Astro Megan Fox

February 16, 2010 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 91 comments

Another Megan Fox interview and yes, another mini-rave re how she doesn’t like/trust/feel liked by other women. It’s like her common schtick now.

It is, i must say, a surprise to see her on the cover of W.  I would not have thought her, um, iconic enough. Cue delicate Anglican-Libran shudder.

Anyway, as she is always on about hating/being disliked by/whatever her fellow females, I squizzed at her chart.

Two Observations:

She has Sun in Taurus square Moon in Leo. I was looking at someone’s chart in January who also claimed to despise her fellow femmes (because they all such jealous, backstabbing bitches etc etc) and she also had Sun Square Moon…Moon signifies women in your life. Could there be something to this??? Or do some women just biologically hate their own gender for cuckoo hormonal reasons?

Her Venus in Gemini opposes Uranus and square Jupiter. Venus-Uranus is so often a lesbian indicator, no? It’s got that vibe to it. Maybe the disdain for the wimmyn is all a massive (Jupiter) reaction formation?

Hands up who’s got a Sun-Moon square and hates her own gender? Gents, you can take the Sun-Mars square as your study point.

Cindy McCain’s Neptune Transit

January 21, 2010 in Astro TrendWatch by Mystic Medusa | 22 comments

Well I think it’s kinda cool that Cindy McCain, an iconic right wing figure whose husband is officially anti-gay-marriage, can come out so blatantly in support of NOH8 - a group promoting the rights of gay people to be married if they want to.  There are heaps of Republican women who’d look to her as their WASPy role model & think that if Cindy says something is okay, than maybe it just is?

Apart from being Mrs McCain, she’s a Taurean Heiress & amateur pilot…her Taurus Sun is currently being squared by Neptune and Chiron but it’s the Neptune mind-bender that’ll go on the longest. It is ongoing for two years from now and it hasn’t even kicked in properly yet. Neptune-Sun can dissolve long-held rigidity & definitely be an awakening of compassion, new values and psychic powers.

I reckon she’s going to really go with this in a fantastic way. Neptune-Sun can mean you lose yourself but she also has Pluto coming up on her Capricorn Mars: Guess who’s empowering herself and experiencing a primal, almost libidinal urge to regenerate and use her powers? It’s a bit of a strain on the key relationship in her life, obviously. Her husband is  20 years older than her & may not like the idea of a political wife going off-agenda and in full media view. This is clearly a defiant gesture. Oh and he’s a Virgo.

Oh well, if anything happened to the marriage as a result of this, she’s clearly v.eligible. She’s looking good and her $300 million + personal fortune is from a beer company.  Whilst I am on my political bingle – there is another American Republican – Aquarius, female and who ran with Cindy’s hubby in the last election that Obama won and SHE is vehemently against gay marriage. I reckon Palin would be going ape at this…

Happy Birthday Tamara de Lempicka

“Born in 1898 to Russian aristocrats, Tamara de Lempicka escaped the Bolsheviks by exhanging her body for freedom, dramatically beginning a sexual career that included most of the influential men and women she painted….” I’ve got Laura Claridge’s Tamara de Lempicka – A Life Of Deco And Decadence & it’s FUN. The Wiki is a quick taste of this glam & vital self-made artist. Her Sun is in Taurus, obviously & at 25 degrees, but what’s stands out in her chart is a great big conjunction in Gemini; Pluto, Venus, Pallas, Neptune & Lilith. Total free spirit & clearly immune to all the tut-tuttings of her time. She’s always been a big Muse to Madonna & many, many others.

Astro-Weirding Alert

May 11, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 10 comments

Scheduled in my diary for next weekend: Kickboxing class, Relationship Exorcist, Kundalini Yoga, Buy mugwort seedlings.

The Relationship Exorcist was recommended by my Piscean Actress friend. She doesn’t have any contact details. I am to walk up the main street of Leichhardt (the Italian quarter of Sydney) and look to the lefthand side. The Relationship Exorcist is named Caterina and she may or may not have a pink sign. Apparently she is very good.

The Kundalini  Yoga freaks me as everyone I know who has been doing it has visions & major releases/insights. Jung thought it too powerful & that it could send some people completely cuckoo. So next week I may be chanelling well-intended but hard-to-decipher alternative dimension gibberish for you. Or writing in Sanskrit as the only lingo pure enough for my wide-open chakras.

Until May 22 – when the Sun skips into Gemini & the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding (Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in tight orb together) begins – there are shitloads of fixed squares. Fixed squares are tricky to deal with – lots of tension but it seems harder to resolve than the more action producing mutable & cardinal squares. Truculence & power-tripping is rife + they seem to trigger already angry/resentful people. It’s only a few days but just be aware of it…Stay safe & of the light. Try to dance around/ glide away from control dramas or at least be aware when they’re going on. Take the haute road.

I did an extended rave re this in the Daily Mystic but you work this astro-vibe best by using it to make powerful internal shifts of attitude yourself & think Dignity/Resilience.

Happy Birthday Lee Miller!

Today is the birthday of Lee Miller, the Vogue covermodel turned intern & Muse to peeps such as Man Ray & Jean Cocteau to surrealist photographer and then genius photojournalist. Her early life was horrid. She was raped by a family friend and contracted a vile venereal disease:  “I looked like an angel but I was a fiend inside.”  She was one of the first photographers to document the horrors of the concentration camps & reveal them to the outside world.

This famous pic is of her in Hitler’s bathtub, after just such a harrowing journey.

