ROB BREZSNY'S ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER: Uh-Oh for Virgo

Hmmm… What was I doing last fall?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): O ye of little faith: Do ye not understand that the events of mid-July through mid-August of 2009 are but the fruition of seeds ye planted in September, October, and November of last year? Do not thank or blame the gods, but only thyself, for the destiny that is upon ye. Now please prepare to assume thy new goodies and perks, O favored one, as well as thy new temptations and headaches, with full knowledge that ye are receiving the exact rewards and responsibilities ye earned many months ago.

ROB BREZSNY'S ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER: Virgo

Rob Brezsny's horoscopes, which are my favorite, astound me on a regular basis. This week's is no exception.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming weeks would be an excellent time to devote extra care and attention to your home-away-from-home -- you know, the place that's second-best at making you feel like you truly belong here on this earth. Enhance the ambiance in this alternate power spot, Virgo. Add beauty to the decor. Let the people who hang out there know how much they mean to you. And if you don't yet have such a sanctuary, then I suggest you hunt one down. You need to experience more of the pleasurable stimulation that comes from going back and forth between two different comfort zones.

Any other Virgos feeling this is spot on?

KARL LAGERFELD MAKES IT OFFICIAL: Bling is Out

"This whole crisis," Karl Lagerfeld explains philosophically to the New York Times, "is like a big spring cleaning."  

His phrase du jour for the new chic attitude? "New modesty." Bling is dead. This man is amazing.

FROM TROY WISE ART & PHOTOGRAPHY: Happy Holidays, Happier New Year

With holiday travel and time consuming projects coming up, it's unlikely there will be many updates for the next couple of weeks.

BUT I'll probably be back to posting in early January, as we've got some great stuff brewing (new collaborations with some talented artists, and possibly more photos with DJ Cat NYC & Automatic Panic!) and website renovations planned.

So, on that note: HAPPY HOLIDAYS, HAPPY NEW YEAR and

SEE YOU IN JANUARY '09!

ROB BREZSNY'S ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER: No Stilettos for Virgos?

So no wearing stiletto heels while walking across a tightrope on the way to my above-the-clouds pedestal? No problem. :)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It might be a good idea to temporarily avoid wearing stiletto heels, Virgo. The risk of slipping while wearing them is greater than usual. In a similar vein, I suggest you refrain from tightrope walking, putting yourself on a pedestal, or dreaming of climbing a ladder to the clouds. Two more suggestions: Don't look down on people whom you imagine are inferior to you and don't promise more than you can deliver. You catch my drift? Stay away from high and mighty forms of expression. Choose low, deep, and funky positions instead. Be as down-to- earth as you can possibly be.
