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.

Mercurial Bats Again

I don’t know if this Mercury Retrograde Spiritual Mist Spray works or not but it’s a sensational idea…yes?

Mercury is next Retrograde from December 27 to Jan 16.

I think this is BRILLIANT.

It is at one of the few times of the year peeps tend not to be trying to force major things through, it will facilitate a fab re-assessment of family and friendship values and you need only ensure you make New Year resolutions BEFORE December 27.  Say what you like on the New Year’s Eve but it will be reversed or subverted.

The time between the end of 2009 and 2010 is full ON this year – it is a Full Moon Eclipse with Venus and Pluto involved. Dramatic resolutions and Chthonic Sex/Love/Emo action…Peeps are REALLY getting to grips with all that has altered since Pluto got into Capricorn in early 2008. It’s like a welcome to Pluto in Capricorn situation. Mercury is retro there, Venus is in Capricorn, Pluto – obviously – Saturn is in slo-mo getting set to square Pluto again and the Sun is in Capricorn as well opposed by a FULL MOON IN CANCER..

S0 what? It’s an Eclipse and so extra-emotional and all. Think also of 2004 – the middle of that year links poignantly into this years Xmas.

THINK: Resolutions Made Before Dec 27, All Work Finished but you open to past-life-blast style freaky synchronicity bonding. Prep also to vanquish ghosts from the past and do NOT go bigtime shopping  before the middle of Jan.

Think good but v.strong Astro-Weirding over the Xmas Hols phase.

Astro-Decor: Ines De La Fressange

The Selby

Ines De La Fressange is a Leo and whenever i read of her, it seems like she has the perfect job description for a Leo: Model, Mother, Muse, Fashion Designer, French Icon, Socialiste, Heiress, Decorator, Photographer and Fashionista. And in this pic, okay I can’t tell, but I am thinking here is La Leo on her gorgeous creamy white staircase (she has Mercury, Venus + Mars in Virgo so one assumes the staircase gets repainted every couple of months, yes?) and that she is posing in front of other pics of her in full fabulousity throttle….

Beryl Markham’s Birthday!

“Beryl Markham was one of the most extraordinary of explorers. But she was also an emotionally deprived child and, as an adult, a serious outlaw of love. She died in 1986 at the age of 83; that year was the fiftieth anniversary of her historic solo flight across the Atlantic…Imperious, ravishingly beautiful and fluorescent with life, she charmed her way from one continent to another. Though men baulked at her flagrant promiscuity, it didn’t stop them being drawn to her. Her lovers included some of the most famous artists, adventurers and scoundrels of her day. But then, she herself was a scoundrel. She never let a lie stand in the way of what she desired…”

“She often rescued pilots who had crashed. Thinking they were doomed, they would see a plane land brilliantly in the bad terrain, then a willowy figure climb out, dressed like a Vogue model in the white silk blouse that was her trademark, pale trousers, a silk scarf at the neck, her hair coiffed and her fingernails carefully painted, handing them a flask of brandy and grinning.”

Diane Ackerman

She was a super-gusty hi-qi Sun in Scorpio with Venus, Mercury & North Node all in Libra, squared by Saturn & trined by Pluto in Gemini. Her Mars is early Virgo, sextiling her Sun and Neptune & squaring Lilith.  It’s hard to know sans birthtime, but that Mars of hers must surely do something else quite full-on. Her Moon’s in Leo. Though Saturn-Pluto in hardcore natal aspect is amazingly motivating & regenerative…

Oh and she has a crater on Venus named after her.

“Did you read Beryl Markham’s book, West With The Night? …She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers … it really is a bloody wonderful book.” Ernest Hemingway

Happy Belated B-Day To The Brilliant Elinor Glyn – The It Woman…

October 19, 2009 in Astro In Books by Mystic Medusa | 11 comments

x14156October 17 was the birthday of Elinor Glyn, sensational writer of clit lit in the early 20th century…She coined the term “it girl” and pioneered bonkbuster fiction…Had seriously scandalous & interesting personal life AND did bloody well for herself…Her Mercury (always the first thing to look at with such successful writers and cultural stirrers) was opposite Neptune…She had a fantastic Grand Air Trine involving: Midheaven in Aquarius trine Sun-Saturn in Libra and Uranus in Gemini…Total sense for someone so unconventional and yet break-thru.

