out in the stars
July 24-August 6
by C. Lichtenstein - - _
Special to Q-Notes
, Welcome to the eclipse-o-rama, cousins! During
this period we face a partial lunar eclipse and, two
weefc from now, a total solar eclipse. These eclipses
stir our pot and tempt us into extreme actions and
reactions. Don’t boss the course during and three
days after these eclipses. If it’s still a match made in
heaven, then start a raging fire.
ARIES (March21-April20)
Clubby gay Rarns may find their social groups
claustrophobically confining during the partial lu
nar eclipse. You yearn to break out and find a new
path full of new and exciting people. Alas, the only
new path you’ll stumble upon is one where every
one wears on you. Happy? If not, suffer through your
compadres peccadillos and wait a week for the spark
to reignite.
TAURUS (April21-May21)
The partial lunar eclipse will have all hard bitten
proud Bulls questioning their professional aspira
tions. When all is said and done, are you ready to
give up the game, take your toys and go home? Prob
ably not, but you’ll play it out that way if you over
react. Take a deep breath and throw your petty tan
trum, but reinforce your troops in preparation for
the next battle.
GEMINI (May22-June21)
Pink Twins are in for a grand global gay adven
ture during the partial lunar eclipse. Any far afield
adventure will take you further than you initially
thought. But before you get lost in some little squalid
corner of the world, take stock of your itinerary and
book the entire trip in first class. If you’re off on a
wild adventure, you might as well be comfortable.
CANCER (June22-July23)
Proud Cancers may embark on a sexual tour de
force when the partial lunar eclipse jump starts your
engine. Harness and saddle your horses, cousin; this
transit may encourage you to buck too many bron
cos and you may just get tossed and bruised. Try as
hard as you can to take things slowly and really get
to know someone before you ride the pony. And pack
a lump...of sugar.
LEO (July24-Aug. 23)
Misunderstandings in relationships hit an espe
cially sour note when the lunar eclipse casts a shadow
over your commitments. Handle all little spats with
extreme patience now; this transit passes quickly and
it would be a shame to have a couple of little sparks
burn down your house. For those gay Lions still seek
ing the right fit, don’t buy anything off the rack (or
on sale) during this time.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23)
Extra work on the job results in...much more
work. If you feel like a mangy rat on a treadmill,
blame it on the partial lunar eclipse and its swarm of
flies. Keep in mind that the more work you volun
teer to do at this time, the more you will get without
any apparent personal benefit. Do you enjoy being
part of the pint-sized proletariat? Wouldn’t you rather
be a 12-inch ruler?
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
Even fun and frolic has its pitfalls and minefields

when the partial lunar eclipse spits in your cham
pagne. Queer Libras are advised to take everything
seriously now, so summon yourself to approach any
youthful pasttime with a certain amount of mature
disdain. Park your inner child at daycare while the
planets have their rumble. Next week, party on!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Gay Scorps enjoy the security and privacy of their
home life. Now, as the lunar eclipse shades your back
yard, some of the foundations of your carefully
crafted abode may shake and crack. A slip of the lip
could herald in substantial changes, even with your
relationships to certain relatives. Good thing, too,
cousin; maybe a shake-up is just what is needed to
clear the air.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 22)
Oh, the same old story, cousin! If you wish you
had kept your big mouth shut on the job, blame the
fallout on the lunar eclipse. Your charm may fail you
or you may be called upon to deliver one of your
many impossible promises. No matter, proud Ar
cher; thank goodness most folks have a 12-minute
attention span. By next week, the spotlight will be
off your campaign trail.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 - Jan. 20)
Pink Capricorns are careful financial planners,
but now, with the partial lunar eclipse, your conser
vative outlook may swerve sharply to the left. Some
of your best investments may take a small hit as you
scramble to pick up the pennies. Before you jump
on any^quick fix gravy train, recall Mom’s fateful
words: “If something seems too good to be true, it
probably is.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)
Aggressive ovefcompensation may be the words
of the day for Aqueerians. The partial lunar transit
eclipses your public persona. The temptation is to
show the world what you — and only you alone —
can do, but hold yourself back with the big hook.
Right now your best laid eggs will wind up loosely
scrambled on your dinner plate, courtesy of the pow
ers that be.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - March 20)
Your intuition revs into overdrive when the par
tial lunar eclipse conjures up an array of ghouls and
goblins to haunt your thoughts. Practical pink Fish
should not rely on those little internal voices to tell
them what to do. Try instead to use this sparky en
ergy to put some good gay elbow grease into any
good gay community effon. Your l^rma is calling
on the psychic line. ▼
