ARCHIVE FOR November, 2008

ONE MINUTE
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Take one minute today and stop searching online for the best price on a new pair of boots. Take one minute and stop wondering how you’re going to work off all the extra calories you’ll be consuming tomorrow. Take one minute and watch this video. It comes to us from Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes, the hipster friendly line of slip-ons that is actually more about doing good than looking good (though it doesn’t hurt that they do). Now TOMS is trying to meet their most ambitious goal yet: to give 30,000 shoes in 30 days this holiday season.  And it’s so easy to help – buy a pair of shoes and they’ll donate a pair to a child in need. Learn more and take one more minute to spread the word…

Whitney can't live without her DVF trench!

In anticipation of her new show, The City (disclosure: she works at DVF!), Whitney Port just launched a  website. She talks about her clothing line, Whitney Eve, posts personal photos of her friends, and also reveals the things in her closet she can’t live without, including DVF’s Hitchcock leather trench coat from Fall’s Foreign Affair collection. The coat is mostly sold out (there are just 3 left at our Las Vegas store for 60% off), but we’ve got plenty of other leather and trench-like options to suit your style.

STARS WEEK NOVEMBER 23
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

ARIES

March 20 — April 1

You’ve trying to overcome your restlessness. This week’s events won’t just allow you to break away from tedious situations, they’ll enable you to overcome seemingly insurmountable restrictions. If there’s any difficulty, it’s that with circumstances changing from one minute to the next, planning is impossible. While this won’t bother you, it could require some serious handholding until others recognise just how worthwhile changes are.

TAURUS

April 19 — May 19

Far-reaching changes in elements of your life are already on your mind. So unexpected opportunities and arrangements that suddenly fall apart actually help clarify where you want to focus your efforts – and where you don’t. Still, keep things loose until early December, when your ruler Venus’s encounter with the bountiful Jupiter brings past efforts to fruition just as unexpected but thrilling developments come your way.

GEMINI

May 20 — June 19

It may not be for weeks yet that you – or others – fully comprehend the freedom that Pluto’s departure from the relationship angle of your chart, on Thursday, gives you. But it’s clear you’re not alone in experiencing sweeping changes. This is where things get tricky, because what seems least welcome could ultimately prove most worthwhile. Knowing that, explore everything keep any pivotal decisions for later.

CANCER

June 20 — July 21

Opportunities are glorious but will require a substantial reorganisation of elements of your lifestyle. Add Pluto’s move, on Thursday, to reshape the relationship of your life, changes there are inevitable as well. Chaotic as the process might be, the intensity is necessary if you’re to escape patterns so deeply ingrained that you may not even realise changes can be made. You’ll soon realise they can.

LEO

July 22 — August 21

The current intense planetary concentration on who and what brings you greatest joy in life is raising many questions about circumstances you’ve regarded as unchanging. Plus, you’re facing of stunning developments involving your financial or working life. Urgent as decisions seem, you needn’t worry, since with the planet of transformation, Pluto, moving into a new sign on Thursday, events will do it for you.

VIRGO

August 22 — September 21

Recent events have prepared you to accept offers once you’d have rejected, mostly because they’d cause chaos. This is good timing, because with both the New Moon and Pluto changing signs on Thursday, and accenting the structure of your life, things simply can’t stay the same. Plunge into the unfamiliar with uncharacteristic enthusiasm, and you’ll soon wonder why you even questioned those changes.

LIBRA

September 22 — October 22

In some situations your past efforts come good, while others involve unexpected developments, both welcome and less so. But fully understanding their impact and direction will take time. Your instincts correctly tell you that yet more changes, in the form of those triggered by Pluto’s move into a new sign on Thursday, will require rethinking everything. Convincing others of that is your biggest challenge.


SCORPIO

October 23 — November 20

Entirely comprehending the shift in both circumstances and your perspective, triggered by Thursday’s move by your ruler Pluto into a new sign – something it does exceedingly rarely – will take ages. Consequently, you’re better off focusing on the amazing and often unexpected developments that appear from several quarters. Ironically, what you learn in dealing with these could prove just illuminating when it comes to your future.

SAGITTARIUS

November 21 — December 20

While this is the most pivotal week of your year, with both the Sagittarius New Moon and Pluto’s departure from your sign – after sixteen years there – the far reaching impact of these events won’t be clear right away. So instead focus on the exciting results from past efforts and new offers. Ensure plans are flexible, then you can rearrange things as life-changing developments unfold.

CAPRICORN

December 21 – January 19

Mostly, this week’s offers or changes are welcome, and so are easy to deal with. It’s those triggered by the arrival of Pluto, which signifies the transformation that comes through facing facts – especially uncomfortable ones – in Capricorn on Thursday that are perplexing. The sooner you adopt an inquisitive approach to seemingly challenging situations, the more swiftly you’ll discover the benefits of this remarkable cycle.

AQUARIUS

January 20 — February 18

Remarkable developments are sweeping through your life. However, you’ve little say in their direction. Consequently, this means you must trust others. Actually, in doing this you open your world to activities and options that, quite simply, you wouldn’t otherwise have considered. Knowing that, keep arrangements flexible and regard everything you do as illuminating, and you find you’re actually enjoying those unexpected twists.

PISCES

February 19 — March 19

Pluto has been dominating the midheaven angle of your chart for so long that you’ve simply accepted certain burdens or restrictions as part of life. On Thursday Pluto moves into a new sign, and while some changes may take ages, others could be as dazzling as they are sudden. Your only challenge, therefore, is believing in miracles, since that’s exactly what these could be.
