Q - L I V I N G
Out in the Stars
by Charlene Lichtenstein . Contributing Writer
nection, don’t allow
yourself to be put
on display and held
up for auction. Any
Venus and Mars rub-a-dub and set off some flir
ty sparks now. All is delightfully giddy until they
square retrograde Pluto. Is it a trip to the moon on
gossamer wings or just one of those crazy things?
Hedge your bets, just in case.
TAURUS (04.21 -05.21 )Global travel plans take
on a fuzzy, mystical vagueness. Despite the fog,
it feels right. You connect on deeper levels with
people and discover things that bring you to
new levels of compassion and understanding.
That is until you need to make fast and con
crete decisions. Keep your head in the clouds if
you like, but keep those hooves planted firmly
in reality.
GEMINI (05.22-06.21) Will you risk alienating
lovers by hanging around too much with friends?
There will be times right now when there is extra
stress placed on certain sexual encounters. Hot
pink Twins are very sociable and enjoy socializ
ing with an extra dose of flirt. You may want to
wine and dine closer to home now unless you
eventually want to whine and dine alone.
CANCER (06.22-07.23) Relationships that may
be teetering on the abyss could change course
one way or the other. Try not to burn the minute
oil at work while partners imagine all sorts of
goings-on. Gay Crabs still on the prowl may
wind up with an unpleasant twist to a tryst.
Blame it on weak excess, if you must. Pack extra
money for a late night taxi home, if you-know-
who lets you in!
LEO (07.24-08.23) Proud Lions may now be put
to the test. Which of the competing interests will
win out — a vacation of fiin and frolic or the
drudgery of the job? Increasingly blurry lines
between commitments may cause extra stress and
exhaustion. My advice is to make your priorities
and stick to them. And the priority should be
whatever eventually makes you happy, fulfilled
and flush.
VIRGO (08.24-09.23) As much as you would
prefer to always say the right thing at the right
time, you may find that your best moves take on a
perverse life of their own. Speak or act rashly and
pay the price, queer Virgin. Refrain from your
more adventuresome, party animal instincts.
Instead of being the wild jungle cat, you’ll wind
up as dinner. Hey, it could be worse.
UBRA (09.24-10.23) You can either take the
advice of well-meaning, but domineering family
members or you can stubbornly plow ahead and
waste valuable resources on an escapade that, at
any other time, would hardly be worth the time,
energy, money and effort. As you search for con-
bids? Lousy economy.
SCORPIO (10.24-11.22) Proud Scorps can be
led astray at work by those who do not have their
best interests at heart. Avoid falling for any
machiavellian whisper in your ear which can get
your whole thought process red hot and both
ered. The cannons roar! The thunder claps! And,
you race off to your own personal Waterloo. So,
remember — if you don’t take the bait, you won’t
get caught in the net.
SAGIHARIUS (11.23-12.22) If you think that
pu squander pur resources on wasteful personal
interest tangents, think again. Fun and games wind
up costing much more than expected, gay Archer.
This is especially true when it comes to gambling,
where the greater the risk, the greater the loss. Don’t
be afi'aid to enjoy purself, but do it cheaply. Even
better, get someone else to pay for pur jolly times.
CAPRICORN (12.23-01.20) New projects start
off with a bang. How well can you manage the
tidal wave? Pink Caps may be unable to stop the
ever increasing flow of people, places and things
demanding their attention. Too much can become
much too much. Don’t worry. Somehow you will
find a helping hand from close fiiends and family.
Of course, not without their stem lecture.
AQUARIUS (01.21-02.19) What foul creature
emerges from your closet when you open the
door? Wrestle ’em to the ground Aqueerius and
reprioritize pur value sptem. The cosmos sug
gests, no demands, that pu pursue charitable
endeavors. Karma is as karma does, the spirits
say. It may seem impossible to make your mark,
but make it you will. Make it in indelible ink and
not in chalk, kiddo.
PISCES (02.20-03.20) You think you are the
leader of the Pride parade, but pu may not have the
funds and the power to pull it off. Guppies can
become consumed with their own exaggerated
sense of self-worth, especially when they hobnob in
new social circles. “Is it hot in here or is it me?” pu
think to purself. Fact is, it’s not pu this time. It’s the
thermostat. Start sweating when the bill arrives.
ARIES (03.21-04.20) You are the toast of the
town as things get underway. And, yet, pu think
that pu need to change to b^ome more “accept
able” in others’ eyes. This miscalculation may
cause unintended upheaval in pur career. Why do
pu feel that it’s so important to restrict purself in
order to be accepted by certain other folks? I say,
let others adjust to you, proud Ram. ’Nuff said! I
