Cancer's for WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY 27 Follow an enchanting friend to a gathering despite your intolerance for small talk. If anyone there can stimulate your intellect, you'll find that person. Your social grace may remind an inattentive mate that you've got other options. Eviscerate your regret for a missed opportunity by pursuing it. Overspending could create another headache. Prevent additional stress.

Gemini, 1 Mar 99 You may not know if you're coming or going today. And if you don't set priorities early, you're almost certain to be doing the one when you should be doing the other. Everybody's got an opinion about how things should be done. You can listen, but make your own choices. the first part was true. this day flew by. oh, and now that i read more, the whole thing was true. i felt like i was being pulled in too many directions and got a ton of advice on how to lose weight.

cancer's for MONDAY, MARCH 1 Plan an exotic excursion with a loved one. A luxury cruise or a Mediterranean vacation would give you plenty to look forward to, though it's more important to repair to a place of peace and privacy. A control freak may want you to perform a task in a particular way�-- even though it's not what works best for you. Instead of arguing, agree; then do your own thing. could've used the peace and privacy, but the only control freak around me today was me...

*laugh*

Gemini: 2 Mar 99 Choose a leader who's got the objective clearly in mind. You'll not only be more successful, you'll make your life a lot easier. Your best choice is one who consistently says what you want to hear, and does what he or she says. If you know somebody like that, give this person your support. i know no one like that....guess i'm screwed!

then get yo'self to the proper conference! cancer's for TUESDAY, MARCH 2 Draw up a list of small tasks that, when completed, will make you feel on top of the world. Entertaining at home may be burdensome right now, but you will love the shine that hosting gives you�-- not to mention the afterglow. You'll have more romantic opportunities than usual, so you can afford to be extraordinarily selective. But don't dismiss prospects because of cosmetic flaws; get to know them before ruling them out. ...?!?!?...

cancer's for WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3 This may be the day to seek an exclusive arrangement if it's not premature. Sensitivity to past complaints of being too controlling may discourage you, but if love is rocking and rolling, it's time to take it to the next level. Emotional turmoil reflects growing pains. The key to enjoying adversity is to recognize its humanizing lessons. oh, bother.....

cancer's for THURSDAY, MARCH 4 Memos bring more work, but you're prepared to do it all and to do it well, because you're the taskmaster from heaven. An apprentice needs tutelage, and your eminent efficiency makes you the obvious role model. Just try to be patient. Hold the line against depression by getting out of the house. Shun electronic creature comforts to explore friendship and romance. yeah, right...

Gemini, 4 Mar 99 You are looking very good today, and most likely making a great impression. But again, that could lead to trouble. Looks like everybody wants your time and attention. Instead of picking A or B, a third option that shows up today could be your best choice. yeah right. i have no options. the more you do, the more they give you to do. i doubt impressions of the good kind are being made as it seems i don't have enough to keep myself occupied as it is....

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of March 4, 1999 If you were a cow, it would be prime time to move on to new grazing lands. If you were a monogamy buff, you'd now have temporary permission to let your eyes wander far and wide to find out what you're missing--and what you're not. If you were a journalist, it'd be a perfect moment to stop forcing the raging ambiguity of real life into neatly packaged news-bites. If you were an immortal god-like being who had impulsively taken on a human form as an experiment only to have forgotten your origins, you'd be on the verge of remembering the truth.

*laugh*

cancer's for WEEKEND OF MARCH 6 Be careful not to overextend your helping hand. Reach deep into your heart but not into your pocket, since a troubled soul may need managed care more than money. A lazy, solitary Sunday may provide too much time to fret over woes. Use it instead to discover the heart and mind of a lover. Intimacy is only an embrace away. no comment 'cept, "ain't gonna happen"...

Infoseek Gemini, 6 Mar 99 Conditions are perfect for working with a team on a big project. Know anybody who's putting up a barn? Doesn't look like you'll make much money this weekend, but the contacts and the good impression you can make will be more valuable. Put on a good show - you're being watched! sounds like an "x file" to me....

look everyone, Stacey is writing my horoscopes now! Cancer's for THURSDAY, MARCH 11 You're inclined to reminisce, perhaps because the past seems like a better place. A change of circumstance (and possibly, venue) is overdue. Relocation may sound dreadful because you feel locked in by possessions and partnerships, but agitate the status quo and see what shakes out. Life is too short not to move forward.

woo woo! it's my day job...

