out in the stars
April 17-30

Special to Q-Notes
Harsh Saturn conflicts with both dizzy Neptune
and mad Mars. Life has a way of giving us a sharp
lesson for every half-hearted attempt so put yoUr
heart into it or expect due punishment.
ARIES (March21-April20)
Expect sonie interesting monetary conflicts when
Saturn forms a Grand Cross with retro Mars and
nebulous Neptune. Funds seem to slip though your
slippery fingers and all your pockets seem to have
holes. Rather than become a lender or a borrower,
gay Rams should avoid it all and entertain them
selves with cheap thrills instead. No names, please!
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)
Power struggles abound when Saturn opposes
Mars and squares Nepmne. Queer Bulls grapple with
the conflict of either giving of themselves too much
(and losing their independence) or giving of them
selves too little (and losing their companion or their
professional status). These personal decisions will set
the course for you for the next several months.
GEMINI (May22-June21)
We all have our personal prisons, pardner, but
during the Saturn, Mars, Neptune Grand Cross, even
balanced gay Twins are apt to tip the scales and
tumble into the abyss. Don’t be tempted to escape
from it all; you are made from sterner stuff, cousin.
Face the demons at home or at work and let them
know who’s boss...uh, who is the boss?
CANCER (June22-July23)
Life is one big seesaw for proud Cancers. The
Grand Cross will force otherwise compromising
Crabs to make a choice; friends or lovers. Who do
you take to the dance? I suppose it depends upon
who is the most congenial. But choose carefully, even
the summer can have its cold, cold nights.
LEO (July24-Aug.23)
If proud Lions are pulled in three directions, chalk
it up to the Grand Cross. Partners, family and bosses
all vie for your attention and a piece of your flesh.
Don’t get pulled apart, cousin; take everything slowly
and keep your sense of humor. Suggestion: If bosses
want a piece of you, give ’em your middle finger.
Give lovers something much lower.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)
Every little gripe on the job is magnified and
amplified during the Grand Cross. If you’re itching
to start a revolution, go ahead, comrade, but strike
with your eyes fully open and prepared to deal with
aftershocks. Proud Virgins are usually fairly precise;
however retro Mars now has you flailing at appari
tions. Pick at scabs later.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
Sex, drugs and rock and roll haunt you like a
mantra throughout the Grand Cross. You’re tempted
to dance the night away in flimsy peekaboos and
gulp intoxicants like candy. But the cost of lusty fun
may be too steep for even pink Libras as retro Mars
pumps up the literal and figurative price tag. How
about a cup of tea with your auntie instead?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Gay Scorps feel the urge to explode like fireworks.
Such attention grabbing will eclipse the needs of
partners and family. Like a firecracker, you’ll cause a
big bang, dissipate and-be swept up with the gar
bage. So, why stir up a commotion now when you
lack stamina and follow through? Wait until later
when you are again a force to be reckoned with.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 22)
If your intuition runs into overdrive, blame the
impact of the Grand Cross. Proud Archers may wind
up saying some fairly extraordinary things during
this transit, many of which can disrupt the work
place. (So what else is new?) Leave the daily injus
tices to someone else and use this time to clean out
the crap in your own closet. Burn it to dust!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 - Jan. 20)
Queer Caps may feel that friends are reining them
in and preventing them from letting loose and hav
ing fun. Chalk up this frustration to the Grand Cross.
Fact is, sweetheart, compadres have your best inter
ests at heart and you are far too scatterbrained to be
left alone. Wait until you can party hearty and not
lose the bank in the process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)
If you have an overwhelming urge to dye your
hair lavender and dress in transparent mumus at
work, take some time off instead. The Saturn/Nep
tune/Mars Grand Cross tempts otherwise sensible
Aqueerians to take unnecessary corporate risks that
could create problems for future success and status.
Avoid confrontation with superiors by whining to
pals instead.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - March 20)
Pink Fish want to change the world, but should
settle for a street corner instead. The Grand Cross
has you focusing on global problems that you cur
rently do not have the resources to change. Breathe
in, breathe out; you’re better off mediating on a fu
ture course of action rather than plowing ahead. T
