Full Moon Eclipse In Aries

There are going to be causalities.

Today begins the Aries and Libra eclipses that will continue into 2016. Yes, you read right, approximately 3 years of the forces of war and peace that will strike suddenly and periodically. It'll be as beautiful as reviling...and as for the dates for this to hit on or near, it'll be a 5 day window before and after or to the date a month prior or after:

October 18 2013 – Lunar Eclipse [25 Aries 45]
April 15 2014 – Lunar Eclipse [25 Libra 16]
October 8 2014 – Lunar Eclipse [15 Aries 05]
April 4 2015 – Lunar Eclipse [14 Libra 24]
September 28 2015 – Lunar Eclipse [4 Aries 40]
March 23 2016 – Lunar Eclipse [3 Libra 17]

These eclipses are the most relevant for Aries and Libra, bringing changes to identity and committed relationships. Whether is is work or personal, it's anyone's guess, but it's always about learning compromise, balance and command. There are many roles to maintain a healthy and productive relationship and in this cycle, you'll find out which ones suite you better, as it's time to update. Think of them as cosmic fastballs that you either hit or miss. Sudden decisions will come with an eclipse, so be ready to see the true strength of your impulses.

...And for tomorrow's, Aries and Libra born in their sign during the last week and a half of the sign's transit or have a rising sign of Aries and Libra in the later part of the degrees (which will need looking up by an astrologer or on the Internet with your birth time info on hand.) will be the ones with the highest chance of feeling tomorrow's lunar eclipse.

The next group after with the highest chance of affliction is Cancer and Capricorn (also later born and for rising sign), which will feel it in their home and career. This can bring a change of residence for work or dealings with family, foundations and status. But remember, eclipses bring opportunities or take them out. So, while one cycle can bring a vertical move, the next can pull a rug out from under you. It's all a throw of the dice with eclipses, as their lunar natures are moody.

...So, after that, there is Sagittarius and Gemini, Leo and Aquarius, Pisces and Virgo, and Scorpio and Taurus. Each will have a lower degree of eclipse action -- and if they are later born degrees in sun and rising. Sagittarius and Leo will be the next to feel some strife, but because it is an eclipse and they are known to work in twos--which in astrological terms, means the axis is the thing that gets affected. Think of it like a chain reaction. So, it's Sagittarius and Gemini, Leo and Aquarius--and an example of the eclipse can be a Sagittarius can meet someone they instantly connect with, but hooking up with that person can ruin a friendship.

With eclipses, there is never just one finite action and fast decision making is always a part of it. It's a test of who you are in that area of your life in which the eclipse strikes....And, if all that makes sense, great. If not, reread slower.

...And as for the other signs: late born Sagittarians and Geminis can expect love and friendship issues to clash. Late born Leo and Aquarians will deal with integrity and intellectual challenges. Later degree Pisces and Virgos will feel it with their security and intimacy. While late born Scorpio and Taurus issues dealing with health and day-to-day routines will go under the gun.

It Feels So Good


Here we are, heading into the final week of the summer vacay time and Mars is entering Leo tomorrow, which means a final close out that will leave us all feeling a bit banged up, but in all the best ways (if you can help it). For tips to make your week as stylin as possible, click into Style By Sign, the most fun way to get your weekly horoscopes! Also, so easy and inspiring -- and less than 2 minutes of your life! What else can save you for just 2 minutes of your time? Anyway, this week, my fave video for purposes obvious to those who know is Scorpio!

As for how to Bite My Style:
My pink spades dress is from BB Dakota. I bought it very long ago at a surf shop in Ocean City, Maryland. I can't decided if I like it or hate it. It had a weird fit in some areas, but then a good fit in other. It's cute and all, and everyone seems to like it... Today, even my intern said when he watched my video said, "You look beautiful and I'm not just saying it. I'm saying it because it's true."

Yes, that little bundle of love is a Leo Rising and they do know how to lay on the charm...In fact, the dress I will be wearing for the Sept. 16th is something he told me I also looked beautiful in too. I wore it to pick him up from school. When he saw me, he didn't even say hi. He just went into, "You look beautiful." (Yeah, he's my favorite)

...And as for my jewelry, it's from the usual places: earrings from g-ma, charm bracelet from Archie McPhee Mystery Box I got from my friend Arion one year, my black cocktail ring is from Amsterdam and the necklace is from In God We Trust. Other things thrown into the series this week: the pink shoes I am holding as "my designer shoes" in Libra are from Amsterdam and my red satchel in Pisces is from Berlin's KaDeWe.

