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:

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-Beauty: Raw Food & Polyphasics

July 7, 2009 in Astro-Beauty, Astro-Cliches, Astro-Fitness by Mystic Medusa | 29 comments

Despite the Eclipse, my friend Aqua-Girl is loving her Polyphasic Sleep Cycling.  Appropriately, for a Full Moon in Capricorn, she says sleeping just a few hours a day has made her way more productive but with a few unexpected side effects.

(1) She only likes Raw Food now. (2) She has become obsessed with make-up in a way that she has never experienced in her life before. In one week of raw foods and polyphasic sleep cycling, she is like a devotee of extreme cosmetics, avidly seeking the advice of cosmetics professionals & trying on complicated but genius LOOKS.

Re the Raw Food thing – whenever i try it, i HATE it as I have genetics (German) that predispose me to potatoes & bread but i LOOK amazing on it. It’s unreal and a scene unto itself. Just like polyphasic sleep cycling.I got a raw food cookbook once that enslaved me with its evolutionary zeal and claims until i realised that to make half the stuff in there, i needed some sort of $1000 magic zilcher thing.

Raw Food does seem very Aqua & though it has been around since the 1930s – at least – when a Taurean nutritionist named Gaylord Hauser had Hollywood stars in thrall to  his eating, exercise & skincare regimes. Okay, so my theory is that Aquarius/11th House/Uranian types are way more likely to experiment with their food & sleep cycles. My Aquarius father was constantly tinkering with time and nutritional concepts.

Next to Aquarius would be Scorpio? Scorps are big into the macrobiotic, Tantric and kundalini end of things, which they then compensate with the occasional Neptunian binge-up of low-Qi toxins. And then, I think, Virgo. They’re not so bats or free-form as Aquarius or Aqua Types though. Virgo will pick one dictate – one nutritional school and follow it for a bit. Whereas Aqua alters the thing according to whim. Scorp wins for sheer bravery – nobody out-does Scorp at purgings, detoxings & committment.

Gemini + Sagg will eat weird & ethnic food but A.D.D. doesn’t allow for strange regimes. Aries thinks they’re inane. Taureans, Leo & Cancerians are too gourmet to give anything up. Librans & Pisceans will go on a regime for the sake of love or beauty but their heart is  not really in it & they’re far more likely to be devoted to some skin-care ritual though they DO become vitamin-addicts IF there is an anti-aging or sex angle.

Overdoing Artemsia?

Holy hell, maybe I am overdoing the Artemesia Vulgaris (Mugwort aka Moxa, see my post on it here) …The psychic insights evoked by my dreams are just SO intense. I mean, useful, for sure. But one wakes up with a w.t.f smirk of bewilderment in the morning, post dreaming.

I seriously lucid-dreamed that i was flying at night over dark green bushland and into a headwind. I was totally trying to make for some lights in the distance where i felt it would be safe to land & not let the winds force me down into this forest in a storm. Even though it was stressy, i was thinking ‘wow, isn’t flying by broomstick SO simple & convenient…’

Yes, On a Broomstick. I hardly ever have lucid flying dreams but they are incredible…How common ARE they? I mean the ones where it feels like you totally are out there, flying about & you have to concentrate when you come swooping to land on a tree or something?  A few years ago, when I had Neptune on my Ascendant, I had then all the time & fantastical visions too. There is nothing so strong as a Neptune transit to hype your dreams, psychic powers and other-worldly awareness.

If you are BORN with Neptune conjoined to the Sun, Moon, personal planet or Ascendent you’ve got a headstart so far as telepathy et al is concerned. You have only to discover your personal gift and not piss it away, lol.

Anyway, my latest lucid dreaming was with just my Mugwort, Lavender & Hops dream pillow – $4 from eBay, awesome bargain here.  Okay and a pinch of mugwort in my mint tea. Anyway, dream pillows are easy to buy online – just get one with organic herbs from someone who seems to love what they are doing.

Astro-Beauty; Yoga-Yes, No, Fanatical or Loathe It…?

June 12, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 124 comments

At the risk of sounding seriously bats – a High Functioning Flake for sure – i never went to Kundalini Yoga as threatened because they’d moved buildings and the Feng Shui of the new building is fuqed. There you go.  And even though half my friends SWEAR by Yoga – the yoga peeps at my gym give me the freaks. They’re a high-bummed & tight-lipped super-clique.

