Saturn Girl Strikes Again: Important Notes About Saturn

October 21, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 61 comments

You know Saturn is in “play” when one uses bullet points to convey one’s info.

* If you have not read my previous Saturn Girl post, please do.

* I am up to my bum in Saturnine stuff (Saturn is opposing my Sun and sextiling my Jupiter – go figure) so after this I am unlikely to be posting the rest of the day but Daily Scopes are posted for Weds and Thurs & of course there are the Confidentials to read, gigabytes of archives & the trusty Oracle.

* I am adding a new feature for Alpha Mystic subscribers. It will be on the Daily Scopes page. It’s a Saturn-Scheduler. I don’t think i am going to call it that indefinitely. That is just a working title. What I am going to do is flag the strongest days for business, health, seductions and/or anything majorly crappy in the month ahead. I try to do this anyway but the Scheduler will go up at the start of each month guaranteed. It’s good for when you have the chance to choose dates for meetings, appointments, dates etc. You will be able to glance at it & pick from optimal days, whilst working around le merde, ahead of times.

* And, by being or becoming any sort of a subscriber, you are aiding advertisement free astrology, thank you very much!

* Yes, Saturn is in Libra from Friday October 30. A.k.a next week. And then it goes out again in early 2010 & back in again etc. All this is detailed in Saturnalia.

* I have had complaints – yes – COMPLAINTS that my latest Scopes/ Daily Mystic etc has been TOO POSITIVE. As in that I am just saying nice stuff to make myself more popular, not telling it like it is lol. The truth is that now through until the end of October IS like a beautiful little astro-oasis and then – basically for November – we have Saturn Square Pluto. This is not “bad” as such but it is challenging. You know, like growth passage challenging. November – especially the middle of it – is not so good for taking risks. Apart from calculated growth strategies that involve you suavely restructuring your life. But it tends to involve intense – as journos say – “news days.” The last time Saturn was within coo-ee of Pluto it was Saturn Opposing Pluto in Aug/Sept 2001. It’s a major cycle and it tends to reverberate in geopolitics. This November will (a) very quickly show us just how the Pluto in Capricorn economic situation is going….Recovery? Or more merde unveiled??? And (b) Stress any unresolved situations from back in 2001/2002, particularly of a geopolitical nature. Satisfied???

* Between now and the end of October, as Saturn trundles over the last degrees of Virgo, is a great time to write out in as orderly a fashion as one can manage, all the wisdom and lessons gleaned since late 2007. The very areas bugging you now will feel FAB once Saturn is out of Virgo and Uranus is left to trounce about individuating. But as Saturn goes BACK over these degrees in 2010, do the lesson grokking bit right in the next ten days and you will LOVE next April…

* Go Saturn Girl! And remember – boundaries. Talented Telepath Saturn Girl is way too busy to be obsessive about them. So she thinks ‘set and forget’. See below, Saturn-Girl banishing a monster of self-doubt, slackness and lack of boundaries with one flick of her well kempt fist.

Full Moon Alert

Oh and I’ve had several minor chances to go berko today. Tres Full Moon. I got a snippy little pass-agg merde missive from someone VERY New Age. And I totally wanted to let rip with a fast response merde-missive back. Sort of super-sarky showing just whom can be good at toxic-saccharine dripping pass-agg if need be. But then i ran the idea through my now-installed Saturn Girl filter and realised it would be of no actual benefit except that i would kind of rendering myself tacky for the fleeting satisfaction of one stupid communique that would make it seem i gave a crap. MY POINT: Update your Saturn Girl settings so that you don’t waste energy on pointless petty drivel. Let other peeps be the ones who strumpet around with their ego showing.

Emo Vamps…A Pluto Theme?

September 9, 2009 in Uncategorized by Mystic Medusa | 81 comments

2561-1

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.

Lilith: The Bitch Is Back

Guess what??? Those primal throbbings ain’t just Pluto in slo-mo, stationing Direct. Nor Saturn revving up to oppose Uranus again. Dark Moon Lilith is conjunct the North Node in Capricorn. Let’s just say Lilith is the Bitch Goddess & that she is a Good Thing. Archaic feminine power and all that. And so we have Dark Moon Lilith conjunct (very powerful) the North Node (manifest destiny) and in the mega-pragmatic sign of Capricorn at 27 to 29 degrees of Capricorn.

So who has been vowing to be (productively) more of a bitch lately? Especially where it pertains to clearing out the crappy old residue from being too nice, sentimental and goo-goo. Like Saturn Girl, Lilith in Capricorn hasn’t much time for L.O.A. style thinking – she’s set & forget when it comes to boundaries/standards et al. But with the North Node involvement, the boundaries are more like borders between two different eras.

The Saturn-Uranus opposition links in nicely as well – Saturn in Virgo is trining Lilith & Uranus sextile. So it’s like harnessing the power of Saturn/Lilith to achieve Uranian ends, if you like. Ditto the North Node ends as being our “ideal” future. And being enough of a bitch to jettison those elements of the past that don’t work or not wanting to go back to a place you CAN’T revisit…and why would you want to???

