The Moon near Neptune makes for beautiful dreaming & sacred shamanic sort of carry-on, if you can rouse yourself from the Dark Moon torpor. Perfect also for Tarot, meditation, steampunk, reverie a la music but only contemporary as this is an Aqua Moon, remember. Fab for science AND magic – weren’t they once one and the same? Haute Objectivity helps counter some of the crappier too-soon urges of newly direct Mars. Where-ever you can, hold back and stage a grand re-entry with the New Moon.

Baking a cake is always a good cure for the Dark Moon but this one is in Aqua, so it would need to be a cake of some weirding.
This Moon is opposite Mars so perfect for emotionally processing recent Mars Direct insights & yes, they’re there all right and mostly re men, fathers, ex-lovers, men of the past, men of the future, men-men-men, your Animus if you are a female, brothers, sons and all of the Mars issues in your life, such as summoning up courage to go forward when you need to, shut up when you’d rather mouth off.
Dark Moon in Aqua is also a beautiful detached lunar vibe & the trine to Saturn brings some prudence but not of the variety that feels like a drag…And Merry Mars Direct!!!!
I actually had a dream of such power that i awoke literally at the moment Mars went Direct & yes the dream was a la a male in my family with whom i have enjoyed an estrangement for some time AND it coincided with an amazingly crook neck. Sometimes it is hard not to believe in that psycho-soma stuff about your body mirroring the mind.
So i got to lie there in the earl am with Deep Heat fumigating the room, thinking deep psych thoughts as the bats fought lorikeets for nectar in the tree outside my bedroom.
That’s super-Dark-Moonie, no?
Oh and while the Moon is in Aquarius (ruled by Saturn AND Uranus) which it is now and all Friday no matter WHERE you are in the world, think about the next swing around of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. Apart from all the stuff I have banged on about already, think about the potential of Uranian consciousness to bring about a swift thawing of Saturnine frost…Unsticking something that has become the status quo, not necessarily because of how great it is but just because it kinda got stuck there over time.
Today is the birthday of Rosa Parks, the American Civil Rights legend, whose refusal to give up her seat for a white person was a catalyst for the human rights movement. They had what basically amounted to bus-apartheid back in the 1950s & this Aquarius wasn’t putting up with it. That led to a boycotting of the bus system and so on…Voila, today America has President Obama. Amongst other “coloured” luminaries…
She’s actually a multiple conjunct Aquarius: Sun-Mercury-Moon-Uranus. Try shutting that one up. The embodiment of the pragmatically visionary and ahead of their time haute Aquarius and a spooky-cute fact: Her Sun is bang-on the Aquarius Ascendent of President Obama.
Okay guys – the Moon is in Aquarius and nearing Jupiter + Neptune. This is like Lucid Dreaming Central. I am going to try an old thing i read and i CANNOT recall where it comes from…ancient, i suppose. They say you get a picture of a Snake and ask it a question just before you go to bed. You put the Snake picture under your pillow and voila – the answer by morning or early the next day. No i don’t know the origin but the Snake has always been credited with wisdom and in some traditions, knowing every secret in the world. So who is IN??? We do it tonight, check back in the morning.
And this is cool:
“…It was in Crete that the snake aspect of the Mother Goddess religion reached its highest development and there the beautiful remains of a great civilisation have been unearthed. The snake in Cretan society represented the wisdom of the goddess and was associated with life, death and regeneration. Venerated as a protector of the household, the snake was considered the reincarnation of a dead family member. Special rooms equipped with snake tubes (which enabled snakes to travel through the house) were found in many homes…”
The Dinner Party – Judy Chicago. If you are interested in goddessy, feminista, witchy-poo art stuff & are not aware of the installation, check it out a.s.a.p.
It’s a super-strong Aquarian Moon as Mercury stations Direct. Ultra-aware and ultra restless. Very intellectual & insane cravings for space. Artemis is fast approaching the Auspicious Aqua Weirding so lots of good things developing even as these last days of Saturn chez Virgo make it mega apparent what platform is crumbling beneath our sexy barefeet. And dreams??? Sooo lucid. Remember this sort of hi-Qi Uranian energy thrashes the nerves if you don’t nutrionally sustain and hydrate yourself.
“Lady Mystic,
For all the astrology info out there on the net you are my one and only because I love your attitude. Your blog is a pleasure to read AND informative. Also the way you mix astrology/herbology/life-ology together whilst remaining awesome and normal – there are some really bizarre people out there on the net.
Now, my point: I have an astrological scent query.
