today's horoscope

For all you Sag's InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius A sense of unexplained mystery might hover throughout your day. It may or may not be real or easily solved. Ignore it for the moment. Your imagination may not be the most comfortable place to be right now, but it's still more interesting than the alternative. Since you might be feeling slow anyway, think about what your inner voices want to tell you. You may need to request time alone to deal with something you thought you had gotten over a long time ago. Do you need to check in with someone? Act on these feelings tomorrow if you still have them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of January 7, 1999 The ancient Greek word klimax had several meanings. My favorite: a ladder to heaven by which a dreamer's soul arrived at an erotic tryst with a divine being who imparted precious secrets. I bring this up, Cancerian, because I believe the fates will bestow the gift of a klimax on you this week. I hope you'll keep a pen and notebook by your bed so you can scribble down a record of your electrifying rendezvous right after it occurs. I swear it'll become a metaphorical talisman for you, the symbol of a new chapter in your mythic quest for intriguing love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of January 7, 1999 Even if you're not a starving artist, you're on the verge of a coup that every starving artist dreams about. It's the arrival of an X-factor that could help you get funding or hike your ratings or attract a booster. And get this: You may only have to sell out a little bit in order to claim your prize, perhaps not at all. In fact, the deal probably won't come together unless you're at least 90 percent faithful to maintaining your integrity. So make your wares more visible, Sagittarius, but without resorting to vulgar hype or exaggerated claims. With quiet confidence, promote the simple truth about what a miracle you are.

Wow, wer, where are you getting this stuff?

Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of January 14, 1999 I'll confess a deep, dark secret from my own past if you confess one from yours. Me first? OK, In the 1980's I wrote a sexed-up astrology column for Gentleman's Companion, a porn magazine edited by Larry Flynt's wife Althea Flynt. What's worse, I secretly enjoyed it. Now it's your turn, my fellow Cancerian. Find a good, kind listener you can trust with your shame, and share your terrible burden. You'll be amazed at the psychic energy it'll liberate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of January 14, 1999 These days you have an unusually strong talent for spotting vulnerable chinks in the armor of allies and enemies alike. On the other hand, your allies are highly inclined to see the best in you and your enemies are liable to overestimate your strength. So are you going to milk these odd blessings for all they're worth, Sagittarius? No, not unless you're willing to risk one hell of a backlash in a couple weeks. But you can safely milk them for about half of what they're worth.

These are wacky.

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius The reality that you've been eluding finally catches up with you. You may be pleasantly surprised at how palatable it can be. Are you sure you didn't suspect that one of your followers holds a special affection for you? You may not need to make a decision now, but at least you know the possibility exists. Once again you manage to turn a normal day into an exciting journey. The only difference from the last few days is that now you feel more responsible for your actions. If you're already behaving like a saint, so much the better.

And here's Sag's from the local http://www.astrofish.com Kind of a local slant on 'scopes . . . Thursday, 14-Jan-99 07:18:55 CST I was doing my humble duty and hauling the trash out to the back of my truck this morning, and I thought to myself, "Self, this is an excellent metaphor for Sagittarius for this week." Now, what you need to remember this week is to put a tarp over all that trash which is riding around in the back of your truck. You might want to make a detour or two before you get to the dump. And nothing is worse than having all your trash, the stuff you were trying to throw away, get scattered all over the highway. Worse, is finding it on the mythical Main Street. I just worry that my garbage might wind up on Congress Avenue, here in town. So do a little follow up on your trip to the dump, and make sure you don't scatter too much trash before you get there. Some obnoxious person might find your address and then it's a scene from a song, just like "Alice's Restaurant." ... and the grumpy sister down the road in Cedar Creek just called a few days ago to complain about a pizza box in my trash. Jennifer denied it and so did the rest of my room mates.

And from the same site, here's Cancers: Does the term "flame" mean anything to you? I'm not talking about the term "flame" as in searing heat of a BBQ lit flame. No, and I'm not talking about the pejorative use of the term of "flaming" as in respect to a person's apparent sexual orientation, either. Nope, the flame I'm talking about is reserved for a virulent form of written communication, oftentimes referred to as "flame mail." Flames get fanned into a roaring fires, and often as not, over some stupid little idea. So this is a week to be careful with that communication because I know you're right, you know you're right, it's just that third party who seems to be a bit obdurate. Don't fan their flames, if you know what I mean.

so you read XL today too, huh?

Yep, you saw my comments about the Spring being ignored in Gregory's pebbles awards for local websites. Did you write your protest letter yet? Has anyone? In case you forgot, it's: Gregory Kallenberg - gkallenberg@statesman.com This is the one and the same Gregory Kallenberg who once wrote: "If you're looking for the best online gossip and chat in Austin and surrounding areas, you shouldn't miss Spring.net. On his site, you can talk about anything from art to Internet to sex. It's edgy and cool." - Gregory Kallenberg, tech culture column, XL, Austin American Statesman, 8/27/98.

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius All at once, you might lose your sense of humor. An act or a word could hit too close to home, and it is no laughing matter. As long as nothing too serious has happened, you will be yourself again soon enough. If a financial setback, however minor, seems to color everything a shade of gray, try to console yourself by thinking about the other things in your life that matter. The people in your life are determined to get some of your attention even though you think you want to spend the entire weekend moping about money, . As long as the gang doesn't insist on going shopping, you should have a good time. Well, scratch that weekend at Highland Mall off my schedule. Riette, watch out for that gang of shoppers!

yes, Terry, I did...

Thanks! What about the rest of youse!

They change their scopes once a week instead of daily.

HOROGIRL's Horoscopes for 1999 CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20). It may not be the most romantic year of your life, but hey--at least you're not suffering like some of the other signs. News for this week is good for your finances---and how they reflect the real you! You are all set for a huge professional push, and this week gets you going. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 18). This year, You want to go wild---and that seems like a good idea, but be sensitive to a few times throughout the year when that will backfire on you ROYALLY. This week, you are the love-bucket. Fill 'er up! PISCES (February 19 - March 22). You're more focussed on getting work right, rather than love---at least for a pisces. That's your saving grace this year. It's true for the whole year, and never more so than this week. Use the early part of the week to get your support in place, before you do a Garbo, and retreat to your solitude for the real work. ARIES (March 23 - April 20) BE ALL YOU CAN BE---but don't eat all you can eat. Jupiter is in your sign this year, so you'll rock. Jupiter rules everything BIG---so think big, act big, plan big, but be careful with what you eat, or you'll BE big. Sky's the limit---as long as you don't totally piss people off. You've got a choice, be your own egotistical bad self, all by yourself, or work it a little, and make room for someone else's viewpoint in your world view. TAURUS (April 21 - May 22). Hide under a rock. Wait, no, don't hide under a rock. Whatever you do, wear a seatbelt. This could be the year you take off---but what a year it will be! Oh yeah, and--rely on your friends. Don't fight them. You're a lover, not a fighter. Remind yourself of this often, over the course of this next year. You've got a couple of REALLY wild years ahead. This week, your career gets back into the swing. GEMINI (May 23 - June 21). Power struggles, baby. They're exciting, right? Yeah, and life changing, and dangerous. Just bear all that in mind. It's a weird one--year, not week---for you. Lots of work, that may seem to be exactly what you DON'T want to do----and may SEEM to be out of keeping with your plans for yourself, and your ideas about yourself. Don't be so sure. Relationships are big, though,and even if the year is weird, YOU are are at an unusal creative peak. This week is a juicy one, so enjoy. CANCER (June 22 - July 22). Just be glad you're not a Taurus, this year. Money is a big focus this year, so pay close attention to your resources, and how they fit into your plans. Don't lend money to one night stands. In fact, you might not even want to lend money to your husband or wife, this year. Love and money don't mix well for you this year. This week is a good time to start. LEO (July 23 - August 23). One word for the year: ouch. Remind yourself that sometimes it hurts a bit to get a splinter pulled, or some other necessary minor evil cleared, (which frees you up). Big success is definitely available to you---huge success. But there are a few splinters in your butt along the way. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23). You'll probably manage the turmoil and tumult of the year better than most. Bless you. My only warning has to do with love/sex/friendship: Don't make a "brother" or "sister" into a lover, this year. And vice versa. This week, enjoy the love at home AND at work. Its a little creative bliss factory. Time to get to work on things you love! LIBRA (September 24 - October 23). How to balance the need for excitement and dramatic flair, with your long term desires? Some of you will just do it by having the wildest year imaginable. That's one way to avoid answering the tough questions. But the REAL male and female libra mensches out there will do it by having the hottest, most challenging, most rewarding, and most stimulating one-on-one relationship of your life. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 23). Yikes. Watch your temper, and the temper of others about you. That doesn't mean supress it. But whoa. What an explosive year. Be grateful for your true friends. And try not to pick fights with them. That goes for lovers, too. Learn how to fight fair, and then you can fight all you want. This week, it's not really a problem, though, so just enjoy that! SAGITTARIUS (November 24 - December 21). Oh, just go wild this year. Who cares-- it's the last year of the millenium. Keep busy and keep working. It's another crazy year for you---but you're getting used to that, and that's a GOOD thing! This week, you'll mostly have fun, running around like crazy.

Here's mine and Ree Girls.. the Sagfolks. (what are some other signs here besides wers Cancer?) InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius Everyone has a good heart and an open mind today. It could be because your presence makes them feel valued. Or because your words carry the weight of truth and the softness of compassion. You feel safe among strangers you might normally fear. In fact, you wonder why you ever worried about them. All people are filled with the glow of their humanity. Nobody has anything to hide. You might be called upon to make a speech -- whatever you choose to say, you will impress them. An acquaintance feels drawn to deepen your relationship.

Sagittarius Keep your mind and schedule open. Leave blanks to fill in in your little black book and time available to schedule some fun. You are quick to comprehend and apply new ideas. These could be yours from your brain or from the masterful minds of others. Ignore your mother's advice and talk to strangers. Start up a random conversation in order to figure out someone's story, but make sure you have their permission or it could seem a bit strange. Go someplace different and pretend to be someone else.

now that one I like...especially in the context in which it is being presented!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of January 21, 1999 One approach you could take, I suppose, would be to seize the Devil by the nose with red hot tongs and make him promise to never, ever tempt you again. Unfortunately, though that may be effective in the short run, it's likely to result in him seeking revenge at a later date. A better angle, in my opinion, would be to negotiate with the Devil. Tell you'll agree to be thrown into an uproar by certain selected temptations as long as they have the potential to make you wiser, sexier, and funnier.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of January 21, 1999 Today, Sagittarius, wear rags and sprinkle dirt on your head to signify your insignificance and humility. Tomorrow, bedeck yourself with silk and crown yourself with a garland to express your profound diginity and divinity. The next day, combine the adornments of the previous two days and celebrate the raging contradiction that is your life. Maybe then you'll be receptive to my belief that the best way to pursue your dreams is to cultivate a passionate indifference to the question of whether you are an unimportant nobody or a glorious hero.

But, I always wear rags ...

well, sounds like you need some silk ones, as well...

Scorpio here.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) Week of January 21, 1999 A private citizen, James Swann, once paid off the entire national debt of the United States out of the goodness of his heart. It was back in 1796, when the sum was puny compared to today's $5.6 trillion. Still, I think we could approach a similar feat in 1999 if a whole gang of America's top plutocrats pitched in. Now it so happens that this is an excellent time for Scorpios of all stripes to overflow with charitable contributions, whether it be of the financial or emotional kind. Therefore, I call on Scorpios Bill Gates and Ted Turner to get the ball rolling. Pony up $50 billion between you, dudes, and we'll be almost one percent of the way home!

Ugh! My karma is about finances??

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of January 28, 1999 My left brain pontificates, "You're not performing your duties in a manner consistent with the task of becoming a more efficient and useful social unit." But my right brain screams, "Explode the goddamn mold, wild maestro! Bust out of your straitjacket and jam it in the jaws of the neurotic guard dogs! Spit into the winter wind! Moon the wrongfully privileged!" Meanwhile, my north brain coos, "Please carry out your duties in a manner consistent with the task of quietly dismantling the goddarn mold."

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of January 28, 1999 If you're offended by vulgar metaphors, even those designed to shock you into being more ferociously true to yourself, stop reading now. This horoscope contains graphic testimony from a Sagittarius reader. "Years ago," says Janet from Austin, "a therapist told me that eventually I would hear a Big Pop. It would come, he said, when I got my head out of my ass. Now, finally, I think I'm close to fulfilling my shrink's prediction. Why? Because I realize how my beloved Jupiterian expansiveness has hurt me. I see that I'm a great problem-solver for everyone else except myself; I help the whole world but neglect to help poor old me. Tell me I'm ready, Dr. Brezsny. Tell me the Big Pop is imminent." (Dear Janet: It is, for a majority of your tribe.)

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) Week of January 28, 1999 Psychologist James Hillman says images have an uncanny power to hurt or heal. In that spirit, I offer you a dream I had; may it cure your smoldering dementia. In the dream, you're a mad scientist, clad in purple frock coat and orange pants, who has just run out of your laboratory clutching test tubes full of bubbling green liquids. You seem exasperated, at wit's end. You turn your face up and yell in the direction of heaven, though your words sound like gibberish. In response, the giant hand of God reaches down from the clouds to offer you a boon. The fingernails on the divine hand are painted cherry red and there's a blue band-aid partially covering a booboo on the wrist. And the gift? It's a miniature pink ferris wheel with six yellow canaries riding in the cars.

That Sag 'scope is awesome, does that apply to you as well, Ree Ree?

cancer for TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 Priorities change over time, and refusing to review them can leave you trapped in a time warp. Eliminate what's obsolete to make room for the new. You're plenty competent in your career, but your unpopularity with a superior could block your progress. Someone who wants to be kissed where you won't put your lips can be appeased by other means.

I don't even GET mine! I'm sure all that imagery is supposed to be significant...

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius Your job description or your role around the house may not allow much room for flexibility. You don't have to be so boxed in, though, think about what you'd like to change in your immediate environment. If you plan well enough, you can get the wheels spinning in the direction of your choice. You can control your course better than anyone else. You work efficiently, although perhaps without much joy. Could you be diminishing your own accomplishments or not rewarding yourself for a job well done? It would help if you felt your efforts on the job were worth something more than merely a paycheck. What type of work would make you feel good? Answer. Quality assurance in a bikini factory.

Gemini: Wednesday, February 3, 1999 The sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Virgo. You can learn an enormous amount today, possibly through a conversation with a foreigner. It looks like there's some sort of distance involved. Either you're calling long distance, or the person is from far away, or you're actually getting this information in a college setting. That's one of the other possibilities, since travel, foreigners and colleges are all covered by the same area of the chart. At any rate, It looks like the information is there. All you have to do is soak it up. Later, there will be a conflict that's not so easily resolved. Things won't come together, but don't despair. A separation may actually be better for all concerned right now, leading to growth and new insights. On a scale of 0 (most challenging) to 10 (easiest), here are your levels for today: Love: 5 Work: 6 Communications: 7 By Linda Black, Tribune Media Services syndicated columnist. (oh no, they're gonna send me back to the desert!)

maybe the distance thing just involves us here on the Spring, Wolf...

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of February 4, 1999 My dictionary of symbols says that the king's highway is an ancient term that means an undeviating path leading straight to the source. It represents a vigorous and high-minded approach, and in most situations I would recommend it to you. Not now, though. I believe that on your current mission, you would go astray if you took the king's highway. Only a scruffy, winding path will teach you all you need to know to take full advantage of the treasure you'll find at the end of your journey. Let's call this crooked course the trickster's highway.

maybe....could read anything into it, huh? and folks have been pretty scarce around here.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Week of February 4, 1999 I'm sure that at various times in the past, you've had your heart stolen and your mind blown. But have you ever had your mind stolen and your heart blown? Speaking of amazing sensations, you know the funny-bone feeling that's usually localized in your elbow? This week you'll be visited by a psychic, head-to-toe version of it. There's one other boggling sensation in the works, too, but in order to get the full benefits of it, you'll have to make yourself outrageously receptive. Have you ever taken an out-of-body jaunt while you were still more or less awake, giving you glimpses of gorgeous new temptations that ultimately inspire you to rise above your satanic self-denial?

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) Week of February 4, 1999 Joseph Campbell said that in fairy tales, protagonists who drop the reins as they ride their horses are symbolically giving in to instinct. And since I dreamed of you doing exactly that last night, I'm quite concerned. While such a surrender might be healthy at times, it isn't now. You urgently need to go against the flow of your natural patterns and ancient habits. In fact, your creative energies will flourish in March only if you sublimate and transcend like mad during the next two weeks. So please try to correct the problem some night soon: Dream of keeping a firm grip on the reins--or, if you happen to be driving a vehicle, on the steering wheel.

(and back to your bikinis, Terry...) SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of February 4, 1999 Events this week will make a man out of you--if you're a woman. And they'll make a woman out of you if you're a man. I'm exaggerating a little, of course. The transsexual crossover I'm talking about will be happening in the deep dark closet of your psyche. Nevertheless, it won't be a mere abstraction. Your body will undergo actual chemical alterations. And woe be to you, by the way, if you think there's something bizarre about activating more of the qualities of the opposite sex. You now have a very sexy opportunity to become a more complete and attractive human being.

(and yes we have, Wolf...)

that one you posted for gemini sounds pretty interesting.....

doesn't it just! thought you might like it...

ooooo...i can't stand all the tingly sensations..... (good to see you wer!)

I made Wolf ting-gle... (you, too!)

*giggle*

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerians will find this to be a good day for fun and creativity and perhaps for some delicious romance, too -- get ready. Those involved with sales and marketing will get good responses from campaigns and advertising, while all Cancers will have a day in which even the most complicated or difficult message is easily delivered. If you are married or in a committed relationship, either you or your partner may be feeling uncomfortably possessive, which is creating many problems. Try to keep your head down and move on, staying where you are will do no one good.

InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius The range of possibilities is overwhelming. Everywhere you look, there's something else to distract you. If you overindulge your daydreaming, it's going to slow you down. Your mind might wander so far, you could get lost. It's good to dream, but it's better to get your work done and fulfill your responsibilities first. Shift gears and match speed with reality. The world out there is every bit as good as you could imagine. Communication is key to enriching your relationships with those who are close to you. Your art or creative means of expression helps others get to know you and accept you with all your unique facets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have bent over so far backwards for others that you are staring at the ceiling. Just lie there and collect your resources for a long, refreshing moment. Soon it will be time to stand up for yourself. Giving too much will leave you empty, so make a promise to yourself to indulge in something wonderful right now. A tension is being strung between your work life and matters that are important to you on the home front. You must strive to balance the two or the situation will worsen.

will get back to ya'll on that one...

I'm still working on yesterdays.

Riette and Terry's SagScope for today: InfoSpace Horoscopes Sagittarius You come back down to earth after your last round of festivities. Your spirit is still jovial and expansive, but the incoming Capricorn Moon gives you a purpose and a plan. You've had a good time and have been able to relax. It is good to release some of that pressure you have been under. This could be one of your best days ever. A good day to plan for the future. If you are going on a journey, make sure your passport is in order. Visit distant countries, and make new friends.

(mental note for March: transcend! evolve!)

Cancer (June 22 to July 22) You can look forward to seven days and nights of diarrhea...and a lifetime of drinking Pepto-Bismol.

oh my.

infoseek gemini: The Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Capricorn. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is going into Pisces today. This should be kind of interesting, since Pisces is in your Solar Tenth House of career and success. Many people are successful in something that they find rather confronting. For example, you would be most successful quite probably in a career where you take care of others. You're good with communication skills, so you might not have thought of that, but healing is the real avenue you could find most satisfying. Give it some thought.

alright already... gimme Aries somebody!!!

infoseek aries: The Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Capricorn. You're getting a lot luckier today. Jupiter, the big planet of good luck, is going right into your sign. That's the good news. The rather tricky situation that's developing is that Mercury, the planet symbolizing the mind, is going from analytical Aquarius into emotional Pisces. Now, when Mercury is in Aquarius, it helps you figure things out more quickly. You tend to be sort of an analytical type, so that's just more power for your natural tendencies. But when Mercury is in Pisces, it's teaching you how to be sensitive, warm, cuddly and intuitive. Those are all nice qualities to have, but when you're racing full speed ahead, you might be more likely to forget all about them. That'll be your biggest problem today, so watch out for it. (your welcome stacey! *grin*)

THANKS! but it's not right... i'm RARELY analytical and ALWAYS emotional!!

oh what do the stars know anyway? (mine makes me superficial and flighty--i'm NOTHING like that in real life *giggle* (ok, not superficial)

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of February 11, 1999 Wild-hearted Mars plunged into your House of Erotic Intrigue two weeks ago, and will be swirling around in that sensitive area for an unprecedented five months in 1999. (The last time Mars made such an intense and prolonged visit here was the first seven months of 1984.) I predict that in response, most of you Cancerians will be consumed by one of two fates. Some of you will fall prey to the idiotic notion (propogandized incessantly by pop music) that love is more meaningful when it's interwoven with jealousy, deception, and obsession. Others of you will explore scarily sacred depths of intimacy with partners you'll learn to trust more than you thought possible. Decisions you make this Valentine season will have a major impact on which path you ultimately take.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Week of February 11, 1999 My Valentine's gift to you is to help you boost your sense of how attractive you are. To start, close your eyes and visualize the most alluring person you know. He or she is standing in front of you, wearing whatever you want or nothing at all. Now imagine that this gorgeous angel is gazing at you with tender desire. Bask in that aura for a while, then add to the scene another equally stunning person, also giving you goo-goo eyes. Insert still another raving beauty or irresistible hunk, and another, and another. Don't stop until you have arrayed before you in your mind's eye ten enticing people of your favorite gender--and they're all glowing with sweet hot love for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Week of February 11, 1999 I have a special togetherness exercise for you and your Valentine. It's called Siamese Twins. First, go to a thrift store and buy a jumbo unisex outfit, like a Godzilla-sized sweater and sweat pants with a 60-inch waist. At home, strip down to your underwear, then squeeze yourselves into your joint costume. Each one of you will be able to have only one arm waving free, of course. The other will have to be wrapped around the torso of your sweetheart beneath the sweater. Similarly, each of you gets one pant leg for both your legs. Once you're ensconced, spend two hours and 22 minutes working as a single, coordinated unit: Tie shoes, prepare tea, play hopscotch. Careening crazily till you fall down is highly recommended; let's see how good you can get at lifting yourselves up when you're like a turtle on its back.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21) Week of February 11, 1999 Polls reveal that almost three-fourths of all people think everyone else is having more fun than they are. For Scorpios, the percentage is even higher, an incredible 88 percent. Given your preference for intensity over contentment, and deep meaning over nice gestures, your suspicions may actually have a factual basis much of the time. I can assure you, however, that they are utterly without foundation right now. Every cosmic omen is screaming to me that this Valentine season should begin one of the happiest, most pleasurable periods you've known in years.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21) Week of February 11, 1999 Which will it be this Valentine season, boss, war or love? You can't have both. Will you devote your considerable resources to designing an ingenious and covert form of revenge? Or will you channel that same energy into conjuring a breakthrough in your ability to blend compassion and lust? To define the question from a different angle, will you exultantly spew out projections of ugliness on your beloved enemy, or will you diligently hunt for the missing keys to awakening your beloved's secret fire?

Cancer's Year Ahead: You excel in snuggling. But in 1999, you'll get a crash course in sex from Mr. Libido (a.k.a. Mars). There will be a strong emphasis on hands-on experience. Classes go from January 26th to March 18th. After a review period from May 5th through July 4th, lessons resume until September 2nd. Your required reading is the Kama Sutra and The Joy of Sex. You'll have lots of homework, so get ready to burn the midnight oil.

Cancer's for the WEEKEND OF FEBRUARY 13 Don't be frustrated by the slowness of a revelation. Information that comes incrementally is more easily encoded. Mind your motives and your integrity with regard to a partner. Disappointment is no excuse to break the rules. Practice better economics so that debits don't exceed credits. A Sunday frolic with a loved one provides overdue fun.

Love those cosmic omens!! Yessir, this is going to be my millenium, I just know it...

Cancer for MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15 An unexpected disruption may dash your plans�-- but you're good in a crisis, because you're quick on your feet. The need to dance to someone else's tune makes you appreciate your own choice of music. Beware of blind optimism. Look before you leap into a seemingly great opportunity. It may not sustain the weight of your expectations, and could collapse under heavier scrutiny.

cancer's for WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17 It's a beautiful day to frolic in the recesses of memory and imagination. In other words, you need a break from reality�-- perhaps to repair a broken heart or spirit. Creativity you can't contain may lead you to investigate a new career. The steps necessary to make the transition aren't as onerous as you think. A flurry of worry dissipates as you indulge in recreation.

Gemini: 17 Feb 99 The Sun is in Aquarius and the Moon is in Pisces. Your assignment for today is to listen carefully. It looks like someone is trying to teach you something, but the lesson may not come through words alone. You're also being taught by example. A person you admire very much is quite likely to do something you find difficult. The clue here is that this person finds it easy. If you see something like that happening, pay attention. You can mimic what the other person does, even if you can't quite explain it. Imitation, besides being the very best form of flattery, is also an excellent way to learn.

so, what didja learn?

that they're sending me off into the wild blue yonder again in spring.

same bat-place, same bat-station?

nope, better locale, but still, i'll miss my baby girl's 6th b-day. she'll never forgive me :(

gemini, 19 feb: The Sun is going into Pisces and the Moon is in Aries. The Moon's transit through Aries today should let you know who your friends are. They're the ones who are bringing you good luck, but also a little stern coaching. If you get off track, one of your friends is bound to let you know about it and reel you back in. That's important, because sometimes you get sidetracked. Today, that's not a good idea. As the Sun goes into Pisces, where it'll be by tomorrow, your career opportunities start opening up. You're going to have to have done the homework, though, or you won't be ready when opportunity knocks. Today, practice.

Sorry to hear that Wolf, it would break my heart to miss one of my children's birthdays. Where are you going?

that horoscope for us twins should've read 18 feb. autumn: out in the middle of nowhere, basically.

Maine?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Week of February 18, 1999 After a long and semi-brilliant reign as your kick-ass guide, one of your major influences is about to lose more than a little of its hold on you. This is a stealthy turning point that's best faced on an empty mind, so please wash your brain thoroughly. The fertile new imprints that are on their way will be much more effective in inspiring brainstorms if you're not being a nice, polite Crab trying to stay loyal to the memory of your old teacher.

cancer's for FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19 Don't inhale a superior's hot air. You may be impressionable, but you're not blind to the writing on the wall. Your challenge is to be a rock of stability amid a bit of a tremor. No one is better situated to look out for number one than you. Heeding your intuition means shunning those with murky motives. Follow a pleasure-seeker to a place of glee. A novelty item tickles your funny bone.

Gemini, 19 Feb. The Sun is in Pisces and the Moon is in Aries. Don't dash off and do something today just because of a friend's suggestion. Better check and make sure that's what your client or your boss wants. What your friend thinks is appropriate might be completely different. Unless your friend is paying your salary, his or her opinion is, well, an opinion. Sorry, but that's all it amounts to. You can do projects like that on your own time, but if you're on company time, better check and make sure you're on the right track before you race off in a new direction. The odds are better you'll be asked to do something you've done before. Even if that seems confining, if that's how you pay the rent, that's what you ought to be doing. what? now's NOT a good time to give up my retirement paycheck for a job at wally world?

that implies that there is a good time for that...

(Still LOL at wer saying "Maine"...)

at least someone currently finds me useful...

Cancer's for TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23 A colleague who commands considerable respect admires your work ethic and wants to see you succeed. A great undertaking requires all the help you can get. Seek advice to nourish egos and expand your team. A little finesse and subtle leverage return positive energy and momentum. Champion change while you alternately entertain friends and exchange issues.

Gemini, Feb 24 (now this is indeed sad) " " and that's about the extent of infoseek's horoscope for gemini's today.

at least it's not bad! (maybe it was abducted by aliens...)

Cancer's for WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 Eureka! A jackpot of good karma is at the other end of your rainbow of sublime kindness. You share in someone else's fair fortune, and you're also the beneficiary of returned favors. An emotional upheaval may diminish your productivity at work. Be professional, especially if you've made the mistake of mixing career and romance. You can save face despite a disgrace.

and for you, Wolf, Gemini's for WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 The influence of a friend with a heart of gold puts you in touch with your better instincts through charitable activities. Good deeds lead you to good people and luck. A partner who is riding an emotional roller coaster needs some peace and tranquility. Don't reflect any agitation you may encounter. Instead, set an example for equanimity.

oh, that can't be mine, it's implying i have friends.....*grin*

mine do that to me sometimes, too!

well, good thing all of us with no friends hang out here together *smile*

something like that...

gemini: 26 feb 99 The Sun is in Pisces and the Moon is in Cancer. Today could turn out to be a challenge, not just for you, but for everybody. It looks like it starts out with a breakdown in communication. Somebody says one thing, but other person hears something completely different. This is not all that unusual, actually. It happens all the time. But today, you might be amazed to see how big a spread there can be between what was said and what was heard. Keep that in mind if you're giving any kind of instructions or orde s. You might even want to have people repeat back to you what they heard, so you can put in the correction earlier rather than having to deal with the messes later. repeat after me.....

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!)

There's still time!

OK Stacey and other Aries folks: September 23, 1999 Put your schedule aside and roll with the waves today, Aries. The Moon has entered into Pisces, which could cause some confusion for your Sun Sign. No matter how carefully you may have planned your day, something is likely to come along and change it all. Do not be surprised if you end up on a completely different course. This isn't a good day to try anything new, especially if you are unsure of what the outcome might be. Avoid conflicts with those close to you. Think before you speak, and take other people's feelings into consideration. Hang onto your temper.

holdin' on to temper as I float down the river of life, going with the flow of course and bitin' my tongue... (how'm I doin?)

Don't do it, Stacey!!! Stop it!!!

Woo WOO!!!!! Freedom... vindicated by another... YEEE HAW

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stifle that impulse, Aries, unless you can direct it and transform it into constructive activity. Your emotions could be running high, so don't let them run away with you. Today is an excellent day to mend some family fences that may be in need of repair. The reason may be that famous culprit, money. Was it really worth arguing about? It wasn't, as you know now, so reach out, and show some generosity of spirit. You will sleep much easier, and hopefully share some bodily contact with your mate or partner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You sign is noted for its perseverance, but today you may feel like letting down your guard about a resolution to rein in your spending. Turn this extravagant mood into giving special consideration to those you work with. You could be surrounded by some touchy tempers. If the cause is work overload, offer a helping hand. This evening is a time to kick back, relax, and treat yourself. If you've been on a diet, indulge a little. You can always catch up by cutting more calories another day. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Something or someone from your past could come back to haunt you today. Don't get spooked, and don't sweep the situation under the carpet. If there is a confrontation, use your excellent judgment to keep it as unemotional as possible. Partnered Geminis or those with steady romantic relationships may find that their mates need to talk about a job problem. Here, too, help your significant other see where he or she may be overreacting. You know about that, don't you? CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have so many odds and ends to deal with today that it could make you crazy if you don't approach it all with a plan. Make an agenda and stick with it. Your to do list could contain domestic chores as well. Don't give in to moodiness. It could make you nag at a mate and/or children. Just gently insist that they do their share. Cancerians tend to feel stress rather easily. By bedtime, your mood should have improved, and you will be able to sleep like a top. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You are such a leader that sometimes you don't know how to follow orders. On the job, you could have some additional responsibilities heaped on you today. Don't fight it, Leo. Just tackle it. While literal gambling may not be your problem, you are sometimes prone to take a flyer. Watch that impulse today, because what you see may not be what you get. Overconfidence could backfire on you now. Before you make a move, discuss it tonight with your mate or partner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): One of your best traits, Virgo, is your analytical ability. Call on it today to gently pull apart the many threads of a possibly confusing situation. If you must correct someone in your professional or personal sphere, do it with compassion and empathy. Your nagging side could creep in on you and alienate someone. Virgos who are happily partnered should make special efforts not to disturb the domestic peace. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may come up against that familiar conflict between love and duty today. You may be called on to put in extra hours. It is not a calamity, as you will see later on. A mate, live-in, or romantic partner will welcome you with open arms and be appreciative of your willingness to "work hard for the money." He or she may even give you a special something with an "I love you" message written all over it. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You don't like to feel out of control, and your response sometimes is to become overly controlling. If you take that tack today, someone around you might rebel. You could discover just how much that person resents that type of behavior. If it is a mate or partner, reassure him or her that you know he or she is an adult and does not need you to play cop. Later today, emotional scenes will be forgotten, and you will enjoy the warmth and serenity of your own, personal "safe harbor." SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your workday should go pretty much as expected, but Sagittarians in romantic relationships could get a surprise this evening. Your partner may act or speak rather impulsively. No one should be more understanding of this than impulsive Sag. In some cases, this will move the relationship forward. That's a good thing, too, Sag, because that person seems to be made from the same mold as you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you put too much emphasis on getting ahead today, Capricorn, you could find yourself not getting along too well with your main man or woman. After all, he or she wants to be at the top of your list of priorities. This evening, dip into that stash you've put aside and treat him or her to a super evening of dinner, wine, and all that good stuff that comes after, such as "sexual dessert." AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarians can be quite self-willed if they think their independence is threatened. Don't get your back up if there is some shifting around in the workplace that doesn't suit you. Your financial picture is bright, and with your tendency to break and run, you know you could always get a comparable or better position. Because there is an emotional charge to the day, however, be sure not to shoot yourself in the foot. This evening, your mate or partner may indicate that he or she is also feeling hemmed in. Di cuss plans to put work on the back burner and get away from it all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you are feeling overworked, undervalued, and in general not happy with things, even yourself, devote some time to your personal care today. Make that dentist appointment, get that new hairstyle, or get yourself some new duds for work or play. Your main squeeze may feel in need of some special care as well. If your partner starts ragging on you this evening, tell him or her how good it made you feel to do something for yourself, and encourage your partner to do likewise.

I would love to drop out, but my "financial picture" is a disaster! Am I lucky, that I don't believe in this stuff?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wherever you are or wherever you go today, variety is the keynote. On the job, this may be a blessing for you antsy Ariens. You may also be up for a change in your romantic life. Later today, when you and your main man or woman meet, you may look at him or her more critically than usual. Permanently partnered Ariens need not be overly concerned. Solo Ariens, however, may reassess their situations and decide that something is missing. You might prefer to have someone who is as swift on the uptake as you ar . If you have to let someone down, do it gently. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Today is one of those days when you know immediately what to do and how to do it. Consequently, you should be pleased with yourself. Higher-ups may take note and put an "A+" next to your performance evaluation. In addition to this good news, prepare to have an excellent and easy exchange with someone. Whether it's your regular guy or gal or someone new, expect a coming together of minds and hearts -- and possibly, when night falls, of bodies. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be in a rather foul mood today, Gemini. Though it is not usually your nature, you may behave rather temperamentally. For the sake of appearances, try to shake it off when you interact with others on the job. For the sake of your most important partnership, don't make any promises unless you are absolutely sure you can keep them. By the same token, don't let your partner propose a contract that he or she can't honor. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today is a day when Cancerians may be asking themselves questions such as, "What's it all about, really?" or "Is this all there is?" Don't confuse yourself by digging too deep. Instead, take advantage of the good possibilities the day offers for relating to the most important person in your life. Your partner would be an excellent person to brainstorm with about some of your concerns. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You could wake up today and ask, "Where's the party?" We wish we could promise you one from dawn till dusk, but unfortunately you have many tasks to complete today, and they will keep you running in many different directions. Don't get frustrated, Leo. Instead, adjust to the situation. Later on, both you and your favorite person can party all you like. You'll probably be in a crowd of like-minded people when you do so. Enjoy, but don't overdo. Tomorrow is not only another day; it's a busy one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): By day's end, you may be asking, "Is there no rest for the weary?" Yes, you really had to plug away today but don't feel that your efforts were not appreciated. A person in a position to influence your future had his or her eye on you. Tonight, retire to your own little nest, put your feet up, and enjoy some quiet time, with or without your partner. If you prefer to be solo, your partner will understand. Everyone needs time to wind down and your mate or live-in knows by now that Virgo can get especially u tight when stressed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Librans have a special way to calm jittery nerves, which are likely during this hectic day. You are good at separating facts from feelings, however, so you are not apt to blame anyone. This evening is an excellent time to feed your soul with something beautiful. Try to work in a trip to a museum, if you can manage it. Perhaps you could listen to great music on that super sound system that's a Libra "must have." Just space out and dream. If you feel like it, and your partner is receptive, share your dreams Even if they seem a bit fanciful to you, your partner may just say, "Of course, why not?" You are so talented that you could do anything. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For some time now, more than a few Scorpios have been thinking about a change of place -- residential place, that is. Today you could happen upon some information that opens new doors, financially speaking. Your economic picture has not been bad, but now you see how to make it better. This evening, you and the person with whom you share living space should figure out just how much house (or apartment) you could afford. You may be surprised. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you are asking yourself, "Why am I working so hard for so little compensation?" the answer lies in Sag's need to be creative. Whatever position you hold, it is made sweeter by the opportunity to have your ideas listened to. Even if you don't always get the go-ahead to put them in action, at least you know you are making some kind of mark. This evening, you and your special person could bat around some ideas about your personal situation. You often need an anchor, and your partner fills that need. Don't resent practical suggestions. Just adapt your plans to them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): This is a day when single Capricorns could meet a new person who is "marriageable material," as they used to say. This person is interesting and easy to relate to. It's not "tough sledding" like it sometimes is. Just relax and be yourself. No one could say at this early date what the possibilities are, but they do seem promising. Home and family are important to most Capricorns, even if Cap is sometimes slow in getting around to doing something about them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some Aquarians are going through changes with respect to their romantic lives. Today is an excellent day to patch up something that may have gotten a bit "shopworn." Don't give up on him or her. Instead, find new things to like. Use your intuition to figure out just what to say and what to do. Your partner will welcome a re-patterning of the relationship into something more suitable for both of you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are in a soulful mood today, Pisces, despite some glitches that threaten to disturb your inner peace. Early in the day, wherever you are, make it a point to contact your main man or woman and suggest some inspirational activity for the evening. It could be as simple as seeing one of those great films that grab you "right there." If the two of you are stimulated by it, end the day with some really heartfelt lovemaking. Sex is very important to Pisces because it means much more than mere bodily contact. You won't be disappointed tonight.

"Romantic live", he?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Despite your day job, you are going to have to work pretty hard to keep your domestic arrangements from going off the track. It's just one of those days, and it may even start out with some sharp words. If you handle it in your deft, sure way, you could earn bragging rights with your mate or partner, who may not be able to cope. Don't, however, make the mistake of criticizing him or her. Enough good stuff is in the air to make you empathetic and able to spend a low-key but completely relaxing evening, whe her it's just with him or her, or among friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sudden, unexpected events could keep you on your toes today, Taurus. One of them, perhaps an unexpected visit, could put you in touch with a new and exciting person who has something special to bring to the table. If the day's events throw you, you could restore your own harmony by cheerfully acquiescing to altered plans or arrangements. Later tonight, don't ask for any major concessions on the part of your mate or partner. Without meaning to, he or she could make a promise that can't be kept. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Great day in the morning, Gemini! You love variety, and today could bring so much of the "new" that you may feel mentally or emotionally overloaded. The cure is to stick with the known as far as possible. Put that new stuff in your pocket to mull over on a less exciting day. You or someone in your immediate surroundings could make a minor mistake. Don't blow up. Just cool down and stay away from pressure-filled social situations. Try to meditate and get in touch with your inner self. That way, you will en the day on a positive and even contented note. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Today is not a day to look back, because if you do, you may look back in anger. Instead, concentrate on the future, both your own and that of the people closest to you. Don't hold back your real feelings. It is important to tell others, in the calmest way possible, what you feel and why you feel that way. You may be surprised at the positive reception you get and at how much others are willing to concede to you. As is usual with Cancer, doing for others is the best thing you could do for yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This morning, brush that mane (or buzz cut, or whatever you wear) until it shines, Leo. You are going to get plenty of attention today. You love the spotlight, but don't hog it. Step aside and let others strut their stuff and do their thing. Your desire for independence may be strong, but remember that relationships are two-way streets. Your main man or woman may also be feeling the desire to be autonomous. With a generous heart and compassionate feelings, you two could reach a compromise that works for b th of you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a magnetic sparkle today, Virgo. It's a great time to branch out into new activities, hobbies, or groups. A dynamic quality infuses everything you do today. Solo Virgos should keep on the lookout for interesting potential partners -- it's startup time. Partnered Virgos may find that domestic matters are in a bit of a muddle. Of course, that never stopped a true Virgo. Use your own "radar" to scope out the problem and solve it. By nightfall, all will be calm and serene. Resolve to not let things g t away from you again. You could persuade the most recalcitrant mate or partner to go along with your program. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your sign sometimes plays it rather close to the vest, emotionally speaking. Don't let that tendency hold you back today. If you feel frustrated because you sense that your hands are tied, relax. That's not the reality, only your fantasy. Tell whoever you believe is restricting you -- boss, mate, or child, perhaps -- that you need more space, some room to spread your wings. Indulge a secret wish to start some kind of creative activity. A good start is to put your thoughts in a journal, and keep doing it e ery day. Encourage the man or woman who is your most important person to do so as well. Then you will have full emotional disclosure. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have decisions, or one crucial decision, to make. Today you have a great opportunity to weigh both sides of the issue and come down firmly on one side or the other. Though you are great at swaying (manipulating?) people, do not play the heavy. Consider having a joint discussion with everyone whose interests are involved. It could resemble a group therapy session, with the result that all concerned end up in synch and in total agreement about what needs to be done. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your sign is not fond of dramatic scenes, but you may find yourself involved in one today, at work or at home. If you bring your sense of humor to bear on the situation, you will do everyone a big favor. Sagittarians have a wonderful ability to get everyone to see how absurd many of life's so-called crises really are. Tonight put the ball in your partner's court and let him or her call the shots. Your compatibility will ensure that your partner's program will be just fine with you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It doesn't look like business as usual today, Capricorn. Change is the order of the day, and in your case, it could be change for the better. If a raise is due to come through, today is the day you will hear about it, and it may be more than you think. Although pleased, your mate or partner has pressures also, and might not be as euphoric as you. The way to handle this is to be outgoing and vocal about how much you value your partner's contributions to your mutual life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Whatever role you play in your personal or professional life today, you will exude a high degree of what politicians call "charisma." Nevertheless, you may feel a strong urge to get away from it all and indulge yourself in fantasy. As far as business goes, you could change things and get in a spot where you feel more independent. Lay some plans today and do some research. You will quickly discover that you are a marketable commodity. This evening, you and your favorite person could confidently think about either a move or a vacation. Your partner will have some interesting things to add to your resume. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What could you say to him or her after you've said, "I love you"? Plenty! For example, "I really am getting my act together. I am going to expand my interests so that I will be more interesting and less involved with myself." By sharing with your partner what you are thinking, you should be able to ward off that vague foreboding of trouble that may be brewing in the safe nest where you are most comfortable.

My financial picture is bright? I have a romantic life and even have money left for vacation? CRAP! Aquarius Allday Horrorscope: Whatever professional life you have or think you have, it ain't no good in the eyes of everybody else. No matter how hard you try, that's just all it is: trying. Your financial picture: You spent all day looking, but couldn't see it. So in this respect, your finances are way cooler than your job. This evening, your partner may indicate that he or she is also feeling hemmed in. You could confidently think about either a move or a vacation. Your partner will welcome a re-patterning of the relationship into something more suitable for both of you, e.g. by adding some interesting unexpected things to your resume. Discuss how to get away from it all and put and end to it. If somebody tells you his or her love life sucks, try to hold back and don't beat the braggarts up! You know you could always get a comparable or better position; pure chance it didn't work out. Tip of the Day: Be careful when leaving your house! There's more folks like you out there, and then there also are Scorpios...

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You've been setting your sights high lately, Aries. Some Ariens are getting more education to further themselves. Try to maintain a cheerful attitude today when home or domestic responsibilities weigh rather heavily. Fortunately, your mind is sharp and your wits are keen, so dealing with it all comes easily. When it comes to those high aspirations, you will reach your goal in less time than you think. The best part is that your mate or partner is cheering you on. Just think what it would be like if he or he didn't see things the way you do. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Today, things are the way you like them, harmonious and relatively calm. You do, however, have to distinguish between taking a break and just plain goofing off, whether at work or at home. Many Taureans have embarked on home renovation or redecoration projects. Today, true inspiration could strike. You and your mate could see a way to make changes that are creative and positive, but not exorbitantly expensive. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are a very social type, Gemini, and today you may find yourself getting involved with a new group, perhaps one that deals with matters in your own community. Your mind is also on romance. If you are single, you have just opened the way to meeting someone with whom you could form an interesting relationship. Married Geminis should involve their mates or partners in whatever new activities they get into now. "Teamwork" is another watchword for the day. This evening, you may have to adapt to the mood of our significant other. Don't worry, he or she will reward you for it. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A fresh burst of energy comes to you today, and it's a good thing, too. A work associate or a partner may be so overloaded that you are asked to pitch in and carry some of the burden. It may try your patience, but think of it as earning points that you can cash in at a later date. The more cheerfully you take things on, the more delightful your evening will be. You need a break, and your special person may suggest a night on the town. Enjoy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You don't really feel like working today, do you? Fortunately, you are such an excellent organizer that you should be able to whip through what needs to be done in record time. Afterward, your time is your own. Perhaps you could spend it with an old pal. Leo enjoys the thrill of the hunt for something new and smashing to wear, and with a buddy to egg you on, it could be a most productive trip. This evening looks like an occasion to stay in and kick back. You and your main man or woman could reconnect afte the long workweek. You will probably agree on the program, as all looks harmonious on that front. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could experience some kind of emotional upheaval today in your orderly life, Virgo. It could leave you feeling a bit anxious and insecure. Try to lay it at the door of someone who is acting in a rather erratic way. It's that person, not you, who should be worried. Later on, Virgos with partners should discuss with them what happened. What you need is an objective point of view, and then some real fun. Hang in at home with a great tape on the VCR. Then, let your partner comfort you in bed. You need the release. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You generally get what you want -- with charm and pleasantness, that is. If that doesn't work today, don't get frustrated, and above all, do not force the matter. Things will work out your way in due time. Because Librans are usually so willing to go along with others' wishes, it is easy to forget that Libra is a cardinal (forceful) sign. In your personal life, this will be an evening of harmonious and productive conversation with your one and only. Be your own sweet self, and you will end the week on an p note. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you forgotten that promise you made to yourself a while back about doing some serious travel? By now, most Scorpios should have been able to squirrel away enough cash to make that possible. Today is an excellent day and evening to dream about and plan to see some of those faraway places. If you are one of a twosome, take both of your druthers into account, though it looks as if total agreement is on your itinerary. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You suspect that something is going on in the workplace, and you are dying to know the secret. If you are cheerful and cooperative with everyone, sooner or later it will slip out. You may be disappointed, however, because it has no impact on your situation, but at least your curiosity is satisfied. You should be more curious about how to make your money grow. Tonight is a good time to sit down with your one and only and talk about the assets you have and how you could make them greater. With expert advice it could be done. At all costs, steer clear of get-rich-quick schemes. They rarely pan out, as you may already know. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you are among those Capricorns who are a bit frustrated with their current work situations, try suggesting how your work could become more creative, and therefore more challenging. When challenged, Capricorn is the ideal employee. When boredom sets in, however, productivity suffers. Partnered Capricorns will find their mates or partners in fine fettle this evening. Your partner should be able to inspire you in your quest for what you want. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "They" may be leaning on you today. They could be bosses and/or family members. You should be able to handle the former with ease, but the latter may cause you some concern. Obligations toward older relatives may be the issue. Take it with good cheer, and don't hesitate to foist some duties on your partner. A willingness to cooperate is in the air, and it should affect how your partner responds. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be somewhat apathetic today -- about everything except your romantic life. Solo Pisceans may be just aching to talk to a certain guy or gal who has become more interesting by the day. If you don't have a date with him or her, make one. Make it clear that you want to discuss where the relationship is going. You tend to be a drifter, but at this point you need some reassurance as an anchor. The vibes are positive.

Monthly Overview of Astrological conditions for October: Venus is a morning star, which is kind of a strange thing to call a planet of love and peace, but that's the old terms for you. And Mars is visible most of the evenings, popping up long after sunset. Mars moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn this month, and a Retrograde Jupiter slides backwards into Aries this month. So we've got Fire, Air, Earth and Water, all up yonder. Aries: This is part of that Lucky Streak I told you about a long time ago. I hoped you were paying attention then. It's like a little echo, though, it's not like it's a brilliant stroke of luck. It's not like it's the biggest streak that you're ever going to stumble into, but this month, Jupiter does slide back into your sign. And that's going to bring a few minor keys of luck. Not big wins, but something more like a haunting melody. There's this one singer who is classified as country by most, but his work is not really, strictly speaking, country or western. But it's not rock, either. Haunting melodies and lyric refrains mark his work. That's what this month is like, it's something that you can't quite give it a name, but it's refreshing and uplifting, for the most part. Of course, there are some blues overtones to it as well, but what's a good month without a few days when you feel blue? Besides, the rest of the month you'll be swaying in a positive way to those haunting strains that you can't quite place, but you do know that luck is back on your side. Taurus: It's been laughed at by the popular press and the general media of the times, but there was period when a bomb shelter was considered an important addition to one's backyard. In fact, we still use a similar structure here in Texas. It's alternately called a root cellar or a storm shelter, and it's a place to hide when the turbulent Texas weather spins up to full force. Now, the weather isn't going to be that odd, and the hurricane season should be over. But there is still a personal hurricane blustering in on your own space, something being whipped up by the heavens right now. This storm front looks like it's work related, at least to me, and it looks like the best thing you can do for most of the month is to hide out in that storm cellar. A little underground refuge might be the easiest way to weather out this month. Too bad we can't all join you down there for the duration of the month. I'm pretty sure a Taurus cellar is well-stocked with plenty of gourmet items. Gemini: Mars and Pluto are in Sagittarius for most of this month. Well, Pluto, he's there for a long time yet. But Mars does move on before too long. However, before anything is accomplished, you are going to find that the influence of these two planets is very similar. Both excite you. The problem with being a Gemini, though, is that you are already pretty excited. So these two planets are going to be pushing you to new heights of Gemini excitability. It's going to be interesting, one way or another. I'd start planning on some kind of wonderful Halloween celebration, complete with a good costume for yourself. Perhaps you should plan on frequent costume changes, as is befitting your mercurial nature, and try playing more than one role. I know you can do it this month. You've got that martial beat thumping in the back of your head, just like the beat coming from a passing low rider with the volume up a little too loud. Cancer: The sound of a small outboard motor, tooling across the lake is a special noise. And early in the morning, it's particularly reassuring, the wet air of the lake blasting in your nostrils, the air soft and damp, your hair blowing in the wind... it's a beautiful picture. Just once this month, as a good Cancer person, the moon is going to make you feel wonderful. And even if you're not actually motoring across the lake, you're going to find that it feels like you're doing this. You get that easy, breezy feeling once this month. Now, take that wonderful feeling, bottle it up and seal in a jar, good and tight. You're going to want to be able to refer back to the good days when the bad days come. I'm not promising that the whole month is good, but there's more that's good than bad. And on the days when the month just seems like it will never work out right, open up that jar of good feelings, and suddenly, you're swept away again, floating across the lake, that little motor pushing your boat along. Leo: Two words hit my mind right now, "good month." The words actually sort of rattle around in my brain, knock a spare cobweb loose, and then go dashing out my left ear. But you get the idea. Most of this month is looking pretty darn good for you. It doesn't really involve any one particular area of you life, there's lots of wide open places where things are going to be good. It's been suggested that my brain is like those wide open spaces. There's just one little caution coming up, and that's about this whole Samhain thing. In plainer terms, it's called Halloween. See, the goblins of the Fall Harvest Fest are going to be haunting you at the end of the month. So as long as things are good, the first couple of weeks of this month, put that goodness to work for you. Then, as the last week gets here, relax a little bit. It's just like getting ready for winter, and that's all that's required of you. While things are good, don't forget to get a little prepared because the harvest season and ensuing cold winter months (here in the Northern Hemisphere) don't tend to be the best time for you. Party and prepare, and then enjoy the festivities. Virgo: One of my buddies was watching me while I beguiled a waitress at a coffee shop, early in the morning where we had stopped before hitting the lake. "How do you do it?" he asked, "you get away with asking them what their sign is." It's easy for me, after all, I am a professional astrologer. It has nothing to do with a prurient interest. Now, this month, at least most of this month, you've got the same little influence working for you. It's an added dose of charm. It's an added gift to beguile. It's an extra lift from the planets which gives you a chance to make an indecent proposition sound like good idea. Yes, it's an unusual influence, and what's it really going to do to you? Make things wonderful. Even if you don't find yourself professing your love to an unlikely candidate at 4:00 in the morning, you're still going to find that part of this month is full of similar happy occasions. Use it well. Sell that real estate which is of dubious value. Get that far flung scheme hatched and sold this month. Libra: Thank the odd planets that life is always interesting in Libra land. It's going to be a strange month. There's a number of rather positive influences in your life this month. I'm looking at your chart, and thinking that it just gets better and better. There's one disturbing little influence, and I hope you sweet sensitive Libra self doesn't let this get to you. See, in old fashioned astrology, Venus is associated with your sign. And in Western Astrology, Venus is the planet voted most likely to rule your sign. Venus is still kicking around in the sign which precedes you sign, most near all month long. And with that happening, it sets a situation that poses bit of a problem. What are you going to do? Enjoy the birthdays, enjoy the sun being in your sign, and don't do anything too wild with your mate. Don't be planning any big surprises. Don't be over-extending your good will. That "rodeo of life" is beckoning to you right now, and all I can suggest is that you take it a little easier this time than ever before. Sit back, and let the party come to you this month. Don't stir up any extra trouble. Scorpio: This month goes from "bad" to "great" on very short notice. The only warning you get is from me. See? I really do care about Scorpio's despite what the popular press says. It's a matter of subtle changes in the placement of the planets. And attitude. If you can let go of that "all is lost" idea, if only for a little while, then this month starts to look better and better. Besides, the end of this month brings about some welcome changes in your own, personal space. Of course, I tend to regard this as a fishing boat, but you might find it some place else. It could be the computer desktop. It could be at home, around the kitchen table. These changes might seem a bit unsettling in the early part of the month, but as the Sun slowly sneaks into Scorpio, you'll notice that things start looking brighter and brighter as each day goes by. Like I've suggested, it's a subtle shift, and most sublties are lost on lesser signs, but as a Good Scorpio, you will detect this gentle uplifting as the days of this month march by. It's looking better and better, every day. Save this as a reference, and get back to me -- at the end of the month. Sagittarius: Mars marches forward through the remaining portion of your sign this month. Our sign. And once we get done with Mars, it's time to consider just what you are going to do for the holiday. I always get Valentine's Day mixed up with Halloween. Costumes, candy, reaping rewards, it's a harvest celebration, you know. You're going to find that your energy level is going to take an unexpected turn for the strange this month, and the whole idea of Halloween is going to concentrate your own ideas on getting your place ready for a big party of some kind. I know that the first of the month is too early to worry about such things, but as the forward motion of Mars kicks you into gear, you're going to be wondering just what to do with it all. I've always found that a string a Xmas lights is a useful decoration, and once the holiday spirit changes, you have your Yule time decorations in place. It's a going to be a kick off for a good season, so think about how you're going to "spruce the place up." Capricorn: Mars is going to take you by storm, about halfway through the month. And that's also what it will feel like. This can be a pleasant storm, one of the those much needed gentle rains that leaves everyone feeling cleansed and refreshed, or it can be a terribly frightening thunderstorm, with giant bolts of lightening that seem to rip the very heavens themselves open. Trying to think about controlling the weather begs a comparison to one of my dates once, but it's best if we all don't go there. However, there is a good shot at something pretty good if you don't try to control the situation. It's like trying to control the weather, or one of my dates, neither one works. Since Mars kind of likes Capricorn, once he gets here, you're going to enjoy his ride. The trick with Mars is to exert a little bit of self restraint when picking your fights. No need to walk up the biggest brawler in the place, and deliberately engage him. Not this month, anyway. Aquarius: You get a few little astrological "hits" in your chart in the first part of the month. Looks like it's even in the first week. I would suggest that it looks like Halloween arrives a little early. Now, work with me on the metaphor here, we've all had a date or two who resembles some Halloween contest winner. You're just going to be wondering what these people are doing showing up so early. In fact, a lot of the month has a Halloween type of coloring to it. Orange and Black might be the best way to describe this month for you. Either that, or pumpkin filled. Like Pumpkin pie, maybe? I guess that one has to wait. But from the Halloween coloring is going to burst a new you. Or the same you with a new attitude. And that will be nice. You just need to start taking it easy as the month draws to a close. The easier you take it, the better you feel. And like the time worn astrology theorem, don't worry about a Halloween costume -- be yourself. Pisces: There is a strange back and forth effect this month, a bizarre kind of energy which is set in motion by the planets. The two love planets, to be more accurate. One would be Venus and the other would be Mars. This is going to drag you over the coals, as the expression goes, one more time. The advantage is that you're a water sign, and hot coals usually just seem to excite the steamy side of your life. So this month is warming up a certain "something" in your life. While this looks good for you, there's still a little warning that is associated with this general warming trend as winter approaches. The cold weather (up here in the northern hemisphere, it is supposed to be the start of winter), and you warm affections seem to go hand in hand. The only little problem is timing, and there will be days this month when you feel like your timing for the heat treated therapy won't work. Doesn't mean it's not a good idea, but like I've said, there will be days when it feels like the heater might be broken.

Ok. So I'll go to the fields, waiting for the big pumpkin-spirit to arrive...?

Like Charly Brown?

More like Linus...?

http://www.astrofish.com GEMINI In traditional astrology, stuff that dates back before the Romantic Period in literature, you've got a busy week with a few business related deals pending. Sort of like negotiating with the bank to buy a new bass boat, a top of the line Skeeter to float you into the new millennium. Now, here at World Headquarters, we've done a little research with your chart, and we have to wonder about this old fashioned astrology. It looks like this is NOT the week to buy the bass boat. Rather, you can be concentrating on something a little bit better, like a particular person who has caught your eye. That's why the fishing metaphor, and bass boats are important this week, but it looks a lot like you are more interested in the salesman than the boat itself. Unfortunately, these passing influences make you wonder a little bit this week. While I like the idea of the new boat, I have to wonder whether you're really in need of it right now. Flirt with that sales clerk, and see what kind of deal you can work out, and I think you know what I mean. CANCER Saturday, 02-Oct-1999 22:06:32 CDT On several of my old business cards, my voice mail number [512/209-2200] is listed as "Rodeo Voice Mail." The first level of confusion comes from folks who ask, "What's Radio Voice Mail?" It's Rodeo, not Radio. I always assume that folks can read. Might be a bad assumption. Might be a bad assumption for both of us this week, Cancer and Kramer. "Rodeo Voice Mail" means that you've got a few seconds to leave a message before you get bucked off. It's like that this week, you've got an important message, but you don't have a lot of time to deliver this information. So pay attention to the clock, and realize that 30 seconds is about all that your window of opportunity will afford you. Hey, it sure beats an 8-second ride, if you know what I mean. 8 Second Ride was last week's news.

Mmh, I wonder if there are no new entries, because I commented to them or because I stopped commenting them....?????????????????????

One wonders indeed... though one, of course, doesn't believe in 'em, nor ever reads 'em... ;=}

I don't believe in horoscopes that's why I want to read them to make fun of them, You know? ;-] You old know-all!

Know-all yerself!

For my part, I do not believe them and they usually have an uncanny knack of hitting me right between the eyes. However, I have been talking to myself a lot on Spring lately, and there is just so much stuff I can look up on the web all by myself. I think Geo, History and a bunch of other stuff needs more of my time than this topic. Be my guest. Until the usual posters get back from Hiatus (it is a popular place lately) it will have to rely on someone else...

Here's some stuff I found on a website called "The Celtic Heart." I had no idea that a Celtic astrology chart existed, but so it does and it's very interesting. I'm going to post it in sections, since it's quite long. BETH; Dec. 24-Jan. 21 Tree: Birch Symbol: White Stag Those born under the sign of Beth have a gift for creating amazing and wonderful things. The lunar influences surrounding this sign bestow abilities and talents for building things that last and are of great value. Beth people have tenacity, practicality, good judgement and patience. There is great charm here and success comes easily when self-criticism ceases. The Birch is flexible, steady, rooted in strength as it reaches toward the limitless sky. Beth is the first letter of the Ogham alphabet. The great Celtic stag carries the spirit of the first forest. His power brings connection with unseen possibilities. Stag energy is full with gentleness, loyalty, and courage. Honoring intuition brings success. LUIS; Jan. 22-Feb. 18 Tree: Rowan Symbol: Dragon Those who are born under the sign of the Celtic month Luis are blessed with quickness of mind, inspiration, and a gift for communication of all kinds. Rowan's legendary ability to absorb a bolt of lightning has made it a tree of inspiration and power. The mighty Rowan is a reminder that nature and the land have powers to inspire and guide you. Special care must be given to honor both the realms of practicality and inspiration. Dragon is a protector of the great Celtic treasure. The ancient Fire Drago keeps the secrets and visions of the bards. The great treasure of the Dragon is the magical wisdom of the Druids. The great Celtic Festival of Fire, Imbolc, is Feb. 2.

Oooh Neat, Amy!!! Thanks!

NION; Feb. 19-Mar. 18 Tree: Ash Symbol: Merfolk The sign Nion brings gifts of understanding, intuition and empathy to those born under it. Many great bards, poets and magicians are associated with this lunar sign. Gwyddion, the greatest storyteller of ancient times, possessed all the magical gifts of Nion. The mighty ash brings inner strength, a peaceful spirit, and the ability to overcome all obstacles. Ash is one of the most sacred trees to the Celts. The Merfolk inhabit the seas, appearing to humans on rare occasions. Celtic legends tell of an ient times when the Celts lived in a mystical land beneath the waves. The Merfolk bring the gift of memory and vision to those born under the month of Nion. FEARN; Mar. 19-Apr. 15 Tree: Alder Symbol: Falcon Fearn is rich in mystic tradition. Boldness, independence, and dynamic action are all part of the character of those born under the sign Fearn. The legendary hero, Bran, is strongly associated with the red branch of the alder tree. The redness of the alder is a reminder that sometimes, intense spirit need to be tempered with thought. This is a time of year when baby animals are born and the world is renewed. Falcon flies over the land and surveys all that is new, all that is possible, and all that wi l be. Those born in the month of the ash share keen insight of the Falcon. The Celtic spring festival of the Vernal Equinox is on Mar. 21. SAILLE; Apr. 16-May 14 Tree: Willow Symbol: Sea Serpent Saille is a sign of Earth mysteries, psychic gifts, and healing. From earliest times, the willow has been a sacred tree. Willow's deep roots connect the Faery realm with the land of the Celts. People born under this sign often possess a gift for seeing what others may miss seeing. Saille people often have a long, clear memory. Willow trees are associated with Danu, Ceridwen, and the Druids. An ancient sea serpent swims to the remotest depths of the sea, and like the willow, brings hidden knowledge t the surface. Cirein Croin, the Scottish sea serpent of legend, is said to be the largest of all living creatures. May Day, the ancient Celtic celebration of Beltane, is May 1.

Here's some stuff I found on a website called "The Celtic Heart." I had no idea that a Celtic astrology chart existed, but so it does and it's very interesting. I'm going to post it in sections, since it's quite long. BETH; Dec. 24-Jan. 21 Tree: Birch Symbol: White Stag Those born under the sign of Beth have a gift for creating amazing and wonderful things. The lunar influences surrounding this sign bestow abilities and talents for building things that last and are of great value. Beth people have tenacity, practicality, good judgement and patience. There is great charm here and success comes easily when self-criticism ceases. The Birch is flexible, steady, rooted in strength as it reaches toward the limitless sky.

I dunno...that Apr 16 - May 14 is my son, and he is absolutely a brick when it comes to psychic things and healing arts - but he has done it for me when I lost it on a lava flow and thought I was gonna die...he took me aside, sat me down and talked to me till I gathered myself back togehther. Perhaps there IS something here!!!

UATH; May 15-June 12 Tree: Hawthorn Symbol: Chalice Those born under the sign of Uath are often able to charm those around them without effort. Talents are many for those born at this time of year including a flair for the dramatic and a strong sense of self. Uath favors actors, artists, dancers, and politicians. Skill at subtle negotiation and diplomacy are also common. Hawthorn stands quietly in strength and knowledge. The chalice of Celtic legend, the Grail cup, and Dagda's inexhaustible cauldron, are all symbols of the gifts that flow to those who are worthy. Chalices and cauldrons represent the ancient caves and wells of Ireland, from which all good things flow freely to those who honor the land. DUIR; June 13-Jul. 9 Tree: Oak Symbol: Horse Duir is the month of the great oak. It is from this tree that the Druids got their name. The word Druid means "oak knowledge." People born under this sign have a natural affinity for religious or spiritual matters. Healers, artists, and visionaries are often born in Duir. The oak stands strong and wise as the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, passes on June 21. Those born in the month Duir who study and learn skills are capable of deep understanding. The horse is the great love of the Ce tic people. Tales of the strength, courage, beauty, and faithfulness of the horse fill Celtic legends. The horse's balance of strength and beauty is celebrated in Epona. TINNE; Jul. 10-Aug. 6 Tree: Holly Symbol: Lion The month of Tinne is a time of putting things in order. Those born under this sign have a special gift for figuring out difficult problems and puzzles. They are often people of great patience and kindness, who delight in mental games. Tinne people are often lucky. Tinne's plant is holly. Holly is favored in Celtic religious and festive celebrations. The holly's sharp leaves are a reminder to temper kindness with caution. The lion, like the cat, is a symbol of skill, intuition, strength, and agilit . The Irish say, "Nature shines through the cat's eyes." The energy of the great cat balances the generous, giving nature of those born in the month of Tinne. The Celtic harvest festival Lugnasadh is celebrated on Aug. 1.

Here I am in telnet and you have posted our birthdays...oh my...and others as well...gasp! very interesting...I shall email you shortly...as soon as I get back to windows!

COLL; Aug. 7-Sept. 2 Tree: Hazel Symbol: Salmon Coll is the month of Hazel, the Celtic "Tree of Wisdom." People born in the month of Coll have a gift for intuition and great wisdom. They often make excellent scholars, poets, and scientists. Inner journeys are the key to unlocking the special gifts of Coll people. Hazel branches are used as divining rods to uncover earth's hidden springs. In Celtic legend, salmon ate the Nine Hazels of Wisdom and knew all things. A Druid told his servant, the boy Fionn MacCumaill, to cook the salmon, but not eat a bit of it. Fionn burned his finger when he poked the salmon and licked it to cool the burn. At that moment, all knowledge left the salmon and entered Fionn. MUIN; Sept. 3-Sept. 30 Tree: Vine Symbol: Swan Muin heralds a time of full ripening and pleasures of the senses. Those born in the month of Muin are expressive and feel emotions strongly. Often they are engaged in lifelong pursuits that benefit others. A love of beauty, home, and companionship are often major influence on decisions. Vine twists and spirals through the life of Muin people, connecting all things. Close lifelong friendships are common for people born under this sign. Swan stories are an important part of Celtic tradition. For gene ations, Celtic bards tell many a tale of those who took the form of graceful swans. This creature is closely connected with enchantment and the Faery realm. Autumnal Equinox is celebrated on Sept. 23.

hey... what astrological genius has fallen down on the job???? Hey baby... what's my sign say??

I think most interest in horrorscopes devolved into ParaSpring or just got shuffled aside. Anyone know why this Gemini has bronchitis? What's your sign, Oh Great Pasquina?

Sagittarius What seems like a good idea to you makes no sense to someone else. Creativity can get you around obstacles, but it can also create them. You get your way with a convincing explanation, but people believe you because of the positive aura you project today. By having fun with work projects that are usually a bore, you get a lot more done than others around you. Keep that positive feeling going after work, and someone will be instinctively drawn to you in a romantic way. Right on! On the money today.

And now, Infospace gives you Aries: You are inspired to take the initiative -- in fact, you are compelled. Self-fulfilling prophecies begin and end with you. Your destiny rests lightly in your hands. The best way to steer things in a positive direction is to stop planning and start doing. Action is your best friend today. Don't sit around and wait for others to take the lead. Be a pioneer and others will follow in your direction. Propose an idea at work -- your enthusiasm will help in all your endeavors. Gemini: Socializing with coworkers may be on the agenda for today or tonight, and the results should be promising. Let your hair down and have a good time -- anything is possible! You'll find that opening up to other people today will reap rewards for you. By giving a bit of yourself, others will find it easier to open up to you. You will discover things about your coworkers you never expected. That will be all it takes to turn a coworker into a friend. Cancer: You need to think creatively to get around an obstacle that will not be moved. Confrontation is more than useless at this point. Ignoring the problem or waiting it out might be options for the very patient. Time has a tendency to shed new light on these situations, so try to keep your emotions in check and deal with this tomorrow when the Moon moves into Taurus. Don't go to your boss with problems today -- just complain about them after work and sleep it off. You'll feel much better tomorrow. What other signs do folks have that may not be covered by these four?

Woo Woo! I'm a pioneer!

So what self fulfilling prophecies are you going to make?

"You gonna be rich or else, kid!"

And up to now, it really worked or else, too!

Is there more stress on "really worked" or "or else"???

Too much stress to think about it seriously, I'm afraid. ;=}

Oh, Alexander! *H u g s*, I am so sorry!

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You find yourself looking forward to the weekend with a great deal of expectation as well you should. An old love will be back in town today and with a very few words you convince this person to stick around...at least until the wedding bells ring for you two. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Woeking or constantly studing all the time can get you down before you know it. This would be a good weekend to plan some exciting adventures with good friends. Today would be excellent for rounding them up and mak- ing your plans. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Spring break is here, almost; it is time to get your travel plans arrainged. Make it a safe week and try to keep your activities down to a mild roar so you will be able to relax and get yourself prepared for the rest of the year. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Being the loving nurturing person that you are, both female and male, you find that people who need this type of understanding is drawn to you today and since this is what you like to do, you are prefectly comfort- able in raising their spirits and self-confidence. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Negative Leo may try to ease in today but you soon become aware of your actions and your attitude and put a quick stop to it. Positive Leo is a joy to behold as he/she cannot accomplish enough to suit them and always makes someone happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You may be feeling a little critical today about the accomplishments of someone close to you but when you stop and think about it, that person has done quite a job considering the lack of skills he/she had to work woth. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Your loving disposition will come to the fore today when you get a fright about a loved ones health sit- uation and life expectancy. Not to worry though as this person has had the best of care and will be very likely to pull through. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) After so many emotional ups and downs this week you will find today to be unexpectedly relaxing and calm. Things will go off exactly as you have them planned and higher ups will see eye to eye with you on busi- ness situations. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Back home from the hospital may seem strange for you at first as the new rules you have to follow are so alien to you. Take heart, you will soon be your old self again and wonder how you could ever have been that sick in the first place. ;-} CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) The weekend coming up will be a good one for getting the nose off the business grindstone and invest some of your time with those who love and need you. Plan some activities with the family and try not to think of work pending at the office. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be in your helpful Hanna mode today but be very sure that the person you plan on helping actual- ly wants your help enough to ask for it or you could suffer a rebuff for you efforts. Everyone who needs help doesn't always appreciate it. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Take off for a warm spot this weekend so the fishes can enjoy some water sports and fun. You need the relaxation of doing nothing but what you want to do for a few days. That will bring you out of the winter depressions and back into the sunshine.

Not!

hey, that's what i was gonna say!!

Should I unsubscribe and let you post it? I am always concerned as you have a job and family which needs you whereas I just have The Spring =) It's up to you, entirely since this is your kuleana, you know!

who are you talking to? (terry, i would guess)

Nope - Wolfie! I thought you were going to post the same horoscope I posted. Did I misinterpret again?

Does Terry really read this stuff? Nah! Lofty individual that he is, he does not have the time nor the inclination to peruse the mortal ramblings of the mortals with whom he shares his bandwidth *smiling naughtily*

sorry *grin* no, i just figured we'd leave it in paraspring.

I read it!

oooh! (I knew you would - on your palm pilot? And are you on break from hammering and such? Does the boss know *wink*)

YOUR DAILY HOROSCOPE - Saturday, March 11, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A chance encounter with an attractive person from long ago has the potential to completely change your thinking, thus your path through life. Be sure that you have all your work caught up as you will not want to waste a minute of your weekend on such mundane things. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Gather up your love and make an adventure out of a short trip to the mountains or the seashore. Kick back and enjoy life today since you are well deserving after such a stren- uous week on the job. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today you break in your quite mode and it will take a little doing for you to loosen up and enjoy yourself. A loved one is ready to say yes and now the rest is up to you, time to put aside your wishy washy thinking and come right to the point. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Love comes knocking on your door today but do not be in too big a hurry to jump into an affair before all the facts are in...some people can be trusted, others can't. You might be better off in keeping this one as a friend only or throwing him back into the sea. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The roaring lion may make the decision to get roaring drunk today but don't! That could be the worst decision of your life and cost more than you can even imagine at this point in time. Stay sober and alert today if you would keep you and yours safe from harm. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Getting a good early laugh by land line from a loved one starts your day off on a good note that you carry with you all day long. Employees notice your upbeat attitude and adjust theirs subconsciously, thus making for a good day for all.

A loyal friend comes to your rescue tonight when someone starts an untrue rumor about you. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Finish what you have started before you can expect to see any increase in income from this project, this is a good day to work on it and finish as you will have all the peace and quiet you need. Work on it, don't think about working on it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Some major problems could be yours today if you adopt a devil may care attitude. Do your own thing but don't hurt, or ignore others, in the process; this could lead to dif- ficulties, especially marital. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You should try very hard not to be to critical of a small child as he/she is too young to understand that you only mean it in a constructive way. You have a good day at work, scoring quite a few points with your boss. Evening may bring a few disagreements. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) People today may have ideas that are terribly different from yours, but they still deserve their turn to be heard; use tact and tolerance in all your dealings at work and at home. Encouragement comes from unusual places. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may find that your new schedule has caused the secretary to become confused and give out erronous information. Don't worry, it won't happen again as your schedule should now be steady and known to all. Don't take your frustration home to a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Finish a creative project today as the boss has been pacing the floor waiting for it. Through the actions of someone who is highly excitable you find yourself in a quandry regarding personal plans. Relax, you may miss meeting someone that you would really rather not see.

Your mood may be slightly down today but don't let it make you snap at others. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You are usually a very private person and can well follow your own path because you know where you want it to lead you. Understanding others and staying one up keeps you a step ahead of the competition, so your future is assured by your actions today. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Try to be lenient today with everyone. If you are too bold or aggressive today it could cause you some major embarrass- ment as well as a major loss of prestige and position in your company. Don't become an overlord. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Working within your budget is going to be hard for you today but well worth the effort, not just in business, but in per- sonal as well. Watch your credit card charges today as they could get out of hand! Keep financial dealings to a simpli- fied minimum. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is a good day to add up all the things that have been eating up your ready cash and then cut out the things that you can live without. You will be surprised how well this works, even in affairs of the heart; translate cash as love. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Set your priorities today concerning business and pleasure and get the family to respect your time 'at work' even if your work is at home. To prosper you will need some ground rules, make the necessary rules for your personal work habits. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A teenager could be giving you trouble right now, but the rules you lay down today will pay off later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) We must all make a few of our own mistakes from time to time in order to grow and change, this could be the uni- versal motive behind a certain event that transpires to- day in a friends life. You may not be able to help but you will try. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A friend comes to you for solace and advice, and your first reaction is to think that you don't have the time to deal with someone elses problems when you have your own to muddle through, but you realize that it is you that God sent him/her to, and you manage to help.

March 25, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Assembling furniture may not be your type of thing but you have willing hands to help you today and the job is soon finished. Don't forget to express your appreciation and give credit where it is due. A good all around day for Aries. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Being the bull in the china shop could get you in hot water with someone special if you go bumbling around in the middle of other peoples problems. Taking care of your own will be a full time job today. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) The devil made you do it may be a valid excuse today as the "twin" half could be exactly what caused you to make the error that started all the fuss in the first place. Make your decisions firm today and stick to them. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Finishing up those projects today could be your main focus unless of course you are into do it yourself car repair in which case you will be very busy running down parts and operating on your vehicle. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Being the boss should not be as important as getting along with others on an equal basis is today. Bossy people are shunned by most and it is not conducive to a a longterm relationship. Take a deep breath and go out and have some fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You respond to someones need today and lend a helping hand, fortunately (?) this catches you in your goofy mood and keeps half the people roaring with laughter and the other half just roaring at you; all in good fun though. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You may be in a dead end job with no chance of advancement and have been searching for a new position with an upwardly mobile company. The offer you get today promises to be the way to go. A loved one is with you one hundred percent on your change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) It would be a good thing to keep a low profile today. At least until a certain person calms down. There could be some disquieting episodes at work but you handle them ith your usual tact and diplomacy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Be careful until your ship of fortune is tied firmly to the dock. No one knows your business better than you do. Assign key people to handle the parts that are running smoothly and you handle the rest.

Be cautious on the job today as there may be a few minor mishaps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Your love life should be noticeably picking up.

wow, mine was close for yesterday. i was in such a foul mood......snapped at everybody....

Sweetie, you have had a really rough week...You had every reason be snap. *hugs*

that's what happens when you change your syntax half way through a sentence... You had every reason to be snappy last week...I hope they all realized why.

