The Moon In Taurus Bust Out

November 30, 2009 in Moons by Mystic Medusa | 73 comments

For the next few days, the Moon in Taurus is squaring practically bloody everything (Mars in Leo + the Auspicious Aqua Weirding) and opposing Venus, ruler of Taurus, in Scorpio – the sign of her “detriment.”

And Uranus is stationing Direct, just to add a mega-Bats tone to all this. Uranus Direct is like a v.strong Mercury Retrograde vibe for a week or so, but with more synchronicity and subtle omens.

The Taurus Moon conflicts mean you don’t get into a war of truculence with someone, steer v.carefully around Taureans, Leos, Aquas and Scorps + try not to get too totally stuck/angry. Stubborn, ego-maniacal and vengeful…? It’s understandable but not the best expression of this astro-weirding.

Tuning into it???

Fab energy for busting out of whatever has been constricting you and you didn’t even notice…until NOW!  Jump that fence and gallop. Sometimes the grass truly IS greener on the other side of the fence. It may even be biodynamic and taste heaps better + there is a gorgeous little creek at the bottom of the pasture.

Venusian Bats

For the next few days Venus hooks up with Weird Planetary Dudes Uranus & Neptune.

It’s totally too hard to do bourgeois loving. And boy, have you picked the wrong few days to do dinner with in-laws or dutiful shite.

Think of Uranus as more like Prometheus or Promethea and in harmony with Venusian values for a better grip on it.  Add the square to Magical Realist Neptune and well, your love life can be v.satisfyingly morphed between now and next week’s Full Moon. It may be morphed overtly (compleat with peeps tut-tutting) or simply a mental segue that is nonethless QUITE the thought-quake experience for you.

It could be something else Venusian -getting suddenly over a past romantic thing, a $$$ realisaton or a rad makeover. Dreams bring good love guidance and it’s no use trying to be conventional. Unless that’s  your form of rebellion because you’ve been an insane player all year or something.

Note also that Uranus is zapping out weirding-rays all OVER the place, a bit like Mercury Retrograde, only it’s more affecting love,  your nervous system and systems in general. Let your mind run free (excellent fantasizing vibe) but ground your body and run any planned communiques through a sanity-check or at least wait until you have sobered up before bashing the send button.

There are dating books (like, ‘don’t fart during dinner and nor should you date peeps whom bore you to hell and back as it gives you premature mortality’) and then there are books like this one WHICH I HAVE NOT READ YET and yet I wanted to…I LOVED The sound of it…

It is all about how there are Satyrs and Mermaids etc, all the – i am gathering – sub-deities of the pantheistic world…And how they relate!  LOVING the idea….The contact links on her site do NOT WORK -infuriating and i have tried them in several different browsers, because how cool would it have been to interview her about this book, brilliant idea and the link to mythology, modern life etc?  So…what…?

One cannot even SEND a vague query through to the agent as they are so nymph-like..the link does not work!  Screw it! SO INSULTING when you are trying to contact an author for interview etc and the links are not even ACTIVE!

Can anyone who has read this interesting sounding book or managed to make the “contact” works on the site work please tell me?  OR is the idea that we boring, usual peeps are  not supposed to be able to access info re nymphs etc??  SO ANNOYING.

Here We Go Again…

Remember last September, when the switching on of the Large Hadron Particle Collider triggered end-of-the-world-fears?  This is, I think, the world’s most expensive and O.T.T. scientific apparatus and experiment ever, designed to replicate conditions at the beginning of the world You can go bats researching it online but basically, it could technically create some sort of a vast black hole.

Or maybe – this is just my non-scientific theory- it will make us able to SEE the Dark or Quantum matter that makes up most of the universe & it will be mega-interesting. Anyway, last time they switched it on something went wrong, like a helium leak or something – Mercury WAS retrograde – and so now they’re going to give another go, as Saturn squares Pluto…

Wow, even better astro for rearranging particles in such a radical fashion. Seriously, there new estimated time of throwing the switch is November 16. Personally, i wouldn’t time it for then though it would be fab if it wound being a really high-end manifestion of Saturn-Pluto. ie; rather than trillions of $$$ being spent black-holing us all – that they discover incredible secrets of the multiverse.

CERN (the joint that hosts the gigantic particle collider) is such a cool & weird place that it features in Angels & Demons, the Dan Brown book/Tom Hanks movie. CERN helpfully have a section on their site all about this – they get their own joke.

Beltane Vs Halloween

Some say that it’s Halloween soon. Well, if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, it is totally NOT Halloween.  It is Beltane, – Beautiful Fire – the festival of fertility, summer & renewal.  Halloween is more like Samhain – the spooky start of colder weather, the veils between the worlds are at their thinnest and so on…You are naturally girding thyself for colder weather, dragging  out heaters etc: Pumpkins, scary ghostly themes, whatever. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere happy Samhain and many profound thoughts honouring those who have passed on into the next realm.

But Beltane is HOT.  The old Pagan festivals for Beltane involved – basically – random rooting around with a view to honouring Dionysus et al & it feels right, seasonally…less clothes, brighter weather, new beginnings sprouting all over the place. There are a few different schools of thought re when exactly Beltane is supposed to be celebrated. Some say it is the Full Moon in Taurus (or Scorpio if you are in England, America etc) which would mean November 3 this year.  Others say when the Sun is at 15 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio – May or Nov 15 this year and others say Oct 30/Nov 1.  I favour the latter because it is 8 degrees of Scorpio and thus my Midheaven which means i can claim spurious witchy-goo goo links to Beltane.

Actually, I have a party on Beltane – the Scorpio Sex Academic’s birthday. I intend to wait until the Moon has passed Pluto (this evening Sydney time) and suggest she organises a Maypole for everyone to dance around. Or, this being a southern hemisphere Beltane, a novemberpole. Something suitably phallic at any rate.  Other than that, you surely all know the Beltane rituals by now: Clean house, get flowers, plant something highly scented and impractical, get new undies, smudge/space clear, make optimistic summery vows, get drunk and have some sex. Ish.

Deities of Beltane, should you be interested: Venus, Ishtar, Freya, Priapus, Pan, Dionysus, Flora and any nature god/goddess.
