Once you know what to look for,  you see it everywhere. Eg; that Washington Bridge Collapse - aging infrastructure is an issue all over the place, rendered especially dodgy by local government who got used to playing the market/casino capitalism/buying into hedge funds during the Bubble Era. Because it’s way more sexy to be wined/dined by Wall Street with all the rate-payers cash you’ve got to “invest” than it is to fix some dumb bridge, right? That bridge that collapsed was listed as “functionally obsolete.” But still, you know, safe.

There is an article on the Zap Zone at the bottom of the Daily Mystic email in a cute little e-book and you can also read my Global Financial Fuqery category here. BUT essentially the Zap Zone is the rare square between change planets Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries. Cue geopolitical morph on a scale not seen before AND as with any Pluto transit, the exposure of corrupt/non-sustainable structures and relationships. Such as the several trillion dollar derivatives bubble. Satyajit Das, author of Extreme Money, has an epic series of posts re all this, if you are interested.

Super-short summary: Deleverage. No complacency. All my Horoscopes are totally, insanely Zap Zone compliant…Maybe i will get one of these hoodies,  it’s a good time to be team Uranus/Pluto – not team Denial.

Astronaut Anna Fisher, not the first female in space but the first mother in space.  Virgo, Virgo Moon with something beautiful rising.   Lilith on her North Node in Aries – nobody takes the term “pioneering” more seriously than an Aries North Node person. She has Saturn in Virgo conjunct her Sun. Far from spacing out in this picture, she could be inspecting the plexiglass on her helmet for specks. Thoughts?

So this Full Moon in Saggo Eclipse is like a circuit-breaker, rut-buster deluxe bit of astro-weirding. Yes radical candor but high chance it is mostly to your self.

And it’s square Neptune so there is also a strong sense of delusions cracking, omg psychological insights unavailable to you during normal transmission and a haute degree of awareness around any addictions.

Fun, yes?  Oh and definitely not a good time to pull a Lower Neptune stunt. Anything Love Zombie linked or attempts to get out of it could get murky real fast.

Flakes are everywhere, obviously, but it’s the High Functioning Flakes who confound us, thwarting all expectations. The Highest Functioning Flake i ever knew was a Gemini (H.F.F.s are often Mutable Signs – Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, Saggo) who worked in television. He was such a flake nobody who met him could ever believe he’d be able to hold down a job, let alone have amassed several million dollars-  in the days when a million dollars had meaning – and a strong reputation as a game-changer.

People were always shocked, literally jaw-gobbed, to find out he was actually successful. How was he a flake? God let me count the ways. He took women on a first date to a strip club. Having left school at 14 and run away to work in a circus, he openly denounced the rank idiocy of rote education until one day he announced that he’d been accepted as an adult  scholar to a prestigious university. Cue enormous interest in academia and some success in philosophy. 

He went through a stage where he had therapy and a colonic every 2nd day.  He would be at social functions and just disappear. He was in a choir. He had a friend who was an arms dealer. He was a stalwart of some charity run by nuns, who adored him. He was an early adopter of shamanic rituals. He could not cook – not even boil an egg or bake a potato – but one day he signed up for a cooking course and became expert. He went on a vow of silence for a month when he decided that all his anecdotes were off color and dated.

He always took the contrary view of any conversation going. He barely slept and actively resented the need to sleep. He thought crystals were a racket, the modern version of hares feet carried as a talisman. He used the I-Ching to pick stocks and got a rare bat sanctuary going in his back yard. His lovers were driven mad by his blunt refusal to contemplate any manner of commitment.

When he died it was relatively young (Chiron Return) and via a strange, very quick acting exotic illness. He told nobody, sought no pity and went away to some motel in Mexico to do it in privacy like a cat under a hedge. It took people months to figure out what had happened because his orbit was already so erratic.

High Functioning Flakes run their lives by magic, surrealism and a secret set of rules from a playbook created in another dimension. Key astrological indicators; Strong Mutable charts, Strong Uranian/Aquarius points. They have a set of beliefs that would freak any member of the skeptics society but they make it work.

Are you a High Functioning Flake? Or do you know any?

Now someone has found out her birth time and it is Leo Rising.  She certainly looks suitably catty and big-haired here. Remember: Leo Rising peeps are often  more Leo than Leo. They always look feline in one way or another.

The term “vertiginous glamor” should be compulsory for everyday use.  What does it mean? Glamor that makes you dizzy?

Leo & Capricorn is a really fierce mix  – arguably the most ambitious. Kate Moss has a legendary work (and party) ethic. Work-Fabulosity-Business-Decadence. Pass out. Start again the next day.

