Scorpio Moon Waxing…

The Moon’s Scorpionic & so too will the Sun be by Friday…Mars is in Leo till next June – get Martian Bats if you haven’t already – and Saturn has just ten more days to stay in Virgo for now!!! S-Loads of change is afoot & the Scorpio Moon is a brilliant time to emotionally process it all and get to pertinent, striking perceptions with ease. It’s sexy too + metaphysical & a tad power-trippy + the now-building trine from Venus to Jupiter means flirtations or new money biz can expand rapidly out of more or less nothing. The Moon in Scorp and Mars in Leo (anything between Leo and Scorp, actually) always feels a bit like Jungle Energy…don’tcha reckon?  And btw, if the Mutable signs are going to gloat about Saturn getting out of Virgo, that’s awesome but please don’t freak out the Cardinals.

Mutables; Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces – have been affected on and  off by Saturn since late 2007. A bit austere, details-ridden and ancient feeling than they would prefer. Especially Saggo who also  had Pluto for heaps of it.

Cardinals; Capricorn, Libra, Aries, Cancerians…I call the latter Kataka on the Daily Scopes…It is Ancient Sanskrit name for their sign. Sacred Scarab and all that. Cardinals – especially those born early in their sign- are about to get a zap from Saturn…All perfectly for their own good and growth, naturally. All Cardinals should totally have the Saturnalia Confidential...

Astro-Compatibility: Gemini & Capricorn A Go-Go

Gemini & Capricorn?  If  you ever see these two out together, you’d think not.  As in the ‘no effing way’ sense of ‘not’.  But they – like Cancerians and Aquarians – are a surprisingly common ‘incompatible’ coupling. I don’t believe in Sun Sign compatibility v.deeply. As in – if the Gem has got Virgo Rising and the Cap is rocking a Leo Moon – voila, compatibility and who cares about the Suns being in stupid quincunx.

BUT it’s hilarious as they value different things. Gemini loves wit, wordplay and to feel in motion. Gemini is ludicrously non-judgemental and amoral. Cap is mega-moral and worships structure/status. They are usually tres clear and concise communicators and it’s on one level. Geminis don’t want to be bored. Capricorns don’t want to be broke. Gem prizes stimulation. Cap values peace of mind.

HOWEVER: Together these two have a lot of good sex and amass heaps of money. Also, remember that Gemini may be whimsical but the word Capricorn has links to “caprice”.  Think  of how goats are hideously serious most of the time; scaling mountains with their bare hooves and incredible balance, eating people’s laundry, butting people and looking devilish. But then they kick up their hooves and do cool goat dancing. Add to that the Capricorn link to Pan & Dionysus – chaos Gods for sure. And that the Capricorn Goat is actually a Mergoat…Yes, deep down the Capricorn (especially post-Saturn Return) out-weirds the Gemini.

Even if, it’s true, nobody is better than talking it up in party mode, than our Gem.

Mercury Retro-Bats Flashback: The Last Time Saturn Was Here…

Okay peeps just a few more days until Mercury goes Direct – back up your data and watch the mixed messaging. Faith-healing or just-wait may fix your screwed appliance by next Wednesday.  Meanwhile, Saturn is also in territory it has not been in for (eek) 29 years ago & the last time Saturn was at this point this Devo song was massive…

An Amazing Post-Full Moon Poem + Your Uranus Return!!!!

Thank you O Full Moon in Pisces, for all those awesome insights & fresh vows.

Now, the gentleman above is Nobel Prize winning poet & playwright Derek Walcott – the pic is grainy as I tore it out of the mag and scanned it but he is 79. And it’s current!  So he has racked up two Saturn Returns and is just a few years off from having his Uranus Return – in Aries and at age 84. Yes, there has been a bit of scandal about him - debated at length – but i was SO impressed by the vision of still-happy, healthy & hot-at-70-something successful poet that i looked at his astro…

Because given that, thank you Saturn, aging/maturity is apparently some sort of stupid condition of birth, it’s awesome to see examples such as Derek W, above.  And the Uranus Return at 84ish is like your reward for having tried to be cool & individuated your whole life long + you’ve had to do the Saturn shit as well.