Aries : It's the beginning of the Aries Birthday time, starting this week. Spring Equinox, the beginning of the astrological new year, the start of great things. The inception point for this whole new stuff thing. It's a great idea, and it looks really good on paper. But in Texas, even though it's supposedly "spring" time, it's beginning to look a little like summer according to some definitions, and that idea applies to you as well. Things are heating for Aries. Now, Mars is leaving this week, which should help improve your focus. You're not going to be quite as scattered as you have been. You're also going to feel a little tired at times, like there's just a little too much excitement going on right now. Reminds me of weekend when I was supposed to be "off." It started on Saturday morning, and the pressure never let up, folks coming and going, my front door should have been a a revolving door, and I wore out a pair of boots just trying to keep up. It's going to be like that for you this week. Relax? It's a great idea. Won't happen, though. Taurus : Slowly, surely, steadily, Mars makes an entrance in the Tropical Zodiac Sign of Taurus this week. Seemingly good, too. But appearances can be deceiving, and a little extra caution is urged this week. In fact, I should have some sort of Mars Refrain worked out by now. He's an active planet, and he's going to push you to excel this week. He's also going to start trying to finger your buttons. The buttons I'm referring to are the emotional ones. He's going to reach for every last little button that he sees, and he's going to try to fire off whatever he can. Better get used to this Martian energy, because it's a common theme for a little while. Sooner or later, you're going to feel like he's right there. All I can suggest is to move like Mars does, with a degree of stealth this week. Gemini : There are some days when "instant gratification" just takes too long. You've got a week which is filling up just like that. Now, the good news is that there is a group of some of your co-workers, associates and friends who are willing to get together and go play. This is an important concept right now. But the problem with an important concept like "play" is that it just doesn't happen fast enough for your tastes. And when you're dealing with a group of folks, not all of them are going to be Gemini, and the ones who ain't Gemini just don't get your need for speed. "There's an efficiency quotient in this, you know." Right, that means that you are moving at a typical Gemini rate, and the rest of the crowd is meandering along, and according to your definition, wandering around aimlessly. It's irritating, to say the least. Be patient with the rest of us this week. You'll get some of that instant gratification yet, but it won't be happening quite as fast as you like. Cancer : I like working with a chart like you've got this week. It's really a simple message. It involves one of your least favorite activities, unless you're involved a job that you really like. It's all about work this week. There is nothing else that is really peeking through the your own, personal heavens. I know that at least one dear Cancer Reader will write in and complain about this, but I'm just trying to stick the astrological basics as I understand them, and work is that central issue � this week. We'll be happy to discuss other options in another week, but this week, you need to plan on spending as much time as possible in your boat if your a fishing guide. The little problem right now, if you are a fishing guide, is that the usual places where you find work, that would be fishes, are going to have less than the usual yield. But concentration on this work related theme this week has some serious long term benefit. That's the point. Leo : Good times are right ahead. Good times and stupid people. Ever notice, no matter where you go, the most moronic of drivers seem to follow you there? I moved from North East Texas to Central Texas, and those drivers all seemed to follow me. I was visiting El Paso, and the drivers out there, obviously, weren't from there. I could tell by the number of drivers who didn't know how to drive. So you're going to get followed around by a lot of people this week who seem to be a little on the ignorant side. That's the polite way to put it. Of course, I've never been politically correct myself, I don't know why I should start now, but you're getting the idea... yes, they are following you. So you're feeling pretty good this week, and there are number of confrontations which present themselves to you. Instead of yelling at the person, instead of that one finger salute, try something a little different. Say a prayer. Pray for them. Pray that they find some brains and common sense soon. It's the best thing you can do, and you don't want to ruin your good attitude. Virgo : Things are getting better and better, moment by moment. Okay, for the Virgo who must have this measured correctly, it's getting better inch by friggin' inch. Got that? I was tempted to use the more pejorative term, "inch by bloody inch" but my attempts at an English accent get more and more tortured by every trip I take out west � West Texas � where the drawl is more pronounced. But you're getting the idea. Just like my accent gradually degrades into that lyric, southern, west Texas twang, your week gets better and better. Of course, these are incremental changes for the better so it's not like you're going to feel like that there are giant strides forward, and it's not like you're going to feel like it's necessarily a good time, but if you reflect back, look back over the last couple of days, you'll find that yes, indeed, my most excellent Virgo friend, it has been a good week. Changes, for the better, courtesy of Mars, are happening. Slowly, to be sure, but it's one of those things that takes time. Libra : There's a not so subtle shift in the planets this week. It's a harbinger of things to come in your little slice of the sky. There's a certain degree of ease at work which comes now. Maybe not not easiest, but the problems are quickly dealt with, and you can turn a stack of work into a series of slices for everyone else to deal with. In fact the works disappears as fast as a free pizza does around here at the office. No sooner does the delivery person show up, then there's a swarm of activity, like flies buzzing over a stinking road kill carcass, and then "poof" it's all gone. Maybe Rosalind said it best: "Alack! in me what strange effect/Would they work in mild aspect" As You Like It (IV.ii.74-5). So divvy up your work like free pizza this week, and watch it disappear. Alack, that's the strange effect. Scorpio : I can't seem to escape that Austin Sound for Scorpio, not this week. We're famous for music. There's a lot of it here. It's that special, sort of country, sort of rock, sort of blues, sort of tangy, sort of bittersweet, folk, acid, retro, post punk, alt country inspired stuff. So imagine that this week is like a song from an Austin Author, something about Lonesome Highway Blues, but add a fiddle and some decent electric guitar stuff, and then maybe you get some ideas. It's not all that bad, but you are going to be spending more than your share of the week spinning along your own, personal "lonesome highway." This isn't all bad. A lot of Scorpio's like to spend more than an inordinate amount of time solo. It seems to fit with their own personal definition of who they are. But when you start feeling like you've been alone just about long enough, you need to head on down that lonesome Scorpio highway. Don't worry about it. Let me know if you discover any genres of music that I've left out of your definition of music, too. Sagittarius : Have you ever been at the gym, reading a Wall Street Journal while walking on the treadmill? Or you've been on the Hike and Bike path, and there's some one beside you with a portable electronic device and ear bud speakers, but the music is cranked so loud, you can feel the bass? It's like one of my friend's car, he's got the trickest bass boomer in the trunk. Sort of hurts if he ever gets a flat because there wasn't any room for the spare tire, but you get the idea. This week is like that intrusion in your privacy. Now, you can do what any rational, straight shooting � forward thinking Sagittarius would do in this situation, you can rip that head phone off the guy's head, yank the ear buds out of her ears, swerve and force the offending car off the road. But these aren't good solutions. The easiest way to deal with intrusions in your space this week is to drop back. Don't accelerate because the other guy will think it's a race. It's not a good week to be competitive. Just let them pass, and your glorious silence will return. Advertising which fit with this scope: SEPTIC-HELPER 2000 is a blend of scientifically enhanced enzyme producing bacteria that act as a catalyst and helps speed up the degradation rate of organic waste. Capricorn : There is a certain ease and grace that is often associated with your sign, the sign of the Sea Goat. Okay, maybe some astrologers don't see this ease and grace that I'm talking about, but it's certainly there. And this is going to become more pronounced as the week flows by. Imagine nice, lyric poetry, and I'm not talking about something that comes violently out of a poetry "slam" either. This light and lyrical stuff is more like what you should aim for his week. Take your special message this week, and wrap it in flower strewn words, something that sounds just as nice as Pecan Pie. Maybe as sweet as Peach Cobbler with a big old double scoop of vanilla Ice Cream on top of it. You're going to be serving up some harsh information this week, but I'll trust you to put it in terms that seem equitable, sort of like "a la mode," which is the best way to serve this week. Personally, I really like it covered in Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, or like some of Amy's Mexican Vanilla. Aquarius : Every once in a while, we have to have a little talk about your propensity for escape behavior. There are little astrological triggers that come along and set this sort of thing off. Escape behavior can be blatantly obvious, something like a case or two of beer and a fishing boat. Being an Aquarius, though, you can get mighty sneaky about how you hide what you do for escape. I'm reminded of one Aquarius, under just such an influence, he managed to convince most of his neighbors that he was retiring from his office job, and he claimed to be a fishing guide therefore, all the time he spent fishing was work he was supposedly getting paid for. The message is clear, though, you've done the work, but you might not be getting paid for your efforts. Be careful about living in a fantasy world right now � leave that to an expert like myself. Pisces : According to some famous astrologers, every time a celestial object swaps signs, that means something big is happening, like a major shift in energy, and, as a Pisces, I'm sure you're aware of these changes in energy. "Sure. Can't miss it. Right on, buddy," you mutter to me. The sun leaves Pisces, and Mars leave Aries, and, for what it's worth, Mercury and Venus are firmly ensconced in Pisces. Sounds like a lot going on, and it is. In plain terms, Pisces are all stirred up by any number of minor things going on right now. The tricky part to remember that you are being tickled by any number of minor things. These ain't big things. Might be more like ticked off rather than tickled, too. But if you can overlook the minor and persistent irritations, you'll notice that the overall picture is big and bright right now. The hardest party of this week is putting yourself in a place where you can see how nice this time really is. (c) Copyright Kramer Wetzel 1999, 2000 http://www.astrofish.net

April Astrology Overview Astrology Overview: This month has a doubling effect because the only guy who is really firmly in apparent retrograde motion is Pluto. Venus makes tracks hauling herself through Aries this month, and by my calculations, she actually enters Taurus, around the very end of the month (closing minutes, photo finish). So the doubling effect is that we start out with three objects in Taurus at the beginning of the month and we get six in Taurus at the very tail end of the month. Saturn is also approaching a point where he does a tight little square dance with Uranus, and that's going to make for some interesting calls on the dance floor of life. At the beginning of the month a lot of planets are visible, right after sunset. Early in the month is the best time to see this, over yonder in the western sky. More information about how these planets will double up on you is available through the web site: http://www.astrofish.net Aries: This month doesn't kick off very well, but it sure does pick up speed in a hurry. There's a great example with Texas weather, for the longest time, the days are warm but not hot, the nights are cool, and one begins to get lulled into a place where it just feels like this is a very earthly paradise. Then, one day, the wind stops blowing, the clouds are no where to be seen, and it's just plain hot. The thermometer dances up close to a 100 degrees, and the wind which was so refreshing with its moisture just leaves a sodden, humid quality to it all. It's like a summer day in Houston. Or Dallas. It's not pretty. It's not nice. It's just plain hot and humid. At least it's a wet heat. It goes from paradise to something that closely approximates a sauna, almost over night. "Thank your lucky stars," I should say. This is due to Venus creeping into your sign. To be honest, she's making good time and hardly spends three weeks with you. But she does impart that sort of lazy attitude this month, that feeling that all you want to do is sit on the porch, in the shade, and watch the ice tea glass sweat. What's going to work this month is to make sure that you've got plenty of caffeine based ice, maybe throw a little honey in it too, and garnish it with a spring of mint which is growing on the patio. It tastes good, the sweetness rolls off you tongue, and the mint adds both color and flavor. You're going to need to make sure that Venus doesn't dehydrate you this month. Taurus: When the official time of "Taurus" gets here, you've got a boatload of heaven sent influences just rollicking through your sign. It's like living in a student ghetto -- student barrio in Texas -- and it's like your neighbors are having a party. Folks are hanging off the balconies, there is much yelling and screaming, and sometimes you hear a dull thud as a body slams into the the wall. It's all in good fun, and that's what's so important that you remember this month. All in good fun. Got that? Sure. It's easy to remember what it was like when you were wild and crazy, and now you've got the same thing happening in your life, only it's now next door, and.... and you get the idea, right? There's a party next door, and even though you think you should call the police, it would be ever so much more neighborly just to step outside, step over the couple mimicking a love scene in a movie, step over the bodies, and politely ask them to tone it down. Duck as a beer bottle comes flying out of the door. That's the trick. That's the idea. This is brought on by a number of planets in your sign, and I'll promise the planets are going to make it so you get a lot less sleep than you feel like you need this month. And there's no rest in sight. But instead of joining the party, it might be a good time to just pull a pillow over your head. Mars is causing irritations, and he's going to act as a little trigger all month long -- determined to make you lose your cool. With all the influences swimming around you right now, that's not a good idea. Gemini: At the risk of invoking one too many cliches and having my license pulled, I'll just warn you straight up: it's always darkest before the storm. That's how the expression goes, isn't it? In practical experiences, there's an eerie calm which settles in right before the first of the rain drops fall. That's what this month is like, that quiet time, that moment when the wind stops whipping everything around, that moment when the sky is full of dark rain clouds, and it's so bleak even some of the automatic porch lights are coming on. There's been a ferocious howl, during the first part of the month, and you were trying to yell over the noise of the wind -- other peoples' voices -- and now it's dead calm. Frightening, isn't it? A Gemini stuck in a vacuum like this a scary thought to begin with. Now add some silence to that, and it gets worse. There's going to be a great, torrential downpour. The little creek will become a swollen, raging torrent. The high water mark will be reached in a hurry. Now, I wouldn't warn you about all this without some consolation. Starting early NEXT month, there is relief. For right now, though, an umbrella, a slicker, a duster, highwater boots, and some waterproof matches would serve you best. The worst part of this preparation is that your friends are all going to see nothing but sunny skies, all month long. Cancer: Crank up the tunes! It's time for you to host some kind of a party. I don't much care what the theme is, and I don't much care where it is, although, that Cancer patio and deck space is looking like it might just be the best place to have some fun. In fact, a little time in the Cancer Hot Tub would even be better. That's a good idea, if you know what I mean. It's warm, it's relaxing, the nights are going to be cool enough that you can enjoy the time in the tub, just you, and about 83 of your closest friends. That's the idea. Instead of worrying about all the stuff which is flying around right now, take a little time, especially early in the month, to ease yourself down in the hot tub and gaze up at the heavens. Of course, I know one Cancer in Houston who can't see the stars, but for the rest of us Cancer types, a relaxing soak in hot water is bound to ease the aching muscles. There's a little knot of tension, right there, below your neck and in the center of you back that needs some extra attention. Try to get one of the water jets to sooth that, and see if it helps. Water therapy, and not the kind my sister tried on me, is the best thing. ("Hold his head under the water until he relaxes," she said.) Leo: If you like to play the odds, then you're going to find that most of this month is a good bet. There are few little bumps, but those come at the very end of the month. Thinking about moving? Now you see why I always recommend "premanufactured mobile dwelling units" as a superior home base lifestyle. This is month when there's lots of stuff shaking loose, and as long as everything is in turmoil, considering hooking the trailer up to the truck and motoring off to another location is always a good idea. I'll even give you a bigger hint: the move this month isn't nearly as drastic as you think. There's a Leo here in Shady Acres Trailer park, and when this happened to him, he just hitched his trailer up and moved it across the park. From one parking spot to another. Didn't really change that much. In fact, he's now got free electricity. But I wouldn't report him to anyone about that. The good lord helps them who are wiling to help themselves. The trick is to make sure that you don't get caught. And make sure that this is an amicable move. This isn't like one of those tricks I used to pull, up and move, no forwarding address, and a few bills left unpaid... nope, don't use my style, do it in fine Leo style. I'll be t this one isn't near as big as you think. Virgo: I'm pretty unpopular with a large number of Virgo's; however, these same Virgo's tend to read my stuff whenever it comes out, if only to pick all apart. I believe that's a form of endearment in some Virgo worlds. This month really isn't too rough at all. There's an annoying characteristic that's going to make you a little lazy at work. I know that you usually charge into work, like madman on sixteen cups of coffee, but that's not the case with this month. You will spend a lot of this month casually sauntering into work, perhaps a few hours late, and not really concerned. There's a certain air about you, and when your boss, employer, supervisor or client drops a load of work on your desk, I'll bet your on the phone with a juicy bit of gossip, and you just can't be bothered by their deadline. I tend to agree with you on this issue, if they needed it yesterday, they should have brought it to you last week. While that's an obvious truism in life, and while you and I certainly understand this, I'm afraid the work environment is going to be less understanding. Try to do your Virgo best to understand the immediacy of their problems. Do like I do when this happens, "Oh no! I'm swamped! But look, I'll put it up as my number one priority." The real understanding is that I first have to get a new high score on this game, but then I'll get to it. You understand. Libra: Fortunately, you've got the wonderful ability to take a long range look at this month. There's a little problem with big problems, though, or is that there's a big problem with little problems? And the problems come from a quick pass by the sometimes dynamic duo of Mercury and Venus. Ultimately, this is a good thing. It's just that this month gets all sort of little unexpected and minor bumps. It's like taking a left when you should have taken a right, only to find that you have to back track a little in order to get where you're going. Of course, a good Libra will realize that a degree of patience is required at this time. And that's easy for a Sagittarius astrologer to suggest, but it's sometimes difficult to put all this in action. Venus and Mercury will bring about some good changes, but I doubt that these will all be comfortable. Doesn't mean it's bad, just be careful about them fixed signs this month. And you might want to use the beneficial aspect of this Mercury and Venus influence to examine some of the far flung ideas you've had, make sure that you've got a solid foundation before embarking on some idea that "seemed really good at the time." Scorpio: At the beginning of the month, I'll give you a hint, get a head start on this on this whole Taurus thing that's going on. Try to see this as a time when the spot light, like a Las Vegas spotlight, is going to be shining on some other part of the zodiac. That doesn't mean that the fine hand of a Scorpio doesn't play into this month's scenario, but be prepared to let some one else have the Center Ring in your own three ring circus. By doing so, you can still be the Master of Ceremonies, but for most of this month, the attention is going to be drawn towards your performers. Sit back and let the others be the center of attention. I realize that this might not sit well with your digestive tract, but work with the details, the performers can't move with out your capable stage direction, that's true, but for the moment, and this moment might last all month, you need to let the directions which you've sketched out, you need to let your instructions and commands be interpreted by the players. If all the world is a stage, then realize that Scorpio's make the best directors. And remember, a good director knows when to let the players play their parts. Sagittarius: Some folks will write about love for this month. Some folks will spin great tales about how that long lost love finally returns to your arms. Some folks will suggest that it is a wonderful time for romance. I'm not one of those people. It is a good time for certain things in your life, but I'm disinclined to believe that romance is the way to go. The only good thing about the romance stuff is that it leads to a time when you might be inclined to look into the Romantic Period. It was over two hundred years ago. Some of that poetry, some of the stuff which emerged from then, that might be more appropriate for this time. There's a certain sense of style, an air about it all which is important. It's structured, it's epic in scope, and that's just the way you feel, too. "Structured?" you ask. Yes, my fine Sagittarius friend, there's a need for a few rules in your life right now. A few guidelines. And that's why I was suggesting the particular era from literature. You could use a little bit of guidance right now. It's like an alarm clock, and it's like getting orders from headquarters, you need to follow what the rules say, this month. I know that goes against your basic nature, but try to stay within the lines this month. It's better and you can turn out some really fine poetry while doing so. Capricorn: Things go from bad to worse to much, much better as the month gets longer. The closer we all get to the big deal coming up, the better you're going to feel. As Venus flies through Aries, along with Mr. Mercury, you're going to get little ripples in the tide pool of life that make this whole mess of a month feel like it's all going downhill at an alarming rate. Then there's a change, a subtle shift, and suddenly those ripples look like giant swells, only, your ruling planet (that was voted to be Saturn) is lending you some serious surf fishing tackle. You move from feeling like a fool who thinks he's a wise guy, to feeling like a wise person who knows he is a fool. I'll bet the original attribution for that quote (Socrates) was a Capricorn. The trick is to employ that wonderful, albeit dry, sense of Capricorn humor to deal with the foolish intransigence of others this month. There's a difference between a wise fool, and foolish fool. Hide it behind your humor, but plan for the month turning out for the best. We will be laughing with you. Just realize that there are some signs which are not as adaptable as you are. Placate their stubborn feelings, and it's best, especially this month, if you laugh at it all. Aquarius: As much as I was hoping that this Y2K thing would pay off in a good way, it just hasn't done what I was hoping for. The IRS didn't lose my records from last year. Nor did they forget about me, either. Seems that they have a good record of what is going on. Turns out that they didn't lose any of the important data in the big crash of Y2K. In the same way, you've got a similar gambit going, and you were hoping that something important, perhaps some fairly incriminating evidence, would all get lost in the shuffle. This is a month -- thanks to Saturn and Uranus doing their calls -- when you some how get shuffled to the top. You were betting that you would get shuffled off and ignored, regrettably, it isn't the way it's going to play out. There's a little bit of trouble back to haunt you. It's like confidently handing your driver's license to the officer, and then he steps back to the highway patrol car, just to check. In a fit of pique, you wonder, "There isn't anything I've forgotten, is there?" You might want to check some of this out ahead of time to prevent any problems this month. I always worry about that one traffic ticket in Harris County (Houston) but it hasn't showed up in over three years now. Pisces: The month begins with a feeling like you've just awakened from a terrible dream. The problem with the astrological source of this dream is that you can't seem to put your finger on just what it was that you were dreaming. There's a certain cartoon character who always had the most evocative monsters under his bed. You're going to spend part of this month worried about those creatures which you can see, but no matter what you do and how hard you try, you can't draw us a picture of the monsters. At one point, you're going to be sure that you see them, and you're going to get that quizzical adult look from some of your friends as they roll their eyes and just shake their heads. Between you and me, I know that you're not crazy. However, the planet's are in a position where your tales of fantasms in the night aren't going to be well received. Careful about who you try to convince that you're not a few bricks shy of a full load. Part of this month, you need to spend some time explaining that, yes, your elevator does go to the top floor, it just doesn't always stop there.

You should learn to live and let live. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) When people cooperate with you today learn to show your appreciation in approiate ways. Don't lose contact with those that have helped you in the past as they may also be helpful in future situations, by remaining in contact you are not termed a "user".

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today your relationships will take on more importance and meaning for you, especially your relationships to the opposite sex.

April 4, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Don't hang around places that your conscious tells you that you should not be there. Heed your inner voice today if you would keep yourself out of controversial situations. A good day for quiet, private pursuits. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Some good news from a distant relative makes you very happy today as things are turning out just as you had prayed they would. Give some extra attention to the family today, if you have one, or friends if you do not. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You can't close your eyes to trouble and condone certain actions one day and jump on the person the next time for the same offense. That is no way to teach someone under your charge or care. Doing so can cause a loss of re- spect and esteem in that persons eyes. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Have a care today when interacting with family or friends as they are not much inclined to give you sympathy when you pout or sulk. Put those feelings from you and, like my dear old Mum use to say, "hold your head up if you die hard and grin and bear it". LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Lions should guard against the traits of all for self today, (most of you have overcome this since childhood), and think and work of and for the good of others. A way to do this is to work to help the underprivileged in your area. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The thoughtful acts you have performed for others lately will long be remembered by those who know you well. You are a good example of a caring individual. Don't let your criticism get you in trouble with someone you love. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) The job that you gave up everything for and left town to take is working out well for you. Soon you will be able to purchase your new home and send for your loved ones. Making new friends is easy for you as people naturally lean on you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) As a Scorpio your well recorded 'drives' will be channeled in the direction of your work, and accomp- lishing the goals that you have set for yourself. With unswerving attention to the job at hand you make great strides in that direction today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A wandering eye will not get you into trouble today, as long as it is only your eye that wanders! If you step over the line today the repercussions could reach all the way to the divorce court and that is a big price to pay for a little bit of fun. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Having friends is about one of the most important aspects of life...but, you have to be a friend to have one. When your friend needs some help from you, and it is something that you can do or af- ford, you are honor bound to help out as much as possible. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Trying to be Earth Mother or Universal Father to everyone you meet that is in need will soon drain both you and your resources; learn where to call a halt. You can do this by taking a more logical approach rather than always leading with your heart, (or your chin). PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Putting yourself in an awkward situation today may be easier that you think; open mouth, insert foot, (hello, toes!). Be careful what you say today and who you say it to, make no promises that you are not dead bang sure that you will keep.

this is a true statement (gemini) and one i can be found guilty of. luckily, the pisces AM takes care to make sure i'm aware of the fact that i do this. and yes, he also sticks the foot in the mouth during this process. and he did make a promise to me, let's see if he keeps it *wink*

Anyone feeling like grabbing and posting today's 'scope (what a delegator, right?).

April 5, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You may not think a certain person is listening when you offer your helpful advice today but they really are. You would be surprised at how much your views are respected about this matter. You have changed a life and may never know it. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A good day to go over the family finances with your spouse. Don't get sidetracked as you need to iron out some of the more nagging problems that keep cropping up for your two. Don't forget how well it works to compromise; a miracle of negotiation! GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Todays relationship developments with a loved one may not be all that you had hoped for and you have decided to call it quits. Talking a with friend is a welcome outlet for your pent up emotions because you can tell a trusted friend when you can't tell to anyone else. CANCER (June 22-July 22) The less you worry the better things will be, dwelling on problems have a way of drawing that very thing or action into your life.

Take heart you are only there for eight hours. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Try to save a little time alone for yourself today. You will find that as you treat people that is the way they will treat you in kind; the old golden rule still works. Pointing a finger at others causes four of your own fingers to point back at you. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Stick with your usual plans for your business practices and making new goals for yourself that you are able to meet. Financial arrangements should work out in your favor today. Try not to go too deep into debt.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Don't let yourself become aggravated with someone today be- cause in your state of tiredness and nerves you will not be able to control the harsh words that you will both regret.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Be careful how you verbalize your feelings today as others will be super sensitive, but not to your own particular personal problems, and why add loss of friendships to your burden? Things take a turn for the better in the evening. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You are the type to bounce back on your feet in the face of adversity and loss so that the losses are kept at a minimum. There is nothing you like better than a chal- lenge, unless of course, it is overcoming a problem. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Getting everything necessary taken care of early today has given you a much appreciated breather from the pres- sures of your day. This would be a good day to put that spare time to some good rest and relaxation. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Getting used to a new job will take some time so don't expect miracles right off the bat from an employee who may be having some difficulties at this time, and even though you wish too help, you are only able to point this person in the right direction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) At this late date, the issue of moving should be put on the shelf until after income tax season just to be sure the move will not do you in financially. Career decisions you make now could have lasting effects. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Best to avoid people for most of the day that does not seem to have their head on straight.

April 8, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) As we approach the millennium you will find your psychic powers increasing your awareness to a point of practically reading other peoples minds.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Financial meetings and business associates will demand most of your time today as you get everything prepared for your debut on the web with your very own business.

An in- tended move is best handled today when you will be able to find many willing hands to help you out. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Try stating right out what you can and cannot do, or will or will not, as this clears the air for you to move for- ward with your life and your ambitions. Making promises you can't keep just to restore the peace would be the worse thing you could do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A day of problems that you could probably have done with- out but, you must cope and cope you do. Employees could be a source of irritation for you. You could be in for a 'Peyton Place' type of situation if you let them go unchecked. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your new business is off to a flying start but you are going to have to get more organized with record keeping. Advice is cheap today so be sure you examine it well be- fore you take it as gospel and go with it; you have some good ideas of your own, use them well. Copyright 2000 by Pulse Direct, Inc.

April 11, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your energy levels aren't as high as they might be and you would rather stay at home because the situation at work has gotten so out of hand that you are afraid that conflicts will erupt which you don't feel up to right now. At present you are more apt to criticize, which doesn't make you especially popular with your colleagues or with your boss. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today the opportunity is greater for making new friends. Relationships with those close to you are likely to be more harmonious and so this is a good time to engage in social activities, particularly at your home.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Your sexual energy may be higher than usual. You might be drawn to others as you do not want to feel isolated. Any- one with whom you counsel with is a strong candidate. However, try not to overdo the need to appease certain people. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today can initiate a struggle between the conscious will and the spiritual will. Try to get in touch with your higher self and create a balance with your conscious will. Above all, be honest, consistent and humble as the situation demands. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This could be a day of some contrast. One moment things seem OK, but the next, they are turned around creating confusion and uncertainty. Others may see some of your statements as idealistic perceptions that are impractical. Certain in- dividuals are prone to manipulation and it induces a greater self-deception, either by yourself or others. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Conflicts can develop which you may not be able to handle. It may be that you tend to escape in daydreams and feel like you need to "numb" yourself. But don't panic, if you have never had problems with drugs or alcohol, you aren't going to develop any now. This is merely a description of a general tendency. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Generally one can say that your present perspective tends to exclude others. If that is true you should withdraw today and devote yourself to studying Astrology or some other type of alternative science which serves to provide insights into oneself. Grant your body a day of rest. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) At this point your will and life energy will meet up with your emotional world and you will find out to what extent your ambitions are in tune with your feelings. You will have a few days to check out your subliminal emotional level. But never fear, this is not anything Earth shat- tering. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Other people may confront you in order to test your comfort level between your inner character and outer temperament. Many different kinds of events may occur, but if your self- esteem and self-awareness is sufficient, you are unlikely to experience conflict with others. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You may find yourself taking part in some public or family affairs. Within such a group, you could play a leading role. This is an important time for cooperative matters. There is also a possibility that you will encounter an individual that can assist in furthering your spiritual growth. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You should feel good today, both psychologically and physically. This combines to form a renewed optimism, greater cheer and humor.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today strong ego powers are at work. These could be useful for a new project and should be put to constructive use. Physically you are in good shape and should engage in some type of physical activity to avoid becoming nervous and edgy because this can lead to senseless arguments

April 12, 2000 - Wednesday ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A time to use restraint, particularly if your inner desires have a tendency to be in conflict with your ego. Today is a test of how you project your motivations. Therefore, people will enter your life, or events are likely to occur, that will test this validity. If assertion is called for, it should only be used when absolutely necessary. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) As always, a loving assertion is far better than any irate over-assertion. If necessary, channel excessive physical energies through exercise. Meditate or exercise to obtain a balance between the mind, body and spirit. Martial arts and Tai chi are an excellent exercise. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Being overwhelmed by your own energy, you feel nervous and edgy as circumstances prohibit their adequate expression. It may be that you are too concentrated on yourself. It would be nice if you would take part in communal activities and place some of your excess energy at the disposal of friends and family. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today you are feeling great and are looking out at the world optimistically. Everything you have to do today will be a success because it is just that kind of day. Things will center around expansion today. At the mom- ent you probably want to do something extraordinary and are dreaming about exotic places. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Today should prove interesting in experiencing new adventures and new friends. Such activities can be enlightening and exciting, which could lead to some creative changes in your lifestyle or immediate environment. This could invoke an intellectual, or feeling free, influence. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today you should get out and do something completely averse to your usual style, because you are ready for it. This is just the kind of thing which is needed. It should remind you that the positive and unexpected things in life are there to be enjoyed. Flexibility should be the motto. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you generally make a positive impression on every- body making it easy for others to get along with you. Spend the evening in pleasant company and watch out that you don't show your conceit, although today no one will hold it against you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You have your own variety of "healthy egotism" and you could meet up with influential people who will support you. This will enable you to approach your work with plenty of confidence whereby you won't hide your light under a bushel. This radiance will help you make an impression at public appearances. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Physical activity is advised in order to channel height- ened physical energies. Your desires and conscious will are more in harmony at this time, so you should be able to work well with other people. Although your assertive- ness will be strong, it is unlikely that you want to become aggressive or agitated. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You may be subjected to a test of your confidence or that which motivates you. Improper motives may be challenged, yet proper motives will be reinforced. A challenging ef- fect could be felt if you have been holding back on doing something. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) This could be a day of high mental energy with lots of talking or writing. The interchange with most people should be quite successful. Any important ideas that you have will be presented with greater clarity. This is a good time to perform an audit on your activities and goals. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Are changes necessary and do you need to enlist the assistance of others? Unless contradicted elsewhere, this is a good time for negotiating favorable deals and travel.

April 13, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your imagination and inspiration is likely to be more active. There could be feelings of empathy which you might not even recognize if the energies you absorb are melded with your own psyche. If possible, try to avoid taking drugs or alcohol for a day or so. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) The event or experience in which your emotions are revealed in public is more likely during this day. Of course, it is far better that such emotions are well received, so if you have a tendency to react, try to be more responsible for your emotions. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) This can be a time when your feelings are more aroused concerning social issues. You may not be aware of the significance of such changes, but others may. Some individuals may act in a more unconventional manner, wanting to know the truth about the feelings of someone else. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today your creativity and loving way of caring about people will be emphasized. Although you appreciate being the center of attention, you don't just take, but also like to give. Today you should be feeling great and be getting a lot of attention especially from members of the opposite sex. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) At times, certain unconscious feelings may surface that causes you to act in a more secretive manner, in order to hide certain feelings from others. This occurs if you sense that others will not accept you if they found out. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Certain feelings of nostalgia may have a focus during these few days. If this is so, it is a good time to meditate in order to get in touch with such feelings as to why they are so strong. On the other hand, you may want to simply relax in the quite of your home. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is a time when you may discuss and explore the deeper emotional needs of you and your partner. This may occur due to a variety of reasons, from a desire to be closer or because of some conflict. The overall goal here is essentially to enhance the balance in a relationship. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You should have a heightened sense of good feelings during this day. This might extend to an avoidance of adventure or serious activities, in preference for being comfortable in a nurturing environment. You are more likely to seek warm, affable people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you will need to exercise some degree of care with your level of physical work. There may be little gains made with a lot of effort. You will also need to exercise some degree of patience, particularly if you have been accumulating any stress or frustration with your job, home or relationships. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You may experience an emotional period when you feel noticeably in tune with the life around you. As such, you are more able to become emotionally involved in what you are doing. This is a great time to naturally get in touch with your deepest feelings, perhaps through meditation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Contact with other people are favored today, especially members of the opposite sex. This is because you are more at ease. Therefore, it is a good time to engage in social activities, particularly within the home. Your feelings and vitality are in greater harmony, so you should be able to perform a little better than usual. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You can be vulnerable to emotional upheavals that threaten or test your inner security. Avoid trying to control some- one else's emotions.

Some new friends or romance is possible. Your popu- larity can be enhanced. With this kind of flow, it is a good time to patch up any outstanding difficulties in any relation- ship, but only if you remain conscientious and open. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your spirited mind will stimulate your imagination allowing you to catch on to, or express ideas. The freedom side wants to balance individuality against the expectations and needs of others. Creative changes in lifestyle and in your im- mediate environment can be initiated at this time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Just because you are good at convincing others that you are able to handle everything, doesn't make it true. Sometimes you may seem arrogant and act too spontaneously because you are too sure of yourself. Even if you find it difficult, it is important to allow other people enough space or one day you will pay the price. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You may be confronted by people who challenge your objectives in the outer world. Conflicts with others may arise, especially with managers or those in author- ity.

April 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A time of transitory introspection, inhibition, or even depression if you are not sufficiently in touch with your feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is a time that may test your feelings of independence. You may feel that some people are trying to clip your wings. Some of these transits may invoke a reaction towards some form of philosophy, or even invite questions. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This may be a good time to withdraw into the personal security of being alone with a close friend or lover. This is because you may over react to the emotional influences of the outside world. Within your personal space, get in touch with your emotions. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is a time to take care that you do not overreact emotionally to others, particularly with women. The conscious will of the Sun confronts the emotions depicted by the Moon. Thus your actions could be over- active if there is insufficient balance between your emotions and your conscious will.

Before reacting, try to determine if you are just more sensitized. Meditate on loving kindness. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You should be more cheerful and generous right now. Cooperation with others is easier and perhaps you feel like being with close friends. This transit can assist in providing a greater understanding of other people.

This transit could indicate some extravagance, so take care with purchases and food or drink that you take. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) This may be a good time to withdraw into the personal security of being alone with a close friend or lover. This is because you may over react to the emotional influences of the outside world. Within your personal space, get in touch with your emotions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you could encounter difficulties if you work towards realizing your personal goals without re- gard to its effect on others. If your ego gets to be too big, others will make sure you pay the price for it. Even if you have a lot of self confidence at the moment. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) If your desires and conscious will are in balance, you should be able to work towards objectives and work well with your peers and those in authority. This is also a time to re-assert any position of authority that you have, both personally and/or with certain people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Through cooperation, high energy and the joy you bring to work, you can serve as an example to your co-workers. You have the potential to take on pro- jects which you have been wanting to do for a long time. Then you will stand behind your activities completely. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) At present you have unbelievable energy reserves at your disposal. It should not be difficult for you to assert yourself or at least prevent yourself from being exploited or oppressed. If you don't give your energies free reign at the cost of others, there shouldn't be any problems within your group.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You may have some confusion or unpredictable experiences today so try to test understanding and appreciate where others are coming from. If assertion is called for, it should only be used when absolutely necessary. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) As always, a loving assertion is far better than any irate over-assertion. If necessary, channel excessive physical energies through exercise. If you are only out to assert your ego, people will avoid you and you will end up feeling dissatisfied. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Make sure that you get a chance to relax. That would help you because if you let your relationships get too intense, conflicts can develop which you may not be able to handle. It may be that you need some time to yourself today. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today you should get out and do something completely averse to your usual style, because you are ready for it. This is just the kind of thing which is needed for you to fulfill your goals. It should remind you that the positive and unexpected things in life are there to be enjoyed. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your vitality is likely to be higher than usual today. This is a good time to assess your activity in certain projects and goals. Those that are not worth pursuing may need to be re-structured or abandoned. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today is a good day to confide in others, and therefore you will communicate with others more than usual, while doing your best to avoid stress. Seeing your position clearly helps you to explain it to others. You work better because you have no problems drawing on your power of concentration. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Todays conflict emanates from someone in authority, and you may perceive this individual as misusing their power. It is important to remain calm and diplomatic. You may also be tested on some past event, or the reliability of a mechanical device. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The opportunity to act on personal desires may need some self-control. Thus, you will benefit from the assistance of others. Your desires and conscious will are in balance, so you should be able to work well with other people. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today strong powers are at work which could be useful for a new project. At the moment you are having a lot of good ideas for using them. Your own physical energy is abundant and it would be a shame if it wasn't adequately expressed. You are not just concerned with asserting yourself so others will enjoy working with you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Disruptions are possible today, whether they are mechanical breakdowns, restrictions or disagreements. A few people may be accident prone, but it is important to know that we create accidents, they don't just happen. The reason may be obscure but you can find the answer within yourself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) If you think that the offer from a friend to do something unusual today doesn't fit in with your usual way of doing things, then think twice before declining, because inside you crave to break off with conventions. Be aware that this is all about flexibility. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) The kind of experiences that you may be subjected to today can depend on a variety of factors. Events that occur tend be either a test, or, an initiating energy designed to invoke change. Today your daily exercise run might take you into a new romance.

All infringements of this copywrite will be pursued to the limits of the law. Hit "Refresh" or "reload" on your browser if date is not current. ARIES (Mar. 21- April 19) Your emotions can be a little more forceful during this brief transit. Because of this, you may be more self-centered, which can lead to some difficulties in relationships. On the other hand, if you are in touch with your emotions and your self esteem is high, there should not be any significant stress or emotional challenge. Your dreams could help you through what may prove to be a worrisome week. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) For a brief moment, you may experience impulsiveness, irritability, or irrational feelings. It is as if you seem more prone to take offense and become easily frustrated. Try not to over react, and if you do, cool down and calm your feelings, don't forget to appologize while you are at it. Meditate on your dreams this week as you may come up with some surprises!. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your emotional feelings are likely to be heightened in a comfortable way. Being around people who possess a certain degree of emotional sensitivity should make you feel contented. This company is more likely to be of the opposite sex, who will find you more responsive during this brief transit. Dreams are fuzzy and not too informative. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) One of the common effects of this transit is a light dose of paranoia. You seem sensitive as to whether people like you, or feel guilty or inferior in some way. If you are experiencing a longer term emotional transit, this brief transit could initiate the vulnerability that leads to tears. Avoid drugs and alcohol! Pay close attention to your dreams as they are vivid this week. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You could be a little more erratic, eccentric or rebellious during this week. This may be due to the fact that your mind is quicker than usual, which could result in some impatience. Feelings of de ja vue can occur during this this week. You should be able to interact well with others. Your dreams will keep you entertained for the week. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Although much will depend on your general emotional state, your emotions should be working well with your physical energy. If your feelings are already well integrated with that of your conscious mind, your relationship with other people should be congenial. Your physical vitality may be suffering. As such, avoid surgery or excessive use of that part of the body which is ruled by your natal Sun sign. Pay attention to a dream about midweek, it could answer your question. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) This rather brief transit could be marked by some individual, perhaps a woman, who seems to be working at cross purposes. It is not as though this individual is deliberately antagonizing you, the universe is simply presenting a challenge. It could be that you need to apply the necessary patience and attention. Avoid becoming impulsive and illogical. Dreams are of a precognitive nature. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) During this time, your attention may be focused on items of a personal nature and the things that you value. You may find yourself becoming more involved in discussions concerning one's sense of values. If Mercury is under stress in this house, you should defer most forms of purchases. This is because your mind may not be clear of all of the necessary facts. Your dreams can lead the way to success if you meditate on them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Your mind could be directed towards business around the home, so communication with others may be dulled somewhat. You may have nostalgic thoughts regarding certain events. As your thoughts are directed inwardly, it could be a good time to link past conditioning to your present situation. You may experience a more vivid past life under hypnosis. Pay attention to your dreams as one may introduce you to your guardian angel. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Your mind could be directed more towards recreational activities this week such as games and entertainment. Your communication may even be more direct than usual, so be careful that you do not tell it too much "like it is," and offend other peoples' sensitivity. Be sure to maintain a listening ear to people, and avoid over projecting your thoughts. A few good dreams that you will be able to remember. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) This week is a good time to test understanding with partners and close friends regarding any matter at hand. The benefits not only provide the balancing energy of this house, but also stimulates your mind in a conducive manner. Negotiations are also favored, as are contracts, providing you keep a cool head during the process. Your dreams may give you a good stock market tip. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Inner reflection and the acquisition of deeper truths are sometimes prominent this week. Intellectual research and conversations can have a ponderous effect with you. In any event, the transformation of thoughts and ideas can provide for further growth if you are open minded enough. Your dreams are intuitive this week so pay close attention. http://www.astrology-online.com/horo.htm

Guess I won't be posting those weeklies anymore...I just read the comment at the top and I don't want to be raided...

Business around the home, I'm heading to my rent house right now. I'll have to read the rest of Spring from there.

The Quail house that is, trouble brewing. Situation.

Fingers crossed for you, Terry...sending beams and good vibes of Aloha and peace. Keep us posted. I worry about you!

It's sorting itself out ok so far, you already know because we talked on dialpad a bit ago.

Yes...I am much relieved to know that. Make that little room into a chapel or library...gotta change the vibes in there!

Yep, well, we'll just take our time and make a good pick.

Good. It must be very difficult to figure out what is inside the character of new renters...

April 20, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Generally, there can be a need to project your sense of will unheeded, often in the form of recreation and pleasure. How- ever, it is important that you maintain your sense of duty. This is a good time to meditate in order to get in touch with your deepest feelings. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Due to a natural charge of energy at this time, the opport- unity exists to succeed more easily than at other times. This does not imply that you should ignore your limitations and abilities, for if you are misguided on this, you will quite likely fail. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A slight unpredictable event can occur, which can place a snag in your plans. You may feel some level of guilt, or have your conscience nudge you. This can be a time of constructive change. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your feelings can be a little more intense and energized right now. You may feel like watching a mystery movie, or perhaps discussing something related to the mysterious and supernatural. An unusual event may occur that colors your perception. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may unconsciously stir certain feelings in someone else. Be sensitive to the emotional needs of others, and if neces- sary, be consistent. Try to be aware of being too accepting. This is also a great time to socialize. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You should have a heightened sense of good feelings today. This might extend to an avoidance of adventure or serious activities, preferring to be comfortable in a nurturing environment. You are more likely to seek warm, affable people who will find you responsive. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Take care that you do not engage in certain excesses. This should not be a difficult day, but there can be the occasional conceited, cocky or vain mannerism shown. Only make promises when you know you can keep them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Sympathetic feelings and greater affection are typical for today. This, together with having a more cheerful manner will favor the entertaining of others in your home. New experiences and perceptions arise. A sense of wanting to get involved in some new venture may occur. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) This is also a good time to work on any unresolved area of your emotional life, as you should be more accepting of being able to validate and address such issues. You could feel the need to become emotionally involved in what you are doing right now. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A moment of extroversion. For an hour or two, you could project your emotions more prominently. Much of how today goes depends on the extend to which you can normally handle your emotions. The greater your ability to deal with your emotions, the more you will be able to relate to the feel- ings of others. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may experience an emotional period when you feel notice- ably in tune with the life around you. As such, you are more able to become emotionally involved in what you are doing. This is a time to naturally get in touch with your deepest feelings, perhaps through meditation. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You may feel extravagant and a little proud today. Portray honest feelings, and only make promises when you know you can keep them. Harmonious feelings and greater affection are yours for the asking. You might feel more nurturing and even consider some redecoration. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is often a time when you can readily project yourself well within some group or family circle. You should feel close to certain individuals today and enjoy some joint activity. If you are ready, and other factors support it, you will likely encounter an individual that can assist in furthering your spiritual growth. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today you have something to confide and therefore will communicate more than usual. You can see your position clearly and explain it understandably to others. You will work effectively because you have no problem draw- ing on your power of concentration. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Because you may be prone to egotism and should watch out especially that your colleagues and your boss aren't taken back. Don't be too demanding, but always be aware of the value of your skills. It may be best to stay in the background and put off impending decisions. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Financial matters are also favored, either negotiating or finalizing outstanding deals. You will gain great satisfaction in beautifying or enhancing your immediate environment as well. Today you are feeling great, which has something to do with the charming way you treat members of the opposite sex. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Generally one can say that your present perspective of reality tends to exclude others. If that is true, then you should withdraw for today and devote yourself to the study of Astrology or another kind of alternative science, which will bring you insights. Grant your body a day of rest. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) As the center of attention, you treat everyone especially affectionately. Go to the theater or a concert, buy your- self something nice. Today you won't be prone to overdo things. This would be a good day for a party, where you can meet people in a relaxed atmosphere. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) If this is a day in which the plans of other people conflict with yours, it is likely that you are being tested. Often, the conflict emanates from someone in authority, and you may perceive this individual as misapplying their power. It is important therefore, to remain calm and diplomatic. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) This is a good day to break some of the veils between physical reality and the greater reality in order to gain some spiritual understanding. You sensitivity and sense of altruism will be higher than usual. Certain empathic feelings may also be experienced. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today your family and home environment will be a source of strength to you. Recognition of the value of a plea- sant home may motivate you to visit your parents. The search for the warmth of trusted people stifles your desire to appear in front of large crowds or to brag at work to attract attention to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Probably this is a great time to assert yourself against competition or to call attention to your strengths, al- though you prefer to sit back and observe what's going on. Maybe you will get close to your family and go on an outing together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Today you will need to exercise some degree of humility so as not to allow your thinking to dominate a situation. By eing receptive and compromising, you will be able to work better with others. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) If this is a day in which power struggles arise, or a breakdown in a relationship occurs, it is possible that you have insufficient balance in these areas. It is important therefore, to understand the nature of this, rather than allow some unwise action to impede your growth.

Hmmmm. Not very relevant today.

Mine has lately...amazing! How did they know?! And the men also involved had theirs played out with the transit negativity for one and support from the other one. Excellent results all round for me. Got something settled which should have been settled a year ago or longer...!

Good!

...Yup! It will not easily go away, however; we "discussed" it heatedly last night about time to go to sleep and was not a fun time. The guy has lousy timing, but he is making me more and more independent of need to have him around. Who needs the aggravation. Life is too short!

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) The reason may be obscure, and it might be necessary to consult a psychic or an astrologer to understand the bigger picture of why certain events occur. An even better way is to find the answer within yourself, as we all have the ability to tap into a greater consciousness of understanding. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) With meditation and inner understanding, you will gain much insight. Your inspiration is also likely to be more active as a result. This is a good day to break some of the veils between physical reality and the greater reality in order to gain some spiritual under- standing. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) During the course of the day you should receive plenty of opportunity to stock up on positive karma. In ad- dition, your present constitution is conducive to research in a field such as Astrology. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today you feel your strength, but don't see the world very positively. Actually you are capable of devoting yourself to useful consideration, but let yourself be tempted to push this off onto others. things will center around expansion. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Just because you are good at convincing others that you are able to handle everything, doesn't make it true. Sometimes you may seem arrogant and act too spontaneously because you are too sure of yourself. Even if you find it difficult, it is important to allow other people enough space. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Physically, you are in good shape and you won't let the day go by without physical exertion. Even if it is strenuous you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. At the end of the day you will look back and wonder how you managed to accomplish so much without get- ting tired. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Todays events can induce a rebellious tendency, particularly if any selfish interest is shown by those in authority. Part of this may be to test the way in which you can influence change in such matters. If you find yourself fighting against your conscience, due to an over or under reaction, meditate on the issue. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) The Moon also stands for the situation at home. Thereby you are in touch with your emotions and have no problem expressing your feelings to others. Today will bring a short period in which your emotional base with respect to the way you lead your life will become conscious SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your confidence at work should be good today. As such, your relationship with managers and peers also shows some favor. Your personality can be utilized to the full, especially if it is undemon- strative. Your direction should be clearer also. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) This day is especially appropriate for setting your own goals and getting right on whatever it takes to put them into practice. You have your own variety of "healthy egotism" and you could meet up with influen- tial people who will support you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) At present you are more apt to criticize, which doesn't make you especially popular with your colleagues or with your boss. There may be a danger of taking your position too serious and then neglecting to take the rights of the people around you into consideration. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) This could be a day when a compromise is needed. Your will-power may be lacking. You may feel more restricted today in expressing affection to others and seek self- gratifying pleasures to the exclusion of others. A chance of promotion is in the air today. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

Not much here for me today. I'll just bathe in the Spring and hope I get congenial company to join me...

Well I ordered DSL for the Quail house today. 1.5 gb up and down. This should work out great for running some of our own servers. I added a new roomie who's a marketing guy for an Austin Internet startup and I'm planning on dividing up the living room in to cubicles so we could start our own home based Internet businesses. The Quail Creek geek coefficient just went way up.

Geeks rule! Great news! (Some of my best friends and a son of mine are geeks!)

April 24, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A good day for romance and planning your wedding for some of you. Others will find a new found closeness with a loved one. Keeping your cool in a ticklish situation today could be a piece of cake for you. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) This is not a good day to back up and be bull headed about ideas other people like but don't sit well with you. Try to give them the opportunity to prove the ideas merit be- fore throwing the baby out with the bath water. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You should make a firm decision today and stick to it as being wishy washy could bring you some losses, both financial and romantic. Plans you had for today must be changed and while this will not sit well with you, you find that rolling with the flow will be beneficial to you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Fantasizing what you would like to do is not going to accomplish anything worthwhile today. Best to get your- self kickstarted and go for it in realtime. Because you are a nurturing, caring person you may find yourself the center of attention around children today. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Today you may meet someone who will trim your claws down to size and turn the lion into a lamb...and he/she can do it all with a simple smile. You may have an enemy at work and it would be best to nip any potiential problems in the bud today simply by walking away. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Some of you may have reached a turning point in your lives whereby you will reassess your spirituality and your spiritual values. Perhaps by trying to educate the public so that more people will have choices and can learn to make them more intelligently. Others may prefer to be the student. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You are firing on all cylinders today and making good decisions is a snap for you. Don't get too sure of your- self though as a decision made without some thought could backfire on you. Your martial problems should be resolved before nightfall. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) While you are not usually the altruistic type today you will find much pleasure in aiding someone to reach the goals they have laid out for themselves. Shopping could be a good move today as you are bound to find some decent bargains on things you have been wanting. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Turning on a good friend out of jealousy today would be a big mistake, it is not the friends fault and he/she may be entirely innocent of any wrong doing. Checking out the rumors, not believing them, is the way to go. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today do not let the sun set on your anger with a loved one. Make amends where possible or try compromising to end it. A simple apology just might work miracles in this situation. Concentrate today at work on the task at hand, not your domestic problems. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A mistake in judging the problems of someone and their unwillingness to be helped may have you feeling down today. You have to remember that you will not always be able to make a difference, sometimes you must stand by and watch. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Wondering what happened to a recent romantic affair will cause you to reassess the way you lean on people too much. Some signs like this while others want a partner to stand up and be counted. Try to control any clinging vine ten- dencies you may have. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

Jeaslosy?

Cancer You tried to take the easy way out and look where it's gotten you. All your maneuvering has put you into an even tighter spot. If you had simply stuck to the original plan, you'd be far ahead of the others by now. It may be time to give up your strategy and make a vertical exit from the game. All hope isn't loss, however. A new opportunity arises. Tonight, let yourself have feelings -- denying them will only make things worse. Sagittarius You enjoy the positive energy for one more day, Sagittarius. No matter where your treasure hunt takes you, the greatest prize of all lies within. Make your own luck. Stage your own circus. You have everything you need, which frees you to reach for what you want. Friendships mean a lot to you during this time. Make an effort to let your friends know how dear they are to you. Throw a dinner party or send out cards -- it's the thought that counts right now.

Yeah, Cancerean, let your emotions be known to others who wonder if you still have any. Cannot imagine the Sagittarius I know having any Jealousy other than from others jealous of him...! If I change my plans for today I stay home from softball and play on the Spring. I'd druther do that anyway...

You give me too much credit, Marci. I've had a few jealous moments in my life.

Not at all... it must have been in your green youth. I could not imagine you that way now. (Cannot just be me who sees you in that shiny armor!) April 25, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today you will offer aid and comfort to a seriously ill friend. You may not be able to make a difference in the situation but you will make that person happier from your having visited. A good time to take the evening for resting. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Go out of your way today to touch someone who may need some heartfelt encouragement. You are good at bolstering other peoples confidence and today you even manage to boost your own self esteem a couple of notches. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) The love of your life has just laid down the law to you and it makes you angry. Try to be understanding of where your partner is coming from rather than giving a childish display of anger. You will earn not only greater respect but also some peace and quiet. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You may have been burning too much midnight oil and not get- ting enough rest. Try to make your nights earlier if you can, but if you must work long hours then you should insist on being allowed to sleep a proper number of hours as your health is all important. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A confusing day for you as you seem to misunderstand what people are saying and their motives, try falling back and regrouping today as you listen more than talk and in that way things will not get so muddied up. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A health problem may have you and the family worried, but chances are good that the final tests will tell a positive tale and give you a clean bill of health. Try to concentrate on your goals and your work at hand as you go about your daily routine. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today some of you may have a heavy heart over the plight of a loved one, but you should try to bear up as there are others weaker than you that will need your strength in the next few days. Others will find this a good time to push for a job promotion or a raise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You find yourself extra popular today as friends and even neighbors seek you out for help or advice. Go out shopping or browsing the local museums and art galleries so you can soak up the peace and calmness they offer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Friends and family gather around you in love as you help to celebrate your wedding anniversary. Go out on the town and make a night of it as you revisit some of your favorite places from way back when. This is a chance for you two to get closer together. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A change in your work relations could have you out job hunt- ing today so be careful what you say and who you say it to. Stay cool and the changes that are being implemented should work out fine for you. A quiet evening at home is in order. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Is your visitor/freeloader still hanging on? This is the day you should tell it like it is as this person is never going to amount to anything if he/she is allowed to ride your pocketbook the way he/she has been doing now for weeks. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) This is the day that your intuition kicks in big time and you find that you know things that are going to happen before they do. This would be a dandy time to pick some numbers for the lottery as games of chance are favored today. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

It's not my wedding anniversery.

I thought it peculiar that they put something as movable as a wedding anniversary in a horoscope...must be a just ordinary day for you otherwise, which is not a Bad Thing!

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily The Capricorn Moon straps you into the seat of power for the next few days. You're ready to look the other way when a fair weather friend catches a ride on your good fortune. For now, there's enough to share. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Jupiter frowns and wags a mighty finger. You've gone over the line again. Fitting in seems like a punishment. You're free to think whatever you want, but it shouldn't influence your behavior right now. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily The natural world has a model for any situation that you could imagine. Look for the symbols, but don't let them do your thinking for you. A third party is highly impressed by how you handle things. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Disaster may not be inevitable, but you need to move with extreme caution. Get the highest value for each dollar that you spend. Look for the ideal upward trend to lift you out of here. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Perspective is an awesome tool when it works in your favor. The Capricorn Moon magnifies your little effort until you look like the star of the show. Share the glory, and nip any resentment in the bud. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily A former equal now seems to be the master of your fate. This is less fun than it used to be. You can leave at any time, although there's no guarantee that you can get back in if you change your mind. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Your position, though highly charged, is oddly neutral. You have time to make a decision -- if you're quick about it. Understand what you're doing before you try to explain it. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Enthusiasm is a fine thing, but it can produce some odd behavior when seen from the outside. Not everyone is having as much fun as you are. Put another person's needs ahead of your own. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The Capricorn Moon turns the tables on you in delightful ways. The matchmaker is matched with the candidate of his or her dreams. The biggest surprise is how surprised you are. This seemed so obvious. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Look for a ray of sunshine that will dissolve the black cloud over your head. Even a partial solution is better than none at all. Your home should be a source of security and contentment. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Even if it's someone else's idea or decision, you're the one who makes the wheels turn. Be a hero in your office or neighborhood. Hard work looks good and feels fine. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily There are no gray areas under the law. According to the Capricorn Moon, you're either doing it right or doing it wrong. Postpone a shopping trip that you can't really afford.

April 26, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A hard driving life style may be tiring you out. Try to cut back on some of the projects that you have taken on so wil- lingly and have a complete medical checkup...by the way, taken any vitamins and minerals lately? TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You may come across as the bull in the china shop in social situations today but on the dance floor you stun them all with your grace and poise. A bad dream may have you worried today but it is probably nothing more than the heavy meal you had the night before. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today you make several starts and stops due to the fact that you cannot make up your mind and stick to it. Why not just putting all the decisions on the shelf today until you are feeling more positive. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Searching out the perfect fishing spot may be the most serious thing on your mind today as you enjoy a time of peace and leisure. Take along a good friend or your child to double your fun and enjoyment in your favorite sport. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A round of financial meetings may have you down today but the evening will bring you a nice surprise...so don't pass up the opportunity to attend that party for one of your favorite people tonight. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today is a day of forward looking for you as you near your goals of being your own boss, totally...You give your notice at work and then turn your attention to your favorite pass time, making money on the web. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A loved one may have you confused as the signals he/or she is sending is not consistent with the things being said. Best to let time sort this out before making a hard and fast commitment to this person; this one could be too insecure for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Go easy on the spending today as you could blow the bank balance before you know it. Save some for a rainy day in case the clouds are gathering. A good friend may ask you for a loan today and since this person has always been good to repay you make the loan. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A moments indiscretion could tear down a lifetime of building that you have put into your relationship with someone, so if you haven't done it and you are only tempted, think twice, and then walk away. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Capricorns staid manner may not sit too well with a new love interest so it is best to re-evaluate the situation and look for someone who will be more appreciative of your wonderful characteristics. You have too much to offer to settle for less than the best. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Working with wayward youths in a group can bring the emotional fulfilment that you have been seeking as your guidance can make a difference in young lives. Make 'action' plans as this type of youngster likes to be doing something. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A new wardrobe for the Spring and Summer seasons is just the pick me up that you need today, so this would be a good day to spend going through the stores and finding just the right things...you know, shop 'til you drop. ----------------------------------------------------------- These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

April 26, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Stay active and productive while you still have the maximum effect. If someone outside the loop wants your time, make an appointment for later in the week. You can't stand wasting any of the opportunities now available. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Maybe you're sick and tired of the current order, but how much better would chaos be? Find a balance between the necessary and the enjoyable. If you can't move forward, at least don't go back. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You're like a messenger from another time or a different world. Novel ideas have practical applications in the lives of people who've never had your experience. They'll accept you once they stop laughing. Airies (March 21 - April 19) Daily Myth serves a positive function for a community struggling with harsh realities. Your choices may be limited, which makes the correct one all the more obvious. Don't hint at weaknesses to a watchful enemy. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily People understand that you're more than a resume or a recommendation. Fulfill the promise of your early potential. It's time to show that you're as skilled as you are lucky. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily If you're easily disappointed, maybe you expect too much. Others will do as they please, whether or not that pleases you. Work alone, and you'll have fewer complaints. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily A sudden jolt awakens you from your sleepwalk. Welcome back to your life, which is already in progress. Pick up the pace before someone else bumps into you. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Appearances are particularly important. Put a little spin and polish on your naked emotions. An employer, client or law enforcement official would prefer not to see anything out of the ordinary. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Your hands are nimble, and your eyes are quick and bright. You have the materials to create something even better than your plans require. Let the definition change with the events that shape it. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Good intentions and high hopes get you through a slow, dreary time. Everyone understands that a promise isn't the same thing as a delivery. You're sure to be honest today -- whether you like it or not. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Have fun proving yourself to people who will surely be impressed. You know the routine well enough to add a subtle dash of drama. This is one day's worth of praise that you can take to the bank. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Remember that childhood motto: 'Take what you want, but eat all you take.' Today's lesson has more to do with efficiency than moderation. Your goal should match your ability to reach it.

Sure, ok.

April 27, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) It is important that you maintain your sense of duty today. If you have children, there may be a greater emotional involvement in which you take the time to explore your relationship with them. Relationships with others take on a more fun-loving form. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You may feel inclined to pursue a new hobby, or even enroll in a new class. So long as your mind can be stimulated. Some individuals will find that their intellectual stimu- lation is directed to an area of the law that involves some sort of principle. This law may be man made or natural, although the latter is more likely. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) This is a time when you should consider your role and activities among your peer group, the community or at work. Due to a natural charge of energy at this time, you may well succeed easier today. This energy does not mean that you should ignore your limitations and abilities. CANCER (June 22-July 22) If necessary, this is a good time to meditate on who and what you are, and to project yourself with a sense of purpose. This is also a time to have faith in who and what you are. So meditating on this, as well as bridging your internal levels of consciousness, will assist greatly. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Should you feel a need to exhibit certain personal items, it should be done with humility and a sense of sharing your pleasure. You could find yourself applying an extra effort into reinforcing some form of financial or material security, but you should not deny spiritual needs for material needs. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Try to personalize your relationships with certain people in a balanced way. By listening to and understanding others a greater harmony can be realized. There may be a sense of restlessness however, in which there is a need to study something new or a subject more seriously. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today tends to be a time during which are beset with nostalgia, which causes you to want to be with those who share your intimate personal life. If you have been unable to settle down, you may find yourself setting up a sound base for future activities. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Emotions may be numbed during this transit, making you feel somewhat isolated and lonely. It is better to concern yourself right now with the practicalities of life and work, rather than your emotions. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you will be concerned with meeting obligations and accepting responsibility. This puts you in a position to take on the tasks which you usually try to avoid. This will earn you recognition from your boss and others, even if you don't try to call attention to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) The kind of experiences that you may be subjected to today can depend on a variety of factors. Events that occur tend be either a test, or, an initiating energy designed to invoke change. A few people may be accident prone, but it is important to know that we create ac- cidents, they don't just happen. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Your confidence could be high today. You will be able to organize and gather resources as required. Your relation- ship with managers and peers also shows much improvement. Your direction should also be clearer. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today you are feeling great and are looking out at the world optimistically. Everything you touch today will be a success. Changes will center around expansion. At the moment you probably want to do something extra- ordinary and are dreaming about exotic places.

A real get down and get your hands dirty scope for today, sounds about like what today is cut out for.

Mine sounds like my typical day on the Spring!

April 27, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily The picture blinks and wavers. A deadline approaches by the end of today. If you can force an eleventh hour victory, you'll secure a place in the history books. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Your rebellious spirit grows stronger with each passing hour. Maybe you can upset the apple cart and get away with it. The long term consequences aren't as important as the immediate satisfaction. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Faith is a common undercurrent even as the surface conditions change. As Bob Dylan sang, 'You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows.' Watch and wait from your position of strength. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Covert action may be necessary. You spot an opportunity that could vanish before you handle all the required paperwork. Desperation is a positive force when it changes things for the better. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily An apparent stroke of genius needs a second pair of eyes to determine if it's really worth anything. Stay confident even as you recognize that you can use some help. The real collaboration is about to begin. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily The tide is turning in your favor. You notice that an annoyingly familiar restriction has now vanished. Seize the change and quickly apply it to something positive. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Since you last checked in, a few more faces have appeared in the picture. Your role in a relationship has changed. Choose novelty over dismay. Have some fun with this while you're getting used to it. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Relax, tidy up and sigh with relief. An intrusive observer has evaluated your performance and moved on. Instances like these help you appreciate your freedom once you get it back. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The futurist nudges reality toward his or her ideal version. The perfectionist dreams of improving on that which needs no improvement. You're as restless as you are happy. It's a winning combination. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Sooner or later, grumpiness gets boring and goes out of style. If you don't figure it out for yourself, someone is sure to tell you, and maybe not so gently. Go to bed early and read yourself to sleep. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You have permission to make the improvements that seem so obvious and necessary. While you don't have to dedicate your work to those who made it possible, show the proper gratitude. At last you're free to get started. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily In memory, even a long hard bear hug becomes just a fleeting embrace. People come and go, but you carry your values with you on an unbreakable string. There's always a new challenge for your special skills.

April 28, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today could bring you some good news regarding the health matters of a dear friend. You will have to work harder than usual today just to stay even but you manage quite nicely. Take a breather tonight and go out with a special someone just for fun. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Creative urges are still with you and you come up with a great idea for a web site. Don't let lack of skills hold you back, get some books and just start in doing it, it is easier than you think! Walk away from a spat with a loved one tonight. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Constantly changing your mind, or the on again off again syndrome, will not win you new friends, keep old ones, or influence people! :-) Make decisions and stick to them even about purchases...hey, you can always take them back later. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Getting settled into your new home has been a hassle for you but things will be looking up today and you may even be able to relax. Others will find irrita- tions on the job abating later in the day, and even- ing is rife with romance. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Getting your group together and making sure everybody is ready for the big weekend trip is your responsibility today but this is the kind of thing you shine at as your leadership qualitie is one of the best things you have going for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Handing in your notice after all this time with the company, and going into business on your own, may seem just a wee bit scarey, but if anyone can make it work it is you. Keep spending down to a minimum until the dust clears and you are sure of your income. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) The right one has finally come along and snared Libra the lover. Now the shoe is on the other foot and you are doing the pursuing, not the other way around! This will be an ideal match for you as he/she will keep you on your toes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You may not get that promotion that you have been seeking but the chances are good that an even better one will soon be open and the boss is secretly saving you for that position. Try not to be disappointed. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) It's been a long week and you can hardly wait for evening to come so you and friends or family can take off for your weekend getaway that has been in the works for a few days. Be sure to have the car checked before leaving so nothing will mar your fun. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) An elderly relative may have need of you this weekend and it would be a good thing to plan a visit. While you are gone you can go out in the evening and enjoy yourself with some old acquaintances. Make it a relaxing weekend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You can't help being a helpful type of person as your enjoy- ment comes when others finally solve their problems. Today, though, you should spend some time on resolving your own martial problems that have been going on before they become set in cement. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A person greatly esteemed by you may do something today that undermines your good feelings about him/her. Don't take it to heart, after all, we are all human and make mistakes...Angels have wings and are in heaven. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

Wow, the weekend getaway that I haven't even planned. It's more like weekend stayathome.

perhaps it is to getaway from routine - though you do not seem to have one! You are Spring's Free Spirit! April 28, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Being safe spares you the trouble of being sorry. If there's any delay, it's because someone is fixing what should never have gone wrong -- but did. Maybe you should start looking for other flaws in the system. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Friday is the perfect time to rule the world. Your reputation helps make your strange ideas more believable. For the next few days, there are no foreigners or aliens. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You're in an odd state of internal wealth, and you want to share it with everyone that you see. However, this is no guarantee that anyone will understand a word you say. Your heart is too big to be hurt by rejection. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Your dreams are bigger than you are, especially when others share them. Your voice is loud and you have a convincing vocabulary. You may be having a greater effect than you realize. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Expect a few peculiar, frustrating days. As long as you maintain a sense of humor, you'll find plenty of reasons to laugh. Perhaps it would be better not to consider the alternatives. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily The development phase is here, and the fun is just beginning. You whip up a unique blend of specialized knowledge and wildcard good luck. Leak a rumor or two to heighten the anticipation. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Others respect your need for solitude. Cancer knows how easy it is to get happily lost inside and never come out. Remember that, once you're ready for it, the external world holds endless riches for you. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Your only choice is honesty. Of course, saying what's on your mind could get you into as much trouble as lying about it. A loved one may have a surprise of his or her own. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily There are some things that even Virgo doesn't know how to do. Coworkers are supportive, and mistakes are instructive. You can brag about this after you've gotten through it in one piece. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Be brave in friendship and romance. Your perfect match is out there somewhere, whether or not they know that you're looking. A much anticipated flower finally blossoms. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily There's no direct, easy route to your destination. If you try to go in a straight line, you'll soon be off the road in some rough country. The good news is that you don't have to be alone in your search. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You're the bolt of lightning that drops from the sky on a calm, uneventful day. Whether or not they'll admit it, some people have been waiting for you to shake up their lives. Let the show begin.

May Astrology guide The biggest of the astrological news occur at the beginning of the month as the spring time (Northern Hemisphere) breaks open with a rather large planet alignment -- seven of them -- all of the "inner" planets are going to be in one place, one slice, one thirty degree quadrant of the sky, for the briefest moment of time. What's this going to mean? It took minutes of meditation, a sojourn to Lockhart, Texas (BBQ Capitol of the World -- oh the things I do to write a decent horoscope), and a little bit of study to work this one out. The only planets who are not in Taurus would be Neptune and Uranus, in Aquarius, and the lone planet player, Pluto, over yonder in Sagittarius. For the folks so inclined, the important celestial sight doesn't really occur until the latter part of the month, after the planets sort themselves out a little bit. The important thing to see happens right before sun up as the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction is visible, and especially bright, in the last few days of the month. But their effect? It will already be happening by the time you see them. Aries : There is a tendency, especially with everything piled up in Taurus, to give into the typical (perhaps an incorrect assumption) that the things you use to define yourself, your material possessions, are more important than you really understand. Or maybe you're too attached to some things, and this is something that bears a little bit of close scrutiny. In the book that I've got, the quote is attributed to Tom Robbins, "There's a certain, Buddha like calm that comes from having money in the bank." And that's the problem with this month, if you're sitting in a good position with material assets, you're one happy camper. And if you're not sitting happy, then you're sad. But money isn't everything. And material possessions don't really define who you are. So there you have it. You're going to go around and around with this riddle for the better part of the month, at one time or another. Jupiter is giving you a new cycle, but Saturn is laying down the law, as it were. At the end of the month, by the time the planets are really shaking things up, what you use to define your personal "wealth" is likely to be a lot different. And if you are so inclined, you know how to reach me in order to share some of your new found assets. Taurus : "Spiritual Renewal" is a handy buzz word for this month. It's also an escape clause, like a cheap way to avoid what's really at hand right now. So let's look at this month's planet line up: the beginning of the month finds the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus Mars, Jupiter and Saturn lined up in your sign. By the end of the month, a new cycle has started and yet, you still have Jupiter and Saturn doing their "up close and personal" thing in your sign. It means it's the start of a new cycle. While Saturn often restricts movement, Jupiter enhances it, so you're going to be pushed and pulled at the same time. Months like May, Year 2000 (conventional calendar) are a good time to consider why I like living in a trailer so much. I could, at a moments notice, hitch the trailer up to a truck and be gone. No that this is a likely scenario for me, or for you, but the idea is appealing. So I'm not sure that you really want to uproot yourself right now, my trailer has a patio, landscaping, a permanent mailing address, a couple of phone lines, you get the idea... and in a similar vein, you're rather firm about what you stand for, too. So I don't know that you're really going to "move" but you are going to reconsider the position of the place you're in. Consider a special form of Taurus-only "spiritual renewal," but come up with your very own definition. Gemini : Just about every Gemini chart I have ever looked at has some planets arrayed in other signs. Like the sign right before you: Taurus. So even though there's this great upheaval of celestial events in Taurus, my wager is that you're not going to get the worst of this, not by a long shot. And there's also something nice about the Gemini lightening quick adaptability. Remember, there are those who have called you "flaky" in the past, and those very same detractors are going to wish that they could be as highly mobile and adaptive as you're going to be. The first of the big stuff in Taurus doesn't upset you too much, but as the month develops, first Mars, then Venus, then your little ruling orb, Mercury, all come slamming into your space. It's a good sign because the long term effects of the Taurus pile up suddenly kick into high gear for you. Time to do something about what's going on. And once again, my most excellent Gemini, your innate and adaptable nature is going to be called upon in order to save the day [this month.] Cancer : The first time I was gripped with stage fright, I discovered that a unique blend of herbs, spices and suitable mind altering substances helped ease my pain. I'm afraid the blend didn't do much for the show, and ever since, I've been relegated to bit parts where I'm a character actor -- usually a Southern Preacher. Seems I do that part best. That's the problem with the Taurus line up and what follows the rest of the month, you don't want to get yourself set in a role that there is no escape from. So when the stage fright reaches up and grabs you by the the throat, do something to ease the fear. Maybe have a little stand off with the element itself. Your Cancer self in one corner and Fear in the other. If you don't face this unlikely problem, and I mean this element will grab you sooner or later, then you're going to be resigned to fate much like mine: you're stuck, playing a Southern Gospel Preacher, for the rest of your life. It's not a bad part, not for me, but you have aspirations to take yourself a degree further than just minor roles with a lot of vocal action. As the month progresses, you'll find that whatever it was that you were afraid can be dealt with AND you can overcome this fear. Leo : The planet tug of war is going to have some adverse side effects. And as I was looking at the expression "tug of war" I began to develop an image of a tug boat, armed to the teeth, a little boat which is capable of maneuvering huge boats around the relatively tight confines of a bay. So even though I was looking for a different analogy, the tug boat idea keeps popping up. Pick the ship in the Houston Ship Channel that you want to realign. Fire up the big motor that's in your Leo belly, and work on that one ship. It looks like an oil tanker to me, one that's full of crude oil. As you push and push and try to nudge this bigger boat into a particular direction, you're going to be fighting the Taurus tide of planets. If you change your attitude this month, this Taurus tide will be much easier to work with. Since the planets are ever changing in their direction, you're going to find that your going to change some of your notions about how this tug of war thing is working. If you're willing to line yourself up with the flow of the tide, perhaps check a Solar Lunar Tide Table, you might notice that each day, it gets a little easier to move this big boat your trying to maneuver. By the end of the month, you might just be shoving it downstream and back out into the Gulf instead of trying to push it into a dock. Might work best if you are willing to head in that direction now. Virgo : There's been a lot of doomsday stuff written about this month. If I didn't know better, I would suggest that I have written just that sort of diatribe about how this is the end of civilization as we know it. But the way this one looks for you, it's the end of one era of your Virgo life, and the beginning of a brand new era. There's always that one Virgo (you know who you are) who exclaims, "But I liked the old era better!" Before you get all nostalgic and sentimental on me, though, consider the effect of New Moons, and consider the symbols being represented here because, after all, astrology is nothing more than a series of symbols used to explain energies. The beginning of the month gives you a great opportunity to flush out the old stuff. It's like house cleaning (typical Virgo reference) only on a much grander scale. Once the housecleaning is done, once you've taken the old life down to the bare bones, then you get to start building up something new, better, and vastly improved. Every Virgo should be pleased to hear that there's a new and improved model by the end of the month. Libra : Get up early this month, like in the first few days of May, get out and look to the east, right before the sun comes up. There are the morning stars. By the end of the month, you'll just be able to see these guys in the dying twilight of the evening sun, a couple of the planets, anyway. Why the star gazing this month? Because it's the easiest way to direct your attention outwards, onwards, may I even suggest upwards? There's an annoying tendency for some of the doomsday guys to predict the end of the world. To be sure, weather patterns have been a bit strange lately. I know, even in your neck of the woods, it's not like it's been a normal time. The problem with this month is that you're going to have a tendency to focus a little too close on matters at hand. You're tempted not to look beyond you're own nose, to be precise. If I can get you to look upwards, perhaps towards the distant horizon, especially in those magical moments right before sun up or right after sun down, you can awaken some sense in your spirit that you're supposed to be looking a little farther afield than you have been. That's what's most important this month. Stretch the limits of your Libra imagination. You'll be surprised at the results. Scorpio : I was strolling along the "hike and bike"trail, around the lakefront here, and I came up with the perfect way to explain all this stuff in the heavens. Imagine that cool spring time (well, it IS spring time in Texas), and the path is overgrown with verdant, effusive growth creating a lush tunnel for the path. I was heading one direction and two joggers were approaching, on the far side of the path. Then there was this bicycle, and this guy was barreling along, earphones on, barely conscious of his surroundings. Me, (like a Scorpio this month) going one direction -- the bicycle at high speed, tires crunching on the landscaped trail, and the joggers all going the other driection. I simply moved to one side, and let the bicycle whip past the joggers and the joggers, unaware of the bicycle kept true to their path. By all rights, the bicyclist SHOULD have yielded to my (Scorpio) right of way. By all rights, I should have gotten injured, sued them and wound up with a lot of money and a disability conspiracy guy tailing me. By all rights, it was all their fault. My simple act of kindness, my simple gesture of good will, even though I was perfectly right, averted all this trouble. You've got a lot stuff coming at you this month, just step out of the way to prevent bloodshed, lawsuits and similar problems. Just because you're right doesn't mean you're right. Sagittarius : I'm pretty beaten up over my prognostications for this "big astrological event" and at this point, I'm pretty sure you're tired of it too. Is it really that big of a deal? Sure, in some circles, it's the biggest of deals. In fact, I was hoping to be in a far flung location by the time the planets hit the fan, so to speak. Regrettably, I didn't make it. You might not make it, either. I mean, you might not make some of the distant locations that you're planning on getting to this month. Doesn't mean that this bodes no good, it's bound to have a decent surprise or two for you. I suspect the surprise or two comes in the form of a commitment, sometimes a bad word in my Sagittarius vocabulary, but I suggest that long term commitment is forthcoming. Something you thought you wouldn't do is likely this month. Of course, this can be traced to developing situations within the orb of the planets, but whatever the case, you're going to wind up a little happier as a result of whatever commitment it is, whatever you agree to. Just don't do like me, and agree to something under duress. Make sure you have a chance to think it all through before you sign on the dotted line, say "I do," or do the "blood brother" handshake. Capricorn : Austin is a Capricorn town, that is, it was founded during the time of Capricorn -- an early January Birthday. And Austin (Texas) is home to many fine musicians. One of them really comes to mind, and his tune is called "Five Pound Bass" (Robert Earl Keen). In that song, he hooks the monster big fish, and when that fish first strikes, it looks like "a toaster!" According to ballad's lyrics, he's catching himself some breakfast, so there must be a play on words with the toaster oven reference. How does this affect you this month? It's just like that little, haunting melody about catching a five pound bass, it's like magic, and when it strikes, it looks huge. You've got just such a hit coming to your Capricorn fishing line this month. I would credit the planets, but you can credit your astrologer. The big line up in Taurus is very good for you, hardly the end of the world, but it's like the gaping maw of that fish -- it might feel like you've got something the size and weight of a genuine toaster oven on the end of your line. Like the song suggest, reel it in, breakfast is on the way! Aquarius : I was searching for a proper literary allusion to help you understand the dynamics of this month. I turned, originally, to Thomas Stearns Eliot, the great (American? English? Both claim him...) poet. And the lines used for this month's introduction really do apply to you. With the planets all lined up at the beginning of the month in a fixed sign, but not your sign, there's going to be a degree of "disturbing the universe" just because you're going to feel like it's something you need to do. There's certain feeling that the universe needs to get itself rocked, by you. The trick, especially this month, is how you choose to cause this disturbance. You can yell and scream, create a large ruckus, or you can do it in a more gentle fashion. I prefer the more gentle fashion, these days. You want to make sure that your disturbance doesn't later require an apology. That's not a pretty sight, and it's not something I like having to do, and by extension, I'll assume you hate having to go back and say, "I'm sorry," too. Turn your attention to passive resistance, perhaps a subtle approach to this idea of staging a demonstration, and I'm sure you'll survive just fine. The Taurus line up is the beginning of the month, and then the planets begin to line up to give you a degree of relief as some of them meander on into Gemini. Pisces : One of my hobbies is typewriters. Not electric typewriters, but the manual kind, the kind that depend on the mechanical transference of a finger's keystroke to make an impression through the inked ribbon onto paper. Terribly old fashioned, and to be honest, I can hardly type on the darn things. No "Delete" key, no "Forward Delete" key, and "cut and paste," I suspect, is something that's just not done unless it involves something really old fashioned like scissors and paste. Why should you be concerned with my strange collection of manual typewriters, my odd museum of dead letter devices? This is month when some old fashioned form of communication is what is going to work best for you. Forget the E-mail, unless you're sending me a credit card number. Forget the fax machine, although, it does fit in the category of an almost archaic medium by now. You might even skip the typewriter allegory all together. Maybe try a quill pen and some India Ink. I'm depending on you for some communication skills this month, but I'm not sure that the usual medium, the accepted, "modern" versions work well. There's a degree of permanence to the pen and ink thing, and as slow as it is, there's also a chance for you to pick the right word -- and that's the secret, making sure you communicate the most correct word. All I'm trying to do is buy a little time for you. http://www.astrofish.net

April 29, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You are creating tension by worrying about deadlines and results. Let all that go and focus on taking action moment by moment. Before too long, you'll be finished. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are looking to better yourself and improve your circumstances. Today, stay close to people who can help you directly, or associate with people whose example will show you how to succeed. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your 15 minutes of fame are a test to see how you handle it. It's too soon to overestimate your importance. Cultivate a good image and then grow into it as a reality. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Job and career issues can be on your mind today. You may be considering whether you're in the field that's giving you happiness and fulfillment. Counseling can help you zero in on the changes you must make. LEO (July 23-August 22): Financial downturns can hit you hard today. Investment losses may become more apparent now. Some may be pressed to pay money due on income taxes. Don't splurge because your money is needed elsewhere. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Expect a shift in relation- ships today. Your usual associates go into the background as different ones become important. It's important to be exposed to new groups without jeopardizing old associations. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): You experience trouble co- ordinating team efforts today. Someone's not pulling their weight leaving you to do more. You may have to take cor- rective action instead of letting it go. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): The right moves can increase your valuable contacts. Move closer to the people who are important to you. Let bygones be bygones and restart from a positive perspective. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): You're apt to suffer a break with the past. This may be little more than breaking a bad habit, but for some a personal relationship could end. Fill a sense of emptiness with something new. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): You're prone to rest on your laurels and coast on your good luck. Use this as an elevated baseline for even greater achievements. If you can get motivated, you can work wonders! AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): Heed your intuitions about revamping your budget. Make your finances support your long-terms goals, which are themselves undergoing redefinition. Save your money, even if you can't say what for. PISCES (February 19-March 20): Respect for your position can be at stake today. Give a good example of the right use of power to increase respect. Abuse of power, just because I can, only confirms any simmering resentment. ------------------------------------------------------------ These interpretations are based on the aspects and positions of the planets in relation to each Sun-sign.

