EDITOR’S LETTER

Once again we greet fall with a bittersweet embrace, marking the end of sun-drenched summer days on the lake or by the shore, filled with boat rides and barbecues, and balmy, carefree evenings. The air becomes brisker, the pace becomes faster, and in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” “There’s always a time for change, and you should never be frightened of it,” asserts English actress, model, singer, and style icon Charlotte Rampling. The latest edition of Fall Q welcomes new contributor Debbie Bancroft, who not only resembles the swinging sixties stunner in her earlier years, but also shares the same rare attribute of genuine cutiosity. Bancroft delivers a thoughtful and thorough look at Rampling—an esteemed actress and effortless icon who has been draped, photographed, and adored by the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Helmut Newton, and countless others. Known for her cool, distant beauty, dangerous roles, and willingness to candidly bare it all (literally), the 73-year-old Rampling seems to be enjoying a renaissance in her golden years. And speaking of baring it all, don’t miss senior editor Kathryn Maier’s article on the newly minted Paradise Club, a collaboration between Studio 54’s Ian Schrager and Brooklyn’s House of Yes. Studio 54 was, of course, the nightclub where global glitterati (the richest, the most famous, the chicest…) spent the late ’70s and early ’80s dancing, drinking, indulging in debauchery, and feeling fabulous. House of Yes could be considered 54’s contemporary counterpart, albeit with a more democratic door policy. In a former warehouse in Brooklyn, its patrons glam it up to dance to DJs while performers dressed in little more than decorated lingerie writhe and twirl on hoops or silks above the dance floor. As you make your way into Paradise Club, a host may greet you with a “welcome shot” of green apple, pomegranate, and vodka, and a cheeky “Welcome to Paradise.” For those who have joined the throngs of Americans with royal fever, catch new Q contributor Norma Davidoff’s article “Windsor: A Peek Behind The Royal Curtain.” Davidoff visits Frogmore Estate (a name derived from the preponderance of frogs dwelling in its marsh near the River Thames), comprising 33 acres of private gardens within the royal Home Park. The estate includes Frogmore House, a royal retreat, and Frogmore Cottage, where the young Sussexes (aka Harry, Meghan, and Archie) will soon live. Just a “long walk” away is Windsor Castle, where Queen Elizabeth II spends most of her private weekends and takes up official residence for a month over Easter, known as “Easter Court.” If you fancy something Downton Abbey-esque but closer to home, look no further than the manicured grounds of the Relais & Châteaux property Counterclockwise from top right: Charlotte Rampling, Blantyre in Lenox, Massachusetts.

The Economist, Institutional Investor, and Forbes, Debbie landed in the social world she understood slightly better, writing for New York Social Diary and contributing to Town & Country and Elle Décor. She splits her time between New York and Southampton, and visits L.A. as often as possible, as her son, Will, lives there (daughter Serena is local). She was thrilled to try to get to know Charlotte Rampling, long an inspiring enigma, and has always felt a kinship with a fellow heavy eyelidded gal, with whom she wishes she had more in common.

Kathryn Maier > Kathryn joined the staff of Quest and Q magazines after holding editorial roles at other luxury lifestyle publications including Condé Nast Traveler and the Robb Report, and eating her way through New York City as Manhattan’s monthly restaurant critic. In this issue, she takes in the new dinner-theater spectacle that is Paradise Club, a collaboration between Ian Schrager, House of Yes, and chef John Fraser. She also reminisces about Karl Lagerfeld’s theatrical fashion shows for Chanel, and delves into how to assemble a world-class cellar of wines from Burgundy.

82 Tykischa Jacobs > Known fondly at the office as TJ, Tykischa is the graphic designer and production manager for Quest and Q magazines. She uses her creativity to bring this exciting Fall issue of Q to life designing market and front-of-book pages. This season, she particularly enjoyed composing the Evening Looks feature that showcase elegant gala trends (such as Louboutin’s “jewelry for the feet”). Outside of the office, TJ can be found exploring the fascinating Costume Institute at The Met or attending concerts at Gramercy Theater, her favorite venue.

Burgundyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Bottles by

A new book demystifies the complex region, its wines, and their makers, to enable connoisseurs and collectors to assemble a dream cellar.

The wines of the Burgundy region of France are beloved by the most sophisticated oenophiles and considered the crème de la crème of appellations, both red and white. Subtle, well-balanced, terroir-revealing, and often temperamental, the wines are coveted worldwide by those with the finest palates; they’re prized by collectors. Assembling a dream cellar of Burgundy is an expensive and intimidating proposition—but one that can be oh-so-rewarding if done properly. Such a region, so terroir-, vintage-, and producer-dependent, requires an enormous amount of highly specialized knowledge in order to be properly appreciated, however. How on earth might someone who’s not a master sommelier accomplish such an endeavor? Fortunately, Jeannie Cho Lee, the author of The 100: Burgundy (Assouline, 2019), the latest in the publisher’s series of “The 100” books, is a Master of Wine, and she’s produced an accessible and well-informed volume to allow readers to do exactly that. She covers the region’s best winemakers, from benchmark domaines to rising stars, and 100 of their most memorable wines, along with tasting notes. She also includes a guide to the region’s vintages and a glossary of wine terms. It’s essentially everything you need to curate a dream cellar of Burgundy or select the best bottles to enjoy with friends or family. Her tasting notes and information are presented in a clear and straightforward manner, accessible by those just discovering the region, and of a high enough level to further educate knowledgeable collectors. For instance, “There are two wine names to know in Chablis—Dauvissat and Raveneau—and these two estates are closely intertwined,” she writes. “Those who enjoy a more powerful, intense Chablis experience often prefer Raveneau, whereas those who are looking for cerebral, minerally, beguiling Chablis with incredible crystalline purity need look no further than Dauvissat. … [Tasting Dauvissat’s Les Clos] is a thrilling experience: The aroma is like the salty air at the edge of a cliff by the ocean, with high waves crashing on the rocks; the palate is crushed stones and slate, with layers of white flowers and citrus; the finish is the lingering taste of the sea—salt, seaweed, and ocean rocks brushing past the palate.” The 100: Burgundy is an essential guide to the region and the extraordinary wines produced there. u

The jeans that bore her name? Her distinct taste in interior design? She was a woman with wide-ranging interests and an equally expansive career. Here, photographer Gianni Penati captures Vanderbilt for Vogue in 1968, in pants and a felt vest by Adolfo and chains and baubles by Kenneth Lane. Let her look inspire you to throw on some chunky chains and stones like those pictured.

With her honey hair, high cheekbones, and classic good looks, Taylor became a favorite of boundary-pushing photographers like Helmut Newton and Chris von Wangenheim. Michael Kors cited a 1976 Arthur Elgort image of Taylor in a convertible as the photo that made him want to become a designer. He described Taylor as “the ultimate combination of sporty and sexy, which is the quintessential American look.”

Renaud Verleg and Charlotte Rampling in a scene from The Damned (Italian title: La Caduta Degli Dei, meaning “The Fall of the Gods”), 1969; writer Debbie Bancroft (inset). > Opposite page: Charlotte Rampling modeling in the 1970s.

“I remember

my father saying to me once, ‘I finally know how to describe you, Charlotte. You’re prickly.’ And he was right—prickly is a very good description. If I had to be an animal, I’d be a porcupine.” Trying to get one’s arms around this complicated and off-putting, yet simultaneously alluring, talent has challenged writers for decades. Charlotte Rampling has exposed body and soul, literally, in countless nude appearances in film, art, and magazines (notably by Juergen teller in front of the Mona Lisa), and ripped open her heart in her brave recounting of her devastating losses of her sister, and two lovers, and yet remains, by all accounts, and her own, unknowable. Tellingly, her autobiography was entitled Qui Je Suis? or, “Who Am I?” She told The Guardian, “I can be seen as not being very communicative, or rather mysterious, or distant, or rather cold—all those things. Yeah, I know I can give off that im-

