The Return Of Mars Options

October 26, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 36 comments

Okay so the situation this week is not so intense as the Mars junket that inspired Mars Options back in Mid-August. Do go back and read so that you can see my point.

But what we DO have is the Sun in Scorpio being squared by Mars in Leo. Sun-Mars alone is quite bolshie enough but in such primal, jungle and unforgiving signs? Tres ruthless.  Thankfully the sucky and mellow Venus-Jupiter trine + having to dirge through the dregs of Saturn in Virgo probably stops a lot of us going-for-it with  our Scorped up Sun-Mars square urges.  We can’t afford it! And Mars in Leo won’t do it without a good out fit and a spa to go and recover in after making his/her scene.

But there is still a choice…You can

(1) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Scorpio. I am talking whacked out diet, advanced astral tripping and conspiracy theorising for pleasure.

(2) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Leo. Think compulsive grooming, devising a new image, watching Out Of Africa with a box of chocolates, some gin and your monogrammed hankies to snivel into.

(3) Vibe Lower Scorp via some google-stalking, facebook cooking, obsessive tarot reading, scribbling stream of consciousness crap in your black book of shitlists/assorted bile and ordering online hoodoo remedies.

(4) Vibe Lower Leo via a quick blow-out, a snort  of hair-spray and off you strut to lecture your lowerlings on the superiority of thou,  hold forth on the crap state of the country because you are not running it and denounce religion – what would be the point unless YOU were the supreme deity. Then, when hubris has reached critical levels, text something that you only think is subtle as you’re so s-faced.

(5) Channel Venus-Jupiter and think beautiful, crystal-style thoughts of love and compassion towards even those peeps who truly annoy you. Because, after all, they are not so blessed nor nearly so clever, lucky and pretty as lovely one.

(6) Nothing because you are too busy devising better systems for living via the total Life Coach time management system that is Saturn in the last degrees of Virgo. Seriously, you keep tabs of time and output etc, crunch some numbers and VOILA: genius insights.You also know, because you are so fabulous, that Saturn is going to come BACK to these late degrees of Virgo in early 2010. So even though everything feels different and enlightened v.soon, cleave to the sense of urgency that is making you revamp systems now.

(7) Nothing as you are either an Aries in love with a Leo or a Leo in love with an Aries and you are able to take this extra heat and use it incognito.

And, as you are reading this, i am sure you have it already but if Mars in Leo is really giving you the shits (tired, perpetually pissed off, easily irritated, ready to scream etc) then do order Martian Bats.

A Slumber Quest For Those Who Sleep With Another Person

Here it is & it only works if your bedpartner is someone you know reasonably well. eg; co-habit with or whatevs.

For one night, you sleep on their side of the bed. And he/her on your side. You wear the thing the bedpartner normally wears to sleep in and they wear yours.

You have their dreams or at the very least a major insight into their subliminal meanderings. Magic. Weird. My now-Ex Ramzilla husband said i was totally bang-on with my description of his dreams. He was visibly impressed. Said I was even describing his typical dreamscape really well.

But he totally refused to discuss what his dreams had been like, only to say that they had been uncharacteristic and unusual. Would they, I ask, align with what he thought my actual subconscious was like? He wouldn’t comment. Nada. Virgo Rising, you understand. Discreet? Freaked? Or simply unwilling to extrapolate given that he wouldn’t don MY sleepwear to enter the realms of Morpheus?

And o.m.g who is kind of impressed but flipped out by the bed? I think it would give me even stranger dreams than i already have. Be cool if you could attract real birds into it though. Or would it be?

And here whizzes the Moon into Saggo…!  It’s so rad! And Venus is trining the ruler of Saggo, Jupiter. They are going to be insufferable. But if you need to seduce one – or get him/her onside for a scheme, even – go find one. They are the Yes-People du jour. Plus the Moon in Saggo is trined by Mars. It’s a big Fire-signed few days of hotness, daring and radical candour.

Though i’d beware of telling Leos they look ‘tired’ because they’ll think you mean ‘gaunt’ or ‘well’ because they will interpet it as ‘fat’. Don’t tell Leos a THING so long as Mars is in their sign. Just nod in awe-struck admiration and give them all your money without them having to actually ask for it. Sagg Moon is also restless, outdoorsy & prone to mouthing off a bit. Okay, a lot. Schedule in physical activity/outdoor something or prep to go noisily bats.

When Saturn Is In Libra, Even Your Cat Will Be Haute-Fash

When Saturn is in Libra (exalted and all, see previous Saturn in Libra raves) even your Cat will be Haute-fashionable…It should surely signal a new design aesthetic, no?  Cat-Wear by United Bamboo.  These felines look a bit like they’re bombed out on Catnip & eagerly anticipating the moment they can wriggle out of their outfits and hook into some sardines.

