THE ZODIAC IS MADE UP OF TWELVE SIGNS, WHICH FALL INTO THE CATEGORY OF FOUR ELEMENTS: AIR, FIRE, EARTH, AND WATER. A PERSONAL BIRTH CHART MAPS THE RATIO OF ELEMENTS, WHICH EXIST FOR YOUR UNIQUE BIRTHDAY. THIS CHART ROAD MAPS POTENTIAL EXPLANATIONS FOR THE CHALLENGES PLACED ON YOUR PERSONALITY. EACH ELEMENTS EVOKES CERTAIN ENERGIES. CERTAIN MODES OF EXPRESSION WHICH MAKE UP YOUR PERSONAL, ASTROLOGICAL COMPOSITION. SOME ENERGIES WILL BE STRONGER IN YOU THAN OTHERS. SOME ELEMENTS WILL CEASE TO EXIST AT ALL. THE LACKING OF CERTAIN ELEMENTS WILL AFFECT YOUR LIFE AND LOVE RELATIONS.
NO WATER = NO EMPATHY, LESS COMPASSION
NO FIRE = LESS ENTHUSIASMS, LESS POSITIVITY
NO EARTH = LESS CONFIDENCE, LESS SECURITY
NO AIR = LESS PLAYFUL, LESS IDEAL AND CREATIVE
WHILE EVERYONE EXPRESSES THEIR PRESCRIBED ELEMENT DIFFERENTLY, THERE ARE ALSO PERSONALIZED VARIATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF STYLE.NO WATER = NO EMPATHY, LESS COMPASSION
NO FIRE = LESS ENTHUSIASMS, LESS POSITIVITY
NO EARTH = LESS CONFIDENCE, LESS SECURITY
NO AIR = LESS PLAYFUL, LESS IDEAL AND CREATIVE
FASHION IS A FORM OF SELF-EXPRESSION. IN MANY CASES, IT IS AN INDIVIDUALIZED, CREATIVE ART FORM, WHICH IS DEFINABLE THROUGH THE ASPECTS OF COMBINED AND PREDOMINATING ELEMENTS, WHICH COMPLETE AN INDIVIDUAL CHART.
CARRIE: AIR
SAMANTHA: FIRE
MIRANDA: EARTH
CHARLOTTE: WATER
PEOPLE BORN ON THE CUSP OF ANOTHER SIGN MIGHT EXPERIENCE A DUALITY OF STYLE, WHICH CAN BE REFLECTIVE OF THEIR SAVVY ABILITY TO SWITCH THINGS UP AND PLAY WITH MULTIPLE MEDIUMS AT THE SAME TIME.
SATC IS FAMOUS FOR SEVERAL REASONS, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THE BEAUTIFUL FASHION OF THE FOUR WOMEN. THE SHOW HYPERBOLIZES THE DISTINCT STYLES, WHICH ARE REPRESENTED THROUGH EACH OF THE 4 UNIQUE ELEMENTS. INDIVIDUAL STYLE IS CLEARLY MARKED IN THESE CASES AS THE 4 CONTRASTING ELEMENTS SERVE TO DISPLAY, 4 UNIQUE, DIFFERENT AND ENJOYABLE ELEMENTS OF STYLE.
THE MOTIF OF BRINGING BACK TRENDS FROM PAST DECADES CONTINUES TO THRIVE. FASHION IS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE IN THE HOPE THAT: ANYTHING GOES, AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH.
THE HIGH-WASTED, VINTAGE LEVI'S CUTS OFFS ARE A LOOK YOU CAN PULL OFF ALL YEAR ROUND, AND IN ANY SEASONS. COLD? WEAR TIGHTS UNDER YOUR SHORTS WITH OVER-THE-KNEE SOCKS ON TOP OF THOSE TIGHT. REALLY COLD? TRY FLEECE, FLANNEL OR SWEATER TIGHTS FOR EXTRA WARMTH. WHEN YOUR MOM ASKS, "WHY ARE YOU WEARING SHORTS IN WINTER." YOU MIGHT SAY: "BUT IT'S FASHION MOM."