The Carolyn Burke bio is brill & the book by her son, Anthony Penrose is sooo moving.  He says he did not understand the totality of her until after her not-so-easy demise. Heaps of her pics are at the Lee Miller virtual archive.

Her astro for Astro-Fiends & according to the magnificent new Astro DataBank app which i will link to properly) is here;

Libra Rising – the beauty & the free lover, classic. Mars-Uranus the iconoclast in Capricorn and a Grand Trine with the Sun in Taurus & Moon in Virgo. Venus-Saturn in Pisces in the 6th (health) square Pluto in Gemini…that awful childhood health/rape curse. Mercury in Aries right on her Dsc so a big-mouth urge to rant off & tell her truth powerfully opposing the Libra Rising looks & desire for harmony. Jupiter conjunct Neptune (just like is gonna happen soon in late May!) in the sign of Kataka (Cancer) on the Midheaven aka career point so a true visionary & destined to influence/alter our collective culture and the Anima Mundi…aka World Soul.

Grace Jones – Taurus with Moon in Scorpio…& just had her 2nd saturn return

“Your acting’s a drag
It’s OK on TV cause you can turn it off
But don’t try me.”

Grace Jones: Taurus, With Moon in Scorpio…

“…Grace laughs and gestures at Brendan, who’s joined us, to give her one of his cigarettes. ‘You can’t smoke in here,’ he says. ‘Shut the door,’ she demands. ‘I’ll smoke out the window.’ The window actually gives out on to another part of the restaurant. Not that that is going to stop Grace. ‘What are they going to do? Arrest me? Put me in jail?’ The waiter comes in and gets even more crotchety, but Grace waves him away, declaring that it’s not a cigarette, it’s incense and could he fermez la porte when he leaves. She finishes off the bottle of red wine and orders a double sambuca. And things start going haywire. Grace notices the full moon, up above. ‘My moon is in Scorpio,’ she declares. ‘I’m feeling horny. Be careful.’ Brendan decides that she’s had enough of the interview….”

George & Fatima Up A Tree?

February 16, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-Men, Astro-Passages, Celeb Fluffery, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 16 comments

george-clooney-on-esquire-cover-picture7

Have just been reading this fantastic Telegraph article re the possible romance between George Clooney & Fatima Bhutto.

“…Fresh from an ill-fated entanglement with a Las Vegas cocktail waitress, George Clooney, Hollywood’s Armani-suited Renaissance Man-on-call, is reported to have fallen for 26-year-old Fatima Bhutto, the new star of Pakistan’s greatest political dynasty. Across the sub-continent the excitement spread like Valentine’s Weekend wildfire. And why not? George is radical, Fatima is chic. It has to work out this time….”

Oddly enough, having adored Clooney in a number of movies (Intolerable Cruelty, Oceans 11, Three Kings & even One Fine Day) I actually got a bit sick of the sight of him last year. Prob just over-exposure, a bit like every mag having Kate Hudson on the cover at the moment and more or less the same article re her fabulosity.  But GC is incredible & apart from her being gorgeous & about 20 years younger than him, Ms Bhutto – the neice of Benazir – would seem to be a really interesting choice of would-be girlfriend for him. She, apparently, is not so keen because of the age gap & her fairly intense concerns in Pakistan.

And, looking at the astro between them, i wondered if she had an astrologer run the charts & then flipped. I mean really. With no time of birth for her (May 29 1982) it’s hard to be definitive about this but still…A few highlights. Or maybe lowlights.

George Clooney is a Taurus (Sun conjunct Mercury) with Pisces Rising and Moon-Saturn in Capricorn. That Moon-Saturn is a very sombre position & despite his debonair aura, that denotes a person who is very careful/conservative with giving his heart & most likely with good reason. Early hurt etc etc.Ms Bhutto is an early Gemini with Moon in Leo & we don’t know the rising due to no time. Her Venus in Aries squares (challenging) his sensitive Moon-Saturn in Capricorn combo. Her Pluto in Libra squares that Moon-Saturn in Capricorn combo. Both have Venus in Aries but not conjunct.

So that’s like a kind of similarity. But then her Saturn in Libra opposes his Venus. Her Jupiter squares his Jupiter. Her Sun squares his Chiron. Oh – a nice one – her Sun in Gemini trines his Jupiter in Aquarius. Her Uranus squares his Pisces Ascendent. Her Sun squares his Pisces Ascendent. This is a LOT of squares – ie; challenges -  & that is just from a cursory glance.

Some squares between charts are good. They are all about growth. And you certainly know when the other person’s in the room. But too many makes for just old-fashioned they-get-on-your-nerves-ishness. Of course, if they did manage to overcome some of the obstacles between them, doesn’t this mean George Clooney could one day be first “lady” of Pakistan? Or first man? And would it help or hinder U.S-Pakistani relations?

Oh and note that Saturn has just entered George Clooney’s 7th house for the first time in 29 years. So he is suddenly incapable of casual relationships. It would have to either be a significant partnership (apparently with some geopolitical impact as well, as he is such an  O.T.T. show-off with his cute little Mars at Zero degrees of Leo) or nothing-at-all. She is his Saturn-in-the-7th house manifestation. And maybe the Saturnine lesson would be a woman he cannot have…I am not generally judgemental re age gaps but i do think it is easier if both parties are either pre or post Saturn Return. It makes SUCH a difference.

Then again, she is having her Saturn Return in 2011 & with Saturn opposing her natal Venus shortly thereafter, reflecting a challenging & intense relationship most likely with an older person.