And, btw, this is so beautiful and such a lovely omen: if you look up in the sky at night right now, you can see the nearly Full Moon very close to Jupiter, the Greater Benefic and official auspicious planet. Fab for Aquarians! Have a look and make a wish.

Asteroid Sappho

The other day, I was posting real nice things about Saturn (Saturn Girl) and i only later realised that asteroid Sappho (number 80 if you want to bung her into your chart via Astrodienst) was conjunct Saturn and still is. That so fits! I still think so many of the asteroids are just named randomly – and there are heaps of them – whereas the naming of the main planets took place over aeons of observation & witching. eg; the planet we call Venus was known as Ishtar by the Ancient Babylonians & they figured out her weird pentagram-shaped orbit way before (obviously) modern telescopes etc.

See Venus – Are You A Morning Star Or An Evening Star Venus? for more on that.

But asteroid relevancy aside, i loved that an asteroid called after one of the greatest ever poets – Sappho – was on Saturn as i tried to reinterpret the entity. I love it when Sappho shows up in charts. She was a genius, a poet and gay, though she had a daughter, Cleis, for whom she wrote a poem…“I have a fair daughter….her form is that of a golden flower…”

Most of her work was burned by rabid Christians & so only bits of it survive. There were Papal edicts instructing peeps to destroy her work – because she was gay? Because she began and managed schools to educate women? Because heaps of her poems were in frank praise of Aphrodite? The Greeks considered her on a par with Homer and she surely influenced Ovid? Anyway, in a chart, I think she signifies poetry, wit, sheer feminine genius and the will to eloquently assert your right to do as you sensually please.

My friend Kim Falconer thinks asteroid Sappho shows up as tactile, indulgent, luscious, heady & yet extraordinarily smart – Asteroid 80 is a totally fun asteroid to research AND if your Sappho is on the love interest’s Venus or Moon you SO mess with his/her mind. Just by showing up. If you don’t know much about Sappho, do go to some of these links…I like to think that book burnings do NOT work! Oh and yes, she was born on the isle of Lesbos, some time around 600 BC.

Learning To Love Saturn Again

August 25, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 54 comments

073-saturn-girl Saturn Girl

I love the basic description of Saturn Girl as “a talented telepath from the 30th Century.”

I am so totally loving Saturn, even though the planet is opposing my Venus right now. As you can read in Saturn Crashes The Uranus-Venus Club and the Saturn-Venusian Transits Bad Boys Thingie if you are having a Uranus transit to any point in your chart in the next month, Saturn is along for the smackdown. But this is a GOOD thing.

It need not be Venus of course – whatever is betweeen 20 to 26 degrees of any sign but especially the Mutable signs (Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Saggo) is being affected. In fact, more than that, it’s been caught between Saturn and Uranus. My mind is on this at the moment partly because i am doing the Saturn-Uranus-Mercury Retro mini-astro-queries but also because i have this Saturn opposing my Venus thing going on & I have decided TWO MAJOR THINGS;

Thing One; Saturn is not boring. Yes i often link the planetary influence with mortality, taxes blah de blah. But the other night, when i turfed out the Uranian, it felt fabulous. Like having an inner suave life coach – setting boundaries seemed suddenly SO simple & easy. And just because he’d turned up out sans warning, i didn’t let my Venus-Neptunian goo-goo urges take over and render the whole thing “passionate” or (worse) fated. Quite frankly it is that sort of sentiment that leads to an awful lot of women snivelling into the cracked tea-mug they’re drinking warm gin out of as they gaze out of their rusty window frame at the railway tracks. Not that the U would have taken me there, but you get my point. Channel Saturn to prize your health, wealth & wisdom. Saturn is cool. And given that the pantheon is overwhelmingly male, i am visualising Saturn as Saturn-Girl for the moment. It works for me and it might work for you too.

Thing Two; Yes, Saturn and Uranus are moving into an opposition at the moment (and it’s back next April so how you do September’s one determines 2010 a LOT) but it need not be a battle between the two. What if they get along really well & help one another? The other night with the U is not just me being an indulgent confessional blogger – it works as an example because Venus was trining Uranus and sextiling Saturn. So it was an actual Saturn-Uranus opposition test/issue. Okay so Saturn works by setting boundaries & saying this isn’t good enough and so on – Uranus was simply bored by the whole thing. I seriously felt like it was a groundhog situation. Almost like we had been scripted and were just revving up for take 57 of the same stupid scene. Not good. Uranus on its own might grok the boredom and attempt to liven things up via a dash of chaos or acting out but Saturn kicks in and says ‘kill it’ – no dramas, no worries & now pixter your teeth, bung on some antioxidant serum & go happily to a rejuvenatory sleep.

So far as boundaries go, Saturn-Girl is set and forget. No agonising. No insomnia. No Neptunian musings re karma drama.

AND: One of my fave astro books – The Gods Of Change, by Howard Sasportas - makes the point that Neptune always benefits from a little Saturn. So if you’re Venus in Pisces, Venus in 12th House or Venus aspecting Neptune (a la me) then you will love a good Saturn transit to your Venus, you truly will.