What part of our astrology do you think it is that perfumes/scents appease? Venus? Sun? Moon? Or is it house-related? Also, do you think particular signs are attracted to particular scents? (send recipes for enchanting virgos with strong libran influences my way, please! and don’t say ’soap’). I have read your few astro-beauty posts about perfume, which do suggest certain signs are more into perfumes than others, but that’s not quite what I mean. I am particularly asking about scents and smells that may be more or less attractive to some signs, not just fashion related desires for latest gimmick perfumes from celebrities etc.
Small anecdote:
Me: pisces with venus in pisces. Him: virgo with venus in libra.
So I start seeing this guy 9 months ago, realise very quickly my personal hygiene/turn-out needs to be upped a thousand fold (piscean with aquarius moon – I can be a little all-over-the-place). Enter my secret weapon: The Signature Scent. At 23, I buy my first perfume for myself. I saw one picture of the bottle for L de Lolita Lempicka and that was it for me (look it up – total mermaid fantasy! As if I could resist. Plus, not a mainstream perfume – an added bonus). Looked up the notes: bitter orange, cinnamon, immortelle, vanilla, woods, solar notes, musk – didn’t sound too bad! And as it turns out when I got my hands on a bottle, I liked the scent!
Anyway, it becomes my one and only scent. Everytime I am going to see him, I am wearing it. Now I am in Paris and we’re not going to see each other again ’til late January… innocent man seems to think the fact that the side I slept on in his bed smells like me (read: reeks of my perfume) is a sentimental nicety given to him by the universe. Bwahahahaaa. I also plan love-letters soaked in it.
What do you think of my scent-warfare, is it enough to keep me active in my virgo-with-venus-in-libra’s thoughts?Keep on being amazing,
Nancy, The Aspiring Piscean Seductrix”
Dear Nancy, The Aspiring Piscean Seductrix,
First of all, congrats for knocking out my formatting! How strong is that Lolita thingie stuff? That it can alter my font/format-set up? Jeez.
2nd: Flattery works. Thank you.
3rd: Scents Virgos like? See Virgophilia. They like EARTH. Wash in organic soap (something organic and citrussy) and then exfoliate. Shower again. Apply clean organic body oil. Then achieve orgasm. Then go and exercise. Follow up with some weeding and/or baking. Dab a bit of vanilla behind your ears to appease his Libran bits.
4th: Yes Scent warfare works but you need other things to back it up. And, should he ever – for some bizarre reason – go off you, or the thing cools, you can look psycho sending perfume drenched notes. Scent was how peeps used to trace adultery in the days before technology and strong laundry products.
5th: The Olfactory nerve is the only nerve stemming from inside the brain (close to the limbic region/memory et al) and that is outside the body…ie: near the nostril opening. Do i have that WAY wrong?
6th: Is the Virgo to be the only victim/beneficiary of your Scent Warfare? Do you have other weapons?
7th: There are stacks of perfume postings on this blog!
8th: I am insane for L’Heure Bleu (The Blue Hour) but too freaked to smell it lately in case it has been tweaked by the same peeps who’ve stuffed up some other scents i’ve loved. Accountants should not be allowed to redesign classic scents made with natural essences by substituting olfactory fragments gleaned from fly spray components.
9th; Libra & Pisces are the most scent-aware signs. I whacked some patchouli oil (essential pure) on last Tues, washed several times since – obviously – and the Piscean Beauty Fanatic hugged me today and beamed with delight- “You smell divine- is it patchouli?!” Now, THAT is a nose.
10th; If you really want to scent-attack the Virgo, incorporate some essential oils (more emotional-psyche affecting) and/or a scent that is way harder to get than LL. Consider also rushing in through the balcony doors, thunder outside, in your wet nightie or whatever and with huge bunch of peonies…
A waxing Moon in Aquarius nearing Neptune & voila, over the TOP dreams with great psychological import if you can but hold on to them and remember a bit in the morning. Mine last night were so completely beautiful and wild that I am still high on them, even amidst an ultra busy Virgo-style day.
Try the thing tonight where you ask a question upon going to sleep and your dream answers by morning. Some say you write it on a little note and slip it under your pillow. Of course there is the beautiful lavender oil for tranquility induction and dream enhancement. The Moon touches Neptune but once a month and it’s always the most gorge zone for lucid/psychologically insightful/telepathic dreaming. Especially when it is waxing to being Full as it is right now.