April 29, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily An old agreement was struck before the current data came to light. Strategy is once again an issue. Not everybody is happy with your need to be realistic. Choose your words carefully. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You're highly visible and an obvious example. The official channels are bypassed. Take your discoveries straight to the people. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily It's not what you're saying but your style of delivery that has people so confused. Render all those ideas into a form that doesn't require your conversational explanation. You relish the thought of working in solitude. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily A debate is not an argument. Friends engage in intellectual sport just to broaden their minds. Once you pass the field test, it's easier to be ready for the real thing. (April 20 - May 20) Daily You may make a bigger mess than you can afford. Just a few wise decisions save your dignity and sanity. As strange as the future may look, you still control your own little corner of it. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Someone is easily persuaded, and that person will never look back from this momentous day. If you're the convert, you make your choice with clear eyes and an easy heart. The same old world is suddenly new and better. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You need your space and will take unusual measures to secure it. If friends and neighbors won't leave you alone, go to a place where you're unknown. A change of scenery might even bring you out of yourself. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Life becomes easier when you accept that circumstances are beyond your control. Surrender gives you the freedom to improvise. Everyone around you is treated to a wild ride. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Watch how you act, because it might send a different message from what you're saying. You're allowed to leave if things get ugly or impenetrable. There are better times to start over, but you can still do it now if you really want. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Education and the creative urge are inseparable. Small groups of people are the living embodiment of a work in progress. You can read volumes of human history in every face that you see. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You're almost ready to admit defeat. The people best equipped to help are the ones whose help you least appreciate. It's time to set aside those moth-eaten old grudges in the name of practicality. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily All reasons and excuses are perfectly acceptable. You're here to encourage, not to judge. You start to see light shedding its light on the advantages and options at your fingertips.

My Birthday is Macaroon day - and I am allergic to coconut *sigh* MAY IS... May is... Better Sleep Month. May is... National Salad Month. May is... National Egg Month. May is... National Barbecue Month. May is... Date Your Mate Month. May is... Fungal Infection Awareness Month. May 1 is... Mother Goose Day and Save The Rhino Day. May 2 is... Fire Day. May 3 is...

May 29 is... End Of The Middle Ages Day. May 30 is... My Bucket's Got A Hole In It Day. May 31 is... National Macaroon Day.

May 31st is also the anniversary of the Johnstown Flood, which happened on May 31, 1889.

I guess I should celebrate by drinking Susquehanna River water and eating macaroons. I dated a guy from Johnstown while I was in college and my ex is now living in its flood plain in central Pennsylvania. They have short memories there! But, I have seen the levees they built and the steel flood gates. Most impressive.

Not a good way to celebrate your birthday, unless you want to great the month of June being indisposed; i.e., sick. You're allergic to coconut, and they still let you live in Hawaii? That's almost as bad as being lactose intolerant, hence never eating cheese, and living in Wisconsin. So Marcia, on your birthday maybe you could eat some pineapple and spam, with a few macadamia nuts later. That way when the month of June arrives you can quote Browning, "...God's in his heaven/All's right with the world."

There you go! The perfect solution. Actually, I can eat coconut, Hawaiian style with no adverse effects. They grate young coconuts whose flesh is just firm enough to do so, and squeeze it through cheesecloth to obtain true "coconut milk" (the stuff you pour out of an older coconut is coconut water!) The "milk" is thickened with arrowroot or cornstarch and flavored with a little sugar and vanilla. Left to set in the fridge, it is a lovely cool refreshing way to end a luau meal. I shall eat it that way. Oh, it also makes a super topping for a cake!

You can top your birthday cake with it!

Indeed! Or someone can buy me one like that. They are a specialty of a local bakery and so tender and moist as to make it melt almost before it gets into one's mouth (and I am getting hungry!)

The resident hairy chest pounder, perhaps?

That was my thought, but considering he is borderline diabetic, we just do not keep sweet things around the house. However, I might opt for a nice juicy prime-rib dinner out and a piece of Haupia (that's what it's called) all by itself.

Cancer You're happy to mind your own business, but it's hard not to be curious about others. It may be impossible to shut your ears when the person in the next room is talking on the phone, but that's a good time to get up and take a break from what you're doing. Eavesdropping can cause a lot of misunderstandings when the Moon is in Pisces. When you presume to know what someone else is thinking, you may be right. Let go of an old grudge once and for all. Sagittarius You've been working extremely hard lately, Sagittarius, and today you feel like slowing down the pace a bit. As the Moon moves through the house of Pisces, give yourself permission to be lazy! Go to the movies or rent some good videos. Mix in some new experiences with old ones whose lines you know by heart. You're perfectly happy alone if you can't find others willing to play your game. Get to bed as early as possible to prepare for the week ahead. InfoSpace.com Horoscopes

You never post Gemini...why? Wolfie and I are both gemin....*sigh* I am happy that you include Caner, though...*smile* Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Your latest creative project is on the right track. Others are eager to see what you're doing, even if it's not ready for prime time. Today's feedback helps you steer even closer to where you want to be. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Even you can feel the ripples of what was supposed to be someone else's change. Live with what's happened, and thrive on what it brings you. The Pisces Moon can still be your friend. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You feel divine. Not everyone subscribes to your godlike powers, but they certainly recognize that something great is going on within your personal space. Rather than helping others, it's time to help yourself. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily The intangible plays a significant role in your life. A skeptic is harder than usual to convince. Patience is a virtue that, if you don't have it yet, you'd better quickly cultivate. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Your dreaming and waking worlds intersect in a glorious, timeless moment. There's no point in congratulations or blame. Everyone around you gets to taste the strange and wonderful. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Gemini, normally confident, is wavering. The Pisces Moon makes you doubt your instincts. Others question your sincerity. Do the least acceptable amount until this phase passes. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You can find a million excuses to have fun. Grab the nearest, best offer, and run with it. Yes, it's okay to run with it inside the house, if that's where your mood takes you. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily As the muddy water settles, you see that you've been exploring a shallow pool. Make your excuses as diplomatically as possible. You really should be spending your time on something that matches your talents. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You're moved by wild forces, which is fine if you like wild forces. Accuracy happens more by accident than by design. As long as you're in Rome, you might as well do as the Romans. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily The community becomes an element of your self-image. It really matters what other people are thinking. The Pisces Moon interrupts what had been a smooth flow of events. Prepare yourself for the next few days. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Reality crashes through the door before you're ready. Miracles happen in their own time. Come as you are. Nobody will notice whether or not you're presentable. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Check your stock and update your files. The information that you thought was current is now strictly old school. Someone may explain it once, but don't expect much patience from those in the know.

May 1, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Keeping a low profile today will work for most people but not you. This is the time you need to get out there and sell your abilities to the highest bidder, in other words this is an ideal time to upgrade to a better job or a newer position. Sometimes just the seeking of new employ- ment will cause the boss to 'get up off the dime' TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) You have the capabilities it takes to go far in your line of expertise and you make the most of your opportunities today. On other fronts, someone out there may be thinking they are too old to learn something new, but that is far from the truth, the only important thing in this enter- prise is your sharp, active mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You have studied the net, the businesses, html coding, and finally found an idea that you feel you can excel in only to realize the thing has been 'done to death'. That does not matter, your ideas may be better than anyone else's, you can take a small idea and enlarge on it; competition only whets your appetite for excellence. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) Don't spin your wheels today with a loved one as it is almost a sure bet that you will not be given 'house room' in his or her thoughts, wait until the excitement dies down and then you will be able to calmly talk out your differences. Patience has its own rewards. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Parting company with a partner could get disastrous for your finances and the business so maybe it would be a better idea to concede a few points instead of losing the ball game. You may even grow to like the ideas he or she presents you with when you remove antagonism from the picture. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) A new partnership could get off on the wrong foot if you do not draw up some papers to legalize it. Leaving some- thing like this to chance could be disastrous for a sur- viving partner. New designs and ideas are beginning to take hold and you will soon see some positive results. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) A personal relationship may have you stressed to the max., and this would be a good day to plan to take a short trip over the coming weekend in order to get some distance between you and your problem. Once you can see the forest and not just a few trees, you will have it well in hand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You are full of charm and wit today and you will find people are more open and receptive to you and your ideas. Make the most of this day by going after what you want in the job market, for today you will get it. Home based ideas also look good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) A weekend getaway is favored for you and a loved one. If a loved one can't go, ask a friend to go along and double your fun. Work today is mainly routine and you could get off fairly early which will give you a head start on this beautiful weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Following your intuition will be a wise thing to do today as a strong urge, or feeling that you really should be somewhere, could put you in the right place at just the right time. If you are single this could lead to a wonder- ful romance and lifelong love affair. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) A small tiff on the job may put your employment in jeopardy but the truth wills out and you are cleared. Evening will bring a small disappointment that will lead to a greater satisfaction if you follow your heart on this matter. Listen to a friend tonight. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Unexpected help from behind the scenes go in your favor today as you are given an on the spot promotion due to the actions of a certain person. A loved one will need all your attention tonight to keep him or her from mak- ing a life shattering mistake. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

May 1, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You surprise someone who expected little of you. For now, it's fun to play a game that you know you'll always win. Once the first flush of victory wears off, consider a challenge more worthy of your skills. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Stand up and put your foot down. Things have gone far enough in a direction that you don't like. The first step won't be easy, but you can't afford to wait another day. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily There's music in the water and magic in the air. You have unlimited access to the people, objects or activities that you find most precious. Your biggest secret is that there's no secret at all -- just try to explain that one. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily It only looks as though you're doing nothing. Stealth and strategy are vital if you hope to accomplish anything. Others will accept self-interest as a motive, as long as you're reasonable about it. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You feel like dancing around the May pole, festive ribbon firmly in hand. Regeneration begins with a shared ritual. Doing what's absolutely necessary can still be fun. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Education has its place, but knowledge without perspective can lead to mistakes. Now that you've decoded the secret message, it's time to figure out why it was sent. If others don't care, you may be on your own. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily A great mystery beckons. Through curiosity and daring, you're ready to boldly go where no Crab has gone before. Despite all the excitement, you stay calm and comfortable. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Leo's week begins in a sour mood. You can't see why there's such a big fuss. As you separate the real from the counterfeit, remember that other people are allowed to have their sense of wonder. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The fruits of your labor are truly a bumper crop. The harvest is far too big for one person to handle. Expand your operation cautiously. This bounty could fade away just as quickly as it appeared. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily How can anybody work when the workers are all busy celebrating? Like the other Fire and Air signs, you see others as little more than wet blankets. For now, stop complaining and take care of yourself. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Now that it's May Day, Spring is unquestionably here. The natural world teases you with its brilliance and wealth. Surrender to the animal within you. Your gifts will soon become obvious. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Be careful what you lose. If something disappears, it could be a sign that you were never meant to have it. It's important that you seem competent and in control to the person who evaluates your behavior.

May 2, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Your problem is still with you, but now you can see what's causing it. Instead of giving way to anger or regret, swing into action. You'll be most effective if you stop when you get tired. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Turn those persuasive powers on your own stubborn prejudice. You may have more in common with an opponent than with an ally. Live the life that someone in a previous age would never have dared. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily It's hard to think about the future when the present is so overwhelming. Still, the consequences of your actions should be obvious. Don't let blind passion play its tricks on you. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You feel enormously better as the shadows drop away. Success attracts success. Your plan is wide open for any profitable variation that makes a natural fit. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Fight the trend toward faster, cheaper and more. You're interested in quality instead of sheer volume. Resist the pull of the Aries Moon and do it your way. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You have a lot on your mind, and you're willing to apply it in the most useful way. Professional projects flourish in a relaxed, friendly climate. Students are receptive to complex new ideas. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily It seems as if you're pushing against a door that won't open. Consider changing employers or vendors, but wait before acting on this idea. Things may change when someone senses that you've had enough. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Forgive yourself for a secret victimless crime. The sooner you move on, the more excellent opportunities you'll encounter. As you move, you might notice that others are beginning to follow. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You've let an old mistake occupy the center for too long. In your case, setting things to rest will require a few apologies and explanations. Talking it out helps improve your own understanding. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily The Aries Moon spotlights an important relationship. Unsaid words must finally be spoken. Be optimistic, even in the face of defeat or embarrassment. The best outcome is still possible. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Freedom is a two-edged sword. You'd be wrong to assume that someone else would do exactly the same thing if he or she stood in your shoes. An ongoing dialogue helps everyone understand a little better. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You can be a little selfish and still be cute. People assume that your quirks and flaws are just part of the show. Apologies may be necessary around other Sagittarians, but otherwise you're golden.

May 2, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're feeling squeezed today, but only if your haven't laid the basis for having options. Your motives are tied in to your ability to achieve; seek to be of service first. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Selfishness feels like it's not enough today. Heed your call to join with something higher than yourself. You sense that what you alone have is not enough; pooled resources are more effective. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be certain that your companions are supportive of your intentions today. The wrong company can just as easily side-track you away from what you know you must do. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can find that your own goals and priorities deserve to be placed above others' today, not from selfishness but from intrinsic merit. The more people who benefit from your actions, the better. LEO (July 23-August 22): You are called upon to make personal sacrifices for a greater good today. A private relationship can suffer when you're called away for professional reasons. Make your exit as gracious as possible. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): The hold of the past can begin loosening up today; you can at least get an idea of where you should be headed in life, but it requires breaking away from the familiar into the unknown. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Government at any level gets your attention today. You scrutinize how elected or appointed officials exercise their power. Are they performing their duties wisely, or at all? They answer to you. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Your financial investments are important today. Be careful how you're handling someone else's money, either directly of through a loan. Invest another's money as if it were your own. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): Conscientiousness and dependability are virtues to cultivate today. Your health and diet should be attended in order to promote your vigor and effectiveness in all areas of life. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Your influence on your children should be subtle but firm today. Let them make their own decisions, but be ready to help them if they get into trouble. Be a helpful guide, not an overseer. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): It's no time to wait for others. When you see something needs to be done, take responsibility and do it yourself. Establish your own ground- rules and procedures instead of being told what to do. PISCES (February 19-March 20): You feel like there's no time to lose today, but don't the rush interfere with your common sense. Your intensity can make you skip steps, rush too far ahead unprepared, or endanger your health. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Don't look a gift horse in the mouth today, just count your blessings and say thank you. Family comes first with you today, and all the other days as well, and you take the necessary time to help a family member; that makes a big difference in their life. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Speaking of horses, you may have an occasion to make a bet today but you will be wise to turn it down as this does not seem to be your lucky day for games of chance, or risk taking. Friends will come to your rescue after nightfall. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) The twins are wading in high cotton today as some of the investments you made a while ago begins to pay off for you; at last your ship is on the horizon. A friend is going to need you and your white horse tonight, so like Sir Galahad, or Joan of Arc, you show up in the nick of time. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) It will take courage to hold up and withstand some of the things that life and/or Mother Nature can throw at you and you do very well in holding your own today. Remember that to an adult a child's problems are next to nothing, but to the child they are nearly devastating, help where you can. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Keep up, and add to, yesterdays good work and head start that you have given yourself, your excellence has not gone unnoticed by your superiors. Tonight would be a good time for a social get together with some friends and spend the evening just enjoying yourself, let the worries wait. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) If you be a good person in your own right, which you are, the only thing anyone can say about you will be good things and what a powerful witness for you unto God that will make. Try to catch up with work early tonight and spend some rime with the family. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Travel will figure prominently in your plans today but don't be surprised if your itinerary gets changed about just a bit by your passenger. Friends will be over to see you off and wish you luck. A telephone call sets you on the way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) A quarrel at work could cause some hard feelings and bad working conditions unless you step in and set things right again. Your leadership shines through when they are more than glad to follow your directions. A situation at home may also call for your special touch. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) You have always prided yourself on being a friend in need and a friend indeed whether or not you were shown the same consideration yourself. Today you long for something more, some little thing that will show some people are glad of, and appreciate your help; a simple thank you would do the trick. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Don't let worries and money problems bog you down and stall your engine of progress. It is time to think of career moves, job opportunities, and/or higher learning or a training update. Don't despair, you have a lot of potential so live up to it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Depression only does one thing for the person who is carrying it around on their shoulders, it makes them depressed. Now, have you ever seen a more useless thing to haul about? Shake it lose and get on with the rest of your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Broken hearts do hurt, and sometimes they last a lifetime. The lifetime ones last only because the person allows the pain to hang around and bedevil him or her. Love has to be a two way proposition for it to work out as a permanent thing and I bet you can find it, soon, if you don't quit looking. http://www.astrology-online.com/daily.htm

Hmmm...curious one: Gemini (May 21-June 21) Image: "In a sunny park, 3 young girls playing jump rope" Message: Celebration, belonging, trust. Social messages and new group invitations are on the rise this week, Gem. Sunday through Tuesday watch for friends or co-workers to quickly establish new social routines and explore fresh forms of entertainment. This is a strong time to begin new friendships, Gem, or take on extra educational course work. Many Geminis will now, and over the next 6 days, experience a steady broadening of social options. Don't hold back, Gem: recent home tensions or family stress are now due to fade. Late Wednesday afternoon watch also for a rare financial opportunity or dramatically expanded business project. Some Geminis, especially those born early in June, will now be asked to double their efforts in the workplace. Don't hesitate to adopt new attitudes and duties, Gem: others will this week expect a quick and decisive response to new proposals.

For the week of May 1-7, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Image: "At a busy mint, a silver press stamping out coins" Message: Creating wealth. This week, Cancer, subtle new career options may arrive. Pay close attention to the hints, gestures or quick announcements of authority figures. Over the next 5 to 6 days many Cancerians may be asked to adopt a more public approach to business relationships or address new marketing and advertising concerns in the workplace. Wait for added information or assignments to arrive later this month, Cancer: much of this may develop slowly in the weeks to come. Late Tuesday morning watch also for a powerful wave of romantic attraction and business creativity to arrive. Some Cancerians, especially those born prior to 1974, may now experience a dramatic need for unique thinking or artistic awareness in the workplace. Romantic relationships will also be affected, Cancer: before next week expect loved ones to now plan unusual events or quietly seductive evenings. An exciting week, Cancer: enjoy! For the week of May 1-7, 2000 Libra (September 23-October 23) Image: "At a summer festival, clowns, jugglers and giggling children" Message: Joining in. Love affairs and subtle flirtations will have a strong emotional appeal this week, Libra. Fresh social attitudes or public romantic overtures will now draw friends or potential mates into your inner circle, Libra: expect quick invitations and renewed social interest over the next 5 to 6 days. Some Librans, especially those born before October 15th, may also experience the return of a past colleague or cancelled work project. If so, Libra, expect fast money complications here but long term success. In the coming few weeks, LIbra, business success and workplace respect can be gained by attending quickly to the unfinished projects of the past. Past financial issues or firmly set policies may also have a strong influence: watch for key officials to now publically challenge new ideas, suggestions or requests. Expect surprising reversals, Libra: important decisions from authority figures may now be delayed. For the week of May 1-7, 2000 Sagittarius (November 23-December 21) Image: "At a crowded church service, a crystal bell gently ringing" Message: Hearing the truth. For the next few days, Sage, private moments in key relationships may be both intensely seductive and emotionally confusing. Expect loved ones or new romantic partners to offer scattered passions and mixed social signals: vulnerability, self reflection and powerful attraction may now be a theme. Remain patiently attentive, Sage: at present, others may need to clarify their actions, plans or social obligations. Tuesday through Thursday also accent quick family changes or home discussions. Key areas of concern may be competing social plans between relatives, cancelled events or ongoing changes to home routines. Before next week rest and gain perspective, Sage: minor power struggles in the home or long held romantic doubts will soon fade. http://www.mysticstars.net/files/weeklies.html

May 3, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is a good day for attending to financial affairs and finalizing loans. You will experience a certain amount of superiority to those around you but be very careful that it remains your secret, else you will put people off from you that you need as boosters. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) The irresistible force finally meets the immovable object today as you stand your ground and get your points in and across at the same time. In this case a firm stand is the only thing that is ever going to work, that or packing up and leaving. You must make the decision. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Life does not have to be so confused and confusing, take a page from a great author and "simplify, simplify". Intrigue is fine if you are a spy, but it can get pretty boring to a spouse who already suspects you of cheating; best to cool the cloak and dagger stuff for a while. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) Always helpful to other people and don't feel that the powers that be will help you? Try closely following your dreams and the symbolism found in them for your own help and guidance, you will be amazed. It is done unto you even as you believe. Simple fact. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) It is not like Leo to complain but today you seem to be locked in to it. Friends may not want to stick around and help if they hear only a stream of complaints. Change the subject and keep the help for your pet project. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) A promise made a couple of months ago is now due to be fulfilled so don't hesitate as this person is nervous enough about what the near future may hold, and at the present time yours is the only lifeline that has been offered. You follow through and set this persons mind at ease. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) It may not be too late to convince someone that you deserve a second chance as this person is truly in love with you, and if you make your statements of promise with love and caring then you will see a wonderful transformation; this time keep your promises. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Your web design ideas are smokin' and this is a good time to implement them as action is called for at this stage of the game; new ideas will come as needed. Others will find they have very creative ideas on ways to increase their incomes at this time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Family problems take precedence over all else today and you go a long way toward solving most of them. Some problems must be worked out and solved by the owner of the situation, no matter how much you want to help you will not be able to. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Helping a friend stay out of trouble is the main thing that concerns you as you set about changing things for this person; remember, this person must desire all the changes you are helping to bring about or all your efforts will dissolve away like quicksilver through your fingers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) A happy day for you as you greet a family member that you have not seen for years. You are more than happy to see this person so you open your home to him or her for as long as they care to stay. All the news from home puts the icing on your cake. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) An old flame rekindles the sparks in your life and you dare to hope again about this person. The chances are good that this time is right for the two of you to make a go out of what is most assuredly a big case of romantic love, on both sides.

Wonder what today's will be?

look above...and here is another: May 3, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily It's strategically wise to expect the worst, but your imagination could take you too far. Get some perspective from a loved one. Daylight adds rich highlights to dark colors. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You can work your magic with the simplest of materials. You feel like revealing your secrets, even if the world isn't quite ready to hear them. Be aware of other people's comfort levels. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You busily await something that might not be ready to happen for a long time. Look rationally at the choices that are now available. By tomorrow, this decision may have been made for you. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You think that you know what's best for everyone. Maybe you're right, but there are kind and gentle ways to show it. Instead of intimidating, lead by inspiration. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You're not exactly in hiding, but neither are you taking on any new business. In order to finish what you've started in a proper and timely manner, your focus must be unwavering. The fun part comes later. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily A traveler returns with exciting souvenirs or videos. All at once, an embryonic hypothesis is confirmed. Move into a new medium while it's still receptive to outsiders. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You're stuck in the midweek doldrums, far from land with no breeze. If you have the choice, you might want to take a nap. Without this convenience, you might as well grab the oars and start rowing. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Students and teachers are roles that go far beyond the academic setting. The world seems flooded with knowledge. Giving and receiving manifest in all kinds of relationships. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You've been here before, and that makes your comfortable. Your comfort has a price, however. One small annoying change now is worth several big, painful changes further down the road. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily A change in perspective shows that your goal is no closer than it was before. It's time to draw on resources that you wouldn't normally use. Remember the lessons about how to handle a tricky new magic. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Wrap your strange reasoning in the most polite terms that you have. You'd be wise to avoid all delicate subjects for a little while. Work alone, if that's what it takes to smooth the bumps. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Creativity is an equal opportunity employer. Stick with the crowd that can work and play at the same time. You don't want to step on anyone's toes, although accidents do happen. Watch out where you dance.

OK, I'll watch where I dance.

Always the tactful gentleman...*smile*

May 4, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today you may find Murphy"s law kicking in as you seem to pass under the umbrella of forgetfulness. Getting lost searching for someplace may also befall you. All in all, a good day to stay home. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Thought of a reform is taking place in your mind and you may miss out on the fun if you pursue it. A friend from out of town drops around and you talk him out of staying in a motel. It is easy to have fun when your heart is in the right place. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Keep yourself feeling good by concentrating on a full excerize regimen and diet so that you will look well for the employees.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Cancer gets a break today in the love category as the person that you have been seeing is ready to answer in the affirmative ; go ahead an pose the question. Give your budget a break today and put that shopping trip off for a day or two when you are in better con- trol of your finances. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Be sure to put romance high on your list of priorities today as you make time for all the things you must cram into one busy day. Children may give your heart a rough time today you will find that things are not as bad as they looked at first. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Working through your personal goals today could keep you busy right up to the afternoon. Some of the goals will have to be raised as there are a few that you have reached already. Be kind to strangers today, it pays in the long run. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A long drive in the country or a relaxing day with a good book could be just what the doctor ordered for you today in order to settle your nerves. A business partner can be picky today but you stand your ground and this person sees your point of view. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) This is not a good day to initiate changes in the work place or to be critical of family and friends. They won't like you for it and you could wind up spending the whole day alone with your thoughts. An old flame burns brightest the second time around! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Don't be a volunteer at work today as you have more than enough of your own work and responsibilities and do not need to take on a coworkers. Today is an ideal time for doing things together as a family, all members will benefit from the special closeness this offers. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today you will find that the classes you have been taking along with your diligent study habits begin to pay off for you in a big way. Try to project a positive attitude at work today and you will have the boss eating out of your hand. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Making a public statement today about private matters may not sit too well with someone so be sure you talk it out before going public. Keep up your savings ac- count even though Christmas spending puts a dent in other finances; don't be tempted to spend too much. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) The extra cash you get today could be quickly spent if you are not conservative from the get go. You find your- self in a great mood today as your personal progress serves to bouy your spirits and your outlook on life in general. A Capricorn lover can be grumpy tonight.

May 4, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Open your eyes to the miracles that constantly happen around you. You need to reinvent the art of having fun, and the sooner the better. Surprise the daylights out of people who are sure that you've forgotten them. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily For those unclear on the concept, more words won't help. Stop talking so much and find another way to demonstrate your point. Be aware, too, that you might have to admit defeat in pursuit of a lost cause. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Sing along with an unfamiliar tune. The road beneath your feet becomes clearer and smoother with each step. Compose love letters in your head, quoting them occasionally to friends and strangers alike. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You're restless, but in a good way. You're ready to help things change by any means at your disposal. Today's energy is worth a lot to the people who will benefit from it. You can probably charge a higher rate. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You can make the story come out any way that you please. Illustrate with your best colors. Underline with your favorite music. All your characters will soon realize who's really in charge. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You feel excluded from a development that excites others. If you want to keep up, you should be familiar with the subject matter. The wording may have changed, but the rules are still the same. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily The Taurus Moon puts you at or near the center. Your wit is quick, and your appeal is universal. Use your subtle forces to guide an aimless drift. People may feel your influence without being aware of just what you're doing. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Bite your tongue. Curb your appetite. The Taurus Moon brings you a message of restraint. Although you know your subject thoroughly, only a succinct overview is necessary to make your point. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Your spirit stirs, or maybe it's your inner philosopher reflecting happily on the way things are going. You're satisfied with the way you look. You win an influential seal of approval. There's a good reason for all this. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Generosity can be exhausting. You may be living in and for this moment, but what about the one that comes next, and the one after that? Save something for yourself so that you can give again on another day. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Your actions affect more people than you may realize. Try not to be offended by an event that steals your thunder. The Libra presence in your Starcast demands that you take a broader view. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You're faced with a wall of stubbornly crossed arms and a hall of locked doors. The Taurus Moon impedes your progress in almost every way that you can imagine. If possible, think about something else for a while.

OK I will think of something else when I take care of few things today.

Not much of a horoscope is it?! Find a good book, post on the Spring (Yay!!!)or DX - I posted information about it just this morning... You have great options. I am going to the All-Sports Banquet this evening, the Baseball one on Friday after the game, then to Kona to watch them play there. Busy time in Hilo!

How do you hop around all these islands? Boat? Plane? Outrigger?

Plane is the only intrastate highway we have. They run regular schedules, but it still costs about $100 to get to and from Honolulu from Hilo. On each Island, car is the only way. Outrigger?! The Molokai channel is one of the roughest places in the world for boats. So is the Alenuihaha channel between us and Maui due to the high mountains on either side. May 5, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Keeping a low profile today will work for most people but not you. This is the time you need to get out there and sell your abilities to the highest bidder, in other words this is an ideal time to upgrade to a better job or a newer position. Sometimes just the seeking of new employ- ment will cause the boss to 'get up off the dime' TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) You have the capabilities it takes to go far in your line of expertise and you make the most of your opportunities today. On other fronts, someone out there may be thinking they are too old to learn something new, but that is far from the truth, the only important thing in this enter- prise is your sharp, active mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You have studied the net, the businesses, html coding, and finally found an idea that you feel you can excel in only to realize the thing has been 'done to death'. That does not matter, your ideas may be better than anyone else's, you can take a small idea and enlarge on it; competition only whets your appetite for excellence. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) Don't spin your wheels today with a loved one as it is almost a sure bet that you will not be given 'house room' in his or her thoughts, wait until the excitement dies down and then you will be able to calmly talk out your differences. Patience has its own rewards. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Parting company with a partner could get disastrous for your finances and the business so maybe it would be a better idea to concede a few points instead of losing the ball game. You may even grow to like the ideas he or she presents you with when you remove antagonism from the picture. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) A new partnership could get off on the wrong foot if you do not draw up some papers to legalize it. Leaving some- thing like this to chance could be disastrous for a surviving partner. New designs and ideas are beginning to take hold and you will soon see some positive results. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) A personal relationship may have you stressed to the max., and this would be a good day to plan to take a short trip over the coming weekend in order to get some distance between you and your problem. Once you can see the forest and not just a few trees, you will have it well in hand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You are full of charm and wit today and you will find people are more open and receptive to you and your ideas. Make the most of this day by going after what you want in the job market, for today you will get it. Home based ideas also look good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) A weekend getaway is favored for you and a loved one. If a loved one can't go, ask a friend to go along and double your fun. Work today is mainly routine and you could get off fairly early which will give you a head start on this beautiful weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Following your intuition will be a wise thing to do today as a strong urge, or feeling that you really should be somewhere, could put you in the right place at just the right time. If you are single this could lead to a wonderful romance and lifelong love affair. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) A small tiff on the job may put your employment in jeopardy but the truth wills out and you are cleared. Evening will bring a small disappointment that will lead to a greater satisfaction if you follow your heart on this matter. Listen to a friend tonight. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Unexpected help from behind the scenes go in your favor today as you are given an on the spot promotion due to the actions of a certain person. A loved one will need all your attention tonight to keep him or her from mak- ing a life shattering mistake.

May 5, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You want to be informal, unusual or just plain silly. Someone who loves you does whatever it takes to make you happy. Those who must work today may not accomplish much, but it won't seem to matter. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Give someone a reason to be proud of you. Parents or older relatives are happy when you honor a principle important to them. Say the words that are in your heart. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Imagine what you can do next with what you know right now. You're in good company these days, and that means lots of help when you need it. Host a dinner for your friends, and toast your new venture. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Be fair, and be cheerful about it. If someone wants to share the profits, make sure that he or she does an appropriate amount of work. Once a basic agreement is in place, there's no further need to discuss it. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily On this particular Cinco de Mayo, it's the Bull who gets to walk away in victory. Against all odds, you've withstood trespass and oppression. Now it's time to kick up your heels and have some fun. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You don't know whether to laugh or tremble. If you can recognize both the humor and the fear, you have a choice about how this new turn of events will affect you. Remember what you do best, and do it again. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Occasionally, just talking about something makes it better. A friend easily corrects a problem that he or she hadn't noticed until now. The best answers are the obvious ones that everybody usually ignores. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily While an apology might be necessary, there's no reason to damage yourself with the gesture. Excessive drama is sure to undercut your credibility. Anyone who expects total perfection is being unrealistic. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You're eager for more of what excites you. Knowledge is addictive, but don't forget to take comfort in simple physical pleasures. Begin your weekend with a small celebration. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Ask yourself a few questions, and really listen to the answers that come back. There's someone in your life who may not be setting the best example for you to follow. Nourish yourself from only the purest sources. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Loyalty carries powerful emotions on its back. Self-sacrifice is easily justified before you feel its sting. A few moments of levelheaded thinking might save you many regrets later on. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Start with little changes. Feeling better about yourself makes a big difference. Even if the world refuses to turn the way you'd like it to, you can still be happy.

May 6, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) All of your work will be here tomorrow and being tired out today makes you take to the sofa for some creative t.v. watching! Get as much rest as you can, but don't neglect any important matters that pertain to your family. They should be very few of them, so fret not. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Yesterday may have been too strenuous for you and used up all your energy. Relaxation is in order but don't count on it. you are in constant demand because you are such a good sport that your friends always want you around. Take a little time tonight to rest and be ready for a demanding work day tomorrow. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) It is time for that heart to heart talk with your spouse about the way the children have been reacting to authority lately. Enlist the spouses cooperation in standing firmly together, a united front, so they can not play one against the other to get their own way: remember that old game?. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) Family matters should be paid close attention to today. Firm up their confidence in God, for you know better than most that the family that prays together stays together. You know how to plan things with, not for, them in order to get their cooperation. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Take this time to strengthen your marriage vows with candy and flowers. Get a baby-sitter, if needed, and treat him/her to dinner at a fancy restaurant. Even- ing brings a few problems about your work, so try to get all your contracts cleared away before quitting time rolls around. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) You may be asked to solve a knotty problem at work all by yourself, but it would be best if you insist on shar- ing ideas with another as this could be touchy, you could be blamed if your solution failed. Remember, if you stick your two cents in, have someone there with equal or better stuck right in with you. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Children are your main attention grabbers today. Either you and your spouse are expecting a baby, or you have relatives who are. The happy event should begin sometime today. Remember to keep calm and not faint, as the doctor needs to spend all his time with the mother. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) A parent may need your help today. Maybe he or she just wants to see you or, if in another state, really wants you to call them. This person could have something important to share with you. Loved ones benefit greatly today if you make the time to show them how much you really care. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) You could get into one of your moods today, but don't! There are so many good things you will miss out on if you wind up sulking all day. Be your happy self and let the love show. Take the family out for a treat or a visit with the relatives. Don't take everything to heart, it's not aimed at you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You should be well rested after your weeks vacation and able to put in a good day of creative work on the job front. A nice restaurant at lunch time is in order for today, then a quiet afternoon with the family as you plan your fun activities. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) With yesterdays disasters over, you can concentrate on more mundane affairs. Take a while this afternoon to plan your future job strategy or the approach you will use when you ask for that raise. Children need your guidance today so be alert to what they are ask- ing of you. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Your input is very useful and well appreciated today so don't let any one rain on your parade. You can accomplish more than you thought you could. Get in- volved with your local youth group and help them plan their holiday activities. You are, as usual, brimming over with bright ideas and plans.

May 6, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're wasting time trying to impress someone who just doesn't care. This is the wrong moment to force a transformation. Your natural talents will attract all the admirers that you need. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily There's an uncanny similarity between your life and someone else's. When the Moon is in Gemini, strangers become intimate as quick as thought. You're even able to describe the experience to an outsider. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You're intrigued and suspicious when an associate tries to carry business beyond the workplace. Question any urgent claims. Put a matter on hold in the absence of a clear answer. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You're eager to have an experience. Be safe, and read the directions at least twice before beginning. The dominoes may fall a lot faster than you expected. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Question the intent of an overly interested stranger. Advice that flies in the face of everything that you know is probably bad advice. Continue what you were doing before a rude interruption took you away from it. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You are your own work of art. Move with high speed and absolute confidence. You're at home in any conversation or romance that the Gemini Moon tosses in your direction. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You're impatient with delusional people, even though patience is just what you need. The mind is a powerful tool and should be treated as such. You probably have a few dreams of your own that others might not understand. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You know the secret inner workings, but every so often it's fun to let yourself be dazzled by the overall effect. Transcend the usual. Brush shoulders with the infinite. The Gemini Moon lets you be bright and breezy. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Everyone has definite ideas about how you should do your job. As the only person who's actually going to do anything, you're free to ignore all advice. There may still be a few useful parts in the discard pile. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're in an accepting mood. You could find a new friend or a new home by the luckiest of accidents. A discussion that starts out of thin air covers a wide territory and lasts for ages. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You react unexpectedly to a surprise. Now that you've started, you might as well keep on going. The change is afoot, and there's no telling where it will lead you. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You have a lot to consider, and only a little time. Start with the bottom lines of 'yes' or 'no,' and work backward. After this marathon is over, you'll deserve a short rest.

May 7, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily It's easy to ask for favors, and hard to know when you should stop asking. Standing alone is probably much less work than you think. You'd much rather tell jokes than become one yourself. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You connect with others on many levels. Romance begins or expands. Dialogues spiral skyward in wild new gestures and examples. Everybody is a genius in one way or another. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily A deep issue rises to tower above you. Your personal life gets a little too loud for those not directly involved. Make your apologies or not, as you see fit. You're about to become very busy. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily When imagining the future, be sure everybody is clear that this is just a game. Consider the more creative ways to use a computer. Have someone show you a few things that you can't figure out alone. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You're nudged along faster than you want to be going. Obligations come in all shapes and sizes. Know what you're getting into before you put it on your charge card. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily An astounding weekend continues with one victory after another. You might as well spread some of this magic, since you have so much of it. Find creative ways to advance the people who you support. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Seek help. Without preaching and without conditions, someone is sure to give you what you need. Human decency overrides all the needless details that often become attached to the simplest interactions. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily If you don't have to work, let yourself fall apart into giggling little pieces. If something is expected of you, blow everyone away with your expertise. Either way, there's a cause for celebration. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily There are many complaints, but no one to blame. Stay out of the way in case someone points an irrational finger at you. Show your good intentions by working alone and doing your best. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Everything gets a little mixed up, but nobody minds. It's ensured that your experience is immediate and gratifying. Once you're done, let another person have his or her turn. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Money plays an alarming role in the shaping of reality. Even if you don't like what you see, you may be powerless to make a difference. Live your life as honorably as you can. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily The net has disappeared from your trapeze act. You know your strengths as well as you know your own weaknesses. Now that you're committed, cast aside your doubts and go for it.

May 8, 2000 Response 207 of 207: Marcia (MarciaH) * Sun, May 7, 2000 (21:56) * 108 lines May 8, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Deceptive trends today should cause you to be more protective of your assets, and play your cards close to your vest in love matters. Take care not to give a peer a short answer today as this could topple your image in the work place. A spouse could benefit from some extra attention. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Guard against any form of carelessness on the job today and be extra careful around machinery as there exists the possi- bility of a small accident that being alert can prevent. This is not a good day to volunteer for extra work because you may take on more than you can handle and all your pro- jects would suffer because of it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Avoid all confrontations today as this is a day when you can't win. On other fronts, such as the performance of your work duties, you more than prove that you are a winner in that area, so much so that you may just get that raise you have been wanting. Celebrate with dinner at a nice restaurant. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) This is a good day to shop around for some new reading material: novels, magazines, etc.. While you are out and about you could run into an old pal that you lost touch with and spent the afternoon catching up with all the changes in each others lives. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A seminar about self control and mind control may be of great interest to you right now, and you should go ahead and sign up for it as you are intelligent enough to separate the truth from the hype and thus get more out of it then most others. Your favorite charity drive starts today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Alcohol and driving do not mix and you have a friend or loved one that may be in danger, so this is a good day to keep your ear to the ground regarding this matter. Keep alert at work today as there are those who would be glad to see you stumble so they can be your replace- ment. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Be cautious with your spending today, especially in the area of luxury items for the home. You could overspend before you know it. A friend needs to have a long talk with you and you should listen carefully and not let your temper flair; all that will be said, will be said with your welfare in mind. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You have very extravagant urges today and could run to excesses if you are not on your toes all day. A loved one needs to be told of all your plans, not just part of them. You court disaster with this attitude when the whole thing is known; without proper preparation the chances are good you won't be agreed with. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Careless today could cost you if you accidently mislay something that you value highly. Your intuition will be a big help to you on the job today as you seem to know what people want, or what they are going to say, before they ask or say it. This could be unnerving to others so play it down. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Money is the root of all evil or so they say. Today you may feel that this is so as you and the spouse always seem to be on the outs over it. A quiet discussion with all the cards on the table, and then a working game plan, can go far to put a cork in a lot of arguments. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Don't get overly sensitive today when someone gives you some criticism; you can learn a lot from it if you really listen to what is said; believe me, you will be glad you did in the long run. Children are little Angels tonight which lets you get some needed rest. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) This is a great day for completing those financial arrange- ments that you have had in the works for you very own business. It is also a good day to seek financing on all major purchases as people feel drawn to you as you have an air of responsibility about you which makes you seem very trustworthy, (which you are).

May 8, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Your conscience drives you harder than any external authority figure. You believe in personal responsibility and group initiative. Your public life is a mirror of how you conduct your private affairs. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You'll do it your way no matter what anyone says. The next few days might be hard if you start feeling persecuted for your decision. Remember that you're trying to prove a point here. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily The Cancer Moon shows you the beautiful, eager child in every adult face that you see. You can mix anything into an amalgam far better than the ingredients. Be proud of your rare abilities. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily What should be clear and obvious is now confusing. You're tuned into an emotional content that was unimportant last week. As far as you're concerned, the joy and suffering should be equally distributed. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You have a fresh, wholesome perspective. Discover something that you always knew but never really noticed. Put your heart into any activity that involves people, food or a sense of belonging. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You avoid a classic mistake when you spot its early warning signs. Be vigilant and empathic. If you must feel someone else's pain, understand it instead of getting lost inside it. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Your week begins with a flood of personal warmth. Not only can you do what you want, but you're recognized for it. Host a special lunch or dinner to celebrate your good fortune. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily The past coughs up a forgotten issue. Yesterday's mystery is now a vital clue. Be careful not to strike a nerve as you probe an old wound. Proceed with the utmost delicacy. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You've kept your ear to the ground, and you know that good news is afoot. As the word becomes official, you're at the head of the line, waiting to receive your share. Be sure to look the part that you hope to play. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily The firm grip of a handshake agreement fades from memory. Someone is persuaded by a new sensation that drowns out the old. Get the whole thing in writing before you go any further. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Great things happen when someone steps back and lets you do your job. Your perspective lets you influence the outcome of events that are happening far away. Laugh easily and love sincerely. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Honesty and generosity blow holes in a lame excuse. Somehow you've made things worse just by trying to be nice. Don't let another person's bad trip poison your day. There's a graceful way out of this.

May 9, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today you could see the beginning of a new love affair. You have so much going for you that you find it easy to attract that special someone. A new job may have you learning some- thing that is all news to you but you will be able to master it. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) The fun loving ways of the Gemini you just met will be very attractive to you but before you get too involved with this one you must remember that Gemini doesn't like to make hard and fast comittments. You could be looking at a raise or even a career move today. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You could have a run in with a leo today and the winner will be a toss up, of course if the lion is your mate then arguing will not be the best solution to your problem. Being able to compromise can keep down some fights but you should not be the only one doing the compromising. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Children could be a worry for you today as you feel someone is not doing all that they should do to help a child. This is something you have no control over and it is best for you to put it out of your mind and into Gods' hands as He can handle it far better than anyone else can. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A good day filled with love and sunshine for you as you and your true love take off for the annual vacation to one of the fun spots for a glorious two weeks. Be sure that the car is tuned up and everything checks out if you plan to drive. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You may have a hard time explaining some of your recent actions to a loved one as the check book is balanced and some extravagant spending show up. Liking the finer things in life is good but when you are a team both parties should agree on the spending. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You are great at putting things off and you shouldn't, go ahead and make the appointment. Employee troubles you have experienced in the past few days have finally been resolved and you are more than happy with the outcome. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Before you take an action you may regret try to determine if there is anything worth saving in your relationship and if there is then try to convince the other party to attend marriage counseling with you. It will go far toward solving your problems. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) The new business is working out for you as you like being your own boss but don't let the ego get too big as there are still investors and even clients that you must take into consideration on all your decisions. Today could offer some surprises for you. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) No matter which seminar you choose it will never be as easy to make the level of income that is advertised. Be sure you are ready for hard work before you actually buy into any of these systems. It might even be advisable to keep your present job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A certain person may be getting on your nerves today and if it is at all possible then you should avoid this persons company until this latest quarrelsome mood vanishes. You will be asked to participate in a community fund raising drive and it is for a good cause which you champion. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today You have figured out how to do your work faster so you will begin to see real progress before you know it. Your 'day' job is going well and there may be a raise in sight for you. Love interests are about normal as you have little time to spend on romance.

May 9, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You may be facing the chance of a lifetime. Ignore the doubting little voice that tells you to wait until tomorrow. Anyone who truly loves you will come to support this decision sooner or later. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Reality is pliable in the hands of people with powerful motivations. The stories that you tell yourself may seem ridiculous to someone else, and vice versa. If you need reassurance, stay home or travel to a familiar place. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Think with your senses. This is a time of wonder and major creativity. Results are for other people. You're in love with art for its own sake. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily More and more, you want to escape from what is turning into an oppressive situation. Beware the impulse to do a hasty, imperfect job in your desire to be free. A mistake could prolong your discomfort. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily The path that you began to walk yesterday is definitely the right one. Put your best foot forward. There's a common, genuine wisdom in the air. Breathe deeply. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily It's easier to wait for improvements if you're patient. This transitional phase has its attractions, fleeting as they may be. Instead of clutching at the good things, let them pass through you. Something even better is on the way. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Be assertive and compassionate in the same breath. You've got a few days to remake the world as you think it should be. Let your instincts lead as you grant your own wishes. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Male and female energy circles in a slow, uneasy dance. Your heart could be either a true friend or a false guide. Whether faced with relationship issues or some individual dilemma, Leo's light is restless these days. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily It all comes down to a matter of good friends and appropriate staffing. Honor someone for doing a better job than expected. Everyone deserves to be treated like family. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Changes drift instead of sweep. If you go too fast, you might miss something. Instead of doing business as usual, listen to what your intuitions are telling you. Early intervention is always better. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Although you won't let others think for you, you're sensitive to their needs. The stars suggest that you're ripe for a leadership position. Events steer you as much as you determine those events. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Talk is cheap, but in most cases it won't pay the rent. Your comfort level is challenged by the reality of your surroundings. Accept that a different approach is necessary. Your mood will take you where you need to go.

May 10, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A good day for enjoying the company of good friends. Attend a meeting together or go to a movie and dinner. Work should be a little slow but you are adept at inventing interesting things to keep you occupied so that you look busy while everyone else is idle. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Getting it together and pressing forward to your goals should be your main focus today as you put aside per- sonal problems for awhile and just let the creative ideas flow. Friends will take your mind off things if you meet them half way. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) If you are not careful today you could change your mind just one too many times and the person you are trying to impress will count all the changing to weakness and not to consideration. Stick to your present plans, they are the right ones anyway. CANCER (June 22-July 22) It is a hard life and depressing if you allow it to be. Today you must learn to shake off the poor old me feel- ings and meet the world head on with confidence. By doing this you will find that things really do go right for you. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Today you will enjoy your fifteen minutes of fame as the spotlight of opinion is turned on you and you bask in the approval you feel all around you. This is possibly because of a certain accomplishment, or a creative idea that you pushed through to completion. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Problems with internet mail may have you up in arms but the only thing you can do at the moment is sit back and wait...you can always change it if it becomes necessary. Others will find a few annoyances at work that you find hard to resolve today. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) If you would have a successful partnership, either love or business you must be very careful that you listen to the other persons views on things, they deserve to be heard as well as you. Children make you proud today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Although you feel highly successful today try not to let it go to your head and come out as arrogance, you could estrange some very important people who had a lot to do with your success. Give credit where credit is due. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A friend in need is a friend indeed and today you become that friend indeed when you go to the rescue of a good pal and help him out of some legal problems. If you are not a lawyer yourself you may even hire one for him. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Being hardheaded today could very well make you a very lonesome person as someone tries to get a point across and you may not want to hear it or acknowledge it as the truth. A change in attitude is definitely in order for today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Babysitting is fine but you have to know when to draw the line or you may never get a free moment to yourself. You have to let the parent know where the lines are drawn and the precise times you expect to see them at your door, front and center. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A shopping spree is just what you need to take your mind off of certain things, if you can't afford it then take a few hours walking in the mall and window shopping...it's good exercise and you can walk off a lot of tension.

May 10, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're easily confused today. You want to be strong-minded, but you'd embrace the love that could reduce you to a babbling fool. Welcome to the human dilemma. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily As Eliza Doolittle sings, 'Words, words, words, I'm so sick of words.' Shut off all dialogues for now, whether they're interpersonal or internal. A change of pace satisfies your body and refreshes your soul. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You sense an ending, but you're not sorry to see it go. It's time for someone else to enjoy the rich world that you've tasted. You're ready to integrate that touch of divine madness with the comfort of your daily life. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You feel a familiar sense of awakening. You're on the edge of something wonderful, just as you were about a month ago. This time around, take it farther and make it last longer. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Practitioners of tai chi can do some of their best work during this strategically placed moment. Counselors are especially convincing to those in need of advice. A change made now is a change for the better. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Ready or not, clarity happens. If the moment catches you off guard, others are probably too preoccupied to notice. You gain a distinct edge when you're the first one to get your balance. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily It's time to wrap up your masterwork before your focus drifts. Leave bookmarks and make adequate backups. Your physical needs grow louder, and will soon demand satisfaction of their own. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Maybe your problems are resolved, or maybe they still need work. In either case, set them aside and let your sunny old self shine through the fog. You can't be too serious for too long -- life is too short for that. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Charm and persistence attract attention, even if others are more eloquent. Once you make someone laugh, he or she will remember you for a long time. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Complaining helps, but only to a point. Unless you're ready to get your own hands dirty, no one else is going to do the work for you. Accept the responsibility with pride. Happiness will soon follow. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Some people are shy around others who radiate power. If you're the big wheel today, be careful about rolling over the feet of those who crowd around you. The dream is sweeter when many can share it. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Beware of goading someone in a volatile emotional state. The man or woman who you anger today will be slow to forgive you. Instead of feeding a grudge, use your powers to nurture a positive change.

What's The Fuss About The Cusp? People born on the cusp often feel that they are simultaneously influenced by both signs on or near their day of birth. And there is more than a grain of truth in that. But generally speaking, except in the most rare of circumstances, one is most influenced by the sun sign on the day in which s/he was born under. If you feel more like a Taurus than a Gemini, check your natal chart. Your planets may have been aligned more closely with Taurus than Gemini on that particular day. (Check also your moon sign - it gives a good indication of your soul's motivation.)

May 11, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your friendships could bring you some unexpected benefits before the day is over. Don't get so wound up in self and the immediate happenings that you neglect to be considerate of a partners feelings. A financial matter should be resolved today and the results will be just what you wanted. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) The morning should be very productive on the job for you as you put forth new ideas with enthusiasms and logic. Later on in the day you may be met with open opposition from someone who has been in competition with you for a long time. Never fear, your points make the most sense and so do you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) A teenager or a child is showing some positive improvements in the academic arena and this gives you a feeling of happi- ness that hangs in there all day. You should be hearing good news from a publisher or other, in regards to a contract which you have been waiting for. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) The property sale is in the bag and you get the good news today. The other side of the coin, the property you wish to buy with the proceeds are also within your reach. Friends will be more than happy to help you spend part of your money but in this case, leave it in the bank and go 'dutch treat'. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your career plans are right on track today, but be prepared for a change in the method as you find a better way to the same goal, remember, you do not have to reinvent the wheel, sometimes the easy way really is the best way. Take a loved one out to dinner, you will both benefit. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is a fine day for getting with the contractors and planning the completion of your renovation project. Financing is easy for you to come by today, so take some time to get that chore in hand. Be sure to check out any changes in plans you have with the spouse, this will save a quarrel later on. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) If a lover or a spouse seems preoccupied today it would be best to let them alone until he or she is ready to confide in you. Tonight may bring a change of plans in you pleasure pursuits but you will find that it is for something even better. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You may be fighting a blue mood today but you will be able to keep it out of sight so it does not show at work. Being blue is something that happens to a lot of people for various reasons and you have your turn at it. Your problems with a loved one should be over soon, thus alleviating your blue mood. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) A friend who turns you on to a proposition may not realize that it is worthless, and may even give you the hard sell, do both of you a favor and check it out thoroughly before you leap into it. Life just got better when you hear that a certain person is back in town. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You come up with a lucky break today where your job is concerned; just when you thought everything was lost providence steps in and takes a stand. Do not be too surprised tonight when a quarrel erupts with a good friend as this has been festering for awhile, try to keep your cool and just walk away. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Afternoon and maybe morning delays will hinder your job performance today but you have a solid reputation with your company so an off day once in a while won't be held against you. Family matters maybe what is affecting your performance, and if this is so, it would be best to meet them head on and get them out of the way; compromise works wonders. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) While your finances are looking up, you will find some unexpected expenses also crop up today to give you an 'excedren #5'. You manage to make it through a very hectic day and find the spouse has planned some quiet entertainment for the evening and you are ready to relax. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

May 11, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily The reason for why something must be done transcends your feelings about doing it. Share your resources, but don't share your problems. Someone may come along and surprise you for the better. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily If you're wise, you won't push for more than you already have. You've built yourself a fragile pleasure palace. Erratic behavior could bring the whole thing crashing down on your head. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Today's kettle of fish isn't really your fault. A change of personnel provides some relief. If you don't already know enough to keep this from happening again, you'll soon learn how. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You're truly courageous when your heroic acts seem completely normal to you. Partners join your venture as they see how much fun you're having. Give credit where it's due. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Defuse a bomb with a deftly humorous snip. You're still on dangerous ground, but at least you're not alone. Watch out for people who should know better -- if only they'd think clearly. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily These days you're some kind of trickster. People will laugh even if they don't get the joke -- or if the joke is on them. See how you can improve your environment instead of simply enjoying it. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You're happy with your pace, but there are some who can't keep up. If you want to keep this team running, you may have to do more than your share. This kindness will be repaid further down the road. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Your vague, impossible hopes solidify into something that looks a lot like reality. A full house of fans cheers you on, convinced of your success. You can do this. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The same numbers add up to something different this time. Your tone of voice betrays your true emotions. Move quickly if you hope to maximize on what's happening. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're elected as leader, but you're a democrat, not an autocrat. It would be wrong to make a move without the approval of your public. The good news is that your ideas are generally welcome. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You're not having as much fun as you think you should be having. Your critics are unprepared to offer much sympathy. Beware of high expectations that set you up for a disappointment. Reduce your stress at the source. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily If you're going to make waves, you'll need an accomplice. Round up all the usual suspects to ease your selection process. Partnership has never been more special.

OK I'll go out and make some waves tonight. Are you ready?

...whenever you are...! May 12, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A good day coming up that will offer you more financial increases than you have been seeing. The opportunity of a better job is likely to be your ticket to easy street. You may have a few personal problems that will plague you but you get them ironed out in no time. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Taking care of business and keeping the nose to the grindstone pays off today. Others will find the arena of romance to be where they shine and yet they too will make strides in the business world. Children may offer some problems for you, but you are fully capable of taking care of them to everyones liking. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You may be your own worst enemy today as you find yourself going against your better judgement in a matter that may bring you heartbreak, follow your heart, it is the safest route to happiness. Don't ignore a friend today who needs some financial help. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today you should try to finish up those renovation jobs that you have going, or at least hire a contracter. It may even be a good idea to take a week off now in order to complete these long standing tasks. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) An old love returns and you are off in a whirl of joy and bright lights. Be careful that you do not neglect important jobs and issues while in your daze or it could hurt you financially. Older family members may have a hard time getting in touch with you today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today is great for working at home and completing your newest enterprise. In the heat of invention you may not listen to carefully to those around you, just be careful that it is work and cannot be viewed as neglecting them. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Starting a new life with another person sounds easy on the surface but as long as you try to be as considerate as possible, even during an argument, everything should work out. Married Libras will feel a renewing of love in their partnership. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your finances may be looking good but that is no excuse to be a big spender, oh yes, it will bring you loads of friends but they will disappear as soon as your money is all gone, so put it in the bank, you never know just when you will get hit with a 'rainy' day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Family members may be at odds with one another today and you will have to be the peacemaker, go ahead, you are good at keeping the peace. A teenager may be about to get into some serious trouble but you will be able to talk him or her out of it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Don't kick your heels up too high today as you want to save your energy for on the job. Making a good impression with the boss is all important as promotions are in the making and you are being considered. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) This is a good day to carefully guard against those who would take advantage of your good nature, Hopefully most of you have mastered the art of evaluating the motives behind the actions of a select few. Spend some time relaxing today. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Being distant with a person who has hurt your feelings will not solve the problem you are holding inside. This person must be told what he/she has done wrong and given the chance to apologize. Don't ever let the sun set on your anger.

I would be surprised if I had to get a teenager out of trouble today. But there's always a slim chance.

Maybe you'll get lucky... (doesn't sound like something you would do, actually!) May 13, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Put on your blinders to keep you focused on the straight line that you must walk. If someone has more than you do, it may be that he or she is entitled to it. Prove yourself worthy of your own kind of reward. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You may feel trapped and want to escape. Your departure will have its consequences, but perhaps your moment of relief will make them worthwhile. Remember to explain yourself to the people who care. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You're quick to suspect someone whose motives are unclear. Avoid any transaction that doesn't directly concern you. Face your own challenges without distraction or interference. A focused mind makes all the difference. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Wrap up your week with a demonstration of everything that you've been talking about. A modest sideshow becomes the main act of the circus. Your training makes the impossible look easy. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You may not be able to change someone else's mind, but you can be comfortable in your own.

May 13, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Dealing with an opinionated person today could cause a few sparks as you are highly opinionated yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Try not to get involved in an argument with a person whose has his or her mind made up, especially if it is a spouse or you will have a long term, running fuss on your hands.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) This is not a good day to have a confrontation with an authority figure as you may not come out of it looking good.

May 13, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) You can make money through your own creative efforts. Your good ideas and ability to discuss your intentions with those who can assist you will ease your plight. 4 stars

May 13, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're rich with the fuel that runs your engine. A phone call or email to or from another part of the world brings you a global perspective. Get to work, happy in the knowledge that you're doing your part. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Your sense of duty gets the better of you. Even if you envy the pleasure seekers of the world, those feelings don't interfere with what you have to do. Everything has its time and place. You can wait. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily An exciting risk has a dark side. Before putting yourself in unnecessary jeopardy, consider the consequences of failure. Reasonable people will understand if you walk away from a challenge. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily This is the wrong moment for false claims and hoaxes. The Virgo Moon is here to hold you accountable for every word that you say. Know your limits, and admit to them when challenged. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily The crowd knows best, especially when they're your friends. Play along with a popular fiction, and maybe you can find a place for it in your life. The prize goes to the person whose style is the most winning. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Follow a good example. Understand a new method or philosophy before adapting it to your own purposes. Family or longtime friends may not approve of your changes. There might be a better time to make a sudden move. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Mental or spiritual stimulation is high on your list for this weekend. There's always room for a few more good people. A touch of celebration can inform and enhance your usual life. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Your soul could use a bit of searching. The Moon invites you into Virgo's house for a tune-up. All the usual seductions will be there later, whether or not they still hold their appeal. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The most inspiring words to Virgo are, 'Get your house in order.' While you may not be perfect, you're pretty darned good. Anyone who doesn't love you for your flaws is just a waste of time. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're challenged, but maybe not in a good way. The tug-of-war between Mercury and Venus precipitates a crisis of esthetics. You might have to choose between instant gratification and long-term satisfaction. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily If there's a social event in your weekend, expect an important connection to happen. A stranger comes to the forefront, or an old acquaintance steps into a new light. A common bond connects the past to the future. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You may be special, but there are limits. The rules are in place for everyone to observe. Instead of wasting your energy challenging the system, be creative within it.

May 14, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're cast in a power suit that perfectly matches your ambitions. Result-oriented people can expect a great day. Those who want to relax will feel wonderfully grounded. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Others are still playing, and you're still working. This is getting old, isn't it? Keep your reasons in front of you before the doubts start eating away at your resolve. You will be rewarded for this sacrifice. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Thinking too much only brings you around the circle one more time. Nonlinear logic and intuition don't stand up under cross examination, but there must be something to them. Sooner or later, nature takes its course. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Even if you aren't happy with yourself, someone thinks you're special. Perhaps many love you. It's okay to rely on others for a pat on the back. By tomorrow, you should be your strong, familiar self again. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Happy times await you. You're filled with youthful energy, no matter what your calendar age. If you have something to say, deliver the message in a song or a dance. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Seek the quiet of your own thoughts instead of trying to be heard above public noise. Home improvement projects are both meditative and practical. You'll have something to show for your efforts by the end of the day. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily It's a myth that Cancer always hides in their shell. You let it all hang out, flying your flag for the world to see. If people think that you're being loose and dizzy, just let them try your sharp mind in a battle of wits. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Think twice before throwing away some of that disposable income. Instead of laying out the cash, create something that works or looks just as good. It always helps to remind yourself how useful you can be. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The stars have sent you an excellent day. You're relaxed, efficient and easily impressed by people who know what they're doing. Showcase your own skills, as well. This is one moment when everything works. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Productivity seems out of the question. Mind someone else's business if that's what it takes to rescue you from your own thoughts. Even shallow amusement is better than complete boredom. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Anyone who gets your attention receives a great gift. Your small acts of kindness establish you as a valued community member. A secret plan still has lots of room for last minute changes. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Your guiding light is obscured by fitful clouds. A moment of darkness is a poor excuse for striking out blindly. You can probably guess which decisions you'll later regret.

May 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A good day for you today and if you play your cards right you could wind up with that position you have been after. In the arena of love Aries shines today, but be careful not to be so aggressive that you scare your future spouse off before you have had a chance to win him or her over. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) In the spirit of Springtime your love blooms like the flowers. This is a wonderful day for doing your lawn chores and spruce up jobs around the home place. Others will find their working conditions to be improving with the firing of a particularly depressing coworker. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Changing horses in the middle of the stream today could be your undoing so try to stick to a decision once you have committed yourself to it. Children may need some extra time tonight and if you have not had that all important talk about drugs now would be a good time. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) Home and family comes first with you and you gather all your resources today to move them into a new home; you will find this to be the best move you have ever made. A new career that failed to get started may get a boost today and you set your goal to a level you can reach. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Fighting over unimportant little things is not the wisest thing to do because even if your spouse wins, you will build up a lot of resentment in the relationship. Don't be too quick to jump on a coworker today as this person is working as hard as he/she can. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Your attitude towards someone who works hard for you leaves a lot to be desired, especially when she is ill. Try being more compassionate, and letting the person know that you care about her and not just how much she can do for you. Your business outlook brightens up today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) A new love has you in a daze and you are walking on cloud nine. Time to come down to earth to make a few decisions, you need to evaluate the relationship and where it is headed so you can make some informed decisions concerning your future, no one ever gets younger. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Scorpio, the lovers lover! Today you will meet your match in the department of romance who will sweep you off your feet. This could be the one that will finally settle you down and make you think of home and slippers. If you are already married you will find your love will blossom anew. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Family members do not always react the way you would like them to no matter how hard you push. Maybe it would be a good idea to just back off and let them live their own life while you concentrate on you for a change. It' time you go out and do some of the things you have always wanted to do and let the rest go their own way. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Reliable Capricorn may be ready to chuck it all and go out and kick up a rumpus, go ahead, you deserve to have a little fun, especially if the rest are going to treat themselves, (on your pocketbook), to a day of fun and leisure. Be careful not to change your image at work though, that could spell disaster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Since your forte is entertaining you will shine today as your party for the soon to be wed gets under way. Family and friends pitch in and help you get the house and the refreshments ready for the afternoon. Love is definitely in bloom and this may give someone close to you the right idea. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) It has been a long time in getting here but your time has finally come. The day ahead is filled with good things for you, such as a raise at work, meeting a new love, having your investments pay off, etc.. All in all, a very good day when luck dogs your steps. ------------------------------------------------------------ These original horoscopes are based on planetary aspects and configurations for each sun sign.

You're a guaranteed winner for the next few days. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Is everyone ignoring you? If so, you have that much more freedom to experiment and make mistakes.

By day's end, the connections are falling into place. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Your appetite gets the better of you.

Savor the feeling while you have it. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily It's time to bring aboard a coconspirator. You know many qualified people who can help in the areas where your own experience doesn't reach. There's an approaching deadline that you want to meet, if not beat. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily There's more to life than looking pretty. Put your charms to good use -- or excel in an area that has nothing to do with appearances. You're a person of many talents, and all of them are crying out for some exercise. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily The weight falls slowly but surely from your shoulders. Stand upright with new energy and resolve. You may need to fight for what you want, but in the process you're likely to gain something even better. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily This is the test drive where the rubber meets the road. Now you're too focused on the present to worry about the outcome.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Wanting to do your own thing and go your own way is a common need among most people and perfectly acceptable in the single person, but if you are married you should keep them apprised of your plans but do tell them of your need to spend some time alone; your spouse will understand. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Your productivity is high during the morning hours but you may start to feel fairly annoyed as you find your plans for the afternoon being changed one after the other by other people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Today your intuition saves you from being imposed on by someone who is a known user of people, a 'bloodsucker' who would take whatever he can get and take off.

People can breathe the same air and yet inhabit very different worlds. Understanding is the key to innovation. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Shared business ventures grow slowly in rocky soil.

Man this is right on for today, I've been cramming system admin and webserver stuff all day. Solaris. Netscape Enterprise. NT System Administration. Vignette. It's been a *heavy* day of studying, about 10 hours worth so far. And the saving money thing is right on, how are other folks doing with their scope. Marcia, can you form a committee to expand the users on the Spring?

Sur!, How do you suggest we procede or is that up to us, too? I've brought every male who has ever been clever enough to make me happy into Spring and a few ladies with the same attributes. Do you want us to round up entirely new Springizens or do you want to have me drag the ladies out of Drool to the rest of spring? If the latter is your thought, they already follow me around reading my posts but never say much themselves.

Mine is more like a Horrorscope than true. These were some others I did not post - too depressing! Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Change jobs, go after advancement, or look into doing your own thing.

On the other hand, worthy individuals and causes....*sigh*

Uncanny!

Whether you're busy or just coasting along, the next few days should be fun. By all means, talk to safe strangers -- they'll be glad to meet you.

How does one know a 'safe' stranger from the others? My momma said...

May 26, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Being involved with developments from their inception requires you to start slow and small. Be patient while you learn to do unfamiliar things. Don't be disheartened, because you're blazing a trail. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You enjoy the anonymity of being in a crowd today. You're feeling vulnerable, and you safe by hiding. Don't let slacking itself cause negative attention to come your way. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An emphasis on your job today can detract from the time you can give to your spouse. When others fall short of expectations, teach them what they need to do. Use your position to transmit your skills. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Increased responsibility tests your ability to handle pressure. As your authority grows, so does the need to show graciousness. You can be respected and followed, or hated and obeyed. LEO (July 23-August 22): Your ideas about people are apt to be wishful thinking. Whether you idealize or demonize them, stop and ask yourself why it pleases you to think about them this way. It can't be because it's true. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Certain relationships can reach a crisis over questions of loyalty. Can the relationship support you in achievement, or is it pulling you down? Communicate your need to be yourself and for improvement. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Evidence of your effectiveness is slow in coming, or may remain hidden. Lack of feedback makes you feel like your efforts are useless. Focus on your ideals and the knowledge you're living up to them. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): You're prone to doubt yourself today and let others control you. If you can't help this, be absolutely certain you're being guided by people with your interests at heart. You're ripe for exploitation. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): You feel you have outgrown certain circumstances. Be willing to let go of nostalgia in order to make room for new things. When you want to cling for security, let go and face uncertainty. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): What's good for your partner isn't as good for you today. You may feel like you should be blamed, but there's no need to feel guilty over unforeseen circumstances. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): It's a big mistake to let somebody else decide how to use you money. Keep strict control of it today. You're prone to splurge it on nonessentials, so control even yourself. PISCES (February 19-March 20): Your management style should be more like counseling today. You can't tell people exactly what to do, but you can communicate the attitude, motive and intent which should be driving them.

May 26, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Don't take it personally if you're unsuccessful. The problem could be one of many, some of which are obviously beyond your influence. Keep on trying until you get it right. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Have fun with your personal freedom -- it's hard to come by and easily missed. Fueled as you are by success, you wonder why certain things are considered risky. Change makes you wealthy in great and small ways. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Once you've spoken your mind and unburdened your heart, there's nothing more to do. Intervention isn't a solution in itself. Let others have their own opinions. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Thinking is no match for actually doing. Expand the range of things at which you excel. If you have any hidden talents, now is the time to reveal them. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Try to keep from falling apart, even as you hold it all together. In a less than gentle maneuver, you could be hauled around to face your beliefs and values. This is one week that you'll be happy to kiss good-bye. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Each change of opinion shoots through you like a bolt of glorious lightning. You're ready to walk an old path with a new perspective. Put your thoughts in writing to preserve this perfect moment. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Imperfect parts are drawn together to make a perfect whole. The thing that annoys you about a loved one might actually be his or her greatest strength. Personal remarks are inappropriate in a business discussion. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily The best way to get someone's attention is to repeat yourself. A controlled stream is more effective than a wide, scattering spray. Turn the problem into an element of your solution. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily There's an uneasy interface between theory and reality. Human behavior is a random factor in an otherwise perfect equation. No one is asking you to give up, but you really should reexamine your premise. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Your imaginative mind pulls out all the stops. Creative, forward-thinking people are drawn together into productive little knots. Love underlines what is already obvious. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily If you haven't already learned to do it right the first time, today's adventures teach you quickly enough. Return your calls immediately. The situation may be unstable and in need of constant adjustment. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You're in love with yourself, but the feeling is easily transferable. A carnival atmosphere sweeps into your life. This is one big tent where everyone is welcome to enjoy the show.

May 27, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A fox or a hunk may be just coming into your life now and you are on the proverbial cloud nine as you are introduced to the dreamiest person you have ever met. Don't be too ready to fall as this person may only be looking for fun and games, but if you play your cards right you could hook your fish in a hurry. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your linger longer guests have finally left and now you have the house all by yourself. What is that wonderful sound that is quickly getting to you? Why, it is peace and quiet, but now you are ready for some noisy entertainment so you go out and seek friends. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Someone is walking on your bad side today but it is best if you meet opposition with optimism and a smile, this should confuse them so bad that they just may wind up on your side after all is said and done. A family jaunt to the mall may be just the thing after nightfall. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Friendly fire is what you will be under today as friends and family 'take you to task' over something they feel you have fouled up, and will only hurt you and them in the long run. You have the jump on them as you know that your ideas and actions were positive and you cause them to take a wait and see attitude over the matter. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You Get a great opportunity today to make an investment that will make the future more prosperous and happy. Investigate all aspects so that you will be able to understand all the fine points; never go into anything blind, even a good deal. Advice comes from all directions, make up your own mind. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Love is in the air even if the flowers are not in bloom, as you are always ready for romance. This is a great day for getting closer to that special someone as you find different ways to make this person happy. Friends are not invited today and you two find fun ways of evading them. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Luck rides the wind and lands on your shoulder, and before you deny it think over the events of the day as they hap- pened and ask yourself just how lucky you really are, I think the experience could be an eye-opener. Children come in for some attention today and you take your group for an outing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Scorpio is a king of a man, commanding and possessive, but where does that leave the female? How about the power behind the throne? The queen. Directing and guiding the others using wisdom and love, as you have found out already. The male and the females will find themselves extra lucky today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You think of your job, ho hum. Not so, as this job can be as big or as exciting as you care to make it but it will take many things to get there, push and drive, as well as, charm and ingenuity, but when you have finished traversing the road to riches you will have a wonderful sense of satisfaction; take that first step. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Wedding plans for you may be on the way out the window for now as you have met someone new that has turned your head and your heart all around. Be fair to the person that you are seeing now by telling him/her your true feelings, and you might be surprised that you barely beat this person to the punch. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Acting aloof and distant today will not get you in good with that favorite person who is really just getting well acquaint- ed with you, and that will not make a favorable impression concerning your ability to be understanding. Take it slow and turn on the charm if you would wed this gem, otherwise it could be a longer winter than you expected. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A family affair may be just another way to divide up a great wealthy relatives estate and you think it is ghoulish and decline the invitation. You don't have to attend as your love and devotion has not gone unrewarded. Your immediate family agrees with you one hundred percent and back you to the limit.

May 27, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Money is tight, but not completely unavailable. Apply yourself to the mystery that no one else can solve. The fact that you're still in the game is a point in your favor. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily A superficial approach starts taking you deeper. Satisfy your real needs, instead of just chasing wild urges because you can. The people who matter are now giving your requests some serious thought. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Many things are possible, but only a fraction of them are probable. Late in the day, luck will come to your rescue. Until then, limit yourself to activities that don't require much patience. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Good leadership is impossible in a vacuum. If you need help, someone else should know about it. Common courtesy reaches into every area of your life. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You seem to have missed a chance, but you probably weren't ready to take it anyway. Your troubles are nearly over. By this time tomorrow, the whole thing will look like a joke. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Your plans have less and less to do with what's actually happening. Recognize a familiar pattern that might be wearing a different face. Your aim is true if you know your target. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Some things are simply beyond your ability to change. Give it a rest for the weekend. There's more to your life than the single issue that has lately consumed you. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You make a small, fortunate mistake that immediately feels like a smart decision. Your heart has obviously taken over the navigational duties. Surrender to these feelings and see where they lead you. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Children have nothing to hide, even when they think they're keeping a secret. Why keep on guessing when someone will volunteer the answer? The truth is even richer and stranger than you imagined. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Your romantic journey takes you to deep and secret places. Embrace the return of something that you never noticed was missing. This fleeting moment could turn into one of your most valuable times. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You need a real break instead of just another day of the usual downtime. You're eager for different surroundings and a set of fresh faces. When making a new friend, be sure not to unveil all of your problems at once. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily All is not as clear as you'd like it to be. No language in the world can change someone's mind about a point of faith. You quickly see who your best allies are going to be.

May 28, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) You will find it difficult to deal with family members who are stubborn and unwilling to compromise.

You must continue to work on your personal goals. 3 stars (guess I will not hear from Lance tomorrow, either - but did tonight!) Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Get out and socialize with friends. You should look into physical activities that will provide you with exercise as well as competition. Follow through on your unusual creative ideas. 5 stars (Yeah, John! Quit being so distant and silent!)

May 28, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Your ship comes in, carrying the holy grail and that pot of gold from the end of the rainbow. If you seek closure, this is it. If you seek an opening, now is the ideal time for a clean break. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Think long-term thoughts these days. There's a cheaper, more effective way than the one that you're now considering. Let your mind go wild -- your genius will amaze you.

The universe delivers just about anything you want right to your doorstep. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily As usual, you really want to get on to the next thing. In all your eagerness, you might overlook something important. Pay attention to the half-remembered clues from your dreams. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You're happy to lend a hand at turning a private enterprise into a community effort. When you take on someone else's problem, you're stuck with it. You can live with any good idea. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You may not care about superficial things, but others notice them right away. Take your head out of the clouds before your absence irritates somebody else. If you have nothing to say, at least listen to what's being said. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Time flies in the charmed presence of your beloved. Burning up your energy reserves has never felt so good. With your mind otherwise occupied, let your body do all the work. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily As you happily kill time, remember that you can't reclaim those lost moments. You're reminded about higher values and greater efforts. Do what you should be doing, and have fun with it. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Virgo walks the fine line between knowing enough and too much. Your actions are likely to expose any secret that you're trying to keep. If challenged, you have no choice but to tell the whole truth. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You didn't really expect to accomplish much, did you? Even if you can't do anything about them, all these disruptions make life interesting. Take notes on any new suggestions for decorating or reorganizing. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Nurse and groom your surprises for their eventual dramatic release. Some may guess what you're doing by the subtle way that events around you are taking shape. Trust only those that you know. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You may understand it all, but not many will understand you. Avoid handling your valuables -- you might lose them right now. For now, the past might feel like a more comfortable place than the future.

Surely there's a better way to make your point. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily If it all falls apart this week, at least you know the pieces well enough to collect and reassemble them. Even if you're prepared, why take chances? Lost time is lost time, ready or not. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Someone may have forgotten an agreement that you clearly recall.

May 30, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Hidden things are shaken loose in the tug-of-war between your outer and inner worlds. The old definitions may have to be revised if you want to keep using them. Your heart's voice is loud and maybe not so happy. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You're happy to force a change, whether cosmetic or fundamental. Anything that you initiate will leave the gate at top speed. Even serious business can be fun right now. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Permanent change is slower than you'd like it to be. There must be a more effective way to address your impatience. Sooner or later you'll have to live with the consequences of a rash action. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily You're ready to try something new, different and positive. This is more about improvement than novelty. The sooner you get there, the happier you'll be. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Something pulls at you, forcing your hand. Even if you have no control over the accelerator and the brakes, at least you can still steer. Creativity is your salvation, but it can also be your triumph.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Virtue is necessary, but not necessarily comfortable. It's okay to act with caution, just as long as you do something. Someone out there expects nothing but the best from you. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily It's almost scary how you inspire the worship of people who should be your equals. Take advantage of an offer without appearing to use the donor. Honorable intentions will last longer than this fleeting burst of power. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily If you can't explain why you need help, you may have to fix the problem on your own. Some people work by intuition, and others read the manual. Find your own rhythm, and prove yourself to those who doubted you. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Someone that you know well exhibits unusual behavior. It's time to get a few answers -- in a gentle, loving way, of course. Even if you're part of the problem, you can still become part of the solution. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You're free to start whatever you want, although you could face many obstacles. The person who interferes with you is probably unaware of what he or she is doing. Be polite. Tone of voice is everything. agittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You have many reasons to be happy -- make a list just to prove it. All the details of your personal life may not be ready for mass consumption. More people will laugh with you if they can understand what you're talking about.

