Let's begin with the slowest planet — Pluto. Pluto’s energy joins in our theme when the public consciousness is ready for the acceptance of new fashionable idea. Pluto defines new ways for the processing of fabrics and use of all properties of applied materials. Pluto’s monastery is Scorpio, a magic and sexual sign. Therefore the second important function of Pluto is the reflection of socially comprehensible stereotype of sexuality. Passage of a transit Pluto on the Zodiac specifies in means by which this sexuality is reached. Neptune forms representation about a fashionable image, enriching imagination and increasing brightness of imagination. Neptune’s influence forms a new type of the ideal woman which fashion designers aspire to embody in their collections. Appreciably, Neptune influences perception of smells. It is possible also to track evolution in the world of spirits and
aromas, changes in their composition at the passage of Neptune in the different signs. However, the main heavenly fashion designer is Uranus. Passing on the Zodiac, he breaks existing installations and offers absolutely new decisions. Uranus is a perpetuum mobile which continuously processes the formation of fashion. So, slow planets prepare our consciousness for perception of an actual image of a fashion. Then more particularly, fashion will be created by near planets. We will talk about them separately. Saturn is the most important among the planets which are responsible for appearance of fashionable clothes. A keyword of Saturn is structure. Under the influence of strong Saturn in transits we’ll obtain a suit with accurately designated structure, with laconic elements of a cut, in which no superfluous anything is formed. Symbolism of Saturn also embodies corset products — they define how the outer clothing will look. Elements of Saturn in clothes are rigid turn-down collars, lapels, under coat hangers, the secret fastener, the underlined constructive seams. The minimum quantity of details is used to contrast in the finishing touches like an edging or a band. Saturn type ornaments are an embroidery underlining structure — a lace etc. Materials that hold the form well, rigid fabrics or with development, crepe gathered at the interlacing etc. are used for such style. Jupiter is responsible for social adaptation of fashionable idea. A new style becomes fashionable when it is accepted by the people possessing prosperity and influencing the formation of public opinion. By means of clothes, Jupiter’s idea about an accessory belonging to a certain social stratum is embodied. Jupiter symbolizes «the big blessing», «large achievements» and this is expressed in free silhouette clothes, in the spacious forms, a generous cut. Such tendencies are reflected in various capes, breed of a kimono, in use of draperies and asymmetric details, breed of a sleeve in the type of a small lamp, a gammon. Separate elements urge to strengthen efficiency of clothes by large buttons, a fringe, brushes, fur, laces, and arms. Periodically, transits of Jupiter cause revival of this or that tradition of an ethnic suit in modern clothes. A strong Jupiter is often seen in horoscopes of known fashion designers. It is necessary for that special flair which allows expecting fashion changes. Influence of Mars on formation of a fashionable suit is shown particularly enough. His keyword is action. If a strong Mars is in the birth horoscope of a fashionable idea, sports style or a style with the tightened, accurate silhouette becomes top-revealed. Movement freedom is reached thanks to elements of Mars, such as various cuts, inserts from the facilitated fabric. Everything is used in breed that is convenient, but is not necessarily effective — a sleeve, a raglan (his author is the general the Raglan), T-shaped breed.
Martian character reflects on military elements in clothes: epaulets, coquettes, a coatovercoat and a redingote. Mercury is the fast planet, it is responsible for contacts. Mercury connects – it connects clothes details in our case. Various fasteners on buttons, buttons, lightning’s, or flypaper become a fashion because of his influence. The fastener can be accented or hidden — with an asymmetric detail, secret, a fastener-polo. Strong influence of Mercury in the horoscope of new fashionable idea is shown in set of fine details, it is a lot of furnish — specific tailoring technics, wafer assemblages. The most typical «mercurian» clothes are a military shirt with pockets, valves and epaulets. Venus, as well as it is necessary to a planet of beauty, it urged to bring ornaments in already ready suit. The movement of Venus on the signs forms representation about new fashionable accessories. These are various scarfs, shawls, headdresses, bags, umbrellas, gloves, accessories (buckles, belts, buttons), ornaments (application, an embroidery, artificial flowers, hairpins for hair, bows), etc. Under the influence of Venus changes are brought to a fashion and ornaments. From time to time products enter into a fashion from natural stones and precious metals, or again the costume jewelry and ornaments from natural materials becomes more actual. We can draw our first conclusion in fashion astrology on the basis of previous explanations: 1) Slow planets influence perception of a fashion, creating the sketch of the future fashionable suit. 2) Near planets are responsible for a concrete embodiment of this idea taking into account structure, details and color.
