Which Sun Sign Is Most Likely To Covet The Huggable Pillow Of Light?

YES! What a genius idea!!! And just SO utterly perfect for a Dark Moonie weekend or for when retiring to bed amidst severe astro-weirding. It is apparently a little bit warm, very soft and squishy + the light is the sunlight (LED?) variety so one’s Seasonal Mood Disorder can be alleviated.

Which Sun Sign would covet it??  Well, I am ruling out the Fire Signs. Aries & Leo like to think that they themselves are the only source of light ever desired. Saggo has enough heat/energy to power any island continent, but tapping into it would require that the Saggo stay still long enough.

Gemini? YES! They love gadgets and are always on-trend.  Taurus? No. It would not go with their usually trad decor, though the texture might win them over. Kataka? YES!  Security, cuddliness, a night-light….What’s not to like?

Virgo? NO.  Too hard to clean. And it’s polyester.  Libra? No, like Taurus, it would probably clash with their v.clear idea of decor and harmony. Scorpio?  NO. Not sexy enough. Capricorn? No. Not utilitarian enough.

Aquarius? Yes – though they would want it to have even MORE features…Like the lights to flash in such a way that it stimulates Theta brain waves.  Pisces? Yes, once he/she has consulted their Feng Shui master.

Thoughts?

For Wimmyn Only; Which Sun Sign Gets The Worst P.M.T.?

820+lgWhich Sun Sign Gets the worst P.M.T???

It would be useful data, no?  Anecdotally, I reckon it’s Capricorn. And weirdly, what if this were to do with their sign being the opposite of that ruled by the Moon, our Cancer/Kataka?

Also, i have NO idea if this is true or not but ages ago a pagan, witchy-poo type whose speciality was something like menstrual correctness (invoke Hecate or Kali, use sea sponges or d.i.y. menstrual pads & pour the ’soak water’ on your deadly nightshade patch blah blah blah) said to me that it is the In Tune thing to bleed with the Dark Moon…Which means you are ovulating with the Full Moon and thus waxing/waning a la Gaia.

Thoughts? I personally have not had a grotty pmt episode for years – not since i started exercising properly & doing herbs et al. All that lingers is a mild ennui & propensity to clumsiness. Occasionally, if i have to deal with a total bitch, my cycle gets knocked out of whack, but that’s normal isn’t it?

Astro-Beauty: Hand-Cream

July 13, 2009 in Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 44 comments

It’s me Mars in Virgo & I know it. I thrash my hands. Hot water. Using my fingernails as “tools” to tear things open. Gardening bare-handed so i can feel the earth. Never putting sunblock on them.  If I could grow my nails sufficiently and had cause they’d even be weapons. Manicurists – on the rare occasion we meet – sigh. My points;

* The Clarins Hand Cream has saved me. It is weirdly effective & the only thing of theirs I have bought consistently. I love looking at their body products – their original fame-claim – but always end up thinking something along the lines of ‘get to the god-damned gym already.’ But this cream soaks in,  no greasy residue and somehow works right away. And  I have tried loads. The Aveda one is quite nice and smells like heaven but the name – Hand Relief - put me off, for some reason. The Dr Hauschka one is genius but the packaging cracks up so it oozes  out all over the place. Some of them work but leave a white gunky layer or reek so you can smell them a block away.

* Your thoughts on Holy Grail hand creams pls?  Crap ones? And which Sun Sign IS a hand-manicure-nails diva?  It’s too-easy but i nominate Gemini (they like to wave their hands around and gesticulate lots so may as well have reasonable hands/nails) & Libra + Taurus for being Venus ruled beauty addicts. Virgo for the committment to good grooming it implies & Pisces but sporadically. Pisces is acrylic nails one sek and a frequent-users card at the local nails-spa. The next they are sporting plain, scrubbed little puritan nails & decrying the use of toxic embalming chemicals in nail varnish. They’re letting their nails breathe.

Astro-Query: Which Slebs Do You Irrationally Loathe?

