When the Moon moves into Libra and starts to conjoin Saturn/square Pluto, one naturally thinks of one’s secrets. But because it’s a Libran Moon, they can seem quite elegant, more like delicious surreal things to be weirdly cherished…Still intense though.

The Walking Man by Giacometti has broken the world mega-bucks $$$ record in sculpture, selling to an anonymous bidder over the telephone for $104 million US. You know how it is, when you have a few drinks and there is a lot of Aquarius action in the air. You VALUE art for fuqs sake.
The sculptor is a Libran but i’m betting he had s-loads of Saturn going on in his chart as a lot of his work looked like this. And I couldn’t have this in the house (even if someone gave it to me, lol, I’d hire or charitably donate him out to places) because the spindly legs flip me out. Like a tall man striding out of a concentration camp or something with his poor feet sticking in glug and the back foot looks like he is wearing heels from two seasons ago.
It’s so Saturnine. I mean, really, does this sculpture not epitomise Thin and Rich?
So if you had just over $100 million to blow on sculpture, where would you put this thing? By the fridge to stop you from doing late night Carbophilia? In the garden as a Yuppy Scarecrow? In your bedroom to hang your discarded clothes off?
The kind of art you like is your Moon so when answering, please quote your Moon…
My Moon is in Libra so I like only classical Greek style sculptures that are sort of curvy and well-built…This thing worries me. Apparently, The Walking Man was done in the 1960s and purposely to go around banks in Manhatten…So, what does that mean? Is there an Art Historian in the house?
Finally: So appropriate that THiS is the big art shebang of Saturn Square Pluto in Capricorn for the 2nd time.
I don’t have a single planet in the sign of the Sea-Goat but I’m turning Capricorn.
I so completely blame the Saturn-Pluto Square for this.
I’m getting Capricorn Consciousness. At least, I think that’s what it is. Could any actual real-life Capricorns please enlighten me.
I am walking home and realize that i need to buy olive oil spread (like butter) but that i’ll have to either get $ out at a non-my-bank atm & thus pay a fee or purchase enough stuff to make the shop card limit. Petty stuff. Usually, i would be like so t.f what. But my Capricorn Consciousness said “you know what? You don’t even NEED revolting hydrogenated crap in your arteries. Live clean. You are not going to give that bank a cent that you don’t have to and why go and buy extra stuff you don’t actually need? Enjoy the thrill of not doing it…”
Guys, this is how Capricorns get +stay thin and rich. Stinge on the small stuff so they can slurge on the big items. The only thing I have ever known Capricorns not mind paying for is good advice (like their lawyer).
But for me it’s uncharacteristic. So if you haven’t been paying attention up the back there, Saturn in Libra squared (a challenge) Pluto in Capricorn last November and just the other day. Saturn is now whizzing backward to oppose Uranus again (that all began last Feb) and then forward again to square Pluto for the third and final time in August 2010.
So a lot of us are doing Saturn Girl/Capricorn Consciousness and it’s feelling okay. It’s sort of like we are settling into Pluto in Capricorn. I mean, it’s there until 2024. And you know Saturn RULES Capricorn so when Saturn aspects Pluto in the sign that it rules, you betcha there are tangible changes and some hardcore pragmatism.
Even my Saggo Neighbour Dude, renowned for his feck-free approach to life, has embarked upon a cleaning, gardening (growing salad vegetables to provide his band with cheap nutrition so they can work extra-long hours) and 60hour a week funds-sourcing ventures.
Saturn Square Pluto need not be a shitstorm. Seriously. But it is definitely the time to make rad changes in the structures around you: Your beliefs, your goals & systems. Things change during this particular alignment and yes, it is associated with geopolitical turmoil.
This Saturn Square Pluto situation began last November, perfects the middle bit of its cycle on Feb 1 and completes in August. So you look back to events/emo of last November for clues if you need to. Intensity is the norm with this thing – as is a savage urge to tear down what feels moribund and build up from zero. It has a distinct ruthless vibe to it and it is totally not the time to fuq with anyone.
So – yes to drastic reforms and realizations. No to goading tyrannical or extreme types. The maximum stress from this sort of aspect comes from clinging onto ye olde ideas or relationships that have had their day & you know it. Note the timing: There’s a Full Moon in drama-queenie Leo right before the Saturn-Pluto square is exact. So it’s theatrical too.
Any little resentments/sensations of feeling crowded et al will out themselves & in total Leonic scenary-chewing fashion. It’s not astrology for wimps & nor is it the time for sooky-goo-goo sentimental nostalgia.
Joy, the Sun is in Aquarius. Not that there was anything wrong with the Sun in Cap BUT it led to rather too much Earth energy & thus a preoccupation with the Past, worldly affairs and all. Now that is still there – how could it not be with Saturn-square-Pluto again? – but there is a big extra ZING in the air as the Sun & Venus in Aquarius race toward conjunctions with magical Chiron & Neptune AND oppositions with Mars.
How does this work? Ideally all the guts and glory of an even retrograde Mars in Leo can be harnessed to service the higher aims & more innovative bent of the Sun & Venus in Aqua. Note also that the Sun, which is in Aquarius now, also rules Leo, where Mars is. This is called Mutual Reception guys and long story, but it’s good. There is also a Leo-Aquarius Full Moon involving Mars. But this is good – recognition is en route for where-ever you are showing off awesome courage & innovation.
So, yes it’s a Full Moon and there are loads of oppositions around but it’s not the Cancerian Full Moon emo-apocalypse tone of that last Eclipse over New Year’s Eve. This could be FUN. But Leo-Aqua energy is also not especially emotional – both signs share a fierce desire to be recognised for individuality and to not be fuqed with. If there’s any chance whatsoever Leo/Aqua can be more successful if single – wham: hello, independence. Neither like to be clung to, unless it’s by a supermodel or an alien.