Okay, so he is 2 degrees of Aqua born in 1930, St Lucia – what a life, his grandmothers descended from slaves, his father a Bohemian artist, he became a teenage theatre critic in Trinidad. And he’s got Moon in Scorpio….Mercury Retrograde (a LOT of poets are born when Mercury Retrograde – i need to get my imaginary astrological intern onto researching this) & DW has Venus, Mars +Saturn in Capricorn. God, anything in Cap makes peeps age well.  Pluto opposes from Cancer. Sex drive. Life drive. Primordial.

Neptune trines his Saturn which is just beautiful synergy for a successful and acclaimed poet – the easy combination of the Muse with the Sage, artistic talent with biz sense et al.  And Jupiter trines his Sun for a beautiful boost of luck + charisma.

This poem of his is SENSATIONAL and so apt for post-Full Moon in Pisces, with Pluto nearly Direct…And maybe, it’s how you feel at Uranus Return???

Love After Love by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.


Astro-Gaga: Would You Date A Male Poser & What Sign Would He Have To Be To Make It Workable?

August 19, 2009 in Astro Gaga, Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 23 comments

I’m serious. It would be impossible if he were Aries or Leo as the ego would operate as a forcefield. Even sex would be hopeless as it would get in the way of their relationship with themself. I’m thinking it would work if the poser were a Gemini or Pisces so totally amusing in between bouts of pretentiousness…A mercurial and youthful sort of a poser. I’m not being age-ist but Saturn Return is like the end of faux posturing – it’s  meant to be when you buff off the bullshit & emerge, gleamingly authentic. And anyway, the question….

Astro-Housewitchery; The Peachblossom Remedy

July 13, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Good Housewitchery by Mystic Medusa | 6 comments

IMG_6346-a

The Peachblossom Remedy is one of the most notorious in Feng Shui.

Why? Because it’s tremendously effective at attracting love/lust  but you really should not set it up sans having a proper Feng Shui consult first. Also, it is renowned for bringing in suitors but not necessarily what my Feng Shui Master calls a “quality relationship.” And it’s probably best to also ensure your bed direction is correct as well. So whilst I totally get all this and recommend peeps fix all the Feng Shui/geomancy/uncluttering before activating this, the Peachblossom Remedy is helpfully online here.

If anyone wants to give it a bash & then blog it in the comments stream, it would be VERY interesting. I put mine up the other month but had to take it down I was too busy to deal with the phone calls & requests for “dates.” It totally works but that “quality” provisio is accurate. I love Feng Shui. I often muse about doing a service where I go to someone’s house and skilfully unclutter etc it for them but nobody would let me be ruthless enough, I know it.

Another interesting romance ritual to do is to get the moment of your Venus Return – it is like Saturn Return but much more common and pleasurable. Your Venus Return is when Venus – Goddess of Love, Beauty, Sexual Rapture et al – gets to the same position she was at when you were born. You light a pink candle & do various other things. But you need to either be an astro-fiend, an ephemeris whiz or get an Astro-Query to figure it. If you want to meet someone amazing, it’s a fantastic date to go out on. Sunrise on a Friday is also lucky lovewise and good for Venus Rituals if you don’t know your Venus Return date AND when Mars is on your Venus – about once every two years as well.

Aqua 1 & Aqua 2

Lol, this is NOT about my Aquarius men again. No, no, NO. It’s actually about how even though Aquarius is not one of the classical ‘twin’ or ‘dual’ signs, a la Gemini & Pisces or even Sagg (half Wise Centaur-Sage, half back end of Horse), there are two different types of Aquarius. At least, such is the theory.

Before the discovery of Uranus (in 1781 and the thing was originally going to be called Herschel, after the discoverer, a Scorpio) Aquarius was said to be ruled by Saturn. So there was Capricorn ruled by Saturn and then Aquarius also ruled by Saturn only an Air sign.

The idea is that you have your whackjob Uranian kind of Aquarius who will simply not conform to any norm ever invented…just because. He/she is totally into freedom for all creatures & proves it on a daily basis, in one way or another.

And then you have your more austere sort of Saturnine Aquarian, who tends more toward the scientific & intellectual rigours of some lofty calling, rather than every day Uranian rebellion. They’re a bit more controlling and not into emo but often genius-like in some area. Saturnine Aquas keep their distance from me – the last one I met said to me: “Let me get this perfectly straight. You make your living from something that does not exist?”

So, I only know the Uranian ones, when they deign to beam down from where-ever it is Uranians zing off to. Also, I am not sure about this but i have noticed that a lot of Aquarians completely blossom after Saturn Return and in spectacular fashion.  Thoughts?

D.I.Y. Astro -Saturn!

