Violets, I know what you mean. How hard is it to just cut it right?

They are SO afraid that they will cut too much that they don't do right at all...

Chickenlivers.

Ahahaha... Or they *think* they know what type of style I'm asking for, but they do not. So I get some weird haircut that I end up hating, and then I just go ahead and have it chopped back to a pixie cut because why bother, haha.

And if you have thick, curly hair with cowlicks like I do, just forget it. It's as if they don't teach it in beauty school or something.

I paid $50 for one of the most horrid haircuts I've ever had (that seems like a lot of money for a really bad haircut).

So...on second thought, forget it. I'll stick with headbands and hats until it grows out longer, and THEN get it cut. It seems like they understand curly hair better when it's long.

I was going to spend some of my Christmas money to have mine touched up, but then thought I might wait just a bit...

I completely agree, I tried to tell them what I wanted three times in a row, thought they understood, then ended up not saying anything, because I didn't want them to know how -not what I wanted- it was.

So until the end of January and thirteen Degrees...

Here's a simple article about this Venus Rx.

Venus Retrograde

When Venus is retrograde, we re-evaluate many things in our lives, aiming to achieve that perfect balance of beauty, harmony and happiness. We re-evaluate our important relationships to see if they are providing us the harmony we hoped for. We look around our environment and make adjustments; rearranging the furniture, repainting the walls a different color, or making other changes to beautify our surroundings. It is the same with our personal appearance; we try a new hairstyle or redecorate ourselves, always with this urge towards more beautification. It is a good idea to allow for this period of experimentation since preferences may change again by the time Venus concludes her retrograde cycle.

It’s only about every 18 months that Venus goes retrograde for about 40 days. She spends the least amount of time retrograde of any of the “planets”. (Of course the Sun and Moon are technically the “lights” and they never go retrograde.)

Venus’s next retrograde period begins December 21, 2013 when Venus stations at 28º Capricorn. Venus moves back to 13º Capricorn, resuming direct motion on January 31, 2014. Venus makes it back to 28º Capricorn on March 3, 2014.

Venus is rather like our happiness gauge. During its backward motion we have the opportunity to take a deep look at what is making us happy, whether it be relationships, situations, environment or “things”. We enter a period of review of these.

Throughout this process, keep in mind that Venus has to do with attraction, affections, and objects of devotion. Venus connects to the sentiments and since our sensitive side is more sensitive than usual, it’s a good idea to practice diplomacy and be gentle, especially with those you love. They are likely to be the first target of your displeasure. Give others the benefit of the doubt.

If the passions are aroused a new relationship could form. In this case you might need to reevaluate how precious your freedom is. In many cases, there’s a matter of a choice; giving up one thing in order to have another. Incidentally, it’s a good time to explore a new relationship but not a good time to wed. For some, the need to end a relationship will be real and a wise choice, however, you should be wary of the impulse for this Venus to act too quickly. Think it over carefully and if you have the slightest inkling that you could be making a mistake, wait awhile. We may be anxious to turn over a new leaf only to find later on that something crucial is missing from the new page.

Ruling objects of beauty, art, décor, jewelry, etc. this may not be the best time to make expensive purchases, but a time to de-clutter and let go of things that are no longer a reflection of who you are. Look around you; what about that old collection of ______ from the ’80s? Does it still bring you the pleasure it once did or have you outgrown it? Let it go and make room to grow. You may not want to actually sell it until Venus turns direct if it’s really valuable but you can spruce it up and get it ready – emotionally detach.

Of course, there’s always the chance that something will “happen to” some of our “stuff” that upsets us. We lose something, break something, plans are cancelled, etc. If you find a way to use the energy of this transit constructively, however, fewer of these incidents will occur.

Oh God yes. I suppose my Leo AC does show in some way with my hair, because it is BIG, curly, and kinda fuzzy if I don't put something in it. And a lot of cowlicks.

So I suppose, in all fairness, it's kind of hard to cut. But I've come across a few awesome individuals who got my references to hairstyles worn by certain musicians or in certain films, and they've done great jobs.

She wasn't open last time, so I just went to the stupid Walmart one.

I guess when she started talking about how much she hated her mother always spoiling her wayward son as she was hacking and a-hewing on my abundant locks, I should have headed for the hills before it was too latttttttteee........

Don't ever go to Walmart.