THE ARM PARTY IS ANOTHER TREND THAT APPEARS TO BE GROWING BEYOND THE GYPSY AND INDIAN COUNTRY. PILES OF BANGLES ARE FINDING THEIR WAY ONTO THE ARMS OF SMALL TOWN, WRIST JINGLING FEMALES. THERE IS NO LIMIT: STACK IT HOW YOU LIKE.
GRAB A BUNCH OF RANDOM RINGS FROM YOUR STASH OF OLD, ACCUMULATED JEWELRY AND TRY STACKING THEM ONTO ONE FINGER. CREATE YOUR OWN PERSONALIZED STACK. RECYCLING IS THE THEME FOR FORWARD MOVING FASHION THINKERS: TAKE WHAT YOU USED TO HAVE AND INCORPORATE IT WITH SOMETHING NEW. PEPLUM IS MOMENTARILY, QUITE POPULAR.WHEN DONE PROPERLY PEPLUM CAN BE A FETCHING LOOK. STRAY AWAY FROM PEBLUM LEGGINGS. GOOD FASHION SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE MATERNITY WEAR, UNLESS YOU ARE IN NEED OF SOME FASHIONABLE MATERNITY WEAR.
TAKE YOUR FAVORITE TRENDS FROM THE 80'S AND 90'S: SHINY SPANDEX, NYLON, NEON, CHIFFON, BLOSSOM HATS, SUNFLOWERS, FLORAL PRINTED PANTS (WITH THE VEST TO MATCH) -- AND BRING THEM BACK. PRINTED PANTS, COLORED BOTTOMS, TWIGGY LEGGINGS OR MC HAMMER STYLE--EVERYTHING FLIES. ALONG WITH THE CONCEPT OF CLASH (PRINT WITH CLASHING PRINT) MATCH (DENIM ON DENIM/IDENTICAL PRINT ON IDENTICAL PRINT) AND ANDROGYNY.
FASHION HAS NO GENDER. THE EXPERIENTIAL BLOSSOM AND SIX LOOK IS HIGHLY APPROVED. WEAR THAT GIANT WOOLY SWEATER OR BAGGING DRESS SHIRT. PILE ON 1000 LAYERS SO NO ONE CAN FIND YOU. ROCK A SNAPBACK BETTER THAN A BOY COULD.
THE "MANREPLLER" LOOK IS HUGE. WOMAN ARE MAKING IT SEXY AND CREATING SUBVERSION BY MAKING A STATEMENT ABOUT CLOTHING PRESCRIPTION. GENDER IS NEUTRAL. EXPLORE ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR PRESENT AND PAST, WITH ASPECTS OF FASHION THAT APPEAL TO YOU PERSONALLY, AND NOT JUST WHAT WILL APPEAL TO PEOPLE YOU ARE HOPING OT ATTRACT:BUT PEOPLE LIKE: YOU
THE CONCEPT OF CREATING A STATEMENT THROUGH FASHION WAS CAPITALIZED IN THIS PAST YEAR WITH THE IDEA OF "STATEMENT NECKLACES." I PREFER TO CALL IT: "NECKLACE GAME" (# SEARCH #NECKLACEGAME VIA INSTRAGRAM) AS IN, "GIRL, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? YOUR NECKLACE GAME IS ON POINT." NECKLACES SPOKE STRONGLY THIS YEAR, AND OFTEN YES, MADE A STATEMENT. IT WOULD BE HARD NOT TO BUILD A FETISH CONSIDERING THE MASS PRODUCTION OF STYLES THAT WERE PRODUCED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR CONSUMPTION. THE RIGHT NECKLACE CAN COMPLETE AN OUTFIT OR IT CAN MAKE THE OUTFIT. DRESSING IN ONE SOLID COLOR AND PAIRING IT WITH THE RIGHT PIECE OF JEWELRY CAN SERVE TO TURN A LOT OF HEADS. PEOPLE ARE ALSO AWKWARDLY WEARING FANCY STATEMENT NECKLACES WITH COLLARDS SHIRTS. THIS CAN LOOK GOOD, BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT.
