Mystic Medusa 2010 Horoscopes
[ 11 January 2010 ]
If you’ve been reading iCiNG for any real length of time, you should know by now that my favourite site on the entire web is Mystic Medusa. It is seriously the best, & always the first one I check. Additionally, Mystic has been really good to me, sends me signed copies of her books & puts up with me constantly emailing her links about weird astrology-related products that I find in my incessant browsing! (Like constellation cuffs & zodiac panties!)
We were having a little chitter-chat the other day when she asked if I’d like to post her 2010 forecasts. Would I ever! These are meant for subscribers only (so keep it on the hush!), & mega-delicious. She writes these for In Style magazine; pretty fancy, huh?
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE! Mystic has this excellent subscriber service called Daily Mystic, where every morning she emails you about what the planets are doing, what you can expect from the day & what kind of action to take. I have been a subscriber for ages & think it is totally brill. She’s offering a super-special price to nonpareils for a 6 month subscription. Details at the bottom of the post!
Here are Mystic Medusa’s predictions for what magic is heading your way in two-thousand-&-amen!
Style: Always the Alpha-Girl, you’re about to reinvent yourself yet again. An innovative new era starts in June. For the first time in 80 years, rad planet Uranus will be in Aries. Let your look lead the way via a make-over. Scheme for a mid-year relaunch: Honed bod from mega-fitness, scarlet, diamonds, tan, clean, eco, sporty & a sci-fi style scent concocted with ground-breaking technology. Nothing naff, chintzy nor old-school and the same with accessories.
Happiness: June to September sees you blissing out with Jupiter, the luckiest planet of all. Anticipate peak experiences as you assert yourself more stylishly. You’re soul-mining until March 11, as Mars Retrograde hypes spiritual life. Yoga, retreats & spa hols do brilliant work. Your professional life needs to be approached as a non-stop transformational junket. You’re incapable of stagnation there and things screw up fast if you try to go it in slo-mo.
Love: After April, you’re compelled to set better relationship boundaries. An uncertain phase lingering since October 2009 ends in July and serious deepening of commitments is on your agenda: Marriage, children, a business together or a casual flirtation ramping up into more passionate scenarios. However, you’re not in the mood for immature game-playing. If necessary, you’ll ditch scrappy love affairs and set off to seek something more sophisticated.
Style: Emerald is both your colour and birthstone, with ornate & velvety sensual styles becoming you best. Being ruled by sexual allure & beauty goddess Venus, you care far more for feminine appeal than tricky little fads. Recent years have demanded a strongly directional wardrobe. But in 2010 you’re back on the fun & relaxation track, requiring flattering leisure & lounging around gear. Think: Modern-day siren, totally comfortable and yet silkily gorgeous.
Happiness: Energy channelled into chez Cow repays with riches and peace of mind. But, for domestic bliss, hold off on home projects and big real estate spends until March 11. Rather than grumbling about a lack-lustre social life, take radical steps to broaden friendship circles from late Jan to May. Social life brings career blessings. Amazing opportunities to do with overseas or academia, which were hinted at last year, transform your life unbelievably in 2010.
Love: An erotic spring fling? Fateful love affair the likes of which you have never experienced before? From Sept 9 and for the rest of the year, you have your ruling planet Venus in the House of Love. It’s an extraordinary time for you in romance. Expect the most amazing synchronicity to connect you to people with whom you experience an instant and intense attraction. If you’re pair-bonded, temptation from an outside person may be an issue.
Style: Girlish in-a-good-way, on message with trends & lithe-figured, Gemini is the Zodiac Fashionista. As career takes off from late January, you’re inspired into a sleeker work wardrobe & polished presentation. You are your greatest investment. Pearls are your signature astro-jewel, wear-anywhere and always divine. Late April to June is your zone for zapping yourself into a whole new level of looks, charm and clothes-savvy. Un-rut yourself and live large.
