Red Dust

So an apocalyptic dust storm has settled over Sydney. It’s less dramatic now but when i awoke – at 5am – the sky was bright orange and an eerie wind was obviously freaking out the birds. Plus everything smelt strongly of lemon eucalypt because of all the smashed berries or something.

The first thing i thought; Surely Sun square Pluto couldn’t be THAT full-on. I mean, what did i miss?  Secondly; I am gonna be inundated with e-mails from Mayan End-of-Worlders groupies.  But lo & behold, it’s all completely inexplicable & carwash businesses are going to be going gangbusters for weeks. Every car around looks like it’s driven through desert storm.

It’s weird though – i feel like the atmospheric pressure is way low. I SO need a barometer. Does anyone know anything about them??? I think they are going to be the essential Pluto in Capricorn accessory. Gorge design and all,  not like the old style ornate Victorian ones…I get into a particularly tetchy and yet spacie mood whenever the atmospheric pressure drops – is it  just me??? And did any of you Sydney peeps wake with the orange sky/weird winds and flip mildly?

Also I have decided to invent a new – very mild – personality disorder and see if it takes off.  More on THAT soon. It will be a collaborative effort.

O how the atmosphere is intense with Pluto, Saturn, Uranus et al…Still Venus IS IN LEO and opposing (this is good and easy) Jupiter by the end of the week. This is good for adding a dipsomaniac, super-vain, self-obessive and art-fiend style vibe to the Pluto Direct dirge and end-of-era shite. Seriously.

So, in all honouring of our ability to be shallow when it is needed to balance the more sombre tones of the astro-situation, please share Hot Leo Hair Tips & do Leos honestly have the hottest hair?  I have said it before and I say it now: I think the cruel irony is that Aquarius, the opposite sign to Leo and their arch-rival always have better hair.

My Hot Leo Hair Tips: Just (for when you are in Sydney) my Psychic Gemini Hairdresser – Shaz at Glitterbox 9550-2700 & Reiki-oozing acupuncturist Melinda (9565-2793) and once i tried some really naff looking vitamins called something like Hairdressers Formula & they made it seem to grow visibly. Problem: Hair on legs etc ALSO responsive to the neuropeptides or whatever was in them.

“Dear Mystic,

Is there an astro for bad hair karma? I’ve just had the fourth crap hair cut this year:
1. Nervous, shaky apprentice fries my hair (and himself!) by over-straightening to get a more precise cut. My hair is straight!
2. What was to be a ‘long bob’ to the shoulders (to clean up fried ends) ended up as an Austrian mullet!!! I’m beginning to suspect ‘Bruno’ is a documentary.
3. Ok, Three did an decent job but it didn’t improve the ‘look’ much.
4. Now, who says ‘Ok, you’re trying to grow it long. That’s difficult’ and then goes an cuts three months growth off???!?!?!?

Have Venus in Leo. Also wondering if Mercury owns scissors……

Cheers,

The Bad-Haired Virgo “

Dear Bad-Haired Virgo,

Oh how I sympathise. Especially hell for Venus in Leo. First of all, in  my Astroscape Books (the 2009 one and the 2010 one which is on sale from next Tues – see link to the left) I detail the GOOD Hair Moons and the BAD Hair Moons. You basically only get it trimmed during a waxing Moon if you want it to grow and get yourself waxed during the moonwane to discourage hair growth. I had a hell hair year a few years ago when this idiot both razor cut it (my hair is totally fine like a babies) and then bleached the shit out of it. I actually got really used to people asking what had happened to my hair and so now, when  people say NICE things about my hair, my eyes well up with tears. I know. This sounds really trivial but still.

Anyway, if you are in Sydney, e-mail me for my hairdressers details – she not only listens – she is psychic and affordable too. Obey the Hair Moon rules & maybe your Venus in Leo is being squared by Neptune so you need to be extra careful that you are not deceived in Venusian matters. And nobody should ever say “difficult” for things like hair growth. It’s annoying and negative. I have a client who does things like cardio-thoracic surgery in war zones and she deliberately uses words such as “tricky” or “a bit challenging for the moment.”

Oh and I don’t care what anyone says, hair SO responds to nutrition so consider seeing my psychic hairdresser or a simple barber (they listen and if you say trim 1/4 millimetre off the ends – they’ll do it, no patronising) AND a professional to zoosh up nutrition…fishy oils & quality protein, silica etc. Don’t you think???

As I have said, this ain’t no ordinary Dark Moon…It is the Dark of the Moon before a New Moon that is a Solar Eclipse & a strong one at that. Because it’s a Cancerian New Moon, think also of Goddess Energy & witchy style insights. It’s near to the old Pagan festival of Minerva & Sulis – goddesses of wisdom & healing, womanly strength et al.

