Okay so what are your Decadence Settings for this holiday season?

Are any of you planning to go totally ape at some party?  Hide out at a health farm for the duration and emerge looking sensational in January whilst all your friends cower on their couches reading self-help books or yet to emerge from their Carb Coma???

My feeling is that the Mutables (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces) will be celebrating Saturn having gotten off their arse. And Pluto too. They will be in a mood to reprise the decadent self of their yesteryear, only with some of their hardwon sagacious wisdom blended in to the madness. They’re thinking strategic pulling, no nonsense and no Qi wasted on twerps or pointless liasions. See? Saturn worked. But make no mistake about it, they’re getting ready to act up.

Those signs currently under the pump of Saturn and Pluto: Aries, Libra, Cancerians and Capricorns will be looking at working way up to the last possible minute, maintaining their health regimens with absolute rigour & trying not to resent the enforced sloth and frivolity too much.

So we’re looking at the Fixed Signs – Aquarius is v.sensitive due to all the Neptunian/Chironic/Jovial action in their sign so they may be adopting a more spiritual-edge celebratory attitude this year. An official love-in. Taurus is – as always – fantastic at relaxing and banqueting, regardless of the occasion. If it’s trad  in their circles to get trashed and dance on the table wearing nothing but a bit of tinsel, then Taurus will do it, no worries.

Scorpio & Leo are both equally determined to do the season on old-school, Saturnalia style; huge floral arrangements, grandiose tie-breaking with all ex-lovers, mead or a version there-of and sex.

Someone should quickly open an Xmas/New Year Retreat for Capricorns who are not in the mood to do Christmas, their birthday, carbs or leisure.

“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.”

Neptune is nearly Direct & for the next few days this means Neptune RULES: You could be drunk all the time but in kind of a happy, nebulous, creative and Neptunian way. Drunk writing poetry as opposed to drunk sending shitty texts to your ex or google-stalking or watching crap tv.

Dreams will be SO intense & lucid. I am sure you are all sick of me carrying on and ON about this but i am convinced – still – that keeping a dream diary is the most cost-effective and amazing form of psychic awareness possible. And that the more you consciously try to work with dreams, the more they communicate with you. Did I tell you my incredible Bast dream already?

Neptune energy may also be a bit vague so take care & realise that you may be super-sensitive & it’s Okay…Moon in Gemini, Saturn in Libra square Pluto makes for an interesting backdrop. I am going to do an extended Saturn-Pluto rant in the Daily Mystic for subscribers…

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.

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.

Sunday night & no matter where you in the multiverse – there is still enough of the Neptune enhancement happening to have a fabulously High Functioning Flake Neptunian style night, a slightly lower Neptunian dipsomaniac episode or both!  Haute Neptune is you leaping into bed with the mugwort,  some crystals, sleep balm, lavender, head of bed freshly bunged in the right direction (but not North, not this year), Soul Restoration Serum bunged on your fizzog, some sexy whale music, those scary-in-the-morning Japanese detoxifying footsie pads & a Shamanic determination to journey through your past lives/astral travel or SOMETHING…

But, of course, the fresh feisty vibe of Mars arcing up in Leo and the New Moon in free-loving Libra could send some peeps out on a spontaneous primordial lower-Neptunian sex-ego-honouring binge. Not me. I’m doing the crystals etc. But I am sensing the vibe and it’s a good thing by utterly new mobile fone does not feature deets for any of the Aquarians. Mars in Leo with Moon-Venus in Libra could look in the mirror, wow him/herself out with how hot the hair looks, be amazed at how eloquent their skim-read of the newspaper has made them and decide to go trotting out for a quick go-see.

Note also; Saturn still in Virgo – till the 30th, those irksome details and your high-faluting scheme to deal with them won’t just drizzle away AND Mars is quincunxing Leo…sex & power-tripping behind the scenes for some.

SO YOU GET THE IDEA…You could be feeling a bit like this:

Happy New Moon in Libra and, as you know, it is enhanced/trined by beautiful Neptune…Hence the classic New Moon fresh beginning vibe is super-responsive to visualisation, hypnosis and generally dreaming your way into the future you desire…And behold! Kim Falconer sends me her guest post from Jeanette Maw’s Good Vibe Blog…It’s super-apt…here is a bit but you can click thru to read the whole thing…

“…Many of you have heard me talk about astrology and law of attraction, but for those who haven’t, here ‘s the nut shell: Astrology (the birth time and place) doesn’t determine our character. It’s the other way around. We’re born at a particular time because of who we are. We don’t reflect the moment of birth—it reflects us!  Our astrology cannot limit conscious awareness, however it can offer timely insights and support along the way to our enlightenment.

It is in this spirit I offer these tips under the New Libra Moon!

Tip one: Find your story

To alter your thoughts about love (i.e. improve your love life) you have to know what they are in the first place. The quickest way to find out is to ask. ‘What’s my story?’ (In six words or less please. Any longer and it’s the gremlins talking.) If you think it’s too hard to say it in so few worlds, relax. Your unconscious took care of it for you long ago. (Handy if the words are I have a wonderful love life. Or, Love is bliss. Or, I’m so darn lucky in love.  Not such a bonus if it out to be, Men suck.

No matter what you might be doing to shift your love vibe around, things aren’t going to budge while your story remains unconscious. When unknown, the story is fate—it creates your ‘relationship reality’. If I say, ‘all the good ones are taken,’ sure enough when I look for them, their taken! (This is something I used to say a lot and demon’s fire if it wasn’t true . . . until I changed my tune!)…”

Dark Mooned out???  It is SUCH a powerful fresh start vibe on the weekend; Mars Into Leo for over eight months and a Neptune enhanced New Moon in Libra…That alone makes the Dark Moon more of a drag AND more empowering if you go with it. Think also this: Saturn is tromping over the last degrees of Virgo…

Yes, he comes back and goes over these last few degrees again  next year but it will be a repeat. So admin hell is a hint to make deeper shifts in your systems & life arrangements – go with that. And a phase that began late Sept 2007 is now coming to an end. In just 16 days: Saturn in Libra!!!

Will post later on about Neptunian New Moon enhancements…

YAY! Jupiter is Direct today!!!! Tues night is thus perfect for some grandiose resolutions. Remember it’s Jupiter in Aquarius so make them as ostentatious,  utopian and bats as possible. It’s Jupiter so nix self-doubt with Saggo-style gusto. It’s the Dark Moon so you are still resting in prep for the seriously full on new phase starting next week – these resolutions  need not be affirmed with champagne or yelling. Jupiter is heading forward to conjunct Chiron and Neptune again – the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding is on again. Think: Unusual ways to totally reinvent everything and turn it into a haute Aquarius vision of modern living. Yes, despite Pluto in Cap & whatever Saturn is doing du jour.

Everyone: Please post your most brilliant and O.T.T. Jupiter Direct Vows of Extreme Fabulousity….

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.
