All Signs
On Sunday the 18th, we can expect the unexpected. On this day at 5:13 p.m. PST (8:13 p.m. EST and 9:33 pm in Newfoundland) when the big hand is just past two and the little hand is at five -- Mercury, ruler of everyday events, communications and ground transportation makes a harsh aspect to Uranus ruler of electricity, computers and unpredictable events. Power failures, computer crashes, technological glitches, misunderstandings, verbal explosions, arguments, accidents and breakages are likely to occur. Probably at any time in the day-- no matter where the little hand is. Where I live, the power goes out a lot. I'm going to make sure I have oil in the lamps and plenty of dark chocolate on hand. Mix is nice too - nuts or tonic.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
With the Sun at high noon in your chart now, you're high viz! I figure it's your hat. After all, you like to wear sunglasses and hats; and it's winter now, so many of you have donned your gay apparel! (Regardless of sexual preferences.) Surprising news from foreign countries is possible. You'll wake up one morning, watch the boob tube and think, "What will the foreigners do next?" Educational plans might take an unexpected turn. ("Left! Left! They're going left!") However, it's a sociable month with much to-ing and fro-ing. Do be careful about being overserved. Enjoy frolicking with friends but keep cab fare handy.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Did you know that your sign goes on vacation more than other signs? This is because you like predictability and a steady rhythm at home. You don't like things bouncing off the walls. Therefore, you go on vacation to have a wild and crazy time knowing that everything is just as you left it at home. (Not applicable where teenagers apply.) This month you're desperate for stimulation and adventure! You want to travel and explore the world. You want culture and education. You at least want marmalade from Scotland. You need to feel you're swinging with the times. Life is in session and you want to be present.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Because you're interested in so many things, you skim the dust jackets of books (who has time to read between the covers?) This month however, you want more than superficial details. You want to taste life right down to its passionate nitty-gritty. (Gestures of breast beating here.) You want to get to the bottom of deep, meaningful truths. Like why you can't hold two watermelons under one arm? That would be so handy! At a more mundane level (is that how your week starts? Mundane, Tuesday, Wednesday?) expect to be involved with taxes, and debt, insurance matters and other people's possessions. You've got some business to sort out here. Upsetting conversations with partners might prompt all this. Hmmm.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The Sun is now directly opposite your sign. Because the Sun is the giver of energy; and it rules your heart; and metaphorically speaking it is the farthest away from you that it gets all year -- this means you're tired! (My dogs are killing me.) Don't push yourself. Take it easy. Turn your attention to close friendships and partnerships. This is the best time all year to study your closest relationships. (The lighting is right.) Naturally, it's hard to hide because it's a busy season, especially in the kitchen, where you shine. However, it's important to know which people really matter to you. (You can't fit everyone in the ark.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You want to be able to do it all! You're making lists. You're cleaning, reorganizing, redecorating, painting, sorting out, shopping, putting things on walls, and going through closets. Essentially, you want to be better organized and wonderfully productive. Of course, the bottom line is you want to be happy. And it appears that if you can be more organized, hence less harried and stressed, ergo - you're happier. There is logic to this. Less popularity and less busy-ness promote greater peace of mind. However, what you're really striving for is a well-oiled, smooth running situation, where others admire your mind-boggling competence! Dahling - how do you do it all?
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Tra la tra la, it is to laugh. The month ahead is full of creative opportunities, pleasant times with children, saucy flirtations, chances to dress-up, vacations and getaways, plus the theatre, sports and the arts. In a word, you want to play! According to Thoreau, the one who is richest is the one whose pleasures are the cheapest. And Faith Popcorn predicted that as pocketbooks tighten, our luxuries would be little ones. Instead of trips to Hawaii, people will pamper themselves with designer coffee and pedicures. What will you do for yourself or your family this month to feel special? This is definitely the time to do it -- whatever it is. (If it fits -- buy two.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You're consumed with all things domestic this month. Small wonder! You enjoy window-shopping, checking out boutiques and meeting friends for lunch or coffee. You're a schmoozer and you like pretty. This is the time of year when mind-boggling goodies are for sale in velvet, linen, burgundy, and metallic gold. You love creating beautiful digs for yourself and family. And you like to entertain! Time spent with parents is important this month. Family discussions take place. However, a disruption to your routine will happen: glitches to ground transportation, telephones or computers on the fritz, or surprise dealings with siblings are likely. This is nothing you can't handle with a little eggnog and rum. (Don't forget nutmeg.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is an extremely busy time of year. Expect increased involvement with siblings, relatives and neighbours. Short trips, shopping, negotiations, and mucho conversations with everyone keep you hopping. Unexpected expenditures and surprises to your cash flow might prompt some of this increased activity. Be patient with partners. Mars is still opposite your sign until February. (Remember: A smile is the same in every language.) Also remember: it's easy for you to be diplomatic and generous with others now because lucky Jupiter is in your sign! (Did you want fries with that?)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In the next 4-6 weeks, you're focused on money, earnings, and how you're spending your hard-earned cash. Many of you are wondering about changing jobs or how to earn more money. (You're great at dreaming up get-rich-quick schemes.) You've got a few ideas now, and you're ready to run them up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes. You might also be thinking of an exciting, major purchase. (You certainly identify with some of your possessions more than usual now.) But if you think about it, and strip away a few layers of the onion - you'll see that the bottom line is: what really matters? You're a philosophical sign. You don't want to be waiting at the train station when your ship comes in.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The Sun is in your sign now for the next four weeks. This means it's your turn to recharge your batteries for the next year. It's time to replenish, restore and rejuvenate yourself! Don't hesitate to put yourself first. Buy yourself goodies. Go out and have fun; and yet, get extra rest. This is not being selfish. You have to refuel as at were, so you have something to give to others for the rest of the year! Fortunately, people and opportunities are drawn to you now. (Get ready for a popular year ahead!) Enjoy shopping for pretty things this month. Take time for movies, the theatre, sports, parties and pleasurable activities. Don't forget your sex life. (I thought you had it when you came in.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
In order to protect your sanity and your peace of mind, try to get more rest. This is the time when you need to work behind the scenes, lie in the weeds, and let everyone else run around in circles. After all, somebody has to observe and take notes. You'll enjoy time spent at home, especially if you have increased solitude. Try to hide somewhere. Hunker down with some good books or videogames. You can't be all things to all people all the time. In a few weeks, you'll be out there wearing your colours. But until then, keep your head down and your powder dry. Concentrate on what is most important. You have wonderful career opportunities in the year ahead. (Would I kid you?)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're extremely popular right now. Everyone wants to see your face. (Gasp) Yes, the pace is tiring. But you have to please your public! Get out there and schmooze. Accept all invitations. Call up friends and pals. Attend meetings with clubs and organizations. Talk to VIPs, bosses and parents. Nothing is casual right now; everything is profound. Sometimes life is that way. It's been go, go, go for months now; and it won't stop until late February early March. You can't fight it. Pop vitamins. Get as much sleep as you can. Don't panic. In the last analysis, you are only dealing with the present moment again and again and again. (Oops - here comes another one.)
