Hey good-looking What’s your Sign Look Like?

In my years of research on signs and charts, I have noticed some trends in the signs and how they look. Here are a few of my observations. Pisces is pretty easy to spot, I have noticed they often have very watery eyes (often very rounded) and a pouty wet looking mouth.

Angelina Jolie has a lot of prominent water in her chart – especially scorpio. She has that look. Cancer likes to retain water or be in it – they often have soft curvy figures. Some Cancer’s are very angular and have the ‘Crescent Moon’ face, but it still looks like the Moon and the skin is often luminous and glowing – especially after dark.

Scorpio is sexy – even when they’re not classically good looking. They usually have that piercing ‘I can see through your clothes’ gaze that melts the pants off of their chosen conquest. Curly hair is common, and often dark. But, then with colored hair being as common as it is – drama is usually the favorite Scorp choice in color and style.

Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces usually have a softness about them and a woman with a water Moon needs to be very careful about what she wears. If she shows skin or wears a body hugging style, or nude toned clothing men will think she is naked. That’s great on stage or in a strip club – but often a young girl won’t understand the reaction she’s provoking. Perhaps this is why nuns (a very Piscean profession) are dressed from head to toe in black.

Every Aries I know (and I know tons of them) really tends to bash the hell out of their heads – especially the men. It’s not just a cliche – it’s almost predictable and pretty comical, as long as they aren’t drawing blood or giving themselves a concussion. They also like hats (or walk as if they are wearing one even if they aren’t) or wear their hair with a certain ‘crowning glory’ sort of pride (or they are upset if it is thinning).

The hair pride is something that is shared with Leo. All the fire signs: Leo, Sag and Aries can be pretty flamboyant in their dress and choice of (usually warm or hot) colors. There is also that prominent arched eyebrow attaching to the nose which creates that Aries ram symbol on the face, and they often have strong teeth. Sometimes perfect, but not always – just very strong looking.

Also with Sagittarius, I notice that they often have a very long torso with shorter legs – like the proverbial centaur that is their symbol. Sag can be very, very athletic, but ironically they are often very clumsy and knock things over a lot too. They have a physical stance that is sometimes a bit comical and off-center looking – or as if they are about to run for the nearest exit at any moment. Always with a twinkle of amusement in the eye though.

Leo likes to get attention. They like to look like rock stars and want you to stand in awe of them – so most of them really make an entrance. Even the shy ones will have some standout quality. Like the proverbial king of the jungle, the lion dresses like royalty: the bigger the gemstones, the better. Leo is not often shy about being loud, cracking a joke, holding court and generally having a solar system revolve around them.

Capricorn is the opposite of Sag; long legs, short torso, angular features, and a serious expression. A complete shift in the center of gravity from one sign to the next. Earth is stable looking usually – especially Taurus who tends to a sturdy muscular build (just like their opposite, Scorpio). Earth signs:Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn often like muted earthy colors as well.

Virgo rules tailoring, so you can often find them in interesting cuts of clothing and style. Virgo likes to cultivate a healthy, comfortable approachable style – like a favorite t-shirt (but with a really great cut and shape to it). Warm and clean is how they usually like to look. They can be fashion critics too. Taurus cultivates beauty and all the pampering, sensual delights (and tortures) that go along with it. Taurus is attracted to luxurious, opulent fabrics – cashmere, silk, velvet and they often have the most classically beautiful, symmetrical features of the Zodiac. Many have wavy hair and their heavy lidded bedroom eyes broadcast a lazy sensuality.

You will often see Capricorns displaying a favorite status symbol or accomplishment prominently for all to admire. They like to be linked to their achievements. Capricorns can sometimes be accused of never loosening their tie, you will rarely catch them looking rumpled or disheveled; impeccable is more like it. But we all envy them when they get older and look like they are growing younger every day. If they have lived well, they learn to lighten up later in life – which cuts down on the wrinkles.