CROP TOPS, BANDEAU, FLORAL, LACE, CHIFFON, PLEATER, SPANDEX AND LEATHER -- IT'S ALL BACK, AND JUST IN TIME FOR FESTIVAL SEASON, SPRING AND SUMMER. YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE SPICE WHEREVER YOU LIKE. PERHAPS A LITTLE FLORAL HEADDRESS UPON YOUR LAVENDER-KISSED LOCKED. THE VARIATIONS OF SNAKE CHARMING BINDI JEWELS, HEADBANDS AND PORTRAYAL OF HAIR COLORS ALONE --EXEMPLIFY THE SUBVERSIVE DIRECTION OF FASHION. A DIRECTION WHICH IS ENCOURAGING YOU TO EMBRACE WHATEVER TASTES BEST SUITE YOUR PERSONAL DESIRES. OMBRE HAIR? LONG HAIR DON'T CARE? CRAZY BRAID? FISHTAIL? THE OPTIONS FOR LOCKS ARE INFINITE. YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR EMOTIONAL SITUATION, BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR HAIR. WHEN PEOPLE LACK CONTROL IN THEIR LIVES, THEY WILL SEEK IT THROUGH THEIR HAIR AS IT IS ONE THING THAT THEY CAN ALWAYS CHANGE/CONTROL. NOW, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "NEEDING TO GET YOUR ROOTS" DONE. YOU CAN LET YOUR ROOTS GROW OUT INTO THEIR OWN OMBRE SPECTRUM. EVEN IF YOUR ROOTS GROW IN GREY --THAT'S SHIT IS IN.
THIS BLOG WILL ATTEMPT TO HIGHLIGHT SIGNATURE TRAITS AND PORTRAITS OF FASHION, WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE ELEMENT EXPRESSIONS OF A PARTICULAR STAR SIGN : AIR SIGNS, FIRE SIGNS, EARTH SIGNS AND WATER SIGNS.
THE ELEMENTS OF (ASTROLOGICAL) LOVE AND FASHION) ARE UNIQUE FOR ALL, BUT A COMMONALITY EXISTS. A CERTAIN TRADITION IS ROOTED IN THE NATURE AND REPRESENTATION OF A GIVEN ASTROLOGICAL ELEMENT.
THE LACKING OF A CERTAIN ELEMENTS IN YOUR BIRTH CHART WILL AFFECT NOT ONLY YOUR FORTUNE, BUT ALSO HOW YOU HANDLE THE FORTUNE GIVEN TO YOU BOTH: PSYCHOLOGICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND EXTERNALLY.
IF YOU FIND THAT YOU DON'T FIT IN FULLY WITH YOUR ELEMENT PRESCRIPTION, REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A MIXTURE OF ELEMENTS, WHICH ATTRIBUTE TO YOUR UNIQUE, PERSONAL STYLE AND YOUR PERSONAL STAR MAP.
