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.

Other than a few little Retro-Mercury glitches, you should definitely be in fresh territory by now. Venus/Ishtar/Aphrodite/Osun is totally out of the retrograde Shadow-Zone now. So, having maybe wallowed a bit in ancient angsty stuff and had thoughts of past loves rise unbidden to the surface of your mind, you now glide forward with a bold pioneering vibe. I actually just did a Freudian typo; “glide force” – nice, as Venus is still in Aries the avatar. Where is that line “I love your pilgrim soul” from? I think i have already said this but Venus is now chasing after Mars and the two form a fantastic conjunction in Venusian Taurus in June; So sensual. A lot brewing.
Venus has been basically gliding back and forth over the same ground since late January & won’t get past the degree of Aries where she went retrograde until May 17, the same day that Saturn goes Direct & right before the Auspicious Aqua-Weirding of late May.
In between now and May 5 the Love Goddess both squares Pluto (cathartic, v.hard to cling onto non-authentic things ‘just because’, passionate) and sextiles the Dragon’s Head. I love calling it that. Nowadays it’s the Moon’s North Node. Anyway, it’s a point of fate. Lots of things that have been trying to happen all year (whether joinings or partings) happen over this time & that’s without even taking into account all the fixed squares from Taurus to Aquarius…also a status-quo buster.
And, lol, there is a Full Moon in Scorpio amidst all this…on May 9 – the 8th if you are in the USA. Sooo profound that i need new synonyms for cathartic.

Even Capricorns take breaks, it’s true.
But with Sun & Mercury in Taurus, Saturn + Ceres in Virgo + Pluto in Capricorn – there is a ferocious work ethic out there right now & good thing too, as Pluto in Capricorn kicks in…the G.F.C. and all. Mars in Aries also does not want to sit still or shut t.f. up. And note that Mars is moving toward a square with Pluto exact early next week. That’s incendiary but most likely nothing that wasn’t already seeded or established as a potential flashpoint in Dec 08…
My point; Today is the Darkest Day of the Dark Moon before it is New in Taurus. Even amidst all you have to do, take some time for some form of a mini-bunk off. Long sabbaticals are out. Entire weekends are most likely out for the time being. That’ll change when Uranus gets into Taurus…2018. I’m thinking more that you enjoy a whole sandwich & a bit of a sit-down. Some form of power-relaxation.
Venus is just getting back into Aries again. Direct but retracing the retrograde path. So, as it’s a Dark Moon, don’t be amazed if some churlish or less-than-the-Higher-Self style feelings emerge. Don’t act on them. Remember; rests & rejuvenations during the Dark Moon have several times their usual power. If someone goes you chez work, don’t react. Wait it out, look weak now – come back and go them back way harder, when the cosmos is onside. ie; after the New Moon.
Oh it’s been fun & plenty to process, my word! But the Retro-Venus party is about to be over & if you like, post your Venusian Resolutions in the comments. Mine is to live-in-the-now & not to bother with low-Qi engagements. I mean, if you’re putting off seeing someone like it’s a litterbox to be emptied or a crunchy bit of tax administrivia…that’s not good is it?
So, Venusian resolutions, realisations, remembrances, regrets etc????
And happy Venus Direct! Remember; She goes direct as Mercury (messenger of the gods) trines (favourable, easy) Saturn (boundaries, structure, serious) in fast-processing & perceptive Virgo. So whatever of the four Rs you are having is the real merde guys. Profound, productive.

Mars conjunct Uranus – exact on Weds but don’t worry about THAT, consider it active all week – is the ultimate in Fuq U astrology. It’s a bright, blinding blast of a eureka moment, a personal breakthrough and a powerful catalyst for whatever you’ve had going on but perhaps would rather not look at too closely.
Look to the part of your chart dominated by Pisces, Aries & Aquarius for the main arena of action. If you have natal Mars-Uranus aspects going on (a la me) you’re likely to be feeling especially feisty & ruthless. This is ultra-effective & innovative astro-weirding for emancipating yourself from crap, a Qi-draining association or outmoded thought-style. But remember it is Mars – the Warlord meeting up with iconoclastic Uranus & so you need to monitor your tantrum levels to keep them productive & reasonable. Lest you end up with pointless destruction going on.
Go with the genius revamp & po-mo realistic grokking of what is TRULY going on – try to diminish the venom or vengeful emotions. Uranian energy is not emo – it’s pure intellect and it values the new, the reinventive. It’s a good aspect to get in the last few days of this Venus-Retro cycle ( I just made a typo; Venus Retry, lol) and as an aide to blow-away the vestiges of regret, gooey sentiment & The Super-Naff.
Note also; Mars RULES Aries, the sign that Venus has mostly been Retro in…So this is like getta-grip & forward focus again. But it’s fuq-u astrology for sure because there is bound to be someone/something you’re going to say that to over the next few days. Or you just think it as you delete their details.

Four more days until Venus Direct & so you have about 93 hours left in which to get a grip on your romantic past, ex-lovers et al & then graciously face the future. One could quibble and say that the future only REALLY has to be faced once Venus is out of Shadowzone – ie; back to the point at which she went retrograde – in late May. And definitely expect a few random manifestations of news/info/insights re past relationships till then but for practical purposes, the fast-forward starts this weekend. Around the exact moment of Venus Direct is also a fantastic time to do some sort of a ‘banishing’ ritual if you feel like it. The Daily Mystic will have all the times for the diff timezones. Venus Direct can also mean that those annoying sort of half-on/half-off not really sure what it is love affairs either elegantly implode or get some actual substance to them.

Lol! I noted how the Astro-Beauty Nostalgia Post went OFF & so here are some gratuitious Retro-Venus nostalgia hits for you guys.
And…the ferocity of this Full Moon has surprised me…I was so primed to let rip at some peeps (the Full Moon involves my Mercury in Aries & Mars is advancing toward my natal Venus which is already being stimulated by Uranus) that i had to turn my phone off &g go distract my self with a long advanced-Libran-Moon exfoliating ritual. Yes, I do have work to do but was too irritated.
So, once you are done with the Nostalgia Hit – please feel free to indulge bitcherel in the comments. No names. In fact EVERYONE who is the subject of the bitcherel should be given the SAME name…But what would it be? Also, note that is always very easy to feel overwhelmed with a Full Moon. It’s okay…Semper Fi guys!


So, what is the astro-dynamic like between you and your Best Mate???
Best Mate can be past or present but you ideally know his/her astro…Is it a classic Saggo Best Mate breezing in and out telling Scorpionic you to chill the f. out? Staunch Taurus? Is your Best Mate an officially compatible sign with you? Not that i believe in sun sign compatibility – as such – but it’s interesting…
If you’re a total astro-fiend, what sort of transit did you meet Best Mate under? Or, are you a creature who does not believe in the concept of a ‘best’ friend because you are friends with the entire universe sorta thing? And, is your Best Mate a classic representative of his/her sign?
If you want to really roll with Retro-Venus, honour, mourn or bitch it up re an ex-Best-Mate.
