Lindsay Lohan – It Was All Because Of Her Clutter

February 5, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 29 comments

Astro-Cliche or not, Crab-Peeps are the WORST clutterers and hoarders. They cling tenaciously to even the most naff bit of memorabilia, clearly inappropriate clothing from centuries ago and non-needed administrivia. And I ADORE Cancerians but this trait irks my Mars in Virgo. So now it seems that Lindsay Lohan is to get her apparently hideously cluttered home uncluttered on American television.

Despite all the allegations, craziness, non-knickers-wearing, dionysian revels, flake stuff, I still love LL. Okay, mostly because of Mean Girls, which was a long time ago. But wouldn’t it be unreal if the big clean-out helped to fix her life up? That image above, btw, is of her bedroom.  Lindsay has a hardcore Mars in Capricorn with Pluto gliding up to conjoin it in a few years time. There ain’t nothing like a Pluto-Mars transit for streamlining your life and getting thy merde together.

Cindy McCain’s Neptune Transit

January 21, 2010 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

Well I think it’s kinda cool that Cindy McCain, an iconic right wing figure whose husband is officially anti-gay-marriage, can come out so blatantly in support of NOH8 - a group promoting the rights of gay people to be married if they want to.  There are heaps of Republican women who’d look to her as their WASPy role model & think that if Cindy says something is okay, than maybe it just is?

Apart from being Mrs McCain, she’s a Taurean Heiress & amateur pilot…her Taurus Sun is currently being squared by Neptune and Chiron but it’s the Neptune mind-bender that’ll go on the longest. It is ongoing for two years from now and it hasn’t even kicked in properly yet. Neptune-Sun can dissolve long-held rigidity & definitely be an awakening of compassion, new values and psychic powers.

I reckon she’s going to really go with this in a fantastic way. Neptune-Sun can mean you lose yourself but she also has Pluto coming up on her Capricorn Mars: Guess who’s empowering herself and experiencing a primal, almost libidinal urge to regenerate and use her powers? It’s a bit of a strain on the key relationship in her life, obviously. Her husband is  20 years older than her & may not like the idea of a political wife going off-agenda and in full media view. This is clearly a defiant gesture. Oh and he’s a Virgo.

Oh well, if anything happened to the marriage as a result of this, she’s clearly v.eligible. She’s looking good and her $300 million + personal fortune is from a beer company.  Whilst I am on my political bingle – there is another American Republican – Aquarius, female and who ran with Cindy’s hubby in the last election that Obama won and SHE is vehemently against gay marriage. I reckon Palin would be going ape at this…

Happy Birthday James Bond…

“The birthdate of the fictional character of James Bond 007, according to John Pearson in James Bond, the Authorized Biography of 007 is 11th November , 1920.”

And still, he looks So Hot for a guy who is 89!

So he has Sun, Moon (an Eclipse) Node and Mercury (retrograde) in Scorpio. Venus in Sagg so he’s drawn to the sexy, emancipated, globe-trotting untameable types BUT he’s got Mars in controlling Capricorn so he wants to tame them.  I LOVE the astro of fictional characters.

And as this Nerve mag article makes clear, Casino Royale is mega-Scorpionic.

“If you’ve never read a Bond novel, Casino Royale is something of a shock. For a start, Bond is more psychologically complex, almost sociopathic, than the one-dimensional version of the movies. He appears to harbor rape fantasies towards women, suggesting demons in his closet. In an early chapter we are casually informed that Bond “lit his seventieth cigarette of the day,” shortly before taking a cold shower and slipping into bed, where “his features relapsed into a taciturn mask, ironical, brutal, and cold.” He smokes, he drinks, he takes cold showers! This is old school Bond, a million miles from the fussy figure he has become on screen. Forewarned that he is going to be saddled with a female accomplice, he is appalled: “Women were for recreation. On a job, they got in the way and fogged things up with sex and hurt feelings and all the emotional baggage they carried around.” Inevitably the woman is bad news; his attempt to save her leads to a remarkably candid torture scene, in which Bond is forced to strip and have his genitals brutalized until he loses consciousness. The message could hardly be clearer: women rob men of their power.”

