TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) This is not a good time to be more follower than leader as the person you may be following may lead you into some pretty bad trouble...hang out alone for awhile. Evening may bring you a chance encounter that will lift your lagging spirits. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Making good decisions was never the problem with you as you can make some excellent ones, but...making yourself stick to your guns in the face of opposition may cause you to change them.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Career moves you make today will be for the best and you will be able to have your goals within your sights.

Oh marcia ..see 904!!!! No, I don't believe it!!!

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You may be as strong as a bull but this is not a time to put that endurance to the test...get a medical checkup if you are feeling poorly so you can keep that bull like strength intact. Evening may bring a few visitors your way but it is best to explain that you need your rest and will see them another time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A major martial dispute over a child or young person could rock the boat for you and the spouse today. Try a compromising ap- proach to the matter and if that doesn't work, maybe a counselor will help. Keep your mind on the job today as much as possible. CANCER (June 22-July 22) A pending lawsuit or a foreclosure may be giving you headaches today, and the best thing is to either pay up, see a lawyer, or move. It is best to get a solution and act on it, rather than ruining your nerves with a bunch of worries that will do nothing more than gray your hair. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Bed hopping may seem like a lot of fun to you with its cloak and dagger overtones of secretiveness, but sooner than later you will be found out and then you could lose it all. If you are truly out of love, then go your separate ways before you give in to other attractions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) One sure way of putting minor problems in the background, or the trash can, is to remember, and keep telling yourself, that a hundred years from now it probably won't matter anyway ...works for me. Be sure to catch up on all your back work before starting that vacation. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A Scorpio may have you running in circles today but beware... this is a match that is highly unlikely to be beneficial to either one of you, so think this one over carefully before you commit to anything. Take it slow at work today as you do not want to appear too forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You have your eye on a special person today and if this is a Libra you should be cautious about any promises you make or even imply. Your career may be stalled right now, but you should see an increase in position and income in the near future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Travel may be in the works for you today for business or pleasure; maybe even an errand of mercy that takes you to a long time friends house in the next city. Others will find their time taken up with humanitarian activities in your own general area as others look to you for help. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) This is not a good time to take offense to the point of fisticuffs as someone, perhaps you, could be seriously injured with jail time involved. Others will find this is a nervous day for them as they try to hold on to a volatile temper at work. All in all, this is a good day to stay in bed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Sometimes your need to help someone may overcome your sense of justice and fair play as you wind up taking the wrong side, which you erroneously see as being the put upon one. Back up and take a second look! Wouldn't you think a defense- less child would be more 'put upon'? PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your sense of family pride, and love come to the fore as you rush to help one of your own who is in a lot of trouble. Rest assured, you will make the difference and this particular problem may never again see the light of day, which will be due to your quick action.

October 10, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker: I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got. Today, the Moon is still passing through Pisces, a Sign that clashes with Gemini. This may not be a very good day for dealing with the public, with authority figures in general, and, in particular, with any Pisces person who has any power over you. Do your best to hold your own today. It's a good idea to maintain a low profile if you can. Every time the Moon passes through Pisces, it means you're beginning the fourth and final week in your current 28-day lunar cycle. This is a crucial point. Your Gemini goal or resolution for this cycle is being tested. You'll be tempted to give in to pressure. If things are going your way today, Gemini, congratulations for being your own boss. If, however, things aren't going your way, don't be too hard on yourself. Fighting against the odds will only make things worse. Your new lunar cycle begins on October 16. Between now and then, do your best to keep a stiff upper lip. ***thhink I'll hide for the day...

yuck (the AM is pisces)

Poor Wolfie!! I don't think I know any pissies....(however it is spelled =P)

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Skepticism is fine in some cases and at the appropriate mom- ents but today is not one of them if you let being sceptical cause you to close your mind to the possibilities that some- one you consider less than perfect offers you. Home is where the start is. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A party and its planning has you all in a whirl but in order to have a success you will need to get your head on straight and your feet on the ground...Don't worry, you will be a great party giver!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Approaching a matter today with humor and a bubbling laugh on your lips can move mountains for you and you will see oppo- sition to your ideas melt away.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Truth is always stranger than fiction and you need to bear that in mind when you start to think that someones explan- ations are just a bunch of excuses...Stranger. Work may be exhausting for you today and you should take the evening to relax and restore. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) To be a winner you have to act like one but over and above even that is, you have to feel like one! Try your new at- titude out on people you know and see if they don't look at you as if you already had what you wanted. The boss will even perk up today at your self assuredness.

This is a great night for romance as you and your partner take in some of the night spots.

oh marcia, if you only knew!