pression. So I am that, too.” Which makes all of us want to know more about this legendary beauty, fashion icon, and groundbreaking actress, and is proof that, at 73, the best is yet to come. Charlotte was born in 1946, in Sturman, England, to Ann Gurteen Rampling, a manufacturing heiress, and Godfrey Lionel Rampling, an Olympic gold medalist in track, British Army Colonel, and NATO Commander. She grew up with her sister, Sarah, in Gibraltar, Spain and France, and attended Jean d’Arc pour Jeunes Filles en Versailles, then St. Hilda’s in Bushey, England. She and Sarah had a multilingual singing group and, at 14, briefly toured Europe. Shortly after, she was spotted on the street and cast in a

Cadbury commercial, followed soon after with a small part in Richard Lester’s The Knack, playing one of the leading man’s fantasies—a water-skier. Interestingly, she was joined by Jane Birkin and Jacqueline Bisset in their first film roles. Charlotte officially joined the “Swinging ’60s.” She told the Telegraph: “Our parents hadn’t lived those kinds of lives at all. I was from a middle-class family, but suddenly, class didn’t matter anymore and we could explore fields that we’d never been able to before. It was a very interesting period for people living in London. At the time, I was very much a part of it.” “For a few years” she told The Guardian, “there was this wonderful innocence. We had money, we had jobs, people were making a fortune.” She continued swinging and modeling, and had her first speaking role as a furious, pregnant, amoral violinist in Georgy Girl, sharing a flat with Lynn Redgrave. The swinging stopped abruptly with the death of her beloved sister. Sarah made her first trip to America at 21, met an older, wealthy Argentinian cattle rancher, and, in fear of losing him, married him within one week and moved to his ranch. Three years later, in 1966, she delivered a son prematurely, and shot and killed herself. To protect her mother, her father told her it was a brain hemorrhage. Her mother suffered a stroke, even at the diluted news, and the truth was never revealed until after her death in 2001. “My sister’s death really pulled me up,” Charlotte told The Telegraph. “How can you go on

being frivolous after a death in your family. That’s why, from that moment on, I went deep down. Searching for the whys and wherefores of a life, rather than wanting to be in films or entertainment, or just having fun, or for just looking for a party and being a dolly bird.” She sagely told The Guardian, “We were all searching… trying to use alcohol or drugs, I said, ‘That’s going to completely send me out of my head, where as I have to remain in my body and head.’” Charlotte sought spiritual solace, sold her London home, and traveled to the Middle East, Afghanistan, studied Oriental religion, and entered a Tibetan monastery. She returned as the Charlotte Rampling we know better— introspective, mysterious, unknowable by design it would seem —a form of shield, only lifted as desired. Her career was revived in Visconti’s The Damned, her first foray into a Nazi-driven story, co-starring for the first time with Dirk Bogarde. The Damned was followed by her most controversial role, as the concentration camp survivor who develops a sado-maschocistic relationship with her S.S. guard, again played by Dirk Bogarde. He told The Telegraph, “Once you experience her, you never forget,” and dubbed her trademark, “The look.” While memorable, it was considered a perversely sensual role. Nona Sayres of The New York Times, said, “If you don’t like pain, you won’t find The Night Porter erotic.” Charlotte told The Guardian, “I was seeking protection in dangerous roles. I think the danger is within me. It’s always provocation, or daring or wanting to ignite things or wanting to make things live— not just to repeat, scenes.” Esteemed author Mary Gaitskill took a gentler stance on her role in The New York Times: “It was the joining of the beautiful and the cruelty—the communication between ungiving power and the soft, dumb, knowledge of the body.” Rampling married to her first husband, New Zealander Brian Southcombe, a publicist, in 1972, and had a son, Barnaby (now a TV director), with him. By 1975, the marriage was unraveling with suggestions of a ménage a trois with model Ran-