Venus Into Libra…

And VOILA VENUS IN LIBRA!!!

Libra is one of the signs Venus Rules (she also rules Taurus and is Exalted in Pisces) and so the Love Goddess is thus super-well-placed in Libra…Venus in Libra as the backdrop for Mars going into Leo this weekend is just perfect. She will also linger in Libra until November 8, thus also being there when Saturn gets into Libra…let’s all Libra-out. Symmetry! Skincare! Scent! Diplomacy! Balance! Yin! Yang!

Venus is also now applying hard to a square with Pluto – given that this is a Dark Moon, you don’t want to get swept up in a lower expression of Venus-Pluto. Try not to succumb to vengeful thinking, stalkery bitcherel and, well, you know the drill. Don’t you?

See today’s Daily Mystic for an extended rave re the Venus Pluto cycle & how it pertains to relationships.  I am also going to remind subscribers of the password to read my previous Venus-Pluto Subscriber Only Rave as it’s ALL on again…If you don’t subscribe, do think about it…Support totally ad-free astrology!

Venus in Libra will feel easier than Venus in Virgo. We love Virgos but Virgo is the sign opposite to Pisces, in which Venus is Exalted. And of course, Mars is in Cancer, opposite to Capricorn, the sign in which HE is exalted. So both Venus and Mars – by the weekend – are in signs that they are WAY more happier and productive in. This means relationships come into being and/or sort themselves out more easily. The following signs are also far more at ease in their own skin & world: Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces…But everyone will feel the shift…

D.I.Y. Astro: Stud or Dud – His Mars Sign

I know. Tres cheesy. And Stud or Dud is hideously sexist to guys but it is light-hearted, yah?

Some Mars signs are super-well-placed…Mars in Aries, the sign it rules, Mars in Capricorn (exalted) and Mars in Scorpio, ruled by Mars before Pluto was discovered.  Mars in the opposite signs of this lot is considered way less strong; Mars in Libra, Mars Cancer and Mars in Taurus. Also Mars in Pisces – this being the sign that Venus is exalted in.

Men with Mars in Libra, Cancer or Taurus could (technically) be said to exhibit a higher degree of pass-agg behaviour or have probs asserting themselves directly. Note that Mars rules ambition, energy levels, anger & libido. It also rules “men”.  Now, IF the Mars is on the Midheaven (Capricornian vibe) or Ascendent (Aries-like vibe) then it’s considered to be strong enough to cancel out even a less-desirable sign placement. Likewise the Houses. The 1st, 8th and 10th houses are all super-strong placements for Mars.

Mars in negative aspect to Neptune seems to so often associated with the official vices (OTT addictions & gambling + general neer do well grifting). Mars in challenging aspect to Saturn, Pluto & Uranus can also produce the classic rebel sans cause or even an overly angry guy. Note how I am tempering my language. This is not meant to be diagnostic astro for any guy in your life – as charts are complex things! But leaving aside the worst-case Mars scenarios, it’s really interesting to look at your man’s Mars sign for better understanding.

For instance, if a man has Mars in Libra, he WILL dither and it’s got nothing to do with you…Mars in Aries runs a hell of a lot on Respect & Pride; don’t kill it. Mars in Virgo WILL wig over details & crap service. If  you see a man with a Kataka (Cancerian) Mars, you’re most likely looking at some convoluted seduction style. If a man with Mars in Scorp or Capricorn wants you,  you’ll know all about it. They don’t muck about. Mars-In-Taurus moves at glacial pace & is super-hard to budge from an entrenched situation. Mars in Gemini will “jump” fast. Are you getting it?

Happy Birthday Lee Miller!

Today is the birthday of Lee Miller, the Vogue covermodel turned intern & Muse to peeps such as Man Ray & Jean Cocteau to surrealist photographer and then genius photojournalist. Her early life was horrid. She was raped by a family friend and contracted a vile venereal disease:  “I looked like an angel but I was a fiend inside.”  She was one of the first photographers to document the horrors of the concentration camps & reveal them to the outside world.

lee_miller_hitler_tub_1945

This famous pic is of her in Hitler’s bathtub, after just such a harrowing journey.