I think Yoga is kinda Scorpio/Plutonic whereas Pilates, which I love, seems more Aqua-Uranian. Proper Pilates has paraphernalia so it’s prob way more intricate & fussy than Yoga which could technically be done under a lotus tree in Woop-Woop.  Or on a chic, distressed 90’s style table in fishnet stockings, a la Madonna.

I think Martial Arts are obviously of Mars & weight-lifting seems Saturnine. Aqua anything – such as swimming -  is technically Neptunian but so is meditation & just ploughing up and down doing laps is way more Saturn too. Soooo, what’s your sign & preferred mode of exercise…?  Oh and I guess if you say nothing but lugging around crates of wine & walking to the patisserie then that would be Jolly Jupiter, our patron saint of righteous indulgence.

Neptune is stationing Retrograde, sending nebulous goo-goo psychic rays all over the place. Super energy for divination, psychic work & magical synchronicity…a soul atmosphere pervades many a relationship as this is officially an astro-signature of soulmates. But it’s also unrequited love, potential delusion and a shocker of a time to get drunk or do Neptunian substances. Peeps are highly sensitive. Better to meditate et al. Amazing for dreaming, music & art…Neptune is also empowered by being so close to Jupiter & Chiron.  This is ultra-deluxe astro-weirding guys – engage intuitive powers at full strength & beware Lower Neptunian types. They’ll be way more off-planet than even their usual shifty little grifting strange selves. Keep a grip. Do haute Neptune…

“Neptune presides over the oceanic realms of dreams, imagination, vision and myth, inspiring in us the poetry, art and music that bring conscious kinship alive in our community. The Zulu word for sleep is butongo which means ‘the state of being one with the star gods’. When we sleep, we restore our memory of kinship with higher forces.

But when we enter the illusory waking world, we forget. One way to carry the memory of kinship into the waking world is through the arts. The earliest word for dream (from the Old English word drieman) also meant to make music, which invites the notion that making music is a way of dreaming the world into being. Neptune is the part of us that sleeps, dreams, creates myths, then makes music and art to bring those myths alive.”

Nearly everything squares Neptune over this weekend and in fact, the next few weeks. Dreams ARE IMPORTANT. How hard can it be to get one simple little exercise book & just jot down a few vital deets of any dream you remember?  Jung called them the royal road to the subconscious. I am consistently convinced that so much psycho-cultural clutter (all those ADS in self-help & alt health mags, for instance) can be eliminated by simple observance of one’s dream messages…It’s cheap. It’s FREE.  And dreams are particularly potent all this weekend a la the Full Moon and Neptunian activation.

Please feel free to rave re dreams in the Comments. I put my Mugwort dream in the comments of that post.

Have a divine weekend and happy Full Moon in Scorp!

42In The Car – Roy Lichtenstein

A weird consequence of the current astro-weirding is that the truth outs. This always makes me think of the Aldous Huxley quote: “Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make ye mad.”  I think he was joking.  The truth-realisation vibe has to do with all the Aquarian influence enforcing a certain objectivity & thus illuminating the aforesaid truth without all our usual sentiment & blocks being in the way.  And the truth vibe comes through in sudden eureka flashes, vis-a-vis a random connection from something unrelated said by someone irrelevant to the issue, dreams & Freudian slippage. It’s truth re you or truth re someone else. The fact of the matter.

I got two infuriating truth-flashes in a row whilst doing weights at the gym, trying not to look at the news on the plasmas nor listen to this loud, ex-army, Aquarian lady bellowing about how much she hates people who wear iPods at the gym because it means she can’t ‘connect’ with them.

Truth-Flash 1: I still love the stupid Uranian. This despite the fact that any version of even vaguely sane/civilised liasion impossible due to Neptunian substances. Truth-Flash 2: That the Leo-Rising-Aquarian-Rugger-Stud i am dating is married.  As in right this minute. And thus an artiste de bullshit. I don’t know for sure but you know when you think something and it seems awfully apt? This is a man who at first gave me entirely bogus birth data so i’m charging around giving him credit for this enormously sensitive Grand Water Trine that did not actually exist as he was born somewhat earlier. I have Venus in Pisces sextile Jupiter, opposite Uranus and in exact trine to Neptune so have a horrendous capacity to give hot men the benefit of the doubt…

I have my own theories on this which I should save for when the Moon is not Void in Leo (watch dumb decisions based on Ego or misplaced artistic ‘flair’) but does anyone think there is one sign/rising sign/whatever more prone to being a cynical Player than others???  Go on – have a crack. It could be a good distraction from hideocrity and I am not being sexist; you can bitch it up re either gender.
