Lady Gaga’s Uranian Transit

Nine months ago, when I did this post about the Astrology of Lady Gaga,  some peeps said they had never heard of her & I said they soon would. Others claimed that she would be a short-lived phenomenon & I said she would become an institution. Now, voila. She is making fantastic use of Uranus over her Piscean Sun – this surely is individuation to the max. And Mars in Leo (which I think she has rising) is clearly fantastic for her public profile as well.

This outfit is a red latex interpretation of an Elizabethan frock. Not sure what the eye make-up is messaging but such raving chutzpah. Love to know what the Queen, a Taurus, is thinking.  She has always been surrounded by strongly Leo women and Taurus Leo women can have shocking clashes, no matter how much they love one another.

The Queen Mother was Leo, Princess Anne is a Leo, Princess Margaret was a Leo and one of the Sarah Ferguson princess-daughters is a Leo – Beatrice, I think. And so when Lady Gaga rocks up to meet the Queen in red latex, I reckon the Queen is thinking “another damned Leo?”

Astro-Chess & the Virgoan Supermodel

Virgo SuperModel Carmen Kass at a chess championship.

I was wondering which signs would excel at chess, if any & whilst researching the subject I found out that the Virgoan Supermodel Carmen Kass, is not only a chess champion but president of the Estonian National Chess League. Her current lover is a Taurean chess champion (both Earth signs, bliss!) and Ms Kass has recently fought for but lost the rights for her native country to host the international Chess Olympics. Germany got it.

Three points:

* Chess goes in and out fashion, does it not? Occasionally a sexy chess playing scene is bunged into a movie? I was MADE to join a stupid chess club to calm me down aged 14-ish (Uranus sextile Uranus is always fun and NO, being made to do a very classical and trad ancient game with RULES is not the best thing for any Uranian transit.) Even the sitting down bit is a problem.  So i ignored all the boring stuff and learned ONE really fancy gambit. Something to do with risking the Queen.

* The Virgoan Supermodel Chess Champion ideal is kind of cool, yes?

* I researched – a bit – the chess champions of the world  and guess what?!!! The last TEN have all been MUTABLE SIGNS: Non-stop Gemini, Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius.  I would have surmised that the Fixed Signs – Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius – would have been more strategic and patient. But there is a total bias toward the Mutables. WHY? Amorality?  Fluidity? Your thoughts?

Loving Demi Moore But…

August 20, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 10 comments

I  love Demi Moore & actually have for yonks but how hard would it be for her Virgo-Mooned Leo Daughter Rumer Willis to have a birthday party during which her Multiple Scorpio Mum (Sun, Venus, Mercury and Neptune all really close together in Scorpio PLUS Demi has Pisces Rising with Uranus transitting over it so she is going to get weirder soon and with pleasure) insists upon shouting her shared lap dancers in public, papped by arrangement and Scorp-Mom looks eerily younger. Then again, imagine what you could learn from Demi — all those Scorp planets are in the 8th house even.

Cleopatra – An Aquarius? Plus Where Is Your Nefertiti?

August 12, 2009 in Astro-Fiends by Mystic Medusa | 56 comments

cleopatra-colbert

All that is known of Cleopatra’s birth is that it was in January of 69BC, rendering her a Capricorn or an Aquarius Sun. I was sitting there last night, pondering some sort of gag a la how she could/could not be either one of those signs, whatever. Suddenly, like a fiend possessed, I decided to figure out her birthdate. Thanks to the glory of Astrodienst I was able to check out the astro for Jan 69BC.  You can’t whiz up charts for that date, but they have an ephemeris.

I have decided that she was born on January 28 in 69BC. She’s an Aquarius. This was not just me guessing. I actually looked for the date she met Mark Antony as I assumed that would show up some fairly significant astrological transits to her chart. So, they met in October  of 41BC – if she were born on January 28 that would have Uranus crossing over Mars at that point. None of the other dates earlier in the month fit this. Uranus crossing over your Mars is totally apt astro for a woman meeting a life-warper of a man. She would also have  had Saturn on her Mercury in Capricorn at that date.

