I think Sagg would be the BEST sign to go camping with…Perpetually cheery, fab sense of direction and hard to phase.

Aries is also upbeat but wrecks it by wanting to pitch the tent on the highest peak visible and screaming ‘come on slackers’ at the fellow campers. But Aries will erect a sodding tent in the middle of a cyclone and heaven help any wild animal who gets between an Aries and a barbecue.

Taurus brings along one of those structured tents with carpets, ovens and a bar fridge. Which is great except it means Taurus requires staff and or “helpers.” There is also the risk of a fight when peeps with less salubrious facilities because they’re keeping-it-real try to sneak into Tent-Taurus for a quick toblerone cocktail. No-no-no.

Gemini & Pisces will have sat-nav, i-Pod and an internet connection for keeping in touch with where it’s at. They’ll talk a good game about being At One with nature and foraging for strange berries that they intend to make into ‘bush tucker’ but go totally off the whole idea about a third of the way into it. They need their fellow campers to be either great conversationalists or someone they fancy. They quite like it if they can hear the comforting sound of a busy road in the distance but will totally get out of any camping chores so that they can talk shit and go skinny-dipping.

Cancerians & Scorps will either not go at ALL or they will go in hardcore, with Swiss survival knives, special sleeping bags, manuals, a determination to actually hunt something/find treasure/walk 1000k in one day and probably some psych issues to work through. There will be deep chats around the fire at night and sensual appreciation of the stars, night-time noise etc. That’s even as Gem & Pisces lie gibbering in their tents, screaming at every squawk from an animal.

Leo & Libra will set out in the latest camping fashion, outdoorsy scents and with a muslin tent, thinking of Out Of Africa scenarios. Silver backed hairbrushes, 800 thread count organic sheets and bush-wattle body lotions are hard to lug around on long treks to camping grounds but they will do it. There may be a dramatic scene once either of them realises that the hard-core Scorp running the show is actually arcing up for a fistfight with the Aries, that there is a Pisces or Aquarius bitching because their tentmate won’t point the tent in the right direction for Feng Shui, due to the blizzard AND that there are  no special dietary requirements taken into account.

Aquarius would want to to whacked out rituals, wildcrafting, nude bushwalking and maybe add the mental mushrooms they foraged into the Arieans barbecue. Virgo and Capricorn would not even GO on this trip without the perameters being carefully delineated and agreed on (legally binding) beforehand. It’s too unstructured…

Hey guys, I am archiving & redoing the categories so they will be so fab and useful but i am reposting this now in the spirit of the Scorpio Moon…Imagine having Uranus in Leo square Pluto in Taurus…

“The palm for an adventurous life, however, and for an improbable romance in the spirit of the age, must surely go to Alexandra David-Néel. She was a doctrinaire feminist, theosophist and anarchist, who was an expert in oriental languages and a professional opera diva, having played Marguerite in Faust, among many other loud and leading roles.

She married a yachtsman in Tunis in 1904, before decamping eastwards to become the “spiritual sister” of the ruler of Sikkim, and, for a while, after her royal lover’s murder, a cave-dwelling anchoress. She emerged in the company of a young monk who became her “adopted son” and companion on a three-year journey to Lhasa in the guise of a beggar.

On returning to Paris, she occupied a tent outside the Musée Guimet. When she died at the age of 100 she was at work on simultaneous biographies of Jesus Christ and Mao Tse-tung.”

The Times

She was born on October 24 1868 – Sun at 1 degree of Scorpio, Uranus square Pluto & a great big honking Fire Trine;  Mars in Leo trine Jupiter & Neptune in Aries trine Saturn in Saggo. Moon in Aquarius & the Mars-Uranus in Leo squares Pluto in Taurus.

Happy Full Moon in Scorpio & have fun grokking the profound realizations. It must be exhausting doing this ALL the time – ie; being an actual Scorpio. No wonder they’re periodically bitched up to the teeth.  Try to scrawl down – in your book of shadows, dream diary, scheming pad, whatever – your rad insights.