Oh Wolfie...!! October 13, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) There is a lot of money in your near future but getting it depends on finishing something that you are hard at work on now. Don't let up today even if you are so tired of the subject that you wish you had never heard of it!! Persever- ance counts toward your goals. Taurus (Apr. 21- may 21) The special courses that you have taken on will weigh heavily in your favor when you decide to seek out a position. Family and friends may not be as congenial today as you would wish. A long distance call you make to an acquaintance solves a sticky problem. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Obstacles may get in your way today but you manage to find some 'work arounds' and the day progresses smoothly. A good day to get some student loans started or for hearing some- thing positive from those you already have in. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Someone appreciates your best effort and goes to bat for you. Some people you know may want a lot of the same things that you do but may not be willing to work as hard at getting them, so they could come off as being jealous of your successes... which they are. Leo (July 23-Aug 22) Consider all the propositions before signing anything binding, as they may look good but they may not BE good. Grab your partner and join the nearest Spa as you need a good physical workout and it is more fun with two. Virgo (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Someone you may have met today may seem a little to good to be true, and this may very well be the case. Being sweet is fine as long as the sweetness is not so much that it becomes cloying; these kinds of sweet people are usually phonies who go too far to get themselves accepted. Libra (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Overspending today could be the cause of some marital discord, or an argument with a spouse to be, especially if you are try- ing to save for the wedding. Try to practice what you preach today when giving some much needed advice to a friend or a sibling. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't take a back seat to anyone today as your abilities and ideas are as good or better than most of the others. Stick to your guns on a spending issue; if you can't afford some- thing, don't let yourself be talked into getting it anyway. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A tipster may think he/she has a good thing but no matter how 'hot' they think it is, it is not the thing for you to bet on. Age may play a part in an upcoming decision, your age or some- ones in the family; you will make the right choice. Capricorn (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Being creative is the thing for you today as you do not mind coming up with the shocking or the outrageous in your ideas. You will find yourself on the receiving end of some really good luck today, but not through gambling. Aquarius (Jan. 21.- Feb. 19) You are overrun with job opportunities today as a competitor offers you a job and your company counteroffers with a higher paying position. An investment that you made a while back pays off today, and you receive an unexpected windfall. Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You also have money from unexpected sources in your horoscope today, and a chance at a great new romance for the singles. Try to be as sensible as possible about your relationships as some of them may get out of hand if you try to juggle too many at once.

Whoo Wolfie!!! Time to howl?!

yes let's!

Right with you, m'dear... (wait'll you read the one below!) October 16, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You should spend some quiet time with a good friend today. You might want to keep your feelings to yourself but it's the right time to say how you feel. Get those emotions out in the open and discuss the possibilities. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius While you might not think so, sharing with others is going to help bring you into balance. Just be choosy about who you're actually sharing your time with today. Get ready to have a great revelation about yourself in your travels today. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra There is a great new financial situation coming your way. But get ready, you need to be mature on how to handle this. This is going to help bring your emotional state into balance since you're relieving a financial burden. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A mature woman will be helping you with being creative in your job. You'll feel like you've had a whole new door opened for you. Finally, you'll have a freedom in your job to create the environment you want.

October 16, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your mind is made up but someone who knows you well may be able to change it so be careful you do not make more promises to that person than you will be able to keep. You are quite the philos- opher today and you will find others admiring you for the way you explain things to them. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Expanding your horizons today will enable you to grasp the whole picture and not just small bits of it. You now have an under tanding about the ways and means to use to reach your goals in life and you buckle down to them. An unexpected love interest will take up pursuit today. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Use your head and not your heart in love today as the heart may say one thing but a little forethought could make you see the real picture. Practice tact today in dealing with friends or coworkers, a careless statement could hurt someone very badly. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your social life is buzzing right now and you are flying high with it. Don't forget to touch bases now and then with the real world to keep you grounded at work or school. You need to adopt a progressive approach to problem solving today. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your spiritual connections are very strong today so follow through on what prayer has gained for you. Friends can put some life back into a humdrum existence, especially after something like a divorce. Get out and circulate, you will be back to your old self in no time. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A loved one may be facing a challenge and it is up to you to give the encouragement needed for her to face these challenges head on. Get involved with people you know and try to understand them, this is a good way to turn acquain- tances into friends. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Just because someone thinks you walk on water does not mean that you can create miracles so beware of promising to do the impossible today as failing may make you look bad in a lot of peoples eyes. Be honest with that person by just saying, no. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A smooth day at work with little or no problems. Entertaining a few friends tonight may give you an unexpected lift in the creative ideas department when someone says something out of the blue which hits you with an, "oh, yeah". SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A partner may need you to listen today not give a lot of advice which he or she cannot use. What works for you may not work equally well for someone else. You may have a serious project that is stalled at the moment but you soon overcome the block. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today should go along trouble free if you do not go off on a tangent over some minor matter. Try to stay cool and the evening will find you out enjoying life and having fun rather than sitting home brooding over an imagined slight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You don't mind helping someone to be able to make their own decisions but you rightly dislike being called on to make them for the person as this would bring on responsibility for that person as well as much criticism if your decision happens to miss the mark. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) This should be a day of mall crawling and shopping which you are going to find very exciting due to someone you may meet in the process. A friend may have been trying to borrow money and became angry when you didn't fork over. If this was a friend he/she would not have become angry over what you choose to do with your own money.

