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.

Virgo SuperModel Carmen Kass at a chess championship.

I was wondering which signs would excel at chess, if any & whilst researching the subject I found out that the Virgoan Supermodel Carmen Kass, is not only a chess champion but president of the Estonian National Chess League. Her current lover is a Taurean chess champion (both Earth signs, bliss!) and Ms Kass has recently fought for but lost the rights for her native country to host the international Chess Olympics. Germany got it.

Three points:

* Chess goes in and out fashion, does it not? Occasionally a sexy chess playing scene is bunged into a movie? I was MADE to join a stupid chess club to calm me down aged 14-ish (Uranus sextile Uranus is always fun and NO, being made to do a very classical and trad ancient game with RULES is not the best thing for any Uranian transit.) Even the sitting down bit is a problem.  So i ignored all the boring stuff and learned ONE really fancy gambit. Something to do with risking the Queen.

* The Virgoan Supermodel Chess Champion ideal is kind of cool, yes?

* I researched – a bit – the chess champions of the world  and guess what?!!! The last TEN have all been MUTABLE SIGNS: Non-stop Gemini, Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius.  I would have surmised that the Fixed Signs – Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius – would have been more strategic and patient. But there is a total bias toward the Mutables. WHY? Amorality?  Fluidity? Your thoughts?

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.

Seriously, what is going on here?

We rule out Virgo immediately.   Lipstick stains are hell to get off glass.

Sagg would scribble on glass, no worries, but would a Sagg be so long-winded?  I think not.

Pisces would not write so neatly though the concept would appeal.

Aries would just smash the glass or not have even bothered to hang around writing a message. Because, everyone knows, Arieans don’t take being dissed.

Scorpio?  A proper Scorpio doesn’t actually write messages in lipstick. Scorpio would all ready be in the next town over, seducing your friend, accountant or agent.

Gemini or Libra would although if she’s either of those two, she’s stopped mid-scrawl with a better idea. Skywriting?

Capricorn? Gravity defying perkiness is tres Cap.

Thoughts???

I am thinking he is a Gemini – bookish, dark glasses to hide his lying eyes, lol. Or a Libra – preoccupation with balance leads him to use the old books-on-head-trick to aid poise.  But what is he carrying? Baseball bats? A Sagittarius? He also has the slight look of a pretentious Pisces…An Aries who didn’t read the book club blurb properly? Thoughts please?

Farewell Saturn in Virgo but of course, we will see Saturn back there again in 2010. Hence the importance of having done one’s Saturn Thru Virgo review…If  you are a devout Saturn tracker – and frankly, you ought to be if you have anything significant in the later degrees of a Mutable sign (Gemini, Pisces, Virgo, Saggo) – then Saturn retrogrades back into Virgo in April 2010 and covers the same territory as it between early October 2009 and now. Then it finishes up in Virgo for 30 years in July 2010.

So April-July 2010 is when the undone/unacknowledged tasks of October come back to, um, see you. I was going to use the word haunt and a really spooked up metaphor but i decided against it. Perhaps see it more as a revision test. But this is why it’s a good idea to absolutely grok all of October’s Saturn issues. They will seem to ease radically but don’t slide back into pre-Saturn-in-Virgo complacency.

Here is Ultimate Gemini guy Johnny Depp – he just vibes SO Mercurial & fluid with Keith Richards who at 66 still manages to be perpetually That Saggo Guy. Note his boho turquoise beads thing, because turquoise is THE Sagittarian gemstone.

And Helen Mirren is surely like the patron saintess of all Leos; agelessly hot, fab hair, Grande Theatre Dame, elegant, feted, chivalrous etc…They’re also all interesting examples of how being individuated (okay, and monied) can translate into such a youthful vibe.

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.