Years ago, a young woman got me to a relationship consult comparing her chart & that of her boyfriend. I kept thinking there was something really familiar about the boyfriend’s chart & birth details. Anyway it was Brad Pitt & she was not Jennifer A. Nor had she met Brad. Relationships with slebs can be tricky. There are the gorgeous teenage crushes that do the marvellous  job of allowing one to experience a variety of yearnings and emotions but leave one lots of space & time to oneself.

There are the delusional identifications with slebs we feel are “like us.” There are the ones whose work and glimpses of their actual life gleaned via media/twitter/whatever we admire. And then there are the madly irrational loathings of some celebrities. So much so that there is an involuntary  shudder at his/her face on a magazine cover, instant credibility afforded to even the most insane rumours (she is a man, he is an undead),  a sense of simpatico upon meeting someone who agrees with your conspiracy theory of X being over-rated and pure rage if a book you like is turned into a movie starting vile X.

Is it astrological? I mean, is a Sleb you loathe actually of a sign you do not get along with? I don’t really believe in Sun Sign compatibility as there are SO many different astro-factors, but for the sake of this question, I think we can go there.What is you Sun Sign, whom is the Sleb you irrationally loathe, what is his/her Sun Sign and why the loathing? Or is it just SOOOOO irrational you could never reveal?

Signs In Denial

cdtt_178He Says He’s Not Really A  Saggo

The other night, at kickboxing class, i was partnered with a Scorpio. When she told me her sign, she said “Oh well I’m a Scorpio but none of that stuff fits me. I don’t have any of the Scorpio traits.”  Then she proceeded to belt the shit out of me to the point that i had to seriously engage just to not be knocked over & express various relatively Scorpionic opinions. Not so much the actual opinions but their vehemence and tint of obession.

“…My boyfriend’s put on weight as he’s studying so hard. I can’t stand it. I won’t tolerate even a gram of extra fat. Not on me, not on him…I do 1000 crunches a day…I am locked into an endless power struggle with him. But i don’t care. Truth be told, I kind of like it. Relationships with no power dynamics bore me….And the sex is amazing…I am going to do whatever it takes to get on television this year…My co-worker is so infuriating. I am plotting to end his employment…” And all the while this intense, fixed gaze, like a Barn Owl.

She is, said the Scorpio Sex Academic, clearly a Scorpio-in-Denial. My friend Not-The-Typical Virgo is constantly decrying her lack of “real” Virgoan traits to the world even as she gently chides one for various sins against etiquette, puncutation & an orderly existence. I knew a Leo once who said she deplored ostentatious grooming & liked to be understated yet her ego was IMMENSE only she felt herself to have such natural chutzpah as to be above the actual plebian crap such as WASHING that most of us do to be attractive etc.

AQUARIANS are the worst offenders. And not only the men. They are prime candidates for “well none of that eccentric stuff fits me, I’m intensely normal” when they’re SO bats…Arieans are the least likely to be in denial about their Sun Sign traits – they love being the Alpha Sign enough to OWN it. And some peeps blur cusp lines (the boundary between two Sun Signs) just as people claim to be living in Salubrious Heights when really they’re down there in East Zemblanity…Not that there is anything innately wrong with any of the signs, but those people born WELL within a particular sign, then claiming that they’re “on the cusp…” like it means anything remind me of real estate agents blurring boundaries.

Which sign do you think is the most likely to be In Denial?

Sun Sign Query Du Jour Four: Strange Love

Lol, I actually have not drawn any especially strong conclusions from the previous Sun Sign Query Du Jours

I need a keen astrological intern to trawl through in search of firm conclusions.

Anyway, this query ought to bring up some coherent data…not! No, am sure it will.

Okay, leaving aside hideous and officially abusive etc relationships – WITH WHICH SUN SIGN DID YOU HAVE YOUR WEIRDEST LOVE AFFAIR AND/OR DATE?   I went out with a Gemini Screenplay writer who had a phobia of women’s orgasms. I am for real. A phobia. And he had National Geographic & social anthopology style articles to rationalise the fear.

