Saturn Is In Da House

February 22, 2010 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 48 comments

Saturn is in da house and leaving helpful notes on your bathroom mirror.

Seriously, yes we all love the Magical Realism of Pisces & I personally am v.happy about my Venus Return next week being near Uranus & all…But Saturn is blatting backwards to rekindle the Saturn-Uranus Opposition (exact in April – tangible in March) and then square Pluto again.

So i am thinking the trick is to be magical, imbued with spiritual faith, visualizing other realms etc AND flossed/exfoliated/legally sane and with a coherent plan re health-wealth.

Astro-Jennifer Aniston

February 8, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 73 comments

In the ‘living well is the best revenge’ tradition, Jennifer Aniston is on the cover of the only magazine her ex Brad Pitt purportedly reads or gives a merde about, with a triumphant gleam in her eyes but otherwise looking mega-casual and uncomplicated. The main point of the article seems to be that she has spent s-loads transforming what were previously His and Her bathrooms into a spa complex.

This current Chiron-Neptune conjunction (the fabulous, magic one) is bang-on her Sun so presumably she feels quite happy reading (if she bothers) articles suggesting that Brad is terribly unwell due to being hideously unhappy (that beard is a cry for help, no?) and that Angelina is getting set to turn herself into a Princess Diana character with a more “statesman-like” partner.

Jennifer’s got Libra Rising (wow would she hate Brad’s beard or what?) and a sensational Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Libra that is about to have Saturn go over it. So v.innovative new career stuff in the next two years. Plus she’s got Mars-Neptune in Scorpio…super calculating & strategic.

Librans Truly Do Think Pink

Here’s proof that Librans truly DO think pink.

This is the Bermuda dining room of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas – a multiple Libran couple. Both are actually born on the same day of Libra: September 25.  So they are actually having a hell of a Saturn-Pluto transit right now and until August.

Seriously, how pink is this place?

Mars Retro-Bats Mania One- the G-Spot

January 6, 2010 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 47 comments

So, what is this?

Mars goes Retrograde and suddenly scientists are saying the G-Spot doesn’t exist?

Nice try but I don’t think so.

Mars rules men & sex, amongst other things.  Retro-Mars gets opposed by Venus at the end of January – i’d like to think that this ‘there is no G-spot’ nonsense will be overturned at that point.

I actually read – yonks ago – a really naff astrology & sex book that said only womanly water signs had G-spots and that air sign woman had trouble orgasming. There were loads and loads of these amazingly specific ‘facts’ but really, how would one know?

Dr Ernst Graffenberg (he’s the ‘discoverer’ of it and why it’s commonly called the G-Spot & not the Jade Gateway or however Tantric Sex peeps refer to it) was a Libran and right now SATURN IS ON HIS SUN & Pluto squaring.  He would be fuquing furious at all these scientists denouncing his spot, don’t you think?

Au Revoir Saturn In Virgo

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.

Astro-Brandi Brandt and a Timely Saturn Transit Point

September 23, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-Passages, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 27 comments

brandibrandt-420x0

The Scorpio Sex Academic has just pointed out to me that this image is the “quintessential 80s porn.”  In what context? Brandi Brandt – a former Miss October (I nearly typed ‘ms’ than but it’s not, is it?) – and mother of three is now linked to an alleged cocaine smuggling racket in Sydney. She’s a Scorpio and I have TWO astro points to make re all this.

(1) She was born just after an Eclipse at 13 Aries and her first Playboy cover was on another Eclipse at 13 Aries. That’s mega-rare – Eclipse, same degree etc.

(2) She has a STUNNING Mars, Jupiter and Pluto conjunction in late Virgo. These sorts of peeps can do ANYTHING. It’s guts, work ethic, flair and supersonic cosmic power if you want to tap into it. Luck too.  But right now Saturn is crossing the lot. That only happens every 29 years but you do NOT do anything even vaguely dodgy with Saturn on your Mars/Pluto especially.  Just so as you know. Remember – Saturn anything is where you play it straight and that goes quaduple when it’s potentially hardcore planets like Mars.  Saturn transitting Mars involving the law courts/potential incarceration etc is like the totally lower manifestation of a Saturn Mars transit but it fits.

Learning To Love Saturn Again

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

073-saturn-girlSaturn 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.

