Look Smart

“JON SAVAGE: When were you born?

BJORK: November 21, 1965.

JS: On the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius.

B: My mum is heavily into these things, and apparently I’m as much Scorpio as one can be. To me, whether it means something or not – fuck that, I just love the symbolism of it. It’s pretty, like Greek and Nordic mythologies. I’m supposed to be run by Pluto. It’s like a fairy tale, it simplifies things.

JS: Is Nordic mythology similar to Greek?

B: It isn’t a copy, but it’s got the same characters. In mythology wherever you go, you’ve got the strong guy, the wise woman, the winners and the losers, the travelers and the domestic people. I always like the animals in mythology, like the ravens on Odin’s shoulders.

JS: Scorpio is all about life, death, and sex.

B: That doesn’t surprise me. My three fucking obsessions.

JS: Have you ever had your chart done?

B: My mum did it. I think she took me to all the occult creatures of Iceland, from the age of zero until I was eighteen, when I became a rebel anti-hippie. I got my fortune told and everything. I think I probably believe most of it, actually. I’ve got Pluto in a very important place, and that’s what I’m about. I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up. And kill it in the evening, which is a bit outrageous, but there you go.

JS: Hard work.

B: Heee! Well, maybe not every morning, but maybe twice a year I have to destroy everything. I’ve also got my moon in the twelfth house, in Scorpio, and my sun in Scorpio in the first house, and also Neptune. Then on my other half, my generational picture, I’ve got Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, and my midheaven is in conjunct with those two. Virgo is the sign of the nurse, so this means I was born to nurse my generation. I’m still fifty-fifty about whether this is true, but I was breast-fed on it.”

He’s So Vain But…Centaurs?

Sooo, an ex-lover of baseball champion Alex Rodriguez (A.k.a. A-Rod and the gentleman linked to Madonna for a bit) has come forth and told the NY Daily News that “his vanity is of mythic proportions.”

My god, the gentleman is a LEO and an wealthy, sports superstar Leo at that. I mean, what’s not to indulge there. But the Ex then claims that the gigantic pics of himself above the athlete’s bed are of him as a Centaur.

That’s interesting.  It makes me think that someone has done his chart and that he’s got Saggo Rising & thus he’s sort of working that. Because, some astrologers WOULD say that. I mean, to work the Sagittarius Rising angle, for extra luck. No birthtime online for  him but he’s got Neptune in Saggo at 9 degrees. Saggo Rising would fit as he is (a) obviously into sports and (b) he has a certain goo-goo eyed Neptunian charisma along with the Leonic stuff.

Or maybe he does not give a damn for his astro and he’s just really, really into Centaurs?

Or perhaps the ex-lover was a bit dim and the mythological creatures that A-Rod had himself painted into as gigantic portraits hanging above the bed (I would never do that but so totally admire the chutzpah) were something else…like Minotaurs? He has got Mars in Taurus.

Astro-Query: Whom Would You Have To Your Seance?

Luis Bunuel

Let me clarify the query: You are having a Seance & have somehow managed to be assured of a top-notch guest list. The presence of ONE passed on A-lister is guaranteed…Whom would you choose???  Mine would be the surrealist writer & film director Luis Bunuel. His autobiography My Last Sigh is one of my all-time fave reads.

He was Sun Sign Pisces with Neptune Rising in Gemini. Neptune Rising or otherwise prominent is so often found in the charts of great & influential cinema luminaries. It is also the astro-signature of a mystical and artistic calling. His Mercury in Pisces squared Pluto in Gemini; hence ability & compulsion to go sex-death-occult muckraking in a way that revolutionised movies. Uranus, Jupiter and North Node conjunct in Saggo/6th House. So, 6th House being what you do for ‘a living’ and to serve society he was destined to innovate it somewhat. If one is gonna get all karma-goo-goo over this, his 12th House South Node would indicate a sage who had reincarnated with the specific purpose of advancing society. His Mars in Aquarius (more iconclasm) is conjunct the Midheaven (drive to fame) and trine Neptune (he liked to get out of it but productively so)…

In April 2011 Neptune crosses Luis Bunuel’s Midheaven and what’s the bet there will be some interesting secrets or new work of his discovered?

Anyway, whom would YOU invite?

Astro-Baby…

By popular demand-nagging-guilting-wheedling, I am introducing a new feature – Astro-Baby!  I do find astrology a fascinating way to help understand your children. I have retrieved from the archives an old anecdote re my son – who is Kataka but with a multiple Leo conjunction – to illustrate & as I think it’s funny.  It’s below…I don’t do charts for children generally as it is nice to let them blossom and see how they manifest their astro. But they work really well…It’s good to look at some key points of their chart. eg; Having been fine at swimming as a toddler, my boy suddenly developed this extreme water phobia, which nothing would cure. Then one day at the swimming  pool, when he was about seven, he noticed two “older” girls staring at him and he dove straight in the deep end. Phobia cured.  That’s your multiple-Leo in action.

So is this;

He’s a teenager now. Mars, Mercury Jupiter all in Leo…Anyway, he went to the doctor, suspecting that he had picked up some vile gastric thing from his trip to Thailand…

Comes home, saying the doctor said he’s fine…

Me: Really?

Multi-Leo: Yeah. She was really attactive and she said i had amazing abs.

Me: What about the gastric thing?

Multi-Leo: Oh fine. But I said no to having diarrhea or flatulence because I didn’t want to ruin the image she so clearly had of me being really fit and all.

Me: Are you for real?

Multi-Leo: She thinks it might be something to do with our furniture…

Me: Furniture?  Did you actually go to see a DOCTOR? Or just chat up someone at the gym?

Multi-Leo: Yeah, she wants a stool sample. Do we even have any stools?

