Saturn in Virgo

Imagine how weird and yet cool it would be to have your late teens turned into a movie...Joan Jett is played by Kristen Stewart in The Runaways, also starring Dakota Fanning…it looks so beautifully styled, all L.A. Glam Rock-Seventies Hair & an all-girl band banging around the place.

Joan Jett is still totally going for it (performing, sporting black leather trousers, attempting to break artistic boundaries etc)  & interestingly, this movie is coming out just as Saturn is right on her Virgo Sun.  The last time Saturn was her Sun was when the band was just breaking up in 1979. So eerie and apt…the way Saturn cycles work!

She’s Sun-Mercury-Venus-Pluto in Virgo with a feisty Uranus in Leo v.close by.

TME: It has been said that as a performer, you’re especially hard on yourself. Is this true?

JOAN JETT: Definitely. More so in the studio than live. On stage you just react to the moment, but I’m such a perfectionist. I’m a Virgo and I have a lot of Virgo in my chart. I expect to do things right the first time, every time — even when I know people should not expect ultimate perfection instantly from themselves. That just doesn’t happen. Say we’re recording a song and I’m doing a vocal. If I’m off key or hit one note slightly off, I don’t totally freak because I’m getting better about that. But I get really angry at myself. Realistically, you can only demand so much of yourself. I’m aware of that and I’m getting better about being more patient with myself.

AND, of course, she’s now got Uranus opposing her Virgo Sun: It’ll be fascinating to see where she takes this.

Yikes so Saturn is heading back into Virgo & we’re all going to be working a bit harder come April but could this St Virgo necklace of thorns (Virgos don’t do crowns – too ostentatious, obviously) catch on?

I think St Virgo would quite like it but want to trade in the gold for something less vulgar…a dignified silver?  Thoughts?

Pornography For Virgoans Part One was so popular (although I cannot believe they bitched about some of the pencils  not being neatly lined up & noticed that some were not evenly sharpened…actually I can) that I have some more.  I would like to think that this would cheer them up & distract them from the prospect of SATURN backing into their sign even as I type.

It won’t get there until April & it’s only going back to 27 degrees of Virgo (ie: Virgoans born close to the cusp of Libra get a good whiff of it but others are laughing) but still. It’s Saturn. And it’s opposing Uranus again.

Actually, for ALL of us, some kind of new innovative order we have been attempting to put into place all 2009 & maybe from earlier is being tested. Did we get get the Saturn bits of it right? The details? The core structure?  My god, CORE? Our core? The nature of Saturn is to endlessly carp away at the health & wealth issues + some accountability style guilting for seasoning. But when opposed by Uranus, the practical revamping pains ultimately serve the emancipation and FUN goals of Uranus. Ultimately.

How much easier would your Christmas have been with a Libran Fembot? This is Aiko with her creator Le Trang.

According to this article, the “$47,000 fembot was designed and built by hand, which is so lifelike that it can speak fluent English and Japanese and also help cook the turkey and hang up the decorations. Aiko, whose name is Japanese for “love-child,” is “in her early 20s,” 5 feet tall with a perfect 32, 23, 33 figure can react to being touched in certain ways like any other woman. Aiko with her amazing artificial intelligence can recognize faces and say hello to anyone she has met before and can speak 13,000 different sentences in two languages.”

So, okay yes I find that “being touched in certain ways” bit a tad sinister. But the astrology interests me. Le Trang claims to have had the idea for Aiko on August 15 2007 and she was completed (the first prototype – it’s an ongoing thing limited only by his access to funding) “about a month and a half later” So let’s take that literally and say September 30 2007 is her “birthday.”

Missy has Moon in Taurus – definitely she’d react to being touched in ‘certain ways’ – robot or NOT. Everyone knows that Moon in Taurus peeps go OFF only it’s considered polite to use terms such as ‘tactile’, ’sensual’ and ‘enthusiastic lover’.

Saturn in Virgo – oh the servitude & now he wants to tweak her to do more household chores. She’s got Venus in Leo opposite Neptune – would love to run off if only he’d hype the artificial intelligence by several billion gigabytes & would so totally do something about the frock situation but Saturn crossing over her Libra Sun = awareness of limitations. Her Mars is in Kataka – a teensy bit pass-agg. What’s the bet she does some weird shit to his cufflinks whilst cleaning them & he thinks it’s just short circuit or what-evs?

