Full Moon In Taurus

Celebrating The Love

Romance will be in the air this week, as a Full Moon in Taurus will strike on Thursday at 5:53pm EST. As with all full moons, they are time for celebration and with it in Taurus, which is a sign ruled by Venus and specifically, the love aspect of the planet, this will mean a day for passion to the highest degree. Plus, it completes a two-week cycle from the new moon in Scorpio eclipse, which means commitments (and conclusions) are a priority of the day. As for making it perfect, it means making it date night with you and your baby — or your bestie.

Fire Sign Dating Ideas: Aries, Leo & Sagittarius

Together: Surprise is the key to making a perfect date with your fire sign honey, so have them mark the date down, but don’t let them know where you’re going. Then plan a night of newness — as in hitting a hot new restaurant or taking an extreme dive into something adventurous like an evening at a theme park or going al fresco for a night of making out.

Single: Fire signs can party like no other, so go with your fiery bestie to the latest nightclub or hot new bar to mix and mingle with the possibilities. If you have access to an exclusive party, even better, as VIP status is how fire signs love doing it up.

Water Sign Dating Ideas: Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces

Together: When it comes to love, water signs live for nostalgia. So, even if you’ve only been together for a few months, they will remember those little anniversaries. Go for something that brings back a sweet memory and make the magic happen all over. If you happen to share something while on vacation, recreate the vibe at your home or wear something you wore on that night. It’s all about flashbacks for these sentimental creatures, so book a trip down memory lane.

Single: Water signs are homebodies by nature, so plan a get together to celebrate the full moon with food, movies and gossip and you will have the winning combination to refuel the fires to get back out there to find true love — or better yet, have your guests invite someone you’ve never met and bring the love right to your door.

Air Sign Dating Ideas: Gemini, Libra & Aquarius

Together: Air signs are all about culture, intrigue and being seen at the right places — this means tickets for performances like an opera, ballet, indie bands or the theatre are perfect. If you have to get dressed up, even better, as a little dash of glamour is their cherry on top.

Single: Air signs are networkers by nature. So, go for broke and hit up something that is work related and mix and mingle with like minds. As it goes, people of this sign love to learn — so even if you want to take a class this night or do a group gathering, like go on a ghost hunt, it’ll be these interactive activities that will strike best for these mercurial types.

Earth Sign Dating Ideas: Taurus: Virgo & Capricorn

Together: Romance for this sign means being with their one and only somewhere beautiful and luxurious. They get off on status: fine dining, a night at a 5 star hotel and a spa will be what floats their boat. You can choose one number of those selections or all of them, as the more you plunk down, as in cash, the more they understand your appreciation of them. Not to say they only base their love on that, but cash is a language they easily understand.

Single: There is nothing more gratifying than beautifying oneself and being with their besties. Make a date to do a mani/pedi together or just hit the stores for a shopping fiesta. Spoiling oneself is the way to celebrate oneself, when you are an earth sign and doing it with those closest with you makes it an instant party.

Rock You Like A Hurricane

My 6-Day Hurricane Odyssey:
Hershey to Collegeville to Philadelphia to Trenton to Lower East Side to Brooklyn and back again....



What I learned from Hurricane Sandy:

• When natural disaster is coming, in PA, the water and donuts are the first to go.  
• Sequins are the perfect fashion statement to wear for an extreme weather outing.
• I have no friends above 39th St. 
• Hitchhiking is the fastest way to get around NYC during a power outage.  
• Being a 3-day Takata-Möller was the best! Bonsai for friends that make being a refugee so fun, easy and decadent. 

Full Moon in Taurus

Spoil yourself rotten!

When you have full moon in Taurus lighting up the sky, it means time to settle into your skin and give it what it wants. As the ruler of sensuality, Taurus is all about marinating in what makes you feel good, as in seeing, smelling, touching, tasting and hearing. So whatever it is that puts you in your element, do it, as that is what full moons are about: indulging, celebrating and sharing (and good for up to two weeks)! As for the best ideas per sign in areas to splurge, the list is as follows:

Aries: Buy something expensive and decadent.
Taurus: Do whatever you want. You get the cosmic free pass to abandon all rules and eat, drink and be merry!
Gemini: Dance all night and sleep all day.
Cancer: Enjoy everyone you know, everywhere you go.
Leo: Throw your power around.
Virgo: Book an exotic vacation or take one now!
Libra: Screw until his balls (or something) falls off.
Scorpio: Do everything that makes you feel beautiful.
Sagittarius: Hit a spa!
Capricorn: Let love rule!
Aquarius: Embrace your inner homebody.
Pisces: Let your mouth run wild.

Celebrate your appetite for life.

Postscript 4:04pm 11/24/2010 
I still feel bloated from yesterday, which started way earlier than usual to consume copious amounts of dim sum and then wash it down with a can of orange soda...to then shortly move onto a mochaccino, to then later ingest a bag of coconut M&Ms, a few mice shaped gummies and the majority of a big bag of caramel corn. After, had a side of rigatoni and a 2-meatball sandwich on a brioche, smothered in tomato sauce and cheese...continued later to inhale the rest of the caramel corn, with the  exception of a few kernels, which I left to not feel like a total pig, but when I woke up today, I ate them.

Beautiful memories come rushing back.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS THROUGH THE YEARS AT THE BROOKYLN BOTANICAL GARDEN!

Full moon in Taurus

Happiness, comfort and love!

...After staring at the amazing full moon last night on the corner of some random street in Brooklyn, headed to my friend's house to work on editing a video, stopping at the grocery first to scour for something to bring over...he's a Libra, so, think classy...At C-town, that would be ice cream with the word truffle on it...but unbeknownst to me, my attempt at graciousness turned me into a total hog that scarfed practically the whole container after just one taste shortly after arrival...

The point: If you want a one way ticket to heaven, Haagen-Dazs White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle is the express line...and Libras are so congenial they don't even think it's rude when you bring over something, then eat it all yourself.