Flash nostalgia that leads to sudden ‘aha’ moments or shifting of perspective is to be expected & super-productive. And yes, good time to unclutter, crap time to charge around acquiring things or starting big ventures…

Solar Eclipse New Moon Exact…

Los Angeles:  Tues 19.36

New York: Tues 22.36

London: Weds 3.36 am

Sydney: Weds 12.36

Mmmm and the Moon is in antsy old Aries until the morning of Thursday in Los Angeles & New York, mid-arvo Thurs in London and just after midnight so very early Friday AM in Sydney.

Tetchy, ambitious & energy to burn but soooo frustrated at things that don’t move quick enough…which they just damn well WON’T during a Dark Moon and with Mars sludging along in Taurus, waiting for Venus to catch up and the party to start. But the Moon in Aries does not give a fuq about any of that; Moon in Aries wants action – now, cut-through – within the next five minutes and to outwit/outlive/out-think/out perform and out everything all those who have ever dissed her/him.

You need to channel the Ramzilla vibe correctly or elst you WILL start bitching it up. Frenetic physical activity, cleaning, working, martial arts, saving people, sex if you are not too bad tempered, striding along furiously toting up the peeps who diss you & typing definitive No-More missives of shit.

Go the Dark Moon! La Luna is wane-wane-wane until she renews herself in early Taurus and trine – freak not – PLUTO with the New Moon on Saturday….Friday night if you in L.A. But before this super-sensual-re-potted fresh flowering earthy N.M in bucolic old Cow Taurus DO the Dark Moon properly.

You know when the Moon IS a Harsh Mistress?  When you don’t obey self-nurturing dictates & attempt to thrash yourself/your genius out indefinitely via stimulants/bullshit/denial…Yah that goes fine for one-maybe-two nights of genuine inspiration. Your lit-up mind over narcoleptic matter. But ignore the Moon and you crash in a heap of fitful, melancholy naff sloth for at LEAST a day. The point of the Dark Moon is that anything rejuvenatory that you do now, any rest, any therapy etc etc is several times as powerful.

And then it is the New Moon onward that you push, strive & thrive.  Fighting the Dark Moon is always counter-productive but this one is slightly complicated by Mars into Aries mid-week. So there are three days with the accelerator revving – no fuel kinda thing. Channel the spaz, detour the Mars energy into planning, intensifying the above-mentioned Dark Moon rejuvenation or distinct Mars activity; fighting/work-outs/resolving disputes. But TRY to put off anything of huge emo importance until after the New Moon on the 25th.

You may have fudged the chronological New Year & that pesky Saturn-Uranus opposition made it tres tricky to stick to resolutions (really; sex, shithouse wine, bread & potatoes are the new, affordable therapy of the moment) but here is ANOTHER New Year!

Yay, it’s the astrological New Year, celebrated as the moment the Sun goes into Aries (astro-fiends say “the Aries Sun ingress”) as Aries is the start of the Zodiac.  It would be a very good moment to make like our Aries. Bellow your affirmations into the bathroom mirror. Do some boastful visualising. Lead. Pioneer. Never, ever, ever give in. As this moment occurs when the ruler of Aries is in sooky-goo-goo Pisces, you may want to fold some empathy bk into the mix. But do make some audacious resolutions to be at one with the cosmos.

Los Angeles:  4.44 am  on Friday  – Aries Style Suggested Way To Celebrate:  You up at Sunrise, in Yogic mode, ostentatiously flexible & glowing with an eerie ‘I spent the winter on Mars’ style tan. Resolutions may be inked onto body or kept  in secret journal.

New York: 7.44am on Friday – Aries Style Suggested Way To Celebrate: You at the office/workplace precisely at the moment of the Aries ingress, in the most extreme power-trippy suit thing you can manage, scheduling in the entire next year with demonic energy & glee.

London: 11.44am on Friday – Aries Style Suggested Way To Celebrate: You head off for the most O.T.T. lunch meeting you can possible organise between now and then. Something with a view, an ambitious guest list and a visionary agenda of things to discuss.

Sydney: 22.44 on Friday – Aries Style Suggested Way To Celebrate: You hatching fresh plans with confidantes, at secret location lest others overhear the total genius of you in T.G.I.F mode. Everyone exchanges extreme flattery and competes for the most ambitious resolutions to be publicly announced and cleaved to.

I am in Sydney & it’s some sort of a heatwave situation that favours lolling about having amazingly shallow & bimbonic conversations + receiving cryptic text messages from the Uranian.  But ideally, as it is the Dark of the Moon right before a Solar Eclipse, one should be vigorously cleaning, sorting & chucking out whatever is obsolete. Then, a really good space clearing with Tibetan bell thingies, a sage smudge stick & some gorgeous essential oils sprayed about. It’s symbolically clearing the way for new energy, ideas & prosperity in your life. At the very least, clean out some cupboard & re-zoosh your bed so the sheets reek of beautiful ylang-ylang.  Cleaning during the Dark Moon is always therapeutic. Oh and purple flowers to go with the Aquarius vibe, I reckon.