See – astrology works even for fembots. And I have e-mailed Mr Trang to enquire as to HIS birth details. Because i think they would be quite interesting, dontcha think?

L.A. fashion blog Bleach-Black say Priest-Wear going to be the IT thing for their Winter…That’s as in charging around day to day. It’s a look. Can we blame Pluto in Cap?  I mean Capricorn always vibes vaguely Thornbirdie to me. And it will no doubt give the Pope another few items to add to his lengthy shit-list. It’s probably a long scroll that goes out the door and down the long corridor. Or would it all be online?

The-Thorn-Birds

Then again as I keep reminding peeps in the middle of their ‘fuq Saturn’ celebrations, Saturn gets BACK into Virgo in April. Maybe Priest-Wear is really just a Saturn in Virgo trend?

Oh well Virgoans are about to go absolutely ape. Not only is Saturn out of their sign so they can go nano-seconds at a time without guilting themselves, they’ve got asteroid Pan (asteroid number 4450) and Dionysus (asteroid number 3671) in their sign with NO Saturn to be a spoilsport banging on about carbs post 6pm, liver function, sane adult relationships and so on. Pan and Dionysus are the good time guys of the Zodiac.

What else…Ceres is close to the Sun in Scorpio…I so need to keep a closer eye on Ceres and in fact, it is one of my 2010 resolutions. Monitor Ceres.

Circe is in late Scorpio squaring Neptune – yay! Psycho-sexual flirtations and bewitchery…Venus, Sappho, Pallas & Saturn all lurk together in lovely Libra – v.good brainiac and thinking weekend if one is  not too distracted by all the pandemonium.  Lilith, Psyche and Pandora join the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding.  There is BIG emphasis on Libra and Aquarius this weekend – high minded relationships, free love and new ideas infusing into everything.

Ishtar is in early Saggo trine – ta-dah! – Mars in Leo.  Hot. The Queen and her Warrior. Primordial life force rules.

Farewell Saturn in Virgo but of course, we will see Saturn back there again in 2010. Hence the importance of having done one’s Saturn Thru Virgo review…If  you are a devout Saturn tracker – and frankly, you ought to be if you have anything significant in the later degrees of a Mutable sign (Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, Saggo) – then Saturn retrogrades back into Virgo in April 2010 and covers the same territory as it between early October 2009 and now. Then it finishes up in Virgo for 30 years in July 2010.

So April-July 2010 is when the undone/unacknowledged tasks of October come back to, um, see you. I was going to use the word haunt and a really spooked up metaphor but i decided against it. Perhaps see it more as a revision test. But this is why it’s a good idea to absolutely grok all of October’s Saturn issues. They will seem to ease radically but don’t slide back into pre-Saturn-in-Virgo complacency.

For those of you just tuning in, Saturn is about to move from Virgo into Libra. There are about a thousand-million posts on this site about the situation. Seriously, I just tried to find one to link to. Too many.

But my point: I want to take  up a collection to help fund Saturn’s earlier shift into Libra. It will currently be in about 28 hours from now. And no, thank you Saturn, I do NOT want to go and precisely measure that so as to be more precise and poised in my delivery of astrological information. I want to somehow fund Saturn to get into Libra NOW.  Even go haunt orbit in a different galaxy.  They say a cool new one was just discovered. I personally would trust travel information from N.A.S.A & so you’d think Saturn would find it fab!

Because right now, it’s like Saturn lingers in the last degrees of Virgo like a should-go-on hols anal-compulsive type stays on at the office, hanging out just to straighten piles of papers on the desk, write guilting narking-off notes and hack into peeps personal shit to see if they are slacking off or not.

For the next 28-ish hours, the Saturn-Virgo vibe intensifies…Go already! What will it take? How much $$$? Or is this the sort of complicated operation that needs to be measured in wheelbarrows of gold delivered to the crossroads at 3.10 am? Or SOULS?! Saturn please don’t creep me out and start on the mortality thing. I am onto the taxes I swear. Let’s leave it there for now.

Saturn Vision is strange. People seem strangely really old or ultra young. And not old in a good way: Decrepit, bodies like wind-gnarled old fig trees on some oceanic cliff, struggling  up the road in black robes OR really YOUNG as in caramel limbed leaping about with youthful joy and boundless hope. Rich – as in driving past laughing in convertibles or Poor to the extent of squabbling over five cents in the gutter. This is how Saturn makes you think.

