Dear Gossips,

I went down a Marilyn Monroe internet black hole yesterday. She’s still making headlines, this time because new footage of one of her most memorable moments has surfaced. We allllll know the image: Marilyn in a white dress, the skirt blowing up around her, exposing her. It happening during filming of The Seven Year Itch. And The New York Times this weekend published a piece about the man, an ordinary citizen, who went out that night with his camera to see what he could get. Hundreds of men were gathered on the streets of New York to perv at the sexiest woman alive. As A.V. Club notes, the footage “reminds us (that) dudes have always been kind of gross”. The NYT also reminds us what that shot cost her. Marilyn was married to Joe DiMaggio at the time. And along with all those dudes, he also showed up to set that day. Joe was obsessive and possessive. And he was so angry at seeing his wife being leered at by so many men that they ended up having a huge fight that resulted in bruises all over her face.

Marilyn Monroe was born under the sign of the Tiger. She is suuuuuch a Tiger. The Tiger experiences luck in the extremes. When luck is high, it is the highest. When luck is low, it is the lowest. The Tiger’s luck analysis for the upcoming Year of the Rooster will be posted on Friday. Today we focus on the Horse.

Blessed by two love stars, romance possibilities could be abundant for Horses during the Year of the Rooster. It is a good year for a wedding. There are also two food stars shining on Horses. There may be a lot to eat. In Chinese culture, food luck is sometimes even more desirable than love luck. If you have lots of food, it means you’re comfortable, you’re secure.

To offset those four lucky stars though, Horses might be affected by two sh-tty ones. So while your love life and your food life may be smooth, it’s best not to begin big projects during this Year of the Rooster. Take this time to enjoy the love and all the eating. It’s a year of appreciation rather than a year of aggression. The exception to this is the 1966 Horse. The 1966 Horse could benefit from a benefactor this year. Halle Berry is a 1966 Horse. She’s been pretty quiet the last couple of years. Am curious to see if we’ll be hearing more from her. And if she’ll fall in love again.

1930 Horses must be very careful about health during the Year of the Rooster.

1942 Horses might enjoy some money luck. A sum of money could be on the way. 

1954 Horses will do a lot this year. But the yield might not match the effort. So keep your body strong and the late nights to a minimum. You’re too busy to miss out on sleep and rest.

1978 Horses are surrounded by love this year. Accept it, enjoy it, and be grateful for it. Have a good time.

1990 Horses are advised to avoid high risk activities. And celebrate your birthday. Don’t hide away on your birthday. Be with friends and family. This is not the year for a low key birthday.

Overall for Horses, there could be a lot of love on the way during the Year of the Rooster. Love everywhere, wherever you go. Not just romantic love but all kinds of love. Be smart about your friends though. They can be allies in the future. But if you’re not responsible with their affection, you will lose opportunities.

In August and September, try not to take on too much. Relax and reset. In November and December, watch your spending and be careful of investments. In December through to January 2018, be vigilant about your health. And get a full checkup during this time.

Tomorrow: the Snake. That’s Taylor Swift.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