Sneak peak my upcoming Style By Sign look.

I find it ironic I started Style By Sign just after getting all my grandmother's costume jewelry. She's been part of my looks every week, which is such a lovely homage, since I know my life, especially my career, wouldn't of been possible without her in so many ways. Plus, funny enough, when I was little, she did suggest broadcast journalism as my future career. I think since in my day it appeared to be a top job that Asian women had an advantage (at least in NYC). While I never aspired to work in front of the camera growing up, focusing my efforts on being a nihilistic writer type, I am totally excited and into my glamorous turn of events and the amazing opportunities that have come my way.

This week, I have G-Ma's clip-on pearl button earrings. Dress from Forever 21, Necklace from In God We Trust, bracelets a gift from my friend Ingrid, mint and gold ring bought in Istanbul, pearl-burst ring bought at a flea market in Berlin, sparkly mint green ring from Modcloth, white belt from the black dress I got from the Castro in Tel Aviv and my ankle strap heels are Fornarina.

This week, there are several vignettes!!!! I love it. One of my most favorite parts of making SBS is playing the characters. I don't have pics of all of them, but the red carpet look. The fox stole is from my wacky sis-in-law Michelle and the dress is from Jozie, my make-up and hair hottie. She snatched it from her sister's closet, tags and all...hahahah...Oh and the bejeweled stilettos are from some totally discount store on Delancey Street that I bought on the way to a wedding. They weren't going to be really be seen with my outfit, and for one time use they did the job.

From deep inside your body will churn.

I use to think rat road kill was the most disgusting of all the urban decay, never stopping to snap the many dead pigeons I’ve seen — as they never looked so detrimental or so shockingly gruesome that I had to shoot it…at the least, they get to fly, not like rats who never know freedom beyond the want of survival…. but today, today I changed my mind…

















Those INTESTINES! THAT EYE! THAT EYE IN THE BEAK!!!! It’s just TOO horrid for words. It’s SO INTENSE; it’s impossible not to feel as if you can smell the repulsion from just looking.(Click on pic for the complete vomit-inducing effect.)

...and speaking of intensity, and Scorpionic insanities, today my obsession with The Real Housewives of New Jersey took control and I had to trek my ass over to see the mess that is Danielle, who was doing a Q&A/book signing for her new memoir, The Naked Truth. Through traffic I rode my bike from way east downtown, through the midtown rush hour and on over to the upper west side, making it just in time to catch her in all her glory: the spray-tanned skin, the tight black dress, the perfectly manicured nails, the blown out hair, the utterly botoxed face and of course, nipples sticking right out to say, "Hello!" It just makes me love her even more.




























...and of the most memorable moments of this otherwise fairly anti-climatic event: the insane fan in the front row that kept raising his hand to give his almost tearful monologues about how she is his inspiration, how fabulous he thinks she is, how she is such a great mom, etc. etc., etc, and how could I not love how she repeated several times throughout the Q&A in a completely solemn tone that she was, "not a victim, but a victor." Pure inspiration!

Moon and Venus in my 8th house

Lurid pleasures.

Here is a video of my two newest heroes. This couple came to the park today and set up a tent to get it on outside on this beautiful spring afternoon. The light hit the tent in just a way, so we were able to see most of the show. The craziest part, when they were done, as we all anxiously awaited them to emerge, out came a well-dressed couple that just walked away, leaving the tent, never to return. LOVE THEM!

Moon and Mars conjunct Leo, in my solar 10th

Feeling on top of the world!

Today I was on Tyra!!! This was my second appearance. My first one was on Oct. 12th, 2009, when I did a segment on astrology and cheaters. Miss Tyra had so much fun, that she requested me back personally to do a whole show! It aired today and here is a special web video I made for them, a quick seduction guide for all the signs, shot after the show.

Oh & PS, for some odd reason I can't comment back to questions in the comments, but THANKS FOR THE SWEET COMMENTS and keep the coming!!! I love comments!

(And I have no idea why there is this big gap here. Can't get rid of it.)

Moon in the 8th

Twisted fascinations.