October 17, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Cheer up! Things are not as bad as you may think. A long range project actually gets off the ground today but you won't get any positive feedback on it, financial wise, for quite a while to come. Be patient as this endeavor is sure to be a smashing success. Taurus (Apr. 21- may 21) Learning from mistakes is the only teacher a thinking person needs and today you are a keen observer of mistakes someone else has made and you apply them to your own life. Nobody said they had to be your mistakes in order to learn from them. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Set aside some time today to finish a task that has been cry- ing to be done weeks ago. Put your imagination to the test today to come up with more efficient ways of accomplishing your goals. A good social invitation this evening gets a quick response from you. Cancer (June 22-July 22) You may feel your life is filled with problems right now but they could be there because your backbone is a little too stiff and your moods too dark. Try honoring someones wishes or compromising a hard and fast position in order to allev- iate the troubles you think are plaguing you. Leo (July 23-Aug 22) Today you could begin to feel like a new person if you will lighten up and let everyone make their own choices, you don't need to make them all. Go out with a friend this even- ing and let your hair down, reminisce about old days and old ways; share a laugh. Virgo (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The juices are flowing and creativity rules! Small nagging Problems? keep some paper and pencil handy and write them down as they occur, then, at the end of the day, ball them up and throw them away...most small problems find their own solutions without your agonizing over them. Libra (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You are very eloquent today and this helps win those impor- tant people to your way of thinking as you clearly state your position and the advantages such a stance brings. Libras love life is something to envy as the true love and you decide to tie the knot. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) This could be a day of new adventures for you as long as you do not drag along all the baggage from the old ending. Leave old loves and old memories out of your life and strive for an all new set of experiences. There is only one place for the past...and that is in the past. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Attention spent on your personal life, likes and dislikes, and what you personally want to happen for you is not some- thing to be thought of as a waste of time. When you are happy and satisfied everyone around you fares much better; you owe it to them to take care of your own needs. Capricorn (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You have a great faith which you do not compromise for any- thing and friends and family greatly admire you for that. If you are a writer this is a good day to see some recog- nition for your efforts, perhaps even a contract. Be gentle with a child this evening. Aquarius (Jan. 21.- Feb. 19) Someone admires you and is impressed by your attitude and outlook on life. This person may not always show it but the devotion is there. Stay focused on your particular vision of the future and you will be able to overcome your obstacles to success. Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Nature draws you today as she is clothed in all her beauty of reds and golds. This is a good time to take a ride in the country to drink in some of that beauty as you unwind from daily pressures. Evening may find you out with friends having a good time; make it a safe and secure night.

well, i totally ruined everything for today.

I nearly did myself in today, too. Wolfie!!! What is it with us?? Twins! *Hugs, Sweeetie* Oh man, I did not need this one for tomorrow... October 17, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You've been praying for an answer and this is the time for you to get it. Listen to the information you're getting and implement it. The only way things are going to work is if you make it a part of your everyday life. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You've been very hard on yourself lately and alienating yourself from others has been your usual pattern. This needs to stop. Accept yourself for who you are -- others like you just the way you are. Spend more time with a Leo - you'll roar with him! AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You need to focus on a person that is not being who he claims to be. Get below the surface of what he is showing you. You can make a decision whether you want to work with this person or not -- but make sure to probe for answers. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces This would be a great day just to experience a wonderful calmness. Have you gone into nature lately? This would be a good idea to get your thoughts together. Bring two friends so you can enjoy some company while you walk your path.

Who's a Leo around here?

I am!

well, then, maybe that's what it takes to get to the bottom of what's going on around here (marcia, see my email).

October 19, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn This would be a good time to be quiet and look inside for the answers. There are some things from the past that are holding you back. Once you identify them and work on them, you'll be free to soar! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You're going to have to stand up for yourself today so find all the courage inside you and do it. By finally saying what you believe, you're going to receive something of great value and importance. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You've been carrying around an idea about an old situation. Stop. A young man is going to bring out your playful side. Don't worry about what other people think of you -- go with it and have a ball! WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You've learned about a situation that has shaken your confidence. It's okay. This will pass and you'll come out on top. Don't let your emotions get the best of you. Breathe and calm yourself -- it will all blow over.

October 19, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Unusual experiences seem threatening today, but only because they shake you out of your comfortable routine. Are you getting a wake-up call to move on to your destiny? Awaken to your life's higher callings. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Listen to your intuition and follow your creativity.

Place the focus on victory, not on aimless busy work or the personal satisfaction of controlling others. LEO (July 23-August 22): You encounter new challenges today, and your own lack of self-confidence is probably the only thing to make you fail. Rise to the occasion; there is always a first time, and this is it. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): You are very energetic today, but your focus is very here-and-now.

