Haute Aqua

February 4, 2010 in Birthdays by Mystic Medusa | 12 comments

Today is the birthday of Rosa Parks, the American Civil Rights legend, whose refusal to give up her seat for a white person was a catalyst for the human rights  movement. They had what basically amounted to bus-apartheid back in the 1950s & this Aquarius wasn’t putting up with it. That led to a boycotting of the bus system and so on…Voila, today America has President Obama. Amongst other “coloured” luminaries…

She’s actually a multiple conjunct Aquarius: Sun-Mercury-Moon-Uranus.  Try shutting that one up. The embodiment of the pragmatically visionary and ahead of their time haute Aquarius and a spooky-cute fact: Her Sun is bang-on the Aquarius Ascendent of President Obama.

Astro-Haiti

Rigaud Benoit (Haiti) – Erzulie, the Haitian Goddess of Love

God, how hellish is Haiti?  Obviously we are all sad about it and doing what we can to help, be it personally, via our government or both but if you are interested at all in the astrology of it, Eric Francis has a really good thing on it.

I actually hate looking at the astrology of when-shit-happens as it’s then too easy to become fearful & basically one would end up gibbering under the bed with some garlic & rose quartz everytime Saturn crept to within a nano-metre of Pluto or whatever. So I found Christopher Hitchens Slate article useful and fascinating. Hitchens is SUCH a total Aries bigmouth but a fantastic intellect: Sun-Mercury-Venus-Mars all tight together in Aries.

My astro thoughts on Haiti, for what it’s worth are v.simple. Given that it’s essentially a Saturn-Pluto square event & September 11 was a Saturn-Pluto event (then they were in opposition – now Saturn is squaring Pluto – it’s all part of a huge cycle that began with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction when Israel was created as a nation in the middle East) then you would have to think that beyond the hideous plight of the Haitian people & all the horror, is a further geopolitical crisis, lest the place sink into violent, evil anarchy & thus become home to some depravity which could expand outward seriously fuq with civilisation. eg; terrorist state etc.

SEE! This is why i don’t do astro-politics, even though people such as Eric Francis (above) do it so well and I admire them. Now I am freaking out. And I have so much invested in believing this Saturn-Pluto situation will be ultimately GOOD. And i truly do believe that. eg; that somehow the banking system and whatever it’s called when a third of the world are really fat and a third are starving will be fixed. Civilisation, liberty & equity for all.

Cash For Your Warhol, Warhol and Pluto

December 28, 2009 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 7 comments

If Andy Warhol were still with us, he would  have been about to have his Uranus Return and Mars Retro would have been all OVAH his Sun-Mercury in Leo Rising…I think he’d love this pic and the site from which it springs…CashForYourWarhol

So Pluto in Cap, of course…

And note Andy’s chart – Uranus trine Mercury (genius) and Saturn (enduring, social cut-thru to the max)…

And, if you have not already seen the Uranus Return post from a while back, do go there because the POEM is perfect for this Full Moon Eclipse coming.

And remember – i am not really here & blogging…I could not resist this but I am not back officially till Jan 4. Scopes are all bunging along as usual though…INCLUDING the year ahead Oestro-Medusa & Weekly Scopes up on Weds for subscribers btw…Go ahead and ask for a freebie trial if you like but i am NOT checking e-mails from Weds through till Monday, so soon yah… xx

Astro-Matthew McConaughey

Right. It is the Dark Moon & everyone has most likely had a gutsful of dealing with their tres deep Saturn Square Pluto style issues.  So I am going with a mega-bimbonic posting to distract us all.  There is, btw, loads of Saturn-Pluto material here for you to read.

What is wrong with Matthew McConaughey in this picture. He is SUCH a good looking guy – he is a Scorpio (Sun-Mercury) with Venus conjunct Jupiter in Libra (that is like the ultimate cosmic bonanza in the Beautiful Person stakes as Venus rules Libra and Jupiter amps anything it touches) and he’s got Gemini Rising, which i personally consider appealing as hell in men.

But in this picture he looks like a guy in the middle of a turgid marital drama. His expression reminds me of Not-Nice moments in my relationship history. Like he’s about to say, with a slightly whining snivel, something like “let’s not start that again, shall we?” He hasn’t got any Qi in the pic. Is he meant to look elegant??  Restrained. It’s weird. Especially when compared with  his vibe in the lower pic. And no, it’s not about age.