Ah...

well... when I'm not working this one! so... gonna take the advice?

*shrug*

cancer's for TUESDAY, MARCH 16 The workday may wear you down enough to make you want to spend the night with sitcoms. But why watch alone? TV land isn't such a waste when you've got a viewing mate. Your willingness to follow the evidence to the truth may prompt an emotional trauma, but it will liberate you in the long run. Reconnect with old friends for a new beginning.

Cancer's for FRIDAY, MARCH 19 You and some old friends will relive good memories and plan for a festive weekend. Happy hour may extend into three, your lucky number. Not doing well with love? It may be due to neglect. Assure a partner that you'll compensate for your absenteeism with special plans for tomorrow or Sunday.

Cancer's George horoscope for the month of March (which, of course, is now over and I apparently missed the whole thing...) Mid-month heralds, "Onward to a more dynamic participation in life." More than "success," art is now at the core of your life. This generates enthusiasm, which provides a much better life fuel than bitterness. Emodying your music, spinning your pots, and dancing your paintings will make you wealthy. Then creative expression gives rise to happy ambition.

"Spinning your pots" - are you a Cancer? Will you stick to cooking?

Eternal questions, Alexander... (yes, I be a Cancerian (well, amongst other things...))

So, do you also do lobsters and crabs? Or do you avoid the totem thing?

contrary to popular belief and some published reports, I have never had sex with any inhabitant (former or current) of the sea...

Oh, excuse my English! I was trying to ask "Kind Sir, do you prepare Frutti di Mare of the Cancer kin, or do you respect your totem and exempt is from being source of culinary exaltation?" I just didn't feel like typing so much.

understood...and no, I cook what I'm told/requested...

I personally refuse to eat scorpions. It would practically be cannibalism, after all.

But would you prepare any, say, for Wer?

I'm afraid that would conflict with my beliefs and my credo in general.

Wow, what a sweet thing to say! Bet it would make our fave Wer blush and giggle like a texan school girl in intermediate! "Guess what, y'all, and then she said I'd conflict with her beliefs and her credo in general! Far out, dude!" ;=}

Ha-ha! I never really pictured Wer as a "Far out, dude!" kind of guy. Sounds more like surfer than bluegrass. Well, Wer, am I right?

for the most part...

I've got WER classified as the reluctant intellectual with a deep, dark romantic side...

Deep dark, he'd agree to right away, I bet. Some other stuff, too, some not. But Wer, how would you phrase this, if you were a Texan schoolgirl of intermediate level? Or a Freshman (haha!)?

instead of Far out, Dude, it would probably be more something along the lines of Can you believe that? It's just, so, creepy! Wanna go by the library after class? (only reluctant because I've been told one too many times to quit being so damned patronizing...well, that and the procrastination)

That and the WHAT?

(Oh, and I would, Wer, they have this rad old Devo record I don't have! I borrow it for a week every month...)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be careful not to overwork yourself to the point of exhaustion. If you get overloaded, there's no shame in seeking help from co-workers to finish a project. The task may be possible, but perhaps your approach is the wrong one. Disregard the negative voices in your head, and instead, listen to other people's ideas. Don't be afraid to start over. The finished product is what is important in the end. No one will remember the hours put in, so it might be advisable to do the best job you can in the shortest amount of time. Don't agonize.

What'd I say? What I say, man! Classic 80/20 rule meets team-players. Just what I say all the time...

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A good day to analyze your emotions. Honesty in a relationship stirs the dust in an exciting little breeze. Communication will also be clear and concise. Words are charged with subtle power. You have carte blanche access and don't need to be invited in by knocking at the door. Cancer enjoys the privilege of unlimited access to the people who are nearest and dearest. Show your appreciation while you're thinking of it. Start a kindhearted exchange and see what comes back to you.