But i also think she is like a supernaturally powered vampire. How else can someone approaching 40 and on an apparently staple diet of Marlboro Lights, Space Dust and Blue Devil Hoochie Juice stay so hot? Yes – i know – photoshop. But still.

She looks like she is completely disgusted by something in this shoot. Someone must have bought a tray of wheatgrass shots into the room.

Whilst we’re on the general topic, this ad below looks like a Saggo who managed to find a really cute way to disguise her bong.

* Sleazometer is the Mars-Venus compatibility guide, it’s frank and all.

FYI June is going to be FUN for relationships, lust-crush situations and budding romances. Jupiter at the end of Gemini wraps up strange love weirding from mid-2012 onward, Mars will be in Gemini – think ambiguity but hot, wordplay wins men – and Venus will be in crabby Kataka.

The ladies just want a home-cooked meal and someone to sort them some new bras, pronto. And asteroid Eros will be in Taurus. Some of us may need to exfoliate, declutter the bedroom & get new sheets already. Except for Saggos who as we know, like doing it anywhere.

Think: Donna Summer I Feel Love, Flashdance, Top Gun, Scarface, his re-mastered Metropolis, Never Ending Story, Midnight Express…

He’s Taurus – arguably the most musical sign of all – with Moon in Sagittarius and Aquarius Rising.

This interview + music is fantastic.

“Always keep your composure; you can’t score from the penalty box and to win, you have to score.” Bobby Hull.

Composed and yet fierce in the face of the Zap Zone/Eclipse Season – yes?  Tornadoes, Russian Warships heading to Syria, Global Financial Fuqery – it’s all happening out there. Remember; in your own personal life, innovation (whilst remaining composed) is the strongest policy bet this season.

AND here is some advance notice of good things happening in June/July here on this site.

* My Very Own Binaural Beats Mp3 will be available via the Shop. I am always banging on about how great they are and i decided to commission the extremely talented composer Jandy Rainbow from Unisonic Ascension to do one for us.  The brief is that it be a relaxing, rejuvenatory and creativity/problem solving brain enhancing 20 mins Power Nap with the actual planetary transmissions from Jupiter & Uranus on there. Trippy, right?

* Jupiteria…Jupiter is going into Cancer/Kataka at the end of June – where it is exalted. So yes awesome and yes i am going to try and devise some sort of insanely affordable report re this. I am thinking just which house/sector Jupiter is in you personally & the major aspects OR Horoscopes. I am not sure yet but there will be some uber-Jupiter action in June. Jupiter will also trine Saturn AND Neptune, really augmenting the rebuild aspects of the current astro-weirding.

* A Neptune Dream Diary – you know i consider the keeping of a dream diary to be the fastest, coolest way toward self-knowing, getting more psychic and so forth. So i have created an actual hard copy, beautiful one, designed to the divine ratio and just genius. Obviously any old pad of paper will do but personally, i am always way inspired by beautiful stationery. It may be a Mars in Virgo thing.

* Bitchcraft – The Book of Lilith, my totally new e-book on Lilith complete with ephemeris is most likely due out in July…It’s going to be rad. You can also – in the meantime – get an Astro-Query (if you’re a subscriber) to find out more about your Lilith, if you desire to know about this most fascinating Dark Moon in your chart.

* My other new e-book in the works is D.I.Y. Astro Hacks – fast cool ways to read any birth chart without having to wade through untold screeds of esoteric guff. This is very dear to my Mercury in Aries, you understand.

As always, subscribers will get first info re any new devs or offerings on the site but if you are not a subscriber you can sign up to Mystic Alerts – it means you get the occasional emailing (once every month or so) of any brill offers or super-strange astro.

The third (of seven) exact hit of the Zap Zone is a few hours way – newshounds might like to watch for interesting manifestations of geopolitical merde and the rest of you can share your major, audacious fresh Zap Zone resolutions if you want.

It’s huge. It’s kind of like only extreme and radically NEW goals feel right; that’s where the rewards lie now.  It’s exhausting but weirdly liberating/stimulating. It’s like we’re all ON something. Watch for pass agg sniping from people still patiently waiting for things to return to normal.  The ability to thrive in uncertain times is a blessing, an art and an achievement. But not everyone is going to applaud, you know?

It’s like when herbalists and their clients seemed have a better survival rate with the plague in the Dark Ages, look where that got them.

Subscribers, read/re-read the Zap Zone primer at the bottom of the Daily Mystic email…Stay stuck & you are fuqed.  Evolve or Evaporate.

Zap Zone Questions: Is is better to be obsessively Awesome or serenely mediocre? What skin (s) do you need to now shed to accomplish the renewal you’re now seeing as inevitable? Has some sort of growth you’ve forced yourself into since last October opened your mind and psyche to whole new dimensions of Awesome?
