2009 The Aquarian year

March 4, 2009 14 Comments Filed Under: Uncategorized

This year Jupiter, which traverses a sign each year, will transit Aquarius. Neptune is already in Aquarius and has been for a few years and Chiron is there too. You could argue that the Age of Aquarius starts this year, or at least you get a bit of a taster.

What is happening this year? Social networking sites are exploding. Facebook are having problems with their terms and conditions, they tried to change them giving them rights in perpetuity over any material (text, messages, notes, photos, videos) you may have posted up. Twitter is all over the press…a global text conversation. 
Social networking via the Internet, communication without intimacy, without commitment, is about as Aquarian as it gets. “I love you all just don’t get too close!” 
Dating via the Internet is no longer a source of shame and embarrassment. I’ve done it loads this year. It doesn’t seem to work. I have the ability to fall in love with a pixel, but the reality is crushing. My experiences with internet dating are worthy of a whole blog in itself.
Neil Spencer, the Observer astrologer, who is helping me develop an astro-menu for the 28th of March, gave a talk at the Company of Astrologers last week. 
Most astrological gatherings do tend to be populated by “women of a certain age, wearing purple”. Neil is a rare breed, a male astrologer. (Of course, like chefs, they tend to be more visible professionally but the vast majority of astrologers are women, just like most cooking is done by women). 
The Company of Astrologers is no different; row upon row of hawk-eyed witches stroking their hairy moles whilst peering into the future. Forget girl power. Hag power!
Neil is a stand-up comic of astrology…he does accents, jokes and impersonations in his talks. Here are my notes on his talk:
In the Age of Aquarius, everything will be great, we will all be hippies, it will be a new age of enlightenment. Well it won’t be. It will have it’s murky side too. 
  • Nazi Germany is Aquarian, the chart of the third reich is 30/1/33 at 11.15 am. The shadow side of Neptune conjunct Jupiter is catastrophe and death. Saturn in the 10th of this chart…meaningless orders…from Adolf Hitler.
  • The French Revolution 10/8/1792 Pluto in Aquarius at 22 degrees in the 7th house. The dark side of equality. 
The world wide web has an affinity with Aquarius. Every corporation in the world is saying ‘how did we not spot this coming and control it all?’.
The world wide web has revolutionised our world. (Look how many billions were lost last week when googlemail went down. We are totally dependant.)
Neil presented a list of famous Aquarians…lots of scientists (Galileo, Copernicus), politicians, writers (Lewis Carroll, Dickens, Joyce, Miler, Greer, Woolf, Chekhov, Verne) playwrights,  but few popstars(and of course the genre is punk… John Lydon/Rotten and Malcolm Maclaren ) or poets (Byron).
 Aquarius is also the sign of psychology…dispassionate analysis, voyeurism. 
This is Darwin’s year, another Aquarian. But Darwinism is a tremendously cynical doctrine which has led, arguably, to eugenics.
The United States has an Aquarian moon. More of it’s presidents are Aquarian than any other sign…Reagan, Lincoln, Roosevelt. Nixon and JFK had Aquarian moons. 
Oprah Winfrey is an über Aquarian as is Sarah Palin. 
In fact the U.S. constitution is Aquarian in itself…the whole idea of human rights had never before existed prior to the discovery of Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius in 1781, the same year as the final American victory over Britain.
Neil goes into an aside about the links between Sagittarius, Science Fiction and space travel.
Mars is also transiting Aquarius. 19.32 Aquarius is the degree of Flight. Has anybody noticed how many plane and helicopter crashes there are at the moment?
The Conservatives have their Jupiter return this year (perhaps why they are feeling so expansive and community minded? see post below)
The discovery of Neptune heralded the arrival of photography, the telephone, the phonograph, the age of sewers. 
Interesting note: the moon was in Scorpio at the discovery of all three outer planets.
This year will be about Obama, public service and corporate criminals. 
The ‘Madoff’ scandal is very Pluto in Capricorn and he will not be the last to be exposed.
Questions:

Is Obama a tyrant? 

Neil: No I dont think so. I think he is actually that rare thing ‘a good man’. An extraordinary politician. 

Neil continues: There are only six signs. The first six. The rest are versions of the first six. For instance a Libran is just an Arian with better manners.
While Leo are me, me, me….Aquarius is us, us, us. But within every Aquarian there is a Leo trying to get out. Neil also remarked that Aquarians often have big wavy hair. 
The Pluto/Neptune conjunction in the 1890s through to World War I. produced artists such as T.S.Eliot, Tolkein, Nash and Spencer, who were all in the trenches. The Germans on the other side, took that same experience and made a hell of it.
Another thing to watch out for this year is inflation with the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction.
Atheist buses…very Aquarian. Obama is a believer. You cannot have an American president that doesn’t believe in God.
I remark that Obama included non-believers in his inauguration address. Somebody else in the audience remarked that in contrast Blair had to hide his faith from the British public. 

