Martian Mercurial

March 18, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 67 comments

Mercury is now in action-Aries and trining mega-Mars in Leo. Some ideas:

* Faster talking.

* Impatience.

* Men are more daring.

* Ideas zip from the subliminal mind at the speed of light.

* Suffer fools? They should all be interned for the duration of Mercury in Aries.

* Brash ideas cranked out and whizzed off to about 1000 peeps at once, who all run the risk of being struck off the Mercury-in-Aries contact list should they not respond within more or less nano-seks.

* Big-noting.

* Winking. Seriously, monitor winkage. It’s always about more when Mercury is in Aries.

* Gutsy mission statements.

* Interrupting.

* Batting out of your league but w.t.f.

Think about it. Mars just back from that retrograde a.w.o.l. trip really needs a bit of a pep talk. And whom better to deliver that than Mars in Aries. Mercury stays in Aries till early April and then goes into Taurus just as Saturn goes back into Virgo. April will feel quite diff to now. Live it up.

Lady Gaga – Aries Or Pisces? This Proves It…

March 8, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 70 comments

Last March, when i first posted about Lady Gaga & some peeps had the nerve to dispute my Mercury in Aries statement that she would be a big star, there were two different birthdates floating about for her. So i said she was a Pisces.  Now the official birthdate is March 28 – Aries. Though the March 20 birthday still has currency. Anyway, this interview from The Moment totally confirms that she’s a Ramzilla to the Max…but what rising? I think Uranus in Capricorn…Calculating & groundbreaking.

My theory:  Given a quarter of the chance – forget  half – any Aries person will refer to her/himself in the third person. They LOVE IT. Way more than Leo even BUT read this for pure Ramzilla hubris and the brilliant quote re the vagina. That is heaven. I am so appropriating that to use as a sort of more or less all-purpose statement/excuse.

THE MOMENT: You say you are an acute assessor of fame. You of all people must know, then, that celebrity is fleeting. Doesn’t that scare the bejesus out of you?

LADY GAGA: Not in the book of Gaga.

THE MOMENT Sorry?

LADY GAGA: In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it. I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

THE MOMENT: Don’t you think it’s kind of creepy when you refer to yourself in the third person?

LADY GAGA: No. Not if you’re an artist, it’s not. I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don’t live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans. And that way, I have to think about not what is best for my vagina but what is best for my fans and for me artistically.

Retro-Mercury On The Dark Moon…

Mercury Retro always seems to go mega-bats weird just as it gets set to go Direct.

Saturn going Retro is also a culprit – that sudden super-heated Saturn-Girlie get-your-shit-together-fast vibe as Saturn stations Retro NOW.

A few v.trivial Mercury Retro notes that you may/may not be able to relate to.

* I have just spent AN HOUR writing Aquarius for the Weekly Scope of Jan 23. And yes, it’s a complicated Astro-Scape around then but not THAT complicated. And in that time, I managed to burn the same saucepan three times, trying to cook a sodding healthy ancient grain style low G.I. organic sod-it lunch.

* Am definitely and totally booted off Facebook. So unfair! But at the same time, it was becoming a bit of a Time-Suck. You can help though, by – if you like a post -  hitting on the “share” buttons for Facebook/Twitter etc that are below each  post. The more peeps come here, the more subscribers and thus more posts and features on the site. Because i am  not doing ads. You get the idea. Thank you.

* I got some e-mails asking why I think the serious subject of Self-Actualization warranted illustration with “himbos” and/or hot men. Well. First of all, Luca is not only Mr Brazil – he is a nutritionist. Hardly a himbo. Secondly, i thought about illustrating this serious subject with pictures of sunsets and sodding gerberas but decided against it. Thirdly, my Mercury in Aries does not like correspondence that has phrases in it such as “While I applaud your….I deplore xyz”.  Fourthly, it’s my blog and so if i want to deplorably juxtapose pictures of attractive peeps with whatever subjects, i sort of can.

* I am reading two fantastic books:  Sugar Blues (it’s actually a fantastically entertaining read, truly) and The Souls Code. Genius

Kitchen-Witch Creed

“The Kitchen Witch’s Creed

In this pot, I stir to the sun ?An’ follow the rule of harming none.

