Y2K redux
by Charlene Lichtenstein
Special to Q-Notes
[Editors note: We are reprinting the forecast from
2000for you to review. How did it match up with
how your year unfolded? This might make for an
interesting reflection.]
I’ve been handed the daunting task of predict
ing events for 2000 — the next millennium. Stick
lers say that the millennium begins in 2001 but
any excuse to poke around a year early will do.
Gay2K, Hey Y-not??
Impressive planetary events abound: In Feb
ruary, a solar eclipse delivers surprises! In May,
Jupiter and Saturn multiplies our life lessons. At
the same time, seven planets line up in bullish
Taurus. Stubborn!! No matter what sign you are,
expect a zetz from these cosmic events. So keep
your assets liquid, stock up on tunafish and read
ahead to see how the planets corrupt your hard
drive this next year:
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
Love: The emphasis is on balancing friendships
with personal needs this year. Someone you trust
disappoints you during the eclipse. How about a
cheap and tawdry affair this summer? OK, it won’t
be cheap. Money: Gay Rams check their bottom
line when planets line up in Taurus and tempt
self-indulgence. This planetary conga line even
tually bodes well for professional plans because
the fixed energy stops at nothing once it’s on track.
Choose wisely....
TAURUS (April 21-May 21)
Love: Between the February eclipse and the
summer’s Taurean line-up, queer Bulls have ample
opportunity to graze at assorted meet markets.
Strut your stuff Wear clean underwear...or none
at all. Money: Interestingly, more emphasis is
placed on money than love this year. Dough
evaporates during the eclipse but magically reap
pears in the summer once you regain your fiscal
common sense. Splurge? Fugetabout it.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
Love: The eclipse broadcasts your most inti
mate secrets to the galaxy. Closeted Twins are
kaput and good thing too; Liberation is liberat
ing! Imagine a dreamboat this summer with all
those bullish planets. Haul it into port, you old
salt. Money: You’re an easy touch this year and
will be tempted to spend on expensive trinkets
and nonsense. What the hell; you only live once.
There are those who truly need your help and
those who are lazy sponges. Squeeze to find out.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23)
Love: Friends lead you into mischief especially
during the eclipse. Will you lose your heart to a
loser? Pink Crabs are advised to dance with the
group dynamic through the summer. Romance is
highlighted and so are you. Money: Cash flows a
little too easily early in the year when the eclipse
makes you a sucker for a sob sister. There are worse
things in life, but try to save for a rainy day or a
fabulous Taurean summer oomph.
for your feathered nests. How much does domes
tic bliss cost? Don’t ask!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec.22)
Love: Blurting out your intentions doesn’t have
the intended effect during the eclipse. Mouthy
gay Archers are hoisted on their own petards. Are
they clean?? Meet your match this summer at the
gym. You lucky thing! Money: If you work hard
this year, it pays off handsomely. The summer
crush of Taurean planets turn up the juice on the:
job. Avoid nasty comments as events percolate; a
slip of the tongue slips you up....at work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 23 - Jan. 20)
Love: What you value in life is due for a reas
sessment during the eclipse. It’s a new millennium
so look at life from a new angle; A new rainbow
you attracts multitudes. Summer fun is heated,
intense and wild. Go for it! Money: Gay Goats
can be tightwads but the eclipse loosens your wad.
There may be a bit of waste so dole out your trea
sure discerningly. Fun has it’s profitable side this
summer .so promise to party hearty, you party
animal you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)
Love: The eclipse in your own sign either re
solves festering issues or creates new ones.
Aqueerians transform themselves this year with a
new look. Good thing; Sexy new lovers beat a path
to your door this summer. Is your welcome mat
clean? Money: Put your money where your mouth
is. Gay2K is a time of action and implementa
tion. Make your mark in the summer when a line
of practical planets help you build for the future.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - March 20)
Love: Protect your heart during the eclipse.
Rainbow Fish are swept off their feet by someone
who disappoints. Save your soft kisses for the sum
mer when planets stroll through sensual Taurus.
Ask and you shall receive. No names please!
Money: You’re tempted to take profits in Febru
ary but don’t. Monetary matters are temporarily
clouded during the eclipse. Wait. Revisit your
gains this summer when seven planets bunny hop
through practical Taurus. Can money buy love?
Let’s try. T

LEO (July 24 - August 23)
Love: 2000 is a pivotal growth year. Partner
ship issues come to the fore with the eclipse. Single
cubs are swept off their paws. Summer romance
is found on the job. Who woulda thought?
Money: You’re propelled into the limelight in 2000
so make it pay off Professional propulsion is as
sured in May but set firm foundations beforehand.
Gay Leps are top of the heap. Which heap??
VIRGO (August 24 - Sept. 23)
Love: Torrid romance is there for the asking.
Common sense conflicts with intuition during the
eclipse so look before you leap. Travel this sum
mer to snag your quarry. The most interesting
people will be found in the most interesting places.
Money: Queer Virgos amass a small fortune if they
adhere to a strict investment plan. The eclipse
brings a shake-up on the job. You’ll get nothing
for nothing during the Taurus pile-up this sum
mer; Hard work pays off laziness cashes you out.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
Love: Romance is a mixed bag especially dur
ing the eclipse when pink Libras wear their hearts
on their sleeves. Be discerning, cousin. This sum
mer is a hotbed of sexual activity, but don t re
strict yourself to just the bed. Money: Creative
pursuits reap big rewards, intrinsically and mon
etarily. Where will your gay muse lead you dur
ing the wild eclipse? You try to adhere to your
hottorn line this summer, but planets tempt you
to reach into other people’s pockets. Hmmm.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
Love: Gay Scorps have their share of emotional
tension-through out 2000. The eclipse unleashes
unresolved home and family issues. Do what you
have to do. All is forgiven by the summer, you
charrner you. Money: Planning on a move? Wait
until after the eclipse. By the summer, the plan
etary trail in Taurus leads to increased expenses
