gap.gif

well astrology is getting just that little bit trendier every day… when THE GAP starts selling zodiac onesies you know astrology’s appeal is universal. $12.50; size runs only as far as 2T. BUMMER, i wanted to get one for my 4T niece. but then i found this website (probably the one that the GAP knocked off)…bib.gif5072701770804.jpg
tee.gifonesie.gifOBEY THE BABY where they offer onesies, bibs and tees in the coolest distressed motifs. AND, they have the decency to go all the way up to size 4T! ($9-$15)

OPRAH bought URANUS & AQUARIUS - SHE’S a zodiacal intoxicant!

oprah_3.jpgi’ve always had a soft spot for oprah. me and the rest of america, right? ever since oprah’s exposure of the beef industry, i’ve respected her for taking on the hugely powerful business of cattle, while also being a compassionate and successful businesswoman. GO GIRL. which is more than i can say for another successful businesswoman’s prosperous dalliance with the beef industry. yup, lots of good stuff you never knew about hillary out there…

glass1.jpglast summer, i attended the NYIGF, a trade show in new york city. i spied a mammoth-sized martini glass and had to make it mine. ALL MINE. nothing would stop me from aquiring this awesome piece of plastic. except OPRAH that is. i made an appointment to return to the exhibitor’s booth at the end of the show and pick up my huge martini glass… i was so exited!!! however, i arrived to be told that the OPRAH peeps had beat me to the punch and swiped it right out from under me. i was astonished… how could they possibly think they would benefit more from giving it to OPRAH, than to me. the nerve. life is so cruel… oprah, how could you? (i finally did get myself a mammoth martini glass. it took a few months of incessant nagging, but all worth it : )

images.jpegok, fast forward to now… i just found out that OPRAH has purchased - yes, paid for lock, stock and barrel - her astrological constellation and ruling planet (for an undisclosed 8 digit figure). hell, i didn’t even know they were up for sale! to repeat, OPRAH owns AQUARIUS and URANUS. the latter of which she likes to refer to as MYANUS®. whada sense of humour, that OPRAH.photoaquarius.jpg in january 2006, she unveiled her “birthday present to herself” in front of an all-aquarian audience that was later presented with AQUARIAN gemstone bracelets and horoscopes written by OPRAH’S personal astrologer, Steadfast. (who knew?) so between her love of large glassware, expensive planets and fruity tipples, OPRAH is a serious zodiacal intoxicant!


here are some of OPRAH’S favorite liquid things:

april BAROSCOPES

aries2.gifParties, meetings, dinners, happy hours, more meetings… there is some serious action filled activity in your future… and as an aries you’ll love every minute of it! But this month will be so frenetic, that even YOUR boundless energy might begin to wane. It’ll be hard, but refrain from getting sloshed. with everything else that’s going on, The last thing you’ll want to nurse is a hangover. Limit one.

taurus1.gifTaurus’ brand of laid back ambition is quite beneficial this month. Did you know that The bull is the zodiacal gardener? try planting a garden if you haven’t before–your naturally green thumbs will likely work magic! Why not start with mint for some summer mojitos? Like seeds that have been sown, patiently allow your dreams to grow slowly and surly on their own. Though you can’t see it, there are roots developing. And Like a plant breaking through the soil, you will clearly see when it is time to put your plan into motion.

gemini1.gifThis moth will require split second decisions, and offer sparkling opportunities. Including ones pertaining to your love life–always a favorite of the twins! In typical geminian style, You’ll probably want to jump right in. but don’t. stick your little toe in and feel the water first. If it feels good, then go for it. There’s nothing wrong with saying, “let me sleep on it.’ Mull over that proposition with a well-deserved night cap, and get back to them in the morning.

cancer.gifThis month offers the chance to make some real progress with whatever you have been toiling on. The stars are aligned for good decision making… so do it, and do it now! A boost of self confidence will make this much easier, so surround yourself with positive people, and positively good drinks. You are crab, hear you roar. Seize this month’s moment dear cancer, cocktail in hand, smile on face.

leo.gifThis month you have the chance to be the star pupil in the school of life. Don’t rely on anyone else to learn for you. Push your own envelope, and go through the motions yourself. You are a sponge, and an infinite amount of wisdom is yours for the taking if you will only put in the effort required. Do you know how to make a caipirinha? It’s this summer’s hottest drink… master that first, and move on to more serious lessons from there…

virgo.gifAn intense month is in store… and as a virgo you can handle the pressure better than most signs. You might feel like shouting at the top of your lungs in anger or elation, but try not to! Meet this month’s challenging energy with diplomacy and calm. Your reward will be an avoidance of unwanted friction, and why not a specialty cocktail too? Kumquats are just ending their season, so snatch up the last few and chill out with a kumquat kooler. Avoid losing your head during the day by loosening up with a drink at night.