June astrofish.net Astrological overview: The big news at the beginning of the month is that Jupiter and Saturn are still running neck and neck in an astrological foot race, but Jupiter, ever the faster planet, pulls out and he just barely graces the beginning of Gemini by the end of the month. Mars and Venus slide apart, but they are together in both Gemini and then Cancer this month, and Cancer gets a special birthday treatment from Mercury: Retrograde. So shortly after Cancer begins on the 21st, the little one starts a backwards crawl on the 23rd. The usual caveats apply. Aries : A lot of astrology research goes into a decent prognostication. And this month looks like you finally get off on a right start with some new cycle which means money, happiness, and a chance to start over. And if I ever hear the term "reinventing" one more time, I think I shall grab a deer rifle and head to the post office. It's not an expression which has a lot of meaning, either. My loose definition of "invent" means to make something which didn't exist before, so if you're "reinventing" then it means the same thing, make something again, that didn't exist before. I hope you catch the circular reference in the term. But this month is no circular reference, other than there are two opportunities, one at the beginning of the month, and one at the end of the month, to do a little inventing. I doubt that you're going to sit down with pencil and paper and draft a new design for a fishing lure. But like the guy who made the now famous "no weed" hook, your day to day activities hold just such a possibility. It's not something that you notice right away -- this is a subtle influence, but you've got the gem of an idea that could actually benefit us all. Just remember to patent the idea before you go public. And whatever you do, don't get stuck trying to "reinvent" the wheel -- that one's been done already. Taurus : There's one text which constantly referred to Saturn as "an old devil." Before this month is up, you're going to be inclined to refer to him in a similar way, as an old devil. But there's a strange connection in here, and I'm making an attempt to stray away from he conventional mythology associated with the the term "devil." In country music, a prevalent influence in my part of the planet, "fallen angels" are required on every singer's album. There's always one song about just such a character. This "fallen angel" and Saturn have a lot in common this month. Before you dismiss the ballad I'm alluding to, though, consider that out of the past carnage of the last few months, out of the apparent wreckage, you're going to rise, just like that fallen angel, and you've got a chance to save some one. Personally, and from the volume of mail I've received about this, I hope that some one is none other than yourself. A lick of hard work, a little luck when you least expect it, and a typical Mercury retrograde warning will go a long way in getting you through this month. It's going to be nasty little Mercury period for my fine Taurus friend, but you will survive. Besides, there is that ever present hint of a lucky break, you just have to keep after the hard work in order to create a place to have the luck show up. "If you ain't fishing, then you can't catch a trophy bass." Gemini : My favorite Gemini really has some difficulty with Mercury going retrograde. But the upside of this equation is that it's a good month until the Sun slides out of Gemini, on the 21st. That gives several weeks of things being good, and if you're willing to take a little advice, prepare for the worst with this Mercury retrograde. It's not like it's a long period, but the first two thirds of this month are really quite fun whereas the last third is time when you feel like you just aren't getting anywhere at all. Under a similar influence, I once purchased a delightful piece of "bachelor" art work. It was a badly drawn topless woman (rendered to perfection in bad taste on black velvet). My male friends enjoyed this immensely. Female guests, however, found this dubious artwork in very bad taste. I suppose a Venus de Milo would have been okay, but I couldn't find that on black velvet. This particular piece of artwork is just what the final third of this month is like. Some folks love it, but the people you really want to impress find your efforts lacking. And with the planets moving into a Cancer position in your chart, you're going to find that you want to decorate around the trailer house a little. I wearily suggest, from a position of having "been there," that your Gemini self should not engage in bartering for artwork at the end of the month. It seems like your judgment is bound to offend someone. When Gemini is over, then "zip it." Cancer : First it's having Mars in the last stop on the block before it gets to your sign (that would be in Gemini). To a lesser extent, the same applies to Venus, still in Gemini, too. Then, just about the time everything is supposed to get good again, it's a miscellaneous Mercury messing matters up for you. It's like you don't get ahead this month. There's going to be one or two Cancer individuals rather upset with me because I didn't adequately warn them that this month isn't going to go the way they want it to. And, of course, this whole Mercury problem is going to be a bit problematic. Now, in your proper Cancer fashion, there are ways to deal with this time frame. Slowly. Painstakingly. Step by step. Inch by inch. Check all the details. Make sure you read the fine print. I got a lure once, supposed to work anywhere. Of course, there was one small catch -- or lack of catch, as the case was -- it disintegrated in salt water. And to make this worse, after I pitched fit with the sales rep, he calmly pointed to the fine print, underneath the big label "Work ANYWHERE" and it said in tiny two point type: not for use in sea water. So much for Gulf Coast fishing. Read the fine print before you make a cast with that new high tech gear. Leo : Timing is everything, and while there are actually a number of influences which serve as excellent indicators for the tone to the month, the easiest way to look at is by thirds. The first two thirds of the month are good. The final third is "less than Leo wonderful." While it looks like I'm taking an easy way out of writing a decent scope, and just addressing Mercury, that's not really the case. There are numerous influences which have to do with this month. Of those, though, I noticed that they all seem to move in a synchronized pattern, and it looks like the final portion of the month begins to fray around the edges. If it's like the cut offs I was wearing to fish in, it's not much of a problem. However, at least one of my fishing buddies has taken great umbrage at my exposed body parts. So when this month begins to fray really badly, you're going to want to consider one of two routes: extensive, time consuming repair work, or maybe, this time, it's a good idea to consider just tossing the old cut offs out. There's only so much you can do with a final third of the month which keeps coming apart at the seams. Don't fix something that isn't broken, but don't try to repair something which isn't worth the effort. Virgo : I was supposed to teach an astrology class overseas. Since this is the highly technological world, I did one of those terribly cute little graphic designs on my PowerBook laptop computer, and I had everything ready for a stunning presentation. I had a number of good slides, animations, pictures with circles and arrows, little visual clues to help the with the presentation. All I needed was a way to plug the computer into the the overhead projector. Having done similar presentations throughout the American Southwest, I was sure this was going to be a snap. I even included some "British" spelling and punctuation because I find it so terribly quaint. A bright Virgo reader can see where this is going, and a really bright Virgo reader will inwardly groan, too. Mercury is the Trickster, and he will have his way. All the work I put into that computer generated presentation was for nothing. To be honest, it was all a really good exercise, and it did eventually find its way onto the web site. But it wasn't displayed during my lecture because the American male parts didn't fit with the British standard female parts. And so forth. There is no way to prepare for all the contingencies this month. You can try, but I doubt everything will be covered. But you can do your very Virgo best, and you can be ready for some things. Of course, the final option is the lug an overhead projector with you wherever you go this month, that would really help get the point across -- but I'm not sure that's really a viable option for you. Libra : In Texas, June is the time when the weather heats up. And it doesn't much matter where you on this spinning globe, you're going to find that "things" heat up rather nicely in Libra, at least, "things" seem to get the BBQ grill treatment in the early part of the month. This is because Mars and Venus, along with Mr. Sun himself, are all in Gemini. And this is a good thing for you. So as long as your personal BBQ grill is warmed up, even if it's not really summer time "down under," then you've got some options which are wide open. There's a problem, though, because Mercury is turning Retrograde, and he's going to pull his stunt at the latter part of the month, and there's going to feel like there's a sudden turn in events. Halfway through the month, the phone stops ringing. It might be because the phone was disconnected. It might be because the lightening struck a high wire. It could be any number of natural events. Or it could be because of the planets. Or you forgot to send in last month's bill with an appropriate amount. Best idea for things to do when the phone stops ringing? Head to the beach. Head to the lake. Head to the mountains. Go some place you like to go on vacation. In fact, the latter part of this month is ideally suited for a vacation of some sort. If you have problems arranging a vacation, suggest that your astrologer dictated it for your mental health. Scorpio : There's nothing quite as good as a little Mars action to really get a Scorpio's tail in a twist. And there's nothing quite as much fun as playing a little game with a Scorpio's psyche to see just how tormented you can get them. The planets will have just such a game going on all month long. Now, in strictest of terms, this not so "bad" over all, but it is a little uncomfortable. You've got no big planets making strong waves to contend with. You've got lots of minor planets causing small amounts of friction. It's like my old truck's motor -- it needs oil. Some folks have suggested that the weekly allotment of a quart of oil is far too much, but it just makes the truck a lot happier. Besides, if it really is a Scorpio truck, then it is set in its ways, and it's a lot easier to add lubricant rather than trying to actually pull the motor apart and fix the leaking seals. You're like that, like the truck, this month. Solid, dependable, and somewhat lacking in lubrication. Do your very best to smooth over rough spots. Try something different. And rather than trying to take the whole motor apart (getting that transmission out is a big chore, in and of itself), consider just adding a quart of oil to your Scorpio motor. You might want to check the level of the water in the radiator, too, because you need to make sure you don't loose your cool, especially in the early part of the month. And in the last little bit of the month, even though Mars is no longer in an adverse position, you're going to want to make sure that the Mercury stuff doesn't get to you ass well. Sagittarius : This month starts out so well, it has such promise, it shows all sorts of signs of being a great time, and then, everything slows down. Gemini is a remarkably good time for the ever ebullient Sagittarius. The early summer mornings in Texas have this ethereal quality to them, the air is warm, but not too sticky. There is a cool breeze on the lake, first thing, and even if you're not in the Northern Hemisphere, you can appreciate the fact that the first part of this month is like one of the tranquil moments in the early dawn of the day. Just you (and me), a cup of coffee, the rose colored light seeping into the sky, you inhale the fresh aroma of the ground beans, and figure out that this is a good day -- or month. Like I've suggested, it shows much promise. The problem is that the planets seem to conspire to make this a little less than wonderful. From the idyllic beginnings, you sip on the coffee one more time, and Mercury is in Cancer, and then slows down, goes retrograde, and you find yourself, by the end of the month, spitting up those coffee grounds which have leaked through the filter into your otherwise wonderful beginnings. By the end of the month, the coffee filter over flows, and there are some remaining detritus floating in that morning cup of coffee which started out with such promise. Do like any decent Sagittarius cowboy would at a time like this, at the end of the month, be prepared to strain your coffee with your teeth. It's not that much of interruptions, and you can make the most of it -- not letting it disturb the scene -- if you're willing to. Capricorn : This is another month when I will look absolutely stellar in what I do. My typical "Mercury is Retrograde" tales of woe, warnings of plans that go horribly awry, the misunderstandings and misfires, all of that which accompanies this single planet's movements will be cataloged and sent by my faithful Capricorn friends. But it's not really just Mercury that's causing the mayhem. There's a lot more up with the planets, and there's a deeper significance than the usual Mercury shenanigans. Mercury can't be responsible for everything. In this case, he's certainly not. Just about the time he starts slowing down and creating havoc, there's a strange little strength that you get from another corner of the sky. I'm not naming planets for fear that would give away my secrets, but a certain car [brand name] like planet is lending you a degree of ease and grace. And unease. This month, think about the rodeo metaphor which I use too much. This month, think about what it means to get on top of that 2 ton animal with a small brain and bad attitude. This month, consider the actions before you take them. Mercury is seldom a heavy hitter, but he's got a few planets stacked up behind him, and these planets are going to act "as if" Mercury was right. There will be a sudden change in direction this month. You've been causally drifting down stream, and then, in the blink of an eye, your fishing partner wants you to roar the boat to some distant point, way back where you've been before. Call it Mercury, and at time like this, a Mercury outboard motor is a lot better than oars. Aquarius : This month, select a fantasy. Pick one of your favorites. Get one that you really, really like, and indulge yourself a little. Sit there and have a long day dream about it. Get that picture firmly worked out in your Aquarius brain. Maybe, try like we do in Texas, visualize a five pound bass. Because the fishing allusion misses the mark with so many people, try then to visualize something that you really, really want. Maybe something you want for breakfast -- like a five pound bass. The way this month works out, while you're sitting there, working out the details of the catching that fantasy, the real world goes slipping by, and then, it slips backwards. If you stay out of touch long enough, you'll find that a lot of water does, indeed, go under the bridge. And this water does wash away some dreams. It also washes away some problems. That's the secret this month. Like a famous painting hanging in some French museum someplace, you've got that secret smile all month long. In fact, some of your furtive grin is due to the day dream. But whatever the source, you're going to find that the somewhat buoyant but reserved attitude is the best way to approach this. Maybe dream up a new job where you can fish -- and catch -- that five pound bass. Pisces : The beginning of the summer months in the northern hemisphere is not a time when most folks think about work. But if you past the usual, relatively minor influences this month, you're going to find that the bigger issue has a lot to do with employment. AS bothersome as the term "gainful employment" might sound to a polite, kind, gentle, caring, and sensitive Pisces soul, it's time to address this question. Got a job? Looking for a better one? Looking for ways to improve the odds for advancement? The stars are on your side at this time. Of course, there are the usual Mercury warnings, and the planets don't always comply in the best of order, but you do have a degree of hope for getting yourself ahead right now. Pulling yourself up by your own Pisces self works well. There's a good chance to start something, like pretty soon, and then, once the planets fall out of perfect alignment for you, there's a good chance to reap some benefits. The only warning is that it doesn't quite work the way you think it's going to. As you plan to become the dominant one in the work place this month, make sure you keep yourself fluid enough to make some radical changes to the general order of things.

Check your calendar to see where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing back around May 18. During the next few days, it would be good to follow up on, or put to rest, what you were doing back then. ( Half way to Nirvana? ) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Friday June 2, 2000 Libra is an Air Sign, like Gemini and Aquarius. Air Signs like to circulate.

The public mood again today is very light-hearted and frivolous. If you can't beat 'em, Scorpio, why not just join 'em? Scorpios are known for their black humor. Got a friend you can trust?

June 2, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Any further embrace of blind routine is pointless until next week. There's a song in your heart, and a poem in everything that you see.

Unfortunately, some of the luxuries to which you're accustomed may fall outside of the current budget. Keep your gaze from wandering. Stick to the point. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You're a natural performer in the presence of other water and earth signs.

The richness of your environment dispels all the usual fears and doubts. Do only that which pleases you. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You're allowed to make just one mistake. No matter how subtle or spectacular your failure, it draws attention to what you're doing. Rely more on your own wits and less on fate. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily It's obvious that you mean what you say. You're brilliant without taking yourself too seriously. Strangers at a party assume that you're the host or guest of honor. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You may carry someone else's load for longer than you'd like. Maybe the favor isn't really necessary. Maybe you're just tired of helping. There's a graceful way to decline any further involvement. Think before speaking. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Instead of going to a foreign land, transform your own environment. Redecorate, eat a different kind of food and change the music. A minor evolutionary step happens once you've created the space for it. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Believe it or not, someone considers you a role model. Act as if people are watching you, and do only praiseworthy things. You'll soon forget the effort that it took to adopt your positive attitude. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Keep your fun to yourself. Choose your partners carefully and discreetly. There are certain sourpusses who might resent the sweetness showered on you. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Help is in short supply. Extra credit requires impossible effort.

June 3, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today ushers in a feeling of happiness brought on by the knowledge that you will be taking a long trip this weekend, and you will start this very afternoon, to an old familiar place where you will reestablish friendships you had long ago and also relive some of the happiest moments of your life. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) A relationship that you thought had stablized and you now take for granted will become a problem for you today, as the person you took for granted now wants out and into something more than a kiss and a promise. He/she is look- ing for a firm commitment in order to start a home and a family. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) This is a good day to start off your new health kick. Try joining a spa or a jogging club to take off the extra pounds. There is a possibility of a raise today as the boss notices your handling of a particular affair and notes your ability to relate. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Another week has wound down to a close and you find yourself avidly looking forward to a weekend of freedom and fun.

Take the children on a long trip this weekend to see the grand- parents, they don't get to see them near enough. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Pulling up stakes and moving to a different town may be just the thing for you, but be sure that you have gainful employment waiting: trying to find a job in a strange town can be hard to do. Friends will confide their secrets to you today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Weekend plans may be in for a few changes now that all the votes are in and you have been overruled. Don't take it so hard, you would not have enjoyed the first choice anyway. Children are especially good today and this makes you more inclined to go along with the families wishes, quietly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) A sad event may enter your life today, and you find your- self in the position of being the supporting influence to anothers sorrow along with a broad shoulder to cry on. Your great humanitarian inner consciousness would not let you be any other way. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) "Debts and taxes and so it goes.....", reminds you that this is June and another quarterly tax payment is coming up for all you self employed ones out there; don't forget the magic day! Today would be good to make your plans for the weekend, perhaps ready up the boat for a jaunt on the water. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Your attention will be centered around domestic matters and marital discord. Try to get things talked out and settled today as leaving everything hanging can only lead to the divorce court and you have spent too much time in the relationship to just let it go, not to mention the love you two share. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Both your career and your children will demand extra time and energy today as you give a lot of thought to changing jobs in order to give your career a boost, and the children have been with out your Personal attention too long which makes them jealous and unruly. You can get on top of this.

Gemini (May 22-June 21) Saturday June 3, 2000 Yesterday, the New Moon in your Sign stirred up a lot of excitement and activity. Today is a good day to channel all that energy into something new.

*grin*

(Knew you'd enjoy that!) June 3, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're the dignified Goat surrounded by a gaggle of silly geese. Resist the temptation to lash out with horns and hooves. Have whatever harmless fun is possible until you can bail out with safety and aplomb. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You feel like the most popular person on the planet. While it's flattering to be so in demand, you really don't have enough time to give everyone. At least you have the luxury of choosing among the best offers. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Your voice falls on deaf ears, or maybe even no ears at all. Think about correction rather than blame. If there's nothing at all that you can do, imagine how you'd recount this experience as a story or joke. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily This weekend, most advantages happen by accident. You show your originality in how well you recover from a mistake. Judge others as kindly as you would have them judge you. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Passing lust or inspiration feels a lot like true love. Be careful what you promise, even though you mean it now. Life is risky enough without your volunteering for more. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You're the first to tell the truth and the last to admit defeat. Show off the shortcuts that come to you so naturally. Even when having fun, you manage to do so with stunning efficiency. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily If you're having a problem with duality, you may not gain any insight today. You see choices and implications everywhere you turn. Your best course may be to do things that don't matter at all. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You're ready for action, drama and gratification. When playing with others, it's your job to ensure that everyone feels like a winner. Pay as you go to avoid surprises after the glow has faded. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You're easily distracted. Try to keep your mood light, even when you want to scream. There are many creative ways to politely make yourself unavailable. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Your job is to clarify the obvious even further. You have the gift of gab. Teachers with time on their hands create awesome lesson plans out of thin air. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Before you dismantle the safeguards, remember why they're in place. Just because you don't like someone, he or she isn't necessarily your enemy. Swimming against the current will only tire you out. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Someone is still waiting for the proof that you promised. Anybody can seem excellent on the surface, but it's what lies beneath that really counts. Stand up and make yourself proud.

June 3, 2000 Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Saturday June 3, 2000 The wave of energy that was peaking in your life yesterday is still at high tide today. It's still not too late for you to seize the day. Take advantage of that opportunity that's still staring you in the face. Make that call! Take that step! What are you afraid of?

Today you're entering the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you began back on May 13. You're running low on energy now, so don't push yourself. If you have been using your time and energy well, it's time now to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you haven't fared well during these past three weeks, it's time to say, "oops" or, "aw shucks" and forgive yourself. Promise yourself you'll do much better during your next energy cycle, which starts a week from now on Saturday, June 10. (no wonder he forgot my birthday.......) Saturday June 3, 2000 Everyone goes through a four-week energy cycle. Cancer, you're beginning a new energy cycle today. You're "in the zone." The Force is with you and waiting for your command. What do you want? What is your intent and purpose for the month ahead? Right NOW, tell your Self, "I want . . . ." Be specific. In your mind's eye, see it happening. In your tummy, feel that it's a done deal. Smile! Your wish is the Force's command. (Go for it, Dear *hugs*)

Each time you get off track this coming week, ask your Higher Power for direction. (Wow!!! and mine just said to be honest with my mate?!) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sunday June 4, 2000 Sunday is a good day to reflect on the personal meaning of your Sun Sign. Your Sun Sign shows what you want from a relationship. Libra means equality; fair treatment; sharing; peace and harmony. You have excellent social skills. You are the perfect peacemaker. Your greatest fear is having no one with whom to share your life.

(HUG, thanks)

That's five stars for sure, awesome.

June 4, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily A sudden change in the cosmic weather upsets everyone's plans. An innocent social situation becomes unstable. Despite your desire to stay out of it all, you could find yourself in a leadership position. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily You're treated to a walk in the clouds. The landscape of ecstasy is familiar, as though you retain the memory of it somewhere in the back of your mind. Your lover is probably here with you. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily You might have to ask permission for what you hope to do. Try using logic before you throw it all into an emotional appeal. As a final resort, you can skip the despair and head straight back to the drawing board. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily It takes longer to do something than it does to delegate it. Return phone calls and email right away. If you're ready to put your plans on hold, there's plenty of time for helping others. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Get an idea of the game that's being played before you jump into it. Someone's style, whether genuine or counterfeit, says much about the person who has adopted it. Soon you may need to choose a side. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Your brain is your sexiest feature, especially when someone gets you talking. You're allowed to generate without following through. There's too much bounty for you to commit at this early stage. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily The world is bewildered when you shout your fantasy from the rooftops. Having others laugh is almost worse than getting them angry. Cancer might need to come out of his or her shell, but you could do it with more practicality and less drama. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily In the words of the Firesign Theatre, 'I think we're all bozos on this bus.' Everyone's a clown these days. You're on a personal mission to teach society how to laugh at itself. Celebrate instead of simply mocking. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily While your gift might feel like a curse, others really appreciate what you do for them. One of these days, you'll have time for yourself, but right now the universe has other plans. Smile and look as if you care. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Diversity brings you a wide range of happy choices. You make new friends through a shared experience. A deep current rises to the surface, pointing the way for all who can see it. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily The view from the edge bores you when you can't go any further outward. Turn and face the light for now. Work with what you have. In a few days, the impossible will seem attractive again -- and maybe even possible. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Rather than trying to recapture a little piece of the past, move ahead. The audience has scattered and gone home. Any changes that you make now should be for you and you alone.

Oh man! Did that last one hit me right where I live. Anyone who knows me "well" can vouch for that...

June 5, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Turning all that anger into attitude and then channeling it into your business pursuits could make you an all around winner today. With that kind of positive 'go get it approach' obstacles fall like nine pins. Start a new file on the most important things you need to do this month so you don't fall behind. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Diplomacy and tact should be used today in all you say and do if you wish to get ahead or get the jump on an opponent. Close friends will keep your spirits soaring with their compliments. A new love walks into your life tonight and sweeps you right off your feet. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Who you know could count heavily in your favor today as you go networking to improve yours' or a friends' position with your/their company. Success must be seen as well as known so it is best if you spruce up the wardrobe and project a successful image to the world. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Behind the scenes action makes itself known to you today as you are asked to do some company traveling, in this case you really do not have a choice so, if you want to keep your job just keep on smiling and gas up the car. Take along a loved one and make a mini vacation out of it in between appoint- ments. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Doing only the things that you know best how to do is the safest route to follow in business today as you may get tangled up with a know it all who knows more about a cer- tain thing than you do, and you might never live it down. A relative helps you out of a tight spot tonight. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Your artistic side is alive, well and showing today as you do some major design work on a website that 'rocks'. This site is your ticket to success and it looks like you made the train on time. Today you can see an increase in your wages, but only if you ask. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Looking at a person with a new insight will show you just how much this person really means to you, perhaps more than you had at first realized. Financial negotiations are favored today and you will see lenders coming around to meet your demands. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't be afraid to ask for a small loan today as you have every chance of getting it providing your credit is good. A major purchase is in the bag for some of you and now all you need to do is get the family packed and moved...a big job!! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Be generous today with your love and your time as someone who can not fend for themselves needs a champion and you are the right person for the job. An important decision must be made today concerning the holiday season...all the plans are just waiting for your okay. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) This is the time that you need to bend the rules a little to give someone some space for breathing. Try not to inter- fere in anothers decision making process as that person must live with it, not you. A love interest may have your head in the clouds today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Gambling is not a wise thing to do as you could lose a lot of money. Any risky financial venture should be avoided until your sign is better aspected for this. Being snobbish is really not like you inside, but without special effort on your part someone will think you are. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Take all promises at face value today as you can not depend on follow through from th4e one doing the promising. The boss may have taken a liking to you because of your good work and this will do a lot for your career and advancement over time.

June 5, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Monday June 5, 2000 Geminis need to be around interesting people and work in a stimulating environment. During the morning hours, you'll be bored by people singing the Monday Moody Blues. The public mood will shift around 1 PM EDT (10 AM PDT). During this afternoon, evening and tomorrow, it will be much easier for you to connect with the people around you. (Oh Yeah! Goin trolling on Yahoo tomorrow again. Got a civil engineer today for Geo.....*grin*) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday June 5, 2000 Sagittarians need to be around bright, upbeat people.

(Terry, sounds like we should hang around tomorrow - too bad it is such a long swim!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Monday June 5, 2000 Cancer, you began a new four-week energy cycle last Saturday. The Force is ready and waiting to fulfill your Heart's Desire. NOW is the moment of power. Once again, tell your Self, "I want . . . ." Ask your Self, "How good am I willing to have it be?" And remember, "It is our attitude at the beginning that more than anything else produces a successful outcome." (Earl Nightingale) (This comes with special love and hope that it is true) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Monday June 5, 2000 Libra, you're in the final week of your monthly energy cycle. It's a good time to ask your Self: "Do I have a game plan for my life? Do I keep on making the same old mistakes?" Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." If you've been spinning your wheels for the past three weeks and getting nowhere fast, maybe your life needs a purpose. "What is the use of living if it be not to make this world a better place for those who live in it after we are gone?" (Winston Churchill) (Libra, please get in touch with me!)

June 5, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Fact and feeling diverge. You don't want to miss anything, although it's impossible to do everything. If you have a choice, black and white visuals are probably more effective than those in color. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily If you've tried and failed, at least you're in good company. Take it easy for the next few days, until the stars once again shine favorably on your endeavors. Catch up on light maintenance and minor record-keeping. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Strange and wonderful plants bloom within the usual gardens. What remains to be discovered is far more seductive than what you already know. Epicures and wine buyers are off to a memorable start. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily It's tough to escape the monkey on your back or the demons in your pocket. Work with what you have, even if it's less than perfect. These next few days will be a true test of your character. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You enter the new week with true colors flying in the breeze. Your voice is unlocked, and you're set singing. The social butterfly emerges from his or her cocoon and starts making the rounds. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You're levelheaded, focused and unmoved by the extremes of others. If you don't get it the first time, you know that there will be another chance. Pessimistic people are probably just unaware of all the facts. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily It's time to start over and do it all your way. Your comfort level is high. Your personal warmth thaws all the old chills, and you're eager to get your house in order. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Male and female energy circles in a slow, uneasy dance. You sense a possible explosion, but you don't know whether it will be good or bad. Beware of personalizing an issue that's probably neutral. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You can hold several conversations at once without losing any of the threads. Associates and clients believe your every word. You're happy to be here and ready to maximize on what's clearly a rare opportunity. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You may be too nice for your own good. The week is off to a harsh, competitive start. A subtle display of your battle scars should be enough to let the others know that you mean business. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily It's easy to forgive and a blessing to be forgiven. This festival of love is underscored by a liberal helping of good vibrations for everyone involved. Your house is big enough for many guests. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Ask the question when you think that you're ready for the answer. Someone tries to unite an unlikely group through unconventional means. Even if you know the game, you might still enjoy playing it.

June 6, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Self promotion is definitely the way to go today, but try not to do it aggressively as you will turn people off instead of helping your cause. Be sure to let your natural charm come through when dealing with the opposite sex, you will have them buzzing around you like flies.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your career plans are still uppermost in your thoughts and you should be able to make some great strides toward your goals today. Be sure that you are on time when you meet with prospective employers or business backers, it just wouldn't do to be late. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) If you are a creative person with some good works under your belt, then it is high time you went out and engaged an agent to get you the best deals possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Your good luck continues today as you are able to locate and secure that much needed financing for your business.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) If you combine your wit and charm with your natural leader- ship abilities you will find yourself in a position of authority before the day is over. Your spouse needs your strong influence as he/she goes through some trying moments in their lives. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Your thoughts aTe worth more than a penny today as you come up with some really innovative and moneymaking ideas that you find surprisingly easy to implement in your own business. You will spend a good bit of your time at home working in your own home based business and this gives you much satisfaction. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) An impulse purchase may be the best buy you have ever made. this is a big ticket item and in the years to come you will bless the day you made such a quick decision. This may even be the purchase of a business or stocks. Have some fun in the evening.

Oh My! I wish I knew which one they are referring to... Cannot have one, don't want the other, and there are 14 online who think I am the best thing in the universe....I need specifics, please!

June 6, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Tuesday June 6, 2000 Geminis are energized by having lots of different activities to choose from. They're motivated by their desire for diversity. Today the Moon is passing through the Sign of Leo, a "user friendly" sign for Geminis. You'll be tempted to bite off more than you can chew today. You'll be more confident and motivated to act out your desires. Strike while the iron is hot! Do what you want to do. But watch out that you don't get too scattered. (that means I will have them stacked more than 3 deep? And thre is only one I want and he is not on any of them...oh well. Some very nice secondbest guys out there) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Tuesday June 6, 2000 Cancer, normally you're a sensitive, responsive, caring kind of person. Today the Moon is passing through the Sign of Leo. Leo is not a "user friendly" Sign for Cancers. People in general will be in a boisterous, attention-seeking mood. Your Sign is in the "out"crowd today. You're out of your element for dealing with the public. You'll be "in" again late tomorrow afternoon. Til then, keep a low profile if you can. (*sigh*) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tuesday June 6, 2000 Sagittarians are energized by jumping on their horses and riding off in a new direction. A project you launched back in the Fall of 1999 was put to the test during Jan. 5-Feb. 12, 2000. If your new venture passed the test, it will become a success during the period from May 3-June 16. You'll have lots of nervous energy to make your vision a reality. Whatever you're doing will attract lots of interest. Strike while the iron is hot! Believe in yourself and go for it! (Good luck Terry!) -

(OK I'm ducking!, Guess who's Leo)

Hmm, now who could that be?

June 7, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You and a loved one may be making your wedding plans today. Searching for the perfect house will take a lot of your time, but never fear, you will find it. Work will be hard pressed to keep your attention as your head is spinning with everything but work. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Speaking with a financial advisor today could be your strong suit. Try not to go at things in a headstrong manner, thinking things over is your safest bet at this time. A teenager may need some extra guidance and attention now and you manage to find the time out of a busy day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You and a partner will be in perfect agreement during the early part of the day but you will need to use a lot of tact with this person in the later afternoon. Don't accept things to be the living truth that you hear from an un- reliable source, check it out. CANCER (June 22-July 22) An agreement that you have been working for can be had today but only if you work extra hard at it; this person will be hard to pin down. Today you have your head on straight and your thinking is logical and down to earth, don't let anyone throw you off track. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Daydreaming is not all bad but it can be devastating on the job. You may come up with some creative ideas but they won't be appreciated if you are perceived of as let- ting your immediate work slide. Family and friends help you and the spouse celebrate your very special occasion. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is not a day that you should engage in any games of chance or risk taking, either financial or personal. It is a good day for matters of the heart, marital agree- ments, and working with a home based business. Children may crop up with a problem but you soon solve it with your logical approach. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Your means of expressing yourself today will carry you a long way in your chosen field. This is the day for you to buy one or two lotto tickets, take a trip on a sight seeing boat, or some other thing that you don't ordinarily do, you could get a surprise. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) A rumor that may have been designed to break up your relationship with another person could be just that, a rumor. Don't believe things you hear about others unless the one doing the telling can also do the proving. Second hand news is worthless and inflated. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) This is not the day when you should give anyone the benefit of the doubt as you are under a deceptive trend and it would be best to check out everything you hear for accuracy. You can have fun shopping with a friend today if you just relax and let your- self. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) This is a good day for applying that recent knowledge you acquired in classes for updating your job skills and thereby impressing your boss. A raise may be in order for you. Good news arrives after dark via a telephone call. Relax and enjoy your night out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Listen to someone more knowledgeable about computers than you are, he/she will not steer you wrong and the advice could save you a lot of money on the purchase. Pay no attention to a certain rumor that is going around about another friend, there is nothing to it. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Got your presentation all together this morning? Good. You will be asked to give it early on and you must be prepared. The chances are good that this can lead to an executive position that you have had your eye on for quite a while.

Not the house male, Maggie?! *lol*

This is out of order but funny: June 6, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily You're the vision of sincerity in a roomful of shallow people. For a taste of perspective, remember how aloof you were to the last well-meaning soul who got in your face. Casual persistence keeps it from getting too personal. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Someone changed the rules when you weren't looking. You're slow to adjust and quick to anger. Find a comfortable place where you can safely sit out the rest of today. This won't last forever. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Love interferes with your routine, but of course you're not complaining. You're outfitted with wings, a jet pack and seven-league boots. You'll go far, and you'll get there in exhilarating style. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Your emotions are getting too big to swallow. A dramatic display could heighten other people's tension, even if it makes you feel better. Physical exercise is a positive force. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily The human touch connects members of the human family. Grouches and curmudgeons don't stand a chance against your onslaught of good cheer. Everyone profits from your story. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Distraction makes you seem naive or unprepared. You're rated on the quality of your performance, rather than on how much you can produce. Save the low-budget version for a day when no one is watching. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Overflow your boundaries to share what you have. Generosity transforms thieves into honest, productive citizens. Happiness may not be required, but most will find it inevitable. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily It's good that you can express your opinion. Be sure to let someone else have a turn. You really ought to know where you stand, once the balance shifts. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You learned a lot from being in a family, and now you're in a position to use some of those skills. Build consensus, make friends and work as part of an organic whole. All accounts are in order these days. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Be quick on your feet and adept in all your moves. Elusive as your advantage may be, you can still seize it. The differences between friend and foe should be obvious. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You know you're right. You know it's working. All that you have to do now is avoid gloating over your victory. The have-nots deserve a little consideration, too. You should know -- you used to be one of them. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Play within the system, and the system will treat you fairly. The universe frowns on rule-benders today. This could be one of those days when the universe sends you to bed early without supper.

June 7, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Wednesday June 7, 2000 On Thursday, June 1, you began a new energy cycle. That was 6 days ago. Remember where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing. The new wave of energy you released back then will come to a peak 8 days from now, around June 15.What is your intention? What form do you want this new energy to take? Today, everyone's suffering from "Moon Madness" up until 3 PM EDT (Noon PDT). Don't do anything important before then unless it's absolutely necessary. (Yahoo, here I come - watch out world!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Wednesday June 7, 2000 You began your current energy cycle back on May 18.Remember where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing. Your energy wave reached its peak last Friday, June 2. What happened? If you're satisfied with the last three weeks of your life, more power to you. If not, you'll be starting a new energy cycle on June 15. Plan now to make something wonderful happen in your life. Today, everyone's suffering from "Moon Madness" up until 3 pm EDT (Noon PDT). Don't do anything important before then unless it's absolutely necessary. (oh MY!!! More fun for Terry! Cancer (June 22-July 22) Wednesday June 7, 2000 On Saturday, June 3, you began a new energy cycle. Remember where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing. The new wave of energy you released back then will come to a peak 10 days from now, around June 17. What is your intention? What form do you want this new energy to take? Today, everyone's suffering from "Moon Madness" up until 3 PM EDT (Noon PDT). Don't do anything important before then if you can possibly avoid it. (Take refuge on The Spring - we'll protect you!)

I can get on with the important stuff now, since it's after 3!

Yup!!! June 7, 200 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily All loss right now feels like robbery. Your pride is fragile and susceptible to minor damage. You'll get your groove back in a few days. Meanwhile, plug the holes to keep anything else from escaping. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily If you want something too badly, you may jinx your hopes of ever getting it. Be more open in what you'll actually accept. Sometimes a substitute can be an improvement on the original. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Know when to stop. Your great idea may be misunderstood by others. There's no room for unilateral action in a bureaucracy. Eat a healthy lunch to better ground yourself in reality. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Lovers, teachers and evangelists are on fire with the force that drives them. People will surely appreciate where you're coming from, even if they don't agree with you. The next big thing is finally here. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You could be locking horns with someone as inflexible as you are. Call a standoff and rethink the situation. A battle of wills can only distract you from the good work that's supposed to be happening. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You're more likely to respect someone who challenges you than who rolls over and agrees with you. With tough love, the Twins goad each other to new heights. Try something that you've never before considered. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily 'Investment' is a broad term used to justify spending money. When shopping for yourself, why not simply consider it a reward? The Leo Moon demands that someone shower you with tokens of affection. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Everyone adores you -- and if not, who needs them? Your sassy attitude and winning ways are the talk of the town. You're likely to win in love or war, although that 'take no prisoners' approach may limit the contestants. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The pressure is on. You may feel as though you're in your element, but this is really an acquired taste. Use the proper equipment and be kind to your body. Reality will catch up with you sooner or later. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're happy where you are, although you could use some company. It should be easy to attract those who are a perfect match for your needs. All the right people can see how much fun you're having. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily If you taste power under the Leo Moon, there may be no stopping you. Whether you're sweet or pungent, a little bit of you goes a long way. Be considerate of those with their own agendas. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Forget the risks and uncertainties. Your heart demands that you speak out. After a quick cost analysis, your inner accountant gives a thumbs up. You get extra points for novelty and originality.

Hey, brownie points, I'll take 'em.

Grab 'em and Go for it! It has been such a rough week for you!

June 8, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Thursday June 8, 2000 Gemini, you're entering the second week of the energy cycle you began on June 2. Have you been moving your feet and seeing to it that your life doesn't get boring? Today is a turning point! Ask yourself, "How much fun am I willing to have in my life?" What's your answer? The results of what you've been doing during the past week are due to show up around June 15. (if it gets any less boring I will never sleep!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Thursday June 8, 2000 Today you're entering the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you began back on May 18. You're running low on energy now, so don't push yourself. If you have been using your time and energy well, it's time now to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you haven't fared well during these past three weeks, it's time to say "oops" or "aw shucks" and forgive yourself. Promise yourself you'll do much better during your next energy cycle which starts a week from now on Thursday, June 15. (flake out time for Terry!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Thursday June 8, 2000 You began a new energy cycle last weekend on June 3-4. At first, you may have felt little more than a vague urge or desire for something new in your life. It's time now to give this new energy more meaning and direction. Was anything particular going on in your life on June 3-4? What were you feeling then? Don't let your new burst of energy dissipate and amount to nothing. Today, tell yourself what you want to happen during the next several weeks. (Oh yes...and I know some willing accomplices) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Thursday June 8, 2000 Libra, if you're spinning your wheels and can't get your focus, or if you're feeling like you're in limbo, don't panic. There's nothing wrong. Tomorrow is the last day of your current four-week energy cycle. It's normal for you to feel like withdrawing. This is a good time to sit back and evaluate how well you're handling the art of living. Are you OK with the way you've spent these last four weeks of your life? Do you have the sense that you're living your life or that life is living you? In two days, you'll be starting a new energy cycle. It's time to warm up your dream machine. If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true? (yeah, Lance!!!)

June 8, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need to put your attention where your philosophy is. Your political, spiritual or moral beliefs are on the line in small everyday things. Let your every action be an expression of your beliefs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Friction with loved ones over money is likely today. Perhaps the children are asking to buy too much, or you're spending too much on your romantic interest. Be practical in your spending habits today. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't take for granted the people who are close and important to you. Just when you think you know them, they're demanding to be treated with attention and respect. Be attentive to their needs. CANCER (June 21-July 22): When you're getting preoccupied with how people are reacting to you, take charge and give them something positive to interpret. Your self-expression is excellent today, so speaking and writing are favored. LEO (July 23-August 22): Your problems today arise because you fail to apply yourself and your abilities. Don't fall into victimization consciousness. Instead of blaming, move on and make something of yourself. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): Domestic disharmony is showing up today, as well as personal conflicts at work. A separation is imminent if conflict resolution isn't begun. For others, it's a question of minimizing the damage. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Your prejudices are showing today, so you have to bend over backwards to treat people fairly and kindly. You have to struggle over your definition of "us" versus "them." SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): Change is in the air as old projects are completed. You must be inventive about coming up with new goals and objectives. Instead of being preoccupied with busywork, formulate worthy endeavors. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): You can feel overwhelmed as your time ultimately turns out to not be your own. There are conflicts as long as you can't reconcile your duties and responsibilities with your need for privacy. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Communication is important in group and social settings today. One idea sparks another as involvement with talented and dedicated people becomes intense. Group study is highly favored. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): Your selfishness is the cause of bad feelings when people need your help. Give them what they want, because a bond is being formed - you're just resisting it for no purpose. PISCES (February 19-March 20): There are tensions as you find yourself acting on your own without your emotional support systems. Friends and family aren't around to encourage you, so you need to draw on your inner strength.

June 8, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Bring in outside help to get you through a difficult time. Confusing signals throw off anyone who isn't a specialist. Expect complaints from upper management -- you know how to handle them. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Don't give more than you have to give. The recipient isn't expecting you to suffer for their equality. Enjoy the small, perfect moments that come your way. Allow for extra time in airports. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily A treat loses its flavor when it becomes a habit. Nudge yourself onto a different track, even if it might take you somewhere you'd rather not go. You can't stay in one spot forever. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Your audience is big and appreciative. There is no false move, just another intriguing variation. Even if you're engaged in serious business, it's time to have a little fun with it -- maybe even a lot. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Be tolerant instead of righteous, accommodating instead of arrogant. Most important of all, lower your voice. People will flee in terror from your roar. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Good news precipitates welcome change. Now there's an entirely new angle to consider. Call a taxi so that your mind can wander while someone else does the driving. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Present a unified face, even if you're still in disarray behind the scenes. The client assumes that you know which end is up. It's better to speak in hypotheses instead of actual promises. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You're the cat's pajamas, or if you favor a more natural state, the cat's meow. Your animal grace is enhanced by a nurturing instinct, making you irresistible and invincible. Love is all that you hoped it would be. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily The opposite of tension is complete neutrality. You may be too tired or overwhelmed to have an opinion. For a change of pace, try serving instead of expecting service. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily The people that you meet now leave a lasting impression. Maybe you've tapped into the right crowd. Perhaps your personal growth has taken you to a new level. Either way, be sure to collect business cards. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Your view differs considerably from the official version. This is the wrong moment to air a private disagreement. There's plenty of unconditional beauty in the world that everyone can enjoy. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Vision and desire evolve and mutate. You'll take on any partner who can prove that he or she is equal to your demands. Devotion to the cause has to include fun if it's going to be worth anything.

Hey, apt. I'm doing some heavy partnering today.

OOoooh ! Hope it is wonderful.

June 9, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Friday June 9, 2000 Gemini, no matter how footloose and free you become, you still have feelings and needs. Periodically, you feel the need to be with people who love and accept you just as you are, not for what they get from you. These nutritious people might actually be family members or may feel like family. Today is a good day to connect with a caring soul. Who in your life makes you feel good for being you? Get in touch with that person today and say "Thanks for being in my life." (don't know whether or not the person still cares...) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Friday June 9, 2000 As Benjamin Franklin said, "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of." Tomorrow is a turning point in the new energy cycle you began on June 3-4. Today is the time for you to take some form of action to make your wish a reality. Make up your mind! Decide to decide! Your intention is what counts.Don't waste time! (whatever you decide my friendship remains steadfastly in your corner) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Friday June 9, 2000 Sagittarius, you're in the final week of your monthly energy cycle. It's a good time to ask your Self: "Do I have a game plan for my life? Do I keep on making the same old mistakes? Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." If you've been spinning your wheels for the past three weeks and "getting nowhere fast," maybe your life needs a purpose. "What is the use of living if it be not to make this world a better place for those who live in it after we are gone?" (Winston Churchill) (Sheesh - this is a horoscope?)

June 9, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today the spotlight is turned on to academic matters, romance, travel, or leisure activities. You can be a winner in any or all of these areas, so plan accordingly. Tonight your social life is a plus and it can turn very romantic indeed! TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Being called out in the middle of the night by a friend who needs your help is one thing, but to have it happen in the day time while you are at work is something else again! You could wind up losing your job if things like that keep up. It is up to you to set the rules. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) That party you may be planning may be just the ticket to lighten up a boring day, just be sure you hold down the extravagance. Romance may take a serious turn tonight and you and the spouse to be embark on a savings plan in order to have a better start in life when the I do's are said. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Following through on your commitments is all important today as it could adversely affect your career if you are thought to be a prevaricator or a procrastinator. Night time is best for you on this date and be sure to follow through on any personal word you may have given to a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Be a little extra aggressive today but do it with charm and pizazz so you do not wind up hurting someones feel- ings. You will also be charming in the way you present yourself to the firms bigwigs. Romance takes a giant step tonight and wedding bells are in the air. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) The focus today will be on financial interests that you have in common with another, either a spouse or a busi- ness partner. You will be able to get your ideas across with little or no trouble since you are both on the same wave length for a change. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Long range career decisions may take up your interests for most of the day as you make that all important decision about staying with the job or striking out on your own. Try to dispel fear and listen to your inner consciousness, it won't lead you astray.

There is also an accent on domestic affairs and long range planning for the future; you and your mate are in perfect accord. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Today you will find that weekend getaways, leisure times, and romance plays a big role in your life today as you arrange everything for the weekend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Today you and your personal goals are in the limelight and you find that you are finally able to see light at the end of your tunnel. It would pay to be more careful with your overall dress and appearance now as you will need to make a good impression on someone important. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Today you should focus your attention on your financial interests and investments for the future. Heed some good advice from a fiancial manager. You may receive some praise from higher ups today, but be sure you do not let it inflate your ego.

I have been sending out invitations today (before I read this) on a really cool website for organizing personal events, http://www.timedance.com. Try it out for your next gathering. It even has a special design for pool parties. Maybe we'll use it for online gatherings, times where we all log in to the Spring at the same time.

June 9, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily It could be obvious what you have to do next. The position that you adopt now should be comfortable, because you'll be here for a while. An email or long distance call confirms your fondest hope. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily If you take the easy way out, you'll end up paying for it later. Be careful about confusing the symbol with the thing that it actually represents. It's okay to ask the opinion of a friendly specialist. Good advice comes free. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily A relationship is ready to be as good or as bad as you make it. You're smart enough to know what you want, and skilled enough to shape reality to your needs. This is a chance that you'd be foolish to miss. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Suddenly your life becomes cluttered. You might be easily distracted by the micro when you should really be paying attention to the macro. Look at the system's benefits instead of looking for what's wrong with it. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Since you're so close to the end, why not just finish? Your positive energy will carry you into the weekend. It would be great to anticipate a completely new challenge next week. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Your issues are on the table, even if no one else cares. If you continue this one-note symphony for much longer, others may start thinking of you as a one-trick pony. Broaden your mind in new ways. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily The little things make an enormous difference. Nothing escapes you today, except maybe the usual reasons to be timid. Surrender to your work, art or loved ones. You'll gladly do whatever is necessary. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily For everybody's sake, you're happy to be closely supervised. If someone else wants to guide the collaboration, you'll just do your part. Thanks to the Virgo Moon, you remain cautiously optimistic. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Efficiency and diligence win the popularity contest. Look back in pride at what you've done. Anticipate the dragons that you have yet to slay. With the Moon in Virgo's house, you're at the height of your powers. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Your heart reveals the truth long before you can find the words to speak it. Stay calm under pressure. Your emotions are in search of an outlet, and they'll jump at the first chance that you give them. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You hold the reins of power in a relaxed, confident grip. You can do someone a favor without breaking a sweat. Friends flatter you with their fierce loyalty. You can easily make your own wishes come true. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You want to share an intense experience that you can't quite describe. Coworkers have their own concerns, and limited patience for a story that never ends. The Virgo Moon imposes limits that you may find frustrating.

June 10 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Saturday June 10, 2000 All work and no play makes Gemini a dull person. Psychologists say that one sign of a healthy person is his or her ability to play. What have you done lately for the sheer, adolescent pleasure of enjoying yourself? Today is a good day for you to create a happy, entertaining experience for yourself. Go to a movie. Have a date. Eat an ice cream cone. Do anything that's fun. It'll do your heart good. (Have I not gotten into enough trouble this week?! Only a few know how much!)

June 10 Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Saturday June 10, 2000 Sagittarius, during this final week of your four-week energy cycle, you're being challenged to strike a balance between your own interests and the interests of those around you. For an individual such as yourself, this might be difficult. The idea is to coordinate (not to subordinate) your needs to those of others. If you're feeling discouraged now, get in touch with a friend you can count on to lift your drooping spirit. (Hang out on a computer dialed into Spring at poolside?!) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Saturday June 10, 2000 Libra, you're beginning a new four-week energy cycle today. You're "in the zone." The Force is with you and waiting for your command. What do you want? What is your intent and purpose for the month ahead? Right NOW, tell your Self, "I want . . . ." Be specific. In your mind's eye, see it happening. In your tummy, feel that it's a done deal. Smile! Your wish is the Force's command. (It would be nice to hear from you! And, Geo 18 misses you)

June 10 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Saturday June 10, 2000 Cancer, you're entering the second week of the energy cycle you began on June 4. Have you been planting seeds and seeing to it that your needs are being met? Today is a turning point! Ask yourself, "How good am I willing to feel about myself?" What's your answer? The results of what you've been doing during the past week are due to show up around June 17. (Think I have been replaced...!)

(Nevah!!! How on earth did you get that thought??? It's probably my painting, Hey! maybe I won that poetry competition!!!!!)

(*sigh* by another Cancerean... Let us know if you won!) June 10th ZODIACTION POINTS FOR TODAY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today, you're struggling to find a way to maintain your beliefs while not forcing t hem on others, to listen to other people's side without giving in to them completely.

Fall back on friends for understanding and sympathy. LEO (July 23-August 22): You are in a position of finding ways to convince others while allowing them freedom of choice with unbiased information.

Let these emotions go and enjoy the dispassionate study and dissection of the issues.

New challenges are sure to keep you moving. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily A small error sobers you up in the nick of time. Sit down and rethink your entire strategy. The next time you move, be sure that you're going in the right direction. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Your feelings have wings, and your ideas have legs. As they said in decades past, 'Don't knock it until you've tried it.' Theorize all you want, but experience is still the best teacher. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily When you do more than your share, others start getting ideas about how to take advantage of you. Right now it's especially important to maintain a healthy balance. A sharp mind cuts to the heart of the matter. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You're allowed an escape. Whether you're off on a romantic getaway or deep into a labor of love, you're able to have fun without distraction. Venus shimmers like a perfect jewel in all that you do. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Tone of voice is more important than word choice. Someone makes a tactful attempt to save you from yourself. Pick up your cues, move on to the next scene and be sure to give credit where credit is due. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily As any good cook knows, the secret is in the sauce. A small final touch comes out with the fanfare of a mighty coup de grace. Confidence results in unthinking excellence. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Dip your brush back into the paint before you spread it too thin. If you don't apply an even coat, you'll end up with something that makes you embarrassed instead of proud. Allow yourself to quit if it isn't working for you.

It's okay if you need to disappear. Just be sure to leave the keys with someone responsible.

You can still surprise people, even when acting in character. Group identity remains important. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily You strain against the bonds that keep you in your usual place. When you're unhappy, it's easy to recognize what you lack. Be patient. Fate may soon deal you a much better hand.

June 11, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Sunday June 11, 2000 Are you happy, Gemini? Abraham Lincoln said, "You're about as happy as you make up your mind to be." You're at that point in your monthly energy cycle where Life is asking you how happy you're willing to be. Today, it's time to make up your mind to let happiness happen in your life. No matter how old you are, there's a little kid in you who wants to enjoy life. Just say yes! (oh my! Just say YES?! Wolfie, did you see that?! ...*ahem*...Yes!) Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Sunday June 11, 2000 Scorpio, during this fourth and final week of your monthly cycle, your energy is at low ebb. If you're feeling confused and disoriented, you'll be tempted to emotionally withdraw into yourself. You're a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) by nature. You're very psychic. It's difficult for you to block out the vibrations of the people around you. During the next two days, drink lots of water. Retreat into your sanctuary. Get lots of rest. Forgive yourself if you're not as caring and compassionate as you like to be. (Bad day for JohnB...but he is ok.....) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sunday June 11, 2000 Libra, you began a new four-week energy cycle yesterday. The Force is ready and waiting to fulfill your Heart's Desire. NOW is the moment of power. Once again, tell your Self, "I want . . .." Ask your Self, "How good am I willing to have it be?" And remember, "It is our attitude at the beginning that more than anything else produces a successful outcome." (Earl Nightingale) (I heard from him finally - and just missed him on IM....*sigh*) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sunday June 11, 2000 Sagittarius, during this waning period in your energy cycle, it's good to have a supportive group or at least a friend to reassure you that you're not alone. No one can live in a vacuum. Engaging in friendly group efforts or projects now may be just what the doctor ordered to bring you in touch with others like yourself. Take a friend to lunch. Better yet, get a group of friends together after work, let your hair down and enjoy yourself. (We're here!!!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Sunday June 11, 2000 Cancer, no matter how mature and independent you become, you still have feelings and needs. Periodically, you feel the need to be with people who love and accept you for who you are, not for what they get from you. These nutritious people might actually be family members or may feel like family. Today is a good day to connect with a caring soul. Who in your life makes you feel good for being you? Get in touch with that person today and say, "Thanks for being in my life." ( Yes! Any time you need to hear it I will say it...*hugs*)

YES!!!

June 11, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Your grand design is tottering, but it hasn't fallen yet. Quick, objective thinking can still save the day. Use what you've learned. Recruit those who can help fill the gaps in your knowledge. (January 20 - February 18) Daily You'll meet any dare, challenge or bet. The Libra Moon cranks you up to your wild best -- not especially sane or logical, but totally credible to all within range of your spell. Just make sure that no one gets hurt. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily The news isn't quite what you thought it would be. As long as everyone else is changing his or her mind, you too can reexamine the options. People seeking closure should leave the door open just a little longer. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily The Libra Moon floods the next few days with its neutral, crowd-pleasing light. Let the nonessential decisions slide. You'll have enough work laboring over the important issues. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You're excited by something that might be a figment of your imagination. The first clue is someone laughing at your inappropriate response. Regain your dignified composure while there's still time. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You feel a delightful urgency. Your mind is active, and your senses are alive. It would be great to tackle some bold, new project, although you'd be just as happy spending your time on pure pleasure. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You may not be satisfied with the direction that events have taken. An inconsiderate person might jeopardize the civility in a group. Cheer yourself up by thinking how much worse of you could be. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You've waited a long time for this Libra Moon. Put in at least a few hours of quality time with family or friends. You can say whatever is on your mind, and it will probably be right. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Against your better judgment, you feel the lure of a seductive sales pitch. Check in with an uninvolved third party who is familiar with the product or service in question. Function is really more important than image. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Someone is wildly in love, but don't let that steam up your clear mind. One way or another, you'll get the respect that you deserve. Now that you have a captive audience, you can tell the story in your own way. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You spin in circles, unable to decide. You're not alone here -- the Libra Moon has a similar effect on most water and earth signs. Find other confused people and stick with them. There may be clarity in numbers. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Compromise isn't about you losing -- it's about everybody winning. You're ready to be fair with people that you already love, or will soon come to love. Get ready to lead the way to new territory.

a bold new project, eh???? *scratching chin*

Spending time on pure pleasure is more like me lately...Not you, Wolfie??!

Oh, and this little kid is never gonna get old....not if I have anything to say about it!

June 12, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Monday June 12, 2000 Gemini, you possess within yourself, at every moment, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of your life. You're at that place in your monthly energy cycle where a shift is needed in your attitude toward yourself. Life is trying to make you happy. Are you ready and willing to give up your limitations? Today, be willing to see yourself differently. Shift happens! "Don't find fault, find a remedy." (Henry Ford) (Does that mean sell the house and move to California like O'O wants me to do?!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday June 12, 2000 Sagittarius, during this fourth and final week of your monthly cycle, your energy is at low ebb. If you're feeling confused and disoriented, you'll be tempted to over-react to the slightest irritation. Your resistance to frustration is low now. It's difficult for you to block out the vibrations of the people around you. During the next 3 days, make it your business to mind your own business. Drink lots of water. Retreat into your sanctuary. Get some of rest. Forgive yourself if you're not as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as you like to be. (Be good to Terry Day for Terry) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Monday June 12, 2000 All work and no play makes Cancer a dull person. Psychologists say that one sign of a healthy person is his or her ability to play. What have you done lately for the sheer, childlike pleasure of enjoying yourself? Today is a good day for you to create a happy, entertaining experience for yourself. Go to a movie. Have a date. Eat an ice cream cone. Do anything that's fun for you. It'll do your heart good. (*big sigh*) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Monday June 12, 2000 Libra, what do you value? What makes your life worth living? Libra is the Sign of relationships. Today is a good day to be grateful for everyone in your life who truly treats you like an equal. Take time out today to call or e-mail someone with whom you have a close and intimate relationship. Sharing is caring. Click your mouse on myfriend.com (Yeah Lance! talk to me!)

June 12, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Negotiations go very well today for you as long as you develope tunnel vision and keep right on the target you are aiming for. Don't let yourself or your attention to details get sidetracked. A love interest returns your affection and this makes your day perfect. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Today you are offered an unusual opportunity to further your career interests and since this is what you have been waiting for, you grab it. Your day should be unusually productive and your progress sure and steady. An all around good day for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) In business affairs today you should apply a good measure of your intuition to keep you head and shoulders above the com- petition. You will meet with a sly type today and this is where you will need the intuition the most; watch out for number one. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Take care that you do not walk on someones toes at work today as this is not a good day for confrontations of this sort; you would only be perceived as being argumentive if you do. Marital squabbles may have you upset and out of sorts, but be sure you don't take them to work with you. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may have the power to 'sway mens minds' today so use it wisely and not do everything to your own good. You go all out today to help a friend and this takes a lot of guts for helping is not going to be easy, but you will try, and win. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is an important day for you as you must remember to take your estimated taxes to the IRS office, forgetting today could cost more than you want to pay when you file your taxes. A good day at work where everyone gets along with everyone else, for a change. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) A minor flare up at work may make you want to throw up your hands and walk out, but don't do it. You may want to find a better job but quitting is not the solution. It is easier to find a job when you have a job. Why? I don't know, but it has always held true. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You may be shopping around for a computer or some other piece of electronics but you must keep alert for those who would take advantage of you. If you are not as expert now as you will be, take a friend with you who is savvy about computers and prices, your Virgo friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Good news! You finally discover that unusual item that you have searched and searched for and it is affordable! Grab it before it gets away, there won't be another. You do some great work in the creative dept. today as your thinking is logical and highly original. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You may be asked to participate in community affairs today and you agree quickly as this is just the kind of thing that you excel in. This will give you a chance to interact in closer contact with good friends as well as make new ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) A good friend entrusts you with a confidence and even though you are tempted to tell another friend you do not, this is a wise decision as it will quickly get back to the person if you do tell, and you will lose a friend you have had for years. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) You have some shrewd insights to the things that go on around you today and this will keep you out in front of the field. Plan some evening get together with friends so you can forget all and just unwind. Your nerves will thank you.

June 12, 2ooo Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Surrender to the stronger forces, and see how you can make your life comfortable within their terms. Anyone willing to participate is still a winner. This week is sure to bring a few more surprises. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Brilliant developments in your personal life put a positive spin on your job performance. This is one adventure in which you can truly make a difference. Enjoy it, even if you can't quite believe that it's happening. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily It's hard to start this week when you can't get over what happened last week. Think positive thoughts, even if you're unable to act on them. Read everything twice before adding your signature. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily When presented with a contract, be sure that you understand everything in it. The 'right moment' only comes if you make it happen. Charm is your best weapon. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily Applaud the lucky person on whom fortune has smiled. You're the one who tallies the gifts and records the givers, while someone else opens the packages. One of these days, the stars will spark your own ambitions. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily Change and success crash into your day from an unlikely direction. Every solution, no matter how abstract or technical, hinges on the human element. Many people share your enthusiasm. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily This is the wrong day to follow orders without question. You may be starting out with an improper model. Use the right tools for this job, before you waste too many resources. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily Take care of yourself. Colleagues and rivals alike will respect you for your resilience and self-sufficiency. The good manners and utter charm of courtship can be applied to any kind of social interaction. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily You're hungry for the unusual, but here you are with a full menu of the same old thing. Consider designing what you can't buy. It was Ben Franklin (and later Frank Zappa) who said, 'Necessity is the mother of invention.' Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're the peacemaker, the chief negotiator and the general center of attention. Your captivating style draws people deeper than they might normally go. If your message has the same lasting effect, you're in great shape. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily Curiosity is cherished among the open-minded. At a certain point, you'll have to stop asking new questions and start making sense of the answers that you've already collected. This may be just the first of many stages. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Your compassion is legendary. Monday arrives with a whole new cast of attractive prospects begging for your attention. Balance your desire to explore with an understanding of how the game is played.

June 13, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Tuesday June 13, 2000 Today is the last day before the halfway point of your energy cycle. The wave of energy released two weeks ago will reach its maximum strength tomorrow. Today is the time to make last minute changes in your plans, to get your house in order, and to prepare for opportunities or breakthroughs. At this point, it is your attitude, more than anything else, that will determine what will happen tomorrow. (Watch out world...I added a retired USGS Geologist to my list and am delighted) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Tuesday June 13, 2000 Are you happy, Cancer? Abraham Lincoln said, "You're about as happy as you make up your mind to be." You're at that point in your monthly energy cycle where Life is asking you how happy you're willing to be. Today, it's time to make up your mind to let happiness happen in your life. No matter how old you are, there's a little kid in you who wants to enjoy life. Just say yes! (that is what they told me 2 days ago...and what results I had!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tuesday June 13, 2000 Sagittarius, if you're spinning your wheels and can't get your focus, or if you're feeling like you're in limbo, don't panic. There's nothing wrong. Tomorrow is the last day of your current four-week energy cycle. It's normal for you to feel like withdrawing. This is a good time to sit back and evaluate how well you're handling the art of living. Are you OK with the way you've spent these last four weeks of your life? Do you have the sense that you're living your life or that life is living you? In two days, you'll be starting a new energy cycle. It's time to warm up your dream machine. If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true? (hang in there Terry!)

what's wrong with the house? now i'm worried (gemini) *grin*

(think it is mine they were talking about...*Ptttthhhhhht*) June 13, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily As the British say, 'In for a penny, in for a pound.' Now that you've started, you might as well keep on going until you're finished. Promise yourself a reward, although reaching your goal may just be reward enough. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily Your lucky streak may be coming to an end by nightfall. Pack in a few last miracles while they're still so easy and plentiful. Be sure to stand clear of your coach when it's ready to turn back into a pumpkin. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Choose your conversations with care. An early show of wisdom sets you on the ideal track. Those who now call you a loner fail to recognize that you'll soon be considered a pioneer. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily Friends are amazed and possibly confused by a sudden show of self-interest. A growing cosmic itch is making you restless. As long as you keep it moving, you can turn this situation around. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily You pick up speed as the road improves. Take a picture of your life as it starts to change. Later on, you'll be able to gauge your progress with memories of the day that it all began. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily The universe grants you something that you richly deserve. Your more intense qualities emerge. It's a good day, as long as you're free to have your feelings. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily Your critics strike out at you from a weak position. You've been there yourself, but you got over it. Be confident in your methods and abilities. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily You make the situation work to your advantage without appearing to lift a finger. Be satisfied with your conveniences -- you know that it won't always be this way. Back up your data while the system is still working. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Your creative team could use some new blood. A breath of fresh air adds life to an anemic effort. You regain control of your process. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily You're tired of just looking at a pretty sight. You want to enter the landscape and join the action. If others are happy to stand around and watch without getting involved, that's their business. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily At last you meet a riddle that you can solve. It's easy to become something that you already are. Take your physical pleasures where you can find them. The next few days alone will be worth the price of admission. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Now it's time to field test the idea that looked so good on paper. Although you're looking for a specific result, be open to other possible applications. The community stands to benefit from your findings.

*sigh*

June 14 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Wednesday June 14, 2000 Gemini, while your energy is at high tide, you'll be more sensitive than usual to the people with whom you have close, personal relationships. Today, you're wanting and needing more love and support. Be aware that you might overreact to the slightest provocation or sign of neglect. If you want people to be sensitive to your feelings today, then be sensitive to theirs and they'll return the favor. ( my morning has been very busy, very affectionate from afar and fascinating ) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Wednesday June 14, 2000 Today is the last day in the four-week energy cycle you began back on May 18. Your tank is almost empty. You're running on fumes. Be nice to yourself today. Don't push yourself. Avoid people and situations that drain your energy. If possible, leave work early today. Spend the rest of the day doing what nurtures and relaxes you. Fear not! You start a new energy cycle tomorrow. Once again, the Force will be with you. ( hang in there, Terry!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Wednesday June 14, 2000 Cancer, you possess within yourself, at every moment, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of your life. You're at that place in your monthly energy cycle where a shift is needed in your attitude toward yourself. Life is trying to make you happy. Are you ready and willing to give up your limitations? Today, be willing to see yourself differently. Give yourself a hug! "Don't find fault, find a remedy." (Henry Ford) (*sigh* indeed......)

(I hear you!!! *sigh*)

alright, the Force!

You da man!!!

June 14, 2000 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Daily Even if you feel aloof, you're unusually social. Remember that you're among friends who need to be loved, not judged. Your senses are attuned to the movements of someone who is searching for you. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Daily The Scorpio Moon leans heavily on the brakes. You're just not ready to accept an Astrological slowdown. If you can't find anyone to help you, it's probably time to start working alone. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Daily Your rare essence rises to the surface. People are distracted and attracted by a cosmic perfume that tickles their sixth sense. You're the master of a powerful enchantment. Seduce, conquer or escape at will. Aries (March 21 - April 19) Daily The best way to advance is to get more deeply involved. Many interesting things have happened since you last paid full attention. Take inspiration from a competitor who is getting ahead of you. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Daily The best way to advance is to get more deeply involved. Many interesting things have happened since you last paid full attention. Take inspiration from a competitor who is getting ahead of you. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Daily You do much better when you adopt a disciplined approach. Put those unrealistic expectations in a box and set them aside for a while. In a few days, the climate might be more hospitable for your dreams. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Daily You're too sharp to miss anything. Internal and external cues point you toward a new power source. Under the Scorpio Moon, you can be both playful and meaningful at the same time. Leo (July 23 - August 22) Daily It's time to do the right thing, no matter how awkward or difficult. Loyalty transcends self-gratification. You always knew that you'd have to pay, but you'll look even better if you leave a generous tip. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Daily Groups of qualified individuals gravitate toward a common cause. In this quest for knowledge, nothing is off limits. The race changes its character when you cross the finish line and keep on going. Libra (September 23 - October 23) Daily Avoid taking any major steps without a mentor or advisor. A broad gesture will have far-reaching results that may not be obvious right now. You can still have a good time without giving away your secrets. Scorpio (October 24 - November 21) Daily You're good and ready to revise, renew, repaint or refurbish. The Scorpio Moon ushers in a new set of rules by which you'd cheerfully guide your life. Just hope that everyone around you is ready for the shakeup. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Daily Your job is to turn the indifferent into something interesting. It's hard to articulate a truth that's too big for words. At the very least you could win the heart of whoever is paying attention to your timid voice.

June 14 - a little late... ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Don't bite off more than you can handle today, instead of being the ram, this would be a good time to let the little lamb come out of hiding. Trust me, you won't win this one no matter what. So be cool and the next round is yours. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Tread carefully today as you steer for a more conservative path to your goal. You should be sure to practice diplomacy in all your dealings today, even at home where it may count the most. Take the family to visit relatives tonight, you may learn some- thing new. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You and an estranged loved one that you have been sorely missing may have occasion to meet today, and as one thing leads to another, find yourself making up for one more try. Take this person out for a celebration and cement the bonds of love. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You will meet with a lot of demands on your time and/or resources today as everyone you meet seems to need help or need something else. After most of the day like this, you finally escape to your favorite fishing spot and stay out of touch for as long as possible. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You and electronics don't seem to get along very well today, as everyone you try to use seems to go on the fritz. It would be best to try some other type of project for today and save the technical stuff for another time. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This would be a good day to attend to the house repairs or home improvements that have been needing done for a long time. If you have the time, this is an excellent day to buy building materials and hire contractors, if you are not a do-it-your- self'er. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Keep your head down and your ear to the ground today as that will be the safest bet on the job. Don't enter into any office or plant controversies and you won't get into trouble like some of the others will. A friend brings you good news in the evening. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Today is a perfect day for mixing business with pleasure for more reasons than you can imagine. Today's meeting could bring a romance into your life that will last forever,so put your best foot forward. A good day in all ways for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Your romantic feelings for a certain someone will only get deeper as time goes on, yes it is time to ask the question and find out exactly where you stand, I'm betting the answer will be yes, especially if the person is a Leo. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You and your family will see prosperous times begin for all of you today as your luck turns for the better. A friend may keep you waiting but while you are waiting you chance to meet someone who will be able to bring this miraculous change in fortune for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) When dealing with authority figures now you should practice all the tact you have ever learned, your position and standing depend upon it. Your wedding plans are moving right along now as the invitations are all ready to be mailed. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) A social event may bring career helpful influences into your life today along with positive financial developments. If you maintain your own home based business, you may find just the sort of help that you have been needing.

Alas, I cannot...

June 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Through the actions of someone you know who is highly unpredict- able you will find yourself in a mixup regarding social plans and engagements. This could work to your advantage as you may miss meeting someone that you would really rather not see. Finish a creative project today. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) You may find that the new person in the office got confused and changed your appointments all around today. Don't worry, it won't happen again if you use tack and understanding in instructing this person. Don't take your frustration home to a loved one, he/she won't like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You will run into people today who may have ideas that are radically different from yours, but they still deserve to be heard; use tact and tolerance in all your dealings at work and at home. Encouragement comes from unusual places. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your productivity is high and you have a good day at work, scoring quite a few kudos from your team mates. Evening may bring a few family disagreements but you should try very hard not to be to critical of a small child as all he really wants to do is please you. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Save yourself some major problems today by watching your devil may care attitude. Doing your own thing is very attractive to you but don't hurt, or ignore others, in the process; this could lead to difficulties, especially marital. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) You have an unfinished task hanging in there that you really need to address before you can expect to see any increase in income from this project, this is a good day to devote to completing it; work on it, don't worry about working on it. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) A difficulty about money may bother you today after a friend dodges his/her obligation to repay you. You don't like to have to ask, but in this case you may have to. A loyal friend comes to your rescue in the romance department to- night when someone starts an untrue rumor about you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) With your creativity level at its peak, morning hours are fraught with possibilities of promotion on the job Things tend to slow down in the afternoon but you are still perk- ing right along while the others are lagging behind. Pro- mote your interests today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Rumors and hearsay may plague your footsteps today but pay absolutely no interest in them as the chances are very good that every one of them are false. Don't let anything you hear today, through the grapevine, color the way you feel about a certain person. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) A friend may seem superficial on the surface but this person comes through for you today when the chips are down. You may also meet with some unexpected expenses that threaten to overwhelm you, but you manage to stay afloat. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) When that old love comes knocking it will be best if you don't let him/her in. Of course, if you want to be used, again, you can make up with this person, but it will only mean more heart- break for you. Invite friends over tonight as a buffer against temptation. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) This is a bad time to loan money on a personal basis, but if you have already, you will have trouble collecting what is owed to you. Your work will be disrupted today due to intrusions by family members, this is not good for your employment future, unless you are already self employed.

(um....)

June 15, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Thursday June 15, 2000 Today you're entering the third week of the energy cycle you began back on Friday, June 2. You're now at the halfway point. It's time to see the consequences of what you've been up to for the past two weeks. Check your calendar to see where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing back around June 2. During the next few days, it would be good to follow up on, or put to rest, what you were doing back then. ( don't need to do that - I know *grin*) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Thursday June 15, 2000 Sagittarius, you're beginning a new four-week energy cycle today. You're "in the zone." The Force is with you and waiting for your command. What do you want? What is your intent and purpose for the month ahead? Right NOW, tell your Self, "I want ____." Be specific. In your mind's eye, see it happening. In your tummy, feel that it's a done deal. Smile! Your wish is the Force's command. (What's the deal with The Force?!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Thursday June 15, 2000 Cancer, you're a very warm, caring, nurturing person. It makes you feel good to make others feel good. You need to be needed. You're at the point in your monthly energy cycle where you need to be taking care of yourself for a change. Take a good hard look at your eating habits. Today, be willing to eliminate from your diet at least one thing that's definitely not good for you. You know what it is. Do the loving thing. Give it up! (I could write volumes......)

what? no more girls' night out? (and i didn't see eye to eye with the AM today and didn't handle it tactfully for the most part. but he came around and saw things my way and everything was ok after that)

I really need something. I just found out how painful it is to be told "I love you...as a friend but it is not going any further." I NEED a night out with the girls since every man I know has either disappeared or is using me. It hurts!

*HUGS*

Thanks, Dearest Wolfie! June 16, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A romantic impulse has you busy making weekend plans, just be sure they are agreeable or you will find some last minute changes being made. A good day at work as you get your main project finished in record time and knock off early. Dinner for two in a quiet restaurant is favored. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Don't be too quick to hop on someone else's bandwagon today as it may lose a wheel no matter how good it looks. Go with your own ideas and plans, those you can control to the extent of cutting your losses if you make a mistake. Your spouse cheers you on. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) This would be a good day to put the car in for a tune up and overall inspection while you are at work; be sure the brakes are checked. A chance at a new position may come your way but you are hesitant about accepting it, try talking it over with your spouse as you both must live with your decision. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You have a chance for financial gains today if you stand pat on your holdings until the price goes up. You are gifted with social graces and they are a big asset to you in the evening. Plan a short trip with the family this weekend and enjoy some fun times. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You are better able to focus today than you were yesterday, your powers of concentration are stronger so you see some of the important things you missed, and make short work of them. Romance will play a big part in your weekend plans; you may even become engaged if you are not already married. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Compromise may be the only way to travel today if you would restore peace and harmony in your surroundings. Hard work is the order of the day but after sundown you take off for some of the fun spots in town, don't forget the spouse, if you have one. (Remember the designated driver rule.). LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Being self reliant has always been your dream and today is a good time to start doing it. A few grown up decisions await you, (no matter what age you are), and with a little mature thinking you make them wisely. A new love that will appreciate your talents is on the horizon. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) A little extra charm, and a little extra enthusiasm will cause many doors to open for you today in your work a day world. Aggression is out at this time as the people you will deal with does not appreciate aggression in any of it's forms; boldness yes, aggression no. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) You are the type who make a fine student, or a great teacher, as your love of learning and imparting that knowledge to others is inherent in your sign, and today you finally reach your goal as your application to teach has been accepted and you walk the clouds in joy. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Today as you ponder your future the vision of what you want to accomplish has never been clearer and you begin to make plans and adjustments to reach your goals. A weekend trip to some out of the way, quiet, place is a good thought for you as you should take even more time to plan your future while it is still shining in your mind. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Today would be a good day to get your budget for the coming quarter approved as people are in a more congenial mood than usual. An afternoon spent catching up on your business correspondence will free you for the evening so you will have the necessary time to plan your weekend without a lot of worry. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Try not to be too possessive with a loved one today as that could only lead to marital disputes and unrest, it has even been known to lead to the divorce court. Be resourceful today when planning your home improvements for the weekend. Don't overspend and bust the budget.

Wow, I can look forward to a grease and oil change?! Not the way I figured my life, but the Forester IS due....*sigh*

I'm winding up an 18 hour day, I did a lot of digging to figure out how to set up these Sun Servers but finally got it done. Two Enterprise 450s and three Enterprise 250s are talking to the world!

June 16, 2000 Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Friday June 16, 2000 Sagittarius, you began a new four-week energy cycle yesterday. The Force is ready and waiting to fulfill your Heart's Desire. NOW is the moment of power. Once again, tell your Self, "I want ______." Ask your Self, "How good am I willing to have it be?" And remember, "It is our attitude at the beginning that more than anything else produces a successful outcome." (Earl Nightingale) There's a Full Moon today in the Sign of Sagittarius. Steer clear of the loonies! (I would Imagine, Very Good, Indeed!) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Friday June 16, 2000 As Benjamin Franklin said, " Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of." Tomorrow is a turning point in the new energy cycle you began on June 10. Today is the time for you to take some form of action to make your wish a reality. Make up your mind! Decide to decide! Your intention is what counts. (There's a Full Moon today. Steer clear of the loonies!) (Think I am out of his life despite of this avowals...but, never say never) Gemini (May 22-June 21) Friday June 16, 2000 "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune." (Shakespeare) Today, during the Full Moon, is a good time to seek the support or resources you need for whatever you've been working on during the past two weeks. If your intention to make something happen was strong, you'll be seeing some results now. During the next two weeks, follow through on what you started. Join forces with the people who share your interest and enthusiasm for doing something new. ( I as sure trying.....) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Friday June 16, 2000 Today is the last day before the halfway point of your energy cycle. The wave of energy released two weeks ago will reach its maximum strength tomorrow. Today is the time to make last minute changes in your plans, to get your house in order, and to prepare for opportunities or breakthroughs. At this point, it is your attitude -- more than anything else -- that will determine what will happen tomorrow. "The higher you go, the better the attitude." (Earl Nightingale) There's a Full Moon today. Steer clear of the loonies! (hugs of support)

No loonie toonies, ok.

From the earlier one: (me)Cancer: Plan a short trip with the family this weekend and enjoy some fun times. (him) Leo: Romance will play a big part in your weekend plans The hotel room is booked for Sunday night!!!!! Oh for some peace and quiet and privacy. (what loonies, where, tell me and I'll steer clear of them!)

gemini: what plans have i been working on the past two weeks? oh, wait, i'm leaving the country today. but that thing about the brake check has me a bit scared. (think it was their gratuitous safety plug though) maggie: you go and have some fun! *woohoo*

Maggie and Tony........Yessssssssss! Enjoy! I guess this Gemini gets to do tha brake job because there is nothing planned here...*sigh*

June 17, 2000 Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Saturday June 17, 2000 Sagittarius, what do you value? What is it that makes your life worth living? One thing that is extremely important for Sagittarians is for their lives to have a sense of meaning and purpose. Today, be grateful for all the people in your life who inspire you to look upward and to go higher. Promise yourself that you'll never stop being a seeker. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Saturday June 17, 2000 Today you're entering the third week of the energy cycle you began back on Sunday, June 4. You're now at the halfway point. It's time to see the consequences of what you've been up to for the past two weeks. Check your calendar to see where you were, whom you were with, and what you were doing back around June 4. During the next few days, it would be good to follow up on, or put to rest, what you were doing back then. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Saturday June 17, 2000 Gemini, your current energy cycle peaked two days ago. The wave of energy you experienced then has not yet subsided. Today your emotions are more intense than usual. You can tell by the way people are reacting to you. You may be drawn to certain types of people you normally don't approach. You're experiencing feelings and moods that are very different. What was going on with you two days ago? Are you feeling now what was too deep or strong for you to feel back then? If you're feeling strange or confused, talk to a close friend or anybody you can totally trust. Get it off your chest! (oh my, tell me about it. It has been amazing!!!)

(my memory doesn't go back that far!!!!*grin*)

uh oh! i've got no idea what i was thinking about two days ago!