Banishment of bane when goin’ winddershins; ?An’ with water and salte negativity is cleansed.

Household duties are more than chores, ?Magick abounds when mopping floors.

With this broom, I do sweep ?To clean my house and safely keep.

Marigold, Basil, Thyme and Yarrow ?My spell is cast for a better tomorrow.

Lemons for joy and apples for health, ?The power within brings great wealth.

And, in this kitch I do pray ?To truly walk the Witches Way…”

O i do so love sacred house cleaning, witchy herbs et al & this creed is so cool – does anyone know where it comes from?

And what that black scorp-fish thing is on the floor of the witch-modelle might be and hands up who knows which ritual a lit red candle is required for when one is already poised quite precariously on the rim of an empty cauldron?

Plus, I only just noticed this -who says Mercury in Aries can’t be thick on occasion- is it her leg or her cauldron that is chained up???  Are the art directors seriously so sleazy that they’d either suspect their p.a.s of ripping off their crap cauldron, her of running off or needing to add b/d refs to an already suss large red candle scenario?

Eric Traore WAITING FOR THE MOON (AND MARS!) TO BE IN LEO ALREADY!!!!!

Okay so i AM back & have about a billion things i want to blog about BUT due to that STRANGE night last night, utterly stricken with ennui – two hours sleep max, I reckon. Ridiculous.  Interesting that heaps of you are reporting similar scenarios. The Moon WAS conjunct Mars and I think Mars has had a gutsful of being in Cancer, I really do.

I am going to go to  sleep now & hopefully emerge in a blur of brilliance later. But subscribers – try to grok what i said in the Daily Mystic this morning re Venus this week! IT really is a shockwave of Venusian activity & tomorrow is Mars + Venus both aspecting Saturn so seriously sophisticated and worldly love/sex realisations.  On the sober, Saturn Girl end of things but definitely worth honouring.

Dark Moon near Mars is now VOID – bloody hell.  I am going to follow my own advice and ‘down tools’ till it’s non-Void and into Leo…

Oh and i read a funny line today that makes me think  of Mercury in Aries or anything in Sagg; “Everyone is entitled to my opinion.”

Moon into Leo aka When The Spaz Lifts:

L.A – 23.03 Sunday Night

New York -  2.03 Monday Morning

London – 7.03 Monday Morning

Sydney – 16.03 Monday Arvo

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.

Your Mercury Sign & Swearing…

August 19, 2009 in D.I.Y. Astro, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 96 comments

Your Mercury sign = how you talk & communicate. I’m really interested in which Mercury signs cuss the most. I try not to do it so often – lazy vocab is  not so good – but my Mercury in Aries means when i DO – peeps are shocked. I still think it’s the sudden pre-menstrual stubbing of the toe situation that evokes the fruitiest language, followed by some ludicrous statement from a bonkers lover that requires a hitting of the ‘end’ button – on the phone and the relationship, no doubt. But the toe is worst. Nerve endings on the big toe presumably go straight to the part of the brain that regulates revolting language.

I think that the Mercury signs least likely to swear EVER would be Cancerian & Libran.  They wouldn’t bear it. Mercury in Taurus would make a ‘class’ deal out of it. Of course there is a difference between cussing when annoyed and casual tackiness when relaxed & enthusing as in ‘oh my god, fuq,  how hilarious.’  I think swearing became more acceptable and commonplace during Pluto in Sagittarius (Sagittarians are happy to swear loudly and tell luridly lewd tales at 1000 decibels in public places) but ever since Pluto went into Capricorn, peeps are becoming a bit more anti-cussing & swearing.

The Patron Saint Of Trousers…

pantaleon

Even for someone with Mercury in Aries, there is so much i do not know.

For instance, I just found out that there is a Patron Saint of Trousers and that today is his feast day! St Pantaleon is from where we derive the word “pants.”  The poor thing met a particularly gruesome end, even by the standards of martyrs.

It is also the birthday of the gorge & OTT Leo Astro-Cliche Ricardo Muti...