libra.gifLove makes the world go round, especially now, with a planetary emphasis on your relationships this month. As a diplomatic libra, grace and tact serve you quite well. But right now, blunt candor will serve you better. Easier said than done for a sign as gracious and charming as yourself. Remember that A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts. Dear libra, drink up and start talking!

scorpio.gif Steady as she goes is this month’s MO. Not so simple, as scorpio is the sign of extremes. But now is a time where Moderation is truly key. To repeat, now is not the time to be downing cocktail shots, but one to be distilling the pomegranate gin for next month’s gourmet tipple. Be it alcohol, people, work or play… caution is hot, and Spontaneity is not.

sag.gifSmooth sailing ahead… sunny blue skies, warm pleasant breezes and sweet strawberry daiquiris are all in your future. As the hedonistic sign of Sagittarius, you don’t need to be told how to enjoy life. So dear hunting centaur, this month I implore you to do just that. Lay low with a stiff one and savor life’s riches.

cappie.gifThis month will be ushered in with the dizzying pace you seem to have grown accustomed. Never fear though, there is light at the end of the tunnel and this month promises to end on a calmer note. Contrary to your belief, Not every agenda needs to be coddled and steered. When it is time to resume that task it will be made very obvious to you. Be sure to celebrate the end of april with a golden tipple… you deserve it ms. workaholic.

aquarius.gifSo much to do, so little time with which to do it. This month’s hectic energy may have you running around like an unfortunate chicken (a headless one). Unless they go by the name of whiskey, vodka or gin, avoid getting involved in too many things. Better to solve one problem than to almost solve five. A busy bee like yourself best imbibe a bee’s knees cocktail ASAP. Bottoms up!

pisces.gifIt’s all about you and your money dear pisces. This month, don’t listen to that other fish trying to pull you down to the bottom of the ocean. Listen to your inner flying fish and leap out of the sea towards that rainbow with the pot of gold. Choose your investments wisely and you will certainly not regret them. Celebrate your future wealth with an extravagant libation.

Which Zodiac Cocktail should my sign be drinking?

nature-chart3.jpgLike ourselves, every plant has an astrological sign. The fruit or herb with which a cocktail is made determines that cocktail’s zodiac sign. Ultimately, a libation ends up having more than one sign, just like us. Our astrological chart contains many different signs, the most important of which is our sun sign and rising (ascending) sign. But we also have a moon (emotions) sign, venus (love) sign, saturn (career) sign, ect. Similarly, a mixed drink ends up having many different signs because of the variety of ingredients in contains. alcohol is ruled by mercury, simple syrup is ruled by venus, lime juice is ruled by saturn, bitters is ruled by mars, and so forth and so on. The accent flavor usually captures the essence of the drink and becomes the “sun” sign of a cocktail. So a kumquat margarita would belong to leo, as kumquats happen to be ruled by the sun.

It’s a challenge to simplify our complex taste with an equally complex cocktail. But as a general guideline, the ancient principles of herbal astrology, sympathy and antipathy, are used. Sympathy refers to a like-minded herb, such as the sun-drenched orange-colored kumquat, which is ruled by the sun and belongs to Leo. Leo people should be naturally drawn to the flavors of Leo plants. Antipathy refers to an opposite-minded herb. A cool cucumber belongs to Cancer and is ruled by the damp, chilly Moon. It is an opposite-natured and complimentary herb to the sunny kumquat. Imbibing a chilled cucumber martini could serve as a liquid air conditioner for a heated sign like Leo. Likewise for Cancer, who can warm their cold bones with a sunny citrus drink.