(*grin* as do I and what I was thinking....think we discussed that...) June 17, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Saturday is your day and time to howl! Consider having a get together with a few good friends. Weather permitting, a back- yard Bar-B-Que sounds like fun. Be especially careful that in your exuberance you do not say something that accidentally wounds another. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) You do not have to take care of the world. Your friends and acquaintances ask more of you than you want to do. Saying no is the best way of separating true friends from your hangers on. Later today your energies run high so go out and enjoy yourself but make it an early night. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) All things come to those who wait and you will find most of your answers by listening quietly. Quit worrying and take this Saturday to get out the old folding lounge and sack out in the back yard with a magazine, a glass of tea, birds song, and you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You may have to put off your weekend plans because friends and family place heavy demands on your time and resources today. An adult son/daughter may have problems that only you can solve, so be prepared. Late afternoon brings peace and quiet by clearing your mind with a good book . LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A telephone call, or letter from a good friend you haven't heard from in a long time could cheer you immensely. Guard against doing anything hasty or rash today as this is not a good day to make a firm life decision. Take time to get close to your spouse or shore up a flagging relationship. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Someone who has been false to you in the past is interested in getting back together again. Be careful. Caution is your keynote for today but with your sense of discernment you should uncover the truth and come through with flying colors. All that glitters is not gold and that goes for relationships, especially today. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Your nerves and mental processes need that rest you have been promising yourself. Go boating, driving, or even hula hooping if you must, but get away from it all. Rainy day? Go rent a motel room and spend the day read- ing or relaxing with your spouse. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) The Scorpion may feel like giving a nasty sting today to the people who disagree with you. But put the brakes on and look deep inside for the cause of your unrest. You are capable of finding, facing, and defeating any short- comings on your part that is upsetting you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Today you should renew your energies by doing some fun activity in or around water. Fishing, boating, but not swimming yet as it may not have warmed up enough in your part of the country. Children are particularly sensitive today so you may see yourself reflected in their eyes. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) After a hectic week you should take time to recharge your batteries. Go fishing, do a little yard puttering or take a leisurely ride in the country. Whatever you do make plans to get out and enjoy the healing warmth of Gods wonderful sunshine and fresh air. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Don't be fooled by someone you have met recently or by a friend who has played you false in the past. take this Saturday to reevaluate your priorities. You are going to need that stubborn streak you have in order to hold off those who would take advantage of your generosity. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Today is just right for applying your energy and drive into getting ahead on your job or any endeavor where you can apply the skills you have accumulated over the years. You could persuade that special person that you are ready to try again. Love is in full bloom.

"not swimming". Not not swimming. It's warm enough, believe me.

Go Swimming... You earned the right and it is warm enough!!!

Fingers crossed BIG TIME and *hugs* Wolfie - that's gotta be miserable!

Have a good trip!

June 18, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Sunday June 18, 2000 Gemini, don't be surprised if you have some strong feelings today about sex, money or joint possessions. You're in a space where you're sensitive about getting or protecting what you feel is rightfully yours. These may be old feelings you haven't yet resolved or feelings about events that occurred only recently. In any case, they're your feelings. If you're feeling envy, resentment or jealousy, write the offending party a letter. Say exactly what you feel and think, then burn it and flush the ashes down the sink. (oh man - yes....I know!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Sunday June 18, 2000 Cancer, you're at that place in your monthly cycle where your energy is at high tide. You'll be more sensitive than usual to the people with whom you have close, personal relationships. Today, you're wanting and needing more love and support. Be aware that you might overreact to the slightest provocation or sign of neglect. If you want people to be sensitive to your feelings today, then be sensitive to theirs and they'll return the favor. (Hugging you warmly and tenderly - You're gonna need it!) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Sunday June 18, 2000 Libra, no matter how mature and independent you become, you still have feelings and needs. Periodically, you feel the need to be with people who love and accept you for who you are, not for what they get from you. These nutritious people might actually be family members or may feel like family. Today is a good day to connect with a caring soul. Who in your life makes you feel good for being you? If you feel like it, get in touch with that person today and say, "Thanks for being in my life." (Yo Lance! talk to me!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sunday June 18, 2000 Each Sign of the Zodiac receives both a gift and a challenge from the Sign that follows it. Sagittarius is followed by Capricorn (12/22-1/20). The Capricorns in your life teach you the value of being self-reliant and self-sufficient. They challenge you to be practical and put your knowledge to good use. Be grateful for the Capricorns in your life. They care for you. They just don't know how to show it! (Guess I am no help to you today.......I'll go post and ruffle some feathers!)

June 19, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is a great time for dealing with influential people and the signing of contracts, your terms are easier to get today than any other time this week. You and a loved one are having problems right now but with love and understanding you will be able to work the situation out before it becomes a threat to your happiness. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) A meeting with an investment counselor could save, or make, you a lot of money today if you pay close attention to what he is telling you. Your business is beginning to pick up now that the weather is clearing, and it is a good time to hire some reliable help. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Don't be caught short in a coming emergency. Start your savings plan now and stick to it so you will not have your life style bent out of shape in the near future. This is not a good time to stick money in risky invest- ments, or in a business that may not be what it is cracked up to be. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Where your job interests are concerned you must beard the lion in his lair and aggressively, (but nicely), ask for that raise you know that you deserve. A family crisis may have you upset now, but these kind of things blow over and you will be much stronger because of it. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Collaboration efforts finally bear fruit and you should see your brain child published in the near future, contracts may be offered today. Others will find that working con- ditions are greatly improved with the addition of some innovative thinking by the powers that be. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) A project that you have been working on nears completion but you find an unexpected problem that will give you some hard work solving but you manage to work through it. A weekend of fun may have you more tired than you care to admit, so make it an early day, if you can, and take a rest. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Try not to be too harsh when speaking with a coworker today as it could lead to hard feelings and ruin your enjoyment of your position. A problem with a teen may have your nerves on edge, but paste a smile on and keep going, things will straighten themselves out if the teen is allowed to confront her own problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Your creativity juices are flowing today and you come up with some really good money making ideas that you know will work. A new hobby suddenly turns into a new, success- ful, business. A family get together left hard feelings, but you soon set things right. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Nerves are your middle name and your main affliction. You have to learn to let go and let people work their own problems out, you can't be held responsible for everyone: try to take a complete day just doing what you enjoy and refusing to worry; surprise yourself at the results. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Love, love, love, Spring has gotten all your fancies in tow and you are abloom like the flowers of Spring. Be careful that this is the real thing, and if you think it is, then start writing up the invitations as you will be asked that all important question of the heart, and we know what you will answer. YES. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) You will see a big increase in your popularity today as you have to turn down a lot of invitations to social affairs. Try to attend as many as you can, though, as this is very good for your public image, and will be to your advantage at a future time when you may seek some type of election. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Today you will be given a major opportunity to get ahead, either in the position you already hold, or one with another company altogether. Your family supports your decision, and will stick by you during the transition period when you may have to do a lot of traveling.

June 19, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Monday June 19, 2000 Gemini, if anything significant occurred 4-5 days ago when your energy was at its peak level, today's a good time to figure out what to make of it. First of all, what happened or didn't happen? In either case, are you happy or unhappy about it? Why? What should you have done, or done differently, 4-5 days ago? If nothing significant happens during this 4 week energy cycle, don't worry. There will always be another, and another . . . . (I havested a nest of vipers all demanding me and the resident one is none to happy. Would I have changed anything? Oh No! What a ride it has been!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Monday June 19, 2000 Your current energy cycle peaked two days ago. The wave of energy you experienced then has still not subsided. Today your emotions are more intense than usual. You can tell by the way people are reacting to you. You may be drawn to certain types of people you normally don't approach. You're experiencing feelings and moods very different from your normal self. What was going on with you two days ago? Are you just now feeling what was too deep or strong for you to feel back then? If you're feeling strange or confused, talk to a close friend or anybody you can totally trust. Get it off your chest! (I am here for you.....but you know that!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday June 19, 2000 Sagittarius, your communications with others are likely to be more emotional today than usual. You're not satisfied with superficial conversations. If you can keep your feelings under control, this can be a time for you to have some really meaningful communications. This is a good day to seek out your more intelligent friends and people who inspire you. If you're bored, pick up the phone and call a long-lost relative. (You must have a list of both a mile long...)

June 19, 2000 Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Monday June 19, 2000 All work and no play make Libra a dull person. Psychologists say that one sign of a healthy person is his or her ability to play. What have you done lately for the sheer, childlike pleasure of enjoying yourself? Today is a good day for you to create a happy, entertaining experience for yourself. Go to a movie. Have a date. Eat an ice cream cone. Do anything that's fun for you. It'll do your heart good. (Alas, I heard from Lance who is on 24 hour a day tending his ailing mother, and I think the memories of ice cream and Marcia will have to suffice for the time being.)

June 20, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Do not be so quick to jump at other peoples ideas, as there is a distinct possibility of losses which you can keep to a minimum with a little forethought. Slow down and smell the coffee, too much work can make you either a nervous wreck, or give you a bad case of eye strain. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) A coworker is trying to help further your career at this time and, although you know who it is you are stunned that this person even knows you are alive. Don't read too much into this help though, as he/she may not have any romantic inclinations toward you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your Guardian Angel steps in to help you get your problems solved. This could be a lucky week for you but don't take any undue risks with your income such as gambling, the losses could become mind boggling. Marital difficulties clear themselves up by evening. CANCER (June 22-July 22) With your keen sense of perception it is possible for you to catch potential hazards and correct , or have them corrected. before disaster can strike at work, so be on your toes. Your charisma brings many new people into your life, since your animal magnetism is at a high point. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is a good day to let someone get close to you and share your burdens in love and spirituality. Meditation on your higher values are in order. Children need more of your attention than usual; it is vital that you give it to them, for you are their role model. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is a good day to meditate on your spiritual values. Children need your example and good advice, so make it as good as only you can. Be more supportive of a mate, or lover, in thought and speech. It could work wonders, and cement the bonds you share. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Do not go out on a limb today in the workplace. Be sure of your facts before you speak up, as winding up with egg on your face will not serve to bolster your prestige. Your spouse may not be as helpful and supportive as she/he has in the past. You have the ability to find out why and clear it up. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Your wandering eye is casting about for a better job. Great, if you can find it. The one you have has good possibilities and advancement is closer then you think, so hang in there a while longer, if you can. Family matters take on a more serious note today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Unmarried Sagittarians can find a new love that may become a life companion, in fact you may want to pop the question five minutes after you meet! Married ones will find new excitement and adventure with their mate. Children will be a joy today, so enjoy it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You have been having some problems that can be cleared up by a lot of faith and spiritual meditation. Lawsuits, contracts, and so forth will be thoroughly explained to you and with your penchant for outthinking the opposition you can come out on top of the situation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) You are always kind and helpful to those who can't help themselves, but be aware of those who won't help them- selves and would rather you did it all. Dreams are so clear lately that you spend time to today analyzing one that has been bothering you. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) You have a fantastic sixth sense and it will be in full force today so your powers of discernment may make you feel a little angry with a friend, just remember we are all human and you do have the gift of understanding that should make things right again.

June 20, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Tuesday June 20, 2000 Gemini, don't be surprised today if you have the urge to get away from your normal routine and go someplace far away. You're in that part of your energy cycle now where you feel a mood or a restlessness you can't quite pin down. If nothing of any importance happened 4-5 days ago when your energy level was at a peak, you've probably still got energy to burn. You might just be bored. If it's possible to do something radically different today, great. If not, get out and stretch your legs, or take a long drive. (trying to make plane reservations.......) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tuesday June 20, 2000 You began a new energy cycle on Thursday, June 15 At first, you may have felt little more than a vague urge or desire for something new in your life. It's time now to give this new energy more meaning and direction. Was anything particular going on in your life on June 15? What were you doing/feeling/thinking then? Don't let your new burst of energy dissipate and amount to nothing. Today, tell yourself what you want to happen during the next several weeks. (busy man!!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Tuesday June 20, 2000 Cancer, don't be surprised if you have some strong feelings today about sex, money, or joint possessions. You're in a space where you're sensitive about getting or protecting what you feel is rightfully yours. These may be old feelings you haven't yet resolved or feelings about events that occurred only recently. In any case, they're your feelings. If you're feeling envy, resentment, or jealousy, write the offending party a letter. Say exactly what you feel and think, then burn it and flush the ashes down the sink. (sigh)

June 21, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Someone from afar is drawn to you romantically, either through an introduction or the web. Be careful if it is the web and don't take chances until you get to know this person in the flesh. Work will pretty much blas� today and you will get a chance to get caught up. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Take the middle road of conservatism in business today in order to better protect your assets; take a more conciliatory tome with higher ups if you are in a job situation so you won't injure your chances of getting ahead. Romantic commitments are possible today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Reconciliation's are possible today if you play your cards right. Try to watch any undue spending after nightfall, as being loose with the money may hurt the 'second time around' that you are trying for. The only council you should keep today is with yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today you will hear some good news concerning an investment or a loan that you have been trying to get. A long delay at work throws you behind schedule but cheer up, tomorrow will be better. Children need some strong leadership at the moment and you provide it. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Today it is possible to reach agreements on any number of fronts as your charm and charisma is working overtime. Career moves will meet with success at this time and that promotion is in the bag for you. However, your travel plans may have to be changed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Those loose ends have been tied up and you are enjoying a few days off to spend with visiting relatives, plan on having some fun and forgetting about business for awhile. Getting the boat out and spending some time on the lake or river, fishing, seems like a dandy idea. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Try not to shop for electronic equipment today as this is not a good day for you to find the better deals, best to shelve this idea until later. Domestic disputes may have you turning in circles and this would be a good time to have a heart to heart talk with the one you are on the outs with, a happy resolution could be had. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) A work problem that you find increasingly hard to solve finally works itself out by the end of the day and you wonder why you did not see the answer sooner. Take time with the spouse and family later today, as a good evening of togetherness is just what the doctor ordered. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Listen to a friend today as he or she talks about an idea that will sound so worthwhile that you can hardly wait to get started. Go for it, this seems like a sound investment that, with work on your part, could turn you a pretty dollar. Set the plans in motion tonight. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Spring cleaning time is rearing it's head and you are feeling just energetic enough to pitch in and get it started, don't be shy, press everyone into the work and see how fast it goes. Evening leaves you tired but happy, so take a break at your favorite restaurant. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Morning sees things rolling along for you like clockwork with no hitches, but later in the day you find obstacles everywhere you turn, don't let them get you down as they are only temporary, and what you need most of all is patience. Take your spouse to lunch. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Even though the day will bring positive responses from your investments you will also meet with some unexpected, added expenses. Just roll with the flow and you won't sink as long as you continue to think of success and not failure. Family is with you on all this.

No plane reservations till hjalf way into September off the Islands. Just like last year. We are virtual prisoners in our own state! No visiting my son till October! I am desperately unhappy!

TAROTSCOPE - June 21, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Trust your instincts today. If you have opened a door, and find you don't like the atmosphere in the room, just leave and close the door firmly behind you. You do not have to trust darkness on faith alone. If you are not comfortable where you are - look to the light and follow its beacon. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may find yourself shaking your head today to try and separate illusion from reality. Go ahead and daydream if you wish, just remember that you'll have to get a grip or take a stand soon. A broad field of choices may be narrowed down, which will improve your chances of success. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Your path is clear and smooth today, and your goals are in sight. Business, career and financial matters progress well. There is the possibility of extra earned income, and even more good financial opportunities to be built upon. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Find a bridge between duty and pleasure today, and you'll be surprised how wonderful a day you can create. Look at things from where you are, but remember what is above and below you. And be prepared for a nice surprise from the horizon.

So, Marcia, tell us about your self. I noticed you are interested in train hopping. yes i know this isn't the train hoping page but this site appears large and i haven't found my way back to that subject yet. Did you find out what C.C.R. stands for

Oh...if you really want to know about me check: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/geo/all/

June 21, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Wednesday June 21, 2000 Gemini, do you believe in a Higher Power or in anything that gives your life a sense of meaning and purpose? During this third week in your monthly energy cycle, it's good to stop and ponder what your life is all about. Do you think your life is going somewhere? Do you have a sense of direction? What are you doing? And why? You might overheat your brain trying to figure these things out for yourself. Wouldn't it be great to have someone with whom you could discuss these weighty issues? (chill out!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Wednesday June 21, 2000 Cancer, Several days ago, you began a new four-week energy cycle. You made a decision to make something happen during the month ahead. What did you decide? What changes were you willing to make? To reinforce your intention to bring some newness into your life, tell a friend what you're up to this month. Write it in your journal. Put a sign on your desk. The Force doesn't need you to light its fire, but it does need your direction. (gee, everyone has a force with them.......) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Wednesday June 21, 2000 As Benjamin Franklin said, "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of." Tomorrow is a turning point in the new energy cycle you began on June 15. Today is the time for you to take some form of action to make your wish a reality. Make up your mind! Decide to decide! Your intention is what counts. ( there you got, Terry! Do it)

Friday will be a major turning point for all of us at the Spring, the beginning of a whole new growth cycle. Stay tuned for details.

I've taken a number of actions in responses that you'll read today. I'm hoping to galvanize a major segment of this community into action and foster a new growth spurt based on innovative courseware that we develop as a a team.

June 22, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your energies are around normal but your logical reasoning ability is enhanced. Take advantage of this day by using these attributes to get ahead on your job. Give children the benefit of the doubt today as one may not be respon- sible for the latest trouble. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Your energies are also running high today and you may have the ability to 'cloud men's minds', but be sure you keep your ethics and moral values in place as you guard against taking advantage of those who seem to be standing in line for just such a thing to happen. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) A surprise of a pleasant nature will be coming your way today and if you keep on your toes you will realize great benefit from it. Be aware of the changes that a loved one is going through, and you will be able to make a positive impact on their future. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Guard against any form of carelessness on the job today and be extra careful around machinery as there exists the possibility of a small accident that being alert can prevent. This is not a good day to volunteer for extra work because you may take on more than you can handle and all your projects would suffer because of it. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may inadvertently find yourself involved in settling disputes among people you work with today, be careful though, that you are not being partial to either side as that's not the way a peacemaker works. A new relationship that will last is likely to happen to you today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) The tables turn on those that may have been trying to do you harm, you have found a stronger sense of analytical reasoning then you have known in the past and now feel more positive in your outlook. A great time for you to look into investment opportunities, and possible home based businesses. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Avoid purchasing a new home, car, or any other major item today you may have a tendency to leap before you look and get in a snarl with the financial arrangements, paying more than you should. Now is the time to start the ball rolling on that new money making idea. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) At work you will be a star, provided you use courage. You will have a challenge to face that will require it. You and automobiles do not mix to well this week, so it is best to put off any travel plans and drive as little as possible; nothing big, but there could be a small accident. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) You may want to keep notes on the ideas you come up with today, as they will come in handy for you in the future. Detail and accuracy are your most important points to remember today as the tendency to daydream is strong. Give the family some rare attention tonight. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) A good day to get outside and commune with nature if you can have enough time away from the workplace, as this is your best source of stress relief. Meditation also, will strengthen you. Let the stress that you have built up just drain away and you will be twice as ready to take on your foes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Friends and relatives will soon be needing you more often then usual, It will be up to you to get a grip on this, otherwise you will find yourself being used. Your love life is doing well, you should try and work on existing relationships instead of trying to create new ones PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) You can relax at work as long as you are doing your job and not goofing off, goofing off today could get you severely reprimanded or even terminated. Your love life is getting better, and your relationships are growing stronger, do not risk setbacks by saying hurtful things, even by accident.

June 22, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn A strong woman with a lovely spirit shows serenity, courage and kindness today. You may be asked along on an adventure - it will be fun. Someone will be an anchor in the storm. Let the winds blow! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may be feeling a bit down and disillusioned today, or even battle-weary. Take some quiet time to regroup, and refresh yourself. Don't ignore the blessings under your very feet - a simple tilt of you head will show you much new beauty you may have been overlooking. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra The lion might be the King of the Jungle, but you air people will have both the physical and the spiritual presence to make a purring pussycat out of the wild feline. Hold your arms high in the air and feel the strength of the universe coursing through your veins. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You have a strong but gentle grasp on the world around you today. You are masterful and in control, but your gentleness is a balm on the world around you. It's a great day to identify what needs to be done, and then do it. Nothing will block your way.

June 22, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Thursday June 22, 2000 Today you're entering the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you began back on June 2. You're running low on energy now, so don't push yourself. If you have been using your time and energy well, it's time now to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you haven't fared well during these past three weeks, it's time to say "oops" or "aw shucks" and forgive yourself. Promise yourself you'll do much better during your next energy cycle which starts on Thursday, June 29. (depends on who you ask - I have met the most incredible people lately) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Thursday June 22, 2000 Cancer, if anything significant occurred four or five days ago when your energy was at its peak level, today's a good time to figure out what to make of it. First of all, what happened or didn't happen? In either case, are you happy or unhappy about it? Why? What should you have done, or done differently, four or five days ago? If nothing significant happens during this four-week energy cycle, don't worry. There will always be another, and another. . . . (sigh again.......and I am here always.......) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Thursday June 22, 2000 Sagittarius, you're entering the second week of the energy cycle you began on Thursday, June 15. Have you created anything new and interesting in your life so far? Are you getting a sense of direction? Today is a turning point! Ask yourself, "Just how good am I willing to have it be in my life?" What's your answer? The results of what you've been doing during the past week are due to show up around Thursday, June 29. (just hang in there Terry....) Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Thursday June 22, 2000 Libra, you possess within yourself, at every moment of your life, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of your life. You're at that place in your monthly energy cycle where a shift is needed in your attitude toward yourself. Life is trying to make you happy. Are you ready and willing to give up your limitations? Today, be willing to see yourself differently. "Don't find fault, find a remedy." (Henry Ford) (Lance's Mom is in the hospital and gravely ill)

Tarotscope - sun signs - June 23, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Many others may have tried on Cinderella's glass slipper - but only the true and rightful owner was able to finally claim it! Many have tried to pull the sword from the stone, but maybe your courage and your efforts will create the magic touch necessary to succeed where others have failed. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Your boat may be tossed about a bit by the forces of nature today. If you stay put, focus on your destination, and put a little muscle power into it, you can row your boat to pleasant shores. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra A day to balance your finances, your opportunities and your schedule. There will be time and resources enough for everything in your capable hands. Meet a friend if you can - and go for a stroll by the water. It will be a joyous time. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A young person will delight you with their charm and creativity. Perhaps it's time to let your own creative spirit soar a little - fresh viewpoints may emerge that will give you a new take on a situation. Listen to some music, or paint a picture, or plant a flower - enjoy creativity in all its aspects.

(new boyfriend just asked for my poems - does that count????)

June 23, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Friday June 23, 2000 Gemini, you're in the final week of your monthly energy cycle. It's a good time to ask your Self: "Do I have a game plan for my life? Do I keep on making the same old mistakes?" Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." If you've been spinning your wheels for the past three weeks and "getting nowhere fast," maybe your life needs a purpose. "What is the use of living if it be not to make this world a better place for those who live in it after we are gone?" (Winston Churchill) ( I am trying...!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Friday June 23, 2000 Cancer, don't be surprised today if you have the urge to get away from your normal routine and go someplace far away. You're in that part of your energy cycle now where you feel a mood or a restlessness you can't quite pin down. If nothing of any importance happened four or five days ago when your energy level was at a peak, you've probably still got energy to burn. You might be bored. If it's possible to do something radically different today, great. If not, get out and stretch your legs, or take a long drive. (Honey, join me for a good hike!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Friday June 23, 2000 Sagittarius, no matter how wise and mature you become, you still have feelings and needs. Periodically, you feel the need to be with people who love and accept you for who you are, not for what they get from you. These nutritious people might actually be family members or may feel like family. Today is a good day to connect with a caring soul. Who in your life makes you feel good for being you? If you feel like it, get in touch with that person today and say "Thanks for being in my life." (You're on your own for this one)

Junbe 23, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A social connection will introduce you to a valuable business person who will help to further your career. Family plans for the coming weekend may go awry but things will smooth out so everyone will enjoy the outing. Keep your cool with a friend today. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) The advisability of pursuing a certain business plan will give you extra incentive today but take it slow and by the numbers. Things will work out nicely with a spouse or other if you give them half a chance to explain things to you. A laid back even- ing puts you at ease. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Indecisiveness is your bane and today will be another where you find it hard to make a choice and stick to it, remember, you cannot have your cake and eat it too. An invitation to go out on the river this weekend may not be your best choice, stay home and take it easy. CANCER (June 22-July 22) After a busy week, just when you think things are winding down you are tapped for overtime, it is a good idea to accept in a cheerful manner as this could lead to your eventual promotion. This is a good time to start planning your home repairs and facelift after the winter storms. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) An inspiration brought on by someone or something at work gives you some great home redecorating ideas. Go for it but be sure you don't break the bank in the process. You are socially well connected which will bring you some aid in the financial department. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) At work this morning you are met with some good news about your career plans and you are overjoyed. Friends and family are sufficiently impressed about this to give you a congrat- ulations party. The initial travel required will be lots more fun if you take a loved one along. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Home decorating or redecorating will be your main focus for today and that makes this a good day to go out and shop for the things you will need. Furniture bargains and even col- lectibles are easy to find when you are really looking for them. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Your charm will play a big part today in having doors opened for you both in the business world and in your personal life. Be sure that you act ethically and with honor in all you attempt today in order for your plans to have the most suc- cess. Lies will be found out. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Don't be afraid to speak out as you have strong opinions on certain matters, and there are certain things that need to be said in order to let the opposition know exactly where you stand on the issues. Family and friends are in your corner and root you on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) No confrontations for you today as your laid back mood just won't support it. Best to nod and smile and keep walking, you'll get a better chance at a later date. Travel plans for the weekend may be canceled due to some disruption in the family; nothing so serious that you can't handle it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) An unexpected favor from an unexpected source gives you a boost at your job as you are given a raise on the strength of this persons recommendation. Don't expect too much togetherness from the family tonight as everyone has their own agenda and their own direction to go. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Going gung ho at work today gets you there first with the most and you are the one who gathers the laurels and the recognition which leads to higher pay. A good friend lends you inspiration in some creative endeavors, and a spouse lets you in on the happy secret.

(this is so funny - me - This is a good time to start planning your home repairs and facelift after the winter storms. him - Go for it [redecorating] but be sure you don't break the bank in the process. You are socially well connected which will bring you some aid in the financial department. He's just this week pulled in a social connection to help get the house repairs done - a builder friend who will supply the workmen and materials at cost!!!! At long last, just as we are leaving, the house will be decent!!! Grrrrr!)

June 24, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Good judgment will help you through some shaky time in your business world today. Fortunately you have plenty of that and you handle all problems as they confront you. A family situation will take up a good part of your evening but com- promise saves the day. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) This is not a good day to take time off from your business to spend in personal pursuits. This is a crucial period in the life of your business and you should be right there on top of everything. It only takes a minute for a molehill to become a mountain. You are the only one who will recognize these molehills in time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Traffic is rough today so be careful every minute you are on the road. Drive defensively. Try to handle problems as they arise and things will go more smoothly for you. The promotion you have been working for could come through for you today and that puts everyone in a great mood. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Tempers may be very close to the surface and it would be wise to treat everyone with an extra dose of courtesy and kindness so as to short circuit any budding feuds. Search for hidden clauses in all contracts today as there is a possibility of an 'I gotcha" in one. Keep alert and the truth will not elude you in these matters. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone close to you will confide her/his love and dreams to you today and you are amazed. You have wanted to open up to this person but you were sure she/he cared more for someone else, but now you are on cloud nine and the two of you start on your wedding plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Financial worries beset you now and you spend most of your day worrying until you realize that work, not worry will get you over the hump. Pay close attention to details and put those new plans into operation. Soon you will have those financial problems all taken care of. Offer employees fresh incentives to be more productive. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you should receive that all important call and you jump at it. You may be in a dead end job with no chance of advancement and have had your feelers out for a new position with an up and coming new company. This promises to be the way to go. A loved one is with you one hundred percent on your change. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Hell hath no fury--- it would be a good thing to watch your back, figuratively speaking, of course, for awhile. At least until a certain person calms down. There could be some disquieting episodes at work but you handle them with your usual tact and diplomacy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your ship finally comes in but be careful as it is not yet firmly tied to the dock. No one knows your business better than you do. Shore up your business as best you can by paying close attention to the weakest areas. Assign key people to handle the parts that are running smoothly and you handle the rest. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Someone out there thinks of you as easy prey and will make their move accordingly. You are not as gullible as thought and you are able to recognize the con when it is put forth and send them packing. Be cautious on the job today as there may be a few minor mishaps. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Friends and loved ones lean more and more on you for spiritual guidance as they sense your psychic energy. Your love life should be noticeably picking up. Mar- ried people will feel more drawn towards a loved one. You will do well at work, and will have a lot of positive new ideas. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your energies are around normal levels, but your reasoning ability will be enhanced. Take advantage of this time by addressing the most unpleasant areas of your life that require this type of logical approach. Pay close attention to the hidden messages in the songs of children, many gems have been mined like this.

Gemini (May 22-June 21) Saturday June 24, 2000 Gemini, you're at the point in your 4-week energy cycle where it would be good for you to go through a debriefing. It's important for you to make emotional contact with people who are your true friends. Your hopes, dreams and wishes can come and go, but friends are forever. It would make you feel good to contact a close friend today. You don't need to have something important to say. It's the contact that counts. ( and I have some who will be in my heart forever) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Saturday June 24, 2000 Today you're entering the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you began back on June 4. You're running low on energy now, so don't push yourself. If you have been using your time and energy well, it's time now to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you haven't fared well during these past three weeks, it's time to say "oops" or "aw shucks" and forgive yourself. Promise yourself you'll do much better during your next energy cycle, which starts a week from today on Saturday, July 1. (Oh Dear - down time for your birthday??!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Saturday June 24, 2000 All work and no play makes Sagittarius a dull person. Psychologists say that one sign of a healthy person is his or her ability to play. What have you done lately for the sheer, childlike pleasure of enjoying yourself? Today is a good day for you to create a happy, entertaining experience for yourself. Go to a movie. Have a date. Eat an ice cream cone. Do anything that's fun for you. It'll do your heart good. (Fooling around in the pool??!!)

June 26, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Today is a day to enjoy just BEING. Open yourself to the wonders of nature, the universe, and of YOU! You can choose a new path, and the beauty of it is, there is no need to struggle or push today. The future is unfolding with promise and delight, so just take it all in. And, take some time to play today. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Self-esteem issues may surface today. Remember that self-respect is even more important than the respect of others, so start there. Others may not be seeing you clearly right now, so put little weight on external opinions. If they are wrong, it will soon come to light. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You will likely be in an introverted, 'I want to be alone' type of mood today, or alternatively, for those who work or spend a lot of time alone, you'll be chafing at your isolation. Regardless of your mood, make sure you don't reject, out of hand, good advice or leadership from others. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A father, or a respected person or advisor could figure prominently today - and you'll be glad of the advice or guidance you receive. It is a great day for dealings with the government, bosses, and bureaucrats. If you need to make some decisions today, do so with a level head and firm hand.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday June 26, 2000 Are you happy, Sagittarius? Abraham Lincoln said, "You're about as happy as you make up your mind to be." You're at that point in your monthly energy cycle where Life is asking you how happy you're willing to be. Today, it's time to make up your mind to let happiness happen in your life. No matter how old you are, there's a little kid in you who wants to enjoy life. Just say yes!

June 26, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Monday June 26, 2000 Gemini, during this winding down period in your energy cycle, it's good to have a supportive group or at least a friend to reassure you that you're not alone. No one can live in a vacuum. Engaging in friendly group efforts or projects now may be just what the doctor ordered to get you in touch with others like yourself. Take a friend to lunch. Better yet, get a group of friends together after work, let your hair down and enjoy yourself. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Monday June 26, 2000 Cancer, you're in the final week of your monthly energy cycle. It's a good time to ask your Self: "Do I have a game plan for my life? Do I keep on making the same old mistakes? Albert Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." If you've been spinning your wheels for the past three weeks and "getting nowhere fast," maybe your life needs a purpose. "What is the use of living if it be not to make this world a better place for those who live in it after we are gone?" (Winston Churchill)

June 26, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21-April 20) Times and employers have changed over the years and it has been a few since you had to look for a job, but a friend puts you on to a prospect and you apply and find just what you wanted, and the salary is right, along with the hours and working conditions. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A new person at work gives the impression of a know it all and mean tempered, take time to get to know this person and you may find that he or she is only suffering from first day nerves, and since everyone is different, this is the way it is shown. You help and see the change in attitude. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You will be getting some good advice from someone you have trusted with your secrets in the past, and this would be a good time to listen to this person as he only has your best interest at heart and could keep you from getting into some very bad trouble, which you can't easily get out of. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Although you hate a liar and will fall out with someone for life because of it, you are not above telling a few yourself, and this one will get you into more trouble than you can imagine if you don't stop what you are doing and confess immediately, before someone tells the secret first. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) True love matters and you make it work for your marriage. A new position at work brings you more prestige with coworkers. An Aries may be walking on the fighting side of you today but you stand your ground and everything works out just the way you wanted it too. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Love with Leo could be a fiery affair, and worth the trouble if you want to pursue it, one thing for sure, it will never be a dull life. A Scorpio boss may be on the warpath today so if you have outside work to do this would be the day for it. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Libra is living a lucky life today as everything he or she attempts come through with flying colors and turns to gold in the bank. Get those new ideas up and going today, before someone else beats you to them. Luck won't last forever so strike while you have the advantage. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Being a scorpion and a tad too pushy will get you absolutely nowhere in the love department as your loved one has more fight than you expected and won't put up with a lot of foolish- ness, so, of course, you sweeten up. Watch that Scorpio sting, it can bring you a lot of woes. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) At home you will find your loved one warming up as you and the spouse reaffirm your love for one another and discover a whole new closeness. A good day for getting promoted on the job as today you can do no wrong and you feel yourself clicking like clockwork. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A wonderful invitation to go out on the town comes from the person you have been wanting to go out with. Try not to go alone into any unsavory neighborhoods today as there may be danger lurking nearby. Whatever your business there, take a companion with you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) The boss is not having a good day so this would not be a good time to be late for work or draw attention to yourself in any other way. The local morning news will hold a surprise for you if not a downright shock. All quiet on the home front until evening when you will have to deal with the morning shock. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Weather permitting, this would be a good morning to start your day off with a brisk walk or jog around the block before you get into your daily activities. Your coworkers are glad you are around to spread your cheer and goodwill. Work should be a breeze for you today as you get right into the swing of things.

June 26, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Aries the ram may be climbing mountains that are a little too steep in places, but you will see the light today and head for the nearest plateau. A promotion at work is just what the doctor ordered to get you back on track. Plan a quiet evening at home and let your nerves settle down. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) An e-mail message may have you standing on your head in anticipation of finally meeting this dream that you have been conversing with for months. Be sure that when you do meet it is in a well populated place and not alone, until you are well acquainted with him/her. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Mountain climbing may not be this sea goats favorite past time so it is best not to go around making mountains out of molehills and asking for trouble and/or disappointment in your affairs. A coworker may exhibit some jealousy today as you collect kudos at work. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don't let wild imaginations run away with you today as you try to project what someone is likely to do or not do. Actions taken could be for several different reasons and you may not even be close to figuring this person out. Let your nerves relax and unwind as you wait for a more positive action or word. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) An overbearing person at work may have you so incensed today that you feel like just walking out on the job. Don't ever do that as your reputation follows you to the next one, be- sides, it is always easier to find another place of employ- ment when you are already employed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Even though you are no longer a child you still feel like saying, "Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself" when a doting parent tries to help you out of a spot you are in. Being an adult, and sure of your own inner strength, you should use your strength to accept gracefully and not injure loving feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A spouse may be pulling all the work load he or she can at the moment and you step forward to ease the burden to the best of your ability, and that is a considerable amount as you have abilities that have not even been tested yet, but your 'I can do it' attitude sees you through. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) While love is beautiful and grand it is still not the end all and the be all of your life, so if this person drives you to the brink of sanity or otherwise causes you much unrest you might want to meditate along the lines of: is it love, or is it codependency. You will see the difference. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Family affairs take up most of your time and thought today as a young one may be ill and you will be involved in his or her recuperation process. Don't hesitate today to make room for an in-law who will stay with you for the duration of the illness and contribute professional care and advice. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Put off making any firm decisions today as the chances are good that you will not be able to make them stick, and if you have to back down, or change your position on certain matters, it could cause you a loss of prestige in the work place. Plan a quiet get together with friends tonight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Someone you have put off confronting lately finally steps forward and forces the issue, if you stand your ground and hold fast to your convictions you may be able to make this person see reason and logic in what you have accomplished without him or her. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Visitors from afar descend on you today and catch you un- prepared, but you are the kind of person who excels when faced with a challenge and soon have everyone settled and happy. Children may not want to give up their room, even for a short term visit, but you find bribery works wonders.

June 26, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Oops - that beacon of light you thought you saw on the horizon has disappeared in the mist. Not a problem - maybe it's better to have the chance to choose your own route and not follow someone's else beckoning. Listen to your teachers, and then do what YOU think is right. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius If you are faced with a confrontation you have two choices. If it is clear that the battle is a losing one, then cut your losses and try again another day. However, if the issues are clear and worthwhile, may your stand and never mind what others think. A clean fight may clear the air. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Joy and attainment mark this day as your goals come to fruition. A ray of sunshine lights up your life, and you are blessed in friends, family, optimism and satisfaction. Get outside if you can and dance in the sunshine. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You may be feeling a bit like the butterfly who is afraid to leave the cocoon today. What are you afraid of? If you have to deal with some unwelcome changes or disappointing legal decisions, take the bull by the horns and do what needs to be done to give your spirit free rein to start anew.

CANCER: The sign of Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Physically it is related to the breasts and stomach. It is said to have a feminine nature, and is therefore more reactive in its energy. It is a Water sign, and as such is connected to the world of emotion and the instincts. It is also a Cardinal sign, which means that planets placed here will express themselves in a very dynamic fashion - especially in matters connected with care and protection. This sign is associated with motherhood and the family. There is a great sensitivity on an inner level, but rather a secretive nature. Loyalty and attachment, sentimentality and hanging on to the past, are all characteristics associated with Cancer. Planets in this sign will often reflect a vulnerable character and oversensitive nature. There is also a possessive streak, and a tendency to be emotionally smothering. Nevertheless Cancer confers a strong intuitive nature and deeply-held feelings. There is a strong attachment to the home and awareness of the environment. Planets in Cancer come to expression most clearly in connection with the home and family.

June 27, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Tuesday June 27, 2000 Cancer, you're at the point in your four-week energy cycle where it would be good for you to go through a debriefing. It's important for you to make emotional contact with people who are your true friends. Your hopes, dreams and wishes can come and go, but friends are forever. It would make you feel good to contact a close friend today. You don't need to have something important to say. It's the contact that counts. (so many straight lines and so public this topic....) Gemini (May 22-June 21) Tuesday June 27, 2000 Gemini, if you're spinning your wheels and can't get your focus, or if you're feeling like you're in limbo, don't panic. There's nothing wrong. Tomorrow is the last day of your current 4-week energy cycle. It's normal for you to feel like withdrawing. This is a good time to sit back and evaluate how well you're handling the art of living. Are you okay with the way you've spent these last 4 weeks of your life? Do you have the sense that you're living your ( it was a very slow day - my gentlemen were busy or whatever..sigh!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tuesday June 27, 2000 Sagittarius, you possess within yourself, at every moment of your life, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of your life. You're at that place in your monthly energy cycle where a shift is needed in your attitude toward yourself. Life is trying to make you happy. Are you ready and willing to give up your limitations? Today, be willing to see yourself differently. "Don't find fault. Find a remedy." (Henry Ford) (Go Terry!) life or that life is living you? In two days, you'll be starting a new energy cycle. It's time to warm up your dream machine. If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true?

For Lance whose mother is undergoing open heart surgery, Hugs and love! Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Tuesday June 27, 2000 Your current energy cycle peaked two days ago. The wave of energy you experienced then has still not subsided. Today your emotions are more intense than usual. You can tell by the way people are reacting to you. You may be drawn to certain types of people you normally don't approach. You're experiencing feelings and moods very different from your normal self. What was going on with you two days ago? Are you feeling now what was too deep or strong for you to feel back then? If you're feeling strange or confused, talk to a close friend or anybody you can totally trust. Get it off your chest!

I keep hearing about these new energy cycles, they keep coming in waves.

Yup....and mine are all mental. I seem to lack the energy to do stuff like weeding and scrubbing floors willingly.

Plans for the day should involve a lot of physical activity as you seem to have an over abundant amount of energy. Try a long walk, you will find it very enjoyable and refreshing. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A new love may not be for you as this person has a long track record of short affairs and you are looking for someone to go through life with, better keep shopping around. Friends ask you out tonight and perhaps intro- duce you to someone that puts the other person right in the shade.

EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You may be better off spending some time alone today, rather than trying to get others to see eye to eye with you and cheer you on. Total understanding and agreement is not absolutely necessary in a relationship - look for areas where there is harmony, and let the rest be. June 28, 2000 FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may find yourself surrounded with external negativity this week. It is a good time to shore up your defences, both external and internal, but also to examine your inner strength. The petty problems and negativities of others should not alter your own course. Stand firm. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Someone or something from your past could turn up today and light up your future. It is possible this person or situation will present an opportunity to clear up old misunderstandings or hurt feelings, so be ready to take advantage of this chance to release buried negativities. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Feeling victimized or unfairly attacked may dent your emotions today, but there is no need to dwell on bygones. Take a few minutes to reflect on the situation, then pick up the pieces and you will find a new and clear playing field.

June 29, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Thursday June 29, 2000 Cancer, if you're spinning your wheels and can't get your focus, or if you're feeling like you're in limbo, don't panic. There's nothing wrong. Tomorrow is the last day of your current four-week energy cycle. It's normal for you to feel like withdrawing. This is a good time to sit back and evaluate how well you're handling the art of living. Are you OK with the way you've spent these last four weeks of your life? Do you have the sense that you're living your life or that life is living you? In two days, you'll be starting a new energy cycle. It's time to warm up your dream machine. If you don't have a dream, how can you have a dream come true? Gemini (May 22-June 21) Thursday June 29, 2000 Gemini, you're beginning a new 4-week energy cycle today. You're "in the zone." The Force is with you and waiting for your command. What do you want? What is your intent and purpose for the month ahead? Right NOW, tell your Self, "I want ______." Be specific. In your mind's eye, see it happening. In your tummy, feel that it's a done deal. Smile! Your wish is the Force's command. Expect to start seeing results around July 12-13. (Oh no....not more men wanting me to have their children?!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Thursday June 29, 2000 Sagittarius, today you're entering the third week of the energy cycle you began back on Thursday, June 15. You're now at the halfway point. It's time to see the consequences of what you've been up to for the past two weeks. Check your calendar to see where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing back around June 2. During the next few days, it would be good to follow up on, or put to rest, what you were doing back then.

Today's the meeting about Austen University, it's at 10 am and I still need a mock up page showing courses we could hold. I also am very busy on the Cedar Creek property. Someone has offered to buy firth.com. Should we sell firth.com, hold another pledge drive or work together to build Austin University. I overwhelmingly favor the third of these alternatives for Sprign fundraising, but we're going to have to harmonize and work with each other.

July Overview Astrological overview for the month: The big news is a series of "bookend" eclipse occurring at the first and the last of the month. Then, right smack in the middle, there's another one. And the beginning of the month is a Cancer time, too, and this sign is intimately associated with the Moon. But beside the lunar and solar cycles, there's also Jupiter, sitting still at the very entrance to Gemini, and I'm sure this is causing a degree of consternation there, like having a friend stuck half in and half out the front door. Mercury goes direct in Cancer around the same time of the middle eclipse, and Cancer is stuck with Mr. Mars for the duration of the month, too. Venus moves from Cancer right on through Leo, and that's going to bring a little bit of welcome relief of sorts, to certain fire signs. "But what's that all mean?" Read on. Questions about your own chart? Questions about what is coming up, just for you? The FGS Chart Shop is open 24/7. http://www.astrofish.net Aries : This month reminds me of a single event in my life, sort of a compressed time event. The influences in your life will leave you feeling like I did, one fateful morning while standing in line to get my hard earned American Dollars converted to English Pounds. Between the eclipses, the retrogrades, and the position of Jupiter, you've got a lot of influences pushing on you. What does it feel like? It's like standing in that line, after an overnight coach flight -- sitting next to someone who insisted on reading a book the whole time instead of sleeping -- although, sleeping on an overnight flight to England is a little difficult at best. So compound this image with lots of Jet Lag. Then imagine yourself in in a foreign land where the native tongue is supposed to be one that you understand. Then imagine yourself standing behind a guy speaking flawless French, holding onto his French girlfriend, and the pair of them are wearing Cowboy Boots. Manly Footwear. Pointy toes, riding heels, the real thing. Probably manufactured in West Texas. There's just something which doesn't quite add up. It left me with a little bit of a shock, almost too much, and it left me at a point where I couldn't say anything. This is a month where you're going to find yourself, more than once, staring at some vision, a scene, some event, where you just can't quite form words to explain the incongruities. Don't try. Remember, it's just passing moment of confusion, and it will all make sense (maybe not) later. Just pull out your money and hand it over to the counter agent. Sometimes, like this month, it's better not to ask questions. And as long as your handing out money, remember your astrology buddy. You know the number. Taurus : At this point in my life, I have written so much about Mercury Retrograde, and I have been haunted so much by what I've written that I loathe having to ever type those words again. Or utter them in a sentence. Of course, Mercury Retrograde is a natural cycle of beginnings, middles, and endings. There is no surprise there. And this month really doesn't hold too many surprises for Taurus. There's a long month punctuated by a series of reviews while you go back and visit past places and events. This might be literal, like a trip back to the country (or county in some cases) where you were raised, or it might be on that big screen video system in your Taurus brain (with surround sound). Part of this is Mercury, part of this the eclipses, and part of this is the end of the Saturn season. Now, there is a degree of long sought after reward coming up -- better yet, there's a good chance that this reward gets here before the end of the month. This is an opportunity to see a culmination of the review sessions you've experienced all month long. Wait until Mercury gets out of the way, though, before you announce that you've got the whole picture in focus. And don't spend that big check until it clears the bank. Gemini : Remember when I was admonishing Gemini to "chop wood and carry water"? It's an old Zen expression, and it suggests that you roll up your sleeves and do a little bit of dirty work, that manual labor stuff. I was stuck on a road crew once with a Gemini, and that particular character made the work go a lot easier because of the non=ADstop entertainment Gemini factor. I did notice, however, that I seemed to be using the shovel a little more than the Gemini. This month, the only planet really in your sign is Jupiter. The Mercury thing is at the first of the month, and then there's a Venus thing a little later. This adds up to some hard work around the house. And I'm back to the idea that you could be doing something good like gardening. Or pick your choice of home improvement ideas. Even though the retrograde and assorted astrological events are over before the end of the month, and even though the final third of the month is "supposed" to be good, there's still a catch. Throttle back on the Gemini ability to talk about how good things are until next month. These eclipse patterns are going to wind you up some, and you don't need to be like that Gemini I worked with on the road crew, more talk than action. Cancer : What would you do if you won the lottery? The first thing that comes to my Cancer's mind is pay off some old debts, maybe spruce up the trailer a little, see about getting new blocks for the car in the parking space (it's a classic you know, the car, not the blocks), and celebrate a little. Got the correct imagine here? I'm telling you about an uproariously happy time. And I'm trying to stress this sort of thought pattern for you. What with the big hue and cry about the eclipses, and the thought that this stuff is actually going to work out, there is a winning combination in this month, if you are willing to look for it. "What chew mean, 'winning combination'? That like numbers to win with?" Not exactly. If I could actually pick winning lottery numbers, would I be writing this stuff? But it does mean that you've got a weird, lucky break which comes from some corner of the sky where you least expect it. And there's a chance, actually, three chances, that you've got to make this work. Since the odds are really against a big lottery win, I can't promise that. But there is an opportunity or two (or three) for similar type of gain for you. You benefit from acting like you can win this month. Leo : This eclipse pattern, this month, is compounded by a couple of factors. You've got Venus dragging herself all over you right now. The last time that happened, it wasn't exactly a happy time, so it's not like you're all smiles about this one, either. And the pernicious, but ultimately harmless Mercury thing is happening in the sign that comes right before the Majestic Leo, again, this isn't the most opportune of times. Finally, there's that eclipse pattern itself. But wait, before you shoot the astrologer, or even before you consider taking aim on my beady little head, let me remind you that some of this works out to be pretty good. There's a long haul to the good stuff, though, and it's matter of keeping yourself together until we all arrive at that good stuff. Now, let's review some facts: no one knows how to party like Leo. There is a great window for a Leo like party coming at the end of the month. Getting to the end of the month is going to be a chore. The harder you work at seemingly mindless tasks and redundant errors in the first part of the month only serves to make the victory at the end of the month feel ever so much sweeter. Virgo : Mercury Retrogrades usually affect you guys pretty hard. It's not the planet itself, not this time, it's everyone else. And as much as you would like to just "go to your room" and lock the door, it doesn't always work that way. Until the sun slides into Leo, really late in the month, you're going to find that you get an undue amount of attention. And with the planets behaving in this fashion, it's not exactly the kind of attention that you want. It's nice to be loved, but it sometimes hurts a little when you find out that you're being loved for the wrong reasons. And then there's the "emergency" urgency which comes with this month. You find yourself stuck cleaning up other folks' messes. It's not exactly what you had in mind for the month. But there's a bright spot to this, if you can adjust your Virgo way of thinking, because this sort of emergency clean up service is right up your Virgo alley way. So it's no use trying to hide from it all, and let's face it, no one will help us have better time than a good Virgo this month. Enjoy what you can of the eclipses. Libra : I'm judiciously not quoting from Shakespeare's King Lear this month, although, for a small section of the sky, the dire words about eclipse and portents thereof would certainly fit for some of my Libra friends. Regrettably, it's just going to be a weird month. Best thing to do is grab the family, or the kids, or the wife, or the significant other, and head yourself right on out to a vacation spot. I don't want to look like I'm a die hard Texan, but the Gulf Coat (oft referred to as the "Third Coast") would be an ideal choice this month. Lazy days frolicking on the beach, summer nights in the open air cantinas, work in a little fishing, get one of the good Gulf Coast guides to take you out for a little deep sea adventure, it just looks too inviting right now. What you need to be careful about, though, is checking the voice mail, or the office e-mail, or anything that remotely resembles that sort of endeavor. This is supposed to be a vacation month. And the more time you spend out of touch, the better you will feel. Mercury is guaranteed to make you feel like you're out of it, so why not make it literal? And those problems back home that you have no control over? You can have the perfect excuse this month: "I was on vacation, and I didn't know my pager (cell phone, computer, global positioning device) was out of range...." Scorpio : I keep a rotating stock of reference books on a shelf right over my desk. This collection of reference material varies every so often. Sometimes, depending on my moods, it's got the annals of great Western Civilization as the bulk of the contents. Sadly, that turns out to be a bunch of stuff written in the last two thousand years by dead white guys. Other times, I have some trashy material, Science Fiction, Romance, or even some New Age stuff, perhaps something like the classic "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones." In the Northern Hemisphere, it's the heights of the summer months, and it's hot. And with the present disposition of the planets, I would suggest that the best bet for right now is to rotate your personal literary reference shelf, like I do. You need something different for a little while. When Mercury is retrograde, you're going to find yourself forced back to the all time classics, the "dead white guys" material. But keep one eye looking forward because there is some good stuff coming up. The effect of the Mercury period is not as deleterious on you as it is on other folks. And it's not such a bad thing, either. It's going to give you chance, as this month gets a little older, to broaden some of the material that you're reading. Like rotating stock on my reference shelf, you want to consider finding something a little less filling to read right now. Around here, it's called "summer reading material" but you can call it whatever you want. Try using something from a different genre just to make sure you've got a good way of looking at things this month. If you need further suggestion, two authors readily come to mind. While their material is packaged as summer reading, I'm sure the Scorpio side of you can see through the fluff. (Suggested authors this month? Rudolfo Anya and Leslie Marmon Silko.) Sagittarius : The first part of this month is simple because it deals with a situation, astrologically speaking, where you are concerned with the Mercury Retrograde effect. That means old business, old friends, past significant others, former scenarios, and perhaps even some bait left over a from a long time ago. In most of these examples, it's really not much of a problem. Like my tattoo, though, with a little arrow forever pointing forward, your inherent Sagittarius nature wants to keep covering new ground rather than digging up the old stuff and examining yet one more time. That's part of the problem this month, because the first part of the month will unearth some old stuff which really needs to be looked at. The second part of the month, and it divides itself neatly along a Mercury line, has to do with opening up new business opportunities and crossing territories that offer wide open vistas that you never considered before. You're going to find yourself back to the true nature of your Sagittarius self as the sudden change in a planet's apparent direction swings from "old stuff" to "new horizons." What more could a Sagittarius ask for? Capricorn : Being heavily affiliated the planet Saturn has some good points. I'm not sure what these points are because I couldn't find them in any of the modern astrology text books. But if you'll humor me this month, I think that you will find that you can make it through the weirdness that the universe is shoveling your way. I realize that the term "shoveling" might have some pejorative denotations for the way you feel like most of this month, but to be fair, the planets have delivered an old load of material which desperately needs your review and revision process. It's like one of my old grammar teachers -- the guy would stop reading one of my papers whenever he encountered an egregious typographical mistake. The temptation this month is to attempt to fix more than one mistake at a time. That doesn't work. The correct course of action, against my better judgment, is to correct that single mistake, print the paper again, and shoot it back. You need to pay attention to this process. Of course, if you're not careful, plotting, plodding and even pedantic with your work habits, then this all goes out the window. Fix the problems, one at a time. It might feel like you're using a spade compared to the planets' shovel, but more than one of my teachers has suggested that I used a shovel. Stick to fixing one problem at a time because otherwise, you're going to find that you get as scattered as the average Sagittarius scholar. Aquarius : In the midst of the summer (it is summer in Texas), there's always a bit of lull in the activity. We get these days when there is nothing better to do than sit on the porch, in the evening's fading twilight, sip a cool glass of ice tea, and look out over the front yard. The first stars of the night begin to creep into the short darkness. The rose colored sunset fades to a deep amber hue, and you begin thinking that life is good again because the AC is broken, and now that the sun's down, you can get cooled off. There's a window of time, this month, and it's like those short summer nights in Texas, it's not a very long period when you've got some work you can get out of the way. The problem you're facing this month, and this gets a lot more pronounced as the month gets older, is that you're sorely tempted to spend the cool evenings of the month sipping that tea instead of tending to what needs to be tended to. When you get presented with a "window of opportunity" this month, and there are several, then take advantage of said window. You're tempted to avoid it all today, and that's not an advisable course of action. Pisces : There comes a point in every person's life when you have no choice (the plot device is such that it always appears like you have no choice), you can only take so much, and you reach that breaking point, and suddenly you're a little ballistic, you know, careening around with no control surfaces which seem to work. There is at least one school of astrological thought which suggests that you can't control a Pisces anyway which only contributes an unsteady image to this already unstable imagery. The eclipse can be good for you, but you've got to be willing to work with what's there. Deal with what's been dealt to you this month. Don't rely on apparent promises of associates to deliver hardware that you know might, or might not, be coming through. You can't count on your old friend "Bubba" to come through with their latest piece of fishing tackle which is something that you feel like you desperately need this month, nope, you can't count on Bubba to do deliver right now. You can count on being able to do it your Pisces self, though. So be extra careful about relying on the words and deeds of others this month, and as long as the moon is playing tag like this, then consider taking care of it yourself. You'll be happier, I'm sure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A recent purchase has you wondering if you may have made a mistake in buying it. Give it a second chance and you will find that it was not such a bad mistake at all.

June 30, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Friday June 30, 2000 Cancer, today is the last day in the four-week energy cycle you began back on June 4. Your fuel tank is almost empty. You're running on fumes. Be nice to yourself today. Don't push yourself. Avoid people and situations that drain your energy. If possible, leave work early today. Spend the rest of the day doing what nurtures and relaxes you. Fear not! You start a new energy cycle tomorrow. Once again, the Force will be with you. (Curl up with me and let the rest of the world disappear...) Gemini (May 22-June 21) Friday June 30, 2000 Gemini, you began a new 4-week energy cycle yesterday. The Force is ready and waiting to fulfill your Heart's Desire. NOW is the moment of power. Once again, tell your Self, "I want ______." Ask your Self, "How good am I willing to have it be?" And remember, "It is our attitude at the beginning that more than anything else produces a successful outcome." (Earl Nightingale) (Oh My.....My heart's Desire.....if only......) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Friday June 30, 2000 'There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune.' (Shakespeare) Today is a good time to seek the support or resources you need for whatever you've been working on during the past two weeks. If your intention to make something happen was strong, you'll be seeing some results now. During the next two weeks, follow through on what you started. Join forces with the people who share your interest and enthusiasm for doing something new.

June 30, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Any recent attacks - real or imagined - on your emotions will be cleared up today, even if they were self-inflicted. Past hurts will heal and are ready to be released. Looking on the 'bright side' will bring incredible illumination into your spirit. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may have to accept today that this is just a slow week and no amount of pushing and striving is going to change matters. Others may be trying to 'rain on your parade' and your just rewards are being held in limbo. Instead of panicking, look for life lessons to be learned. Your rewards are on their way - it will just be a teensy bit longer than you wanted to wait. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Onward and upward, troops! You'll be the focus of attention as you step into action, and your loyal followers (or groupies) fall into step behind you. It's a great day to take up a new cause or project - so start marching! WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Swift and dramatic life changes are likely today. Energies may be shifting at lightning speed, so batten down the hatches and get the lifejacket ready! (Of course, the more adventurous among you will be standing outside enjoying the swirling storm.) Unsound structures may come tumbling down today.

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Be careful that you explain things today in a clear and lucid manner as people will tend to see something different in your views if you do not present it as you perceive it to be. Never brag about the things you have acquired even if you are justly proud of them. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You have an ambitious plan for home improvement, but remember that you are only one person and can only do just so much alone. This is a good day for working on your budget and get- ting all those bills up to date and ready for mailing as soon as the first of the month rolls around. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You have learned to look at the future in a realistic manner, and will act in your own best interests when a few friends try to get you to become involved in one of their escapades and since your last experience with them you wisely back out and opt for a quiet day at home. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Since this is Saturday and you may not have to work today, you should use this time to catch up on some badly needed sleep, as you have been burning the midnight oil for quite a while now and it is sapping your energy and drive which is very noticeable at work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) With a display of renewed optimism and courage you will be a shoo in for the first position that comes available, possibly later today, and you will always be a winner when you give free rein to these two traits of yours. You should guard against giving the wrong impression to a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Yes there is such a thing as an accident that is not your loved ones fault and this may be it so don't be so harsh in your judgment, and do be on hand to give out the hugs and reassurances. Today you may let an excellent financial opportunity pass you by unless you look sharp. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Work of a creative nature is indicated for today and you may wish to sign up for a course or even a seminar to help you toward your goals. Don't sign any legal papers without the advice of a lawyer, so if you must, wait on those until you can talk with one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't go off on a tangent today when everything does not go according to the way you want it to, you must realize that others may have made separate plans from you and do not wish to change them. Be congenial and let your love show through as you bow to their wishes. There, that didn't hurt too much, did it? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you place the emphasis on fun , and rightly so, conside- ing your wealth of choice when it comes to enjoyment. Try not to invite trouble today as everyone has a chance of being reasonable; you try to get each one to agree on a fun place to go; compromise another weekend to please some. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) If you combine your traits of aggressiveness with your natural charm today you will find yourself being a winner all day long. Today it would not be wise to 'shut another out' so that they cannot exercise their freedom of speech and express their opposition to your ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Avoid making any type of commitment without getting the advice of experts today, and don't jump rashly into something that will cost you a bundle to get out of. Do not try as hard as you usually do to get attention today as the attention that you get may not be all that good. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You take a more active role in your groups activities and emerge the natural leader of the pack. Try not to get involved in anyone's disputes today even if it is only as a judge or a peacemaker as it could backfire and both sides will turn against you. A restaurant seems the logical choice for dinner.

July 1, 2000 CANADA DAY Gemini (May 22-June 21) Saturday July 1, 2000 "Time spent laughing is time spent with the gods."--Japanese proverb Today, the moon is in the sign of Cancer. You're in the third day of your new 28-day energy cycle, Gemini. It's Saturday, Gemini, and now is a good time for you to take a serious look at your financial and economic situation. Do an inventory of your assets, talents, and resources. If you think you're not getting a good enough return on the time and energy you're investing in someone or something, now's the time to reevaluate the whole situation. If your finances are out of order, today's the day to put yourself on a budget. If you need to discuss a financial matter with a family member or friend, do it today. Now is also a great time to hear some new and interesting ideas about making some extra money on the side. Keep your ears open and your antennae up! (antennae up!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Saturday July 1, 2000 Today, the Sun and Moon are both passing through the Sign of Cancer. This means you're beginning a new four-week energy cycle. It's time for your body, soul, and mind to go through their monthly recharging process. The little kid in you, the you who wants to feel free, safe, and secure will be trying hard to get your attention today. Listen to your feelings. The way you relate with others reflects how you're relating to the little kid in yourself. If you don't feel very energetic today, it's because you're recharging. Go slow. Keep a low profile. Don't push yourself. You need the time and space it takes for your battery to recharge. You're due to feel the first burst of your new energy one week from now, on July 7. (My little kid self will see your little kid self in a week...!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Saturday July 1, 2000 Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions." - Anonymous (You're currently in the third week of your energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Cancer, a sensitive, impressionable Sign that is usually difficult for Sagittarius to understand. When the Moon passes through Cancer, something comes over you. For some strange reason, you're drawn to intense, powerful people who have a strong effect on you. It may be only a momentary thing. Sometimes it will be more intense. Be aware that your emotional and sexual needs are demanding more attention than usual now. Financial issues also arise at this time. It's time to get your debts in order. Today is also a good time to work on self-healing efforts, whether your concern is physical, emotional, or spiritual. Have a healing experience!

At least I'm not starting a new energy cycle as these things always tell me! Good advice!

I can't tell when mine start and end - perhaps they indulge in psychology on the side? The Power of Positive Thinking?

July 2, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Sunday July 2, 2000 "Everyone is entitled to my opinion."--funny bumper sticker You started a new 28-day energy cycle on June 29. Today, the moon is in the sign of Cancer, Gemini. Today, let's catch up on what Venus is doing in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the "magnetic," pleasure-loving and profit-seeking side of your personality. The task of your Venus side is to attract whatever you love and desire. Consider this: Since June 16, Venus has been passing through Cancer, a water sign that ruffles Gemini's feathers. This means that since June 16 your chances for attracting what you want have been less than 50/50. You've probably been getting a less-than-expected return on the time, money, and energy you've spent since then. Venus stays in Cancer until July 13. Don't worry, Gemini! Wait 'til the period of July 13-August 5 when Lady Luck will once again be knocking at your door. (Oh no... another set of hormonals coming my way?!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Sunday July 2, 2000 "Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time; sometimes, you weep." Anonymous Yesterday you began a new 28-day energy cycle. Today, the Moon is still in the Sign of Cancer. Soul alert! Lately, a bunch of planets have been passing through the Sign of Cancer. Cancer symbolizes our basic, elementary need for self-esteem. So, Cancer, what needs to happen for you to feel good about yourself? Be willing to look and see if you're being a good parent for the little child inside yourself. Are you feeding your little kid the daily quota of nurturance and support it depends on you to provide? Honestly ask yourself: "How good am I willing to feel about myself?" (I can help, if you'd like!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sunday July 2, 2000 Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "Unfortunately, for many people, religion is a defense against the experience of God." - Dr. Carl Jung Let's catch up on what Venus is doing in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the "magnetic" side of your personality. It's your pleasure-loving and profit-seeking side. Whether you call it "lady luck," your "charisma," or charm, your Venus side attracts whatever you love and desire. Consider this: Since June 16, Venus has been passing through Cancer, a Water Sign that usually dampens your Sagittarian high spirits. Water and Fire create steam. This means that, since June 16, your chances for attracting what you want have been less than 50/50. You've probably been getting a less-than-expected return on the time, money and energy you've spent since then. Venus stays in Cancer until July 13. So, Sagittarius, if you've been plagued by the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune since June 16, take heart. Your luck changes and your charm will work better during July 13-August 5. That's when Venus passes through Leo, one of your fellow Fire Signs, and, once again, it will be a safer bet for you to count on luck. (oh my......)

July 3, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn This is the day to give one last tug to those ties that are holding you back, and they will drop away like magic. If you've been feeling 'left out in the cold' in any areas, today you will see your way clear to move towards warmth and comfort. Take advantage of your 'empowerment'. A great day to 'break free'! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Slow down if you're going too fast, because you may find you've been running in circles. Adjust your course and you'll start getting somewhere! You may feel the effect of Mercury retrograde today - meaning some minor problems with communications, transportation and electronic equipment. Put it down to what it is - weird energy! AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra It's the perfect day to spend a little quality time with your SELF if you can. Even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to 'get away', it will do you a world of good. Still your mind. Some quiet contemplation could bring on a flash of genius! A person born in September may say something worth listening to today. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A great day to take matters unto your own hands, and with steady purpose, to succeed at your task. Don't be surprised if you find yourself receiving some award or recognition today - you deserve it!

oh that's weird (gemini), my dad was born in september. haven't heard a peep from him, but the day's not over yet.

Not sure about what month the guy I spent the day in IM with was born. I have to ask. He has a way of ignoring questions he does not want to answer...

July 4, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Tuesday July 4, 2000 "I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory."--T-shirt wisdom You're currently ending the first week of your energy cycle. Today, the moon is in Leo, a fun-loving, spontaneous sign that's sympatico with funny and light-hearted Gemini. When the moon passes through Leo each month, it's usually a busy time for you. Generally, it's a good time for communications. Catch up on your e-mail and phone calls. It's a time for giving or attending talks, presentations, etc. Today' s a good day to get in touch with your relatives or neighbors and catch up on the gossip. (more of the same, in other words) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Tuesday July 4, 2000 "No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person." Willa Cather The Moon is in the Sign of Leo today. Currently, you're in the first week of your 28-day energy cycle. Today, let's catch up on what Venus is doing in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the 'magnetic' side of your personality. It's your pleasure-loving and profit-seeking side. Call it 'lady luck' or 'charisma', your Venus side attracts whatever you love and desire. Consider this: since June 16, Venus has been passing through your Sign of Cancer. Let's hope the planet of love and money has been good to you. Venus stays in Cancer until July 13. This means that, during this timeframe, your chances for attracting what you want are better than 50/50. You get a better return on the time, money and energy you spend to get what you want and value. However, the opposite will be true during July 13 -- August 5, when Venus passes through Leo. Don't plan to count on your luck during that period. Do your best between now and July 13. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Tuesday July 4, 2000 Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." - Gandhi Soul Alert! Lately, a bunch of planets have been passing through the Sign of Cancer. Cancer symbolizes our basic, elementary need for Self-Esteem. So, Sagittarius, what do you need to be doing to feel better about yourself? Be willing to LOOK and SEE if you're being a good parent for the little child inside yourself. Are you feeding your little kid the daily quota of excitement, adventure, and meaning that it depends on you to provide? Honestly ask yourself: "How good am I willing to feel about myself?"

July 5, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn If you are not living up to your full potential, it will become apparent today. This does not necessarily mean you need to WORK harder, but perhaps to put more of your SELF into what you do. Half-formed dreams are not likely to come true, so apply yourself a little more to your hopes, and make use of all your talents. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may find yourself 'getting away with something' today, but you'll have to be quick and clever about it! At the same time, watch your back and keep an eye on what's important to you, as others might be playing the same game with you! AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Everything is beautiful today - and love is all around. Spend some time with that special someone, and don't hold back. If you are single, keep your eyes open for that special person today. A walk in the park or somewhere in nature will delight your spirit. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Today and tomorrow may find you at a bit of a of disadvantage when it comes to defending yourself against 'attack'. A verbal attack or even a physical blow could come out of left field and catch you off guard. Avoid confrontations wherever possible - you'll be glad you did.

July 5, 2000 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Wednesday July 5, 2000 "The thing that impresses me the most about America is the way parents obey their children."-- King Edward VIII The Moon is passing through Virgo, a Sign that is congenial with Cancer. This means that today it will be easier for you to be 'in the zone' as you do your work and deal with others. You're still in the first week of your new energy cycle. Tell yourself what you want to accomplish between now and July 28. Your energy is still building. Get ready for the first burst of your new energy two days from now, on July 7. Do something constructive today. Take advantage of any opportunity that's staring you in the face. In general, the Stars are right for things to go your way today. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Wednesday July 5, 2000 Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable." - Andre Gide The Moon is passing through Virgo, a Sign that clashes with Sagittarius. You're in the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you started back on June 15. You've reached your last Turning Point. You're due to experience one final burst of the physical and emotional energy you've been releasing for the past week. Your goal or intention for your current energy cycle is now going through its final test. If things are going your way today, you'll be free to experience your burst of physical and emotional energy any way you please. If things aren't going your way, don't be hard on yourself. Ask the little kid in you for forgiveness if you haven't been a good parent lately. Don't give up on yourself. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Wednesday July 5, 2000 "Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it."--funny bumper sticker The moon is passing through Virgo, a sign that usually takes the wind out of Gemini's sails. You've reached the first turning point in the new energy cycle you started last Thursday. You're feeling the first burst of the physical and emotional energy that's been building up since then. If everything's going fine in your life now, your burst of physical, emotional, and mental energy should be fun. If things aren't going so hot for you today, maybe it's time for you to reinforce your intention. What do you want to happen during this energy cycle? Renew your will to DO what's good for you. Take time to deal with the little problems that come up now. Don't give up. And don't forget to b-r-e-a-t-h-e! (July 4th was terrible - hope I never have another day like this one!)

July 5, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today you are left with mixed feelings toward someone that you had placed your entire trust in only to find out this person is not only far from ethical, he/she is also far from caring about the unethical things they are doing. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Being bull headed and hard to get along with today may bring you more trouble than you truly want to deal with right now. Try to lighten up and give the others some breathing room; believe it or not they are capable of doing their assigned jobs. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Don't be wishy washy today whether it comes to business decisions or decisions about your love affair. If you make a firm decision don't let it turn to quicksand and swallow up your formerly strong resolve. CANCER (June 22-July 22) After a day spent in disappointing search for a new place to live you are beat. Just as you are ready to give up and call it a day you find just the right place at just the right price so the lease is signed on the spot. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A new friend walks into your life today and if you are single, he or she continues right on into your heart. This is the one that should make all your dreams of a home and family come true. On other fronts the news is good, especially about a job change. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Day trading can get out of hand and keep you glued to that monitor all day every day with no exercise break, (I mean more exercise than just walking to the fridge!). A hot new money making idea may have others running with the prover- bial ball to a touchdown. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Children have a way of growing up when you least expect it, look around and they are grown. You still can't beleive that your youngest is getting married, but paste a smile on your face and get along with the intended...this way you see more of the grand kids when they come along. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A break in the weather has you headed for the great outdoors. It may not be any further than the yard but you can soak up some sunshine while clearing away the winter debris and plan- ning where you will put your spring garden. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Paying a teenager out of trouble is never wise as there is no way left to teach them that what they did was wrong, and that they must learn from their mistakes in order to have any mean- ing to their lives. Tough love really does help. CAPRICORN Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Taking your work home with you is getting old to the family as they know that it is not necessary to keep your job. Leave it at work and give your family the time, love, and understanding that you implied when you said I do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) An estranged parent still has fond memories of a childhood of happy laughter. Getting in touch with that person would be a worthwhile and loving thing to do. You would never regret it. Your own child has shown you how hurtful certain things can be. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Being a partial fire sign, if you are born on the cusp, could give you some mixed up feelings today as you feel that you should be conservative about a certain thing but your fire side wants to chuck caution to the winds and just go for it.

July 6, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A lost love or maybe a returning member of the family brings you great happiness today as it gives you a chance to clear up some long standing ill feelings you have had in the past. You are older now and more likely to forgive. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your new friend is a Aries and you can be sure that this person has your own best interests at heart and helps you overcome the damage done by a Sagittarius. Those who are married must be careful not to put anything above the family except God. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Before you take that final step think how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and that person may not seem quite so sexy to you. Children don't miss much, watch your conversation around them. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You have a bet on about who has more technical knowledge about certain things and you, instead of bragging, go get some books and start to learn in private, in this way you are sure to win the bet. Don't let well meaning friends know too many details about your new romantic interest. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Angry with someone? Why waste your time and energy? If you truly want to get someone's goat just go on about your daily business with a smile on your face and they will hardly be able to believe that your day has not been spoiled by them, or by your anger at them. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A good way to find a new love is to go to as many outings as possible, also signing up for classes will also result in meeting interesting people. Married people out there will find they are getting along pretty well financially. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you review what you have accomplished in the last few weeks and to your judgmental eye it is not quite up to the standards that you have set, so you start the tedious task of overhaul. Your final efforts promise to be outstanding and will make quite an impact. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You may feel that you have found your love on the rebound and he or she could not care as much for you as you would like, you are very wrong on that score as this person harbors no love for the 'other' one and you have actually found a pearl of rare price. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your actions may seem strange to some people you know, but those that know you understand perfectly, and if you per- sist you will emerge the victor, but will what you win be really worth the effort you have made to get it? CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) While the norm is to make a decision and stick with it, which you almost always do, that is not recommended today as changing your mind this afternoon could save the day for everyone involved. Don't stick your neck out or walk out on a limb today as someone could be waiting with a new saw. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You are in for an inheritance and while it is a sad occasion, you find that you are most grateful for the thoughtfulness of the person who provided for you. Never let a day go by with- out telling those near and dear to you how you feel. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today you may meet some obstacles that are tossed in your romantic path but you will find them easy to overcome as you turn on the charm. You may find a latent talent makes itself manifest today and surprise everyone and yourself most of all. Make the most of it.

July 6, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn It is very true that the more you give, the more you get, so watch out for any stinginess of spirit, emotions, or for putting too much value on material goods. If someone owes you, you may not get it back, so maybe today is a good day to let go of expectations in this regard. Many blessings will return to you if you demonstrate true generosity. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Someone might be trying to pull the wool over your eyes, so make sure everything is 'on the table' before you make any important decisions. The hand is sometimes quicker than the eye, so don't trust something for its appearance. That goes for trusting people too. On another note - if you are hesitating to show your best side, how do you expect others to see the best in you? AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra There may be a fly in the ointment today - no matter how well you've planned things out, a party-pooper may want to spoil the mood. It's up to you whether you make a big deal out of it or not. Minor annoyances may well blow over with the wind. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces If you've been 'making a stand' on a certain issue, you may find the ground slipping away a little from underneath you. It is probably best not to engage in a head-on confrontation today. A better approach is to quietly make plans and set them in motion when the environment is more promising.

July 7, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Family finances or domestic problems are possible today. In fact, a skeleton may pop out of the family closet and say BOO! Restructuring and an ability to 'hold the fort down' are highlighted. A good day to give some thought to home security. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You are the king or queen of all you survey today. Nature is working hand in hand with your desires - so maybe it's time to honour nature with a special gesture today. A great day to call your Mom or other maternal figure in your life and say "I love you". AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You may visit or contact someone in the hospital or someone who is convalescing today. Your quiet words of encouragement will mean a lot. You may have a special urge to pray or meditate today - the quiet contemplation will refresh your soul. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A new opportunity or a helping hand may appear today from an unexpected source. Welcome it, but don't neglect the projects or assets which you have already built up. They are truly blessings and as valuable as the new gifts or ventures which enter the picture.

July 7, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Dilemma Solved--"When you come to the fork in the road, take it." You're currently in the second week of your energy cycle, Gemini. Today, the moon is in Libra, a pleasant, sociable air sign, just like Gemini. Each month, when the moon passes through Libra, it's recreation time for you. Today, do something pleasurable, romantic, or creative. Let the little kid in you come out to play. It's a good time to work up a sweat and give your heart some good exercise. When the moon passes through Libra each month, make it a point to schedule some time to hang out and have fun with some of your best friends. Today, try to not get so wrapped up in your own feelings that you can't think straight. (This is so true it is spooky! Anyone care to join me??) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "The reason grandparents and grandchildren get along so well is that they have a common enemy."-- Sam Levenson The Moon is passing through Libra, a Sign that is not in harmony with Cancer. You've reached the first turning point in the new energy cycle you started one week ago. You're feeling the first burst of the physical and emotional energy that's been building up since your new cycle began. If everything's going fine in your life now, you'll feel free to use your bursts of physical, emotional, and mental energy any way you want. If you feel that things aren't going your way today, it's time to reinforce your intention. What do you want to happen during this energy cycle? Renew your will to do what's good for you. Take time to deal with the little problems that come up now. Don't give up. (Come play with my inner child???!!!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory." - William Hazlitt The Moon is passing through Libra, a Sign that is congenial with Sagittarius. This means that, in general, you'll be easier to get along with today. You'll be feeling more at ease with the little kid in you. You're passing through the fourth and final week of your current energy cycle. It's high time to follow up on any promising new contacts you've made in the past three weeks. It's also time to "get over it and get on with it" if the past three weeks have been frustrating and unfruitful for you. You'll be starting a new four-week energy cycle on July 12. Between now and then, count your blessings, cut your losses, and get your surfboard ready for the new wave of energy that's already coming your way. (You could stand to play some, too!)

(Do you want to be teacher again, or shall I? Sitting on the steps waiting for you ..... Oh and I've brought my skipping rope *giggle*)

We can trade being teacher...depending on the subject *grin* Have chalk for hop scotch and my pink rubber ball...

June 8, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): You feel as if you have to have to act to correct matters, but you do it on your own without consulting anyone. It's difficult, but let people know what you intend, and accept feedback on its advisability. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You're full of grandiose ideas today, but you should scale them down in order to make them work. You think in terms of unquestioned success, but taking the risk into account should make you hedge your bets. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you haven't gotten your spending under control yet, this is your last chance. Many temptations arise today, and you're particularly open to advertising schemes to make you think that you're needy. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Prepare your day with meditation first. With a clear mind, set your priorities for the day. You need solid intentions in order to face the onslaught of demands and distractions. Seek to be of service. LEO (July 23-August 22): All-out effort can result in having no reserves left. Seek a middle ground of minimally effective effort backed with enthusiasm. Trying too hard creates tension with others. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): You want to succeed in a big and flashy way today. You could be putting undeserved emphasis on style over substance. You also tend to act as if you've achieved your objectives before you're finished. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): Your lessons on being in charge are not completely learned. Be careful exercising your authority, because it can go to your head. Seek to direct through as little effort as necessary. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): It's time to be more concerned with your own ethics rather than trying to dictate them to others. Concentrate on what you can do to make things run right. Trying to control others is the wrong approach. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): Conflicts with your spouse or close business associate can arise over the household expenditures. Extravagance is a legitimate concern. Work toward agreeing on controlling spending. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): You put more importance on show over substance. You may have to resort to making an impression, but be sure you can back it up if pressed. You need competition in order to push yourself harder. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): Strive for moderation when you amuse yourself today. Over-indulgences and excesses work against both your health and money reserves. Don't waste yourself when you could be uplifting others. PISCES (February 19-March 20): Put your faith in your own efforts today, not in blind luck. Windfalls are unlikely, and expected good fortune probably won't pan out. Create your own luck; become worthy of respect; don't expect handouts.

there goes the new car dreams i had *grin*

They got the wrong Gemini - that sound like the resident Taurus...

