THE TRANSIT LOUNGE: Pimp Your Planet

February 11, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 84 comments

Remedios Varo

I’m feeling the wildest thing & it’s hard to put into words. But I think it’s the Chiron-Neptune weirding. The sensation is that everything is meant-to-be, that certain things happened for a reason, trusting one’s angels etc. See? My actual feeling is not so naff. Anyway, magic is all about.

Now, let’s do our major transits du jour.

If you are an Astro-Fiend, what is your major transit of the moment and how are you going with it?

If you’re not – here is a handy way to figure out at least something that is going on, just via your birthdate. That is, transits to the Sun.

If you’re an early born Libra, Cancer, Capricorn or Aries then you are having both Saturn & Pluto up your arse affecting you this year. By early-born, i mean Libras born in Sept, Caps born in December, Cancerians born in June and Arieans born in March. So you lot are like transformation city. Saturn alone is like stripping down your life scenario to the basics, restructuring the lot and with a particular emphasis on health & wealth. Pluto adds psychological oomph so you can see a lot of emo reasons behind your functioning. So depth psych AND you get your taxes/weight/crap habits/debt or whatevs into major order.

Born around the middle of Feb, May, November or August: Happy Neptune transit. If you guys are not so out of it all the time that you’re not getting it, your consciousness is being raised mega-high. This is powerful Shamanic & evolutionary energy…Other worlds, astral travel, meditation to the max, psychic OR you can be having Happy Hour down at the Hoochy-Koo Voodoo Bar with your married lover, having worn out every clairvoyant in town with your shrill desperation re when he/she/it is going to be free to honour your ‘destined’ love affair. Or maybe you’re whacked out on happy-weed, communing with your spirit guide from Atlantis.

Late Pisces, Virgo, Saggo and Gemini (born in the last week of their sign) are having a merry Uranus transit but still with a little bit of Saturn stuff to tidy up between now and August. So the total individuation and liberation that is the promise of a well-managed Uranian transit WILL be theirs if they can but do the Saturnine due diligence (see above re diets, health, budgeting, sanity, sleep, structure etc)in the meantime. Uranus is like your life, your terms and tolerances fall away. If you’ve got a talent or a true nature – out it comes. Tres emancipated and youthifying. Hell on moribund relationships. Even harder than a Pluto transit, in that respect. Boredom threshold drops way low. Peeps having a Uranus transit wake up and say something like “I’m sorry but did you just ask me what time I think I’ll be home tonight? Dude, I am OFF.”

If you’re NOT one of these b-days, it doesn’t mean you’re not having a major transit – these are just what I can figure out from transits to the Sun. But have a go figuring it out – you can also look them up via Astrodienst. The BIG ones – Saturn, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune will always be the astro-passages that you’re best off making your theme for the year.

Astro-Gaga: What Sign Is She?

So what sign is this would-be equestrienne?

One naturally thinks Sagg but would a Sagg honestly be caught dead (or alive) with her hair up, eating an apple and clutching a saddle next to a plastic horse? On a plinth?

No-no-no. Saggo women cannot even BEAR to have their hair done. It’s all about the breeze baby.

So is this a Piscean having a major Neptune trip? Like, she’s come into some $$$ (who knew her taste in scoundrels could be so lucrative?), got the Hermes saddle (because she feels bonded with the brand from sitting up late drinking lo-carb wine reading fash-mags for so many nights whilst the scoundrel was off on his biz trips) & has just remembered she has a horse phobia?

A Leo posing for her new passport photo?

Or was the Horse real about five minutes ago she is actually a Scorpio Witch who’s just had him turned to styro-something for snickering at her outfit?

She has an Apple. Could this be Eve?  Reincarnated now and seeking her Adam?  Thoughts?

Neptunian Dreaming: Now & For The Next Seven Days

Never mind Saturn…Well, it never pays to set Saturnine reality TOO aside but think about this!!!!

Neptune is in total slo-mo, prepping to turn Direct next week. Now and the next seven days feature super-lucid-dream-imagery and messaging. Are your dreams just a neural dump? Shift your bed, clean under it, smudge, change bed direction…do something. And let this post be where we interpret our dreams! Some of you are damn good at it! I still remember how wowed i was with your interps on Pimp My Dream! I’ll bung my latest extravaganza in the comments stream later.

But,please, keep a pad or a dream diary beside your place of sleep. Neptune Direct may space out everyday life a bit (not so much as usual with Saturn all spruced up in a new sign and EXALTED!) but the Neptunian weirding really comes into its own during one’s REM. Neptunian types are more psychic too…

Downside?  The Usual Lower Neptunian issues; drugs, grifting, no boundaries, mad sensitivity to even normal drugs such as coffee, dental gas, self-pitying martyr act.

Arrows Of Time

My lovely friend Kim Falconer’s new book Arrows Of Time is out.  I loved the Spell Of Rosette and this is the 2nd in the series.  It reminds me of my fave classics: Ursula K Le Guin, Madeleine L’Engle, Tanith Lee…What is awesome about Kim’s fiction is that it works as a thriller and as science fantasy but she actually uses PROPER magic in them…So the herblore, martial arts Qi stuff and astrology is all totally accurate. It makes for a more satisfying read. I cannot bear books that pretend to be all about witches or whatever but they mix up mugwort with hemlock or something. I also love the idea of time travelling expert swordswomen witches who are also brilliant at computers & quantum physics.

And so anyway, I have interviewed Kimmy!

MYSTIC: Please can you give a quick precis of this book – the 2nd in a series – for those not familiar with your work?