tion board, you could buy a year’s worth of Galoises. For not only has Rampling made Le Smoking her iconic ensemble, she is also seen airily waving her cigarette in many of her earlier photographs. Inhaling or not (and we hope you quit, CR!), she is a model of elegant, erotic androgyny—the reason God created women in pants.” In another Vogue interview, she was asked if fashion played a role in her childhood, to which she replied, “Yes, very much through my mother. She was a beautiful woman. She loved clothes and my sister did, too. I’ve got a good body and I’m photogenic, but I’m not into wearing clothes in the same way they were.” Does she see herself as an icon, then? they asked. “Yes, but I suppose that’s because I know what I look good in and I know the kind of person I want to be through the clothes, which is not really fashion-fashion, but I know the look. It’s like with words. I know what suits me. Hearing the word ‘icon’ is always very pleasing because that means I have got it!” In the ’80s she starred in Max Mon Amour, as a diplomat’s wife, in love with a chimp (an idea that has surprising reso-

dall Laurence. She told columnist Earl Wilson, “There are so many misunderstandings in life. I once caused a scandal by saying I was living with two men. I didn’t mean it in a sexual sense, I was just too dirty to clean my act up.” The marriage ended in 1976, and was followed immediately (simultaneously, it has been suggested) by a relationship and marriage, in 1978, to French composer, Jean-Michel Jarre, whom she met at a party in St. Tropez. They had a son, David, together, and Charlotte raised Jarre’s daughter, Emilie, in the two decades that they were together. Fashion followed Charlotte, a seemingly effortless icon. She has been draped, photographed, and adored by Yves St. Laurent, Helmut Newton, and scores of others, and has graced red carpets in everything from Loft to Hermès and all in between. Charlotte once stated, “Fashion is not trivial... fashion is about us—how we look and present ourselves... You can dress up to be quite glorious creatures—it’s all a very important part of life,” Lynn Yaeger wrote in Vogue: “If you had a Euro for every vintage snap of her gracing an inspira-

nance among my friends), Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories (he called her “the perfect woman”), and The Verdict (as the alcoholic woman Paul Newman should not have fallen in love with), and Spy Games (“I did that movie so I could kiss Robert Redford”). The ’90s saw Charlotte slip into a depression and out of the camera’s sight. She told The Guardian, “It’s the reverse of you, the depression. You start from zero, because you’re just dead to the world…your desire for anything, everything, goes. You’ve got to build yourself up again.” And build herself up again she needed to do. After learning, from a tabloid, that her husband, Jean-Michel, was having multiple affairs, she suffered a full-on nervous breakdown. The silver lining is that that seems to have been the last straw, and up from the ashes she soon rose. The director Francois Ozon is credited with her triumphant return to cinema, first in Under the Sand, then, in 2003, in The Swimming Pool, where she got her mojo back, was praised for her acting, and lost her skivvies, like the good old days. She even played a character, Sarah Morton, in tribute to her sister, acknowledging her passing in a way she hadn’t before and signaling her re-emergence. The Telegraph’s John Hissock wrote, “At 57, Charlotte Rampling has not lost the ability to shock.” She told him, “I don’t mind nudity. I’ve never really been shy of that. It’s a form of expression and it depends on how I want to go with that expression. In the swimming pool scenes, I said to Francois, ‘Hey, I think it would be really ugly to show me bouncing around, because Ludivine [her co-star] is going to be doing a lot of that and she has a lovely, sexy, young body. And even though I have a reasonable body, I don’t think it’s going to be that interesting for spectators. I said, you can do everything, but I will not move.” The dark tides had turned for Charlotte…almost. Her career came back at a steady beat. She met Jean Noël Tassez,