AIR
AIR SIGNS TEND TO SUCK UP THEIR PROBLEMS AND FEELINGS. THEY ARE BORN WITH AN ANTHOLOGY OF IDEAS. AIR IS IDEAL. NECESSARY BUT WILDLY CAPABLE OF ADAPTATION. AIR WILL EITHER MOVE ON, UP OR INTO SOMETHING ELSE: OR SOMEWHERE NEW. AIR CANNOT STAY STILL FOR TOO LONG. GOING UNDER IS NOT AN OPTION. AIR CAN RISE AND FALL, BUT NEVER FOR TOO LONG. AIR WARMS AND IT COOLS, WHICH IS WHY AIR CAN REPRESENT MANY DIFFERENT DYNAMICS OF FASHION AND AESTHETIC. AIR IS MOODY LIKE WATER, BUT IT WILL SUCK UP THE FELT EMOTIONS AND CARRY ON. AIR WILL CREATE CHANGE, TREND AND INNOVATION. AIR IS CONSTANT. THE ELEMENT OF NECESSITY. IT IS FREE, FLOWING AND FABULOUS. MALES BORN UNDER AIR CAN BE AS EQUALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT FASHION. AIR IS EVER-CHANGING, PLAYFUL AND PRONE TO DETAIL.THEY HAVE AN EYE FOR AESTHETIC THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T TOUCH BUT ONLY ENVY.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
Gems have duality in life and fashion, like love, the fashion experience will be passionate, exploratory, but stationary. The Gem will learn early on what suites them both romantically and materially.They can be in love with a lot of things at the same time.They have a need to express the multi-faceted nature of their interests and ambitions. They do this best with fellow diverse peoples. People who can admire their sense of creative control, make them laugh and challenge their already highly-retentive, intelligent and creative (yet withering) minds. Gemini does not like to feel confined. Nor do they like to feel too exposed: not too much skin. Maybe they will show some, but nothing too intense. They know to flirt well with their face and their fashion, which is why they do not need to revert to obvious tactics of attention seeking. Gems get noticed all on their own. Gemini needs to feel a sense of chance or a surge for opportunity-- they need to know that change is possible. Gems need to believe that there is something better waiting, something brighter or more beautiful (if possible for this sign) than what already exists. They want the highest held balloon and the best shades of color paired with the most breath-taking, one-of-a-kind design. They are excellent poker players. They have a perfect display of fashion that will look so good that it almost appears seamless or surreal. The patience among Gems often runs short. The fear of reaching love or success too quickly can kill their Airy spirit. Gem should ride with the temperatures time has shown them -- don't rush in. It's not so lonely when you lay your head down in a new place or perhaps a new bedroom. There will be a saving grace for the inquisitive Gemini. Gemini style is based on perfection, they see everything in bright, vivid detail Fashion will express their. self-interests and immaculate personal tastes. There is a flawless effort towards looking good here -- like they just rolled out of bed appearing attractive. Gems can't help but sparkle, but keep heed if they shall fade because they may not say it, but they might expect their love to help dust them off in times of trouble. So they can try again. If Gemini gets too lonely they will grow bitchy and stop going out, which is a sin for this sign. Keep with the climate and the fun times and the Gem will be fine.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
There is something about the independent Aquarius style that makes you stop in your tracks to admire it, share it, and try to copy it. You can't really peg that anyone under this sign dresses the same. Either they individually know what they like and just can't seem to stray away from it. Or they can literally transform into a variety of good looks. This metamorphosis can be achieved by pulling off a pair of sparkling, studded disco pants. Or using intelligence and creativity to recycle fashion by setting new ideas and trends regarding fabric and accessory. By highlighting one's ability to use it, layer it and finish it with final touches. CEO and Fashion Blogger (www.theanthology.ca)
Kelsey Dundon writer of The Anthology (a fabulous, fashion-inspired blog) is Aquarius born. She has the smarts and ability to transform old clothing into desirable works of fashion. She has the ability to create beauty through her own genius vision. This can come in the form of designing, lovable and eccentric looks for a colorful bridal party or by cropping a long skirt into something short and sassy. AQ is known on the Zodiac pole as the 'one of a kind' genius', which is why a lot of thought goes into both love and fashion. They won't have to think about you to know that they love you -- they will just know, almost instantly. It will scare them, yes, but they will know surely. AQ like Gemini will not be satisfied with just one aspect of either love, life or attire. They will explore anything that intrigues them and will usually find their calling through these desired experiences.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)
FIRE
FIRE IS IN YOUR FACE, FULL OF FLAVOR, FULL OF GRACE. HARD TO BE MISSED. WILD AND ADVENTUROUS. RISK TAKING. TREND SETTING. A LEADER OF ITS OWN KIND. FIRE LOVES TO BE IN LOVE. FIRE LOVES: IF YOU LOVE THEM. DON'T TRY THE OPPOSITE. FIRE IS CONSTANT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CARED FOR. A FIRE BORN CHILD OFTEN HAS MANY FLAMES, MANY, MANY FIRES BEFORE FINDING THE RIGHT ONE. IF THEY CAN'T STAY WARM WITH YOU, OR CAMP OUT FOR LONG, THEY WILL MOVE ONTO SOMEONE ELSE. FRE NEEDS TO BE ENGAGED WITH IN ORDER TO BURN. FIRE HATES TO BE COLD. FIRE WILL COOL OFF, BUT NEVER FOR TOO LONG. FIRE WILL PREVAIL. FIRE WILL ONLY BE COOL TO WHAT DOES NOT EMBRACE THEM WITH PASSION. FIRE WILL BE HARD NOT TO EMBRACE, NOTICE, OR ADMIRE. FIRE IS FIERCE, OFTEN LOUD AND UNTOUCHABLE. FIRE NEEDS A FELLOW FLAME THAT WILL VALIDATE THEIR FASHIONABLE QUALITIES AND ONE OF KIND LIFE GREATNESS.
