The main feature of a fashion is — that it passes. But there is one more feature — that it comes back, i.e. develops on a spiral. A step of this spiral have different extent — depending on that, how much precisely we wish to imagine a fashionable image.

Slow planets prepare for our consciousness for perception of an actual fashion image in the most general features. So, Pluto defines new technologies and materials which are used for manufacturing clothes, and also reflects socially comprehensible stereotype of sexuality. Pluto ingression into Capricorn, possible, will be expressed in more constrained displays of sexuality. An ideal of the woman of new time — externally constrained, internally collected self-sufficient lady of middle age. Neptune forms representation about new type of ideal woman which aspire fashion designers to embody in their collections. Neptune in Aquarius washes away borders between traditional female and man’s qualities, and all of us more often meet with the new experiments with behaviour and a fashion. Appreciably Neptune influences perception of smells. About each 12 years we observe occurrence of new family of perfumes.

The most unexpected changes in a fashion are born under influence of Uranus. It breaks existing installations and offers absolutely new decisions. The further destiny of fashionable idea depends on social readiness. This is under responsibility of the other social planet — Jupiter.

How cycles of Uranus and Jupiter here are joined? The full cycle of Uranus bringing new trends in a fashion, makes 84 years, and Jupiter, fixing new tendencies — 12 years, one year in each sign. Thus, cardinal changes in a fashion occur at the moment of connection of Uranus and Jupiter cycles — 1 time in 14 years. It is the first important conclusion, which has laid down in a basis of my astrological theory of forecasting of a fashion.

We can consider the scheme, on which the moments of connection in one sign on Uranus and Jupiter are designated.

Periods of connection of Uranus and Jupiter cycles.

In each case such intervals of time mean the beginning of a new epoch in a fashion. Last connection of Uranus and Jupiter, which took place in 1997, I have named the beginning of Aquarius epoch in a fashion. For this period improbable mixture of different elements and styles in clothes, convenience and multi-functionality is characteristic. These clothes are able to express the individuality and are continuation of a private world of the person. These tendencies are kept now also.

Using cycles of Uranus and Jupiter, we can predict the following moment of the next cardinal change of a fashion — it will occur in 2011, during the moment of connection of Uranus and Jupiter in Aries.

So, slow planets prepare our consciousness for perception of an actual fashion image. More particularly it is created by fast planets. We shall talk about them separately.

Among the planets, which are responsible for appearance of fashionable clothes, Saturn is the main. A keyword of Saturn — the structure. Other important influence of Saturn — the quality. During retro Saturn movement returning of a fashion of the last years is vintage dresses, ornaments, ancient lines of a cut are especially noticeably. The cycle of Saturn duration 30 years (more exact — 29,6 years) is the richest on retro-fashion. One of retro-fashion versions — retro-futurism or «returning in the future» — also is based on Saturn cycles.

But rebirth of retro-fashion is possible only with support of space sponsors. This role social planet plays — for example, Jupiter. 12-year cycle of Jupiter reflects change of fashionable tendencies in most brightly way. Jupiter is first significance of color, and also style and a silhouette of clothes. Transits of Jupiter influences on key silhouette of clothes:

Jupiter in fiery signs — A-silhouette;
Jupiter in air signs — X-shaped silhouette;
Jupiter in water signs — free, oval silhouette;
Jupiter in terrestrial signs — rectangular silhouette.

Influence of Mars on formation of a fashionable suit is shown quite well. Its keyword — the action. Transits of Mars have no independent value and should be considered only in aspects with slow planets. Retro Mars does not render appreciable influence on a fashion.

Mercury in our case connects different details of clothes. Under strong influence of Меrcury in a horoscope of new fashionable idea is shown in set of fine details, it is a lot of furnish. During retro Меrcury many good things start to spoil, be torn. At this time is better to get rid of old clothes, not buying anything new.

Under influence of Venus the fashion on ornaments varies, there are new forms and color scores in jeweller ornaments and accessories. Transits of Venus also should be considered only in aspects to the slow planets.

If we consider a solar cycle, it will be a question of year change in fashionable shape. And it is enough with it for an obsolescence of things.

If we use lunar phases it serves as the good justification of bad humor and excellent motivation to shopping for women.

But very soon we’ll become witnesses of a birth of a new fashion, which will appear as a result of connection of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, in 2011. Already now we can present basic characteristics of a fashion-2011.

So, the presented technic of fashion forecasting by using cycles of planets

allows us to predict a fashion as in general, and in details, and to become the participant of interesting, fascinating process.
