This picture reminds me of my friend the Scorpio Sex Academic.  Scorps live intensely. She’s busy racing between training to be a Shaman, lecturing on sexual politics, pulling on Adult Friend Finder (semi-eligible ones too, by some weird miracle), perfecting chakra awakening Khundalini yoga poses & being quite a supportive friend.  That’s our Scorp.

But you don’t need to be an actual Sun Sign Scorpio to be Plutonic.  Pluto in close aspect (I am just going to stay with the conjunction for today – that means ‘right next to’ aka conjoined) to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars makes you into a super-Plutonic person. Even if you have NO Scorpio in your chart whatsoever, a Pluto close to one of these “inner” points makes you mega-Scorpionic.

We use the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars everyday…I mean, they’re considered ‘everyday’ archetypes. To madly sum it up, the Sun = Ego, Moon = Emotions, Mercury = Mind, Venus = Love and Mars = Energy…Please, that’s definitions dumbed way down so as not to bang on for hours.

Pluto conjunct any of these points makes you almost beyond Scorpio. Pluto intensifies whatever it touches. So if you have, say, Pluto conjunct Moon – even in Libra, like Angelina Jolie – your Moon is Plutonified. Look at her depth of intensity in relationships & mothering, for a start. Lance Armstrong is the classic Sun-Pluto example. Not only does he make a spectacular recovery from a life threatening illness, he goes gangbusters with the metamorphosis and becomes a world-class athlete.

So, do you have Pluto conjunct any of the inner planets??? Mine is conjunct Mars which is interesting. Fairly ruthless when it comes to cutting people off, i’m afraid. If you can avoid the destructive or obsessive side of Pluto, tapping into the Plutonic energy gives one enormous regenerative energy.

Remember, if Pluto is close to anything, it’s Scorped up as hell.

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.

I was reading an article about ladies who wear leopardskin prints the other day & it quoted the editor of Australian Vogue as saying she – as some woman do – considered it to be a neutral. Like beige. I’m blonde, tall & with boobage so if i wear leopard print, it looks ho not haute but i’m interested in the woman who do. Scorpios – surely. But the only one i can think of who is always rocking around in it is Kate Moss….The Capricorn…

This fits beautifully into the old myths that have the followers of Dionysus – God of Wine, Pleasure & Debauchery wearing leopard as a homage to him. I mean, if Kate is not a follower of Dionysus then who the hell is?

Should you be having Dionysian urges this week, the asteroid (3671 if you want to go bats looking it up on Astrodienst) is near the Sun in Leo…Yes, something else to blame apart from the Mars-Neptune trine…Anyway, whom do you think favours leopard print & which sign – would you also consider yourself/these women to be followers of Dionysus?

Or is there some thunderingly political-correctness thing that i am missing here…in a world where some leopards are endangered, is it not tacky to wear even faux leopard??

DO admit that even when you attempt to look nonchalant, you just can’t pull it off, so to speak…It’s true. Scorpio people can never ever work as extras in movies because they always look like they are up to something, even when just sitting innocently in the background of a scene and thus mislead the audience into thinking something is happening that is not. I  don’t even think that you’re so great at spying…Sleuthing and investigative stuff – yes – but it’s not especially discreet…is it. That would be our Virgo, observational and all.

BUT these are factoids gleaned from Scorps I know and whom have written into me…I am keen to discover if they fit ALL Scorpios…

Is it true that you tend to buy other peeps knives as a gift? Penknife, kitchen knives, cutlery, ceremonial sword you picked up h.k.w…?

Is it true that if you say “I am a Scorpio” to someone,  his/her eyes immediately drop to your crotch?

Is it true that you cannot “consume” marital aids/sex toys as you tend to break them?

Is it true that all Scorps have a Scorpio ancestor who visits them from the other-world at some point in early life?

Is it true that nearly all Scorpios love psychotherapy to the point that they will make it a key aspect of their lives?

Is it true that psychics – for unknown reasons – find it amazingly easy to “read” for all Scorpios?

By frenemies, I don’t mean that teen-girl kind of friendship where you have a mate but you secretly hate one another and conspire to give her bad hair advice. I mean when a once close-friend becomes a kind of casual enemy or you just simply break up but it’s never addressed. In actual love relationships, it has to be thrashed out. And there’s always sex & maybe children or shared $$$ to ensure some sort of dialogue. But with friends, the calls just get further & further apart and the must-do-lunches more poignantly ludicrous.

Apart from the obvious divisive factors – one person doing smug married shite and the other crazy-bats single nympho shite -  my theory is that you get waves of friends of one particular sign or astro-signature at certain phases in your life. I had a whole lot of Virgo friends who went during my (still ongoing) Uranus-Venus transit & now I have Scorpios. Or they’ve got Scorp Rising. I only just realised: My Life In The Bush of Scorpions.

