Cheap Monday

The first incarnation of Pluto A La Mode was monochromatic make-up &  austere chic – now of course, the shredded thing is everywhere. Is it Plutonic? A kind of homage to making-do?  A dignified acknowledgement that whilst you may be in designer clobber,  you totally get it?  And with warpaint? Like, rejecting trad make-up & going straight for a tribal marking?  And, assuming this is not an outfit for a job interview – as such, though the nipple poking through would probably work in some industries – where would one wear it?

I don’t know who this designer is but he/she/it is totally grokking my Winter wardrobe “statement”. As an Aquarius Rising, i LOVE the classic gray trackpant. Informal. Egalitarian. Add my Venus in Pisces appreciation of deshabille & perfect; the ideal outfit for a premenstrual trot up to the local. Or straight from the gym to the pub. An update of ‘resort wear’ for the Pluto In Capricorn era.

ANYWAY, i was actually wanting to give an example of astrology in action. The day before yesterday I had transitting Mars on my Sun & Psyche. All the good-Mars stuff happened; heightened determination & strong ideas for moving forward etc. But there were two other things. And, btw, I had not even bothered to  notice Mars whizzing over my Sun/Psyche. I looked later. Mars AND Venus right there. The Venusification was prob my saviour. Mars can be a Malefic (ie; shitty) but Venus is always a Benefic. (ie; Fab)

You see, when you have Uranus conjunct Venus going on, you’re too busy with your whacko love life & Aquarian men to think about flitty little Mars transits. Thing One; Was late to get my daughter from sports camp so jumped in taxi even though it was only a short way away. Did not bother with seatbelt as traffic at crawl. Smelt weirdly strong alcohol smell. Assumed that was prob some synthetic crap the guy had cleaned his cab with. Thought surely would not be actual booze. Heard voice – literally – that said to put seatbelt on. Ignored. Was in back seat. Going one kilometre up road at nano-crawl. Heard it again. Put on stupid seat belt.

Soooo suddenly we’re going fast, making some illegal left turn and screeching down road as twerp taxi drive tries to run a red light OUTSIDE the hospital A & E department. We narrrowly miss colliding with the van turning left legally and there is huge screech of brakes and both cars spinning off, stunt-car style. The van is a police van driven by two enraged young female constables. I am fine. But would prob not have been sans seatbelt. The Venusian aspect of all this is that had something happened, i would have been v.close to medical help and the the cops were -obviously – right there on the scene.

So an hour later walking home and Thing Two;  I get into a fight with a guy on the street. He looks slimey, asks me something or rather and I decide to ignore  him with Anglican hauteur. So he starts hassling this girl behind me. Asks her three times to go to the  pub with  him and then kind of wheedling but threatening ‘oh why not?’ and all t his other stuff. So finally I wheel around and go him. Not hysterically and not unreasonably. But definitely with a sort of Martian white-hot fury. Totally told him off (leave her along,  no means no etc) and he arced up and argued back. Could tell he longing to hit me and i was absolutely ready for him to give it a go as would have used right elbow, left hook, right upper cut and a knee in his groin. But he took off.

And no i don’t normally get into fights with guys in streets or relish a punch up. It’s worth keeping an eye on where Mars is. It definitely energises. A Mars conjunction is the strongest. Mars on your Venus is always an excellent pulling transit. Mars-Moon means you’re SO tetchy but can be quite insightful. Mars-Saturn is ruthlessly sorting admin and structural details of your life and/or confronting power. Mars-Jupiter is usually at the races, lol.

Okay so I wouldn’t wear this, lol, but in my parallel universe it is totally perfect for the Mars-Saturn Opposition. The formality of the dress, tight hair & matte make-up + tight lipped look manages to honour both Saturn in Virgo AND Pluto A La Mode.  There is a sense of inscrutability combined with fuq-U that is ineffably Mars-Saturnine. Virgoan pragmatism meets Piscean OTT eye-wear.
