Mrs Pluto – The Asteroid Persephone

Persephone – Krista Huot

You know, I am sure, the Persephone myth? Persephone a.k.a. Proserpina (the Roman – think Aphrodite v.s. Venus for the difference) is innocently picking flowers one Spring day. Tempted by a narcissus, she also encounters the Hades a.k.a. Pluto and is then (depending on which version of the story you are reading) is either abducted or lured into the underworld where she winds up Queen of the Underworld.

It’s a totally complex tale with multiple themes & richness. If it resonates, you can actually fling two asteroids into your chart – Persephone (asteroid 399) and Prosperina (asteroid 26) What does their sign/house placement and any aspects mean? I don’t know!!!  I haven’t looked into them…This is going to be it.

I did found one description that had Persephone as signifying a sort of stupidity, naivety and sort of bumbling into the underworld style urges. Great. Because I have her conjunct Neptune in my tenth so it’s amazing i can even sober up long enough from my underworld bumblings to write scopes etc. Okay, lol.

Apart from being a folk tale to explain the seasons, Persephone’s story is so clearly also like that of Eve – the loss of innocence…and what’s more the desired loss of it. Eve eats the apple. Persephone eats the pomegranate. It’s also a tale of rebirth – Persephone goes into the underworld and learns all sorts of things so it’s like the story of Inanna/Ishtar’s trip into the underworld and subsequent triumphant rebirth.

Right now Persephone is at 10 Pisces & Proserpina at 28 Capricorn. Hmm. So this New Moon Eclipse on Friday will be conjunct Venus AND Prosperina…a rebirth indeed.  I am going to take a punt and say that either of these asteroids have to do with where you may seem serene & untroubled but where you have in fact faced trials…you’ve swum in underground streams…Where you’ve munched on some forbidden fruit and liked it, maybe.

In the story of Psyche (asteroid 16) -  considered an essential metaphor for women’s psych development by Carl Jung – one of Psyche’s tasks is to pop down into the underworld and collect a sample of Persephone’s fabulous beauty cream.  My god, is there a Jungian in the house??

Another thing to think about: Could/would either of these asteroids operate like a sort of Lady Pluto by transit???  Does seeing this New Moon Eclipse as being tied in with Venus AND Proserpina make you feel about it any differently?

Pluto In Capricorn Strikes Again

December 23, 2009 in Astro TrendWatch, Astro-Beauty by Mystic Medusa | 114 comments

So there is v.serious article in Time Mag about whether or not it’s empowering to keep dying your hair & an article in the Times about how even young girls are adopting a “gunmetal grey” mane to be cool. I was born blonde and I intend to stay blonde so this is not remotely an issue for me.

But it’s an interesting Pluto in Cap style trend & this is going to make me sound mega-bimbonic, I realise, but i don’t think i actually know any woman who don’t dye their hair. At no matter what age – the only question really is whether they’re adept at d.i.y. or hooked on a colourist habit. My son’s female friends cannot even get together sans colouring their hair – applying gunk onto one another’s roots is how they bond. Are any of you intending to let gray hairs show or do you?

And what sign are you?  No, wait, what sign is your Venus…I am wondering if there is a Venus sign that would say ‘fuq it’ and charge around with their silvery mane. I am thinking Saggo…

Also, I suppose Pluto in Capricorn is going to totally revolutionise the way we treat elders in our society. That or the Pluto in Leo baby boomers will demand it. There are already some extraordinary examples of peeps being amazing – fit, functional, vital, ultra-healthy, gorgeous – at any age peeps used to be written off. Life starts at the Uranus Return Lol.

Venus-Plutonic Again

December 23, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 19 comments

Venus is advancing toward her conjunction with Pluto – they meet up this weekend & it’s a definite indicator of lusts/emotions brewing merrily away in the background. So first the Sun and then Venus meets up with Pluto & there is indeed some powerful juju going down. Many peeps are going to get a very interesting little bit of Christmas Biz coming their way.

There is a lovely cosmic line-up in Capricorn: The Sun, Mercury, Venus very soon, North Node and then along comes the Full Moon Eclipse in Kataka opposing next week. Paradigm shifts galore, especially in power-trippers & where the romantic status quo needs to be tweaked a.s.a.p.

