Lady/Xena/Venus in Aries: Excuse me. Dude haven’t you heard? Mars is Direct already?
Man/Mars in Leo: Om. It’s not out of the Shadowzone yet, still picking up speed.

Just when you think you’re going absolutely ape with the combo of revved up desires and delayed ego gratification (thank you Venus-Pluto Square & Mars Retro at Zero Degrees of up itself Leo) – along comes Moon in Capricorn to the rescue.
Yes, it’s a Dark Moon (ie; Waning and right before the New Moon) but SO what?
Capricorns aren’t afraid of the Dark.
This is the Moon for you if you want a sharp jolt of getta-grip style thinking, some inner self-pep-talking and the Tao of Endless Self-improvement to distract you from the above nebulous yearnings and a.w.o.l. men etc. Think of this Moon as Saturn in a bottle.
No, Saturn as a room spray – it is supposed to have no scent but the discerning person can detect a whiff of platinum, success and lemon cypress. It instantly causes the mind to focus on what matters most and to prioritise. There is, after all, always something you can do.

You know what?
Mars & Saturn are both Retrograde and they’re in a sort of sextile…This can evoke some v.useful opportunities for pragmatism, especially re dealings with corporations etc. A military mindset, applied toward positive ends and all that.
But it’s also a guaranteed formula to evoke any bad Dad shite you might have lurking within. Or even a good Dad, but with wasted potential, thwarted psyche urges & well, you know the drill. I’m not a shrink but Mars-Saturn Retro means mining the Daddy Dearest nostalgia vein will hit psychic gold real fast.
So hands up who’s doing about a 1000 things at once, heated right up now that Venus is in Aries, pissed off at how a certain something seems to be in slo-mo AND is doing father issues on top of all this?
The Saggo Moon has but one message of the moment…
Fuq Sloth. Get out and do something. Anything. Or go bats. Especially with Mars right at the arse end of his Retro in Leo. Enough with the navel gazing, secret flake outs and seethingly intense “planning.”
Move. One foot in front of the other. Exercise. Dancing. Crapping away in a bar so long as you can move around and don’t have to talk to one person for more than ten minutes at a time. Just move.
Plenty of time to worry about biz when the Moon is in Capricorn early next week AND Mars goes Direct AND Saturn starts to really oppose Uranus already.
Realism in relationships? That’s taken care of too…Venus will oppose Saturn. But for now? Venus in Aries trines Mars in Leo and the Moon is in Sagg. Move.

