Awesome Scorpio – Astronaut Personals

February 24, 2010 in Astro-Fiends by Mystic Medusa | 15 comments

This  is astronaut Steve Robinson, playing guitar in the new space station. I love this guy! He’s also an artist and he plays in an all-astronaut band.

His c.v. is well, um, impressive + he appears to be single. Peeps who like your space, this could be JUST your guy. He’s away a lot and is not, obviously, the kind of guy to ring up grizzling.

But what about his astrology, I assume you are thinking.

The space-gent is a Scorpio and he has Venus conjunct Saturn in Scorpio.

So, fear not, he likes his space too! He would take intimacy very seriously. When not in space. What else?

Jupiter-Pluto in Leo so he is like a touchstone for his generation of baby-boomers: Space exploration & rock and roll…Uranus in Leo square his Sun – individuated the max and showy about it too.

He’s also got the North Node in Sagittarius. The North Node is the Destiny you need to manifest…Let’s just simplify Saggo right down to travel, fresh horizons and new vistas, a world without borders & voila…

Beryl Markham’s Birthday!

“Beryl Markham was one of the most extraordinary of explorers. But she was also an emotionally deprived child and, as an adult, a serious outlaw of love. She died in 1986 at the age of 83; that year was the fiftieth anniversary of her historic solo flight across the Atlantic…Imperious, ravishingly beautiful and fluorescent with life, she charmed her way from one continent to another. Though men baulked at her flagrant promiscuity, it didn’t stop them being drawn to her. Her lovers included some of the most famous artists, adventurers and scoundrels of her day. But then, she herself was a scoundrel. She never let a lie stand in the way of what she desired…”

“She often rescued pilots who had crashed. Thinking they were doomed, they would see a plane land brilliantly in the bad terrain, then a willowy figure climb out, dressed like a Vogue model in the white silk blouse that was her trademark, pale trousers, a silk scarf at the neck, her hair coiffed and her fingernails carefully painted, handing them a flask of brandy and grinning.”

Diane Ackerman

She was a super-gusty hi-qi Sun in Scorpio with Venus, Mercury & North Node all in Libra, squared by Saturn & trined by Pluto in Gemini. Her Mars is early Virgo, sextiling her Sun and Neptune & squaring Lilith.  It’s hard to know sans birthtime, but that Mars of hers must surely do something else quite full-on. Her Moon’s in Leo. Though Saturn-Pluto in hardcore natal aspect is amazingly motivating & regenerative…

Oh and she has a crater on Venus named after her.

“Did you read Beryl Markham’s book, West With The Night? …She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers … it really is a bloody wonderful book.” Ernest Hemingway

Asteroid Bingle

September 24, 2009 in Astro-Fiends by Mystic Medusa | 17 comments

pandorasboxJohn William Waterhouse – Pandora

Mars is about six degrees away from a fantastique trine with Uranus, exact the week after next and one that will manifest all sorts of magical opportunities and strange synchronicity. Uranian wierding is always riddled with omens and synchronicity. Mars really revs up Uranus. A trine is considered ‘easy’.  But in the meantime, apart from that and Mercury going Direct, there really isn’t that much going on. Which is kinda nice, after all those Eclipses, Pluto Direct & Saturn-Uranus etc.

Of course, if you bung some asteroids in the mix – voila – a party.  I don’t usually work with asteroids for all manner of reasons but my idea is this: I throw some of what’s happening in asteroid-land at you & we see if they’re apt or not.

* Lilith, the Bitch-Goddess is nearly in Aquarius. Now that ought to lead to some outrageous female behaviour. Especially when she gets around to opposing Mars in Leo in November. Hot! Maybe.

* Circe is in Scorpio.  Conjunct my Midheaven, actually. It’s interesting but whenever Circe is strong in my chart, my divination (Tarot) skills intensify.

* Asteroid Lust (number 4386 if you want to play with it in the Astrodienst Extended Chart Options thingie) is on the North Node in Capricorn…Hmm. I very rarely look at this asteroid, though it DOES show up in synastry (chart comparison) between peeps who really fancy one another an awful lot. So what could Asteroid Lust conjunct the North Node mean? Lust leads you to your authentic destiny?  Lust blasts away jaded elements of  your past. Past life psych flashes via lust?

