I don’t know if this Mercury Retrograde Spiritual Mist Spray works or not but it’s a sensational idea…yes?

Mercury is next Retrograde from December 27 to Jan 16.

I think this is BRILLIANT.

It is at one of the few times of the year peeps tend not to be trying to force major things through, it will facilitate a fab re-assessment of family and friendship values and you need only ensure you make New Year resolutions BEFORE December 27.  Say what you like on the New Year’s Eve but it will be reversed or subverted.

The time between the end of 2009 and 2010 is full ON this year – it is a Full Moon Eclipse with Venus and Pluto involved. Dramatic resolutions and Chthonic Sex/Love/Emo action…Peeps are REALLY getting to grips with all that has altered since Pluto got into Capricorn in early 2008. It’s like a welcome to Pluto in Capricorn situation. Mercury is retro there, Venus is in Capricorn, Pluto – obviously – Saturn is in slo-mo getting set to square Pluto again and the Sun is in Capricorn as well opposed by a FULL MOON IN CANCER..

S0 what? It’s an Eclipse and so extra-emotional and all. Think also of 2004 – the middle of that year links poignantly into this years Xmas.

THINK: Resolutions Made Before Dec 27, All Work Finished but you open to past-life-blast style freaky synchronicity bonding. Prep also to vanquish ghosts from the past and do NOT go bigtime shopping  before the middle of Jan.

Think good but v.strong Astro-Weirding over the Xmas Hols phase.

Emo Vamps…A Pluto Theme?

This feels kind of retro to me (then again, Mercury IS Retro) but lately a lot of peeps i talk to are mentioning this book. I thought it was way old & sort of obvious but maybe it’s either (a) a new book and i am just outta touch with self-enrichment lit as I all i currently read in that vein are my Wolves book & the Qi guide.  BUT this Emo Vampire thing  is being raved about. Is it feeling super-relevant because of Pluto stationing Direct and Saturn/Uranus new era stuff??? As people consciously try to sift through various aspects of their lives a la the shitfight between Saturn & Uranus?

Years ago i  used to be a LOT more vulnerable to the variety of person described in this book. These days i am way more ruthless & tend to go on a gut vibe. I think this ability to throw up effective shields et al definitely improves after Saturn Return. It’s those Saturn Girl ’set and forget’ boundaries again.

Saturn Uranian Time-Warp Again

Here we go again with the Saturn-Uranus Opposition dudes. Do NOT forget that the Saturn-Uranus opposition tends to warp time. This will be MOST apparent with Pluto stationing Direct & Mercury Retrograde.

Saturn IS the god of time – his Greek name is Chronos – and Uranus is sort of quantum loop future quadri dimensional time-is-a-numerical-construct-ish.

So there is a battle between the Saturnine punctuality/deadlines consciousness and the Uranian timewarping.

Revise your scheduling systems or simplify where you can. Seriously be rad when it comes ruthless simplification. Expect weird flashes of nostalgia, power-rage surges. Keep it productive. Do the old Saturn Law:  8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 8 glasses of water a day. Sort your clocks or whatever it is you keep time with.

My new Eco-Ghoul light bulbs are So giving me the shits that i am seriously wondering if my Taurus Hippy Uncle was right and we SHOULD ALL BE up with the dawn and asleep by dusk.

Aphrodite/Venus/Osun/Ishtar Out Of Shadow

Other than a few little Retro-Mercury glitches, you should definitely be in fresh territory by now. Venus/Ishtar/Aphrodite/Osun is totally out of the retrograde Shadow-Zone now.  So, having maybe wallowed a bit in ancient angsty stuff and had thoughts of past loves rise unbidden to the surface of your mind,  you now glide forward with a bold pioneering vibe. I actually just did a Freudian typo; “glide force” – nice, as Venus is still in Aries the avatar. Where is that line “I love your pilgrim soul” from?  I think i have already said this but Venus is now chasing after Mars and the two form a fantastic conjunction in Venusian Taurus in June; So sensual. A lot brewing.

Apres The Scorping…

DUDES THIS IS ME!  After the Full Moon in Scorpio.  Okay, it’s not but I feel like the Scorpion-Phoenix thingie is sure inked on somewhere, only invisibly.

I think i deserve an award for so authentically manifesting that Full Moon in Scorpio…It’s always a goodie but i did this one like an astrological textbook. Scorpio energy is sex, death, the occult & areas of life that are super-powerful but usually kept hidden. It’s also endings, beginnings & the metaphysical idea of Phoenixing & that death is but a night between two days. And it’s the guts to not only survive a hideous little something, but thrive. Many a mystery.