Venus Scorped Up

phpi6bgSmPMCharles William Waterhouse – Lamia By The Pond

Venus is now in Scorpio, btw. Take careful note today as the Love-Goddess sextiles Pluto, stirring memories of Venusian-Plutonic shenanigans (hot, karmic, forbidden etc) from way back.

The next big Venus-Pluto aspect is at the end of the year – Venus meets Pluto in Capricorn and sparks a new cycle. But Nov is also a series of subtle  hints re the 2010 Venus in Scorpio extravaganza – Venus in Scorpio from September until January.

Venus has not been Retro in Scorp since late 2002.  It’s always a good one. DO avoid negative Venus-Plutonic carry on…stalkery, bitcherel and overly-intense emo. Perhaps think more in terms of elegant skin-shedding, so that may slither out of the discarded skins, all gleaming and perky again.

After the New Moon, Venus does a whole lot more of stuff – squaring Mars in Leo (always great for a good time, trining Uranus (surprise!) and squaring the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding…If you like your love life intense, bats, sexy and a bit power-trippy, this could be your sort of thing.  Ditto if you feel like things have been stuck for a bit. BUT don’t push thy luck THIS week = let the Saturn-Pluto Square do its thing…It’s not exactly romantic.

Venus Into Libra…

And VOILA VENUS IN LIBRA!!!

Libra is one of the signs Venus Rules (she also rules Taurus and is Exalted in Pisces) and so the Love Goddess is thus super-well-placed in Libra…Venus in Libra as the backdrop for Mars going into Leo this weekend is just perfect. She will also linger in Libra until November 8, thus also being there when Saturn gets into Libra…let’s all Libra-out. Symmetry! Skincare! Scent! Diplomacy! Balance! Yin! Yang!

Venus is also now applying hard to a square with Pluto – given that this is a Dark Moon, you don’t want to get swept up in a lower expression of Venus-Pluto. Try not to succumb to vengeful thinking, stalkery bitcherel and, well, you know the drill. Don’t you?

See today’s Daily Mystic for an extended rave re the Venus Pluto cycle & how it pertains to relationships.  I am also going to remind subscribers of the password to read my previous Venus-Pluto Subscriber Only Rave as it’s ALL on again…If you don’t subscribe, do think about it…Support totally ad-free astrology!

Venus in Libra will feel easier than Venus in Virgo. We love Virgos but Virgo is the sign opposite to Pisces, in which Venus is Exalted. And of course, Mars is in Cancer, opposite to Capricorn, the sign in which HE is exalted. So both Venus and Mars – by the weekend – are in signs that they are WAY more happier and productive in. This means relationships come into being and/or sort themselves out more easily. The following signs are also far more at ease in their own skin & world: Aries, Taurus, Leo, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces…But everyone will feel the shift…

Have A Gorgeous Weekend…

Happy New Moon & have a gorgeous weekend.

Enjoy the last hours of Venus in Leo for the year but fret not! The Love Goddess gets into Virgo any moment & trines Pluto; always a passionate or at least an insightful interlude.

And soon Mars is trouncing through Leo, putting some heat into dalliances or delicate beginnings/flirtations of the last three weeks or so.  Sun-Mercury is the highlight of Mercury Retrograde & you may get ’solutions’ to Mercurial mysteries as well as way more chance of Mercury Retrograde batso situations.

But the New Moon in Virgo conjunct Saturn is SMART.  The blog is back Monday midday…xxx

Astro-Query: What Was Your Most Wuthering Heightsie Love Affair?

August 5, 2009 in Astro In Books, Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 64 comments

If you have not read Wuthering Heights, here is the ’study notes’ version lol!  But this question works best if you HAVE read the wretched thing. I read it once as a teenager & adored it. When I re-read it a few years ago, i freaked at what an a-hole Heathcliff was. So, what was your most Wuthering Heightsie relationship & with WHAT sign??? I am thinking tortured, requited but never quite happening, Goth-toned and possibly adulterous with shitloads of  yearning and banked up sexual desires. With or without the ghosts and wandering the Moors at night…

Also, while we are on this, Wuthering Heights is MEGA Venus-Pluto & what signs are Cathy & Heathcliff???  How BAD is he?  And is  it just me or is the spookiest bit of the book right at the start, where she comes back as a CHILD ghost???  Soz for the spoiler but the book HAS been out for centuries…

And how unreal is Kate Bush doing it as a song???  She is Leo, of course – hair, red dress, lit references, love of art/performance.She has the same birthday as Emily Bronte, the author of Wuthering Heights.  She also has Venus in Cancer sextile Pluto and trine Neptune…She should do a whole series of Gothic fairy tale love style songs & epic poetry…Venus aspecting Neptune does NOT like the mutual obligation, counsellory end of love. They live for Great Love, soul stirrings and Poignant Moments. Sometimes they prefer things to be left undeveloped, unrequited…anything to avoid the non-poignant Menstrual Bickering In The Carpark At Ikea moments.

