This is Frederica of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who was born this day in 1778 and later became the Queen of Hanover…What I love is how truly Piscean she looks…Manipulative behind a demure smile & projected air of being guile-free. You think?

HAUTE PISCES IS…
AMAZING Pisceans pull off the miraculous every day. Whether it be something spectacular, turning water into wine like Jesus Christ whom scholars think was more likely to be Pisces (that is, born in March) than a Capricorn (who would have become chief carpenter to Pontius Pilate rather than have himself crucified), turning around their own life or brightening that of another, their presence can be a constant reminder that miracles are all around us. French tightrope walker Charles Blondin was the first (and last) person to successfully cross Niagara falls on stilts.
ALLURING Their charm is supernatural. They tune into the subtle needs of people around them, providing whatever is required at that moment. They effortlessly project sensual innocence, a trait capable of making certain types fall instantly in love with them. In others, Pisces induces a besotted state by bringing out their bawdy hedonism or deep understanding.
COSMIC Pisceans don’t believe in the universe. They believe in a “multiverse.” Pisceans aren’t futuristic like Aquarius. They are past, present, and future concurrently. Pisceans are said to be big on forgiveness and this gentle aura can confuse the more predatory people around them. They think Pisces looks like a walkover. Pisces smiles and says “I forgive you,” and they do! What the predator doesn’t get is that the cosmos doesn’t forgive. Pisces knows how to “register” the insult at a higher level and walk away.
COMPASSIONATE Piscean kindness is legendary. They can be utterly saint-like in their gracious taking in of the lost or lovelorn. Expecting no thanks, they give, give and give again without weirdo motives. It’s like they think it’s their duty. Maybe it is?
EMPATHETIC Unlike Virgos who can’t resist a quick little “told you so”, Pisceans do not sit in judgement. Other signs pretend to listen with lots of little coos but butt in with a “something like that happened to me once!” Pisceans get it. Their eerie sympathy shines out in the Fishy aura with the result that people start telling them stuff even when the poor Pisces is a child. The Fish kid is the one picked out by the tipsy adult to hear all about the failed marriage, desire for liposuction, fear of mortality…whatever. And the desire to confess to Pisceans never stops. Fish folk grow up thinking this is normal. Naturally, it can be a blight on Pisces’ life. When it’s all too much they need to channel cousin Capricorn and learn how to snarl “it’s not convenient”.
A MAGICAL-REALIST Even as children, so many Pisceans believe they have been here before. While other kids are busy acting out the latest juvenile pop-culture thing, Pisces is doodling hieroglyphics or interpreting their dreams. They see the enchantment in everyday life, scrying the white noise in between-channel moments of the television for cosmic clues, divining oracles in birds or graffiti, or seeing the beauty of the flowering weed pushing up through the footpath. Whether they consciously know it or not, they are aligned with the occult (aka unseen powers) of the worlds around us.
LOW PISCES
“F**k them. Remember, this is the shortest prayer in the world. F**k them.
Gary Oldman
IMPOSSIBLE One moment Pisces is playing worldly wise citizen of the world. The next, they’ve tuned into their always-close-to-the-surface inner teen and are consulting the I-Ching for insight into some hopeless crush they’ve managed to develop, or seeing how their kissing style feels on the inside of their arm. Or, if forced out of their bedroom and into attending a social function, muttering angrily into their mobile. Pisceans are perfectly happy to sit there chain-smoking and sculling gin while bitching about the evils of white flour. Their seedy state the following morning is quite clearly due to a food sensitivity, you understand. Probably from something you cooked them. If a Pisces manages to vaguely eschew their preferred lifestyle of feckless hedonism for five minutes, they’re enormously self-congratulatory. A Pisces who conducts a civilised relationship for three weeks, buys new clothes without a hyperventilating anxiety attack in the middle of the store, or speaks to an authority figure without dissolving into hysterical giggles is a Pisces on the verge of organising a lecture tour to share the secrets of their success.
SNEAKY Pisceans go online and offline but nobody ever notices. If your energy doesn’t vibe with theirs, they are offline but the hype and gush continues unabated. Then, if believing it, you call to ask the Pisces to a dinner party or something, they accuse you of stalking them. Their need to be all things to all people can turn ugly. Even mega-pagan Pisces still wants the priest to be impressed at the Piscean’s innate holiness. Trying to pin them down on some moral issue is almost impossible. Pisces simply figures on which character they are supposed to be playing and goes within to find their motivation. For people who ostensibly believe so much in beauty and truth, they are horrifyingly good liars, embellishing everything to suit their agenda. But the agenda slides around and only Pisces has any hope of keeping track of it.
