Symphony Of Science

YOU may have seen this but i just discovered it & it’s so beautiful for the Chiron-Neptune Conjunction.

Carl Sagan was a multiple conjunct Scorpio:  Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Sun all in Scorpio AND a tight Mars Neptune conjunction in Virgo. So a mega-haute Neptunian, mining the mysteries of other worlds and alternative dimensions. As some of you know, not every Mars Neptune conjunction manifests so beautifully. In fact, especially in a man, it’s one of THE potentially gaga aspects to watch for. But not here.

Carl Sagan’s Uranus was in late Aries conjunct the Mars of Stephen Hawking (also featured in this clip) which is kinda cool. Hawking has Saturn conjunct Uranus – amazing blend of innovation with structure. V.appropriate for someone creating a whole new structure of science. AND, astro-fiends will find this interesting, Hawking has Moon-Neptune in Virgo.

So two amazing sci-brains with very strong Neptunian signatures all over their charts…Yes Uranus too but Neptune is strong for each of them. I love that. Pragmatic visionaries.

01AwcA9kYSfEYAeSgBAAAADPIMVwY-Yes, the Sun can be Void too…

That is, between major aspects before it moves into the next sign. So the Sun is now Void in Scorpio…it makes no major aspects before it moves into Sagittarius this weekend.

No need to flip – it’s mellow & metaphysical. But maybe be extra alert for elements of lower-Scorp behaviour so that you may modulate it. Haute Scorpio is the Phoenix. Lower Scorpio is the Scorpion, scuttling around the desert with the constant shits because their stinger is sandbitten or whatever, maybe because said Scorpion is seemingly unable to mate (or even flirt) without involving ’stingplay’.

I may have misread the Scorpion entry in my textbook but that IS the gist. Vengeful and kinky – if the Scorpions had internet access, they would definitely be on Google Earth with their stingers out, cross-referencing back to inland revenue and/or the doctors records they’d “Paid” their Ex-Ex to “acquire.” That’s LOW Scorpio I am talking about…

But you don’t want to go Scorping out when the Sun is Void there…

LS-00086-DThe Sun in Scorpio square Neptune in Aquarius = exposure of lies, revelation of delusions, illusions that evaporate & a pisser of a time to indulge blobby urges and ill-defined desires, let alone lie…But given the Dark Moon, it is also a brilliant Zen Zone in which to quietly contemplate one’s fantasies, art, dreams et al…Amazing emo insights into any addictions and/or whatever it is shrinks call dysfunctional fantasising. Unrealistic thinking?  That Saturn-Pluto square would seem to have sucked out some of my brain cells. And is anyone else having super-psych dreams???

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???

Look Smart

“JON SAVAGE: When were you born?

BJORK: November 21, 1965.

JS: On the cusp of Scorpio and Sagittarius.

B: My mum is heavily into these things, and apparently I’m as much Scorpio as one can be. To me, whether it means something or not – fuck that, I just love the symbolism of it. It’s pretty, like Greek and Nordic mythologies. I’m supposed to be run by Pluto. It’s like a fairy tale, it simplifies things.

JS: Is Nordic mythology similar to Greek?

B: It isn’t a copy, but it’s got the same characters. In mythology wherever you go, you’ve got the strong guy, the wise woman, the winners and the losers, the travelers and the domestic people. I always like the animals in mythology, like the ravens on Odin’s shoulders.

JS: Scorpio is all about life, death, and sex.

B: That doesn’t surprise me. My three fucking obsessions.

JS: Have you ever had your chart done?

B: My mum did it. I think she took me to all the occult creatures of Iceland, from the age of zero until I was eighteen, when I became a rebel anti-hippie. I got my fortune told and everything. I think I probably believe most of it, actually. I’ve got Pluto in a very important place, and that’s what I’m about. I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up. And kill it in the evening, which is a bit outrageous, but there you go.

JS: Hard work.

B: Heee! Well, maybe not every morning, but maybe twice a year I have to destroy everything. I’ve also got my moon in the twelfth house, in Scorpio, and my sun in Scorpio in the first house, and also Neptune. Then on my other half, my generational picture, I’ve got Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, and my midheaven is in conjunct with those two. Virgo is the sign of the nurse, so this means I was born to nurse my generation. I’m still fifty-fifty about whether this is true, but I was breast-fed on it.”

“The birthdate of the fictional character of James Bond 007, according to John Pearson in James Bond, the Authorized Biography of 007 is 11th November , 1920.”

And still, he looks So Hot for a guy who is 89!

So he has Sun, Moon (an Eclipse) Node and Mercury (retrograde) in Scorpio. Venus in Sagg so he’s drawn to the sexy, emancipated, globe-trotting untameable types BUT he’s got Mars in controlling Capricorn so he wants to tame them.  I LOVE the astro of fictional characters.

And as this Nerve mag article makes clear, Casino Royale is mega-Scorpionic.

“If you’ve never read a Bond novel, Casino Royale is something of a shock. For a start, Bond is more psychologically complex, almost sociopathic, than the one-dimensional version of the movies. He appears to harbor rape fantasies towards women, suggesting demons in his closet. In an early chapter we are casually informed that Bond “lit his seventieth cigarette of the day,” shortly before taking a cold shower and slipping into bed, where “his features relapsed into a taciturn mask, ironical, brutal, and cold.” He smokes, he drinks, he takes cold showers! This is old school Bond, a million miles from the fussy figure he has become on screen. Forewarned that he is going to be saddled with a female accomplice, he is appalled: “Women were for recreation. On a job, they got in the way and fogged things up with sex and hurt feelings and all the emotional baggage they carried around.” Inevitably the woman is bad news; his attempt to save her leads to a remarkably candid torture scene, in which Bond is forced to strip and have his genitals brutalized until he loses consciousness. The message could hardly be clearer: women rob men of their power.”

b_004Colette Calascione – Phoenix Moon

I love this! And from now on I am always going to call the Full Moon in Taurus the Phoenix Moon. The Sun is always in Scorpio, the Moon in Taurus opposes it, thus forcing practical manifestations of whichever transformation is in process. And, you know, there is always something.