Your creativity energizes work and boosts your standing. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): It's a great day for advanc- ing long-term projects and long-range plans. Listen to your dissatisfied inner voice for what's wrong, then start rearrang- ing things to reduce the conflict. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): Place your attention on the long-range benefits of your job. For some, just the job will be something to keep. For others, employment benefits should be explored for maximum coverage. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Your arguments go better if they're not personal but stay on the issues instead. Assert your point of view, but be flexible enough to see through other eyes. Other ideas have value for you. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): The day does not go smoothly today. Things occur in fits and starts, and never as expected. Empty your mind of anxiety and the need to control. Ride the waves as they occur, and be spontaneous. PISCES (February 19-March 20): Your dealings with people can take a hard edge today. Marital and romantic interests can benefit from little assertiveness. An honest attitude about what you want can get you results.

ooooooo...marcia, i got an answer to one of my questions today.

So did I !!!! read your email !!! October 20, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today is going to be very fruitful day for you at work, you'll get a whole lot done and everyone will be very happy with you! Be careful how you spend your time, it will be very easy for you to get sidetracked and waste time. Don't let the jealousies and egos of co-workers make you feel blue, you are above this. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You have the unique ability to spark enthusiasm in those around you, use this talent wisely and the boss will take notice! Your leadership skills are also at a high and you should do some- thing which takes advantage of this. Don't ruffled feathers of a loved one today by saying something really out of line, remember if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Be careful if you have to sign any binding contracts or legal documents today, and avoid making any unnecessary promises or commitments. A very close friend offers use a financial advice today, listened very closely and pick out the minor falls, this will actually be a very good tip once it's refined. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Not a very good day to argue with people, no day really is, but this date is exceptionally bad for arguing or bickering. A loved one is about to go a long trip and are very nervous about it. Everything will turn out all right with the trip and they have no need to worry. Avoid lending money today, especially to relatives, because the likelihood of you not getting it back is high. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Mental pursuits such as crossword puzzles, or solving com- plicated problems at work will be something that you are good at today. Your love life will be looking up provided that you get out of the house and get somewhere public. Take some quality time spent with a loved one or close friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) New opportunities are everywhere today, and you should grad at the good ones and forget the mediocre ones. Important opportunities concerning your business may arise late in the day, and should be addressed immediately. A very good dream will occur tonight and have prophetic influence, but it will be very hard to remember. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Don't believe everything you hear except car horns and train whistles, because most everything else today will not be true. One of your favorite co-workers is about to get in serious trouble at work if you do not do something to help them. Not a very good day to argue with someone you love, you may damage your relationship. Try to find some common ground and work things out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Be careful not to overdo it today, you do not want to stress yourself out because tonight will be a very active night. A very good night tonight for romance, take a loved one out to a dinner and movie. For the single out there get yourself somewhere public and mingle because this is a very good day to meet that special someone. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A great time to make those changes you have been seriously considering at work, but make sure they are subtle changes. Another great day for meeting people and trying the things but you may need to do something to boost your energy level. Try jogging our tennis or maybe even bike riding. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A headache early in the day will actually be a good sign because the rest of the day will be terrific! Do something fun with a loved one, and avoid any arguments with them at all costs. Your loved ones feelings are easily hurt today, not for any particular reason, it's just a cycle they are in. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Today would be a good day to finish up projects and start new ones. Having a high creativity level will benefit you in many ways that will have long term effects. Delay a co-worker from leaving for just five minutes and you will prevent them from getting in a serious auto accident. Don't let your dream to- night depressed you, it's meaning is actually very positive. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Don't be too cynical today at the office, it will have a nega- tive effect if you are. Be sure not to let your imagination get the best of you, there really is no conspiracy at your home. A youngster you are acquainted with is about to exper- iment with dangerous drugs, handle this one very carefully or your intervention will mean nothing.

I made a commitment today. Binding and lifetime. Carefully considered. I am floating!!!

Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker: It is better to have loafed and lost, than never to have loafed at all. We humans are rational animals. We're conscious of ourselves as separate and individual beings. We're also herd animals. We're also aware of ourselves as interdependent and social beings. The Moon is the symbol for our "herd consciousness." The Sign through which the Moon is passing each day describes the mood and the mentality of the herd in general. Today, the Moon is passing through Leo, a Sign that vibrates on the same wavelength with Gemini. This means that your personal vibes are in sync with the "mass consciousness." Each month, when the Moon passes through Leo, people in general are more receptive to the personality and temperament of Gemini. "When you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not." Today it should be easier for you to be "in the zone." It's Saturday, and hopefully, you've got something planned to make it a fun day for you. While you're still in the first week of your new lunar cycle, tell yourself what you want to accomplish by the time it ends on November 11. Your energy is still building. Get ready for the first burst of your new energy on Monday. Take advantage of any opportunity that's staring you in the face. In general, this "Moon in Leo" interval is good for Gemini. Move your feet and have some FUN today.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "That kind of life is most happy which affords us most opportunities of gaining our own self-esteem." - Samuel Johnson Cancer, today the Moon is still in the Sign of Leo. It's the fourth day of your new 28-day lunar cycle that ends on November 13. During each new lunar cycle, Life offers you the time and energy to increase your self-worth and capitalize on whatever talents and resources you possess. All Life asks is that you do YOUR part! Life NEEDS you to PARTICIPATE in the creative process. How? By taking AIM, exercising your WILL, and saying what you WANT! This is how Life works. What is your INTENTION for this current lunar cycle? Be specific! What, specifically, do you want to DO or to HAVE by November 13 when this cycle ends? SAY IT, Cancer! And, say it with FEELING so that Life knows you MEAN it. "The essence of creation is INTENTIONALITY." Your will cannot be done unless you intentionally and unequivocally EXPRESS what you WANT. Today, while the Moon is still passing through the Sign of Leo and still in the Second House of your horoscope, be willing to look at your sense of SELF-WORTH and see if you truly VALUE yourself. Cancer, do you honestly believe you DESERVE to have good things happen in your life? If you don't, Life will not - and cannot - over-ride your decision to de-value yourself. You can only receive as much as you believe you deserve. Let today be the day when you choose to re-enfranchise yourself! Get out of neutral - shift into low gear - and FULL SPEED AHEAD!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: As many arrows, loosed several ways, come to one mark, so may a thousand actions, once afoot, end in one purpose. - Shakespeare Today the Moon is activating your Ninth House, as it does each month when it passes through the Sign of Leo. It's a good day to affirm your belief in the GOODNESS, BEAUTY and TRUTH of Life - not for Life's sake but for YOUR OWN SAKE. Research shows that people who believe that Life is inherently good, beautiful and meaningful are both mentally and physically healthier than people who have a cynical, skeptical attitude toward their existence. So, Sagittarius, if only for today, LET'S HEAR IT FOR LIFE! Make an act of FAITH in your Self. Be willing to believe that you're here for a purpose. Be grateful for having the opportunity to be alive. If something is dampening your spirit, ask your Higher Power for a miracle! What have you got to lose?

Yes, he has a cold and is miserable and at the same time elated. My Taurus special for my son and one other... Taurus (April 21-May 21) Taurus Quote of the Day: It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship. - Norman Vincent Peale The Moon is still passing through Leo, a Sign that is NOT in harmony with Taurus. Be glad it's Saturday! Whenever the Moon passes through Leo, it seems that it requires more effort to get what you want. People in general don't seem to be as sensitive or supportive as you'd like. Remember, Taurus! Today's a turning point in your lunar cycle. You're due to feel a burst of emotional energy that's been building up since your new cycle began. If everything's going fine in your life now, great! You're doing something right! If, however, you feel that things aren't going your way today, don't lost faith! THIS TOO SHALL PASS, probably by tomorrow! Get focused! Tell yourself what you want to happen during this cycle. If you don't feel up to snuff today, take time to pamper yourself!

October 23, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) If you would have true happiness then practice the fine art of giving and the getting will take care of itself.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Tying yourself to a single project for several weeks at a time is self defeating and you will likely miss accomplishing some very positive things when you do this.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) While you are not one to seek out a lot of luxury this is a good day for finding some little something to reward yourself with. You've done a good job so go ahead and enjoy your pri- vate little luxury, whatever you may choose. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Entertaining people today could put you in the right place for the contacts you need to get your ideas rolling and your busi- ness on the ball.

they had to mention virgo again, didn't they?

