus so there is sex appeal, beauty and charm for sure, prob v.strong before dissipated. And so Sun, Venus, Lilith, Part  of Fortune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus ALL In Taurus and all in the 11th house. Which gives him a strong Aqua-Uranian flavour. So he is a multiple conjunct Taurus + it’s squaring his Mars and Moon in Aquarius…So he’s a Fixed Square in motion. Could be a saint, of course, but also immense frustration & could alternate between cloying neediness/control freakery and Aqua spaciness/don’t fence-me-in OR ELSE.  Just to add to the fixed square theme, he’s got squares from Pluto in Leo as well.

And he’s got Neptune all over his Aqua-Moon this  year & next so now what? MORE Neptunian substances??? He could claim to be in touch with Farrah Fawcett from the Other Side and try to set up a church. Neptune-Moon can be super-spiritual and awakening but given the Daily Mail story above, I am not confident of this guy’s form. Seriously read it!

And, given the massive conflict between Taurus & Aquarius in this guys chart, what could have done (or do!) to create a better expression of it???  He’s Cancerian Rising so parenthood could have been his salvation. But, well, hitting on your daughter at your lovers funeral AND introducing another child to drugs – allegedly – would be an odd form of it, no? Poor Farrah.

Astro-Query: Whom Would You Have To Your Seance?

July 11, 2009 in Astro In Books, Astro-Fiends, Astro-Passages, Astro-Query, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 92 comments

Luis Bunuel

Let me clarify the query: You are having a Seance & have somehow managed to be assured of a top-notch guest list. The presence of ONE passed on A-lister is guaranteed…Whom would you choose???  Mine would be the surrealist writer & film director Luis Bunuel. His autobiography My Last Sigh is one of my all-time fave reads.

He was Sun Sign Pisces with Neptune Rising in Gemini. Neptune Rising or otherwise prominent is so often found in the charts of great & influential cinema luminaries. It is also the astro-signature of a mystical and artistic calling. His Mercury in Pisces squared Pluto in Gemini; hence ability & compulsion to go sex-death-occult muckraking in a way that revolutionised movies. Uranus, Jupiter and North Node conjunct in Saggo/6th House. So, 6th House being what you do for ‘a living’ and to serve society he was destined to innovate it somewhat. If one is gonna get all karma-goo-goo over this, his 12th House South Node would indicate a sage who had reincarnated with the specific purpose of advancing society. His Mars in Aquarius (more iconclasm) is conjunct the Midheaven (drive to fame) and trine Neptune (he liked to get out of it but productively so)…

In April 2011 Neptune crosses Luis Bunuel’s Midheaven and what’s the bet there will be some interesting secrets or new work of his discovered?

Anyway, whom would YOU invite?

Miss Piggy & Kermit Are Highly Compatible

March 24, 2009 in Astro In Books, Astro-Fiends, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 9 comments

Miss Piggy & Kermit are highly compatible – they really are. Taking their birth-dates, as one does for toons, to be their first appearances, we have Kermit born on November 10 1969 and Miss Piggy on October 18 1974.

She is a multiple conjunct Libran and she looks it: Sun, Venus, Mars, Uranus and Pluto all together in Libra and yet squared by Saturn. She has also the Moon and Mercury (retrograde in Scorpio) trined by Jupiter…hence her idiosyncratic and yet forceful self-expression. One moment feminine mystique and the next a wanna-be martial artist. Neptune conjunct her North Node suggests a genuine pull toward performance and the arts.

Note that her big screen debut was when Pluto crossed this point.

Kermit has his Scorpio Sun on her Mercury – she totally gets him, despite the species difference. Their Venuses are conjunct and his Mars is trine her Pluto, also his Jupiter on her Sun-Venus. This is an OTT sexual coupling as well and his avant-garde Mars in Aquarius would be actually turned on by the differences between them, not minding the non-trad Frog-Pig thing + the height difference.

Neither of them have much Earth in their charts and so together, they could be utterly impractical. And yet so thrillingly and amazingly compatible.

Genius Anew

In Ancient Rome, the genius was the guiding or “tutelary” spirit of a person, or even of an entire gens, the plural of which was ‘genii’[6]. A related term is genius loci, the spirit of a specific locale. A specific spirit, or dæmon, may inhabit an image or icon, giving it supernatural powers. A comparable term from Arabic lore is a jinn, often Anglicized as “genie”….Wikipedia

Genius strikes anew sometime soon – as Mars meets Chiron!  In Aquarius! The future is here and it looks like fun. Be prepped to grok it as it happens….Friday lunch (lol) in Sydney, Thursday night in the Northern Hemisphere…And a new cycle of thought and action begins.

