I think Sagg would be the BEST sign to go camping with…Perpetually cheery, fab sense of direction and hard to phase.

Aries is also upbeat but wrecks it by wanting to pitch the tent on the highest peak visible and screaming ‘come on slackers’ at the fellow campers. But Aries will erect a sodding tent in the middle of a cyclone and heaven help any wild animal who gets between an Aries and a barbecue.

Taurus brings along one of those structured tents with carpets, ovens and a bar fridge. Which is great except it means Taurus requires staff and or “helpers.” There is also the risk of a fight when peeps with less salubrious facilities because they’re keeping-it-real try to sneak into Tent-Taurus for a quick toblerone cocktail. No-no-no.

Gemini & Pisces will have sat-nav, i-Pod and an internet connection for keeping in touch with where it’s at. They’ll talk a good game about being At One with nature and foraging for strange berries that they intend to make into ‘bush tucker’ but go totally off the whole idea about a third of the way into it. They need their fellow campers to be either great conversationalists or someone they fancy. They quite like it if they can hear the comforting sound of a busy road in the distance but will totally get out of any camping chores so that they can talk shit and go skinny-dipping.

Cancerians & Scorps will either not go at ALL or they will go in hardcore, with Swiss survival knives, special sleeping bags, manuals, a determination to actually hunt something/find treasure/walk 1000k in one day and probably some psych issues to work through. There will be deep chats around the fire at night and sensual appreciation of the stars, night-time noise etc. That’s even as Gem & Pisces lie gibbering in their tents, screaming at every squawk from an animal.

Leo & Libra will set out in the latest camping fashion, outdoorsy scents and with a muslin tent, thinking of Out Of Africa scenarios. Silver backed hairbrushes, 800 thread count organic sheets and bush-wattle body lotions are hard to lug around on long treks to camping grounds but they will do it. There may be a dramatic scene once either of them realises that the hard-core Scorp running the show is actually arcing up for a fistfight with the Aries, that there is a Pisces or Aquarius bitching because their tentmate won’t point the tent in the right direction for Feng Shui, due to the blizzard AND that there are  no special dietary requirements taken into account.

Aquarius would want to to whacked out rituals, wildcrafting, nude bushwalking and maybe add the mental mushrooms they foraged into the Arieans barbecue. Virgo and Capricorn would not even GO on this trip without the perameters being carefully delineated and agreed on (legally binding) beforehand. It’s too unstructured…

Lindsay Lohan: …You know, I was with this guy Jerry Inzerillo recently, who was running the whole Atlantis [The Palm resort opening celebration] in Dubai. And when I saw him, he started complimenting me, telling me how I reminded him of these other actresses. I literally just sat there . . . He was just saying these really nice things to me that people don’t really ever say, and I started crying. I was like, “Oh, my God, I’m so sorry that I’m crying!” But I was just so emotional about it . . . I’m a Cancer, which means I’m maternal and emotional. So in relationships I’m screwed.

Lauren Hutton: I’m a Scorpio with Cancer rising. I don’t really know what that means.

Lindsay Lohan:  [laughs] I don’t know what it means either! I just know that Scorpio is a little more dangerous than Cancer, but that could actually be really balancing.

So I note some Aries peeps grouching it up in the comments.

I’m sure I said this before, maybe only in the Daily Scopes but anyway here it is again.

Last week Venus in Aries squared Pluto, this week Mercury in Aries  squares Pluto and next week the Sun in Aries squares Pluto. These are all harbingers of the squares from Uranus in Aries (major) to Pluto that are key themes of the next few years.

So it’s not supposed to induce angst but they are subtle omens of impending change which can feel a bit unsettling for sure.  It’s actually stirring all the Cardinal Signs; Aries, Kataka, Capricorn and Libra. Libra has Saturn in their sign and Capricorn Pluto.

If you are any of these signs, you kind of need to be reading the Astro-Confidentials featuring Saturn, Uranus and Pluto…because they’re all over your sign from mid-year and beyond. Especially if you’re born in the early degrees of your sign. Phoenixing to the Max.

Remember, another way of thinking about Cardinal signs is that you’re like a Boss sign. You get shit happening.

I am not sure why precisely but i consider BOTH of these looks really Cancerian-Crabby-Kataka.

