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.

Venus Enters Taurus

Welcome Home Venus! 

Today marks a moment when something right happen in this world -- Venus entered Taurus! One of its homes! (Yes, bitch has two of them!) This one is the one filled with the comfort, sensuality and love. This means indulgences are par for the course, as it's only when you are satiated that this transit will have done its job. So, from now until June 23, loosen up the collar and belt, as it's okay to spoil yourself just a little more. Yes, just one more....

Maru, Patron Saint of Venus in Taurus

As for places, per sign in which to go at it a bit longer and stronger:
Aries: Shopping and owning more things. It's a luxury you can afford to give yourself now.
Taurus: Be selfish all round, as you work hard and now is the time for you to play harder.
Gemini: Sleep in, daydream and escape. Flex your brain in an enthralling way!
Cancer: Be original. Standing out is necessary to lead the way and start a new revolution.
Leo: Ambition and status is all that you'll want and all that you need now.
Virgo: Everybody loves hearing how your mind works. Feel free to share all your stories.
Libra: Who cares how many times you'll want sex now? A strong sexual appetite is a sign of health.
Scorpio: You'll want everything in two's now, like a date everywhere you go or the same shoes in two different colors. Call it OCD, co-dependence or luck. Either or, it works.

Sagittarius: Let out the know-it-all in you and share your 2¢ all around town. Your advice is needed in this world.
Capricorn: Bragging slyly and efficiently is an art form you'll happily perfect now.
Aquarius: Laying low, in your comfort zone, is just what the universe orders for you. Yes, stay put!
Pisces: Everything you say now will be poetry. Feel free to teach it and preach it.

New Moon Solar Eclipse In Taurus (AKA The Full Pink Moon, The Full Sprouting Grass Moon, The Egg Moon or the Full Fish Moon!)

Sweet Surprises Popping In Everywhere!

Of course, there would be such grandeur in the name of the full moon now, with the height of spring peaking in its ripeness, giving something juicy for all to bite into! 

Yes, despite the harsh times of the full moon eclipse in Aries that started this roller coaster on April 15th, to the grand cardinal cross that formed in the sky throughout the month, to now the benevolent moon of steady-eddy Taurus, it's been one big mash-up of chaotic and challenging. However, it's now time for the good part and to plant seeds that you grow from, as new moons and solar eclipses dictate. 

Finally, there are positive new beginnings, opportunities and chance encounters that can spark something special and enduring in your life. Wishes, miracles and love happen under these skies, so open wide your mind, heart and spirit, as we head into Tuesday's celestial action that is at its starting point at 2:14am EST and is at its most powerful for the next 5 days.

Don't worry, even if you miss out on the 5 days, you still have one month to the day that fate can roll its lucky dice for you. So, sit back, relax and enjoy life through all your senses, because the pleasantly visceral slice of life is going to be served up to you a la mode!

As per where each sun sign and rising sign will likely give receive the magic: (Also note, if you are born in the early middle part of Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn or Scorpio, you will have the best chance of getting a bigger dose of the pie. Second in line would be early middle born Cancer and Pisces. Early middle part would be 27th to the 10th of each month.)

Aries: Money! Money! Money! Stretch out your hands, because this is jackpot time! Money to sink your teeth into and make proper investments with.

Taurus: Revel in new opportunities and new ways to think of yourself. You'll discover new talents you never thought you had and others will want some!

Gemini: People from the past will help you you in an unexpected way. Surprise! Surprise! Leopards can change their spots!

Cancer: Your humanity will have a way to express itself and for that, it can lead you down a new road that has you leading a revolution. Hoorah!

Leo: You rule and you know it! Now, everyone will get it too -- and best of all, your bank account will be showing it too, as you'll gain more than a title, but rewards that show it too.

Virgo: A spiritual awakening is heading towards you, which can have you acting out spontaneously and adventurously. Go with its flow, you are one with all now!

Libra: Something lost will get found and it'll bring you cash, power and haters -- a trifecta of perfection that secretly will cheer you to the bone.

Scorpio: Resolution, harmony and equality will have you understanding commitment in a new and much more mature way. Expect the universe to show you karma in a beautiful way.

Sagittarius: New day-to-day routines will bring challenge and happiness, as the grunt work of yesterdays will begin to fade. Purpose and direction will get more solid than ever. Love it!

Capricorn: The hunt will get intense: Prepare to be chased down or expect to do the chasing down. Either or, it'll be the best catch of the day, giving you something delicious to feed on, in every inch.

Aquarius: Dream homes and rock-star living takes sacrifice, but think of it like a challenge and trust when it comes to cashing in or off your transactions now, it will be in your favor.

Pisces: Talk is cheap. Thankfully the words you hear now will have substance in which you can trust and learn. Yes, a divine understanding and exchange is underway!

Moon In Taurus

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.

New Moon Solar Eclipse In Taurus

Thud...



