Astro-Joan Jett- Ultra Virgo…

March 15, 2010 in Astro In Books, Astro-Women, Celeb Fluffery by Mystic Medusa | 14 comments

Imagine how weird and yet cool it would be to have your late teens turned into a movie...Joan Jett is played by Kristen Stewart in The Runaways, also starring Dakota Fanning…it looks so beautifully styled, all L.A. Glam Rock-Seventies Hair & an all-girl band banging around the place.

Joan Jett is still totally going for it (performing, sporting black leather trousers, attempting to break artistic boundaries etc)  & interestingly, this movie is coming out just as Saturn is right on her Virgo Sun.  The last time Saturn was her Sun was when the band was just breaking up in 1979. So eerie and apt…the way Saturn cycles work!

She’s Sun-Mercury-Venus-Pluto in Virgo with a feisty Uranus in Leo v.close by.

TME: It has been said that as a performer, you’re especially hard on yourself. Is this true?

JOAN JETT: Definitely. More so in the studio than live. On stage you just react to the moment, but I’m such a perfectionist. I’m a Virgo and I have a lot of Virgo in my chart. I expect to do things right the first time, every time — even when I know people should not expect ultimate perfection instantly from themselves. That just doesn’t happen. Say we’re recording a song and I’m doing a vocal. If I’m off key or hit one note slightly off, I don’t totally freak because I’m getting better about that. But I get really angry at myself. Realistically, you can only demand so much of yourself. I’m aware of that and I’m getting better about being more patient with myself.

AND, of course, she’s now got Uranus opposing her Virgo Sun: It’ll be fascinating to see where she takes this.

Ingrid Bergman – Ultra Virgo

February 9, 2010 in Astro-Cliches by Mystic Medusa | 28 comments

This is Isabella Rossellini, writing about her mother, the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman:

“Never leave a room empty-handed,” she would often say to me, meaning that there’s always a glass in the living room that needs to be taken to the kitchen sink, a magazine in the bedroom that has to be returned to the living room, and so on. She taught me how to be orderly and how to clean house efficiently…

“…When my stepfather, Lars, bought the Théâtre de Montparnasse in Paris, my mother rushed in to clean it. “That poor house-keeper,” she told me, referring to the lady who generally did that job, “she had to work with the dirtiest rag and the most plucked-out broom. How can she do a good job? I told Lars, ‘Make sure she has what she needs. You cannot clean with an unclean rag or sponge; that just lets you spread dirt around — push it a little bit here, a little bit there. It doesn’t help eliminate it….’”

“…I love cleaning. For both Mother and me, cleaning and organizing are soothing, though because it feels good we may do too much of it. It can get obsessive, and we have to watch out for that. My mother even had to go to a doctor — she couldn’t stop cleaning, and everything got a little out of hand. The doctor diagnosed that she was allergic to dust, which is why she felt so strongly about getting rid of it, but I know that wasn’t it…”

She was seeking that “high” that cleaning gives. I know what it feels like; I’m always on the lookout for dust in secret places where I haven’t looked before to see if any has landed there. If I see it, I can’t stop thinking about it until I get rid of it. Dust brings out the hunting instinct in me, and I know I got that from Mamma….”

Allergy? High? Yes, of course, and she was a multiple-conjunct Virgo:  Sun, Venus and Mercury.

A Virgo Of Yore

Hans Holbein The Younger

Even though this pic dates from the 1530s, she looks like a Virgo does she not?

If you click through to the Wiki, you see that art historians think she might have been a Mary Zouch (maid of honour to Jane Seymour) or an Anne Gainsford – lady in waiting to Anne Boelyn.

The Wiki also says her brooch depicts Fortuna

Uranian Love Weirding Part 10, 001

October 14, 2009 in Astro-Passages by Mystic Medusa | 34 comments

php6pL8GTAMFever Ray

It’s not just the Dark Moon. There is a certain tone I’m picking up on in the comments, love weirding & restlessness. It’s the Dark Moon excabarated by Saturn inching (centimetering?) along in the last degrees of Virgo. But think about this: Uranus in Pisces has been kept in check by Saturn in Virgo since late 2008.  Now, from October 30, Uranus is going to be off the leash. Yes.