You won't like this one, either - I hate it! October 30, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn It's time to wrap up that project. Procrastinating is going to get you nowhere. Put down the remote and tackle what you need to do. No one is going to finish the job for you -- no matter how much you plead to them. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius As much as you don't want to listen to your instinct, you know it's right. A good friend has let you down and your angels know it's hurtful. Don't worry -- this will all blow over. Make sure to give you and your friend some breathing room so you can heal. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're not seeing what's right in front of you. You know the answers to your own questions but you seem to think someone else is an "expert." There's not much else the angels can do to show you the way if you're not going to listen. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Today is an especially emotional day for you. Don't get too bogged down by your feelings -- they are going to pass. You are a talented and smart person -- don't let a single situation make you doubt your strength.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You are surrounded today by an atmosphere of ease and security. That is how the world perceives you even if you know a whole different truth. This appearance will allow you to take advan- tage of some breaks that are likely to come your way today... those that have, gets. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Go for the best deals you can get today, drive some hard bar- gains as money is tight and wasting it is not what you are about. This would be a good day to call in the carpet cleaners and let them do their thing to help you get ready for the holidays. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You are filled with energy this morning and you have the work zinging along in no time. Forgive someone today and make a loyal friend for life. Your loved one is ready to go forward with the relationship and start building for the future and the children you planned to have. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Security is your main concern today as poor planning in the past has now come to bear fruit. Learn from your mistakes, as you jump this hurdle make a vow to be more far sighted in the future. Finding a new home is never easy but persever- ance will win out. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone you have been trying to pin down to a yes or no answer tells you what he/she really wants out of life. In this case you might be better off looking for a new love to share your dreams of home and family with. A small accident at work starts you to think. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Exploration of old caves, ghost towns or just antique shops is the thing that will make you happiest today as you are adven- ture bound no matter which one you choose to do. Haunting memo- ries of a past life may be revealed to you in something you run across today. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You are in need of some emotional support and some spiritual healing which you find in the loving expressions of friends and family as you meet and conquer the adversities of life which at this time may seem overwhelming, but they are not. Let your heart reach out for love. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Going on a short trip today to please a loved one is a lucky thing for you to do as you are likely to meet someone who has been waiting for someone with your ideas to come along. Don't hesitate to accept a good offer today, it could make your future. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) This could be a very tense day for you as it starts wrong with a domestic spat before you leave home and goes from there. Try not to lose your cool in the work place as this would not help your standing with the firm. The spat is not likely to amount to more than a disturbing influence in the day. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Your interests may have nothing to do with the way you earn your living today so try to keep your mind on the job and don't go daydreaming about other things. Your home based business should see an increase in business shortly and then there will be light at the end of your tunnel. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Someone in your life today will be obstinate and just a tad bull headed so don't even bother to argue over something you wish to do. If it is sensible and not expensive go ahead and do it then hit him/her with the feat accomplished. Works most of the time; then there is always a compromise that can be made. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Stand your ground today over issues that you firmly believe in and you will see the other side giving way to you. Your patience will be the one thing that most people can't fight against so use it to your advantage. Family and friends stand beside you on this.

The above one is much better...but...children??!! That is surely meant for you. I pass on this option. *grin* However, it was discussed...

no unless they're stepkids or something! *grin*

No spat! Things are going fine.