So it’s not the time to look back and grizzle. It’s the time to shake out your mane, get your nails done, come up with some (more!) clever ideas and get out there to strut thy genius. It’s also about ensuring your efforts benefit the whole group – even if it is just your entourage.
Strange point to ponder: Could the combo of healthy self-love (maybe even a bit pathological but whatevs) a la Leo AND Aquarian diffidence/sci-fi mind way ahead be more helpful to relationships then talking anything through or even knowing what you feel? With this Astroscape, yes.
Peeps in Norway are apparently baffled by this strange spiral formation that just appeared in the sky. A spiral is, of course, a tres cosmic and magical symbol with many meanings.
What do we think of this?
The Rapture? Mayan Astro Shite? The fault of that blasted Gigantic Particle Collider in Switzerland? A fancy Russian experimental Rocket? Photoshop? Aliens? The Singularity?
“…The light was captured by amateur photographer Jan Petter Jorgensen while he was on his way to work at a salmon factory.
“The light appeared for 2-3 minutes. I could not believe my eyes, and got the shivers and was quite shaken by it”, Mr Jorgensen said.
Morten Kristiansen, who saw the light phenomena from Sortland in northern Norway, added: ” A large ring appeared, and then spread out, sending a green beam down to earth.”

The Astro of this? Sun Square Uranus…Saturn Square Pluto…Jupiter nearing Neptune. Quite profound…Thoughts?
The Moon is in Libra, nearing Saturn and squaring Pluto…So it’s Libra with a Saturnine edge – scented aplomb (aplomb actually means balanced) & restraint – and Plutonic undercurrents; endings, beginnings, alchemy, clandestine lusts…Don’t let on or out until the New Moon in Sagittarius/Mars-Venus exact trine next week. Smell GORGEOUS. Manners matter. Your secret diary is a sight to behold. And hands up whose dreams are lucid AND lurid. Did I tell you that i had one the other night in which i was giving birth…to myself.
I know there is heaps of Saturn Girl stuff on here – you can use the Tags or Search engine to find it if you like – but this is just a brief note about the current Saturn cycle for those who have not been tracking it.
Saturn is now in the middle of a cycle that began back in March and, more strongly, in September, when Saturn last opposed Uranus. Then, just the other week, Saturn squared Pluto. In late January it squares Pluto again. Then, in April 2010, it opposes Uranus. And again in July. Finally, in August, it squares Pluto.
I can’t keep typing ‘again’ and ‘again’ again. But you get my point?
This has been and is non-stop Saturn-Uranus-Pluto action.
Uranus & Pluto are the Gods Of Change – Saturn is our worldly structure and Saturnine changes are for real. They manifest in everyday life.
If you think there is a lot of change about you and those you know, sit down and note the evolution in your life since March 2009. Who’s still around? Who’s gone? How have you altered? How have you improved? You may not have had time to track it but i betcha there has been a potent and distinct tracking upward, no matter what merde you’ve gone through.
And if not? I’d actually be more worried if nothing had altered…So, Saturn-Uranus-Pluto have a way to go on this track. The evolution continues. Saturn-Girl is still hard at work, helping you eliminate “tolerations” from your life and the person you were always meant to be. And, lol, it probably has a lot to do with getting the basics together so that you may better pursue your dreams.
Note that Saturn-Pluto-Uranus is especially hard on moribund relationships. Go on and list your evolution since March 2009 + the “tolerations” you have eliminated. Sensitive or astro-fiendy readers will have noticed that i have been gently trying to introduce the topic of Uranus in Aries from mid-2010 and how it will then square Saturn and Pluto.
Evolving now, while the going is good, is the easier way.
Neptune is nearly Direct & for the next few days this means Neptune RULES: You could be drunk all the time but in kind of a happy, nebulous, creative and Neptunian way. Drunk writing poetry as opposed to drunk sending shitty texts to your ex or google-stalking or watching crap tv.
Dreams will be SO intense & lucid. I am sure you are all sick of me carrying on and ON about this but i am convinced – still – that keeping a dream diary is the most cost-effective and amazing form of psychic awareness possible. And that the more you consciously try to work with dreams, the more they communicate with you. Did I tell you my incredible Bast dream already?
Neptune energy may also be a bit vague so take care & realise that you may be super-sensitive & it’s Okay…Moon in Gemini, Saturn in Libra square Pluto makes for an interesting backdrop. I am going to do an extended Saturn-Pluto rant in the Daily Mystic for subscribers…
How are we all Phoenixing in the wake of that Mars-Squared Full Moon??? It was bang-on my IC (cusp of the home sector) & squared by Mars fuqing around in my 6th so I hit the roof at my now-ex-Feng-Shui Master for various good reasons & went out to get a new one. A Gemini! This, for me, is major and SUCH a good damned fit with the Astro…What I love about it is only after-the-event did i think ’shit, that Full Moon was right on my IC and look what i did.”
So anyway, think what you realised – and with Mars squaring, there is always an element of irritation leading to this realisation, it’s NOT Zen Noire – and then see the New Moon on November 16/17 as the big new Scorpionic fresh beginning vibe. The Phoenixing. It starts now, obviously, but this is the culling stage. And Saturn square Pluto so wants to help…Mars in Leo is kinda in v.loose and weird aspect to the pair of them so there is motivation galore.
Phoenixing Revelations micro and macro here please…
Remember also to notice how decisions or ideas make you FEEL…Excited? Hi-Qi? Scattered? Low? Etc…