a French telecommunications executive and journalist, and was engaged to him from 1998 until his death in 2015. Her health and career remained strong, though, and age was not an issue: She told The Hollywood Reporter: “You become more and more charged with your life and a life that you’re observing. When I was younger, I was actually looking forward to growing older, to have more insight, more understanding. I’m much more tolerant with others and myself. I’m not angry so much.” She appeared in Broadchurch with Olivia Coleman, to whom she would soon lose the Oscar, gracefully. She told The Guardian, “Boy, does she deserve it, she’s the real deal.” She had a regular role in Showtime’s Dexter and holed up in the Chateau Marmont, as it was the closest thing to Europe in Hollywood, not her favorite city. She was happier to film Red Sparrow with Jennifer Lawrence, in Budapest, then joined her, Viola, Cate, Lupita, Brie, Helen, and an impressive collection of the most important actresses of the day on the cover of Vanity Fair’s 2016 Hollywood edition. Her most-awarded performance was in Andrew Haigh’s 45 Years, an emotional tour de force that showed how very old romances change lives…45 years later. She was nominated for an Oscar, and for a Cesar, The Volpe Cup (for Hannah), The French Legion of Honor and The Lifetime Achievement Award from The European Film Awards. It seems that Lifetime Award may have been premature. She is now filming a “secret” Danish TV series—“a different, really chilling story. You know I need the thrill of difference,” she told The Guardian, Benedetta, an erotic bio-pic set in a convent (yes, you continue to startle us, Charlotte), and the adaptation of Dune with Timothée Chalamet, in which she will play the Reverend Mother Mohiam, whom The Hollywood Reporter says is “the Emperor’s truthsayer, a person who can suss out lies and manipulate people’s emotional states.” Would we expect anything less? u

Frogmore Estate has been in the family for centuries. British royalty has inhabited this house from King George III to Queen Victoria. Just a half-mile from Windsor Castle, George wanted it for his daughters to protect them. They, in turn, called it “the nunnery.” (The young Sussexes live in nearby Frogmore Cottage). At larger Frogmore House, Queen Mary’s rooms are kept just as they were, with mother of pearl inlaid furniture. Many rooms feel homey and comfortable, some even downright cozy. Notable is the big bright Bow Room, which was the family sitting room, kept as it was during Queen

The revered and prolific fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld died this past February, leaving a legacy through his work: his fashion, certainly—and also the creative and dramatic shows in which he put those fashions on display. He made rocket ships complete with “blast-off”; he transformed Le Grand Palais into a Provençal villa, a giant Parisian brasserie, an autumn wood with real leaves blanketing the ground, an ersatz grotto with hundred-foot-high waterfalls cascading over the side of a cliff into a pool below, a tropical paradise with actual waves lapping against actual sand. Among the fashion cognoscenti, Lagerfeld and Chanel were equally renowned for their shows—and their ability to fully transport their guests to a fantasy world—as for their designs.

I’d just arrived at the Paradise Club, a collaboration between Studio 54’s Ian Schrager and Brooklyn’s House of Yes. Studio 54 is, of course, the nightclub where the rich, famous, and beautiful spent the late ’70s and early ’80s being fabulous and indulging in mild debauchery. House of Yes could be loosely considered its modern-day equivalent, albeit with a more egalitarian, less celeb-centric door policy: The Brooklyn-based nightlife collective is housed in a former warehouse in Bushwick, where patrons get glittered up to dance to DJs while performers writhe on platforms and aerial acrobats clad in little more than bespangled lingerie twirl on hoops or silks suspended over the dance floor. Schrager entered the hotel industry after his Studio days, and the Paradise Club is housed within the Times Square property of his Edition chain of hotels.

One of 12 Gilded Age mansions that remain in the Berkshires today, Blantyre serves as a memento of a long-past era.

ed Age mansions are more synonymous with Newport today, the Berkshires were an equally popular destination for America’s wealthiest families of the time, like the Vanderbilts, to build their second-home escapes from New York and Boston. With estates every bit as luxe as those in Newport, the Berkshires offered a more private getaway, rich with culture, nature, and fun-filled activities that could be enjoyed well into the later seasons. After being purchased by real estate investor Linda Law in 2016, Blantyre recently reopened after undergoing a multi-million-dollar renovation that updated the guest rooms with modern designs, amenities, and conveniences, while maintaining the resort’s traditional grandeur—all important pieces of furniture, art, and fixtures from the turn of the century were preserved.

