If Andy Warhol were still with us, he would  have been about to have his Uranus Return and Mars Retro would have been all OVAH his Sun-Mercury in Leo Rising…I think he’d love this pic and the site from which it springs…CashForYourWarhol

So Pluto in Cap, of course…

And note Andy’s chart – Uranus trine Mercury (genius) and Saturn (enduring, social cut-thru to the max)…

And, if you have not already seen the Uranus Return post from a while back, do go there because the POEM is perfect for this Full Moon Eclipse coming.

This is the master bedroom in the country residence of the late Yves St Laurent, a multiple conjunct Leo (Sun, Venus, Mercury)…Is this or is this not classic Leo? I mean, are they usually this chintzy?

Today is the birthday of Mata Hari…This is a review of a Mata Hari biography

“Femme Fatale’s central contention is that “it is difficult to imagine a woman less likely . . . to be able to engage in clandestine activities than Mata Hari.” She was a star, and “while she was certainly seductive, which might be viewed as useful for a spy, she was never on any occasion invisible”; in fact, she was “a ridiculous candidate for a job that required clandestine behavior.” Yet her persecutors “believed firmly that Mata Hari was guilty because she slept with many men and traveled widely in wartime. Such a woman must be a spy.” A kangaroo court agreed, and on Oct. 15, 1917, at the age of 41, she was executed. Shipman reports that many years later, the prosecutor, Andre Mornet, talked to a writer about the case and said “with a supreme indifference, ‘Between you and me, there wasn’t enough [evidence] to flog a cat.’ “

There’s more mystery about the woman than about the charges that cost her life. Shipman probably is right that “she was convicted not for espionage but for her lack of shame,” but how she got that way — defiantly, exuberantly, spectacularly — simply can’t be explained. ”

Oh well was Leo & not only that – a Multiple Conjunct Leo – Sun, Mars, Mercury, Uranus and Midheaven all Leo. Squared by Pluto in Taurus. I cannot think of a worse combination for a spy, the poor thing. Moon-Saturn in Pisces conjunct North Node.

Today is the birthday of ultra Leo Ann Calvello – an American Roller Derby athlete who kept skating into her 70s. Watch this clip & dare any Leos you know to out-Leo this lady; Her  nickname was the Lioness & she was renowned for her big mouth, brawling, competitive ego, wigs, weekly change of hair style & being apparently the worlds only professional athlete to be active for seven decades. She is seriously trippy & the clip above is wierdly inspirational…Sun/Mercury in Leo trined by Uranus in Aries.

It is a tenet of psychological theory that Water in dreams signifies your emotions, is it not???  So a placid rockpool lit by the sunrise would be totally different psycho reality than dreaming about great big crashing tsunamis, yes?  I dreamed of tsunamis nearly every night during 2004 and thought it t’was emotional, to do with my turbulent subconscious etc. Then the 2004 Great Tsunami occurred & I thought again. The dreams were always totally realistic, as in seeing the wave and then looking around for something to cling onto or wondering if i could run up the hill sort of thing. The last one I had  was ridiculous; i was standing in an island resort room about three stories high, looking at a hotel bill and freaking  out. Only it wasn’t really me. It was like i was looking over this woman’s shoulder.  And the woman was saying to a man “we can’t possibly pay this” and annoyed as he seemed not be listening. Then the woman looks up and sees him agape at a huge wave offshore & he says “if we survive this we won’t have to…”

So i woke  up thinking how stupid, went downstairs & there was that Boxing Day Tsunami, on television. But, I also have them (eg; this year) with nothing like that happening.  Does anyone else have big wave dreams??  Or care to spout forth with interpretations & dream sharing. I think in general the idea of  – say – turbulent water = turbulent emotions rings true…My intention is to try and lucidly dream the answer by zapping up my mugwort.  Mercury opposite Neptune should also max out the dreams for the next few days…fab for liars too!