So my Friday afternoon (eve of the Full Moon, last night before it was actually exact) starts out tres innocently. Going to see the Piscean Beauty Fanatic before meeting the Leo-Rising-Rugger-Stud for dinner…Only HE had infuriated me earlier in the week by rocking up sans notice & when i trying to analyze someone’s Uranian transits & basically putting it upon me. Not until the Full Moon in Scorp did i realise how angry i was about it. THAT is so Scorp & Pluto…When you are sitting there having a manicure or something and suddenly it’s like ’shit, that was wrong & I’m right’ kinda feeling.

Anyway, the taxi driver I got was an Aries and SO angry that I had to ask the Piscean Beauty Fanatic for Emergency Reiki. Luckily, she is very good it and she whacked in some other stuff as well. Deep witchery & re-aligning the subtle etheric bodies sort of thing. So feeling heaps better we then discuss Scorp subjects – not on purpose. We just suddenly realised that we were talking about terminations, prostitution & hymen restoration. As she’d gone to the hairdresser that day and suddenly realising that the teenage apprentice doing her hair was hitting on her for validation & guilt release over an operation she just had. Then this poor girl started asking about hymen restoration operations and/or opportunities to ‘work’. So…a very Scorpy chat from that.

As I was saying bye to the Piscean Beauty Fanatic, I start getting urgent texts from Leo-Rising-Rugger-Stud to the tune of “where are you?” and strident question marks…Each time i try to call him, he engaged calling me. So I finally get hold of him & it’s part Retro-Mercury/part him being a prick as in he hadn’t listened when i said that i would not be at my house at whatever time. Then i said well, I am going to meet the Scorpio Sex Academic as she just bk from Bali & has interesting tales to tell – come along or i can meet you in an hour. He hit the roof & sulked bigtime, so it ended.

Then I met the Scorpio Sex Academic &  i told her about the Leo-Rising-Rugger-Stud & she airily referred to it as an “uncluttering” but then said what about the Uranian – my other Aquarian? I said that I’d made a scene at the gym as he talking to some floozie that he may have (?) been seeing last year when i was seeing just him but that a bonkers blind date had sent me stampeding bk into the arms of the Uranian. It turns out that Scorpio Sex Academic KNEW of the Floozie & was able to text a Virgo Sexual Assualt Counsellor friend who knew EVERYTHING I would ever need to know AND was lovely AND she arrived in 15 minutes to brief me. How often do you get the info you need so quickly & with such heavenly synchronicity? And then of course the conversation dived real deep. The Scorpio Sex Academic had done ten days of Kundalini Yoga in a row so was (a) chanelling and (b) longing for several litres of chardonnay.

Sitting at this bar with the Full Moon shining down being briefed by my spy made me feel like Lucretia Borgia – it was excellent but the whole thing felt super crisp, clear & lucid. It was a combination of intrigue, confessional deep dialogue, dramatic endings & the metaphysical end of spirituality where it’s all about qi & energy.

My question; Is this how Scorpios exist ALL the time? And did anyone else have a similar Full Moon in Scorp?  Oh and I dumped the Uranian too. And ended the evening talking to a 55 year old punk-rocker and his Goth son. My phone broke so could not text the U – which is a lovely little blessing from Merc Retro…

UPDATE: AND – i forgot to mention another Scorp theme of that night – the eve of the Full Moon – We ran into an Aries Hypnotherapist acquaintance of mine who was about to meet her RSVP date for the night, a Gemini psychologist. So this poor guy arrives to find his blind date totally crashed by a bunch of women in deep convo mode.

The Astrology Of Affairs With Married Men

May 8, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 99 comments

v10-married-men

Yes, I know that some of you guys are men and not even gay! In which case you’re more than welcome to substitute the word ‘women’ for men.  If you’re a gay girl – think ‘wives’ – whatever. I am just interested in the astro of when peeps get involved as the third-bit of a triangle and all. No morality, no angst, no names – astro-anecdotally only — WHICH MARRIED SIGN IS THE MOST LIKELY TO FOOL AROUND?

Not deeply fall in love.  Not your Twin Souls entangled with others when  you meet hoo-hah. I am talking about Players.

