D.I.Y. Astro: You Don’t Have To Be Scorpio To Be Plutonic

This picture reminds me of my friend the Scorpio Sex Academic.  Scorps live intensely. She’s busy racing between training to be a Shaman, lecturing on sexual politics, pulling on Adult Friend Finder (semi-eligible ones too, by some weird miracle), perfecting chakra awakening Khundalini yoga poses & being quite a supportive friend.  That’s our Scorp.

But you don’t need to be an actual Sun Sign Scorpio to be Plutonic.  Pluto in close aspect (I am just going to stay with the conjunction for today – that means ‘right next to’ aka conjoined) to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars makes you into a super-Plutonic person. Even if you have NO Scorpio in your chart whatsoever, a Pluto close to one of these “inner” points makes you mega-Scorpionic.

We use the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars everyday…I mean, they’re considered ‘everyday’ archetypes. To madly sum it up, the Sun = Ego, Moon = Emotions, Mercury = Mind, Venus = Love and Mars = Energy…Please, that’s definitions dumbed way down so as not to bang on for hours.

Pluto conjunct any of these points makes you almost beyond Scorpio. Pluto intensifies whatever it touches. So if you have, say, Pluto conjunct Moon – even in Libra, like Angelina Jolie – your Moon is Plutonified. Look at her depth of intensity in relationships & mothering, for a start. Lance Armstrong is the classic Sun-Pluto example. Not only does he make a spectacular recovery from a life threatening illness, he goes gangbusters with the metamorphosis and becomes a world-class athlete.

So, do you have Pluto conjunct any of the inner planets??? Mine is conjunct Mars which is interesting. Fairly ruthless when it comes to cutting people off, i’m afraid. If you can avoid the destructive or obsessive side of Pluto, tapping into the Plutonic energy gives one enormous regenerative energy.

Remember, if Pluto is close to anything, it’s Scorped up as hell.

La Luna in La Libra

The Moon is in Libra, nearing Saturn and squaring Pluto…So it’s Libra with a Saturnine edge – scented aplomb (aplomb actually means balanced) & restraint – and Plutonic undercurrents; endings, beginnings, alchemy, clandestine lusts…Don’t let on or out until the New Moon in Sagittarius/Mars-Venus exact trine next week. Smell GORGEOUS. Manners matter. Your secret diary is a sight to behold. And hands up whose dreams are lucid AND lurid. Did I tell you that i had one the other night in which i was giving birth…to myself.

Look Smart

“JON SAVAGE: When were you born?

BJORK: November 21, 1965.

JS: On the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius.

B: My mum is heavily into these things, and apparently I’m as much Scorpio as one can be. To me, whether it means something or not – fuck that, I just love the symbolism of it. It’s pretty, like Greek and Nordic mythologies. I’m supposed to be run by Pluto. It’s like a fairy tale, it simplifies things.

JS: Is Nordic mythology similar to Greek?

B: It isn’t a copy, but it’s got the same characters. In mythology wherever you go, you’ve got the strong guy, the wise woman, the winners and the losers, the travelers and the domestic people. I always like the animals in mythology, like the ravens on Odin’s shoulders.

JS: Scorpio is all about life, death, and sex.

B: That doesn’t surprise me. My three fucking obsessions.

JS: Have you ever had your chart done?

B: My mum did it. I think she took me to all the occult creatures of Iceland, from the age of zero until I was eighteen, when I became a rebel anti-hippie. I got my fortune told and everything. I think I probably believe most of it, actually. I’ve got Pluto in a very important place, and that’s what I’m about. I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up. And kill it in the evening, which is a bit outrageous, but there you go.

JS: Hard work.

B: Heee! Well, maybe not every morning, but maybe twice a year I have to destroy everything. I’ve also got my moon in the twelfth house, in Scorpio, and my sun in Scorpio in the first house, and also Neptune. Then on my other half, my generational picture, I’ve got Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, and my midheaven is in conjunct with those two. Virgo is the sign of the nurse, so this means I was born to nurse my generation. I’m still fifty-fifty about whether this is true, but I was breast-fed on it.”

The Republic Of Plutonia

PLUTO IS STATIONING DIRECT! AND TURNING DIRECT AT THE SAME POINT IT/HE WAS AT IN FEB 2008…SO EXPECT TO GROK SOME SORT OF SUBTLE OMEN RE CHANGES THAT BEGAN THEN OR A FLASHPOINT RE SUCH…

“If you are feeling unstable, freaked out or extra nuts, Pluto is probably acting on you. If you are also feeling excited, passionate or like change is imminent and that is beautiful, then you are probably acting on it. As Steve Forrest says of Pluto in his excellent work, The Book of Pluto, we can take the high or low roads, and both are usually available. It is possible to seize new energy and new opportunities, or be reduced to bitterness and a sense of failure by refusing to embrace the moment. “The high road is always there, but will we travel it?”
“How can we live kindly and gracefully while sitting on the hormonal powder keg?” he asks. “It boils down to one fundamental theme: truthfulness beats goodness. Wholeness in oneself is a greater virtue, and a more stable one, than all the conventional expressions of saintliness rolled up into one glorious greeting card.”