Something to do with them serving no evolutionary purpose. I know. A shocker. To be fair to Gemini men, i think this one had severe Venus squares. Then again, i have never been out with a man who did NOT have Venus square Saturn, sigh. And MY Venus is so heavenly exalted; in Pisces, conjunct Chiron, 2nd house, trine Neptune, sextile Jupiter…

Anyway, will be interested to read thy comments – no names, no cussing & let’s see if a coherent theme develops.

Sun-Sign-Query-Du-Jour Two

acmaj211The Universe, From The Thoth Deck

And so now we zoom into a fortnight of Aqua-Aqua-Aqua. Mars on Jupiter, Venus sextile Jupiter. The North Node’s involved. Mercury moves bk into Aquarius. Avant-garde & expansive Jupiter, Neptune & Chiron are all moving toward a spectacular conjunction in late May. The area of your scope where Aquarius reigns is lighting up. Time to totally individuate.Venus in Aries goes back and forth pinging off all the planets in Aqua.

And, I don’t know if the last Sun-Sign-Query Du Jour actually yielded a firm result. I suppose i ought to go through & delineate some clear conclusions. Fixed signs – I thought – are definitely less forgiving than the Mutables. With Mutables it depends which hour of the day/phase of their endorphin-hormonal cycle you ask then.

Okay – this question ought to elicit some interesting results; Again, state your Sun Sign please. Or if you have your Sun in one sign but the Moon and several planets in another, feel free to state that.

ON WHAT OCCASIONS – IF EVER – ARE YOU NOSTALGIC???

My flip thoughts; Arieans are nostalgic about their youthful sporting prowess,  Taureans re great meals & comfy hotels, Geminis rarely ever but if they are it’s a random flash triggered by a snatch of music, Cancerians all the time and it extends to ancestor worship & psychometry, Leos re fabulous outfits and parties where they arrived late, outshining everyone else…their stage moments, should they be performers, obviously.

Virgoans pine for a sort of imaginary utopia of all bills paid, nothing in need of repair, them at their perfect weight, the house freshly painted, Librans get flash nostalgia re scent & like to moon over long-ago lovers for leisure but only the good-looking ones, Scorpios are nostalgic re sex & occult matters, Saggos re their trips, treks & unfettered backpacking days + being stoned on a beach, Capricorns for when their parents were young and they thought said parents were cool, also a lot of nostalgic pride re awards/trophies/prizes.

Aquarians live in the future – not the past & Pisceans are only nostalgic with a purpose – ie: they are delving into the past to try and extract some gem of an insight.

Why Am I No Longer An Aquarius?

January 14, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 11 comments

Dear Mystic,

I was born at  4.30am in England, on Feb 18th.1947  Although not normally too thick, I  still cannot understand why, after some fifty-odd years being quite happy as  an Aquarian, I am now – sometimes, but not always – listed as a Piscean.   Not that I have anything against Pisceans, but it has left me puzzled.  Do you have the time to explain, please?

The Now Extinct Aquarian.

Dear Now Extinct Aquarian,

You are born on the cusp of a sign. ie; right near the very end or beginning. Your Sun is in Aquarius but the reason some scopes list you as Pisces is thus. Every year the Sun changes signs at slightly different times. eg; people born on March 20 one year are a Pisces but the  same birthday the next year would render them an Aries Sun sign individual. Newspapers/scopes et al cannot obviously run an ephemeris to clarify this so they tend to either go for the most likely day the Sun is changing sign OR simply use the dates current that year.

It’s an issue guaranteed to elicit a few outraged e-mails a year. The worst I ever received was from a Scorpio furious that she had “become a Sagittarius without my consent.”  She loathed Saggos, found them really feckless and unsubtle, could not bear their candour and apparent refusal to face up to their responsibilities, fervent desire to be stoned on a great beach someplace rather than shopping with her and alleged inability to not hit on her already ridiculously up herself Aries sister. Yes, there was one particular Sagg gentleman who inspired her wrath.

And a friend of mine who discovered she was not a Capricorn, as she had always thought, but a Sagg said she found that more weird than realising she was gay. Her whole career strategy had been based around being an alpha-Cap, organisation woman.  Does this answer your question???