Gemini’s often (but not always) have an androgenous look to them – pretty girlish boys and girls who look like young boys. Aquarius has a devilish twinkle in their eye, like Dennis the Menace dressed in his church clothes. They can also be so distracted that they literally look like the ‘mad scientist’ that somebody just dragged out of the basement. Or else they go for the alien raver look – neon tennis shoes and silver duct tape holding the clothes together. All the air signs have a tendency to play with gender roles in dress and demeanor. This runs the gamut from full blown cross-dressing to girls with spiky boy hairdo’s and boys with long flowing ‘Breck Girl’ locks. And air signs often like sparkly stuff – especially when they are young.

Libra’s are often dashing and charming dressers, the women love to accent their waist and Libra’s usually know how to flirt until you roll over and give them anything they want. They can also be eccentric and fond of costumes. I know a Libra man who is 6’8″ and about 240 lbs. I went to a party he threw and he put on a performance in his back yard twirling fire and wearing a tye-dyed dress. That was not a sight I will soon forget!


Mars Hoax – Pizza Still Bigger

Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter–but not as close as some people think.

July 7, 2005: There’s a rumor going around. You might have heard it at a 4th of July BBQ or family get-together. More likely you’ve read it on the Internet. It goes like this:

“The Red Planet is about to be spectacular.”

“Earth is catching up with Mars [for] the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history.”

“On August 27th … Mars will look as large as the full moon.”

And finally, “NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN.”

Right: “Close Encounters” by graphic artist Duane Hilton.

Those are snippets from a widely-circulated email. Only the first sentence is true. The Red Planet is about to be spectacular. The rest is a hoax.

Here are the facts: Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter this year on October 30th at 0319 Universal Time. Distance: 69 million kilometers. To the unaided eye, Mars will look like a bright red star, a pinprick of light, certainly not as wide as the full Moon.

Disappointed? Don’t be. If Mars did come close enough to rival the Moon, its gravity would alter Earth’s orbit and raise terrible tides.

Sixty-nine million km is good. At that distance, Mars shines brighter than anything else in the sky except the Sun, the Moon and Venus. The visual magnitude of Mars on Oct. 30, 2005, will be -2.3. Even inattentive sky watchers will notice it, rising at sundown and soaring overhead at midnight.

You might remember another encounter with Mars, about two years ago, on August 27, 2003. That was the closest in recorded history, by a whisker, and millions of people watched as the distance between Mars and Earth shrunk to 56 million km. This October’s encounter, at 69 million km, is similar. To casual observers, Mars will seem about as bright and beautiful in 2005 as it was in 2003.

Although closest approach is still months away, Mars is already conspicuous in the early morning. Before the sun comes up, it’s the brightest object in the eastern sky, really eye-catching. If you have a telescope, even a small one, point it at Mars. You can see the bright icy South Polar Cap and strange dark markings on the planet’s surface.

One day people will walk among those dark markings, exploring and prospecting, possibly mining ice from the polar caps to supply their settlements. It’s a key goal of NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration: to return to the Moon, to visit Mars and to go beyond.

Every day the view improves. Mars is coming–and that’s no hoax.

“NASA deformed my Horoscope” says Russian woman – sues for $300 Million

Here’s a story that just came off the AP wire:

————————————————————————-
“NASA deformed my Horoscope” says Russian woman – sues for $300 Million

NASA’s mission that sent a space probe smashing into a comet raised more
than cosmic dust – it also brought a lawsuit from a Russian astrologer.

Marina Bai has sued the U.S. space agency, claiming the Deep Impact probe
that punched a crater into the comet Tempel 1 late Sunday “ruins the
natural balance of forces in the universe,” the newspaper Izvestia reported
Tuesday. A Moscow court has postponed hearings on the case until late July,
the paper said.The probe’s comet crash sent up a cloud of debris that
scientists hope to examine to learn how the solar system was formed.

Bai is seeking damages totaling 8.7 billion rubles ($300 million) – the
approximate equivalent of the mission’s cost – for her “moral sufferings,”
Izvestia said, citing her lawyer Alexander Molokhov. She earlier told the
paper that the experiment would “deform her horoscope.”