Well, do it!

and this one's for my birthday... CANCER (June 21-July 22):Even well-meaning people can become a nuisance. If you are feeling annoyed, tell everyone to go away and shut the door quietly but firmly. Pampering yourself for a day might make all the difference. Little things will take you far. Stick with the simple and familiar as the world around you grows more complex. If you seem to learn slowly, it's only because you're getting a better grasp on the material. It's okay to retreat. Just because you choose not to participate doesn't mean that you're surrendering. Have the wisdom to steer clear of energy-draining matters that don't concern you.

haapy birthday!!!!!!! err... happy I mean!

I mean, too!

but we love you anyway!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Expect a few orderly, heartwarming days under the Cancer Moon. Your plate is full, but there's enough to share with everyone. Taking care of others brings you delight and satisfaction. Your home is neat as a pin, and you are busy fussing with pillow fluffing and home cooking. Making the time to repaint or redecorate will feel very fulfilling to you. You are at bat for someone who is very close to you, and your support and testimony makes all the difference. Family takes precedence over all else.

sounds like a good one...

the problem is...a good one for what?

Wolf and I are both Gemini. When was your day? Mine's the 31st of May

and this was the 12th's... CANCER (June 21-July 22): Try not to be too fixed in your opinions, but look for other alternatives. Now is a good time for moneymaking activities. Intangibles have their place, but sometimes you need more than just ink on paper. There's no crime in being comfortable, but moderation is the soul of elegance. When attacked in jest, defend yourself with laughter. You may be laughing alone if the joke isn't obvious to anyone else. Your social life is enhanced when you respect unspoken boundaries. A small gesture of kindness can restore someone's faith in you.

My 'scope and Ree's for aujordhui (any other Saggies in the crowd?) Sagittarius You may have some difficulty dealing with others today, Sagittarius, especially a boss or client. Whether or not he knows it, an authority figure is driving you crazy. Try to keep a level head even though inside you're steaming mad. Pay close attention to anything pertaining to finances. Don't rush into anything you aren't sure of. Read between the lines in legal or travel matters. Attention to detail is a must when dealing with contracts of any kind. At the end of the day, relax with a good book or rent a comedy. This is a good day to find something that makes you laugh long and hard. InfoSpace.com Horoscopes (my boss was super nice to me when we got to work this morning, then he took off . . . any suggestions for good comedies?)

Almost any Woody Allen flick. :)

Now that evening is setting in and I've been to work unscathed (actually got a lot done), I built a bookcase wall in my house (14' long), shocked the pool (no moonlight dips tonight), I shall set forth in search of a repast and perhaps a comedy.

My fav is "Zelig"

repast?

The man needs a full tummy to take on Woody Allen!

Never made it to the movies, but the repast at Central Market in the outdoor cafe with music was very fine. It's morning and I just got done vacing the pool to waste and the waters clear and warm for a weekend of fun. I'm glad we have weekends!

weekends...*sigh*

Bon Dipetit!

buona fortuna!

Okole Maluna (bottoms up!)

???? Yeeee-Haaaw!

Sagittarius Your fire burns low today, but an ebb in energy doesn't have to slow down your rich internal life. If the company of others seems abrasive, spend a quite day completing solitary tasks at your desk and a quiet evening alone. If you don't live on your own, you can still get quality time with yourself. Take a long bath and go to bed early with a good book. Since you may not be of much use to anyone else, take some time to figure out what it all means. If you can get away, a leisurely drive or a short trip might be the answer. Sounds like a low key to me.

Sounds like heaven!

Cancer: There's always a little period AFTER a Mercury retrograde that is, at best, a little unsettled. And guess what? You get to feel this one more so than other signs. Not that it has a lot to do with you, but it does. I was in El Paso once, having a cigar after a fine meal of barely charred dead cow parts, and I got this little glint in my eye. Slightly offbeat, slightly mischievous, slightly off center. It was the cigar, I'm sure. You're just like I was that night, only, your buzz from the cigar is going to feel like it lasts all month long. An extra cup of coffee, a mild soporific substance, a little up, a little down, and your head bursting with ideas. Try and pull all this together. I did what I do best in a situation like that, I went back to the motel and watched Xena on the cable TV. It's about all that was on. But there's more than reruns on your cable TV -- you can do a lot more with strange ideas floating through your cranium.