The January 28 birthday gives Cleopatra Sun conjunct Saturn in Aquarius and Venus in Pisces square both Jupiter and Neptune. Sun-Saturn is a visionary and driven leader who feels enormous responsibility from a young age & had to wield power. Venus square Jupiter and Neptune can totally go over the top for love, and what’s more wants to. I think it fits her. She apparently wrote textbooks on cosmetics and gynecology in between being a Queen, managing an Empire, becoming a legend and being immersed in this all-consuming love affair.

cleopatra-image

There is no asteroid named Cleopatra but there are some fantastic Ancient Egyptian themed asteroids, if you are interested. And no, i don’t really know what they mean in your chart but they’re fun to think about. For Astro-Fiends, at any rate. You can fling them into your chart using the Astrodienst Extended Chart Options feature;

Asteroid 42 is Isis (like the Egyptian Venus) and asteroid 2340 is Hathor (another version of Isis), asteroid 2436 is Hatshepsut – the only female Pharoah & whose rule was considered especially visionary & amazing. Asteroid 3199 is her granddaughter Nefertiti, she of the beautiful profile.  I am totally thrilled that i have Nefertiti conjunct my IC and Hatshepsut rising in Aquarius.

Saturn Crashes The Uranus-Venus Club

August 10, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 60 comments

Saturn

Oh well, at least the planet LOOKS good…But guess what? If you are a member of the Uranus-Venus Club - that is, your Venus is between 22 and 29 degrees of ANYTHING but especially a Mutable Sign such as Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, Saggo – you are having a Saturn-Venus transit as WELL as Uranus Venus.

Uranus-Venus is weird yet emancipating & youthifying- see the above link for a rant re THAT. Saturn-Venus is a tad more sombre, obviously. I am having it at the moment and there is an infuriating nostalgia. Not the wisteria infused nostalgia of Neptune nor even the oh-my-godding of a Uranian flash. It’s just Saturn so more like a forensic analysis – totally unbidden – and recognition of long term patterns or themes in all relationships. Saturn telling Venus to shape up, be mature etc. Yick!

But Saturn is trundling along quite quickly now & so if Saturn has crashed your Uranus-Venus club, the ’stock-taking’ sober-socks phase of your love life is done by November & you are left with just Uranus zinging about.

Astro-Whitney Houston: Can She Come Back?

July 6, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 20 comments

whitney-houston-thumb-473x354

Whitney Houston, one of the best-selling artistes of all time, has clearly had probs in the last six years or so. Since, actually, Pluto hit her Midheaven.  Not that that transit ought usually to result in a cavalcade of domestic abuse & drug allegations, an especially troubled divorce, litigation with step-parents, more apparent hard drug use and some shocking photos published as proof of the latter.

Now she is set to produce a comeback album – Undefeated – in Sept with one of the songs being I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.  “I didn’t know my own strength/ And I crashed down and I tumbled/ But I did not crumble/ I got through all the pain/ I didn’t know my own strength/ Survived my darkest hour/ My faith kept me alive/ I picked myself back up/ Hold my head up high/ I was not built to break/ I didn’t know my own strength.”

I’m thinking this could be a major moment for Ms Houston as she steps forward into mid-40s divahood, triumphant and -  yes – having overcome her battles to become a beacon for people of all ilks. Even if you don’t like her music, DO admit the lady has a voice. Listening to the stuff on her site, i realised just how much her songs formed a kind of backing soundtrack for my late 80s & 90s. Does her chart sustain a comeback triumph?

Okay, she has some AWESOMELY benevolent & super-powered astro-assets.

She’s a Leo with her Leo Sun conjunct Venus (hotness, beauty, art, talent) and she’s got her Aries Moon conjunct Jupiter. That is like a plucky survivor signifier. Random prediction: will she come out when Uranus crosses Moon-Jupiter in 2014? It would be a fantastic Oprah moment.

Chiron Rising in Pisces; maverick with a message, wounded healer et al. Mercury-Uranus-Pluto in the 6th house (she can work & feels a keen sense of mission to society) & oddly enough, the very same Lilith-Neptune in Scorpio conjunction as George Sand.

As I said, she’s had shite going on in since Pluto hit on her Midheaven back in 2002 but now Pluto is set to trine her Mercury-Pluto-Uranus conjunction in the 6th AND Jupiter is on her Pisces Asc from next Feb. I’m tipping YES, that she can do it & she’ll be an unreal figure of inspiration to people battling their own domestic abuse/drug style issues.