Right now, MM has got Neptune right on his Aquarius Midheaven - could it be causing him to make weird career choices? Judgement clouded? Strange advice? It’s exact in January – would be fab if it were a major, spell-binding movie role sort of a Neptune Transit. But perhaps he’ll come out as a time traveller or something.

Oh and his Moon is in Virgo – so there’s that bongo-playing-in-the-nude side of him but he probably is also obsessive about maintaining his bongo drums or whatever. BUT – with the above pic – what is that LOOK about???

Have A Gorgeous Weekend…

Happy New Moon & have a gorgeous weekend.

Enjoy the last hours of Venus in Leo for the year but fret not! The Love Goddess gets into Virgo any moment & trines Pluto; always a passionate or at least an insightful interlude.

And soon Mars is trouncing through Leo, putting some heat into dalliances or delicate beginnings/flirtations of the last three weeks or so.  Sun-Mercury is the highlight of Mercury Retrograde & you may get ’solutions’ to Mercurial mysteries as well as way more chance of Mercury Retrograde batso situations.

But the New Moon in Virgo conjunct Saturn is SMART.  The blog is back Monday midday…xxx

Astro-Silvio Berlusconi

The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a colourful character, non?

First there is his  womanising.

It seems to vibe really old school, like what I was reading in the biography of Lucretia Borgia about how her dad – the pope of the time- was renowned for his sexual magnetism, charm and virility. Not saying PM Belusconi is all that but the attitude…

Then there are his notorious yet hilarious gaffes – if he were not a tycoon & politician etc, he would be a fab comedian. His astro neatly signifies it all – he’s a Libran with Mercury Retrograde conjunct his Sun. So a keen brain – he is a songwriter as well – but one that would be prone to an almost surreal degree of faux pas & Freudian Slippage. Venus is in Libra sextile Mars in Leo & square Pluto – a hint of compulsion to his womanising…IN this picture, he makes me think of Sylvester the Cat longing for Tweetie.

Ultra-Leo Ann Calvello…

August 1, 2009 in Astro-Cliches by Mystic Medusa | 23 comments

Today is the birthday of ultra Leo Ann Calvello – an American Roller Derby athlete who kept skating into her 70s. Watch this clip & dare any Leos you know to out-Leo this lady; Her  nickname was the Lioness & she was renowned for her big mouth, brawling, competitive ego, wigs, weekly change of hair style & being apparently the worlds only professional athlete to be active for seven decades. She is seriously trippy & the clip above is wierdly inspirational…Sun/Mercury in Leo trined by Uranus in Aries.

Valkyrie For Astro-Fiends- A Super-Scorp

January 19, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-History, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 9 comments

The Tom Cruise movie of Valkyrie is, as I am sure you know, based on the German aristocrat Claus Von Stauffenberg, who was executed for conspiring to assasinate Hitler. He was amazingly brave & committed + apparently highly charismatic…I got a huge crush on him when studying the story at high school. This is from the Wiki…

“…Stauffenberg was aware that by German law he was about to commit high treason. He openly told young conspirator Axel von dem Bussche late 1943: “Gehen wir in medias res, ich betreibe mit allen mir zur Verfügung stehenden Mitteln den Hochverrat…” (“Let’s be blunt, I am committing high treason with all my might and means….”).[12] He justified his project to Bussche by reference to the right under natural law (“Naturrecht”) to defend millions of people’s lives from the criminal aggressions of Hitler (“Nothilfe”).

From the beginning of September 1943 until 21 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg was the driving force behind the plot. His resolve, his organizational abilities, and his radical revolutionary approach put an end to inactivity caused by doubts and long discussions on hitherto military virtues made obsolete or not by Hitler’s behavior….”

His chart (November 15 1907) is fascinating.

He is a Scorpio with his Sun conjunct Mercury trined by Saturn in Pisces and squared by Mars in idealistic Aquarius. Saturn squares Pluto in Gemini which trines the Mars.

And – get this O Astro-Fiends – Von Stauffenberg had Uranus conjunct the South Node and Neptune conjunct the North Node, in Cancer. Even when it became apparent that the plot would likely fail and all involved be executed, he cared desperately that the world know not all Germans supported the Nazi regime. He loved his mother country.
