I love that Rick Owens has hair extensions and stack boots & says he’s inspired by things such as “fog” “Barbara Streisand” and “K.I.S.S.” And he’s quotable too:
“Working out is the the modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothes and go to the gym instead. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive….Isn’t it more chic to be free?”
But what sign is the guy? All i can find online is that he is born in 1962…He vibes very Air so maybe a Libra, Aqua or Gemini – he could be a Scorpio with Aqua Rising? There was actually a whole lot of multiple conjunct Aquarians born in 1962. Maybe he is one of them?? And any thoughts on his philosophy?

First thought on photo before reading text – Aqua-aqua
maybe with a bit of Sagg??? -
FF, I am feeling the Sagg/Leo vibe courtesy of his hair and the way he seems to be confidently just loping along in all his fabulosity.
-
Sagittarius thirded!
-
He’s amazing!! I hope he’s an Aqua starlet, what a compliment to our species!
-
he IS a bit scorpy looking but who is more body conscious than a Virgo? Then again, those high heels are so nostalgic so must be some Kataka in there – maybe he has Mercury in Kataka, Sun in Virgo with Scorp Rising and Moon in Libra (because, darlings, he is a designer)…??
-
Airy sagg?
He creeps me out.
-
ooooo me too!
The boots and the hair.
-
-
I reckon Aries. And he’s modelled himself on Paul Stanley from KISS.
-
Ja, Aries. He has this faux animal tribal industrial thing going. And muscles are very Aries.
I like ‘fog’ as inspiration comment!
-
-
Sagg or Aries ?
-
I feel that he’s maybe a Sagg. You know always moving and active.
My guess is Sagg sun/Aqua Rising/Libra Moon. Because, as Taurean Alchemist said “he IS a designer” haha -
Ewwww, ewwww & ewwww!
-
The scary part is he has the same physique as my partner (!) Archer with Aqua Moon & Taurus rising…I reckon the fog/fashion thing alludes to a strong Neptune in Scorp? & some ‘ntrestin Pisces stuff.
-
I totally felt a Scorpionic vibe to look at him, could be an Aries with that fine forehead, I reckon a Libran moon would be nice addition to that combo with lots of Aqua wierdness to back it up… What are the most crazy Goths anyway? Marilyn Manson is Cappy.
-
you know, great bone structure in that face, i think Cap might be a big part of it – and that no-nonsense fashion advice about getting the physique sorted first. I wish I could say piscean influence but I don’t think so this time. Well not as much as other influences….definitely Sagg something. Maybe a 5th (creative) or 8th (intense i guess) sagg-ness. plus some “f*ck the norm” vibe in there, that’s the pisces part i’d like to nominate but could equally be aries or aqua. the Scorp just for the strong wierdness (good wierdness of course)
-
-
i totally get some sagg there- the body first, fashion second thing is very sagg, and its actually completely my philosophy, which is why i spend copious amounts at le gym, and less on clothes. but his actual ‘look’ is so scorp. i dont pick up alot of air at all, but those buff arms mixed with gothic long hair/heels says to me sagg with scorp rising? or some kind of combo.
-
but he is very unappealing to me…so def. not a typical sagg!
-
But I can just see the centaur missing bits attached to that body – looking very saggo but with an aquarian type smirk that reminds me of my first love – an aquarian. Also maybe some cappy with long face and bone structure.
-
should have said “And I can see”
Also shoes are hoof-like to me.
-
lol, yeah i didnt really notice that before, but they are a bit hoof like!
-
-
-
-
-
yeah what saggigal said.
hes got a bit of 90s john galliano going on. as for his philosophy. mmm. why do people never say go and labour more in the fileds or carry more shopping home for old ladies or dig potatoes up. i always think gyms are such energy graveyards.
-
Oh gawd Aqua I’m with you there, EXACTLY what I thinking! Everytime I see men that are buffed but never done a days hard work I think that, I just can’t get turned on by them.
-
-
Sagg Centenarian messy vibe.
-
I’m willing to put money on it… this guy is a Capricorn!
-
Maybe it’s my Venus in Taurus. This guy is not kissable to me. So, he’s a STOP sign…That’s all I can come up with…
-
he’s into guys SP…..& he is so totally red H.O.T……truly……..
-
Well, now that I know he’s into guys I feel safe…. :0 Joking, but read he’s bi also.
Did look him up to get him from other angles pix wise. To me, he’s not outright ug, just not my type. I like manly men without the extentions. I mean when I put my hands on someone’s head I want to feel the real deal not some messy junk.. Guess thats my Aries preference as well (the head thing…).
I imagine that he has these nicely developed biceps but skinny, little spindly legs. Could be wrong of course but see it all the time esp. at the gym where guys over develope the upper while neglecting the lower. Perhaps some just don’t have symmetry which is important to my Taurus Venus aesthetic.
Just my thoughts. But if you like him, hey, go girl!! Girl loves who she loves
-
SP – am long known round these parts to NOT dig buff, waxed etc etc – it’s just this guys is SUCH a super talent…..
where I live the guys are ripped c / surfing, beer, sun & more surf!
-
Well, talent wise then, okay!!! He’s an Aries…he,he
-
-
-
-
-
My guess
Saggo with aqua rising
the long hair is a characteristic of the hippy saggo BUT not straightening so im guessing Aqua rising
ps. No dude should ever wear heels like that
ouch -
sun gemini/ venus aqua/ mars leo
-
Rick Owens is famed for being a virgo, isnt he? his anal approach to clothing design and dark earthy colours get offset by his rigorous approach to exercise and his ‘california king’ sized furniture designs….stubborn as a mule in his taste. hes also got that famed virgo appreciation for shock and the grotesque….he used to hang out in tranny hustler bars
-
No Tom Ford is famed for being a Virgo.