* Pandora is conjunct Jupiter. Meh. I don’t know how to interpret that so let’s free-associate. One could open up a Pandora’s Box of issues, ideas – could even be Promethean???  Isn’t there a feminist/more goddessy/less patriarchal version of the Pandora story someplace?? Like she wasn’t just nosy – she was more like Prometheus stealing fire to give to humanity? As opposed to a girl being blamed (like Eve!) for unleashing all the demons etc on humanity? So Pandora conjunct Jupiter – Jupiter amplifies whatever it’s near…Pandora cosying up to benevolent Jupiter = forgiveness/redemption for secrets?  Let’s see!

Astro-Jesus Luz

I really cannot see what the fuss is about Madonna & Jesus Luz. Men have much younger lovers all the time & nobody makes a peep, expect for when maybe the girl is exceptionally dewy/nubile and the man positively decrepit. But it’s like peeps are being both ageist AND sexist + insulting to Jesus Luz a la terms like ‘boy toy’ and all.

ANYWAY…He is a Capricorn & when he met Ms Madonna, he had Uranus crossing over his Pisces North Node…Sudden manifesting of destiny indeed. But you know what? I wouldn’t call this bloke a toy anything. He’s Moon-Pluto in Scorpio – sooo deep and comfie with psych depths too. Would get off on an emotionally intricate relationship. And he’s got Venus in Aquarius – a guy with Venus in Aquarius does not choose trad women to be in his life. Or ‘appropriate’ relationships. He just doesn’t. And there is a v.low boredom threshold when it comes to females.

Also, that Venus of his is sextile Jupiter (over the top lover) and sextile Mars-Saturn-Uranus in Sagittarius. Don’t fence him in or tell him what to do & he so would not give a shit if you did. BUT – because you’ve got Saturn there, he’s interested in creating some sort of structure in his life that allows for a lot of freedom & stimulation. I reckon he’s going gangbusters manifesting his chart and he hasn’t even had his Saturn Return yet.Venus sextile Saturn even by itself (without all the wild Uranian weirding) is happy with big age gap relationships.

Dark Moon in Gemini

It’s the Dark Moon in Gemini & so a degree of ambiguity or ennui is totally normal. Ditto naff cravings – always a worry with the waning Moon. The Moon is also trine the North Node in Aquarius just as it slides out of Aqua and into Capricorn – tres profound awareness for some; the meanings of past patterns & themes…Future trends. Be sweet to Geminis this weekend, they’re not in the mood to be court jester & with Mars in their sign moving to square Uranus, they’re ready to snap at the slightest provocation. In fact, a lot of people might be ready to go over-the-top with the uncluttering of the next few days. Amazing for dream work and don’t let anyone diss you for being in two minds…it’s astrologically apt.

Saturn-Venusian Transits & Venus-Neptune/Pisces/12th House

August 13, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 34 comments

cover_3Having Saturn transitting one’s Venus is like being stalked by a scary life coach. If your Venus is between 18 and 26 degrees of a Mutable sign, you’re having a Saturn-Venus transit. Or 18 to 26 of anything but especially the Mutable. It’s very similar if Saturn is aspecting your Ascendent  or Descendent.  Or transitting (I so nearly typed transhitting) your 5th or 7th House.

So my Venus – this is just to illustrate- is at 22 Pisces and trine Neptune in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces peeps are already prone to romanticise – having it trine Neptune is just the icing. So the other day I’m walking out of the gym and my mind meanders to the stupid Uranian & his devastating combo of black hair/blue eyes & how charming he can be when not off his face. Venus-Neptune v.quickly took me to a point where I was thinking how my Saturn his on his North Node and that maybe it is my destiny to sort his life out or something like that.

Suddenly I swear I practically heard the voice of Saturn; ‘get a fuqing grip, don’t date men who are beneath you.’  Now Venus in Pisces is about universal compassion and she certainly doesn’t think people are beneath you. But Saturn is all about setting standards and having the self-control to stick to them. Venus in Pisces never lets go of an ex. She drops them – yes- and usually for someone else but then Venus in Pisces doubles-back & re-idealizes the Ex, just for kicks. It gets Venus in Pisces peeps (Venus-Neptune is similar) a bad reputation but they don’t mean to be manipulative.

Venus in Pisces/12th House/aspecting Neptune has another core competency – apart from compassion and forgiveness; the ability to imbue anyone she considers hot with enormous spiritual qualities & a sense of fate being at play. This is apt for men with the Venus set up as well – i say she as we are talking about Venus here. Men with Venus in Pisces/12th house/aspecting Neptune are usually v.aware of the Madonna-Ho complex. They live there, lol.