The concept of cocktail astrology is akin to having friends with different zodiac signs, or to choosing a life partner with a similar or opposite nature to that of your own. Live healthy, imbibe wisely, cheers!

baroscopes FOR august 2008 (by intoxicated zodiac™)

aries2.gifThink first, act second. This month, as with every thought that enters your mind, you’ll want to ponder it first, ad then pound it with your typical feisty response time. This hold especially true for drinks. Study that cocktail menu, and order a slow muddled libation. You’ll find the wait was worth it.

taurus1.gifThis might not be the easiest month on record, but it could be one of the most productive. You’ll be forced to face some intense feelings in regards to family or love. You’ll want to have some coconut cream, pineapple juice, rum, raw sugar, ice and a blender on hand. Pina coladas are therapeutic.

gemini1.gifYou always have a lot going on… but this month you will feel like you might have a little too much going on. Planetary forces are with you. Use them for good. Don’t forget to drink up real good too.

cancer.gifDon’t hide in your crab shell this month. All though you might be inclined to, along with your strongest bottle of alcohol. Instead, get out there and reap the bounty of celestial transits. The sun is shining this month, illuminating your path.

leo.gifBe brave Lion and let go of old habits. They actually don’t die that hard. Make way for the new and embrace the change that will ultimately better your life. Oh, and give some serious consideration to changing your drink. Shake it up this month and the world will be your oyster sooner than you think.

virgo.gif
You are operating at a level of heat most of us could not stand. But you are strong Virgo, and life’s refridgerated section is just around the corner. Keep your cool in these stressful times and imbibe as many lusciously chilled Mojitos as you can.

libra.gifBe sure to squeeze in a cocktail or two with family or friends this social month. You could also benefit from trying out a new look, dew, or pair of kicks. The world loves you libra for what you bring to it. Believe it, and show us the love.

scorpio.gif
Well no, this month won’t be one of the easiest on record. But it will be productive none the less. Be sure to hit some happy hours with the gang and maybe change up that old standard cocktail of your for a new signature drink. Repeat after me: change is good.

sag.gifDream big Centaur. You are certainly capable of that. This month begs you to take imagination and run it wild. Even though you might not end up opening the trendiest bar in New York city, the energy of that dream will manifest into equally cool.

cappie.gifYou want a drinking buddy right? Emphasis this month is on partnerships, both in money and love. Honesty is the best policy, so let it all hang out. It’s not easy for a tight-lipped goat to let this information go, so have drink and loosen those lips up.

aquarius.gifThink big picture Aquarius, and keep it real. Lots of distractions will do their best to sidetrack your attention this month. Focus on your goals and keep those emotions in check. An appletini a day keeps the shrink away.

pisces.gifThis month, your mouth is your friend. Use it wisely, and use it to slurp up several delicious libations. But be sure to also use it to win yourself worthy friends and appease stubborn coworkers. Cheers!

iraq currency depicts astrolabe

iraq-astro-money.jpg

kind of interesting… the iraq 1/2 dinar note contains an illustration of an astrolabe, an ancient instrument used to measure planetary movements for astrological purposes. i believe this note is still in circulation today.

mercury retrograde strikes again - oct 11 thru nov 1

officially, it starts today. but unofficially, it started yesturday. and according to susan miller, it started spooling up a week ago! remember, if you can help it, no contract signing, back up your computer asap, double check everything and bring something to do wherever you go. but wait, mercury retrograde IS good for something! it’s actually a great time to revisit the past… susan miller also says that more birth parents are found under this transit than any other. little story… i was in love with my neighbor some years ago… unfortunetly i could not have him, try as i might! actually, we moved into the same apartment building on the same weekend, and as it turns out we used to know each other as children. unbelievable… but true. yes, it was an agonizing scenario. but, one i’m quite used to at this point in my life… see, i have venus in capricorn. this aspect makes for a rather painful love life, to say the least. but that’s another tale for another post… long story short, i finally moved out of the apartment building we shared and moved on with my life. but six years later, here i was still thinking about this boy again. so i said, you know, i’m gonna call him! i waited 2 1/2 months patiently until the big day arrived… mercury retrograde. now neighbor boy had started working for the DEA as an undercover drug enforcement officer. his whereabout were rather top secret, as of course were the cases to which he was assigned. i was pretty sure i’d have to leave like twenty messages on tweny different machines before i’d any hope of actually speaking to him. i really didn’t expect to chat with him at all. but wouldn’t you know, the power of mercury retrograde… i called the DEA branch where he worked and told the operator i was just an old friend trying to get in touch with him. and voila, i was connected to his cell and talking to one of the great loves of my life, real time! i shocked the shit out of both of us. had a nice conversation… he’s married with a kid now… nice to get closure on that chapter of my life! i drudge up my sordid past only to convey the power of this under rated transit. coincidence you say? i personally am not a fan of those. so this mercury retrograde, finish up that project that’s been sitting on your desk for a year, call an old friend, organize your files, perfect those cocktail recipes one last time…. cheers : )
