Planetary aspects of this period are more suitable for the analysis of current trends than the future forecasts. Therefore, we’ll consider one of the new patterns on the fabric: pattern in the form of keys. Despite the fact that we are studying the patterns of development of fashion, depending on the motion of the planets over the past two decades, this topic is still a lot of uncertainties. Three years ago we began a series of articles, which covers all the features of Jupiter through the Zodiac. Now we stayed on Jupiter in Leo. This fire sign is characterized by its colors and its corresponding set of characters. Here are the most important ones: fire, flames, the torch, the circle, the sun, wheel, pea, big cats, etc. But here there is no hint on keys. Where did it come from? And here we come to the aid common astrological knowledge.

In any subject, including, in fashion, Zodiac signs show their symbolism in a pair. If the energy of one sign is activated, the manifestation of the other, the opposite sign is activated simultaneously. This is what we talked in detail in the book by Veronica Tkachenko «The Fashion and Beauty Astrology» (RIPOL-сlassic, 2006), in the chapter «Zodiac: a source of new fashion ideas». The structure of Zodiac is a ring system in which the sequence of the individual steps is predictable in the overall structure. Planetary transits for individual Zodiac signs can be seen as evidence of a certain stage of development, a single segment of generation, which takes its place in relation to the whole cycle. All these findings also extend to the development of fashion. Therefore, we consider the features of Aquarius, the opposite of Leo sign.

Aquarius is air, fixed, male sign, a very controversial by nature. It is a successful combination of character traits such as innocence and insight, freedom and dependence on conventions, contemplative attitude toward life and the desire for revolutionary change, old-fashioned and ultra-modern, outward simplicity and love of impressive. All these manifestations will be reflected in fashion, when transiting Jupiter will be in Aquarius (December 2020-May 2021). According to an ancient astrological tradition, Aquarius is a human sign of the Zodiac. He is portrayed as a man who pours water from a jug to the mill of new knowledge. Novelty is the most characteristic feature associated with this sign. Talisman of Aquarius: icon, portrait, key. Thus, it became clear to the origin of a new textile trend: the key.

In Autumn-Winter 2014/2015 collection by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana huge decorative keys were embroidered on capes, dresses and suits. Apparently, now it is the turn of ready fabrics with this fun print. We hope that manufacturers will be able to promptly respond to new needs arising from the location of the planets.