Yes-yes-YES, Saturn goes on to square Pluto (Saturn is always doing something, as you know) & that is a whole other saga but so far as Uranian nights and days goes – this means fun, fast individuation, fast-forming relationships, fast-imploding relationships and sudden developments. All of the Saturn in Virgo lessons you have so painstakingly learned over the last year or whatever now come into play.  Five months (from October 30 till early April) of Uranus at play

Ideally? All that Saturn in Virgo slog has led to you being more secure, organised, together, self-reliant and now actually able to have the Uranian love affair/existence/career gig of your dreams. Of course, if you don’t get with the Saturn vibe of the last year or so, it comes back to reality-check you next April.

If you’ve got Ascendent, Venus, Mars, Sun, Moon – anything really, in late Pisces, Virgo, Saggo or Gemini – prep for Uranian Love Weirding and/or cool Uranian peeps to enter your life with the express purpose of disrupting and enhancing it.

Furniture For Virgoans & Pisceans To Agree On…

August 6, 2009 in Astro Gaga by Mystic Medusa | 24 comments

Magnetically-levitating-Cloud-sofa-thumb-550x400-16319It works on magnetic technology & will at some point be available in stores…I am seeing the Cloud Sofa as being adored by Pisceans, for the obvious escapist possibilities and yet also by Virgoans…because they can just clean under it with SUCH ease. Be awful if the magnet thingie conked out – like during Mercury Retrograde or something and your little cloud comes crashing down…

Astro-Gaga: The Capricorn Zombie Book Club

Okay, so maybe Virgoans do wig at book clubs when peeps try to lie about having read some award-winning book when they really only skimmed the review or watched about a third of the DVD when they got back pissed from a dinner party & even then they talked the whole way through.

But there is a worse kind of book club/group and that is the one run by the Capricorn  Undead.

Why Capricorn? Because she will be having a Pluto transit that will render her fuqing ruthless re peeps being non-authentic and bullshitting about books they have not really read when really, the book group is only a substitute for her non-existent sex life and as alternative to tupperware.

Also, cheekbones. And Capricorns are the ONLY sign who can wear white without getting crap all over it v.quickly.

If that were a Saggo or a Pisces  in that gown, it would feature red wine, pesto or coffee as a stain and thus detract from Zombie cheekbones and the Capricorn Undead Book Group leader’s scary,  unsublimated rage at the person who just interrupted her to make shit up about On Chesil Beach AND then mixed  up Anna Akhmatova with Anna Kournikova

For The Virgoan Viewing Pleasure

Soooo much grizzling re Are You Really A Virgo?

I thought it was revelatory. I loved the way someone bitched about the alignment of a sticker. That’s like a whole new degree of haute Virgo…Anyway, here For The Virgoan Viewing Pleasure, are some lovely pics for Virgos! Enjoy!

Virgoans Of Fashion

lagefeldhelmetKarl Lagerfeld Fall 2009

“…That’s why I sleep alone. My hair is curly, and that’s why I have my ponytail. I look like a madman, like something out of a horror movie! But I’m very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. It’s just like right before I’m going out. When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door….”

KARL LAGERFELD in Interview Magazine

Hey – I am pulling together all my Virgoans Of Fashion posts to make one succinct point: Virgo IS the key fashionista sign…it’s in the details…

I like clean, clean, clean, clean. Its my new Zen attitude, you know? The less you have, the more you enjoy.”
Carine Roitfeld

“Our C.E.O. is a Virgo like myself. We are always saying, keep it moving, keep it moving.”
Rachel Zoe

”’I’m a Virgo, so I see all the problems.’  As usual, he was obsessive about the store’s decor. He moved a white stool, he worried that the handrail would give shoppers splinters and he set little marks on the stereo volume so the music would provide the proper ambience.”

