Astro-Beauty: Gold Fiction – Would Only A Leo Wear This Nail Varnish?

Apparently, Chanel’s Gold Fiction is loaded with genuine pigment & real gold etc. So it’s truly metallic and thus maybe good Feng Shui for the fingernails…I don’t know but given the not-so-secret Leo penchant for gold lame (repressed in the Leos who are not currently starring in musicals, drag queens or underwear supermods) i’m thinking they’d go mad for this & maybe be the only one…

The Chanel site also has a new range called the Constellations “based on Mademoiselle Chanel’s fascination for the constellations” – eight lip glosses with names such as Silex, Nebula, Jupiter, Venus and Mirage….

I reckon they could have gone mega more cosmic than that with the names. Chanel apparently had her apartment full of wheat sheaves which she believed symbolised prosperity (i can’t find an old post I did on this!) and the number Five (she loved 5 as Leo is the 5th sign and she identified strongly with her Sun Sign- she even had her tombstone carved with lions heads) & I’d imagine her to be totally interested in the occult & astrology…Does anyone know?

Love In A Capricorn Climate; office/work affairs?

Is there a Sun/Venus sign more prone to office affairs than others?? Or is it just we all work so hard, it’s  normal & easier to meet peeps at work…?  I always suspect Venus in Virgo & Capricorn as being most prone to get off on the workplace scenario – i picture a diligently deskbound Virgo type falling for the junketeering Saggo bike courier type and, of course, Capricorns falling hard for the boss. And this is regardless of which gender is which…Mind you, Pisceans like to subvert dominant paradigms & if crushes are an effective way to rebel against ‘the system’ – they’ll do it. Aries in an office just assumes everyone has an insane crush on them…Thoughts?

Astro-Query; Your Dream Voice?

July 24, 2009 in Astro-Query by Mystic Medusa | 31 comments

This Donald Duck clip is SO poignant, truly.

Am not going to name any particular signs here, but I am wondering if there is a particular Sun Sign – or Mercury sign, for clever-clogs – that is more prone to getting elocution lessons, trying to move beyond the natural accent of their background, bung on a totally different voice or try to speak more proper, like. That was ironic crap grammar.

Geminis & Aquarians have a shocking propensity to automatically mimic whatever accent is around them. Around rah-rah types, they’ll ponce it up to become braying horray Henry/Henriettas and at the local Indian, they’ll suddenly sound authentically Bombay born-and-bred. Libra & Capricorn are usually credited with the social climbing evolution of accent whilst I have watched female Pisceans be crapping onto their friends in a high-pitched rave and suddenly switch into sexy breathy goo-goo all-purpose come hithery tones upon the  arrival of a potential ‘mate.’  Taureans – I think – have beautiful voices & tend to be the most melodious speakers…

Thoughts???

Astro-Query: What In Your Abode Is Most Astro-Cliched?

What, in chez You, is the item or room that most reflects your Sun or Moon Sign???  Mine is totally my bedside table although the bathroom cabinet (alphabetically arranged essential oils) comes next. And you? Smarty-pants peeps can cite the sign on the cusp of their 4th House, if they like.

I always think the Sagg cliche is a bike, packed bag with passport, surfboard and/or set of skis in the hallway. Taurus sink $$$ into a couch they can sink into to think. Geminis love gadgets & Leos need a big plasma to watch wanky movies + maybe a throne…

Virgo would technically be into wheatgrass but also hide a secret cache of luxury chocolate…

Crab Peeps? Nostalgia & antiques for sure…

Astro-Baby…

By popular demand-nagging-guilting-wheedling, I am introducing a new feature – Astro-Baby!  I do find astrology a fascinating way to help understand your children. I have retrieved from the archives an old anecdote re my son – who is Kataka but with a multiple Leo conjunction – to illustrate & as I think it’s funny.  It’s below…I don’t do charts for children generally as it is nice to let them blossom and see how they manifest their astro. But they work really well…It’s good to look at some key points of their chart. eg; Having been fine at swimming as a toddler, my boy suddenly developed this extreme water phobia, which nothing would cure. Then one day at the swimming  pool, when he was about seven, he noticed two “older” girls staring at him and he dove straight in the deep end. Phobia cured.  That’s your multiple-Leo in action.

So is this;

He’s a teenager now. Mars, Mercury Jupiter all in Leo…Anyway, he went to the doctor, suspecting that he had picked up some vile gastric thing from his trip to Thailand…

Comes home, saying the doctor said he’s fine…

Me: Really?

Multi-Leo: Yeah. She was really attactive and she said i had amazing abs.

Me: What about the gastric thing?

Multi-Leo: Oh fine. But I said no to having diarrhea or flatulence because I didn’t want to ruin the image she so clearly had of me being really fit and all.

Me: Are you for real?

Multi-Leo: She thinks it might be something to do with our furniture…

Me: Furniture?  Did you actually go to see a DOCTOR? Or just chat up someone at the gym?

Multi-Leo: Yeah, she wants a stool sample. Do we even have any stools?