Venus was conjunct Jupiter and the North Node in Scorpio/the 6th house – really apt for a woman who made her fortune by working hard her whole life long about sex & love + expanding the societal possibilities.

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-Asterix and Obelix

October 2, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 17 comments

Good old indomitable Pagan Gauls Asterix, Obelix and their batty druid Getafix & guess what? Asterix and Obelix have an official birthday – given them by their creators Rene Goscinny & Albert Uderzo. It is October 29 1959…

This means the boys are multiple conjunct Scorps!  Sun, Mercury, Mars, Neptune and the South Node all together in Scorpio.  Their Venus in Virgo squares Jupiter in Saggo & the Jupiter trines Uranus in Leo. Sooo very fussy re women and the urge to wander (Jupiter in Saggo) conflicts with a possibly already fairly weak urge to mate.  Saturn in Capricorn represents a grounding/mentoring senex character in their life (The Druid and his magic potion) which they would need, as Mars-Neptune-Sun etc in Scorp would love a punch-up and to be eternally free.

The Full Moon…in Aries

Sunday is a Full Moon in action-Aries so it’s opposing the Sun in Libra, always a fun one for Aries style Respect issues to erupt. And it being in the signs of Venus (Libra) and Mars (Aries) opposing makes it sexy but hell on crap couples. Mercury is aligned with Saturn and Uranus with Juno – it’s like the Alphabet Vs The Goddess a la below! Or Elmer-Fudd consciousness v.s. Bugs Bunny Harebrained Trickster energy. Could be loads of fun polarised flirting and debate, so long as you haven’t got issues stewing beneath your serenity smirk.

Juno is the Queen of Heaven, Uranus is like Prometheus. Mercury is back on Saturn for the third time in a row, due to that retrograde. Messages you didn’t quite grok over the last few weeks are re-sent. Someone, you may realize, ain’t going to budge from whom he/she is. Be practical and energy conserving + observant of details (Mercury Saturn) to get more quickly to the Uranian-Juno blessings. And remember: couples in trouble find this a hard Moon. Hi-Qi peeps out for a good time may enjoy the heightened sexual tensions.

I LOVE the pic above. Raven mythology is sensational. Shall do an extended rave re it one day. O.m.g. the word ‘rave’ come from the olde English ‘raven’ – meaning to dream and wander. Ravens are SO magic.

Mercury Is Direct!

Merry Mercury Direct & now, well, things go faster and there should be heaps less of that mixed-messaging style confusion but as I say, Mercury Retrograde purists don’t count it as DONE until Mercury gets back to six degrees of Libra, the point at where it went Retro in the first place. How I Think This Works: The contracts signing being a bad idea, shit breaking down, crazy Freudian slippage and all that stuff is done once Mercury is Direct. But dialogue from as far back as mid-August still has a while to play out. There will be further developments on any important dialogue in that time. Or reversals. Weirdings. Revelations. Secrets. You get the idea. Particularly when Mercury Squares Pluto again for the third time in a row on October 11.

Fashion For Venus in Virgo?

Marios

Is this jacket-top-cum-leggings outfit insanely practical and thus worthy of being hailed as an appropriately Venus-in-Virgo innovation? Or just insane enough to be something you’d only purchase with Mercury Retrograde and perhaps in a Dionysian moment? And is the advantage is that if your out doing whatever t.f. it is you’d be doing in this outfit, that you would find it easier to quickly go to the lavatory???  And which sign would wear this?  I think maybe Gemini & she’d develop a fidgety habit of twanging the straps. Sagg would wear it once, for the convenience factor, but then fuq them up in the laundry.