KIM FALCONER The Quantum Enchantment Series is ’speculative fiction’–a story about real people up against the wall, immersed in nano-technology and witchcraft, sentient and gender biases, fast horses, hot bards, stunning tattoos and environments on the brink of destruction. It has elements of fantasy, science fiction and magical realism, exploring the relationship between magic and technology, thought and energy in parallel worlds. Book one, The Spell of Rosette, begins the journey–a coming of age for a young witch. Arrows of Time, book 2, continues the story. It is set in three worlds experiencing multiple sequences of time.

MYSTIC: Kimmy, I love how you weave actual magic, spellcraft, herblore and – of course – astrology into your fiction. Can you give me an example from Arrows Of Time?

KIM FALCONER: There are a lot of astrological references in the whole series. One example is when Kreshkali reflects on how An’ Lawrance’s accepts his new apprentices.
Excerpt: ‘Not bad for a man with his moon in the fixed sign of the Scorpion. Change didn’t come easy for such a placement, nor did letting go of grudges, but he’d handled it with near effortlessness, if you didn’t count the grumbles, scowls and derogatory annotations.’
Hara, or Qi energy is a strong element in my novels — it is the source of magical power after all. Because some of the main characters wield Samurai swords, you’ll see them channelling their energy, using the sword as a conduit and then, well, depending on whether it’s training or a real confrontation, heads may roll!

MYSTIC You are a whiz at Horary Astrology- please explain how it works and why you’re so good at it?

KIM FALCONER: Horary astrology was developed at a time when few charts were drawn for individuals, save royalty. Many people didn’t even know their birth day let alone time so if they wanted to consult ‘the stars’ it couldn’t be done through the birth chart. Enter the horary method! It is a chart done for the moment in time ‘you ask the question’. The interpretation is made through a symbol system that derives meaning from planetary motions. The idea of horary–which is deeply explored in Arrows of Time through a conversation between Kreshkali and her apprentice–is not causal (not planets causing events) but synchronicity—meaningful coinciding of planets with events. Why do I have a knack for reading them? It’s really all about practice–I’ve been doing them for a long long time!

MYSTIC: What are your thoughts on the upcoming Saturn-square Pluto in Capricorn aspect – in late November…Do you agree with me that it’s going to be a real “tell” of how Pluto in Cap is likely to manifest over the next few years???

KIM FALCONER: Saturn often coincides with a big dose of ‘reality’ so in that sense yes, it will be telling. On a personal level I think it will be very significant for relationships of all kinds. Saturn is exalted in Libra and whenever he’s found in this sign, he cleans house in the relationship department. For those who have a clear, beautiful, openhearted love life, they will find it deepening–things get richer–better! For those ‘tolerating’ partnerships that are no longer authentic or nurturing, the strength to make creative change–and the impulse to do so–will be at hand.

MYSTIC: I absolutely love the character of the witch genius and fighter Rosette – what is her astro?

KIM FALCONER: Rosette, born in Gaela, has sun in the sign of the Twins (Gemini) a Water-bearer moon (Aquarius) square Uranus and the Lion (Leo) rising . She has one heck of a Neptune transit to her sun in Arrows of Time–it has quite a literal effect!

MYSTIC: Whenever we talk, I always love how your positive philosophy seems to sort of blend Law of Attraction stuff with very practical astrology, goddess worship and quantum physics. Is it poss for you to please precis your philsophy?

KIM FALCONER: My motto is –We are spiritual beings in physical bodies here to experience life. From that perspective, we can drop words like ‘good’ and ‘bad’, ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ and replace them with notions of ‘alignment’, ‘vibration’ and ‘energy’. I also believe that we ‘get what we vibrate’. When I attract something to me that I don’t like, the first thing I ask is, what does this have to do with me? It helps in seeing the world from a different angle! (or angel :)

Astro-Mel Gibson

So, His Holy Hotness is getting a divorce. I used to totally adore him but went off HHH sometime around What Women Want , that religious movie, his hideous anti-gay/anti-sem rant when arrested driving drunk but whilst trying to find a suitable image to illo this post on Astro-Mel, i began to like  him all over again.

BTW: Speaking of Gibson’s artistic cred, has anyone SEEN Apocalypto? I wanted to see it for all the mythical themes but was put off by hearing it apparently horrendously gory. Like the Christ movie he made.

His astro-deets are interesting…Capricorn Sun with Kataka rising (those goo-goo eyes) & Moon in Libra. His Moon is natally square his Sun and Pluto is now squaring the Moon, before moving onto the Sun in a few years. So it’s catharthis central chez Mel, especially so far as it relates to women. He’d feel like he HAS to be real emotionally, authentic & all. Some say the dipsomania over the years a mask for gayness but there is currently a “mystery brunette” (female) being cited in various media.

Pluto is also right now trining his Jupiter in Virgo. This whole thing is going to somehow wind up being very good for him. He’s got a super-determined & success-driven Mars-Saturn in Scorpio but it has been dissipated a bit by Neptune in the last few years. Neptune transits can be religion, psychic awareness, haute art etc. Or…The internets full of pix of a recent-Mel boozing it up in what look like suburban bars all over the place. And I’d rather post pix of His Holy Hotness in full heat mode than his ghastly mug shot.

Finally, Uranus is moving up to his Midheaven; there this year and next. Career genius or the potential of it and a radically reinvented  public image. Note that the Saturn-Uranus opposition was across his IC-MC axis and at the same time that Pluto squaring that make-nice/put up with crap for the sake of official harmony Libran Moon. Cancerian/Kataka Rising & Cap Sun would not want to break up the family either.  So…what Uranian genius will His Holy Hotness come up with? Uranus on the Midheaven does not equate well to religious bigotry nor closetted ANYTHING.