July 8, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Currently, you're in the second week of your 28-day energy cycle. The moon is in the sign of Libra. Today, let's see what's going on between you and Mercury. Astrologically, the planet Mercury is associated with Gemini. Mercury symbolizes your thinking side. It plays the role of the communicator in your personality. During the nine-week period from May 30 to August 7, Mercury is passing through Cancer, a sign that is usually not on your Gemini wavelength. The overall quality of your thinking and communicating with others will not be up to par during the period. Don't waste time playing silly mind games. Make your point and let it go at that. To make things worse, "Murphy's Law" ("If something can go wrong, it will") is in effect during June 23-July 17. Usually, things done during Murphy's Law have to be redone later. If possible, don't do anything new or different until July 18. 'Til then, only do things that begin with "re-" (rearrange, renegotiate, review, return, etc.). Communications will go better for you when Mercury passes through Leo during August 7-22. (Recreate??) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "When I was kidnapped, my parents snapped into action. They rented out my room."-- Woody Allen You've just begun the second week of your energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in Libra, a social, political Sign that conflicts with Cancer. When the Moon passes through this Sign each month, it would be good for you to pay more attention to your diet and to your living space. If you haven't been eating right lately, promise yourself today that you'll do better. Have you been neglecting your home or apartment? Put some energy into making your home a warm, nurturing, clean place to be. If you feel like it, do some re-decorating. Does your living space seem drab or boring? Rearrange your furniture. Do some serious cleaning. It's a good time of the month for you to renew family ties. Call home, just to say "Hi" and "How are you?" Fix your favorite meal and invite people you care about to come and share it with you. (Hasn't eaten right ever...just makes sure every one else does) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding." - Gen. Douglas MacArthur (You're still in the final week of your 28-day energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Libra, a friendly, outgoing Sign that gets along great with Sagittarius. During this time each month, it's good for you to connect with friends or groups with whom you have a close or emotional connection. Call a friend who is going through a rough time now and could use some support. Or, maybe you're the one in need and could use a friend today. Call the first friend who comes to mind as you read this. Don't be surprised if both of you are very glad you reached out and got in touch. Renew ties with nutritious friends. If you need help from a group or organization to which you belong, today is a good time to make contact. (OK, who needs the phone call - I am close to 3 Sagittari)

July 9, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) "The 2 rules for success: 1. Never tell all you know."--bumper sticker wisdom You're currently ending the second week of your energy cycle. Today, the moon is in Scorpio, a mysterious, enigmatic sign, the depths of which Gemini usually can't fathom. Today, little things will mean a lot more than usual. The best way to get the most mileage out of your time today is to put your nose to the grindstone and work hard. Mind your own business today and you can avoid the petty jealousies, ego conflicts, and unsettling work conditions you usually experience when the moon passes through Scorpio each month. Don't let emotional stress aggravate any health concern. Devote some time today to improve your health or nutrition. Exercise. And, for goodness sake, don't forget to B-R-E-A-T-H-E. (if I get in any deeper...) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either." Dick Cavett Today the Moon is passing through Scorpio, a Water Sign just like Cancer. Normally, this is a pleasant time for you. You're in the second week of the cycle you began on July 1. At this stage of your monthly cycle, the relationship between you and the little kid in you is usually pretty good. You're able to relate to people more easily now. You feel better about yourself than you were feeling three to four days ago. Your efforts to make things happen will meet with less resistance now. Obviously this is a good time for furthering your cause. Your relations with the opposite sex are better now. Your energy level is due to reach its peak in four to five days. Take advantage of every opportunity to create a peak experience for yourself. (*big sigh*) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding." - Charles Schulz (You're in the final days of your 28-day energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Scorpio, the Sign that comes right before Sagittarius in the Zodiac. This means that you'll be starting a new energy cycle soon. But not yet. This is the time to go within yourself and sort things out. You'll feel tempted to withdraw and go into your cocoon. Make it OK to take a short retreat, to rest, be quiet, and figure out what's going on in your life. During this end-time period in your energy cycle, ask yourself: "What is it, right now, that I need to forgive myself for?" Call upon your Higher Power to help you rise above the desire to shame and blame others for your problems.

WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A father figure in your life is going to be laying down some rules that others don't like. Don't get caught up in the gossip.

July 10, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A few good ideas from a friend who has been keeping an eye on your home based business, may be just what you have been look- ing for.

This is not a good day to lend money as you may never see it again. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This is your day for inspiration and creativity as your ability to express yourself is at its optimum today. Talk- ing with financial managers and partners are also favored at this time. A family conference is called and you put your two cents worth in.

Domestic activity should be of great interest to you tonight as your spouse may have quite a surprise for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) While your mind is forced to deal with basics today your heart is filled with love. A long running domestic dispute has you worried but you act in a practical manner in making up with your spouse. Express the love if you hope to win this one.

You will find it easy today to finish out plans and agreements you have been involved in; and even the children are acting like angels.

July 10, 2000 - Geo's Birthday Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"I plan on living forever. So far, so good You're in the second week of your 28-day energy cycle. The moon is passing through Scorpio today. Astrologically, the sun is the symbol for your willpower. It represents your ability to make things go your way. During June 21-July 21, the sun passes through Cancer, a water sign. Gemini is an air sign. Like water and air, Cancer and Gemini don't easily mix. Every year, while the sun is in Cancer, your willpower is less focused. You have to try harder and be more patient. Other things in your horoscope might compensate for this. If, however, your past experience shows that June 21-July 21 is not usually a good time for you, plan accordingly. Don't start things or do anything you can put off until the sun passes through Leo (July 22-August 21). (Hmmm...and to think we created Geo using a Gemini and a Cancer to do it) Cancer (June 22-July 22) "Cancer Quote of the Day: Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore."--Ogden Nash You're currently in the second week of your energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in Scorpio, a sensitive, introverted Sign, just like Cancer. Each month, when the Moon passes through this Sign, it's time for you to let the little kid inside you out to play and have some fun. Today, do something pleasurable, romantic or creative. Do something you really love to do. It's a good time to work up a sweat and give your heart some good exercise. Make it a point to schedule some time for your favorite leisurely activities or hobbies. Today, try not to get so wrapped up in your own feelings that you become unaware of the feelings of people around you. (ready when you are!) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "A better world shall emerge based on faith and understanding." - Charles Schulz (You're in the final days of your 28-day energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Scorpio, the Sign that comes right before Sagittarius in the Zodiac. This means that you'll be starting a new energy cycle soon. But not yet. This is the time to go within yourself and sort things out. You'll feel tempted to withdraw and go into your cocoon. Make it OK to take a short retreat, to rest, be quiet, and figure out what's going on in your life. During this end-time period in your energy cycle, ask yourself: "What is it, right now, that I need to forgive myself for?" Call upon your Higher Power to help you rise above the desire to shame and blame others for your problems.

July 11, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Children need your love badly today as they get into what you would term 'kid trouble' but never-the-less world shaking to them. All the signs are right for a lucky change today so be on the alert for good things coming your way. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A friend, who may be in a dilemma may need your help and under- standing. Be patient and wait for what you really want...it will be all the more sweeter for the delay. Life is short, and you should live it one day at a time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Visiting relatives will bring good news and happiness to you. Today you will be called upon to help someone you have often felt antagonistic toward. This could be a spiritual test for you and how you meet it will show the true spirit within. CANCER (June 22-July 22) A new friend is not the kind of person you need in your life right now and you finally wise up and show this person the road. Friends introduce you to someone you can really get to know, perhaps for the rest of your life. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The going is tough for a while today but you manage to con- vince your spouse that you will always play it straight and you are forgiven. Be sure you keep that promise. Honesty is always the best policy as you will find out today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Tou may experience some sadness early in the day but you manage to get through it with some supposrt from others. You exert your natural will power and stay upbeat. A friend will be arriving today and you are overjoyed. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Having helped a loved one this far don't just walk away and expect her to run everything on her own. It doesn't work that way! You wouldn't put an infant in an airplane and ex- pect it to fly, would you? So, get in there and teach this person the steps to success. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Before you condemn someone first try to take a look inside your self, maybe it isn't them at all but really yourself that you are upset with. Had a checkup lately? It should be nothing serious but you should see to it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) An opportunity to make a shrewd investment are presented to you today. Take time to investigate just to be sure it is sound reasoning behind it. If you are not already in business for yourself you are thinking about it and the opportunity could be finding the right partner.

If you don't retaliate, you'll get a quick apology and you'll be able to put this silly argument behind you. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Someone will find he had the wrong ideas about you at work. Don't be surprised if this person acts totally different towards you and gives you new responsibility. You've proven yourself to be capable of handling the task with great success. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra All the pieces have finally come together to make your business plan a solid one. Though you may be scared to ask for help, find the courage to make your request. Roll up your sleeves, you're going to be elbow deep in work soon! WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A new addition to the family will bring lots of joy today. You'll have the opportunity to get together with loved one to celebrate. Make sure you go home early, you still have to get up for work tomorrow even if others don't.

July 11, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"If there were no hypothetical questions, what would this say?" Gemini, today, you're at the halfway point of your energy cycle. The wave of energy released two weeks ago will reach its maximum strength tomorrow. Today is the time to make last minute changes in your plans, to get your house in order, and to prepare for opportunities or breakthroughs. At this point, it is your attitude, more than anything else, that will determine what will happen tomorrow. (My admirers are very low key today...) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children."-- Clarence Darrow The Moon is passing through Scorpio today. Currently, you're in the second week of your 28-day energy cycle. Astrologically, the Sun is the symbol for your will power. It represents your ability to make things go your way. Every year, during June 21-July 21, the Sun passes through your birth Sign of Cancer. You're "in season." Generally, you're more in touch with your own feelings and needs during this period. You have better than a 50/50 chance of making things go your way. Of course, other things in your horoscope could counter-indicate this in your case. If, however, past experience shows that June 21-July 21 is usually a good time for you, plan accordingly each year. Do things you enjoy. You lose your winning edge when the Sun passes through Leo (July 22-August 21). Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "The first half of our lives is ruined by our parents, and the second half by our children."-- Clarence Darrow The Moon is passing through Scorpio today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." - Oprah Winfrey (Currently, you're in the final days of your current 28-day energy cycle. The Moon is passing through Scorpio today.) Astrologically, the SUN is the symbol for your WILL POWER. It represents your ability to make things go your way. During June 21-July 21, the Sun passes through Cancer, a Water Sign. Sagittarius is a Fire Sign. Like Water and Fire, Cancer and Sagittarius don't interact well together. Every year, while the Sun is in Cancer, your will power is less focused. Your enthusiasm is not as great. You have to try harder and be more patient. Other things in your horoscope might compensate for this. If, however, your past experience shows that June 21-July 21 is not usually a good time for you, plan accordingly. Don't start things or do anything you can put off until the Sun passes through Leo (July 22-August 21).

July 12, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This should be a very happy day with family and friends for most of you Aries folks out there. Although Aries does not have a very great sense of humor, you all have a great sense of fun, and that is why so many people like you on first sight. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You didn't really expect it but a boost in income is coming your way today. A social affair with friends and family goes well, even the ones you barely get along with most of the time. Children will be extra good for you today. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Have a few friends in for dinner and show off your cooking skills. Not just the women, the men too make excellent cooks, trained or not! Someone that you would rather not have as a guest shows up for dinner with a friend and you do the gracious thing. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Working for a living is not strange for you, so you may be the one asked to work on your day off. The worry you had about finances has cleared up and you now see that placing your trust in God is the only way to go. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Arguing about where to go for your evening out shows only one thing: someone is desperate for something to argue about! Early today you may feel like losing it with a coworker but you talk instead and as you draw this person out your anger turns to pity. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This will be a hard day at work as you try to catch up on some things that has become backlogged on you. Try dele- gating some of the responsibility to others and it will ease your task. Your home based business or your web page may be taking up too much of your time and the time of choice is here? LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Ever see an angel? Today is just right for it as God was never so close to your heart as now. When loving and giv- ing is so close to every ones heart an angel encounter may not seem like much of a test but look for times when you feel downright mean, that is when it is likely to happen to you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A few problems at work today but you will quickly get them taken care of. Stay out of quarrels as someone may try to get you in on their side and you have always known better than to take sides, this refusal to agree may cause a rift with a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today may find you suffering from some kind of ailment, perhaps a sprained ankle, that keeps you from doing most of the things you usually do every day. The family pitchs in to help you cope and saves your day from being dreary. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A current love may be leading you on and this will show up today when someone lets the cat out of the bag. You are not too concerned as it only confirmed your suspicions. Today at work is not all that you have wished for but at least you managed to get the finance dept. straight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Your lament today is: everyone gets a day off but me, cheer up, unless there is a change in attitude you may have quite a few days off, a good friend clues you in and you change your attitude. Friends and family draw closer to you today. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You run the chance of catching a bad cold if you do not take care of your health and keep up your vitamin regimen that you may have let slip. Don't get excited today as a friend becomes angry with someone that you hold dear; they are grown people and can work it out.

July 12, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once." The moon is passing through Sagittarius, the sign that is the opposite of Gemini. This means that you've reached the halfway point in your monthly energy cycle. For the next two weeks, you'll be releasing the physical and emotional energy that started to build up inside when your new cycle began two weeks ago. If things are going well for you now, great! You'll experience your burst of energy in good and positive ways. If you're not doing well now, don't make it worse by trying to force things to happen. Notice how you're tempted to project the cause of your frustration and unhappiness out onto those around you. Individuals with whom you are at odds now are mirroring back to you something you cannot see in yourself. During these next two weeks, follow up on and finish what you started two weeks ago. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "The best inheritance a parent can give to his children is a few minutes of time each day."-- M. Grundler You're currently ending the second week of your energy cycle.Today, the Moon is in Sagittarius, a somewhat extravagant, flamboyant Sign with which Cancer usually can't get along without making a lot of adjustments. Today, little things will mean a lot more than usual. The best way to get the most mileage out of your time today is to put your nose to the grindstone and work hard. Mind your own business today and you can avoid the petty ego conflicts and unsettling work conditions you usually experience at this time each month. Don't let emotional stress aggravate any health concern. Devote some time today to improve your health or nutrition. Exercise. See a health professional. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." - Dalai Lama The Moon is passing through the Sign of Sagittarius. This means that today you're beginning a new four-week energy cycle. It's time for your body, soul and mind to go through their monthly RECHARGING process. The little kid in you - the you who wants to feel enthusiastic and excited about something - will be trying hard to get your attention today. Listen to your FEELINGS. The way you relate with others reflects how you're relating to the little kid in yourself. If you don't feel very energetic today, it's because you're recharging. Go slow. Keep a low profile. Don't push yourself. You need the time and space it takes for your battery to recharge. You're due to feel the first burst of your new energy one week from now, on July 19.

July 12, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You're going to have to make a decision today about finances. Don't be influenced by others' thoughts. Take this new opportunity in front of you.

Call your family to tell them the happy news - they've been pulling for you all along. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra While you have an opportunity to enter in a new partnership, be cautious. Read the fine print of any agreement that is presented to you. If you still sign on the dotted line, at least you'll know exactly what you're getting yourself into. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Attention from a Libra today will surprise you. While you haven't been able to figure out whether your relationship is platonic or turning romantic, you'll get a clear sign today. Work on getting to know each other better, this could be a significant relationship in your life.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) If you are single, today you will find a new lover in your life and this is the one person you will grow to love and trust enough to tie the knot of matrimony with. If you are married then you and your spouse will experience a new closeness. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) The inability to make up your mind today may work against you as a certain someone is getting tired of waiting for a positive move from you.

New Business ideas will be found when you finally learn to relax and just let the force flow through you. You are highly psychic and may not yet know it.

what? and where was he? (gemini)

july 13 Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "You white people are so strange. We think it is very primitive for a child to have only two parents." Australian Aborigine Elder (The Moon is in Sagittarius. You're ending the first half of your 28-day energy cycle.) Today, let's catch up on what the planet Venus is doing in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the 'magnetic,' pleasure-loving and profit-seeking side of your personality. The function of your Venus side is to attract to you whatever your heart desires. From June 16 till yesterday, July 12, Venus was passing through Cancer. Hey, that's your Sign. This means that, back then, your chances for attracting what you loved and desired were better than 50/50. The opposite will be true during July 13-August 5 while Venus passes through Leo. You won't have your edge. Luck will be less on your side. But, don't feel bad, Cancer! Your charm will return during August 6-30 when Venus passes through Virgo, an Earth Sign that helps Cancer get it together. Between now and August 5, don't waste your time, money, or energy on people or things that you really don't value. And, don't use or confuse money for love. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"Eve was framed." Yesterday, you entered the third week of your 28-day energy cycle. The moon is in Sagittarius. Today, let's catch up on what Venus is up to in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the "magnetic" side of your personality. It's your pleasure-loving and profit-seeking side. Whether you call it "Lady Luck," your "charisma" or your "wits," the function of your Venus side is to attract to you the things you love and desire. From June 16 'til yesterday, Venus was passing through Cancer, a sign that Geminis find it hard to get a laugh from. Back then, your charm wasn't working. Your timing was bad. Your chances for attracting what you wanted were less than 50/50. Your wait is over, Gemini. Today, your luck is due to change. From July 13 to August 5, you'll have your edge again. Venus will be passing through Leo. You'll regain your charm and wit. You'll get a better return on the song and dance routines you've got to go through to get you what you want. (Watchout world! Here I come again )

July 13, Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers." - Charles Peguy Today, let's catch up on what Venus is doing in your horoscope. Venus symbolizes the "magnetic" side of your personality. It's your people-loving and pleasure-seeking side. Whether you call it your "lady luck" or "charisma," the function of your Venus side is to attract the things you love and desire. From June 16 until yesterday, July 12, Venus was passing through Cancer, a Sign that is difficult for Sagittarians to understand. Back then, your charm wasn't working. Your chances for attracting what you wanted were less than 50/50. Today, however, your luck is due to change. From July 13 to August 5, you'll have your edge again. Venus will be passing through Leo. Your charm and wit are back. You'll get a better return on the time, money, and energy you spend to get you what you want. Try not to go overboard.

oh boy!!!

June 14, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Ignore a 'good' deal that comes your way about today as it is not good and not for you. This is a good day to keep your head down and not take any chances with your finances. Try wearing some clear blues or greens to keep down your hot temper today. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A creative idea will get you off and running with the best idea you have ever had. Working out the details and the designs will get you well on your way to realizing your dream. Get as many people involved as you can, they will be a big help to you. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today you will see things and situations going your way for a change. Your increase in personal magnetism will play a big role and it makes people want to be near you. Don't let all the attention go to your head because acting egotistical is the quickest way to turn them off. CANCER (June 22-July 22) A new love interest will enter your life at this time and you find this person extremely attractive. If you are married this could spell the end to your home and family if you pursue the opportunity; steer clear of this pitfall. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Today you spend most of your time on your 'brain child' getting all the bugs and glitches ironed out; by days end you should have everything purring along. The family will understand your 'need for speed' and will give you all the space and privacy you require. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today you find yourself as the 'fair haired child' and can do absolutely no wrong; you will appear to have the midas touch but don't let it make you over confident and reckless for there is where the losses could filter back in and your luck go out the window. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you can talk to an elderly relative to seek inner strength and self control. If not a relative, then seek counseling by a professional. Others will find this an uneventful day, but now and then we need the peace and quiet of an unexcited world to get our head on straight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Work goes well for you today and you will soon see a raise in pay and position coming your way. If you have not replanted the house plants, this would be a good day to do this as you will have more luck with growing things than you normally do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your work day should go smoothly with no big problems to plague you. You find inspiration in littlethings today and your whole attitude makes you a good friend and a joy to be around. Don't lose this attitude as those around you are in need of the balm of your personality. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You are more of the leader than the one you have been following and you should be aware that to keep it up could be detrimental to your health and freedom. This is a good day to make plans for the rest of your life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Today Your plans will be changed but you will find that you really are happy to go along with the others' plans instead. Just relax and roll with the flow. Play your cards right and loads of good things are yours today. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Be aware that a person you used to know has not changed so it is best if you keep your distance! Let others run interference for you as you make, and keep, several social engagements that will keep you seperated.

(Oh dear, I'd better watch out. Stay offline or something ..... *grin*. Marcia, cover my back....need a minder)

Me? Cover yours? I thought you were going to keep ME out of trouble!!! July 14, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"The longest sentence known to man: 'I do.'" You're currently in the third week of your energy cycle. Today, the moon is in Capricorn, a serious, work-oriented sign that is usually no fun for Gemini. When the moon passes through Capricorn each month, something comes over you. For some strange reason, you're drawn to intense, powerful people who have a strong effect on you. It may be only a momentary thing. Sometimes it will be more intense. Be aware that your emotional and sexual needs are demanding more attention than usual now. Financial issues also arise at this time. It's time to get your debts in order. Today is also a good time to work on self-healing efforts, whether your concern is physical, emotional, or spiritual. Have a healing experience! (Oh yes, strong and powerful men especially - mentally!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "I don't visit my parents often because Delta Airlines won't wait in the yard while I run in."-- Margaret Smith The Moon is passing through Capricorn, the Sign that is the opposite of Cancer. This means you've reached the halfway point in your monthly energy cycle. For the next two weeks, you'll be releasing the physical and emotional energy that started to build up inside you when your new cycle began two weeks ago. If things are going well for you now, great! You'll experience your burst of energy in good and positive ways. If you're not doing well now, don't make it worse by trying to force things to happen. Notice how you're tempted to project the cause of your frustration and unhappiness out onto people around you. Individuals with whom you are at odds now are mirroring back to you something you cannot see in yourself. What is it within yourself that you feel too afraid of or too guilty about to express openly and outwardly? During these next two weeks, follow up on and finish what you started two weeks ago. (Talk to me!) Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Virgo Quote Of The Day: "Service ... Giving what you don't have to give. Giving when you don't need to give. Giving because you want to give." - Damien Hess Today the Moon is passing through Capricorn, an Earth Sign that is very much like Virgo. Normally, this is a pleasant time for you. You're in the second week of the cycle you began on July 5. At this stage of your monthly cycle, the relationship between you and the little kid in you is usually pretty good. You're able to relate to people more easily now. You feel better about yourself than you were feeling three or four days ago. Your efforts to make things happen will meet with less resistance now. Obviously this is a good time for furthering your cause. Your relations with the opposite sex are better now. Your energy level is due to reach its peak in our or five days. Take advantage of every opportunity to create a peak experience for yourself. (for a very special man, all I can say is "oh, yes!") Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Capricorn Quote Of The Day: "Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire."--Reggie Leach The moon is passing through the sign of Capricorn. This means that today you're beginning a new 4-week energy cycle. It's time for your body, soul, and mind to go through their monthly RECHARGING process. The little kid in you--the 'you' who wants to be recognized and acknowledged--will be trying hard to get your attention today. Listen. The way you relate with others reflects how you're relating to the little kid in yourself. If you don't feel very energetic today, it's because you're recharging. Go slow. Keep a low profile. Don't push yourself. You need the time and space it takes for your battery to recharge. You're due to feel the first burst of your new energy one week from today. (for another special guy...) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. - G.B. Shaw (You're still in the first week of your new energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Capricorn, a serious, work-oriented Sign with which Sagittarius is usually out of sync. When the Moon passes through Capricorn each month, pay serious attention to money concerns. Know where you stand with your monthly budget. Balance your checkbook. Pay your bills. Bring your accounts up to date. Put a lid on your spending. And, be alert to opportunities to pick up extra cash. (and for the resident Sagittarius...)

oh no, both my predictions came true (gemini). scary!

I got some serious work done today and piad some bills. Putting a lid on spending is hard but more necessary than ever with the focus on home fixup that I'm doing right now.

July 15, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"A day without sunshine is like, well, night." You're in the third week of your 28-day energy cycle. Today, the moon is in the sign of Capricorn. Let's see what Mars is currently doing in your horoscope. Whether you're male or female, the planet Mars symbolizes the assertive, aggressive and "masculine" side of your personality. On the average, Mars passes through one sign of the zodiac every six weeks. During the six-week period of June 16-July 31, Mars will be passing through Cancer, a sign that does not harmonize well with Gemini. This means that between now and August 1, people won't be as willing to buy your act and do your bidding. Whatever you try to do between now and August 1 might require more courage, confidence, and motivation than you can muster. If you can't wait 'til August 1 to do your thing, Gemini, then do your best to put some class and style into your act. (*sigh* This is the first time I heard I did not get on with Cancers...) Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Capricorn Quote Of The Day: "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."--Thomas Edison Yesterday you started a new 28 day energy cycle, Capricorn. Today, the moon is still in Capricorn. Your recharging process is still going on. You'll feel a bit more confident about putting yourself forward today. You're due to feel more outgoing, more like being around people. It's a good time to think about revamping your wardrobe or doing something about your hair. Pay more attention to your general appearance and manners now. Dress in colors that make you feel energetic. Do whatever will help to enhance the impression you're trying to make. Private folks like Capricorns are more outgoing every month when the moon passes through their own sign. (if this is true, why did I not hear from him today???) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "We live in an age when pizza gets to your home before the police."-- Jeff Marder You've recently begun the third week of your energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in Capricorn, the Sign that is the equal and opposite of Cancer. It's your "Shadow Sign." People you look to for a feeling of security or support are more important to you now than usual. This is the time for you to have a sharing experience to improve your personal connections. Today, pay special attention to your mate, partner or someone with whom you have a close intimate or business relationship. From your side of the relationship, do whatever you can to create a win-win situation for both of you. If you meet each other's emotional needs now, a new closeness may arise. Have a clearing session. Some unspoken conflicts may need airing. (wish it were last year.....) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself." - Sir Richard F. Burton (You're still in the first week of your 28-day energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in the Sign of Capricorn.) Sagittarians are supposed to be philosophical. Today's a good day to philosophize about your values. What do you value more than anything else? What is it that makes your life worth living? One thing that is extremely important for Sagittarians is to believe that life has a meaning and purpose. Today, be grateful for all the people in your life who make it possible for you to believe in yourself. Get religious about following your own bliss. There's a Full Moon tomorrow. Watch out for the "loonies." Maybe Spring is just tired of me....

July 15, 2000 - for two special people: Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Libra Quote of the Day: "One must marry one's feelings to one's beliefs and ideas. That is probably the only way to achieve a measure of harmony in one's life." Etty Hilsum (You've just begun the second week of your energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Capricorn, a serious, private Sign that conflicts with friendly sociable Libra. When the Moon passes through Capricorn each month, it would be good for you to pay more attention to your diet and to your living space. If you haven't been eating right lately, promise yourself today that you'll do better. Have you been neglecting your home or apartment? Put some energy into making your home a warm, nurturing, clean place to be. If you feel like it, do some re-decorating. Does your living space seem drab or boring? Rearrange your furniture. Do some serious cleaning. It's a good time of the month for you to renew family ties. Call home just to say "Hi" and "How Are You?" Fix your favorite meal and invite people you care about to come and share it with you. Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Virgo Quote Of The Day: "The service you do for others is the rent you pay for the time you spend on earth." - Mohammed Ali You're currently in the second week of your energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in Capricorn, a serious, hardworking Earth Sign, just like Virgo. Each month, when the Moon passes through Capricorn, it's time for you to let the little kid inside you out to play and have some fun. Today is Saturday, so take a break. Do something pleasurable, romantic or creative. Do something you really love to do. It's a good time to work up a sweat and give your heart some good exercise. Make it a point to schedule some time for your favorite leisurely activities or hobbies. Today, try not to get so wrapped up in your own feelings that you become unaware of the feelings of people around you.

July 15, 2000 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your challenge is to develop and project confidence in order to generate confidence in you by others. You are not owed cooperation; people must be given reasons to depart from their intentions for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You're challenged to be generous without depleting your reserves. You're challenged to make improvements in your living space without spending everything. Be sure you have enough for an emergency. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your desire to get along with people needs to be balanced with good sense. Don't allow undesirable people to come in and ruin your day. Filter them out and seek the kind of people you want in your life. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Guard against intellectual arrogance today. You're certain you're right, but if so it ought to be easy to demonstrate it. Expect to have to debate your position, and avoid pushing your opinion through. LEO (July 23-August 22): Your challenge is finding the right balance of personal responsibility and delegation of respons- ibility. You'll most likely work out these issues successfully in your circle of good friends. VIRGO (August 23-September 22): You're in a position where com- plete honesty would be counter-productive. You're often at the dividing line between omitting information and lying. Be mind- ful of whether harm comes from what you'd say. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): This is an ideal day for reach- ing to people who share your spiritual interests. If you don't make this effort, less desirable people appear to fill the void in your relationships. SCORPIO (October 23-November 21): You need to enhance your fin- ancial standing. A sound philosophy of money and knowledge of the laws of economics is your best guard against mistakes. Read the book "The Richest Man in Babylon" by Clason. SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21): This is a great day for learning how to look beyond your selfish interests and forge relationships based on shared ideals. You gain by working in concert with like-minded activists. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19): Your relations with people today tend to be marred by dominance games. You should be seek- ing to help and serve instead of trying to manipulate or force people into doing what you want. AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18): Your better nature shines out today. Your challenge is to assist without squelching initiative, to show a better way without making people feel inadequate. Your desire to build and improve is genuine. PISCES (February 19-March 20): Trying to improve your standing and importance results in unease among those around you. You're unhappy with your situation, but don't make people nervous in the process of getting ahead.

gemini: this is so true. i've had to learn the hard way.

Yup, Wolfie...took me longer than you...and I still have one - a really BIG one...

July 16, 2000 Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Virgo Quote Of The Day: "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying." - Woody Allen Currently, you're in the second week of your 28-day energy cycle. The Moon is full today, in the Sign of Capricorn. That's good for you, Virgo. Astrologically, the Sun is the symbol for your will power. It represents your ability to make things go your way. Every year, during June 21-July 21, the Sun passes through Cancer, a Water Sign that modulates well with Virgo, an Earth Sign. Water nurtures Earth. Generally, when the Sun passes through Cancer you're more in harmony with nature. You have a better sense of self-control. You have better than a 50/50 chance of things going your way. Of course, other things in your horoscope could counter-indicate this in your case. If, however, past experience shows that June 21-July 21 is usually a good time for you, plan accordingly each year. Do things you enjoy. You lose your winning edge when the Sun passes through Leo (July 22-August 21). Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home."--Bill Cosby You're now in the third week of your 28-day energy cycle. The Moon is full today, in the Sign of Capricorn. Watch out for the loonies! Whether you're male or female, the planet Mars symbolizes the assertive, aggressive and 'masculine' side of your personality. On the average, Mars passes through one Sign of the Zodiac every six weeks. During the six-week period of June 16-July 31, Mars will be passing through your Sign of Cancer. This means that your overall sense of courage, confidence and motivation are due to be stronger than usual during that period. If you've been wanting to do something to improve your self esteem, or that requires a lot of will power or physical energy, try to do it before August 1. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine." The moon is full today, in the sign of Capricorn. Watch out for "loonies"! Gemini, your current energy cycle peaked two days ago. The wave of energy you experienced then has still not subsided. Today, during the full moon, your emotions will be more intense than usual. You can tell by the way people react to you. You may be drawn to certain types of people you normally wouldn't approach. You're experiencing feelings and moods very differently from your normal self. What was going on with you two days ago? Are you just now feeling what was too deep or strong for you to feel back then? If you're feeling strange or confused, talk to a close friend or anybody you can totally trust. Get it off your chest! Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is." - Charles Lamb (You're currently in the first week of your 28-day energy cycle. Today, the Moon is FULL in the Sign of Capricorn.) Sagittarius, each Sign of the Zodiac receives both a gift and a challenge from the Sign that follows it. Sagittarius is followed by Capricorn (12/22-1/20). The Capricorns in your life teach you the value of self-discipline and self-reliance. They challenge you to put your money where your mouth is. Today, while the Moon is FULL, be grateful for everyone in your life who has helped you overcome your limitations. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Capricorn Quote Of The Day: "There is only one success--to be able to spend your life in your own way."--Christopher Morley Today the Moon is FULL and in your sign, Capricorn. It's a good day to get your house in order. Whether you're male or female, the planet MARS symbolizes the assertive, aggressive and "masculine" side of your personality. On the average, Mars passes through one sign of the zodiac every SIX weeks. During the six-week period of June 16-July 31, Mars will be passing through Cancer, the sign that is the equal and opposite of Capricorn. This means that your overall sense of courage, confidence and motivation are due to be stronger than usual during this period. If you've been wanting to do something that requires a lot of will power or physical energy, try to do it before August 1. Today, during the full moon, do something you've been putting off for far too long.

July 16, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Don't you hate it when someone drops the ball? You're going to have to go back to the drawing board and figure out Plan B. You might have to reschedule a meeting but that's okay, it's been too hectic of a day and everyone needs a rest. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius The end of this chapter in your life will bring a sense of balance to you now. Even though you are frustrated that the new opportunity in your life hasn't started yet, there are those working for you "behind the scenes" to make sure you are on your way down a new path. Be patient, your friends are trying to coordinate to your benefit. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're still trying to figure out what your role is in your current job. As frustrating as this may be, you can't work out all your requirements in one day. Take the opportunity to unwind with friends. You can't tie up all loose ends today so leave it at the office and treat yourself to a night out on the town. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Even in chaos, you have everything under control. There is a change in your work environment but it will work out okay. While things may seem to be unsure right now, keep you cool and ride the wave. The storm will calm eventually.

gemini: boy do i know what was going on two days ago!

*grin* ...so do I...

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) An old song you hear may bring back some bittersweet memories but you should not dwell on them and become depressed, as this is old news and it is the future that you are moving into with your new love beside you.

July 18, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn A Gemini from your past is going to come back into your life. While you might be wary of her motives, she just wants to put some closure on a problem you never resolved. Take it for what it's worth and don't try to rekindle the relationship - you've grown out of it. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A letter from a Capricorn will bring you good news. Even though you haven't always gotten along with this person, he realizes your great organizational skills and will present you with a new opportunity that will challenge your skills. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Partnerships will be difficult today. Your ideas don't seem to be communicated clearly and there is a lot of onfusion about your position.

Unwind tonight - listen to some calming music. You need to put this situation in the past. You've handled yourself well and you'll be recognized for your poise in this situation.

July 17, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you." You're currently in the third week of your 28-day energy cycle. Today the moon is passing through Aquarius, a friendly sign, just like Gemini. Your energy was at high tide 4-5 days ago. It's time for you to take a breather. In general, it will be easier for you to relate to people now. It won't require as much energy to get things done. This is a good time to act in your own best interests. Your thinking and your feeling sides are in closer harmony now. Your final burst of energy in this current cycle takes place when you enter week four in two days. Do everything you can to see to it that you start the last week of your cycle with a bang instead of a whimper. (this was one remarkable day from one end to the other and did I ever relate!) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home."-- John Howard Payne You're currently in the third week of your energy cycle. Today, the Moon is in Aquarius, an unconventional, 'modern' or progressive Sign that is usually difficult for Cancer to handle. When the Moon passes through Aquarius each month, something comes over you. For some strange reason, you're drawn to intense, powerful people who have a strong effect on you. It may be only a momentary thing. Sometimes it will be more intense. Be aware that your emotional and sexual needs are demanding more attention than usual now. Financial issues also arise at this time. It's time to get your debts in order. Today is also a good time to work on self-healing efforts, whether your concern is physical, emotional, or spiritual. Have a healing experience! (Wish I could help...) Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth." - Carl Sandburg The Moon is passing through Aquarius, a Sign that is congenial with Sagittarius. This means that today it will be easier for you to be "in the zone" as you do your work and deal with others. You're still in the first week of your new energy cycle. Tell yourself what you want to accomplish between now and August 8. Your energy is still building. Get ready for the first burst of your new energy two days from now, on July 19. Do something constructive today. Take advantage of any opportunity that's staring you in the face. In general, the Stars are right for things to go your way today. Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Leo Quote of the Day: "Whatever you are, be a good one." - Abraham Lincoln (Tomorrow, your wave of energy is due to be at high tide. Today the Moon is FULL, in the Sign of Capricorn. Today and tomorrow are pretty emotional times for you!) Whether you're male or female, the planet MARS symbolizes the assertive, "masculine" side of your personality. Mars passes through one Sign of the Zodiac every SIX weeks. During June 16-July 31, Mars will be passing through Cancer: a Water Sign that does not harmonize well with Fire Sign Leo. Between now and August 1, people won't be as willing to buy your act and do your bidding. Don't push the river! When Mars enters Leo on August 1, the ball will be back in your court. Until then, facing challenges and doing the tough stuff will require more courage, confidence and motivation than you can muster. If you can't wait until August 1 to do your thing, Leo, then do your best to put some class and style into your act.

(that was WIERDLY accurate - thanks for being there...)

July 18, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Bumper Sticker of the Day--"Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?" Currently, you're still in the third week of your energy cycle. Today, the moon is in Aquarius, a mental, friendly air sign, just like Gemini. It's time for a reality check. Are you bored? Do you know where your life is headed? Did you look forward to coming to work today? Today's the day to get away from the ordinary. Do something unusual today. Take a short trip. Read a book, attend a lecture, see a movie, or watch a TV documentary that gives you a new perspective on current concerns. Be with people who encourage and inspire you. Take time out today to ask yourself: "What is the meaning and purpose of my life?" Believe in yourself. (That is why I was online all day...) Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family."-- Thomas Jefferson The Moon is in Aquarius today. Cancer, your current 28-day energy cycle reached its peak intensity a few days ago (July 14 --15). Don't be surprised if you're having some strong feelings today about sex, money, or joint possessions. You're in a space where you're sensitive about getting or protecting what you feel is rightfully yours. These may be old feelings you haven't yet resolved or feelings about events that occurred only recently. In any case, they're your feelings. If you're feeling envy, resentment or jealousy, write the offending party a letter. Say exactly what you feel and think, then burn it and flush the ashes down the sink. It's not a question of getting even. This is about your self-worth! (Uncanny, huh?!) Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Leo Quote of the Day: "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." - Anonymous (You've recently begun the third week of your energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Aquarius, the Sign that is the equal and opposite of Leo. It's your "Shadow Sign." People you look to for a feeling of security or support are more important to you now than usual. This is the time for you to deal with your freedom vs. closeness dilemma. You're due to have some sharing experiences. Let's hope they help to put more fun and life in your close, personal relationships. Today, pay special attention to your mate, partner, or someone with whom you have a close intimate or business relationship. From your side of the relationship, do whatever you can to create a win-win situation for both of you. If you meet each other's emotional needs now, a new closeness may arise. Have a clearing session. Some unspoken conflicts may need airing. (Oh heavens....I know a Leo - unmarried - oh my...) Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Capricorn Quote Of The Day: "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."--Winston Churchill You're still in the first week of your current 28-day energy cycle, Capricorn. Today, the moon is in the sign of Aquarius. Capricorn, today's a good day to reflect on your hopes, dreams, and wishes. What kind of a future do you envision for yourself? What do you value? What makes your life worth living? One thing that is extremely important for all Capricorns is to have a sense of accomplishment. Today, be grateful for all the people in your life who have helped you overcome your limits. Promise yourself that you'll keep on keeping on 'til you reach the top of your mountain. Remember, climbing a mountain is tough, but when you reach the top, the view is great. (Oh my...one of these too.......sigh) Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Virgo Quote Of The Day: "The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and doesn't stop until you get to the office." - Robert FrostM Today the Moon is passing through Aquarius. Whether you're male or female, the planet Mars symbolizes the assertive, aggressive and "masculine" side of your personality. On the average, Mars passes through one Sign of the Zodiac every six weeks. During the six-week period of June 16-July 31, Mars will be passing through Cancer, a Water Sign that harmonizes well with Virgo, an Earth Sign . This means that your overall sense of courage, confidence and motivation are due to be stronger than usual during that six-week period. If you've wanted to do something that requires a lot of willpower or physical energy, try to do it before August 1. (and especially one of these. YESSSS!)

for Terry and all those other early December babies: Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "Science may have found a cure for most evils; but is has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings." - Helen Keller (You're currently ending the first week of your energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Aquarius, a friendly, definitely different Sign that's usually sympatico with Sagittarius. When the Moon passes through Aquarius each month, it's usually a busy time for you. Generally, it's a good time for making connections and catching up on your communications. Be sure to check your e-mail and phone calls. It's a time for giving or attending talks, presentations, etc. Today's a good day to get in touch with your relatives or neighbors and catch up on the gossip.

July 19, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Keep the lid on your emotions today as a bad attitude could lose a lot for you that you don't want lost. Stay out of other peoples fights even if you do feel like standing up for the underdog. On the plus side, the day could be very lucky for you financially. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Being skeptical of rumors is usually a good thing but today you may find that this one carries more truth than you are prepared for. This is a good day to visit the ill, take the family pet to the vet, and even start your christmas savings account, if you haven't already. , GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You may find that after thinking things over, you are in total agreement with the ideas of a working partner. Domestic affairs may be a trifle unsettled today but nothing too world shaking. Mainly, you should pay attention when someone is talking to you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You could have a problem communicating with key people today and that will tend to slow down your projects and productivity. Later in the day you finally gain access to the right people and get your immediate goals accomplished. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Don't let things slide today, either at home or at work as to do so will only make work for you later when you have even less time to get it finished. Others will feel a tendency to just chuck everything and go fishing, don't succumb to the temptation. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Take no risks today with your financial worth, there is a good chance of loss if you make a bad decision, and the good one will be awful hard to discern. Wait until another day to handle these affairs, even if you must put someone off in the process. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Be careful if you order something expensive from a mail order catalog, check out the company if it is not well known or you could wind up losing your money or getting an inferior product, especially electronics. Romance reigns today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Talk with people today that are in the type of business that you are thinking about getting into; you could pick up more real information that way than you will ever find in how to books. Check out financial arrangements that you have in the works. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) There are deceptive trends in the air today so be careful of money and financial arrangements that you are making. Do not take any unnecessary risks, such as gambling or unsecured loans to others. Stay cool in the area of romance, keep the commitments for another time. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Researchers will find that the extra knowledge they glean today will help them immensely and facilitate a quick breakthrough in their projects. Others will find that avoiding moneymaking schemes and keeping their feet on the ground will be beneficial to them. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Delays, mixups, and misunderstandings will be the norm at work today but you manage to get through it unscathed. Take the evening to relax and have some fun with friends or family while you quiet your nerves for another go at it tomorrow. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Out of town invitations leave you cold today as you still have not forgiven the person who is asking. Unforgiveness will damage everything from your subconscious to your long term health, now isn't that a good enough reason to let go of your anger at this person by forgiving them?

July 19, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn All that spending you've been doing lately is going to come back to haunt you. Balance your checkbook so you won't go into the negative. Buckle down for a while so you can save up some cash for a wise investment opportunity coming your way. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Why are you agonizing over the future at your job? While you have no control over this, you're still upset over what could be. Keep focused on your work. This would be a good time to present any cost saving or time saving systems you have thought about. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra An idea you may not want to happen is about to be set into motion. There's nothing you can do to change this. Have you been talking to your spirit guides about this? You need to take the high road here or you're going to look like you're being petty. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Today is a great day for meetings. Your negotiating skills are right on so get those important people together today. Make sure to have all the documents you need to back up your statements and this will get done a lot quicker.

July 19, 2000 Gemini (May 22-June 21) Gemini Very Deep Thought of the Day--"I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges?" The moon is passing through Pisces, a sign that is very confusing for Geminis. You're in the fourth and final week of the energy cycle you started back on June 29. You've reached your last turning point of this cycle. You're due to experience one last burst of the physical and emotional energy you've been releasing for the past week. Your goal or intention for your current energy cycle is now going through its final test. If things are going your way today, you'll be free to experience your burst of physical and emotional energy any way you please. If things aren't going your way, don't be hard on yourself. Ask the little kid in you for forgiveness if you haven't been a good parent lately. Don't give up on yourself. Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) Leo Quote of the Day: "No one can build his security upon the nobleness of another person." - Willa Cather (You're currently in the third week of your energy cycle.) Today, the Moon is in Pisces, a very sensitive, introverted Sign that is usually difficult for Leo to handle. When the Moon passes through Pisces, something comes over you. For some strange reason, you're drawn to intense, powerful people who have a strong emotional effect on you. It may be only a momentary thing. Sometimes it will be more intense. Be aware that your four A's - your needs for Attention, Acceptance, Approval, and Affection - are very strong now. Financial issues also arise at this time. It's time to get your debts in order. Today is also a good time to work on self-healing efforts, whether your concern is physical, emotional, or spiritual. Have a healing experience! Cancer (June 22-July 22) Cancer Quote of the Day: "A person travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it."-- George Moore Today the Moon is passing through Pisces, a sensitive Water Sign just like Cancer. You're in the third week of your current energy cycle. Your energy was at high tide four to five days ago. It's time for you to take a breather. In general, it will be easier for you to relate to people now. It won't require as much energy to get things done. This is a good time to act in your own best interests. Your thinking and your feeling sides are in closer harmony now. Your final burst of energy in this current cycle takes place when you enter the fourth week two days from now on July 22. Do everything you can to see to it that you start the last week of your cycle with a bang instead of a whimper. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Capricorn Quote Of The Day: "Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love."--David McCullough The moon is passing through Pisces, a sign that is congenial with Capricorn. This means that today it will be easier for you to be "in the zone" as you do your work and deal with others. You're still in the first week of your new energy cycle. Tell yourself what you want to accomplish between now and August 10. Your energy is still building. Get ready for the first burst of your new energy three days from now (July 22). Do something constructive today. Take advantage of any opportunity that's staring you in the face. In general, the stars are right for things to go your way today. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Sagittarius Quote of the Day: "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." - Thomas Paine The Moon is passing through Pisces, a Sign that is NOT in harmony with Sagittarius. You've reached the first Turning Point in the new energy cycle you started one week ago. You're feeling the first burst of the physical and emotional energy that's been building up since your new cycle began. If everything's going fine in your life now, you'll feel free to use your bursts of physical, emotional, and mental energy any way you want. If you feel that things aren't going your way today, it's time to reinforce your intention. What do you want to happen during this energy cycle? Renew your WILL to DO what's good for you. Take time to deal with the little problems that come up now. Don't give up. Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) Virgo Quote Of The Day: "The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television." - Unknown The Moon is passing through Pisces, the Sign that is the opposite of Virgo. This means that you've reached the halfway point in your monthly energy cycle. For the next two weeks, you'll be releasing the physical and emotional energy that started to build up inside you when your new cycle began two weeks ago. If things are going well for you now, great! You'll experience your burst of energy in good and positive ways. If you're not doing well now, you'll be tempted to project the cause of your frustration and unhappiness out onto people around you. Individuals with whom you are at odds now are mirroring back to you something you cannot or will not see in yourself. During these next two weeks, follow up on and finish what you started two weeks ago.

It always seems like there's a "new energy cycle"; what's up with this?

i am having an "up" week. so up that i'm afraid to fall down. (gemini)

Nope, no Gemini going earthward until after the first of August. I'll be airborne, remember?!

July 20, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn While you feel like you're making a foolish decision about an important relationship - it's okay! Be impulsive - you'll find that being silly for a while will be good for you because things have been humdrum for a while. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A lunch meeting will prove to be not only fun but a great idea generator. Traveling to gather more information is in your future. Pack your bathing suit - you're going to travel to a warm climate soon! AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Everything seems to be "clicking" today - you haven't hit a red light all day! Make sure to return phone messages today because you need to provide some information to complete an important matter. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Following your spiritual path may upset others but do what's best for you. It's just because they don't understand everything about it so keep your cool while you explain new things to them. The angels will help guide your conversations.

July 20, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your charm is enhanced today and you will be able to make a great impression on those who are important to you in your line of work. Accept your compliments with a quiet, self confident demeanor which is so much more impressive than denying your worth in a,"oh, it was nothing", sort of way. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Today stick to conventionalities in business, don't rock the boat with any new age ideas that may not sit too well with higher ups. You should get some positive results on a pending lawsuit, in fact it may be settled without going to court. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your devil may care manner and smiling disposition will wind up captivating the opposite sex today and you can have your pick of the crowd; don't use this as an excuse to hurt someone close to you, after all, this may be the only person who will still be beside you when this phase wears off. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Be aggressive today when the opportunity arises for you to go after what you really want, Your chances of doing and saying just the right thing are extra good. Keep your eyes open as you could potentially meet the right person to share your life with. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Leo, an old lover is waiting in the wings and he/she wants to make up and try again. This may not be as good underneath as it sounds on the surface, as this person has not changed and may never change; taking a chance now could be risky business. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is the day to deal with bankers, insurance companies and various agencies dealing with your finances. Take advantage of the lucky star you are under and push for the terms, etc., that you want, today you are apt to get them. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Disappointments in a change of plans threatens your day and your peace of mind with anger and resentments, don't worry, you will soon see that all changes are not bad and these you are really going to enjoy. Good news after dark makes your day complete. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Progress at work marks this day with approval from your boss and your peers. Extra effort on your part could get a partner- ship matter settled on the home front and you and the spouse enjoy an evening out with friends at your local haunts. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Progress on the job is iffy at best today as you find yourself hampered with delays and disappointments in your work force. Interruptions at work may be your biggest hindrance to accom- plishment; a ray of sunshine in the afternoon as a good opportunity comes your way. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Curb your extravagant impulses today as you find yourself on the paying end of socializing with friends and buddies, don't let anyone get you so carried away that you get careless; remember to keep a designated driver with you and take only the amount of money you wish to spend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Electric appliances go on the fritz today and just about everything that can go wrong does! Murphy's law is in effect today in a very strong way. Nothing too serious, but enough piddling things to keep you gritting your teeth. Evening finds things calming down. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) It is a great day for romance and a lousy day for business so if it were me, I would take the day off to pursue the first! Matters of the heart will be resolved today, and you may find yourself ready to walk down the aisle as soon as the invitations go out.

Oh Wolfie, did you see that?! That is my last horoscope posting till I get home again.

Like this one better: Horoscopes - Gemini You may have a secret you're anxious to share. It may relate to new creative projects or simply be that you're in love. Keep things quiet for a while longer. You'll be ready for a new level of commitment with a partner or mate after August 20. You may even be ready to tackle more dynamic work projects then. Love and romance seem to light a fire that burns brightly in all areas of your life. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ __

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Inspiration is your companion today both at home and at work. Redecorating the house comes easy for you as the ideas just keep flowing. Likewise at work you will see an increase in productivity and prestige as you exceed your former limits. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) You will be happily planning your recreational activities for the coming weekend but, be sure you do not let your attention slide at work as those plans could be ruined in an instant if an accident should occur due to inattention. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) This is an excellent day to replenish the wardrobe and do some shopping for the home.

A great bathing suit will look better on a great body! Take your exercise.

Geez, how did they know we had a trip this weekend???

No mountains this weekend, they're a long way from the hills of Central Texas.

uh oh, i think i was supposed to be doing the horroscopes (misspelled on purpose). let me find that link and get us back up to speed!

July 23, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Being acquainted with ungrateful people is bad enough but when it is a close member of your family it makes your heart ache, the more you do for a certain person the less it is appreciated; resolve now to quit, just back off and let God handle the situation. TAURUS (Apr. 20- May 20) Even though you find todays socializing enjoyable, you feel that you need some quiet time to yourself and finally slip away just to think a few things through. Evening church services may be better for you than the morning ones so why not plan to go. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Surprises are in the air for you today and they are the romantic kind. Church services may allow you to see someone you know in a whole different light and find that you have indeed judged this person wrong by listening to rumors. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) A job that you volunteered for may turn out to be harder than you had anticipated but you manage to get it done on time. An evening romantic interlude may bring you more happiness than you could hope for, or ever expect to find. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone needs to know that you care and appreciate all they have done for you, no big speeches, just a lot of "honey I love you" as often as possible. Take the family to a nice restaurant after church and forget the hot stove routine. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Some business tips may come over the air for you today and at least one could have a bearing on a problem that you have been wrestling with. A prayer meeting after church has your house full already so why not have a late afternoon bar-b-que. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) The siren song of far away places may be calling to you but try to keep that daydreaming wanderlust under control as you may make a false start and lose all you have worked for here, on the home front. Try to find a permanent position here as the family will not agree to pull up atakes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Someone was going to sell you an item that you were really anxious to have but the deal falls through when they decide not to sell. Don't be too disappointed as you will soon find the same thing at a cheaper price that you will be able to obtain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) A spur of the moment trip or activity turns out to be more than enjoyable, the benefits to you will not become apparent until later next month. Remember to take along the family as they will be a big part of it. Others will find this a relaxing day at home. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) You may have trouble getting yourself understood today and this is no fault of your own, just a breakdown in communication, it will soon pass and the two of you will be sharing the same vibes. A wonderful gift is given you today and you pledge to always love and care for it and the giver. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Deciding on big jobs and the payouts for the same should be a joint decision, one partner, you, should not shoulder the whole responsibility in case something goes wrong. This is a good day to spend lazing around with the family in the back yard, recovering your energies. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Be prepared for a surprise today in the romance department when your love pops the big question. You should spend some time in church today as you reaffirm your faith and build your spirituality; do a friend a favor and take that person with you to church.

July 24 2000 (sorry about posting at the end of the day but what better way to learn if these actually are accurate?) ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Too many demands on your time could cause you a touch of anger, but simmer down, tomorrow is not that far away. Your co-workers could be out of sorts so it will fall to you to de-fuse any situation that arises. Loved ones keep their distance today but you soon overcome that. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Your planning abilities are extra high today so get them down on paper as quick as possible. Pay closer attention to children and loved ones. A spouse could be feeling neglected right about now so why not use your inspirations to come up with some exciting evening activities.

Children and family play a big part in your success. You could be pleasantly surprised today.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Curb your ways and manner and you will get along well today. Loosen up and let people "in", you will find it a nice change. you may be offered a good deal on a car or other major purchase. Investigate and if alls well; grab it. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Everything is going smooth for you today. Take care of business and try not to get behind in your work as no problems can foster complacency as that leads to failure. You have a good head on your shoulders so I know you wont be caught in that trap. Love is still in bloom for single Virgos. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Listen to those around you. People close to you are trying to get through to you but you are too caught up in your worries. Take inventory of your values and priorities, set self interest aside and focus on those who need you. This could be a rewarding day for you, SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Scorpios wandering eye could cause a lot of trouble and heartbreak and could cost you a much loved spouse or friend. Do not be beguiled by someone who only wants to toy with your affections and ruin your life. Exercise your self control to get through this trying time SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Today is best spent in quiet meditation and peaceful surroundings. Do not get caught up in a lot of hub bub. Just relax and enjoy a day with good friends or your spouse, at the beach or back yard swimming pool. Everyone benefits from this kind of day. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Finish what you started and be ready for some fun times this afternoon. Get together and go fishing with some real good friends. Leave the family home for today as everyone can benefit from a little apartness so they can get their own spiritual houses in order. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) This is a day for taking care of family business. Finalizing plans for getting a home or some other major purchase. Don't be hasty and overlook a few points that could save you lots of money. Dicker down on price if there is still time to do so. Be sure your spouse is in on these considerations. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) It is time to get back into shape after indiscriminate eating and watching the tube. Bathing suits are tinier than ever ( both men and women) and you want to look your best where ever you are. Look around for a good spa and dig into some health food books.

(Hugs Wolfie!)

July 25, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You may meet with one aggravating situation after another today but nothing will be able to shake that good feeling you woke up with this morning. News in the evening gives you a wonderful cause to have that good feeling. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Efficiency is your middle name today where your job is concerned. You make a lot of headway in the kudos department and wind up a big hit with the boss, careful, you could get a raise out of all this. Stay out of disputes with friends in the evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Business affairs are good today as you do some fancy negotiations and get that funding you have been angling for all along. Don't get into any family confrontations today as it could turn into a week long running battle, just smile and go on. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) You may be in the market to purchase some books for your home library and a good idea would be to check out your local library to see what they may have to offer, identical copies of books that are donated to them are sometimes sold to the public; you could get a good deal. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A seminar that interests you is slated for tonight, be sure you don't run late or forget to go as this could mean a lot to you in the long run. Your ideas so impress someone today that they make an immediate suggestion of a partnership. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Try to stay out of family quarrels today especially if they do not involve you to begin with, the middle is an uncomfortable place to be; people often get crushed when in such a position. It is an excellent time to take yourself out shopping while everything gets straightened out. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Being short with a coworker today will not endear you to this person and could set up production problems for you in the future. This is a good day for implementing your ideas as the boss thinks you are one imaginative person and has kept his ears open to your ideas in the past. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Hanging onto your extravagant urges will be a full time job for you today as you seem to want everything you see or hear about. This would be a good day for getting away from shops and maybe go fishing or swimming, if you don't have to work, just to keep your mind off of spending. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Group activities, possible a charity drive, are highlighted for today when you are called upon to help out your local charity. Your personality is very attractive today as people find you pleasant and easy to get along with. Its your charisma, use it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Your career interests move forward today in spite of a few upsets early on, upsets that you are well able to handle with diplomacy. The afternoon is good for making those presentations you have been getting all prepared. An out of town call makes you happy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Steer clear of friends who may be in an argumentative mood for the day so you do not chance getting into a big one and losing a friend in the process. your slated meeting with an agent goes well and you are on your way to a better life. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Try not to antagonize a coworker today as it could make working for the firm more unpleasant than it already is. Hold your temper and keep this job while you look for another one. It is a fact of life that if you are already working, it is easy to find another position.

marcia??? *HUGS* July 26, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A business deal is looking good at this time so proceed. Someone who has harbored ill feelings for you in the past would now like to make it up to you. This could be to your benefit to let them do so. Children may be a little unruly and cause you to be upset. Hold on to that Aries temper. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) New people at work are not quite used to the way you are doing things, or you may be the new worker. Either way you should give them a chance to warm up to you as they almost surely will. Love is spotlighted for today. Reaffirm your vows to strengthen a marriage bond that could be fraying at the edges. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Today is a quiet time for you and your loved ones. Bar-b-q, swimming pool, badminton with the kids, all of these are a step in the right direction. Family ties are the high point for today. Be alert on the job today but with your keen attention to details you will be able to prevent any accidents. CANCER ( June 22-July 22) This is good day to find bargains on building material and supplies. Guard against any impulse buying for "later" projects because a bargain is a bargain as long as you need it to use. You will find many willing hands at home to help. Don't forget that even the youngest one makes a good "gofer". LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A child could possibly feel left out and jealous of a newborn today so take extra care to stress {show don't tell} his or her importance to you and the entire family as a whole. If this is your first be careful not to spoil it too much! VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) Someone who has been absent in your life for a while may be contacting you be mail or telephone. Promises made today are not to be relied on so take all such with "a grain of salt" but you are usually sharp on the uptake and will be able to spot a phoney line a mile away. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Business runs into a few snags but with your drive and perseverance you soon get it all in hand and running smooth again. A new love is in the air for you single Libras, or possibly an old love that you are still attracted to. This person may have played you false in the past, be careful this time around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Today you will be very tempted to cheat on a spouse but that could be the worst decision of your life as the signs are right today that you would be found out and lose everything you have worked together with your spouse to accomplish. Cheating Always winds up costing the cheater. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Today when you run into helpful strangers listen to your feelings. You could be speaking to an angel unaware. You will also get your chance to help someone today. Perhaps a car stalled, a driver with a flat tire or just asking directions. Children will also make demands on your time today. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Money problems will show some improvement today along with a job opportunity that shows excellent promise. A trade offer you may receive is not in your best interests at this time. Use evening time for prayer and meditation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Small appliances may be a nuisance today, also other, more mundane things can come along to spoil your day if you let them. I know with your capabilities that you will be able to take care of and manage these small things so they do not get blown out of proportion and ruin your day. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Your friends and loved ones will look to you today for leadership. Your advice is sound so don't be afraid to speak up. Your spouse is planning a big surprise for you and the family so be prepared. Try to smile even if the activity should call for more energy than you feel you can spare.

Yup, it's me!!!

Astrology outlook for the month Astrological overview: The biggest news, I would suppose, has to do with Mr. Saturn, old man fate himself, at least old man fate of the astrological milieu. He gets up to the doorway into the tropical zodiac sign of Gemini, and stops. In the real world, he doesn't actually stop, but his relative motion to our planet, it appears like he stops. At that point called "zero Gemini." Jupiter is in Gemini, and starting to slow down some, too, and this is compounded by Mars spending the duration of the month in Leo, and Venus just barely squeaks all the way through Libra. The rest of the stuff is pretty much the same, nothing new here. It looks like Virgo starts around the 23rd of this month. Secure online ordering for a personalized reading is available on the website: WWW.ASTROFISH.NET Aries : It's one thing to go by the book, read all the rules about astrology, and make inferences drawn on an academic knowledge. It's another thing to look at the Aries chart for the month (charts, actually), and consider some personal observations drawn from many long years of watching what's up with Aries. Going to be an interesting time. "Interesting GOOD or interesting BAD?" is the impatient question. The answer is "Yes." It's one of those months that it all depends on what you do with what the stars are dealing you right now. It is a time when there's a greater degree of happiness floating around, and there's a feeling, a sudden shift around the middle of the month, which indicates that everything is getting a little bit different. Supposedly a little bit better. But once again, we're back to this "it depends on what you do with what you've got" sort of thing. The books say it's a good time. My applied astrology, though, suggests that you're going to feel a little more irritable than ever before. Part of this is because you're going to run into people who take far too long to say too little. Or folks who can't make up their minds. This is a month like a trip to the grocery store -- it doesn't matter what line you're in, the other one always moves faster. Consider it a good time to catch up on Elvis sightings and space alien invasion news, if you know what I mean. Taurus : I promised relief, and it's here, this month, right now. It's not a long bit of relief, but it is a short period of relative peace. Sort of, see, if it's not one planet that's making you unhappy, then there's always something else that pops up. As long as Mars is in Leo, he's going to put some extra pressure on you, at one point or another. So this month, even though you're done with Saturn for a month or so, you still have a contentious Mars thing to deal with. Mars is like the late summer heat here in Austin -- it's good for baking things on the sidewalk, but this type of heat also drives the animals to do strange things. I've seen fish literally jump into boats at times like this. Now, in your own Taurus world, you might try to make this a little more sporting. You get this sudden feeling of relief as Saturn makes his exit. Then, like those fish, you might do something a little too exuberant. This is the combination of Mars and Saturn, sudden relief, and then a sudden burst of energy -- perhaps a sudden burst in the wrong direction. When you get to celebrating this month, try to find a designated driver. It's a matter of finding some rational way of blowing off steam, not irrational, not this month. We ain't quite done with Saturn for good, just for a few weeks. Gemini : Hello Gemini! This is a test. This is only a test. This is not an actual emergency. This is not the end of the world. This IS a certified welcome message to what the next few years might be like, if you are willing to go for it. It's a simple message, and it has to do with the new order that's coming along soon enough. This isn't something that is happening right away, but you get the minimalist taste of Saturn right now. The only problem is that Jupiter is already here, and he's just the opposite of being a minimalist, he's the territorial expansion king. Besides, like I alluded to before, this is only the smallest hint of what it could be like. Saturn is willing to work with you, if you are willing to tighten up and display a little bit more self-discipline. So consider this month as a trial run, a quick test, an opportunity to see what it is that needs preparation for the big one coming up. And use this month wisely, it can be full of all sorts of prurient fun. Cancer : There's really only one image that I can conjure up for this month, at least, for Cancer. It's a pretty good image, too, but it's also a little tired. The image is tired, not the Cancer in the image. It's that old bumper sticker slogan, "If this trailer's rocking, don't come knocking." What your astrology looks like this month is that your house on wheels is a veritable party pad, and almost every night this month, you should be enjoying rock and roll. It's going to be a such an active month -- you might consider taking time off just so you can sleep in late and enjoy the crush of the masses. It's a party time, and as long as both the Sun and Mars are in Leo, and even at the very end, when the Sun goes into Virgo, it's still a good time to play. In fact, having fun, and hanging out is the best thing to do all month long. The nasty influences are over, if only for a short time, but as long as the bad stuff is out of your way, you can imitate the actions of the mighty Leo, and party on! Leo : There's always one special Leo, and that person knows just exactly who she is. Happy birthday. Whew, got that out of the way. Now, let's look at your planets: Mars. Mars starts out in Leo, winds up in Leo, and doesn't do much else but spend a lot of time in Leo this month. While this might be a good influence, I was listening to some old dance music the other day, and I was amazed at how far we haven't come. The track had a sample of something that sounded like a bad science fiction "Space Ray from Mars" noise, and that's what this month is like. That noise which sounds like a B-movie sound clip is really Mars doing two things. On the one hand, Mars can be really irritating. On the flip side of that other hand, Mars can give you energy. I'm hoping that the musical allusion this month, a reminder of old stuff, and maybe it's a space ray that's going to lend you lots of energy, time and ability to get everything done. I just really hope it's not some sort of deadly blast "death ray" from some kind of alien machine. With Mars, it could happen, but back to musical allusion, in the weird movie "Mars Attacks" it was a cowboy music yodel that saved the day. Music might be the best elixir this month. Virgo : Happy birthday! Okay, so Virgo doesn't start until August 23, more or less, but still, here's to a happy birthday thought. Notice that it's a single thought, and that sort of sets the tone for this month because you wind up getting preoccupied with just one thought this month. That's a bit of a problem. Your razor sharp, always exact Virgo mental process gets latched onto one thing, one process and instead of tracking two or three things at a time, you are intent on that one item. Every watch the serious old fisherman, down at the creek? These guys can have two or three lines in the water at a time. You would benefit this month from trying the same thing. Consider the odds, and and figure that you can't have more than one fish strike any of those lines at the same time. So if you were to spread yourself out a little, maybe try more than one fishing pole this month, you might improve the odds for a truly odd month. Libra : I was seeking professional assistance with a perceived mental problem at one point, and what I discovered was that the psychiatrist was crazier than me. I realize it's a bit of a stretch, but you have clear picture here. Now, this month, you're going to discover that the so-called "experts" whom you seek for advice and counsel turn out to be more whacked than you. At one point, you're going to sit there, scratch you're head, and wonder, "Has the whole world gone nuts?" In fact, I do believe that it has, at least, from your Libra point of view. There's a trick to this month, and there's a special trick I learned from being a real Fishing Guide (to the Stars) which will help with the Libra month: don't be afraid to listen to the non-experts. You probably know what works best, but the experts are more apt to lead you astray this month, and the rank amateurs, the folks with nothing to lose, they are the ones in the know. Be alert to "alternative" sources of wisdom this month. Scorpio : I was going to warm you up with a little Scorpio sarcasm, but this isn't a month when your fine sense of humor and alert mental facilities are willing to bend to my twisted jokes. Or anyone else's jokes, for that matter. So rather than taking spurious potshots at Scorpio, I guess I should just fairly warn you about Mars in Leo. Or, for that matter, the host of other planets trailing along in Leo, as well. Leo is a nice sign (not as nice as Scorpio, but don't tell the Leo's that). But Leo and the other stuff that follows it this month just doesn't quite "sit right" with Scorpio this month. Of course, the "sitting" part of this month is also out. There's going to be a conflict or two this month. Something you don't feel like taking sitting down. Rant and rave, storm about, or do a typical Scorpio thing and stew in it for while. Either way, the easiest approach is to resolve not resolve the problem right now because you might not be able to clearly separate the problem from its cause this month. I'm on the Scorpio side, this month, but at one point, it's going to feel like it's ONLY you and me. Sagittarius : A lot of astrologers have told me that this is a wonderful month for Sagittarius because "Leo this" and "Leo that" and so forth. Right, this certainly looks wonderful on paper. But over in another quadrant of the astrological sky, long after sunset, you can see the Sagittarius problem: Jupiter. It's not so bad that he's in Gemini, but it is going to cause a certain degree of consternation. And this feeling is roughly equivalent to the time honored Sagittarius tradition, that "It's better over there." It doesn't matter where "over there" is, "here" seems to be a less than salubrious place to be. Here's a trick I've discovered that works really well, it's an old Fang Sway concept: realign the axis of your trailer this month. Change north and south, east and west. It's like rearranging your furniture, only, you don't have to move a thing. This is why a Sagittarius is usually happiest with a "home on wheels," as it were. If you can just change the way you look at things, perhaps have the lake view out of the west side of the trailer instead of the east side, you'll find a way to scratch that "over there" itch without too much trouble. Capricorn : I cheat when I use Shakespeare quotes. I have several books which are just for quotations, I have a database of my favorite quotes, I have the "Complete Works" in various formats (abridged, unabridged, digital, textbook, handy reference manual, individual plays, the poem, the sonnets, literary criticism editions and the list goes on). When I need a special quote for a certain moment, I can usually call something up from one of the handy references. This is from one of my favorite plays, Henry the Fifth: "Ay, leeks is good." (V.i.58) What does all this have to do with Capricorn? Like the leeks, this is a good month. There are a number of things to rejoice, take your pick. Just about any of the planetary doings are going to be good for you this month. Now, the quote has a lot to do with this month, though, there's a certain quality about this month, and certain feeling about how everything is good, too. You're doing fine. But if you're munching on leeks, you might not find yourself welcome in our face. If it's such a good month for you, you don't need to rub it in, or breath heavily in the face of the rest of us. Got the idea? This month is sort of like a guilty pleasure that you have a hard time concealing. Enjoy it anyway. Aquarius : This month does not get off to a good start. This month is like one of those mornings that you are supposed to get up and get going, and you just roll over for a few moments more rest, only to awake hours later. The problem is, in a panic, you realize that you've overslept, and that ruins the extra four hours of sleep you just got. And that's what the month starts with. It's a little bump in the astrological road, but we'll both get over this small problem before too long. After that, the month motors along in a much better form. About the time Virgo starts, you're going to assume that you're in the clear. I would be remiss in my duties, though, if I suggested it was all clear sailing. Nope, there's a nasty little pothole in the astrology road that comes up at the end of the month, too. So even though you start feeling better, there's still no reason to go careening along at a dangerous high speed. In fact, I recommend paying close attention to the posted speed limits at the end of the month. There's no use in trying to cover that extra ground you lost at the beginning of the month by rushing too fast at the end of the month. Slow down to avoid both the cop with the radar gun AND that pothole. Thank me in September. Pisces : There's something special about this month. It's a time for Pisces to start planning and preparing. I want Pisces to take a long look and view the final third of the year as a project. It's time to consider what's up. It's time to make some long term prognostications. There's a way to make a serious buck off some of the present events. There's a way to move yourself ahead, and you want to consider how to position yourself at this time. There's some good stuff, right around the astrological corner. The problem is that it's still summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and whether that's you're location or not, it's time to start pulling the odd and disparate bits together for the finally sprint to the end of the year. In Texas, I expect to find a Pisces or two, sweltering away in the garage and working on the "next big thing" which is a Pisces plan to get rich and conquer the world. (I hope that includes a safe place for Sagittarius astrologers, too, a mere 1% of the gross would be fine, thank you.) The difficulty with this month is a serious of little events that seem to block your path. Step over these obstacles, and keep thinking about the big picture. Together, we can conquer anything this time. =A9 Kramer Wetzel 1999, Y2K August 12 & 13 =8B El Paso, TX August 19 & 20 =8B Austin, TX Feel free to forward this missive on to your friends and whatnot, but please include everything down to the end of the signature line to make sure our lawyers are happy.

July 27, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You need to slow down. If you don't, you're not going to see the new idea or opportunity in front of you. You have the potential to create something wonderful and new in your life. Don't miss it! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A friendship is going to change for you. Make sure you are grounded when this happens. Even thought you are fearful of the unknown, this will be good for you so let go of the past. It has no bearing on what's going on now. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Are you listening to your intuition? Your spirit guides are trying to communicate with you. You will be hearing some new information that will bring a situation to the light. It will become clear that you've been right all along. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You've been isolating yourself lately but a Scorpio is no longer going to allow you to do that. Have you thought about getting on a roller coaster lately? You need a good scream.

July 28, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Even though some of your friends might say you're acting foolish, keep walking your path. Leave your past behind. There are those who will try to discourage you but don't listen. They are just jealous because you know who you are. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius The time of feeling like you're fighting an uphill battle is over. A Pisces you know is going to be working behind the scenes to make sure this time is over for you. Breathe a sigh of relief -- it's going to be a new adventure from here on out. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You've been working so hard to reach your goal; you haven't been enjoying the process. You will reach this goal but you will feel short changed in the end because you've been letting the fun of reaching it go by you. This is a lesson learned -- you need to enjoy the process as much as the final outcome. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Today's travel plans are postponed. There are some mechanical problems that are keeping you home. Is there a tool box handy?

I posted some pictures of my new construction adventure in the home conference. This is the big new retreat center in Cedar Creek. http://cybersubdivision.com/pix0727/

Be proud of your accomplishment and your new purchase! AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Even though you don't want to admit it, you've been rather moody lately. It's time to pay attention to those who have been putting up with you. A thoughtful gift may smooth things over very nicely.

Make sure to wear your watch so you don't miss another meeting!

i have been very moody all weekend!

I've been sick... August 1, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Your performance on the job is A-one as you get your projects in on time. Take advantage of today by being a self starter. A friend wants you to help on a matter that you instinctively realize will hurt someone, possibly you. You pass on the idea. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today a rumor may be worth listening to, check carefully, it may be true. You will find a shopping spree should be kept simple and short. Use logic and common sense at work as you are highly creative but the boss may not like your creative approach to a certain project GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A new job or position is coming your way and it looks like a good one to latch onto. A friend needs a sympathetic ear and yours is the chosen one. Your advice is as good as you always make it. Children will need your special guidance so plan to work with your local youth groups. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Diplomacy is your middle name and you are called on to put it to use today as you are called on to keep the peace. Do not get too wound up in the personal affairs of other people any deeper than you have to, you could end up being the bad guy in their minds if they feel you are interfering LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Don't be taken in by someone as you have only one attraction for this person. An old friend perks your interest when you realize that this person is feeling very romantic about you and, unlike the other one, truly likes you. Work is satisfy- ing today as you accomplish more in less time. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You are somewhat of a dreamer and a philosopher and everyone loves to gather round you and listen. You can and do use some of this talent to help others as they lose their path in life. Beware of animals this week as they can look very deceptive and be more aggressive than you would guess. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A short trip to refresh your mind and your energies today as you get nearer to your boiling point on the job. Go on and get away, you'll come back in better shape and you may even start to like your job again. Friends and family give you space to think. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You wear power well and it suits you. With understanding you help others through some emotional pain when you must make a decision that may not have their best interests at heart. Business must be first even though it does not sit well with you but what must be, must be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Apply logic and sense to your present home situation and you will be able to remove the stress that is building up over your new employment. Don't be talked out of reaching your goal when you are so close to catching the brass ring. A child may give you a few problems today but you can handle it. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Everyone is ecstatic over the new home so try to keep hold of a possibly quick temper so you do not spoil the fun. Remember, you only move into a place for the first time, once. Try to be sure everyone comes through this with a lot of laughing, happy memories they can share in later years. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) This is not a good time to go overboard on spending unless you need to purchase necessities and in that case, bargain hunting just came back into style. The business plans you have been working on shows signs of becoming a reality as someone offers you financial backing. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A good idea you had a while back seems too good to waste so you revive it and revise it and once implemented, everything runs smooth for you. Friends and relatives are happier to be with you now that you are no longer worried and walking around with a long face.

August 1, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Feeling grumpy lately? Don't take it out on your biggest fan. They are only trying to help. The last thing you want to do is to hurt their feelings. Have patience and watch your tongue because words can cut like a knife. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Have you planned a vacation yet? You may not think you have the finances but you do. Plan a weekend getaway somewhere you haven't been before. Search for bargains and you'll find a new place to go that you've never dreamed about. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Ready to take on new responsibility? Good - because you're going to get a new project to work on and it's very important. Make sure not to get overwhelmed.

Kilauea84... it is changed !

August 3, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Don't let the disagreements or developments with someone you are trying to help cause you undue stress and anxiety as you have done all you can do and the problems should soon be over.

It will be best to put off making decisions that could have a major impact on your life and/or your future. You are tempt- ed to follow the path of least resistance; don't. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your dream has come true and now you are on your way. Remember that you are the only one that can succeed for you and then act accordingly. Family and friends give you very little time to think today so the best thing to do is go off alone until you have things all sorted out in your mind. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Leo, you have a hard time keeping up with your peers today as you are feeling a little under the weather; see your doctor soon for that checkup you have been putting off and it will serve to relieve your mind as well as help you feel better. Spend the evening relaxing. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Employee unrest will be the order of the day at your workplace but you have the matter well in hand. Plan some activities with the children as they do not see half enough of you because you are always preoccupied. Take time to get reacquainted and find out what they like to do. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) If you truly loved a person then forgiving them would not be such a hardship for you, you would welcome him or her back with open arms. Working conditions improve to the point that you may decide to stay with the firm and pass up that new job offer. An evening of fun is in order. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You will be glad that you let a certain matter slide today since you find out the real truth and the real culprit later in the day. Friends may try to talk you out of a planned career move but this is something that only you can decide as you do know what is best for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Some type of get together is on your agenda for today and you will find yourself renewing old friendships with those you have not seen for many years. It will be fascinating to see how much everyone has changed. Domestic disputes can now be- come a thing of the past as you renew your vows. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You will be seeing old friends or relatives today as you receive some unexpected visitors. this will give you the chance to check out the news and let the children get acquainted with each other.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Take things one at a time and all will work out for the best for everyone concerned. Extravagance can cause you some financial headaches today if you are not careful to curb those urges. Put off any shopping as given your present mood, you are apt to buy- out the store.

Gemini This Week (May 21 - June 21) Many things are important to Gemini. Communication is of paramount importance, with regard to both clarity and the sheer volume of information you deliver. Considering where it occurs and how you feel its effects, during this pesky eclipse pattern, Gemini will find question-and-answer time less important. Plan on laying your head on your lover's shoulder. Plan on a quiet moment. Plan on doing something with your mouth besides talking. There are other forms of communication. Even a simple kiss and a gentle caress are a better start than trying to convey all that other stuff with words. Words may fail; actions deliver the goods.

Sagittarius This Week (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Slow down your frivolity-loving side for just a second. Take a deep breath and look at the long-range implications of what you suggest. Consider making a more lasting arrangement. The typical Sagittarius is more interested in a short-term situation than anything that might suggest commitment. With the recent spate of planetary activity comes a hint that this is exactly the time to consider settling down a little. Instead of being a carefree mess, leaping from situation to situation, consider the person in your sights as a possible long-term player. Commitment doesn't mean confinement.

Cancer This Week (June 22 - July 22) According to common wisdom, the best defense is a good offense. Likewise, the best way to have what you want is to go out and get it. The best way to deal with an unpredictable eclipse -- with all those emotions running hot -- is to go against conventional wisdom. Remove yourself from the security of your homestead. Try their place instead. Don't have a "their place" in your sights? Then get one now! Eclipse or no eclipse, the New Moon suits you fine; it's just a matter of starting something. By skipping the normal, conventional route you'd usually take, you get to skip the downside of the lunar phase and explore the benefits.

I am still here! My screen name is just different now... Kilauea83a for you

actually Kilauea83A... Wolfie, how about this one. Hmmm... Gemini This Week (May 21 - June 21) When it comes to love, Mars in Leo in your third house of communication speaks cleverly and playfully. Remember though, Gemini, it is also important to know when to be silent and let your partner upstage you. Your supporting role is to provide tender, loving care. This week offers on-the-job training. If you're looking for love, someone may stimulate your interest with direct communication on Monday, Thursday, or Friday. You may have to compete for this person's attention, but chances are good that you'll win. The other days this week could introduce too many secrets.

August 3, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Wear something with Red in it today. You're going to need to feel grounded. You'll be confronted on a past issue today you thought was done and over with. Stand your ground and make your case based on fact, not emotion. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A chance meeting with an old acquaintance will give you the chance to clear up some old misconceptions. Though it may be uncomfortable at first, you'll get the chance to listen an old burden off your shoulders. This will be a great healing experience for both of you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Don't be rushing too much today to get to where you're going on time - You'll actually fall further behind. It's better to be 10 minutes late than having to go home and get that important document your forgot. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Today would be a great day to surprise someone you love with a visit. Even though you don't know it, they have been hoping to see you for a while. Make sure not to go empty handed -- everyone loves a gift!

Wolfie! Finally one I can stomach!!! August 4, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) Set your sights on goals that seem almost impossible to achieve.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) This is not a good day to take time off from your business to spend in personal pursuits.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Today you should receive that all important call and you jump at it. You may be in a dead end job with no chance of advancement and have had your feelers out for a new position with an up and coming new company. This promises to be the way to go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Your ship finally comes in but be careful as it is not yet firmly tied to the dock. No one knows your business better than you do.

the traffic thing scares me.

Yeah, Wolfie, I can see why....!

Auggust 6, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) You may feel left out in the cold today. Don't make judgments about anything at the moment, because you're not seeing things clearly.

You may discover that someone else is really the vulnerable one and is projecting those feelings onto you. Take a breather. Avoid making judgments. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) You may want to run away today. Travel plans could suddenly fall apart, leaving you at loose ends. You may not be feeling up to par, either.

