The Walking Man by Giacometti has broken the world mega-bucks $$$ record in sculpture, selling to an anonymous bidder over the telephone for $104 million US. You know how it is, when you have a few drinks and there is a lot of Aquarius action in the air. You VALUE art for fuqs sake.

The sculptor is a Libran but i’m betting he had s-loads of Saturn going on in his chart as a lot of his work looked like this. And I couldn’t have this in the house (even if someone gave it to me, lol, I’d hire or charitably donate him out to places) because the spindly legs flip me out. Like a tall man striding out of a concentration camp or something with his poor feet sticking in glug and the back foot looks like he is wearing heels from two seasons ago.

It’s so Saturnine. I mean, really, does this sculpture not epitomise Thin and Rich?

So if you had just over $100 million to blow on sculpture, where would you put this thing? By the fridge to stop you from doing late night Carbophilia? In the garden as a Yuppy Scarecrow?  In your bedroom to hang your discarded clothes off?

The kind of art you like is your Moon so when answering, please quote your Moon…

My Moon is in Libra so I like only classical Greek style sculptures that are sort of curvy and well-built…This thing worries me. Apparently, The Walking Man was done in the 1960s and purposely to go around banks in Manhatten…So, what does that mean? Is there an Art Historian in the house?

Finally: So appropriate that THiS is the big art shebang of Saturn Square Pluto in Capricorn for the 2nd time.

515R19RtexL._SS500_A la Bookslut & Anne Rice in the Guardian  Angels are the new Vampires.

This makes perfect sense to me as Angels seem v.v. Saturn in Libra – clean, fluffy, godly and all. Whereas Vampires could very easily vibe Virgoan and a bit neurotic. All that fussing about blood types, diet, purity, having to keep totally regular hours or else they will disintegrate or whatever. So bring on the Angels!!

And I would have gone ape over these Joey W Hill books when i was 14. Is that like a Lilith style of succubi writhing around with a studly looking clearly hovering on the verge of falling Angel???

When Saturn is in Libra, from the end of this month, we are all going to vibe very even and perfectly balanced. Ideally. The Saturn-Pluto square may skitz up the perfect balance ideal a bit. But these watches from Gavari Design are SO perfect for Saturn in Libra. And imagine the quiet one-up-manship corporate peeps could perform by it being actually official that they’re not at all fussed/phased by whatever is going on. I was actually about to send the guff on this to the gadget loving, polyphasic sleeping Aqua-Girl but then it occurred to me she probably already has one but it’s probably a stress detecting bra or something.

“…The Stress Watch is a special stress releasing device. In addition to keeping the time, reports the Biofeedback of several body functions.
The real-time data will be transformed to guidelines for relaxation, which are the well-being waves, the stress line, as well as the heart rate and the body`s temperature. If the display shows sprinted waves kept in warm colors, and the stress line is completely full, you need to change your breathing and your focus. As you slow down your breathing and find your optimal breathing rate, you will literally see a change of the graphic chart. So the alarming well-being waves transform into smooth one with cool colors and the stress line decreases back to the relaxing indication.
Wearing the StressWatch guarantees you to become a cool relaxed person in every situation!…”

I reckon Neptune into Pisces (sooner than you think!) is going to coincide with a big barefoot trend. Totally. I was reading this article on the weekend and it resonates. I have been thinking for a while that the more women do Pilates, yoga and osteopathy etc, the less sense high heels make. Once you’re aligned, they’re hard to wear because you can’t stand being thrown that out of whack. There are all these shoes coming out that mimic being barefoot and a whole movement of peeps saying ‘fuq shoes’ and going all Jesus on us.

Okay, i had a boyfriend years ago who was an ambo and he had the most hideous lectures as to what might happen to one’s feet should some disgusting bit of viral material enter the bloodstream via a puncture from some dirty microscopic shard of glass on the filthy street pavements and all. And maybe this is like some psychological reaction formation as i no longer like to fly down escalators post-champagne miraculously able to sprint, squat, do more or less anything in sky-high stilettos…Okay, i did used to twist my ankle a bit.

But what if this is really liberating and amazing? Like new era stuff. Pisces rules feet and Neptune rules Pisces…Or would one also have to have a litter and some  peeps to bear it and then put down satin for when-ever your precious tootsies had to touch the actual earth? Would litters be  more ECO? O.m.g. there is a problem with obesity, they say, and there is a problem with the environment. Everyone gets litters and we have to take turns being litter-bearers? It’s amazing I am not employed as a consultant.