Dark Moon Meanderings

I always seem drawn back to my Wolves book in the Dark of the Moon…

“Forgiveness is an act of creation…How does one know if she has forgiven? You tend to feel sorrow over the circumstances instead of rage, you tend to feel sorry for the person rather than angry with him. You tend to have nothing left to remember to say about it all. You understand the suffering that drove the offense to begin with. You prefer to remain outside the milieu. You are not waiting for anything. You are not wanting anything. There is no lariat snare around your ankle stretching from way back there to here. You are free to go. It may not have turned out to be a ‘happily ever after’, but most certainly there is now a fresh ‘Once upon a time’ waiting for you from this day forward.”

Uranian Love Weirding Part 10, 001

It’s not just the Dark Moon. There is a certain tone I’m picking up on in the comments, love weirding & restlessness. It’s the Dark Moon excabarated by Saturn inching (centimetering?) along in the last degrees of Virgo. But think about this: Uranus in Pisces has been kept in check by Saturn in Virgo since late 2008.  Now, from October 30, Uranus is going to be off the leash. Yes.

Yes-yes-YES, Saturn goes on to square Pluto (Saturn is always doing something, as you know) & that is a whole other saga but so far as Uranian nights and days goes – this means fun, fast individuation, fast-forming relationships, fast-imploding relationships and sudden developments. All of the Saturn in Virgo lessons you have so painstakingly learned over the last year or whatever now come into play.  Five months (from October 30 till early April) of Uranus at play

Ideally? All that Saturn in Virgo slog has led to you being more secure, organised, together, self-reliant and now actually able to have the Uranian love affair/existence/career gig of your dreams. Of course, if you don’t get with the Saturn vibe of the last year or so, it comes back to reality-check you next April.

If you’ve got Ascendent, Venus, Mars, Sun, Moon – anything really, in late Pisces, Virgo, Saggo or Gemini – prep for Uranian Love Weirding and/or cool Uranian peeps to enter your life with the express purpose of disrupting and enhancing it.

Living Well…

“Living well and beautifully and justly are all one thing.”

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…

La Luna In Leo…

The Moon is now in Leo so we can maybe do this Dark Moon thing in a little more suave fashion…Leos are sometimes said to be bad at copping criticism but the ones I know (along with our Gemini) deflect it brilliantly. They compute whether it is relevant/constructive or not and if it’s just neg-whining, they alchemically transform it into something tres flattering and get back to their beauty sleep/honouring their genius/something compassionate and/or arty.  I confidently anticipate all of us will be more even, now that the Moon has passed Mars and is into Leo…And note also that some  peeps will be going batso at the end of the Mars-Kataka tour of duty. Pass-agg, agg-agg and just a bit sarky. But not us as we channel the powerful Qi of Haute Leo.

And…Crabby Ennui

Eric Traore WAITING FOR THE MOON (AND MARS!) TO BE IN LEO ALREADY!!!!!

Okay so i AM back & have about a billion things i want to blog about BUT due to that STRANGE night last night, utterly stricken with ennui – two hours sleep max, I reckon. Ridiculous.  Interesting that heaps of you are reporting similar scenarios. The Moon WAS conjunct Mars and I think Mars has had a gutsful of being in Cancer, I really do.

I am going to go to  sleep now & hopefully emerge in a blur of brilliance later. But subscribers – try to grok what i said in the Daily Mystic this morning re Venus this week! IT really is a shockwave of Venusian activity & tomorrow is Mars + Venus both aspecting Saturn so seriously sophisticated and worldly love/sex realisations.  On the sober, Saturn Girl end of things but definitely worth honouring.

Dark Moon near Mars is now VOID – bloody hell.  I am going to follow my own advice and ‘down tools’ till it’s non-Void and into Leo…

Oh and i read a funny line today that makes me think  of Mercury in Aries or anything in Sagg; “Everyone is entitled to my opinion.”

Moon into Leo aka When The Spaz Lifts:

L.A – 23.03 Sunday Night

New York -  2.03 Monday Morning

London – 7.03 Monday Morning

Sydney – 16.03 Monday Arvo

Oh and I’ve had several minor chances to go berko today. Tres Full Moon. I got a snippy little pass-agg merde missive from someone VERY New Age. And I totally wanted to let rip with a fast response merde-missive back. Sort of super-sarky showing just whom can be good at toxic-saccharine dripping pass-agg if need be. But then i ran the idea through my now-installed Saturn Girl filter and realised it would be of no actual benefit except that i would kind of rendering myself tacky for the fleeting satisfaction of one stupid communique that would make it seem i gave a crap. MY POINT: Update your Saturn Girl settings so that you don’t waste energy on pointless petty drivel. Let other peeps be the ones who strumpet around with their ego showing.
