Astro-Query: What Would You Tell Your (Slightly) Younger Self?

March 3, 2010 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 65 comments

Since last October, Mars has been retracking the path that Saturn (lessons, karma, obstacles, earthly rules) took from July 2005 until September 2006.

Since the start of March, Mars has been buzzing away at the July/August 2005 point of Saturn….More on Mars later but for now, see if those date are not evocative.

Also, if you could do a really quick little time-tour backwards to visit your slightly younger self in this time frame, what would you say to her/him.  Advice? Perspective?

Or if you want to do a Saturn cycle situation: How does late 96 and early 97 resonate for you?  What would you tell THAT person who was you??? Tres psych but also some good insights, yes?

lv_single647_wardNeil Strauss

In case you do not know, Mr Strauss is an author who wrote a book called The Game; Penetrating The Secret Society Of Pick-Up Artists. He considers himself one – using the pseudonym ‘Style’ – and has also just released a book about how to live ‘off the grid.” Check out his My Space. Seriously. Look at it. It’s essential for the astro-lesson coming.

He appalls me but i am also sort of in awe at his gall. Why now? Well, my Handsome Piscean Ex (HEX) whom i rarely see as he lives interstate & is married, has become enthralled to this damned guy. He tried a few of the stupid, patented pick-up moves on me until finally i said “have you been reading that f**King stupid book?”  He admitted it. He thinks the guy is a genius. It’s not about finding love or having a relationship – it’s like a whole separate lifestyle concept.

Anyway, HEX didn’t pick up that night. He fell asleep on my couch, bitching about feminism mid-sentence when he fell asleep. But i vowed to check out the astro-data for Mr Strauss. Just now i found his birthday. It’s hard to get as he bullshits about it but one of his frenemies in the “seduction community” outted him turning 40.

I mean, look at ANY of those links and tell me he is not a nervy piece of work. How the hell can someone proclaim themselves the world’s greatest pick-up artist and survivalist expert?

Guys, he is a MULTIPLE CONJUNCT ARIES: Sun, Mercury, Venus & Saturn – that’s a lot. Moon maybe in Libra or Scorpio. He has Jupiter with Pluto – which IS the mogul indicator. He has taken a fairly yicky premise and made shitloads from it. He’s clearly a great $$ operator. And he’s got Uranus conjunct South Node at 1 Libra. WHICH means that he should actually have some kind of genius insight to offer society when Saturn crosses over it in Nov/Dec. Plus Pluto is squaring it. And then again in late 2010. But what? I reckon maybe he’ll run for politics, lol.

But yes, self-proclaimed Expert in both Survival & Seduction is SO Aries Man and he’s full of it. Aries planets, I mean.

Also, is this just me, but do the fingerless lace gloves worn the lady in the picture above signify that she may be on the clock rather than someone pulled via his stunning expertise? God, I am SO PMT.

The First Supermodel

Happy Birthday to Veruschka - The First Supermodel!- seen here in 1968

Some of the most amazing & iconic images in fashion ever are of this woman. She’s still charging around, an artist now & totally individuated. The National Gallery of Warsaw is about to host a massive exhibition of her work. Asked a few years ago if she missed the glam of modelling, she replied “No. I have my own drama and glamour anyhow. As long as I am here, it is not gone.”

She’s German & over six foot tall – a no-no when she started modelling. Her mother was a Countess & her father a German army officer executed by the Nazis for his part in trying to assassinate Hitler in July 1944 so she spent time at first hiding in the forest and then in various gestapo camps. She was left homeless/destitute along with her mother & sisters after the war.

Her astro is fascinating!  Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus trined by Neptune. That’s already the rebel with a destiny and an other-worldly beauty right there. Taurus being on the three signs most blessed by Venus. Her Moon is in Pisces. She has Mercury, Venus and Saturn close together in Aries squared by Mars and Pluto. It’s a t-square as she has Mars in Capricorn opposite Pluto in Cancer and both squaring the Mercury, Venus & Saturn. I don’t know what time she born but I would be willing to bet a Libra Rising (more beauty) and so that’s caught up in a Grand Cross with the Mars, Pluto, Mercury, Venus & Saturn.  Her website is here.

Astro-Carla Bruni & Two Types Of Cap/Aqua

“…I have an austere temperament,” she says. “There are things that give me no pleasure: objects, clothes, jewelry. I’ve worn them all, but all that stuff interferes with my daily life.” She does her own hair. According to her friend Farida Khelfa, “Carla hates shopping and would wear the same pair of trousers every day if she could.” Makeup doesn’t interest her—”It takes forever and doesn’t make you look better after 30…”

From Vogue

Her chart is here & what do we see???

She has a poetic, musical & romantic Grand Water Trine with her Cancerian Ascendent trine Venus/Neptune in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. She has to have a creative outlet…Her Nodes are the reverse of Madonna’s so she comes comes from luxury but with the vision of learning to value more subtle manifestations of the light. Note – the literal meaning of luxury is ‘of the light’.

Saturn in Aries on the Midheaven – climbs, responsibility will become a leader as Uranus first squares her Sun at Zero degrees of Cap and then crosses the Saturn & midheaven from 2011 and beyond…Through annhilating (Uranus) some dominant paradigm?  Or a stupendous scandal? Moon-Pluto in Virgo…Austere temperament indeed. Would not pay to cross her…Maternal mortality as cause of her heart so fits the astro.

It just occurred to me that there seem to be two broad types of Capricorn….The austere ones & a slightly more earthy & robust variety a la Nigella Lawson – she of the cupcakes, goosefat and pragmatic sense of  humour.

It’s the same with Aquarians: You get the ravingly bats don’t-fence-me-in Uranian types & then a more Saturnine version (Saturn being the ancient ruler of Aquarius, before Uranus was discovered) with the clinical demeanour and dislike for anything not scientifically proven. Pisceans too are often either Jovial or Neptunian…As in Jupiter was their ruler before Neptune.  So you get these bon-vivant Pisceans prancing about who are more like Sagg & then these Neptunian entrancers gliding about, between worlds & official mystics.