Eric Francis, also quoting Steve Forrest, on Pluto transits. This is one of my all-time fave succinct Pluto rants.

HOW to tell if you are having a Pluto transit?

You will be suffused with yearning etc & a new sensation of being ‘alive’ yet also mentally tormented and stressed by coping with all the changes in your life…many astrologers liken a Pluto transit to being ‘cooked’ so that the flavours emerge.

BUT IN THE NEXT WEEK  OR SO, AS PLUTO STATIONS, EVERYONE FEELS IT – SOME MORE THAN OTHERS, RAVENS COMING HOME TO ROOST & ALL…

20080410-raven-and-woman

Great, huh?

You will basically go insane but everyone will keep telling you how great you look.

If you think you might be having a Pluto transit, keep going (!) and maybe consult an astrologer.

Or think about purchasing Plutonic- your Pluto scopes until 2024

Astro-Beauty: Is Shredding Plutonic?

July 5, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 28 comments

Cheap Monday

The first incarnation of Pluto A La Mode was monochromatic make-up &  austere chic – now of course, the shredded thing is everywhere. Is it Plutonic? A kind of homage to making-do?  A dignified acknowledgement that whilst you may be in designer clobber,  you totally get it?  And with warpaint? Like, rejecting trad make-up & going straight for a tribal marking?  And, assuming this is not an outfit for a job interview – as such, though the nipple poking through would probably work in some industries – where would one wear it?

Pluto: You Are Here…

Hands up who is in a strange new land since Pluto got cracking into Capricorn? This is never minding the G.F.C. and all. This is a handy Pluto-reckoner to help you navigate your new terrain.

If you think about the cycles & dates, they’re bound to resonate on one level or another. Especially, of course, the house Pluto is actually bingling through and any major points being aspected.

But even if you know nothing re your chart, ponder these dates and see what transformations have occurred.  Seriously, it is worth the brainiac activity for the insights.

Late Jan 2008; Pluto gets into Capricorn.

Mid June 2008:  Pluto out of Capricorn and back into Saggo.

Late November 2008: Pluto back into Capricorn.

Early April 2009; Pluto gets as far into Cap as he is going this year and Retrogrades. ie: reverses….all the way back to the point of Feb 2008 – Zero Degrees Cap. Not back to the Jan 2008 point but near enough. And will get to the same point was at during the Feb 2008 Eclipse which is echoed/triggered on August 6 by an Eclipse in Aquarius at very similar degrees.

Mid-Sept 2009; Pluto moves forward again and so do you.

Dark-New Moonie

Candleflame

As youse all know, t’is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Or even the Dark Moon. Up until the New Moon, this is your chance to do some practical alchemy – turn merde moods into useful sombre reflection. But don’t be disheartened. If you try to do too much during the Dark Moon, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or less than capable…

Disclaimer; i do a great job preaching all the Zen-Sloth stuff but i’ve currently got Mars in Taurus trining my Mars in Virgo which already has Saturn sitting on it. Yick. I feel guilty, like a horrid slacker if i stop work and get to bed before 1am at the moment. However, it IS ideal…

This New Moon is conjunct Vesta - go the Sacred Flame!  – and opposite Pluto…As is the Sun a few hours after the New Moon, thus extending out the whole shebang. As I always think of the Phoenix whenever Pluto is anywhere NEAR a New Moon & Vesta is the hearth/fire goddess/sacred flame et al, this really does have a vibe to it of having to burn up what is by now ravingly obviously not in your best interests…so as to free up Qi/energy/focus for what IS.

And Zero Degrees of Cancer/Kataka & Capricorn squares the ultra-powerful Aries Point – yet another omen of beginning anew AND it’s just the start of Eclipse Season. What’s not to like??? Cherchez Le Grip & get ready to ditch the Tolerations.

Astro-Beauty; Yoga-Yes, No, Fanatical or Loathe It…?

At the risk of sounding seriously bats – a High Functioning Flake for sure – i never went to Kundalini Yoga as threatened because they’d moved buildings and the Feng Shui of the new building is fuqed. There you go.  And even though half my friends SWEAR by Yoga – the yoga peeps at my gym give me the freaks. They’re a high-bummed & tight-lipped super-clique.

I think Yoga is kinda Scorpio/Plutonic whereas Pilates, which I love, seems more Aqua-Uranian. Proper Pilates has paraphernalia so it’s prob way more intricate & fussy than Yoga which could technically be done under a lotus tree in Woop-Woop.  Or on a chic, distressed 90’s style table in fishnet stockings, a la Madonna.

I think Martial Arts are obviously of Mars & weight-lifting seems Saturnine. Aqua anything – such as swimming -  is technically Neptunian but so is meditation & just ploughing up and down doing laps is way more Saturn too. Soooo, what’s your sign & preferred mode of exercise…?  Oh and I guess if you say nothing but lugging around crates of wine & walking to the patisserie then that would be Jolly Jupiter, our patron saint of righteous indulgence.

Retro-Pluto Recognition

April 7, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 14 comments

“It begins with the vision to recognise when a job, a lifestage, a relationship, is over-and let it go. It involves a sense of the future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving on, rather than out.”
