This may beyour optimum year to develop, explore, enhance and – by all means – flaunt your individual style.
Just to be clear: I’m not talking about conforming to some trend or aesthetic that a stylist or expert identified for you. As the late and legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta once said: “Fashion is about dressing according to what’s fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.”
You make personal choices every time you decorate your home or get dressed. Here’s a look at the planets that will influence those choices, your style dream team for 2015:
Planets in Fire Signs: Until August when Jupiter moves on, there will be three major planets in each of the energizing Fire signs. Enthusiasm is their watchword and they are fired by a passionate and expansive approach to style:
While Jupiter is in Leo, the impulse is to expand possibilities and explore new avenues, to seek out that which will make us feel unique and appreciated. This combination is also about being creative and playful, even theatrical. Bring on the applause!
Uranus continues a long-term trek through Aries, the zodiac’s ultimate individualist. This will spark bursts of singular creativity and give more courage to express yourself as a unique person and make the most of what you’ve got—something stylish people have always known!
People with style understand their true needs and lifestyle. Like artists, they also have a point of view and want to make an important statement. With Saturn in philosophical Sagittarius, the buy local and responsible production movements are likely to be big issues.
Neptune in Pisces: Throughout 2015 this planet remains in its home sign, which ramps up the creative potential and makes it easier to access your inner artiste. Both Neptune and Pisces are associated with the arts, especially film and dance. Combined with Jupiter in Leo, old Hollywood glamour will continue to appeal, as will soft and diaphanous styles that remind us to go with the cosmic flow.
Uranus square Pluto: This may seem an odd choice. March 2015 will see the last of a stressful and transformative seven times these two powerhouse planets have aligned at 90-degree angles since 2011. Much has been written about the sociological and economic reformation that has occurred and will be ongoing for some time. I also think the Uranus square Pluto holds great creative potential if we’re willing to be absolutely and resolutely true to ourselves (Uranus in Aries) while making the most with limited resources and respecting the larger society (Pluto in Capricorn). Consider all the vibrant octogenarians born when these planets last made this aspect in the 1930s who are still working in creative fields: Debbie Reynolds, James Earl Jones, Bob Newhart, Christopher Plummer – the list goes on. As author, designer and socialite C.Z. Guest once said: “Style is about surviving, about having been through a lot and making it look easy.”
Wishing you all a fabulous, vibrant and stylish New Year!
