I read somewhere that there are certain times which are "good and bad for cutting" hair. I just thought that it wouldn't hurt doing it when it's supposed to be a "good" time.I've been wanting to cut my hair and last night I had a dream of cutting it, so I'm going to do it. So, when's a good time to do it? cut hair that is... ------------------ "I am certainly not one of those who need to be prodded. In fact, if anything, I am the prod." Winston Churchill. IP: Logged |

definitely dont do it during a mercury rx(think britney spears- bald). which is coming up soon, i think.venus aspecting your natal sun/and or ascendant is a good time. t venus squaring/opposing saturn/pluto usually isnt a good time. venus trine, conj venus. IP: Logged |

Great! <-----[sarcasm] It won't be happening soon enough. I also heard that one mustn't cut hair during one of the Moon's phases, e.g. when it's void of course, or something... (??)IP: Logged |

I agree with all of writesomething's suggestions. Speaking for myself, I wouldn't let a Mercury Rx put me off if Venus happened to be nicely aspecting my ASC. I'm not sure about the specifics of the moon in relation to hair cutting, BUT I have read if you want your hair to grow back faster you should cut it when the moon is waxing, and if you want it to grow back slower you should cut it when the moon is waning. The same principle applies to shaving - so it's best to shave your legs when the moon is waning. IP: Logged |

Oh great, I need a haircut in a few weeks.I'm going to take my chances. I can't walk around with this mop longer than that and I can't do it before the Rx. I'll let you know what happens....

Something I quoted for GL a few months back from Tales from 1001 Nights: quote: Furthermore the ascendant of this our day is, according to the exactest science of computation, the planet Mars; and it so happeneth that Mercury is in conjunction with him, denoting an auspicious moment for hair cutting
Makes sense. Hand control is ruled by mercury and a cut that is done well by mars. Otherwise, when the moon is in a barren sign I hear. Growth is good for moon in fertile signs. IP: Logged |

very niiice guys. thanks.I'll do it during Merc Rx when tvenus conj asc and njupiter; trine nvenus and PoF. I'm just thinking that there aren't many mechanical 'tech' things when cutting hair, so I could be safe. I just need to be clear with the haidresser about how many centimeters I want off.

Ooooooooooooh!! Thank you so much for this info! I want to get a new haircut, something radical, short and asymmetrical (think crazy Uranus sextiling my ASC). I'm Cap Asc so this would be a very big change for my otherwise conservatory looks - if I mess it up it's gonna be dramatic. I was going to do it in November, but now I have Venus, Mercury, Mars and Moon to consider too lol.

oook, Dec 3rd is the day. Venus cnj Jupiter cnj Cap Asc, Moon in Aqua for the original/wacky cut, Uranus sextile Venus goes along the same line. Sun-Mercury-Mars conjunction in Sag conjunct my natal Jup and trine Sun! I'm also having Saturn trine Asc to guarantee that I won't be shaving my head. Ah, I can't wait! I've been wanting that haircut so badly! I'm gonna go make an appointment. IP: Logged |

Well, I had to tell my mother about my desire to cut my hair. Needless to say, she almost had a hernia. She then proceeded to beg and bribe me to not cut my hair. Now I'm confused again. I have mother issues. It's obvious now. She's acting like it won't grow back. I should've kept my mouth shut. Curse the Jupiter conjunct my Asc and it's "big mouth" inducing qualities. Curse it!!!!

I didn't mean that in a bad way, you know. I admire Libra Mercs, they're very diplomatic, hardly ever offend someone. I was unsuccessfully trying to say you should please yourself first and worry about the rest later. Ok, now I'm really really curious to see what you're gonna go for!IP: Logged |

I wasn't offended at all. Seriously. Don't be too excited. I might just trim it and leave it at that. IP: Logged |

Don't get color right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! This woman with 10 years experience just burnt the he-l out of my hair,especially the ends. I haven't even had the nerve to brush it out there was so much coming out in my hand! I left even before she dried it.I just pray I didn't lose all my length.This is the worst and it was one of the best salons in town.IP: Logged |

HiI have lost my usual confidence to post pictures. Unfortunately, I gave my word. I took the pictures from my machine's built in camera so the angles are weird. Here we go: Pics removed I didn't cut too short. Here's the real length below. I was just messing with you in the above pics. It's not that short. Pics removed My hair was beginning to curl back when I took the pics, as you can see in the ends of one of the pics. The fact is, my hair has a mind of its own and trying to control it leads to madness. I assume that I'm committing some sort of fashion crime (showing my hair malfunctioning) but... *shrugs* as long as the fashion police aren't the real police, I'm not too worried. They can give me imaginary tickets all they want. IP: Logged |

Cool pics! Your hair looks great - not malfunctioning! stillatlarge - that's terrible. Have you complained? Gotten a refund? Anything? Hairdressers have too much power to ruin good hair and get away with it. It doesn't matter what the transits are, a disastrous job is the hairdressers fault and they should compensate you.
