I pulled a small book from my bookshelf today, one that I had purchased years ago. The Mystic Medusa’s Surreal Field Guide: Virgo. The Mystic Medusa does amusing astrological readings, and doesn’t take herself too seriously, which is what I want in a prediction.
Randomly flicked through a few sections and here are some sections that made me laugh:
“It is astrologically impossible for a Virgo to be a der.”(that one is for you my dear derrbrain astrological twin)
“The astro motto is “I analyse”. Virgos don’t have a problem with the cliched ‘not being able to see the forest for the trees’ scenario. They see the forest, trees and early stages of leaf mould or little bug burrows in the undergrowth.”
From Dr Illich: “He aimed to analyse institutionalised structures of industrialised society, provide rigorous criticism and a set of alternative concepts” For why this one tickled my fancy read the saving the world section in this post.
“Yes, they are perfectionists. No, that does not mean that all Virgoans are up at dawn doing yoga stretches, extra-special toothcare and making sure they’re up with current affairs. But this is the curse of Virgo. The ones who aren’t doing that sort of thing are horribly aware that they should be.”
I just ran around Mystic Medusa’s site and found the oracles, which are fun. The results of the following questions amused me, and hit a chord.
“‘What Is Between Me & Success?’ – Lack of Initiative”
“‘Lovely Me: Am I Truly In Touch With My Emotions?’- Not really – you’re a bit numb but this is temporary.”
Of course these are generated from random numbers, but fun and thought-provoking.
That’s enough procrastination from house cleaning. Time to indulge that truly Virgo cleaning trait…
I like it. My favourite Aries comment is “Subtle as a bloody truck rolling downhill, aren’t you”.
Blogs are good for cleaning procrastination, although they occasionally also make me forget to eat. I am informed that this is “not good”.
Hoorah. I’m a virgo…. Sound like me.
Mouse, I left some of the more extreme virgo traits. These were just the amusink ones. And yes, they did sounds like you! 🙂
hmmm, mental note. spell check before posting, and more sleep in general would be good to reduce chances of typos and forgetting to re-check work.
That should read: “I left out some of the more extreme…”
*sigh*