Now if you had been wearing your Tony Lama boots... :)

was wearing my Justin Ropers, actually, when I posted that...not sure what the gentleman was wearing who wrote it... it's my August horoscope from http://www.astrofish.net/

Flavor: Just about any flavor will do, but junk food, or its all-natural equivalent, will get their attention quickest. Grocery store: Gemini is [are] ruled by Mercury. Mercury goes around the Sun every 88 days. Get the picture? Fast moving planet, and most Gemini's tend to be fast moving as well. Imagine a shopping cart with motorized wheels, like a skateboard with an outboard motor on it. The Gemini will flit through the store, looking at everything, but lingering no place in particular. Gemini�s have some mighty strange eating habits. I knew Vegetarian Gemini once, truly a macrobiotic "careful of what you eat, no animal products, nothing with a face� type. What made this person typically Gemini, was, in the heart of "nuts and fruits" (California), this particular Gemini would eat meat. Big, rare, chunks of cow, obviously under done. Now, take this information and go to the grocery store with your Gemini friend. They will look at everything. I mean, everything. Nothing is beyond their intellectual grasp. Music: Gemini's have a strange penchant for the classics. Just about every Gemini I know has some classical music in their collections. I wonder if they really have the attention span necessary to listen to a symphony all the way through, or if they really listen to all that opera. However, this classical stuff will be intermingled with some contemporary material as well. Something with a beat. Trying to narrow down a Gemini's sense of musical taste is a little difficult. However, an upbeat flute solo, or "The flight of the Bumble Bee" really evokes what a Gemini might be all about. Walmart after midnight: One word -- exhausting. A Gemini is "hell-on-wheels" when it comes to going into the super discount late night store. Nothing is safe. They will play with the toys in the children's department, they will take a quick spin through the clothes, maybe try on some shoes, ask questions of the poor late staff people, and keep on going. This place is less of a store and more of a playground. Of course, a Gemini frequently approaches life that way. Brick wall: Gemini is the original adaptable sign of the zodiac. They will tackle this brickwall with a certain zeal and commitment to making sure that the goal is realized, that the wall is breached. However, in typical Gemini fashion, a fixed obstacle that doesn't yield immediately to one of the 43 different efforts by the Gemini soon loses the Gemini's attention. They get bored and wander off in search of other adventures. Of course, they did try more routes to get around that wall than any other sign. One of us might pick up where the Gemini left off and find a good solution. Bait: Gemini: Jointed Minnow -- Nothing works better on the Gemini than a super-long, jointed-minnow. It's pretty much a top water lure, and the Gemini needs some flexibility. So a lure with some flexibility is needed to make the Gemini happy. But unlike the plastic jobs which are way too "flexible," the jointed minnow lure is big enough to present the Gemini with a challenge, and it offers enough rigidity that the Gemini will surely stay hooked. Revenge: The easiest way to get revenge on a Gemini is to be boring. It drives a Gemini insane. Best of all, boring for a Gemini can happen in three minutes or less.

Hello everyone, I just joined, am a VIRGO, and want you, Marcia, to do one for me. It seems that people put their own horoscope for the day down. but, I know me, and think it may be interesting to see an interpretation from another soul. Is that possible?

OK, will do that. Then you must pop over to Geo and say something, please! http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/Geo/all After all, you are into gardens, and that should fit into one of my topics!

First I need to know what sort of horoscope you want - the straight stuff or the off-the-wall stuff from astrofish? Then I will be more than happy to post Virgo for you.

VIRGO Thursday, 29-Jul-1999 00:51:25 CDT You know, I've got to come up with some better musical allusions. I'm doing my best to stay with the younger set. I can't keep make references to music which really shows my age. Or movies that are long out dated and nothing more than a faded memory or a video cassette. So I won't talk about Jaws, or the theme song. However, Venus, who was supposed to be kind to you, has decided to take a minute vacation from her good ways, and stir up a little trouble for you. It's not bad. Well, it's not too bad. She's just doing a retrograde thing which means the romance thing needs to take a little bit of a breather right now. Of course, it's been a weird summer for love, anyway. Styles from long ago have risen from the dead, and with both Venus and Mercury in a tailspin, I would suggest that you have somebody who will appear at your doorstep this week, looking like they still need to be buried again. Imagine a week of "Night of the Living Dead." http://www.astrofish.net/