NASA representatives in Russia could not immediately be reached for comment ©

Who says Astrology gets no real press?

If you ask me, this space probe will have just under zero effect on your Horoscope,
but cheers to Marina Bai for her making a splash.


Mercury Retrograde – A story of Woe!

Originally posted April 2, 2005
OK, I am an Astrologer, and as such I am prone to make statements like – ‘Oh, It’s only Mercury in Retrograde!’, but this one has been a comedy of errors. Here’s my most recent story, and I’m sticking to it! –

There is a glass shelf in our bathroom that sits into a metal tray, and was recently broken by a misplaced candle holder. It was an odd size and I wanted to have it replaced, so I took it out and put it in the car to show the glass guy at the glass shop where I figured I could easily have it replaced.

I also have a wall on which there are metal tracks for shelves. I have three thick glass shelves that are quite beautiful, but very dirty and covered in a rubbery cementy glue. I recently painted this room a lovely buttery yellow, and wanted to fix up the shelves. Sounds reasonable enough, right? Wrong.

It started innocently enough with a trip to Home Despot to get the metal shelf arms upon which to rest the three glass shelves. These shelves are 6 inches deep. I searched and searched and the closest I could come to that size was an 8 inch shelf arm. “Well, I’ll try it,” I thought and picked up 6. On the way home, I stopped at the glass shop, and showed the man my broken bathroom shelf, gave him the right length measurement and handed him the shelf itself, and which point I said something like, “It needs to be the same width as this one.” He went into the back and soon emerged with the gleaming replacement, which I tucked under my arm and pranced out with.

I got home, and cleaned off the three thick shelves until they gleamed. But when I went to install the brackets, I found that they were too thick and did not fit – damn! I then went to install the shelf in the bathroom, and though the shelf was the exact right length – 19 3/4 inches, it was about an 8th of an inch TOO WIDE, and also did not fit. Getting in and out of here is not easy matter, with our roads closed half the time for repairs from the recent flooding so I had to wait until the next day when I went to take the shelf and the brackets back, but the glass store was closed. So I went to a local harware store to look for more brackets. They had 6 inch ones, and they seemed a wee bit thinner (much like I wished myself to be) – so I picked up 6. I took them home, they fit like a dream. After I installed the three lovely shelves and artfully placed some photos, books and a few candles on them, I was pleased. I was proud, they looked great. BUT, they might look a little better if I added two more shelves.

The next day, I went back to the glass shop. I showed him my shelf, and explained my problem. I also ordered the two OTHER shelves for the bedroom. I explained the measurements – 6 inches deep, 18 inches long and 1/2 inch THICK. I pointed at a shelf in his office that was the correct thickness. He said the job would be done the next day, in the course of a 3 minute conversation, he called me ‘Kiddo’ at least 5 times. I am 37 years old. I shouldn’t complain, at least he wasn’t referring to me as the little old lady from Pasadena. I went back to the hardware store and picked up 4 more brackets – for the next two bedroom shelves.

The next day I returned and picked up three shelves. I promptly went to the bathroom to insert the shelf into it’s tray. It fit! Success! I went to place the two other shelves in thier homes, and discovered that they were TOO THIN! That’s right, not half inch glass as I had pointed out and specifically stated, but quarter inch glass which looked terrible and did not match my other three shelves. Steam started rising from my ears. “This is rediculous” I thought. And that was Friday. Now I have to wait until Monday to go back and have the glass guy put together TWO MORE shelves for me! I am anticipating that when I arrive on Monday, he will not be there, and his replacement will stare at me blinking uncomprehendingly at my plight. And all I wanted was A NICE SHELF UNIT for the bedroom!

And I haven’t even started on the story about how the cable company keeps telling me that the new Fiberoptic system is not available in my neighborhood – never mind that the neighbors on either side of me have just had it installed!

Happpy Mercury in Retrograde!