Tom Ford

“I religiously label all my shoe boxes.”

Claudia Schiffer.

“… Tom Ford is nervous about almost everything, sleeping only a few hours a night, budgeting every minute of the day. ‘I’m a Virgo,’ he explains. ‘Virgos tend to make things look easy because we are perfectionists, so people think, “Oh, there’s not much there”, because I’ve made it look easy, but that’s not the case.’…”

“…I throw everything away!’ Karl Lagerfeld declared.’ The most important piece of furniture in a house is the garbage can! I keep no archives of my own, no sketches, no photos, no clothes – nothing! I am supposed to do, I’m not supposed to remember!’ He smoothed a gloved hand over the empty page in front of him and visibly relaxed. “

“…At 45, Ford is still the only handsome male fashion designer, with perfect stubble, manicured nails, and not an ounce of fat: ‘When my clothes are getting tight, that’s not a sign to me that I need to go to another size – it’s a reminder that I have to stop eating, or suffer,’ he explains. He has been scrutinised for signs of a toupee, Restylane, and lifted shoes. However, the Tom Ford chest hair remains in fine form, a forest of manliness barely concealed by a polo shirt, usually with merely three or four buttons undone….
‘I am my own muse,’ he says.”

Does Mercury Retro = U.F.O. Sightings?

May 8, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Celeb Fluffery, Metaphysical Quirks by Mystic Medusa | 13 comments

ufos

Amongst my many batty theories is the one that U.F.O. sightings spike up during the Mercury Retrograde phases that occur three times a year. Now, as Mercury is helpfully retro until May 31, we can test this batty theory.

If I am right re this – the next question is why?  Would it be because people are more likely to be weaving home from the pub during Merc Retro, suffering from cognitive dissonance or seeking some crap to tell their partner as explanation for being home five hours later than envisaged? Or because the actual aliens prefer visiting Earth during Mercury Retro? Or because news editors are more likely to feel interested in emphasising U.F.O. stories during Mercury Retro?

Or – i could be wrong…But there will definitely be Freudian Slippage all over the shop and a much higher chance than usual of things breaking; from your stupid-idea-in-the-first-place new vegetable steamer to space shuttles.  And stupid mistakes like this one below, from the Mercury Retrograde in October 2008. And note Salma Hayek’s pained Virgoan politeness.

Raising The Qi Of Your Teeth

April 7, 2009 in Astro-Passages, Metaphysical Quirks, Moons by Mystic Medusa | 18 comments

Here is something to enhance any Virgoan Moon flossing frenzy/general dental hygiene jag. This Tooth Meridian Chart has its origins in Chinese medicine & says each tooth corresponds to a different organ. Like reflexology. So, say you’re ferociously creating tooth perfection in your bathroom whilst also noticing a slight crack in a tile, planning a mega-exfoliation and calculating diff mobile phone interest plans in your mind — all the Virgo Moon stuff that we do…Now you can also note any bits of your gums et al that feel tender or bleed and then go analyze.

This other chart here is similar but it adds a whole pile of emotions & chakras into the mix. Teeth are traditionally under the reign of Saturn. Hence their role as not only useful for eating and as health indicators but also signifiers of status. Those dreams when the teeth weaken or fall out are classic yicky Saturn transit stuff, helped by getting your self together so far as the Saturnine side of life is concerned…the dentist, the taxes, the hygiene.

BTW, do you realise that Saturn is going to nip OUT of Virgo & into Libra later this year? Saturn is actually exalted in Libra. But Virgoans & the other Mutables (Pisces, Gemini, Saggo) being so hard-hit by Saturn in Virgo will get a wee break. In the meantime, do the dentist, do the details, eat plenty of fibre etc…Saturn is not really a Law Of Attraction style planet. That would be Jupiter…