I can't get enough of taking pictures of things I am utterly repulsed by. It's a compulsion, and thanks to living in my lovely part of town where there is something repellent that happens every day, I am never at a loss... Rushing on my way to make a train to the beach, after over sleeping and missing two ferries, off with no time to spare, this made me stop and back-up:


















The most revolting thing about it, besides that tail, the one intact ear and that expression that seems to be on its face is that I can't even make sense of it: how the tail is by the head and the feet are facing each other. Did it get snapped in half? How? Was it really that gargantuan in size? Is there more than one? ...The grotesqueness is too big to bear.

P.S. By the time I got back almost 11 hours later, it was completely gone--and not because someone cleaned it up, but because there was just that much traffic. (Click on photo for total revulsion.)

Pluto and the moon in the eighth: the house of death, mystery and transformation

Morbid curiosities.

As a Scorpio, I can't help myself from being intrigued and repulsed by roadkill. Lucky me, in my neck of the woods, there seems to be a high number of animal causalities during the warmer months. This one was particularly disturbing, since in fresh squished form, it looked like it was a pleasantly cute creature. The next day, not so much.

(Update: by day three, all evidence was gone.)

The sun harmonizes my moon.

A dreamy creamy goodness fills the day.

Thank god for the magic in the air, to keep my head floating above the clouds, as this could have been the day I lost it and broke out the Uzi. There is no fixable human flaw more repellent to me than B.O., an assault so powerful that it drives me to instant and utter repulsion. Also, when coupled with obnoxious and entitled behavior, even worst. Today, I attended my first Wagner opera at the MET — 5.5 hours of stark drama and heavy emotion. Who the hell do I get seated next to for this entire extravaganza? A large, sweaty, underdressed, smelly, serious opera enthusiast poured partially into my seat, leaving me squished and gasping for fresh air. At the beginning, I considered leaving. After all, I wasn't equipped with a gas mask and ten tanks of compassion to deal — but this was the opera, so I tried to have some composure, some couth and certain level of diplomacy. Besides, my cheery little attitude wasn’t going to let me down.

However, for over the entire course of the evening, I was scooted to the edge of my seat, doubled over, trying to stay in an air current free of the stench. Every too often, when I did catch it, I’d try to convince my brain it was like being in an old library — but nothing was having it and my resilience was breaking down. Plus, it got worst as the evening went on and every time he went to lift his tiny little binoculars to his large and meaty head, the odor from underneath his pits would plume. Disgusting. To top it off, he had the audacity to tell me to, "Stop it," when I was briefly looking for a mint in my bag — after over 5 hours of constant bombardment of the odiousness of his body smelling like it was rotting from inside out. Seriously, all I have to say if I wasn’t high on what was circulating in the air today, there could have been a beat down in the nosebleed section of the MET. If anything, it is true, suffering and staying throughout the performance is a total testament of Wagner’s intensity, but if only he could of also included, “Practice good hygiene or die,” as subliminal messages in his opera, it would have been just that more divine. Bravo!

Piscean pile-up: Mars and Venus conjunct, with Moon humping Uranus off to its side

Bizarre emotional releases.

At the time the idea of my day gets blown in a bad way and perfection is officially unattainable, I often indulge myself with letting the whole ship go down the drain. Today, once that switch flipped, I decided I hated everyone. After all, if blame is going to go out, I might as well be fair and make it for everyone. I hated my acupuncturist who cancelled my appointment just because I was 6 minutes late, the slow poke man on the sidewalk that seem to always shift his body in front of mine when trying to pass, the delivery guy for not being at my beckon call, the fricken Con-Ed workers that seem to always be drilling on my street throughout the day and too early in the morning. In fact, I even hated Oprah today...

She had on Susan Smith’s husband and caught up with him since the drowning of his two children in 1995. The first time I hated Oprah was when she had him on a few years after his sons' death. He was already a mess and she was trying to do her job — but in the worst emotionally-idiotic Aquarian way ever, asking if it gets harder and pointing out how at that time of the interview, the boys would have been of the age of starting little league — driving in the images and nails further into his heart and making him cry even harder. Sure, it’s TV, but there are other ways to inform and not have to take the basest way there…. Even though I love her on normal days and our relationship ratio is .01% irritation and 99.99% admiration, after that particular show, I wasn’t able to watch her for years. Today, that memory came back…and argh, when your relationship with Oprah turns imperfect, you might as well call it a day right then and there.
