* A D.I.Y. Chanel Paper Bag, as seen at the Milan Fashion Fair or something – that is SO achingly Pluto in Cap…The Craft edge, the ironic homage to a luxury brand. Are the days of mag headlines/coverlines a la “Must-Haves” or “You’ve Gotta Have It” or “To Die For” gone forever? The word luxury means “of the light” – is it being redefined? Uranus is heading into Aries soon – super D.I.Y. – and the last time Uranus was there, this was written - still SO relevant & inspirational…

* The Sagg Kickboxer says the Fitness Industry, as opposed to most others, is UP 30% this year. Why? People cannot afford to be hungover and non-alert so they relax via endorphins from exercise as opposed to the pub? Survival of the fittest? They are so stressed they need to go and bash up a boxing bag to feel okay?  Guilt/Motivation from Saturn in health-aware Virgo?

* I always knew those Easter Island statues (soz, Rapanui) were hiding something with that inscrutable smirk of theirs. And now it seems that the SOIL on the place harbours a potential life-extension miracle substance which, if it pans out, means that soon 120 will be the new 80. Or something. Will this mean peeps such as Madonna will turn their attention to this area? Would an Easter Island/Rapanui Mud Pack Masque be the go?

* The Solar Eclipse Astro-Queries are coming along nicely – it is SO much more fun for me to get the charts already sent…I just open & gaze at the patterns. Bliss. I am aiming to have them all out by Monday afternoon Sydney timezone…So that you have time to prep. If you are not getting one, then there is the very simple version of how to prep for the Solar Eclipse on July 21/22…Before then, get rid of all THIS:

    Ive always been drawn to easter island and those statues, I believe that those statues where sculpted by the natives to remember visitors to our planet by 5th dimensional beings from Arcturus, call me crazy but Ive seen similar images in my meditations for years….

          Easter Island is as FAB as you could imagine. It is far and away the best place I’ve ever been that TOTALLY lived up to my expectations and excitement. Those statues are something else.

    i cant speak for anyone else but my gym membership became a ‘must have’ this yeat- it no longer even remotely falls into the ‘indulgence’ category. for me, it is the whole virgo/cap/saturn/pluto feel- full on pragmatism (definitely the ‘cant afford to get sick/be lazy/etc) mixed with a need to channel the brute realism that pounds like waves on my life from every direction. back when i felt more footloose and fancy free, a walk on the beach and some yoga would have been enough. no more! now i not only an a regular at the gym, the classes and styles of workouts i do are intense, with lots of sprinting and lots of resistance training. leaves me focused, strong and on top of everything, rather than in some endorphin bliss haze.

      Saggigal, EXACTLY. Me a Sagg also.

      Walks on the beach, casual bike rides – blah blah. Now I’m this uber zealot. If it’s possible for a zealot to be any more uber. Go to boot camp three times a week, the gym twice a week with another friend, then another two or three times a week it’s full-on stair climbing, hill pounding stuff. It’s great!

      What’s especially terrific about it is that it’s slowly reawakening my zest for other stuff as well.

      Despite having to cut costs in other areas, the $$ for the fitness classes are sacred in 2009.

    Who wants to live to 120?! Honestly? It all becomes so bloody boring after 80 doesn’t it? I for one don’t want to be lugging myself and all it’s emo & physical baggage around past 80. I’m guessing I’ll be pretty sick of life & myself by then and looking forward to a little lay down before shooting down that canal out out for round 15165465 of life!

    I think that the paper bag thing is AWESOME! totallt into that right now!

    getting fit has never really been a priority for me i just love being active (not fit – big difference! lol) and being “fit” just sorta became the by product you know?

    this ageing pill… wow! it seems fitting though, that some of the few places on earth that human kind has not yet “touched” or harmed, produce some of the earths greatest secrets/miracles!

    It is probably all just a conspiracy to get peeps like Madonna to FUND the research so they can discover the SECRETS OF ARCTURUS. DavidL if there were powerful and astute aliens in our midst, they would have contacted ME by now – for my contacts, my open mind and blend of youthful spontaneity with mature guile. I Would love to meet a hot Arcturian alien who says i am a diety on his planet and with one granule from Easter island restores my teen age metabolism and skin tone.

    AND i think the bag is a hoot. But i have friends who would look upon it the way the Pope might think of Damien Hirst’s Piss Christ sculpture.

    I personally would never be caught with anything that broadcasted the label “Chanel” “Lulu Lemon” “D&G.” It just seems so shallow. Although the craftiness is right up my alley.
    And frankly, of course the Easter Island heads have got something special! That island is probally one of the most mysterious places on earth. Still, pretty awesome

    I LOVE the irony of that bag, so funny. How much was that? Next to nothing compared to a real Chanel which could probably fund a mini makeover of a child’s bedroom?

