I think it has to do with my Moon in Libra but I always have a favourite model du jour, despite not caring so much for fashion…Bimbonic, I know but what can you do? Currently it’s Lara Stone but i had not bothered to do her astro UNTIL Jezebel and others got to raving re an interview she did for UK Vogue & how frank she is the industry, headjobs, cocaine, her rehab, weight and so on. It’s hilarious as she is a Multiple Conjunct Sagittarius; Sun, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and South Node all tight together in Saggo…Sagittarians make the best interview subjects ever as they tend to be so cheerfully candid.

When Saturn is in Libra (exalted and all, see previous Saturn in Libra raves) even your Cat will be Haute-fashionable…It should surely signal a new design aesthetic, no?  Cat-Wear by United Bamboo.  These felines look a bit like they’re bombed out on Catnip & eagerly anticipating the moment they can wriggle out of their outfits and hook into some sardines.

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 gentleman is James Goldstein – billionaire, ardent basketball fan & fashion follower. He’s also, if you go by the ‘friends’ section of his website linked to above, a modelizer. Or does that just come via his fashionista status? His Beverly Hills house is famously fantastic & infuriatingly, all i know about his astro is that he is born in 1943.  He came by his billions via mysterious means, he gives himself  over to passionate crazes & vibes kinda Piscean but his site screams Leo. I dunno if a Pisces would be comfy with that many pictures of themselves around. Unless they were Liz Taylor. So, thoughts re his sign please and whether or not you would date him. As with our Finding-My-Goddess-Guy, i highly recommend you look at Mr Goldstein’s site before commenting. I was thinking it would be amusing to suggested to Find-A-Goddess-Guy (did we finally establish he a Gemini?) that Mr Goldstein back his Global Planetary Brilliant & Visionary Television Vision but I fear Goldstein would incinerate him with one scathing glance in a nano.

Shoe love & the foot fetish thing is so often ascribed to Pisces – but I have loads of stuff in Pisces and I am SO immune to shoe-fetish or even the usual tastes of wimmyn. Seriously, my fashionista friends FREAK at me – the thing is that MY beauty dollar goes to skincare & scent – whereas theirs is sent toward shoes and handbags. They have stuff on them that will send peeps shrieking across a room to gush – I don’t even dare delineate the fash-details here as my fashionista friends ARE Virgo or they have STRONG Virgo and they’d go me for not getting a fashion detail right.

Anyway, i have sports sneakers, birkies, fit-flops and some beautiful Max Mara espradrilles. That’s IT. And i don’t care. I know i need to get boots & that Uggs are non-Vegan + unable to be worn to theatre nights so there is a vague Winter dilemma there BUT, I live in Sydney and a LOT of peeps here feel claustro in closed-toe shoes. It’s not so much about the reality of having one’s toes shut-in for a season when it is never even that cold -it’s the idea that one should not be cramped.

I also – and i think this is v.Aquarian + being raised on homeopathy etc and maybe being part-German but i think that the idea of being aligned or exercised whilst you walk is so fab. And I walk a LOT being also eco and not into driving. The shoe i madly want but keep putting off is the Masai Barefoot Thingie…my other shoe goal is to have some crazy pair of bedroom-only stilettoes, for fun.

Thoughts? And how can i have all this stuff in Pisces yet be the least shoe-heavy lady i KNOW?  And do you give a shit re shoes? I am SO objective re this…my female friends are divided into the shoe fanatic fashionistas and the ones who just so do-not-care…I am thinking that it’s VIRGO and CANCER + CAPRICORN & TAURUS – ie; all the Earths + Cancer who do it the most hardcoare.   THOUGHTS – Please…

T’is the season of Piscean birthdays, during which they loudly proclaim not to give a shit – not about time, their age, anniversaries nor formal occasions to mark any such thing. It’s true. For once they’re not lying. And whilst they love gifts they hate being asked what they want. And their tastes are so fluid, whom knows?  One moment they’re macrobiotic and the next Goth. You buy them the Tofu Vouchers they requested but they want only to drink gin on the grave of some poet rediscovered a nano-second ago. They claim to be scent fanatics but by the time you turn up with your barely available pre-WWI Guerlain decanted direct from Paris, the Piscean dost only wear Sweet Almond Oil…The big prob is that the Pisces has secretly insane expectations that even he/she knows can NEVER be met;

Pisceans do not care for materialism, as such, you understand. They don’t bother with bling unless it is magical, surreal or invested with supernatural historical significance.