Great to hear! Never thought about stepkids...! Astrological overview for November: Mercury rights himself, but he does get down to the very last degree of Libra before this happens. Hang on tight, it's the usual mayhem from that corner of the sky. Mars shifts from Virgo to Libra, and Venus swings out of carefree Sagittarius into more serious Capricorn. Sagittarius begins in the later part of the month, too, and that is always a time for celebration -- we always believe that Sagittarius is the ultimate good times sign around here. Curious about your own chart, sample a free reading at the web site, or order up something, charted fresh from your own birth data. Aries : You have one those little tension headaches building this month. It's like there's something there, but you can't quite place a finger on the point that hurts. Mars, maybe Venus, or even the Sun is the cause of this pain. In fact, at one point this month, you're going to be pretty sure that all of the planets are lined up in some sort of grand, unified "thang" to make you miserable. It's not really a case of being miserable, though, because the closer you get to the end of the month, the better it gets. You do have some stuff which needs to be addressed, though, and this looks, for all the world, like romance stuff. Except for one fisherman who likes to kiss his catch, I'm not sure that a proper fishing allegory would really work here. And that guy, as near as I can tell, only kisses his catch when the camera is rolling. It's not like he does it all the time. In the same realm of ideas, you've got something going on in the romance department, and it needs your attention. However, unlike that that one "fishing star" you don't need to kiss your catch when the camera is rolling. In fact, I would strive for just the opposite. Watch out for that telltale blinking red light, and make sure that you know what you're doing before you kiss what you catch. This is brought to you as a friendly service announcement from the love planets. Taurus : Little disruptions rule this month. Not big ones, mind you, although, every little problem is nothing more than a major disaster looking for a way to get out of its small problem box. The trick with handling a month like this is to take it all in stride. Every last one of those Mercury Retrograde warnings will come through. The point to astrology is being forewarned about all this. So that's several warning notices that you've received at this point, deal with it. There are no big, major honking problems this month. There are tons of little misfires. This month is like working on an old truck, much like the one sitting outside my trailer. Replace one part with new pieces, and then another part breaks. This can be heartbreaking work, or it can be a constant state of renewal. Point of view and perspective is important. On this truck, it's the electrical, the cooling system, and the carburetor this month. The in and out stuff. More like the "in" stuff because it got a new muffler last month. There really shouldn't be anything that would strand you by the side of the road this month, but you will spend a little bit more time than usual going back tightening up nuts and bolts that you figured were secure. However, the best choice of material for this month might really be duck tape, Nothing holds all this little stuff together than a couple of turns of duct tape. Gemini : There are two influences I would like to look at. (Gemini, Twins, "double your pleasure," and so forth). Jupiter is retrograde in your sign, and that usually indicates a "slow down" effect on some of your business dealings. Likewise, Mercury is also retrograde and he's also going to have a mischievous effect on your business communications. In some branches if astrology, this would look like a romantic entanglement. Here at the office, though, I'm pretty sure this is business. It's not a big problem, but it is a time when you would certainly benefit from taking a long, hard look at your projections for the month, and making some of those necessary "adjustments" to the projected income and the amount of time necessary to reach the stated goals. Things are going to take longer than you plan -- and it's not really your Gemini fault, but other folks are going to have a tough time understanding why you're in such a big hurry (and apparently getting no where). Of course, in the normal, not accelerated Gemini time, the little planet moves around, and once it gets itself right, there will be a small improvement. By the time Mercury changes directions, around the middle of the month, you're going to notice that there's a gentle upswing in some events which will lead you to think that the holidays are going to be okay. They will. Just don't forget to adjust some of your Gemini market projections towards a more realistic level. Cancer : Once again, we're off on a giant roller coaster ride. Maybe we're off on the "Tilt - a - Whirl" or even the "Spinning Tea Cups." To some, it might appear like this is a time when the gentle Cancer digestive tract is a little upset by the high dosage of Chili Powder and Cayenne in the food. In parts of Texas, the correct application of peppers is an important part of the meal, it is done with a certain holy reverence. However, I would suggest that this is a month when it's a good idea to shy away from the more piquant and delicious varieties of food. Or other things that add a degree of spice to your life. It's not you at all, it's the planets, see, and the one that I am most concerned about its going to be running over you in way that's not exactly nice. Of course, there is an upside to this planet combination of Mars, Libra and you: choices. Carefully look over the dinner menu. Carefully consider what it is that you want to subject your dear Cancer heart to at a time like this. Consider what is important, nutritionally viable, and what is a spice that you can do without. There are some spices which are good for you. Other spices have great metaphysical importances. Some foods are nothing more than fuel -- tasteless, but good for you. So yes, you've got some decisions to make this month. I realize that the bland menu offerings from the planets right now doesn't exactly excite your Cancer taste buds, but the safer selections are the important ones this month. Leo : Leo is far and away the best sign in the zodiac, the most creative, the most artistic, the best looking Fixed Fire Sign. Therein is the problem, too, because this month has a number of little challenges to your world view, the way you see things, and you're going to feel like half this month plunges you into a pit of despair. But like a friendly fire bird rising from the ashes (Phoenix like, if you will) there will be a great day coming, and before the month is up, that burning pit of despair becomes something just the opposite. When a Leo makes a mistake IS NOT a time to laugh. The only time ANYONE should laugh at a Leo is when that Leo tells a joke. Or does an intentional pratfall. But part of this month, you're going to feel like people are laughing at you, and it's not something you did on purpose. Bear with me, my fine Leo companion, guess what? Before the end of the month, I promise, verily, I say unto thy Mighty Leo self: you will get the last laugh. (I learned a long time ago, never, ever cross a Leo.) Virgo : Relief comes in many forms. To some kind Virgo souls, it will be the fact that Mercury does get straightened up. For other nice Virgo's, it's another influence, equally nice. But there is a small problem, as the traditional American holiday time approaches, there's a sense of foreboding, an underlying tension with the last weeks of November. Best solution? I have to delve deep into my own experiences to suggest the best use of this time, and I can only hope that it translates across borders. The holiday is called Thanksgiving (coincidentally, a frequent important birthday around here as well). It's a time when American's celebrate something and the folks in England pretty well ignore it. Business as usual on the other side of the pond. Now, the best place to be, if you're of American decent, is across the