Okay, back to the bare feet…Thoughts?

viggo+mortensen+barefootViggo Mortensen hates shoes, says they make his back ache & goes barefoot where-ever poss, even on the red carpet. Ditto Lenny Kravitz and Travis Fimmel.

travis_fimmel_02Even Enrique Iglesias…Seriously, I saw him in concert a while ago with Not-The-Typical-Virgo practically having to be hospitalised for swooning, women doing pole vaults to try and get onto stage & the audience hissing at Anna Kournikova when she ponced out. Anyway, he was barefoot for most of it and said he hates having his feet constricted in any way.

* 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:

There are naturally a lot of peeps in the fashion industry just looking to blame the Global Financial Cock-Up for their ills BUT some say that it’s fashion itself which got too whacked out of proportion…ie; not just pricie but poor value for $$$, not just trends shifting seasonally but insulting merde being served up to an apparently gullible group of buyers happy to look ridiculous just to be in fashion.

Pluto in Saggo from the mid-90s totally manifested as a rise in fabulous sportswear and designer jeans that one could wear anyplace…a definite decrease in formality & more Saggability a la the idea that a fit person can wear more or less anything and look fine. No need for fancy tailoring. And that if you’re active, you don’t need/want to be constrained.

But as Pluto heads into Capricorn & capitalism (apparently) reinvents itself, is fashion kaput? Which fashion trend totally sucked and were you personally reviled by? Is there any fashion trend that actually feels holistic & that you bond with? I’m drawn to the idea of non-leather shoes (eg; Stella McCartney)  but i’m very Aqua like that. Leather feels old & had it to me now.

And, trend forecasters, what will Pluto in Cap do to fashion? There is, obviously, already a massive increase in the people doing and fascinated by craft. ie; d.i.y.

Usually I am quite good at attributing trends to cosmic cycles but honestly, the hair thing has me stumped…Does anyone have any ideas? Venus Retro and in Aries for so long?  A cave-manny response to Pluto in Cap/GFC stress?  The Saturn-Uranus opposition? None of the current main astro-themes seem to fit.

lorikeet_5801

U.F.O sightings & things breaking down, mixed messaging where you go to forward your smutty yet so-hilarious observation re X to a friend but send it to X instead – the slapstick treachery of Retrograde Mercury is well known. But now, i have another Mercurial Bats manifestion. I think pets are more likely to run away or go missing during Retro-Mercury.

In the last few weeks, I have noticed that the signs re lost pets are more prolific & twice, people have come to my door to ask if i own the rabbit they found or- weirdly – an axolotyl. And coming home just now, there is a new sign up for a lost lorikeet. I wonder if the mode for keeping birds in cages is dying out? It seems so old-school. I speak as someone who only has cats who presumably wander all over the place and probably indulge in some form of polygamy in that they ‘belong’ to and get fed by several  households but still…It may be sad for the owner but i like to think that the lost lorikeet is having a Jupiter transit and currently soaring high above the Blue Mountains, catching the cross-winds and wilfully swooping into lavish valleys to glomp on fresh bright-berries.

Happy New Moon in Aquarius! Yes, it’s a Solar Eclipse. All hail to the New. Mercury is still Retro in Aquarius, meaning that the fresh vibe may not be quite so instantly manifest as with some such Eclipses. Still we’re all in a new world now & I bet you had some sort of illuminating oh-my-godding eureka flash today and that had to do with your Future. Not your past. Peeps who are facing back, gazing wistfully into the past, get a decisive door slamming shut moment with this Eclipse. Note the hot-zone of three days before & three days after. And it’s conjunct Jupiter so it’s positivist + expansive.

So here we are again, just a few days out from a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. It’s a hyperbolically super-boosted New Moon. It’s ultra-powerful for a few reasons. There are loads of planets-astro-thingies in Aquarius: The Sun, the Moon, the North Node of the Moon, Jupiter, Chiron & Neptune. We could go bats flinging in asteroids but this will suffice. Also, both the ancient and the modern rulers of Aquarius (Saturn & Uranus) are opposing.

Essentially, this is a rare & fabulous chance for innovative fresh beginnings. Really good astro-vibe for making your world over anew & getting beyond the same old tired merde. People who’ve been trying to be progressive & evolving since last Feb do well out of this astro-scape…And, as Venus is also close to Uranus, expect surprises. Go with the Eclipse mood by making cool changes – even just little ones. To your diet, for instance. Other than honouring Saturn in Virgo by being a hard-working health fiend most of the time, the time is nigh for radical individuation. And yes, the inauguration is v. appropriate for such strong Aquarian, Utopian, new-worldly astro.