FIRE LOVES AIR
FIRE NEEDS WATER
FIRE CHALLENGES EARTH
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
As the sign of adventure, success and risk-taking, The Ram is often unafraid to try what they like, they'll do it at: at least once. Just to say they did and just to know that they tried. Goals. Aries will set goals about love, fashion and all of their many life passions. There a natural aspiration towards people who can make them laugh, know how to joke around, but also know what is meant to be taken seriously. Love for the Aries, never came easy so if it comes to stay, Aries can't be inspired to question it. Even if they will question it, naturally. Costumes here are greatly welcomed. The mighty and radiantly beautiful, Grace Carter perfectly exemplifies the essence of Aries fashion. A fashion which is trendy, comfortable, but also fun. A type of fashion that works well with what they have and considers the economic value of clothing. Aries will find a way to look good even if it did not cost a while lot. It might even be free swag. Regardless, Aries has the charm and success to make these things happen. Their style will evolve over time just as their personal life goals will evolve over time, as they become even more achieved, more focused. Aries will start to splurge on clothes, things , people and investment that they really like. The moment that they feel financially stable is the moment that they might start to take a gamble. Fire signs are all about the gamble, taking that risk, but under this element, the sign of Aries is probably the most rational, and the most intelligent about the odds and the risk.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarius may not realize it, but they are very much their own person in love, life and fashion. They tend to pull off looks that other people might find tacky. Like Amber from Clueless, they find a way to make tacky work. Even if you want to pass judgment, the Sag does have a style that is symbolically theirs. A Sag born closer to Scorpio may not attest to this type of colorful, in-you-face dressing because they don't want to stand out. They might be attracted ore to the sexy, goth look, but a true Sag is not afraid to make a statement with fashion. Even if you insult the look of a Sag, if they are true-blooded and Fiery, there is no way your opinion will influence the Sag to change. Fashion is a way for the Sag to express what they can't communicate. They are stubborn about style. Out of all of the fire signs, the Sagittarius is pent up the most. They don't let anyone in on their private things or perverse thoughts. Frankly because some of these thoughts are so competitive and unfriendly that there is no point in sharing them. Sag comes first, you can come second. Like their opposite sign Gemini, Sag also knows how to play the game. They won't invest too many long term goals in lovers or things that cross their path during their younger days. The Sag knows that life is a never-ending adventure full of opportunities. The Sagittarius is not afraid to claim some of these opportunities. Sometimes they will go for it just to get it, and once they do, they will not want it anymore. Frugal by nature, the Sag will try to save every penny, but like a fool will shop even if they don't need to. This can occur simply because there was a SALE. This word speaks volumes to the Sagittarius. SALE season is when the closest starts to get a bit manic or when the Sag is shopping to increase a mood or elevate a problem. Sag is a lot more open in fashion than they are in life. You will really have to impress the Sag by breaking down their set boundaries, and hidden anxieties in the hopes of getting a sense of their heart.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)
Sing it loud/Sing it proud: if you don't the Leo might have to remind you of when you are suppose to chime in. Caroline Carter is wearing her star sign symbol with true Leo pride. The addition of the red lip stick (which appears black in the photo-- yet another dominating and precariously attractive 2012-2013 trend), the hip framed glasses and the casual up-do bring the simplicity of her graphic tee to life. This is what Leo does, they make things their own. What's brighter, Caroline or the shirt? Undoubtedly it is the Leo lady. Sure, the graphic of the lion is adorable. Everybody just dies for a great animal-faced graphic tee, but no material will ever mask the naked, bear greatness of the Lion/Lioness. You might also have a graphic tee with a symbolically significant animal on it, but the Leo probably wore it better. No need to feel inferior, they simply withhold a natural aptitude for making things seem and look better than they actually are. This is a beautiful quality in fashion, but not always the best song to listen to in love. This means that Leo will go head first into love territories that they should tip toe around. They can't help it. Leo lady, .J Lo coincidentally rings true of this notion, but she didn't get 1000 pics in her low cut boobie green, Grammy dress for nothing. Other people might have tried to re-work it after the fact, but nobody cared. They weren't a Leo. Leo is not afraid to shine or demand attention. So embrace it. Don't question or envy it. An important tool to loving a Lion: make sure their ego is satisfied You have to ensure that you are living up to their ideal expectations and not just their love expectations. Being in love is one thing -- making it working is another. If these realities go ignored, Leo might end up chasing after you, but only in the hopes of achieving their suppressed love ideal. Leo will also express their mood or motive through fashion. When they feel neglected, they will pull a hot outfit together. They will do something sassy with their mane and they will make their beauty public -- just to re-start the Feline fire--they will have a showcase, which will require validation. Leo may still noticed when they are feeling down because even when they are down, the Leo still flourishes. It's all apart of their trickery: make others think you have no weaknesses, kill them with kindness (never let any one know the truth) and take all the money.
EARTH
GROUNDED. BASIC. SOMETIMES BORING. SOMETIMES PREDICABLE PRONE TO NEUTRAL TONES. NOTHING TOO BUSY. NOTHING TOO 'IN YO FACE'. HOMELY, DOMESTIC. WITHHOLDS GREAT PATERNAL POTENTIAL. EARTH IS EXCELLENT AT BEING IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP. EARTH LIKES WHAT IT CAN TRUST AND DEPEND ON. EARTH IS A COMFORT-SEEKING, CREATURE OF HABIT WHO THRIVES ON JUDGMENT AND DIPLOMACY. EARTH OPERATES ON INDICATING STRUCTURE AND PROVIDING STABILITY, RATIONALITY AND NECESSITY. EARTH IS OFTEN CLAM, BUT HAS THE ABILITY TO SHATTER, WILTED, WITHDRAW OR BREAK. ALWAYS, EARTH SEEMS TO REMAIN. FASHION IS PRECISE, SIMPLISTIC, OFTEN CLASSY AND POWERFUL. EARTH IS GENERALLY VERY RESPECTED, THOUGH SOMETIMES CATTY, EARTH IS USUALLY QUITE OPEN TO GIVE AND CARE FOR OTHERS. EARTH WILL ENDURE THE WRATH OF EVERY OTHER ELEMENT, NOT JUST BECAUSE IT HAS TO, BUT BECAUSE IT FEELS OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE BOARDERS AND GUIDELINES.