So, do you agree with the phases of friends & how do you know when a friendship is kaput? Which sign makes the worst ex-friend? ie’ Bitchiest, most judgemental and, weirdly, still sorta stuck in whatever was going on back in the day?

Allenamento Francia

This is Raymond Domenech – the French footie boss who famously denounced Scorpios & Leos last year; saying he would not have a Scorpio near his team and that he knows Leos will always do something stupid just to show off. He openly admits to believing in reincarnation and using the Tarot – as well as astrology – to figure out the personalities of his players. I don’t particularly follow soccer but obviously have to analyze the French soccer team when it is announced any moment.

From memory, i think last year he favoured Aquarians – just like himself, lol. Yes, he’s another Aquarian man. And he’s got Moon, Mercury and Venus in Sagg – outspoken for sure…He’s an ex-international player himself and his MARS IS IN SCORPIO…It may be a fair enough point to say Leos are not really team players but why-why-why the dislike of Scorps?  You’d think he would see in them some sort of ruthless intense determination to score, non? Or is it the very intensity he is scared of in his own Mars???  I do feel soz for some young & gifted player, having done all the training in the world but having to sit in front of Raymond with his Tarot pack out.

hygeia

Right. Time to invoke Hygeia – the Greek Goddess of health, from whence we get the word hygiene. I know i have already said that weeks ago but this is for the benefit of those who may not know. Having raved on a bit re retro-Venus (ex-lovers) and Mars-Neptune (dipsomania) i went to the gym for the 2nd time in a day & ran straight into the Uranian, bunging on his perfect boyfriend act. Oh the exquisite what-ifs. So then got lured straight to pub by the Aries Bombshell who wanted to do feminist ranting. Now am doing Wagonista or maybe even The Arnie Diet & this Scorpio who e-mailed me is too!

Dear Mystic Medusa.

Shock horror, this double Scorp has a bit of a fondness (read weakness) for for delicious mind numbing alcohol.
I have a bit of a plan I have been working on to get on top of it all (I’m pretty ordinary with my astrology – but the list making could be an influence of my meticulous moon in Virgo?)  but any advice/ tips/ helpful astro currents that you could offer would be greatly appreciated

It is a five point daily plan Ive nutted out actually (five being symbolic, not that i’ve balanced them out elementally properly or anything though):

1. SOC (stream of consciousness) writing, getting the mind-junk out there…
2. 1 Hr Walk. Really does wonders, expands my world, changes my perception and possibly eats up fight/flight hormones from challenging day…
3. Yoga(ha!), meditation or relaxation. (at least attempting to) centre, become still, hear the inner voice…
4. Water – drink lots and lots, atleast 2L. My mind is less spaz with h20 added…
5. Create/ study – to distract and feed the soul…

Im thinking of things to do on a more esoteric level too. Mirror magic (self love), waxing/ dark moon firey banishments…

This could all possibly be null and void because Im celebrating buying my plane tickets to Peru with a last drink atm. But Im determined to get myself together so I’m fully present when I hike to Machu Picchu in September/October.

I hope you and yours are doing well,

Blessings
The Double Scorpio

Hmm. I know someone who did the first day of that with a terrible hangover and argued horribly with his boyfriend nearly the whole way. Okay well I am doing Wagonista too and frankly – the looming Full Moon, Mars-Neptune nonsense is a VERY good time to stay lucid. I mean, if i still had his number & had not altered my phone  number, i would have been with the Uranian last night. Lucidity is in.  Jupiter belting toward Neptune is also a full on for excess astro-signature. I mean, it is fab but very easy to go Over The Top with Neptunian substances.  My tip: Other than this being well timed, maybe move your bed into the health direction?? And  pray to Hygeia! Also amethyst is supposed to (somehow) support soberiety. Happy Wagonista!  I haven’t time to do the Arnie diet right now which is a pity as it is the most effective health regime EVER.

So if you want to go Wagonista with Double Scorpio and i – we will whinge and/or boast in the comments stream.

Oh and it ought to be easy for me as the Leo-Rising-Aquarian-Rugger-Stud is not really a big drinker. I know. It does not seem to go with being ex-league player. But they all very body conscious & Leo-Rising-Rugger-Stud is appalled by the kilojoules in grog. He & his ex-league mates are not metrosexual at ALL & indeed i know now a whole lot of terminology i did not know before but they swap ideas for salads, ensure they have lean protein every meal, freak out at trans-fats or even the ghee in indian food & give each other their best contacts for osteos, botox doctors, vitamin shots etc. Where-as the U could undo anyone’s diet scheme and thought being Wagonista some sort of insult to his bolshevik sensitivities.

OH and thingie. Milk Thistle. As liver tonic.
