Happy Andres Bonifacio Day!!

Although he is one of the most important figures (some would argue that he IS the most important figure) in the Philippine revolution for independence from Spain, very few of us really know who Andres, the man, is. As a child, most of the things I was taught, or that I read about, were colored by opinions of teachers and scholars. He was either glorified as a revolutionary hero or condemned for being uneducated and impulsive.

The search for the true and unbiased source of Bonifacio’s identity led me here… to his horoscope. Being born on November 30, he is a Sagittarius.

According to horoscope.com, here some clues for what Sagittarians should expect:

Celebrity Astro Gossip

Sienna Miller recently hit the headlines for the extreme lengths she was prepared to go to in a recent pop video which was definitely not children friendly! However, disturbances in her chart suggest that the next big event in Sienna’s story is going to relate to a personal relationship. Sienna may need to get herself a good publicist as the indications are that there will be some seriously salacious gossip spread around!
[Lesson from Sienna Miller to Andres: get yourself a damn good publicist, team Aguinaldo is spreading some seriously salacious gossip about you at the Tejeros Convention]

For those of us born on November 30

Happy Birthday! The months ahead are likely to provide those exciting challenges that stave off the boredom [like fighting for independence, yea!!]. Your money situation will remain strong until well into the summer, so expect no fluctuations in your finances until then. However after the summer it will be important to keep an eye on your spending patterns. The months of May and June will be a good time to take on new ventures and interests [like running for president, go Boni!], because while your energy will be at a peak you’ll also be in a more practical frame of mind, but make sure that you don’t neglect your friends [or they will promptly throw a hissy fit and then have you executed]. The fall will bring with it yet more developments [like being dead and in a shallow grave]. Affairs and flings will be the order of the day in the pursuit of fun [yes… Pugadlawin WAS super fun…]. Friendships become very solid in October and work or school will also absorb your somewhat flagging energy, which will be revived by a short respite in November!

Sagittarius Fashion Profile

The Archer is usually more at home under the stars than indoors, but even the illustrious explorer needs to wear clothing [so true!]. Not big on fashion, and not really caring about making a statement, you dress in comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement and can handle the rugged nature of your existence [uhh, yeah.. you can’t get more rugged than a Katipunero, hello!]. Clothing made out of hemp or other natural fibers suit you best. If you finally manage to render a garment unwearable for the holes [or bullet holes], you can give it [and yourself] a proper burial to return it to the earth. Hippie days are not past yet, for long skirts, ponchos and loose-fit jeans suit you perfectly. Sportswear of any kind suits your lifestyle. You may look out of place during dressy occasions [no shit!], but you're not so concerned about what others think of your looks, concentrating instead on letting them in on the inner levels of your knowledge.

Hiking boots or sandals adorn your feet on most days [psshhh, shoes are for sissies! Katipunero's only roll barefoot!]. Going barefoot is not too rare, either [see?]. Makeup is a pain and jewelry just gets in the way, broken or lost, so you simply don't wear any [you speak the truth]. Strong colors, particularly navy blue [uh, hello, red?], lifts your spirits, but you rarely bother to match your clothing. Sagittarius men have no problem with scraggly beards, and a woman's hair is something to turn into natural dreadlocks [hahaha!! i won't even say anything], shave off or throw back in a ponytail. Your colorful clothing causes smiles as you go, unassuming, on your way.

Fave Label: Marc Jacobs [huh… I always saw Andy as more of a Michael Kors kind of guy]

Would Look Good On: Katie Holmes
