Cat People

This Dark Moon-Retro-Mars Business is now making many of us a tad terse….Yes?  It’s only a few more days so I am thinking that the best way through it is for us all to become Cat Peeps.

Any existential thought can be brushed aside in a bout of compulsive grooming, stretching and/or elegant musing upon our next meal. Hunting is not permitted (Mars Retrograde) but gazing at birds flying past and fantasizing about leaping ten metres in the air and stopping the stupid bird mid-squawk with one bolt of feline genius is fine. Isn’t that what cats do?

Other potential diversions:

The Bastardo motorbike from Walz Hardcore Cycles - suggested for Pluto/Uranus transitting people & all strong Mars-Aries types.

Campaigning to have Pluto restored as a proper planet. Saggos usually love a good protest but they may be too sore at Pluto after that 15 year extravaganza of Pluto in their sign. Aquarians would probably enjoy this and they may feel it will gain them some good cred for when Pluto gets into Aquarius in 2024.

Drunk Yoga…Usually the preserve of Pisces & Gemini.

Hanging out in your sofa boat, refusing to take any calls but acting sorta busy. Maybe you’ll call it a Directions Meeting. This would be an Earth Sign thing.  My theory is that, at school, Earth signs were always the ones who never got in trouble, even when they started stuff and managed to always look busy…even when they were shamelessly bunking off.

Soaking in your transparent sided-bath with the gold trimmings & needing only for the maid to periodically pop in to adjust the temperature and pour in more flagons of fragrance, fresh lavender & dead sea salts.

You ideally need to please go read Ceres-Watch 1 for this to resonate BUT essentially, I go on and off observing this asteroid-turned- planet. So, as she has been in Virgo since November 2008 and is about to cross into Libra on August 4, this is a fab chance to collect some findings.

Note that ideas of what she represents vary widely. Ceres SO often ends up just sounding like the Moon. She is obviously linked with agriculture (the word cereal comes from her name) and as she is a.k.a.Demeter there is a link to her as that mythological mother…having to share custody of her daughter with Hades himself. Yah, Pluto…the demoted planet. Hmm. Some say Ceres is about the menses cycle & others call feminism.  Others say she signifies the eco warrior aspect of the Great Goddess.  Like Gaia.

Anyway, it will be interesting to see why wimmyn notice when Ceres goes into Libra – I think a shift from Virgo to Libra usually feels quite profound when any planet does it.

Also, if you are a mother, please compare your Moon and Ceres signs here along with which one you feel would most aptly signify your mothering style…I have Ceres in Pisces & the Moon in Libra & I think i’m more Libran Moonie at mothering with occasional veer-offs into Ceres-style. In fact, I think my Ceres only pops up when i feel absolutely absorbed by parenting to the exclusion of all else.  Could that be the key to Ceres?
