I noticed Guccis Love Parade Campaign this week, with its theme of a hedonistic dinner party, I thought, classic Taurus!! As it turns out most of the featured stars have prominent Taurus placements–well cast-especially for a luxury label.
△Miley Cyrus> Taurus asc
△Snoop Dogg> Taurus asc
△Jared Leto> Taurus asc
△Liu Wen > Taurus Moon
△Beanie Feldstein > Venus in Taurus

△The original Guccio Gucci had a beautiful placement of Venus conjunct Neptune in Taurus, with Pluto in Taurus as well. He certainly built to last!
△Personally, I’m forever sporting a creature comfort-loving, practical, arts and beauty appreciator/creator, open to hedonism and velvet-covered everything, long vegan lunches that merge into dinner time, Taurus rising! What area of your chart is lit up by the Sun’s light over Taurus season? Note what this luminary reveals on its annual sojourn.

That said, with a nose for quality Taurus does adore luxury as much as it appreciates rustic, bucolic, pastoral delights..dirt cheap. If there’s something Taurus likes, it’s a bargain!! Taurus likes growth- to accumulate if not hoard, not spend. So don’t think you’ll be emptying the coffers this season just because it’s ruled by Taurus. Eco, upcycling and slow practical arts are all themes we’ll continue to see as cottage core grounds in over the Uranus through Taurus era. So start kneading that sourdough and fermenting your homegrown organic cabbage; I hear it’s especially lovely with dill.

Book recs from Holley and Montgomery;

Wayward Lives & Beautiful Experiments, Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals by Saidiya Hartman

Sylvia Wynter: On Being Human as Praxis— “an academic collection of essays by others on Sylvia Wynter’s body of work, beginning with a powerful interview summarizing her work on historical Western definitions of the human across time (Man1 defined by religion; Man2 defined by Renaissance ‘humanism’), and the challenge to discover new modes of being human, which emerge from those who have been defined as “Other” in that discourse.

Black Utopias: Speculative Life and the Music of Other Worlds by Jayna Brown — “a beautiful book about how, situated in a world that has [at times] defined them as non-human, Black folks have engaged different ways of being human and “world-making”. Explores what it means to be utopian as an exploration of other times in the present. Studies a range of individuals from Sojourner Truth to Samuel Delaney (queer utopian writer) to Sun Ra! Really amazing book, inspiring.

People don’t have to like you, agree with you or share your opinion, and that’s ok. You can return the favour and still enjoy the tea, hit of tennis and the best this month has to offer.

You can be the ripest, juiciest peace in the world, and there’s still going to be someone who hates peaches.

~Classic Libra, Dita Von Teese

Since Venus is the ruler of Libra, let’s have a Venusian month. Have you noticed the various flavors of Venus and the Sun as they travel through signs?

I’ve been focused on forecasting through astrology with this monthly podcast episode I record with Tony, and two weekly bite-sized horoscopes I write for Glamour and News.com.au. I’ve also been sharing a weekly re-cap on my IG so I’ve been noticing how the weekly placements have been unfolding.

I’ve had my eye on the sky for years and paid special attention to the lunar cycle and signs as it passes through, however, my career has doubled down on forecasts so much I’m noticing even more. I’ve noticed that the clothes I buy are the flavor of whatever sign is hosting Venus. Leo season met with frustration as I couldn’t find the show stopper I visualized and decided I’ll have to hire a seamstress and design my own. It was the same last year. Looking for the grand statement in a middle-of-the-road marketplace is no easy task.

Virgo season resulted in a utilitarian dried grass green dress made of something ecological, and Libra season is a silky set from Australian brand Camilla called ‘high tea’ all delicate blue and white porcelain inspired with flowers, plates, and pretty sparkles. Now Venus is in Scorpio as it’s currently the evening star and running ahead of the sign the Sun occupies. This past weekend I hired an outfit for an 80’s birthday and was the only goth among a slew of Jennifer Beals-esque flash dancers, shell suits, and aerobicisers. I went as Beetlejuice, the titular character from Tim Burtons 1988 film. Wait for Scorpio season to see the results as I’ll use the pix as my cover image.

Next up Venus will be pulling out all the stops in Sagittarius so this is going to be interesting! Listen in to this months Cosmic Eye Forecast as Tony explains why!