Cool. Whatever is fine. The last one you wrote, just above my response, is the type that I have in mind. I just looked at astrofish.com a little. I will get back to it (you see the time of night I work). and I promise to go to Geo. thanks

Oh, Marcia.... Venus took a long vacation from me a long time ago. All is need now is to have a 'night of the living dead'. I'm the living dead in that department. ha ha ha

You cannot know how sorry I am about that...I will hunt up a better one for you for today or tomorrow as I have time. The long one about Gemini came from astrofish, but I could not find a long one for Virgo... Where do you live that your nights are later than mine - but perhaps you are wise and do not indulge in this at your place of employment. Since you have been to Geo (I've noted your posting but have not been there yet this early morning) you might know that I live in Hawaii.

GEMINI The Twins may be at a crossroads this year, and you could benefit from some sound Astrological advice. Finding yourself ripe with romantic desires, you are more assertive in this department than you've been in a long while. Whatever (or whomever!) you want is yours, and you are riding on the wave of a very assertive, confident, and powerful spell. Getting what you want and being incredibly direct aren't generally common areas for you to excel in, so you are enjoying this time in the driver's seat. Other things to keep in mind this year include not stepping on everyone's fingers and toes on your climb to the top. Remember that it is the people beneath you who are holding up the pyramid, and to shun them brings you closer to your own failure. When planning travel throughout the year, try to maintain as much flexibility as you can. Itineraries may not go exactly to plan every time, and sometimes tangents and back roads can be the most exiting highlight of a trip. Stay in touch with your surroundings, and don't put too much of a burden on yourself. Remain open to odd suggestions and fleeting opportunities. Everything may not always go your way, but it is unlikely that you will get bored. Fluctuations may occur in your day-to-day cast of characters. There may be some great changes made in the roles of the people who are closest to you, either personally or professionally.

Gemini May 21 - June 21 You may be forced to get along with someone new, or perhaps some long-standing ties will be severed. This is a period of new starts and fresh beginnings for everyone involved. Turning your focus inward and maintaining your own strengths and well-being will prepare you for these new adjustments. In January and February, your friends may become more of a liability than an asset. Other people are demanding more of your time and efforts than you feel comfortable giving. Take these requests in stride and make your feelings known, bluntly but kindly. Time will take care of some situations. Around this same time period you will be experiencing bliss in your career development or current employment status. A raise, a promotion, or increased benefits will fall into your favor. Pat yourself on the back! You deserve it. As the Planets shift around March through June, your perspective on the friends in your life will change. You're feeling more philanthropic in general, and the friends who were once dragging you down are now a great asset to you with their stellar advice and support to help you achieve your goals. Gemini May 21 - June 21 April will really be a time for you to shine, so The Twins had better make the most of it. People are listening to what you have to say, so choose your phrasing and your battles carefully. You are at the center of every social instance, and other people are stunned at your charm and your wit. In the game of life, you are winning, and your energy level is about as high as it can be. Partnerships fall center stage again around September and October. This time, everyone is working out a compromise that is comfortable for all those involved. Mutual growth, development and a stronger closeness are everyone's gifts for learning how to get along. In November and throughout the end of the year, you are riding the crest of love and appreciation for love and humanity. Spirits are high, and you are enjoying yourself and life's offerings immensely. Have a good time, and seize a moment or two to be thankful for the wonderful year and the turn of the new millennium. The year 1999 for Gemini from http://astrology.net/

http://4YourHoroscope.com/Weeklyvirgo.html WEEKLY _ VIRGO Expect to be charmed by someone new at work Monday. Lose the conservative bent on Tuesday: Follow that wild streak that's got you buzzing for excitement. By midweek, you look for new ways to handle routine life tasks. Seek a new way of going about your daily tasks -- Add some spice to your life! Remember that your recent inspiration for a little housecleaning doesn't necessarily mean that others are quite as eager to stir things up in their own lives. Try not to be overly harsh when asked for advice from others. 'Easy does it' should be your motto on Sunday.

that one fits! I do plan to do a little housework, differently and put some spice in my life and people do ask for advice. I look at horoscopes. however, where I look, they usually don't fit or are so vague to me. I live in Chicago and I'm usually up at night. (my days and nights have gotten turned around, but I am trying to reset my clock.) Currently, I do freelance editing or that sort or stuffy -- and writing. are you a geologist?