“It’s not the done thing to believe in anything here” she said.

The astrologer Adam Smith notes that “Lincoln and Darwin were born on the same day of the same year. Both have Saturn conjunct Neptune in Sagittarius. Time twins.”

Neil: There is also Chiron in Aquarius this year. There is always pain with Chiron.
My advice to Aquarians is that ethics count this year. Behave and you will prosper. Put your ideals on your sleeve.
I can’t remember how it happened but somebody noticed that I was sending messages on my iPhone.

“Yes I am twittering this talk.” I admit.

Crone heads swivel towards me looking inquisitive and curious. I explain what I’m doing.

 “You are pirating my talk” Neil says with an amused glint in his eye, for he used to be the editor of the New Musical Express.

“No I’m publicising your talk. Sharing it, globally”.

This roomful, constellation of astrologers looks pleased. Despite their age, they are intensely interested in the future. 

“I’m so glad you brought Aquarius into the room” remarks one older lady to this particular Aquarian “very appropriate”.

    Excellent, hahaha! You MUST start up your internet dating blog, hilarious!

    The Aquarius thing fascinates me. It is initially attractive but fundamentally unfulfilling, like several Aquarian men I've been out with. Not naming any names…

    Neil Spencer isn't as tough as you'd expect an NME editor to be. I think Birchill and Paarsons stomped all over him when they were there with him…. But he's a nice guy. Last time I ran into him was in a toilet at the BBC after we'd been on some Radio 5 show about politics and pop, with Billy Bragg, some guy from Gene and various others… so you can tell it was a long time ago….

    Neil Spencer is a Libran, therefore is very fair.
    He recognises talent, as in Burchill (not mad about Parsons frankly. Don't like his Fathers for Justice side and his nastiness about the Portuguese during the McCanns affair).
    Neil was one of the few to support me, as a teenage photographer at the NME.

    Ms Marms,

    There are times I love being dyslexic. The first two times I read your last post, I thought "I never knew Neil Spencer was a librarian".

    I thought "all that time in the library with Julie Burchill books". I used to work with a guy called Terry Brady, who had been Tony Parsons boss when Parsons had been a Computer Operator working for TSB Bank. That part of his career doesn't come up much.

    Sometimes I'm glad my brain doesn't work properly, it makes life so much more fun.

    By the way I'm a Leo born in the year of the Tiger (1962) – does that make me a pussycat or a monster?

    I don't know Neil Spencer well, you do, but I did get that feeling of fairness and decency from him, not what you expect to find in pop music circles but it's great he supported you as a teenage photographer. I'm sure he's much happier on the broadsheets than at the NME.

    And for those that couldn't tell, I'm sure Canal Explorer can, I'm an Aries, with plenty of youthful vigour, fire and passion – or to put it into the words of an old reggae song with a rocking tune and a singer whose name eludes me right now: "Like a Lion of Judah I'll strike my enemies down!"

    Where is the info on your 'Battle of the Beanfield' book?

    Yes, Gran Tourino a very good film, in my opinion; surprised an alleged 'anarchist' like yourself would think so, however. (You'd have to be blind not to notice the Catholicism.)

    You can check out BTB now, if you like. (Until I have another funny turn, of course, which probably won't be for another week at least.)

    Interesting developments in MM land, I notice… and MM Jr.

    Hope you're well.

    Hello – and thanks for popping by over at mine. I am an Aquarian and I have to say I do feel very focussed this year – more so than usual which is a miracle because usually my focus is being flung around everywhere like cake being thrown in a food fight!

    I'd like to find that book too, ML. I first heard about Bean Field in Jonathan Downes' satire "The Blackdown Mystery". I read it and realized that the battle was one of the defining moments of Western society, the ones in which the powers-that-be, when pushed into a corner, fly their true colours.

Tonight’s lockdown dinner with my bubble. Proper Tonight’s lockdown dinner with my bubble. Proper pesto alla genovese with trofie, small boiled salad potatoes, steamed green beans (good tip: steam the beans in a colander plopped on top of the potatoes or pasta), good quality pesto sauce ( mine from local microbakery @seansloaf ), good olive oil (@pomoragoodfood), torn fresh basil, a few pine nuts. This turns this student dish into a balanced meal of carbs, veg and a little protein.  It’s cold outside, I’ve lit the fire. Covid rages in Kilburn high road in north west london. The rate is 1 in 30 london wide but I feel it’s higher in this poor inner london area. We have a high BAME population who are particularly vulnerable. It’s a little bit anarchic on my high street: cars perched on kerbs waiting for hijabi women, braving pound shops and Aldi . We are all covered up now. In winter masks keep your face warm, but you have a choice between safety and being able to see. I’ve not managed to prevent the inevitable steaming up of my glasses when wearing a mask.