TAURUS (MAY 20-APRIL20)
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22- JANUARY 19)
If Taurus likes high-end, consider Capricorn the highest Earth-end possible. Capricorn fashion and love are primarily at the top or quickly surpassing through the glass ceiling. All Earth signs value good quality and a label they can trust (like the really expensive and well known ones.) Every variation of a Capricorn can differ, but stereotypically the Capricorn is all about the cream of the crop. They can be smart about this ambition, in that they might not show it off too much to others, but there is certainly a questioning part of this sharp dressed creature which will want you to know how great they are, how hard they work and how much they deserve love. You'll know that you have the heart of a well-tailored Capricorn if they care enough about you to challenge you and your personal potential. Capricorn will keep it together for you if you can play on their team, and to the Capricorn, looking the part is a component of whether or not you play well. Generally, the attire of a Capricorn is very well pressed, detailed to perfections and put together immaculately. People compliment the Capricorn when they execute these skills properly. Capricorn plans fashion and they plan it well. Treating their desires like side-passions or business pursuits inspires the natural ability of the Capricorn to run shit, be the boss and make things happen. If they can have the best (meaning that they have enough money to get what they are after) then the Capricorn will get it. Regardless of their income or saving aspirations, Caps generally make the best of what they have. As they age, they strive towards that chic, classic but fashionable look.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)
We have covered that Earth signs prefer quality over quantity. That they do not invest their heart, time or money in people or places that they don't perceive as good investments. Naturally this means that Virgo too values quality, but they will get lost in their worries, doubts and juxtaposing thoughts. It's reasons like this that Virgo will have the same shirt in three colors. It is is hard for them to stray away from what they love or from what works. Whether this be a routine or a song that they annoyingly insist on playing over and over again. There is an Astrology joke about Virgos and their love for black. It is true. Virgo loves black, but they know what to do with it and can give black a sense of style and voice. Virgo knows how to put colors together, but they don't like to be too busy if they can help. They like to be clean and fresh looking. They know that if they put the efforts in that they will pay off. Virgos born closer to Libra will explore with print, color and the variety of texture, but a true blooded Virgo won't stray too far from a neutral pallet. Virgo knows how to layer garments properly. They are prone to Earth tones, colors and shades: black, grey, white, forest green and navy are preferred here (sometimes red), but when the Virgo does wear color -- they are noticed for their ability to pull it off perfectly. If Virgo is into a print, it is for a reason. They are so self-conscious and creatures of habit that they know what will works for them. Love is associated with these fashion patterns. The Virgo is really coy about how they feel emotionally. They express love well in private through affectionate gestures and love-making, but they are not the best at complimenting others. When they do it, it will be sincere, but Virgo isn't much of a faker. This is likely because Virgo is so self-critical that they have a hard time pumping you up. Just as they have a hard time accepting your compliments towards them. Compliments that in their mind, probably come too often.