The artist has her prints for sale, btw, and they are unreal…as in fuqing fab.

227559Pan – Georges Barbier

Oh well Virgoans are about to go absolutely ape. Not only is Saturn out of their sign so they can go nano-seconds at a time without guilting themselves, they’ve got asteroid Pan (asteroid number 4450) and Dionysus (asteroid number 3671) in their sign with NO Saturn to be a spoilsport banging on about carbs post 6pm, liver function, sane adult relationships and so on. Pan and Dionysus are the good time guys of the Zodiac.

What else…Ceres is close to the Sun in Scorpio…I so need to keep a closer eye on Ceres and in fact, it is one of my 2010 resolutions. Monitor Ceres.

Circe is in late Scorpio squaring Neptune – yay! Psycho-sexual flirtations and bewitchery…Venus, Sappho, Pallas & Saturn all lurk together in lovely Libra – v.good brainiac and thinking weekend if one is  not too distracted by all the pandemonium.  Lilith, Psyche and Pandora join the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding.  There is BIG emphasis on Libra and Aquarius this weekend – high minded relationships, free love and new ideas infusing into everything.

Ishtar is in early Saggo trine – ta-dah! – Mars in Leo.  Hot. The Queen and her Warrior. Primordial life force rules.

Okay so the situation this week is not so intense as the Mars junket that inspired Mars Options back in Mid-August. Do go back and read so that you can see my point.

But what we DO have is the Sun in Scorpio being squared by Mars in Leo. Sun-Mars alone is quite bolshie enough but in such primal, jungle and unforgiving signs? Tres ruthless.  Thankfully the sucky and mellow Venus-Jupiter trine + having to dirge through the dregs of Saturn in Virgo probably stops a lot of us going-for-it with  our Scorped up Sun-Mars square urges.  We can’t afford it! And Mars in Leo won’t do it without a good out fit and a spa to go and recover in after making his/her scene.

But there is still a choice…You can

(1) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Scorpio. I am talking whacked out diet, advanced astral tripping and conspiracy theorising for pleasure.

(2) Avoid anger and acting out via going Mega-Zen Leo. Think compulsive grooming, devising a new image, watching Out Of Africa with a box of chocolates, some gin and your monogrammed hankies to snivel into.

(3) Vibe Lower Scorp via some google-stalking, facebook cooking, obsessive tarot reading, scribbling stream of consciousness crap in your black book of shitlists/assorted bile and ordering online hoodoo remedies.

(4) Vibe Lower Leo via a quick blow-out, a snort  of hair-spray and off you strut to lecture your lowerlings on the superiority of thou,  hold forth on the crap state of the country because you are not running it and denounce religion – what would be the point unless YOU were the supreme deity. Then, when hubris has reached critical levels, text something that you only think is subtle as you’re so s-faced.

(5) Channel Venus-Jupiter and think beautiful, crystal-style thoughts of love and compassion towards even those peeps who truly annoy you. Because, after all, they are not so blessed nor nearly so clever, lucky and pretty as lovely one.

(6) Nothing because you are too busy devising better systems for living via the total Life Coach time management system that is Saturn in the last degrees of Virgo. Seriously, you keep tabs of time and output etc, crunch some numbers and VOILA: genius insights.You also know, because you are so fabulous, that Saturn is going to come BACK to these late degrees of Virgo in early 2010. So even though everything feels different and enlightened v.soon, cleave to the sense of urgency that is making you revamp systems now.

(7) Nothing as you are either an Aries in love with a Leo or a Leo in love with an Aries and you are able to take this extra heat and use it incognito.

And, as you are reading this, i am sure you have it already but if Mars in Leo is really giving you the shits (tired, perpetually pissed off, easily irritated, ready to scream etc) then do order Martian Bats.

“Beryl Markham was one of the most extraordinary of explorers. But she was also an emotionally deprived child and, as an adult, a serious outlaw of love. She died in 1986 at the age of 83; that year was the fiftieth anniversary of her historic solo flight across the Atlantic…Imperious, ravishingly beautiful and fluorescent with life, she charmed her way from one continent to another. Though men baulked at her flagrant promiscuity, it didn’t stop them being drawn to her. Her lovers included some of the most famous artists, adventurers and scoundrels of her day. But then, she herself was a scoundrel. She never let a lie stand in the way of what she desired…”

“She often rescued pilots who had crashed. Thinking they were doomed, they would see a plane land brilliantly in the bad terrain, then a willowy figure climb out, dressed like a Vogue model in the white silk blouse that was her trademark, pale trousers, a silk scarf at the neck, her hair coiffed and her fingernails carefully painted, handing them a flask of brandy and grinning.”

Diane Ackerman

She was a super-gusty hi-qi Sun in Scorpio with Venus, Mercury & North Node all in Libra, squared by Saturn & trined by Pluto in Gemini. Her Mars is early Virgo, sextiling her Sun and Neptune & squaring Lilith.  It’s hard to know sans birthtime, but that Mars of hers must surely do something else quite full-on. Her Moon’s in Leo. Though Saturn-Pluto in hardcore natal aspect is amazingly motivating & regenerative…

Oh and she has a crater on Venus named after her.

“Did you read Beryl Markham’s book, West With The Night? …She has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and nailing them together and sometimes making an okay pig pen. But this girl, who is to my knowledge very unpleasant and we might even say a high-grade bitch, can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers … it really is a bloody wonderful book.” Ernest Hemingway