Moon Into Leo!

egyptian_goddess_sekhmetSekhmet: Ancient Egyptian Warrior Goddess

Sekhmet, the Lion Headed Goddess…a brilliant poem by Margaret Atwood.

The Moon is in Leo & through until Sunday, a fittingly dramatic backdrop for the Venus-Pluto square. Hard to hide a THING under such flamboyant stars. So you may as well be brave & bedazzling.

“…I am the Passion of Lightning and the Command of Thunder,
What exists, IS, because I have Willed it To Be.
I am the Queen of Heaven in a Mansion of Fire,
I am First among those in the Great Sky-Boat of Eternity…”

From Hymn To Sekhmet – the rest is here… It is actually from the Egyptian Book Of The Dead but have not linked to THAT.

Venusian Voodoo & The Pluto Square

April 28, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 25 comments

Any moment now (okay, exact on Saturday but building now) it is the third of three Venus-Pluto squares in a row. Friday – the Day Of Venus is when it’s most full-on so happy love weirding. Venus in cathartic aspect to Pluto is hot & deep, ultra-fated. But watch for manipulation and led by  your er, genitals.

Eg; You could find or think you have found some sort of blissful Twin Soul scene;

soulmates

But your tantric juju is actually way more equivalent to THIS;

mainMary Reeves Uhles

So watch the old coercive, seductive manipulative hi-jinx – whether you are likely to be the instigator, gimp or whacko blend of both. Do not get sucked back into a toxic old-old-old dynamic, even if it is ever so karmic i.y.o. Think: Fresh Paradigm.

The Astro Of Susan Boyle

April 18, 2009 in Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 31 comments

Oh well you’ve  most likely heard of this lady by now – Susan Boyle, surprise hit of this Brit Talent Quest & suddenly it’s like Christ & Princess Diana back in one go as it IS amazing footage. She’s so naff & frumpy looking & with this strange little come-hithery hip swinging attempted flirtation with the snide media-stud judges – you can see peeps in the audience rolling their eyes and then VOOMP; Sensational, divine & totally trained-seeming voice. It IS moving to watch.

Hence the hype; that someone non-hot, not ultra-young nor under management, having gone to a stage school or been recently inspired whilst hanging out backstage at her Gucci modelling stint kinda cool-scene is SO talented. Which is interesting & tres Pluto in Capricorn really. Ye olde authentic. She is a self-described “spinster” who claims never to have been kissed & is currently unemployed but volunteers to help out at her local church.  So NOW.

Her astro;  She is an Aries – note her Ariean eyebrows – with Moon in Libra but not sure of the Moon degree nor rising sign as lack of time….April 1 1961 in Scotland. She was born with Retrograde Venus in Aries and came to fame with Venus Retro at Zero Degrees Aries just coming off squaring Pluto. Mars in Cancer squares her Sun – that could be a bit pass-agg but it also SO fits someone living in obscurity biding her time. Deep dreams. The Dark Horse.

She’s just recently had her super-lucky Jupiter Return (betcha that coincided with her getting through the heats or whatevs for this show) – Neptune quincunxes her Aries Sun – she dreams a dream indeed. A lot of dreams…And Mars trines the Neptune…Juniper dreaming?  Pluto is bang on her North Node. As I think I have said before re Pluto-North Node people, they are singular and with fate playing a distinct and flamboyant role in bringing them into being a focal point & signifier of the Zeitgeist for a moment.

So Pluto is currently trining her natal Pluto/North Node in Virgo and will continue to do so for several years; she has a message other than belting out – however beautifully – these old show songs. But what?  It is a message that Pluto In Capricorn wants to deliver…And no, I don’t think it’s the Dream song nor Cry Me A River…it’s something else.

And – to answer my question, a brilliant article: Suzie Simple