And with my daughter, she has Sun-Mars-Venus in Gemini/in the 5th house so absolutely craves creativity, art, knowledge & goss. But also Neptune Rising so slack at admin to a stupendous degree…She would rather draw or listen to music. Neptune Rising is beautiful, charismatic & artistic but can be hopeless re “reality.” But the Multi-Gemini means she has an astonishingly quick mind & encylopediac knowledge of about 100 people and their biz. She just knows things – every bit of info is processed, filed appropriately & stored.

So, without projecting a whole lot onto them, have a look at just your childs Sun, Rising and Moon sign – see if you can see how they’re operating…Nurture the Moon, respect the Rising & let the Sun just shine…And if they’re contradictory influences, see how you can help them work together a bit more. eg; Leo Rising is a show-off & will respond to music like you wouldn’t believe but if the Moon is in Scorpio, they need a locked box, secret diary sort of a thing and the absolute assurance of privacy.

Another example; My son’s Moon is in Virgo conjunct Venus so that’s innately health-conscious. He saw Supersize Me & totally altered his eating habits that very day. He invents his own little health rituals such as eating an entire garlic & fancy kinds of push-ups. So a Moon in Virgo child feels secure with healthy rituals & would love – for example-  his/her own diary or scheduler. A Moon in Libra child would be more likely to respond to aromatherapy than other Moons – maybe even tidy a room if they get to spritz a little something around later. Aries anything needs to compete & will go psycho-bats if give the kind of well-meaning goo-goo that they can’t. Taurus hates having their stuff moved around.

So I will do more along these lines in future Astro-Baby…

Astro-Beauty: Do You Embody Your Rising Sign?

Chanel Cruise 2010

“If one is a greyhound, why try to look like a pekingese,” enquired the acerbic Virgoan Edith Sitwell – a biography of her was called A Unicorn Among Lions and there are natural echoes of The Ugly Duckling.

But the interesting astro idea is that your Rising and/or Ascendent sign really IS your best look.  If you do not know your Rising/Ascendent sign, you can figure it out via Astrodienst or via an astrologer. Once you have it, read that along with your Sun sign in any scope…See how it feels…

Do you embody your Rising Sign astrologically? It makes fashion/image a LOT easier once you accept it and – for astro-fiends only, look at the house placement of your ruling planet (ruler of the ascendent) for the BASE energy of your Look…I swear it makes AMAZING sense upon pondering. You can also have fun looking to fashion/image choices at 7 year intervals – 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 etc – as these are all strong Saturn-Uranian flashpoints.

And of course if you have any BIG outer planet (Uranus, Pluto, Neptune) sitting on our Ascendent (such transits take at least 18 months) then  will perform a spectacular makeover, ready or NOT.  Ascendent astro WORKS. If you need to buy new clothes, wait until Venus is hovering nearby your Asc. Anyway, I am interested in the query – does your look embody your rising sign?

Aries Rising would need bold, primary colours – especially red. Taurus old world luxe & texture v.important. Gemini – trend fiend. Kataka would SO slink around in vintage. Leo, like a Versace look & blinged  up with golden aura. Virgo; precise, layered and with some thought behind it. Libra; classic bombshell. Scorpio; black leather, Sagg; boho & gear from their travels. Cap; austere, power. Aqua; prob the same thing ALL the time but it works? Pisces; crystally yoga wear & aura enhancing hues…

Signs In Denial

cdtt_178He Says He’s Not Really A  Saggo

The other night, at kickboxing class, i was partnered with a Scorpio. When she told me her sign, she said “Oh well I’m a Scorpio but none of that stuff fits me. I don’t have any of the Scorpio traits.”  Then she proceeded to belt the shit out of me to the point that i had to seriously engage just to not be knocked over & express various relatively Scorpionic opinions. Not so much the actual opinions but their vehemence and tint of obession.

“…My boyfriend’s put on weight as he’s studying so hard. I can’t stand it. I won’t tolerate even a gram of extra fat. Not on me, not on him…I do 1000 crunches a day…I am locked into an endless power struggle with him. But i don’t care. Truth be told, I kind of like it. Relationships with no power dynamics bore me….And the sex is amazing…I am going to do whatever it takes to get on television this year…My co-worker is so infuriating. I am plotting to end his employment…” And all the while this intense, fixed gaze, like a Barn Owl.

She is, said the Scorpio Sex Academic, clearly a Scorpio-in-Denial. My friend Not-The-Typical Virgo is constantly decrying her lack of “real” Virgoan traits to the world even as she gently chides one for various sins against etiquette, puncutation & an orderly existence. I knew a Leo once who said she deplored ostentatious grooming & liked to be understated yet her ego was IMMENSE only she felt herself to have such natural chutzpah as to be above the actual plebian crap such as WASHING that most of us do to be attractive etc.

AQUARIANS are the worst offenders. And not only the men. They are prime candidates for “well none of that eccentric stuff fits me, I’m intensely normal” when they’re SO bats…Arieans are the least likely to be in denial about their Sun Sign traits – they love being the Alpha Sign enough to OWN it. And some peeps blur cusp lines (the boundary between two Sun Signs) just as people claim to be living in Salubrious Heights when really they’re down there in East Zemblanity…Not that there is anything innately wrong with any of the signs, but those people born WELL within a particular sign, then claiming that they’re “on the cusp…” like it means anything remind me of real estate agents blurring boundaries.

Which sign do you think is the most likely to be In Denial?