pond. Avoid the crush of the holiday mess. Avoid the traditions. Enjoy a place that is relatively tranquil and peaceful at his time. I've done it before, and it's the best use of the vacation time. The United Kingdom isn't crowed, and you don't have to suffer with family and friends over some dead bird carcass. Makes it ever so much more enjoyable,peaceful, and restful. So for the upcoming holiday madness, get away. You'll thank me next month. Libra : Mars is a planet that fills us full of activity. For the past month or so, he's been floating around in the sign that comes before you. In this kind of an action, he's not really in a good place for you. Shortly after the month of November starts, though, he comes barreling into Libra. And this is going to set up a time when activity, especially physical activity, seems to take the first priority. Get out. circulate. Whatever you do, don't spend time at home, sitting in front of the television set. It reminds me of a time of dark depression in my life when I spent hours arguing with talk show hosts. Of course, since they were on the screen, I seriously doubt that anyone ever heard besides the guy who lives in the trailer next to mine. There's no reason the argue with something or somebody who isn't listening. Anything is better than sitting inside and pandering to passive entertainment. Mars gives you a full schedule, so get out and make the most of it. The end of the month has a bizarre little twist to it, as well, so know that you presence is going to be required at some point. Scorpio : Mercury will be with you almost all month long. He does drop off into Libra for a brief, almost stationary time, but then he turns around and starts his forward march. What this means, id that around the middle of the month, he starts to undo all of his mischief. There will be relief, and there will be happiness in Scorpio. Now, there's another influence that I wonder about, and that's Mr. Mars. Remember last time? Well, he's back (almost). As long as Mars is in Libra, I cannot stress enough how you have to be careful. Mars will cause all sorts of things to pop out of your mouth. Nothing is worse than having to go back and say, "I'm sorry, but you were right..." So between Mars and the errant Mercury, watch what you say. There is some delightful ways to put this energy to work for you in a positive way, and when I figure it all out, I'll let you know. Just don't say anything this month without considering ALL of the ramifications of your statements. Sagittarius : I was carefully pursuing the Sagittarius chart for the month, and some people have suggested that I lavish a little too much attention on us (compared to other signs, I suppose). I'm not sure that's true, but I do tend to spin Sagittarius in way that I can understand it, and something that will be useful to me. I was busy teasing some echoes out of the Archer's charts for the month. It's a very tired expression, but -- "the course of true love never did run smooth." More than person has suggested that Sagittarius true love might be best if the person was treated to a road grader, and maybe that would make true love run smooth. I think it's a little bit of a hasty decision, myself. But heavy machinery and true love are the distant, mournful cries in he night as I look at the charts for what the planets are doing. It's not like there's a single, strong influence that can be pointed to. But there's a whole lot of little stuff that starts to add up, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Scorpio, Capricorn, Libra, Aquarius. These are not random numbers and names, but indications that there is something of a romantic revival going on in your life. It's not something that will hit you in the face, but if you're careful this month, you can feel the gentle influence. Capricorn : We have some tough decisions to make this month in the world of the Sea Goat. Get over the little Mercury Retrograde thing, and get over it fast. Of course, the more I suggest that a single, itty bitty planet could be causing you trouble, you are inclined to look at the bigger picture. So save the Mercury Tales for the next time we get together. But do pay strict attention to the Mars things that are going on. He's almost as tricky as Mercury at times, and as long as he's in Libra, where he spends most of this month, he's a sure source of some consternation. Between these two planets whose names begin with "M," you've got your astrological hands full. There are, of course, some other influences, but I'd pay attention to the details of these two. Mars is suggesting that you either fish or cut bait. That's the polite term. And Mercury is suggesting that you stop and think about it first. The first half of the month, I would listen to Mercury more than anything else. That means think about a course of action. In fact, I would draw up a plan on a chalkboard or scrap paper. Be prepared to revise the plan because there's a good chance it will change before you get to implement this great idea. By the second half of the month, though, get ready to swing into action and keep that set of plans nearby. You're going to making a a lot of last minute changes. Doesn't mean it's bad, just means the normal and ordered process needs to be adjusted during run time. Aquarius : This month is going to start with s sudden little dosage of a thing that is often referred to as "reality." That's going to make you pretty uncomfortable. My long and rather tenuous connection with this thing called "reality" is documented is elsewhere. At some point, you'll find that we do both enjoy a different way of viewing some of the recent events. The so-called "real world" is going to try and insert itself into your world view at the beginning of the month. You can't ignore it, although, I've found that's sometimes an effective solution -- ignore it long enough, and it'll go away. Regrettably, I don't figure that little ruse will work this month. Whatever "it" is, "it" is here to stay. Now, there's also some good news. That reality stuff which so inconveniently inserted itself into your world at the beginning of the month is going to find a happy medium, maybe even a a happy large, and that's where you find a solution to the problem. The difficult part of this task is fast talk in between the problem at the beginning of the month and the solution at the end of the month. That, my fine Aquarius friend, that's up to you. Pisces : Very early on, in the beginning of the month, there's a shift in a particular planet, and this should bring a degree of relief to most of the Pisces I know. In fact, not that I'm thinking about particular person (but you know who you are), this is a good thing for you. Mars shifts out of Virgo and traipses right on into Libra. This works rather well for the favorite fishes. Of course, the effect of this sudden transition might seem a little abrupt, but you get the idea. It's going to work well for you, one way or another. Mars energy has to be handled with a degree of caution, and that's what this month's advice is all about. It's like handling something with a really sharp cutting edge, a filet knife comes to mind, and the fact that opening up fish to remove the less important parts (not used in cooking) is not something that should be done without degree of care. So whether you're opening up a fish this month, or you're opening up the viscera of a particular person with your razor sharp tongue, be careful. I was tempted to use the the very British epithet, "bloody careful" but that carries the metaphor too far. But do exercise caution, you get a degree of relief, but that's no reason to skewer anyone else.

Oh Wolfie...two rotten months ?! His is not much better than mine, either.

no, this month will be better, things just won't move fast enough for us twins!

Does anything ever move fast enough for us (with the exception of when we are lost in exquisite feelings...*sigh*)?! Yeah, I think despite October's gloomy prognostications, it was momentous for both of us...*hugs*

I am happier than I can say that we emerged from October intact. Interesting stuff today Wolfie. Meetcha back of the barn to talk...
