Taurus men

Every Aquarian I have ever known has – at the very least – an intense dislike of Micky Mouse.  Why? Their reasons vary.

Now I have just read a New York Times  interview with the very Aquarius Kenneth Anger (avant-garde film maker, occultist, author of Hollywood Babylon) in which HE denounces Micky Mouse:

“…The thing is I view Mickey Mouse as a kind of demonic figure. It’s a little sprite or imp. I disdainfully reject the latest incarnation of Mickey Mouse, which just is a monstrosity. This pink-faced Mickey that they’ve tried to turn it into a little boy wearing some kind of mask or ears or something, trying to humanize it. He’s lost all of his mischievous, devilish qualities. He’s sort of the ceremonial doorman at Disneyland or Disneyworld. Mickey Mouse is a little creature you can hold in the palm of your hand. Nothing like the poor, suffering, underpaid teenagers who are inside those costumes. I’ve talked to some of them through the mouth of their costumes. I go there on a hot day and they’re sweating like swine. It’s torture!…”

If it helps: Micky Mouse is a Taurus.

But still…demonic?

Two things: Hollywood Babylon was such an influential book. It’s style influenced celebrity coverage today & did  it way before the net.

So, do Aquarians share a dislike of The Mouse?

Would a real Taurus wear this truly Seventies retro Taurus-themed vest?

I think gimmicky vests like this are more the preserve of Gemini or Saggo…True Taureans are swathed in sensual fabrics and the only you’d notice from behind is their bottom. That’s not meant to be so rude as it sounds. But i don’t see Taurus as thinking about having anything decorative or a slogan on their back. Not even their own Bull symbol…Yes? No?

Remember in the end, it was established that he was a Taurus?  I think?

Anyway, the Global Power initiative continues apace, he had his “goddess” for a couple of months but she was released,  having failed to live up to some of the “requirements” AND here is the latest requirement:

“…Furthermore, she is potentially interested in sacredly exploring FEMALE bisexuality as a Goddess, so that, by my simultaneously worshipping multiple Goddesses, we can greatly intensify the power of our sexual magic, thereby accelerating the manifestation of our Global Vision….”

David Beckham for Giorgio Armani

“I’m very organised and controlled and need to go to bed at night knowing just what i’m going to wear the next morning…”

“…I have to have everything in a straight line or everything has to be in pairs… I’ll put my Pepsi cans in the fridge and if there’s one too many then I’ll put it in another cupboard somewhere.  I’ll go into a hotel room. Before I can relax I have to move all the leaflets and all the books and put them in a drawer. Everything has to be perfect…”

“…Beckham reportedly spends hours straightening the furniture, apparently buys exactly 20 packets of Super Noodles on each visit to the supermarket and wears a new pair of football boots for every match….”

“…In our house in Spain we used to have this big rug that when you hoovered it, you could do it in lines like Wembley. Victoria used to catch me after the kids had gone to bed doing the hoovering and it would all be in perfect lines…”

Oh well, one naturally first suspects Virgo, non? But David Beckham’s astro is more complicated than that. He DOES have Eros in Virgo, which is interesting – i would love to know if anyone else has Eros (asteroid 433) in Virgo & gets off on a bit of O.C.D?  Not that I am trivialising the condition – someone in my family had it & thank heavens it resolved by itself but you could sense how it had them in its grip. And I don’t know if DB is an official sufferer or just has his ways…

He’s got Mercury Rising in Taurus so super-quick-minded & with a vibe of the Trickster to him & a nice Mercurial lightening of all his Taurus energy but his Moon in Capricorn is exact square Uranus in Libra. That can, this is mildly phrased, make it hard to relax and one would totally develop idiosyncratic rituals to feel at ease. Okay, maybe I am reading way too much into this as he is rather easy on the eye, but from his chart, he would be a fantastic writer. True!

And I actually think he looks far better in motion than in still photography.

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.

From my Mercury-in-Ariean skimmings of mags/news, if there were one person to pin the current fiscal shitfeast on, it would be Bernie Madoff, banker to the extremely wealthy.  If you are not familiar with his story, this article here quicky explains how a former lifeguard who started on Wall St in 1960 with $5000 wound up pulling off the ‘largest investor fraud in history.’ Yet he helped to invent the technology that later became NASDAQ, he concocted all sorts of pioneering stockbrokering whizzery. If you read his Wiki or the article above, the consequences & blow-back of this are just staggering.

So I’m reading all this guff, going W.T.F. is this guy’s chart like. It’s like he is Darth Vader. I mean, he starts out good & innovative, some kind of genius with lucre, he’s a dad, loving husband & major force for philanthropy and then – voomp – a criminal under house arrest apparently, which is probably a good thing for him given the sorts of people he’s pissed off. In one thing i read, it said a whole Arab state is down $400 million. Another mentioned Russian oligarchs. Then there is Kevin Bacon. Yes, also affected.

Okay, so his birthdate is April 29 1938. No time. He is one of the last of the Pluto in Cancer generation, who were a stoic lot, born after the dreadful holocaust of W.W.I and into a depression et al.

He’s a Taurus with Uranus conjunct his Sun. So, a Uranian with the energy straining to express itself via the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus. Venus sextiles Pluto. Most seriously wealthy peeps have some sort of strong Jupiter-Pluto signature. He has them quincunx. Jupiter in Aquarius also squares Venus in Taurus and his Nodes. That’s a bit of avarice but he took it way O.T.T.

Neptune in Virgo makes NO bigtime aspects that i can see from a chart sans birthtime – with the birthtime, he’s gotta have some Neptune action going on. He got discovered as SATURN went over his Neptune in Virgo – i’m thinking it’s his midheaven & he’s Sagg rising. His Mars is in tricky old Gemini…Oh and he was born under Retrograde Mercury…