The post-Pluto transit return from hell makeover  moment of glory can be awesome. It would be poignant in the wake of Michael Jackson too, non? I want to see her in full Leoness.  I like how her comeback kicks off as Pluto goes Direct.



Transit Lounge: The Uranus-Venus Club – Updated

Peeps! I am re-posting this as Uranus-Venus transits already going on – see below – are now HOT for two reasons: Venus is quincunx Uranus, setting them off AND Uranus is retrograding way back to where it was lurking in Feb 2008 and then forward again…So from now till May 2010 is the Hot Zone for your Uranus-Venus transit. Also, Saturn gets involved from now through until September – yay! – So some of us could even have a, gulp, meaningful and enduring Uranian romance. As Uranus heads back to exact conjunct my Piscean Venus, i am totally going to be in the club, hanging out in the comments. Pls read the post and comments to determine your eligibility to join my club.

Last year’s transit of Uranus conjunct my natal Venus bought The Uranian & it wasn’t even exact. It’s exact in mid-March & then again in Nov & December. There is already the Leo-Rising Aquarian Rugger Stud & an Ariean so bats & Uranian i can barely begin to explain it/him.  Uranus-Venus transits are fun but weird. All the peeps you attract or whom zig into your life seem to be ultra-attractive & individuated but really bats. As an example, even my Celebrity Crush – Joaquin Phoenix – has apparently gone totally apeshit bats. That is the awesome power of this astro-passage. Unbelievable.

None of my friends are doing Uranus-Venus transits. So, in the spirit of support, I am offering u the chance to join the Uranus-Venus club. All you have to do to join is have a Venus between 21 and 28 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius or Gemini. Also considered Venus in those degrees of Scorpio or Cancer and Capricorn-Taurus.  How do you know your Venus degree? Again, look it up on Astrodienst You all know the Venus glyph & just check out the list of planets in the little box down the left…Look at the number next to the Venus…

If  you are eligible to join the club OR you have interesting Uranus-Venus transit info to share, please comment. It’s a fascinating transit.

Retro-Uranian Alert: Emo Emancipation is Nigh!

June 24, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Planets by Mystic Medusa | 12 comments

Uranus is in slo-mo, getting set to turn Retrograde on July 1, next Wednesday. Thus, the next week or so can operate like a sort of mega-bats Mercury-Retrograde, compleat with sensational synchronicities and the chance for some truly Freudian mixed messaging.

Triple-check your e-mails, especially the ones with goss, innuendo, sultry secrets & sordid intentions writ large with CAPS and unique but batty turns of phrase!!!!! Because you could so easily zip them off to Mr/Ms Wrong. Remember that Uranus is the Magician, the Trickster & the Life-Quaker. I don’t mean Quaker as in Puritan sort of dude, I mean ‘quake’ as in shake up.

So this is some Wild Energy swirling about at the moment, what with the Eclipse Season starting as well. It’s Uranian so could be Sudden Growth & innovation but it’s also Cancerian so think a la shitloads of intuitive awareness and insights.

There is a total tempation to go sink into Lower Crab with a spot of pass-agg-guilting and self-pity re whom  you cannot rely on. It’s prob best to rise above it – without being gimped – and think in terms of Capricornian capability, keeping the Crabby stuff for emotional wisdom and using the Uranian qi to work out how anything can emancipate you from crap.

Yes, that’s it. Emo emancipation, capability and fuq all those who’ve ever villified you. Conduct your own orchestra. Innovate. Do YOUR thing. But still be careful as Uranus stations retro…And, spesh alert; the following signs are totally prepped and happy to DROP you 4-eva should you annoy them, try to control them or make even a TWITCH toward an intellectual stance that could remotely be construed as you judging them; Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. They will either go you or you will never hear from them again in many a lifetime.

Carla Bruni’s Saturn-Uranus Opposition

May 21, 2009 in Astro-Fiends, Astro-Passages, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 3 comments

17386_bruni

Carla Bruni’s Pluto transit (still on until the end of this year) saw a pretty amazing transformation. Appropriate, for the planet of transformation smack bang on her Capricorn Sun at Zero degrees.