L’Uomo Aries

lv_single647_wardNeil Strauss

In case you do not know, Mr Strauss is an author who wrote a book called The Game; Penetrating The Secret Society Of Pick-Up Artists. He considers himself one – using the pseudonym ‘Style’ – and has also just released a book about how to live ‘off the grid.” Check out his My Space. Seriously. Look at it. It’s essential for the astro-lesson coming.

He appalls me but i am also sort of in awe at his gall. Why now? Well, my Handsome Piscean Ex (HEX) whom i rarely see as he lives interstate & is married, has become enthralled to this damned guy. He tried a few of the stupid, patented pick-up moves on me until finally i said “have you been reading that f**King stupid book?”  He admitted it. He thinks the guy is a genius. It’s not about finding love or having a relationship – it’s like a whole separate lifestyle concept.

Anyway, HEX didn’t pick up that night. He fell asleep on my couch, bitching about feminism mid-sentence when he fell asleep. But i vowed to check out the astro-data for Mr Strauss. Just now i found his birthday. It’s hard to get as he bullshits about it but one of his frenemies in the “seduction community” outted him turning 40.

I mean, look at ANY of those links and tell me he is not a nervy piece of work. How the hell can someone proclaim themselves the world’s greatest pick-up artist and survivalist expert?

Guys, he is a MULTIPLE CONJUNCT ARIES: Sun, Mercury, Venus & Saturn – that’s a lot. Moon maybe in Libra or Scorpio. He has Jupiter with Pluto – which IS the mogul indicator. He has taken a fairly yicky premise and made shitloads from it. He’s clearly a great $$ operator. And he’s got Uranus conjunct South Node at 1 Libra. WHICH means that he should actually have some kind of genius insight to offer society when Saturn crosses over it in Nov/Dec. Plus Pluto is squaring it. And then again in late 2010. But what? I reckon maybe he’ll run for politics, lol.

But yes, self-proclaimed Expert in both Survival & Seduction is SO Aries Man and he’s full of it. Aries planets, I mean.

Also, is this just me, but do the fingerless lace gloves worn the lady in the picture above signify that she may be on the clock rather than someone pulled via his stunning expertise? God, I am SO PMT.

Dissing The Disbelievers

May 26, 2009 in Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

“I don’t believe in astrology. I’m a Sagittarius and we’re skeptical.” Arthur C Clarke.

I never get bored but an emotion close to it, i think, infuses me whenever I am faced with an old-school sceptic. It’s not that they haven’t the right to think/believe w.t.f. THEY want but they so often seem determined, smug & pass-agg-insistent on dialogue with me. My fave retaliation is the George Santayana quote that “skepticism is the chastity of the intellect” but rather than responding to that, they just sort of dirge on. I think it’s actually Taurus (men, soz) who are the most pompous about it. Aquarius too – they’re either super-logical & will cheerily crap on with all sorts of spurious shit or else they’ll try to out-weird one with a harmony-0f-the-spheres rant.

But just as I was about to launch forward on a dissing the disbelievers rant, i thought isn’t it fabulous that many of us live in a time when we can express all these things & share them openly? And how much would many of our ancestors (especially those who lived in darker times) would have ADORED modern freedom of speech, being able to bung up charts on the internet, sharing stories about Mugwort on one’s blog…And i felt amazingly grateful that it’s just the occasional dullard grumbling…”Surely, you cannot possibly believe in xyz…”

The weird thing is that I DON’T know how astrology works. And yes, I have read Cosmos & Psyche.

I just know that it DOES work and it seems to work better the more you do it. It works backwards, it works forwards, it works shallow (when Mars is on your Venus, you will meet hot guys sorta thing) and it works deep…a la Jungian astro et al. Or a Pluto transit. So if it works and it does, then how weird & intricate & MAGIC is our world? Our universe?

And it is all around us, so yes I believe in magic and then i get onto the Dark Matter situation. 90% of our universe is made up of this mysterious substance and scientists have no idea what it is. It sounds so satisfyingly witchy. I went through a stage a few years ago (when Neptune was on my Ascendent by transit) when I became obsessed with Dark Matter. Now I’ve calmed down but if I have had a few drinks & a skeptic is annoying me, i can download all my Dark Matter info (blended ad lib with some alchemy, surrealism, Ancient mythology and obviously astrology) into one Mercury-in-Aries rant enough to scare off any Skeptic.