    Personally I am treating ANY exercise I undertake as essential to the demands of my emerging Warrior Queen Status, one does not burn simply to lay lamely amongst the ashes, no? As rising requires serious muscle and no nonsense strength…so is not so much the dogged discipline por moi but support for the impending next 15 years of my life.

    Having insane dreams certainly motivates one to bolster defenses… and I have been having loads of those – there was one where Le Scorp was being hunted down by ye olde mob (as a bigamist would), we were in a garden in front of a house, and he laid himself upon the ground as we heard them thundering nearer, pulled me right on top of him and POOF! we vanished underground just like that, in a flash I was entombed underneath with him yet it felt oddly warm… or the latest one where we were in some government office doing forms and under “marital status” he noted “victim”.

    If I didn’t work out, I’d be wearing a designer straight jacket I think.. oh and btw, has anyone seen the Easter Island webpage requesting visitors to please NOT take home chunks of rock with them? As apparently peeps do this as souvenirs and after the request was made, those who had purloined pieces actually have mailed it back… from all over the world.

        Uber babe, no I was actually laying on top of him, not face to face when we sank into the earth. And it was the weirdest feeling of being buried in this deep place yet comforted that he was so warm, it was almost like the soil had turned liquid and we were breathing it…

            Mega-Plutonic Scorp Beaut! Definitely…and chesh, I think it really speaks more of a level of acceptance in a situation that isn’t at all easily acceptable yet obviously belongs to me. But yes, it did feel that way!

            And the oddest thing was that I remember feeling relieved in the dream, though I had zero anxiety regardless of the clamoring mob down on its way to us. It was like breathing out in a black hole.

        3. Über Virgo’s avatar

          I worried over nothing. Pardon me, fa, I didn’t read your description properly. Yes, very Plutonic, but it sounds like you’ve come to a level of comfort with it.

          That reminds me of a dream I had of someone I lost. He didn’t die, but for various reasons we couldn’t be together including that he lives in a different country. He was very soulful and a beautiful soul at that. In the dream, he disappeared underground, into the earth and gravel and I couldn’t follow him. I was left above ground, high and dry.

            Oh Uber, that is so poignant and certainly distance can feel like death, specially for those whom our hearts call home even when for all practical reasons, it is not so. I truly feel how painful that must have been.

            I know it’s often said that time heals wounds and they do, but it doesn’t erase the memories. Those remain sharp as ever, and if we’re lucky, we will remember more of the good than the bad.

            I’m not sure if I can use the word comfort haha, but I have acquired the necessary flame retardants perhaps?? haha… No, it is really that I am honoring my reality, because it is only through acceptance that I could ever hope to transform it.

    OK, this is soo off topic, soz Mystic, just have to vent!!

    Picked up a new release dvd as sans kids tonight: “The Last Word” with Winona Ryder, Wes Bentley and Ray Romano. It is the crappiest movie. Worst of all is winona, completely off her face – she seems drunk but I’m not a drugs expert, she could be stoned. She is almost unrecognisable – is it drugs or botox or what. What the fuq happened to her since I last heard of her shoplifting charge, and she’s got tits, I remember her a diminutive!!. Disgrace that they can fob this off at new release prices, but really D grade crap. I only paid $3 but what a disappointment. Do any of you US people (or anyone) have info on her :-(

      Ok, probably judged too soon, second half not so bad, Winona seems sober and plot better. Lesson: shut up until it’s over, which it’s not. Still why did Winona get breast implants???!!!

        i think they’re natural FF. Even way back when she was really popular I remember thinking, gee she has pretty big bosoms for someone so petite.

        Shame it was a crap movie. I like Wes Bentley

          scorpalicious something seemed off about her cleavage, you know in that uneven bad boob job thing. Wes Bentley is cute but in this movie he’s wooden.

            I have to say I find your rant really funny, I do think the funniest things set people off. I get a case of the OCD with certain things such as not being able to stand small paper clips, little things like that I feel are what make people interesting.

            But I agree with Scorpalicious, Winona’s always been endowed that way, I think I noticed that even in Heathers.

          2. fluid feline’s avatar

            Ok so maybe there is consensus re they’re her boobs but still massive disappointment in the drugged and botoxed look and crap movie, I guess I was just looking forward to a good movie.

            Your Virgo rising would be involved with your OCD for sure – and another likeness to my son – he too has Virgo rising which can make him quite fastidious about some things, which I quite (except when he’s arguing with me, then it becomes nit-picking!)

            Don’t even get me started on the little things that bug me.

    Speaking of Chanel, has anyone seen the movie, “Coco”? I loved it. Audrey Tautou is excellent. I want to be able to pout like her.
