The Almuten of Style
an excerpt of a ground-breaking technique from "Styling with the Stars Vol. II"
Introducing: Styling with the Stars
This week I released my follow-up to Planetary Fashion Guidebook: Styling with the Stars Volume II.
I help you delineate which planets determine your unique signature style and how to use your chart to unlock the vibe that best suits your iconic self.
Fashion is an aspect of our divine self, our unique expression of who we were born to be. It is not frivolous, though it is a source of pleasure and joy.
I’ve always considered my interest in style as vital and consequential— the opposite of frivolous. When I began studying astrology, I had a language for why that was true. Even our most “mundane” aspects had a place in the divine whole, the grand plan as elucidated by the natal chart. By studying this celestial blueprint, we can uncover how our sense of self is expressed through our sense of style, a form of creativity.
Part of what I try to teach through my Creative Practice Consults is that artistry exists in everything we do— even putting together an outfit for lounging around the house. Those quotidian gestures, like considering how to dress ourselves on a given day, transmit a signal, fill our inner well, stoke the muse.
There’s something akin to magic that coalesces when we dress in a way that reflects our “true self,” which is also allowed to be porous, ever-shifting mysterious.
There are certain places in the chart we can look to that speak directly to our fashion sense and this guidebook aims at elucidating how to consider these various placements and integrate them into your signature style.
In Volume II of Styling with the Stars, I walk through how to use your chart to determine which planets shape your style (if you want to learn about the styles of the different plants, check out my first guidebook!), primarily the ascendant, Venus, the Lot of Eros an the 5th house. I also include info on the 2nd house for figuring our your style resources.
Within this second volume I also unveil a new technique I’ve conjured, drawing from past methods, called the Almuten of Style. It walks you through how to determine which planet has the biggest impact on your iconic aesthetic.
This technique is unique, created by me, and can only be found in Styling with the Stars Vol. II. Read on for how to calculate and apply this exciting new technique.
The Almuten of Style
Perhaps, rather than wading through all the complexities and astrological points mentioned in the last section, you would rather just determine which planet is loudest in your style signature and be done with it: enter the Almuten of Style.
In astrology, the word “almuten” comes from the Arabic “al-mutazz,” meaning “the victor”. The almuten, put simply, is whatever planet has the most dignity, and thus the most influence, over a specific degree. ofthe zodiac. The almuten is generally used to determine which planet has the most power over a chart and thus tinges the natives life most strongly. In some techniques, the almuten is crucial in uncovering the nature of your holy guardian angel.
In this case, we are looking specifically for the planet that rules your fashion sense most strongly, so we will use most of the above-discussed points to calculate the Almuten of Style.