I think that with heartbreak, just like childbirth, that you forget the pain….
True, False or Way, WAY too complicated for such a trite simplification?
And, I mean the heartbreak of a romance ending or even just thwarted lust, not heartbreak resulting from atrocity or tragedy.
Then again, I have Venus (heart, love, romance) in Mutable Pisces so maybe THAT does the trick? Whereas Venus in – say – Kataka might not only not forget but actually double-back to poke at the bruise a bit. Venus in Aries probably wouldn’t even admit that there WAS a break or a bruise. Venus in Taurus would have the whole thing documented.
There would SO be a paper trail with blame properly apportioned and stuff divvied up…These are just off the top of my head. Please don’t take offence or nark off at me that your Venus sign is demonstrably the sanest bit of planetary woo-woo this side of the Milky Way.
Okay – your Venus Sign and whether you think heartbreak is like childbirth and that you forget the pain…Or NOT.
In case you do not know, Mr Strauss is an author who wrote a book called The Game; Penetrating The Secret Society Of Pick-Up Artists. He considers himself one – using the pseudonym ‘Style’ – and has also just released a book about how to live ‘off the grid.” Check out his My Space. Seriously. Look at it. It’s essential for the astro-lesson coming.
He appalls me but i am also sort of in awe at his gall. Why now? Well, my Handsome Piscean Ex (HEX) whom i rarely see as he lives interstate & is married, has become enthralled to this damned guy. He tried a few of the stupid, patented pick-up moves on me until finally i said “have you been reading that f**King stupid book?” He admitted it. He thinks the guy is a genius. It’s not about finding love or having a relationship – it’s like a whole separate lifestyle concept.
Anyway, HEX didn’t pick up that night. He fell asleep on my couch, bitching about feminism mid-sentence when he fell asleep. But i vowed to check out the astro-data for Mr Strauss. Just now i found his birthday. It’s hard to get as he bullshits about it but one of his frenemies in the “seduction community” outted him turning 40.
I mean, look at ANY of those links and tell me he is not a nervy piece of work. How the hell can someone proclaim themselves the world’s greatest pick-up artist and survivalist expert?
Guys, he is a MULTIPLE CONJUNCT ARIES: Sun, Mercury, Venus & Saturn – that’s a lot. Moon maybe in Libra or Scorpio. He has Jupiter with Pluto – which IS the mogul indicator. He has taken a fairly yicky premise and made shitloads from it. He’s clearly a great $$ operator. And he’s got Uranus conjunct South Node at 1 Libra. WHICH means that he should actually have some kind of genius insight to offer society when Saturn crosses over it in Nov/Dec. Plus Pluto is squaring it. And then again in late 2010. But what? I reckon maybe he’ll run for politics, lol.
But yes, self-proclaimed Expert in both Survival & Seduction is SO Aries Man and he’s full of it. Aries planets, I mean.
Also, is this just me, but do the fingerless lace gloves worn the lady in the picture above signify that she may be on the clock rather than someone pulled via his stunning expertise? God, I am SO PMT.
“At this moment my cousin Helen came sailing up, like the long-necked swan she fancied herself to be. She had a distinctive swaying walk and she was exaggerating it. Although mine was the marriage in question, she wanted all the attention for herself. She was as beautiful as usual, indeed more so: she was intolerably beautiful. She was dressed to perfection. Menelaus, her husband, always made sure of that, and he was rich as stink so he could afford it. She tilted her face towards me, looking at me whimsically as if she were flirting. I suspect she used to flirt with her dog, with her mirror, with her comb, with her bedpost. She needed to keep in practice.”
The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
VENUS in TAURUS, the sign of her dignity! That is, she is in one of the signs she rules & thus stronger. Certainly stronger than in Aries where she has tarried since February. And now the planet of love, money and sexual rapture moves toward a sensual mid-month conjunction with Mars, her eternal lover. See if over-scorched love scenarios now become more green & organic, with this earth-angelic influence. More Zen? Venus is now in Taurus till early July. It is totally a different atmosphere from all those months of a more martial Venus.
Aussie Backs Out Of 4.7million sex deal fascinated me as I have been e-mailing with Natalie Dylan. She’s really smart, nice and a Leo. That’s all I can say. But o.m.g. soooo Mercury Retrograde. But in the story the “Australian Real Estate Agent” said he had to pull out of the deal because he was banned by his WIFE. I was e-mailing the Scorpio Sex Academic about this today & we were agreeing that we WOULD love to have witnessed the conversation that led to the “banning.”
“…Oh honey, what? Oh yah, that. Well I’m only away for the week so figured we could skip one of our Pilates sessions or you could just take a friend…HONEY, calm down! Well no, yes, that IS just ONE of the reasons we sold the beach-house but baby, I want you to understand that
this is not about US, it’s…”
I mean W.T.F.??? And yes, he backed out during Retro-Mercury.
And then there is Susan Boyle – what IS this? Some sort of sped-up celebrity in a petri dish scenario? The Ariean became a celebrity in mid-April as retro-Venus wove her magical wiles and then she LOSES the comp during Mercury Retrograde – could there be a controversial recount? And then at the end of May she’s in re-hab? At this rate there will be a triumphant comeback, autobiography, sex tape leaked online and first ’starter’ marriage to a much younger hunk all by JULY. I’m for real – she is a GOER.
AND: Cute Quotes From Ultra-Piscean Sharon Stone in Tatler mag;
Phobia: I have a fear of having fears.
Mentor: I’m blessed to understand that life is its own teacher.
Allergies: I have a bad reaction to mushrooms and people who cling.
“If beauty is in the eye of the beholder than brains are in the eye of the beheld.”
Yes, it IS frustrating to have Mars zooming along in Aries AND Venus there too & making cute-let’s-talk style aspects to the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding (Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron close in Aquarius) but Mercury is plodding along – BACKWARDS – in take-your-time stately paced ye olde Taurus.
So, sigh as much as you like but people will be soooo slow getting back to you and they’re not in the mood to step forward and tell you where they’re at, how they feel…And you can time this all the way back to April 22 – when Mercury was at the degree it is turning Direct at on May 31st. Info and communiques from then until now are bound to be developed, improved upon or revised. But you can’t speed it up. Take your Mars & Venus in antsy Aries to the gym or give them an impossible mission to succeed at.
Do not ring up & give someone hell for being incommunicado or not speedy enough…Be too busy zinging off your own Aqua-Weirding genius to even notice. Pretend the other person/issue is off-planet & completely out of range. Oh and was it not SO Retro-Merc that a bank in NZ made an error and shoved $10 million into someone’s account because of a misplaced decimal point?
Usually I am quite good at attributing trends to cosmic cycles but honestly, the hair thing has me stumped…Does anyone have any ideas? Venus Retro and in Aries for so long? A cave-manny response to Pluto in Cap/GFC stress? The Saturn-Uranus opposition? None of the current main astro-themes seem to fit.