Saturn-Venusian Transits & Venus-Neptune/Pisces/12th House

August 13, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 34 comments

cover_3Having Saturn transitting one’s Venus is like being stalked by a scary life coach. If your Venus is between 18 and 26 degrees of a Mutable sign, you’re having a Saturn-Venus transit. Or 18 to 26 of anything but especially the Mutable. It’s very similar if Saturn is aspecting your Ascendent  or Descendent.  Or transitting (I so nearly typed transhitting) your 5th or 7th House.

So my Venus – this is just to illustrate- is at 22 Pisces and trine Neptune in Scorpio. Venus in Pisces peeps are already prone to romanticise – having it trine Neptune is just the icing. So the other day I’m walking out of the gym and my mind meanders to the stupid Uranian & his devastating combo of black hair/blue eyes & how charming he can be when not off his face. Venus-Neptune v.quickly took me to a point where I was thinking how my Saturn his on his North Node and that maybe it is my destiny to sort his life out or something like that.

Suddenly I swear I practically heard the voice of Saturn; ‘get a fuqing grip, don’t date men who are beneath you.’  Now Venus in Pisces is about universal compassion and she certainly doesn’t think people are beneath you. But Saturn is all about setting standards and having the self-control to stick to them. Venus in Pisces never lets go of an ex. She drops them – yes- and usually for someone else but then Venus in Pisces doubles-back & re-idealizes the Ex, just for kicks. It gets Venus in Pisces peeps (Venus-Neptune is similar) a bad reputation but they don’t mean to be manipulative.

Venus in Pisces/12th House/aspecting Neptune has another core competency – apart from compassion and forgiveness; the ability to imbue anyone she considers hot with enormous spiritual qualities & a sense of fate being at play. This is apt for men with the Venus set up as well – i say she as we are talking about Venus here. Men with Venus in Pisces/12th house/aspecting Neptune are usually v.aware of the Madonna-Ho complex. They live there, lol.

So if you’ve got Saturn on your case – right now the Taskmaster is at 20 degrees of Virgo – remember that he is just doing his job & that the sooner you set up some boundaries and enforce them + work about ten times harder than would seem appropriate, the Saturnine stress dissipates & cop the rewards: Health, Wealth & Wisdom.

Cleopatra – An Aquarius? Plus Where Is Your Nefertiti?

August 12, 2009 in Astro-Fiends by Mystic Medusa | 56 comments

cleopatra-colbert

All that is known of Cleopatra’s birth is that it was in January of 69BC, rendering her a Capricorn or an Aquarius Sun. I was sitting there last night, pondering some sort of gag a la how she could/could not be either one of those signs, whatever. Suddenly, like a fiend possessed, I decided to figure out her birthdate. Thanks to the glory of Astrodienst I was able to check out the astro for Jan 69BC.  You can’t whiz up charts for that date, but they have an ephemeris.

I have decided that she was born on January 28 in 69BC. She’s an Aquarius. This was not just me guessing. I actually looked for the date she met Mark Antony as I assumed that would show up some fairly significant astrological transits to her chart. So, they met in October  of 41BC – if she were born on January 28 that would have Uranus crossing over Mars at that point. None of the other dates earlier in the month fit this. Uranus crossing over your Mars is totally apt astro for a woman meeting a life-warper of a man. She would also have  had Saturn on her Mercury in Capricorn at that date.

The January 28 birthday gives Cleopatra Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius and Venus in Pisces square both Jupiter and Neptune. Sun-Saturn is a visionary and driven leader who feels enormous responsibility from a young age & had to wield power. Venus square Jupiter and Neptune can totally go over the top for love, and what’s more wants to. I think it fits her. She apparently wrote textbooks on cosmetics and gynecology in between being a Queen, managing an Empire, becoming a legend and being immersed in this all-consuming love affair.

There is no asteroid named Cleopatra but there are some fantastic Ancient Egyptian themed asteroids, if you are interested. And no, i don’t really know what they mean in your chart but they’re fun to think about. For Astro-Fiends, at any rate. You can fling them into your chart using the Astrodienst Extended Chart Options feature;

Asteroid 42 is Isis (like the Egyptian Venus) and asteroid 2340 is Hathor (another version of Isis), asteroid 2436 is Hatshepsut – the only female Pharoah & whose rule was considered especially visionary & amazing. Asteroid 3199 is her granddaughter Nefertiti, she of the beautiful profile.  I am totally thrilled that i have Nefertiti conjunct my IC and Hatshepsut rising in Aquarius.
