The Sun will spend its last week in Aries, spurring our creative juices and energizing our every move. With a Scorpio Moon overhead on Monday and Tuesday, we'll be intent on getting major projects completed and clearing a path for the future. The energy lightens up on Tuesday and Wednesday as a midweek Sagittarius Moon turns our attention to having more fun and going with the flow, expanding our adaptability and flexibility when changes to our plans crop up. The remainder of the week will be our most productive, as the Moon travels through Capricorn and sets a grounding and practical tone to our movements. The highlight of the week will be the Sun's entry into Taurus on Saturday, heralding a four-week period of taking our dreams into reality, revising our financial and health levels, and reminding us to embrace the important relationships in our lives.

The Art of Glamstrology: 3 Powerful Ways to Use Astrological Glamour Magic, by Michael Herkes

(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)

Glamour magic is a potent, transformative practice that merges the art of self-expression with manifestation. This practice is anchored in radiating your inner beauty and aligning your outer appearance with your deepest intentions and desires. Through the thoughtful use of color, fabrics, fragrances, crystals, metals, and cosmetics with objective, glamour magic allows you to project the energy you wish to embody—whether it's confidence, allure, power, to be seen, or even to fly under the radar.

At the same time, astrology has long been a guiding force in understanding our personalities, relationships, and life paths. But what if you could take it one step further and use the cosmic energies to not only understand yourself better but also use it as a means to enhance your personal style, attract the right opportunities, and navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence? After all, each zodiac sign has its own unique energy, colors, textures, and aesthetic preferences that can influence how you express your glamour.

Enter glamstrology—the art of combining astrology with glamour magic to create a style that is uniquely you, while also harnessing the power of the stars to project the energy you need at any given moment. Here are three transformative ways to use glamstrology in your life.

1. Creating a Unique Look Based on Your Astrological Chart
Your astrological chart is like a cosmic blueprint that reveals your personality, desires, potential, and more. However, many have gotten used to solely focusing on their Sun sign as a means of explaining their astrological makeup. Each planet governs certain aspects of our lives, and the sign they are in and their positioning in the cosmos can greatly enhance or even change your preferences and actions in life. Similar to the famous quote by Aristotle, "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts," individual meanings are less meaningful than looking at combined components. Because of this, I began to combine the energies of the Sun, Venus, and Neptune signs, along with the influences of the 1st house (ascendant), 2nd house, and 10th house (midheaven), to create a look that is not only stylish but also deeply aligned astrological glamour magic. To determine what sign each of the placements is in, visit a reputable astrological generating site such as Astro.com and plug in your birthdate, birthtime, and birth location. Once you have this information, you can further break down each of these key placements to better understand your glamstrology.

Sun Sign: Your Core Personality: Your Sun sign represents your core personality—the essence of who you are. It's the energy you radiate and the qualities you naturally embody. When crafting your unique style, consider the characteristics of your Sun sign to determine the types of clothes you wear and how you favor color, prints, and patterns.

Venus Sign: Your Sense of Beauty and Attraction: Your Venus sign governs your sense of beauty, love, and attraction. It reveals what you find aesthetically pleasing and how you express love and affection. Incorporating the energy of your Venus sign into your style will help you enhance your natural allure and create a look that feels both beautiful and authentic. It details your overall beauty style, including cosmetic and hairstyle choices. It also highlights your appreciation for materials like fabrics, jewelry, and fragrances.

Neptune Sign: Your Imagination and Dream World: Neptune governs your imagination, dreams, and illusions. It's the planet that allows you to tap into your creativity and intuition, making it a powerful influence on your style. Incorporating your Neptune sign into your look will help you express your artistic side and create a sense of mystery and allure.

1st House (Ascendant): Your Aesthetic Brand: The 1st house governs your appearance, self-expression, and the way you present yourself to the world. It's the first impression you make and the energy you project—essentially representing your personal brand. Incorporating the energy of your 1st house into your style will help you create a look that feels authentic to how you want to be seen based on how you see yourself, ultimately influencing the types of clothing and accessories you wear.

2nd House: Your Resources and Shopping Sense: The 2nd house governs your resources, values, and material possessions. It's the house of wealth and abundance, and it reveals what you value most in life. Incorporating the energy of your 2nd house into your style will help you create a look that reflects your values and makes you feel abundant and ultimately determine how you shop.

10th House (Midheaven): Your Public Persona and Natural Glamour: The 10th house governs your public persona, reputation, and natural ability to influence. It's the house of success and achievement, and it reveals how you are perceived by the world. Incorporating the energy of your 10th house into your style will help you create a look that reflects your professional ambitions and showcases your strengths.

