Star Struck Style

I had to stop myself from shopping online this morning. Typically, late June/early July is one of the best times to purchase high-end apparel and accessories at a deep discount. Of course, I’ve been stalking a few items I would like to own on the websites where I typically do my online buying. The reason I decided not to buy anything is because I might have more money to spend than usual over the next four weeks. Trying to decide on “something special” today was a challenge because I wanted to be sure that I ended up with the one thing that was going to make me the happiest.

Of course, that thing was a marvelous Missoni jacket with a regular price that most people would describe as obscene. I have a strange obsession with Missoni knitwear that I’ve discussed on this blog several times before. Right now, with Venus in my tenth house, I can’t stop thinking about the signals that I send out to others when I wear Missoni knitwear. Most plebes have no idea what it is, although they are quick to recognize an overpriced T-shirt with a decal that reads “BALMAIN” or “GIVENCHY.” But the people who recognize my Missoni items are the same people who recognize my Bottega Veneta Intrecciato wallet or my subtly-branded Bally footwear. Those are the individuals with whom I am communicating when I put myself together. We have our own language.

I suppose that I will be speaking in that language for a while. Venus is going to be transiting my tenth-house of covert snobbery for months and months because of its upcoming retrograde cycle. Mars is already there, and once it leaves that part of my chart, it is quickly replaced by both Mercury and the sun. For that reason, I’m going to resolve to wait until the first week of July to make a decision on that “something special” that I’ve already resolved to purchase. Maybe I’ll change my mind about that Missoni jacket. Maybe I’ll find something else that I want even more. Maybe I’ll have more money to spend than I thought I would. Who knows?

I do know that making a major purchase is far more favorable around July 7. Until then, I’m going to try my best to not buy anything else. Wish me luck!