AND WHAT is the hand thingie above called? Because I think that’s mega-Crab.

I think they would like the medieval vibe of it…no?

And in fact, whilst we’re on this, it is mostly Cancerians and Taureans who like going to/doing anything medieval themed isn’t it?

Like those naff banqueting halls, re-enactments and all. They love how flattering they think the clothes are, the ye olde vibe & that furniture was better made in those days. Perhaps also a world where there was Proper Help and no faddy food allergies.

Help. I am channelling someone.  A batty Cancerian-Taurus relative, clearly.  I did have a BBC Costume drama fetishising relative & I could elaborate but Cancerian-Taurus types are also v.litigious.

The Scorpio Sex Academic has a book called Flirting For Dummies which she swears I should borrow as it’s so brilliant.

I honestly don’t think i need it. The main thing it seems to have done for her is add a whole new cabal of men into her life – flirtees who are not being at all considered contenders for a relationship nor even a fling but whom are engaged in an active flirtship. The book says that done properly, flirting is practically aerobic and certainly endorphin inducing.

Apart from Libra, I don’t think the Cardinal signs are so good at it – they often don’t bother unless they think something is going to “happen” and then they always want to “follow through.” It’s like they are turned On or Off. Cardinal Signs; Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer.

Virgos are often so attentive and engaging that people THINK they are flirting when really, the poor Virgo is only being polite. Aquarius psycho-flirts. Comes on strong and than takes off fast.

Geminis & Pisceans are definitely the best flirts of the Zodiac…Leos are often too up themselves to show the requisite interest in the other person although Haute Leo (if he/she thinks you are important or beautiful enough) is amazing at it.  Saggo is brilliant, so long as their target maintains the correct sporting attitude.

Thoughts? And your fave flirting styles + sign.

Okay so what are your Decadence Settings for this holiday season?

Are any of you planning to go totally ape at some party?  Hide out at a health farm for the duration and emerge looking sensational in January whilst all your friends cower on their couches reading self-help books or yet to emerge from their Carb Coma???

My feeling is that the Mutables (Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces) will be celebrating Saturn having gotten off their arse. And Pluto too. They will be in a mood to reprise the decadent self of their yesteryear, only with some of their hardwon sagacious wisdom blended in to the madness. They’re thinking strategic pulling, no nonsense and no Qi wasted on twerps or pointless liasions. See? Saturn worked. But make no mistake about it, they’re getting ready to act up.

Those signs currently under the pump of Saturn and Pluto: Aries, Libra, Cancerians and Capricorns will be looking at working way up to the last possible minute, maintaining their health regimens with absolute rigour & trying not to resent the enforced sloth and frivolity too much.

So we’re looking at the Fixed Signs – Aquarius is v.sensitive due to all the Neptunian/Chironic/Jovial action in their sign so they may be adopting a more spiritual-edge celebratory attitude this year. An official love-in. Taurus is – as always – fantastic at relaxing and banqueting, regardless of the occasion. If it’s trad  in their circles to get trashed and dance on the table wearing nothing but a bit of tinsel, then Taurus will do it, no worries.

Scorpio & Leo are both equally determined to do the season on old-school, Saturnalia style; huge floral arrangements, grandiose tie-breaking with all ex-lovers, mead or a version there-of and sex.

Someone should quickly open an Xmas/New Year Retreat for Capricorns who are not in the mood to do Christmas, their birthday, carbs or leisure.

Okay it IS the Dark Moon and Mars is dirging along through the last degrees of Cancer so there is a LOT of stuff coming up…There are always jelly babies & I know quite a few peeps who are resorting Dionysian dilution of their angst…I still think it’s best to let the psychic grot emerge, write it out, do salt baths etc. I texted Kim Falconer a grizzle before and she said the antidote is to list ten things you totally love about your self. your life -they can be awesomely obvious (cherished people) and/or completely shallow. And it’s nearly Mars in Leo!!!!!  I am re-reading my Martian Bats rave, even though i wrote it myself – & you should too!!!!

Every now and then I see an advertisement for the cruise ship SuperStar Virgo (there is a sister ship named SuperStar Leo) and my mind meanders to how all the different signs would behave on board a cruise.  As well as, of course, the differences between SuperStar Virgo and SuperStar Leo: The former would be Amish in design & feature gluten-free organic cuisine with the occasional illicit chocolate binge by special arrangement. There would be an aide-de-camp specificially just to deal with allegations of fraying on the edge of the blankets or miniscule cracks in the basin. SuperStar Leo would be more ornate, loads of gilding & 24-7 performances & brass bands.