WATER
EMOTIONAL. MOODY. IMPRESSIONABLE. WATER IS THE ELEMENT OF EMOTION. EVERYONE NEEDS WATER. WATER LISTENS. WATERS ADVISES. WATER BRINGS YOU HOME. IT REVITALIZES AND REJUVENATES YOU. WATER PROVIDES EMPATHY FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE IT OR HAVE IT. WITHOUT WATER IN YOUR CHART, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERCEIVE THE INTENTIONS OF OTHERS. WATER IS FLUID, EVER-CHANGING, SOMETIMES INTENSE, AND OVERBEARING. WATER IS PERCEPTIVE. IT BOILS, FREEZES, AND CHILLS. WATER RISES, FALLS AND FLOODS. WATER HAS THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM LIKE FROM WATER INTO ICE. THE ABILITY OF WATER TO TAKE ON NEW MANIFESTATIONS AND ADAPT TO NEW PEOPLE AND PLACES, MAKES THEM INTUITIVE AND CHAMELEON-LIKE. WATER CAN BE SALTY OR SOUR, BUT MAINLY WATER IS SWEET. YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. IT CAN HARD TO FIND, BUT ONCE WATER LETS YOU IN, IT WILL PROVIDE A WELCOMING POOL OF LOVE, EMPATHY AND STIMULATING BLISS. WATER LOVE REASSURANCES AND KEEPS ROMANCE EXCITING WITH DESIRABLE DRESSING AND GOOD TASTE.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19- MARCH 20)

| Add caption |
Probably the most innovative sign with fashion and with love. For once, being last in the zodiac pays off. Given the symbolic context that The Fish encompasses all of the other 11 signs that came before them -- it would only be fair to say that they have learned some things and re-worked some things, and in the process, probably made some things better (perhaps other things--worse). Either Pisces will find their own foothold in fashion or they will spend a life time trying to imitate their vision and fashion inspirations. As you can probably see in the above image of these two striking Fish vixens: Rhiannon and Jen Kenny (who is coincidentally born today: HBD CUSP QEEN), even if two Fishes take a similar paths of BOY London taste, they will still express these tastes in individualized and personalized ways. The Fish is not afraid to pair something sexy with something masculine. By throwing on a baseball cap, but wearing knee high socks or garter belt tight. The Fish knows how to pull off different looks, many of which you can only dream that you thought of yourself. Pisces can get away with murder. They understand that style is very much a sense of how fashion reflects your personal perception and whether or not a person know what "works" for them and their body type. Pisces will have fashion fetishes. Pants aren't always in every ones favor, and it is not just babes, a lot of bros would rather wear shorts all year long. Love doesn't always come easy for the younger Fish, and when they get down, or need a pick me up, The Fish will express their need for love through fashion. They will costume their emotions through beauty. With a simple, here's some-hot-sex-spun in a fashionable way style, Pisces knows that their coat of armour (literally) can be their meal ticket into (anywhere) any one's heart. Rhi Rhi might be a socially ruined woman for going back to a place she never truly left (Brown-Town), but it's a mistake she has to make for herself. In knowing that there is more to love than 1) good sex or 2) being good-looking or 3)being wanted.The Fish will win this year if they dress to impress: Me, Myself and I, and check out of relationship Rehab. The Pisces will find that the more they tread into their own stride and embrace their own way of doing things -- the more they will fall happily into that ever after. If the Fish continues to challenge the past or swim directly into red flags -- they will be held back from their black-picket fence, happily ever after dream.