Happiness: Personal freedom increases in 2010, along with fantastic career openings, prosperity and general success. You finalise an ongoing home, ex-lover or family situation by April. July is financially momentous: a new biz, marrying into money or bigtime promotion are all potential themes. Creative Geminis enjoy a huge degree of inspiration and recognition in the second half of the year. From Sept, work life takes on a strangely sensual and flirtatious edge.
Love: Thanks to Saturn at play, you are now way more cunning and manipulative in dating. You refuse to engage with anyone won’t afford you the respect you require to feel cool. Fertility & children could easily be an issue. Solo Gems are highly likely to meet a major love interest (not just a weirdo or player) in late January/early Feb, late May/early June. But all 2010 you enjoy fantastic social encounters and intense flirtations that flare up in seconds.
Style: Yours is the most classic and romantic look of all. Fresh fashion with vintage styling suits your old-worldly beauty along with intricate archetypal jewels & accessories. Your flowers are the pink lotus, symbol of spiritual love, the lily and white rose. Silver is the Cancerian metal & moonstone the jewel of your soul. In 2010 you streamline the time-money equation by happening upon a designer who so totally gets your ideal look that it’s like clairvoyance.
Happiness: From late May till September, you benefit from sugar-dad Jupiter and radical Uranus in your vocational sector. This is the start of a cool and more prosperous new era for Crabby careers. Shake off rusty old limitations – dream big. The main themes of your year is travel, long-distance love, the higher mind and realising your most visionary dreams. September and November are extra brilliant for overseas junkets, business trips and finding yourself.
Love: A calmer and wiser you beams radiant, sexy self-reliance to the world and it affects your romantic realm for the better. Since late 2008, your love life has been way more passionate and karmic, a vehicle for your transformation. This process continues and if you have not yet, you begin a brilliant, intense and fulfilling Big Love story in 2010. September onward is hot, thanks to Venus in mystical mode. Fate reconnects you with someone from your Past.
Style: Suitably, for luxe-loving you, your lucky jewellery is gold and yellow sapphire. Wear both to enhance your gilded Leo beauty. Cash flows from May and you may enjoy money from unexpected sources. All the better to fund your unabashed love of beauty, art elegance & pleasure. Good living is not at all shallow to you.You make it an art. Your taste is singular, expensive & often ornate but you enhance the world and brighten the very air around you.
Happiness: In mid-January you initiate your most stunning health and chic physique metamorphosis ever. This year you’re also learning to love the biz side of creativity & your life. Until March 11, be tactical with everyone, especially career v.i.p.s. Play things strategically enough and March to June represents a jubilant professional phase in which you lap up lavish reward and recognition. A mid-year work trip or offshore biz interests are out of routine but so worth it.
Love: Romance is more mystical, strange and inexplicable than ever. You attract the most fascinating of lovers and there is a deep dimension of soulful emotion running through even the most seemingly simple of attractions. Destiny is at play and your dreams message you many clues as to your relationships. Pair-bonded Leos may be tempted by outside potential partners and ambiguity of attachments. Mid-2010 is off-the-scale hot for sudden love affairs.
Style: A sophisticated eye, ability to edit and fastidious fashion details consciousness ensures you are always chic. You’re a jewellery diva – jasper and peridot are your cosmically assigned rocks – but you favour subtle genius over overtly flash bling. The craft is all, as it is with your clothes. One brilliantly devised & rendered item of anything trumps a thousand cheap bits of tat. This year, especially from September, you are more overtly sensual in your image.
Happiness: Ditch people who drain your Qi or otherwise take your goodness for granted. Artistically, it’s time to put it out there. Anticipate dramatic changes in friendships, with some surprise re-entries back into your life. Bizarre but brilliant alternative health practices benefit beauty, well-being and peace of mind. Many of you are clucky, having babies and/or loving chez Virgo and family life more than ever. From July, you reinvent yourself as a biz whiz.