No, my son is. I would have been one but the math and I did not get along...so I married a University Professor and did research and editing for 25 years. It would help me to know if you are male or female...understanding your horoscope and all that. I have never had any use for them, actually. My background is science back three generations, so it is strange for me to do this. I put that Gemini stuff down because I am like so much of it...it was so funny!

gemini is really a lot of fun, but because we're restless, we can appear moody or superficial. and it's great to know another gemini because feelings don't get hurt when we crave some space! i know two pisces and all i can say about them is they have a strong selfish streak. i'm not saying they're terrible people (my mate is one).

Absolutely...I understand what you are saying. My SO and son are both Taurus. Heads so set in concrete you could build a structure on them...and an ex who is a Cancer. In interest of Harmony and Love and Peace, I shall say no more about that. *grin* but I am not wearing the Alexandrite for my ex!

of course not, it's for you!! my daughter is an aries and i get along beautifully with her. my son is the other gemini (jun 17) and sometimes, we but heads...i dunno..great great kid, though! both of 'em (my little babies growing up so darned fast *sniff*)

Oh Wolfie, I know...I know...*sniff*...but your Gemini will become a man, like my Taurus did and I adore him and he me...it is just a phase!

You know I got lost here somewhere. I guess I started talking over in the other topic and they all begin to run together for me. I am so sorry. My daughter is a Gemini, but I had tried for a Taurus (May 26). she has a lot of Tauras in her though -- the strong headed, tenatiousness, etc. You know, it is a shame, but because I tell myself she is more Taurus, I never found out about Geminis. Is that awful or what?

go back a few postings and read about Gemini's.. I think it is 170 which has all the characteristics of Gemini people.

really need to get a hold of the birthday book. it goes into the different phases of each zodiac sign based on the day of your birth. the character traits are broken down even further. because your daughter is an early gemini, she'll show traits of taurus. the book is pretty big and i found it at sams. it has a blue cover with lots of bright celestial beings on the front (sun, moon, stars, etc.)

ooh...a book...

...a book with Celestial Seasonings on the cover - food for thought?

something like that...

*giggle*

I'm gonna check out your place again there, Marcia, I mustve missed this. I'm a Libra, cusp of Virgo, moon in Cancer, actually a double Libra. I never really paid too much attention to the predictive aspects of astrology but the descriptive are generally so right on the money, with an enormous number of people I've looked up. Anyway, what this means, sports fans, is that I have a bunch of Virgo and Cancer traits. So I read all three in the newspapers. Bound to find something hopeful...

Is there anything better (or is it worse?) than a double Gemini? That is what I am, and though I never had anything to do with this "non-science" topic in real life, it sometimes gets pretty close to what I am really like - more than I would like to admit, actually! Read the newspaper ones until you find the one you like and make it your own. That is the system under which I operate.

Sagittarius Being part of a group means being part of its process. Your input is a valued resource when it comes to making a decision. Problems can be solved without involving members of the legal professions. Just because you take the intellectual high road doesn't make you a stick in the mud. Energize the masses with your brilliance. People who are stalled always appreciate a push to get them going. The Libra Moon brings out your extroverted side. Find a social whirl and leap into the center of the vortex. You never know who you might end up going around with.

what's mine?!??! (ramming my head against Paul's leg...)

Is your sign doggie, ascendent kitty?

Ok, the czarina of woo hoo's scope: Aries September 21, 1999 Friendship and bonding with others is the keyword, Aries. Today you and your friends are the steel magnolias of the bunch; tough, beautiful, and unwilting. Show everyone else how it's done. Be sure to plan accordingly, though, or you may find yourself looking foolish. Even if you feel invincible, be sure to factor human weakness into your plans. If you've been putting off contacting someone you've lost touch with, today is the day to get on the phone or write a letter. This would be a perfect day to plan a reunion with friends you haven't seem for a long time.

wow... wish I woulda had more notice... (THANKS Paul!)