2. Using Glamour Magic to Project the Energy of Another Sign
One of the key components of glamour comes down to the simple ability to create a magical illusion. This can be for many reasons, but one of the most common is for maneuvering a situation to go in your favor. For this purpose, astrology is a wonderful resource to tap in to. Your physical presence can be a wonderful key that unlocks the door to doing just this, and glamstrology provides an opportunity for you to channel the energy of a different zodiac sign to navigate any obstacle. Whether it's an important job interview, a first date, or resolving a conflict with someone, you can use the art of glamour magic to project the qualities of another sign and achieve the best possible outcome.

Channeling Aries Energy for Self-Confidence: If you need to take charge of a situation or assert yourself in a powerful way, channeling Aries energy can help you project confidence and fearlessness. To embody Aries, wear bold, red clothing; strong, statement-making accessories; and a confident attitude.

Channeling Taurus Energy for Stability: When you need to bring a sense of calm and stability to a situation, channeling Taurus energy can help you stay grounded and centered. To embody Taurus, wear earthy tones; soft, comfortable fabrics; and luxurious accessories that make you feel secure and abundant.

Channeling Gemini Energy for Versatility: If you need to navigate a complex social situation or communicate your ideas effectively, channeling Gemini energy can help you be versatile and articulate. To embody Gemini, wear bright, colorful clothing; maximalist style; playful accessories; and embrace your natural curiosity and wit.

Channeling Cancer Energy for Compassion: When you need to bring a sense of care and empathy to a situation, channeling Cancer energy can help you connect with others on an emotional level. To embody Cancer, wear soft, pastel colors; comfortable, nurturing fabrics; and sentimental accessories that remind you of home and family.

Channeling Leo Energy for Leadership: If you need to take the spotlight or inspire others, channeling Leo energy can help you project charisma and confidence. To embody Leo, wear bold, glamorous clothing; gold accents; and luxurious accessories that make you feel like royalty.

Channeling Virgo Energy for Practicality: When you need to be detail-oriented and efficient, channeling Virgo energy can help you stay focused and organized. To embody Virgo, wear clean, tailored clothing; neutral colors; and minimalistic accessories that reflect your attention to detail.

To embody Sagittarius, wear bohemian and retro styles, vibrant patterns, and travel-inspired accessories that reflect your love of exploration.

Channeling Capricorn Energy for Ambition: When you need to achieve a goal or stay focused on your long-term ambitions, channeling Capricorn energy can help you stay disciplined and determined. To embody Capricorn, wear structured, professional clothing; neutral colors; and classic accessories that reflect your ambition and value for success.

Channeling Aquarius Energy for Innovation: If you need to think outside the box or bring a fresh perspective to a situation, channeling Aquarius energy can help you embrace your individuality and creativity. To embody Aquarius, wear unconventional styles, bold patterns, and futuristic accessories that reflect your innovative spirit.

Channeling Pisces Energy for Imagination: When you need to connect with others on a deep, emotional level or tap into your intuition, channeling Pisces energy can help you embrace your compassionate and artistic side. To embody Pisces, wear flowing fabrics, soft colors, and ethereal accessories that reflect your dreamy, imaginative nature.

3. Dressing According to the Astrological Season
In addition to creating a unique look based on your astrological chart and projecting the energy of another sign, you can also align your style with the astrological seasons. Each zodiac sign governs a specific period of the year, and by dressing in harmony with the current season, you can tap into the cosmic energies that are most prominent at that time. Aside from the traditional astrological seasons that are governed by the sun's transits, you can also style yourself according to Venus's transits to amplify your allure, enhance your personal magnetism, and boost the effectiveness of your glamour magic.

By dressing in harmony with the astrological seasons or planetary transits, you can align your style with the cosmic energies that are most prominent at that time. This not only enhances your personal style but also allows you to tap into the natural rhythms of the universe and express your unique personality in a way that is in tune with the world around you.

Conclusion
Glamstrology is a powerful tool that allows you to create a unique look based on your astrological chart, project the energy of another sign for specific situations, and align your style with the astrological seasons and planetary transits. By understanding the astrological influences on your appearance, personality, and public persona, you can harness the power of the stars to enhance your personal style and navigate life with confidence—attracting your desires to you. Whether you're looking to create a signature look, channel a different energy for a specific situation, or simply align your style with the cosmic rhythms, glamstrology offers endless possibilities for self-expression and empowerment.