Now she’s got Uranus approaching her Midheaven (public image) opposing her natal Uranus and squaring her Mercury at 28 degrees Saggo. Pluto going over that a few years ago would have deepened her consciousness for sure and now Uranus comes along to edge her into being a positive iconoclast. So she’s already got Mercury in mouthy Sagg and Uranus squaring it + opposing it for the next 18 months should see more such episodes as her mouthing off at the Pope. It is especially resonant as she was (a) born & raised Catholic & (b) is a woman in such a powerful position or at least with massive media cut-through speaking  out.

Also, note that the Saturn-Uranus opposition – next hit in September – will be right across her IC-MC axis; Saturnine conservative force at home vs Uranian forces in her career/wanting to use visibility to effect societal change and they both square her Mercury. It’s called a T-square and they rarely pass un-noticed nor fail to create a fuss. Hard choices though.

“I find that the controversy coming from the Pope’s message – albeit distorted by the media – is very damaging…In Africa it’s often Church people who look after sick people. It’s astonishing to see the difference between the theory and the reality. I think the Church should evolve on this issue. It presents the condom as a contraceptive which, incidentally, it forbids, although it is the only existing protection,” she told Femme Actuelle, the women’s magazine.

The comments will cause Mr Sarkozy embarrassment in a country where, despite the separation of Church and State, a majority of the population was born Catholic André Roux, a constitutional historian said: “It’s unprecedented for a first lady to criticise the Pope….”

Dark Moonie Astro-Action

I don’t know who this designer is but he/she/it is totally grokking my Winter wardrobe “statement”. As an Aquarius Rising, i LOVE the classic gray trackpant. Informal. Egalitarian. Add my Venus in Pisces appreciation of deshabille & perfect; the ideal outfit for a premenstrual trot up to the local. Or straight from the gym to the pub. An update of ‘resort wear’ for the Pluto In Capricorn era.

ANYWAY, i was actually wanting to give an example of astrology in action. The day before yesterday I had transitting Mars on my Sun & Psyche. All the good-Mars stuff happened; heightened determination & strong ideas for moving forward etc. But there were two other things. And, btw, I had not even bothered to  notice Mars whizzing over my Sun/Psyche. I looked later. Mars AND Venus right there. The Venusification was prob my saviour. Mars can be a Malefic (ie; shitty) but Venus is always a Benefic. (ie; Fab)

You see, when you have Uranus conjunct Venus going on, you’re too busy with your whacko love life & Aquarian men to think about flitty little Mars transits. Thing One; Was late to get my daughter from sports camp so jumped in taxi even though it was only a short way away. Did not bother with seatbelt as traffic at crawl. Smelt weirdly strong alcohol smell. Assumed that was prob some synthetic crap the guy had cleaned his cab with. Thought surely would not be actual booze. Heard voice – literally – that said to put seatbelt on. Ignored. Was in back seat. Going one kilometre up road at nano-crawl. Heard it again. Put on stupid seat belt.

Soooo suddenly we’re going fast, making some illegal left turn and screeching down road as twerp taxi drive tries to run a red light OUTSIDE the hospital A & E department. We narrrowly miss colliding with the van turning left legally and there is huge screech of brakes and both cars spinning off, stunt-car style. The van is a police van driven by two enraged young female constables. I am fine. But would prob not have been sans seatbelt. The Venusian aspect of all this is that had something happened, i would have been v.close to medical help and the the cops were -obviously – right there on the scene.

So an hour later walking home and Thing Two;  I get into a fight with a guy on the street. He looks slimey, asks me something or rather and I decide to ignore  him with Anglican hauteur. So he starts hassling this girl behind me. Asks her three times to go to the  pub with  him and then kind of wheedling but threatening ‘oh why not?’ and all t his other stuff. So finally I wheel around and go him. Not hysterically and not unreasonably. But definitely with a sort of Martian white-hot fury. Totally told him off (leave her along,  no means no etc) and he arced up and argued back. Could tell he longing to hit me and i was absolutely ready for him to give it a go as would have used right elbow, left hook, right upper cut and a knee in his groin. But he took off.

And no i don’t normally get into fights with guys in streets or relish a punch up. It’s worth keeping an eye on where Mars is. It definitely energises. A Mars conjunction is the strongest. Mars on your Venus is always an excellent pulling transit. Mars-Moon means you’re SO tetchy but can be quite insightful. Mars-Saturn is ruthlessly sorting admin and structural details of your life and/or confronting power. Mars-Jupiter is usually at the races, lol.
