In The Stars
It’s New Year and it’s going to be a fantastic one for everyone…….I promise, and I should know because what I forgot to tell you guys in the blogs last year is that as well as being a poet, I’m a kind of High Priestess and professional Astrologer. I tend to keep it under my hat as it scares the hell out of most men, but this year TBW has kindly asked me to be the ‘Mystic Meg’ for the site so you will all be able to benefit from my cosmic prowess! Watch out for my In The Stars column on TBW xtra starting on Feb 1.
I specialise in relationships and I am fantastic at other peoples, sorting them out that is, but fearfully crap at my own. I think it’s because I am a weird combination of independence and softness, unconditional loving and unconditionally demanding. It screws everyone’s head up including mine. What I really love doing is writing, but I’ve come to the conclusion that what the Universe probably wants me to do is be a kind of 21st Century Sybil. You know all Delphic Oracle and bacchanalian dancing under a full moon. Actually I wouldn’t mind that. You have to squeeze the fact out of me that I‘m a bit spiritual, (Tibetan Buddhist, Reiki Practitioner, studied with Buddhist Monks blah blah) as somehow spiritual isn’t sexy. Just so you feel more at ease I am the most down to earth sage you will ever come across…………… I again promise!!
I’m writing this from my laptop in Barbados, (no I’m not unbelievably rich. yet)…but I don’t have any vices except falling in love and travel. Looking out across the endless blue sky and palm trees I realise I could have a lot more of this in my life, beach and sun, stress free chill out time, so I had better do something to earn it. Barbados hasn’t heard about the credit crunch, everything is a quarter more expensive than it was in April and they have the sort of parties here that you read about in Jilly Cooper, or Hollywood Wives. I went to one two nights ago with my 14 year old, hosted by an ex Miss Barbados, circa 1974!! Standing there looking ravishing with my 14 year old son next to me I was approached by a 60 year old bloke in one of those God awful flowery tropical shirts. Lets just call him Francis Du Pris (can’t afford a liable suit).
He started off by asking me what school I had been to,(please!!). Then proceeded with.
I own coffee plantations in Uganda, Tea in Assam and I just bought my grandson a cheap hotel here. Only 14 million $. I’m looking for a new wife; mine just died after 31 years.
My son looked completely appalled and I was so stunned by the horror of this man that my jaw dropped and I backed off stuttering nonsense………….
What has this got to do with Astrology you are asking yourself? Well no clue actually but I do feel that I am supposed to be here in Barbados for some reason other than just getting a suntan and driving you lot mad with jealousy. In fact my Tarot has just said that there are lots of opportunities for me to work here, it also said that I will soon have a new lover in my life. No clue about that either, but we shall see.
I know when I first do the chart of a prospective boy friend most of his plus and minus points and also what he expected of me. You see in a birth chart there are around 12 planets that are important, not just your sun sign. Women tend to choose a man who fits in with the Sun or the Mars in their chart and men choose a woman who is similar to their Venus or Moon. Which is why people are always falling in love with someone and then trying to turn them into someone else. A relationship chart which is the two birth charts put together will tell you if it is a love relationship, a friendship, a marriage….or a disaster in the making. Or perhaps a combination of the three.
Right, that’s as technical as I am going to get, so watch the Astrology space and if you want a personal reading contact me as below and we will see what life has to offer. My banker is still speaking to me, even though I told him two years ago about this financial crunch and he chose not to believe me………which makes me better off than him now……. well in my head anyway!!
Just to get you all intrigued here is a bit of a ‘taster’ bearing in mind that each person’s chart is a unique and complicated blueprint of their potentials and personality, so any sun sign column is really a bit of fun and should be taken that way. The signs manifest differently for men and women, so lets try a Sun Sign for TBW Lovers column and see how we go..
Capricorn.
Pluto the planet of the King of the Underworld has moved into Capricorn after 250 years and that’s one of the reasons for this credit crunch business. It will take 12 years to move through Capricorn so nothing is going to happen in a hurry. It begins a cycle of profound change for everyone but Capricorns are first on the list. . Anything that is outworn and not useful any more must go……but Pluto also promises profound riches and hidden treasure, for those willing to go with the flow of transformation.
The ladies.
Capricorn women get better as they get older, but watch finances this year. Now may not be the time to rush off to SJ Philips in New Bond Street and buy that Diamond tiara you have always wanted.
The toyboys.
Capricorn toy boys are of the tall dark and handsome variety with that marvellous touch of seriousness that Saturn brings. A Capricorn boy is never really young except in years, this year an emphasis on career and getting some recognition for your talents (the work variety) should be top of your list..
Aquarius.
The ladies.
Ruled by Uranus and Saturn Aquarian ladies are a wonderful mix of the adventurous and the sensible. Never underestimate an Aquarian! Jupiter moves into Aquarius for a year, the planet of exuberance and expansion. Later on in the year it conjuncts with Neptune so those idealistic dreams and schemes seem to be within reach. Make sure your plans have a good grounding in practicality, do your homework!
The toy boys.
Wild wacky and whoops where has that wonderful idea taken you this time? As for the ladies Jupiter accentuates everything this year and big plans need to be tempered and honed to perfection. Cool and collected in your love life, maybe this year is the year to get truly involved.
Pisces.
The ladies.
Charismatic and dreamy, but don’t be fooled there is a core of determination beneath.. Venus moving into your sign may herald a year that is dominated by all things amorous and sensual, go with it and use your excellent intuition to weed out the illusions from the idealism.
The toyboys.
Wine, women and song springs to mind here, though not necessarily in that order. Ruled by Neptune the lord of the sea but also drugs, spirituality and alcohol, just think ecstasy in all its forms. However remember we all have to live in the real world one way or another.
Aries.
The ladies.
Act first and think later, is perhaps your usual modus operendi but Pluto is also having an effect on all the Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, so you haven’t been feeling quite so sure of yourself recently. The rule for the year is slow down and try a little patience. Usually a rude word in your vocabulary its one you are going to have to get used to Boudicca, to win the battles !!
The toyboys.
Arties boys are gung ho and the adventurous ones in the zodiac. Although you may be called selfish, in relationships you can be giving and aware of the needs of your partner, as long as she can keep up with you.!
