July Horoscope

Your personal closet

A Full Moon in your sign on July 1 might leave you feeling extra emotional. You might realize that it's time to shed your dead skin, much like a snake. There may be a part of your life that is no longer workable, whether it's a relationship, goal or something about your personal identity. Now is the time to clean out your personal closet so that you can make room for your best self to emerge.
Relationships come into focus on July 15 and it's possible that you'll be ready to take on a new business partner. If you are considering this be aware that on this day you might have a slight power struggle relating to how this alliance will work. You'll be tempted to call it off before it even begins but hang in there -- the angry energy will pass. Then, you'll have two weeks to plant seeds around this relationship that are sure to develop in a positive way. If you're married it's also possible that you and your mate will experience a new beginning in your relationship -- even if you need to fight for it.

Venus will retrograde on July 25 until September 6. For most of this cycle, beginning July 31, you'll need to carefully review financial matters connected to investments, taxes, and any debt you have. This will be a good time to get things in better order so that you feel empowered about your financial future.

Is it bad that I don't want to go out to the laundry room and do laundry because I ran into the girl next door downstairs and her father when I was coming home just now and it gave me anxiety so I don't want to run into her again?

Carlo Mollino’s private Polaroids - NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)

Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) was an architect, designer, photographer and writer, not to mention a race-car driver and a pilot. His buildings include the Royal Theatre in Turin, and his furniture, like his photography, is ever more valuable. In 2005, a Mollino table sold for $3.8 million, setting a world record for twentieth-century decorative art.
Upon his death, it was discovered that he had a vast, stunning body of work in Polaroids spanning 1962-1973.

DesignBoom tells us that these were, “the private photographic work he kept which included over 1,000 polaroids portraying beauties of Turin’s nightlife in the nude in mise-en-scène settings. These photographs were part of the preparation of his “house for the warrior’s rest,” known as Casa Mollino, a villa in Turin, situated along the River Po.”
Mollino, said to be one of Italy’s most influential mid-20th century designers, wanted to model his death on those of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, whose souls were taken by boat to a sumptuous city, where they enjoyed opulent afterlives. Casa Mollino was a house he created for his afterlife, “inspired by the project of the construction of the Egyptian pyramid which is the house for the perpetuity of the pharaohs.”
