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…

Erno Rubik, who invented this thing, is a Cancerian, famously introverted just like his fellow Crab Proust, apparently.

The Cube itself is a Capricorn – patented January 17 1974.

After months of obsession as a child, i solved it. I am talking hours spent working on it in secret, under the covers with a torch. Infuriatingly, nobody believed that i had done it.

A la productive Mercury Retrograde nostalgia & a distraction from the Bitch Moon - do tell: What is  your sign and did you solve Rubik’s Cube?  Melt it? Lie that you had done it? Ignore as you are so above such fads? Despise with a vengeance? Complete in a nano-sek?

Geminis are usually ace at solving puzzles but a Leo would denounce the entire Cube paradigm and Rubik himself if he/she could not master the Cube within five minutes. Aquarius would find some occult significance in the colours or the symmetry and Sagg would chuck it out the window.

Thoughts?

…Leos or people with prominent Leonic placements in their charts will have the right to apply for beautiful Lion/Sekhmet styled features in their bathrooms. Fleur de Lis dressing gowns and candelabra – so long as they are Haute Leo enough. Even the most humble busker but with beautiful music and attitude will be eligible.

But though I love the style of this pic, there is a darker aspect – she is beautiful to behold from the side but what is this poor girl seeing in the mirror? A more judgemental her?

And, if you are a Leo or have full on Leo in your Scope, would you like Lion themed taps a la the above?

Last March, when i first posted about Lady Gaga & some peeps had the nerve to dispute my Mercury in Aries statement that she would be a big star, there were two different birthdates floating about for her. So i said she was a Pisces.  Now the official birthdate is March 28 – Aries. Though the March 20 birthday still has currency. Anyway, this interview from The Moment totally confirms that she’s a Ramzilla to the Max…but what rising? I think Uranus in Capricorn…Calculating & groundbreaking.

My theory:  Given a quarter of the chance – forget  half – any Aries person will refer to her/himself in the third person. They LOVE IT. Way more than Leo even BUT read this for pure Ramzilla hubris and the brilliant quote re the vagina. That is heaven. I am so appropriating that to use as a sort of more or less all-purpose statement/excuse.

THE MOMENT: You say you are an acute assessor of fame. You of all people must know, then, that celebrity is fleeting. Doesn’t that scare the bejesus out of you?

LADY GAGA: Not in the book of Gaga.

THE MOMENT Sorry?

LADY GAGA: In the book of Gaga, fame is in your heart, fame is there to comfort you, to bring you self-confidence and worth whenever you need it. I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

THE MOMENT: Don’t you think it’s kind of creepy when you refer to yourself in the third person?

LADY GAGA: No. Not if you’re an artist, it’s not. I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don’t live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans. And that way, I have to think about not what is best for my vagina but what is best for my fans and for me artistically.

Even though the Mars situation could be technically stressy for Leos (Mars Retrograde in their sign) and Capricorns (Mars is Exalted in Capricorn) and Arieans (Mars Rules their sign), they are all signs that are still healthily capable of Self-Love.

Mars has just 14 more days until it is Direct.

Before then, no batty hair urges, lawsuits or random bitcherel.

This applies to Aries, Leo and Capricorn in particular…

What’s good about Mars Retro in Leo? You have most likely drawn up a powerful & strategic ‘battle plan’ in recent months & that’s brilliant. Benefits show up radically in mid-May. I don’t mean no advance till early June – just that June is when you wow yourself and other peeps out with the realization of your plan.

Mars Retro can evoke a sense of useful urgency that abets you making progress, even if it’s a bit hush-hush for a while.

I feel like I’m deja-vu incarnate because I keep getting e-mails from peeps saying that everything feels slowed down, that some significant venture or seduction is going backwards, that they feel stuck blah de blah and “Mystic, what do you think it might be?”

In the blog, scopes and daily mystics, i swear i have banged on and ON about Mars in Leo being retrograde. ie; blatting backwards. Mars ruling men, assertion, bold new ventures etc.  Mars Direct on March 11. New Moon on March 15. BUT Mars will not get out of shadowzone – that is, back to the point it was at before going retrograde – until mid-May.

Botticelli’s Mars & Venus

So not only do you need to master/mistress patience, you need to see a scenario as having until potentially then to play itself out. Especially if it got going in the 2nd half of October. Study these images for reference! Can someone PLEASE say in the comments stream that they actually read what i write?!!

This is the new Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace – designed by Marc Jacobs and retailing for about $2000 USD.

Yes, it’s a.k.a the Trashbag or whatever.

Apart from Lower Gemini Delia Antwerp Aaars who would bung this thing around? I mean, really.

The real Louis Vuitton was born on August 4 1821. That’s right. He was a LEO. Think about it. A Leo. He is probably reincarnating in a towering rage right about now.

Positive Points:  You could have a pen leakage or spill red wine on this thing and it would be fine. It is Vegan. Sort of. Apart from the handles.

Negative Points: If Freud was correct (and he probably was not, so don’t flip) and the handbag is symbolic of the bearer’s vagina, then this large, floopy trashbag is COMPLETELY the wrong message.  It is hideous. It is a fad. Cats would come up and tear at it, hoping to find stinking chicken scraps. I need to stop with the negative points already or else my Mars in Virgo could go on for hours with this.

Is this complete dissing from Marc Jacobs, a man with a tatt of Spongebob for fuq’s sake??? Or an immensely clever reference to Pluto in Capricorn?

These are So mega-Leo.

It’s not just that  these Karen Walker sunnies are called Sun God Eyewear, though that helps.

It’s the idea of a Leo waiting out the Mars Retrograde in a gold-lame veil with sun-ray detailing and could it be that these Sun God glasses helpfully render ex-lovers invisible? Yes! And you can’t even see their texts nor remember their contact details.  That’s why the Leo is smiling in the 2nd pic. She’s realized that the Sun God Eyewear amnesiac effect has kicked in.

WHO?

And on a completely different Mars Retrograde note, i really wish people wanting to launch major battles with much at stake would do the basic astro. No! Not during Retr0-Mars…

Leos always look feline. One way or another, they remind you of a variety of cat. Ditto Leo Rising.

But I love that this is what Leo Supermodel Anna Selezneva wears on her day off.