SCORPIO (October 22 - November 22)
There is something sexy and mysterious about the Scorpio style. You might feel like they reveal nothing to you, but if you look closely, you will see that they often self-expose --just enough to make you want to know more, ask questions or try to hang out with them. Look for these subtle hints in their fashioning. Be careful if you attempt this too aggressively. Scorpio will decide who gets to know them, when and how. Even then, when they slow-motion pace let you in, you probably do not know the whole of it. Scorpio values having secrets that only they know about -- it's not even really a secret unless you keep it to yourself, right? Scorpio could be prone to secret tattoos (or very obvious ones), alternative style and textured materials that look and feel sexy. Scorpio's style will vary. When they want to be left alone, they will revert into a shell of comfortable self-seclusion: a dependable style that they feel safe in. At this time, Scorpio won't be "trying hard", they'll still look good, but they will probably be hoping that you don't notice them. This signature style could be a traditional button-up, perhaps some solid plaid, jean shorts, a favorite graphic t-shirt or a goth inspired all black getup. When the Scorpio wants to be noticed, they will pull out all the stops, they will reemerge from their cocoon into their sexy,and powerfully mysteriously selves.The arrival of this transformation, however, has to be on their clock and by their mode, your will does no good. Unless Scorpio loves you enough, to tell you all about it...and wow, ask you for help?
SCORPIO (October 22 - November 22)
CANCER (JUNE 23 - JULY 21)
Cancer is a highly creative sign with a witty and perceptive mind. They can visualize an outfit from head-to-toe. Cancer is aware that perfection in style will require a good full work up: from her head down to her toes. When Cancer is fashion-forward they will often set the standard for untouchable, personal and signature styles. Much like Cancer Star and comedian Jessi Cruickshank who gingerly has been trend-setting, impeccable, one-of-a-kind style since grade school. As Jessi illustrates, successful Cancer style is hard to imitate. This is because a great deal of their success in fashion is achieved through personality and craftsmanship Cancer has the ability to shine through the very shell of their clothing. To be fair, they also have the ability of becoming that Emo kid who doesn't wash their hair when they are sad. That being said, a consistently fashionable Cancer will be able to "mother" their own love with ease. This legacy will be achieved in true Maternal, (Cancer) fashion. Don't be surprised if your Cancer lover helps you refine your look. It's not out of criticism. Even if Cancer is great with the chirps and comedic punch lines, it's really about 1) the fact that they genuinely care about you and 2) they don't want to be seen with you unless you look as sharp as they do. Go with it, the Cancer means well. Abiding by their laws of fashion will make for a less fickle, less emotional Crab-mate. As the master of the thrifty find and the crafty creation-- this is the sign that can create a look that appears really expensive, but in reality is quite affordable Cancer's natural craft master skills come in handy when accessorizing an outfit. They know how to keep love filled with pretty eye candy trinkets. You'll never have to be bored when dating a fashionable Cancer. You will always have something glamourous to look at.