You could easily work out all the details on the job and with matters at a distance if you give events time to settle into a pattern of their own. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You could charm the birds out of the trees and discuss new contractual arrangements with ease today. Don't let worry about your financial security hold you back. You may hesitate to make waves, yet you can express ideas that will solve major problems for the people around you. You are under some pressure about a partnership now. You could feel unloved. Don't make judgments. Things can turn on a dime. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Get ready to go full steam ahead with major projects. If you're tired, however, take time to resolve the issues that seem to be draining your energy. Although your emotions relate to powerful projects with land, home, and property, you may also need some time to prepare for an onset of new activity by as early as next week. You'll have your nose to the grindstone after that. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) Discussions, contracts, and communications could lead to especially potent and dynamic activities. You could be dealing with major landed institutions, issues that relate to property, and anything that pertains to your home or lifestyle. These are your areas of power. Don't let momentary worry about your financial life prevent you from reaching out to distant shores and finding new outlets for your products. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) If you could only see your capabilities on a giant screen, you might even feel overwhelmed yourself. Just know that nothing is out of reach for you if your motivation is the good of humanity. Get involved in the communications fields or in some other area in which your ideas will reach many people. Don't let feelings of helplessness and inadequacy overtake you. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Your feelings are close to the surface today. Some fears or insecurities may arise to haunt you once again. If you are overcome with worry about other people, you may be helpless to make a dent in their problems. You may wish you could take some burdens on your own shoulders. Send positive thoughts and love to the people you are concerned about. You could feel neglected for the moment. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Situations with groups, friends, and associates could seem burdensome and restrictive now. Try not to decide what other people are thinking and feeling. Deal with your own disappointment over your financial situation. Your hopes may have been unfounded and a bit unrealistic. If you realize that pressures can eat away some of your energy reserves, you'll withhold judgment and get some rest and relaxation. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) You could experience a blow to your ego and sense of self today. If you have recently had great success in getting your needs met, and now you encounter some rejection, it could be through no fault of your own. Avoid shutting out the very people who are in a position to help later on. Your career and public duties could seem burdensome at the moment. Take a vacation. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) Partnership may not be what it's cracked up to be for the moment. Don't make judgments and overreact to the behavior of others. Onerous duties could cause people to react in ways you might not expect. Avoid feeling shut out or abandoned. You may not be comfortable with a situation at the base of your life. Your home life demands some revamping, renovation, and redoing. You could shift your focus to other things by next week. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Discussions may not be the way to proceed right now. If you have extra vitality, you could take on additional responsibilities for your neighborhood or extended family. Otherwise, it behooves you to recoup your own energy for the tasks ahead. Postpone conversations until you feel on top of all situations. Avoid worry about the fulfillment of contractual agreements. Someone could let you down for the moment.

I'm real, real busy with remodeling and rebuilding the Cedar Creek house right now, but I'll be set up again and more active in a couple of weeks. I'll have an internet connection there, hopefully, by the 18th.

August 7, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You're feeling very upbeat today. It's a great day to use your charisma to get things done. Watch for a Capricorn to bring you some great news about finances. You'll be sitting back at the end of the day thinking you're on top of the world. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius It might not be the best idea to procrastinate at work. Your boss is considering you for new responsibilities and you need to prove you can work through your boredom. Get that job done and you'll impress those around you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're going to find out there is something going on behind the scenes. While it may be initially upsetting to you, this needed to happen. The only way you can move on is to work through what's been going on and see if something new can come from this. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Even though you've been doing a lot of work lately, it's going to be worth it. You'll be pleasantly surprised - that someone you've been trying to get on your side finally recognizes what you've been doing.

oh no!

August 8, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Aries the ram may be climbing mountains that are a little too steep in places, but you will see the light today and head for the nearest plateau. A promotion at work is just what the doctor ordered to get you back on track. Plan a quiet evening at home and let your nerves settle down. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) An e-mail message may have you standing on your head in antici- pation of finally meeting this dream that you have been con- versing with for months. Be sure that when you do meet it is in a well populated place and not alone, until you are well acquainted with him/her. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Mountain climbing may not be this sea goats favorite past time so it is best not to go around making mountains out of molehills and asking for trouble and/or disappointment in your affairs. A coworker may exhibit some jealousy today as you collect kudos at work. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don't let wild imaginations run away with you today as you try to project what someone is likely to do or not do. Actions taken could be for several different reasons and you may not even be close to figuring this person out. Let your nerves relax and unwind as you wait for a more positive action or word. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) An overbearing person at work may have you so incensed today that you feel like just walking out on the job. Don't ever do that as your reputation follows you to the next one, be- sides, it is always easier to find another place of employ- ment when you are already employed. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Even though you are no longer a child you still feel like saying, "Mother, please, I'd rather do it myself" when a doting parent tries to help you out of a spot you are in. Being an adult, and sure of your own inner strength, you should use your strength to accept gracefully and not injure loving feelings. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A spouse may be pulling all the work load he or she can at the moment and you step forward to ease the burden to the best of your ability, and that is a considerable amount as you have abilities that have not even been tested yet, but your 'I can do it' attitude sees you through. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) While love is beautiful and grand it is still not the end all and the be all of your life, so if this person drives you to the brink of sanity or otherwise causes you much unrest you might want to meditate along the lines of: is it love, or is it codependency. You will see the differ- ence. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Family affairs take up most of your time and thought today as a young one may be ill and you will be involved in his or her recuperation process. Don't hesitate today to make room for an in-law who will stay with you for the duration of the illness and contribute professional care and advice. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Put off making any firm decisions today as the chances are good that you will not be able to make them stick, and if you have to back down, or change your position on certain matters, it could cause you a loss of prestige in the work place. Plan a quiet get together with friends tonight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Someone you have put off confronting lately finally steps forward and forces the issue, if you stand your ground and hold fast to your convictions you may be able to make this person see reason and logic in what you have accomplished without him or her. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Visitors from afar descend on you today and catch you unpre- pared, but you are the kind of person who excels when faced with a challenge and soon have everyone settled and happy. Children may not want to give up their room, even for a short term visit, but you find bribery works wonders.

August 8, 20000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) You pride yourself on your ability to get to the bare facts of a situation. Your research may lead to discussions about new contracts and better financial opportunities on your job. What you may not realize, though, is that you're being told only part of the truth. Some aspect of your new duties may include less than ideal situations. Ask plenty of questions, and be sure that all the cards are on the table. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Don't let yourself become depressed over partnership situations. You could feel dumped on, lied to, and generally unhappy in a career situation. You may discover some conflicts between your home and your public life. It is possible that you have taken on a bit more than you can chew. If you feel that your hands are tied, postpone judgments until you uncover some facts. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Loving discussions with a partner or mate could lead to more fulfilling decisions about your home life. You could agree to take your relationship to a new level. Make time to upgrade the decor in your home to create a more romantic atmosphere. You might be wearing rose-colored glasses in regard to travel arrangements and your public life. Be realistic about how new conditions will change your life. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You have the ability to create a fabulous aura of success in almost everything you do. Work conditions seem to take on a new glow as you plan for more ideal situations. If you can incorporate international deals into an existing framework, you may be able to write your own ticket. Just be sure you have all the facts and get all financial promises in writing. Don't hesitate to take action. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) Joint activity may not be what it appears to be. A partner may want to protect you from the cold, harsh truth. You may know only a part of the situation. Ask questions and conduct your own research to get to the bottom of the situation. You may have glamorized a person or projected your expectations onto someone else. You could suffer a financial setback unless you're careful to take positive action. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) You may want to hide your head in the sand and ignore warnings about work projects and expectations of financial reward. Someone may convince you that a gold mine is just ahead. If you do some research and confront the situation head on, you may discover hidden costs that will come out of your pocket. Be sure you're headed in the right direction. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) You may discover that financial pressures have taken some new twists and turns. Attempt to resolve any excess expenditure that involves real estate. You may feel temporarily overwhelmed by the responsibilities inherent in a new situation. You may assume that some creative work projects will be more successful than is possible. Don't hesitate to check out the facts. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Take care of your health. If you suffer a setback concerning your home or property, you may suffer a temporary loss of energy, drive, and determination. You could hesitate to take action for fear of dispelling the magic of your work and career potential. Consider a slight change of direction, but postpone action until you know where to go. Romance and partnership may bring unforeseen pressures. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Although you may appear to be perfectly happy and content on the surface, you could feel a deep sense of depression due to fatigue and pressure on the job. Your financial rewards may not be what you expected. Contractual matters need to be clarified. If you have postponed signing papers, delay action until you read the fine print. Hidden clauses could be expensive. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) A sudden surge of reality may overtake you. Expectations of better financial conditions may be further out of reach than ever. Don't be discouraged. If you plan to upgrade your lifestyle and living conditions, you may have to postpone your plans for a short time. Be sure you tune in to your ability to be resourceful. Where there is a will, there is a way. You can accomplish miracles if you try. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) You may be more of an idealist than you think you are. You could have expected that some communications with a partner or mate would be more idealistic than is possible. If someone punctures your fantasies, visions, and dreams, you'll be devastated. Take a more realistic, practical look at your present condition if you feel trapped. Your lifestyle and home conditions may not be ideal. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) It may seem that your hopes and dreams are not coming true. If you have to fight for what you want, you may not think it's worth the effort. Keep some of your fantasies to yourself while you direct your energy in an entirely different direction. You may have to deal with some competition in order to earn money. That may seem contradictory to what your dreams tell you to do. Find a balance.

August 11, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Someone isn't appreciating your hard work. He is taking advantage of your good nature and you need to set your boundaries.

Thanks! This Erythromycin is in such large capsules it should either kill or cure!!

August 11, 2000 Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 20) Keep your eye on your goals, but don't let anyone pull the wool over your eyes. Some things are not what they appear to be. Discussions may seem to go well, but after you leave the scene, you may wonder exactly what was said and agreed to. Get everything in writing that pertains to your work. That way, you'll be clear about your duties and what is expected of you. You may wish to hide your head in the sand. Taurus (Apr. 21 - May 20) Some conflict may exist between the reality of your home life and the romance and the dreams of your public life. You may have to focus on restructuring your financial situation. Some extra pressures and responsibilities require that you keep a sharp eye on expenditures. It could be difficult to tighten your belt, but with a goal in mind, it's well worth it. Focus on promotional efforts and products you can distribute. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Additional pressure seems to come with extra responsibilities. You may enjoy being needed, but be sure to take care of your own health and energy. Adopt a health regimen and, if possible, get extra rest. A shift in your economic status may keep your nose to the grindstone. Don't be disillusioned if you have to postpone some travel plans. Stay at home and deal with details first. Cancer (June 22 - July 22) It may be time to delve deeply into your subconscious mind to learn about your relationships. Some thoughts emerge when you're by yourself that make you realize your past mistakes. You can't seem to keep them buried. Your vision of a perfect life of travel and ease may need a reality check. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water, however. Keep your dreams in sight. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22) You have wonderful powers of observation and a great ability to put your finger on the mark. You may, however, be at odds with the vision your partners or mate have about financial matters. You are left to count the daily costs of new operations, whereas others are expecting a sea of gold to flow in. You may have to set the record straight without putting out the fire. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) You and your mate or coworkers may not come to an easy agreement now. You could think that other people are adopting an ostrich complex by hiding their heads in the sand. Situations at work conflict with the demands of your public life. It could appear that you have no one to help you with your responsibilities. All of your mental manipulation seems to be hidden by a calm, serene facade. Libra (Sep. 23 - Oct. 23) Conduct some market research into the viability of projects at hand. You may have fine creative instincts, but be at a loss as to how to put them across. Friends may offer advice that only wastes your time and energy. In order to avoid any legal problems, be sure you attend to the details of agreements. If your attention is on distances, leave someone in charge at home. Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You may encounter some exciting opportunities in the communications fields. Take advantage of unusual offers. You could plan to reach out to distances, change your lifestyle, and travel to distant shores. You could be so high on life, however, that you forget to count the cost to your public life and pocketbook. Although new projects sound good and seem to gather support, you need to look closely at the details. Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21) Matters at a distance may require your full attention. Discussions and plans you have for writing, communicating with family members, and creating a Utopian home life may fall by the wayside in the face of real situations. Legal matters, contracts, and your public life may require some research. If you need to qualify for some kind of certification, deal with the necessary details. Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) You have a greater sensitivity toward the trends of the times as the Moon goes through your sign. If you feel more exposed and vulnerable, count your blessings. Your partners and mate could quickly respond to that new open quality. You may discover that a whole new world is waiting if you can open your feelings to partnership opportunities. Your ride on cloud nine may also benefit from a close look at the cost. Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 18) Events in your life might seem more serene if you take time to create a romantic atmosphere. Some strife could exist in relationships, however. You can't walk away from the differences in the way two people process thoughts. You're the right-brain visionary whereas your partner or mate has an eye on left-brain, nitty-gritty details. This combination of talents could be a winning one. Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20) Keep some goals to yourself. Plant the seeds of fantasy the way you would plant a tulip bulb. Your dreams need some time to germinate, undisturbed, in a hidden place. When you least expect them, they'll emerge as full-blown flowers. The important thing is to plant them and leave them alone. You could create ideal conditions in your personal life by visualizing what you want.

August 12, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Be careful that you explain things today in a clear and lucid manner as people will tend to see something different in your views if you do not present it as you perceive it to be. Never brag about the things you have acquired even if you are justly proud of them. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You have an ambitious plan for home improvement, but remember that you are only one person and can only do just so much alone. This is a good day for working on your budget and get- ting all those bills up to date and ready for mailing as soon as the first of the month rolls around. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You have learned to look at the future in a realistic manner, and will act in your own best interests when a few friends try to get you to become involved in one of their escapades and since your last experience with them you wisely back out and opt for a quiet day at home. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Since this is Saturday and you may not have to work today, you should use this time to catch up on some badly needed sleep, as you have been burning the midnight oil for quite a while now and it is sapping your energy and drive which is very noticeable at work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) With a display of renewed optimism and courage you will be a shoo in for the first position that comes available, possibly later today, and you will always be a winner when you give free rein to these two traits of yours. You should guard against giving the wrong impression to a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Yes there is such a thing as an accident that is not your loved ones fault and this may be it so don't be so harsh in your judgment, and do be on hand to give out the hugs and reassurances. Today you may let an excellent financial opportunity pass you by unless you look sharp. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Work of a creative nature is indicated for today and you may wish to sign up for a course or even a seminar to help you toward your goals. Don't sign any legal papers without the advice of a lawyer, so if you must, wait on those until you can talk with one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't go off on a tangent today when everything does not go according to the way you want it to, you must realize that others may have made separate plans from you and do not wish to change them. Be congenial and let your love show through as you bow to their wishes. There, that didn't hurt too much, did it? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you place the emphasis on fun , and rightly so, con- sidering your wealth of choice when it comes to enjoyment. Try not to invite trouble today as everyone has a chance of being reasonable; you try to get each one to agree on a fun place to go; compromise another weekend to please some. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) If you combine your traits of aggressiveness with your natural charm today you will find yourself being a winner all day long. Today it would not be wise to 'shut another out' so that they cannot exercise their freedom of speech and express their opposition to your ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Avoid making any type of commitment without getting the advice of experts today, and don't jump rashly into some- thing that will cost you a bundle to get out of. Do not try as hard as you usually do to get attention today as the attention that you get may not be all that good. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You take a more active role in your groups activities and emerge the natural leader of the pack. Try not to get involved in anyone's disputes today even if it is only as a judge or a peacemaker as it could backfire and both sides will turn against you. A restaurant seems the log- ical choice for dinner.

August 14, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This is your day and tonight is your time to have a lot of fun! Consider having a get together with a few good friends. Weather permitting, a backyard Bar-B-Que sounds like fun then, on to the party. Enjoy it, the vacation won't last forever. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your friends and acquaintances ask more of you than you want to do. Feel free to say a firm no. Saying no is the best way of separating true friends from your basic hangers on. Later today your energies run high so go out and enjoy yourself but make it an early night. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) All things come to those who wait and you will find most of your answers by listening quietly. Quit worrying and take today to get out the old folding chair and lay out in the back yard with a magazine, a glass of tea, birds song, and you. Use this day off to refresh yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You may have to put off your plans because friends and family place heavy demands on your time and resources today. An adult son/daughter may have problems that only you can solve so be prepared. Late afternoon brings peace and quiet, take advantage of it by resting this evening. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Your sign is slated for some good news from afar today. A telephone call or letter from a good friend or family member you haven't heard from in a long time could cheer you im- mensely. Guard against doing anything rash today as this is not a good day to make a firm life decision. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Someone who has been false to you in the past is interested in getting back together again. Be careful. Caution is your keynote for today but with your sense of discernment you should uncover the truth and come through the ordeal total- ly unscathed. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Give it up and get away for a few hours. Your nerves and mental processes need that rest you have been promising yourself. Go boating, driving, or even hula hooping if you must, but get away from it all. Rainy day? If work won't allow it, catch up on your rest in the evening. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Today you will feel like snapping and stinging those around you who disagree with your ideas. Put the brakes on and look deep inside for the cause of your unrest. You are cap- able of finding, facing, and defeating any shortcomings on your part that is upsetting you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Fishing, boating, and swimming seems like a good idea if you can get away, if not try to be as pleasant as possible to those around you and make the day go smooth for you and everyone else, they will love you for it. Children are particularly sensitive to your moods today CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) After a hectic day or two you should take time to recharge your batteries. Go fishing, do a little yard puttering or take a leisurely ride in the country. Whatever you do make plans to get out and enjoy the healing warmth of Gods won- derful sunshine and fresh air. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You are going to need that persistent streak you have today to fend off those who would take advantage of your time and good nature. Don't be fooled by someone you have met recent- ly or by a friend who has played you false in the past. take this today to reevaluate your priorities. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today is just right for applying your energy and drive into getting ahead on your job or any endeavor where you can ap- ply the skills you have accumulated over the years of hard work you have put in. Luck shines on you today in affairs of the heart. You could persuade that special person.

August 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Slow down today and think things through so your natural ability to read people and situations will give you all the help you need to nip trouble in the bud. Your natural charisma keeps you in big demand to the opposite sex. Don't let that special person get away. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Don't be surprised if you make some new friends today who may turn out to be some of your best assets. Love is on your mind so if you haven't already and you're a guy, pop the question. If you're a gal you are going to feel like accepting. Both should be cautious but it looks good. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A spouse may be feeling neglected and unloved. This matter should get your immediate attention. Being a faithful, loving spouse can go far in convincing him or her to have confidence in your love. A teenager, yours or a relatives, may need to have a talk with you. CANCER (June 22-July 22) It's time to buckle down and take care of business. The enterprise you began a few months ago show signs of get- ting in high gear. Involve family and friends for a real- ly resounding success. For you employees today offers a good chance to "show what you've got". LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Catch up on chores you have been putting off, especially those "honey do" jobs. Cleaning out a garage or storage shed could unearth something special to you that you thought was lost and gone forever. Evening brings no major surprises so just relax those tired muscles and unwind. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Be careful you do not have a roving eye if you are already committed to that certain someone who would not be quite as forgiving as he or she would need to be. This is not a day to fritter away so buckle down to some hard work and get caught up with things that may have been let go while you played. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A former spouse may contact you today and the news may not be welcome but with your sense of security and self worth you can weather any situations this could bring into play. Children take up a lot of your time and thoughts today. Possibly in the area of support and medical care. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't be in a hurry to brush off children today. You may be surprised what they can teach you while you are teach- ing them. Be open for your own learning opportunities. Someone at work may be jealous of your position so take them under your wing and get them involved in their own projects. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Problems that pop up today is best put on the back burner for now so that you can handle everything with your usual energy and insight. Why not consider a trip to the moun- tains. Wrap yourself up in vacation plans and let the energy flow back into your body. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Friends could pop in on you today so be prepared to have an exciting time finding out the scoop on past loves and pals. Evening could bring some depressing news but with your strong sense of self preservation you are able to erase these emotions in no time. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A new love enters your sphere of influence today and this could be THE one, so pay attention to people today. This is also a romantic day for you married ones out there. Candy and flowers say a lot and, say, why can"t women give them too? PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) There could be some messages today that will upset you. If so you have the common sense and the spiritual in- sight to deal with it in an effective manner without hurting other peoples feelings. A grown child may need your help but you have to draw him/her out for they hesitate to burden you with it.

August 15, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You will have to hold up a good example today. There will be some gossip and rumor floating around you - rise about it. A Pisces will think you're being snobbish but others are wishing that the gossip would stop. You can set the trend by not listening to it. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You may be feeling like an outsider today. But have you thought about whether you have put yourself on the outside? You don't need to be standing on the sidelines anymore. Get out there and become part of the group! You'll feel much better about your co-workers and yourself if you do. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're going to feel a big transition today. It will transform a part of your life. While this may seem scary to you, it's actually going to be good for your personal growth. A Gemini will be a big part of this so trust their judgment. It will be good for you. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces The angels are giving you a round of applause! You have done something that is getting a lot of fanfare so be proud of what you have done. It's okay to let the boss rave about you. It has elevated you in others' eyes and in your own heart. Great job!

Oh my heavens!!! Wow!!! Wolfie!!! Barcleona is the same air sign as we are!!!

well, lay it on me, marcia!

I was expecting you to do so to me!!!

August 16, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You and a loved one may be making your moving plans today. Searching for the perfect home will take a lot of your time, but never fear, you will find it. Work will be hard pressed to keep your attention as your head is filled with financing possibilities. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Speaking with a financial advisor today could be to your advan- tage. Try not to go at things blindly, getting the facts first is your safest bet at this time. A teenager may need some extra attention now and you manage to find the time out of a busy day. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You and a partner will be in perfect agreement during the first part of the day but you will need to use a lot of patience with this person in the later afternoon. Don't accept things to be the truth that you hear from an unreliable source, check it out. CANCER (June 22-July 22) An agreement that you have been working for can be had today but only if you work extra hard at it; don't forget that flattery sometimes works.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You may come up with some creative ideas but they won't be appreciated if you are perceived of as letting your im- mediate work slide. Daydreaming is not all bad but it can be devastating on the job. Family and friends help you and the spouse celebrate your anniversary. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This is not a day that you should engage in risk taking, either financial or personal. It is a good day for mat- ters on the job, marital agreements, and working with a home based business. Children may pop up with a problem but you solve it with your logical approach. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is the day for you to buy one or two lotto tickets, take a trip on a sight seeing boat, or some other thing that you don't ordinarily do, you could get a surprise. Your means of expressing yourself today will carry you a long way in your chosen field. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't believe things you hear unless the one doing the telling can also do the proving. Second hand news is worthless and inflated. A rumor that has been designed to break up your relationship with another person is just that, a rumor. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You can have fun shopping with a friend today if you just relax and let yourself. This is not the day when you should give anyone the benefit of the doubt as you are under a deceptive trend and it would be best to check out every- thing you hear. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A raise may be in order for you as this is a good day for applying that recent knowledge you acquired for updating your job skills and thereby impressing your boss. Good news arrives after dark. Relax and enjoy your night out. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Pay no attention to a certain rumor that is going around about another friend, there is nothing to it. Listen to someone who knows more about computers than you do, he/ she will not steer you wrong and the advice could save you a lot of money on the purchase. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Got your eggs all in one basket this morning? Good. You will be asked to give an early presentation and you should be prepared. The chances are good that this can lead to that better position that you have been wanting for quite a while.

August 16, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Someone will show you what is really inside you today. You move past protecting yourself from others and really let yourself shine through today. Don't be afraid to show a different side of yourself - others want to get to know that side! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Make sure to pay attention to your significant other today. They need your support today. They are feeling quite run down and need some TLC. It might be a good day to send a gift or give them a backrub when they get home. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're trying to juggle too much. While right now it seems like it is under control, something else, probably small in nature, is going to come into your life and spin it out of control. Take the steps now to clear what you don't need in your life so you can feel lighter. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces It may not be easy today - especially since you're going to have to go head to head with someone. This woman doesn't understand you nor want to so make sure you have all your information with you and ready to go. The angels are supporting you in this so take a deep breath and present your case.

250 pounds lighter, actually!!!

*ROTFLMAO*

Oh wolfie, I am crushed! (read your email)

August 17, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You feel like you're coasting today. Your routine is very easy and you're getting through tasks with ease. Just don't get to comfortable. A challenge is coming your way so be prepared to handle it. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You're going to be learning something new today. Make sure to pay attention and take careful notes. While you think this new information isn't going to be significant to you and you won't be using it, it actually is going to come back to you later. Be ready to implement. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Have you been laughing a lot lately? If not, why not? You have a great sense of humor about you and you could have a great time with others if you let yourself. Get together with friends and have a good time. You need a stress reliever and this is it! WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Be very careful of those who are saying they are on your side. They have their own motives and will not be in your corner if push comes to show. Keep your guard up today and watch for the person hiding behind the mask.

August 17, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Hasty judgments you've made in the past prove to be wrong. A long lost friend shows up on your doorstep and you roll out the welcome mat.

Stay respectful, but adhere to your ideas as they are the reason you were hired in the first place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Although you may be single, you also have to play by the rules and not pursue someone who is already committed to another.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Your love life should be noticeably picking up (provided you are single). Married people will feel more drawn to- wards a loved one. You will do well today at work, and will abound with positive new ideas. Be careful that those around you do not start to grow resentful or jealous.

A flurry of weekend plans getting ready for that magical Monday morning. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone who blamed all their troubles on you in the past has seen the light of truth, and now knows that it wasn't you who authored his/her woes.

Give yourself a well earned reward and buy something decadently expensive just to please yourself. Be sure to take along your other 'half' and buy him/or her something just as expensive, but--- (maybe on sale?). SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You feel out of sorts today due to the actions of an uncar- ing relative who may not show any concern for you as he/she acts put out because you cannot do your usual chores for them. This opens your eyes and you put a stop to them, permanently. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Your hat in the political arena could cause quite a stir at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A good friend will tell you her secrets today and she is count- ing on you to keep them secret so be careful that you don't spill the beans to another 'friend' and cause unnecessary trouble for this person who trusts you so much.

Wolfie!!! We are stuck with a "family member" tomorrow! Again!!!

August 21, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A few good ideas from a good friend who has been keeping an eye on your project, or home based business, may be just exactly what you have been looking for. When this person starts to talk about it be sure to listen as you will only get the one chance before he/she clams up. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) An unexpected guest shows up out of the blue and you find your- self pressed for time and space but you do not let this daunt you as you make room for one more. Children may feel out of sorts and a little jealous today but you deal admirably well with them. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Your mind will be on research today and you find you have a brainstorm about it that turns it into a new inspired form of work, or method of research, that will get you to your goal faster. Talking with project managers will be helpful for you today. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Dealings with the public is favored today as your charisma is showing, and you will have a greater response to your ideas than you have had in the past. You will have a small domestic dispute in the evening after a rough day at work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Do not take everything you hear today as literal truth, pretend you are from Missouri, ( show me attitude), as there is a good chance of deception in your affairs now. This is also not a good day to lend money as you may never see it again. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This appears to be your day for inspiration, creativity, and even contracts as your ability to express yourself is at its optimum today. Talking with financial managers and partners are also highly favored at this time. A family conference is called and you get your two cents worth in. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is not a good day at all for gambling pursuits as there could be losses in risk taking for you. Domestic activity should be of great interest to you tonight as your spouse may have quite a surprise for you. Don't faint! SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Creative, and inspired ideas are yours in the afternoon but daydreaming at work is not recommended today as this could possibly cause you to have an accident if you work around any type of machinery by becoming absent minded at the wrong time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Love is in your heart, but down to earth basics is in your mind; a domestic dispute has the wheels turning but you act in a practical manner in making up with your spouse. express the love and not the mind if you hope to win this one. A raiseor bonus could be yours on this day. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today your partner agrees with you and you finally go ahead and implement the changes you knew would be necessary and had ready to go. This would be a good day to take financial risks, as everything holds the possibility of gain today when it comes to money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Be careful you do not overdo the spending and max out the new credit card you just received. If you do max it out now, it becomes just another monthly debt and you've lost the advan- tage of having it. A good move at work puts you on top. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) One of those rare days when you can call your life and your time your own and everything seems to click into place for you. You will find it easy today to finalize plans and agreements you have been involved in and even the children are acting like angels.

Watch out, World...here I come!!!

August 21, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You're feeling scattered today. It's almost like you are walking around in a fog. It would be a good idea to take things slow today. Don't make any hasty decisions -- you'll forget to take an important fact into account. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Today is going to be hectic because you are one of the few people at work who can get things done. Even though things need to get out, make sure you double check your work. You don't want a boss to see typos. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Do not procrastinate on a project. You'll get a surprise request to see what is going on with it before deadline. Make sure you have some work to show them. Your work will give your boss and new idea and move the project into a new direction. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Take the time today to make sure your files are backed up today. Your computer is going to be acting funny and you don't want to loose any data. If you don't, you're going to loose a lot of information and hard work on a project.

Still trying to figure out who my boss is... I know who thinks he is... Hah!

Sorry... Lapse of professionalism there. It is lonely here tonight!

Impossible to forget!

well, i got a lot of work done today!

August 22, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) It is perfectly natural to feel an attraction for a person that you were once head over heels in love with, but just because you must now work together on a family situation try not to make the same mistake twice. It would be best not to pursue these feelings. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today is just one of those days where everything seems to go right for you and you couldn't lose if you tried. This could be a good day to try your hand at a few bingo games; don't go overboard as it could change at any time and you would become the big loser. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Your true love returns to you with love and forgiveness in his or her heart. A big kiss and an "I'm sorry" will mean a lot. A resolution to change your ways will keep you true from here on out as you now know who you want. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your charisma sees you through your trying day with most of the problems on the inside and not obvious to the world. You will see the right way to go to the heart of the matter and win this round as well as get your true love back. Fol- low your psychic faculties to the limit. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is not a good day to let go of the reins of control on anything. It is a day best spent keeping a low profile to the world. Not that anything awful seems slated to happen to you in the duration of your day, but today could be your day to fall under 'Murphy's law'. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Hang out at the water cooler today and try to keep an ear open, you will be surprised at the helpful information that you may be able to pick up in this way. Maybe even a winning tip. Parties are great for some today but you would do better reserving them for the weekend. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Unsettling news today may not be the best way of letting you know where you stand on certain family issues, stand up for your rights; if you don't, nobody will stand up for you; you could give the impression of not caring enough. Friends are supportive of your feelings. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Grabbing the brass ring today will be easier if you prac- tice teamwork on the job. That way everyone has an equal chance, in order for your team to do well you must use those leadership qualities that you are so well known for. Don't let anyone get you down today as there is always one in every crowd. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Bringing your work up to date and catching up on those back orders are of great importance to you today as you have put them off until the desk is full. If your business has grown sufficiently it would be a good idea to invest in a full time employee. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You can take it or leave it alone, and today you choose to leave a certain thing alone no matter how much you do not wish to. In the long run you will see that this is the smartest move you have ever made. A business rival is close on your heels now; better step up the pace. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) People may think you are a little off your rocker today but you have your own ideas about how things should be done and these ideas are not along the conventional way, pay no attention to the 'sleepers' as some people are the wide awake inventors of the future. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You are much harder on yourself than others could ever be, but soon your spirit shines through the gloom and takes you to the winners circle. Try to forgive the little mis- take someone made today for it is too small to let it cause you any unrest.

Oh Wolfie, what does that mean?!

August 22, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn A new opportunity is presented to you by someone you least expect. It may look like the perfect opportunity, make sure to find out what the motives are of the person presenting it to you. In the long wrong, who will this actually benefit? FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius An unexpected social event presents itself to you. While you don't have the energy to meet new people, put your best face forward. You'll have a great time and it will help you earn points with an influential Scorpio. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra While it's always nice to make yourself feel better, don't go overboard. If you do that, you're going to create a bigger problem for yourself. Something unexpected will come up and you won't have the resources to take care of it if you do. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A decision comes down that disappoints your today. Handle it with grace. This is actually going to benefit you in the long run but you are going to have to stay where you are for a while. Don't be bitter about what happens -- you're going to benefit from this.

huh? and who is my true love?

*grin* was wondering that for myself, too... August 23, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) If he is really your friend then he would not care how much money you have in the bank or how much you paid for your new car; a true friend cares about your health and your happiness. Jealousy in all its forms smells bad; you'd do well to drop that 'friend'. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Be a good listener today and you will learn things that you may very well need to know to survive the rat race. Gossip, while never pretty, can be pretty informative right about now. A child may be on the verge of getting into trouble, talk to him. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Too many worries over the things you have no control over can make you depressed and gloomy, accept that there are some things beyond even your control and go on with your life. A family friend offers you some very good advice and you realize it is good advice to take...eventually. CANCER (June 22-July 22) A loved one is about to make you proud of him or her as the accomplishment by him or her may seem small in their own eyes the accolades are not. In time even the worst domestic disputes are cleared up and you will see yours begin to wind down today. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) You feel like running around in happiness, because your marriage proposal has been accepted and you are ecstatic. Friends give you a party and everyone you know turns out for the fun. Make it an early night; work tomorrow. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A demanding boss may not make for a pleasant day but you manage to do what is expected of you and then some. This person may not be with the company much longer and this could have a lot to do with his attitude, remember, all things come to he who waits. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Your people skills are excellent as you are the one sent to solve the problems today. You have proven your ability so many times that now you will get the raise in salary and name to the position that you have been occupying all along. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A new partner puts the life back in your business and there may even be a romantic interest attached to this enterprise. A good day to be careful on the highway if you have to be out and about, so use extreme care when driving. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) It is best if you meet your problems head on today and talk to the people who have been causing you so many problems, The situation will not go away by itself and they will be more apt to listen to you if you show yourself to be honest and above board with them. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) There is no need to put others down or cause them aggra- vation in order to get things to go your way, a quiet dignity is what suits you best and when you apply it you usually get you own way. Financial institutions are easier to deal with today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Family and friends need your companionship and you take the time to be with them. Don't get angry with some co- workers as they are not yet experienced. A recent sur- prise for you has you tuned into the academic life and your efforts will be rewarded. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Try to be very careful about whom you play mind games with today as you could find yourself the loser. A new love may not go for the hot and cold treatment and you can scare this one off before you know it. A message from afar brings you some good news.

Wolfie, bet the advice you get is the same as I get...*grin*

August 23, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Have you been shopping for new clothes lately? You should buy some new outfits soon. You're going to need to upgrade and update your wardrobe because you'll be in a position where you'll have to dress up more often. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Have you been neglecting the household chores? It might be easier to sit on the couch but take some time today to get the little things done. An important lost item is going to be found today. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Laughter is the best medicine. You're a natural comedian so making someone laugh is an effortless for you. You'll find that you'll feel better too. Your boss is taking notes on your effort to be a team player and help others. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Even though you are down, give yourself a pat on the back today. It's true that things wouldn't be as efficient or run as well without you. People know what you do, even though you don't toot your own horn.

yeah, esp. when everytime i turn around she's asking me to help someone else like i have nothing to do. that's ok, i don't mind helping people.

*grin*... Especially some people... You are not only helpful but kind, loyal, tustworthy...(well, two out of three...)*Hugs*

two out of three?

4 out of 3 I meant to write... August 24, 2000 (Happy Birthday, John in Toronto!) ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) With most of the time consuming planning, invitations, shopping, and so forth out of the way you are squared away and ready for the wedding. Take care today that you do not forget to send someone an invitation, it could hurt that persons feelings badly. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Your day will be filled with joy and laughter today as the new arrival has the whole family in a happy dither. The boss is so pleased for you that he gives you the day off to enjoy the advent of the new member of the clan. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) This is not a good day to make plans of a permanent nature, or make a major purchase as the stars show a possible loss for you in this area. A spouse has his, or her, heart set on doing something special today and you give in although it is not your idea of fun. CANCER (June 22-July 22) If travel is on your agenda, be very careful. you have an enjoy- able day as old friends and rarely seen family spends the day just dropping by. You could run into employee problems at work as you make up the schedule, you know you can't please them all but you try. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A good day at work is topped off with an excellent evening with the family, friends and relatives. You must keep your mind centered on your work during office hours to avoid any slip up that could cause you a loss of prestige and position. Let the office clown, clown alone. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) You find your time is in short supply between working on one project at home for yourself, and another at work for your employer so this is a good time to enlist some in-house help. Today could be very hectic for you today as the boss chooses your office to hold the annual meeting. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Love is in the air as your sweetheart sets the date for the wedding and you are very happy over this. This is a good day at work for you as there is a distinct chance of a raise when the boss hears your plans. Pay close attention to a child when it tells you something. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A lot of you will be traveling today and the since the summer- time traffic is really bad drive carefully. Today at work will be good as there is not much backed up to do and this gives you plenty of time to take care of personal things you have had to put off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You will spend most of your day on a certain project as you feel it must be just right to present to the boss in the afternoon. You may get a surprise today as you talk to a relative and find out that you are both planning to start the same kind of business. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Problems at work may be getting on your already frayed nerves, and you should make yourself stay in your quite, calm center so none can knock you off balance and cause a threat to your career. Loved ones may also be argumentative, but a little compromise should save the day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Don't let anger and resentment spoil your fun today as you will be exposed to people who are pessimistic at the best, don't try to cheer them up, just leave them be; they like it they way they are. A good friend needs you so don't throw this person out with the others. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A small problem could arise today for you but nothing that you can not handle with ease, if you don't let it get to you. Stay calm, and collected, and you will be able to handle it all. A loved one may have you pulling your hair out now but that too will come out good at the end.

August 24, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn While you think your day isn't going to well, a family member calls you with some good news today. This news will lift a worry off your shoulders and make you feel better. This has been a project that has been a long time in the works and it has finally paid off. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You'll be winning friends and influencing people today. However, you will find that a coworker is going to get jealous of this. Don't be surprised if you heard then talking about you behind your back. No worries, though, everyone sees through this person. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You're having concerns on how your development is going. Express these concerns to a higher-up today. You've been doing the right thing by taking initiative to ask questions and learn new things. A Leo will reassure you. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You will be in a meeting today that will feel rather tense. You have nothing to worry about -- you have all the information that is needed. A Libra will be upset at you because you upstage them but that's their fault.

Watch out, Wolfie!!!

well, i wonder....the am has no plans that i'm aware of, oh, unless it's......

*grin* August 25, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Guard against being a pest today as others may not want to do the same things you want to. Take the time to think out your actions before you carry them out. A new employee surprises you by helping you out with a good idea. Before committing to buying anything large, be very careful. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Do not "cast your pearls before swine" today, in other words, talking about philosophy to those who would mock you may cause an inner emotional crisis. Luck is in the stars for you, but luck of a more spiritual nature. Use your intuition today when meeting someone new. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Someone you know may be in danger and you can clearly see the problem and this makes you able to help this person; do not hesitate to assist him or her. Your financial life is looking up today as a loan you have been looking for comes through. Love is in the air today for some of you single Capricorns. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Being honest with a loved one about an indiscretion will be the best way to solve your mutual problem. The chances of saving the relationship is very high if you are calm and reasonable in your approach. Life seems to be moving at a faster pace, and you need to rise to the challenge. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Stay in control today, as you do not want to aggravate or offend others, especially in the work place. Your psychic energies are high but more along the lines of being able to convince others to see your way as the best way to do something. Use this power sparingly. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Your love of fine things is more obvious than ever today, as you may turn into a spendthrift buying new things for your home. Do not make a loved one mad at your extravagance. Love is in the air for you singles in a big way. For the married, a time to reaffirm your vows. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Librans are in a state of psychic awareness today. You can almost finish the sentences others speak to you. Luck is also in the air for you and you may find things falling in- to place nicely. Do not put things off today that needs fin- ishing, it may be your undoing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Be careful not to step on too many toes today as some of the foot owners may step right back on yours! Your ideas are sharp and bright, and you are about to get noticed. Be careful not to take the credit from those who hire and fire, they will resent it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You get a good idea for a new project, but thinking it over you reject it. Re-think it. Some ideas are worth a lot that at first may seem un-workable. This is the perfect day to send flowers and candy to a loved one who may be feeling a little depressed. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) this is a good day to look into buying that new home. Your powers of charisma and intuitiveness are at their peek. This will make it hard for anyone to get one up on you. You may want to try your hand at investing as well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be longing to move back to your old home town but this may not be the best idea. You must remember that the past is behind you and the future is where you want to turn your eyes. You truly can never go "back". Your best friend is preparing to make a big mistake...help him or her. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today may bring on a desire for change and these changes will be reflected in your every move. The future is very bright for you so be very careful that you do not breach your own ethics today as this could have disastrous ef- fects on your overall standing.

August 25, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn You are going to be the hero today. A crisis at work will be alleviated because of your quick thinking. Not only are you going to help solve the problem but you'll relax and reassure everyone in the process. An Aquarius is thoroughly impressed. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You hate running late but there is nothing you can do about it today. Since it's out of your hands, take a few deep breaths and try to be calm. You'll get to your destination eventually -- it'll be better to present yourself calm than frantic. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra There is a lot of gossip floating around the office today. You should probably set the record straight before things get out of hand. Be diplomatic, however. If this elevates, you don't want to be eating your words. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Brainstorm today on how you can reach some of the goals you're been working on. It's great to talk about it but now is the time to do it. Create a plan to get the resources you need to get things moving -- you need to get moving.

why were capricorns mentioned in our reading, marcia? and today went great!

only know one capricorn - MIKE!!!

September overview The beginning of the month find the Sun in Virgo and Mars in Leo. Following their prescribed and ordained routes, the end of the month finds these two objects progressed to the Sun in Libra and Mars in Virgo. Jupiter is slowing down to a crawl as he is "just fixin'" to go retrograde, but he doesn't actually turn around until the very end of the month. In the middle of the month, however, stuck at the gateway into Gemini, Saturn does go backwards. Of course, relative to our home here on Earth, Saturn's movement is minimal. Venus swings all the way through Libra this month, as does Mercury. Wonder what all this means to you? Secure, online ordering is available on the web site, get your own chart done there: http://www.astrofish.net Aries : I'm looking at a series of conflicting prognostications right now, and I figure I can boil it all down to one word: romance. Don't get confused by romance and relationships this month. In fact, a little extra care would be useful with handling romantic interludes, your feelings, that hot burning passion, and all the stuff the romantic poets write about. There is one Aries who will reply to me, and pointedly direct my attention to the fact that there is no romance in that one Aries life right now. But other than that one person, the sign as a whole is in good standing. But I would caution you to approach this romance with a degree of trepidation. As much as you want to fling yourself into this burning BBQ pit of "love," I wonder if you don't want to back up, and perhaps grab a pair of oven mitts -- asbestos lined oven mitts -- to handle this emotional firecracker. There's a good chance that you might just forget everything else, and focus on one person a little too much. That excludes the other stuff which is happening, and you might miss something important. So do your best to get a decent set of BBQ tongs, if not heavy oven gloves, to handle this moment of fiery passion. It will keep you from getting blistered by the heat. Taurus : This is only a test, not the real event, but this month, this time in your life, it has a chance to give you an overall flavor about that which is important in your life. If you're on a fairly decent track, if you're moving forward at a pace that is comfortable for you, if things are where they are supposed to be, then this little test called, "September, 2000" will present no challenge. But I seriously doubt that we are all on a pathway, a destiny in life that is so clear. So get ready to take the test. Get ready to see if you are really sure about what it is that you're doing in life. It's like trying out a new fishing lure, you've read about it in the magazine -- this new design of lure is supposed to work wonders. You're up before dawn, and down at the lake, boat's in the water, and you're ready to try your new piece of equipment. After close to an hour of no luck, you switch back to old faithful, and you get a strike on the first cast. That's the hint with this month, you would surely berate yourself for years if you don't try that latest new gimmick, but if it doesn't work, don't be afraid to go back to the old ways which have been proven to work over time. Gemini : You've been warned about what is going on this month for some time now. It's not like this isn't some new concept. But there are a couple of astrological events that need to be looked at. One of them is Saturn, who stands at the doorway to Gemini all month. First he puts one foot in the door, then he retracts that foot. What he's doing is calling your attention to an area of your life that needs some fairly drastic changes. We can make this easy, or we can all struggle with it, but Saturn is merely letting you know that he's there, and he's going to eventually force some change. Make it as easy or hard as you desire. Then there's Jupiter, and you've had a good taste of what he can do. Finally, there's a strange little hint that comes in sometime this month, and that's a good little hit from Venus. The planet of love, though, is not nearly as strong as the other movers and shakers in the sky, so it's up to you to maximize what Venus does. Sometimes, you feel like you're not getting ahead when, in fact, you are moving forward. That's what this month is about: realize what gains you are making, and use them. Don't belabor the energies which seem to be expended on useless attempts to get ahead. Cut your losses and move on. Cancer : The world is supposed to be a better place by now, but things in the Cancer camp of life just don't seem to be getting a lot better. It's as if there's a slow and gradual downhill slide that's going on this month. While it is certainly not disastrous, it does feel like there's a problem or two. One or more of my dear Cancer friends will write to me this month and ask, "Is Mercury Retrograde again?" No, that's not the case in this situation. But the effects of the month are going to feel a little bit like that. Mercury is communication, and that's when travel plans, arrangements to meet friends, and fishing parties all go awry. That's why it's going to be assumed that it's Mercury causing the mayhem. It's not, because the problem is associated with other signs and other planets, but for the sake of argument, you can pretty easily assume that it's a Mercury type of downhill slide. Not bad, just not the greatest. And it's small errors that cause the consternation on your fevered Cancer brow -- not big problems. That sort of way of looking at the month should give you some hope, too, because it's not one large problem you're dealing with, just a series of minor irritants. It's like sugar ants in the cupboard here -- no easy solution, but a little bit of extra kitchen hygiene keeps them at bay. Leo : The parties are long over. There is the State Fair coming along, and maybe it wouldn't hurt to start preparing yourself for that. I hope you get the idea. Last month was a little rough, but this month proves to be a lot smoother. It's not with out a timely interruption or two, but as a whole, it slides by on a much more predictable track. You have the last degrees of Leo being "leaned on" by Mars. But Mars, especially in the late degrees of Leo, can actually heat up a few things in a nice way. Mars will lend you the energy necessary to prepare for the big State Fair weekend (in Texas, the State Fair is a big event), and you're going to want to marshal together your Leo energies so you can be ready for this kind of party. There's a lot of ground to cover for this big deal coming up at the end of the month, so I suggest that you start getting ready now. One of the all time favorite past times is "cotton candy" and it's intoxicating smell will invade your Leo's fine tuned sense of smell by the end of the month. That's an olfactory hint about what's to come. Don't let your ire get up in the first part of the month because you've got a chance for all of this work out in the last part of the month. Virgo : The better part of this month has a certain "Virgo twang" to it. After my extensive travels throughout Texas, and even to parts beyond the borders of the great state, I've been able to delineate the subtle changes in language from place to place. Portions of West Texas have a slightly more nasal version of the accent as compared to the lilting, almost Southern accent in deep East Texas. Then there's the really cobbled stuff in Central Texas, and portions of South Texas include more than a fair share of Spanish (really Mexican) accents. As long it's mostly a Virgo birthday month, no discussion about verbal communication would be complete without suggesting that there is a certain Virgo-sound to this month. The problem is making sure that the Virgo noise is not what many astrologers euphemistically refer to as a "Virgo whine." As long as you've got the influences that you do, make sort of joyful noise instead of what everyone else expects out of you. Surprise them all this month -- besides, you should have something to shout about. Libra : The duration of this month sees Venus, the planet of peace, harmony, all things beautiful -- in your sign. Venus is a good girl, sometimes. In a certain school of very arcane astrology, though, Venus is treated as a Warrior Archetype. I'm not naming names, but that fits with a certain ex of mine, that's for sure. So as long as you've Venus traipsing all through your sign, and even though Venus is usually considered a minor planet, I wonder if her spectacular side-effects are not going to be felt by my sensitive Libra friend? This is a time for Peace and Harmony. I just hope that it's amongst friends, and it's not my cat who tries to harmonize. While it may be music to her ears, some folks would suggest that it's just caterwauling. That brings us to a point that I would also suggest that you consider this month: as much as you feel like you're making peace where there was nothing but trouble and strife, consider how your appearance is being perceived by the opposing forces. Under your Venus influence, you might figure that you sound typically Libra-like, and rather good. But like my cat, the noise other folks -- the neighbors -- are hearing might be received a little different. Scorpio : This is the weird time of the year for Scorpio, and this strange flavor to the month just gets more and more bizarre as the month progresses. Two opposing forces are at work. One is busy uncovering various nefarious parts of the deep Scorpio psyche, stuff which laid dormant and untouched for years. The other side is a light and airy feeling that everything is wonderful in the world. On one side of your monthly astrological coin, it's a mighty Phoenix Bird, rising from the ashes of the long forgotten past. On the other side of the same astrological coin, it's the tail of that same bird, and it's down into the stuff from the tail of that bird where you're going to have a dig a little. So flip the Scorpio astrology coin this month, heads or tails, it still comes up with the same message. The good news is that by the very end of the month, you're going to be feeling like you are, indeed, one of this Scorpio archetypes so often battered about: you will be feeling like a Phoenix. Of course, I wonder if it's a pile of ashes or if it's a pile of some other organic material that you're rising from, but either way, you do get a chance to shine before the month is up. And yes, it does get a little bit better, each day -- the further Mars gets from Leo, the better you feel. Sagittarius : We need to examine relationship, and I am not referring to romantic relationships, either. In fact, the question of, "love - honor - cherish" should be swept from your mind this month. You put a deal together. It looks wonderful. Things are great. It falls apart. You stack it all back together again, and it looks like it will come off, and then you hit a serious snag. It reminds me, due to the relative position of Jupiter, Mars and the Sun, it so reminds me of getting out on the lake and digging through my tackle, trying to locate a lucky fishing lure. No matter how carefully I packed, I couldn't find it. It just wasn't there. Not willing to give into the frustration, after half an hour of digging though the tackle, I decided to use something else. It worked just fine that morning. When I got back to Shady Acres Trailer Park, though, I looked for that lucky lure again. It was right in the top tray of the tacklebox. The Sagittarius month is like that -- if you can't find what you are looking for, then be willing to improvise. You might surprised at the good results, especially in the middle of the month. Capricorn : I've aligned your various charts for this month, and I still keep getting good news. It's not like this month is going to be absolutely problem free, but there's a lot more good stuff than bad stuff. There's also a difficult pattern of change which is blowing on the cosmic winds this month. The real problem with this changeling burst of air is that it's not a problem for my fine Capricorn friend. It is a problem for some other people though, and sooner or later, this month, you are going to encounter this. It's a rough spot in an otherwise smooth period of time. It's not a bad rough spot, not if you wear a decent plastic coated surface. For you, this change is going to be affected by other people. And I'm not one to foretell doom and gloom, but there's a big rift which might open up at work. This is the month when you're going to be called on to stitch this back together because in the face of adversity, no one can be as cool and calm as you are. Aquarius : The month doesn't neatly divide itself into sections, but there is an increased emphasis on certain events, and as long as we are dealing with a Virgo time, you're going to find yourself dealing with messy arrangements in your private social life. Relationships become a central focus as the month starts. In fact, these relationships (occasionally lack of relationships) becomes a centerpiece on your Aquarius table. Of course, to most normal signs, the term "relationships" implies "romantic relationships" and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest that you Aquarius types are any different in this respect, at least, not this month. However, I would urge a different definition for the terms, if only for right now. There's a great day coming, and that's going to hit around the end of the month. Just exactly when? I'm not too worried because I will look forward to an ecstatic Aquarius e-mail, sometime around then. But getting to the end of the month while avoiding the "relationship" trap might be a little bit of a challenge. Pisces : I could address some of the planets' big movements, but there's a very subtle "feeling" afoot in Pisces right now, and due to my understanding of the sensitive nature of the Pisces psyche, I figure this is what needs to be looked at. It has a lot to do with both Jupiter and Saturn. Saturn was very useful in old time astrology because he was easy to predict with. And if you're willing to listen to the mystical, metaphysical music of the spheres at this point, you can avoid some really serious frustration later. Nothing is worse than showing up for a fishing date and not having a pole to fish with. What's up with that? In order to prevent this from happening to you, a little bit of thoughtful preparation is in order. This month, you get the slightest hint, the barest little echo, the smallest suggestion of what needs to be changed in your life. You even get a viable opportunity to make it better, too, but, once again, that idea of preparation is in order. The biggest problem with this month is that this is only a slight influence. It's not like it's a really big one, but if you are able to learn to pay attention to the more subtle hint this month, you can make some great gains in the very near future. Consider it advance warning information. Or a better astrological weather forecast.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Small problems at work may be getting on your frayed nerves, and you should make yourself stay in your calm center so none can put you off balance and cause a threat to your career. Loved ones may also be argumentative, but a little compromise should save the day. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your day will be taken up with plans for your wedding, and you will spend most of your week on this project as you feel it must be just so since you plan on doing this just once so you do it right.Out of town, late arrivals will not give you pause, as you have wisely planned ahead for just such an occurrence. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A good day at work is topped off with an excellent evening with the family, friends, and relatives. Although this is your favorite pastime you must keep your mind on what you are doing during office hours to avoid any slip up that could cause you a loss. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) At work you should delegate someone to complete some of your projects that are in danger of getting stale, as you find your time is in short supply between working on one project at home for yourself, and another at work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) If travel is on your agenda today, be very careful, but those of you who plan to spend your vacation at home will also have a very enjoyable time as an old friend drops by today after work, and gives you all the news. You can't please everyone but you try, even offering to take on someone elses respon- sibility. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Watch your spending habits today. This is not a good day to plan, or make a major purchase as the stars show a possible loss for you in this area.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Having received the greatest gift in the world, you burst with joy, making today the happiest you have ever had.

The rest of the family will help you follow through on the grounding if you do it sensibly. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Someone you like very much may be asking a bit much with this latest request. If you always smooth the way for this person then he/she will never become responsible for his or her actions. There is a time and place for everything and if you think about it, this is not the time. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Letting a loved one know that they are free to handle their own life and walk their own path will sometimes become the cement needed to keep everything running smoothly on the home front.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A commitment that you have with a friend over a business matter may fall flat on its face today as the friend signals that he or she is ready to back out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Strongly independent you've been called and today is the day you should let this independence work for you against those who would keep you from realizing your dreams.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Collaborating with someone today on work of a creative nature will be very rewarding for you. This is a good day to be skep- tical of rumors as everything you hear today may not be the truth. Check out a good deal, or a great offer carefully be- fore investing your hard earned money. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Your work of a creative twist will be greatly inspired today as almost everything you see seems to form a new idea until you are brimming over with them. Put them to use and they could earn you a raise. Take no financial risks today and watch luxury spending.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You are unusually moody and distracted today as you have 'one of those days'.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A serious marital dispute that arises today will not be solv- able in one day but you will have a handle on it before the sun goes down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Don't overload yourself with extra jobs today, and don't volunteer for things if you really don't have the time to do them; slapdash through your work will not earn any credits with the boss, and all that volunteering will only make you look over anxious.

FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius A new opportunity is on the horizon. Don't be so stubborn that you let it pass by. Your pride has nothing to do with this -- you've earned this, even though it has been a long time coming to you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Today would be a good day to rest. A Pisces will be able to make you feel better and give you a shoulder to cry on. Today you'll be able to clear up some old inaccurate feelings and perceptions of yourself.

You court disaster with this attitude when the whole thing is known; without proper preparation the chances are good you won't be agreed with. You have very extravagant urges today and could run to excesses if you are not on your toes all day. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Your intuition will be a big help to you on the job today as you seem to know what people want, or what they are go- ing to say, before they ask or say it. This could be un- nerving to others so play it down. Carelessness today could cost you, if you accidently mislay something that you value highly. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) A quiet discussion with all the cards on the table, and then a working game plan, can go far to put a cork in a lot of arguments. Money is the root of all evil or so they say. Today you may feel that this is so as you and the spouse always seem to be on the outs over it.

September 14, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) There may be some confusion over a change of plans. It would be best to write things down or you will be going in the opposite direction and miss an important event which could spell success to your career. Play it safe. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) A loved one may be having personal problems, this gets you depressed as you know the truth and this person refuses to take your word for it. Get over it before you get to work as this could affect your job performance and, like most storms, it will be over by dinner time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You ask for and get a good raise which will go far in provid- ing for everyone. A relative needs to tell you her troubles now and you listen. A new member of the family may bring on extra work and responsibilities but that doesn't make the joy any less that you feel in your heart.

Your intuition will be your guide and your guard today as you go about your work a day world. Children and domestic affairs will keep you hopping in the evening.

Your interests may even lie in the occult but you will find that even that path leads back to God. Angels are again in your dreams. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) You are very good at self expression today, and you use this to your advantage in many different ways. Writing is only one of the things favored for you. This is also a good time to pursue educational interests on your own and you may even consider a change in careers. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Don't let your domestic quarreling upset you so much that your work suffers. A boss could be taking notes. Tension at home runs high as you and the spouse disagree on how the spendable cash is to be spent. You will soon have this little matter cleared up and wonder what the big deal was.

Seek experience, longevity of service, and reputation. Reach an understanding with a teenager tonight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Sometimes you can talk until you are blue in the face and still not get through to a person. Today you will find yourself frus- trated in this manner. Each of us must follow our own path and if you cannot dissuade a person then that is his or her destiny and they must then help themselves. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) This could be a good day to force the issue of your further education and or job training that you have talked about in the past. Use tact though, or you will damage someones feel- ings and it could be twice as long in coming to you. A friend at work could help get your point accross.

September 15, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You could make some sad or even bad mistakes in judgment today if you allow yourself to become overenthusiastic about certain related business matters. This is a day when deceptive trends prevail for some of the signs and you need to be cautious and guard against taking advantage of someone, or having someone take advantage of you. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Stay alert and on your toes today as the need is to protect your- self against some adverse trends, especially where people on a one to one basis is concerned; you could easily be taken advan- tage of if you are not sharp. Don't tell all you know today, play it close. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You too should also be made aware of the deceptive trends in todays stars as you run into some adverse reactions at work. Don't be too quick to judge someone today as things are not as bad as they look. Be alert for scam artists who may want to do a lot of home repair work for a tiny price. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don't overlook important points today as this could be your undoing; be sure to go over everything with a fine toothed comb before presenting it. Avoid any form of gambling or risk taking today as you could lose, big time. Romance sings in the evening. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Going into the other side of the zodiac puts you in the middle of the turning point from the deceptive trends and what you could encounter is a day of confusion, things that should go right but just don't quite make it without a long drawn out session. This might be a good day to just go fishing. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) What seems like a good deal to you today may not be. Check everything out carefully before you give the go ahead to a project that is iffy at the best of times. Don't let a pretty face or a goodlooking body turn your head today, as that could be the last straw for your marriage. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Today you are quite the charmer and you will find many doors to opportunity opening up for you that you could not pre- viously have knocked down with a sledgehammer. Take full advantage of your good fortune today and pick the one that will suit you the best. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) You will find some of your problems are getting solved but you are not quite sure how. Don't worry about it, these are the results of something you started a long time ago and the snowball just caught up; the cause and effect scenario. Romance is all around you today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) Don't daydream today unless you do it on your own time, it could be hazardous to your employment. Weekend plans stand a good chance of being changed before the day is out and, truthfully, that would suit you just fine. Be sure to opt for an alternative that everyone can live with. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Plan to getaway early this weekend as your method of working today gets your ideas across and your work finished early; giving you time to slip away and get started. Be sure that the car is in good repair before you start out as car trouble can go a long way towards ruining any trip. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) You may be tempted to rush someones decision on an important matter today, but don't do it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) So you have your new home, you are all moved in, and now comes the fun part....decorating! Be very careful that you do not go overboard on your spending, or be too quick to take the first things you see. Spend more than one day in coordinating every- thing, as you will have to live with your choices for a long time.

EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Lay the solid foundation to build on later by sorting out ideas and thoughts. Today is a good day for reflection, not for implementation. Do not start anything new or make any decisions -- they will not last. Review old proposals and do research -- the web would be a great place to start. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Destiny is working in your favor and nothing is happening by chance. Wheels are in motion and you'll have a chance in attitude. Don't be scared of the unknown -- it is going to unfold in a positive situation for you. A brown-eyed girl is going to help you develop while you train her on a new program. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Yes, you are isolating yourself today. Tell your friends you need a day off. While you might think it is a good idea to go out with a group, you're going to get irritated easily if you do. Take a raincheck and go home.

WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces This world is full of change and it will be easier if you integrate the new information you have received.

September 16, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A new goal may seem tempting and you are ready to scrap the one that you have been working towards for something that sounds more exciting to you, but it would be wise to take a lot of time to think before you take such a drastic step. Dealing with an opinionated person today could cause a few sparks as you are highly opinionated yourself. TAURUS (Apr. 20- may 20) Today your financial prospects take a turn for the better even though you may think differently because of a financial matter that has been a headache trying to solve; this will see an agreement come forth today that all parties can live with. Keep a cool head. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Your intuition is very strong today, you must be careful that you do not freak people out by answering questions before they are asked! Today you get a chance to display your executive ability and you excel in the job. This could mean a big pro- motion with a substantial wage increase. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You and a spouse, or other loved one, click like mad today as you are finally tuned into the same wave length and the vibes are flowing. The esp is really strong between the two of you and past grievances are forgotten in a new found loving interest in one another. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) A change in position may be in the stars for you today, maybe even a change to a whole new company! You are always in there plugging and you manage to make the best deal possible for yourself. Investment interests are also looking prosperous today, you are likely to see a return on your capital. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 22) This is a good day to take your loved one out to a movie, or a concert, and soak up some culture along with some peace and quite after a busy week at work. Plan some fun activities with the family if there are children in the home, preferably where you can keep the seat of a comfortable lounge chair warm. LIBRA (Sept. 23 -Oct. 23) Try not to get involved in an argument with a person whose has his or her mind made up, especially if it is a spouse or you will have a long term, running fuss on your hands. A good com- promise beats an argument any day, and almost insures that you will wind up getting your own way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 21) Your ideas are sound, and with cool logic you will be able to get this across. Even though you and a partner may see eye to eye on everything else don't expect a quick agreement on your latest idea which involves spending funds that have been al- located in another department. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 -Dec. 21) You have a hunch today that is right on the money but it must be presented with confidence, not aggression. This is not a good day to have a confrontation with an authority figure as you may not come out of it looking good. You and your spouse finally get your problem solved. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 19) Take the afternoon to round up the kids, or your friends, and head for some fun in the sand and the sun, this is a perfect day for it. Look for a breakthrough today on the problem that has had you stymied for so long, the solution will amaze you in its simplicity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 -Feb. 18) Friends may seem difficult to interact with today but don't blame them, it could be that you have your mind on ten thousand other things and it puts you out of sorts. Try spending some time alone to get your thoughts back in con- trol and you will find that the problem you thought was so world shaking really isn't a problem after all. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) Someone you think you know well may be manipulating you, or trying to. Don't fall for the line they are handing out today; show him or her that you are too smart to be used. Evening brings romance to the single, and a new found close- ness to the married.

September 18, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A bit early in the year for outdoor activities but if the weather allows you will find a lot of outdoorsy things that you would rather be doing than you can shake a stick at. Take the kids somewhere in the evening; maybe for some pizza? TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A good day for you but one that is rather on the slow side as you feel more like relaxing than working. Don't get too comfortable as there could be a flurry of activity which you will be in the middle of by this afternoon.

It is best to give a compliment where possible and save the criticism for a later date. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Get off your high horse and damp down that natural feeling of superiority to zero as no matter how hard you try to hide it you will show it at the wrong time and ruin any chance of advancement in your present employment.

Don't let customers see past a polite smiling face no matter how you feel. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) While you are usually the most understanding person in the world with your children, this time you and your teenager may clash over some very important issues. Instead of is- suing an edict you should consider all angles and express yourself in helpful terms. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A fender bender today could spoil the good mood you were in but you have the insurance to cover it so put it out of your mind and don't make others around you keep suf- fering through it with you. While they are sympathetic, they can get bored. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Learning to be more considerate of your spouse and/or other loved ones could be the order of the day as your mind has been so distracted with other things lately that you have been giving them very little thought and attention. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) There is a chance that you will be swept off your feet by a stranger that sets your heart pounding and your heart reeling right from the first "hello" to the "see ya later". Isn't it wonderful that he/she is moving in next door? PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A visiting friend may cause a rift in your family life by his/her presence.

October outlook "Better a witty fool than a foolish wit." Feste in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (I.v.36) Mercury is going to turn himself around this month, right in the middle of Scorpio. Mercury takes three trips around the Sun to our every one trip, so this isn't that unusual. It is too bad that it happens in Scorpio, though, because that means it might be a mean little retrograde time. Saturn is also in apparent rear guard action which isn't that big of a deal, but he does slide backwards in Taurus, a little later this month, and that's going to be a bit of bump. More news, updates, and secure order form is on the web: http://www.astrofish.net Aries : On the highway of life, there are some bumps. Sometimes, this road feels like a corrugated dirt road, too. In fact, part of the early part of the month is going to feel like washboard dirt track. It's not bad, and monster truck suspension works just fine on it although some of your internal body organs might complain about the apparent lack of response in the truck's suspension. Navigating down this dirt road is a little tricky at times like this because it feels like the truck is not firmly connected to the road. This is due to a perturbation in the planets' orbits. It's not so bad, once you realize that you really are making good time, it's just that your usually good Aries vision is getting a little blurred. It might be the dust that you're kicking up. It might be the endless expanse of sand and mesquite. It might be the questionable surface of the road. A normal person would slow down. An Aries, though, might just go ahead and take these rough spots with typical Aries speed, hoping to bounce from one berm to the next. I suggest you slow down a little this month. The bumpy road is due to Mars in Virgo, and the Sun in Libra. Once you get past the first part of the month, the road turns into solid black top and you can really make up some of the time you lost early on. Taurus : On some occasions, ignorance is bliss. Or, to phrase it differently, it's like telling the officer that I was sure the posted speed limit was 95 (not 65, sir), and that's why, when I was clocked at close to hundred miles an hour, I was sure that I wasn't that far over the limit. The officer didn't find it amusing, but he did suggest, since he had less than hour left on his shift, and he didn't feel like going down to the county courthouse, he was only going to write me up for twenty miles over the posted limit. With Mercury in slow motion in the far side of the zodiac, you're going to find that your pleas of miscommunication fall on deaf ears. In fact, trying to act like you didn't know is just going to exacerbate the situation this month. First, Mercury pushes you one way, then he pushes you another way. But like my small amount of luck with the Highway Patrol, you're not going to get in as much trouble. However, when I'm in my Taurus boots this month, I will have a very artfully prepared story and explanation for everything. This is a recommended course of action, just don't trying pleading ignorance, unless you can do it a humorous fashion. Gemini : There are two items worthy of your perspicacious Gemini consideration right now. Number one: Mercury is going to be in Scorpio all month long. Number two: Mercury is going to do a retrograde action around the middle of the month. And what does that mean to you, my fine Gemini friend? This is going to be the ultimately weird month. It's not like you really get along with the whole Mercury in Scorpio thing to begin with, and its action wherein it slows down, stops, and then appears to move backwards relative to the other planets is going to throw you into a dizzying spiral. Is this a downward spiral, or is it an upward spiral? I would suppose it depends on whether you're in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere, and the direction of the spiral you get tossed into has to do with the Coriolis Effect. By the end of the month, though, I'm pretty sure you're going to feel like you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's just the evil little movements of your ruling planet and he's just assuring you that there is some mischief afoot right now, just something to shake you up a little. The trick with the tricky planet is not to let this get to you too much. Your ability to deal with stress is going to be tested this month, and there's a problem at work that you were sure you had already fixed (remember: a Gemini brain is, on the average, twice as fast as any body else's.) With this month's arrangement of the planets, I would just start taking it easy, and learn a degree of patience. Let me know which way the spiral goes this month. Cancer : I'm only really looking at two planets for you Cancer guys this month. In my test samples at the "Fishing Guide to the Stars Beachfront Research Laboratories", the Crabs are under twin influences right now. One of them would be Mars, and this "Mars in Virgo" thing is having a little more impact that you thought it would. The other one is the Mercury Effect, which might be a good title for a book. But the plot's a little thin because it's all about review and revision. It's like sending out a copy of your text file to a copy editor and having it come back full of grammatical mistakes, erroneous information, and wondering who stuck all this words in here -- things you would never say. You get to puzzle this stuff out all month long. And with Mars compounding this scenario, you can occasionally get a little hot under the collar about it all. Do like I do: keep a back up copy of this month's plan ready, in its original version, and be prepared to refer back to your original plan in order to help with this month's planetary turbulence. Leo : The downside of the Mercurial effect of the messenger of the gods is well-documented in numerous locations. It would be really easy if you could learn to have a comical and humorous approach to what the little planet will do to your sign this month. Keep it light. Regrettably, there's also another hit you're going to take, "It's terrible, isn't it?" Leo's have such a dramatic way about them, taking marginal news and making it awful. No, it's not that bad, but I would direct you to consider how to draw the line between "who you are" and "what stuff you own." In other words, don't assume that you MUST have a Purple 1968 Coupe De Ville convertible Cadillac in order to be all that you are. This is one of those months when you should question yourself about whether you really need a classic like that in order to be the most Leo person you are. Personally, I would prefer an elderly Lincoln Continental, but I'm not a Leo. In either case, though, be cautious about identifying your own self with what you drive. Sometimes, outward affectations are nothing more than that -- it's what's inside that really counts. Virgo : This month, Mars is firmly entrenched in the sign of Virgo. It covers approximately 20 degrees from the first of the month to the end of the month. As such, it would indicate that Mars is bound and determined to hit just about EVERY Virgo I know at some point. And I wouldn't complain, except that Virgo is the sign most likely to point out a grammatical error. Virgo's seem to relish going through all the text with a fine tooth comb and finding any snarls. [Or snarling at what they find.] And then, since it is their lot in life, these Virgo's are determined to inform me about anything which I do that is not right by their standards. So, does it sound like I'm whining? Sure. And looking at Mars this month, and comparing his energy to a sweet and delicate Virgo energy, I see a ham-fisted fool trying to coerce you into something you don't want. That's when the complaints start. So as long as Mars is doing this to you, don't fire off those poison pen notes at me. Exercise and activity of just about any kind is far more useful that sitting there and throwing evil looks at your astrology buddy. I'm not the enemy, and you'll cool down from this Martian stuff as soon as you get out and burn up some of that energy. Then write me a thank you note, instead. Libra : Libra is always a special time of the year. It's supposed to be a national holiday because there are so many important Libra birthdays this month. And then Scorpio starts, and that's good news, too. But there's something going on, and Libra is really stuck this month with a pair of conflicting commands. Little planets can affect moods in a big way. Like the whole Mercury and Venus stuff that's going. This is -- relatively speaking -- a positive event, considering where it falls in your chart. Pa Wetzel is a Libra, and he once got an upgrade on a long airline flight, not because he was who he was, nor the miles, but because he was flying with me, and the ticket taker recognized me. This month works like that, you get some breaks, and not because you deserve them (which Libra does), but because you happen to know the right person at the right time. The conflicting side of this equation is that Mars is in the sign before you, all month long. This is not considered a good place for Mars. So when you're busy claiming your son is a famous astrologer, go ahead and receive the accolades, don't worry where they are coming from. Those astrological upgrades might come from the strangest of places as long as Mars is kicking around where he is. And be careful because some of your friends don't need to know that you have an astrologer in your immediate family. Scorpio : Every last one of you Scorpio's is going to have to deal with the effect of Mercury this month. It is not going to be pleasant. It's going to put you in position where you feel itchy and scratchy. If the other people in your life would just do what you know to be best, then the world would work out in perfect order, and there wouldn't be any problems this month. One of my Scorpio fishing buddies is going to be particularly difficult this month. I can see this coming. In fact, I think I will do my best to politely avoid his company. It's not bad, it's just he thinks he knows what is the best bait to use. In fact, he might be right, but the way the planets are, especially within Scorpio, I would keep using my idea of what's best (even though it doesn't come close to what his idea of best is), and I wouldn't catch a thing. In fact, some of my stink bait might even scare the fish away from his hook. So even though Scorpio is certainly correct this month, you're going to find that you are saddled with a fishing partner who is bound and determined to cause irritation. If the world was a better place, maybe we could all take a lesson from Scorpio, and learn to listen to you guys. Unfortunately, the way this month looks, we ain't listening to Scorpio, and that can be a cause of frustration. Nothing is worse than being right, and not having anyone acknowledge it. It's a lonely travail, but that's what this month looks like. Even though you are, of course, absolutely correct, don't waste time trying to prove it to the rest of us. Sagittarius : Kick back, relax, and enjoy the perturbations in the planets' relative movements this month. There's a kicker at the beginning of the month, and similar one at the end, so it doesn't much matter, at one point, especially in the first few days of October, some particular person (we're not naming names, but you know who you are) is going to "get your Sagittarius goat." It's an old expression wherein some other sign does his (or her) dead level best to piss you off. It's some oddball combination of planets, and the anger is really not worth the energy. Won't get much accomplished. Be a noble scholarly Sagittarius, look at the academic point of view. Study the problem and the possible actions and reactions. Don't blow your top -- ain't worth it this month -- besides, that energy has a tendency to fly back on you, especially considering that Mercury will be going retrograde. Consider what's written for Scorpio this month, too. Just about every Sagittarius chart I've ever considered has a little dash of Scorpio some place in it, so this applies to you. Besides, the whole Mercury thing is in the sign which precedes you. Means it's a great time for all sorts of demons to bubble up from your subconscious. Take them out, let them have a little breath of air, look at them, and don't worry about it -- everyone I know has a few of these dark secrets, and being a Sagittarius, you're a little more willing to tell us about them. Now that's the hint for this month, maybe we don't all want to listen to your dark secrets. So let these guys out, but maybe, just don't announce them to the world. Capricorn : For a several years, I served as a moderator for a couple of online mailing lists. One was for jokes, another was a clearing house for astrology information. One had thousands of subscribers, another just had a few hundred. I made the mistake, once, of sending a joke to the astrology list. Bad mistake. And that's what this month is like. You have some information to disseminate, and you figure it wouldn't hurt to let a lot of people know about this. Just don't make the mistake of sending one piece of information to the wrong place. Another example would be an ill-timed "leak" (from an anonymous Capricorn source) to the press. Again, it's like that time the joke would up in the hands of thousands of astrologers, right idea, but it only served to irritate the most self-righteous of the readers. Be extra careful, especially after the first few weeks, about what information you release for the masses to consume. Nothing is worse than sending the right information, but at the wrong time, out so every one can see it. This looks like you "airing your dirty laundry" and having suffered through this once, all I can suggest is that it's not a good idea. I hate it when everyone gets to see my dirty drawers. You don't need to do that this month, either, so be extra cautious. Check exactly what it is BEFORE you hit the "send" button. Aquarius : One of the many attributes that I so dearly love about Aquarius that they have an innate ability not to manipulate a situation to their own, personal advantage. They just don't get it, and that's fine with both of us. You guys just don't have the ability to steer people where you want them to go, not if it involves nothing more than your own, personal, Aquarius gain. But while everyone else is moaning about this month with "the planets this" and "the planets that" your Aquarius world offers up a chance for you to twist a situation around for your own, personal gain. Rather than sink into the dubious world of "insider trading," though, I'm merely going to warn you that it's not a good idea to step on anyone this month. Do you're best not to be a major source of irritation to others. In fact, in at least one of your "interpersonal" dialogues this month, you are going to be very clear about what your message is. That's good. Unfortunately, what with Mercury leaning on you hard all month, your clear message doesn't make it across to the significant other that you are attempting to communicate with. At times like this, a little bit of mental telepathy would evoke mental empathy. Regrettably, not many other signs are as advanced as Aquarius and thus, they don't get a chance to really understand where you're "coming from." Okay, so don't run over anyone this month in your struggle to get to the top, and don't worry that the rest of "us" aren't getting whatever your deep message is. It's a good month not to try to use fancy fishing metaphors because your audience might not rise to the bait. Pisces : Mars spends all month on the opposite side of the zodiac from you. This is going to be either good, really good, or occasionally disastrous. At one point or another, Mars will traverse an exact spot opposite your Pisces Sun. Let's say that you divided up the responsibilities for a fishing trip amongst several friends. Let's say that one of the guys is supposed to bring the food, another is supposed to bring the beer. And you've got the boat and the camper. Here's the problem, one of your "associates" is going to let you down. Just when you get to a mission critical point, just when Mercury is turning backwards, just when Mars is opposite you, the weak link becomes rather apparent. This sets a negative tone for the whole endeavor. What can you do to prevent this from happening? The first option is to do it all yourself. I realize this trip required a lot of planning, and I realize that you can't do it all your Pisces self, but make sure you've got everything covered. Maybe even check twice. Go over the list, and make sure hat your friends are bringing the right brand of what it is that you're going to need. Make sure that you have a little extra whatever stashed, just in case someone fails to uphold his (or her) end of the bargain. You'll be ever so much happier then. Nothing is worse than getting to some remote location and discovering that there isn't enough of a certain kind of supplies in order to fully enjoy yourself. (c) Kramer Wetzel 1999, Y2K

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Someone you meet socially today will be able to give you a leg up with that new project of yours.

October 9, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A tall dark stranger may pop into your life today in a highly romantic fashion. This is one who will not take to being dom- inated so make sure you know what you want out of a mate before you fall for this one. Your career may undergo some changes today and most will be good. 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. You are also good at talking yourself out of a great idea by being unsure of yourself. CANCER (June 22-July 22) This would be a great day for you to act like a ghost and 'haunt' the malls and shopping centers as the bargains are everywhere, and you will be able to complete that project for a lot less money than you originally estimated. Take a friend along for company. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The winds of change are blowing through your life right now and they will not all be bad. Your feelings that something is about to happen is right on the money as one of the changes will be a bright new future with a new, progressive comapny that need your talents. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Be sure you get all your facts together before you jump to conclusions and misjudge someones work...Don't listen to rumor or gossip as that could cause you more losses than gains in the romance department. Your spouse could be feel- ing neglected; its not easy being a computer widow/widower. 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. Re- turning an item you don't need makes more sense than stacking it in a corner, use the money for something else. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) A special person drops into your life today and you are ecstatic about the whole thing. Don't let too many stars in your eyes cloud your vision of the truth, always look before you leap. A family member may need your help today in moving and this should take up your whole afternoon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Worry over a family problem could reach a quick end today if you will learn to let go and let the grown up child think for himself or herself. Sooner or later we must all stand alone and the time is probably right for this one. Worry if you like, but do it in silence. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Being the stubborn 'goat' you are apt to meet with a lot of opposition today and getting stubborn will only get you a sore head, and maybe get you unemployed at the same time. Try to give a little today as others have some good ideas as well as you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Taking your work, or your worry over a friends problems, to bed with you is not a good idea and your partner will not appreciate it in the least. Try to lay aside thoughts of others when dealing with your spouse, life will be so much more simpler. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today your ties to the unknown through your extra sensory perception is very strong today and you may even see a ghost or have an angel encounter. Friends will remark on your air of mystery and be intrigued rather than be put off by it.

Give yourself time to learn the ropes -- it will come together soon. Enjoy the process of putting the a new procedure together or you'll miss all the fun. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You haven't been feeling yourself lately. Your body is telling you it needs rest -- listen to it.

It was a hard earned victory and you deserve to rest for a while. You've been on an emotional rollercoaster lately but it has finally come to an end.

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

aren't S&R gay? so what do they know about women?

oh, wait, that's what changed them *grin*

uh huh...noted ! Tres interesting, no?! Octember 10, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) While you are the one with so much get up and go, you can also be thrown into deep depressions if you take too much of someones criticisms to heart. Learn to shake off the harsh words by taking responsiblitiy for any part you may have been wrong about, resolv- ing to do better and then listen to no more on the subject! 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.