Rick Owens has left no trail of his birthdate or i don’t think mystic woudl have put it up here.
No virgo could do hair like that or shoes like that. And my dear poor Nico – where do you get the idea virgos like th e grotesque? -
This reminds me of a story back in ‘61 that all children born after ‘62 would be karma free.
Born with sun & 5 planets in Aquarius is sure a lot of Aqua in ‘62 charts.
The consensus seems to be Sagg, but he doesn’t attract me, so maybe not:)
Do like his style tho’…………maybe Aries. -
I looooove that quote. I vote Aquarius!
-
he has a horse face “look” most sag and aries I know have some I will say he is a saggie because he’s looks kinda sloppy. If he was an aries he would look a bit cleaner.
-
He’s super contradictory, so I’ll go for Gem or Aqua: Bagging fashion whilst raking in serious $$$ from it, saying expression through clothing is pass agg while putting together super constructed pieces, looks like both a gym junkie and a junkie…A walking head trip.
Plus Sagg rising with the talk of freedom and his obvious love of physical exercise/expression.
-
first thots – leo moom – the hair ! and the boots give him that french louis vive but i am with the cap vibe at any rate. the thinness the eternal youthfulness
-
sorry meant to say before i belted myself off the cheekboneryness !
-
but waits theres more !
cap. there is quite a studied casualness about this look – just from the stance.
-
two things – i found an article written in 2002 which states .. two months short of his 41 birthday .. and that was published 1 sep 02 so that might make him a libra scorp ? if the article was written in aug ? speculative
also i would like say
THANK YOU MYSTIC for always having such interesting posts and folks because certainly you expand my horizons – i had never heard of steampunk before or this guy either and in fact of many of the peeps featured !also thus ….
Long straight hair, dyed black, framed his face, which is dominated by large dark eyes; he looks uncannily like Iggy Pop. Once, when he was asked by an interviewer to name his “teenage desire,” Owens, who is bisexual, replied, “To (fqk) Iggy Pop.” Having failed in that goal–”I met Iggy only once,” he told me, “in a tacky Mexican drag bar in L.A.: a little, shrivelled, ugly guy on the dance floor with an Asian woman. But that’s the way to meet him”–Owens did his best, he explained, “to turn into Iggy Pop.” This ambition extended beyond straightening and dying his hair, which is naturally curly and prematurely white.
x bubble
-
wow bubble, I thought he looked like Iggy Pop too, but like his head had been tacked on to a less drug fuqed body. Nice research.
-
in this order:
1. HOT!!
2. Aries
3.or whatever sign Iggy Pop is…aries cusp tauroHOT!!
xox-
I’d totally wear the clothes, but draw the line at shaving my eyebrows.
-

-
hey why dont we just email and ask him ? !!!
anyone up for that ? are there rules about doing that on the internet ? ie if we all talk about “someone” does the “someone” politely pretend it is happening in a parellel universe and not really about them ? or can we cross reference with the “someone” spoken about ? -
ok yes i have had three coffees today . he says he’s into routine, practical and sensible – sounds cap ! maybe virgo ?
-
A Cap for sure..
-
Soooo glad he’s NOT a Sagg!!!
A Sagg man could only look like he does by accidentally
putting on his girlfriend’s clothes as he jumped out of bed to dress
in the dark.
Cuban heels tho’ are very attactive on some men, RM Williams style or Texan.
Platforms on men remind me of Gary Glitter…. -
a libran i reckon
-
eew – he uses swansdown fur in his work…
http://www.hintmag.com/hinterview/rickowens/rickowens3.php
“What’s the most incredible fur you’ve worked with?
Last spring’s collection was all about swans and snakes because I’ve always been inspired by Marlene Dietrich’s famous swansdown coat. I was able to get swansdown from Caron, the French parfumier that’s the only place that still makes swansdown powderpuffs. When you touch it, your hand kind of goes numb because it’s so soft. We also made a hand-embossed mousseline handpainted with scales to simulate shed snakeskin. I would love to work with mouse skin. I think someone did it recently. I haven’t done it because Revillon would never, but Rick Owens might.” -
Vibes Libran to me.
-
Don’t know what sign he is but he’s revolting. Eeeeuuw!!
Looks like Fabio with that long hair. Not a fan of long hair on guys.
A Taurus perhaps – obsession with fur and all that’s tactile? -
He looks like Herman Munster and Steve Tyler’s love child but his design is truly beautiful – Virgo is in there for sure, either in Venus or Moon with all those clean lines and monochromatic tones. But with the black obsession and the edginess I’d say Scorp sun or asc. Scorp men can be bloody fugly but for some unknown reason one still finds oneself thinking about shagging them. Go figure. OR def could be Aries as referenced by bubble and RLP due to likeness to Arians Iggy and Steve above.
-
aries chutzpa!
-
-
yes – after reading about the snake and swan skin obsession would say there was some scorp in there with the libra.
…but even more interesting than him is his wife michelle lamy who seems pretty out there too.
-
his looks and words remind me very much of (a slightly cleaner version) a scorpy goth artist/ rockstar/ model i met in NYC on one of the nights my saturn return went exact! scorp action fo sho.
-
Yah he is very interesting…..
I love his philosophy & have been practicing it over the last few years. My jeans do exactly the same thing….
I’m sure if he turned around there would be a little crack showing… lol
Strength & freedom, I would hope he is a gemini