And congrats if – over the last few days – you didn’t pull off some version of THIS:

I didn’t. But i have been reading me, DOING me & teetotal…Which helps. And Saturn is opposing my Sun which has Uranus on it. Talk about the bridle of sobriety on the horse of enthusiasm, lol.

But though it’s a bit intense, i think a Full Moon in Scorp as kicker to a Saturn-Uranus Opposition is quite an effective combo…for the aforementioned letting go etc. The next (and final in this series) Saturn-Uranus Opposition will be around a Full Moon in Aquarius.

WHO TIMES THESE THINGS???

Oh well, it’s all brilliant practice for when Uranus squares Pluto in a bit. No, that is not a joke.

Thank FuQ!

The very last 12 or whatever hours of a Dark Moon are always a drag but Aries Dark Moons are especially maddening – there is a lot of frustration & Qi-blocked Aries energy. So it just gets irritable.  Yick.

But quick – make some completely over the top resolutions to harness the power of this New Moon. Who says we can’t live on endorphins and hope?

When the Moon is New in Aries, you don’t just live to fight another day, you plan such a spectacular comeback that people will quake at your fabulousity.

You make huge To-Do lists in blood red ink (or maybe your own blood if you are strongly Plutonic/8th House/Scorpio) and scribble affirmations on every available surface.

You turn onto whatever motivation tricks work. You start to think about those peeps who sleep four hours a night and somehow outdo everyone else.  You vow to purely awesome and overcome all challenges; victorious. It’s a tres Aries concept and the New Moon in Aries sextile Chiron (in mythology he trained warriors to be helpful) is the perfect moment for it.

Lindsay Lohan: …You know, I was with this guy Jerry Inzerillo recently, who was running the whole Atlantis [The Palm resort opening celebration] in Dubai. And when I saw him, he started complimenting me, telling me how I reminded him of these other actresses. I literally just sat there . . . He was just saying these really nice things to me that people don’t really ever say, and I started crying. I was like, “Oh, my God, I’m so sorry that I’m crying!” But I was just so emotional about it . . . I’m a Cancer, which means I’m maternal and emotional. So in relationships I’m screwed.

Lauren Hutton: I’m a Scorpio with Cancer rising. I don’t really know what that means.

Lindsay Lohan:  [laughs] I don’t know what it means either! I just know that Scorpio is a little more dangerous than Cancer, but that could actually be really balancing.

I’m too Saturn-ed out to do it tonight but i’m thinking he found it in the wash and…then what?  I mean clearly this has to do with a Scorpio so the potential for drama is fairly intense.

I tend to ascribe black painted walls to Scorpio and the custom of copious reading  in the loo to Pisces. But I could be wrong. To whom do you think this lavatory belongs?  And what books/magazines is this character so fond of perusing whilst excreting?  And what is that mandala thing above the toilet? Why is there no spare roll of paper on the thingie? OH MY GOD. Is that what all those magazines are for?  Shit. I think this might be a Sagittarius situation…Thoughts?

HAUTE ARIES IS:

SELF-ACTUALIZING: Long before it was fashionable, like even in the Dark Ages, Arieans would wake up way too early and whilst looking at a reflection of themselves in a lake, pond or mirror, screech “every day in every way, i get better and better.” This lot are real doers. They believe in showing – not telling.

SIMPLE: The archetypal Aries is proud to be shallow. They think being profound is a defence mechanism for the slow-brained or less attractive of the human species. Basically, Ariean life principles go like this: they believe only boring people get bored and that people won’t want to know you if you are gloomy. Also, you should not tell tales. And, you can cheer yourself up by doing something for somebody else.  Pitching in for charity will cure any case of boredom, depression or, as Aries call it, grizzling.  They are also meritocratic. The Ramzilla ethos is to admire achievement, without envy or concern of the achievers, race, religion, gender or social background.

HONEST: Arieans are direct and gallant and they get upset by caddish conduct. They think all lies are black. If your Aries doesn’t promise to call for a date, they say “I won’t call unless I get this drunk again.” Or “have a great life.” Even a simple piece of social bullshit such as “I’d love you to stay for dinner but…” does not trip lightly off the Aries tongue. They feel sinister and treacherous for telling even the teensiest fib and so they don’t. But beware, Aries is adept at spotting a liar. There is but one exception to the Ariean automatic truth detecting mechanism. They will accept the most outrageous falsehood if it is flattering enough to them.

