CUSP FALLACY

Posted on September 14, 2012 by krisfontaine

So your birthday falls when the Sun straddles the end of one astrological sign (ready to move into another), or has just entered an astrological sign – and you consider yourself to be on the cusp…? According to my way of thinking (and other noted astrologers’) -WRONG!

The layperson generally interprets this ‘cusp fallacy’ to mean a mingling of the qualities of the two Sun signs involved. You see, the Zodiac signs’ dates change slightly from year to year, due to the Earth’s shaky rotation on its axis. The full date of your birth will reveal there is only one sign your Sun can reside in – even if it is zero or 29 degrees of that sign (fyi there are 30 degrees in a sign).

So if, for instance, you are born on 21 June, and consider yourself to be on the cusp of Gemini/Cancer – well, your Sun officially falls in one sign or the other, but your Mercury, Venus or another planetary point in your chart would be the reason you feel you have the qualities of both signs in your make-up… for example, a Gemini with Mercury in Cancer would be less likely to be as rational as a Gemini with Mercury in Gemini or Taurus. Ask away if you don’t get it…

ASTRO TIPS SEPTEMBER 2012 Kris Fontaine

Posted on August 26, 2012 by krisfontaine

Aries

Jupiter powers you to bump up your communicatory technique before the month is out. This immediately cancels any chance of losing the deal, dumping your dream or caving to chaos.

Taurus

Milk the Virgo New Moon of her talent for working the room, making a mark and counteracting controversy. Happy days for a relationship you were convinced was heading south.

Gemini

Worried it’s way tricky to add your special touches to a work or home project that’s turning pear-shaped? It won’t be a fail if you avoid stepping on others’ tender toes.

Cancer

The quick fix for a relationship issue involves slipping more fun into the mix. Once this is in place, you’ll eradicate any doubts you may be entertaining.

Leo

The Sun takes Mercury’s keen ideas to bed, creating more options for increasing income or working in a favourite zone. Your domestic world is about to be seriously tweaked too.

Virgo

This month is about looking deep within and pulling out the elements you know will up your image and social status. Unexpected expenses could take a chunk out of your money stash.

Libra

Jupiter fully flirts with your Sun, assisting you to exchange contact details with a sexy southerner, or make things hot and heavy on home-base again. Right on time.

Scorpio

Ouch! Another nasty chapter completed in your domestic dramas. On your mark to start something sensational, Scorpio, that’s quite capable of delivering you out of those doldrums.

Sagittarius

Your cosmic conscience says open up about your past or come clean with that secret. This may mean make-or-break, but you will feel much more fluid within yourself.

Capricorn

Venus circulates love in your arousal zone, which could either deepen the connection with your current or cause you to find a more satisfying solution to a cold bed.

Aquarius

The Venus/Mars challenge entails reaching a nice balance between extreme activity and perpetual pleasure, as your fantasies sharply morph into reality. Aquarius, you’re amongst it.

Pisces

Fazed by work, Pisces? Your set-up shifts so you’re able to start living your dream. And he/she is right there beside you – all the way to the bank.

YOUR AUGUST ’12 ASTRO-TIPS by KRIS FONTAINE – MISTRESS OF NEW AGE

Posted on July 26, 2012 by krisfontaine

Aries

Saturn squashes your fierce motivation, bumping it up to controlled contentment. The ideal head-space to sort your files, edit your friends’ list and commence that blog.

Taurus

The Jupiter/Chiron challenge means passing up possibilities that reek of past people, while making room for perky new connections. Money manoeuvre…s are marked as magical.

Gemini

The quick fix for a domestic problem is formatting a more structured routine. This overlaps onto your love-life, cancelling out any notion of being hard done by.

Cancer

Concerned it’s too late to add your flavour to a program, celebration or outfit? It will be, if you don’t step up before the deposit goes down or plans are set in stone.

Leo

Celestial counsellor, Venus, slides into your subconscious, editing your desires, tweaking your dream relationship, or plucking out your inner demons. Love her work, Leo.

Virgo

Whatever spin you put on your reasons for allowing a relationship to go pear-shaped, be on a mission to patch things up with those you mistakenly blamed.

Libra

As you end a ‘hard knocks’ phase, Uranus kick-starts your new chapter, where you pull the strings or the plugs. Hold the whip in your left hand, Libra.

Scorpio

Venus bats her eyelids at your Sun… this instantly assists you to catch an onliner’s attention or cosy up with your current after a serious dry spot.

Sagittarius

Your keen conscience steers you towards helping a rough relative or fraught friend put their life back on track. This couples as a re-bonding session.

Capricorn

Putting your partner or date’s feelings first could be a serious challenge with manipulating duo Venus/Pluto doing its job. Watch this doesn’t work against you.

Aquarius

Jupiter spreads golden opportunities on your daily grind. Be primed to train up, sign up and enter new territories. Bring on the bling for the big event.

Pisces

Over colleagues switching sides, free-loading or blocking you? Lay your concerns out, and watch as your boss or team-leader suddenly has your back. You shark, you!

Cosmic Consciousness

Posted on May 25, 2012 by krisfontaine

The MOON affects the ebb and flow of the tides — HUMANS consist of 70% water (as does the EARTH), so it makes sense that the SUN, MOON & PLANETS have an influence on us … make a conscious decision to let the cosmic influences work for you as from today… Kris xx

Long Distance Relationships

Posted on December 5, 2011 by krisfontaine

Okay Guys… Long-distance relating is so perfect for the commitment phobe (which usually involves fear of being smothered or fear of being abandoned – sometimes they fluctuate) – and often involves challenging Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars aspects to Uranus or Neptune in the natal chart – & sometimes Saturn is involved (fear of rejection factor makes one push others away)… here’s another cathartic poem to ponder over:

LD Unplugged

Kris Fontaine

Handling long-distance

Lump on the patience

Keeping it real

Sheer persistence

Master interaction

Minus resistance

Banging keys not bodies

Snap shots in time

Hard plastic, exaggerated fears

Time zones collide

Ignored rear

Roller-coaster ride

Words misinterpreted

Issues become nuisances

Frustrated mutters

No touching, no nuances

Hazy memories of contact

Trust in the gutter

Ultimatums, hang-ups

No lusty make-ups

Phone n chat no compensation

Short on fuses

High on maintenance

Living in different nations

Big on chemistry

Brief bouts of tangibility

Slightest thing sets me off

Subtle sounds get you off

Tired of limitations

Over bad communication

Commitment-phobe, loving my space

But a vacancy exists

Where we came face-to-face

Back-to-back gigs

Laughing out loud

Content in my digs

Avoiding the crowds

Missing the frenzy

Dissing the bills

Craving the love

Needing the thrills

…Dam it’s hard

‘til we eyeball again…
