Advance Notice Of Mercurial Bats

March 17, 2010 in Mercury Retrograde by Mystic Medusa | 16 comments

Guys, put this in thy diaries!

Mercury is Retrograde from April 18 until May 12.

No signing of contracts, people who come to you with ideas in this time could shonk out, no big purchases, massive ventures undertaken etc.

This Retrograde is in Taurus so it’s also a time to beware being totally obdurate or attempting to push something through with sheer and mighty willpower.

It’s 2 to 12 degrees of Taurus, if you know your chart.

So, for example, that’s totally in my 4th House – Home/Family Of Origin Sector, so i would be thinking that I won’t get any home repairs or furniture in that time, not even an electric eggbeater…not that I would BUT it will be a fantastic time to reconnect with family of origin, people from my childhood…ancestor energy.

Or, more bloody likely, they will attempt to connect with ME lol.

I would also, if i followed my own advice, get faltering things to do with my home fixed NOW rather than wait for them to conk out spectacularly during the Mercury Retro.

Remember, Mercury Retrograde is not BAD but it is worth going WITH IT.

If you want me to figure out where it’s operating in your chart, i can do it as part of the Serendipity Cosmic Consult. It’s already part The Supernaturalist.

Astro Gaga – The Aries Spy-Lie Detector

February 17, 2010 in Astro Gaga by Mystic Medusa | 55 comments

I don’t know why but i visualize the owner of this truck as an Aries Courier turned Spy/Lie Detector after a Pluto transit.

So his name is Troy and this is now the job he does.

If you ring him, he’ll be there on-the-hop, a bit caffeinated or straight from the gym and insanely buff.

He’s got a Cancerian Moon so takes the infidelity/disloyalty aspect of his work v.seriously and gets WAY too involved with his clients.

His actual machinery is really out-of-date and inaccurate – Mercury Retrograde in Pisces so he relies more on intuition than the machinery and thank fuq he does Muay Thai because husbands and boyfriends are forever trying to bash him.

Thoughts?

Is This The Time For Depth Relationship Dialogue?

January 15, 2010 in Mercury Retrograde by Mystic Medusa | 116 comments

Q: Now that the Moon is New again, is it the time for Depth Relationship Dialogue? Or whatever?

A: No. Mercury (communication) is still Retrograde. Mars (assertion, men, action) is Retrograde. Saturn (structure, mature adult reality) is Retrograde and Venus is Void. God, even a casual wink at an astronaut could be misunderstood.

HEY – Happy New Moon and a BONUS three month Alpha-Mystic Subscription for you (or gift for a friend) who comes up with the funniest/stupidest astrological explanation of what signs these astronauts, above, are and WHAT is happening between them.

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

Mercury FuQ#*# Retrograde

A Journey Round My Skull

So wow, go Mercury Retrograde!  Who said that it would be more restrained in the patrician and sober sign of Capricorn?  I did. Lol. It’s certainly different from the whacko Air Sign Retros where it’s almost like The Trickster is in charge, befuddling you to auto-send e-mails mentioning A Certain Person TO that Certain Person. And I don’t think there is that fairy-tale like nostalgia that seems to beset Water Sign Mercury Retrogrades. But it’s Mercurial Bats alright…

* Having only been on it for, like, five weeks, I get bumped off Facebook!  It feels punitive though apparently it’s perfectly common. Oh well, let’s see if my “appeal” works. If not, I shall probably just posting my more inane observations up here.

* Had lunch with some peeps & a Virgo was there; terribly hungover from a dinner party the night before. Nobody had warned her that TWO of her Exes were going to be there and with their new partners, to boot. Ex-lovers always feature in one way or another, when Mercury is Retro. And if men are your thing, then Mars Retro accentuates the syndrome.

* Whilst googling myself to see if ANY trace of my F-Book content still remained, I found THIS from Sally Bennett in  the Herald-Sun today…

“…Mystic Medusa in the Weekend Australian is a favourite. She’s the thinking person’s astrologer – all sharp-witted, New Age language and dripping with sarcasm.

She doesn’t mind reminding you of your flaws or having a laugh at your expense.

She says stuff like, “Control-freakery aside, you’re the wittiest star sign.” Thanks. I think….”

And you see, I would not have read that if not for the Facebook fuq-up & I LOVE flattery.  This is how Mercury Retrograde works.

* The extendable handle on the fancy new mop i bought does not extend. This is just infuriating to someone with Mars in Virgo like me.

* Cards can weirdly not work for no REAL reason during Mercury A.W.O.L. phases & this is the Capricorn twist – it’s at some place where the person is going to give you attitude about it. eg; my card conked out in front of bitched up bogan who already hated me as I’d asked whether or not something had dairy in it. She said something like “oh you’re not one of THOSE, are you?” and then card conked just as I needed to project Capricorny hauteur. Capricorn lesson: Cook it yourself. Don’t pay peeps to patronise you.

* Another random Mercury Retro in Capricorn manifestion – especially as Saturn stations – Bad Dad issues…

Things To Do Before The New Moon Eclipse…

January 9, 2010 in Full Moons, New Moons by Mystic Medusa | 48 comments

Basia Konczarek

Before the New Moon Eclipse on the 15th, you need to go tidy up all the psychic crud & clutter that no doubt emerged with that last Full Moon Eclipse…The Solar Eclipse next Friday is SUCH a favourable fresh start vibe – a super-powered New Moon in Capricorn enhanced by Venus & sextiled by Uranus – that you really don’t want to be grubbed up by ye olde stale emotions, ancient angst, crappy habits & past-use-by-date yearnings…Do you?