COMPETENT: Results are Ramzilla’s raison d’etre. Aries is as Aries does. While even the most functional Arieans are up themselves to an awesome degree, they are given to belittling their genuine accomplishments. An Aries will storm out in a huff if you are not garrulous enough about their new haircut or latest victory over a hangnail. Then they’ll turn around and be too embarrassed to talk about a neighbourhood social justice coup or winning a Nobel peace prize. “It was nothing,” they shrug, as they wander back  into the house, having climbed Mt Everest backward or whatever. As Bach said, “all one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.”

POSITIVE: Ramzilla rocks. Even people who literally can’t bear to be in the same room as an Aries will testify to their inspirational optimism. Their glass is always half-full and they want yours to be too. Arieans like their gossip to be life-enhancing. They do not partake in what the Germans call Schadenfreude – malicious glee in another’s misfortune. It’s partly because they are superstitious and don’t want to “catch” the ill wind, a bit because they’re bored about news that is not about themselves but mostly, it’s due to chirpy goodwill toward humankind.

BRAVE: Arieans are rugged idealists. Stress doesn’t stress them. They will not accept any form of inertia, be it corruption, poor service or a non-adoring spouse. Ramzilla revels in the fact that they employ the government, that marriage is an adventure and that life is too good to be subtle. Aries is the person who, not having exercised for a year, suddenly enters a triathlon. When Arieans get fed up with their jobs or a client, they sack themselves before any form of disrespect (their worst nightmare) can take place.

“I have been uncompromising, peppery, intractable, monomanical, tactless, volatile and, at times, disagreeable.”  Bette Davis.

LOW ARIES IS:

ARGUEMENTATIVE: When Arieans argue, they fantasize about being in a courtroom where the audience is gasping in awe at the power of their oratory. You may think the issue is a simple dispute but in the megalomaniacal mind of Aries they are performing in front of an invisible jury made up of reasonable men and women quite unlike you. An Aries would cheerily take on “the earth is flat” side of a debate and win. Entering into an argument with an Aries is ill-advised because they enjoy the sound of their own rant – it really is music to their  hoary little ears.

EGOMANIACAL: Self-realization? Arieans realized themselves at birth; it’s everyone else who has to realize them. They live in flux between a sense of grandiose brilliance and a fear of never achieving their total potential. You say ‘self-help’ – they think ‘learning to accept my own superiority’. Let’s say you are trying to discuss your tennis elbow problem with Aries. They’ll snap “I don’t get tennis elbow. I never get that sort of thing. Never have – even though I am a fantastic player with a killer serve…”

HYPER-COMPETITIVE: Arieans hotly deny this because, of course, in their mind there IS no competition. But Ramzilla is competitive in the same way that a fish takes up swimming. All of them are perfectly capable of standing in front of Michelangelo’s David and announcing that their physique is better. Actually, a trip to any art gallery with an Aries can be challenging as they have very clear confidence in their innate artistic talents.  So, while everyone else is meandering around commenting in quiet murmurs, the Aries boom suddenly resounds throughout the room: “Good grief! Are they mad? I could knock up something better than that with house paint and a roller.”

CRAZY:  Arieans are crazy at work, crazy in the sack and ego-crazed to boot. It’s so lucky that sanity is relative. It’s not the Scorpio conspiracy-theory madness nor even the Piscean stream of consciousness ‘I am avant-garde so don’t question my infidelity” rave. People forced to spend more than 20 minutes with Aries start thinking about tranquilizer guns fired into the meat of the thigh. Would it stop the rant? Aries doesn’t get this. They look over and see someone clenching their jaw with glazed over eyes and assume that the person is battling a gigantic crush on the Aries. They think subtlety is for suckers: over-reaction is not a concept recognized by Ramzilla. Any Aries reaction is always appropriate, you understand.

And this is like SUCH a Scorpionic look from ultra-Scorp Anna Wintour.  She’s prob pissed off at all the Virgoans Of Fashion. The girl next to her looks as if she is in intense, silent prayer.
