Amy Berg’s documentary about Janis Joplin, Janis: Little Girl Blue, doesn’t tell us whether the ‘60s R&B rocker was a serious student of astrology. But twice in the film Joplin notes she’s a Capricorn. Turns out the girl knew enough about her sun sign to aim high and not take no for an answer. However, […]
Astrology: Fashion and Yoga Clothing: A Contradiction?
May 12, 2014 by
Is “yoga fashion” a contradictory term? As people own their yoga practices – whether as part of a group at an outside venue, or alone in the privacy of their homes – their focus should be a connection. This means a link with their deepest being, whether the goal is spiritual development or the improvement […]
Astrology: Fashion: Mia Wasikowska’s Eyelet Dress in ‘The Double’
May 8, 2014 by
In The Double, Mia Wasikowska, who plays Hannah, wears a glorious, white eyelet dress, its brightness like a shaft of light against the drab shades of the city’s work and living decor.

Astrology: Fashion: Pocket Squares on ‘Mad Men’
April 28, 2014 by
Don Draper has always prided himself on running the show, even when his baser drives have been the instruments steering his car.

Astrology: Fashion: Bucket Bags
April 9, 2014 by
They’re called bucket bags for good reason. Like pails, they’ve got a broad base that nicely balances your hoard for easy transport. If you jam-pack them in well organized fashion, these babies evoke the mythic Cornucopia or Horn of Plenty. One account of the legend involves the baby god Jupiter, whose mother Rhea had him […]
Astrology: Fashion: Katniss Everdeen’s Gray Shawl-Vest-Cowl
November 22, 2013 by
She steals every scene she’s in up on the big screen in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. And we don’t mean Jennifer Lawrence. It’s that gorgeous, gray, gotta-have-it thingie Jen’s Katniss wears over a leather jacket in the beginning of the movie. You know the multi-hyphenate woolly item I mean. Thick gray yarn. Hybrid cowl-wide […]

October 18, 2013 by
You won’t find a more graceful Saturn archetype than the one expressed in J. C. Chandor’s All Is Lost, a movie – more like a cinematic meditation – about Saturnine wisdom, solitude, old age, endurance, survival and mortality. The carrier of these traits, as referred to in the closing credits, is “Our Man,” played by […]
Astrology: Fashion: Lake Bell’s Overalls in ‘In a World…’
August 9, 2013 by
Aside from the denim they’re made from, what’s fashion-forward about overalls? Not much. Which is why their appearance in two movies opening today make them food for thought. It’s easy to characterize overalls as Neptunian – so roomy that you can’t tell where they end or begin. Basically, donning overalls is like swimming in a […]
Astrology: Film: ‘Prince Avalanche’ (2013)
August 7, 2013 by
In Prince Avalanche, painting yellow lane-dividing lines on rural roads is serious Saturnine business.