SLEAZY Yes, the Pisces is non-judgmental. But that’s partly because they elicit so much more juicier info that way. Beneath that Fishy “I’m okay, you’re okay” smirk is a Rolodex brain rifling through all the possible connections and ramifications, flipping out with glee. They adore interfering in other people’s lives. Should Pisces decide your lover is beneath you, Pisces will helpfully – in their mind – start looking for your true soul mate as well as doing their best to undermine the apparently inferior scenario. Pisceans believe in freedom of choice and that nobody should ever, ever interfere in another’s right to live their life how they choose. Unless it’s the Fish who’s doing the interfering. That’s okay, of course, because Pisces is such a blissed-out cosmic child of the “multiverse”. The Pisces “do what thou wilt” theories evaporate the second it doesn’t suit them – that is if it’s you doing what thou wilt.
UNREALISTIC This lot can be so not into reality that they wind up as utter cadgers, sponging off the “straights” they expect to look after them while honouring the Piscean genius. For Pisces to be able to create, they need a clean and serene environment. Someone – not the Pisces, obviously – needs to rise at dawn to perform space-cleansing in preparation for Pisces (who has been in a lengthy dream-analysis session, aka sleeping in) to be the graciously living creative person. Pisces wants a towering pile of glossy magazines to trigger the brilliance, and Pisces gets. Or else. Ditto, the jag of throwing out all the music to start again. Or, the special trip away so that Pisces doesn’t need to think about boring old bills. If anyone made a sci-fi film about a Pisces, it would be called The Procrastinator and feature a time-travelling droid with red eyes gliding around telling people its spaced-out excuses for not completing…anything. Pisceans believe in everything in moderation, including – obviously – moderation itself.
Nancy Cunard, Jazz Age heiress, poet & activist – So PISCEAN as you can see from this article – does not this description remind you of Pisces?
“…Cunard had a reputation for being especially chilly; men complained that she was a calculating lover, incapable of proper sentimentality. But when it came to the causes she embraced, her passion was boundless, as was, apparently, her acceptance of material discomfort. She would not hesitate to work eighteen hours a day setting type in semidarkness for her press, The Hours, housed in an old stable on her French farmhouse, or to trudge twenty miles in the rain to a Spanish refugee camp.
“…she was like “some invention, ghastly or not, of her own…. She didn’t fit anywhere.” That inconsistency or “passionate inconstancy,” as William Carlos Williams called it, consisted of, as one male friend described it, “baffling contradictions”–she was passionate but unromantic, loyal but unforgiving, unconventional but fastidious, emotional but unsentimental, hedonistic but anorexic…”
Nine months ago, when I did this post about the Astrology of Lady Gaga, some peeps said they had never heard of her & I said they soon would. Others claimed that she would be a short-lived phenomenon & I said she would become an institution. Now, voila. She is making fantastic use of Uranus over her Piscean Sun – this surely is individuation to the max. And Mars in Leo (which I think she has rising) is clearly fantastic for her public profile as well.
This outfit is a red latex interpretation of an Elizabethan frock. Not sure what the eye make-up is messaging but such raving chutzpah. Love to know what the Queen, a Taurus, is thinking. She has always been surrounded by strongly Leo women and Taurus Leo women can have shocking clashes, no matter how much they love one another.
The Queen Mother was Leo, Princess Anne is a Leo, Princess Margaret was a Leo and one of the Sarah Ferguson princess-daughters is a Leo – Beatrice, I think. And so when Lady Gaga rocks up to meet the Queen in red latex, I reckon the Queen is thinking “another damned Leo?”
This red “frictionator’ truck is apparently powered by an actual rocket. It is probably illegal in the parking lots of malls and the like but comes in v.handy for off-road desert truck racing and freaking out your neighbours so that they think twice before chucking a snail over the fence. It is also an Ariesmobile – yes?
Ages ago, i read in an astrology book (one of the first i ever read) that Aries men were the most masculine and Piscean women the most feminine. This is trad gender roles – yes – but it’s kind of interesting. Aries is ruled by Mars and Aries men are very singular. They’re blunt, brave, up themselves to an insane degree and fantastic leaders. A bit low on empathy, some might say. Are these male traits? Are Aries men the most macho of all? Would all Aries men secretly love a rocket powered truck like the one above? And so where does this leave Pisces men? Girls? Or hairdressers?