But on an actual cruise ship – our imaginary trip round the world on SuperStar Zodiac or whatever:  Aries would be up the top attempting to tell the Captain where/how to pilot the ship and/or going WAY over the top in a deck game of croquet. Gemini would be like some Trickster character – going between ‘worlds’ as he/she acts as ostensibly the Entertainment Manager but more of an information and gossip broker. Pisces & Saggo would be in the bar regaling one another with tales of astral travel (Pisces) and ‘real’ travel (Sagittarius). Leo would be rehearsing for karaoke and perfecting his/her outfit. Libra would stay in the spa the WHOLE time with occasional forays around the deck with the purpose of pulling. Taurus would be compiling a dossier of all the food/buffets available in between lounging/meditation by the pool. Cancerians would be holed up in their cocoon like bunk bed and/or leading some sort of a trippy encounter group scenario. Aquarius would be gazing existentially out at the ocean and/or reading some futuristic tract. Virgo & Capricorn would be networking/using the ‘free’ time to schedule up their next phase of transcendental accomplishment. Scorpio? It would be a secret at the time but everyone would talk about it for years once they found out.

Am I right or am I wrong?

Hmmm. Well this is part of a new collection called Plato’s Atlantis, which immediately makes me think of some fabulous poetry & the enthralling idea of what constituted chic in ancient Atlantis. I personally do not think Plato would have cared for these shoes.

So they are studded with turquoise – the Sagittarian gemstone but would a Saggo appreciate shoes so difficult to run in?  There is some glitter in the mix which makes me think Pisces or Virgo trying to glitz up the greige.  Serious F-U heels is tres Scorp. Could this be Lower Gemini? As in something Delia Antwerp Aaars would wear – very, VERY difficult to drink in, i would imagine. You would have to retain serious focus whilst wearing these things. It would be easier to imagine that you are landing a space shuttle, as opposed to forgetting yourself and trotting off down the stairs to the loo whilst trying to yell an inappropriate anecdote. Libra would find them unbalanced as hell. They would send my Virgoan Osteopath into politics, all the better to get them banned. The designer himself is a Piscean.

I am thinking only La Leo would have the requisite combo of nerve, batso chutzpah, status awareness and aplomb to pull these on. Your Thoughts?

This ain’t gonna be an Astro-Poll and i am too busy to be guilted over grammar irks either. Neither?  Mercury is about to square Pluto AGAIN – surely we all have deeper issues to think about than English. Besides, note the irony of me posting that Alphabet Vs The Goddess book below, but basically, i am prob not going to read  it. I feel like i absorbed it via osmosis and i totally get it…But it is all about peeps like me – pantheistic/Venus worshippers/Fanactical about Feng Shui ex-Anglicans not HAVING to read. I think. And, o.m.g., i just nearly typed “ex-aliens” .

Anyway, which sign gives the best guilting? I like to think it is my mars in virgo that makes me a good guilter on occasion. eg; “You are thinking about your HAIR at a time when (fill in revolting  news story of the day)…” but i have a stellium in Pisces strong enough that i’ll automatically side with peeps on many a moral transgression. I think actually Cancerians are Pro-Guilters. My son is exceptional at it and as I have always said, Geminis are immune to it. My daughter just shrugs and rolls her eyes when someone tries to guilt her. And the shrug is intense, like she is attempting to shrug something annoying off her shoulders that seems to have landed there.

My friend the Piscean Beauty Fanatic completely refuses any form of guilt and she has an extremely sophisticated argument to back her stance. It starts with her annoyance at Sunday School when hearing about Eve and goes on from there. Leos specialise in really good thundering outrage but it’s more the theatrics they’re keen  on. Aquarians and Librans don’t guilt you but you may not hear from them for a few years. Taurus is a shocking guilter when in the right mood. Aries won’t guilt – their flashpoint is more lack of respect. Scorpio and Capricorn conserve energy, they don’t bother with casual guilting. It’s revenge or they have rendered you and your energy irrelevant. Saggo? Lol.