The Inner Voice Of Saturn in Virgo Goes Something Like This:

Stop Whinging, it’s so immature…Well, you wouldn’t feel so “stressed” if you were more organised and stuck to your goals…You are not working that hard, have you ever measured the hours you spend doing actual WORK?…I think you will find a lot of it is non-essential activity…You are confusing the stress from your organisational failures with the stress you might feel if you put in a more solid performance…No, I am not counting the gym as non-essential activity although, why you bother when  you undo all the good work with your weak and unruly approach to nutrition is beyond me…Nonsense. It is a simple matter of self-control…No, you need to develop it. To work on it. Which would take a work ethic….

Dear Saturn,

We are Virgo-ing out here. We get it. Don’t bother with that shitty looking skirting board. We are already initiating a regular skirting board check to ensure that the all important border between the floors and the wall is not ignored again. Yes, the memo about how skirting board stains left untreated can lead to the floor detaching from the walls and the whole house sinking into hell WAS received. Thank you. And I even dreamed about it. Thank you for that extra reminder. Sometimes I forget that you are a Deity.

Enjoy Libra and please click through to the NASA link above to check out that HOT new galaxy…

Okay so the situation this week is not so intense as the Mars junket that inspired Mars Options back in Mid-August. Do go back and read so that you can see my point.

But what we DO have is the Sun in Scorpio being squared by Mars in Leo. Sun-Mars alone is quite bolshie enough but in such primal, jungle and unforgiving signs? Tres ruthless.  Thankfully the sucky and mellow Venus-Jupiter trine + having to dirge through the dregs of Saturn in Virgo probably stops a lot of us going-for-it with  our Scorped up Sun-Mars square urges.  We can’t afford it! And Mars in Leo won’t do it without a good out fit and a spa to go and recover in after making his/her scene.

But there is still a choice…You can

(1) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Scorpio. I am talking whacked out diet, advanced astral tripping and conspiracy theorising for pleasure.

(2) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Leo. Think compulsive grooming, devising a new image, watching Out Of Africa with a box of chocolates, some gin and your monogrammed hankies to snivel into.

(3) Vibe Lower Scorp via some google-stalking, facebook cooking, obsessive tarot reading, scribbling stream of consciousness crap in your black book of shitlists/assorted bile and ordering online hoodoo remedies.

(4) Vibe Lower Leo via a quick blow-out, a snort  of hair-spray and off you strut to lecture your lowerlings on the superiority of thou,  hold forth on the crap state of the country because you are not running it and denounce religion – what would be the point unless YOU were the supreme deity. Then, when hubris has reached critical levels, text something that you only think is subtle as you’re so s-faced.

(5) Channel Venus-Jupiter and think beautiful, crystal-style thoughts of love and compassion towards even those peeps who truly annoy you. Because, after all, they are not so blessed nor nearly so clever, lucky and pretty as lovely one.

(6) Nothing because you are too busy devising better systems for living via the total Life Coach time management system that is Saturn in the last degrees of Virgo. Seriously, you keep tabs of time and output etc, crunch some numbers and VOILA: genius insights.You also know, because you are so fabulous, that Saturn is going to come BACK to these late degrees of Virgo in early 2010. So even though everything feels different and enlightened v.soon, cleave to the sense of urgency that is making you revamp systems now.

(7) Nothing as you are either an Aries in love with a Leo or a Leo in love with an Aries and you are able to take this extra heat and use it incognito.

And, as you are reading this, i am sure you have it already but if Mars in Leo is really giving you the shits (tired, perpetually pissed off, easily irritated, ready to scream etc) then do order Martian Bats.

It doesn’t matter WHAT everyone tells you to do, what you think you should do or however this weekend is being played; the Moon is in Capricorn and Saturn schlepping along through the end degrees of Virgo. Status anxiety and performance awareness vie with health-time-efficiency-motion study AND task consciousness…It won’t go away till you measure it, define it, write it down, acknowledge it and create a plan to address the inefficiencies in your system.

And then, once you have satisfied the Saturn-Cap vibe by delineating what was previously vague…voila! Zen-Zone…Never mind that it may, in theory, take till the next time Uranus rounds the Earth for you to get a grip on the admin-self-esteem nexus. T’is the effort that is prized by la luna in Cap et al.
