Venus Enters Pisces

Mission Impossible

R.I.P. SkyMall

Pisces is the sign of miracles, compassion and redemption and in Venus, it means, "ANYTHING can happen!"

Yes, with this form of power taking the reigns of Venus, the pleasure planet, it means striving for the fantastical is a must — as it's the only way to be now until February 20! After all, if you don't go to the extreme, you'd only be doing an universal injustice to yourself. Pour your heart completely into your cause and make it matter. Have everything you believe be what your world is about. As for mantras to push your truest desires, it is as follows:

Aries: Dreams are blueprints.

Taurus: Humanity is real; trust it.

Gemini: Kicking ass is the only aphrodisiac you need.

Cancer: Words are power.

Leo: Intimacy is medicine, passion the cure.

Virgo: Equality happens.

Libra: Getting it together only requires one step — choosing so.

Scorpio: Inflated egos are a prerequisite for legendary love stories.

Sagittarius: Love is the foundation of everything worthwhile.

Capricorn: Fun stress-free flirtation is the only kind that works.

Aquarius: Comfort is romance.

Your Heart Is In The Song

Venus Enters Capricorn

The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get 

As the holiday season warms hearts, in comes Venus into Capricorn to put a chill back into the wintry air and stir the pot. No, not the most pleasant place for this pleasure-seeking planet, as this disciplined, harsh and authoritative influence will make everyone harder to please. To circumvent this energy and make it work for you, here are 5 foolproof sex tips to get your goat smiling every time.

·      Going into one’s psyche, to see what makes it tick is a Capricorn trait — as they are the sign of structure. When it comes to sex, this means taking power via ropes, blindfolds and perhaps a whip. Yes, go beyond those basic shades of gray.

·      As the sign of status, showing your baby how much you love them through your wallet is a surefire way to get their libido pumping. No, money can’t buy you love, but during this transit, it will buy you mind-blowing sex.

·      Forget the PDA with your baby when you are out, as playing hard to get and leaving your passion to be unleashed behind closed doors is your best foreplay tip. Just a little coldness will go a long way now.

·      Go for positions like doggy style, reverse cowgirl, or crisscross now. Avoiding eye contact will make it easier to get off, as it’s less about the emotion and more about the techniques.  

·      As for turning on your baby through style, it won’t be sexy lingerie, but what you will wear on top of it. Military styles, crispy lines and formal business attire with the lace and silk underneath will be the perfect order in how your baby will want to peel you naked now.

It's Too Good To Be True

Today, starts the cycle of Venus in Sagittarius: the wily, winsome optimist that lives life to the fullest 24-7 and will believe what it wants to believe. Symbolized by the centaur, Sags are strong, physical creatures that live to spread their ideals, learn and spiritually keep evolving. Sexually, this is one of the fiercest places for Venus, as it's all about living for after orgasmic revelations. To take on this fiery and dreamy influence best, here are 5 no-fail tips to heat the flames from now until December 10:

1.     Spontaneity is what drives Sagittarians. This is a perfect time to nab those shy crushes by going for it. Put the moves on your baby when least expected.

2.     Fresh air and being one with nature is a Sagittarian ritual, even more so when it can mean getting it on out there too. In the woods, on the beach or parking somewhere scenic, landscapes will rev  libidos now.

3.     Sagittarians rule travel and adventure, which means donning a foreign accent, creating an exotic ambiance in the bedroom or role-playing strangers that meet on a layover with instant chemistry is the kind of fun that will trip the light fantastic now.

4.     Outrageous ballsiness is what Sagittarians are all about. Be blunt, bold and bad ass — as that is all the aphrodisiac you need to turn it up in yourself and in your boo.

5.     As rulers of competition, Sagittarians love to sweat to gain their victories. Bring out your edge in sport, board games or any sort of odd idea in which you go head-to-head with your baby and despite who actually wins in points, know the both of you will come away champions.

Get It On, Bang A Gong

If you’re feeling more like a horny teenager these days, it’s because Scorpio is thrusting itself into pleasure planet Venus from October 23 until November 16. Plus, Scorpio is dominating the sun and moon. Don’t fight fate. Dive into your deepest and darkest desires. Only when you’re willing to jostle the skeletons in your closet, to feel the rush of danger and the intensity of insatiability, will you be getting the point of Scorpio in this position.

Pisces: Exotic is your erotic, as anything that brings new experiences and knowledge is your everything now.

Venus In Leo 5 Must Do’s

Summer is in burning bright with the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter all in Leo --  now getting even more brilliant with Venus, the pleasure planet, stepping onto the red carpet zone of Leo until September 25, creating a starry stellium (4 or more planets in one sign) of glamour, glitz and excess, as the lifestyle planet in the flashiest sign will demand nothing less than top shelf living.

3.     Party! Host a gathering and introduce friends to other friends, as this is your time to sit at the head of the table and rule your scene.

4.     Hair! As the ruler of hair, this is your luckiest time to try a new do or show off yours in a grander way —as it’ll be your best crowning glory now.

