Cancerian Cosmetica

March 22, 2010 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 18 comments

No it’s not just because this image references Cancerian Cyndi Lauper from her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun days: Cancerian chicks really do like kooky make-up and to be truly artistic with their cosmetic choices. Rainbow eye shadowing and getting inspired by new season colour stories are totally them. Ditto the cutesie food colouring in le hair look. You’d think Aquarius but no-no-no. Aqua likes subtle and in fact, v.few Aqua girls actually look zany on the outside. You only pick up on her outer-planetary origins once she is mid-way through an anecdote about her polyphasic sleep cycling.

High Tech Luxury Polyphasic Sleep Cycling

Maybe it’s my Moon Progressed into Gemini OR the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction trining my natal Moon in Libra – always an excuse for being bats – but I am increasingly intrigued by the Polyphasic Sleep Cycling. I mean, so far Aqua-Girl still seems sane. Serene even. It may be all the make-up.

But so as not to turn into something scary a la the above picture I think i need a High Tech Cosmovoide Luxury Bed. It would be an investment.  It’s practical and would aid productivity. It starts at $61,000 USD. For a BED. It’s not the kind of thing the company would just Fed-Ex out to a blogger to test and post about.

THEY SAY:

“…the Cosmovoïde Bed, where you can hover on the brink of falling into a deep healing sleep, before awakening relaxed and refreshed, with optimal physical and psychic potential. This high-tech luxury
bed is characterized by its individual springs suspended from the structure by self-suspension, the same principle as used for hammocks. This absolute design touts the elements of a luxurious four-poster
bed. The side view, which mimics the shape of an egg derived from golden number geometry, gives the
bed its relaxing properties. The user will find the wave shape and the symbolism of an egg, reminiscent of the “cosmic egg,” from which its name ‘Cosmovoïde’ is drawn. Made by craftsmen in the North of France, the high-tech Cosmovoïde
bed features 2 electric relaxation
bed frames, 7 LED lamps in the colors of the rainbow, a television integrated at the foot of the
bed, a DVD player, high-definition home cinema set up, 6 power sockets, and a telephone…”

I think that, for that price, they could get WAY more cosmic. I mean if someone cares enough to manufacture – soz, CRAFT in the North of France – a bed that evokes Sacred Geometry, the Cosmic Egg and the Golden Mean etc etc then surely we can do a little better than “led lamps in the colours of the rainbow”?  I would expect built in Lucid Dreaming Goggles as a very basic feature here. Is some aromatherapy diffusion too much to ask? Surely.

If $$$ were no object would you purchase the High Tech Cosmovoide Luxury Bed???

Astro-Beauty: Raw Food & Polyphasics

Despite the Eclipse, my friend Aqua-Girl is loving her Polyphasic Sleep Cycling.  Appropriately, for a Full Moon in Capricorn, she says sleeping just a few hours a day has made her way more productive but with a few unexpected side effects.

(1) She only likes Raw Food now. (2) She has become obsessed with make-up in a way that she has never experienced in her life before. In one week of raw foods and polyphasic sleep cycling, she is like a devotee of extreme cosmetics, avidly seeking the advice of cosmetics professionals & trying on complicated but genius LOOKS.

Re the Raw Food thing – whenever i try it, i HATE it as I have genetics (German) that predispose me to potatoes & bread but i LOOK amazing on it. It’s unreal and a scene unto itself. Just like polyphasic sleep cycling.I got a raw food cookbook once that enslaved me with its evolutionary zeal and claims until i realised that to make half the stuff in there, i needed some sort of $1000 magic zilcher thing.

Raw Food does seem very Aqua & though it has been around since the 1930s – at least – when a Taurean nutritionist named Gaylord Hauser had Hollywood stars in thrall to  his eating, exercise & skincare regimes. Okay, so my theory is that Aquarius/11th House/Uranian types are way more likely to experiment with their food & sleep cycles. My Aquarius father was constantly tinkering with time and nutritional concepts.

Next to Aquarius would be Scorpio? Scorps are big into the macrobiotic, Tantric and kundalini end of things, which they then compensate with the occasional Neptunian binge-up of low-Qi toxins. And then, I think, Virgo. They’re not so bats or free-form as Aquarius or Aqua Types though. Virgo will pick one dictate – one nutritional school and follow it for a bit. Whereas Aqua alters the thing according to whim. Scorp wins for sheer bravery – nobody out-does Scorp at purgings, detoxings & committment.

Gemini + Sagg will eat weird & ethnic food but A.D.D. doesn’t allow for strange regimes. Aries thinks they’re inane. Taureans, Leo & Cancerians are too gourmet to give anything up. Librans & Pisceans will go on a regime for the sake of love or beauty but their heart is  not really in it & they’re far more likely to be devoted to some skin-care ritual though they DO become vitamin-addicts IF there is an anti-aging or sex angle.

Weekend Mash-Up, Uranus Retro & Aqua Girl

How was your weekend?!  Mine was excellent though to back to back socialising did in my Sunday & I totally Zen-Slothed.

In my Sunday evening trackies & with my daughter in the suddenly torrential rain, we schlepped past an impromptu Michael Jackson Tribute Street Party – was gorgeous. About 50 people all dancing to really well-mixed MJ. And they were good dancers.  What interested me most is that there were teens through to 60-ish year olds, people who were clearly professional dancers & others who were just picking up on the moves they did at their school formal once upon a time. And the kids krumped.

Uranus is in utter sl0-mo, practically at a standstill, getting set to turn Retro on Weds, just as Venus squares everything in sight. I know I said this last week but – again – it is not a good time to try and control other peeps. Especially Aquarians & Pisceans, also Taurus & Libra…They’re individuating to the max.

It IS a brilliant time to be your own unique yourself, live & let be. Vary your routine. Ditch the obligatory shit – where you can – whilst also honouring the Eclipse-Season Get Real vibe.  The Eclipse (15 Capricorn) is in my 12th  house so my practical resolution is to meditate properly. But remember that the Uranian vibe adds a zany zing to the atmosphere & that not everyone channels Uranian Qi as well as – say -  you or I might.

Don’t bait the crazies. Stay serene & nourish thy nervous system.

My friend Aqua-Girl – who is probably the ultimate Aquarian female in many ways – has announced she is going into “poly-phasic sleep cycling” in the next month. Hence her social availability will be limited and she is totally off coffee and sugar. “A lot of big people do it,” she said breezily. “Richard Branson, Buckminster Fuller…”  I can’t remember the other names.

What it is: you sleep for only two hours a day so that you have 22 hours a day of total productivity. How you do it; You train yourself to sleep – zapping straight into REM – for 20 minutes every two hours. She may or may not use her lucid dreaming goggles during this time. Aqua-Girl sends men crazy. I see it all the time. She has waist length blue black hair and has that sort of archetypal delicate Asian lotus flower look.

But she is a multiple conjunct Aquarian and completely bats. She does nude hiking and surfing, djs, goes straight from a ten day Silence Retreat to clubbing, is an excellent mother to her two daughters & is currently dating a much younger nanophysicist whom she made go to relationship counselling two weeks after they met. Just to tweak a few things.

I think i would go ravingly nuts if I tried polyphasis sleep cycling. I did it by default when my children were babies and it did  not seem to produce the sharpened mind and sudden ability to become an awesomely productive mogul & guru.