Love: It’s your absolute most officially lucky phase for true love in 12 years. For the first time since 1998, you have got lucky Jupiter gracing your relationship sector. The optimal times for love: January 18 till June 6 and then September onward. Existing partnerships are blessed – you two can definitely profit together. Solo Virgos meet a new person who is extremely good for you, an official ‘catch’ and adoring of you. A positive attitude helps unlock the luck.
Style: As your appreciation for gorgeous clothes and cosmetics testifies, Libra is the archetypal sign of beauty. In 2010, you have Saturn in your sign to contend with. This is your cosmic cue to add in a strategic element to image and grooming. Self-control and planning bring brilliant results when aligned with your natural-born feminine prettiness. Saturn also signifies investment jewellery and the desire to measure time with a meaningful watch.
Happiness: Saturn in your sign only happens once every 29 years, prompting you to unleash courage and a steelier persona onto those who would underestimate you. Don’t let them mistake your incredible charm for weakness. You enjoy fabulously transformative home stars and the chance to radically alter chez Libra so that it is far more you. Jan and July coincide with significant shifts in real estate, your key residence, attitudes to family and décor concepts.
Love: A mid-year love quake may manifest as a surprise suitor or your sudden yearnings to be emancipated. This astro-passage only occurs once every 84 years and it’s affecting you from June. Think fast change, a thrilling romantic life and unconventional relationships. eg; A way younger lover, someone who lives far away. However this plays out, expect that your boredom threshold is going to be much lower. Pity the person who tries to fence you in.
Style: Scorps are either witches skulking in sheep’s clothing – yoga wear, urban warrior conservative office uniform – or they’re insanely charismatic and dramatic. With macho Mars dominating your public image sector until June, you now switching to full stun mode 24-7. Think in terms of your cosmic colours –blue and purple – with extreme design that only you could carry off. You’re adept at scent warfare and topaz is your personal powerstone.
Happiness: You’re ultra-fertile, both mentally and physically. Kids play a magical role in your life and you in theirs. You get off more than ever on your world, becoming a bona-fide life enhancer. Money merde fades from February and you enjoy a pioneering new sense of ease in career realms. June onwards is about awesome work opportunities and the chance to operate from a position of hyped freedom, if not total autonomy. You’re taking charge & feeling hot.
Love: From January 18, you have auspicious Jupiter beefing up fun and romance. You also have a high chance of meeting thrill-seeker style guys chez work. Options are multiplying non-stop. Your new relationship mantra? More fun – less fear. But the most significant love developments actually occur from September and into early 2011, as Venus spends way longer than usual in your sign, a wonderful omen for happy times and true love.
Style: Gorgeous citizen of the world that you are, your signature style is ravingly eclectic. Yes, turquoise is your official and lucky stone but you’ll grab anything that takes your fancy and make it your own. The Sagg speciality is combining haute and low, to devastating effect. eg; faded old jeans with a diamond tennis bracelet. A long gown for dinner by the beach with sandy bare feet. You’re getting wealthier in 2010, all the better to manifest your unique vision.
Happiness: You are renowned for candour and this obviously does not make you the greatest corporate player in history. But this year you enjoy a far greater degree of basic smarts when it comes to biz and work situations. Use April to June for redefining your vocational stance and upskilling if appropriate. Sensational opportunities arrive in July; Be prepped. Any time from September is spectacular for a retreat or deeply personal journey of discovery.
Love: Late May through to mid-August is when the fun begins. Think: Sudden romance, lust at first sight and exciting trips undertaken in the name of love. From September, you are in a situation where your relationship life feels blended with spiritual pursuits. As your ruler, lucky Jove, is in the home sector, you’ve a huge chance of hooking up with a new love interest via your family or a childhood friend. It’s also a prime time for fertility and babies.
Style: Capricorn is cosmically blessed with beautiful bone structure, good taste and the ability to look younger with every year. Your gem is the gorgeous garnet and platinum your appropriately power-vibing metal. You are in Phoenix mode all year, particularly in February and it is time to slough off vestiges of out-moded routines, much-loved but no-longer-you accessories and wardrobe. Unclutter so that fresh energies of renewal can enter your life.
