If you favour a softer approach, see that Venus, named for nan goddess of emotion and beauty, is nan ruling satellite of Taurus.

Wear nan apical hat, wield nan whip and invited nan kink!
VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Virgo is Latin for Virgin, and for this ilk, I propose paying homage to Madonna (a Virgo moon) by dressing arsenic nan Material Girl successful her “Like A Virgin” era complete pinch a lace corset and Boy Toy loop buckle.
Alternatively, conservatively and pinch an oculus connected gender neutrality, Virgos tin transmission their governing tarot card, The Hermit, by either abstaining from going retired altogether, aliases decking themselves retired successful a hooded cloak and a lantern and moving misanthropically done nan masses.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
The constellation of Aquarius is associated pinch nan mythical h2o bearer Ganymede, a beautiful younker who fetched libations for nan gods.
Aquarians tin transmission this power by rocking a toga, coating nan three-line squiggle semen glyph of their motion connected their foreheads, and filling their respective vessels pinch artisan h2o aliases good liquor, liquid LSD aliases lemonade, and doling retired nan equipment of nan gods accordingly.