This main complex also houses the resort’s outstanding farm-to-table restaurant, The Conservatory, as well as a cozy bar and lounge area, a large wine cellar, and the new Dom Pérignon salon, the only one of its kind in the country. The hotel’s recent updates added a cozy speakeasy-inspired space, La Cave, underground, as well as an outdoor space suitable for lingering during warm weather. There’s also the Music Room—where piano melodies played by Karèn Tchougourian can be enjoyed each evening. It’s an ideal stop for post-dinner drinks or dessert, and the perfect setting to get lost in daydreams while spending hours listening to tranquil tunes and wondering about the property’s storied past—imagining the many Gatsby-like parties that might have occurred in that very room. Elsewhere on the property you’ll find the Carriage House with large suites, four cottages, a heated pool and spa, croquet lawns, and tennis courts. A luxury house car also awaits to transport you to nearby attractions such as the Norman Rockwell Museum, notable golf courses, or popular music venue Tanglewood, which offers spectacular concerts during the warmer months. Just a three-hour drive from Manhattan or a roughly onehour flight using Wings Air Helicopter service from Westchester County Airport directly to the hotel’s property, Blantyre serves as a convenient weekend country getaway for the cultured traveler. A nod to the past while keeping up with the present, the stately resort will amaze you with its notable history.

Fall 2019 Haute Couture collections hit the runways in Paris this summer, and the level of swoon-worthiness failed to disappoint. From extravagant, unprecedented, and over-the-top layers of taffeta, sweeping organza, and tiers of feathers— to the cleanest, crispest, and most subtly defined lines ever to be revealed in fashion— all hand-sewn and assembled with extraordinary attention to detail, the most noteworthy Couture creations always manage to bring fantasy into the realm of reality.

Beloved by the likes of Meghan Markle (she wore Ralph & Russo for her official engagement photo) and Angelina Jolie, the brand remains the only British fashion house to hold the official “Couture” accreditation. For their Fall 2019 Haute Couture show, Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo constructed a 90-meter runway through the British Embassy’s gardens to present their Art Deco–inspired collection. Two ushers in tuxedos opened terrace doors to reveal a sparkling lineup of winter-white looks embellished with rows of pearls, crystal flowers outlined in mink, ostrich-feathers, and intricate pearl bead-work. Following the white procession came a sampling of sherbert-hued sixties-style minidresses (most notably a mod turqoise shift embellished with contrasting crystals) and flowing pastel gowns. The show wrapped with a transition into bold color marked by vivid shades of red, magenta, and stark black and white emerging down the runway, with a bride finishing the show (per usual). We expect many of the collection’s showstoppers will likely appear at upcoming fall galas and awards shows. FA L L 2 0 1 9 /

However, her first couture collection for the house seemed to veer away from her forerunner’s vision, with minimalist looks that were notably more conservative and pared back. The silhouettes of her designs were leaner and cleaner, with sparse accessories (no strands of pearls or shiny logo chains that had become par for the brand). Staged beneath the soaring dome of the Grand Palais, in an elaborately constructed, circular library, Viard’s models walked among the literary works wearing patent flats, spectacles, and hair tied back into prim ponytails. Looks included long-line tweed dresses, traditional skirt suits, and wide-legged trousers in the same Thirties style worn by the house’s founder, Gabrielle Chanel. Before the show, Viard divulged “I dreamed about a woman with nonchalant elegance and a fluid and free silhouette, everything I like about the Chanel allure.”