Happiness: Life gives you the chance to be absolutely and radiantly yourself. It’s individuation to the max. You crave to be appreciated for nothing less than your authentic self. This attitude permeates every aspect of your life. Tres deep and oddly enough, profitable. You attract like-minded peeps to work and play with. The Solar Eclipse in your sign on January 15 is major; your real New Year and the best starred time to set some serious goals.
Love: Relationships that are basically fake, for convenience, to show that you can ‘get’ someone or inequitable dissolve. You’re not interested in wasting time on go-nowhere flirtations or dysfunctional lovers. Oddly enough your empowered new boundary-setting has love interests falling over themselves to pursue you. If you are looking to meet someone, Sept to November is your zone and it will be a relationship of immediate significance and depth.
Style: You discover or create a signature style early on in life, and constantly retweak it to suit where you’re at right now. That’s the Aqua way. You’re always eco-conscious, avant-garde and trend-forward of course. Your serenity-enhancing stone is the Amethyst although if you could tile your bathroom-sanctuary in lapiz lazuli, you would. In this year of more demand for your expertise, organise your wardrobe so it’s auto-chic, no angsting on your part.
Happiness: Jupiter, the luckiest planet of all, is in your $$$ sector from January 18 to early June & then again from Sept 9 for the rest of the year. These phases coincide with magnificent money scenarios. It only occurs once every 12 years so do your utmost to co-operate with the cosmic largesse. In early June, Jupiter meets your patron planet Uranus. This is the best time in ages to launch a new enterprise or be daring in any regard whatsoever.
Love: Whilst a significant romance may seem to stall in the first few months of 2010, it is all back on track with Mars Direct on March 11. 2010 is a joyous and thrilling years for romance ever, especially April/May. Remember that this sort of astroscape, whilst exciting, does not so much favour steady and regular loving, as it does a surfeit of pleasure and fun. The New Moon on August 10 is your cue to clarify the direction of a relationship.
Style: Jupiter affords you far more options for lavish living than you have had in a while. So take advantage of these celestial blessings to better define your look. Think; fresh make-up strategies & the symbolic new beginning of an extreme lingerie makeover. The Piscean gem is the Aquamarine and all variations of the colour become you as well. The part of the body ruled by your sign is the feet; beautiful shoes are thus vital to spiritual wellbeing.
Happiness: Pluto in your Social Sector transforms every element of your friendships. People whom you thought would be in your life forever may fade out for a while and you form fantastic new connections with enviable ease and speed. If you can consciously think in terms of expanding your social networks, the benefits are unbelievable. Jupiter in Pisces is about your self-confidence and opportunities blossoming. You’re particularly prosperous in mid-2010.
Love: Since late 2007, you have been under the pump, learning untold love lessons, thanks to Saturn in the relationship sector. Now, apart from a little flashback from April to July, you’re done with angst and are ready to shift into a more fun and flowing romance reality. But keep the emotional self-reliance & sophistication you have picked up. Magical months for romance include Jan/Feb and from September onward and into January 2011.

Thank you for the wonderful write up on Cancer! I needed to here this today…xo
I LOVE how my horoscope validates my shoe shopping addiction – “The part of the body ruled by your sign is the feet; beautiful shoes are thus vital to spiritual wellbeing.” You sing it girl!
AH! Gala this is fabulous! I was just looking at this the other day and going back and forth in my head if I wanted to spend the money. That’s such a great deal!! :) Thank you!!!!
And after some stuff that went down last night, this is telling me that I should be patient…which I can do. so good.
I’m liking what’s in store for me :D “Social life brings career blessings. Amazing opportunities to do with overseas or academia, which were hinted at last year, transform your life unbelievably in 2010.” Bring iiit!
Gala, my Darling. When is your birthday?
I’ve always been somewhat of a skeptic. I’ve been interested in horoscopes and I will read them with an open mind. But I found it hard to believe that I shared the same fortune with X million amount of people.