Yes to good manners, yes to perspective and yes to civilised conduct but no-no-no, you are not going back & that last Full Moon should have shown you that. This Mercury Retrograde cycle is in Capricorn so keep the nostalgia & ‘analysis’ productive, make it real and scheme for an insanely profound renaissance attitude to go with the New Moon Eclipse.

The beautiful picture above is symbolic of your psychic spare room that may or may not need tidying AND think this too: New Moon Eclipse conjunct Venus. Not Mercury nor even underworldly Pluto. Venus. So is there a Venusian theme of yours that could do with a savage uncluttering?  Literal (photo-album) or emotional (naff misconceptions nursed lovingly)…

Apres Eclipse Analysis

So, happy New Year & all that – how was your Full Moon Eclipse?

Is everyone three kilograms heftier and imbued with a quite a few fresh emotional understandings or is that just me?

Classic Cancerian Eclipse Full Moonie themes:  awareness of residual feelings, homeland, insights into what gives you the heebie-jeebies and why, parenting-birth-fertility issues and ideas, urge to meditate, flashes re your personal history, clucky or reappreciating your children more, security concerns, emo flashpoint style domestics anywhere there is unresolved merde, bonding between women or with the mother, a bit of productive hypochondria, carbophilia beyond even the seasonal demands, sacred laundering, artistic validation, major rad spiritual realisations and someone has to bung  on a bit of pass-agg crap.

It’s been fab & all but bring on the Moon in Virgo – non?

Oh all right, the lessons learned over the last week just have to be synthesized & absorbed because they are fab…And the  more you assimilate them over the next few weeks of Mercury Retrograde, the fresher a vital new start you score with the New Moon Eclipse on Jan 15. Wallow a bit now, slough off the shite & emerge more gleaming & potent than ever v.soon.

Mercury AND Mars Bats

This pic, seriously, is like me looking at my e-mail just now. Mercury AND Mars Retro is so infuriatingly bats ALREADY that I am back here even though technically not blogging again till Jan 4.

Okay, I am INSANELY into positive Retro spin. I have been musing upon a hokie little How-Mercury-Retr0-in-Cap-Helps-You-Process-the-Past-and-get-your-personal-history-reframed…And I was born with Mars Retrograde so it can’t be that bad…Mars and Mercury Retro  great planning times, excellent for major eureka flashes re your past & soulmining for the benefit of fab future creativity…

But you know what guys? It is STILL Mercury Retro and it can still screw up perfectly functioning e-mail systems so they – in this case – throw up thousands of previously deleted e-mails…as if they were new & unread again…Is there a cosmic message here? Am i supposed to be pouring over the fake rolex offers for celestial significance???  One counts one’s blessings but it’s weird…non? And on the first day of Mercury Retrograde…

So hang on to thy sanity – i reckon it’s gonna be a BIG Full Moon Eclipse & please-please-please I know it is the post-Saturnalia sales and all but it is NOT the time to buy big items or make massive decisions or initiate lawsuits. You can process weird news re your exes or similar without shifting continents, becoming a breatharian or buying a pet marmalute. I am slightly biassed against the latter right now as one tore my front gate off its hinges. Mars Retro also his weirdings, you understand.

Guys It’s Mercury Retro Again…

Heh-heh & here we go again guys!

Mercury is Retrograde from Saturday 26th (early AM Sunday for Sydney peeps) & it is Direct again on January 16.

This is actually really cool timing as many of us will be having some sort of a rest & it’s brilliant astro for re-appraising Capricornian matters – stability, tradition, endurance, your business plan et al. Saturn goes Retro in early Jan so there will be Mercury, Mars and Saturn all inward-focussed. Fantastic strategising energy…Batty love affairs flare up too but don’t expect men to pursue whilst Mars is Retrograde.

Oh and till mid-Jan is also unreal for editing, revision and taking care of business such as tooth & bone a.k.a. osteo/dental. Superb health jagging energy.

There will be a Mercury Retrograde Book Club operating over the Retro phase as well…

Mars Gets Trined By Venus

Dec 11 to 2o? Cue festivities. There will be a Jupiter-blessed New Moon in Sagittarius and Venus in saucy Saggo trining (an easy, flowing and blissful aspect) hot-shot Mars in Leo. This is very good energy for fast-tracking romance/flirtations/sex/bonding etc. AND it’s creative, libidinal, good for biz et. Jupiter’s involved, sextiling the Sun and then to finish up Venus squares Uranus…Thrills galore.

The New Moon is like a wow moment to zap us with an unexpected blessing and/or opportunity that can be taken up with alacrity in the New Year — preferably after Mercury goes Direct mid-Jan.

It’s a fantastic few days and then Mars goes Retrograde bats + we’ll be in the Eclipse Zone again…Yes, the Xmas hols feature a Full Moon Eclipse in Kataka. So schedule  up your party/art diary for the Venus-Mars positive astro-weirding zone & then hunker down from the 21st.
