Mars El Toro

7569Damien Hirst – The Golden Calf

You know what…? In July – just in time for Eclipse Season – Mars in Taurus will square Jupiter, Chiron & Neptune. And that is when you will be happy that you worked like a dogged bull (lol) in June & got everything lined up. Mars in Taurus is a worker. You plod away, pulling the plough and employing stamina along with the magical thinking. More on this in the Nightly Scopes & Daily Mystic but essentially, don’t waste your powers of truculence resisting change or in pointless disputes. Use them to never-ever-give in. But if you’re some tight-lipped stoic grimly battling on to be the last person chez neighourhood to uphold some (do admit) had-it status quo, you’ll loathe the next few months.

Whichever area/sector/house of your chart has Taurus is where you’re grounded, sensual and beautiful but also capable of being SUCH A STUBBORN SOD & heaven help anyone who messes with your ’stuff’ in that area of life.

BTW re the image above – i see the art in it and as a vegetarian since the age of 5, i see also the poignant horror. The golden horns are artistically and alchemically significant and there is a massively interesting artistic statement behind the work.

Saturn Direct In Virgo

May 15, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 12 comments

Yes, the sign of Virgo is Star-Maidenly & all – hence why I call Virgo ‘The Star Maiden’ on the Nightly Scopes. Because Virgo IS all that! And this pic of The Star from the Thoth Tarot totally embodies the super-profound and yet pragmatic nature of our Virgo.  Note the Starry/Spidery motif at the top & other deets.

But Saturn direct in Virgo can be not so good. Many a Saturn sensitive or Virgoan-intense person feels it to be more of a slump….An over-hyped awareness of details, status quo expectations and limitations.

Yet Saturn Direct feels better the moment you see it more akin to something like this…dnzuznlifl4olf3sixgvvxmao1_500

TRY IT AND SEE IF YOU DON”T FEEL A RUSH OF QI, ENERGY…SOME ELATION EVEN…COUNTER-INTUITIVE AS IT MAY FEEL, IF YOU SAY FINE, I AM CLIMBING A BIG MOUNTAIN & I’VE BEEN RESTING – NOW IT RESUMES, YOU FEEL LIGHTER, FASTER & MORE OF EASE…WEIRD. BUT SO IS SATURN & THIS WEEKEND IT’S ESPECIALLY POWERFUL – ESPECIALLY FOR CAPRICORNS, AQUARIANS, VIRGOANS…


The Sun Sign Formerly Known As Cancer

I have a few e-mails re why i altered the Sun Sign name for Cancer to Kataka in the Nightly Scopes. The e-mails are amazingly non-narky. Okay, Cancer is Latin for Crab and the Crab is ONE of the symbols for the constellation that the Sun travels through from late June to late July. ie; if you born then, you are deemed “a Cancer.” Moon-Ruled, a mood-swinger, a sexy empath, nostalgic, home-loving & a fiend in biz. But the name has come to be more linked to oncological disorders.

I got a really emo yet lovely  letter from a Cancerian girl writing from her boarding school & I was about to send her back this long-winded explanation. But then i just thought screw it & changed the name of it. For her. She said that whenever she googles her sign, it comes up with a disease and that it made her feel sad, sick and ugly etc etc.

Sooo another symbol for this sign is the Ancient Egyptian sacred scarab – symbol of immortality. In fact, i think – this is arguable – that the Scarab WAS the symbol for the sign until a myth involving Hercules & a Crab. Anyway, in the Nightly Scopes, Cancer is renamed Kataka – Sanskrit for Crab, Native American for “fort” and the name of Buddha’s horse.  It all fits and there is a boarding school dormitory in the country where it’s already official.