In the sky right now, you can see Jupiter below and to the right of the Moon….if you had alien-style eye sight, you would also be able to see Neptune & Chiron. So it’s the Moon in Aquarius whizzing along to conjoin Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune…A rare degree of emo insight if you can STAND the Aquarian energy & amazing dreams too…
Random Aqua-Man Note: I rang an Aquarian man today as he’d been calling, texting and e-mailing me for ages but i’ve been too busy & distracted…So i call him and i could SENSE his deflation that i’d called back. It was like i was the Road-Runner, stopping for a nap in the middle of the road. No more thrilling ordering of crap bird catching contraptions and rocket launchers from Acme. No more Quest. I have said it before and I will say it again, Aqua-Men are poster boys for ‘treat-him-mean-keep-him-keen’…
AND, for reasons i can not eludicate here, those of you peeps who enjoy this site but have not yet subscribed to even the Daily Mystic (it is but $5.50 a month), please consider it…it is a way of keeping this site here!
Also,whom would like to compare Eclipse Notes – what started in early 2008 and is ending now???
Now that the Moon is near Full, sextiling Uranus and close to the destiny-reeking North Node, there is a higher-than-usual chance of sudden breakthroughs, emo insights re the past-present-future continuum & releases. Totally have a big pad by your bed to note down the ideas/dreams upon awakening.
The novelist Jeanette Winterson has got this gorgeous essay about the Moon;
“…In 1955 Walt Disney showed a private screening of his new film Man and the Moon to President Eisenhower and his generals at the Pentagon. Three months later the USA announced that they would be sending a satellite into space….
…The earliest written moon story is by Lucian, the Greek, in the second century AD, where he describes the moon, not as a barren rock, but as ‘a great country in the air, like to a shining island.’ Thomas Moore had this text in mind when he wrote his philosophical tract, Utopia, in 1515 – ‘the island of Utopia is shaped like a new moon…’
Most writers thought of the moon as colonised by a race morally superior to our own. When Cyrano de Bergerac – he of the long nose and passion for Roxanne – went to the moon in 1656, he found that Adam and Eve and St John the Evangelist had set up camp there. Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe, wrote a political novel, The Consolidator, in 1705, in which it is possible to travel from China to the moon, where his hero learns lessons in good government….”
The rest is here.
Yo, Find-My-Goddess dude, all is forgiven! Okay, Ryan O’Neal seems like an abject prick. Having a background in journalism, i tend not to judge peeps being slagged off in the media, as i know how easily they can be stitched up, taken out of context etc. But the Daily Mail’s “I Chatted Up My Own Daughter At Farrah Fawcett’s Funeral” article on Ryan O’Neal is SOMETHING ELSE.
It is short & basically a pithy little summary of the Vanity Fair piece out soon but YICK.
So, okay, I whip up his chart and go looking for astrological prick indicators (A.P.I.) and voila – the classic afflicted Mars. Ladies and male gays, take note. The “afflicted” Mars is the classic astro-omen of trouble when you are looking at men. Not all men with a trickily aspected Mars are difficult pricks with drugs or violence issues but plenty are. PLEASE don’t e-mail me to defend your precious snookums who has never laid a hand on you excepting for tantric sex at which he excels and he always puts the rubbish out sans complaint. I am just saying that in SOME cases, a man with Mars square his Saturn, Uranus, Pluto or Neptune can be a piece of work.
Ryan O’Neal is a multiple conjunct Taurus. He has Sun Venus at Zero degrees Taurus so there is sex appeal, beauty and charm for sure, prob v.strong before dissipated. And so Sun, Venus, Lilith, Part of Fortune, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus ALL In Taurus and all in the 11th house. Which gives him a strong Aqua-Uranian flavour. So he is a multiple conjunct Taurus + it’s squaring his Mars and Moon in Aquarius…So he’s a Fixed Square in motion. Could be a saint, of course, but also immense frustration & could alternate between cloying neediness/control freakery and Aqua spaciness/don’t fence-me-in OR ELSE. Just to add to the fixed square theme, he’s got squares from Pluto in Leo as well.
And he’s got Neptune all over his Aqua-Moon this year & next so now what? MORE Neptunian substances??? He could claim to be in touch with Farrah Fawcett from the Other Side and try to set up a church. Neptune-Moon can be super-spiritual and awakening but given the Daily Mail story above, I am not confident of this guy’s form. Seriously read it!
And, given the massive conflict between Taurus & Aquarius in this guys chart, what could have done (or do!) to create a better expression of it??? He’s Cancerian Rising so parenthood could have been his salvation. But, well, hitting on your daughter at your lovers funeral AND introducing another child to drugs – allegedly – would be an odd form of it, no? Poor Farrah.