An Island, for the privacy that Pisceans so prefer. Also convenient for entertaining, swimming, gardening and/or launching a small war should the Piscean be having a Mars transit.

An unrealistic outfit, totally impractical that somehow speaks to the Piscean’s Inner Unworldly Being…

Proper Therapy, from the ‘grandfather of pyschoanalysis’ – you somehow suss the Pisces a seance with Sigmund Freud personally…

OR – MORE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS THAT WILL AT LEAST NOT ANNOY THE PISCEAN INTO ONE OF HIS/HER TOXIC POWER-SULKS:

(1)  red-envelopes

A Red, Chinese, Feng-Shui auspicious envelope with cash or coins in it. As, remember, the Pisces taste So Shifting that you cannot assume to grok this nano’s whim.

(2)

love-blooms-roses_bunch-of-flowers1

Flowers – as scented, big & trendy as you can manage. Best to go with huge bunch of same-same than risk the naff. If in doubt, the classic: Lilies, Roses, Peonies or – again – whatever has a magical significance. A Piscean would rather you rock up with Deadly Nightshade than a Gerbera.

Dark Moon Alert 1: No taking werewolves for lovers.

I am going to take mine-own lovely advice, for a change & rest in the Dark Moon…Actually, the pic above looks more like it’s her being predatory. Oh dear, whom can tell. Back tomorrow & please take-it-easy with the Dark Moon! If you’re writhing around in self-guilting mode, you’re doing it all wrong. Yet it COULD happen…WHY?  Okay the Dark Moon is always a time to rest and prep for the next phase…I have gone about this at length in The Daily Mystic & bunged up the New Moon times for different zones etc. SO that is the Dark Moon.

This Dark Moon is in Aquarius – sensational for detached and genius perspective IF you rest. But Aquarius is ruled by two planets; Uranus (the planet of the random ‘zig’ when you ought to have maybe ‘zagged’ but the tangential eureka flash is SO worth it) and Saturn (boundaries, limitations, age, status quo etc). The two planets are in opposition & Saturn is also in VIRGO.

So there’s a scrap for this turf. Try not to Virgo out. Yet nor is between now and the New Moon the time to tripping off in hyperbolic mode, twittering to yourself re self-actualisation.

AND whilst i think of it; I keep seeing articles about how “shapewear” aka control pants aka corsets even are trending UP in sales. How come? I mean, I get that there is better technology or something but why up, why now?

Italian designers are channelling Pluto In Capricorn brilliantly.

This is from an Associated Press article about the men’s fashion collections.

“…In these shaky economic times, Italian designers have chosen rags over riches for their fall-winter 2009-2010 menswear collections, currently previewing on the Milan runway…Gone are the trademark flashy fabrics, dandy designs and macho models, replaced by classic sporty styles in sensible wool, worn by almost boringly average young men….

‘At a time like this, you have to think positive and work hard,’ said Stefano Gabbana in a chat with reporters…

Miuccia Prada on Sunday evening used her minimalist wand to combat the crisis with one of her most essential collections ever. The almost all black and gray show featured jackets and coats with neither lapels nor buttons, slim slacks and plain sweaters. The only details in the collection were the myriad of studs, which dot white shirts, slacks and classic footwear, like mini nails securing the outfits to the body….”

Three tiny things I have noticed since Pluto went properly into Capricorn & the G.F.C etc:  Nobody I know is complaining about having to work too hard , staff in upmarket stores have lost all vestige of their previously sometimes snippy airs & holidays are passe. It’s now all about weaving mini-breaks into one’s day. ie; sleep, the gym, some relaxing scouring of the house from top to bottom.

Note also the models above. Other than their beauty & the interesting trend of monochromatic make-up with big hair concealing beige bandanna things, they could almost be three elite cleaners.