Mars, Chiron & Neptune on the Eve Of A Full Moon with Venus Retro

Ingres – The Dream Of Ossian

Imagine Mars as a spunky warrior archetype having to slow his brisk march down to an amble through Aquarius. His favoured soundtrack of (let’s say) Ride Of The Valkyries switched to something complicated, jazzy and intellectual. Instinct, guts and stamina declared 2nd rate to the cerebal ponderings of our Aquarius.  Mars is not so happy in Aquarius but the war-lordly one (ruler of soldiers, sports-folk, athletes, crusaders, whistle-blowers, Arieans, Scorps heated lovers, men and fighters of all persuasion)  will loathe it even more having to swim through Pisces from mid-March.

What is there to look forward to for Mars??? Mars will travel through Aries (yay) from late April, then there will be a stay in at-least-shit-gets-done truculent Taurus, some skitzing about in Gemini (“I said I’d what?) an unspeakable trip thru emo-crabby Cancer and then – bliss – months and months in Leo. Yes, due a retrograde Mars is going to be in Leo for yonks.

But first – this Friday  and then next week – Mars meets Chiron and Neptune.  Chiron on the Friday & Neptune on the Sunday – the latter colouring the weekend. Mars & Chiron have been conjoining every second March (ish) for a while.  Mars is the Warrior & Chiron the Sacred Sage who trained warriors. He is about maverick courage. So this conjunction is a fantastic opportunity for flair to be added into your current quest, whether it be something high-faluting, a fitness jag or wilful effort to get over something/someone.

Think the blessing of sudden wisdom and/or an unexpected but good development. It also starts a new cycle of courage & growth. Think bk to March 2003, 2005 and 2007 for clues.

Mars-Neptune is something else again. It colours the whole weekend. It can be Mars energy stimulating visionary creative energy, dreams and spiritual awareness….Very Aragorn with Gandalf in vibe.

Or Mars with Neptune can be hell-bent dipsomania jag compleat with cuckoo tequila-texting, stupid ideas and stream-of-consciousness crap scrawled on napkins…Remember that as you’re scheduling in your Sat nite, especially with retro-Venus evoking the ghosts of Ex-lovers & the Full Moon provoking some version of rebellion.  So…Mars-Neptune can also be this…

Taurus Moon Versus The Aqua-Weirding

March 2, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Moons by Mystic Medusa | 2 comments

meditation

The Moon changes sign every two and a half days but attuning oneself to the current Moon sign is a fast way to feel good & at peace with the world. Ditto doing your own Moon sign, if you know it.  For example, right now there is a whole heap of astro-activity in Aquarius – the Aqua-Weirding & it’s amazingly inspirational + high-faluting. But to balance things, get with the Cow-Vibe: Meditation, serenity, nourishing thyself, peaceful & balanced, somehow taking time for Zen-Sloth. Bodywork is totally Taurean Moonie.

Robin Gibb’s Pluto Transit

February 12, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 20 comments

Robin Gibb, from ye old Bee-Gees days.

It’s such an iconic look, it truly is.

For those of you that don’t trawl thru sleb crap as I tend to on occasion, Robin Gibb is an ex-Bee-Gee & v.wealthy Saggo muso. His extra-marital antics (fathering a baby with his way younger housekeeper) prompted the fabulous Daily Mail headline: Straying Alive. The story is bats.

Mr Gibb was born on Dec 22 1949 & that particular year the Sun went into Capricorn on the 23rd. Odd then that his wife, who says she is a Druid Priestess and also born on the 22nd of December, refers to him as ‘a Capricorn’.  And she wear a leopardskin coat. I don’t care if it is fake. Surely a druidess does not wear leopardskin??? It would be way better if she has a gigantic leopard as he companion animal, non?

From the Daily Mail article:

“Mrs Gibb, 56, a poet and playwright, had a strict Catholic upbringing in Kilskeery, Northern Ireland.

The former lover of a pornographic film director, David Waterfield, she has been a devotee of various religions and once proclaimed herself as a druid priestess.

In recent years, she has been a member of a Hindu sect called the Daughters of Brahma, whose members are meant to be celibate.

A friend of the couple said: ‘It’s an incredibly unusual arrangement.

‘At first, Dwina was happy for Robin to sow his oats because it allowed her to stay committed to her Brahman beliefs, but she never expected him to actually plant his seed, as it were.