And with my daughter, she has Sun-Mars-Venus in Gemini/in the 5th house so absolutely craves creativity, art, knowledge & goss. But also Neptune Rising so slack at admin to a stupendous degree…She would rather draw or listen to music. Neptune Rising is beautiful, charismatic & artistic but can be hopeless re “reality.” But the Multi-Gemini means she has an astonishingly quick mind & encylopediac knowledge of about 100 people and their biz. She just knows things – every bit of info is processed, filed appropriately & stored.

So, without projecting a whole lot onto them, have a look at just your childs Sun, Rising and Moon sign – see if you can see how they’re operating…Nurture the Moon, respect the Rising & let the Sun just shine…And if they’re contradictory influences, see how you can help them work together a bit more. eg; Leo Rising is a show-off & will respond to music like you wouldn’t believe but if the Moon is in Scorpio, they need a locked box, secret diary sort of a thing and the absolute assurance of privacy.

Another example; My son’s Moon is in Virgo conjunct Venus so that’s innately health-conscious. He saw Supersize Me & totally altered his eating habits that very day. He invents his own little health rituals such as eating an entire garlic & fancy kinds of push-ups. So a Moon in Virgo child feels secure with healthy rituals & would love – for example-  his/her own diary or scheduler. A Moon in Libra child would be more likely to respond to aromatherapy than other Moons – maybe even tidy a room if they get to spritz a little something around later. Aries anything needs to compete & will go psycho-bats if give the kind of well-meaning goo-goo that they can’t. Taurus hates having their stuff moved around.

So I will do more along these lines in future Astro-Baby…

Mutable Women

tyra-banks-404_680690c

“…Tyra Banks, the creator, producer and host of “America’s Next Top Model“, is a hybrid animal. She doesn’t gravitate toward a single familiar archetype, as other female media barons do (eg, Martha Stewart’s über housewife, Rachael Ray’s perky girl’s girl), but divides her persona into four: diva, den mother, wackjob and tycoon, all of which battle for prominence in every episode of the show. It can be unsettling (or merely bewildering) to witness these shifts in personality, since every iteration is equally convincing. She is not a woman with whom you would want to be trapped in an elevator….”

Molly Young in The Economist

I find this quite interesting in that (a) she sounds like more or less most women to me and (b) I am sure there are plenty of peeps who would be happy to be stuck with Tyra in a lift, even should she speak in tongues & swivel her head around the full 360.

But my point; this is very, VERY typical of Mutable Women.  That is, a Pisces, Gemini, Saggo or Virgo. It is not in their nature to be consistent. The men too but they tend to be more culturally encouraged into fixed personae.  Tyra has Sun, Neptune & the North Node all together in Saggo. Of course she is mutable AND doing it on mass market live television. We have talked about strong Neptune types before. If they’re not succumbing to Neptunian substances, they’re beguiling a big audience. eg; the classic example – Marilyn Monroe with it rising in Leo.

UPDATE: ALL RIGHT THIS IS TYRA AND THE ABOVE IS NAOMI.  I WAS GOOGLING IMAGES & THE SEARCH RESULT SAID TYRA & I WAS TIRED, JUST WANTING TO ILLO MY TYRA POINT & I LOVED THE IMAGE…AND NAOMI IS MUTABLE TOO…SUPER-GEM…

Not Forgetting Russell Brand

“…The queen said she wished it was me that broke into her bedroom….”  Russell Brand

He’s such a Gemini man & I totally didn’t want to like him but Russell Brand’s performance in the otherwise sooo forgettable Forgetting Sarah Marshall – as this really up-himself Boho sex-godly yet inane rock star – is hilarious. In case you don’t know his work, he’s a Brit comic, tall, complicated Goth looking and openly sex-obsessed ex-drug/drink addict who has just chronicled (somehow really amusingly, from the bits I have read) his previously degenerate life in a an autobio. He’s hilarious. Yet vile.

This Daily Beast review nails him and it’s so funny as it coudl describe many a Gemini man, no?

“…Upon first impression, Russell Brand is incredibly charming, gut-bustingly funny and endearingly self-deprecating; the kind of person who makes you feel like you’re the lucky attendee at an exclusive party of you and him. But as time passes, the cloying neediness behind the charm occasionally flickers forward, and the veil of self-deprecation is pulled back to reveal a relentless narcissism. As an experience it’s fascinating, but ultimately exhausting….”

And then Russell Brand describes HIMSELF thus: “If you strip away self-effacement, charm, and the spirit of mischief… you’re left with a right asshole.”

He actually IS a Gemini but his chart (no birthtime) is really interesting:  Venus square Uranus and Mars square Pluto trine Neptune. Mercury trine Uranus. Neptune square Sun.  So his Sun, Mars and Venus are all the subject of tight squares from heavy Outer Planets. So he’s an extremophile and he would have loads of challenges – obviously – to crunch through pre-Saturn-Return. But he’s cracked the code of them and turned what could have been merely an ultimately leaden and merciliess drug etc addiction into gold. And managed to mine the humour…I’m guessing the Neptune is rising in Saggo…I mean, the candour (not just about drugs but about such things as being horrendously fat as a child etc) the height (Sagg Rising usually v.tall) and the camera loves him.

Mercurial Bats Headline 2: Did David Bowie Cause The Credit Crunch?

david-bowie-220

Did David Bowie Cause The Credit Crunch? from the Daily Mirror is definitely the next best Mercurial Bats -Retro-Mercury In Aquarius headline after the Robbie Williams UFO hunting one.

Bowie is another one of those super-charismatic & transmitting-direct-to-the-collective-consciousness Neptune Rising types a la Marilyn Monroe. He is a Capricorn (Sun, Mercury and Mars conjunct) with Moon in Leo but has Neptune Rising in Libra sextiled by Pluto.

His site.