May 22, 2009 in D.I.Y. Astro by Mystic Medusa | 108 comments

bearing-chronos-lg

Time-Lordly Saturn, God of boundaries and that which can be measured – am not in the mood to go into mortality & taxes right now but one could. But right now, am interested in the POSITIVE side of Saturn. Saturn has just whizzed Direct and is now zooming through the end degrees of Virgo, with one BIG opposition to Uranus before zipping into Libra. Last weekend was a strong Saturn vibe, f.y.i.

But this D.I.Y. Astro challenge is simply this. Get your chart & clock the sign and the house that Saturn is in; This area of your life is one that’s achingly difficult in early life – perhaps even pre-Saturn Return but it becomes buffed up, worked at and eventually your shining pride. And most likely only you will know how hard it was. Where-ever Saturn is, you get to WORK.  You have to have a proper structured plan. You learn harsh lessons in that area of life.

eg; a lot of self-made people have Saturn in the 2nd house – $$$ and self-worth, to name the most pertinent themes. They can seem amazingly financially secure, glowingly prosperous even but they’ve had to struggle not only for that money but for the idea that they deserve it. Perhaps also to crawl out from under some strange inheritance from a parent re money. I mean inherited ideas…eg; a gambling father. Or a mother who hoarded things. Your Saturn area is often also where you are self-taught.

Saturn in the 6th can be someone who was sick or somehow burdened with an allergy or similar in youth. So later they become these incredible beacons of fitness, nutrition and knowledge – it’s not apparent what they had to go through to get to that point. I know someone with Saturn in the 6th who had to wear some sort of a orthopedic cast thingie at primary school to correct a spine problem, which mortfied her. She was hospitalised for anorexia as a teen and then – to get over that – she got into competitive body building. In each extreme she went over the top; now she is a really brilliant homeopath & yoga teacher.  Most people who meet her would have  no idea the issues she had with her body.

So, go check out your Saturn & see what you can figure out. It’s always good to remember to be sensitive with another person’s Saturn area. And, it’s always the area of someone’s chart/life that they really love having honestly acknowledged. eg; Saturn in the 3rd (communications) could be someone who had to overcome a severe speech defect or was maybe raised in an environment where she wasn’t really allowed to talk. So that Saturn would love being acknowledged for her eloquence or even just lovely speaking voice. Saturn in the 3rd can start with a stutter and/or shyness and wind up on the radio or the public speaking circuit. True!

Q: What is the best placement for Saturn?

A: In someone else’s chart.

Lol & happy Saturn Direct. Note; The house where Saturn lurks in your chart is often the source of some pain in earlier life but becomes buffed up into your shining pride later, post-Saturn Return et al. Anyway, Saturn is stationing Direct & so tangible signs of the new era are all around you, ready or not. Two things; it would be apt to limit the Mercury Retro nostaglia/backward analysis as much as poss, brush away a tear, scrub up and get set to move on with courage & grace…Embrace the new thing with open arms.

And that note how Saturn even now is beginning to make the opposition with Uranus again so that sensation of having amazing Uranian visions & innovation that have to be balanced with an apparently relentless details/things-to-be-done/$$$/health maintenance mania is BACK & building. You can try to balance it all out with grace (the Security V.s. Intimacy thing or the Creative Vision v.s practical concerns) OR you can oscillate insanely between three day tequila & art jags and kombucha fuelled kundalini contemplation stints.

Grace Jones – Taurus with Moon in Scorpio…& just had her 2nd saturn return

“Your acting’s a drag
It’s OK on TV cause you can turn it off
But don’t try me.”

Grace Jones: Taurus, With Moon in Scorpio…

“…Grace laughs and gestures at Brendan, who’s joined us, to give her one of his cigarettes. ‘You can’t smoke in here,’ he says. ‘Shut the door,’ she demands. ‘I’ll smoke out the window.’ The window actually gives out on to another part of the restaurant. Not that that is going to stop Grace. ‘What are they going to do? Arrest me? Put me in jail?’ The waiter comes in and gets even more crotchety, but Grace waves him away, declaring that it’s not a cigarette, it’s incense and could he fermez la porte when he leaves. She finishes off the bottle of red wine and orders a double sambuca. And things start going haywire. Grace notices the full moon, up above. ‘My moon is in Scorpio,’ she declares. ‘I’m feeling horny. Be careful.’ Brendan decides that she’s had enough of the interview….”