Galette des Rois, made yesterday in 12th night. Mi Galette des Rois, made yesterday in 12th night. Minus Crown and king as I cannot find either. This one is made with Tonka bean. Plus homemade puff pastry (well worth the effort). According to ike delorenzo at The Atlantic:  The tonka bean, a flat, wrinkled legume from South America with an outsize flavor that the US government has declared illegal. Nonetheless, it proliferates on elite American menus. The tiniest shavings erupt in a Broceliande of transporting, mystical aromas.
The taste of the tonka bean is linked strongly to its scent. "Scents," I should say, as the tonka bean has many at once. I register the aromas of vanilla, cherry, almond, and something spicy—a bit like cinnamon. When served cold—say, in tonka bean ice cream—the taste is like a vanilla caramel with dark honey. When warm, perhaps shaved over scallops, it moves toward spiced vanilla. Additionally, the aroma of the tonka bean shavings (it's almost always shaved) is so affecting that it seems like an actual taste in the way that opium, which has no taste in the traditional sense, "tastes" like its rich, flowery smoke.  Here is the recipe: 

Tonka bean galette des rois

Serves 8
Ingredients
* 140 g caster sugar
* 125 g salted butter, softened
* 100 g ground almonds
* 2 eggs, medium
* 1 tonka bean, grated
* 2 packs ready made butter puff pastry on a roll
* 1 yolk for brushing the pastry
Instructions
* Preheat your oven to 200c.

* Blend the butter with the sugar then add the almonds. Make sure it’s well mixed. Add in the 2 eggs one at a time, then add the tonka bean.

* If using a block: divide the puff pastry into two and roll out to 5mm thick. 
* Make two circles about 15 cm’s each in diameter. Lay one circle on a silicone mat/parchment paper on a baking tray and fill with the almond cream leaving a 3 cm border around the edge. 
* Paint the border with the egg yolk. Then lay the other circle on top, sealing the edges with a fork. 
* You could then carve designs into the top. Make a little slit in the middle to let steam escape then brush the top with the egg yolk

Agedashi tofu for New Year’s Day. With a vegan d Agedashi tofu for New Year’s Day. With a vegan dashi stock, it’s perfect for veganuary. How to make dashi: put a piece of kombu seaweed in water. Soak for half an hour then simmer for half an hour (don’t let it boil). Then mix 2 cups of dashi with 2 tbsps of mirin and 2 of soy sauce.  For the tofu: press soft tofu with weights for half an hour, then cut into cubes. Dust all over with cornflour.  Then deep fry the tofu cubes in 180C veg oil until they float. Set aside to drain, then place say 3 cubes in small bowl. Pour the sauce around and top with spring onion and daikon and togarashi 7 spice.  #easypeasyvegan #veganuary #agedashitofu #tofu #japaneseveganrecipe #newyearsday #freshstart #supperclub #londonsupperclub #msmarmitelover #visforvegan #recipe
Writing about tofu which I think has an unfair rep Writing about tofu which I think has an unfair reputation in this country. It’s so flexible and is a brilliant flavour sponge. Here I’m preparing my soft tofu for a Japanese dish: agedashi tofu. I first pressed it in a clean tea towel with a weight on top to firm it up a bit but not too much. Then I dusted it with cornflour and I will deep fry it in oil. Then I will serve it in a broth of dashi/mirin and tamari sauce, sprinkled with finely chopped spring onions and togarashi pepper from Japan. I would usually add some finely mandolined daikon radish but couldn’t find any. It’s a subtle dish of texture: soft yet crispy. After Christmas I’m desperate for light zingy fresh flavoured food. #supperclub #tofu #vegan #vegetarian #agedashitofu #newyearsday #cookingagain #lunch #asian #japanesefood

It’s often about moving on whether through death, a change of circumstances, moving country, loss of a job. Today I visited a gorgeously renovated Edwardian house where the owners, an antique dealer & a master decorator had died with 18 months of each other of cancer.  The sister was there emptying the house, an incredibly painful experience. The husband who died was an expert in putting up lincrusta wallpaper which I’ve pictured here. All that craftsmanship and knowledge lost now.  The piece I got on Sunday, the teal chinoiserie cabinet, was from a Spanish guy returning to Spain. He’d lost his job as a hotel manager, the hotel, a big one, has now closed. The marble coffee table and arepas grill was from a Spanish couple who’d had a restaurant here for 40 years. They are now returning to Spain. Other slides: green Edwardian fireplace tiles, William Morris wallpaper, 2 small scalloped coffee tables, a knife and fork cutlery hook set.