The Carolyn Burke bio is brill & the book by her son, Anthony Penrose is sooo moving.  He says he did not understand the totality of her until after her not-so-easy demise. Heaps of her pics are at the Lee Miller virtual archive.

Her astro for Astro-Fiends & according to the magnificent new Astro DataBank app which i will link to properly) is here;

Libra Rising – the beauty & the free lover, classic. Mars-Uranus the iconoclast in Capricorn and a Grand Trine with the Sun in Taurus & Moon in Virgo. Venus-Saturn in Pisces in the 6th (health) square Pluto in Gemini…that awful childhood health/rape curse. Mercury in Aries right on her Dsc so a big-mouth urge to rant off & tell her truth powerfully opposing the Libra Rising looks & desire for harmony. Jupiter conjunct Neptune (just like is gonna happen soon in late May!) in the sign of Kataka (Cancer) on the Midheaven aka career point so a true visionary & destined to influence/alter our collective culture and the Anima Mundi…aka World Soul.

Mars From Pisces To Aries…

April 22, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 112 comments

By midnight, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere – NOON if youse are North, Mars will be in Aries, the sign he RULES. And when we talk of Mars, he’s New-Age resistant, no matter how much hippy-astrologers try to use words like pro-active to describe him. He’s not a patron nor even a key influencer. He is a ruler. And he ADORES being in Aries. It’s from now until June so maximise it…

MARS IS GOING FROM TRYING TO FUNCTION ambiguously IN PISCES;

Note now YOUR Mars & that this most strongest of Mars placements (along with Mars in Capricorn) frees you up to assert your own Mars more easily. Strong Mars & weak Mars are tremendous fun to look at when you’re an Astro-Fiend dating but shall save that for another time. Go beef up your Mars! Now through to the end of May.

Mars; Assertion, ambition, libido, aggression, ability to strategise, willing, force, willpower, Qi, guts, courage, more libido, iron, Aries, Scorpio, battle, Red, strength, competitive instinct, lust. Hatred, war, vengeful crap, rape, & cruelty when evil, mis-used, thwarted.

Ultra-Leo

I barely knew whom George Hamilton was other than that peeps are often rude about him. He was an official teen hunk, turned tanorexic & serial lover to many a beautiful woman in his day. I read this article re his new autobiography in the Daily Mail & he is SO mega-Leo: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus & Pluto all in Leo. Mars in Capricorn trine – this is really exact  – Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Virgo. A Grand Earth Trine & all that Leo…

From the SO LEO bio, candid, generous, name droppy & the Alana he is referring to is the ex-wife of serial Capricorn Rod Stewart, mother of Kimberley:

“…In Acapulco I met Alana Collins, so tall, blonde and American-dream stunning that she could have only been a model. I saw her again at the Beverly Hills club I part-owned, shaking her heroic booty on the dance floor…I was smitten and invited her to Europe, where we took a suite in Saint-Tropez. Alana shared my love of the sun and was attached to her reflecting screen the way most Saint-Tropeziens were tied to their gold chains. She was one quarter Cherokee and bronzed like a champion….

“…However, she had a way of drifting in and out of my life, her independence inspiring fits of jealousy no other woman had inflicted on me. Adding insult to injury was her frustration at my failure to say ‘I do’ to her. It had become a case of put up or shut up. I exited and in came Lord Lichfield, the photographer and first cousin of the Queen. Alana was to become Lady Lichfield with her own stately home, Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire….

“…I wanted to settle down, but had chosen the least settled-down woman on the planet. I think that Alana reminded me of my mother: pretty, funny and Southern. I wanted someone soft and feminine-but underneath that goddess was a cowboy as tough as John Wayne…. Suntanning was going to be to me what the phone booth, funny blue suit and cape were to Superman. Without a tan I was just another pale face in the crowd. With one, I could do some pretty amazing things…”

When Saturn Was Last At This Point In Virgo…

April 1, 2009 in Astro In Books, Astro-Fiends, Celeb Fluffery, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 18 comments

Why even THINK about when Saturn was last at this point in Virgo?