However, after reading the Happiness bit for Pisces, I think my opinion has changed.
My childhood friend is moving across the country. Oddly enough I’ve been more involved with the community and an organization. I’m forming connections with people who would be beneficial to know for the career I’m pursuing.
And this is all in the first two weeks of the first month.
I may just have to get a subscription with Mystic Medusa.
TLC — 13th of September. Virgo with a bunch of planets in Leo & Sagittarius!
Kat — She is reaaaaaally amazing. Astrologers who know what they are doing are wonderful.
phoenix mode? i like it! :D
I don’t fault others who believe in these shenangians … but in all honesty, I definitely can’t BASE my day-to-day life’s decision, on “scritped information” that’s basically been created by MAN only! There’s a 99% chance that NONE of this is actually true!And 1% really doesn’t SET for a guarantee! How can someone tell you or teach YOU about LOVE, success, agrue (or whatever) thru “the stars aliging”? Seriously?! I mean people can’t BE that naive, can they? Maybe. Honestly, there is NO logic in it!
Tuesdai — Maybe so, but I think as long as the message is positive, there’s no harm in it.
Hey Gala! Thanks so much for the awesome horoscopes (and thanks to Mystic Medusa as well of course). I was wondering, do you still use EFT? I haven’t seen any mention of it as of late and I was just curious. I’ve been reading the guide and am going to start trying it out.
Thanks for sharing, Gala. How generous of you both! I’m feeling vindicated in my thought process of late after reading the “Happiness” section for Virgo. Good stuff.
Omg this year is such an exciting horoscope. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I’m really wondering though what she meant by “It’s your absolute most officially lucky phase for true love in 12 years. For the first time since 1998, you have got lucky Jupiter gracing your relationship sector.” Does that also mean for the upcoming 12 years i’m going to be in luck?
I’m a Taurus and I’ve always thought my birthstone was a diamond, not an emerald…
Totally spot on with the Love section though. It’s been a crazy past couple of months.
“Maybe so, but I think as long as the message is positive, there’s no harm in it.”
You’re exactly right. Who cares if astrology may not be perfectly correct? Not me. These are sending out positive, inspirational messages that are meant to guide you into becoming a better person. It isn’t the stars or the cosmos that make you better, it’s just you. And if astrology helps that…then yes, please!
Always thought horoscopes were just for fun, but reading mine (Libra) about the meaningful time piece, is so coincidental (or maybe not!) – I got a watch from my man for Christmas, with a band designed by one of my favorite artists! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite part of the new year – reading new horoscopes for the year!
“... beautiful shoes are thus vital to spiritual wellbeing.” Gosh, then I feel pretty sorry for the hundreds of millions of Pisceans living hand to mouth in developing countries. Guess they will never be spiritually well.
This is NOT advice I can take seriously.
Annabel — I’m pretty sure that was meant tongue-in-cheek!
I think these are some of the most down to earth horoscopes I’ve ever read! And damn straight I’m going to get my business on and then go on a personal journey in 2010!
xx
Hey Gala, how long does this deal last?
Also, you know, I’ve never read Mystic Medusa’s stuff before, so I could be wrong. But it seems pretty obvious to me that the comment about beautiful shoes for Pisces is made tongue in cheek. So can we find something more important to be upset about, hmm?
thank you so much, gala. this put me in a great mood. :]
Michelle — Oh, I don’t know! Indefinitely… ?! Maybe! I will ask & get back to you. xo
monica — Well you are so welcome!
I think with horoscopes, people need to remember that it’s a grand scheme of how life is predicted to play out, and how you interpret and use the good advice is more important than the advice being realistic/down-to-earth. It’s like dream interpretation, which is more about why you interpret dreams as you do, instead of a “this always means that” definition.
I love being a Leo
“Fate reconnects you with someone from your Past.”
