Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet Vanity Fair

Okay, this is so flip but after I saw Revolutionary Road, i had a few gins (what else after that movie would feel so right?) and said to the Scorpio Sex Academic that i was stunned the relationship between Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet could survive that movie. So, um, cathartic. And anyway, apparently it didn’t.

Things obviously run their course and it IS break-up season for non-viable set-ups (Saturn opposite Uranus again) and I don’t really have much to say re this but looking at KW’s chart, I’m stunned by how truly Libran she is. Maybe almost too much Libra for a Leo film director husband to handle. Leo and Libra is a beautiful match but Libra can often times so effortlessly out-shine the Leo and they DO compete…

Her chart shows up Pluto in Libra, Fortuna in Libra, Libra Rising, Sun in Libra, Moon in Libra and Mercury in Libra…all bunched tightly together. That’s a lot of Libra and now Saturn is about to go tromping over the lot. She will probably do great things out of all this but it will feel austere.

Mr Mendes is a Leo yes but a whole heap of his planets are in guess what sign…Virgo. SO he’s a multiple conjunct Virgo with a multiple conjunct Libran woman.

There is some nice Mars-Venus synergy there (his Mars is in Libra and her Venus is actually in Virgo, conjunct HIS Venus in Virgo) but think of all that Virgoan energy crashing into hyperbolic multi-Libran Kate.

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.

As the Moon in Gemini squares Uranus in Pisces, peeps zig where you thought they were going to zag & there’s an electric buzz in the vibe. Fab for conversation, concocting new ideas and all but discretion ought to be applied. Moon-Uranus stirs & in mutable signs it’s like amorality central, Mercury IS retrograde, Pluto stationing Direct is emo and Saturn opposing Uranus is practically upon us. You’d hate to go bats & then feel all goobly on Monday morn, to the extent that you went guilt-tripping.

The pic above is a modern take on an old world war II poster, urging discretion for obvious reasons; this one below is a real one from the era.

Here we go again with the Saturn-Uranus Opposition dudes. Do NOT forget that the Saturn-Uranus opposition tends to warp time. This will be MOST apparent with Pluto stationing Direct & Mercury Retrograde.

Saturn IS the god of time – his Greek name is Chronos – and Uranus is sort of quantum loop future quadri dimensional time-is-a-numerical-construct-ish.

So there is a battle between the Saturnine punctuality/deadlines consciousness and the Uranian timewarping.

Revise your scheduling systems or simplify where you can. Seriously be rad when it comes ruthless simplification. Expect weird flashes of nostalgia, power-rage surges. Keep it productive. Do the old Saturn Law:  8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 8 glasses of water a day. Sort your clocks or whatever it is you keep time with.

My new Eco-Ghoul light bulbs are So giving me the shits that i am seriously wondering if my Taurus Hippy Uncle was right and we SHOULD ALL BE up with the dawn and asleep by dusk.

As well as all the obvious Mercury Retrograde precautions (communications, triple checking arrangements, engaging patience, not signing contracts, buying big stuff) you ideally have Zen-Sloth time each day or productive pottering as it is then that the emo ‘aha’ moments and genius eureka flashes alight. You could argue that is true of any old week but it’s especially the case when Mercury is Retrograde in Libra…And due to the positioning of Mars, watch as communicative mishaps & glitches rip the friendly veneer off some relationships…NOT if they’re fine but where there lurks unspoken hostility et al.

So a soon-to-be Retro-Bats Mercury squaring Mars is really quite something huh? And note that both Mercury & Mars are still well in zone of planet Pluto, stationing Direct so sending out mega-depth-psych rays…I have been trying to take my own advice and not go flippo at the endless array of small, trivial but SO irksome crap that has cluttered my morning.

“At least you’re not a child warrior in Somalia,” said my Gemini daughter, parrotting me. Ah yes, perspective is vital. That + Libby-Fleur serenity & grandeur.  Soz for the infrequent postings in the last few days, i really have been extremely busy & I don’t wish to sound churlish but e-mails of complaint/disappointment/fury don’t do much for me!

“…A treasured piece at the Dutch national museum – a supposed moon rock from the first manned lunar landing – is nothing more than petrified wood, curators say. It was given to former Prime Minister Willem Drees during a goodwill tour by the three Apollo-11 astronauts shortly after their moon mission in 1969. When Mr Drees died, the rock went on display at the Amsterdam museum….”

Wow, this is such ravingly Merc Retro serendipity. I was just the other night discussing the 1978 movie Capricorn One with the Scorpio Sex Academic. I was a child when i saw  it and somehow i totally got the idea it was a documentary. Scorpio Sex Academic said she always assumed it was just p.r. Even now, the concept of Artemis & the astrological Moon Signs et al seem way more real to me than that we landed on it. What’s weird is that my teenage son and his friends (the Pluto in Scorpio generation) think it was bogus – their logic being that if someone had landed on the Moon  in the 1960s, there would be McDonalds on it by now.

As for the faux Moon Rock given to the Dutch, what’s that about????  And which Sun Sign is most/least likely to believe in the Moon Landing. I’m thinking it’s strongly Scorp to diss it. Note also: The signature of a super-bonkers Mercury Retrograde is forgotten info, strange facts surfacing about something one takes for granted and weird little twists…strange news days indeed.

I reckon this is going to be one hell of a Mercury Retrograde. It’s only just in the shadowzone now & yet already my week has featured people sending me text messages that were ABOUT me not supposed to be sent TO me, three phone calls to web hosting service trying not to be shrill as i say it doesn’t really seem like a server ‘upgrade’ if my site  has crashed, one lengthy phone call to Optus who decided to alter all their users e-mail addresses without telling anyone and a totally stuck back gate.

So, if this is the form now…yick. My Mercury Retrograde speciality is sending off lurid, intimate gossippy e-mails to completely the wrong person, having failed to check the auto-fill feature & Freudian Slippage. And, whilst we are on Mercury, the Mercury-Mars square now building is making many of us tres ratty….Bear that in mind before you bitch it up. Does the world really need more bitcherel???

MERCURY IN LIBRA SEXTILE VENUS IN LEO IS SEXY & FUN…COMMUNICATIVE & FLIRTATIOUS…IT CAN BE A BIT OF THIS….

AND A BIT OF THAT…

Pretentious? There is always a whiff of that when Leo & Libra get together but SO WHAT? Live it up as soon enough you get to do Pluto Direct – oh the aching psychological evolution – & Saturn Opposite Uranus, Mercurial Bats + a Full Moon in Pisces…all Good but intense. Who cares if you get off being sensual & frivolous in the meantime? Make like a healthy cat; limber, protein-fuelled, compulsively groomed & ensuring you schedule in time to lie in the sun scheming your next ‘hunt’.

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.
