But we must return to the amazing life ofĀ Beau BrummelĀ (7/6/1788) as a precursor to the the configurations we live under in 2026. He was an intriguing character who lived by his wits and was largely responsible for shifting away from the pseudo-aristocratic French style towards the subdued, tailored cuts of modern menswear. His was a studiedĀ understated kind of eleganceĀ to do with quality of cut with nothing showy at all. He was widely admired in his day, but also envied and hated as a good friend but also enemy of the Prince Regent who later became King George IV. So his fortunes rose and fell dramatically during his lifetime and he ended up as bankrupt and in a French asylum.
He had a cluster of planets in Gemini and this included Uranus so he aligns to this era very well. In 2026, he would probably be a number one social media Influencer using AI to his advantage so thatās a lesson we can take from him.Ā He also had Pluto in Aquarius so he was his own man, challenging the King, so an uncrowned regal figure in his own right. He dictated style and taste and transforming it for the century that followed. His street smarts served him very well during his peak of fame, but in the end it proved to be too much as he was profligate with money and that damaged his mental health.
Again, we can take heed not to overdo things, keep grounded and balanced during these heady times as wherever there are any weaknesses, the warring energies they can easily knock people off their pedestals to trigger a fall from grace.