Never the shy one, you call in the troops, (friends), for some cleaning help. 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. Now is a good time to go home shopping, not decorating, your ideas are grander than that; home shopping for that new home!! 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.

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).

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. This is a good time to trust your instincts, especially in situations requiring taking the initiative. Old ideas can be reworked into a finished project. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Knowledge of trends can put you a step ahead of the crowd, perhaps to your enrichment. Futurist studies may help you decide on a job or investment. Learn about emerging technologies for profitability. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your assertiveness brings others into line, but their resentment may fade if they see results. 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. Don't be distracted by details leading away from long-term goals; make your actions advance them instead. LIBRA (September 23-October 22): There may be some trouble mixing work with your children, or with romance today. You may have some luck at the lotto or other games of chance. 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. On long, tedious jobs, delegate the work and keep yourself open to the creativity that spurs you forward.

Maybe it would be good to consider a partnership with the one who got you started. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) If your nose stays to close to the grindstone then you cannot see where you are going or what is going on around you.

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...

Sometimes your jokes can be insensitive so make sure to think before you speak today. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Comfort is not found is Rocky Road ice cream.

You'll get some clarity on which way to go in regard to a very confusing situation. Let your mind wander today. Jot down any ideas you get -- no matter how farfetched.

November 1, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) If you stand behind your beliefs, stick to your guns, you will likely be recognized today. This may be a good time to make that decision and take the new job offer. It will turn out much better then you hope! TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Try not to let work and home life intersect today if at all possible. Take swift decisive action when it comes to dealing with co-workers or colleagues. A close friend is about to take a big step in their love life, give them support. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Be careful about spending too much money today, overspending will come quite easily if you do not use self control. Also be cautious of giving too much to others as well. A good day to sit down and and ponder life. Good spiritual insight can come from some solitude. CANCER (June 22-July 22) The problems with your domestic affairs are escalating and are in danger of spiraling out of control. Someone very close to you, someone you trust is concealing something important from you. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Someone has started a rumor recently that you are not per- forming up to par at work. You know this is not true, but the rumor starter is credible. You must work extra hard to dispel this negative energy by working hard and beating your own drum a little. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today you become more interested in the music genre that you once thought was very bad. This is a good day to broaden your horizons even further. Look into new and different hobbies and projects that you may not have tried before. You will be pleasantly surprised! LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You are feeling quite a bit on anxiety about the living arrange- ments you are currently in. It is important that you cure this problem and dispel the anxiety. someone close to you has an answer to this problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Guard close your achievements today, especially as it pertains to your employment. Someone is going to try to steal the credit for one of your most important accomplishments. The culprit is likely to be a friend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) This is a day where it seems nobody is on time or keeps their appointments! Don't let everyone's tardiness get you down. If you take up the slack of those who are late or fail to follow through, your superiors will notice. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A very emotional day for you. Do a self evaluation of your feelings toward your mate. If you truly love them, try show- ing it a little better then you have been lately. Your affec- tion will be returned to you in a big way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be inclined to break a diet or give in to some sort of physical temptation today. Try your best to stick to your guns, you will find a hidden reward for doing so! Don't let life get you down, keep your eyes on the future. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Today is a good day to avoid any sort of new partnerships or joint ventures. I am not saying your current ones are bad, it's just that you need to wait at least a day before final- izing anything.

Boring day compared with yesterday. Why does everyone want to talk at the same time...then, not at all?!

dunno. no capricorns in my life that i know of. virgo is the one i'm concerned with. i hope i don't have to tell anyone any bad news, geez!

Hmmm... One I know is NOT a Capricorn but the other... Havc not talked about that yet... Better ask. Might be important in understanding this stuff. Yup, you don't want to be the bearer of bad news unless it is stupendous news about you that must be told. Eventually that is gonna happen for me...

*hugs*

*Hugs* Wolfie!!! o'o is gonna get the bad news... not YOU...I should have been more specific, but you knew that, huh?! *grin* November 2, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Running away from your problems are going to get you more trouble. It's time to stop hiding and confront the issue straight on. A wise Gemini is going to get you to admit the truth -- it's not your fault. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius It's time to talk to your boss about your performance. You're not feeling appreciated and you need to bring your concerns to the light. You'll find there are some misunderstandings that -- once they are cleared up -- will make your job a lot easier. Ask Archangel Michael for guidance. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra This would be a good day to get rid of things you don't use anymore. This includes clothes, furniture, jewelry and old feelings and ideas. Clean out your physical, mental, and spiritual closet today. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Don't tempt fate today. Bring extra change for the parking meter or you'll definitely get a ticket. Follow the rules or you may find you'll have to pay a lot extra for something you could have paid 25 cents for!

Oh YES!!! A wise Gemini and He is a Taurus...in fact they all are in my male "family" Oh my....!

Hey, Wolfie! Throw your old diamonds this way and I'll throw mine to you! November 2, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Friends will not appreciate your involvement in their affairs even if it is as a matchmaker...best not to assume that role today. If you give credit where credit is due you can be sure you will be treated likewise. A new look at work hastens pro- motion time. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Okay, it was a good accomplishment but it is time to face the immediate future and come down from the heights it sent you to. Don't rest on your laurels today as they may not be enough to secure that well paying position that you almost have in your pocket. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A good diet and possibly a new wardrobe can do wonders for your self esteem and when you see yourself in a better light so will everyone else. Avoid making the mistake of thinking that lust on someones part means love, put it to the test. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Several job offers come your way today but look them over care- fully and if you already have a job be sure the new one will offer you more than you will give up in the way of job security. A get together with friends gives you a chance to air your views in a congenial way. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Be sure that you have more than one plan going today in case one falls through and you have to switch to plan b. You are talented and you should think of yourself as such and reassess your worth to the company...it is worth asking for that raise you need. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Others, lesser lights, may need to hear how you made it on your own so go ahead and share this with your class or in a lecture you may be giving. Off the record, you should avoid taking advantage of someone just because you can due to your power and position. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is not a good day to put off until tomorrow what you can, and need to, finish today. Procrastination can only make you one thing...a loser. A new job may look enticing but may be of short term duration no matter what you are told. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) In the area of personal communication you could be missing a few beats, take the time to listen and make your responses clear and concise to avoid misunderstandings and the, "I thought you said...". You and the spouse discover a new closeness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today is blessed with the people you love visiting and including you in their plans. Be careful at work today as there is the possibility of stepping on the bosses toes as you overreach your- self in some main areas. Evening brings a quiet peace. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) This would be a good day to watch out you don't let the ego get so inflated that it gets in the way of seeing someone elses excellence or worth. Team work is more important today than the abilities of one person so get that project off the ground by being a team player. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You speak the clearest when you are able to control your anger at others, this gives you a great advantage over someone who shows loss of control in front of the boss. An arraignment with a spouse for greater freedom is not to your liking as the spouse also has more freedom. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Your recent career decisions are fully backed by your family and you are happy that the decision is finally reached. You will dee a good improvement in your overall financial welfare as soon as the education part of it is finished.

Do you think this one is trying to tell us something?!

geez, i didn't know i was looking that bad! *grin*

I'm working on a more effective way of distributing Solaris operating systems today, called JumpStart. No bright colors though, I'm wearing the usual green Columbia shirt, blue jeans and And 1 Shoes (very, very comfortable basketball warm up shoes, they're black). I'm not much in to bright colors.

In Texas, I would not be either. Here, if you wear jeans and t-shirt (my usual attire)you are formally dressed. Actually, only Aloha attire (by which we tell the tourists from the locals)is about the only stuff here to wear. The rest of us mostly match the background. My bright colors today are faded blue jeans and white t-shirt.

Now, if I was in Hawaii, I'd wear bright colors. I was almost tempted to order a Hawaiian shirt out of catalog not too long ago.

Some are very handsome, indeed. And some are absolutely ghastly. Like everything else. Men here even wear flowers in their hair... NO ONE make fun of them!!! I think you would look most handsome in an Aloha shirt...but then, I am a bit prejudiced. Um...you would not be the only Austenite with one, btw...

Novermber 8, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Have you been taking care of yourself? Probably not. No wonder why you're feeling so run down! You can't be all things to everyone. Today would be a good day to have discernment on projects or plans that are offered to you. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius It may seem like the world has come crashing down on you. This is only temporary. Tears are healthy so don't hold them back. A Capricorn has some soothing words for you so listen. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Great job impressing the boss today. Just don't get comfortable now. You've got some loose ends to tie up so make sure to do that. If you don't, it will come back to haunt you later. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Stop procrastinating. You have to get this situation under control. No one likes confrontation but it's time to put the problem on the table. A few misunderstanding has caused this to happen. Once you straighten it out, you'll feel a lot better.

Nope, a lot of guys wear Hawaiin shirts in Austin, especially around South Austin "bubbaland".

Oh my...exotic sportswear in Texas? Somehow I had the idea y'all dressed in Justin boots, Stetson hats and shirt whose buttons were really plear-covered snaps. Where did I go wrong?! Amyone I know, in Bubbaland? November 8, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) When introduced to a mysterious stranger today you are im- mediately interested...Don't let the hard to get act lead you astray, if the person is too hard to get they may not be worth having. Being a matchmaker today is not the recom- mended role for you as your friend won't like it. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Lucky money is in the stars for some of you today, maybe a lotto winning or a game of chance. Others will find them- selves getting a substantial raise that will keep on help- ing out. A long distance call this evening brings you some- good news. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today you will see your financial situation take an upward trend as you move forward toward your goals. Returning some- thing you borrowed will be insurance that you can borrow again when and if the need arises. Stick to an earlier decision for best results in your love life. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Find an outlet today for your creative urges even if you have no hobbies right now this would be a good time to start one. Your new home may take some getting used to but you will soon have everything arranged the way you want it and everyone, including you, can relax. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is a good day for business networking as a friend sets you up with a hot prospect for investing in your business. Play this right and you will never have to worry about finances again. This is not a good time for falling in love, take care of business today. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today you bring victory out of defeat as you turn a near catastrophe into a resounding win! Your finances take a skyward dive and you have never felt more elated. Evening could bring on a marital dispute; listen well, you could be in the wrong. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Planning large expenditures today is not conducive to marital bliss as the other half is adamant on saving money for the future; try to reach a compromise and make things fair for both parties. A friend gives you a lot of moral support but you have to find your own solutions. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) You are smart and quick at what you do. This kind of energy is put to good use today as you bring some new accounts into the fold. A chance at a more lucrative position could be yours today. Family get togethers in the evening turns out to be very pleasant for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Relocating to a new city or a new job could take a lot of your time today as you finalize all your plans to get the show on the road. Call ahead to make sure your living quarters are ready for you, so you will not have to spend extra money in a motel while you get everything taken care of. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) You like things to remain as they are but you must learn to roll with the flow when changes come along, learn to adapt and you will always be one step ahead of the competition. If you have an on going argument with a spouse you will find the solution to this problem before evening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Going on a temporary ego trip could cause you a lot of trouble with loved ones or with friends, try not to practice one up- man-ship and you will fare better. Be a team player and col- laborate on a project at work, giving credit where credit is due. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) The suggestions you make to day are heeded much better than you will ever know as the person you are helping looks up to you for guidance. Try to stay as far away from the boss today as you can as he/she may not be in the greatest of moods and could take it out on the closest person around.

---------- Researchers Find New Way to Chill Out ----------- GERMANY - The term "chill out" can soon become a scientific term. Researchers have found that sitting naked in a freezer can be a cure for stress. Tests in Germany showed that spending three minutes in a freezing room makes stress levels plummet. Scientists reportedly stated that the sub-zero temperatures increase the brain's serotin levels, making their freezing volunteers feel much calmer. [And all this time I thought it was called hypothermia.]

(um, nope) yeah, but "chill out" sounds better then "hypothermia, dude!"

What was so bad about what she was asked to do, wolfie?

oh it wasn't the task as much as the fact that it's something we (our squadron) got hit with and it was down to her and me. she refused, i had something scheduled but rescheduled and it worked out.

November 29 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn A Cancer person wants to take care of you. However, you don't really need to be mothered today. Politely tell this person you're doing okay -- and they'd be much more useful helping you with a timely project. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius An important decision needs to be made so make sure to take all the facts into account. Others are leaving you holding the bag on this so make sure to ask divine guidance before you reveal the plan to others. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra A family member really needs a sounding board today. You can be an angel on earth by providing good advice. Don't judge what the situation is -- just look at the facts and give advice based on that. Ask a Gemini to get involved to make things easier. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A dream can become a reality if you put your mind to it. Stop thinking you're unworthy of the prize or you'll never receive your reward. A little hard work and determination will bring you the abundance you're craving.

***************** December Outlook ***************** Astrology overview: there's a partial eclipse, sort of like a minor, tiny one in early Capricorn, on the big day. That's something to look forward to because it certainly won't be popping out from any Yule Log, or from under a tree, or whatever your year end tradition [or winter solstice] dictates. Jupiter is still windmilling backward through the very early degrees of Gemini. Saturn is still in Taurus at the late degrees, Mars spends most of the month comfortably accommodated in Libra, but at the last minute, he does slip into Scorpio. It will prove to be an interesting round up to this year, perhaps the best way to describe it is getting the year end stuff done a little ahead of time, and getting a good launch on the new year just a tad bit early. Aries : There are some pretty well defined peaks this month. Unfortunately, this is like looking out of a fishing camp high in the Rocky Mountains, on one of those summer mornings when it's pretty hard to guess that it's really summer time because it's so cold. There's a heavy frost on the ground, and the clouds have rolled in. To be sure, there's a pristine clarity, way overhead as the mountain tops soar to hold up the sky. But down around the camp itself, it's pretty cold and foggy. Don't worry, it's a wet cold, and it seeps into everything. So while there are some definite high points this month, there seems to be a lot of mornings that are just like that fishing camp in the mountains. Cold, wet, miserable. I wouldn't want to paint myself into a corner, and with some of the the little uplifting astrological events month, you're going to see yourself doing rather well at certain points, certain little astrological mile markers. There's one in the first week, one in the second week, one in the third week, as you can see, it's not just a single mountain peak you're looking at, but a while range of mountains. And despite the bone chilling cold in the mornings, all month long, there's a break, almost every day as you tie on one of your home made flies, and position yourself by that alpine lake. Beautiful, big, hungry trout. So when nothing seems to warm you up, just remember that those mountain trout are some of the easiest fish to clean. Taurus : This is going to be a weird horoscope because I'm going to fly in the face of conventional astrology right now. Most folks are going to tell you about the holidays, the good stuff coming up, how you can be best spending your time attending to matters of a personal nature, and how romance is going to flourish. Skip it. Look at this the Fishing Guide to the Stars way, spend just a little extra time at the office. Some folks around here assume that my office is a boat, and that makes it easy for me to float off with work. And that's exactly the image I would suggest for you, floating away with what you do. There's some extra income that would certainly be welcome, and while money won't actually buy happiness, it does translate into a lot of presents which make a lot of other people happy right now. This is another long term planning time. While everyone else is still looking at the short run, the end of this month, I want my fine Taurus friends to keep looking for the end of the rainbow, which, unfortunately, doesn't really hit until sometime next month. So this month, the more work you're willing to do, the greater the rewards. Gemini : It's a pretty simple and straightforward month for Gemini, because Jupiter is still moving backwards in your sign. This gives an unsettling energy, like you can think of about two million tasks you should accomplish, but the highest priority winds up being a nap. It's like every afternoon this month is a lazy afternoon. You sit down at the computer to get some work done, and wind up thinking about sending out a holiday to e-mail and then you spend the rest of the afternoon looking for your Holiday artwork, and then you decide to design something in a graphics program, and you've wasted an entire afternoon, accomplishing exactly zero on the normal scale of "accomplished work index." On a Gemini sale, though, you've actually gotten a lot of little bits and pieces of your life tidied up -- it's just that this doesn't always translate to us lesser signs as something really momentous. So work with our way of looking at things, if you must. And don't worry about what the other signs are saying behind your back right now. Keep doing what you do best, and this month will eventually turn up some surprising results, it just might not be what everyone else was expecting out of you. Cancer : The holiday season is usually a time that's a little too busy, a little frantic, and a little strung out. Your month does begin like this, and while most holiday years go from bad to worse, there's a difference this time. There's an odd lift that starts on Christmas Eve, literally. Mars moves into a sign that he likes. And you like it, too, especially since this is going to take all the troublesome energy and soften it up a little. It's like playing with a string of Xmas lights, and trying to find that one which is causing the whole string not to flash just right. There's just one burnt out bulb that you've got find, and of course, that's why I suggest that you leave Xmas lights up year round. Following my decorating advice can save a lot of trouble this month. That burnt out bulb, that single little frustrating "thang" that's keeps your activities all in a dither this gets a sudden boost in the right direction. Just be careful when your good friend suggests that the easiest way to find that weak electrical leak is to hold the whole string underwater. Leo : Xmas in America is usually a good time, old friends show up, we all sit around the dinner table, and then we all get out of the house to go back to some old and familiar haunts, some places that perhaps, maybe, well, there's just a suggested that the old neighborhood has changed some. It ain't what it used to be. That's what this month is like, and there's a growing sense of dread that will accompany this month. To be sure, you're not going to be feeling it a lot all month, but there are certain times this month when there's a whisper in the back of your head, a little voice directed to your inner ear, suggesting that there is something amiss here. Part of this is a growing holiday season, and part of this is the attempt to return to traditional "family values" which some of us who always had it before really find amusing. Now, don't panic, but at some point this month, my most excellent Leo friend, you're going back to a place you knew as a child. Or a youngster, or even last month. And the place has changed. It's like a small suburban town I used to frequent, a short distance from what used to an excellent fishing hole. Overnight (more like 20 years), the town got "discovered" and there is square mile after square mile of apartments, condominiums and nary a trailer park to be seen, plowed under by suburban sprawl. It's sort of a sad note, seeing little bits and pieces of Americana and Texana eaten up like that. This hint of sadness floats in and out this month, and you might get a little melancholy when you realize that the old farmer who used to chase us out of his stock pond is gone, retired in some other location, living the easy life. At least he won't be coming after you with a scatter gun full of rock salt anymore. Think: do you really miss it that much? Virgo : I talk about romance for Virgo's, and three out of four of the ardent Virgo fans I've got write me pointed little notes suggesting that I am not very accurate since no matter what I write, there isn't even a blip on the horizon -- nothing on the radar screen of love. So I won't extol the virtues of seeing Venus move her happy self into Capricorn, nor will suggest that it's supposed to be a good time, even though, this is going to be a holiday season full of more cheer and nicer things than most. The deal is that it starts out a little rocky. It's as if you've lost that Xmas list which Virgo's are so famous for. In fact, you might have made a mistake and got the gift list, the wish list, and the OTHER list all confused. "Why, what's Kramer doing on my Xmas card list? He was supposed to get coal this month. Hard, small chunks of coal, especially after his horoscope...." No need to direct your early month ire at me. I'll promise, the closer we all get to the big holiday, you'll notice that there is a sudden turn in events, and all those forces which felt like they were opposing you, suddenly, you're going to notice that everything begins to line up a little bit better, a little bit more on your side, and then, beyond all hope (and worried about some fossil fuel headed my way), there's a good chance that there's a prurient romantic encounter headed your way. Libra : The effect of the eclipse is documented elsewhere. But the rest of the month is well documented here. It's a good time. No two ways about that. It's an interesting time, and the usual holiday cheer will abound in the Libra corner of the sky. To be sure, it's not really much due to planets which are in Libra, it's more due to other little things that are going on. It does indicate that there will be some more interesting times ahead, though. There is one bump in this happy Libra road, this month. That little upsetting piece of material is a like giant rock in the middle of your road to happiness. You'll be traveling along at a good clip, making good speed, having a fine old time, the sun is shining, the world is a happy place, and then, there's this little piece of dirt in the middle of your road. You stop the truck, get out and get prepared to kick the offending stone out of the way. All you do is hurt your big toe -- the rock doesn't move. Then, you get the block and tackle out of the truck's bed, maybe fire up the winch, and you're going to clear the road, once and for all. By the time you get this moved, it turns out to have an iceberg like quality to it -- there was about nine tenths of it below the surface. So be careful when you tackle that one obstacle; little problems this month can be major undertakings if you're not careful. But over all, this is a good month. Really. Just be careful when the package says, "some assembly required." Scorpio : It might be because Mars coincides with the time I show up at the family homestead for the holidays, but from that moment on, things are going to be wonderful in Scorpio. Mars and Scorpio go together like "fish and bait." Maybe there's another expression for that, but I like that first one just fine. So you don't have to worry about the eclipse thing, and about the time I'm heading back to the old homestead, just about the time I get to greet Ma Wetzel for the big holiday week of festivities and family fun, that's about the time everything gets just rosy and pink in Scorpio. Until I hit the road for my annual trip to the homestead, though, there's a certain degree of friction present in Scorpio. Rather, it's due to a somewhat innocuous meandering little planet, but you get the idea. So there's something to look forward to, it's just getting ready for the holiday might take a little more out of my fine Scorpio friends than they are wiling to give up. Most of this month is a time when a patient little outlook, perhaps some solitary work on your own project would be best. Then, holidays can be fun, and with Mars entering Scorpio right at the holiday, it will be like having me right back at the old homestead. Sagittarius : I've used this particular expression in readings before, one on one with clients, but I've never committed it to print., With the relative movement of the planets, though, it seems rather fitting. The month begins with a big bang, and looks like the party will last forever. But if you don't get your holiday preparations out of the way early, it might not be as great as you think. That expression I'm referring to goes like this... "You keep taking a step forward, but you look down, and you've got one of your boots nailed to the floor. Even though you keep taking a step forward, you just can't seem to make any progress." The deal is this: Mars, Mercury, even Venus, and maybe Jupiter as well all conspire to give the drive to keep moving forward, but that laugh a minute Saturn is going to drive a big spike right through the tip of your cowboy boot. It misses the flesh, but the boot is still firmly anchored in one place. So you keep moving forward and can't figure out why you're going in a circle. Hey, it's a holiday season, and since you're planted in one place, going in circles, why not just enjoy the good cheer? Don't worry about it too much either, because this is month when you might actually enjoy being rooted someplace for a change. Capricorn : This month, between the late eclipse at an early degree of your sign, on the big holiday, no less, and the quick moving Venus, you've just about got your hands full. I watch one fisherman manage two, three -- even five or six lines at a time, while he works from the bridge over the lake by me. It's not such a bad arrangement, he's just trying to keep all of his options open. It looks like hard work, though, and I wonder what would happen if that impossible event ever occurred, if two fish got hooked at the exact same time. It makes for an interesting point of debate, or, as some joker would suggest, "de bait." The sheer odds of that happening must be astronomical, but astrology and astronomy used to be the same thing, and with the way the stars are stacked right now, it could happen. Doubtful, but there is the slimmest chance that something like this could really hit. More than one fish, striking your lines, at the same time. What are you going to do? I would just look towards the heavens and suggest that it was, indeed, a heaven sent deal. The odds may be long, but the stars are with you for a change. Aquarius : A typical Aquarius is anything but typical. And the way the planets line up this month suggest a bell curve. It starts out either really good (or bad), gets worse (or better) and then gets really good (or bad) again. Since a bell curve implies a statistical median average, and since we've both decided that you are anything but average, and despite my long years of intense astrological study into the Aquarius mind, I still can't say for sure which way this one will go. There's a big swing. If you were a normal sign, it wouldn't be any kind of a problem to make these predictions. But you're not. Venus spends a large portion of this month in your sign, and she can bring endearing little feelings which tickle your Aquarius heart. That's how I wind up with so many weird earrings because it's what you think I'll like for Xmas. It's true, too. I'm particularly fond of earrings that can double as lures, or the just the reverse, fishing lures that also make good jewelry. So with your somewhat strange bell curve of a month, and when Venus lands in your sign for good, consider the needs and concerns of your friends as well as yourself. Or shop like I do, "one for them, one for me...." Pisces : This while year has been a little more arduous than the average Pisces would care to admit to. And before we cast back and look over the past 12 months, perhaps a quick glance at what's coming up will help. Eclipse and Mars are close to happening at the same time because Mars will be entering Scorpio just the day before. Mars gets tempered in water, it's like my friend who makes custom knives, he heats a piece of metal until it's red hot (glowing red) and plunges that steel into a vat of water. This makes for a blade that is much stronger than before. But if he's not careful with the process, it can also yield a blade which is brittle. There's a fine line in there, and as Mars approaches a contact point with Scorpio, and by extension, with ALL the water signs, you'll want to be prepared. When water hits the hot metal, depending on the condition in the individual Pisces chart, it can look and feel like an explosion. There are ways to void this sudden release of energy, though, and that's through some careful and methodical work. List making, especially at a time like this, especially in the earlier part of the month, might be a good idea. Make lists of folks to send holiday notes to, look at what packages arrive, and make lists of thank you notes, too. Make lists of lists. Are you going to accomplish everything? Probably not, but hey, if you're like my good Pisces friend, it doesn't matter, you can just chime in, "It's on the list -- I'll get to it soon." Works for me, and it should work for you, too.

November 30, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Life itself is a bumpy road, but much you do today will help fill in some of the potholes and make the going much smoother for you and all concerned. Treat a loved one with the consid- eration, love, and respect, that you want for yourself and you will surely get it. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) being unkind and petty today with someone with whom you have a work relationship may be the straw that breaks the camels back so be careful that you take time to praise, not run down this persons efforts in the workplace. Loved ones plan a big sur- prise for you. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) A cancer who is very supportive of your efforts will have much to do today in advancing your career. A love relationship may be on the rocks and you must recognize this before the pieces washes up on the beach; a good time for letting go. CANCER (June 22-July 22) A chance remark from a loved one gives you what may turn out to be a million dollar idea...run with it. A challenge at work may only make you stronger if you meet it head on. Give a friend all the help you can as well as the benefit of the doubt. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Donating to your favorite charity this time of year is always helpful, but you can be of much more worth to this worthy cause if you donate your time as well as your money. Fiery Leo has a quick temper today and should control it before it can cause some irreparable damage to a relationship. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) A compliment haunts you today as you feel it means something... It does! Your subconscious is telling you to live up to it, as this is the way you should be inside and not just on the sur- face. Avoid putting off the inevitable today. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) An air of mystery and intrigue is great today as it helps to draw romantic relationships to you today and you will be able to pretty much take your pick of admirers. At work, delays may seem irritating but they serve to give you that little extra time that you will need to complete certain projects. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Forget the small stuff today as you are wide open for the big- ger things to come into your life now and you will soon find yourself living life to the fullest; better income and finan- cial structure is only a part of it. Romance also figures in this day for you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) An idea for redecorating your living space generates so much positive response from friends and family that you strongly consider opening a small redecorating shop...perhaps, at first, on a consultation only basis for do it yourselfers. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Stand up for yourself, your rights, or your ideas today as you receive resistance to what you know to be best for you and your own. Today is good for putting in some time on planning for the long holiday trip that you and the family are considering. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) An old acquaintance feels moved by the holidays and manages to repay quite a sum of money that has been owed to you for a long time. The balance will come forth before the new year. This windfall enables you to expand your holiday plans to an extent that you would not have though possible. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A good career break is coming your way and you may hear of it today. Detail work is all important on that creative project that you are working on...miss even the smallest and the whole thing will need redoing. Friends come over for some holiday entertainment.

November 30, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Study all the facts before you present your ideas to the higher ups. You'll have to discuss your position in much more depth than you anticipated. However, you'll impress the boss if you have all the information at your fingertips. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You'll meet an old flame in the most unusual place today. This is going to be good for you since you'll be able to heal an old wound. It probably wouldn't benefit for you to keep in touch so don't offer your phone number. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Has anyone told you how wonderful you've been during a topsy-turvy time at work? If not, you'll get a lot of praise today. There has finally been a breakthrough and you'll reap the benefits of all your hard work. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Don't take a good situation for granted. Make sure you get done what you need to get done. Others will feel like you are taking advantage of them and the good favors will stop -- and quickly!

ohmygosh, there was a breakthrough with one of my bigger projects today.

(i don't know why i wasn't showing up...hmmmmmm......)

ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Today you may lose the first battle but the war is far from over and you could come out the winner in the long run. Another Aries may have designs on your love and your affection and you find this suits you just right! A great evening for affairs of the heart. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) By forming a partnership with a Capricorn and an Aries you will have a winning combination for making your small business grow even beyond your expectations. Hire a Virgo for your adman and you will have it made. Holiday joy at its finest is yours to- night. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Many influential people will enter your life in the nest few weeks and you will meet some who will be most helpful to you tonight if you accept that offer to attend a social event staged for the benefit of charitable causes. Forgive a be- loved relative who needs it but may or may not deserve it. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Developing an optimistic attitude today will help you over some rough hurdles and smooth the way for your advancement at work. Send a loved one flowers in his or her workplace to establish your tie in the eyes of those who would be otherwise persistent in pressing their own suit with your loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Look for a business or stock investment to pay off in time for the holiday celebrations, enabling you to do much more than you thought you would be able to this year. Your organ- izing skills are at a premium today and you use them wisely in your working environment. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) In fulfilling a contract for creative work today you could do yourself a favor by collaborating with a Pisces or even a Cancer for some creative ideas as this is a good creative time for those signs and this could mean quicker dollars in your pocket. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You find yourself making a lot of new friends since you have begun the new job as it draws you into a whole new circle of acquaintances. New is good, but don't neglect the old ones who have been around for a number of years. A romantic attach- ment to a Leo may be too hot to handle. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Remember, that all the good horoscope readings in the world will mean nothing if you do not go out and let the world have a go at you...or vice versa! Surprise yourself today and go to a semi important social function, you never know what could happen, romance wise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Being imaginative and having a flair for creativity can make a little go a long way and you manage to do that today as you use your skills in decorating your home for the holidays. The yard displays are a thing of beauty and may even be a prize winner. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Investing in the future of an Arian should prove to be a good one so don't hesitate to help her get the show on the road, you will be greatly repaid for such a small sum. If you must question the morals of someone close to you, then you should first be sure yours can stand the test of scrutiny. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) In this wonderful season of miracles you may have one of your own...an angel may be walking at your side any time, but you have to look around to see it...Hmmm..does the angel look like a down at the heels stranger? Offer some help and listen to the song in your heart soar with joy. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) After working so hard to get working conditions improved at work you will find your popularity has increased many-fold when the holiday invitations start to pour in. A call from far away today may trouble you but the problem has a simple solution and you will find it.

above and below is for December 1, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Even though you don't want to go, a social event will help you network tonight. It won't be much but you'll make a connection that will help you finish a long overdue personal project. Ask this Gemini for their phone number -- you'll need to connect later! FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You don't have to put up with someone else's ignorance. You have the opportunity to stand up for someone who can't stand up for himself. Your actions will positively affect other people and change their way of thinking. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Your intuition is right on today -- no matter how silly it seems to be. Follow what your heart is saying because it knows what's best for you. A friend can help you put the wheels in motion for a brand new project. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Mechanical problems will drive you crazy today. At least what needs to be fixed is simple and inexpensive so don't worry too much about it. While you wait, you can catch up on some reading!

I seem to be doing everything wrong this week. Wolfie this on is for you!!! I can't wait till January - and all this stuff is over...

Britney Spears is as much a devout Christian as I am an Orthodox Sikh. She only makes herself look even more ridiculous by making such claims. If she'd just come out and declare that she 'wants to be a hooker when she grows up' then I'm sure we'd all have a lot more respect for her. Especially in that schoolgirl kit. :-)

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Devoting time to a pet project should not take precedence over social commitments today as there will be plenty of time to get these things done before Christmas if you set aside an hour a day strictly for your project.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Someone entrusts you with a personal confidence and you keep their secret.

how about laying in bed for two days with the louisiana crud? social activities do have my head in a whirl!! *HUGS* to marcia!!!

wait, make that four days, i've been out of work for two days (can you believe they sent me home?)

Did not know The Man ever sent anyone home!!! December 13, 2000 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn While someone may have some good suggestions for you, keep your guard up. Keep in mind this person is working for their own benefit and not necessarily yours. Ask a lot of questions to make sure their suggestions are within not only standard policy but your own morality. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Someone you know is playing both sides against the middle. Before you condemn this person, look at what their motivation is for doing this. You might be able to nip it in the bud if you take the time to speak with this person. They only want something small to you but really big to them. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra A friendship is going to go through a huge change. Don't fight it -- let it play out the way it's supposed to. You'll be feeling very emotional so cut yourself some slack. It will all turn out for the best. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A childlike person makes you laugh and brings you a lot of joy. Even though this takes some time out of your day, you should stop and enjoy your time with this person. Have some faith -- the angels will delegate your work while you enjoy this time.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your thinking and planning is so down to earth today that it up- sets your mate who thinks it would be better to go out and enjoy these few days of joy rather than to sit home and save money. A long talk and a compromise will work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Daydreaming is sometimes good for helping you plan your way to the top, but the best place not to do it is on the job as it will appear as plain old wool gathering to the boss and could cost you those big strides forward you have been making re- cently. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) It is a good day for making some very large monetary decisions but not a day for gambling or taking any kind of financial risk with either the business funds or the family bank account.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Devoting a lot of time today to study or to research will be of great benefit to you in the near future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Listen carefully to a suggestion from a friend today on ways to make your business grow; you could come up with something great. Do not listen to rumors no matter how much you may feel upset by them, always give the other person a chance to explain. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) This is a good day for making presentations at work and to talk one on one with business higher ups and peers alike. You can get your points across with a lot more clarity at this time. Take care of old bills that may crop up today so they don't hang around and haunt your holidays.

A lot of work, not mushy romanticism, is your way of showing you care on a practical level.

JANUARY 2001 Astrological overview:Lunar echo as there's a small eclipse just around the King's birthday, a most holy of days. Then, late in the month, Mr. Saturn and Mr. Jupiter change their relative positions in the heavens, and we all see some of the promise of the new year start to develop. Mars spends the month in Scorpio, his home, and Venus brings love and light to the Pisces portion of the sky -- shortly after the beginning of the year. So how's this going to work out, just for this month? Personally, I'm looking forward to the guys in Abilene who all go water skiing on the first -- such typical Texas behavior is the perhaps the best way to see the year off to a good start. Aries [3. 21 - 4. 19]: A wise person once admonished me, "Good things come to those who wait." Sure, sounds nice. Works for some people. But as a fishing analogy, if the fish just ain't biting where you're at, then it is time to move. "Are you sure about that?" is the frequent question. Yes. It's a definitive answer. What works really well in one pond, just doesn't seem to apply in others. One day, a little plastic worm -- not a normal, natural color -- one day, that sort of bait works great. The next day, you need to use a little bit of stink bait. See, being ready to try something different is good. Being ready to forgo what just isn't working, especially at this time of the year, see, that's the right idea. Follow your instincts on this one, and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results. Now, following instincts, and following desires, those are two different things. I'm tending to believe your gut instinct on this one. Make sure it's the feeling in your heart, though, and not the feeling a little lower. That's where the trouble starts. Taurus [4. 19 - 5.20]: There should be a little bit of welcome relief in the coming weeks. I'll promise that. You've still got some old stuff which you've been avoiding, but then, I could probably suggest that for anyone. And rather than deal with bland generalizations, let's look at some specific instances right now. Yes, you should be wealthy. Odds are, it won't be a lottery type win, not this month. But a little bit of concentrated effort, a little bit of looking at the what you can do to take full advantage of the situation (you know which one I'm talking about), a little bit of extra effort right now, during this month, will pay off big. In fact, before the end of the month, you should be seeing some rewards for this hard work. I'm a little dubious about the hard work thing myself. I would suppose that it is a little hard for me to preach what I don't know about myself, but I do know charts, and that's what is suggested in yours. Hard work includes looking for a chance to plan a vacation, if you get the hint. Gemini [5.21- 6. 21]: One of the words which most of the Gemini's I know really don't like, one of the words which seems to carry a little extra weight, perhaps even an evil connotation, one of the words which is not always met with a universal display of profound happiness, one of those words is "work." So what's up with work this month? Aren't you glad you asked? You're too busy, covering too much ground, and trying to be in three places at once, which, given your basic Gemini sentiment, shouldn't be too much of a problem. But it is. It's not you, see, it's that mean old Mr. Johnson (or Smith or Jones, or whatever his or her name is) and that person seems to have some very high expectations of you. Abnormally high. This isn't a problem, as long as you don't need to worry about everyday stuff like doing laundry, going on a date, seeing movie, or reading a book. Or even reading your horoscope occasionally. If you don't mind being all consumed with one thing like work, then it's okay. But if you attempt to have a life, you might have to draw on some of those extra special Gemini powers, and you might wind up having to be two places at once. Even three. The cause of your consternation? Jupiter, that lucky star. Cancer [6. 22 - 7. 22]: At the beginning of a new year, it's not always the best time for a sensitive Cancer type. There's the odd influence of the sun, making his way through Capricorn, and that always serves to drown out and obscure some of the better feelings which should be floating around. But if you can avoid the influence of the sun himself, then there's still a some of the odd stuff going on which looks good for you. It's not like it's a major influence, but paying attention to some spurious details at times like this -- looking at the details really helps. It's just a matter of the sorting out process which is important. What details really do require attention? What details are best left for other signs? And as long as Venus is in Pisces, you'll find that you have a somewhat flippant way of dealing with other peoples' emergencies. Try my phrase: "Just because it's an emergency for you -- doesn't make it my emergency, too." Or something like. You get the general drift, I hope. Leo [7. 23 - 8. 23]: The new year, for the delightful sign of the Leo, is going to get off to a rocky start. Not necessarily rocky in a bad way, just a lot more loose ends scattered across your road. Perhaps there are a few things left unsaid, or comments you would like to edit out, and maybe a certain Scorpio is back to haunt you, or worse, back to taunt you. It's time to cash in on your wonderful, magnanimous nature. I've always subscribed to the notion that every Leo has a strong strain of noble blood, coursing through his or her veins. Cash in on this inherent Leo nobility. Do the right thing. Do what is the best possible action, especially given the circumstances. It's not always in the noble Leo blood to quietly acquiesce to the whims of others, but shouldering some responsibility would helpful. And try doing so quietly. I realize this isn't in your nature, but to suffer in a noble way might actually pay off, just not yet. Concentrate on being the solid rock which you are. Concentrate on matters at hand. And if your work load doubles, accept it with Leo grace. If you're like me, then we both could use the increase. Virgo [8. 24 - 9. 22]: Welcome to the new year! There's just one, little, minor, not so very important detail which some astrology forecasts seem to be overlooking this month, and it has to do with the relative position of Venus, for most of the month, in the sign which is opposite you. This is by no means death defying, earthshaking, or even that troublesome. But Venus in opposition to your sign points out little problems. The course of true love never, ever seems to run very smooth, and that's something you want to remember. So when small events start hitting a rocky road, like in the first week of the new year, don't let these minor troubles escalate into bigger problems. There's really nothing to worry about, and there's not a lot you can do about Venus, other than take some of the vague promises of joy, and temper all those promises with a degree of reality. Sure, reality is ugly word around here at the office, but being a Virgo, you like to think that you are grounded and very realistic. So with this month, you might want to go back and look at some of those outlandish New Year's resolutions you made. Did you really want to give up that particular vice? Or were you being more hopeful and less realistic? Libra [9. 23 - 10. 22]: New Years' resolutions are wonderful. A great idea. An excellent start to the get the year off to a nice, uplifting point. Right. Looks good on paper, but as the month begins to unfold, you remember that you gave up Amy's Ice Cream for your New Year resolution, and we get one of those hot days when nothing will satisfy like some cool, delicious premium Texas Ice Cream. Should you fudge on the resolution, and so soon into the new year? Good question. One that you need to ask yourself. It's one of the questions which pops up during this month. Maybe it wasn't something for your sweet tooth which you gave up, maybe it was something else. But no matter what you've decided to give up, it still comes back to haunt you this month. Not much can be done, but it would help if you were a little more willing to adjust your outlook some. Me? I tried to give up work, but you know how that one went. First Mr. Landlord wanted some rent money for this trailer's spot, then the phone bill, then the electric bill. You can see how this is going. Guess I picked the wrong time to give up working. Scorpio [10. 23 - 11. 22]: Dispense with other forms of wisdom right now. All month long, you play host to Mars. A house guest is sometimes a great pleasure, but I've discovered that the perfect time, the correct amount of exposure to a house pest, is about three days. Like bait which has seen better days, the house guest begins to develop some annoying habits, and sometimes, they smell like that bait after it's had its better days. So you've got a three day window with Mars, and then the rest of time, you're going to be wondering just why you decided to host this sucker in the first place. Relax. Mars is intimately associated with your sign, and he likes being with you. By the end of the month, though, you'll be glad that he's motoring off to other signs, as you will be a little tired of the Martian antics by then. Saddle up, prepare for the visit, Get ready. Do your housecleaning ahead of time because when Mars starts making merry, you'll find yourself effectively out of time for anything else. Sagittarius [11. 22 - 12. 22]: The beginning of the year is supposed to be a time when one looks back over the last year, pauses, reflects a little, and then makes some judgment calls about what's coming up. What bait works right? What bait is best relegated to the recycling bin? And before making weighty decisions, I'd like to suggest that the Sagittarius in all of us take a little extra time with this pause and reflect idea. There's a problem with the relative position of Jupiter, in the opposite sign -- Gemini -- and that's making for some uncomfortable energy. It's about rash behavior right now, a tendency to toss out things -- like that bait -- which can be put to use a little later. Or in another way. Some live bait which has gone horribly bad actually does a have good use as catfish bait. Likewise, before totally abandoning a project or person, consider that there might be some half life leftover, and make sure you know just what it is that you're really getting rid of. By the end of the month, the planets all begin to march in a more orderly direction, and stuff like that bait you threw out, stuff just like that, might have a use yet. Capricorn [12. 23 - 1. 18]: In the Northern Hemisphere, the days start getting perceptibly longer at the beginning of the Capricorn cycle. This month is characterized by this gradual warming trend. It's also characterized by a gradual business climate warming trend, as well. Now, this idea of work doesn't apply to every sign, but the Sea Goat gets a good shot at some business stuff right now. It might not happen all at once, like noticing the days are really getting longer, but it does happen, and the location you have on the planet has little to do with the gradual heat applied to your business ventures. Ever cautious, though, you might want to peer with a cynical eye at this gradual increase. What with the way things have been, you might be a bit worried, but you can plot a few of the trends, and you can see that your own, personal Capricorn stock is starting to nudge upwards. There will be, before this month is all over, a sudden increase in your personal worth. Play the hunch, and guard your hand -- there's no reason to share your guarded optimism with everyone, just a select few. Aquarius [1. 19 - 2. 18]: There is always this one Aquarius who claims I always miss her birthday because it comes so early in the Aquarius cycle, right at the beginning. So? So I'm in a constant state of trouble -- I've gotten used to my lot in life. Why worry about the missed opportunities right now? What's up with this and the month? There's going to be a pervasive sense that there was a missed chanced when Venus was firmly in the Aquarius portion of the sky, and this sense of missed chances is like looking back, and wondering "what if" as in "what if I had actually said 'yes' instead of 'not yet'?" I hope this message is clear -- it's about getting a second chance, a new opportunity, a second chance to make good on the promise. I shuffle through the Austin airport on a regular basis, and one particular airline offers free doughnuts on Saturday morning. Free coffee, too, although their coffee is pretty bad. But the doughnuts are good. I overslept one morning, and missed my early flight. But I got to the airport in time to catch the next plane, and miraculously enough, there was also half a box of free doughnuts left over. That's what this month is like, just when it looks like all is lost, there's a last gasp, second opportunity. Never look a gift doughnut in the mouth. Pisces [2. 19 - 3. 20]: Venus means love and light, and all that gooey good stuff. The problem being, that when this note first hits the wire, Venus is just passing out of a position where she's been making some trouble with Mr. Mars. Depending on the point of reference, and to mix up mythological systems a little, consider that Venus was a war-like heavenly indication according to some of the Central American societies, back a few thousand years ago. So the mix up from Mars and Venus is going to set a tone of apprehension as the month begins. It's like me telling you -- dear Pisces -- that the troubles are all going away and getting better, and you're going to look at me with one of those lopsided, quizzical, cynical sneers, and say, "Yeah, sure. When?" The answer to your rude question is soon enough. Imagine that the month is divided into thirds. First third is putting pieces back together, everything which fell apart last month. The second third -- middle portion -- is getting better, and the final portion of the month is absolutely great. It's as if all those troubles are nothing more than a distant memory. Look for Venus to heat up the love stuff, one way or another.

Great, welcome to 2001. (2001 music from Arthur C Clark movie plays in background). I hope you all had a wonderful New Years night. I did.

Mine was alone and quiet but the neighbors all put on fireworks shows... Next Year, Watch out. I'm gonna make up for all the years of quietude... Saw 6th Street in Austin (is that Jazz row?)on the telly and thought of y'all.

But I did have fun online... Lots of little windows with conversations into the wee hours... *naughty smiles*

That's great, Marci, glad you had a good 2001 Eve.

January 2, 2001 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) An unexpected, and uninvited guest shows up out of the blue for an extended visit and you find yourself pressed for time and space but you do not let this daunt you as you make room for one more. Children may feel out of sorts and a little cantankerous today but you deal admirably with them. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) A good friend has been keeping an eye on your latest project, or home based business, and he or she has some definite ideas that he/she wants to share with you. Take a few minutes to listen to this person and you will find just exactly what you have been searching for. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Your mind will be centered on study or research today and you find you have a breakthrough even if it is only a new, inspired, form of work, or method of research that will get you to your goal faster. Talking with loan officers and managers will be gainful for you today. CANCER (June 22-July 22) It is not wise to loan money as you may never get it back. Deal- ings with the public is favored today as your charisma is show- ing, and you will have a greater response to your ideas than you have had in the past. You will have a small domestic dispute in the evening after a smooth day at work. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) It would be good to take everything you hear with a grain of salt and pretend you are from Missouri, (take a show me attitude), as there is a high probability of deception in your interactive affairs now. This is also not a good day to put any credence into rumors you may hear about anything. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) If you are interested in the writing arts and anything to do with the printed word, this appears to be your day for inspiration, creativity, and even contracts as your ability to express yourself is at its optimum today. Talking with agents and partners are also highly favored at this time. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) This is a good day for shopping or spending on a safe venture but not a good day at all for gambling pursuits as there could be los- ses in risk taking for you. Domestic activity should be of great interest to you tonight as your spouse may have a wonderful sur- prise for you!! SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Being argumentive at work is not recommended today as this could be detrimental to your status, and possibly cause you to come close to losing your position. Be careful today if you work around any type of machinery don't get absent minded at the wrong time. Creative ideas in the afternoon. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A domestic dispute has the wheels turning but you lean more in a practical manner in making up with your spouse. Love is in your heart, but down to earth basics is in your mind; express the love if you hope to win this one. A raise, or bonus could be yours on this day. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today you get the ok from your partner to go ahead and implement the changes you knew would be necessary in the past and already had planned out and ready. This would not be a good day to take any financial risks, either small or large, as everything holds the possibility of loss when it comes to money. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Your credit card has come through just in time for you to catch some bargains before the 1999 prices go through the roof, just be careful you do not overdo it and max. out the card right away so that it becomes just another monthly debt and you've lost the usefulness, of having it. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) One of those rare, calm, days when you have the emotions under control and everything seems to click into place for you. You will find it easy today to finalize plans and agreements you have been involved in and even the children are angels, so smile and enjoy your beautiful, though cold, day.

January 2, 2001 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Before you write someone out of your life, look at your motivations. They may be being difficult right now but they have reason to be. Instead of running away, ask if you can help. You may be surprised by the answer. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Your flair for positive communication will come in handy with an aggressive client. You'll say just the right thing to alleviate their fears. Make sure to follow through on your promises -- it will enhance your reputation. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra Since you have some free time on your hands, this would be a good time to catch up on some reading. You'll find there is more information out there that you need to tap into so you can travel to a higher realm. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces Make sure you know what your schedule is for the rest of the week because you don't want to miss an important meeting. You'll notice there is a possibility you may have double booked - take care of this immediately.

January 3, 2001 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) You are able to be more at ease with members of the opposite sex. It is also a time to experience a greater balance be- tween your egotistical senses and emotional feelings. As you are more at ease, the opportunity is greater for making new friends that have quite an impact on you. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today you are devoted to fulfilling obligations and accepting responsibility. This puts you in a position to enthusiastically take on the tasks which you usually try to avoid. This will earn you recognition from your boss and others, even if you don't try to call attention to yourself. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) This is a time when you may discuss and explore the deeper emotional needs of you and your partner. This may occur due to a variety of reasons, from a desire to be closer or because of some conflict. The overall goal here is essentially to enhance the balance in a relationship. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Your desires and conscious will are more in harmony at this time, so you should be able to work well with other people. Although your assertiveness will be strong, it is unlikely that you want to become aggressive or agitated. This is also a time to re- assert any position of authority that you have, both personally and/or with others. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Problems or challenges at this time can force you to examine your motive and involvement within certain groups. Even if you general- ly prefer to work in isolation, you may be forced to work in cooperation with others during this period. Being open minded will help significantly. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Today you sense a desire for recognition and want to be treated well by others. Even when you are the center of attention, you aren't sure how you should express your affection because you prefer to take. It would be good to relax today and find your own way to initiate creative activities. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Personality traits which you dislike may come to the surface. Don't try to suppress them but learn to accept this part of yourself. When you manage this you will return to a state of inner harmony. Almost everyone has had unpleasant emotions which just won't disappear, but talking to other people about it will quickly confirm that it is part of being human. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Contact with members of the opposite sex are in favor today. This is because you are more at ease, and therefore it is also a good time to engage in social activities, particularly in your home. This is also a good time to work on any unresolv- ed area of your emotional life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Today you will sense a deep longing to confront other people's problems and concerns. Being able to hold Neptune's overcast temperament in check, you will have no need to seek escape in reverie. Because this time favors activities with others, today others may ask for your assistance and you will react as though you had been waiting for just that. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) At times, certain unconscious feelings may surface that causes you to act in a more secretive manner, in order to hide such feelings from others. This occurs if you sense that others will not accept you if they found out. Try to balance your conscious feelings with those of your sub-conscious feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) You may be confronted by people who challenge your objectives in the outer world. Conflicts with others may arise, especial- ly with managers or those in authority. If conflicts do arise, try to learn from the situation, and don't be too demoralized. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) You should try to be aware of any inconsistency in the way you present your feelings towards others. If this is the case, meditate on a greater balance between your emotional feelings and the surface conscious mind. Try to be aware as to whether you possess sufficient humility.

January 4, 2000 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) This day is especially suited for setting your own goals and starting to realize them. You have your own variety of "healthy egotism" and you could meet up with influen- tial people who will support you. This will enable you to approach your work with plenty of confidence whereby you probably won't hide your light under a bushel. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Try to avoid taking drugs or alcohol for a day or so, as your susceptibility to these could leave you vulnerable. This is because you are more sensitive than usual to the influence of chemicals and drugs. During this time of ultra-sensitivity, physical realities can dissolve. For some, a settled way of life can lose its sense of direc- tion, but this occurs to purify the soul. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today reason will meet with emotion. Logic doesn't have much room in your life, you prefer to respond from the gut. Thinking and acting objectively won't be the easi- est of tasks. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Today harmonious powers are at work which could be useful for a new project. At the moment you have a lot of good ideas for putting them to constructive use without creat- ing stress. Physically, you are in good shape and you won't let the day go by without physical exertion. Even if it is strenuous you get a lot of enjoyment out of it. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) The wider issues of life beyond the home and family can be affected during the transit of the Sun in this house. Even if you are not the focus of attention by others, this is a time when you should consider your role and activities within society, the community or at work. Due to a natural charge of energy at this time, the opportunity exists to succeed more easily than at other times. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) This could be a day when a compromise is needed. Your will -power may be lacking. You may feel more restricted today in expressing affection to others and seek self-gratifying pleasures to the exclusion of others. Assertion is often tempered under this transit, to the point of laziness or wanting to take it easy. Delay buying non-essential items or concluding financial deals. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You could be challenged on your position or beliefs. This may occur as a result of a more direct expression by your- self of your perceptions of people and things. If you sense being in an over reactive mood, try to use restraint, whether in speech or driving! It's a great day for being tactful. By being cool, calm and collective, you will avoid the danger of stressing the body in some way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Today fate will present you with the challenge of taking care of your obligations and dealing with the consequences of your actions. You have the chance to recognize the meaning of your work and deal rationally with the challenges of your daily life. If you are not in tune with yourself and are trying to avoid your obligations and deny assistance to others, this could make itself noticeable on the physical level in the form of an illness. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) You may experience an emotional period when you feel notice- ably in tune with the life around you. As such, you are more able to become emotionally involved in what you are doing. This is a great time to naturally get in touch with your deepest feelings, perhaps through meditation. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) A time when you should find it easy to reach agreement with others. Some new friends or romance is possible. Your popu- larity can be enhanced.

January 29, 2001 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn It's a great day to spend some time with a special friend or companion today - you will find much joy in seeing eye-to-eye with someone. You should find harmony and a balanced give and take in everything you do today. It's a wonderful time for sharing, negotiating, and reaching agreements of all kinds. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You'd like to move on today, but in order to do so, you have to stay alert and focused. Laziness + indecision = zero progress. If you have been wronged in some way, expect a turnabout or apology today.. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra A new idea is presented to you. You can change it into two possibilities available to you. However, you need to decide whether you want to go down this road in the first place. Don't make a decision too quickly -- ask for some time to decide. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces A loving and helpful Aquarian person may be on your mind today. It's a great day to nurture and to receive. Your angels are close to you and supportive of all your humanitarian efforts. There is a positive light shining on you - so soak up the glow. ------------------- ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Keeping your head down today will work for most people but not you. This is the day you need to get out there and sell your abilities to the highest bidder, in other words this is an ideal time to up- grade to a better job or a newer position. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) You have the ability to go far in your line of expertise and you make the most of your opportunities today. On other fronts, some- one out there may be thinking they are too old to learn something new, but that is far from the truth, the only important thing in this enterprise is your sharp, active mind. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You have found an idea that you feel you can make work for you only to realize the thing has been used over and over. That does not matter, your ideas may be better than anyone else's, you can take a small idea and enlarge on it; competition only whets your appetite for excellence. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Don't drag your heels today with a loved one, because if you do, it is a sure bet that you will not be given any more time in his or her thoughts, wait until the excitement dies down and then you will be able to calmly talk out your differences. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Breaking up a partnership could get disastrous for your finances and the business so maybe it would be a better idea to concede a few points instead of losing the ball game. You may even grow to like the ideas he or she presents you with when you remove antag- onism from the picture. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) New designs and ideas are beginning to take hold and you will soon see some positive results. A new partnership could get off on the wrong foot if you do not draw up some papers to legalize it. Leav- ing something like this to chance could be disastrous for a sur- viving partner. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) A personal relationship may have you stressed to the max., and this would be a good day to plan to take a short trip to put some dis- tance between you and your problem. Once you can see the entire problem, you will have it well in hand. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Make the most of this day by going after what you want in the job market, for today you will get it. Home based ideas also look good. You are full of charm and wit today and you will find people are more open and receptive to you and your ideas. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) A short mini vacation is favored for you and a loved one. No spouse? ask a friend to go along and double your fun. Work today is mainly routine and you could get off fairly early which will give you a head start on this wonderful vacation. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Following your intuition will be a wise thing to do today as a strong urge, or feeling that you really should be somewhere, could put you in the right place at just the right time. If you are in business for yourself, you may find a new partner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) A small upset on the job may put your employment in danger, but the truth wills out and you are cleared. Evening will bring a small disappointment that will lead to a greater satisfaction if you follow your heart on this matter. Listen to a friend tonight. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) A loved one will need all your attention tonight to keep him or her from making a life shattering mistake. Unexpected help from behind the scenes go in your favor today as you are given an on the spot promotion due to the actions of a certain person.

Your Daily Horoscope for Monday, January 29, 2001 Coddling: Taurus persons, no matter what the age, enjoy being ``coddled.'' The other Venus sign, Libra, enjoys coddling, but often gives more affection than received. Treat Taurus as you would a baby, including baby talk, and you can't go wrong. Permit Libra to display affection and you win. Taurus and Libra, signs associated with Venus, find affection is as important to them as food and water. ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Apparent setback boomerangs in your favor. Within 24 hours cycle moves up, you'll be cited for unique honor. Psychic faculties honed to razor-sharpness. TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Pressure on, you will be up to it. Wish comes true. Tonight you could be ``in your glory.'' Capricorn, Cancer persons grab spotlight. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Individual in position of authority will be relieved of duty. This makes an opening for you. Take cold plunge into future. Aries represented. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Let go of preconceived notions. Imprint style, don't follow others. Focus on travel, excitement of romance. Leo, Aquarius individuals play roles. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Focus on direction, motivation and marital status. Financial maneuver will eventually favor you. Be receptive, don't attempt to force issues. Capricorn involved.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Legal agreement will be reached within 24 hours. Consider seriously proposals that include business and marriage. Scorpio will play major role. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Be ready for change of itinerary, read, write and teach. Member of opposite sex declares, ``I can hardly keep my hands off you!'' Virgo is in picture. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Attention revolves around home, familiar ground, beauty, romance and marriage. If diplomatic, you win. If you force issues, you lose. Taurus featured. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Get promises in writing, define terms and give attention to real estate opportunity. Relative who ``knows everything'' could fail miserably. Ask for help. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Insist on money being shown, not merely promised. Financial pressure relieved, you'll be looked upon as a ``leader.'' Accept the challenge of added responsibility. PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You are on precipice of fame and fortune. What was abandoned two months ago can now be successfully revived. Know it. Do something about it. IF JANUARY 29TH IS YOUR BIRTHDAY ... you are intuitive and experienced a change of name not necessarily associated with marriage. You are a natural teacher and psychologist, and are drawn to the mantic arts that include astrology. Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarius persons play major roles in your life, could have these letters, initials in names: B, K, T. February and November will be your most romantic, profitable months of the year.

Here's some home stuff I posted: http://www.wholetech.com

Ok - will look as soon as I get this posted: January 31, 2001 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Old friends are Gods gift and new friends can be just as important to you, remember, no one can have too many friends. Today you will be introduced to some in-laws who will gradually be drawn to you and will eventually become the closest of your friends. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) Today you could get a lot of career help from some unexpected developments that will definitely be in your favor, even if it is not at first apparent. Worry puts all those wrinkles in your face and doesn't help a soul do any better than they are doing. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) An investment offer comes your way today and you pluck it like the budding flower it is. Be careful you do not overpay as then you may feel like a plucked chicken. Marital squabbles should let up today as you and the spouse make a mutual agreement. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Marital relations are looking good today as you and your partner reach a mutual agreement concerning the childrens schooling. A sister in law also figures in this decision but he/she reserves opinion on the matter. An afternoon just made for kicking back. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) This is a great day for that party you have all planned for someone, be sure you have not forgotten to invite all his special friends, it should be a resounding success. Parents may demand some of your time today and you gladly give it to them. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The weather is just starting to warm up and you will find most people in a better mood as they look ahead to the springtime. Being hit with the bureaucrats at work in the afternoon is not your idea of good clean fun. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) If you spend too much money on a certain person it could put quite a strain on your budget and not endear you to the one person who will have to deal with changing your spending habits once you are married. Catch up on your chores, at least that is productive. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Today you get a chance to prove just how well equipped you are to handle the reins of the company as you assume control of your com- pany or district. Fair play business ethics will keep you on the top of the heap for many years to come. Your spouse is the ideal person with whom you should celebrate your good fortune. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) The financing for your new home is finalized today and you and the family pitch in and help the movers. Getting settled in will be the hard part so be sure to hang on to your temper as those nagging little irritations pop up. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Today you will have to be more flexible than normal as you will find many things you had in the works getting all changed around as people ignore your wishes and follow their own agendas. Pay no attention to them, just do your own thing today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Today is your day for creative planning; some of the ideas you come up with are brilliant, even the boss thinks so as he immediately makes one or two a mandatory routine for all employees. Take your spouse out for dinner, romance is in the air. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Be careful that you do not antagonize a friend today as it may just be the one person who's friendship you can't afford to lose. Advice that well meaning acquaintances give you tonight may not be approp- riate for your situation, so listen but don't take it. --------------------- EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn Even in chaos, you have everything under control. There is a change in your work or daily environment but it will work out okay. While things may seem to be unsure right now, keep your cool and ride the wave. The storm will calm eventually. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius You will have fond thoughts and a great relationship with a water sign woman today. Let your emotions show - spread your innate kindness and warmth to those around you. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra As well as things have been going, you've been forgetting you still need some physical rest. You may feel that you're running too fast to stop - but if you apply the brakes really slowly - you can make that much needed pit-stop. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces You'll find things aren't always what they seem. A friend or coworker has been going through a tough time and they're taking it out on you. Sit down and talk to them -- you'll find their issues have nothing to do with you.

******************** FEBRUARY OVERWIEW ******************** Astrological overview: Venus spends a great portion of this month in Aries, a fine place for her while Mars eventually moves from secretive Scorpio on into bodacious Sagittarius. Mercury, the littlest planet, has the biggest news as he bumps into Pisces, in the first week, then starts a backwards trek, all the way back through the preceding sign -- Aquarius. The little communicator's movement is going to be rather upsetting to all the air signs, most notably Gemini and Aquarius. In fact, Mr. Mercury and his backwards ways are the main influence, all month long. Aries [3. 21 - 4. 19]: Venus this and Venus that, and you're going to wonder if another planet is going to get any attention this month. Frankly, no. It's just much easier to concentrate on the one little one, that would be Miss Venus in all her shining glory. And as long as we're looking at her, and how she affects your sign, think about all the pleasures -- guilty pleasures -- which you should, could, would be enjoying if Mercury wasn't spending most of his time really playing at making your little deals seem like big deals. So be careful about over indulgence. You'll tend to want to have a good time, a little too much of a good thing, and then the timing is all wrong for this much fun. Get the idea? Slow down, maybe avoid the "all you can eat" buffet. You could take that as a challenge. Reminds me of just such a BBQ offer, and a friend of mine was determined to make sure he got his money's worth. It wasn't a pretty sight. He motored in under his own power, but by the end of the evening, we were pushing him out in a cart. I think it was that piece of pie which did him in. To be sure, he did get his money's worth, but at what price? So be a little careful during the next few weeks' time, and think twice before accepting that pleasurable challenge. Taurus [4. 19 - 5.20]: Pick up the pieces as the Taurus worlds seems to fall into a state of complete disrepair. Just pick up the pieces and keep moving. I'd suggest you keep moving forward, but that might not be the best idea, but you can always pretend. Make believe worlds are not always the best places to be, and a good Taurus doesn't live in a fantasy world -- but for right now, maybe even for the duration of this month, just such a place might be a better place to live. My little version of Taurus reality is a comfortable place where I don't have to work too hard, and the pleasure, the little pleasures which are so important, these can be found right at the end of my fingertips. But given the way the planets fall out of line right now, you might find this made up reality is a bit of a stretch. Close you eyes a little, give yourself a little stretch, arch you back some, and see if this doesn't seem to make it a little easier to reach that item, person, place, thing -- which seems to be evading your grasp. You might not make it, but you will feel much better. Gemini [5.21- 6. 21]: The Mercurial spin to the month does not spell doom and gloom, although, by the time this missive arrives, more than one Gemini will be complaining about the planet's errant behavior. See: it's not the particular planet's fault, no Mercury and his antics are easily predictable. The problem stems from the Gemini reactions to this. More often than not, I get frantic notes from the Gemini camp, about how everything in their lives are all messed up. The key is not to panic. Don't worry about the small stuff. Another friend has sage advice: "Don't sweat the petty things, and don't pet the sweaty things." It might not make sense to a non-Gemini person right now, but this is a good rule to follow to make it through the coming month. Simple, sound advice. A little disconcerting, but by no means the end of the world. Although, at times, it will certainly feel like that. Cancer [6. 22 - 7. 22]: Yes, well let me tell you a little tale, it's a sad story about going with a new friend to a little town, just south of Austin, a place called Lockhart. What a good name for Valentine's Day, right? Get a lock on that heart. Anyway, this one little town is famous for several BBQ places. One was in business in the same location for 99 and a half years. Good stuff. When they moved, they ceremoniously carried burning embers from the old pit to the new location. Another place has been in the same family longer than any other BBQ place in Texas, possibly in the world. What can be said about Lockhart? Looks like they eat a lot of meat there. Now, I was out to impress this one person, so I suggested an outing to this town. Bound to find something to please her, right? Turns out, my big idea, my great idea, my idyllic afternoon dreams were a little shattered by one fact I overlooked: she was a Vegetarian. Instead of pulling a stunt like I did, I really recommend you check out all the facts first. Maybe even double check them. Nothing is worse, than lining up with your date at the BBQ counter, watching them slice delicious farm animals, seared to perfection, watching that mouth watering food [and good intentions] go to waste. And nothing is worse than a lame excuse like, "The Potato Salad and Cole Slaw are vegetables, right? You can eat that?" You get the picture. It's Mercury, it's your love life, and little bit of thoughtful preparation would really help. Leo [7. 23 - 8. 23]: It is not the end of the world, in fact, shortly after the big celebration, there's a turning point, after St. Valentine's Day, there's a shift in directions which is good. After you get over the marketing hype, the failed encounters, the mistaken directions, after you get passed all that, then there's a good thing or two which should be happening. With the right sense of humor, you can be amazed at what's going on. The promise of Valentine's Day is pretty much broken; however, right after that fateful day, there's a change, and your life begins to look a lot better. And those annoying, minor details which have been so problematic in the past are less of a problem as the second half of the month begins. The individual calamities associated with Mercury's mayhem really aren't that bad. I'd just suggest you watch what you do beforehand. Be a little more careful about what you say. There's a good little speech in Hamlet, from Polonius, and I've always liked it. "Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar." [Hamlet -- Act I, scene iii, line 61] That little bit of advice is the way I'd look at this month, easy words to suggest, but it might need some Leo like attention to get through it all. Virgo [8. 24 - 9. 22]: The tiniest of hints suggest that there's some good which will emerge from this astrological mess of a month. There will be, of course, in the Virgo camp, much wringing of the hands, much gnashing of the teeth, much shaking of the fists at the skies. Ain't my fault, it's just Mercury, and see: he's doing his backward thing in a Fixed Air Sign. Communications go right down the toilet, and I'd borrow a bit of symbolism from the Gemini camp, learn not to freak out when something doesn't work right. If Project A is not going according to your perfect Virgo plan, then move onto Project B. Or, if that doesn't work, then try number three [Project C]. You've got a whole alphabet to work with, and after that, you can always double up on the digits, in order to keep moving forward. See? It's not that bad. There are a few, little, minor, frustrating things which seem to keep cropping up, but if you get a big hammer, you can just hit the problems on the head. While this won't solve the problem itself, it will keep everything in a slightly stunned state for the duration. Libra [9. 23 - 10. 22]: It's all kind of relative, or maybe it's because some of my relatives are Libra, but this is such a weird little month, it all gets up and rolls around backwards. You know the Mercury thing, big problems for little folks. Or is that little problems for big people? There are a couple of high points, and these lovely little astrological indicators suggest that your life is a little easier than, say, the guy sitting next to you. At the beginning of the month, there's a rather uncomfortable blip on your Libra monitor, that thing you use to ascertain what it's like outside. There's a little blip which indicates danger. You will probably avoid this blip and its message. While ignoring it does have a certain appeal, I'm not sure the real problem is ever addressed. But ignore it anyway, and see what happens. The rest of the time, and despite the little problems so often associated with a major Mercury Retrograde, things seem okay. Maybe not the best, but you are less inclined to worry about some of the stuff which seems to be falling down around other peoples' heads. Now, as Mars drags himself into Sagittarius, get ready for the fun to begin. Your mouth is going to be like my old truck's motor, it sputters, it takes a few tries to get it to run right, but eventually, it gets chugging down the road. Same with you, you might not get started right, or might not start out right the first time, but eventually, you get chugging down that road, and other folks begin to understand you a little better. Scorpio [10. 23 - 11. 22]: There is magic in the air, but it's not like this is anything you can reach out and actually touch. It's like the mist on the lake in the morning, the early winter mornings here in Texas, and while I can describe this mist with great detail, it's not like I can reach out and accurately lay a finger on it. Same problem with the magic in your life this month. You can't quite get a grasp on it. Worried about who is doing what to whom? Mercury spends most the month in a bad place for you, confusing some issues, while, at the same time, you have Mr. Mars, in Scorpio for the first part of the month. That's usually pretty good for you, but this one has a little kick, and I'm not sure you like being kicked like this. About the only part of your life which feels remotely stable is work, and even that's questionable, especially at the first of the month when you have way too much energy, and no one (this is getting redundant) is listening to you. Your great ideas, your wonderful plans, none of that is getting advanced at a pace to suit you. You're getting a little bit of a run around, all month long, and rather than let this get under your Scorpio skin, I'd let it slide. There is an amusing quality to all of this, take out your Scorpio sense of humor, dust off your wit, and get ready to mince a few metaphors. Now, this magic will be floating around all month, but it's not anything you can lay your little Scorpio pincers on, so relax. Luxuriate, when you can, in the feeling as the tides of time shift stuff more your direction as the month gets longer. Sagittarius [11. 22 - 12. 22]: I think it's high time I returned to that land down under. I really should make another trip to Australia because it's been so long since my last visit. And what better place to be when Mars starts warming us up, here in Sagittarius. It all starts the day after Valentine's Day, and we need to get comfortable with Mars. He's here for a long haul, and sooner or later, he will insist on being felt. Doesn't help much that Mercury is busy dragging himself back and forth in one of our favorite signs, either. Travel when Mercury is backwards isn't always a good idea -- works fine for me -- but I know about the delays, and I always carry a good book to read. Anyway, in Australia, everything is reversed from what it is up here: the toilet bowls spin in the opposite direction, their Winter is a our Summer, their Spring is our Fall, and so forth. Makes looking at the Mercury business going on all month seem okay, everything is fine, it's just backwards. Due to the way Mars is spinning right now, all the Sagittarius are suddenly energized like never before. Only, with Mercury causing mayhem, we've got it all backwards, too. So, the best solution is to go to Australia. Here's a travel tip I remember from my last time there, though: do not, under any circumstance, ever try to out drink an Australian native, and especially don't try to do this on their home turf. Get comfortable with Mercury and Mars, but don't try to beat someone on their own ground. Some fights aren't worth the trouble. Capricorn [12. 23 - 1. 18]: If this was a normal month with 30 regular days, we could work well with the numbers, because there is a turning point for you: Feb. 15. Mark it. Inscribe it, think about it. Yes, that's the day AFTER Valentine's Day. That's the day after the big holiday for love and romance, that's the day after all the good stuff is supposed to happen. The easy way out for me, the simplest way to sit down with my quill pen and describe what is going on, is to suggest your romantic encounter is a great but everything afterwards goes right down the plumbing, straight into the sewer. You don't like that. Neither do I. It's a matter of understanding how the planets work, and it's a matter of balancing what is going on, and Mercury is not the big culprit. Sure, he's up to his usual tricks, but you have a Capricorn sense of humor, and while that might be sorely tested, you're still dealing with it okay. It's what happens when Mars sneaks out of Scorpio that has me concerned. Yes, my fine Capricorn friend, Mars is going to start playing a little game with your subconscious side, tweaking your desires, adding a little stage direction to some of your mental images, and Mr. Red Orb of Desire himself will also take some of the mercurial stuff which is already beginning to pop up, and it will add a definite spin to it. Work with this weirdness, not against it. A little time after the middle of the month, a little time from there to the end of the month -- it's an excellent time to go fish. This could be literal, or this could figurative, but it's great time to seek a little solace of your own company, if only for the briefest of times. In other words, plan on a little time alone, after the holiday. Give Cupid's arrows a chance to find their targets. Aquarius [1. 19 - 2. 18]: For several years, I was dutifully recording various antics about Mercury being retrograde, little stories of woe and missed communications, missed directions, and missed understandings, little tales with a degree of humor in them, little stories which I always thought were kind of cute. My family s a great source of entertainment for me. Unfortunately, that same family doesn't always like being the butt of the cosmic joke, and I'm afraid some of the members of my immediate family started taking it rather personally that I was so willing to put their problems into print, their lives [our lives], laid bare for everyone to see. Know the feeling? Okay, next point: I found a legal notice on the tail end of a celebrity web page, "anything submitted to us becomes ours," was the gist of what it said, in so much legalese. Now, before you consider sending me your tales of woe due to the influence of Mr. Mercury, think about it. Do you really want to see it in print? Do you really want all your little problems, no matter how comical at the time, do you really want this recorded for posterity? That's what you have to look out for, most near all this month. You're usually lucky in the "Mercury is backwards" department, You're usually untouched, or, at least, not troubled much. Sadly, that is not the case this time. Words, deeds and events have a way of coming back to haunt you -- particularly this month. Deal is Mr. Mercury goes backwards all through your sign, and the deal is he brings up some old stuff that you really should've dealt with earlier. And the problem is, you're less inclined to want to deal with this stuff as it arises. No easy way through, either. Now, I know it's your birthday time, for a lot of you, and I know that you'd like to have a good party, and I know it should be your party time all month long, but be a little extra careful. Maybe leave some open spots in your calendar and schedule to make sure you can account for unexpected little "things" which are bound to arise. I know you feel like we're going over old ground, but it's like one family story I committed to a web page: it has continued to haunt me every year since. You've got a similar haunting this month. Laugh about it. Pisces [2. 19 - 3. 20]: Look here: I've been writing these things, and spending a lot of time interfacing with real people, looking at what is going on with each sign, and while that, in and of itself, is no great claim, it does give me an edge which I find lacking in some others, an ability to see just what is going on. And from that observed pattern, one of the things I've noticed is that you're going to be a little more upset, uptight, and unsettled for this coming month. Deal with it. The problem is Mercury, the solution is patience, and the rest of us fail to grasp the seriousness of your concern. It's like this: there are certain things in your life, certain little motions you go through, it's like grinding the politically correct coffee beans for that breakfast cup of coffee around my trailer, it's a very important task, and it comes first, every morning. Ritual. There's something entirely comforting in the same old thing, the same action, almost as if by rote memory, each morning, same thing, stagger to the kitchen's counter, pour beans into the grinder, whir, crunch, and all is getting better. Now, around here, the cat gets upset when I don't open a can of food for her first, but let's face some facts, you have to have priorities, and the coffee comes first. Then the cat food. Mercury is going to pull some tricks, though, and here's the example, you stagger to the counter again, expecting the usual, and find that you're out of coffee beans. Tragedy? Not according to the cat, she could care less, like so many other non-Pisces folks. Now, before you step out to pick up some coffee, consider that extra part of the ritual which is missing: feed the cat. While this won't make everything all better, given the flavor to the month, doing something special for someone else, even in light of your own, personal disaster, is a good idea.

What do they mean "Mars is spinning right now"? Are there times when Mars doesn't spin? This is in reference to Sag's being energized, twin girls.

Friday, February 9, 2001 EARTH ELEMENT: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn There is more to a sticky situation than meets the eye. While you think it might be better to watch out only for yourself, this situation doesn't call for that. Lay the facts out on all the angles you know about -- your candor will be appreciated. FIRE ELEMENT: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius Stop worrying how others are viewing you. You're being influenced by one particular person who is trying to shake your confidence. If you look behind their mask, you'll see the real reason why they are doing what they are doing. Cut this person loose -- you don't need the hassle. AIR ELEMENT: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra You've come to a crossroads on an important decision. You're now wondering if either road is the path you should take. Maybe it would be a good idea to sit down and have a picnic at the fork in the road before you make a decision! Ask a Pisces to give you a hand. WATER ELEMENT: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces It's been a stressful week and you've handled it well. Thank those who have helped you do some of the "dirty work."

Don't get involved in domestic quarrels today, especially someone elses. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Today is a good one for shopping for computers and other electronic equipment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Unexpected romance should be yours today as you accidentally meet someone who electrifies you right from the beginning. Don't be shy with this one as it won't pay off for you. Playing your cards right could net you a lifelong mate. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Looking too deep into a persons motives may not be wise today as it could bring some disillusionment and heartache. Ever one is not as altruistic as we would like for them to be. Best to just accept it on face value and keep your good feeling. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Opportunities at work open a clear path to your goals today so be ready to seize the moment and run with it. Friends who seek your advice today may not be so much in need of advice as they are of acceptance of their ideas. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Are you one of the creative ones? If so then this would be a good time to enlist the aid of a good agent to be able to field the offers that will soon be coming your way. There is nothing as for- midable as a good agent working for that personal percentage. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Keep a high profile today, making sure that those who count know you are around and just how valuable you really are. Show by example rather than with a lot of bragging. A favorite teen may give some pause for reflection tonight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) The stars only indicate what may come if a certain personality quirk is not attended to. The stars do not demand as it is up to each person to choose their own path in life no matter what it may lead to. Choose wisely. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Meeting with prospective clients or future employers is indicated for today as your prospects for the future show a bug increase. The continued accent on romance makes that decision you need to make much more attractive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Today finds you with a yen towards higher education, or at least some job training updates to futher your chances of a promotion at work. Your spouse may feel neglected a lot lately but you wise up today and find ways to make this person feel needed. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Buy yourself a gift today; you deserve it, and you've earned it. Be sure it is something shamelessly expensive though and shock those who have the idea you are miserly. A talk with business professionals today will give your career a big boost.

OOOOOOO where is the 14th??? Happy Valentine's Day, Honey! February 15, 2001 ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Living in the past will not do a thing to help your future so to be progressive you have to shake off those memories and forge ahead into the exciting future! Spend more time with friends and family, go out and make new acquaintances; learn to trust again. TAURUS (Apr. 21- may 21) There are many things on the horizon for you but only if you reach for them will you be able to attain one to help you. Don't be shy about promoting yourself as most people are simply a mirror of the way we think of ourselves. Remember smiles are free, but worth their weight in gold. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Making decision are one of the things you are good at...sticking to them is a whole different story but today it will pay off big for you if you do not switch horses in the middle of the stream. Don't come off looking wishy washy to someone today. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Withdrawing into your shell and pouting in the nearest corner will not do anything towards helping you get your own way today, in fact, it could make you independent mate very aggravated and gone! At least for the duration of the pout. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Everyone is not going to agree with you today or any other day so it is best not to make a big deal out of it, remember that opinions are like fingers, most everyone has a few of their own. Take the grumpiness home and all you will do is upset the family without a cause. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) Like it or not you are this years role model to some teens and you must strive to live up to their ideal of you. That is never really a problem for you as helping your fellowman and applying ethics to everything you do just comes naturally to you, sort of like a second nature. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) No one should ever take a risk with their reputation in business or personal life because you have no idea how important it is until you lose it...you could be a lifetime just trying to win it back! Ease up on the jealousy bit before you drive someone away from you...this person can be trusted. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Don't let the baggage from a former romance cloud this one as they are two different people with two different outlooks on life and their own code of ethics. If you dwell too much on someone elses mistakes you may find yourself making those same ones! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Dreams and goals, goals and dreams are the main interest for today as you find someone who not only shares your interests but is wil- ling to wait until some of those goals are achieved before wanting a commitment. This is a rare bird and you find she/he has flown into your heart. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) Get out your sense of humor and dust it off as it has been unused for much too long. Putting all your heart and interest into get- ting ahead leaves a wide area of opportunity for neglecting some of the simpler forms of relaxation and entertainment. Get up and out! AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) Saving for the future is the one thing you really need to do and can not bear to dwell on it too much as you are so Now oriented. No one will do it for you and you won't be young forever. Talk it over with a mate and put even a few dollars a week away and it will grow in time. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Pay attention to the small details today and the big ones will just naturally fall into place. Business opportunities come your way today which can either shore up a sagging financial base or increase an already stable one. Be ready to grab it before it passes you by.