NOOOO! This could go so badly, since I just moved back to New Orleans and all of my old flames & flings are crawling out of the woodwork. Let’s hope that someone from my past is just reconnecting the Faux Beau & I in a more serious way (finally!).
Oh! Take back those Nola Boys! “The main themes of your year is travel, long-distance love, the higher mind and realising your most visionary dreams.” Definitely the Faux Beau! ;D
Oh I’m so happy I was born right between scorpio and sagittarius… I can choose the best from two horoscopes!!!
(that’s how I read them: take the good words, and leave the rest… no need to “believe”, I create my reality, but I like me some positivity!)
Cheers Gala, and thank you (and thank Medusa also!)
PS
Sagg style tips really fit me! awesome!
Wow, people have been telling me that I am alot ‘harder’ in personality this year than I usually am. “Saturn in your sign only happens once every 29 years, prompting you to unleash courage and a steelier persona onto those who would underestimate you.” Thanks Gala I’m a big MM fan too, she’s always spot on. xx
Awesome. Thanks for the great deal on the price :) I’m all signed up & ready to learn some new things.
To the naysayers – I have to agree with Gala if it is positive then there can’t be too much harm & also I know things like this get me thinking in less habitual ways – which is always a plus!!
I bit the bullet and got it- why?
I’m not really sure, but I got 20 dollars in my Paypal account this morning, so I’ve decided it’s fate.
This is interesting, because I don’t know if I read into the whole astrology thing, but sometimes reading horoscopes they sound like they could be spot on. However, I’m born right on the cusp of Aries/Taurus so while I’m technically a Taurus sometimes I’m not sure what I should be looking at. For instance in the Taurus thing it says “Emerald is both your colour and birthstone”, however I’m born in April so actually my birthstone is diamond, because it goes by month, not star sign, right?
Anyway reading the Aries horoscope, in the love section it says, “An uncertain phase lingering since October 2009 ends in July and serious deepening of commitments is on your agenda” which is interesting because I had my heart broken in October and have still not put aside hope that it will work itself out. Is this a coincidence or should I be looking at the Aries horoscope as much as I look at the Taurus?
Thanks Gala! These are great :) I am actually about to have my first reading with Christopher from Soulgarden in a matter of minutes. So exciting!
Sorry to ask again Gala but I really want to know…Are you still using EFT and is it still working for you?
You are a GEM!
Darn right to that “pity the person that tries to fence you in” part on mine! Ha! Even more amusing is how it mentions changing up the place I live…well, I don’t live here at my boyfriend’s technically, but I’m here more than I’m at my own place, and I have been cleaning and redecorating and doing random home improvements like crazy, haha. I’m a justified Libra. What’s even more awesome about this is that I was browsing her site not two days ago and hovering my mouse over that “subscribe” button, but something told me to hold off for the moment. Intuition strikes again! You guys are awesome!
I’m loving my Aquarius outlook, debating on buying those adorable knickers!
xxoo
Horoscopes sort of irritate me, but like Marmaduke I keep reading them.
Some stuff does match up, but it can be so vague that it applies to anyone.
I liked mine, and I like horoscopes too (well.. sometimes!). cheers =)
What makes you belive in them so strongly? Was there some information you were given that made you never doubt them?
I think there is some truth in them, for instance, character traits but I find it hard to apply something aimed at millions exactly to myself. I suppose they’re just little nudgers that people under that sign can especially benefit from.
‘appy new year =)
I like my horoscope a WHOLE lot.
Fertility & children could easily be an issue this freaks me out a bit but its sort of exciting and I’ve been thinking about finishing school and then applying to med school, but the other side of my Gemini mind loathes anything coventional and i’ve been teetering more of being creative and doing what I truly want.
Ever since my sis-in-law opened me up to your colorful world I feel 10x better everytime I stop by, we have a lot in common. Thanks for being you
!!! ♥
the style section is totally right! it is the exact direction i have been taking my style in. it all sounds really excellent.
this made me excited for 2010 all over again!! thank you so muuuch ♥ ♥ ♥