The astro-lore has it that tricky aspects to the Moon signify players but a lot of this stuff was written during a time of less cultural freedom. And it’s sexist. We need new data. Which sign is most likely to be the Classic Married Player?  Male or female. The retro guy or gal who can happily linger in apparent hell for decades, provided he/she gets the occasional excursion.  It’s not Aries, Kataka, Scorpio nor Aquarius or even Pisces…though the latter is doubtful. Taurus is the most likely to use a professional but be stringent in enforcing the mate’s boundaries.

Yes? No? This is purely objective and save tales of YOUR tawdry sluttage & infidelity for later. This is TOTALLY about which sign is the most likely to be (apparently) attached to an entity whom does  not understand (ever) him/her and seek comfort outside of this bond without ever actually breaking it.

I’m going for Gemini. When I was a teenage cocktail waitress, a young Gemini sales rep took me home “for a drink” and insisted  that the toys around the place – bikes, dolls etc scattered everywhere – were something he collected, being arty & all. And that the photos of him with a bride on the mantlepeice were of him and his SISTER as he was SO close to her and she DIED so he kept the pics. I left suddenly when the wife + her parents & the kids got home several hours earlier than expected. He told me that they were the mafia and that i had to leave immediately through the window. He then stalked me. What was weird is that it took me ages to figure out what had happened, as i was So naive.

Players? Married players? This is a very apt topic for the Full Moon in Scorpio with Mercury Retro…

Yah is like LOL Star Wars now but really, it works for the combo of Retrograde Mercury with a looming Full Moon in Scorpio, does it not? Watch that you don’t find yourself getting ultra-intense & obsessive re something actually quite absurd.

I Want A Pavo

8718peacock_wrk1

Am fending off two urges that are very much of the Full Moon in Scorp/Retro-Mercury ilk. Urge One; To contact The Uranian & lecture-rant or send a snippy text. This is not good timing wise nor sense-wise. Everyone knows that men – especially Aqua men – respond best to No Contact. ie; one being off-planet or even actively disdainful.

Urge Two is even worse. I have been googling peacocks as pets. Apparently i could buy a young peacock for just $75 + delivery and some vet costs etc. But their loud mating cry is said to be a deterrent for urban areas. Honestly i doubt that my peacock’s loud mating cry would be as loud as that of the stoned yobs who conduct their mating ritual on the street outside my house.

Peacocks are amazing. It’s crap that their feathers bring bad luck though i would only have a feather in my house if i FOUND it. Of any bird. The peacock is like a Phoenix in its mythology. Bird of Hera/Juno, the Queen of Heaven and also associated with Isis + the Buddhist star goddess Tara. “The pride of the peacock is the glory of God,” wrote William Blake.  The peacock used to symbolise luxury, beauty and immortality. It was a puritan idea to twist that into pride & arrogance.

Far from being up itself, the peacock is actually endearingly modest & eccentric. It’s Latin name is “pavo” from the Sanskrit “pavana” which means purity. Peacocks hate gold – it’s like garlic is to vampires – and they are terribly restless right before it rains. Probably because of what it would do to those glorious feathers. They have an ability to consume poison and be completely unaffected by it. In fact, they prefer it. Their favourite food – I read – is Himalayan Wolfsbane and they are said to hate their legs as they are not nearly so beautiful as the rest of them. Some peacocks peck at their own legs in disgust.

O.m.g I STILL want a pet Peacock and I STILL want to call the stupid U. Am going to do obsessive Scorpionic style cleaning jag to stir Qi…

Mercurial Bats Again

hermesSalvador Dali- Hermes

Mercury, Hermes, Thoth…The quicksilvery Messenger Of The Gods is in Gemini but for a fleet visit as on May 7,  Mercury goes Retro and retreats back into Taurus.  So what goes on in the next 14 days may then seem to die down but it flares up again mid-June, when Mercury gets back into Gemini again.

See house/sector he in or Nightly Scopes for info re how this most likely to affect you. 22 Taurus to 1 Gemini & for reasons to long-winded to lecture-rant about here: the Retrograde starts on May 7 but I am timing it from NOW.

Watch contract signing, big purchases and how you handle sensitive information. I need to SO watch the latter, as tend to forward hilarious yet spiteful “commentary” to the person they were about rather than to the person i thought would most appreciate my bitcherel.

And – I took down my Twitter link. I LOVE Twitter but i find it takes too much time away from doing what i want to do which is build up the info on this site & make it really amazing with heaps to offer. Also am not sure my tweetings of such things as “got back from gym, had smoothie, swore at cat” etc are really that, um, lucid. Even if I can get them into 140 characters…