Anne Bonny was a rebel, a beauty and an amazingly resourceful pirate of her day. Plus she was a Piscean. Born on March 8 1700, her Dad was the married employer of a household in Ireland, her mother the maid. Anne Bonny was raised in Carolina, where she married a small time pirate but ran off with another one, the infamous Calico Jack Rackham.
There are SO many stories about this woman: Some say that her husband offered to “sell” her (a then-existent quickie divorce fee) to her pirate lover but she refused and was thus sentenced to be flogged for infidelity. But she escaped and became a notorious pirate, plunderer and raider. The only other female pirate of the era (ever?) was Mary Read, her rumoured lover. At one point, Anne Bonny was captured and sentenced to be executed but again, she mysteriously escaped & nothing was ever heard of her again.
Her astro: Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Pisces…trined by Mars in Scorpio…Jupiter in Capricorn, Lilith in Aquarius opposite Pluto in Leo, Venus/Neptune in Aries square Uranus in Cancer…
Thoughts; Did she actually storm ships with her tits out or is that just how the artists liked to depict her??? A la her unconventional lifestyle. And really, for a woman of that time, her lifestyle was about as non-trad as you can possibly get. I am thinking she had her Uranus in Cancer rising, as she also had children. Fancy combining THAT with pirating. Then.
And Mars in Scorpio is the same as would-be-teen solo round the world yachter Laura Dekker – try to stop these chicks doing anything and WEEP. Mars LOVES to be in Scorpio….Remember that Mars ruled Scorpio before Pluto was discovered.
Aussie Backs Out Of 4.7million sex deal fascinated me as I have been e-mailing with Natalie Dylan. She’s really smart, nice and a Leo. That’s all I can say. But o.m.g. soooo Mercury Retrograde. But in the story the “Australian Real Estate Agent” said he had to pull out of the deal because he was banned by his WIFE. I was e-mailing the Scorpio Sex Academic about this today & we were agreeing that we WOULD love to have witnessed the conversation that led to the “banning.”
“…Oh honey, what? Oh yah, that. Well I’m only away for the week so figured we could skip one of our Pilates sessions or you could just take a friend…HONEY, calm down! Well no, yes, that IS just ONE of the reasons we sold the beach-house but baby, I want you to understand that
this is not about US, it’s…”
I mean W.T.F.??? And yes, he backed out during Retro-Mercury.
And then there is Susan Boyle – what IS this? Some sort of sped-up celebrity in a petri dish scenario? The Ariean became a celebrity in mid-April as retro-Venus wove her magical wiles and then she LOSES the comp during Mercury Retrograde – could there be a controversial recount? And then at the end of May she’s in re-hab? At this rate there will be a triumphant comeback, autobiography, sex tape leaked online and first ’starter’ marriage to a much younger hunk all by JULY. I’m for real – she is a GOER.
AND: Cute Quotes From Ultra-Piscean Sharon Stone in Tatler mag;
Phobia: I have a fear of having fears.
Mentor: I’m blessed to understand that life is its own teacher.
Allergies: I have a bad reaction to mushrooms and people who cling.
“If beauty is in the eye of the beholder than brains are in the eye of the beheld.”
The Priestess is a symbol of initiation into mysteries, the gaining of wisom and the maturity to let in her ancient wisdom.
So ideally we get three Saturn Returns in this life/this earth or like, the world’s officially longest-lived woman – a Piscean - four; Jeanne Calment loved chocolate, olive oil & cigarettes + took up fencing at age 95 & recorded a c.d. named Time’s Mistress. Saturn-Saturn-Saturn & Saturn again, her 4th Saturn Return at age 119 maybe felt a bit Grim Reapery.
But how COOL. Note also that invigorating Uranus Return at age 84. But Saturn Return – along with Mercury Retrograde – is probably THE best known of astro-passages to the non-cosmic public. AND it’s incredible how the first Saturn Return – in particular – resonates with peeps. It is such a significant transit. I personally love and prefer anything Uranian – even Pluto/Neptunian, within reason – to a Saturn Transit but there is NO denying that they get results; measurable in the real world.