‘Incredibly, Claire (Claire Yang, the housekeeper) continued to live at the family home as her pregnancy developed. When the truth came out, Dwina was furious. To say she hit the roof is an understatement.”

Okay – he IS a Saggo but she is born – if the date is correct – on Dec 22 1952. So SHE is a Capricorn. Fancy claiming as a fellow Cap, which she does in this article…This may be part of the problem. Anyway, he has Venus in Aquarius trine Neptune/South Node in Libra..SHE has Venus in Aquarius at the same degree with Mars and conjunct the North Node. She’s more the Aquarian avatar & blazingly forward-thinking, clearly trying to have this pioneering open druidic marriage going on.

So anyway, Jolly Jupiter ploughs over their mutual Venus in Aquarius & you’d think it would be great but wham – he goes and gets the housekeeper up the duff & then calls a press conference to claim it is a gift from heaven. Jupiter is always excessive. Always a little bit more than even a Capricornian-triple-Aquarian Druidess who wears leopardskin coats would predict.

This rant, airily throwing in Absolutely Fabulous, Cherie Blair & the Anti-Christ + how the happy couple met is even battier. It makes me feel sensationally bourgeois & sedate.  And, Mr Gibb has been having a Pluto-Sun transit for the last few years. First the death of his twin brother & now this…


Aquarius Confidential

Blasto, my fave (discontinued) playstation game.

So Saturn opposed Uranus and all I got was this bad temper. Mind you, is also as p.m.t. + lovely Seven jeans feel tight-as. Thank you, jelly snakes and Jupiter nearing my Ascendant. But i’m onto it.  Am tuning into Saturn-in-Virgo: no tricks, no stupid food rules, just movement & ye olde willpower to not eat stodge.

Anyway, Aquarians. Especially the men: You guys now have Mars in your sign till March 15. So, whilst Arieans go all sooky-goo-goo and start drifting around pondering belly-jewels to make their navel-gazing even more fulfilling, reading Rumi & getting themselves caught up in (eek) conflicting, mysterious and yet alluring emotional merde – AQUARIANS are going to be like the new Arieans. Yes. Mars was last in Aquarius from late Feb to early April 2007.  But this time the planet of war, lust, ambition and energy is hyped by Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune and the North Node also in Aquarius.

So, Aquarians are going to be out of their (already avant-garde) minds, horny, militant and seething with megalomania. Lots of high-faluting inventive new schemes will be floated in the next few weeks. And, where-ever Aquarius is in your chart, is where all the action is and you can access Mars-energy. Oh, and the last time Mars was in Aquarius, Saturn was still opposing in Leo – in some cases, ideas that simply could not fly for whatever reason back in early 2007 will now be at least vaguely bouyant again.  So, Aquarians; Go forth and invent. If temper tantrums get too much for glacial you – channel the spaz into martial arts, the gym or even more reinvention. Meditation is probably a good idea but isn’t it only really Taureans and Scorpios who are any good at it??

Valkyrie For Astro-Fiends- A Super-Scorp

January 19, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-History, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 9 comments

The Tom Cruise movie of Valkyrie is, as I am sure you know, based on the German aristocrat Claus Von Stauffenberg, who was executed for conspiring to assasinate Hitler. He was amazingly brave & committed + apparently highly charismatic…I got a huge crush on him when studying the story at high school. This is from the Wiki…

“…Stauffenberg was aware that by German law he was about to commit high treason. He openly told young conspirator Axel von dem Bussche late 1943: “Gehen wir in medias res, ich betreibe mit allen mir zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln den Hochverrat…” (“Let’s be blunt, I am committing high treason with all my might and means….”).[12] He justified his project to Bussche by reference to the right under natural law (“Naturrecht”) to defend millions of people’s lives from the criminal aggressions of Hitler (“Nothilfe”).

From the beginning of September 1943 until 21 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg was the driving force behind the plot. His resolve, his organizational abilities, and his radical revolutionary approach put an end to inactivity caused by doubts and long discussions on hitherto military virtues made obsolete or not by Hitler’s behavior….”

His chart (November 15 1907) is fascinating.

He is a Scorpio with his Sun conjunct Mercury trined by Saturn in Pisces and squared by Mars in idealistic Aquarius. Saturn squares Pluto in Gemini which trines the Mars.

And – get this O Astro-Fiends – Von Stauffenberg had Uranus conjunct the South Node and Neptune conjunct the North Node, in Cancer. Even when it became apparent that the plot would likely fail and all involved be executed, he cared desperately that the world know not all Germans supported the Nazi regime. He loved his mother country.
