You know the sort of shopping trip where you meander around in a vague snit, nothing fits nor even appeals & then you wind up buying some shite you don’t need or that you already have 1000 of?  eg; for me with my Moon in Libra, it would be an existential fashion crisis followed by the purchase of pricey exfoliant.

Well, that sort of day is today: Dark Moon and Retrograde Mercury are quite enough on their own but then when we add in Retro-Mars-Bats it becomes a brilliant folly of hideocrity. Mars Retro in LEO – sign of snazzy sequins, showstopper heels, make-up to ensure that even peeps in the very back row of the huge theatre can see how pretty you are, iconic coats, attempted emulations of celebrities, ironic vulgarity, statement jewellery, applique – could send you into must-havery over something you will absolutely hate later.

Think more Must-Have-Not.  New hair? Nooooooo.

“I’m all about target shopping.   I know what I need and, and I go and find i t. I’m a Capricorn so I’m a fast shopper. I’m not someone who says ‘let’s spend the entire day shopping’. For me, it isn’t a leisure pursuit.”  Kate Bosworth

True or False?  I think Capricorns are usually GOOD shoppers – they don’t tend to dither around, wasting time and buying naff crap in emo fits of freak-outs or feeling over-whelmed. But they can be weird.

I had a Capricorn boyfriend once who would NEVER shop. It was like he had a shopping disorder. He was skin-flinty to the point of insanity. I have never known a cheaper man. If there was a deemed necessity to go out and buy something such as food for eating (i am not talking about organic quinoa blinis with caviar folks) he would scrounge around the kitchen, just in case there was an option of making something edible with vegemite, 12 pasta spirals he could blow the dust off and the limp zucchini. He earned loads of $$$, just could not bear to spend it – except on guitar stuff (he was a muso) and pornography. It didn’t last long, this thing. AND i am not saying he typical of Capricorn men AT ALL.

But, o.m.g. this is all coming back, I know of ANOTHER Capricorn male and we were not lovers but he wound up as my house guest for weeks on end, cheerily consuming my food etc. Finally I nervously suggested he contribute something to the proceedings (I was less assertive then, it was before Pluto had helpfully trined my Mercury in Aries) and first he sulked, then he bitched it up a bit and then he begrudgingly presented me with a travel pack of laundry sachets. So six little teensy sample size things of laundry powder. This from a guy who was bunging through two loads a day. Odd, no?