Saturn Return – the first one – is simply when Saturn gets to the same place that it was when you were born. It happens for the first time at about the age of 28/29 for everyone. As in Saturn takes that long to go around the Zodiac cycle. Obviously it is always somewhere doing something in the meantime (hence my Can-We-Take-Saturn-Out? initiative to Obama) but Saturn Return is the big one. You can possibly get by ignoring Saturn shit until the Saturn Return – you really can. But Saturn Return separates girls from women, boys from men & non-contenders from contenders.
Depending upon your belief system, it’s mega-karmic and fateful, the ultimate therapeutic style transit and/or simple maturing. That is, you look around and realise that you are no longer automatically one of the youngest people in any group and that the simple process of time exerts some variety of wear, tear and expectations. A lot of how it manifests depends upon where/how Saturn functions in your chart but it seems to always have the theme of GROW UP & get real.It naturally coincides with the time in life when one thinks re children (yes/no) & significant relationship (yes/no) but also it is a hell of a lot about the pressure to be seen to succeed and fit in with whatever status quo one finds oneself in.
My older friends tell me that the 2nd one (late 50s) is very much about health/mortality and deciding to be your true self…or NOT. And that the non-individuated peeps pop off the perch way faster than the others.
The first one is notorious for looking around at one’s peers/their achievements and comparing them, also to looking at your parents/their peers and what they had achieved at the same age. I have an officially wealthy uncle and Saturn Return stunned me by making me realise that a person i’d always though of as immeasurably ancient had in fact done most of it by the age i was then. It’s a time when age/status quo/time and associated shit flood in – ready or not.
Ancient astrologers called Saturn the ‘ring pass not’ – actually Saturn gets called a whole lot of names, the crux which would seem to be this: get a grip on Saturnine reality: death/taxes/that you can’t drink ten litres of wine a night sans consequence post a certain age etc, that not everyone gets to be an astronaut/supermodel and that your chosen career may require about a zillion times more crap/slog than you feel appropriate or may not even be your chosen career/parental shite & maybe a good, solid heart-breaking, health or being ripped off scenario.Your parents aren’t what you thought they were. Or maybe you suddenly get real re an actual abuse scenario. Or something happens that is absolutely unavoidable, that you cannot ignore that forces you to grow up.
That’s Saturn Return. Please – share here – if you are old enough. If not – don’t freak. But learn. Seriously, because Saturn IS serious – WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM YOUR SATURN RETURN THAT YOU DID NOT KNOW BEFOREHAND?
AND THIS IS SO SATURNINE – THAT YOU COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN BEFOREHAND. SATURN RULES THE WISDOM/INFO THAT COMES WITH TIME. NOT THE URANIAN FLASHES NOR EVEN NEPTUNIAN DREAMING NOR HARD-WON PLUTONIC SEX/DEATH KINDA INSIGHTS…JUST WORLDLY IT-TAKES-TIME-TO-FIGURE-ALL-THIS-OUT-WISDOM-OF-THE-AGES…
i could actually crap on re Saturn for ages – is surprising me but i realise it’s because Saturn IS easy to define. And in a similar way, if you are dealing with a difficult Saturn transit; face it and break it down. DO the details. Have a plan. In fact, where ever Saturn is in your chart RIGHT now – have an insanely anal plan and take it real seriously. You will be amazed at how a lot of the dread just dissipates once you do the WORK Saturn requires.
The Hermit signifies the need we sometimes have to follow our own path, with only our own inner light to guide us. Both the Priestess and the Hermit are strong archetypes/angels to draw upon in times such as Saturn Return!
“…One night, I met the great actress Joan Crawford at a cocktail party and was surprised when she suggested I follow her back to her house. When we got there, she invited me for a swim, telling me there were some trunks down by the pool and I could help myself. I did so and got in the pool.
After a few minutes, Joan, who was 25 years older than me, came out of the house with nothing on, dived gracefully off the board, swam the length of the pool underwater and came up right between my legs.
‘Hi there!’ she said in her most vivacious voice. It was a lovely, creative invitation and I responded accordingly…”
From Daily Mail article about Aquarian Robert Wagner’s new memoir Pieces Of My Heart. Have never really followed him much at ALL but from his pic on the book cover, is easy to see why so many beautiful women wanted a piece of his, er, heart at one point.
Other memorable quote: “Being with Liz Taylor was like sticking an eggbeater in your brain.” She’s mega-mega-Pisces + Venus-Uranian.