Okay, I have only ever driven a Porsche once & now I don’t even drive at all – Mars-Uranus conjunction can be a bit reckless with machinery. T’is not a good idea.  And it’s sextile Neptune.  ANYWAY,  my point is this: The current Mercury in Leo opposite Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune in Aquarius situation is an astonishing energy. It reminds me of driving a really powerful, potentially fast sportscar. Like the feeling when you put your foot on the accelerator of a Porsche & it’s like you could just flex  your big toe and it would do something fuqing full-on.

It’s an astro-energy whereby it’s fantastic for manifesting brilliant things & thinking way Over The Top as you goal-set but it’s ever so teetering on being completely bonkers. And peeps who are astro-sensitive CAN feel this so exquisitely. eg; this morning i was sitting there, still with the sage & lavender compress clamped to my forehead thank you very much & having a whole host of BIG ideas & then i had to stop myself from actually making a few calls – you need to put some things off until the mega-sane Capricorn moon next Monday.

So scheme grandiosely & be brave et al but back off before taking strong action today, especially if it in any way could be traced back to your ego. The lower end of this Astro-Weirding is egomania fuelled by Aqua-bats truculence..Go with the bold envisioneering & faith bit of it. Don’t slam your foot down on the pedal…Strategy would be a fine thing & it’s not the forte of Leo or Aquarius.

Oh I was not onto this before but SpongeBob’s birthday was on Tuesday. He was officially born, according to his founder, on July 14 1986. I don’t really know much about him – but he is a home-loving Cancerian, obviously, even if his home is a giant pineapple under the sea.

He has Moon in Virgo, Mercury Retro in Leo (is he a grandiose malapropping kinda guy?  Mis-use words pompously? Truly, does he have any Retro-Mercury in Leo indicators?) Venus in Virgo square Saturn in Sagg so he could be stingy  in love & sexually begrudging due to hell knows WHAT psychological factors and Mars Retrograde opposing his Cancerian Sun – there may be a bit of repressed rage boiling away due to – i don’t know – earning the living that satisfies his Cancerian security needs by cavorting about showing off a fairly limited aspect of himself, his vile boss & limited starfish friend.

You know…his North Node is in Aries & he’s got that retro-Mars – he ideally needs to assert himself in a more clear, direct and strategic manner.

COURTNEY LOVE BY MARIO TESTINO

Mario Testino

Have TOTALLY lost track of Courtney Love.

She’s a Cancerian – it’s her birthday on Saturday and she has Libra Rising. Hence her amazing ability to Scrub Up sensationally well when she wants to. But the reason i’ve lost track ain’t her astro.

She’s currently got Saturn opposing her Chiron and squaring her Mars-Venus in Gemini AND Lilith in Sagg so that buzzy charisma & self-belief would be a bit harder to come by. But Saturn DOES actually move, thank fuq, and she  has a while to get her shit together before Pluto opposes her Sun. Although, Pluto is presently hanging around her South Node so the Past comes up in Plutonic ways …maybe even more info re Nirvana/Kurt Cobain and by Feb.

What I have lost track of is what she represents: Grunge Icon? Ex Riot Grrrl Still Manifesting Feminist/Iconic Music Artiste? Homicidal Ho? Genius? Victim Of Plastic Surgery-N.P.D./Drugs Et Al?  Rock Goddess? Icon of Clean Living Personified? Exhibitionist wannabe?

At the hairdressers the other day I read in one mag that she was on some hideous drug/dangerously thing and in another mag that she has embraced Kundalini Yoga to the point that she has been initiated, is becoming an instructor and altering her name. The Scorpio Sex Academic has such disdain for the woman that she cancelled her Kundalini Yoga teacher training. There were other factors, such as the celibacy, but still.

Courtney Love has a beautiful Cancerian Sun-Moon conjunction in the visionary 9th House and Eros/Mercury on her Leo Midheaven so if she moves half-way to courting her public, they will be there for her. But the last “news” on her actual website is from 2007 – her clean, sober & a Givenchy muse. I thought the Nick Broomfield doco fascinating but also that she could act in that Larry Flynt bio movie…Has she done any music of note lately? Ever?