> Givenchy Although relatively new to couture with only three previous couture collections under her belt, artistic director Clare Waight Keller’s Fall 2019 Couture assemblage revealed that she’s quickly evolving into a master of the art. That could be chalked up the extensive ready-to-wear experience she enjoyed prior to her two years at Givenchy—however, couture is different. Becoming immersed in its craft—appreciating its artistry and comprehending its possibilities—changes the way one perceives fashion. Without abandoning her past penchant for smart and elegant tailoring, Waight Keller brought fantasy and glamour to life in the form of dreamy feathered gowns fashioned in shades of mint green and winter white, sweeping taffeta dresses in bubble gum pink and black, exquisitely constructed mermaid silhouettes, and billowing tunic capes. Backstage before the show, which took place at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, part of the Louvre complex, the designer explained her process: “I wanted to kind of step it up a notch for myself,” she said. “I wanted to push it into something that has a little more theater.” And step it up she did, cleverly uniting two components that make couture so compelling: the element of fantasy and indulgence in even the most sensational of whims. u

Capricorn Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 Beware the web. The interesting content you find online will be stolen and posted to social media, without even a hint of appreciation. Also, don’t fully read personal emails that have no effect on your professional life. They will only distract you from the work at hand. > Elvis Presley: January 8, 1935

Cancer June 21 to July 22

Aquarius Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

Leo July 23 to Aug. 23

A shaman may stop you outside of a restaurant like Bar Boulud and say that your aura hit her like an electric shock. Take her comment as a compliment, because what’s wrong with being an old soul in a young body? The stars say: Absolutely nothing. > Clark Gable: February 1, 1901

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players,” wrote William Shakespeare. But what did he mean? You’ve been served some “players,” but that’s not to say there aren’t honest—and great—people in the mix. You don’t always deserve what you get. > Jackie Kennedy: July 28, 1929

Pisces Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 There are things that you want and, by gosh, you’re going to get them—whether it’s a summer (OK, fall) bod or a promotion at work. There’s nothing that a combination of ambition, consideration, and talent can’t accomplish... So, go you! > Elizabeth Taylor: February 27, 1932

Virgo Aug. 24 to Sept. 22 With Jupiter visiting Virgo for the next 12 months, now’s the time for you to shine: Look your best, and not just on social media; work hard, and play later. This is your year, Virgo. You’ve waited 12 years for life to be this good, since the last planet cycle in your favor. > Lauren Bacall: September 16, 1924

Aries Mar. 21 to Apr. 19 The season is filled with cocktail parties and family gatherings, which can be tricky to navigate without a plus-one. Looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend to warm your winter? Consider every day an opportunity to impress someone new. Happy hunting! > Doris Day: April 3, 1924

Libra Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 September will make you anxious. October will make you older, so Happy Birthday. In November, Christmas lights go up and, also, Thanksgiving. December, eggnog lattés (not pumpkin spice lattés). Everything comes out in the balance—we promise. > Matt Damon: October 8, 1970

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 Be careful this season as temptation will abound as the sun sets earlier and earlier each day. Quiet and sneaky strategy is your strong suit, but make sure your friends see you as a loving house cat and not a witch’s minion this Halloween. That would be spooky. > Audrey Hepburn: May 4, 1929

Scorpio Oct. 23 to Nov. 21 “Lips that taste of tears, they say, Are the best for kissing,” wrote Dorothy Parker. And you, dear Scorpio, are aware of the power of emotion when it comes to seducing or, well, scaring. Control your actions this season, in spite of the behavior of those around you. > Vivien Leigh: November 5, 1913

Gemini May 21 to June 20

Sagittarius Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Sometimes twinning isn’t the same as winning, Gemini. After a recent success, you’ve been feeling invincible. But you’re not a god, so come back down to earth from Mount Olympus. Your coworkers and friends are finding your hubris very, very tedious. > Judy Garland: June 10, 1922

Long walks in the orchard are the new long walks on the beach. Plan an afternoon of apple picking with a friend or two to be reminded of the simple things in life. Sometimes, they’re the sweetest—especially when they’re baked into a pie. Mmm... > Jane Fonda: December 21, 1937

As the warm weather begins to dwindle, use it as an excuse to stay inside and refocus your creative energy. Make a push to develop your projects before the New Year arrives to mock you with false resolutions. You will separate public frivolities from private inner development. > Meryl Streep: June 22, 1949