Because Saturn is all about Time…His Greek name is Chronos from whence we get all manner of time-linked words…Chronological. Chronometer, which is the correct name for a watch…Probably even Crone. So every now and then, it is good to check in to Saturnine cycles – they are like those of Uranus; Seven years…Seven, fourteen, 28…

IF you are old enough, the last time Saturn was at mid-Virgo was August 1979…Thinking about another time, but similar in the Saturnine sense, can trigger fantastic insights….

Gia Carangi was on the cover of Cosmopolitan…

p9x8f4p_large1

Born in late January 1960, she was an Aquarian supermodel & an openly lesbian one at that – in the 70’s, it was harder – & ultra-charismatic, even by the standards of mods and doomed icons. Some fashion peeps say she innovated modelling by kinetic style of posing et al. That sort of thing is so arguable. Sadly, she was hooked on heroin by the 80s and dead of AIDS at the age of 26, in the late 80s. Her fave song – this is so 80s – Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds was played at her funeral, Angelina Jolie won a Golden Globe for playing her in Gia & it took Cindy Crawford years to shrug off the moniker of “baby Gia.”

Gia astro; Sun, Moon & Mercury in Aquarius, Venus, Mars and Saturn all in Capricorn, Uranus in Leo trine Jupiter in Saggo – charisma to burn and she basically did burn it all up. Neptune in Scorp squared all the Aqua stuff & such a sad “lower” Neptunian end (drugs) to all the beauty and glam. The emo pf the fan-sites, net culture & v-clips of her etc is extraordinary. She is SO the Gen X version of Marilyn. Not in the sense of actress/lifetime accomplishments etc but in the love-for-doomed-young-icon-of-generation sense. It’s just that Gia was not of the Boomer (Pluto in Leo) generation…They really laud their icons. So if you went to a kitsch shop, you’d imagine Elvis Presley, Marilyn and James Dean actually were the last lot of passed slebs we ever cared for.

ANYWAY – a Saturnine psych query if you are up for it…and if u are old enuf – what did you Leave Behind or Cherish in 1979 that you could now reclaim? As Saturn is sitting on this point for the next few months before opposing iconoclastic Uranus, this will be a productive thought session, if  you can manage it. And even if you born post-1979, think re where your family/industry was at then…pre-You! The good thing about pondering Saturn shite? It works. She is also such a beautiful and poignant reminder of people who pass far too soon through something so presumably avoidable as damage from drugs.

Astro-Pauline Hanson

f_25259_pauline-hanson_a_320Pauline Hanson, clothed.

Well I wasn’t going to post re this because I didn’t want to terrify overseas viewers already convinced Australia a land beset by constant calamity; crocs, floods, sharks et al.  But now the apparent pics of politician Pauline Hanson is making news all over the world. And she is sueing. If you don’t know whom she is, Ms Hanson is a former fish and chip shop owner and far right politician notorious for “speaking her mind.”  Freedom of speech is obviously a fabulous thing but given the G.F.C. she could actually be way more dangerous than previously. ANYWAY: Her astro…

She is a Gemini with Scorpio Rising & Pisces Moon…Mars in Capricorn (exalted and in the third house – massive determination & drive + she ain’t shutting up in a hurry) opposes Venus and Jupiter in Cancer.  So she has, um, appetites. My Ex the Uranian and I were watching all this on the plasmas at the gym yesterday & he’s a Bolshevik & a union organiser + part-Koori so she really freaks him but nonetheless he managed to astutely surmise that she’d really ‘go off’.

She is  now saying those are not her in the pics & that she does  not know at ALL the guy who took them so this ramping  up into a hell of a fight. If it was her and she’s got Mars-Venus opposition + Scorp rising, you’d think she would be  having more of a good time. The woman in the pics looks tense. Not how a Scorp Rising would be in such a situation.

She also has Uranus conjunct Midheaven; the stirrer & iconoclast…Pluto is coming up to conjoin her Venus. The revelation of formerly hidden pics of you in the nuddy – or maybe not you, I can’t spell alledgly – is not a prediction I would have thought to offer a client with such a transit. But apt when you think about it, lol. AND Uranus is coming up to conjoin her Moon. I don’t track her. Is she gay yet?  It’s amazing how often Uranus-Moon transits coincide with women coming out of la closet.