Salvation is coming and it'll end with a big thud, as in a solid mass of miracles flying from out of nowhere, out to find you and transport you onto a new path. Under this Solar New Moon Eclipse in Taurus, it's all about new beginnings and solid foundations. So, pay attention to opportunities that pop up, especially is you are a Taurus born in the middle of your birth-sign or a Virgo or a Capricorn. You three will be the biggest winners, in line for this lucky aspect.  Next up are the water signs, especially Scorpios born in the middle of their sign, then Pisces and Cancer. Not that the other signs will be missing out, but you are just not in front of the priority line at this cosmic kitchen. Don't worry, everyone will get their day.

As for the areas per sign in which this aspect will touch and speed up a new direction, it is as follows:

Aries: Money

Taurus: A Wild Card of Luck

Gemini: Psychological Breakthroughs

Cancer: Networks

Leo: Career

Virgo: Adventure

Libra: Commissions

Scorpio: Contracts

Sagittarius: Responsibilities

Capricorn: Love

Aquarius: Home

Pisces: Community

Mercury Enters Taurus

Still Would Stand All Time

For two weeks, we'll be under the haze of Mercury in Taurus, which has its good points and its bad. Firstly, a Mercury transit usually takes 3 weeks minimum, but working at such a sluggish speed, it will feel like a month before Mercury moves home into Gemini. However, getting just a taste of this delicious and sensual vibe does have its rewards. So, until next time, focus your brain on strength, love and comfort.

Mars Enters Taurus

Get back up.

Due to the nature of this transit, things move slow...as you can tell. Until May 31, this will be the vibe, but it doesn't mean to give up or let it ride, but to examine the moments with all your senses and to take full advantage of your resources. Nobody gets ahead alone, so bear that in mind and share your life accordingly. As for more detailed info, here is my prior post on Mars in Taurus:

As for how I celebrated this day, I hired an intern. Here he is: Lil J Superstar!

He is overqualified for the position, but he took on the challenge anyway. Every start of my day, we conference call. I get reminded of anything I ask him to remind me of and he loads me with relevant info for the day. Today, I got a puppet show and the other day he took me to the top of the world. See how overqualified he is!!!

Full Moon In Taurus

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.

Love it more when it sounds too good to be true.

Jupiter goes direct in Taurus

Happy days are here again!

After four long months, Jupiter, the planet of luck, is moving forward again and setting up a more fluid path to happiness, as in no more heavy interruptions that make you have to question every step or make you work harder for the carrot at the end of the stick. Yes, happy days are here again!

Sing along:
Chorus:
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now!
There's no one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone;
There'll be no more from now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

So long sad times!
Go long bad times!
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times!
Cloudy gray times,
You are now a thing
Of the past, cause:

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.

Jupiter goes retrograde in Taurus

Come again?


It's the tail end of summer here in Kiki-ville, so trying to stay on top of everything has been a bit more hectic. Throw in an earthquake, hurricane, a massive stream of deadlines, negotiations, random appointments, only a few more days of perfect beach weather and an inability to be an early bird, and well, you have me aligned to work at retrograde speed -- but this time around, it's Jupiter's bump into reverse...

However, since Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion, despite it hauling its fat ass backwards, it doesn't mean anything bad or as intense as say, a Mercury retrograde. Jupiter is always benevolent, so this mode merely transforms the energy around into a more internal form, and one that may also bring the past back into relevance, but in a positive way... 

So, as it goes, this is the exact list given for Jupiter in Taurus, as in what it would bring in terms of luck for each sign. Keep this in mind until December 25, because until then these will be the same areas in line for a change in trajectory, as in reaching within you for realizations and reactions that will bring the satisfaction...

Aries (March 21-April 19): Money, Possessions, Security

Jupiter enters Taurus

Holy Cow!

Time to do a happy dance!!!! Yes, Jupiter, the planet of luck, makes its move today and this time into stable and sensual Taurus!!!! This means new changes, and all for the better, as new twists and turns will be around every corner, building up to a crescendo of happiness not to have been seen for 12 years!

You know it, Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system typically only moves into a new sign once per year, bestowing on that sign the biggest deluge of luck above all others. However, the good part of this all is that every one gets a chance to be the king or queen of Jupiter, but only once every 12 years--but of course, being that is is so huge and benevolent, everyone does get a piece of it, in various areas of their lives every year. So, with this transit being in solid Taurus, chances are the results of these surprises will be longer lasting and give a lot of room to grow from, as it is  the sign of investment, security and comfort. As for what you can look forward to, per sign and rising sign, now until June 12, 2012,  is receiving lucky opportunities in these various areas of your life:

OMG, emotion overload on Bethenny Ever After finale!!!! I know the finale aired a little while back, but this weekend I got to have a cable TV siesta and wound up watching the last few shows On Demand....Now, I can appreciate Bethenny--girl is a Scorpio. I get where she is coming from on so many levels....but still, you know, it's a reality show...but since I am in front of the box, I can't help myself...Anyway, I am in total awe of that girl. She really made it happen and we all saw it. The scene where she gets the official news and when Jason gives her his little congratulations speech and addressed everything, the fact she did it herself and she didn't need anyone else, and when she knew to say it's not luck--ahhhh! Does it get better than that? Fairy tale endings can come true.