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!)

Venus Enters Aries

Hmmm, feels a lot like a hate-fuck...

As you should know, Venus is the planet that rules pleasure, so when it enters a sign like Aries, it's all about the fire, aggression and immediacy. It's a confusing phase, as what drives you the hardest is what typically pisses you off the most. Yes, it's going to feel a lot like a hate-fuck, when dirty-yummy-whoring-twists bring you in and out of visceral passions that make you feel as if your guts are being seared out, but also as if the sun only shines for you. 

So, feed your fury with fire, as this is the time when turning up the heat all the way is the only way to get hot and to get anything good from it all will mean hitting the pedal to the metal on everything that scares, challenges, confuses or aggravates. Make it all about you and fate will not fail you -- and you'll have until May 28th to complete this mission.

As for what, per sign (and rising), to place your energies for best results:
Aries: Image, new ideas and your integrity.
Taurus: Charity, inner peace and artistic endeavours.
Gemini: Group projects, technological ventures and your individuality.
Cancer: Career, authority and status.
Leo: Spirituality, travel and teaching.
Virgo: Sex, money and power.
Libra: Partnerships, balance in your environment and beauty.
Scorpio: Health, time-management and detailed-work.
Sagittarius: Creativity, performance and romance.
Capricorn: Ancestry, money for rainy days and home.
Aquarius: Learning, community and communicating.
Pisces: Generosity, shopping and pampering.

Venus Enters Sagittarius

If I Can Dream 

At 1:54 pm today until November 5, 2013 Venus will be in Sagittarius, which means excitement, adventure and the beyond! Yes, the pleasure planet is going to be pushing into the sign of idealism, wisdom and catharsis, which means this won't be a time anyone will get bored, as the universe will be out to throw in spontaneous surprises that can have you crossing over into new territory farther and wider than you'd ever expect. This isn't the time to hold back, as bravery will get rewarded. So, muster up all the courage, enthusiasm and hope you can and realize once you start, you won't/can't stop.

As for what areas per sign that will get affected (Remember to always read for your sun sign and rising sign!):

Aries: Lift limits and say, "To hell with it," to anything that doesn't pleasantly open up your perspective and spiritual state. Today and forward will have you seeking out a new point of view that can be used for pleasure and profit. If anyone is going to exploit you, make it you, because you're worth it.

Taurus: You'll be having an itch that you can't resist scratching and at weird times, in whatever way you can. As they say, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with." Of course, these days, it can easily turn one in the same through sheer determination.

Gemini: Relationships and making peace within yourself in a new way is going to take a hold of you in a refreshing style. So slurp it all up, because the more you drink up its beauty, harmony and good ole fairness, pieces of the puzzle will fall into place quicker and more assertively.

Cancer: The details will reveal all. So, look for cracks of light in your looming darkness and slip through, because destiny is waiting. Sure, there will be some humility when making the transition, but what you get will far outweigh the price you pay.

Leo: There is nothing your ego can't push through now. So, play bigger bets, because the jackpot is calling you name. Use your imagination and believe in your visions, because there is no such thing as impossible now.

Virgo: Being as brash as you want to will feel good and show others you can handle the pressure to do it in your own unique way. So, show yourself off and take a higher step up the ladder of success. Own it and it will be yours.

Libra: Let your mouth run with the wind, because it'll be in pouring out your heart and soul from the rawest of places that others you want to hear you will finally really get to hear you. It's all about communication, learning and being part of an exchange, so stand your ground without sugarcoating.

Scorpio: If you have it, spend it. This isn't the time to cut the corners when it comes to pleasure and feeling luxuriously happy. Comfort is part of your life, love it or not, so do not compromise the style in which you enjoy it. There are good lessons that come with excess, so show up for that class now.

Sagittarius: Consider your leash to be cut and you are free to run wild and as naked as you want to. This energy will pour into more than just your love life too. This will mean a revived energy that has you reaffirming your invincibility. 

Capricorn: Forget practicality and accept whatever bizarre compulsions you obsess over now. They come with a bigger message than norm, so let yourself feel out the recklessness. If anything, this again will prove that you always land on your feet.

Aquarius: Dive into swarms of everybody and be the life of the party. You will know how to turn it on and off more than ever these days, but if you are doing your best, you'll have it 24-7 to help you connect your dots, as it'll all seem easier and more spry than ever.

Pisces: This is your world for the taking and it's all up to you on how much you grab, because the opportunities will be pouring in and there will be many new paths that can open up, all with buckets of gold and happiness. Yes, expect a Cinderella moment.

Wow, I got an e-mail wondering where my post about my outfits was...loved that....It's the pending Mercury Rx arriving in Scorpio, October 21...I know it's far away, but with Venus in Scorpio, I just can't help languishing myself a little plusher.