So if you’ve got Saturn on your case – right now the Taskmaster is at 20 degrees of Virgo – remember that he is just doing his job & that the sooner you set up some boundaries and enforce them + work about ten times harder than would seem appropriate, the Saturnine stress dissipates & cop the rewards: Health, Wealth & Wisdom.

Henry Miller Hated Saturn’s Guts…

August 3, 2009 in Astro In Books, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

“Saturn is a living symbol of gloom, morbidity, disaster, fatality. Satun is malefic through force of inertia. Its ring, which is only paperweight in thickness, according to savants, is the wedding ring which signifies death or misfortune devoid of all significance. Saturn whatever it may be to the astronomer, is the sign of the senseless fatality to the man in the street.
“Saturn is life in suspense, not dead so much as deathless, i.e. incapable of dying. Saturn is as eternal as fear and irresolution, growing more milky, more cloudy with each compromise, each capitulation. Saturn gives us only what we ask for, never an ounce extra.
“Saturn is the stellar impostor setting itself up as the grand cosmocrator of fate, Monsier le Paris, the automatic pole-axer of a world smitten with ataraxy. Let the heavens sing its glory – this lymphatic globe of doubt and ennui will never cease to cast its milk white rays of lifeless gloom.”

Henry Miller in The Colossus Of Maroussi

Miller actually had a brilliantly placed Saturn!  He  must have been having a hell of a horrid Saturn transit at that point. He was a multiple conjunct Capricorn – Sun, Mercury, Midheaven & Venus all in Capricorn…And Saturn (the planetary ruler of Capricorn) is at 29 Virgo trining his Venus in Cap + his North Node in Taurus; Enduring success and celebrity for sure. Both literary, commercial, for his personal life & as in his philosophies portrayed via fridge magnitude…

Leo Hair Jealousy

August 3, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 17 comments

jerryhall

It’s funny but people go ON and ON about the Leonic Madonna’s determination to look ever-young & stay, you know, relevant. But what about the way-older Leo Mick Jagger??? He’s been a fitness-fiend, vitamin vampire puller of young things for yonks longer than Madonna. Does anyone really bitch it up re him??  Seriously, is it sexism? Leos can’t help it. It’s who they are. Jagger has the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto, Lilith, Mercury, North Node and Part of Fortune all together in Leo – he’s a mega-multiple conjunct Leo. I reckon he would have suffered dreadful Hair Jealousy of Jerry Hall.

Also re Leos – i think there are two broad types; one is the Bon Vivant Leo, who cares not so much for vanity or the appearance of youth but likes to Live-it-up indefinitely. So they may get fat but it will be gourmet fat. And plumpness from fine restaurant pig-outs IS actually diff from fast-food binge fat. I think maybe as the complexion stays reasonable? Then there is Vanity-Leo who will do any diet, any exercise ritual – what-ever it takes – to stay at what he/she considers their peak. The word “decline” is simply not a valid concept to them.

Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse!

Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse!  This is totally the pic I am getting on my imaginary panel van. Only I’d like to add in some unicorns & maybe a magic owl with an aura + a Magician, beckoning.

Anyway, here we go into the New…I was doing my books for tax at the time it hit, having a major admin genius revelation, as I had hoped, looked up in wonderment/gratitude and it was exact. Now to improve my punctuation.

And the Nodes of the Moon are now crossing into Capricorn & Cancer – just as they did in November of 1990…Note that around about now you could experience, if you are old enough, eerie little nostalgic pulses from that era…Here is a suitably sooky-goo-goo (for the Moon) memory-bender.

Happy (Belated) Birthday To SpongeBob

Oh I was not onto this before but SpongeBob’s birthday was on Tuesday. He was officially born, according to his founder, on July 14 1986. I don’t really know much about him – but he is a home-loving Cancerian, obviously, even if his home is a giant pineapple under the sea.

He has Moon in Virgo, Mercury Retro in Leo (is he a grandiose malapropping kinda guy?  Mis-use words pompously? Truly, does he have any Retro-Mercury in Leo indicators?) Venus in Virgo square Saturn in Sagg so he could be stingy  in love & sexually begrudging due to hell knows WHAT psychological factors and Mars Retrograde opposing his Cancerian Sun – there may be a bit of repressed rage boiling away due to – i don’t know – earning the living that satisfies his Cancerian security needs by cavorting about showing off a fairly limited aspect of himself, his vile boss & limited starfish friend.

You know…his North Node is in Aries & he’s got that retro-Mars – he ideally needs to assert himself in a more clear, direct and strategic manner.