Last summer, I was driving to work when I had a sudden vision of a man I feel a strong spiritual connection to. I believe we are soul mates though we have never had an opportunity to be together in this life. We are friendly acquaintances but do not see each other often. In any event, in my mind's eye I saw myself in a kitchen I didn't recognize, and heard knocking. I turned and saw my friend standing outside a screen door. He asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I agreed and went outside with him. During our walk, he told me he loved and admired me but we could not be together in this life because we each have separate major missions to accomplish, he as an artist and me as a mental health professional. As a result, we both need to be in relationships with people who will support us and help us reach these goals. (He has been in such a relationship for years.) This type of devotion was not something we could provide each other (particularly him to me). He went on to say that I would meet another soul mate soon and that this man would love me completely and encourage me to follow my dreams. (Strangely enough, I met my current boyfriend two months later, and he fits this description!) My friend wished me well and the vision ended. I know this friend frequently practices transcendental meditation. Did he send me this vision? If so, what was his intention? The information he provided about our connection was something I already accepted and was at peace with. I am curious to hear your take on this experience. Thanks so much!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the people we love and admire from afar could come to us and tell us everything that we want or need to hear? Then we could go on with our lives as if nothing had happened between us. This would enable us to avoid addressing the magical dreams/visions we have with the other person, and allow us to keep things the way they had been on the surface while we move on with our own individual paths.

I believe your vision was born out of the love that you feel for this man, and that he probably admires you as well. I know a lot about spiritual law and human nature, and while it's not impossible, it's improbable that this person sent you that vision. For someone else to come into your subconscious that way, they would have to be a Guide, Angel or Deity.

Perhaps one of your Guides came to you in that vision and impersonated that person so that you would be able to get on with your life and move in a completely different direction without any regrets. Our Guides and Angels often appear to us in our visions as other people, places or things to show us what will happen in the new beginnings that are coming our way.

We all have free will, and there are spiritual laws that prevent other people from taking over our minds and pushing themselves into our inner worlds. It's possible that you'd been wondering about the strong connection you feel to this man, and your own mind created this vision for you. When you went for a mental walk with your friend, you
heard all the things you needed to hear from your own subconscious mind.

If you were attached to being with this person prior to this experience, this vision helped you release your need to be with him and allowed you to move on with your life. It encouraged you to go in a different direction with a new boyfriend whose goals and dreams are in harmony with yours.

Regardless of the source of this vision, by releasing your need to be with this person, your life has been enriched. Now you'll be able to let this new relationship blossom into what you've always wanted.

Realize that this was a choice that YOU made, not some mystical thing that happened because someone else willed it to be. Your own mind and spirit is stronger within you than anyone else's ever could be. I'm glad you've found someone wonderful and that you're able to build a life together in a way that really works for you both.

Susyn:

Based on the nature of the messages you received during this vision, you can be almost certain that your friend was visiting you in spirit either through transcendental meditation or astral projection. There were specific sentiments and information he wanted you to consciously know even though you were already aware of them in your heart.

Though you had already accepted that you were destined to take different paths in life, his visit via this vision was very important to both of you. He wanted you to know that he shared your feelings. He also wanted to make sure you understood the reasons you could not be together in this lifetime, though both of you had hopes for a different outcome. He felt that sharing these messages with you would bring peace and acceptance to the situation.

One of the greatest challenges we face is the higher awareness that we have shared loving relationships in other lifetimes that cannot be repeated in our current incarnation. However, I sense that in past lives as well as this lifetime, you were separated by various circumstances. The kitchen you saw yourself in during the vision suggested to me a war-time past life. It may have been that in that lifetime, he was called to duty and did not return.

It's highly likely that you have a pattern in your past lives of having great feelings for one another and being unable to express them. If you are willing to do some past life research with a professional psychic, you could discover more than one lifetime in which you had this sort of experience.

The beauty of this relationship is how you two are able to connect on a spiritual level, if not a physical one. He sent you messages of comfort, love and support, and now you can also do the same.

The best way to do this is to write him a letter, sharing any thoughts and loving sentiments you would like to send his way. Then, during a guided meditation in which you focus on him, you can burn the letter with the flame of a white candle. Burning the letter will send it out into the atmosphere where he can receive it. This may happen when he is meditating, dreaming, or having a vision similar to yours.

When we remember that our spirits connect us more deeply than any physical or emotional interactions we might share, and that this type of connection endures through lifetimes, it's easier to accept the human limitations we are destined to operate under during certain phases of our journeys through time.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