So, the ostrich feather coat in Aquarius (down below) says it all. LOVE! Yes, I got it on eBay. It got bloody with one battle, to the last seconds. Then, I let go--and gladly so. I love the fullness of mine. Just borderline ridiculous in size....and actually, I saw the one I got a few hours before the final auction of the one I was DYING for and it made me die a lot less for the one giving me restless sleep...So, push came to shove, but yeah, at the end I puttered out.

As for the one I got, I just love it. I love the trim of the longer feathers at edges....And besides getting to wear it for a vignette, I debuted at the opera--The Anna Nicole opera that is! It was purrrrrrfect. So fun! The sets alone were amazing to see, and it all just worked. Pulling off opera in English is tough, in my opinion--but obviously, Anna Nicole is the perfect opera to do, if you're going to go there. It worked.

In honor of ANS, under my coat, I wore it with a one-sleeve stretch jersey leopard print dress from the Jersey Shore (Asbury Park, Boardwalk. Style Rocket. Cute Stuff.) Total strangers came up to me to compliment me. Two women at different times said I am dressed exactly how they would dress if they could. That was sweet....Oh course, my fave is always the bad reactions people get of me. Just loved the old lady that wouldn't let me sit in a chair for not even a second, because her old man was coming back. The tone in her voice. She thought I was a tramp. Loved that. I wanted to sit on her lap and tickle her flaps.

...As for the main outfit in this week's Style By Sign, my dress is from the internet. French Connection. I love it. It took a double take to see what the images were and after that, I was sold because I love that motif. (I do have 4 planets in Sag.)...I saw the dress at a store first, but was like, "No, somewhere this dress costs way less...and voila, got it for 40% less. Ah, the internet. What did I do with myself before you? ...Ah, am I already that old?....

Dark Urges, One: You, Zero.

Welcome to the most somber time of the year with the tail end of summer ending and needing to think about living with a certain sense of reserve due to the winter. This is the time when everything "dies", which pretty much sums Venus in Scorpio. Now is that time to dig deeper into pain and pleasure.


I love my thug cameo.

A five-day odyssey with one of my favorite boy/girl. Shlomi and Mazy Mazeltov and me hit Amsterdam and it just happen to be pride week. Weeeheee, the perfect adventure! (Minus the AirBnB experience, which included walking in and seeing a stray cat chilling on the bed, a toilet plunger in the shower and being asked to take out her garbage -- a person I paid way more money to than the place was worth....and that was just a few of the things that grossed me out.)

Do What You Must, To Get Yourself Off

Venus in Virgo isn't a time romance, love and fantasy happens in the way most dream. Instead, it's the mechanics of those things that will go under the microscope.  At best, this just means fine tuning your pleasures to work for you, or at the worst, be driven like a slave for the sake of getting off. Either or, it's meant to bring out the best of your pleasures for easily accessibility and efficiency. So, as you enter this phase, which will last until August 16, put your thinking cap on for what you crave, because results is always the aim for any Virgo-esque transit, and this one happens to involve feeling good.

As per sign, what will need working on:

Aries: Being humble and of service to others.

Taurus: Enforcing your ego.

Gemini: Trusting your foundation for love to grow on.

Cancer: Speaking your needs and emotions. Saying what you want directly.

Leo: Investing into what makes you comfortable.

Virgo: Setting priorities back onto you.

Libra: Having a good conscience for all that gets you off.

Scorpio: Inciting a revolutionary attitude about love.

Sagittarius: Putting all that you love on a pedestal.

Capricorn: Allowing your spirituality to evolve.

Aquarius: Being brave to dig deeper into your emotions.

Pisces: Making sure you get what you are give.

Be careful of what you wish for... It is probably obvious, I'm a gal that likes to having her get ups, but with Style By Sign, I'm now on a shopping treadmill! Yes, I spend many of my spare waking minutes hunting for new looks and have found a new appreciation for eBay.... And that's where I scored this cute scooter dress on this week's segment. It's actually a part of an adorable suit, which will be seen in full in the fall... And argh, learned again not to disregard label tags. It's made of rayon and says dry clean only, but I decided to hand wash anyway and duh, it did shrink. That made me sad to know, as I realized I fucked up something new I bought, but it made me happy to know I didn't gain a few mysterious pounds in just days.

As for the rest of my look: earrings are my grandmother's; horse shoe locket necklace from CosmicGirl on Etsy, inside a pic of my favorite Santa Claus; gray shirt with black bow from Forever 21; brown booties from somewhere on 23rd St. between 5th and 6th; and adorable collar socks made by Salome Mamrikishvili. I met her at Artists and Fleas in Brooklyn, where you can find her every Sunday hocking her cute wares.

As for this week's characters: The eccentric aunt has a amazing DollsvilleNYC pink flamingo fascinator. I bought it a while back and got to wear it to a camp wedding and have been dying to have an occasion to break it out again--and here we are! My pearls are from various sources and the dress is my mom's from the 80s.

My Dorothy Gale intepretation is comprised of white chiffon top from American Apparel, Blue Gingham skirt from American Apparel, collar socks are made by Salome Mamrikishvili and Red Bow Wedges are from Melissa.
