Stardust Motel
The long-awaited sequel (part two?)
I’ve wrestled with this for a while, trying to find the appropriate way to express the energy. Drawing on my own background, I noticed that I started wearing a lot more black when Pluto was riding me hard. Just easier.
In a lecture the other afternoon, I figured out a good example. Happened twice, different genders. Once was a guy, once was girl. Girl I was dating, Virgo, in fact, not that it matters because this is about Pluto going into Capricorn.
Point was, she was mousy blonde. I think that’s the term, “mouse,” not “moose,” and she certainly wasn’t a moose, barely tipping the scales, at that time, at 100 pounds. I had made comments about Goth Girls, and from blonde to black, she went. Odd occurrences, after that. As a blonde, she was used to getting preferential treatment. As black-haired girl, she said she felt like she turned invisible.
A few weeks later, she learned the horrid truth that a suicide goth-look (dyed by her own hand) had irrevocable consequences. Ask any hair expert, “Once you go black, you can never go back.”
Another one of my buddies, a lad who’s been in and around Austin (TX) all his life? When we met, he had hair longer than mine. At least, the strip down his back was longer than mine; at that time, it was shaved on the sides. He was a natural blonde, and while I think his hair had been a variety of colors, I don’t think he really fit the “goth” profile. Again, a Virgo influence, and he dyed his hair black. Long, close to a meter of jet black, straight hair. Good look, in a death metal way.
He started up a conversation with my friend the hair colorist, one of the most famous of all the red headed Capricorn girls. I think he was less interested in her opinion on his hair color and more interested in some of her obvious attributes, which had nothing to do with hair color. However, she did assure him that “Once you go black, you never go back,” like only a Capricorn girl can. He did the leer and nod with the comment.
My buddy eventually shaved is head to get rid of the black-look, something about Goth Girlfriend who wasn’t there anymore. Or something.
He’s bald now, more by choice than force, but he has the option, at any time, to grow his hair out.
The point of Pluto, as it enters Capricorn? Think About permanent decisions, like dying hair black.
As Pluto enters Capricorn, later this month, for the first time in over 200 years, think about the long-term effect of that choice. Like the hair color, more permanent than one would like.
“So this means I’m gong to get a dye job?”
More like a suicide hair color – dye it yourself. And for those who still think this about hair color? Never mind.
